[06:44] <mak69> when i press enter upon 'watch tv' i receive mythtv has no capture cards defined. please run the mythtv-setup program. need help!
[06:45] <UbuntuNoob> hi i have an iso file for windows 7 and i am on ubuntu. how can i mount/open the .iso?
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> mak69: did you congure your tv device?
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> UbuntuNoob: sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/iso
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> UbuntuNoob: justchange the path to the iso file in that command and it will mount at /media/iso
[06:46] <dugger5688> UbuntuNoob: What are you trying to do exactly?
[06:46] <dborba> mak69, not to say you won't be able to get help here. but it might be more effective to try #mythtv-users and #ubuntu-mythtv
[06:47] <jerry_> irc.freenode.net
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> UbuntuNoob: there arenautilus scripts around but it's quicker on my slooow connection to give the command line ;)
[06:48] <UbuntuNoob> drugger5688: im trying to open the .iso to install windows as my new os on this computer
[06:48] <BuzzAttack> hi guys, I am very new to linux and I just downloaded ubuntu. but I cannot get it to connect to my wireless network
[06:48] <BuzzAttack> can anyone help
[06:48] <pLr> !wireless | BuzzAttack
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> BuzzAttack: run: sudo lshw -C network ,you will see a product line. Use it to find guides
[06:49] <BuzzAttack> thankyou, I have a read
[06:49] <dugger5688> UbuntuNoob: You don't need to open the ISO for that, you need to burn it to a DVD.
[06:49] <dborba> UbuntuNoob, you can't really do that from inside linux as far as I know. you gotta burn that dvd but
[06:49] <testi_> Does Ubuntu provide some kind of generic desktop notification, some dbus thing? e.g. let's say I want to monitor subversion commits - or for example certain types of events on my server station and let's assume i've made these scripts already. How would they be able to notify me without caring about UI-stuff?
[06:49] <dborba> UbuntuNoob, bud*
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> BuzzAttack: you may find connecting to a wired connection and upgrading greatly beneficial
[06:49] <UbuntuNoob> alright well i cant write it to a disk because the file is too big
[06:49] <dugger5688> How big?
[06:49] <UbuntuNoob> 2.3g
[06:49] <dborba> UbuntuNoob, DVD not CD
[06:50] <dugger5688> DVD's are 4.7 or something like that.
[06:50] <UbuntuNoob> and i tried to move it to a usb and boot from the usb but it wouldnt boot from a usb drive
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> testi_: could use notify-osd to show messages on the desktop screen
[06:50] <miststlkr> I added a second video card for a third monitor, but can not seem to get one X session to span all three.   It worked fine with two
[06:50] <UbuntuNoob> omg i dont want to go buy a dvd to write to but i guess i will
[06:50] <Jordan_U> testi_: Yes, it's called "notify-osd", from a script you can run: notify-send "hello, world"
[06:50] <jerry_> how to go to chat with wine
[06:50] <dborba> UbuntuNoob, pretty much only way to install windows
[06:50] <UbuntuNoob> when i installed ubuntu it was able to fit on the cd so i thought it would be alright _-_
[06:50] <jerry_> bffg
[06:50] <UbuntuNoob> -_-
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> UbuntuNoob: it takes a bit of work to make bootable windows usb sticks
[06:51] <dborba> UbuntuNoob, they keep ubuntu under 700MB specifically so it fits on a cd
[06:51] <dugger5688> UbuntuNoob: Just borrow a disk from a friend, if you have a key you'll save yourself the hassle.
[06:51] <UbuntuNoob> actionparsnip: i tried it for ubuntu too and it weouldnt boot from a usb i think it is my laptop
[06:51] <testi_> Thanks alot ActionParsnip, Jordan_U :) Ubuntu is just so cool
[06:51] <UbuntuNoob> what is an iso mountiny system for ubuntu i can download?
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> UbuntuNoob: yes, using windows installs from usb takes a bit of work to get going
[06:51] <dugger5688> UbuntuNoob: Why do you want to ditch Ubuntu?
[06:52] <Jordan_U> testi_: You're welcome :)
[06:52] <UbuntuNoob> drugger5688: for one it keeps crashing, which i was told was because of my chipset
[06:52] <dugger5688> ActionParsnip: I've seen it done... but yeah, it's ugly.
[06:52] <jerry_> how to change #ubuntu to #winehq
[06:52] <UbuntuNoob> drugger5688: and it is also pretty difficult to manage between this and my other computer, my main one, which is a windows
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> dugger5688: ubuntu isn't always the answer and may not fit the system reuirements
[06:53] <dborba> jerry_, ./j #winehq
[06:53] <dborba> jerry_, just remove the .
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> dborba: habit huh ;)
[06:54] <jerry_> srry i dont understand
[06:54] <dborba> ActionParsnip, yea :( - old habits die hard
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> jerry_: where you just wrote that type: /join #winehq
[06:54] <jerry_> ok thx
[06:54] <UbuntuNoob> dugger5688: for one it keeps crashing, which i was told was because of my chipset, and it is also pretty difficult to manage between this and my other computer, my main one, which is a windows
[06:55] <dugger5688> UbuntuNoob: Why didn't you leave windows on there during the install? I believe the default is to leave windows and install ubuntu alongside it.
[06:55] <UbuntuNoob> dugger5688: it used to have windows and it got a pretty bad virus so i had t wipe it and because i didnt have the install disk, i installed ubuntu for free
[06:56] <dborba> dugger5688, I think you're right - but if you have the whole drive with a single partition I wouldn't trust a resize... resizing a boot ntfs partition is always risky
[06:56] <Jordan_U> UbuntuNoob: You may have better luck with Ubuntu 10.10 which will be released Sunday. Whatever you choose I hope you'll try Ubuntu again in a few years at least, it gets better all the time :)
[06:57] <kaushal> hi
[06:57] <dugger5688> UbuntuNoob: I've rescued many people PCs with an Ubuntu live CD. Sorry it's giving you trouble, I've always been lucky and Ubuntu works beautifully for me.
[06:57] <kaushal> can someone please guide me about fcron
[06:57] <kaushal> is there a way to edit fcron subject email
[06:57] <dborba> kaushal, have you tried the man?
[06:58] <UbuntuNoob> dugger5688: yeah the main thing is that for some reason it is very laggy and almost every time i start it now something happens and the bar at the top with the x to close and minimize and maximize disappears and i cant change windows and im basically frozen its too hard to function
[06:58] <UbuntuNoob> also what is the terminal command to get updates
[06:59] <dugger5688> UbuntuNoob: 'sudo apt-get update' followed by 'sudo apt-get upgrade'
[06:59] <kaushal> dborba: yeah
[06:59] <UbuntuNoob> gracias
[07:01] <dborba> kaushal, i think it might be hard coded - not really finding anything
[07:01] <dborba> kaushal, maybe try the user mailing list
[07:02] <Rob235> hey
[07:02] <mesees> hey all!
[07:03] <mesees> so, ive spent a week messing around with ubuntu and love it!...what do i do with it now?
[07:03] <Rob235> i just installed an app from a daily build repo, it has extra packages but they wont install saying they are dependent on the regular build (not the pre-release builds)
[07:03] <Rob235> how do i get around that
[07:03] <Rob235> or cant you
[07:04] <UbuntuNoob> yeah my computer just did it again
[07:04] <dborba> mesees, whatever you do with your computer :)
[07:04] <Rob235> look at porn
[07:04] <UbuntuNoob> all of my windows are square and with "sharp corners" and none of them have the option to close or minimize or maximize and i cant switch windows
[07:04] <mesees> dborba, seems so easy doesnt it :)
[07:05] <Rob235> when does 10.10 come out anyway
[07:05] <Rob235> a week?
[07:05] <dborba> mesees, if your daily life largely depends on your computer - it pretty much is :D
[07:05] <dborba> Rob235, never got into porn on linux... the penguins just don't do it for me
[07:06] <dborba> mesees, i'm assuming you're just trying to figure out cool stuff to do with ubuntu. have you played around with the shell?
[07:06] <Rob235> and is it better to do a clean install of 10.10 or is upgrading from 10.04 fine in ubuntu without any issues
[07:06] <mesees> dborba, i have not
[07:06] <Rob235> one thing i love in ubuntu with compiz is the cube for desktop switching
[07:07] <Rob235> and desktop switching in general
[07:07] <mesees> one question i did have, does the eye candy (changing theme, fonts, etc) bog down ubuntu at all like it does windows?
[07:07] <UbuntuNoob> anyone know why or what i can do
[07:07] <Rob235> ive been using ubuntu for a little while now and when i have to boot into windows for something im amazed how slow everything is
[07:08] <nicofs> UbuntuNoob: is that a persistent problem? otherwise try to reboot or change the theme...
[07:09] <UbuntuNoob> nicofs: yes it happens every time i boot up and usually when watching a video or something that requires a lot of usage
[07:09] <dborba> mesees, if your computer is not powerful enough to handle all the graphical stuff then yes. IE: if you're on a netbook (no video card) and you turn all the effects on it will probably freeze
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> dborba: systems won't post without a video card dude
[07:11] <dborba> ActionParsnip, you know what i mean... just makes the answer a bit easier :P. if you max out compiz with crappy on board graphics things ain't gonna go well
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> UbuntuNoob: did you configure your display?
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> dborba: my onboard nvidia 6200 runs full compiz and games fine, but I know what you mean (crappy onboard SiS or low end intel)
[07:12] <awanti> i want to share folder from ubuntu machine 10.04 to windows machine. so plz. guide me.
[07:13] <blakkheim> awanti: samba
[07:13] <Displacer> what package installs /usr/lib/libGL.so?
[07:13] <Displacer> i have libGLU.so only
[07:13] <magnetron> whenever i try to start firefox my computer slows down to a crawl, i'm unable to use most UI elements in Ubuntu. how to start firefox in a "safe mode"?
[07:13] <awanti> i need configuration steps. plz.
[07:13] <blakkheim> !samba > awanti
[07:14] <dborba> blakkheim, you could just tell people to install openssh-server & download winscp on their windows box :)
[07:15] <blakkheim> dborba: or an ftp server, or an nfs server, etc..
[07:15] <nicofs> I am looking for a good network monitor. i need to monitor my 3g connection... [using xubuntu]
[07:15] <dborba> blakkheim, of course - it's just that "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" is 1 line and gets you the whole file system
[07:16] <Votan> anyone using laptop-mode-tools on 10.04+ ?
[07:16] <dborba> no real setup or config required
[07:16] <magnetron> nicofs: are you using network-manager to connect?
[07:16] <unforgiven512|m> Register
[07:16] <paddymelon> Hey guys, if I'm getting errors about a .htpasswd file not being able to be accessed, both within the document root and outside and I
[07:16] <nicofs> magnetron: yes
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | Votan
[07:16] <paddymelon> 've chmodded correctly, what user should own the file?
[07:16] <magnetron> nicofs: and you want to monitor bandwidth usage?
[07:17] <paddymelon> basically: Who should own a .htpasswd file? Because I'm getting permission issues with apache2
[07:17] <paddymelon> (with root)
[07:17] <Votan> alright ... Is laptop-mode-tools still working on 10.04 as it requires HAL and that has been removed afaik.
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> Displacer: run: dpkg-S libGL.so
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> Oops
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> Dpkg -S libGL.so
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> You get the idea
[07:18] <nicofs> magnetron: i want to know what kind of connection is going (i.e. GPRS, EDGE, UMTS) and if i am actually connected because the network manager tells me (via the icon) that i am connected even if the signal has been lost... it's just not accurate...
[07:18] <Displacer> dpkg-S libGL.so shows it is installed in /usr/lib/mesa
[07:18] <Displacer> instead of /usr/lib
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> Displacer: then symlink it
[07:19] <magnetron> nicofs: hmm, are you using a Huawei modem? which model?
[07:19] <Displacer> ActionParsnip, is it right way?
[07:19] <dborba> #&$@#^!!!! - why the * does dkpg keep hanging :\
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> Displacer: sure,it'll work
[07:19] <magnetron> dborba: do you get any error messages?
[07:20] <wareya_> How do I set up ubuntu to use Xfce's WM and desktop process, but everything else from gnome?
[07:20] <nicofs> magnetron: Huawei EM770W
[07:20] <Displacer> why apt didnt make it and i have to do it myself?
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> dborba: can you pastebin your output in the terminal which it is hung at.
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> Displacer: log a bug is all I can suggest
[07:21] <UbuntuNoob> hey gparted wont let me resize my hdd and i only have one partition how come
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> Displacer: sometimes lib linking is needed to humour apps
[07:21] <dborba> magnetron, nope - it just never finishes unpacking. last time i killed the session that was running it. then manually killed apt-get and dkpg. manually removed the lock & ran dpkg --configure -a
[07:21] <histo> Can someone tell me what version of alsa is in 10.04
[07:21] <dborba> ActionParsnip, let me kill the whole thing and run it again
[07:21] <slipttees> hi folks
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> Displacer: like linking newer versions to older version filenames to keep stuff happy
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> Hi slipttees
[07:21] <UbuntuNoob> i have 44 gigs of unused space is there a way to make a separate partition without wiping the whole hdd
[07:21] <slipttees> everyone can help to this http://pastebin.com/K66mfrER
[07:21] <slipttees> :D
[07:22] <dborba> ActionParsnip, it was happens while unpacking
[07:22] <ActionParsnip> UbuntuNoob: what is the current OS
[07:22] <dborba> ActionParsnip, erm - it happens*
[07:22] <UbuntuNoob> lucid
[07:22] <ppk55> i'm trying to setup a task bar launcher for xfce's terminal... what's the command i need to use?
[07:22] <Displacer> ActionParsnip, thanks
[07:23] <histo> !info alsa-utils
[07:23] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: u can help me?
[07:23] <slipttees> http://pastebin.com/K66mfrER
[07:23] <ActionParsnip> UbuntuNoob: make sure your backups are recent and boot to livecd. You can resize ext4 there to make unpartitioned space
[07:23] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: no, as you haven't stated you issue as far as I can see
[07:23] <slipttees> what?
[07:24] <ActionParsnip> dborba: do you have free space on the partition where dpkg is working...
[07:24] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: I don't know what your issue is
[07:24] <slipttees> :-(
[07:24] <ActionParsnip> dborba: df -h ,will tell you
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: try asking the channel, see if anyone knows an answer
[07:25] <dborba> ActionParsnip, at least 20GB
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> dborba: cool
[07:25] <dborba> ActionParsnip, crap - now i killed the shell that was running it and when i try to kill <pid> it's not doing anything & killall doesn't see it
[07:25] <dborba> ActionParsnip, dkpg that is
[07:26] <slipttees> please, everyone can help me to this: -input-charset

[07:26] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | dborba
[07:27] <slipttees> =[
[07:27] <UbuntuNoob> ok so i found a way to make partitions buty when i do it, it says /dev/sda1 is mounted; will nto make a filesystem here!
[07:27] <UbuntuNoob> what can i do to make a partition?
[07:27] <blakkheim> use a livecd
[07:27] <dborba> ActionParsnip, yea... I found that about an hour ago when this first happened... this time however i'm getting:
[07:28] <ahox> UbuntuNoob: you must not make a fs on a mounted partition
[07:28] <dborba> ActionParsnip, /var/lib/dpkg/lock:  root      11908 F.... dpkg
[07:28] <dborba> Kill process 11908 ? (y/N) y
[07:28] <dborba> dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[07:28] <ahox> so if it is your root partition (sounds like it) use a live cd, if not, you can unmount it first with sudo umount /dev/sda1
[07:28] <dborba> ActionParsnip, (probably because i screwed something up when cleaning it by hand last time)
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: why are you remastering the iso as root?
[07:28] <unforgiven512|m> Sorry.
[07:29] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: chroot livecd
[07:29] <paddymelon> Anyone know why I'm getting permission denied on a .htpasswd chmodded to 640, owned by root with apache2?
[07:29] <slipttees> squashfs
[07:29] <unforgiven512|m> Fixing registered nicks.
[07:29] <ahox> also, does anyone know how to only extract or print the notes from openoffice impress?
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> dborba: dpkgis still running. Kill it off
[07:29] <ahox> I want them as a guide for a talk, as a single or two pages
[07:29] <Votan> talking about partitions, is it possible to move my entire system from a single partition setup on ext to a split setup with a /boot on ext and the rest on btrfs without a reinstall ?
[07:29] <Mr18> How do you force log out?
[07:29] <Mr18> I cannot see my panels
[07:29] <dborba> ActionParsnip, yea... it won't let me. kill doesn't do anything. The first command should of killed it after the confirm but it doesn't seem to work
[07:29] <paddymelon> Anyone know why I'm getting permission denied on a .htpasswd chmodded to 640, owned by root with apache2?
[07:30] <ahox> Votan: depends, how much experience do you have?
[07:30] <sburwood> I've Lu!cid on my computer. I have a HP D2660 printer connected with it.  It worked, but doesn't work any more.  What's wrong? It works on Windows 7
[07:30] <Mr18> I accidentally set gnome-panel to transparent :s
[07:30] <paddymelon> Anyone know why I'm getting permission denied on a .htpasswd chmodded to 640, owned by root with apache2?
[07:30] <Votan> ahox depends :) I've been running different linux distros for a while, but I've not done much of hardcore modifying without in depth tutorials/info pages on my second screen
[07:31] <magnetron> paddymelon: apache2 isn't run by root
[07:31] <paddymelon> magnetron, so who is it run by, by default?
[07:31] <paddymelon> apache2?
[07:31] <ahox> Votan: generally it is possible, by creating the /boot partition, copying the boot over, change your fstab, install grub
[07:31] <sburwood> It's on a USB port and lsusb doesn't list it
[07:31] <magnetron> paddymelon: i can't remember
[07:31] <ahox> or rather, reinstall grub
[07:31] <UbuntuNoob> what is the button to view grub when starting ubuntu?
[07:32] <paddymelon> ok, thanks, that gives me a good lead now!
[07:32] <linuxfox> Hy out there -I've tried desperately to get my Microtek Scanmaker 3600 to work -Xsane just doesn't find it. Any suggestions?
[07:32] <slipttees> please help: http://pastebin.com/K66mfrER
[07:32] <paddymelon> How do I list users on my system?
[07:32] <Votan> ahox what about the rest? I want to move the rest from ext4 to btrfs ?
[07:32] <ahox> What I would do is first make the /boot partition, copy it over, change your fstab, test everything
[07:32] <magnetron> paddymelon: check the ownership of the standard apache config
[07:32] <sburwood> anyone answering me?
[07:33] <paddymelon> magnetron: Good idea! Thanks!
[07:33] <ahox> there is a program called btrfs-convert, it can go from ext4 to btrfs
[07:33] <ahox> but before you do that, make sure that your /boot change works
[07:33] <ahox> and that you really boot from the new /boot
[07:33] <paddymelon> magnetron: It's owned by root :(
[07:34] <Votan> yeh, I'll give it a try, thx ahox
[07:34] <paddymelon> Magnetron: I guess because the init.d script is the only thing that needs to access it...
[07:34] <magnetron> paddymelon: um what?
[07:34] <dborba> so - how do i kill a process when kill -9 doesnt work?
[07:35] <paddymelon> Magnetron: The owner of the apache2.conf file is root b/c the user who runs apache2 doesn't need to access the file... maybe I'll read through the init.d script
[07:36] <iuser> Thank God for Virtual Box, it makes Ubuntu and Xubuntu easier to install and use a wireless network
[07:36] <paddymelon> Anyone know which user runs apache2 by default?
[07:37] <slipttees> please help: http://pastebin.com/K66mfrER
[07:37] <dborba> paddymelon, ps aux | grep apache2
[07:37] <paddymelon> thanks, dborba!
[07:37] <iuser> Why don't all versions of Linux have a virtualbox hard drive image ready to download.  It would make Linux so readily available.
[07:38] <paddymelon> Thanks so much dborba, magnetron, got it setup and going now!
[07:39] <lucent> why would my IEEE1394B storage device only operate at 8.5MB/s ?
[07:39] <dborba> paddymelon, glad to help
[07:39] <dborba> well fellas - im out. seems only a reboot is getting me out of this jam
[07:40] <hcook> iuser: i'm guessing that nearly everybody who would find that useful can build such an image with minimal effort
[07:43] <slipttees> please; http://pastebin.com/K66mfrER
[07:43] <iuser> hcook, yeah it was easy for me as well, but it is time consuming and it would bring more people to Linux.
[07:52] <Ascavasaion> I have a bluetooth dongle in my laptop, it works because I can send and receive files from cellphones.  I am trying to use it to connect to my cellphone and use it as a modem.  I set up a connection through NetworkManager Applet but it does not show as an option when I want to connect.  I then created a rfcomm.conf file, and an /etc/ppp/bluetooth dialup file, and nothing.  rfcomm -a shows nothing.  there is no rfcomm entry in /dev ei
[07:52] <Ascavasaion> ther.  Any advice?
[07:52] <zruty> In Nautilus, how can I get the location bar to display something I cna copy-paste?
[07:54] <laidibug> zruty: press Control L
[07:54] <lucent> zruty: 'ctrl+L' is one way
[07:55] <lucent> um, wow.  there's an EXTRA PAIN option F3
[07:55] <lucent> oh, PANE, whatever.
[07:55] <zruty> lucent: laidibug: found it! Thanks!
[07:55] <lucent> "I need more pain, years of abusing myself on Microsoft made operating systems is not nearly enough!"
[07:56]  * lucent hits F3 in nautilus.
[07:57] <amin_> i want to add password to flashgot for specific link parameter how should i do that?
[07:57] <Ascavasaion> I have a bluetooth dongle in my laptop, it works because I can send and receive files from cellphones.  I am trying to use it to connect to my cellphone and use it as a modem.  I set up a connection through NetworkManager Applet but it does not show as an option when I want to connect.  I then created a rfcomm.conf file, and an /etc/ppp/bluetooth dialup file, and nothing.  rfcomm -a shows nothing.  there is no rfcomm entry in /dev ei
[07:57] <Ascavasaion> ther.  Any advice?
[07:58] <blakkheim> Ascavasaion: no need to repeat yourself so quickly, it doesn't make anyone want to help you more
[07:58] <Ascavasaion> blakkheim: No, but it makes me feel as if I am being proactive :)
[07:59] <lucent> for your reference, it's rude to do this when you're using IRC to communicate.
[07:59] <lucent> I don't take offense if you learn from the experience :)
[07:59] <Ascavasaion> lucent: huh?
[07:59] <blakkheim> don't do it, basically
[08:00] <Ascavasaion> Oh, no, it is okay, I am happt to continue thank you.
[08:00] <lucent> also, you'll have best luck to investigate what is available with the NetworkManager
[08:00] <slipttees> genisoimage: Uh oh, I cant find the boot catalog directory 'isolinux'!
[08:00] <slipttees> :-(
[08:00] <amin_> i want to add password to flashgot for specific link parameter how should i do that?
[08:01] <Ascavasaion> lucent: Um, problem is not there.  I think it is because Ubuntu never created a device in /dev for rfcomm
[08:01] <lucent> amin_: YOU PUT THOSE COOKIES DOWN
[08:01] <rww> lucent: umm?
[08:01] <jonrafkind> anyone know how to prevent ubuntu from creating so many tty's? i just want to create one, but since there is no /etc/inittab I don't know where to look
[08:01] <jonrafkind> there is /etc/init and some tty2.conf files, I moved them out of the way but the tty's are still created
[08:02] <amin_> lucent: what you mean could you explain?
[08:02] <lucent> jonrafkind: tty's are controlled by ...  to be honest I don't even know anymore with upstart
[08:02]  * lucent looks
[08:02] <jonrafkind> google told me to look in /etc/event.d, but i dont have an event.d directory
[08:02] <jonrafkind> so im completely lost
[08:03] <lucent> jonrafkind: you *should* have /etc/event.d
[08:03] <lucent> which distro?
[08:03] <jonrafkind> karmic, i installed in a UML instance using debootstrap
[08:04] <lucent> jonrafkind: oh okay that's possible it lacks event.d
[08:04] <jonrafkind> is event.d part of some package?
[08:04] <jonrafkind> maybe i can jut install it
[08:05] <jonrafkind> actually it seems that its UML itself thats creating the terminals, only terminal 1 actually has a tty in it
[08:05] <jonrafkind> the others are completely blank, because i erased all the other tty*.conf files
[08:06] <lucent> sounds like that's problem solved, at least not Ubuntu related anymore ;)
[08:06] <johnathan> morning guys and gals
[08:06] <pksadiq> johnathan, here it is noon
[08:06] <johnathan> k here it is morning so sorry
[08:07] <akmal> hi all
[08:07] <ralnaemi> Can I image an HD while the system is running?
[08:08] <lucent> ralnaemi: uh... are filesystems from the HD mounted?
[08:08] <FeBo> hey guys, can any1 help me- I upgraded to 10.10 few days ago and it worked flawlessly (including suspend, resume,...). But yesterday I closed laptop's lid and when it was reopened, the screen stayed blank. Event after reboot neither the grub shows- after EFI, there is just black screen. Any idea how to fix it? :-S
[08:08] <lucent> trouble is data changing while you're copying from it, this could render bad output
[08:08] <lucent> FeBo: wow.  does a liveCD boot?
[08:09] <FeBo> lucent: yup, so does the other os (mac)
[08:09] <lucent> FeBo: that's special.  Might be a bug with ubiquity (splash screen)
[08:09] <linuxrunner> Is there a way to get media players other than rhythmbox to appear in the Maverick sound menu?
[08:09] <nearst> hi
[08:09] <lucent> try 'nosplash' on the grub command line to kernel argument
[08:09] <lucent> if you don't know how to do that, well, do you know what I am talking about?
[08:09] <FeBo> lucent: I don't see grub :-D neither shift doesn't help
[08:10] <lucent> oh.
[08:10] <lucent> FeBo: maybe your bootloader is just hosed
[08:10] <FeBo> does grub check for suspend data before showing? I'm thinking suspend went wrong and it leaved some crap on HDD...any idea if there are any suspend files?
[08:10] <lucent> Grub would have to actually run and it would show you something on the screen before that
[08:10] <lucent> even if it's just a quick little line "press key for Grub menu"
[08:11] <FeBo> ok, bootCD, chroot, grub :-)
[08:11] <lucent> yup yup.   Good guess though
[08:11] <lucent> suspend data is actually passed as a kernel argument
[08:11] <lucent> not wholly accurate what I just said but that's the idea, it has to run Grub to get there first
[08:12] <nearst> hi people
[08:12] <FeBo> aha, OK...well, rebooting into live, tnx :)
[08:15] <jonrafkind> lucent, ah, /etc/default/console-setup, ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6]"
[08:15] <jonrafkind> yay, a winner is me!
[08:16] <lucent> jonrafkind: hey, neat. thanks
[08:16] <lucent> glad you found it
[08:16] <jonrafkind> yea, good ol' grep

[08:19] <UbuntuNoob> long story short i need to edit grub to boot how to i permanently change the grub
[08:20] <llutz_> UbuntuNoob: edit /etc/default/grub
[08:20] <UbuntuNoob> thank you
[08:21] <lucent> UbuntuNoob: note that after editing you'll want to run update-grub
[08:21] <lucent> sudo update-grub
[08:21] <coafcv> Nautilus' folder view doesn't update automatically when new files are placed in the viewed directory (I always have to refresh manually). how can I enable that again?
[08:23] <UbuntuNoob> if i typed in my password incorrectly when setting the sudo password how can i reset it
[08:23] <mesees> random issue - web embedded video will not go full screen....any ideas?

[08:29] <Ascavasaion> I have a bluetooth dongle in my laptop, it works because I can send and receive files from cellphones.  I am trying to use it to connect to my cellphone and use it as a modem.

[08:29] <Ascavasaion> ther.  Any advice?
[08:32] <pksadiq> Ascavasaion use wvdial
[08:34] <llutz_> Ascavasaion: sdptool browse <bt-mac-of-your-cellphone>   to find what Channel DialUp is
[08:34] <mahsa> hi body
[08:35] <Ascavasaion> llutz: I have done that.. got the Mac Address and the channel... entered them into rfcomm.conf and then ran rfcomm bind all and nothing.
[08:35] <llutz_> Ascavasaion: sudo rfcomm bind 0 <bt-mac-of-your-cellphone> <channel>
[08:35] <pksadiq> Ascavasaion or alternatively you acn use blueman-manager for GUI
[08:40] <coafcv> Nautilus' folder view doesn't update automatically when new files are placed in the viewed directory (I always have to refresh manually). how can I enable that again?
[08:41] <lucent> related to inotify maybe
[08:41] <lucent> are you using a stock setup or is it modified with custom kernel i.e.
[08:42] <mesees> anyone have a link for moving mix,max,close back to the right side
[08:42] <lucent> mesees: use gconf-editor
[08:42] <Ascavasaion> thanks llutz and pksadiq
[08:43] <rww> !controls | mesees
[08:43] <lucent> mesees: path in gconf is apps/metacity/general and the key name is 'button_layout'
[08:43] <coafcv> lucent: no, stock setup
[08:43] <lucent> mesees: I suggest trying my favourite:   minimize,menu:close
[08:43] <coafcv> lucent: what's inotify?
[08:44] <lucent> "maximize" is something I use infrequently as I have double-click set to trigger a window shade
[08:44] <momentum> how do I do a text mode ubuntu install?
[08:44] <oskude> hmm, i wonder why the topic recommeds pastebin.com, when it adds \r\n as new lines to the texts... (ive seen things break on linux cause of that, when used in some config files)
[08:44] <lucent> coafcv: I am guessing that inotify is a kernel mechanism for notification of file accesses
[08:44] <coafcv> lucent: I had a recent kernel update, but haven't restarted yet. could this be the reason?
[08:45] <lucent> coafcv: unlikely, but if you updated recently there may be other things that get confused
[08:45] <mesees> lucent, perfect! thanks
[08:45] <lucent> mesees: I'm a fan of windowmaker
[08:46] <rww> oskude: because http://paste.ubuntu.com/ had issues for a while. I'll go poke the relevant people to change it back.
[08:46] <lucent> windowmaker border button placement is my favourite and I think this is pretty close approximation with my metacity settings in gconf
[08:46] <mesees> lucent, do explain
[08:46] <oskude> rww: oh, nice!
[08:47] <lucent> mesees: windowmaker had simply "App Menu" on the left and "Close" button on the right, but you could left click the App Menu button for minimize, or Right click the App Menu for more options... if I'm remembering right
[08:48] <lucent> it was simple and I liked that it was easy to use when I had been drinking heavily ;)
[08:51] <nailora> how can i check in a shell script if some package is installed
[08:51] <lucent> nailora: I would use dpkg
[08:51] <lucent> dpkg -l is a list of package statuses
[08:52] <mesees> man, missing MTGO may make me switch back...what give with no linux magic
[08:52] <nailora> lucent: and then pipe it to grep? because i want to put it into an if statement
[08:52] <lucent> nailora: you could wrap with $()
[08:52] <_alex__> äîáðîå óòðî
[08:52] <lucent> or set an env variable, then test the variable
[08:53] <lucent> nailora: trouble is going to be if a package containes the name of your package that is not your package
[08:53] <lucent> i.e.  you want to know if FOO is installed, but there exists FOO and TAFOOI packages
[08:53] <lucent> this requires some awk magic I'm not aware how to di t
[08:54] <lucent> how to do it*
[08:54] <nailora> lucent: i think "dpkg -l" only lists direct hits
[08:54] <lucent> oh! you're right about that
[08:55] <llutz_> nailora: apt-cache policy package |grep -i Inst

[09:03] <Sad_Dude> okok LOL

[09:04] <Exploiter_> compiz --replace
[09:05] <pksadiq> manfredrasta ,  type arch in terminal, you can see
[09:05] <llutz_> !pm > Sad_Dude

[09:08] <manfredrasta> pksadiq, can i fix this?
[09:10] <pksadiq> manfresrasta try installing the file  install_flash_player_10_linux from the adobe site
[09:10] <pksadiq> manfredrasta try installing the file  install_flash_player_10_linux from the adobe site
[09:10] <manfredrasta> pksadiq, i did it allready but il re do it. Is that one better than the one in synaptics?¿
[09:10] <cromestant> hello, i'm trying to setup the iptables rules for my server, and all seems ok except for the vsftpd part, I added the --dport 21 and it authenticates correctly but does not continue (list etc). I tried changing the policy to accept instead of drop and it all works, so it is an iptables problem, I googled and got to the IP_CONNTRACK modiule but get a FATAL: Module ip_conntrack_ftp not found. when I try to modprobe it. any idea
[09:11] <ddilinger> trying to install lucid with the boot.img.gz from i386 hard disk installer zcat'd onto a thumb drive, with the desktop iso copied on as well.  When searching for the iso the installer fails.  Inspection of /var/log/syslog says the loop module was not found, i can confirm the loop module is not on the system.  `mount -o loop /hd-media/ubuntu.iso /media`  is fine though so loop is builtinto the kernel(loop is not in lsmod)
[09:11] <ddilinger> cromestant: you need a special module for ftp, because it uses more ports
[09:12] <cromestant> ddilinger yes I read its the ip_conntrack but I also read its supposed to be on by default ( i'm on 10.4 lts)
[09:12] <manfredrasta> pksadiq, or i can install them from synaptics?
[09:12] <cromestant> lsmod |grep conntrack lists nothing
[09:12] <llutz_> ddilinger: you'll need to set a symlink from the iso to /dev/dvd iirc to let the installer find the iso
[09:13] <pksadiq> manfresrasta http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[09:13] <ddilinger> llutz_: ok, going to try that thanks
[09:13] <cromestant> ddilinger actually lsmod lists nothing at all :S now i'm lost...
[09:13] <pksadiq> manfredrasta http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[09:13] <sda1986> is there any program can tell me what botton I press?
[09:14] <llutz_> sda1986: xev
[09:14] <oskude> rww: right, with paste.ubuntu.com you need launchpad account to even get the plain text...
[09:14] <manfredrasta> pksadiq, ok
[09:15] <ddilinger> llutz_: doesn't do anything, still says scanning hard drives /dev/sda(unformated disk), /dev/sdb(thumb w/iso), then errors out during sdb.  The error in syslog is 'FATAL: module loop not found'
[09:15] <manfredrasta> wich version? YUM, APT, tar.gz, rpm, .dev or APT?
[09:16] <manfredrasta> pksadiq, wich version? YUM, APT, tar.gz, rpm, .dev or APT?
[09:17] <llutz_> ddilinger: seems to be something differen then, sorry no idea
[09:17] <pksadiq> manfredrasta .deb for ubuntu 8.04+
[09:17] <pksadiq> manfredrasta wait, which vrsion Do you use?
[09:18] <ddilinger> cromestant: there is also a module nf_nat_ftp
[09:18] <ddilinger> cromestant: although may not be necessary since thats for nat
[09:18] <manfredrasta> pksadiq, lubuntu 10.04
[09:18] <cromestant> ddilinger yes but I try modprobing them and I get always the same error there must be something i'm doing wrong with this
[09:19] <pksadiq> manfredrasta I think better to use APT
[09:20] <manfredrasta> pksadiq, OK
[09:20] <momentum> usb creator keeps on freezing up; is there anyway to stress test my usb drive?

[09:24] <kwakwa> aha. thanks for your help
[09:25] <kwakwa> You know that I am Polish but I can with English.
[09:25] <pksadiq> !polish
[09:25] <manfredrasta> pksadiq, when i click to download the apt version it opens a window saying: "Chromium needs to launch an external application to handdle apt:links. the link requested is adobe-flash-plug in. If you accept the request, the application xdg open apt:adobe-flashplugin?channel=?distro-partner"
[09:26] <kwakwa> yes
[09:26] <kwakwa> polish
[09:26] <manfredrasta> pksadiq, "...if you did not initite this request..."
[09:27] <pksadiq> manfredrasta select ok , and again select ok for the next question and give your ubuntu user password
[09:27] <kwakwa> funny, huh?
[09:27] <pksadiq> kwakwa , If You feel So
[09:27] <kwakwa> yes
[09:28] <momentum> is there a minimal ubuntu distro I can put on a usb that'll let me fetch the rest of the pckages via the intertubes?
[09:28] <manfredrasta> pksadiq, if i click ok it opens me the ubuntuforums
[09:28] <manfredrasta> pksadiq, why?
[09:28] <dio525i> toall > i'm having trouble setting up external monitor on macbook (3.1) tried many things and have created a xorg.conf on 10.04 and tried a few configurations but nothing seems to work tried an xinerama walkthrough from ubuntuforum but no dice....right now there is output to my television however it seems to not be aligned correctly and is only in black and white
[09:29] <rww> momentum: there's a minimal ISO ( see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD ) but I don't know how you'd get it on a USB.
[09:29] <kwakwa> I do not have ubuntu but I have windows. He wants to go to ubuntu, and why we aske
[09:29] <momentum> rww: that's good enogh i'll use usb-creator
[09:29] <pksadiq> manfresrasta , I think You are not using Firefox, any way If you are not using firefox, Select deb for 8.04+ which directly installs the package
[09:29] <rww> momentum: I'm not sure that USB creator supports it, but it's worth a try I guess
[09:29] <genkie> ciao
[09:30] <manfredrasta> pksadiq, im not using firefox
[09:30] <momentum> i feel usb creator is just:
[09:30] <manfredrasta> pksadiq, im using chrome
[09:30] <cromestant> here, http://pastie.org/1200280 why is it I can 't modprobe any iptables modules?
[09:30] <momentum> take an iso, make it boot on usb

[09:30] <kwakwa> Polak is anyone here like so, let them resumes in Polish
[09:31] <pksadiq> manfredrasta, But the flash plugin is mostely intented to be used with mozilla family, which best fits with firefox, I don't know about Chrome,
[09:31] <Votan> you dont need no flash plugin if you use chrome as it has flash builtin
[09:32] <manfredrasta> Votan, but if i dont install it, when i open a video from youtube it says that i need the flasplayer plugin last version
[09:32] <pksadiq> manfredrasta Follo Votan
[09:32] <pksadiq> follow*
[09:33] <manfredrasta> Votan, so i installed it. and now at least i can see the images, but very slow
[09:33] <JackNocturne> hi everybody, nautilus wont start after upgrade to 10.10 rc , xsession-errors > http://pastebin.com/PTjK4Wa8
[09:33] <JackNocturne> any ideas?
[09:33] <Votan> manfredrasta are you using the dev channel build ?
[09:33] <manfredrasta> Votan, whwat does it mean? sorry im new
[09:34] <tuxifier> manfredrasta: votian's right. have you tried re-installing chrome?
[09:34] <Votan> manfredrasta when you installed chrome it probably asked you what channel you want, stable, beta or dev
[09:34] <manfredrasta> Votan, do you mean if im downloading the .dev?
[09:34] <Exploiter_> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[09:34] <Exploiter_> try this
[09:35] <manfredrasta> vota, tuxifier Exploiter_ : i didnt install chrome, it just came with lubuntu installation
[09:35] <Exploiter_> just run the command i gave you..
[09:35] <manfredrasta> vota, tuxifier Exploiter_ : i try Exploiter_ command
[09:35] <Votan> well manfredrasta then either use Exploiter_ 'S command, or google for google chrome dev channel and install that .deb
[09:36] <Exploiter_> close and reopen your firefox of chrome
[09:36] <manfredrasta> Exploiter_, i think i run the command yesterday, but ill retry
[09:36] <Exploiter_> let me know if it work or not
[09:37] <tuxifier> manfredrasta: are you talking about chrome of firefox or google chrome which is chromium for linux?
[09:37] <ddilinger> anyone use aria2c?  I'm using it to d/l the ubuntu iso and its slowly been climing from 300k/s up to now 830k/s.  Started with just 10 seeds and slowly grew to 70 now(i put max peers at 100 on command line).  Its taken almost 10 minutes to get from 300 to 800, how can i get that to get to the better speeds faster in the future?
[09:37] <manfredrasta> Exploiter_, http://pastebin.com/SdEpeWkx
[09:37] <ddilinger> with bit torrent in aria2c, btw
[09:37] <magnetron> ddilinger: where did you find the torrent?
[09:37] <ddilinger> magnetron: ubuntu.com
[09:37] <manfredrasta> Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ : i use Chrommium web browser
[09:37] <ddilinger> magnetron: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#bt
[09:38] <Votan> aaah, chromium does not come bundled with flash so u need to run Exploiter_ s command
[09:38] <tuxifier> sudo apt-get install --reinstall chromium-browser
[09:38] <magnetron> ddilinger: i see. what is your internet connection speed?
[09:38] <ddilinger> magnetron: 20Mbit
[09:38] <ddilinger> magnetron: so it should go up to >2MB, sabnzbd will do 1-2MB/s depending on how happy comcast is
[09:39] <manfredrasta> Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ : i run Exploiter_ command, should i reboot system?
[09:39] <magnetron> ddilinger: wait, comcast? you know they throttle bittorrent?
[09:39] <Votan> manfredrasta
[09:39] <Votan> nah
[09:39] <ddilinger> magnetron: but the max speed isn't what i'm so worried about, it annoys me that it climbs so slowly, like its slowly choosing connections
[09:39] <ddilinger> magnetron: hence why i use sabnzbd
[09:39] <Exploiter_> its not windows..
[09:39] <Votan> just relaunch the browser after u isntalled the nonfree plugin
[09:40] <manfredrasta> Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ :is the same
[09:40] <Exploiter_> relauch chrome, also try open youtube with other webbrowser..
[09:40] <ddilinger> magnetron: took 10 minutes to go from 10 peers to 80
[09:40] <ddilinger> magnetron: should take 1 minute
[09:40] <magnetron> ddilinger: since your ISP throttles bittorrent i suggest you download using the HTTP link instead
[09:40] <manfredrasta> Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ :dont have other webbrowser
[09:40] <ddilinger> magnetron: when already getting 850k/s ?
[09:40] <Votan> manfredrasta then purge chromium and get the dev channel chrome
[09:40] <magnetron> ddilinger: yes
[09:40] <manfredrasta> Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ : sudo apt-get install --reinstall chromium-browser??
[09:40] <Exploiter_> sudo apt-get install firefox
[09:40] <Votan> that one ships with flash builtin and works out of the box
[09:40] <magnetron> ddilinger: your ISP is deliberately doing this to you
[09:40] <ddilinger> magnetron: awfully silly, comcast with non-parallel http is 100k/s
[09:41] <ddilinger> magnetron: you have to split the connection to get 2MB/s on http
[09:41] <ddilinger> err, split the download across multiple http connections
[09:41] <rww> I note that my Comcast connection doesn't have throttled bittorrent. Huzzah for inconsistant application of policy.
[09:41] <genkie> !list
[09:41] <magnetron> ddilinger: try rtorrent and see if you get any different result
[09:42] <funkyweasel> I've got a problem with OpenOffice 3.2 constantly crashing on Ubuntu 10.04.  I've tried removing and reinstalling java and open office, installing the oracle version to no avail.
[09:42] <manfredrasta> Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ : so should I install firefox or purge chromium?
[09:42] <funkyweasel> Can anyone help?
[09:42] <Exploiter_> firefox recommended
[09:42] <Votan> manfredrasta up to you, either use firefox with the nonfree plugin or get chrome with flash builtin
[09:42] <tuxifier> both, if you don' have any other browser than chrome.
[09:43] <Votan> tuxifier he has chromium, not chrome, therefor no flash plugin that comes with the browser
[09:43] <Exploiter_> funkyweasel: open openoffice with terminal and paste error here when you office crashes from terminal
[09:44] <funkyweasel> exploiter_: Good call - sadly it should be easy to replicate.  Nothing in syslog.
[09:44] <rick_> hi... i have installed ubuntu 10.10 and the max resolution that i can select is 1360x768.. is there a way i can make it 1280x1024?
[09:44] <manfredrasta> Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ : shoould reboot after installation o firefox?
[09:44] <rick_> previously when i was on windows.. i was on that resolution.. :P
[09:44] <magnetron> rick_: the ubuntu 10.10 release candidate is supported in #ubuntu+1
[09:45] <pksadiq> funkyweasel open soffice with terminal to see the related logs direct in terminal
[09:45] <Exploiter_> rick_: make sure you install your graphic card driver
[09:45] <Votan> manfredrasta u almsot enver need to reboot in linux
[09:45] <Votan> never*
[09:45] <Votan> just start firefox and see how it works manfredrasta
[09:45] <manfredrasta> Votan, so? how do i star firefox?
[09:45] <Exploiter_> applications>internet>firefox
[09:45] <Exploiter_> :|
[09:45] <rick_> well.. im using an onboard graphics..
[09:45] <tuxifier> votan/manfredrasta, chrome doesn't  support flash for lubuntu. see: http://maketecheasier.com/enable-flash-support-in-google-chrome-in-ubuntu/2009/08/19
[09:46] <Exploiter_> rick: just install the graphic driver.
[09:46] <sda1986> MappingNotify event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x0,    request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 248, I have to change this event how can I?
[09:46] <Exploiter_> and google for editing xorg / x11 file for resolution
[09:46] <magnetron> !maverick | Exploiter_ rick_
[09:46] <manfredrasta> Exploiter_, i dont have applications
[09:46] <Votan> tuxifier that post is over a year old ;)
[09:46] <funkyweasel> pksadiq: I don't think that's going to work - using oocalc, ooffice -calc, or soffice at the prompt opens the app but also returns a prompt ready for input - doesn't look like it'll output errors to the command line
[09:47] <pksadiq> funkyweasel :(
[09:47] <spuhkewzi> i remember several years ago i saw a friend using linux that would switch between workspaces using a 3dimensional cube that displayed what was on each workspace.  anyone know a way to obtain that in gnome if at all?
[09:47] <rick_> Exploiter_, how do i see if the driver is auto detected ?
[09:48] <ddilinger> spuhkewzi: compiz is one, there are a dozen
[09:48] <Votan> tuxifier as a matter of fact i run the chrome dev channel right ehre on my netbook an can watch youtube, vimeo etc jsut fine without any additional flash plugin installed
[09:48] <Exploiter_> system>administration>hardware drivers
[09:48] <ddilinger> spuhkewzi: i think gnome has one built in, either gnome or kde, probably both
[09:48] <xxfog> Hi folks ;-)
[09:48] <spuhkewzi> ddilinger: compiz seems to be installed with 10.04, but running "compiz" doesn't seem to bring a configuration menu up, do you know of a  way?
[09:48] <spuhkewzi> i should probably start googling at this point, thanks ddilinger
[09:49] <izua> hey, is there a pdf viewer that allows more than 400% zoom?
[09:49] <magnetron> !ccsm | spuhkewzi
[09:49] <ddilinger> spuhkewzi: i think compiz is a window manager, selected when you log in, but yea google :)
[09:49] <rick_> Exploiter_, there is additional drivers.. says none others installed
[09:49] <Exploiter_> spudkewzi, you need to install compix setting manager to few its settings
[09:49] <spuhkewzi> thanks ubottu , thanks guys.
[09:49] <Exploiter_> rick: install then all
[09:50] <funkyweasel> pksadiq: It's ironic - OOo is completely stable on my windows box at home, but is the flakiest piece of crap I have used on my 10.04 box at work.
[09:50] <ianseventh> tes
[09:51] <pksadiq> funkyweasel I'm using it now with no problems, may be you haven't installed java or you might have used force-install somewhere
[09:54] <funkyweasel> pksadiq: No force-install anywhere, java version "1.6.0_18" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.8) (6b18-1.8-0ubuntu1), OpenJDK Client VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)
[09:54] <tuxifier> votan: my humble experience tells me that the new chromium already has the flash. but that's just me :) so how's it going manfredrasta?
[09:54] <funkyweasel> pksadiq: Also tried the often-recommended OOo profile reset
[09:54] <thevishy> my laptop powered off while doing a standard upgrade
[09:54] <manfredrasta> Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ : i rebooted an opened firefox
[09:55] <thevishy> and now it doesnt come up , only allows me to go to maitenance shell , is there any fix from the maitenance shell
[09:56] <manfredrasta> Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ : but it is the same problem. I have a question. I installed the non-free dfrivers before installing firefox. Shouldnt i install them after?
[09:56] <marko_> hi
[09:57] <funkyweasel> Stupid though it sounds, is there a 'right' java package to use with OOo?
[09:57] <coz_> funkyweasel,  I personally like sun java but I rarely use openoffice
[09:57] <thevishy> anyone can tell me how to fix if my computer powered off during upgrade ?
[09:57] <thevishy> is there a dpkg command
[09:58] <thevishy> to check consistency and repair etc
[09:58] <funkyweasel> coz_ What do you use in it's place?
[09:58] <tuxifier> manfredrasta: firefox doesn't have flash pre-installed. you have to go to adobe.com to download and install it within firefox.
[09:58] <coz_> thevishy,   try  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
[09:58] <magnetron> thevishy: is there a dpkg error message?
[09:58] <coz_> funkyHat,   koffice
[09:58] <coz_> funkyHat,  and abbiword
[09:58] <thevishy> no , but the boot says it cant find /
[09:58] <coz_> funkyHat, abbywork converts to ms office doc  cleanly
[09:58] <coz_> funkyHat,  openoffice does not
[09:59] <thevishy> magnetron , all this happened when I was doing a upgrade and the laptop power went off
[09:59] <funkyweasel> coz: Outstanding.  I will give it a try.
[09:59] <magnetron> thevishy: yes
[09:59] <magnetron> thevishy: my question still stands
[09:59] <thevishy> ever since I am not able to login , it just says that it cant find /
[09:59] <thevishy> and takes me to maintainance shell
[09:59] <coz_> funkyHat,  however if you install koffice onto ubuntu you will also pull down many kde libraries and dependencies
[10:00] <thevishy> magnetron , so I suspect it has something to do with this upgrade getting broken , fsck showed its clean actually
[10:00] <coz_> funkyHat,   I do this regularly now and really enjoy some kde applications on gonme  ...you can also match the colours of your gnome theme with the kde applications if you also install     systemsettings
[10:00] <thevishy> hence I am looking for a command to check the package consistency and if there are problems then just check it and repair it by itself
[10:00] <magnetron> thevishy: try mounting the root partition from the maintenance shell
[10:00] <sda1986> hi all, i have an asus f3jp with 05e1:0501 Syntek Semiconductor Co., Ltd DC-1125 Webcam, on ubuntu the quality is lower than windows, and a led one time it turns on never turns off until i turnoff\reboot my pc. Can you help me?
[10:00] <dio525i> white macbook (3.1) ubuntu 10.04 trying dual monitor to tv tried creating an xorg.conf file / xinerama / xrandr config options / reinstall with monitor plugged in during install the only thing i get is a black and white mis-aligned jittery image on my tv .... am i encountering 3year old bug mentioned on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/116207 do i give up hope and go to sleep a
[10:00] <dio525i> t 5am!!!!! thank you : )
[10:00] <iTroll> hey guys, any recommendations for a versioning backup tool in the repos?  Basically I want incremental/versioned backups from my webserver over ftp
[10:01] <manfredrasta> Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ :i have to leave. thanks for all. see you
[10:01] <funkyweasel> coz_ Definitely not koffice - I removed Amarok for that reason.  Abiword's only a word processor sadly - I need spreadsheets as well sadly.
[10:01] <thevishy> how do I do that magnetron
[10:01] <coz_> funkyHat,  ah ok ... I dont kind the kde libraries as I used to
[10:01] <ddilinger> iTroll: svn, git, mercurial, although none are specifically designed for websites they can handle the task
[10:01] <coz_> funkyHat,  i meant I dont "mind"  the kde libraries
[10:01] <ddilinger> iTroll: graphics in them will be a bit of bloat though
[10:02] <funkyweasel> coz_ It's a bit much overhead for my relatively weak work laptop, and Amarok has become disappointingly bloated in the last release
[10:02] <sedulous> git is more disk space efficient than mercurial
[10:02] <iTroll> ddilinger: yea I use git at work, but i dont really want to manage using it as a backup tool, I was thinking of backup-manager, which sounds quite good
[10:02] <sedulous> (generally, in my experience)
[10:03] <coz_> funkyHat, I have found amarok to be a bit of a hog   so I never use it  but most of the other kde applications seems fine
[10:04] <thevishy> magnetron , how do I do that ?> currently the maitenance shell mounts something thats read only
[10:04] <funkyweasel> Does anyone have an opinion or experience with Gnumeric?
[10:04] <lucent> I use Gnumeric on my cell phone
[10:04] <ddilinger> thevishy: mount -o remount,rw /path
[10:05] <coz_> funkyHat,  I have not used it  let me googl that one :)
[10:05] <lucent> it's the only spreadsheet program that will run for me
[10:05] <magnetron> thevishy: yes you need to mount the regular root filesystem, not the maintenance one
[10:05] <thevishy> fine , how do I mount it ?
[10:05] <lucent> funkyweasel: Gnumeric developers are stubborn about rounding errors, so you may find in some uses that the output is not the same as other programs like OO or Excel
[10:05] <magnetron> thevishy: impossible for me to say, all depends on your setup
[10:06] <thevishy> its just a laptop ... it has /dev/sda1
[10:06] <Hydrozii> how do i copy something from downloads to usr/lib as root?
[10:06] <llutz> Hydrozii: sudo cp downloads/something /usr/lib/
[10:06] <coz_> funkyHat,  I am going to guess that gnumeric is less intrusive I will install it after my current downloads are finished
[10:07] <Unirgy> hi, is there a ncurses diff tool?
[10:07] <Hydrozii> thanks
[10:07] <Oldrie> Okay, So I am using DreamLinux. It is debian based as is ubuntu so maybe someone can help me. How do I change the default icons for file types. For example *.mp3, *.pdf, etc.
[10:08] <Hydrozii> what is the command to open my file manager as root?
[10:08] <lucent> Oldrie: I have an apple, so maybe because you have tried an orange and they are both growing in trees, can you tell me what an apple is like
[10:08] <coz_> Hydrozii, gksudo nautilus
[10:08] <magnetron> Oldrie: we will not give support to non-ubuntu distros. ask in the dreamlinux forum/website/irc
[10:08] <lucent> ha
[10:08] <pksadiq> Hydrozzii sudo nautilus .
[10:08] <Hydrozii> what is the file manager in xubuntu?
[10:08] <coz_> pcman
[10:08] <Hydrozii> really pcman?
[10:09] <coz_> Hydrozii,   I believe so
[10:09] <coz_> Hydrozii,   try  sudo pcman
[10:09] <Hydrozii> no its not
[10:09] <rww> Hydrozii: thunar
[10:09] <Hydrozii> ill look it up
[10:09] <Oldrie> Okay, Well I have an Ubuntu box as well. How can I change the default icons for file types on that?
[10:09] <Hydrozii> thunar
[10:10] <lucent> Oldrie: which release?
[10:10] <Oldrie> 10.04.1
[10:11] <lucent> oh see, what kernel version is that
[10:11] <Oldrie> I don't know the kernel version. How do I check?
[10:11] <coz_> 2.6.32-25-generic
[10:12] <coz_> Oldrie, in terminal   uname -r
[10:12] <funkyweasel> lucent  - good to know.  Atm I am just using it for simple testing result tables. :)
[10:13] <lucent> funkyweasel: I would use OpenOffice if that is possible
[10:13] <lucent> OpenOffice on my phone would be too much though
[10:13] <funkyweasel> lucent: It just isn't possible.  It's the buggiest piece of rubbish I've used when ran on 10.04 that reliably crashes at least once an hour - works like a charm on Windows 7.
[10:13] <ysk> i have themes installed but why cant i get the login screen according to themes with effects? why the login menu is plane
[10:13] <pksadiq> lucent Phone?!!!! which?
[10:14] <Oldrie> I have to start up my ubuntu box 1 sec.
[10:14] <lucent> ah, I use a Nokia N900
[10:14] <lucent> that's a bit off topic then
[10:14] <coz_> ysk,  you want to change the login theme?
[10:14] <ysk> yeah
[10:14] <pksadiq> lucent , Wow I love to have one such meamo
[10:14] <funkyweasel> lucent: I've got java installed, tried resetting OOo profile, completely removing and reinstalling the Oracle version - no effect.  Buggy and rubbish with absolutely no logging of why it crashes.  Unless anyone has any insight my patience has expired with it in 10.04.
[10:15] <pksadiq> ysk if you are using Ubuntu install kdm which is nicer
[10:15] <lucent> funkyweasel: sounds like your particular setup. No stability issues here
[10:15] <Oldrie> 2.6.32-24
[10:16] <ysk> i have downloaded themes but the login screen is same in everyone i have ubuntu tweaks installed but i can change the wallpaperpaper but i cant see the effective screen of login menu
[10:16] <coz_> ysk,  ok   well it is a bit strange to do but if you run this command    gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties    it will open up the appearance properties but as root ...so choose a theme as if you were chaning the system theme... it will not effect the actual system theme... then  reboot
[10:16] <funkyweasel> lucent: Good for you ;) But with no other evidence of why it misbehaves and no help forthcoming I'll stick with my diagnosis - unstable and unfit for purpose.
[10:16] <prayii> funkyweasel: what are you trying to do in OpenOffice?
[10:16] <coz_> ysk,  no  the gdm themes no longer work
[10:16] <funkyweasel> prayii: Use Calc for more than 30 minutes without it mysteriously crashing with no error message or log entries I can find.
[10:16] <ysk> why they no longer work?
[10:17] <thevishy> magnetron : is maitainance shell loaded from root filefilesystem ?
[10:17] <Exploiter_> ysk: you want to change the login screen?
[10:17] <coz_> ysk,  well ... it was changed  a while ago... now you have to change the theme via appearance properties as root...
[10:17] <ysk> not the login wallpaper that can be done by ubuntu tweaks the login menu window
[10:18] <coz_> ysk, but you are not going to get any fancy login screens now
[10:18] <Oldrie> The kernal it says I am using is 2.6.32-24
[10:18] <Exploiter_> ysk: which ubuntu you have?
[10:18] <ysk> oll rite that was my question
[10:18] <prayii> never have liked OpenOffice..
[10:18] <coz_> ysk,  they will all be flat  and  and rather plain
[10:18] <ysk> 10.04 x8x64
[10:18] <venky10> ysk: think you have lucid
[10:18] <lucent> coz_: sounds like the ... nevermind
[10:19]  * lucent hides in his cave
[10:19] <ysk> it is lucid
[10:19] <coz_> well chaning the login theme is a bit grungy  in my opinion   now that things have changed
[10:19] <ysk> orrite
[10:20] <coz_> ysk,   I generally bypass the login and login automatically
[10:20] <ysk> another problem i can use mic i have tried alot it works in windows but cant use in ubuntu whenever i try to record something and play it the sound comes like tv signals noise when there is no signal
[10:20] <vijay_> Hello, how can I change to the path of the first result of a command from the shell?
[10:20] <lucent> vijay_: confused about your question
[10:20] <vijay_> for example
[10:20] <vijay_> if i run locate on a file
[10:20] <vijay_> and the output is
[10:20] <vijay_>   /usr/share/test/test.doc
[10:20] <vijay_>   /etc/test.doc
[10:20] <FloodBot2> vijay_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:20] <vijay_>
[10:21] <lucent> that was easy.
[10:21] <coz_> ysk,   open a terminal   type   alsamixer   make sure none of the sliders are muted or turned down
[10:21] <Exploiter_> nick Exploiter
[10:21] <bruteforce_allti> I think I have modified my source list. How to restore it.
[10:21] <bruteforce_allti> I have sudoed edit etc/apt/sources.list
[10:22] <Exploiter> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:22] <ysk> done let me check
[10:22] <vijay_> for example, if i run locate on a file and the output is:   /usr/share/test/test.doc,  /etc/test.doc
[10:22] <vijay_> and if I want to change my directory to the first path how do I do that?
[10:22] <MooshiMuushi> Hey everyone :D
[10:22] <vijay_> i tried piping to cd: e.g command | cd , but that didn't work
[10:22] <rockhopper> !hi | MooshiMuushi
[10:22] <lucent> vijay_: check out the 'dirname' directive
[10:23] <lucent> 'help dirname' in bash
[10:23] <MooshiMuushi> ?
[10:23] <pksadiq> while Googling for 3D desktop effects I can across 3D desktop with Glasses shich gives us real 3D FX, Have anybody tesed this ?
[10:23] <billy> vijay_: try copy & paste
[10:23] <lucent> vijay_: my bad I told you bad info, it's actually 'man dirname'
[10:23] <coz_> funkyweasel,  I am installing gnumeric now
[10:23] <vijay_> yes i do do copy and paste, but i was wondering there must be a unix way of doing it (i.e. no mouse)
[10:23] <Daniel_WMDE> hi all. i'm on ubuntu 10.4, and somehow broke my gnome config.
[10:23] <coz_> vijay_,  copy and paste from what to where?
[10:23] <Daniel_WMDE> the appearance is completely off, i'm stuck with fugly controls/windows
[10:23] <Daniel_WMDE> chanmging stuff in the appearance dialog only changes that window, not others. and also only temporarily.
[10:24] <Daniel_WMDE> even gdm looks boxy and clumky now.
[10:24] <billy> vijay_: scared of a little mouse?
[10:24] <Daniel_WMDE> what can be the problem? how do i find out?
[10:24] <thevishy> magnetron : i notice that my root FS - /dev/sda1 is loaded read only
[10:24] <thevishy> thats where my os is installed and a simple fsck gives its clean
[10:24] <ysk> done not working do u want me to send my recorded voice so u can understand whats happening when i record and i cant mic in other applications
[10:24] <funkyweasel> coz_: Already working on it.  It's very basic, but it'll do for what I need.  And, as an added bonus, it's NOT crashed yet.
[10:24] <coz_> funkyweasel,  :)
[10:24] <vijay_> :P no, it's just I have to keep moving hand to mouse and waste valuable time especially if you had to do it a gazillion times
[10:25] <billy> vijay_: it's the 21st century - the cli is for trogladites
[10:25] <Waldir> Hi there. I need to install OpenCV. Should I use the Gijs Molenaar packages mentioned in the OpenCV wiki ( http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/Ubuntu_Packages ) or the libcv4 ones mentioned on the Ubuntu wiki ( http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libcv4 )?
[10:25] <ysk> funky temme bro
[10:25] <lucent> thevishy: you probably have a stale mount tab
[10:26] <lucent> thevishy: compare the output of 'cat /proc/mounts' versus the contents of /etc/mtab
[10:26] <vijay_> billy: true, UI is useful for discovery and execution of simple tasks, but is not as efficient when repetitive actions are required
[10:26] <thevishy> lucent : meaning ? i was upgrading my system and power went off - now I am having a botched system which cant seem to mount / ... howerver in maitaiance shell I am seeing my root only
[10:26] <ysk> lucent mate i have a problem with mic
[10:26] <vijay_> and i am stuck on ssh terminal :)
[10:26] <safl> Hey people! How do I change color depth? I have tried producing an xorg.conf with Xorg -configure and place it in /etc/X11/ but even though i remove all but one colordepth then 32bpp is allways chosen.
[10:26] <lucent> ysk: buy the mick a drink, should ease your problem
[10:27] <coz_> funkyweasel,  I still think you might koffice
[10:27] <ysk> common mate
[10:27] <coz_> funkyweasel,  kspread is not basic
[10:27] <funkyweasel> coz_ Tempting, but I'd rather avoid the overhead of running KDE libs on this box.
[10:28] <lucent> thevishy: I'm guessing your system is just plain hosed.
[10:28] <coz_> funkyweasel,  let me screenshot main window hold on
[10:28] <coz_> funkyweasel,    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/screenshots/Screenshot-KSpread%20%5Bmodified%5D.png
[10:29] <lucent> thevishy: save yourself loads of time, accept that it's not going to work, and get to doing a fresh install and re-instating your data :)
[10:29] <thevishy> lucent : i would have , but my old laptop doesnt even have CD support , and hence I will have to do via PXE boot etc
[10:30] <bruteforce_allti> When I set my bottom panel to be displayed on left or right it does not show the open items icon
[10:30] <billy> vijay_: you are in trouble - look at piping locate result to sed - good luck learning sed - i wont touch it
[10:30] <bruteforce_allti> Any way to resolve this?
[10:30] <thevishy> just wonder if I can do something - i mean the power went off during uprade - I am in maitainance shell now
[10:30] <vijay_> lucent: dirname doesn't work for my purpose, and i already have an alias that changes files to director so I can safely do cd /path/filename
[10:30] <thevishy> there is a difference between /etc/mtab and cat /proc/mounts
[10:30] <coz_> thevishy,   you are at command prompt?
[10:30] <thevishy> yeah maitainance shell
[10:30] <vijay_> billy: that is sad news indeed :(
[10:30] <billy> vijay_: you could also look at awk instead of sed
[10:31] <coz_> thevishy,  try  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:31] <hariom> Hi, I have setup DHCP connection. When I set nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf and restart networking, the nameserver gets reset to my router's ip address. How can I set nameserver while using DHCP ?
[10:31] <johnathan> good day ladies and gents
[10:32] <DarkStar1> what the CLI for deleting files again?
[10:32] <lucent> hariom: I think that stuff is controlled by NetworkManager
[10:32] <lucent> is this regular GUI type Ubuntu ?
[10:33] <vijay_> I have come close with cd $(locate synergyc) and it works (with the dirname like alias for cd) but i guess there's no better way than that
[10:33] <coz_> DarkStar1,    sudo rm -rf  location/of/file
[10:33] <DarkStar1> coz_:  thanks
[10:33] <thevishy> coz , this a maitainance shell and hence no network support , however the sudo apt-get update says no network and then says the obvious message which is that dkpg was interupted - and try to run sudo dpkg --configure -a
[10:33]  * DarkStar1 has the memory of a fine sieve
[10:33] <coz_> DarkStar1,  make sure you get the loation right
[10:33] <thevishy> but dpkg --configure -a just says its a read only file system
[10:33] <johnathan> I have installed a extra hard drive into my server which l wanna use as my file storage. But if l create a file on it to share I can't change the permissions. Am l doing something wrong?
[10:33] <DarkStar1> it's local folder
[10:34] <vijay_> btw the alias is "cd(){ [ -f "$1" ]&&builtin cd "${1%/*}"||builtin cd "$1";}" , got it from command line fu
[10:34] <Daniel_WMDE> hariom: edit resolv.conf.tail instead, it's appended to the auto-generated version of resolve.conf
[10:34] <geirha> DarkStar1: And don't use sudo unless you actually need root permissions.
[10:34] <lucent> johnathan: is this on the root of the filesystem?
[10:34] <geirha> vijay_: That's not an alias, it's a function.
[10:34] <johnathan> to be honest lm not sure. How would l go about to check that?
[10:35] <DarkStar1> geirha: I'm in root shell anyway
[10:35] <thevishy> lucent: is it possible to mount the root as non read only ? in the maintenance shel
[10:35] <vijay_> geirha: sorry my mistake, that's what I meant
[10:35] <lucent> thevishy: mount -o rw,remount /
[10:35] <geirha> vijay_: And you need a whitespace in front of }
[10:35] <lucent> thevishy: "remount" is the word for it
[10:35] <lucent> thevishy: root is inherently always mounted if you're on the system
[10:36] <thevishy> lucent: thats the issue , this is a maintenance shell and it works with / mounted as READ ONLY
[10:36] <DarkStar1> I need to store an alias for the root shell....
[10:36] <vijay_> alright thanks guys.
[10:37] <hariom> lucent: I don't have network manager installed. I am not on GUI. Its command line. And manual update should superseed network manager.
[10:37] <geirha> vijay_: locate's output can't be parsed safely.
[10:37] <lucent> hariom: okay
[10:39] <Tarfox> hey guys!
[10:39] <tensorpudding> !hi | Tarfox
[10:39] <tensorpudding> err, hi
[10:39] <Tarfox> im trying to install 10.04 on my hp g72 but as soon as it gets to the install screen it turns of my backlight
[10:40] <Tarfox> i can still see (with much effort) what is on the screen, but the backlight is off
[10:40] <Tarfox> how can i fix that?
[10:41] <rockhopper> Tarfox, Is that a laptop?
[10:41] <Tarfox> yer
[10:41] <amin_> i need a professional voice recognition software ???
[10:41] <Cedet6d> hi
[10:41] <Tarfox> just got it yesterday
[10:41] <geirha> vijay_: Or actually, it can, with the -0 option. locatecd() { local file; IFS= read -r -d '' file < <(locate -0 "$1") && cd "$file"; }
[10:42] <timothy> Tarfox, maybe try ubuntu alternate cd (ncurses based installer)
[10:42] <Tarfox> aah
[10:42] <Tarfox> ill try that
[10:42] <Tarfox> cool, thx
[10:43] <Tarfox> btw
[10:43] <rockhopper> Tarfox, Is the backlight brightness button working?
[10:43] <Tarfox> you recommend 10.04 or 10.10?
[10:43] <rockhopper> 10.04's stable
[10:43] <jabo> Hi, I'm new to Linux and I would like to know if someone could point me in the direction to get a development web server installed, when in windows I used Wamp, currently I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid, thanks
[10:43] <Tarfox> it tried that
[10:43] <Tarfox> it just turns off 100%
[10:43] <Tarfox> and the brightness button doesnt work
[10:43] <vijay_> geirha: hey cool, that works too!
[10:44] <vijay_> doesn't bash store output in a special variable?
[10:44] <phaedra> jabo, you can try xampp from apachefriends
[10:44] <jabo> Thanks, I'll give it a try
[10:44] <vijay_> i was hoping for a more generic solution, something like "cd -" i guess, but working with the previous output
[10:44] <tensorpudding> jabo: there's apache, lighttpd, cherokee, etc. out there, and tons of guides to LAMP
[10:45] <rockhopper> Tarfox, can you do lspci | grep -i vga
[10:45] <Tarfox> nope
[10:45] <rockhopper> Tarfox, you can manually adjust the brightness
[10:45] <Tarfox> neither :(
[10:45] <timothy> Jabo: Look here too. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[10:45] <Tarfox> but ill try the ncurses thing
[10:45] <amin_>  i need a professional voice recognition software ???
[10:46] <rockhopper> Can you read anything on the screen?
[10:46] <Tarfox> barely
[10:46] <geirha> vijay_: No
[10:46] <Tarfox> i can see the install screen a bit
[10:46] <hariom> anybody know how to mention a nameserver while using DHCP? I have entered a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf but whenever I do /etc/init.d/networking restart, the nameserver entry gets reset.
[10:46] <rockhopper> Tarfox, you can setpci to increase the brightness
[10:46] <Tarfox> but for the rest its to dark
[10:46] <PolarFox> Aabout mavericks io problems? Seems to be damn slow with ext4 :(
[10:46] <Tarfox> i cant give any commands
[10:47] <rockhopper> Tarfox, Oh!
[10:47] <vijay_> geirha: ok, i guess i was confusing bash with python
[10:47] <mnk> hi, i just upgraded to maverick and i am having sound issues. Sound does play sometimes but it is REALLY REALLY fast. I tried using a guest account and same thing. not sure how to fix it. can anyone help?
[10:47] <Tarfox> as soon as it boots in linux it goes dark
[10:47] <timothy> amin_: start by persuing here http://www.linuxlinks.com/portal/news/index.php?
[10:47] <Tarfox> im going to reboot
[10:47] <rockhopper> Tarfox, In that case, its hard to rectify
[10:47] <Tarfox> ill brb
[10:47] <Tarfox> i kno ;)
[10:47] <rockhopper> k
[10:47] <Tarfox> thx for the help!
[10:47] <rockhopper> np
[10:47] <jabo> Thanks this'll give me something to look at tonight, you guys R great
[10:47] <geirha> vijay_: You can read locate's output into an array. while IFS= read -r -d '' file; do array+=("$file"); done < <(locate -0 foo); echo "First file ${array[0]}, second file ${array[1]} ..."
[10:48] <mnk> any ideas?
[10:48] <ziroday> mnk: did the same thing happen on the livecd?
[10:49] <greppy> mnk: have you checked in #ubuntu+1?  That's where it is officially supported
[10:49] <mnk> i haven't tried the livecd, ziroday. i just upgraded from 10.04
[10:49] <mnk> yeah no reply there greppy
[10:49] <PolarFox> iotop rarely show read speeds above 2M/s
[10:49] <rhobuntu-user> hi
[10:49] <mnk> basically everything was working fine in 10.04 but then when i upgraded to 10.10 beta, the sound just goes super fast
[10:50] <edillinger> i just installed ubuntu lucid on an OCZ vertex 2 SSD.  I get an image that says 'one or more disks are failing' in the status bar, opening it says 'SMART Status: disk is being used outside design paramters"  smartctl --all /dev/sda is as follows: http://pastebin.com/3fx4dL05  is something wrong with the drive?
[10:50] <MooshiMuushi> YO! :D
[10:51] <rhobuntu-user> I'm looking for an ultra-lightweight CPP IDE with syntax-hightlighting, code completion & a click to compile button. Any suggestions?
[10:51] <coz_> mnk,   most of the support in this channel is for lucid  I believe you are already on #ubuntu+1 which is specifically for maverick until next sunday
[10:52] <ziroday> rhobuntu-user: geany?
[10:52] <coz_> rhobuntu-user,  did you look at anjuta or eclipse?
[10:52] <coz_> although both not lightweight i believe
[10:52] <Guest10833> i've got a postgresql 8.3 error in all installations anybody know how to fix it
[10:53] <rhobuntu-user> coz_: Tried anjuta and codeblocks
[10:53] <coz_> rhobuntu-user,      https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerUsersProgramming
[10:53] <coz_> rhobuntu-user,   maybe  Geany
[10:53] <rhobuntu-user> coz_: What does it suggest? - Don't want to open links on my phone
[10:53] <rhobuntu-user> geany? - Okay, downloading now
[10:54] <coz_> rhobuntu-user,   it suggests   netbeans  ..eclipse ...geany    bluefish  and cssed
[10:54] <MooshiMuushi> rhobuntu-user, I vote 1 for Geany ;)
[10:55] <Keypad> Hey guys, I just installed ubuntu on a laptop of mine but xserver seams like its not running (Screen goes black on Boot) Whats the best way to go about fixing this ?
[10:56] <coz_> Keypad,   when it begins to boot  hit e  or shift e to be to grub menu   you want to edit the kenrel  command    "quiet splash:"  replace with nomodeset
[10:57] <MooshiMuushi> Is there a way to extract a MKV file in Ubuntu 10.04?
[10:57] <magnetron> MooshiMuushi: what are you trying to extract
[10:57] <rockhopper> MooshiMuushi, from a cd?
[10:58] <Exploiter> or compressed file?
[10:58] <coz_> MooshiMuushi,  maybe look here    http://bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/
[10:58] <MooshiMuushi> Extract a an MKV video file.
[10:58] <rhobuntu-user> Thanks, but although the interface looked fine, I wasn't able to compile "Hello World" without errors
[10:58] <coz_> MooshiMuushi,    http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man1/mkvextract.1.html
[10:58] <MooshiMuushi> coz_, Ahh, now the second post was what I needed :D
[10:58] <Mazon> I am seeing an increased load on my server after upgrading to 10.04, seems to be an issue with the tickless scheduler. I saw some comments that there was no fix for LTS?
[10:58] <magnetron> MooshiMuushi: ok, i guess the same way that you extract a BMP file or AVI file. your question doesn't make much sense
[10:59] <coz_> MooshiMuushi,  there you go :)
[10:59] <Tuplad> What would be the easiest way to connect to a desktop (I'm on Ubuntu, he's on Windows) and to control the desktop (like VNC) ? Want to offer some remote help.
[10:59] <Mazon> (tickless kernel)
[10:59] <MooshiMuushi> coz_, I thought no one made a Extract version for ubuntu :D
[10:59] <abhijain> hello i got deleted by mistake my upper pannel how can i get now it again
[10:59] <magnetron> MooshiMuushi: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
[10:59] <MooshiMuushi> magnetron, Don't worry. Coz_, got it :)
[10:59] <Keypad> how do I get to the ubuntu boot options F8 ?
[10:59] <coz_> MooshiMuushi,  cool
[11:00] <DarkStar1> Tuplad: use the ubuntu RD software but get him to enable windoes rd
[11:00] <MooshiMuushi> magnetron, An ".mkv" file is a container. That stores video, audio and subtitle codecs.
[11:00] <Tuplad> DarkStar1: the person is a complete noob, what if I send him a version of TightVNC for example and connect through that?
[11:00] <DarkStar1> Anyone know a good scp server that I can install on windows?
[11:00] <MooshiMuushi> magnetron, An ".avi" file is also a video container. Which also stores video and audio codecs.
[11:01] <magnetron> MooshiMuushi: yes. so i ask again, what are you trying to extract from it?
[11:01] <abhijain> abhinav_singh: do u have any idea how can i get my upper pannel once again
[11:01] <MooshiMuushi> magnetron, I was asking. Is there a program that will allow the extraction of an ".mkv" file.
[11:01] <coz_> abhijain,  what happened to it?
[11:01] <MooshiMuushi> magnetron, Everything ;)
[11:02] <magnetron> MooshiMuushi: it all depends on what you are trying to do with it. raw video data doesn't make much sense without a container
[11:02] <coz_> abhijain,   open a terminal and paste this command    gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel
[11:02] <DarkStar1> Tuplad: If I can get this right I think if you get the person to, windows key+r, type services.msc and check to see if Remote desktop service is running, then they can start the rd service from accessories
[11:02] <MooshiMuushi> magnetron, E.g h.264. Correct. :)
[11:03] <Keypad> Can some one help me figure out why Ubuntu doesnt boot after installing it on a laptop ?
[11:03] <DarkStar1> Tuplad: I think it serves as well as client but I can't remember off the top of my head
[11:03] <rhobuntu-user> I get permission denied
[11:03] <magnetron> MooshiMuushi: screw it, i'm tired of trying to pull out an answer from you
[11:03] <coz_> abhijain,  or you can also just reset all of gnome to defaults if you like
[11:03] <timothy> Keypad: what happens exactly?
[11:03] <abhijain> coz_: how can i open terminal i deleted my upper pannel
[11:04] <MooshiMuushi> magnetron, You went into to much detail, and it wasn't needed. Anyway, Thanks :)
[11:04] <coz_> abhijain,   hit   alt+F2
[11:04] <coz_> abhijain,    gnome-terminal
[11:04] <TiK> morns
[11:05] <Keypad> timothy: Ubuntu looks like its booting X then it just displays a black screen, I cant use CTRL ALT F1 to change to console
[11:05] <abhijain> coz_: thanx
[11:05] <coz_> abhijain,  no problem :)
[11:07] <uczen> 0

[11:10] <Lai0a> hi. how can i get to the editable bootprompt when starting ubuntu?
[11:10] <rhobuntu-user> Where is "geany_run_script.sh"?
[11:10] <timothy> Lai0a: hit escape key i think
[11:10] <Lai0a> the splashscreen comes to fast
[11:10] <Lai0a> ahh ty
[11:10] <tensorpudding> it's shift now
[11:11] <coz_> Lai0a,  I think it is shift also  or shift+e
[11:11] <rhobuntu-user> !keymap
[11:11] <timothy> Lai0a: actually hold down shift key when you are booting. coz_ is right
[11:11] <tqft> Lai0a:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Change%20Boot%20Options%20Temporarily%20For%20An%20Existing%20Installation
[11:11] <abhijain> coz_: i need bluetoot h icon
[11:11] <TiK> grub2 is the left shift, grub1 is escape
[11:12] <Lai0a> thx "shift" key is working
[11:12] <coz_> abhijain,  did the notification area show up?
[11:12] <rhobuntu-user> Where is "geany_run_script.sh"?
[11:12] <rhobuntu-user> I need to change the permissions on it
[11:12] <coz_> abhijain,   open system/preferences/bluetooth
[11:12] <abhijain> ok

[11:13] <Keypad> wow shift works
[11:13] <TiK> rhobuntu-user: open a  shell and run find / -name geany_run_script.sh
[11:15] <Keypad> timothy: I can get into recovery mode. thats about it though

[11:18] <alexkid> #php
[11:18] <Leman_Russ> Hey.  Anyone working with Professional sound in Linux?
[11:19] <timothy> Keypad: good that u can log into recovery mode. just try every solution offered. most likely this one https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution
[11:20] <timothy> Leman_Russ: yes. why?
[11:21] <AbhiJit> hello
[11:21] <banpdtr_> In one project source code, there is one file with LGPL licence. But that project holder issued Apache License 2.0. I want to use the project source code.. Can I use it ?
[11:21] <Leman_Russ> timothy; Hi!  well, I have been using Windows for years; since 98, with Pro-Audio gear.
[11:22] <Keypad> timothy: It crashes in recovery mode :(
[11:22] <AbhiJit> banpdtr_, why not ask to the project owner only?
[11:22] <Leman_Russ> I am fully on Linux now, especially Ubuntu, and am looking for a new Audio Interface which will work with Ubuntu out the box
[11:22] <israfel> I'm surprised that Ubuntu doesn't come with a nice GUI FTP client... Unless I'm not seeing something right.
[11:22] <Leman_Russ> Looking for recommendations and reports, basically
[11:22] <AbhiJit> israfel, filezilla
[11:22] <timothy> Leman_Russ: Okay. have a look at avlinux and ubuntustudio
[11:23] <banpdtr_> AbhiJit, posted message 3 months back.. still waiting :(
[11:23] <Leman_Russ> timothy; I am not looking for distros; I am looking for recommendations for Audio Interfaces which will work with Linux
[11:23] <israfel> AbhiJit, Yeah, I can install that, but just surprised it wasn't installed with the OS.
[11:23] <AbhiJit> banpdtr_, this is ubuntu support channel. we cant help you further you need to talk to the project owner or talk to one with good knowledge of law and gpl/lgpl
[11:24] <AbhiJit> israfel, hmm
[11:24] <israfel> Any recommendations on a more powerful FTP client?
[11:24] <greppy> israfel: ncftp
[11:24] <timothy> Leman_Russ: AV Linux has OOTB Support for many common Pro Audio/MIDI Interfaces like M-Audio, Tascam, Echo and RME and a growing list of Firewire Audio Interfaces are also working with FFADO and FreeBOB.
[11:25] <greppy> israfel: disclaimer: that's a terminal client :)
[11:25] <Leman_Russ> timothy; great thanks.  I will head over to the site / forums and see what I can find.  Thanks again
[11:25] <israfel> greppy, That's fine. Just looking for more features and control.
[11:26] <jussi> israfel: I thought nautilus did ftp - try ftp://address.here
[11:26] <jussi> !ftp | israfel
[11:26] <timothy> israfel: look here as well http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/20100320122220926/FTPClients.html
[11:26] <debuggerboy> /join #python
[11:27] <greppy> israfel: also, in gnome, places, connect to server
[11:28] <israfel> greppy, Ah, ok. I figured I could also just use command line programs, just looking for something a little more powerful than an file explorer.
[11:29] <edilinger> How might i rotate just 1 screen in Xinerama w/nvidia binary driver(downloaded 1hr ago from nvidia.com)?  I tried adding Option "Rotate" "CCW" to one screen and Option "Rotate" "normal" to another screen, but no luck.  Didnt see anything in nvidia-settings regarding rotate
[11:29] <edilinger> well, it does rotate, but it rotates both
[11:30] <israfel> edlinger, Are you trying to change the orientation of one screen?
[11:30] <edilinger> israfel: yes
[11:30] <Salminen> How do i make rm remove folders?
[11:31] <edilinger> Salminen: rm -rf, but be careful
[11:31] <greppy> Salminen: rm -rf folder
[11:31] <edilinger> israfel: is rotate the wrong option for that?
[11:31] <Salminen> thanks
[11:31] <israfel> edilinger, Let me check, It's been a while since I used Xinerama
[11:32] <Keypad> Does any one else  know how I can get my laptop to boot? It like crashes starting X
[11:32] <alaing> hi i installed mysql server but i cannot find out the username and password
[11:32] <alaing> where can i find this?
[11:33] <TiK> heh
[11:33] <TiK> impossiable
[11:33] <TiK> whn you install it it prompts for that inormation
[11:33] <DarkStar1> lol
[11:33] <TiK> informatin
[11:34] <Keypad> I hope this rescue mode stuff works
[11:34] <myrkraverk> How do I find/contact the package maintainer for pljava?  Current is postgresql-8.3-pljava
[11:34] <Phil_Ewert> Hi, I am enjoying the Cairo-Dock very much, but after configuring some compiz-options my cairo-dock always shows a Black-box instead of a transparent background. Any suggestions?
[11:36] <Salminen> is .bashrc created automatically in user home directory?
[11:36] <Salminen> or do i need to make one?
[11:36] <Salminen> <- fail at using ls
[11:36] <the_german> Salminen: Yes it is!
[11:36] <Salminen> weird, can't see it
[11:36] <the_german> Salminen: ls -al
[11:36] <Salminen> nvm, yeah, just did ls -a
[11:37] <geirha> myrkraverk: apt-cache show <package-name>  look for Maintainer
[11:37] <myrkraverk> Salminen% obviously, if it's not there you need to make it ;)
[11:37] <israfel> edilinger, Ok, what I've seen is that people are using the "left" and "right" rotates. Nothing for CCW in the google searches yet. I had a similar issue using RandR until I found out I couldn't run xinerama and RandR at the same time.
[11:37] <the_german> myrkraverk: isnt it created automatically?
[11:37] <the_german> prolly some ubuntu thing
[11:37] <edilinger> israfel: hmm, i wonder if rotate and twinview work against eachother
[11:37] <israfel> edilinger, Yes.
[11:38] <Moopz> Hey. I'm trying to execute a file in the terminal, however I keep getting permission denied. The file is on a mounted iso. When I do sudo ./filename, it just gives me permission denied.
[11:38] <alaing> Tik it didn't ask me for the information
[11:38] <israfel> edilinger, Twinview won't work because the orientation isn't the same on each screen.... Or are you making both screens portrait?
[11:38] <Salminen> so basically can i just add a command in the .bashrc and it will run when i log in?
[11:38] <myrkraverk> the_german% in my experience, it doesn't have to be.
[11:38] <the_german> Moopz: chmod u+x <filename>
[11:38] <Keypad> Can some one help me figure out why this laptop will not boot after installing a fresh copy of ubuntu ?
[11:38] <Salminen> like, just put bash mybash.sh there and it will be run?
[11:39] <israfel> Keypad, Did you make sure that the install disc isn't corrupt?
[11:39] <myrkraverk> Salminen% Yes.  You'll want .bash_profile (iirc) if you only want it to run when you log in and not when you spawn each shell.
[11:39] <Moopz> the_german, Still the same.
[11:39] <AbhiJit> myrkraverk, what is pljava?
[11:39] <Boo_Boo_> i want to add ubuntu to grub on another distro can anyone give me a link to editing the menu.lst file ?
[11:40] <myrkraverk> AbhiJit% Java stored procedures in postgresql.
[11:40] <the_german> Moopz: what are your permission on the file?
[11:40] <Keypad> israfel: yeah I did the check / md5
[11:40] <AbhiJit> myrkraverk, give me its link
[11:40] <geirha> Salminen: If you want to run something when you log in, put it in System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications
[11:40] <TiK> alaing: did you install mysql-client as well?
[11:40] <Moopz> the_german, How do I check that?
[11:40] <the_german> ls -l <filename>
[11:40] <israfel> Keypad, Is there an error message?
[11:40] <TiK> keypad: id you check the cd as well?
[11:40] <myrkraverk> AbhiJit% http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pljava/ ?
[11:41] <TiK> on boot.. there is an otion called "est the cd" or something
[11:41] <AbhiJit> myrkraverk, thanks!
[11:41] <Keypad> TiK: Yeah!
[11:41] <TiK> whats the error?
[11:41] <myrkraverk> AbhiJit% I just ported it myself for 8.4 in a way that "works for me" - I'm willing to work with a package maintainer so it can be integrated into ubuntu.
[11:41] <israfel> Keypad, Tried a different version of Ubuntu?
[11:42] <AbhiJit> myrkraverk, #ubuntu-packaging #ubuntu-devel
[11:42] <alaing> TiK I dont think so. perhaps I need to do it a different way. I used the Software Centre. How do i install it from a terminal windows
[11:42] <Keypad> It just blackscreens, on boot. Cant change to a terminal window using ctrl alt F1 - 2 etc
[11:42] <myrkraverk> AbhiJit% Ah, thank you.
[11:42] <TiK> alaing: hold
[11:42] <Keypad> israfel: I dont just the alternative disk
[11:42] <israfel> Keypad, Can you boot to command line?
[11:42] <AbhiJit> myrkraverk, :)
[11:42] <alaing> TiK: I'll hold
[11:43] <TiK> Keypad: mine use to do that too it was a bad btch of blank cd's.. drop into terminal (alt control f1) and see if you have any errors
[11:43] <israfel> Keypad, You at least get Grub, correct?
[11:43] <Keypad> israfel: Sorry, How do I do that ?
[11:43] <edilinger> israfel: excellent, disabling twinview fixed it up
[11:43] <Keypad> israfel: Yeah if I hold down shift I can see the grub menu
[11:44] <israfel> Keypad, But does it let you select any other options? If you can edit the grub menu, you should be able to set up a command line only option.
[11:44] <edilinger> now for my last problem,  how can i switch which monitor X thinks is primary montior?  The controls are showing up on my second rotated monitor instead of the first.  Is that entirely based on which one is plugged in where?
[11:44] <Moopz> the_german, ?
[11:44] <TiK> alaing: sudo apt-get install mysql-client mysql-common
[11:45] <Keypad> israfel Yeah it does, however recovery mode doesent boot
[11:45] <TiK> you already have server :P
[11:45] <alaing> alright and after that?
[11:45] <TiK> alaing: it will prompt you for the root passwd
[11:46] <alaing> so in a terminal I just type mysql?
[11:46] <TiK> then you can insall phpmyadmin which makes life easy
[11:46] <TiK> alaing: sudo apt-get install mysql-client mysql-common
[11:46] <TiK> is the ull command
[11:46] <TiK> full
[11:46] <TiK> then mysql -u root -p
[11:47] <alaing> i did that and it did not ask me for any username/password
[11:47] <Keypad> israfel: What command should I use to get grub to boot ubuntu to command line
[11:47] <TiK> alaing: idk the
[11:47] <TiK> n
[11:47] <alaing> I'm used to phpmyadmin as i normally use xampp
[11:47] <TiK> alaing: do you know the root password?
[11:48] <alaing> yes i know roots password.
[11:48] <TiK> mysql -u root -p
[11:48] <TiK> enter password
[11:48] <alaing> I managed to get in there way does it set the password as my ubuntu roots password?
[11:49] <alaing> how do i setup phpmyadmin?
[11:49] <TiK> you speak really bad English, can you repeat that
[11:49] <alaing> I managed to connect. why does it set the password as my ubuntu roots password?
[11:50] <TiK> it doesnt, thats the password you entered
[11:50] <Keypad> oh crap, is recovery mode the same as single user mode ?
[11:50] <alaing> i cant remember it asking me for a password when i installed it.
[11:50] <alaing> anyway I'm connected how do i setup phpmyadmin
[11:50] <TiK> well i did :)
[11:50] <TiK> it
[11:50] <israfel> Keypad, Sec. Was looking up Xinerama issues.
[11:51] <Boo_Boo_> can anyone tell me where grub menu.lst is on ubuntu ?
[11:51] <Keypad> kk :)
[11:51] <israfel> Keypad, What version of Grub are you running? When you did the install, was there any removable drives, thumb drives, etc, that could have messed up the disk mount order?
[11:51] <Boo_Boo_> ive installed arch linux and grub didnt pick up ubuntu and want to add it
[11:52] <israfel> Keypad, For instance, grub may be looking at partition a when it's isn9talled on b.
[11:52] <odb|fidel> Boo_Boo_: most likely at /boot/grub/ - but consider using find/locate or similar if you arent sure where to look
[11:53] <venky10> Boo_Boo_ : ubuntu doesn't use menu.lst anymore. Its grub.cfg now. Its in /boot/grub/
[11:53] <babai> Boo_Boo_: no menu.lst on ubuntu, its grub2 now
[11:53] <babai> oops! too late
[11:54] <BODMAS> hi all
[11:54] <Milk_> think anybody help with a display issue?
[11:54] <BODMAS> i av a question please
[11:54] <venky10> Please don't ask to ask. just ask.
[11:54] <BODMAS> how will i run a windows application on ubuntu
[11:54] <Milk_> BODMAS: go into software manager, install WINE
[11:54] <babai> BODMAS: install wine
[11:54] <Boo_Boo_> yeah ive just noticed that now, im used to lilo
[11:55] <Milk_> my issue is, I just recently installed compiz and compiz-icon
[11:55] <odb|fidel> BODMAS: out of the box - you dont - while wine might help
[11:55] <Milk_> oh and emerald
[11:55] <Milk_> I went into compiz manager, tried to set opacity on a window
[11:55] <Milk_> and now all windows are invisible
[11:55] <Boo_Boo_> venky10, copying my grub menu list section of ubuntu would work on my arch grub config ?
[11:55] <Keypad> israfel: only the laptop HD, its version 1.98
[11:56] <Blood_valentine> Can someone list down all pc OS?
[11:56] <israfel> Keypad, partitioned into other drives?
[11:56] <venky10> Boo_Boo_ : you mean you're gonna make a new entry and point to the new kernel you built?
[11:56] <chu> Hey guys, not really an Ubuntu question per say, just a general GNU/Linux query... Is there a variable or something which controls where STDOUT goes to? For instance, in a terminal session session STDOUT directs to the terminal display, but in a GNOME session for instance, I'm guessing it goes elsewhere? It's possible I have no idea what I'm talking about :p
[11:57] <szonek> hi
[11:57] <szonek> which netflow collector would you recommend? ;-)
[11:58] <Boo_Boo_> no venky10 i have been using ubuntu lately and just recently tried arch linux , i was hoping grub in arch would pick up mt ubuntu install but it didnt so im trying to edit the menu.lst so i can dual boot arch and ubuntu
[11:58] <Keypad> israfel: It should have nuked everything
[11:58] <timothy> chu: various commands can direct output to a logfile. look at the configuration files
[11:59] <BODMAS> pls hw will i run windows application on ubuntu
[11:59] <BODMAS> thanks ODB|FIDEL
[11:59] <venky10> Boo_Boo_ , you should point grub to the right partition where Arch Linux sits
[11:59] <jussi> !wine | BODMAS
[11:59] <timothy> Boo_Boo_: Why not let ubuntu havee the grub installation?
[11:59] <venky10> Boo_Boo, for example /dev/sda2
[11:59] <israfel> Keypad, When you install, you should format everything and set up partitions. OS, Storage, Swap, etc.
[11:59] <Boo_Boo_> how do i do that now timothy, chroot the ubuntu partition ?
[12:00] <Keypad> israfel: I did : / I deleted all the paritions and let it recreate everything
[12:00] <chu> timothy: It's not actually for me sorry, there's a question on UF about executing a terminal application (just a "hello world" app I think) in GNOME. He says he gets the output when he runs through a terminal, but gets nothing when he double clicks the executable file. I'm just assuming the STDOUT goes elsewhere, hence why it's not giving him a message?
[12:00] <thekiller> i have problem with connecting to the network
[12:01] <thekiller> in the ubuntu system
[12:01] <israfel> Keypad, Are you able to see the drive and files using the live cd?
[12:01] <Keypad> im using the alternative CD
[12:01] <Keypad> as I allways have issues using the live CD
[12:01] <timothy> Boo_Boo_: boot into ubuntu recovery mode and install grub to mbr
[12:01] <Boo_Boo_> venky, ive tried this ...title ubuntu ...root (hd0,4)....kernel /vmlinuz  root=/dev/sda4 ro ....initrd /initrd.img   ?
[12:02] <Boo_Boo_> it doesnt work though :(
[12:02] <thekiller> i have problem with connecting with my RAwter
[12:03] <Boo_Boo_> timothy, but ubuntu's grub see arch linux ?
[12:03] <Gigacore> guys, any guesses why pidgin minimizes whenever I change / pause / resume tracks in rhythmbox?
[12:03] <StaffanE> can somebody give me a hint where to find a release schedule for Lucid-kernels?
[12:03] <timothy> theliller: u have to know ua gateway address in addition to ip addresses
[12:03] <timothy> chu: am not sure
[12:03] <timothy> thekiller: u have to know ua gateway address in addition to ip addresses
[12:04] <israfel> Keypad, Ok, so check out the /boot/grub/menu.lst That should have the grub settings for where the install is located and and options for booting.
[12:04] <chu> timothy: That's fine mate, I did some googling but wasn't actually sure I was even looking for the right thing :p
[12:04] <timothy> StaffanE: take a look at the kernel ppa http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[12:05] <Keypad> israfel: I just formated it again, I deleted all the paritions then selected guided and said use the entire disk
[12:05] <alaing> grr I'm stuck with installing phpmyadmin. I used apt-get install phpmyadmin and asked it to config apache2. its now asking me about configuring a database. I already have mysql and can connect to it. Should I configu database for phpmyadmin with dbconfig-common?
[12:05] <timothy> Boo_Boo_: yep. Grub2 reads grub legacy very well
[12:06] <thekiller> timothy i know them
[12:06] <venky10> Boo_Boo_ : try getting into grub live and check if it sees the arch partition
[12:06] <israfel>  Keypad, Is this your second install? It could have just been a fluke for a first install to be bad.
[12:06] <Boo_Boo_> how do i do that venky
[12:06] <timothy> alaing: go ahead. follow the instructions. create that phpmyadmin database
[12:07] <Keypad> israfel: Yeah I know, Once I had a install that kept telling me that my disk was fucked. I must have installed it like 15 times Then it told me my HDD was currupt. only to figure out it was a bad RAM stick
[12:07] <discorpia> i'm having a problem with 10.04.1 not showing up as an upgrade uption in the update manager (or when i run apt-get upgrade/apt-get dist-upgrade).. i'm running 10.04 on 32bit system, it uses the regular lucid repos.
[12:07] <discorpia> anyone have an idea of what might be wrong?
[12:08] <israfel> Keypad, I had an issue with a USB-bootable persistent install of Ubuntu that had Grub 2 screwing up the HDD boot orders.
[12:09] <venky10> Boo_Boo_: I'm no expert on grub. but i think you can run it live from a cd. Once you set your partitions right, you can add grub entries. Read up grub live help pages
[12:10] <Boo_Boo_> ok ill have a read up before i try it thanks
[12:10] <timothy> discorpia: press alt-F2 and type update-manager -d
[12:11] <Jordan_U> Boo_Boo_: I would let Ubuntu control the MBR instead of archlinux. Ubuntu, because it uses grub2, will automatically detect archlinux and add it to its grub.cfg. Follow this guide to re-install Ubuntu's grub: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[12:12] <discorpia> timothy: -d shows 10.10 as option, however i was hopeing to go from 10.04 lts to 10.04.1 lts
[12:12] <Boo_Boo_> thanks Jordan_U
[12:12] <Jordan_U> Boo_Boo_: You're welcome.
[12:12] <frdsthebom> maybe some 1 here can help me i have windows vista and it wont boot up anymore it does a loop so now im running linux bt4 to try to fix it i try to download applications to help me fix it and i can open them or install them what can i do to get my windows vista running again
[12:13] <discorpia> timothy: thanks mate, your tip led me in the right direction!
[12:13] <timothy> discorpia: just update ua software packages. it will automatically upgrade to 10.04.1
[12:13] <discorpia> timothy: all figured out now, thanks alot!
[12:13] <timothy> discorpia: lol.. welcome
[12:13] <alaing> timonthy: I did that but now when I try http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ its cannot find it I looked in /var/www and cannot find any reference to phpmyadmin. any idea?
[12:14] <israfel> G'night everyone.
[12:14] <discorpia> alaing: it's probably an aliased directory, check in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/* files or /etc/apache2/httpd.conf or apache2.conf
[12:14] <timothy> alaing: try http://localhost/phpmyadmin/scripts/setup.php
[12:15] <alaing> timothy: not found again
[12:16] <timothy> alaing: soory, thought u were installing from source
[12:16] <alaing> all i did was apt-get install phpmyadmin
[12:16] <alaing> and follow the prompts
[12:17] <a_> rt\
[12:18] <rabbit_kan> to work under command line is proved the better way,I thought the best way.
[12:18] <alaing> i did change the ownership of /var/www from root to my own user if that makes any difference
[12:19] <timothy> alaing: take a look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin
[12:21] <alaing> hmm not sure it this would work as I'm using 10.04 server edition with desktop enviroment
[12:25] <timothy> alaing: it worked for me. using the same system as yours
[12:27] <rhobuntu-user> hi
[12:28] <alaing> timothy: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Its working I just had to add that line into my apache2.conf to include it
[12:28] <timothy> alaing: welcome :-)
[12:29] <Boo_Boo_> Thanks Jordan_U it work great :)

[12:34] <dabukalam> Hi, I'm running ubuntu server and I've configured Hardware RAID1 on two Hard Drives. How can I get some sort of web monitoring interface to check drive health and failure?
[12:34] <rhobuntu-user> dabukalam: fakeRAID?
[12:35] <dabukalam> rhobuntu-user: No, I configured it through the bios
[12:35] <rhobuntu-user> kk
[12:38] <rhobuntu-user> I get "file not found errors" when coding & compiling in geany, however the following when run from Terminal works:  echo -e "#include <iostream> \nint main(void){std::cout<<'H'<<'e'<<'l'<<'l'<<'o'<<' '<<'W'<<'o'<<'r'<<'l'<<'d';}" > hi.cpp && g++ hi.cpp -o hi && ./hi
[12:39] <fabzor3> how is it possible that updating crashed my ubuntu?
[12:39] <timothy> dabukalam: since you are running an ubuntu server why not try the commandline smart tools? alternatively try webmin
[12:39] <fabzor3> i mean i know it is possible that fine im just wondering why it might have happened
[12:39] <dabukalam> fabzor3: did the update complete successfully?
[12:39] <fabzor3> theres a possibility i rushed it
[12:39] <fabzor3> does that normally cause it?
[12:39] <dabukalam> timothy: does webmin have a hardware raid tool?
[12:39] <Salminen> what was the command to check the permissions for a specific file?
[12:40] <dabukalam> Salminen: stat <file>?
[12:40] <dabukalam> Salminen: ls -al <file>?
[12:40] <timothy> dabukalam: I think there is a module for that
[12:40] <Salminen> ah right ls
[12:40] <Salminen> yeah thanks
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> !info ebox
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> ebox is an alternative to webmin i belive
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> !ebox
[12:41] <fabzor3> dabukalam: so its not normal that  asuccessful update should crash ubuntu?
[12:41] <dabukalam> Dr_Willis: Yeah, I hate eBox
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> dabukalam:  webmin ussage under ubuntu. is not reccomended...
[12:41] <rhobuntu-user> I get "file not found errors" when coding & compiling in geany, however the following when run from Terminal works:  echo -e "#include <iostream> \nint main(void){std::cout<<'H'<<'e'<<'l'<<'l'<<'o'<<' '<<'W'<<'o'<<'r'<<'l'<<'d';}" > hi.cpp && g++ hi.cpp -o hi && ./hi
[12:41] <dabukalam> Dr_Willis: Yeah, I'm aware, I don't really care. eBox sucks tersticles
[12:41]  * rhobuntu-user is on his phone with irssi so can't scroll up
[12:42] <Jordan_U> Boo_Boo_: You're welcome :)
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> dabukalam:  time to grow up man.
[12:42] <fabzor3> i was also using 3rd party drivers
[12:42] <dabukalam> Dr_Willis: well, last time I tried it, maybe it's been developed significantly since then...
[12:42] <dabukalam> Dr_Willis: :P Sorry, I just really hate that software with a passion
[12:43] <BluesKaj> Hiyas
[12:43] <dabukalam> fabzor3: hmmm if you cut off the updates while they were installing they could have broken ubuntu
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> dabukalam:  you can alwauys find people with horror storries about any software.. ive seen quite a few over the years with Webmin.
[12:43] <Jordan_U> rhobuntu-user: Not terribly convienient but you can always use /scrollback and /lastlog.
[12:43] <fabzor3> yeah
[12:43] <dabukalam> fabzor3: if it was during the download phase though it shouldn't have made a difference...
[12:43] <Salminen> i need to know the location of something, what was the command for that?
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> Stopping updates while downloading should be safe.. after its installing them.. well.. thats not so good.
[12:43] <timothy> rhobuntu-user: you are compiling in ubuntu?
[12:43] <Salminen> i keep forgetting the very basics...
[12:43] <fabzor3> it didnt shutdown properly though
[12:43] <dabukalam> Salminen: whereis <file>?
[12:43] <rhobuntu-user> Jordan_U anyone solve it?
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> Salminen:  'locate' or 'find' or 'which' or whereis
[12:43] <fabzor3> the screen went blank then i cut the power
[12:43] <rhobuntu-user> timothy: yeah
[12:43] <Salminen> thanks
[12:43] <fabzor3> so yeah it was probably still updating at that point
[12:44] <Salminen> whereis python returned plenty of results but i think i can pick the correct one
[12:44] <fabzor3> well dabukalam thanks for your help!
[12:44] <timothy> Salminen: also type -a
[12:44] <timothy> rhobuntu-user: why not install from the repository if compiling is such a hussle?
[12:44] <dabukalam> fabzor3: not a problem. Just re-install ubuntu! It's too easy to be true
[12:44] <fabzor3> yeah i did
[12:44] <rhobuntu-user> timothy: I installed from repo
[12:45] <dabukalam> fabzor3: ;)
[12:45] <rhobuntu-user> with apt-get
[12:45] <fabzor3> i was just left with fear not knowing ehat caused it
[12:45] <fabzor3> afraid to offend old gypsy ladies
[12:45] <timothy> rhobuntu-user: you used apt tools? apt-get install?
[12:45] <rhobuntu-user> timothy: yeah
[12:46] <timothy> rhobuntu-user: am installing geany now. let me see
[12:46] <rhobuntu-user> timothy thanks
[12:48] <rhobuntu-user> Where is geany_run_scripts.sh?
[12:49] <nkdoodwal> hi
[12:50] <timothy> rhobuntu-user: installation went smooth
[12:50] <timothy> rhobuntu-user: try sudo apt-get -f install
[12:51] <rhobuntu-user> timothy: Write and compile a Hello World
[12:51] <nkdoodwal> how can we edit an iso image
[12:51] <rhobuntu-user> in c++
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> !info kiso
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> nkdoodwal:  there may be alterantives to kiso, but ive never used any
[12:53] <x0rs_w> Is Python commonly used by ubuntu users to automate processes in ubuntu? I am trying to choose a programming language to use in ubuntu, and I keep seeing Python popping up in recommendations.
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> x0rs_w:  python is common in most disrtos.
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> x0rs_w:  not just ubuntu
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> ages agp it was 'perl' all over the place. now its moved to python it seems.. befor perl, tcl/tk was common
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> x0rs_w:  and theres always just normal 'bash'
[12:54] <x0rs_w> Dr_Willis, okay awesome, thanks... I notice Python has to have an interpreter. Is it possible to write a program and easily distribute it? With something similar to a makefile?
[12:54] <nkdoodwal> can anybody tell me how to make an iso image of installed ubuntu in my computer
[12:54] <timothy> rhobuntu-user: it went smooth. no errors
[12:54] <rhobuntu-user> hmm
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> Python has tons of docs out x0rs_w  - I rarely do more then simple scripts.
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> !remaster | nkdoodwal
[12:55] <x0rs_w> Dr_Willis, okay excellent, thanks very much
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> nkdoodwal:  i also recall some 'live scripts' tool that could make a live image of the currently running system. if thats what you want.. theres tons of other ways to 'backup to iso' if thats what you want also
[12:56] <timothy> rhobuntu-user: worked for me. maybe try purging geany or reconfiguring
[12:56] <nkdoodwal> Dr_Willis: how?
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> nkdoodwal:  how to what part?
[12:57] <timothy> rhobuntu-user: whats ua gcc version?
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> nkdoodwal:  clarify exactly what your goal is..
[12:57] <Salminen> what was the argument to make cp overwrite without prompt?
[12:58] <Salminen> i suck at reading man files apparently
[12:58] <Random832> Salminen: er, the default
[12:58] <timothy> Salmien: cp overwrites without prompt unless you have set an alias
[12:58] <Pici> Salminen: -f
[12:58] <Random832> no, -f is different
[12:58] <timothy> Salminen: cp overwrites without prompt unless you have set an alias
[12:58] <astrojp> does anyone know of a pdf viewer that will let you highlight your pdf in certain areas of your document? i'm not seeing where envince or adobe is letting you do this. :/
[12:58] <Salminen> weird
[12:59] <Salminen> i had to use rm to remove an old version of the file in /usr/local/bin before it would work
[12:59] <Salminen> used sudo with my cp command too
[12:59] <nkdoodwal> i wana make bootable iso image of my installed ubuntu with all its installed programs
[12:59] <Pici> Random832: sorry, you're right.  Need more caffeine here.
[13:00] <timothy> nkdoodwal: try remastersys
[13:00] <bazhang> nkdoodwal, like a system restore iso?
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> nkdoodwal:  the linux 'live scripts' toool says it can do that.
[13:01] <peppeuz> timothy, i'm back. i was the guy with wifi adapter problem. this is the output of lspci: http://paste.ubuntu.com/506422/
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> nkdoodwal:  that would be a bootable 'live cd' that in theory has everything on it.. but that most likely will need to be a DVD actually.
[13:01] <timothy> astrojp: Highlight meaning? i thought you do that with the mouse
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> www.linux-live.org/
[13:02] <sms_> Anyone know how I can build despotify
[13:02] <Random832> cp -f will remove the file
[13:02] <zed_devil> hi guys - im abolutly new in ubuntu and linux > i have bought me a "TECHNOTREND TT-connect S2-3600 USB sat tuner" and i cant get it working - plz help me
[13:02] <nkdoodwal> ok thanks a lot
[13:03] <phil_in_london> peppeuz, does your wifi attach to the usb? don't look like theres a wireless on your pci.
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> zed_devil:  and that device does what exactly?
[13:03] <timothy> peppeuz: :Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c940 10/100/1000Base-T [Marvell] (rev 12" is ua adapter.
[13:04] <peppeuz> timothy: yes, it's plugged.  now i'm trying to plug it off and on again...
[13:04] <zed_devil> it is an external sat tuner for watching TV with mythtv for example
[13:04] <astrojp> timothy: i mean highlighting the pdf like you would with a highlighter on the dead tree version of a doc. I think Adobe Professional lets you do that, not sure though. Would like a FOSS equivalent.
[13:04] <timothy> peppeuz: what are you hoping to do?
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> zed_devil:  theres the #mythbuntu channel they are often the tv tuner experts.
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> zed_devil:  are you sure it even has linux support?
[13:05] <peppeuz> timoty: ok, sorry for the mess. I'm trying to install my usb wifi adapter.  it should be this:
[13:05] <peppeuz> timothy
[13:05] <peppeuz> Bus 001 Device 005: ID 148f:2070 Ralink Technology, Corp.
[13:06] <peppeuz> (pasted from lsusb)
[13:06] <zed_devil> they told me to seach for help in this channel because the problem is that ubuntu doesnt connect to the device
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> zed_devil:  so you have seen referance that the device is supposed to work?
[13:07] <astrojp> something like this: http://bit.ly/bk2qCj
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> zed_devil:  you did go to #mythbuntu, not #mythtv ?
[13:08] <zed_devil> yes http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TechnoTrend_TT-connect_S2-3600
[13:08] <zed_devil> i was in mythtv-users
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> zed_devil:  thats not the same as #mythbuntu :)  THeres also a mythbuntu specific forum if you are trying to use it with mythbuntu, you could try vlc or xawtv with it also I guess. I dont use tv tuners any more..
[13:09] <timothy> peppeuz: what is your kernel version?
[13:09] <zed_devil> ok i give a try thx
[13:10] <peppeuz> timothy: <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:10] <DarkStar1> trying to ssh into a windows machine but the pathway contains spaces
[13:11] <DarkStar1> how can I resolve this?
[13:11] <bazhang> zed_devil, its #ubuntu-mythtv
[13:11] <Pici> DarkStar1: Escape the spaces with backslashes or surround the entire path with quotes.
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> Its been 2+ yrs since i last messed with mythv. :)
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> DarkStar1:  what ssh server you got on a windows machine anyway?
[13:12] <DarkStar1> Dr_Willis: Thansk again dude... ye're a genius
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> I am? :)
[13:13] <DarkStar1> Well...
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> It was Pici  that answered you :)
[13:14] <timothy> peppeuz: maybe it should install the linux-firmware when you set it using the nm-applet. Have you tried connecting using that already?
[13:14] <guessswh0> So here is my problem, I was hoping that someone could help.  I'll attach the link, but if I need to explain it I would be happy to.
[13:14] <guessswh0> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1588675
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> guessswh0:  at least give a summary to the channel.
[13:15] <guessswh0> ok
[13:15] <guessswh0> My server continuously loses connectivity
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> guessswh0:  most people wont go to a url just to read the actual problem they may know nothing about. :)
[13:15] <guessswh0> Ubuntu 10.04.1
[13:15] <guessswh0> when I go to the console, I have no problems
[13:15] <guessswh0> I can apt-get and it can hit anything
[13:15] <guessswh0> or wget
[13:16] <guessswh0> the only thing this server is used for is hosting a wiki
[13:16] <rumpsy> did anybody tried to install webp
[13:16] <guessswh0> so your basic LAMP setup, apache, openssh, mysql, php
[13:16] <guessswh0> roughly every 30 minutes, I lose connectivity to the server from any workstation trying to hit it
[13:16]  * rumpsy looking help to install webp
[13:16] <guessswh0> the wiki times out and I can't even hit it via ssh
[13:16] <rhobuntu-user> Did anyone find the file?
[13:17] <guessswh0> but if I walk to the console, i am able to hit outside anywhere
[13:17] <rumpsy> rhobuntu-user: what ?
[13:17] <guessswh0> any ideas on fixing this?
[13:17] <phil_in_london> guessswh0, is there any chance that you've got power saving mode on the ethernet adapter?
[13:17] <rumpsy> rhobuntu-user: your question is not clear
[13:17] <guessswh0> it shouldn't because it worked fine for like 5 days, and then i did the latest updates to the kernel
[13:17] <guessswh0> and since then it has been doing this
[13:17] <BluesKaj> guessswh0, what kind of Lan connection ,?
[13:18] <guessswh0> wired
[13:18] <guessswh0> it has a dual NIC, but I am only using one of them at the moment
[13:18] <gbls> hi I have a question about some weird behaviour of my Ubuntu
[13:18] <guessswh0> plugged directly into wall, no devices i.e. hub.switch
[13:18] <phil_in_london> guesswho0, okay then, but the timing of your problem certainly could be caused by a power down after x minutes.
[13:18] <BluesKaj> guessswh0, with NM ? or /etc/network/interfaces?
[13:18] <heslam> hey guys. i've got a sony walkman and i've found i can only access it through rythmbox and banshee by running them with sudo from the command line. is this because the account i'm using doesn't have the right permissions? i'd like to be able to sync and manage my walkman without having to use root to do it. any suggestions?
[13:18] <guessswh0> but if that was true, it should have been happening since the beginning
[13:19] <guessswh0> shouldn't it?
[13:19] <gbls> When I use Gnome the elevated user privs dialog never comes up. With KDE it is fine. Weird hey?
[13:19] <phil_in_london> guesswho0, perhaps the update introduced power saving where it wasn't before? but if you want to rule out options without investigating, sure, I guess thats one way to go.
[13:19] <Syria> Hi, how can i restart alsa on Lucid please?
[13:19] <guessswh0> what do you mean with NM Blues?
[13:19] <guessswh0> I have it assigned a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces
[13:19] <philinux> heslam: It's likely the walkman usb drive is not owned by your user.
[13:20] <BluesKaj> network manager, guessswh0
[13:20] <guessswh0> anyway to check powersaving mode within Ubuntu phil_in_london?
[13:20] <heslam> philinux: right, thanks. i'll see if i can configure that correctly, then
[13:20] <guessswh0> Blues - didn't know there was a manager for the server OS.  i've just been editing the philes themselves, /etc/network/interfaces
[13:20] <guessswh0> and assigning the IP that way
[13:20] <gbls> syria: have you tried "service alsa"
[13:21] <guessswh0> files*
[13:21] <heslam> philinux: thanks for your help :)
[13:21] <timothy> heslam: probably you haven't assigned yourself permissions to access external devices automatically
[13:21] <bobba> Hi - I've got a kernel question.  I noticed that in 2.6.35-25-generic-pae there are two files (the abi file and the vmcoreinfo file) that are not present in the 2.6.32-25-virtual kernel.  What are the abi and vmcoreinfo files? Will it cause me any issues if they are not present?
[13:21] <Syria> gbls: No! how can i do this please?
[13:21] <phil_in_london> guessswh0, well, first place to check would be your bios.
[13:22] <BluesKaj> ok guessswh0 in /etc/hosts.allow , list the IPs that are connecting under portmap
[13:22] <gbls> syria: go to a terminal window  and type: service alsa<TAB> - where tab = the tab key
[13:22] <heslam> timothy: external devices IS checked under the "user privileges" tab (on the user settings window)
[13:22] <gbls> then you can add restart and it should restart the alsa
[13:22] <guessswh0> ok, I can look there (within the BIOS).  I'll check, but I don't think it'll be it, but it's worth eliminating that.  Blues - I'll check that too in a second, I can't at the moment because the server is down again
[13:23] <heslam> timothy: mount user-space filesystems (FUSE) is unchecked though, and i remember installing an MTP library that mentioned FUSE. i'll get back to you if i figure it out :P
[13:23] <itmustbejj> I am having some issues with nvidia twinview detecting the proper resolutions for my 2nd monitor. I tried copying the edid of my first (working) monitor but that had no effect. Can anyone take a look at my xorg.conf and offer a suggestion?
[13:23] <timothy> heslam: ok
[13:23] <n8w> hey
[13:23] <n8w> i keep gettin this error for printin in okular after upgradin to 10.10: lpr: Bad job-sheets value ""!
[13:23] <itmustbejj> http://pastebin.com/hVkyGuFW
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> itmustbejj:  is it a DVI or VGA connection?
[13:23] <guessswh0> anything else I can do/check while I am at the console?
[13:23] <gbls> anyone have any ideas on how to make my user privs dialog box work?
[13:23] <itmustbejj> Dr_willis VGA
[13:24] <heinrich> hallo
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> itmustbejj:  Hmm. all mine are lcd, dvi now a days.. i could pastebin my working xorg.conf for an example I guess.
[13:24] <koem> helo
[13:24] <gbls> itmustbejj: xorg config is a black art only practiced by the truly fearless. keep away from it
[13:25] <heinrich> wer ist da
[13:25] <phil_in_london> guessswh0, all the machines that are connecting to this server, are they dhcp? if so, is this server issuing their ip?
[13:25] <kulas27> hi, what could have happen to my notebook, I have installed intel gma500 video card driver and after rebooting it, i can no longer boot to ubuntu. Can get to grub but after selecting the ubuntu option, it will just give me a blank screen with Fsck status on the left hand corner. Has anybody experienced this?
[13:25] <koem> @heinrich: 1364 user
[13:25] <itmustbejj> gbls: haha the nvidia settings tool is all fubar, I've got no choice but to trudge into the darkness
[13:25] <gbls> itmustbejj: have you installed the NVidia driver?
[13:25] <guessswh0> yes they are receiving their IP via DHCP, but no, it is a different server that is assigning it
[13:25] <guessswh0> but they are all on the same network
[13:25] <itmustbejj> gbls yeah nvidia-common
[13:25] <DarkStar1> Anyone here use or used dyndns?
[13:26] <phil_in_london> guessswh0, okay, just wondering if maybe its dhcp lease was timing out.
[13:26] <koem> @darkstar1: me
[13:26] <gbls> itmustbejj: no i mean the serious drivers that you download from the nvidia website?
[13:26] <itmustbejj> Dr_Willis I stand corrected I am using dvi
[13:26] <guessswh0> that's what I was wondering too, but 30 minutes is just too small of an IP lease time, for server or workstations.
[13:26] <Syria> Hi, please tell me how can i restart alsa.
[13:26] <itmustbejj> gbls I did that previously
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> itmustbejj:  it shouldnt have any issues with the modes then.. heres my xorg.conf as an example.
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> itmustbejj:  http://pastebin.com/HgdvtwBv
[13:27] <phil_in_london> guess, yeah, thats what I figure too, but I figure, while you're pulling your hair out lets explore everything :)
[13:27] <guessswh0> I can possibly set the server to DHCP, and hope it would handle the automatic IP lease (in case that is the issue) but I don't want it to lose its ip address
[13:27] <phil_in_london> before its all gone!
[13:27] <guessswh0> yeah, thanks for the help too
[13:27] <fep> hello, im going to install ubuntu for the first time on this laptop in five days. should i use wubi installer or burn and install from cd? (going dual boot), and is there any difference?
