[20:14] <TwoToneSpirit> Walex: Well, thank you.  I am enjoying exploring aptitude nonetheless.  The problem is that I installed xubuntu-desktop earlier, and for some reason xfce *CRAWLED*.  It was terribly slow.  I uninstalled the package, and now gnome is slow as well.  xorg is using far more CPU than it ever used to.
[20:14] <yaris123456789> what is a good command line emule client that lets me search KAD and dl stuff.....also a good torrent client for command line ?
[20:14] <Raenr> xfix doesn't work at all
[20:14] <Raenr> same problem over and over
[20:14] <magical_walrus> Xfix did not help
[20:14] <nannes1> hi guys! I've a question
[20:14] <nannes1> Why does pidgin add  '1' at the end of my username???
[20:14] <HighLordObsi> i'm not too worried about it, I'm only trying out different linux builds...I build pc's for pofolk who can't afford one of their own...and to avoid win prollems i'm thinking about preloading it with linux instead
[20:14] <bahh> fdisk says when tape w:  Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource
[20:14] <canthus13> shaun_: Ok... Have you tried manually inputting the SSID?
[20:14] <Walex> TwoToneSpirit: looks like that the driver was changed to VESA maybe.
[20:14] <nikolaj_basher> can it be true that no one has soundblaster pro?
[20:15] <sebsebseb> Raenr  magical_walrus  your both ATI?
[20:15] <nannes1> hi guys! I've a question
[20:15] <nannes1> Why does pidgin add  '1' at the end of my username???
[20:15] <nannes1> In my client I view 'nannes', the others told me my name results  'nannes1'
[20:15] <shaun_> yeah, it failed epicly
[20:15] <Raenr> yes
[20:15] <shaun_> even tried with the mac address too
[20:15] <shaun_> again, failed
[20:15] <magical_walrus> Mhm
[20:15] <HighLordObsi> i have realtek ac97...used to have sbpro....but i threw that pc out my window
[20:15] <canthus13> shaun_: try renaming the router?
[20:15] <sebsebseb> magical_walrus:   Nivida?  ATI?  Intel?  what card you got?
[20:15] <Raenr> one card id ATI Radeon the other one is a sapphire, both 3870's
[20:15] <pepperjack> nannes1: /whois nannes  <--- that dude is using your name ;)
[20:16] <sebsebseb> !ati |  Raenr
[20:16] <TwoToneSpirit> Walex: I don't know what that means.  I remember VESA from DOS days, but I don't understand how it applies here.  How can I check to see if this is the case and if so, reverse it?
[20:16] <magical_walrus> Ati radeon 2200
[20:16] <shaun_> not tried renaming the router
[20:16]  * canthus13 has occasionally also seen routers and wireless cards that just flat-out refused to talk to each other.
[20:16] <sebsebseb> Raenr: have you been on that link before?
[20:16] <sebsebseb> !ati |  magical_walrus
[20:16] <sebsebseb> magical_walrus: same question for you, have you been on that page before
[20:16] <magical_walrus> No
[20:16] <mikefletcher85> i ran this command from terminal (ubuntu 9.04) and got a blank document, is that normal? "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[20:16] <shaun_> hey this ubuntu rocks though, well done guys
[20:17] <shaun_> love the gui, totally rocks
[20:17] <Slart> !gksudo | mikefletcher85
[20:17] <canthus13> shaun_: Good to hear.
[20:17] <Raenr> kay im checking the link
[20:17] <Raenr> can the fixes from the link be done from command line?
[20:17] <sebsebseb> magical_walrus Raenr if you don't install graphic card drivers in the recommended way things can go wrong
[20:17] <nannes1> pepperjack:  yes, but you all view nannes1 !!! I want nannes!!!
[20:17] <Slart> mikefletcher85: but no.. not normal afaik
[20:17] <HighLordObsi> I love ubuntu also...gonna try out a few other distros though...to see which one would be better for idiots like me lol

[20:17] <nikolaj_basher> Audio Playback SRS Premium Sound
[20:17] <pepperjack> mikefletcher85: id recommend gksudo for gui stuff rather than sudo but gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst should normally work assuming you are using grub as your boot loader
[20:17] <Slart> mikefletcher85: are you sure you typed it correctly? /boot and /Boot isn't the same in linux
[20:17] <sebsebseb> nikolaj_basher: uh?
[20:18] <magical_walrus> sebsebseb: So how can I fix this?
[20:18] <nannes1> pepperjack:  yes, but you all view nannes1 !!! I want nannes!!!
[20:18] <sebsebseb> magical_walrus:  don't know
[20:18] <pepperjack> nannes1: you have to register your name.  if someone has already registered nannes youre out of luck.
[20:18] <nikolaj_basher> my bad, but this was the specifications on my soundcard
[20:19] <mikefletcher85> slart, yea i always type in lowercase
[20:19] <Raenr> sebsebseb do you know if I can fix this without having to do a reinstall?
[20:19] <sebsebseb> nikolaj_basher: I assume you wanted to give that to me, but why?   also you put  sebastien
[20:19] <HighLordObsi> my father in law stupidly bought a belkin router too...it cuts out every few minutes...evil man
[20:19] <Slart> mikefletcher85: and you're using grub? not lilo or some other boot loader?
[20:19] <sebsebseb> Raenr: yep  probably, but I don't know how
[20:19] <pepperjack> !register nannes1
[20:19] <pepperjack> !register | nannes1

[20:19] <canthus13> HighLordObsi: The only good use for belkin routers is annoying wireless leeches.
[20:20] <lstarnes> nannes1: /nick nannes
[20:20] <mikefletcher85> slart, i'm pretty sure its grub, its a fresh install of 9.04
[20:20] <shaun_> which is a good editor for ubuntu in coding?
[20:20] <Raenr> kk
[20:20] <shaun_> mainly php
[20:20] <dprostran> Hello. After restart, my Ubuntu is behaving really strange. I need help
[20:20] <arber4444> hello i need a help does anyone knows how to turn off shutdown voice of startup voice
[20:20] <canthus13> shaun_: Depends.  You want GUI or terminal?
[20:20] <Slart> mikefletcher85: then it's very odd.. not really sure why it would be like that..
[20:20] <shaun_> good gui
[20:20] <TwoToneSpirit> How can I return only parts of lines in the CLI?  (ie, eliminate the first n characters of each line in output)
[20:20] <nannes1> pepperjack:  ok, but register command is -->/msg nickserv register <password> <email >
[20:20] <nannes1> so is normal that the server use 'nannes1' because is the nick I have NOW !! :'(
[20:20] <canthus13> shaun_: gedit or scite work well in the gui.
[20:20] <magical_walrus> I'm strongly considering switchig o intrepid
[20:20] <HighLordObsi> i tried to tell him to get a linksys or a netgear, but he went cheap
[20:20] <magical_walrus> To*
[20:20] <luis_> hola gente, como lo hago para irgresar a ubuntu español
[20:21] <shaun_> ty
[20:21] <sebsebseb> !es |  luis_
[20:21] <dprostran> My desktop has windows that stretch in a really excitable manner, and my workspace switcher doesn't switch with the mouse  wheel, and windows don't "dock" to each other. What's going on?
[20:21] <nikolaj_basher> sebsebseb, because I miss understod it all sorry
[20:21] <pepperjack> nannes1: youll need to do /nick newnickname or something. try something respectable like pepperjack ;p
[20:21] <sebsebseb> magical_walrus: why?
[20:21] <canthus13> shaun_: But there are dozens of different editors available.  dig around in the repos and see what you like.
[20:21] <arber4444> hello i need a help does anyone knows how to turn off shutdown voice of startup voice
[20:21] <sebsebseb> magical_walrus: ,but yes it may work better with your card
[20:21] <HighLordObsi> any ideas as to why i have no sound?
[20:21] <pepperjack> arber4444: im not sure if that is in gdmsetup but you could try 'gksudo gdmsetup' from a terminal
[20:22] <mikefletcher85> slart, omg... im an idiot... i was typing menu.list.. not menu.lst
[20:22] <luis_> como ingreso a esos canales
[20:22] <sebsebseb> magical_walrus: it will stop being supported on the desktop  next April though, but oh well  9.10 is out at the end of October,  with default Ext4 support :)  for those that clean install  (and don't optionally select some other file system that isn't Ext4)
[20:22] <canthus13> HighLordObsi: Lots of ideas.  Is it all sound, or certain sounds?
[20:22] <nikolaj_basher> HighLordObsi, what soundcard do you have?
[20:22] <pepperjack> arber4444: otherwise it would be under sounds or something in the menu sorry i dont know gnome well
[20:22] <lstarnes> luis_: /join #ubuntu-es
[20:22] <Raenr> alrighty rebooting
[20:22] <HighLordObsi> realtek ac'97 onboard sound...only sound i get is the logon ping
[20:22] <canthus13> HighLordObsi: And was it working before, or has it never worked?
[20:22] <sebsebseb> magical_walrus: clean installing is the only way to get full support
[20:22] <HighLordObsi> never in ubuntu
[20:22] <pepperjack> !sound | HighLordObsi
[20:23] <sebsebseb> magical_walrus: I read something about  having fixes for the Intel cards, so maybe your as well
[20:23] <arber4444> No i dont know what to
[20:23] <arber4444> do
[20:23] <canthus13> HighLordObsi: Hmm. check out alsamixer from the command line, make sure everything is turned up properly.
[20:23] <HighLordObsi> cool...thanks much
[20:23] <magical_walrus> Raenr what did you do?
[20:23] <nikolaj_basher> HighLordObsi, have you tried all the options in the menu configuration>sound
[20:23] <HighLordObsi> yeah
[20:23] <cardg00> how do you list all the mounted volumes on linux?
[20:24] <cardg00> is it mount -l ?
[20:24] <arber4444>  hello i need a help does anyone knows how to turn off shutdown voice of startup voice
[20:24] <HighLordObsi> all the options and all the different slider settings
[20:24] <pepperjack> cardg00: just mount
[20:24] <nikolaj_basher> I got no sound at all, soundblaster, and it sucks.....
[20:24] <canthus13> HighLordObsi: go to the command line, type alsamixer<enter>
[20:24] <bahh> I have problems while installing
[20:24] <canthus13> HighLordObsi: Make sure the outputs are turned up.
[20:24] <bahh> I created my 4 partitions ext3 with fdisk
[20:24] <bahh> and rebooted
[20:25] <canthus13> HighLordObsi: Depending on your setup, you may have multiple pages of outputs to go through.
[20:25] <bahh> when I taped w it says that the device was busy
[20:25] <geezer> Greetings.
[20:25] <sebsebseb> bahh: I remember you from earlier
[20:25] <sebsebseb> bahh: better to say your thing all in one go with all the details
[20:26] <blognewb> is there a way to hackproof filezilla if you saved your password in there? (uses sftp)
[20:26] <TwoToneSpirit> I have a long list of package names contained with lines from a cat output.  I want to strip the output to isolate the package names, which are a definite length from the beginner of each line.  How can I do this?
[20:26] <bahh> sebsebseb: oh sure here you are. Now I deleted my partition and created my 4 partitions. When I tape w fdisk says that there's an error 16. Device is busy. So I rebooted and now again when I want to install ubuntu it can't see any partition
[20:26] <mikefletcher85> slart, thanks for the help!
[20:27] <sebsebseb> bahh: maybe you got a bad hard disk
[20:27] <f3ar007> hello, i can not write to a mounted ext usb harddrive from windows vista, the mount is on ubuntu 9.04
[20:27] <|REM|> where does the diff executable live on ubuntu?
[20:27] <newbyx86> whereis diff
[20:27] <Lint> are there some normal Ubuntu installer available?
[20:27] <Pici> |REM|: which diff
[20:27] <bahh> sebsebseb: what do you mean by that?
[20:27] <geezer> I have a problem with Firefox.... previously, when I clicked on an IRC link, it would open up a dialog box and ask me if I wanted to open it with XChat... but recently, the Xchat option has been replaced by something called purple-url-handler (I presume it's related to Pidgin)... how do I get back to the way it was?
[20:27] <grawity> Lint: what do you mean "normal installer"?
[20:27] <newbyx86> $ whereis diff
[20:27] <sebsebseb> bahh: the partitions should be detected on the live cd no problem, and by the OS when you first installed
[20:27] <newbyx86> diff: /usr/bin/diff /usr/share/man/man1/diff.1.gz
[20:27] <newbyx86> (@ |REM|)
[20:27] <FloodBot2> newbyx86: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:27] <|REM|> newbyx86: Thanks!  learned a new command too =)
[20:34] <sebsebseb> bahh: by making partitions normalely
[20:34] <bahh> sebsebseb: how?
[20:34] <pepperjack> f3ar007: Kingsy101 alt-ctrl-f1 or one of the f#'s may give you more verbose output.  maybe its taking a long time on setting up network or something
[20:34] <pepperjack> f3ar007: sorry nm
[20:34] <Um_cara_qualquer> excuse me, where can i download the game "spore" for linux?
[20:34] <sebsebseb> bahh: the guided install,  or partition yourself
[20:34] <sebsebseb> bahh: on the Live CD
[20:34] <geezer> canthus13: Already did, but way too many options.... I thought I'd ask you guys for something "tried and trusted"... perhaps some minimalist widgets/screenlets
[20:35] <Dark_Wolf> anyone?
[20:35] <Zumbolt> hello, how is it possible to upgrade gnumeric to latest version in jaunty? Is only way to compile dependancies (lot) and gnumeric? Is there any easier solution?
[20:35] <bahh> sebsebseb: omg but it can't see the drive
[20:35] <Kingsy101> pepperjack - it does the same thing when I click on check CD
[20:35] <bahh> sebsebseb: that's the point
[20:35] <sebsebseb> bahh: sure
[20:35] <sebsebseb> bahh: and I think I know why
[20:35] <lstarnes> Um_cara_qualquer: it's a windows game, so you would need to run the windows version through wine or cedega
[20:35] <Kingsy101> pepperjack - it just says Loading, Please Wait... _
[20:35] <sebsebseb> bahh: it's  not useing a normal  partition table
[20:35] <sebsebseb> bahh: I think that's also the problem,  or it 's using something odd, that Ubuntu can't support
[20:35] <Um_cara_qualquer> ahhh
[20:35] <Um_cara_qualquer> :(
[20:35] <blognewb> Hello!!!! Should I choose Ubuntu 8 over jaunty? Any sound advice??!?!
[20:35] <bahh> sebsebseb: how can I fix the part table?
[20:35] <Um_cara_qualquer> lstarnes: thx anyway
[20:35] <Alvinware> Is it a bad thing to forward any ports?
[20:36] <sebsebseb> bahh: will  it show any partitions in gparted? no?
[20:36] <bahh> sebsebseb: no
[20:36] <lstarnes> blognewb: 8.04 is an LTS release, but 9.04 may have newer packages
[20:36] <sebsebseb> bahh: you can tell it to make a new partition table there though I expect.  you don't have any data on there to  backup?
[20:36] <bahh> sebsebseb: just 250 gigs unallocated
[20:36] <blognewb> lstarnes: why did they not put 9.04 as LTS? :( so what's your preference, for a noob boob likke me?
[20:37] <Alvinware> sebsebseb, Would forwarding any ports in Ubuntu affect/reduce it security?
[20:37] <lstarnes> blognewb: it's not an LTS
[20:37] <bahh> sebsebseb: I have smt like 200 gigs of data on here which I don't wanna loose
[20:37] <lstarnes> blognewb: LTS releases are only made every 2 years approximately
[20:37] <Kingsy101> can anyone help? I literally cant get it to boot using anything, anything I click from the menu brings up a Loading, Please Wait....
[20:37] <Lint> Is there some _normal_ Ubuntu installer (with package selector and not trying to format /) available?
[20:37] <pepperjack> f3ar007: i dont know much about samba.  normally when mounting fat partitions i specify a umask like mount -o umask=000 /dev/blah /mnt/blah    so that normal users can write to it
[20:37] <blognewb> oh
[20:37] <sebsebseb> lstarnes: you seem  experienced,  will  you look at  bahh 's weird partition set up as well please, if he pastebins  the file?
[20:37] <Pici> blognewb: LTSes are every two years. Each release number is the year and month is was released, so 9.04 = 2009 april
[20:37] <Kingsy101> actually thats a lie.. Memtest86+ works
[20:37] <blognewb> Pici: so did you upgrade to 9.04?
[20:38] <Alvinware> sebsebseb?
[20:38] <sebsebseb> bahh: great  well  you may have lost it already
[20:38] <Pici> blognewb: Yes.
[20:38] <lstarnes> sebsebseb: I know very little about partitioning
[20:38] <Kingsy101> pepperjack - any ideas?
[20:38] <blognewb> Pici: what do you suggest for a newb like me? same? i guess?
[20:38] <bahh> sebsebseb: are you kidding?
[20:38] <sebsebseb> bahh: well   if partitions get deleted or whatever,  the data is still there kind of
[20:38] <Pici> blognewb: I think you'll be happier in the long run win 9.04
[20:38] <blognewb> i heard some intel/nvidia hardware issues with ubuntu 9 slow graphics
[20:38] <sebsebseb> bahh: you need a program like test disk to gain access to the deleted partition
[20:38] <blognewb> is that true
[20:38] <pepperjack> Kingsy101: seems like a bad cd.  did you burn this at the slowest possible speed?  id try a new cd man sorry
[20:38] <Alvinware> sebsebseb, Would forwarding any ports affect/redure it security?
[20:39] <sebsebseb> Alvinware: ports such as?
[20:39] <sebsebseb> Alvinware: ports to be used for what?
[20:39] <bahh> sebsebseb: I can mount the win partitions and all the datas are there
[20:39] <Kingsy101> pepperjack - its not a bad CD cos I have installed ubuntu once already with it
[20:39] <Alvinware> sebsebseb, amule, and torrrent.
[20:39] <pepperjack> Kingsy101: or maybe a crappy old cdrom drive
[20:39] <Pici> blognewb: Yes, there are some issues with intel video drivers in 9.04
[20:39] <Kingsy101> hmm it shouldnt be
[20:39] <sebsebseb> Alvinware: ports in your router?
[20:39] <Dark_Wolf> Anyone have any idea what's with the graphics problems? It's been this way since 8.x
[20:40] <Alvinware> sebsebseb, yes, andin firewall too.
[20:40] <pepperjack> Kingsy101: can you boot from usb on this PC?
[20:40] <Kingsy101> pepperjack - I have no idea, I havnt tried
[20:40] <pepperjack> !unetbootin| Kingsy101 great little utility
[20:40] <sebsebseb> Alvinware:  having ports open,   can reduce security sure,   but I think usaully it's ok
[20:40] <sebsebseb> Alvinware: well in Ubuntu anyway
[20:41] <bahh> any idea?
[20:41] <pepperjack> Kingsy101: could also be something as simple as a dirty cd ;)
[20:41] <Kingsy101> pepperjack - thanks I will try that
[20:41] <Kingsy101> :)
[20:41] <sebsebseb> Alvinware: also it seems you want to download things that  your not realy meant to and so
[20:41] <sebsebseb> !piracy |  Alvinware
[20:41] <f3ar007> pepperjack: the -o umask=000 worked!
[20:41] <pepperjack> f3ar007: cool. glad that sorted it
[20:41] <NarbeH> how can i list the Opened windows in Terminal???????
[20:42] <sebsebseb> bahh: so  the Windows partitions are ok and still there?
[20:42] <Alvinware> sebsebseb getting Ubuntu ban torrent?
[20:42] <jtholt1> I have a live cd related question
[20:42] <bahh> yeah I did not touch them
[20:42] <sebsebseb> bahh: ,but the Linux  partitions are wierd?   can you access the Windows parrttion?
[20:42] <NarbeH> how can i list the Opened windows in Terminal???????
[20:42] <bahh> sebsebseb: I just deleted the old Linux partition and made the newer ones
[20:42] <HighLordObsi> grr...time to wipe the laptop drive
[20:42] <lstarnes> NarbeH: I don't think that can be done
[20:42] <bahh> sebsebseb: yes I can access the win ones
[20:43] <sebsebseb> bahh: I think it would be easier to get hold of your data, and start over properly
[20:43] <NarbeH> lstarnes: just window title. it won't be? :(
[20:43] <diddy> What is the default apache config file on Ubuntu?
[20:43] <mib_mib> can someone help me with permissions problems? I've been trying to solve this for hours now...
[20:43] <sebsebseb> bahh: What do you use Windows for?
[20:43] <bahh> sebsebseb: autocad
[20:43] <Alvinware> sebsebseb, How to fix the cannot allocate memory error, when my pidgin were auto closed by itself, sometimes, and sometimes repeatedly.
[20:43] <sebsebseb> bahh: oh
[20:43] <bahh> sebsebseb: and other important things
[20:43] <lstarnes> NarbeH: as far as I know, there is no command-line utility for that
[20:43] <Kingsy101> pepperjack - I take it USB is called "removable" in the bios ?
[20:43] <aaroninfidel> when I try to mount via SSHFS it works, but then when I try to access the volume it says access denied, any idea why this might be?
[20:43] <sebsebseb> bahh: does  autocad work in Wine or  virtual machine hmm
[20:44] <pepperjack> Kingsy101: it is usually more obvious than that.  could be
[20:44] <Alvinware> sebsebseb, How to fix the cannot allocate memory error, when my pidgin were auto closed by itself, sometimes, and sometimes repeatedly?
[20:44] <mrwes> aaroninfidel, who owns the mount point?
[20:44] <bahh> sebsebseb: not that well... I need software for 3D modelling
[20:44] <jtholt1> I want to make a livecd usb stick so I extracted the iso to the usb   installed syslinux and renamed the directory and files    now when I boot the usb stick  the usb (/dev/sdb1) is mounted as /cdrom   why is this and can I fix it?
[20:44] <fumblnoob> bahh: if that's the only copy you have of that data and it means anything to you I suggest you back it up.
[20:44] <Dark_Wolf> I'm repeating this because it's likely that nobody remembers what it said at this point: I have a Dell Inspiron 1100 with Intel integrated graphics, and it refuses to show any graphics when I booth. I've tried changing the boot options to nosplash and vga=1, and it works sometimes, but not without an external monitor. Any help? I'm on 9.04
[20:44] <sebsebseb> Alvinware: I think that means your running out of space on your Ubuntu partition or have run out
[20:45] <Kingsy101> pepperjack - hmmmm
[20:45] <Kingsy101> pepperjack - I don't think i have it then
[20:45] <bahh> fumblnoob: I'll get an hd soon
[20:45] <HighLordObsi> hmm...codecs not available for my pc type...
[20:45] <sebsebseb> mrwes:  solaris swap etc
[20:45] <jtholt1> I want to make a livecd usb stick so I extracted the iso to the usb   installed syslinux and renamed the directory and files    now when I boot the usb stick  the usb (/dev/sdb1) is mounted as /cdrom   why is this and can I fix it?
[20:45] <bahh> so there are no other ways than format?
[20:45] <mikefletcher85> gosh i hope this is the last time i have to bother you guys here... anyone have experiance with EasyBCD? I have windows 7, windows xp and Ubuntu 9.04 installed. I disabled grub and am using the vista loader. i copied the menu.lst file into EasyBCD under a NeoGrub entry. but when i try to boot it i get "file not found" i think it was error 17
[20:45] <pepperjack> Kingsy101: yeah my lappy for instance cant boot usb.. only thing i can recommend is to test the cd in another PC
[20:45] <mrwes> sebsebseb, uh?
[20:46] <Alvinware> sebsebseb, I don't think so, because i can see in my system monitor that i'm only 30% of my hd, and over 300mb of ram only.
[20:46] <sebsebseb> bahh: : the stuff you pm'd   last time  I   saw something like that,  was when  I tried to do archlinux in a vm, and  was making partitions  in cfdisk or whatever it's called
[20:46] <pepperjack> Dark_Wolf: could be maybe just the resolution is out of range of the lcd?  is this a fairly old laptop? like 1024x768 res?
[20:46] <aaroninfidel> mrwes dreamhost, its my shared web server.
[20:46] <sebsebseb> mrwes: pm'd you by mistake not sure why, when meant to have done bahh
[20:46] <Dark_Wolf> pepperjack, yes.
[20:46] <Alvinware> sebsebseb, What could be the problem, and fix?
[20:46] <sebsebseb> mrwes: pm'd uh messaged
[20:46] <jtholt1> I want to make a livecd usb stick so I extracted the iso to the usb   installed syslinux and renamed the directory and files    now when I boot the usb stick  the usb (/dev/sdb1) is mounted as /cdrom   why is this and can I fix it?
[20:46] <sebsebseb> mrwes: in here
[20:46] <enzotib> NarbeH: install wmctrl and use the command wmctrl -l
[20:46] <mrwes> shrug
[20:47] <Dark_Wolf> pepperjack: 1024x768 is still standard. I don't see why Ubuntu would have the default at anything larger.
[20:47] <sebsebseb> bahh: not sure if Ubuntu calls it  solaris swap ever,   it just seems odd to me
[20:47] <bahh> sebsebseb: I dunno... seems strange that there's nothin to do
[20:47] <mrwes> aaroninfidel, you are trying to mount a share via sshfs on your computer or what?
[20:47] <jtholt1> can anyone help me
[20:47] <HighLordObsi> ahh well... c'est la vie
[20:47] <Kingsy101> pepperjack - and what would you suggest if the CD isnt faulty ?
[20:47] <bahh> sebsebseb: it does... it was my old swap partition created with gparted
[20:47] <sebsebseb> bahh: and you got all your sda's in order even from 1 to 8,  Ubuntu doesn't normalley do that
[20:47] <pepperjack> Dark_Wolf: try alt-ctrl-f2 then login then sudo X -congfigure   <-- this should generate an xorg.conf file. you can then sudo mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf  and then when you have that done we can try to asssign a resolution
[20:47] <sebsebseb> bahh: normalely Ubuntu skips  sda  3 4 and 5 or something
[20:48] <jtholt1> anyone?
[20:48] <bahh> sebsebseb: think that there's also win
[20:48] <need> hi
[20:48] <pepperjack> Kingsy101: yeah. if that is the case i have had a lot of bad cd rom drives esp in older laptops
[20:48] <sebsebseb> bahh: doesn't matter I was talking when  dual booting
[20:48] <TwoToneSpirit> !modules
[20:48] <sebsebseb> anyone good at  helping with  weird partiton set ups?  If so help bahh  please
[20:48] <Dark_Wolf> pepperjack: For some reason, it stayed on graphical when I did that.
[20:48] <luis_> como entro a alguna sala española
[20:48] <HighLordObsi> i definitely need to go with the 64 bit version
[20:49] <jtholt1> can anyone help me please
[20:49] <Dark_Wolf> pepperjack: okay, I tried it again, and now the display died.
[20:49] <Alvinware> sebsebseb, Can i deactivate the action scheduler services (anacron, atd, and cron)?
[20:49] <TwoToneSpirit> What is the authoritative list of kernel modules and their function?
[20:49] <pepperjack> Dark_Wolf: can you login to the command line?
[20:49] <mikefletcher85> anyone have experiance with EasyBCD? I have windows 7, windows xp and Ubuntu 9.04 installed. I disabled grub and am using the vista loader. i copied the menu.lst file into EasyBCD under a NeoGrub entry. but when i try to boot it i get "file not found" i think it was error 17
[20:49] <Dark_Wolf> pepperjack, no, it's blank
[20:49] <sebsebseb> Alvinware: I guess so, but probably best to leave them on
[20:49] <jtholt> I want to make a livecd usb stick so I extracted the iso to the usb   installed syslinux and renamed the directory and files    now when I boot the usb stick  the usb (/dev/sdb1) is mounted as /cdrom   why is this and can I fix it?   PLEASE HELP
[20:49] <bahh> gotta go now
[20:49] <deany> jtholt1, you need the img.  dd if=file.img of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1M
[20:49] <pepperjack> Dark_Wolf: arg... try alt-f1
[20:50] <Alvinware> sebsebseb, what was those services got?
[20:50] <bahh> this problem is really impossible to solve
[20:50] <bahh> damn it
[20:50] <deany> jtholt1, or use unetbootin
[20:50] <sebsebseb> Alvinware: I am not sure what they are used for
[20:50] <Dark_Wolf> pepperjack: Blank
[20:50] <sebsebseb> bahh: nah
[20:50] <sebsebseb> bahh: I think re installing Windows and then putting Ubuntu on again, is the way to do it
[20:50] <sebsebseb> bahh: or something
[20:50] <deany> !liveusb | jtholt
[20:50] <deany> doh
[20:50] <bahh> sebsebseb: eheheh I know.... but I didn't want to format -.-
[20:50] <pepperjack> Dark_Wolf: badness.. you could boot into recover mode (keep tapping esc key during boot to get to menu) then in recovery mode do this stuff
[20:50] <sexy-coder-girl> I posted a detailed tut on how to install Dell 1320c Color Laser printer on Ubuntu in case someone wants to link to it or something. Thanks everyone for help! http://zoffix.com/random/install-Dell-1320c-color-laser-printer-on-Ubuntu
[20:50] <sebsebseb> !dualboot |  bahh
[20:51] <deany> !usb| jtholt
[20:51] <jtholt> I set this all up form windows   as I dont have a cd  burner right  now    The system boots but it mounts the usb stick as   cdrom   i ave no idea wht
[20:51] <jtholt> why **
[20:51] <bahh> sebsebseb: I have the dualboot system installed since ubuntu edition 5
[20:51] <bahh> sebsebseb: never formatted...
[20:51] <Dark_Wolf> pepperjack: I can boot with an external monitor just fine, but it I try switching TTY, it dies
[20:51] <sebsebseb> bahh: well I don't know what you have done
[20:51] <sebsebseb> bahh: it seems odd though
[20:52] <sebsebseb> bahh: or maybe it's ok, it's just it seems odd to me, since I haven't partitioned with commands before
[20:52] <sebsebseb> bahh: ,but either way,  your Ubuntu partitions won't boot up now
[20:52] <bahh> sebsebseb: that's the point... need someone who knows commands
[20:52] <sebsebseb> bahh: ##linux  I guess  and sometimes here
[20:52] <bahh> sebsebseb: that's sure... I deleted the old part
[20:52] <sebsebseb> bahh: for the partitioning commands
[20:53] <pepperjack> Dark_Wolf: oh.  nm then.  could you have this set in the bios?  sometimes you can set default video
[20:53] <bahh> k bb
[20:53] <Dark_Wolf> pepperjack, nope. Had this problem for several years on different distros
[20:53] <Dark_Wolf> pepperjack: I'm in the command line, which is running at 640x480
[20:54] <Dark_Wolf> pepperjack: Okay... I did what you said, and when I went to test the X server, it died/
[20:55] <yannick__> bnj
[20:55] <pepperjack> Dark_Wolf: did it give a reason? in /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[20:55] <jtholt> I don't want to install it to my hard drive I want it to run form the USB always (using persistence)     It all works except for the mount point of /dev/hdb1/
[20:55] <Dark_Wolf> pepperjack: It didn't actually kill the server, it just went blank
[20:56] <Dark_Wolf> pepperjack: I couldn't change to TTY2, either
[20:56] <QAH> Is it possible to do a guided install for Ubuntu server edition on a second hdd partition?
[20:56] <Dark_Wolf> I heard that everyone with this laptop has this problem
[20:56] <pepperjack> Dark_Wolf: what model?
[20:56] <Dark_Wolf> Dell Inspiron 1100
[20:56] <jtholt> I don't want to install it to my hard drive I want it to run form the USB always (using persistence)     It all works except for the mount point of /dev/hdb1/
[20:57] <brorjonas> hj
[20:57] <zk> How do i compile a kernel with same version as ubuntu one? i have the correct GIT BRANCH but i can't figure out the fakeroot make-kpkg right version commands
[20:57] <rifrullo> hello
[20:57] <rifrullo> hi
[20:58] <stefg> !kernel | zk
[20:58] <rifrullo> is there somebody in here?
[20:58] <zk> ,stefg already looked that...doesn't explain my question
[20:58] <HighLordObsi> lol
[20:58] <pepperjack> Dark_Wolf: what about with this xorg.conf file?  http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=1293&d=1117937644
[20:58] <jtholt> I don't want to install it to my hard drive I want it to run form the USB always (using persistence)     It all works except for the mount point of /dev/hdb1/ it mounts as /cdrom on startup and i cant fix it   any ideas??
[20:58] <Kingsy101> pepperjack - I have changed that CD-ROM drive over..
[20:59] <sterna> i have a funny problem with a vaio p... it hangs until i press a key
[20:59] <Kingsy101> and now when I click on install ubuntu it comes up with a trace and then stops
[20:59] <sterna> and then continues normally
[20:59] <Kingsy101> pepperjack - ever heard of something like that before?
[20:59] <sterna> if i don't press a key, it remains dog slow
[20:59] <Dark_Wolf> pepperjack: it's a little upsetting that Ubuntu doesn't work out of the box :/
[20:59] <sterna> how would something similar possibly occur?
[21:00] <Dark_Wolf> pepperjack: But I suppose that happens with open source
[21:00] <HighLordObsi> holy crap, i wish i had a/c in my office
[21:00] <QAH> Can ubuntu server 9.10 do a guided install on a second partition?
[21:00] <pepperjack> Dark_Wolf: seems to be an easy fix. but youre right it will entail some extra setup
[21:00] <chiques> No AC needed here in SoCal by the beach
[21:01] <mikefletcher85> when i try to select ubuntu at the boot loader screen (grub4dos) i get "error 17: file not found" I'm using EasyBCD and added the entry using NeoGrub, here is the config file for NeoGrub: http://pastebin.com/d6d76f9c0
[21:01] <pepperjack> Kingsy101: are you sure there isnt some dried ketchsup or something on the bottom of this cd? ;p
[21:01] <zk> anyone can help with the kernel compiling with the same version of ubuntu? i need to have the exact same version .deb package compiled by me with my patches...  Same version so i can still use the restricted modules
[21:02] <Kingsy101> pepperjack - I resetted and now its doing the same thing, just stopping on the loading please wait
[21:02] <Gumby> fll/j #ubuntu+1
[21:02] <Gumby> errr
[21:02] <Gumby> oops
[21:02] <Kingsy101> could this be some kinda hardware failure?
[21:02] <danbhfive> zk: I think you can get the source from linux-source
[21:02] <torben__> Anyone good at configuring displays with Nvidia/Gnome ?! :)
[21:03] <Slart> torben__: just describe your problem.. if someone can help they usually do
[21:03] <Dr_Willis> torben__:  gksudo nvidia-settings and go to town.,.,..
[21:03] <mib_mib> is www-data a user?
[21:03] <Slart> torben__: and nvidia with gnome is a very common setup
[21:03] <helper> zk why u wanna compile kernel?
[21:03] <zk> danbhfive, i got the right source from git but when i compile it with fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=generic kernel_image kernel_headers     I always get the wrong version
[21:03] <Lint> is there some lighter browser than firefox in ubuntu?
[21:03] <Ose_> on http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=7488222 is says:
[21:03] <Ose_> you then take this and connect using
[21:03] <Ose_>
[21:03] <pepperjack> Lint: most any of them
[21:03] <Ose_> "btsp://002856beb8kf"
[21:03] <FloodBot2> Ose_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:03] <zk> helper, because i need to patch it but still mantain the restricted modules available
[21:04] <pepperjack> Lint: links2 dillo epiphany to name a few in order of features
[21:04] <Ose_> grr, stupid Konversation auto-sends when I paste...
[21:04] <danbhfive> zk: yeah, I dunno.  Maybe you need to get it from linux-source, and not git
[21:04] <torben__> Slart: Yeah... But I can't seem to make my dream come true ;). I'll try to SUDO the Nvidia settings. That way I guess I can modify the xorg.conf aftwards...
[21:04] <Ose_> can anyone tell me how to connect to "btsp://002856beb8kf"  ?
[21:04] <blaz_> is it OK to use sysv-rc-conf on 9.04? looking for console tool to configure services.
[21:04] <Slart> mib_mib: yes, www-data is a user
[21:05] <Slart> torben__: I don't really think it will matter in this case.. but use gksudo for gui stuff.. and running it as root allows you to save the settings you change.. either way you'll be able to edit the configuration file afterwards
[21:05] <Drained> on windows, windows media player can be put on the "taskbar" does ubuntu have anything similar to that?
[21:05] <danbhfive> Lint: kahekazi and epiphany i think
[21:05] <paul_LOD> anyone use downthemall? I have a problem with it: When I download files to a destination folder   the links of each page are broken. The href src  tags point to hard paths of the sites url structure.
[21:06] <Slart> Drained: vlc can be minimized to the task tray.. not sure about other media players
[21:06] <Dr_Willis> Drained:  theres dozens of media players for linux.. and yes some proberly have that feature.
[21:06] <Drained> ok thanks.
[21:06] <deany> Drained, exaile has that function/plugin.  not sure about others.
[21:06] <Cube> ok somebody please tell me how come that DIGIKAM beats the crap out of EVERYTHING i managed to find for gnome in terms of just VIEWING and FLIPPING through a folder of pictures? i mean in digikam, on a 1,6ghz netbook i have, its like less than a second. EVERYTHING else i found, including: fspot, mirage, gpicview (which claims to be super fast, yeah right), yeah even gthumb is slower! is digikam using magic!?!?
[21:06] <Dr_Willis> Cube:  or a fancy cacheing system
[21:06] <TwoToneSpirit> Is there an easy way to "rewind" everything about my system config?  Some kind of system restore?
[21:06] <thellion> drained, rythembox does
[21:07] <Drained> does it? i can't find the option.
[21:07] <pepperjack> Cube: gqview is a slick little viewer.  feh is really lightweight but hasnt really an interface
[21:07] <Slart> Cube: I hope they share some of that magic with the gnome developers.. I find nautilus hopeless when it comes to browsing directories with many files.. especially images
[21:07] <stefg> !backup | TwoToneSpirit
[21:07] <deany> Cube, i use gthumb
[21:07] <Cube> Dr_Willis: well good! so is there a nice app for gnome that can do that?
[21:07] <thellion> drained, well it minimizes to top right and can be controled from there
[21:07] <Slart> TwoToneSpirit: nothing like system restore.. unless you've set it up yourself
[21:07] <Cube> pepperjack: its nice, but its not as fast as digikam - my only criteria
[21:07] <deany> Cube, oops, just read the whole of your post :)
[21:07] <Drained> thellion: it stays on the task bar, which annoys me lol.
[21:08] <Cube> Slart: cant agree more
[21:08] <Cube> deany: yeah :P
[21:08] <HighLordObsi> good lord, i just fell asleep :o
[21:08] <Cube> HighLordObsi: on your keyboard?
[21:08] <deany> Cube, I loved acdsee in windows.. works in wine too, version 2.1
[21:08] <TwoToneSpirit> slart: Yeah that's what I figured.
[21:08] <mus> how do i get ndiswrapper onto a box without net access?
[21:08] <nibbllll_> !ati
[21:08] <Line> hello i am trying to run a process from a ssh session with the & parameter to keep it running after ending my session, but it closes shortly afterwards. hiw can i fix this?
[21:08] <Slart> mus: you can use aptoncd or use the "generate a download script" in synaptic
[21:08] <Ose_> on http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=7488222 is says: 'you then take this and connect using "btsp://002856beb8kf" ' - how do I connect to btsp? it looks like a protocol but firefox doesn't like it?
[21:08] <HighLordObsi> no my head hangin behind me......now it hurts :o
[21:08] <thellion> drained, right click the icon and uncheck "show player"
[21:09] <Drained> thellion: thanks.
[21:09] <deany> Cube, tried gwenview?
[21:09] <mus> Slart: ta
[21:09] <stefg> !screen | Line
[21:09] <Cube> deany: now the funny thing is, that PICASA, which is also using wine, is very fast too (probably just as fast as digikam). isnt that kinda defeating the purpose? non-gnome apps beating gnome-apps?
[21:09] <Dark_Wolf> pepperjack: I copied that new configuration to the system, and I still have no video
[21:09] <Slart> Line: & won't keep a process alive if you kill the parent (the shell)
[21:09] <Cube> deany: nope, gonna give it a try now
[21:09] <TwoToneSpirit> anybody here use docky?  My docky is unbelievably slow.
[21:09] <nibbllll_> is it possible to use older ati graphics cards (x1400) on ubuntu 9.04? when 9.04 came out, it wasn't?
[21:09] <Slart> Line: at least it didn't when I last tried that
[21:10] <whoder> Hey guys now for some reason if a mount an hdd with my main user, and then go to a guest account or any other account they can access the filesystems that I have mounted. This did not happen before. How can i fix it? It is a huge problem. thanks
[21:10] <whoder> Im using 9.05
[21:10] <whoder> 9.04
[21:10] <mib_mib> if i want apache to write a file at /home/me/path/finalfolder , do all the folders from /home to /finalfolder have to have 761 permissions?
[21:10] <Line> Start: i am trying to run this program remotely via my iphone, can u use and ssh program to connect to the screen daemon?
[21:10] <lstarnes> :q!
[21:10] <lstarnes> oops
[21:10] <helper> what does tar --exclude=/sys , (--exclude mean copy everything from it? most this use for backup) thanks
[21:11] <Razizsta> Hi al
[21:11] <Razizsta> all*
[21:11] <Dark_Wolf> whoder: How in the world do you have 9.05? It's not even out O-o
[21:11] <Di0z> !es
[21:11] <Slart> helper: I think exclude means to not copy stuff from that directory.. /sys doesn't contain real files..
[21:11] <Razizsta> I need help
[21:11] <lstarnes> helper: that includes everything except the contents of /sys
[21:11] <Razizsta> My voice is too low
[21:11] <whoder> Dark_Wolf,  it was a typo which  I immediately corrected...
[21:12] <helper> lstarnes , Slart thx :)
[21:12] <Slart> helper: or ... rather.. they are files.. but not files as in "files you'd want to backup". They are created at runtime
[21:12] <HighLordObsi> i need help too, but i'm scared of straight jackets and rubber rooms
[21:12] <Dark_Wolf> I didn't see it xD
[21:12] <Dark_Wolf> my bad
[21:12] <Slart> helper: you're welcome
[21:12] <Dark_Wolf> pepperjack: still alive?
[21:12] <Razizsta> No one to help :S
[21:13] <blaz_> Slart: I think when you kill the parent console with ctrl+d, child process continues running. why??
[21:13] <HighLordObsi> :D
[21:13] <HighLordObsi> plenty of people to help
[21:13] <Razizsta> My Volume is too low
[21:13] <Razizsta> How to increase it?
[21:13] <Cryptic_Donkey> Razizsta, what is it you need help with/
[21:13] <Razizsta> Read up
[21:13] <Slart> blaz_: oh.. Ctrl+D.. never used that...what is it?
[21:14] <HighLordObsi> have you tried the obvious?
[21:14] <Slart> blaz_: ah.. it's the same thing as typing "exit".. and yes.. that keeps the process running
[21:14] <Razizsta> You are talking to me, please use @ username
[21:14] <hackel> For some reason, Rhythmbox is stopping after playing each file.  It's not paused, it still shows it is playing, it just does not play.  If I move the slider at all, it will start playing fine.  Any idea why this might be happening?
[21:14] <blaz_> Slart: me think it is the same as typing 'exit' in the shell
[21:15] <blaz_> Slart: but when you use a mouse, child dies. weird.
[21:15] <Cube> deany: this is ridiculous. thanks for pointing me to that app, its just as fast as digikam. but its kde beating gnome on a gnome desktop? wow
[21:15] <mus> slart: the generate a download script feature requires a *nix box online right? how assuming i can only get online via windows, is there another way?
[21:15] <HighLordObsi> @ Razizsta: sorry about that...have you tried the obvious...my sound issues were stupid as i hadn't turned it up in the volume control
[21:16] <whoder> Hey guys now for some reason if a mount an hdd with my main user, and then go to a guest account or any other account they can access the filesystems that I have mounted. This did not happen before. How can i fix it? It is a huge problem. thanks Im using 9.04
[21:16] <Slart> blaz_: yes.. I think clicking the X kills gnome-terminal.. which then does nasty things to bash.. typing exit will make bash exit nicely (including letting processes keep running by assigning new parent processes and such).. then when bash is done gnome-terminal exits
[21:16] <Razizsta> @HighLord What is that, obvious
[21:17] <Slart> mus: the download script is a pretty simplistic text file.. it runs wget with some urls.. if you download wget for windows and puts that in the same folder as the script it should run on a windows box too
[21:17] <HighLordObsi> @Razizsta: what build you using?
[21:17] <mus> slart: ah great stuff cheers
[21:17] <Slart> mus: you're welcome
[21:17] <Razizsta> @HighLord What are you saying man??
[21:17] <Raenir> Okay so I read the instructions and it won't work
[21:18] <Raenir> "insmod: can't read 'fglrx.ko': No such file or directory"
[21:18] <HighLordObsi> @Raz: I'm asking which os you're running
[21:18] <Raenir> that file does not exist so the command to get the propierity drivers won't work, why is the file missing?
[21:18] <lstarnes> Raenir: what about sudo modprobe fglrx?
[21:19] <blaz_> Slart: makes sense
[21:19] <Raenir> What does modprobe do?
[21:19] <Angel_S> buenas tardes!
[21:19] <lstarnes> Raenir: it manages kernel modules
[21:20] <Raenir> says not permitted
[21:20] <Pixelmann_> hey guys
[21:20] <Pixelmann_> i have a question
[21:20] <deany> Cube, yeah its sad when a windows app even in wine beats a gnome app in gnome
[21:20] <Slart> Pixelmann_: ask away
[21:20] <lstarnes> Raenir: did it work with sudo?
[21:20] <Raenir> raenir@raenir-desktop:~$ sudo modprobe fglrx
[21:20] <Raenir> FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.28-14-generic/updates/dkms/fglrx.ko): Operation not permitted
[21:20] <stefg> !ask
[21:20] <Pixelmann_> why does x-chat-gnome isntallation work
[21:20] <Pixelmann_> but the normal one doesn't?
[21:21] <Dark_Wolf> pepperjack: Now I have no display, even on the external now.
[21:21] <Slart> Pixelmann_: the normal one doesn't work? how does it "not work" ? error messages?
[21:22] <stefg> !does not work
[21:22] <Pixelmann_> oh, I just can't install it wait
[21:22] <stefg> !doesnotwork
[21:22] <pepperjack> Dark_Wolf: tried rebooting w/out external monitor attached?
[21:22] <Cube> deany: yeah, + a kde app too
[21:22] <Pixelmann_> sry my fault
[21:22] <Dark_Wolf> pepperjack, yeah.
[21:22] <Slart> !doesntwork
[21:22] <slupek> hwo use gammu and firebird?
[21:22] <Curtis_B> i know that i can put a shell script in /bin if i want to be able to run it everywhere, where can i put a script so only my user can run it everywhere
[21:22] <stefg> ... where did this useful factoid disappear?
[21:23] <Slart> Curtis_B: try in ~/bin
[21:23] <Slart> Curtis_B: I think that directory is included in the path even if it doesn't exist
[21:23] <Pixelmann_> so i type 'sudo apt-get install xchat' and get this:
[21:23] <Pixelmann_> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[21:23] <Slart> stefg: it's !doesntwork
[21:23] <stefg> !doesntwork
[21:23] <stefg> thx
[21:23] <Raenir> Yar, the instructions on the Ubuntu documents page says to run 2 commands after activating prop drivers for ATI but the second command doesn't work! File does not exist and Modprobe did not work
[21:24] <Guest34688> does anybody know how to burn a dvd video from ubuntu linux

[21:24] <Curtis_B> Slart, thanks, but that doesn't seem to work
[21:24] <Slart> Guest94435: try devede .. it has a nice point'n'click interface, does menus, converts videos and such
[21:25] <Raenir> Can anyone help me with installing my drivers?
[21:25] <Slart> Curtis_B: oh.. I really thought it did...hmmm.. you could create a symlink and limit the permissions.. that might work?
[21:25] <Drained> hey guys, i noticed that kernel 11, was present after i updated ubuntu whats up with that? theres 11, and 14

[21:26] <Paulos> hello all
[21:26] <Dark_Wolf> jond: Slart suggested devede
[21:26] <xangua> jond: brasero ¿¿
[21:26] <Slart> Curtis_B: can't you just add ~/bin to the users path?
[21:27] <fumblnoob> !piracy | jond
[21:27] <whoder> Hey guys now for some reason if a mount an hdd with my main user, and then go to a guest account or any other account they can access the filesystems that I have mounted. This did not happen before. How can i fix it? It is a huge problem. thanks Im using 9.04
[21:27] <jond> i have KTorrent
[21:27] <deany> Cube, dont know.
[21:27] <Raenir> My flgrx file is missing, if I log out I won't have a desktop when I log back in, I was told to use this page and I have done so, does anyone at all know why the fglrx file is missing and how I can fix it so I wont end up losing my desktop?\

[21:29] <Dark_Wolf> pepperjack: Any other suggestions?
[21:29] <Paulos> i was told tho i should use wine ver 1.1.24 , not 1.1.26 .. so im trying to down-grade
[21:29] <jond> dont use wine
[21:29] <Paulos> what should i use then
[21:29] <jond> it is not good
[21:30] <Paulos> dont say crossover
[21:30] <Raenir> yeah seriously man dont say "dont use wine" and not give an alternative
[21:30] <nibbler_> Paulos: i thought there was a linux client for eve, has this been discontinued?
[21:30] <Raenir> yes
[21:30] <jond> wine is for people who tsill like windows
[21:30] <Paulos> yeah nibbler
[21:30] <Raenir> discontinued and nolonger supported at this time
[21:30] <Curtis_B> Slart, it appears ~/bin does work, I just had to log out / in, thanks
[21:30] <Paulos> :(
[21:30] <xangua> then use vbox
[21:30] <Paulos> they stoped support
[21:30] <Paulos> hmm vbox
[21:31] <Paulos> whats vboc
[21:31] <nibbler_> jond: i would not say that. wine is for ppl who like to play games
[21:31] <Dark_Wolf> jond: WINE runs fine.
[21:31] <Paulos> box*
[21:31] <HighLordObsi> i'm running ubuntu on vbox atm
[21:31] <Slart> Curtis_B: ahh.. great.. my faith in linux is restored.. thanks =)
[21:31] <Ose_> anybody here who can help me with a bluetooth/anyRemote/'btsp://'-question?
[21:31] <VCoolio> Curtis_B: if I create ~/bin that is automatically in $path?
[21:32] <jond> wine is not good for me.i am a x window user who is now a ubuntu linux
[21:32] <Raenir> Can anyone help me with installing my graphics drivers please? So far it seems EVERYTHING in the official documentation doesn't work at all for me
[21:32] <lstarnes> VCoolio: you could manually add it to $PATH
[21:32] <Raenir> Everything is made of explodium
[21:32] <Cube> whats the difference between gwenview and gwenview-kde4?
[21:32] <VCoolio> lstarnes: I know it's what I did with my current scripts folder, but that kind of info always good to know
[21:32] <Dark_Wolf> Cube, One is made for KDE, one is not
[21:32] <Paulos> ok gonna give it a try , downloading the 64bit ver now
[21:32] <Ooook> can someone help me out with flash on ubuntu?
[21:32] <jond> also wine has games that you need to pay for
[21:33] <Ooook> the audio for youtube / flash isn't working
[21:33] <Raenir> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` doesn't work
[21:33] <Slart> Curtis_B: sounds like gweview is made for gnome... so gwenview-kde might be adapted for KDE?.. just a guess
[21:33] <Raenir> technically it runs but doesnt do anything
[21:33] <Dark_Wolf> jond: WINE has nothing at all, actually. It's used to install and run windows apps on linux.
[21:33] <Raenir> as sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko is get the error that access is denied/file does not exist blah bla
[21:33] <fumblnoob> Ooook: are you running 64bit ubuntu?
[21:33] <Raenir> WINE is not an Emulator
[21:33] <Cube> Dark_Wolf: : well, im on ubuntu with gnome, so how will that affect me?
[21:33] <Ooook> uhh I don't believe so
[21:33] <Ooook> How would I find that out?
[21:33] <nibbler_> jond: well, for those who want to play a specific game... wine is an option. yes, its not necesarily free
[21:34] <Dark_Wolf> Cube: Install the one without the -kde4?
[21:34] <Ooook> I should be using 32 bit I believe.
[21:34] <cake_baker> hi
[21:34] <Paulos> hi cake
[21:34] <Cube> Dark_Wolf: kk
[21:34] <cake_baker> i've got a strange problem, couldn't find a solution using Google
[21:34] <kykyzachariah> can someone help me install a ppa
[21:35] <Ooook> I really tried reinstalling the plugin like 6 times..
[21:35] <Flannel> Cube, Dark_Wolf: gwenview is a KDE program.  "gwenview" is for KDE3, gwenview-kde4 is for KDE4.
[21:35] <xangua> kykyzachariah: the instructions are in Launchpad web
[21:35] <Dark_Wolf> ah
[21:35] <cake_baker> does anyone know something about the integrated microphone of Dell XPS M1330 laptop on Xubuntu 9.04 64 bits?
[21:35] <Ooook> I eventually got the flash to work but the sound isn't coming out.
[21:35] <kykyzachariah> im looking but cant find them
[21:35] <kykyzachariah> i know to use apt-get but i dunno what the file name is
[21:35] <xangua> jum.....................
[21:35] <Flannel> Cube, Dark_Wolf: Installing a KDE program in Gnome isn't the end of the world, you'll just drag in some KDE libraries, so it'll have a little bit more of a RAM cost when running (since you have gnome and KDE libs in memory)
[21:35] <hackel> cake_baker, what about it?  I believe it's the same as on my 1530...
[21:35] <fumblnoob> Ooook: do you have sound with other apps?
[21:35] <cake_baker> it just doesn't work
[21:35] <cake_baker> i dunno why
[21:36] <Ooook> fumblnoob: yeah
[21:36] <cake_baker> and it's quite problematic for using Skype ....
[21:36] <deany> Cube, installin gwenview installs v4 of it
[21:36] <deany> Cube, well it did for me...
[21:36] <Kai`> kykyzachariah, sudo apt-cache search <pkg>
[21:36] <Cube> Flannel: and the funny thing is, the gwenview with extra-kde libs loaded on gnome is still faster than native gnome apps...
[21:36] <xangua> kykyzachariah: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 12345678 ; replace the numbers with the key or that ppa
[21:36] <cake_baker> when i was in 32 bits .... the microphone worked out of box
[21:36] <hackel> cake_baker, you have to select it in the mixer.
[21:36] <nibbler_> btw, any suggestion for a nice tex editor in gnome? right now using kile....
[21:36] <hackel> cake_baker, Digital Input Source: Digital Mic 1.
[21:36] <cake_baker> i did that
[21:37] <deany> Cube, last time I used it was while ago as this is a lot different than kde3 version.
[21:37] <kykyzachariah> thank you
[21:37] <efu> How is network manager supposed to show me available mobile broadband connections, or error messages? I make a connection, and nothing happens. I have no idea if theres something wrong with my connection settings, or if the modem driver isn't working. No response at all. Any hints on where I can look?
[21:37] <helper> xangua Sorry, for what apt-key adv use for ? thanks
[21:37] <mib_mib> has anyone had problems with python imaging library PIL on ubuntu?
[21:37] <Paulos> ok ive just installed vbox ... now where has it installed it too... wheres the folder
[21:37] <nibbler_> efu: check /var/log/syslog
[21:37] <Dark_Wolf> Okay, everyone, since pepperjack seems to have died. Can anyone help me fix my graphics? I have a Dell Inspiron 1100 running 9.04 and when I boot, I get nothing but a blank screen after all the text (I have nosplash set). It's okay if I use an external monitor sometimes, but after swtiching to another TTY, the display goes blank again.
[21:37] <Dr_Willis> Paulos:  it has an icon in apps->acessoris
[21:37] <efu> nibbler_, thanks will try that now
[21:38] <hackel> cake_baker, are you able to record using Sound Recorder?  It may be an issue relating to Skype or Pulseaudio.  Running crappy proprietary apps, especially 32-bit ones, is not foolproof.
[21:38] <Slart> Paulos: it's probably a little all over the place.. look the application menu.. you don't find virtualbox anywhere?
[21:38] <xangua> helper: jum don know, those are the instructions in launchpad :-S
[21:38] <Paulos> ok ty Dr
[21:38] <xangua> don't*
[21:38] <cake_baker> nope can't record any sound on Sound Recorder either hackel
[21:38] <Ooook> And I use youtube quite a lot, so this is a big downer.
[21:38] <nibbler_> efu: and for config, right click the icon, edit connections, and add stuff to mobile broadband
[21:38] <cake_baker> i've thought about it too ><
[21:38] <Cube> deany: kkthx
[21:38] <Ooook> :<
[21:38] <Paulos> its not in there Dr -_-;
[21:39] <Dr_Willis> Paulos:  via command line its 'virtualbox'
[21:39] <Paulos> ok
[21:39] <fumblnoob> Ooook: sudo grep pulseaudio /var/log/syslog and see if you are getting errors there, pretty sure it logs there
[21:39] <maxxle> Hello! I wonder what is the better way to create an encryptet filesystem. Create the container on device basis /dev/sdx or on partition basis /dev/sdx1?
[21:39] <Raenir> can anyone help me with my graphics drivers
[21:39] <Ooook> hmm alright
[21:39] <dash__> is there any way to run a chkdsk from ubuntu? as in an actual chkdsk not just ntfsfix?
[21:39] <Raenir> the official documentation doesnt work
[21:40] <Dr_Willis> dash__:  to properly 'fix' a ntfs filesystem - use windows..
[21:40] <hackel> cake_baker, hmm, well in my case it's working fine now, but I have had lots of mixer issues in the past.  Usually was able to make it work, though.  Input source should be set to mic, "front mic" actually means the mic jack.  Make sure capture 1 is toggled for record and turned up, etc...
[21:40] <Ooook> fumblnoob, module-alsa-sink.c: Error opening PCM device front:0: Device or resource busy
[21:40] <Ooook> is what I keep getting.
[21:40] <Ooook> `-`;
[21:40] <dash__> would it be a bad idea to run a recovery console in vmware?
[21:40] <nibbler_> maxxle: as you might want to have an unecrypted /boot, partitions might be useful
[21:40] <Ooook> I'm also running XMMS alongside.
[21:40] <deany> Cube, personally i`d use acdsee in wine but wine doesnt like the radeon driver, makes it lockup after x amount of time when using graphical apps like that.  when I had fglrx support (in 8.10) it was fine....
[21:40] <cake_baker> thanks hackel
[21:41] <cake_baker> would it be possible to have pictures of all tabs of your mixer hackel ?
[21:41] <Paulos> how do i make myself root -_- i do this su - "username" then it wants password ... but its still asking me to be root when i type the command
[21:41] <lstarnes> Paulos: why do you need to make yourself root?
[21:41] <dash__> paulos you have to do sudo su
[21:41] <stefg> !root | Paulos
[21:41] <dash__> to enter a root shell
[21:41] <lstarnes> dash__: sudo -i, not sudo su
[21:41] <Ooook> fumblnoob, does that possibly mean that I can only have either xmms or youtube playing at the same time?
[21:41] <Ooook> once at a time*
[21:41] <deany> Cube, lockup as in, needing RSEIUB
[21:41] <lstarnes> Paulos: try prefixing the command that requires root with sudo
[21:41] <Paulos> lol ubottu
[21:41] <Paulos> ok
[21:41] <maxxle> nibbler_: I just have a big external USB-HDD with a single partition. I think then /dev/sdX should do the trick
[21:41] <Paulos> sudo
[21:42] <Cube> deany: hmm i gotcha.
[21:42] <fumblnoob> Ooook you should be able to have both, but have you tried one at a time?
[21:42] <dash__> what does one use the DASH shell for?
[21:42] <nibbler_> maxxle: yea, should do then i guess
[21:42] <VCoolio> dash__: "sudo shutdown -F -r" reboots and will run fschk if you mean that, see shutdown --help for options
[21:42] <lstarnes> dash__: it's used as a lightweight shell
[21:42] <dash__> haha
[21:42] <Dark_Wolf> Repeating because nobody remembers again: Okay, everyone, since pepperjack seems to have died. Can anyone help me fix my graphics? I have a Dell Inspiron 1100 running 9.04 and when I boot, I get nothing but a blank screen after all the text (I have nosplash set). It's okay if I use an external monitor sometimes, but after swtiching to another TTY, the display goes blank again.
[21:42] <lstarnes> dash__: it has few features, but is faster than bash
[21:42] <maxxle> nibbler_: Hope so! thx!
[21:43] <dash__> im flattered they decided to name a shell after me :/
[21:43] <dash__> haha
[21:43] <Draggin> Good evenin'
[21:43] <Ooook> fumblnoob, still doesn't work even with one at a time.
[21:43] <Ooook> Plus, whenever I close Firefox, and try to reopen it, the process is still running..
[21:43] <tonii> Dark_Wolf: does single user mode work?
[21:43] <Slart> Ooook: wait a little while for it to shut down... 10 seconds or so... before trying to start it agani
[21:43] <Dark_Wolf> tonii: Nothing works. Blank screen.
[21:44] <Ooook> Alright Slart.
[21:44] <Raenir> Can someone help me fix my ati drivers problem, my fglrx.ko file is MISSING so I can't finish the installtion.
[21:44] <Ooook> ><
[21:44] <Draggin> Could someone quickly, in very basic (aka relative noob here) terms, the idea of dependencies in Linux and how exactly it works (and what breaks it, and what happens when it gets broken)
[21:44] <tonii> Dark_Wolf: sounds odd. bios work, right? :P
[21:44] <nibbler_> Raenir: are you sure yourcard is supported? some cards support got lost on 9.04
[21:44] <stefg> Dark_Wolf: that's an oldish laptop iirc... i vaguely remember there's a bios option to give 1MB or 8MB to the video .. it's set to1, so set it to 8 in the BIOS
[21:44] <Ooook> fumblnoob, any ideas?
[21:44] <Dark_Wolf> tonii, yeah., and stefg, I'll try it
[21:44] <lstarnes> Draggin: a dependency is a program or a library that is required by another program or library in order to work
[21:44] <cake_baker> hackel, is IEC958 Playback source to "Digital Playback"? (knowing i'm using the internal speakers)
[21:45] <fumblnoob> Ooook: give me a minute, looking around
[21:45] <Raenir> mine is ATI 3870
[21:45] <Draggin> Istarnes, okay... And where are these dependencies defined - how does a programme know what it needs?
[21:45] <jadenkorn_> Hey there.. While I'm creating an ext4 partition it uses 1GB of 56GB, however when I'm formatting it to reiser4 it uses only 39MB from 56GB
[21:45] <Ooook> fumblenoob: Okay. Thanks alot man, I really appreciate your time.
[21:45] <tonii> Dark_Wolf: ah, it's when Xorg is run that screen blanks out?
[21:45] <stefg> Dark_Wolf: and you might need some vga=xxx option in the kernel command line
[21:45] <jadenkorn_> How can I reduce its size?
[21:45] <hackel> cake_baker, that's for playback, not recording...
[21:45] <lstarnes> Draggin: it asks the operating system to load certain libraries or start certain programs when it runs
[21:45] <cake_baker> ok i wasn't sure
[21:45] <Dark_Wolf> tonii yeah
[21:46] <lstarnes> Draggin: also, the package manager checks a database for that information when installing packages or upgrading them
[21:46] <hackel> cake_baker, I use that to play out over the hdmi cable.
[21:46] <stefg> tonii: no... not an X issue but framebuffer... old dells have funny video hardware.
[21:46] <Draggin> Istarnes, okay... So how do dependencies break?
[21:46] <Dark_Wolf> stefg, using vga=1, and I set it to 8MB
[21:46] <Slart> jadenkorn_: reiser if very good with small files.. ext4 might be a little less efficient
[21:46] <Raenir> where do I check what grpahics cards are supported?
[21:46] <tonii> stefg: ah, interesting
[21:46] <lstarnes> Draggin: they break when a version of a program or library doesn't work properly with something that requires it
[21:46] <stefg> Dark_Wolf: you need something like vga=791 or 753
[21:46] <jadenkorn_> Slart, I made it reiser4 but I can't mount it...
[21:46] <Paulos> i installed vbox , when i try to run it via command line it tells me its not installed , and to install it type the following "apt-get install virtualbox-ose" so i tryed to installed "hence why i wanted to the sudo thingy , its got 90% in and its now saying "no suitable module for running krernal found" , and when i tryed to run it now i get "WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.
[21:46] <Paulos>          Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel,
[21:46] <Paulos>          which is likely virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.
[21:46] <Paulos>          You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
[21:46] <Paulos> Qt WARNING: VirtualBox: cannot connect to X ser.
[21:46] <FloodBot2> Paulos: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:47] <lstarnes> Draggin: sometimes it is caused by have a version that is too old or too new
[21:47] <Slart> jadenkorn_: it might be something with a minimum file size... so every file smaller than 8kb still uses 8kb of space.. but I'm just guessing here.. I don't know the mechanics behind either file system
[21:47] <Paulos> oops
[21:47] <stefg> Dark_Wolf: try vga=0x303
[21:47] <Dark_Wolf> stefg, setting the video to 8MB fixed it, actually.
[21:47] <NET||abuse> hm, is google gears coming out from official google source, rather than nielspeen.com, for jaunty 64bit?
[21:47] <Slart> jadenkorn_: can't mount it? fstab doesn't work?
[21:47] <flyingtabmow> anyone know of any good resources/have any experience with installing ubuntu on a macbook pro (2,2) without burning to a cd (specifically, from a partition on an ext usb hd)
[21:47] <Raenir> Alrighty screw it, I'm doing it the manual way from the ATI site
[21:47] <Draggin> Istarnes - But wouldn't installing a package that required a newer version of say, a library, automatically update that library as well (assuming you install it through a package manager)
[21:47] <jadenkorn_> Slart, not with Nautilus, however didn't tried with fstab yet..
[21:48] <efu> I've changed my mobile broadband modem from storage mode to modem mode. I've created a connection in network manager and put in my phone number and the ATN that I think is correct. No message at all from network manager in /var/sys/log. How can I figure out whats wrong?
[21:48] <lstarnes> Paulos: sudo modprobe vboxdrv
[21:48] <lstarnes> Raenir: have you tried https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsAti ?
[21:48] <aaroninfidel> anyone know of an easy way to automount ssh shares?
[21:48] <Raenir> Ive tried everything
[21:49] <Raenir> nothing in the official documents seems to work for me
[21:49] <Draggin> lstarnes - only noticed now that your nick is actually "lstarnes" and not "Istarnes" :) Sorry
[21:49] <Lord-Readman> I have ssh access to an ubuntu9.04 desktop install, and want to make it make a sound, i tired the beep command, how can i make it play a sound?
[21:49] <hackel> cake_baker, you should also open the PulseAudio Volume Control and make sure the recording source is set to the right device.
[21:49] <fumblnoob> Ooook: Try setting everything in System->Preferences->Sound to ALSA (but take note of what they were before you changed them just in case)
[21:49] <lstarnes> Draggin: it should update that automatically
[21:49] <JadenKorn> Slart, it says "Cannot mount volume." then below "The volume uses the reiser4 file system which is not supported by your system."
[21:49] <lstarnes> Draggin: unless a newer version is not available
[21:49] <Raenir> the ATI radeon 3870 doesnt seem to be on the list for whatever reason
[21:49] <Dark_Wolf> stefg, tonii, pepperjack, thanks! :D
[21:50] <Ooook> okay
[21:50] <JadenKorn> Slart, I installed reiser4progs and made the partition with Gparted.
[21:50] <cake_baker> hackel, pulseaudio isn't installed ...
[21:50] <Slart> JadenKorn: have you searched in synaptic for reiser? perhaps it's a package you have to install? or support for it might have been dropped.. the company behind it has had some problems
[21:50] <Raenir> Unless it counds as under "HD 3200"
[21:50] <Drained> hey guys, i'm going to Reformat a parition flagged bootable, is that bad idea?
[21:50] <hackel> cake_baker, well that could be  a problem.
[21:50] <cake_baker> yeah that could be it
[21:50] <JadenKorn> Slart, reiserfs works, but not reiser4..
[21:51] <cake_baker> let's hope for the best :)
[21:51] <cake_baker> but without pulseaudio i do have sound
[21:51] <cake_baker> but no microphone
[21:51] <Draggin> istarnes - okay, the root of my question is actually something very silly... I've recently upgraded to Intrepid, and for some reason, GIMP has disappeared completely off my graphics menu (even when you edit it, it isn't just unchecked, it's not there at all). So I was basically just wondering if it would cause any issues if I added it manually to the menu (the programme is installed - I just executed it with no problems from the command l
[21:51] <cake_baker> let's see if it solves the problem by installing it

[21:51] <Slart> JadenKorn: oh.. I don't really know why... I used reiserfs before but I went back to ext3..
[21:51] <FloodBot2> Drained: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:51] <Lord-Readman> I have ssh access to an ubuntu9.04 desktop install, and want to make it make a sound, i tired the beep command but silence, how can i make it play a sound?
[21:51] <Edico> hi
[21:51] <Lord-Readman> hi
[21:51] <lstarnes> Draggin: which command?
[21:52] <Edico> what is the name of the program that shows informations about hardware?
[21:52] <JadenKorn> Slart, I could use ext4 but it uses almost 2% from my 56GB partition... that is 1GB..
[21:52] <Drained> I'm going to reformat sda1, is that going to lead to problems?
[21:52] <roc> hey guys... i have a slight problem... im running the ubuntu netbook remix on an acer aspire one and it runs so goddamn slow... does somebody has an idea what i can do to make the system run faster? windows xp was working completely fine on this one...
[21:52] <JadenKorn> Slart, is there anyway to reduce it somehow?
[21:52] <Slart> JadenKorn: yup.. I know the feeling.. I use xfs on my big drives
[21:52] <hackel> Anyone know how I can force the static application switcher in Compiz always appear on my first monitor?  It seems to randomly move to my 2nd monitor sometimes which is really annoying.
[21:52] <Ooook> fumblenoob: still didn't work
[21:52] <Ooook> `-`
[21:52] <Raenir> Whats the difference between sh and sudo?
[21:53] <fumblnoob> Ooook: that worked for someone with the same problem.. was worth a try
[21:53] <Slart> JadenKorn: not sure.. there are some settings you can change but you'll probably affect performance too..
[21:53] <dare> Draggin, adding items to your menus wont cause issues
[21:53] <lstarnes> Raenir: sh runs shell scripts
[21:53] <Lord-Readman> I have ssh access to an ubuntu9.04 desktop install, and want to make it make a sound, i tired the beep command but it didnt beep, how can i make it play a sound?
[21:53] <lstarnes> Raenir: sudo is used for runing programs as another user
[21:53] <dare> although you shouldn't be afraid to break things, that's how you learn
[21:53] <Raenir> what do I use to run a .run file
[21:53] <zk> where do i get kernel source for 2.6.28-16-47-generic?
[21:53] <Raenir> ./etc doesnt work permission denied
[21:53] <roc> nobody an idea?
[21:53] <myself> whats that thing thats like gdesklets but different?
[21:53] <myself> i mean pretty much the same but a different one
[21:53] <lstarnes> Raenir: either sh or sudo sh
[21:53] <Draggin> istarnes, what did you mean?
[21:53] <stefg> roc: the problem is the slow ssd...
[21:53] <VCoolio> myself: screenlets?
[21:53] <Flannel> Lord-Readman: aplay, or any other media player
[21:53] <garchotron> i know it's a little o/t, but if someone likes bash scripting i could use some help with my code
[21:53] <myself> screenlets yea
[21:54] <Ooook> fumblenoob: yeah
[21:54] <Ooook> hmm
[21:54] <Ooook> maybe I should try different sound settings

[21:54] <Draggin> dare - so even when GIMP next gets upgraded and I added it manually to the menu, everything will work fine?
[21:54] <mralexandro1> possible to connect to muiltiple irc servers in pidgin?
[21:54] <Flannel> garchotron: Try #ubuntu-offtopic, or #bash
[21:54] <stefg> roc: and afaik it only has 512 MB
[21:54] <lstarnes> Draggin: your message was cut off at I just executed it with no problems from the command l"
[21:54] <Lord-Readman> Flannel will it do it in the background?
[21:54] <roc> stefg: but can i fix that somehow??? i had ubuntu linpus on this system... that was running fine...
[21:54] <dare> Draggin, sure
[21:54] <Raenir> maybe lower case j
[21:54] <Flannel> Lord-Readman: If you send it to the background
[21:54] <garchotron> k Flannel thx
[21:54] <lstarnes> mralexandro1: yes, but you will need to add additional irc accounts
[21:54] <Raenir> hrrm seems to be doing something more now
[21:54] <dare> Draggin, the executable name stays the same with each version
[21:54] <Draggin> istarnes - oh :) Just said command line - executed "gimp" and it ran fine
[21:54] <Flannel> Lord-Readman: "command &" will run command and immediately send it to the background
[21:55] <Raenir> Damn linux being case sensitive and not idiot proof! *shakes fist*
[21:55] <cake_baker> hackel, i'm going to restart my comp
[21:55] <booi> helo. i was wondering why my cpu has a metal hat on top?
[21:55] <Draggin> dare - cool, thanks :) Any ideas as to why it would have disappeared off the menu?
[21:55] <dare> nope..
[21:55] <Raenir> kay' now I have a blinky cursor
[21:55] <roc> stefg: but how can it be that ubuntu needs more ressources than winxp? and all netbooks have ssd right? so since this is a netbook remix...
[21:55] <JadenKorn> Slart, I formatted my 56GB partition to ext4 and it uses 3.1GB now
[21:55] <hackel> cake_baker: Restart?  You're not running windows!  This is never necessary!
[21:55] <Raenir> and seems to be hanging on whatever its oing
[21:55] <lstarnes> booi: ..a metal hat?
[21:55] <fumblnoob> Ooook: wish I could be of more help, but I have to go for the day.  I saw a few things googling your error tho.
[21:55] <Raenir> YAY its did something and didnt yell at me!
[21:55] <Flannel> booi: That's probably your heatsink, for general computer questions, #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better place to ask than here.
[21:55] <Cryptic_Donkey> .seen nancy
[21:55] <Ooook> oh alright
[21:55] <Ooook> Thanks anyway fumblnoob :P
[21:55] <Draggin> Very weird... I thought it may have uninstalled it for some reason, but it's actually been upgraded and definitely there
[21:56] <JadenKorn> Slart, should I use xfs instead?
[21:56] <stefg> roc: you need some fine tuning... winxp is an 8 year old OS, and linpus was custom tailored.
[21:56] <roc> stefg: can you define finetuning?
[21:56] <roc> stefg: im really not that into linux... but i really like ubuntu
[21:56] <Raenir> dpkg: error processing fglrx-kernel-source_jaunty.deb (--install):
[21:56] <Raenir>  cannot access archive: No such file or director
[21:56] <aaroninfidel> how can I find out my group and user id?
[21:57] <Raenir> can anyoe help with this?
[21:57] <Slart> JadenKorn: I can't really tell you what will suit you.. I use xfs since it was recommended to me.. it's been working nicely for me so far but I haven't really had any problems with any of the major file systems so far
[21:57] <mak1> is there any application to schedule turn off in the computer
[21:57] <Flannel> aaroninfidel: the number? or your username/list of groups your in?
[21:57] <Flannel> mak1: shudown accepts a time argument
[21:57] <JadenKorn> Slart, I need mostly for larger files.. mostly 1GB+
[21:57] <Slart> mak1: man shutdown
[21:57] <Slart> JadenKorn: then I think xfs might do nicely... give it a try
[21:57] <aaroninfidel> Flannel: both the user id and group id
[21:57] <stefg> roc: i have an aspire one, too... i added 1 strip of RAM, and added an 60GB 1,8" hd... cost me 50 Euros, but it'S a whole new machine. i
[21:57] <prappl93> My Flash player messes up sometimes while I am playing a Flash game on Facebook... is there anyway to fix this? I don't get an error, it just doesn't load everything sometimes and I have to go to full screen mode then back to regular mode.
[21:58] <aaroninfidel> Flannel: uid & gid
[21:58] <mak1> i want the computer to turn off automatically at 5 am everyday
[21:58] <Raenir> Does Ubuntu have a hotline or something I can call? The sheer number of roadblocks Im getting is absurd
[21:58] <yaris123456789> how do i list all related install packages using apt-get ?
[21:58] <mak1> how do i do tht
[21:58] <tonii> roc: the ssd's you find in netbooks are more often then not god awefull useless. just fyi.
[21:58] <Slart> !support
[21:58] <daniellockard> Raenir: it would seem that in fact, the file doesn't exist.
[21:58] <chrism2671> what's everyone's experience of the stability of karmic koala alpha 3?
[21:58] <roc> stefg: but for this i neet to open the whole computer right???
[21:58] <Slart> Raenir: check the link from ubottu above..
[21:58] <Slart> !karmic | chrism2671
[21:58] <Flannel> aaroninfidel: echo $UID seems to work here, I was just going to suggest looking in /etc/passwd and /etc/group
[21:59] <mak1>  i want the computer to turn off automatically at 5 am everyday
[21:59] <Slart> mak1: then use crontab and schedule a shutdown command
[21:59] <cake_baker> hackel, nope it doesn't work
[21:59] <Raenir> apparently professional services costs money
[21:59] <daniellockard> mak1: you could do that with crontab i suppose
[21:59] <cake_baker> everything is at maximum
[21:59] <daniellockard> Raenir: does that file exist, that you're looking for?
[21:59] <Raenir> okay so if the file doesn't exist why does the official documentation have it on the site?
[21:59] <mak1> any application for it?
[21:59] <Cryptic_Donkey> When is the next LTS rease due out?
[21:59] <cake_baker> Digital Input Source : Digital, all the input sources are on Mic
[21:59] <mak1> other than cron
[21:59] <shooree> what's the correct way of updating my Nvidia drivers to the current beta? Is there a good manual somewhere?
[22:00] <stefg> roc, there's vids on youtube and blogs on how to do it... but even if you don't want to upgrade the hardware you can custom install ubuntu to better fit the slow ssd and small ram
[22:00] <pcbuilder97> april 2010 is the next lts
[22:00] <cake_baker> and just changed the sound level
[22:00] <Raenir> sudo dpkg -i fglrx-kernel-source_jaunty.deb is the command I am trying to run
[22:00] <lstarnes> Cryptic_Donkey: either version 10.04 or a later version
[22:00] <daniellockard> Raenir: what document are you refering to, give me a link?
[22:00] <cake_baker> and played with the enablers
[22:00] <Raenir> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#Instructions%20for%20Ubuntu%208.04%20(Hardy)%20with%20ATi%208.443.1-1%20and%20above%20binary%20drivers
[22:00] <pablo> ola
[22:00] <roc> stefg: how can i custom ubuntu then for that?
[22:00] <Cryptic_Donkey> thanks lstarnes
[22:00] <Flannel> Raenir: Use tab completion on the filename, it should tab complete.  If it doesn't, it might be in a different directory, or start differently (case, etc)
[22:01] <mak1> is there an application for it
[22:01] <pablo> alguien habla spanish
[22:01] <Flannel> !es | pablo
[22:01] <JadenKorn> Slart, I installed xfsprogs and formatted my partition to xfs and it used only 32MB of my 56GB.. so its quite good
[22:01] <Raenir> I'm using copy and paste from the documentation!
[22:01] <prappl93> My Adobe Flash Player is a little bit messed up sometimes while playing a game on Facebook. Can anyone tell me how to fix it? Its nothing major, it doesn't crash. I was just wondering if there was a way to make it work a bit better, because when I play the game I have to set it to fullscreen mode then back to regular for it to load some of the things right. Does anyone know how to try and fix this?
[22:01] <daniellockard> Raenir: thats no always good.
[22:02] <mak1> is there an application for it
[22:02] <Draggin> Okay - I have another question, this time on the kernel (which I'm practically completely clueless about). When I upgraded to Intrepid (I'm actually running Ubuntu Studio), there were issues with the nVidia drivers/kernel. I tried reinstalling, downloading from nVidia, etc. but the problem stayed. Then, trying something completely different, I wanted to start up VirtualBox to check something on one of my virtual installations. It complain
[22:02] <dare> Cryptic_Donkey, 2 more years?
[22:02] <Flannel> !cron | mak1
[22:02] <Raenir> brb
[22:03] <roc> stefg: still there?
[22:03] <daniellockard> Raenir: so this works? ./ati-driver-installer-8.443.1-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/<version>
[22:03] <Slart> Draggin: virtualbox has a kernel module that needs to be loaded before it can run.. the easiest way is to just reinstall virtualbox.. it will reinstall the kernel module but keep all the settings, vm's and such
[22:03] <pcbuilder97> cryptic_donky  the next lts is releast in april of 2010
[22:03] <Kingsy101> can someone tell me, I have a clean install of ubuntu 8.04 installed on my PC what is the best way to get it upgraded to 9.04 without burning anything to CD ?
[22:03] <pcbuilder97> just duble cheacked it
[22:03] <Flannel> !upgrade | Kingsy101
[22:03] <Draggin> Slart - okay, but what I'm referring to now is my system kernel - because I'm apparently running one that is not officially supported by Canonical...?
[22:03] <Slart> !upgrade | Kingsy101
[22:04] <Flannel> Kingsy101: upgrade to 8.10 (per that page) and then Upgrade to 9.04
[22:04] <MarkG> Hi, I have a marvell Sheevaplug with Ubuntu on it, I'm not that familair with the way Ubuntu/Debain does things (more a Gentoo fan usually - but source distros are not good for embedded devices).    I have been tinkering, and seem to have got it to a stage where networking does not get started on boot.   what do I need to check to sort it out?  (/etc/network/interfaces looks OK)
[22:04] <stefg> roc: googling for a tutorial... you need to start with a minimal install, put /tmp in tmpfs and avoid heavy apps. ext4 actually runs good on slow ssd'S
[22:04] <Slart> Draggin: I don't think it will really matter.. as long as you have the kernel headers installed in the right place
[22:04] <roc> stefg: ext4 means what?
[22:05] <stefg> !ext4
[22:05] <pcbuilder97> roc  its a diffrent file system type and format
[22:05] <dare> will we see ubuntu with hurd kernel? maybe ubunturd? :-)
[22:05] <Draggin> Slart - thanks. But, can you just tell me what it really means then if Synaptic indicates that a package is not officially supported...?
[22:05] <Slart> Draggin: but it might also just fail for some weird reason... I'm not too familiar with how it handles kernel modules with home built kernels
[22:05] <roc> can i change that without reinstalling?
[22:05] <pcbuilder97> its said to be more effeitiant than the current ex3 and more stable
[22:05] <JadenKorn> Slart, It seems I can't add files to it.. says I'm not the owner
[22:05] <pcbuilder97> i wouldnt think so
[22:05] <Flannel> roc, pcbuilder97: ext4 isn't stable enough yet.  It still suffers from dataloss
[22:06] <pcbuilder97> i know but the goal is to be more stable
[22:06] <Edico> what is the name of the program that shows informations about hardware?
[22:06] <dare> it does?
[22:06] <Flannel> Edico: lspci? lsusb?
[22:06] <lstarnes> Edico: the graphical one?
[22:06] <Flannel> dare: Yes.
[22:06] <roc> ok... so basically it means that i have to stay by everything i now have, and the system will run slow... :(
[22:06] <Edico> lstarnes, yes
[22:06] <dare> that explains the loss of my .gnome configuration files twice since i installed ubuntu with ext4!
[22:06] <stefg> roc: try http://www.geteasypeasy.com/
[22:07] <Slart> Draggin: I'm not sure what they mean by that.. when we use that term it usually means we're tired of troubleshooting stuff from the base up because we don't know what kind of system the user is running.. =)
[22:07] <Edico> lstarnes, Flannel is a program that can generate a html file
[22:07] <alain> hi all
[22:07] <Slart> JadenKorn: try doing a "sudo chown" on the mount point
[22:07] <zk> where do i get kernel source for 2.6.28-16-47-generic?i tried to "apt-get install linux-source-`uname -r` but i get 2.6.29-9 sources apparently...or couldn't build them the right way
[22:07] <Slart> JadenKorn: add -R for recursion
[22:07] <lstarnes> Edico: it might be hal-device-manager
[22:07] <roscoe> roc: I am running easy peasy on an eeePC 701, works good
[22:08] <NickWebHA> I accidentally dragged ~/Desktop into ~/Documents and now Ubuntu using ~/Documents/Desktop as my desktop folder. Dragging it back does not move it back (which I thought was strange). Anyone know how I can fix this?
[22:08] <Slart> zk: check in synaptic... there are different kernel header packages... that line with "uname -r" just installs the one you're running
[22:08] <VCoolio> NickWebHA: there's a file that handles that, ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
[22:09] <roc> stefg: my computer already looks like that... it seems to be the same like the official ubuntu netbook remix
[22:09] <alain> just a little question : how to start the X interface when I'm on the command line login
[22:09] <zk> Slart, that's what i need....but when i apt-get it ,it seems to come unpatched
[22:09] <stefg> zk: i doubt it'll work to build a custom kernel and still use retricted modules... you might look into module-assistant
[22:09] <zk> stefcc, it works...already has .debs made by someone else for 2.6.28-13-generic
[22:09] <Slart> zk: the headers in the package should be the headers that the kernel is compiled with
[22:09] <JadenKorn> Slart, "sudo chown -R jadenkorn:jadenkorn /media/MyData/" seemed to work.. thanks
[22:10] <Draggin> Slart - haha :) Thanks for the honesty :P
[22:10] <zk> Slart, i don't need the headers..but the source
[22:10] <Slart> JadenKorn: you're welcome
[22:10] <NickWebHA> VCoolie: I suppose I need to log out, in for that to take effect?
[22:10] <zk> Slart, to patch and re-compile it
[22:10] <roc> stefg: is there any difference to the original ubuntu netbook remix?
[22:10] <wng_z3r0> hi, I need to make a program run at startup, but it needs to run as root. Can someone throw me a link or what to search for?
[22:10] <Ooook> anyone have any idea as to the answer my problem?
[22:10] <NickWebHA> Well, let me try that. Thank you.
[22:11] <JadenKorn> Slart, is this "/dev/sda2       /mnt/MyData     xfs     rw,user,auto 0 0" good for autobooting the xfs partition?
[22:11] <VCoolio> NickWebHA: there probably is a command for it, but relogin is faster than finding that out
[22:11] <Slart> zk: then there are source packages.. I haven't built a kernel from those packages myself but I would assume that they are patched appropriately
[22:11] <stefg> roc: it's customized for atom based hardware... different kernel, some different apps, some differently tweaked defaults
[22:11] <Ooook> I've recently upgraded to Ubuntu Jaunty, just last night. I can't get sound to work on firefox flash. I am using a 32 bit system.
[22:11] <JadenKorn> I mean to auto mount it
[22:11] <Ooook> Sound works fine on other apps.
[22:11] <Ooook> `-`;
[22:11] <smcquay> hello everyone. can the server cd be used as a live environment?
[22:11] <boss_mc> alain: startx will start it
[22:11] <roc> stefg: ok ... i will give it a shot...
[22:11] <zk> Slart, but when i compile and make debs i get linux-image-2.6.28-09-generic instead of linux-image-2.6.28-14-generic
[22:11] <Slart> JadenKorn: looks good to me.. I think you'll find it easier to put it in /media instead of /mnt ... for some reason gnome likes to have the mount points in /media
[22:11] <roc> by the way... something i just want to mention
[22:11] <roc> i think the ubuntu community is awesome
[22:12] <lstarnes> smcquay: I don't think so
[22:12] <roc> you really always find help here immediately
[22:12] <m477> i downloaded 4 or 5 translators form repo. and no one works wtf ?
[22:12] <Draggin> Slart - incidentally, when you said just reinstall VirtualBox, would a normal remove and re-add in the Add/Remove... Applet do the trick?
[22:12] <Raenir> Okay I found the proper file but it still says it doesnt exist when I KNOW it exists and can see it
[22:12] <Slart> Draggin: isn't there a reinstall option? that would be even better
[22:12] <smcquay> lstarnes: thanks. i've got the resources, so i'll just boot up into X :P
[22:12] <Edico> lstarnes, Flannel I found it, is lshw
[22:12] <Raenir> fglrx-kernel-source_8.632-0ubuntu1_i386.deb on my desktop
[22:12] <Slart> Draggin: check in "synaptic"
[22:13] <Raenir> sudo dpkg -i fglrx-kernel-source_8.632-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
[22:13] <Draggin> Slart... Ummm... Not sure... Where would one look for a reinstall option...?
[22:13] <Raenir> is the command
[22:13] <Raenir> but for somereason it cant find the file that is right there
[22:13] <daniellockard> Raenir: and that is the exact name of the file
[22:13] <Kingsy101> can someone tell me what I need to do here, I have a ubuntu installation, and for some reason the screen is slightly offset (there is a black bar down the right hand side) i.e the screen isnt centered, there isnt any facility to center it on the monitor .. can this be done in the software?
[22:13] <daniellockard> and you're in that directory?
[22:13] <daniellockard> Raenir: ^
[22:13] <Raenir> yes
[22:13] <Raenir> the desktop
[22:13] <daniellockard> ok
[22:13] <Raenir> raenir@raenir-desktop:/$ sudo dpkg -i fglrx-kernel-source_8.632-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
[22:13] <Slart> Draggin: system, administration, Synaptic package manager.... then search for virtualbox and click on the little square.. there should be a reinstall option
[22:13] <daniellockard> ok
[22:13] <Flannel> Raenir: you're not in the same directory ;)
[22:13] <Draggin> Slart - cool, lemme check
[22:13] <Ooook> cd ~/Desktop/
[22:13] <Ooook> I believe.
[22:13] <Slart> zk: I'm not sure why it would do that.. sorry
[22:14] <daniellockard> Raenir: you're in / not ~/Desktop/
[22:14] <HighLordObsi> crap, i forgot how to install stuff through the command line :(
[22:14] <stefg> roc: some useful link http://megabytemorsels.blogspot.com/2009/05/using-tmpfs-for-tmp-with-ssd-in-ubuntu.html
[22:14] <gverig> Is there any way to use icons embedded in executables to show in the menu? Basically, if I look at an executable through Nautilus, it has an icon but I don't know how to pull that icon into "applications" menu.
[22:14] <goku12205> sudo -s\
[22:14] <Raenir> well thats weird
[22:14] <Ooook> Though does anyone have an answer to my flash issue? ><
[22:14] <Raenir> and counter intuitiv
[22:14] <Flannel> Raenir: raenir-desktop is your machine's hostname
[22:14] <Raenir> bah
[22:14] <rainbowbutterfly> how do i get te pcmcia wireless card working in ubuntu
[22:14] <Ooook> I need it because I have to listen to an online lecture ><
[22:14] <goku12205> does anyone know how to use a trojan?
[22:15] <daniellockard> goku12205: .... lol?
[22:15] <HighLordObsi> umm....
[22:15] <mak1> ubottu: u cld install gnome-shcedule to do the cron function lot safer
[22:15] <Flannel> goku12205: Please take offtopic questions elsewhere, thanks.
[22:15] <ayecaramba> I'm upgrading from 8.04 to 9.04... usually when I upgrade I type 'update-manager -d' and it gives me the option to update to the newest distro, however it's only giving me the option to update to 8.10 ... does this mean I have to first update to 8.10 then 9.04 ?
[22:15] <Alvinware> What's the command to schedule times for a any apps to run, and stop?
[22:15] <Slart> goku12205: trojan? I think you need to explain a bit more.. !piracy might be an appropriate thing to type too
[22:15] <Flannel> ayecaramba: Yes, can only upgrade one release at a time
[22:15] <goku12205> where can i go to learn this shit then?
[22:15] <Slart> Alvinware: crontab -e
[22:16] <wng_z3r0> how do I autorun a program at startup that needs root?
[22:16] <Ooook> ugh
[22:16] <ayecaramba> Flannel, bummer, but thanks for the answer
[22:16] <Draggin> Slart - the "Reinstall option is grayed out, but there seems to be another version - VirtualBox OSE... Guessing if I remove my version and install that one that my settings wouldn't be retained, huh...?
[22:16] <Slart> !boot | wng_z3r0
[22:16] <Cyorxamp> Other than RhythmBox and Songbird... can anyone recommend a nice cross platform app for managing my music (obviously not iTunes) ?
[22:16] <Flannel> ayecaramba: Well, and then you can upgrade LTS to LTS, so you could go from 8.04 to 10.04 when it comes out
[22:16] <Slart> Draggin: ah.. you downloaded the version from the virtualbox site?
[22:16]  * daniellockard suggests a /kb goku12205
[22:16] <wng_z3r0> slart: thanks
[22:16] <stefg> ayecaramba: right... no direct upgrade path other than LTS to LTS
[22:16] <Slart> Draggin: then just download it again and re-run the file..
[22:16] <ayecaramba> Right... and I just don't feel like waiting till April for another distro to come out :)
[22:16] <ayecaramba> Thanks though
[22:16] <goku12205> can anyone tell me how the three way handshake work?
[22:16] <jadenkorn> Slart, that did the trick. Thank you very much
[22:17] <Slart> jadenkorn: you're welcome
[22:17] <freemen> hello every 1 i have same thing to ask  how acn i open the Blocked sites
[22:17] <daniellockard> goku12205: this isn't the place for offtopic nonsense
[22:17] <Flannel> goku12205: That too, is offtopic here, please take non-ubuntu support topics elsewhere, thanks
[22:17] <mark_> How do I find out if I am using 64bit or 32bit os?
[22:17] <freemen> hello every 1 i have same thing to ask  how acn i open the Blocked sites
[22:17] <Draggin> Slart... I can't really remember... Was long ago, but that doesn't seem like something I'd normally do...
[22:17] <dretchswatter> lol
[22:17] <Slart> mark_: uname -a   might tell you.. not sure if it's listed in lsb_release -a
[22:18] <wng_z3r0> slart: that doesn't seem to help me. I want to start a program at bootup, not mess with grub
[22:18] <rww> mark_: type "uname -m" in a terminal. If you get i686, it's 32-bit. If you get x86_64, it's 64-bit.
[22:18] <dretchswatter> freeman, are you supposed to go onto those blocked sites?
[22:18] <goku12205> WHERE CAN I GO THEN?
[22:18] <LordLandon> goku12205: google
[22:18] <wng_z3r0> goku12205 try #networking
[22:18] <Slart> Draggin: I don't think the non-OSE version is available from the repos.. you might have added a repository for virtualbox though..
[22:18] <rww> !google | LordLandon
[22:18] <daniellockard> goku12205: you don't need to learn this stuff, use google.
[22:19] <mark_> rww, i686
[22:19] <daniellockard> if you must.
[22:19] <Draggin> Slart... Okay... Guess that makes sense. Thanks - I'll try getting it from the site again then...
[22:19] <stefg> mark: does 'ls /usr | grep64' return anything?
[22:19] <rww> mark_: then you have 32bit :)
[22:19] <Slart> Draggin: here's the download page.. http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[22:19] <LordLandon> rww: there's a difference between newer users and users that yell at you demanding information
[22:20] <goku12205> why don't i need to learn this stuff?(INFORMATION IS FREE!!!!)
[22:20] <daniellockard> rww: I'm pretty sure that telling someone asking how to use trojans to use google is acceptable.
[22:20] <mark_> rww, I am having difficulty installing the flash plugin. I remember there being a link somewhere that automatically installs the plugin
[22:20] <Cube> hey, im trying to export pictures to flickr
[22:20] <Slart> wng_z3r0: check the part about "To add/remove startup services..."
[22:20] <Flannel> LordLandon: There's still no reason to eb rude
[22:20] <Cube> with digikam, on ubuntu
[22:20] <rww> mark_: if you're using 32-bit, installing the flashplugin-nonfree package should do it...
[22:20] <Cube> but it says that it cannot find serveri kfmclien
[22:21] <Slart> wng_z3r0: there is also the part about using the directory etc/rc.local for startup scripts.. those will be run by root
[22:21] <rww> daniellockard, LordLandon: and the correct way to deal with people like that is to ignore them and let the operators deal with them.
[22:21] <mark_> rww, sudo apt-get instal??
[22:21] <Draggin> Slart - thanks for all the trouble :)
[22:21] <rww> mark_: yeah, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[22:21] <Slart> Draggin: you're welcome
[22:21] <Raenir> i just rebooted and apparently somepart of the kernel is crashing
[22:22] <daniellockard> Raenir: I would check dmesg for errors.
[22:22] <Raenir> "Sorry the package "dkms <IP_ADDRESS>-0ubuntu3" failed to install or upgrade
[22:22] <marcjp> Hi there. I am new to 9.04, and am looking for advise/support with an Airlink101 AWLC2036 PCMCIA WiFi card. I've installed the wrapper app, and downloaded the appropriate (I think) XP .inf driver, but the app returns "Invalid Driver". File is in tmp folder. Any ideas?
[22:22] <Cube> hey, im trying to export pictures from digikam (on gnome) to flickr, but it says it cannot find the service KFMCLIENT. is there any hackaround for that?
[22:22] <Ooook> the only problems are..
[22:22] <Ooook> the sound.
[22:22] <Draggin> Slart - last question... If I run this .deb - will it automatically upgrade the current version that I have installed then?
[22:22] <Slart> Draggin: yes
[22:22] <Ooook> The flash is working fine, and I only have flashplugin-installer downloaded
[22:22] <Ooook> it's just the audio for the flash.
[22:23] <Draggin> Slart - thanks again :)
[22:23] <mark_> rww, thanks! I always forget how to install since its not often that I have to reformat
[22:23] <HighLordObsi> i'm such a noob :o
[22:23] <Slart> Draggin: =)
[22:23] <Ooook> :(
[22:23] <daniellockard> Ooook: hmm, have you done this via apt, or with .debs?
[22:23] <Ooook> Apt.
[22:23] <stevepearce> could someone confirm whether gb.archive.ubuntu.com is down?
[22:24] <prappl93> What is a good MPEG-4 AAC Decoder for 9.04
[22:24] <stevepearce> apt isn't connecting to it according to what I am reading
[22:24] <Slart> stevepearce: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/gb.archive.ubuntu.com
[22:24] <filgy> stevepearce: it loads for me
[22:24] <Ooook> I tried the debs before but they didn't work well at all.
[22:24] <mattwj2002> hi guys I have a question
[22:24] <stevepearce> hmm, I wonder what's going on then
[22:24] <prappl93> Music Player seems to be telling me to get a MPEG-4 AAC decoder
[22:24] <Slart> mattwj2002: go ahead.. ask
[22:24] <stefg> !wifi | marcjp
[22:24] <mattwj2002> I just bought a new 802.11n wireless nic
[22:24] <MK13> where are the files that save the info for the panels and the stuff added to them?
[22:24] <AsgardBeast> What happened to the CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE shortcut in 9.04 to restart X?
[22:25] <euthymos> hi, I'm building small C++ programs with my Ubuntu - using programming tools coming from repositories. Just wondering: using default settings do I create i386 or i686-compatible executables?
[22:25] <Flannel> !dontzap | AsgardBeast
[22:25] <stefg> AsgardBeast: disabled by default now
[22:25] <mattwj2002> it has a nice strong signal.....but it is only connecting at 802.11 speeds
[22:25] <mattwj2002> *802.11g speeds
[22:25] <mattwj2002> :(
[22:25] <Slart> MK13: might be in ~/.gnome or somewhere in that big registry thing gnome has.. gconf
[22:25] <Darxus> Upgrading from hardy to intrepid completely broke X.  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg isn't even getting it to start.
[22:25] <Darxus> Disapointing.
[22:25] <godmodegrafix> euthymos, whats your architecture?
[22:25] <Raenir> I just logged out and logged back in to fix an issue with dual monitor so far no new popups
[22:25] <euthymos> Intel 32 bit
[22:25] <Ooook> hmm
[22:26] <Slart> euthymos: you can try running "file yourexecutable" on something you compiled to see info about it
[22:26] <godmodegrafix> euthymos, then youre probable creating i386
[22:26] <Jeez> hello there
[22:26] <[criipt]> Whats the smallest compression format?
[22:26] <th0r> mattwj2002: it will only connect at the speed of the hub...do you have an 802.11n hub?
[22:26] <Raenir> though theres a weird bit of static at the top of my screen roughly 2 mm wide
[22:26] <Slart> [criipt]: depends on what you're compressing
[22:26] <VCoolio> MK13: ~/.gnome2/panel2.d/default
[22:26] <mattwj2002> yeah my wireless router is 802.11n
[22:26] <prappl93> I am in need of an MPEG-4 AAC decoder for Music Player on Ubuntu 9.04, how/what is a good one?
[22:27] <AsgardBeast> Was there a technical reason for disabling the shortcut?
[22:27] <mattwj2002> I have another nic all ready running at 802.11n speeds
[22:27] <aviatorz> hello, i am trying to use smbmount and get "mount error: improperly formatted UNC name. /192.168. ... /5380-Backups does not begin with \\ or //
[22:27] <Ooook> daniellockard, any ideas ? x_X
[22:27] <Ooook> I'm sorry for the impatience.
[22:27] <aviatorz> the share name is $$-Backups
[22:27] <euthymos> Slart: Intel 80386. Thank you
[22:27] <Ooook> I just need to watch lectures asap. ><
[22:27] <Slart> euthymos: you're welcome
[22:27] <Jeez> would somebody knows why i can't transfer dvd content to my hdd rapidly?? i only get around 4MB/s when doing this and drive is spinning really slow... while i can burn a dvd at 16x , around 20 MB/s with this same dvd burner...
[22:27] <mattwj2002> I did have on idea
[22:27] <[criipt]> Slart, Site Backup. So, Its mostly images and scrip files.
[22:27] <mattwj2002> *one idea
[22:27] <aviatorz> any way to get those $'s in there properly??
[22:27] <stefg> AsgardBeast: no... someone thought it's too easily done by accident ...(lol)
[22:28] <Slart> [criipt]: I use rar for my backups.. but it's proprietary I think.. I should probably find something else
[22:28] <mattwj2002> I just plugged the nic into my ubuntu box
[22:28] <mattwj2002> do I need to compile drivers?
[22:28] <daniellockard> Ooook: hmm, I'm trying to think, as I had a friend with a similar issue, let me IM him and see if he ever got it fixed.
[22:28] <Ooook> Alright.
[22:28] <mattwj2002> it worked right out of the box
[22:28] <[criipt]> Slart, Know anything thats open and has the highest compression.
[22:28] <[criipt]> ?
[22:29] <[criipt]> I want to reduce 1gb to some 100mb.
[22:29] <MK13> VCoolio, i already looked there... I need what keeps the info for like the trash, cpu monitors, etc that are kept on the panels
[22:29] <Slart> [criipt]: they are all reasonably efficient..  I don't think there is one that is much much better than the others
[22:29] <stefg> [criipt]: 1 GB of what?
[22:29] <[criipt]> I know the processing thats required is heavy. But i have the power.
[22:30] <[criipt]> stefg, pdf, html, php, psd, flv etc..
[22:31] <stefg> [criipt]: i'd try bz2 ... that'S optimized for text, and the video won't compress very well anyway
[22:31] <jezlee> anyone know how to make ubuntu 9..04 remember application window size and location?
[22:32] <man68> ola alguien sabes como conectarme a arica de terra
[22:32] <jrib> jezlee: that's the application's responsibility
[22:32] <[criipt]> stefg, okies.
[22:32] <neptunepink> Is there a way to make OpenGL applications not suck?
[22:32] <ctmjr> !es | man68
[22:33] <Kingsy101> can someone help me with upgrading.. I followed the instructions on http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading , it says to download all updates, click check and it will say a new version of ubuntu is available.. well it doesnt..
[22:33] <VCoolio> jezlee: you can use devilspie to make apps open with certain size and position; maybe compiz also can do that
[22:33] <Kingsy101> I have clicked checked and it says.. System is up to date
[22:33] <Kingsy101> but I am still running 8.04
[22:33] <Kingsy101> any ideas?
[22:33] <FloodBot2> Kingsy101: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:33] <Flannel> Kingsy101: Are you on ... right
[22:34] <Flannel> Kingsy101: Follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades
[22:34] <jrib> Kingsy101: make sure your preferences don't look for LTS upgrades only
[22:34] <Raenir> Gonna redo the instatiion of my drivers to be safe
[22:35] <Kingsy101> jrib - so do I need to upgrade to 8.10 and then 9.04 ?

[22:39] <Gumby> hi all.  Ive just installed ubuntu and my audio is going absolutely crazy.  Its full of random pops and clicks and static noises.  Sounds like someone is playing defender or something while watching a tv that is just static
[22:39] <ciurlionis> hello
[22:39] <ciurlionis> :)
[22:39] <ciurlionis> How do I delete the ACC from https://shipit.ubuntu.com?
[22:39] <Gumby> if I mute and unmute either master or IEC958 it stops for a bit but then comes back

[22:41] <spO> i am trying to figure out how to use udevadm .... i try finding my device directory.... i need more attributes so i can differentiate between two ethercards that are setup to use the same mac/hardware address under bonding/ifenslave
[22:41] <b0fh_ua> AsgardBeast: whatever would work )
[22:41] <Gumby> stefg: audio is working fine when actually playing something.  Its only when the audio is idle.
[22:42] <filgy> Gumby: I have a computer that does that.. but it is a physical problem with the speaker connection
[22:42] <filgy> Gumby: have you ruled that out?
[22:42] <b0fh_ua> how and where can I get envy?

[22:45] <hammam> hello all
[22:45] <Darxus> It's now doing magical proprietary driver stuff.

[22:46] <mattwj2002> whoever compiled the drivers for ubuntu 9.04 for ralink needs to have a little talk with me because they did a poor job :(
[22:46] <JonathanEllis> MikeChelen: Its a Dell Latitude C610. The sound card is built into the motherboard. Hold on while I check Dell's website. Funny thing is it has worked on this machine in the past
[22:46] <HighLordObsi> hmm...got my sound drivers now i need to figure out how to install them lol...

[22:56] <megamonk> please help! newbie stuck in "formatting swap space partition" install using wubi. please help...
[22:57] <krisives> How can I get the source to a package that's in the repository?
[22:57] <filgy> Raenir: i had eve working in wine a while ago... havn't tried with 9.04 though
[22:57] <Flannel> krisives: apt-get source package
[22:58] <krisives> Thank you so much Flannel
[22:58] <filgy> Raenir: have you looked at the Linux forums on the Eve official website?
[22:58] <krisives> Flannel: Where does it go?
[22:58] <megamonk> please help! im an absolute newbie stuck in "formatting swap space partition" install using wubi. please help...
[22:58] <tigergutt> anyone running mythtv and 9.04 ?
[22:58] <krisives> In the current directory it looks like ;)
[22:59] <krisives> I can do this as non-root too?
[23:00] <Jorknow> hey all, anyone familiar with both Ubuntu and Vista?
[23:00] <filgy> megamonk: how long has it been stuck formatting ?
[23:00] <megamonk> 5hrs
[23:00] <filgy> megamonk: with it going through wubi you should just be able to kill the install then try again, but you might want to confirm with someone else first
[23:00] <rek> eh
[23:01] <helper> krisives apt-get need privildge mode to execute it.
[23:01] <rek> mi sono trovato così e così
[23:01] <krisives> Are packages supposed to have the -dev requirements in their dependencies? I just did apt-get source nautilus-open-terminal and ./configure but it's missing some -dev libraries
[23:01] <rek> non capivo
[23:01] <rek> non potevo aprire i client
[23:01] <megamonk> i did that alraedy... been trying to install it for 5 days now
[23:01] <krisives> helper: apt-get source doesn't require root (he a bot I assume?)
[23:02] <Raenir> I don't find any particularily consistent instructions nor do they seem to work at all for getting EVE to work with wine
[23:02] <megamonk> i tried googling for solution and looking in forums... i defragged my hdd 5 times already
[23:02] <mrwes> krisives, so install the libs it tells you that are missing
[23:02] <megamonk> it still does work :(
[23:02] <megamonk> it still doesnt work :(
[23:02] <krisives> mrwes: I will, but is it not possible to have these installed for me with apt-get source?
[23:03] <Jorknow> Well I need some help. Vista recently got a virus, so I had to reformat my vista partition, while leaving the Ubuntu alone. Now that Vista is set up and running, I cannot get to the OS selection screen at first boot. Anyone have any ideas?
[23:03] <filgy> megamonk: ok try making the directory c:\wubi\disks
[23:03] <filgy> megamonk: do this after you close the hanging install
[23:03] <krisives> Jorknow: You need to update your GRUB
[23:03] <Jorknow> and how do i go about doing that?
[23:03] <mrwes> krisives, apt-get source does not grab all the dependencies like apt-get install
[23:03] <krisives> Jorknow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[23:03] <AsgardBeast> Jorknow : You must update/reinstall grub.
[23:04] <megamonk> filgy: i tried that already... been tryimg to install it for 4 days now
[23:04] <krisives> mrwes: Thanks, I guess I can manually install the deps
[23:04] <bobo> hey guys, i have a 160 GB HDD, and so far have taken up about 20-30 GB on it (music, movies,etc..), but when i open nautilus it says i only have about 25GB left of space, what gives?
[23:04] <stefg> megamonk: is it really worth the effort to try 5 wubi installs vs. resizing your windows partition and go for the real bang? (which probably works wth less trouble)
[23:04] <filgy> megamonk: then put 1 files in that directory named "swap.disk"
[23:04] <mrwes> krisives, you might also look into checkinstall if you are installing from the source
[23:04] <filgy> megamonk: make the swap.disk file the size that you want your swap to be
[23:04] <mrwes> krisives, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall
[23:04] <Jorknow> thanks! will read and try!
[23:04] <Draggin> Cheers everyone - thanks for all the help :)
[23:05] <krisives> mrwes: Yeah, I know about CheckInstall, but it fails a lot on me. Do most packages have a make deb?
[23:05] <stefg> bobo: emty trash :-)
[23:06] <joeyeye> bobo: run disk usage analyzer ... or delete trash
[23:06] <filgy> megamonk: after you create that file.. try to install it through wubi without a swap partition
[23:06] <krisives> mrwes: How long does it take for a patch I make to hit a repo? A lot of people complain about bugs, and I would like to fix them more often and not send out .debs to them.
[23:06] <filgy> megamonk: then recreate that file if you need to after the install if it works
[23:06] <megamonk> filgy: i m an absolute newbie. can you please elaborate what u mean. i dont get it. how do it change size of swap disk within windows? what file to put and where? thanks
[23:06] <filgy> megamonk: you can put any file there that is the size you need
[23:06] <bobo> stefg: i already did that, i've no idea where all my space went
[23:06] <filgy> megamonk: just rename it to swap.disk
[23:07] <filgy> megamonk: you would do it using windows my computer... like you are copying then renaming any normal file
[23:07] <megamonk> but it already has a file named swap disk. its about 250mb
[23:08] <mrwes> krisives, subscribe to the bug at launchpad and you can keep yourself informed on the status and potential workarounds for bugs
[23:08] <megamonk> filgy: so i need to overwrite it?
[23:08] <mrwes> krisives, of course it all depends on the severity of the bug :)
[23:08] <krisives> mrwes: I am an experienced developer, just not familar with Ubuntu
[23:08] <joeyeye> bobo: run disk usage analyzer (baobab)
[23:09] <stefg> bobo: run baobab and find out
[23:09] <krisives> mrwes: I am more interested in fixing the bugs than reporting them
[23:09] <megamonk> filgy: because i looked at the folders, there is already a file nameds swap.disk
[23:09] <deany> ok, so I just made a user with useradd, giving the options to make the home folder and also supplied the password in the command line.. so why the hell do I have to sudo passwd user (supply password, even the same one) for it to let it login?  argh
[23:09] <mark_> how do I setup remote desktop?
[23:09] <filgy> megamonk: how big is the file that is already there?
[23:09] <mrwes> krisives, you could run the beta version of the next version due out in October -- code named Karmic Koala, join #ubuntu+1
[23:10] <deany> its pained me for 2 days. lol
[23:10] <bobo> joeyeye and stefg: ive already done that, but ill do it again and give you a screenshot to show you just how puzzled i am....
[23:10] <mark_> how do I setup remote desktop?
[23:10] <peniwize> Hi all.  How do I add a directory to my PATH environment variable for only one user in the system so that programs run from the gnome menu see it?
[23:10] <krisives> mrwes: How do most makefiles do creating debs? Or do they rely on checkinstall mostly
[23:10] <AsgardBeast> mark_ : System : Preferences : Remote Desktop
[23:11] <megamonk> filgy: about 250mb
[23:11] <filgy> megamonk: and you're sure you have plenty of free space on the hard drive that file is located on ?
[23:11] <mrwes> krisives, I never used a makefile to create a .deb; however I have used subversion to compile the latest and greatest of a few apps I choose
[23:12] <krisives> Is there a channel more suited for developers?
[23:12] <TFF> Hey everyone
[23:12] <joeyeye> bobo: cd / and then  run df .     then pastebin the output
[23:12] <mrwes> krisives, #ubuntu+1
[23:12] <mrwes> krisives, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion
[23:12] <megamonk> filgy: yes... i installed ubuntu on s separate partition 10gb in size
[23:12] <Sp3c1alK> is there an api for ubuntu? or some type of documentation for code, more specifically networking
[23:12] <filgy> megamonk: so you have another drive letter in my computer that is 10gb ?
[23:12] <bobo> ok
[23:13] <megamonk> yes
[23:13] <TFF> I'm wondering if anyone know of a package that will sort games into catagories - there was one in rpm for fedora - jusr can't remeber its name.
[23:13] <bobo> joeyeye ok
[23:13] <filgy> megamonk: ok.. well all i can really suggest then is to try to delete the swap.disk file then try to install again with wubi
[23:13] <filgy> megamonk: if that doesn't work i would suggest you just install ubuntu normally and use that 10gb partition for the ubuntu install...
[23:14] <megamonk> filgy: thanks ill try that now and come back for the results
[23:14] <bobo> joeyeye http://paste.ubuntu.com/246743/
[23:14] <burntresistor> anyone else can't connect to keyserver through terminal?
[23:15] <filgy> megamonk: np, sounds good
[23:15] <mizipzor> after installing kubuntu, apt-get seems to only care about packages found on the cd... how to make it check the online package repository?
[23:15] <Sindrake> hi is anyone here know how to get ubuntu on the right track
[23:16] <mrwes> krisives, if you're really serious you can ask about MOTU: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU

[23:16] <Sindrake> i got Compiz running smoothly and winXP loaded throught virtualbox but there are some amll annoyances that i cant seem to get pass
[23:16] <bitplane> and does anyone else find it irritating?
[23:16] <TFF> @ mizipzor - System > Administration > Software Sources
[23:17] <mizipzor> TFF: the system was installed from a kubuntu cd, hence its running kde and its software, im looking for a console only solution
[23:17] <joeyeye> bobo: what size hard drive is /dev/sda1 ?
[23:17] <VCoolio> bitplane: not at all, it's in compiz somewhere I think
[23:17] <deviant> Hrmm. Does anybody know of an NTFS volume size limitation with the ubuntu installer
[23:17] <TFF> ahh sry
[23:17] <bobo> joeyeye: about 140GB
[23:18] <Sindrake> first off Windows XP through virtualBox Will not detect any of my Drivers on my laptop,. Second i cant get my Ipod to even show up, Ive followed every forums rules,. and i cant get etc/fstab to give me permission

[23:18] <deviant> I have a 1TB external disk with 850gb of data on it and the installer fails to calculate the disk usage
[23:18] <deviant> and the drive doesn't mount in ubuntu
[23:18] <bobo> joeyeye: and you can find my disk usage output at http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=ezqln5&s=3

[23:19] <animesoup> for anyone who uses xmms ><
[23:19] <TFF> @Mizipzor : sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
[23:19] <mark_> !ubottu | anything
[23:20] <animesoup> XMMS says the soundcard is being used by another progran or something along those lines.
[23:20] <VCoolio> bitplane: hovering a window border changes workspace?
[23:20] <Sindrake> how do i get permission to run etc/fstab
[23:20] <joeyeye> bobo: i don't see the pic ...
[23:20] <bobo> hold on... ill do it again
[23:20] <bitplane> VCoolio: only while scrolling, so if i miss a scrollbar and hit the window border then WHOOSH I'm on desktop 4
[23:21] <TFF> I'm wondering if anyone know of a package that will sort games into catagories - there was one in rpm for fedora - jusr can't remeber its name.
