[16:13] <ubuntunewbie> pepperjack: which icon i need to click to run ?
[16:13] <NETabuse> ubuntunewbie, when you install as suggested here in the channel today, you end up with both versions of firefox in your applications->internet  menu
[16:14] <thiebaude> Maximo, and also www.help.ubuntu.com/community/RestirctedFormats
[16:14] <pepperjack> ubuntunewbie: after you unpack it youll have a firefox folder. inside that is a firefox executable. just double-click
[16:14] <Dr_willis> NETabuse:   ive no idea how to set that up. or if it works that way.   I just recall that supposed to be a feature..
[16:14] <NETabuse> ubuntunewbie, firefox 3.5 is named shiritoko web browser in the menu,
[16:14] <pepperjack> ubuntunewbie: you can then make a shortcut to it and put it on your gnome-panel or whatever
[16:14] <NETabuse> Dr_willis, i'll let you nkow if i succeed :)
[16:14] <melchess> Hello all.
[16:15] <DBAlex> how do I write a bash if statement on one line?
[16:15] <ubuntunewbie> pepperjack: I click the firefox on the folder but it launch firefox 3.0 with all the same extension
[16:15] <Maximo> legend2440: it did not work for me....I am using 3.5
[16:15] <grawity> DBAlex: if condition; then command; another-command; else yet-another-command; fi
[16:15] <ubuntunewbie> NETabuse: sorry I dont understand what do you mean
[16:15] <Maximo> thiebaude: let me try that site
[16:15] <thiebaude> ok
[16:15] <melchess> I'm wondering if anyone can help? I have a terminal problem. :\
[16:16] <ubuntunewbie> pepperjack: clicking the shell script right ?
[16:16] <BingO> HI Room.. hope i will get solution from here..
[16:16] <marqueed> hi - how do people with iphones deal with syncing?
[16:16] <Decon> hey.. I've got "syslogd 1.4.1#17ubuntu7: restart."... which is normal.. but sometimes it reboots my actual system :/ .. anyone know why ?
[16:16] <BingO> i have configured vsftpd fine and service is runing also fine..
[16:16] <Maximo> thiebaude: you get that from repo ---> <thiebaude> Maximo, i think you need the wmv, codecs
[16:16] <legend2440> Maximo: open firefox and in address bar type      about:plugins   and see if you have   Windows Media Player Plug-in 10 (compatible; Totem)
[16:17] <thiebaude> Maximo, yes
[16:17] <BingO> when i do $ftp localhost and then enter user/pass which created by default methond then it sayd
[16:17] <marqueed> virtualbox running vista is one solution... i'm using that presently but it's not the best of all possible
[16:17] <Maximo> legend2440: okay
[16:17] <BingO> 500 Oops: cannot change directory /home/user
[16:17] <Maximo> thiebaude: thanks alot
[16:17] <BingO> login fail
[16:17] <NETabuse> ubuntunewbie, install the firefox-3.5  packages by running "sudo aptitude install firefox-3.5"  in a terminal window, that will install the 3.5 browser in paralel with 3.1
[16:17] <thiebaude> np
[16:17] <Maximo> brb
[16:17] <pepperjack> ubuntunewbie: so after downloading you should have a like firefox.tar.gz file correct?  you open that up and inside is a firefox folder.  you drag that firefox folder to the desktop to extract it.  you then click on that folder and nautilus file manager opens and inside is a bunch of files one of which is just named 'firefox' that is the executable
[16:17] <BingO> what will be solution of this problem..
[16:18] <thiebaude> Maximo, tell me if your station plays
[16:18] <NETabuse> ubuntunewbie, then in your applications->internet menu's you will have botht he firefox icon and a new icon called "shiritoko Web Browser" which is firefox 3.5, you can run both simultaniously
[16:18] <BingO> 500 Oops : cannot change directory /home/user
[16:18] <Maximo> ok
[16:18] <TwoToneSpirit> Bing0: why are you using vsftp instead of SSH?
[16:18] <pepperjack> ubuntunewbie: so /home/ubuntunewbiew/Desktop/firefox/firefox would be the command to launch
[16:18] <thiebaude> Maximo, with that staion my bad its wma, windows media audio codecs
[16:19] <mattano> im having trouble with a fresh install of mythbuntu and my audio.  heres whats up, mythbuntu finds my on board card, play plays my file, alsamixer seems like it works, speakers are on, plug is in the right place.... no audio, am i missing something?
[16:19] <lightpriest> i'm trying to chdir into /var/log/apache2 using the user www-data (su www-data) but it fails, any ideas?

[16:19] <hdon> hi all. where can i report bugs?

[16:22] <grawity> Decon: If nobody answers, it means nobody knows.
[16:22] <Decon> :(
[16:22] <Decon> damn
[16:22] <lightpriest> grawity, it's the wierdest thing i ever had. just to be sure, i gave it 0777 and i don't have SELinux
[16:22] <uknow> can someone help me editing some thing in xorg.coonf
[16:23] <grawity> Decon: Also explaining your problem might help.
[16:23] <lightpriest> grawity, or any ACL implementation for that matter
[16:23] <BingO> listen guys .. when yo uface any kind of prob regarding Vsftpd watch out SELINUX
[16:23] <melchess> I have a problem, when I type emerald --replace, it sets up the theme just fine, but if I close the terminal at any point in time, the theme goes away and no titlebar can be seen. ?.?
[16:23] <Dr_willis> It pays to be concise, and verbose in referance to linux issues.
[16:23] <Dr_willis> melchess:  dont use the CLOSE button.. use the 'exit' command.
[16:23] <BingO> lightpriest: what happend ? whats da issue
[16:23] <grawity> melchess: emerald runs in the terminal you started it from.
[16:23] <grawity> Dr_willis: Same thing.
[16:23] <lightpriest> melchess, Do alt+f2 and run emerald --replace from there
[16:23] <Dr_willis> melchess:  emerals --replace &, then 'exit'
[16:24] <grawity> Dr_willis: Either use this:   ( emerald --replace & )
[16:24] <Dr_willis> melchess:  get away from teh habbit of using the 'close' button to close out terminals.
[16:24] <grawity> Dr_willis: Or this:    emerald --replace & disown
[16:24] <pepperjack> uknow: ls /etc/X11/ make sure you even have a file there. by default it no longer will exist
[16:24] <lightpriest> melchess, Also lookup the package compiz-fusion-icon
[16:24] <Dr_willis> even with the &, hitting the close button can force it to quit. best to use 'exit' command.
[16:24] <yigal> how do I change the status of all packages installed by automatically to manual?
[16:24] <Decon> ok grawity, u know how syslogd restarts everyday right ?... well sometimes when it restarts, my whole computer restarts :/
[16:24] <uknow__> can someone help me editing some thing in xorg.coonf
[16:24] <uknow__> sure
[16:24] <grawity> Dr_willis: Dude, "exit" still does EXACTLY the same.
[16:24] <uknow__> i need to change the driver name but i dont know were to put the name
[16:24] <baws> hey guys!
[16:24] <grawity> melchess: " ( emerald --replace & ) "
[16:25] <thiebaude> uknow, video driver?
[16:25] <grawity> melchess: Or " emerald --replace & disown "
[16:25] <uknow__> yeah
[16:25] <baws> i heard you guys are pro's and can fix a problem i have!
[16:25] <baws> you tihnk you guys can manage it?
[16:25] <Segaja> hi, i have a problem with nfs under ubuntu
[16:25] <baws> its a serious head scratcher
[16:25] <Dr_willis> grawity:  no it does not. it depends on the programs  from what ive seen.  i have seen programs launched with & still get forced to 'exit' when you use the close button. and NOt the 'exit' command.
[16:25] <thiebaude> uknow, video Section:
[16:25] <Segaja> it is extremly slow
[16:25] <uknow__> yeah the driver name
[16:25] <Titan8990_> grawity, only the 2nd one will continue after the terminal is closed
[16:25] <uknow__> i think
[16:25] <causasui> in ubuntu when I press alt-f2 to open the "Run Application" dialog, a list of installed programs shows up that autocompletes. How can I add my own entries to this list, complete with the program icon?
[16:25] <melchess> grawity: thank you that fixed it. :)
[16:25] <Dr_willis> grawity:  if you want to get real old-skool use the 'nohup' command. :)
[16:25] <grawity> Titan8990_: The first one will, if you don't forget the brackets around it.
[16:25] <melchess> no, wait.. it didn't
[16:25] <grawity> Titan8990_: Double-fork trick or something.
[16:26] <uknow__> they want me to change it to ......Driver "sis671"
[16:26] <melchess> closed the terminal and it still failed :\
[16:26] <grawity> melchess: Which one did you use?
[16:26] <pepperjack> causasui: i dont know offhand.  might /join #gnome they might tell you right away
[16:26] <Titan8990_> grawity, oh, interesting
[16:26] <melchess> which command?
[16:26] <billisnice> I still can not get youtube or hulu to work, i will have to switch back to window xp. Not sure why ubutu folks can not fix the thing.
[16:26] <billisnice> the sound to work
[16:26] <lightpriest> baws, go ahead
[16:26] <uknow__> but i dont know if sis671 goess across from driver if it matters
[16:26] <grawity> Dr_willis: Even with "exit", background jobs still get SIGHUP when closing the shell.
[16:26] <grawity> melchess: Which command did you use?
[16:26] <hdon> is there a channel with a bot that announces new ubuntu bug reports as they are made?
[16:26] <thiebaude> billisnice, you got your flash installed?
[16:26] <Titan8990_> billisnice, did you install flashplayer?
[16:26] <hdon> like an ubuntu hacker channel?
[16:26] <melchess> grawity, emerald --replace&
[16:26] <billisnice> yes, i see the movies, but no sound
[16:27] <baws> ok, so, i have recently reformatted, and for SOME reason, when I play my favourite game 'Counterstrike 1.6' I STUTTER! i get mini lag spikes, espacially when i shoot
[16:27] <pepperjack> billisnice: about:plugins  <--in firefox adressbar make sure flash shows up
[16:27] <grawity> melchess: You need to put brackets around it
[16:27] <Titan8990_> melchess, thats not what he told you
[16:27] <thiebaude> billisnice, 64 bit
[16:27] <Maximo> thiebaude: no play
[16:27] <billisnice> 32 bi
[16:27] <baws> I have tried so many solutions, there is litrally NO fix so far
[16:27] <thiebaude> maxagaz, ahh man
[16:27] <grawity> melchess: Or if you don't, at least run "disown" after starting Emerald.
[16:27] <baws> No one on google has figured out what is the problem!
[16:27] <melchess> grawity, how so?
[16:27] <Dr_willis> grawity:  and from what ive seen most some how properly spawn to the background with exit.  - but go do what you want..  ive only been using exit for the last 13+ years...
[16:27] <grawity> melchess:     ( emerald --replace & )
[16:27] <thiebaude> maxagaz, it worked for me
[16:27] <Maximo> legend2440: all plugins enabled and installed
[16:27] <grawity> melchess: WITH the ( ) things.
[16:27] <thiebaude> wrong name
[16:27] <thiebaude> maximo
[16:27] <Dr_willis> bye all.. have fun.
[16:27] <pepperjack> billisnice: if you pkill firefox; firefox&  no sound?
[16:27] <lightpriest> baws,
[16:27] <lightpriest> baws, you're using wine right?
[16:27] <Segaja> is it normal, that accessing a nfs mounted folder under ubuntu is so slow, that it takes one minute to tab-complete the name
[16:28] <Segaja> ?
[16:28] <baws> nope, not using WINE
[16:28] <baws> i am on windows XP
[16:28] <billisnice> i tried reinstalling firefox and flash
[16:28] <pepperjack> Segaja: in nautilus?  could be ;p
[16:28] <billisnice> still no sound. It worked with 8.04
[16:28] <grawity> pepperjack: how the hell do you tab-complete in Nautilus, tell me
[16:28] <melchess> (emerald --replace &) fixed the problem, thank you all who helped. :)
[16:28] <pepperjack> Segaja: ive often found nautilus horrible for network shares
[16:28] <lightpriest> baws, so what does it have to do with ubuntu? :)
[16:28] <Segaja> in console, pepperjack
[16:28] <baws> litrally nothing lightpriest, but i thought you guys would still be geniuses with pc's
[16:28] <baws> lol
[16:28] <legend2440> Maximo: open synaptic do you have   totem-plugins  installed?
[16:29] <lightpriest> baws, heh
[16:29] <grawity> baws: geniuses are in ##linux
[16:29] <Decon> anyone know why my pc sometimes reboots after syslogd restart ??  "Jul 22 04:00:32 decon syslogd 1.5.0#1ubuntu1: restart. | Jul 22 04:00:32 decon kernel: Cannot find map file...."
[16:29] <baws> ya but they wont be happy when they find out
[16:29] <baws> i am on windows xp
[16:29] <legend2440> Maximo: open synaptic do you have   totem-plugins  and totem-mozilla   installed?
[16:29] <grawity> baws: ##windows then
[16:29] <jrib> baws: ##windows
[16:29] <pepperjack> Segaja: no should be very snappy.  an alternative might be sshfs. it has advantage of being a lot more secure than nfs share
[16:29] <baws> perfect!
[16:29] <baws> is this irc server some sort of tech support server?
[16:29] <grawity> pepperjack: I prefer GNOME's SFTP support over sshfs
[16:30] <jrib> baws: no but it hosts mostly open source projects
[16:30] <Maximo> legend2440: yes
[16:30] <grawity> baws: The Freenode network mostly deals with open-source software, yeah.
[16:30] <mbeierl> Stupid question: somehow the background to my gnome panel applets has changed to some sort of pattern and I cannot figure out how to get it back to solid colour or transparent - Anyone?
[16:30] <baws> thats nice
[16:30] <Segaja> pepperjack: security is not the issue since it is lan-network internal
[16:30] <Maximo> legend2440: hangon ...I am still with firefox 3.0.11
[16:30] <Segaja> but the access works from a fedora system at normal speed
[16:30] <ibnulislam> Any one know about apt-get host repository url syntax and definition?
[16:30] <Segaja> but not from ubuntu
[16:31] <Maximo> legend2440: how to upgrade it and have it working
[16:31] <Maximo> ?
[16:31] <Maximo> legend2440: my version of firefox is : 3.0.11 still

[16:36] <jaimani> i cant get x to start can u help
[16:37] <uknow__> is there any type of driver installer
[16:37] <mbeierl> bastidrazor: that does not list the background.  anywhere else?
[16:37] <hdon> Pici: ah, that's good to know! thanks!
[16:37] <bastidrazor> mbeierl, you have a general and a background tab .. click the background tab
[16:37] <mbeierl> bastidrazor: the properties for the panel are fine, sorry - it's the applets that have a background that I do not want
[16:38] <insomen4o> newbie help: what was the command in bash, where, when I type something like "ifconfig" and I get the output to a file? I've tried ifconfig | touch file1 but didn't work
[16:38] <Pici> insomen4o: ifconfig > file1
[16:38] <mbeierl> bastidrazor: ALL the applets share this patterned background, but the panel is transparent.  I want to get rid of the pattern for the background but do not know how.
[16:38] <insomen4o> 10x
[16:39] <bastidrazor> mbeierl, if should change according to the panel background, since it has not i do not have any idea on how to fix
[16:40] <mbeierl> bastidrazor: yep - I'm at a loss.  I was playing around with the appearance app (preferences) and one of the themes I clicked on installed this patten and now nothing I can do will get rid of it !?!

[16:41] <NEBAP> hey guys, I've installed the texlive package, but can't find any new installed software.. Must I install additional editor software?
[16:41] <bastidrazor> mbeierl, possibly dig around in configuring the theme to see if you can find something
[16:42] <mbeierl> bastidrazor: hee hee... tried that too :(  Do you know how to get to the GTK settings - maybe that's where it got set?
[16:42] <aaronvarghese> I need guidence on remote desktop what you need and how you use it to conect to a windows machien
[16:42] <ghost> ehm... sry are here germans ?
[16:42] <jrib> NEBAP: well texlive just lets you run latex on a text file.  Use your favorite editor.  Maybe you wanted something like kile or winefish?
[16:42] <legend2440> !de
[16:43] <Maximo> legend2440: like this from my pc --->http://paste.ubuntu.com/224435/
[16:43] <mbeierl> aaronvarghese: there's a program called rdesktop and it will connect you to a windows desktop
[16:43] <NEBAP> jrib: I didn't use any, which one do you recommend for a beginner?
[16:43] <NEBAP> ghost: yes, but I wouldn't be a big help ..
[16:43] <bastidrazor> mbeierl, gconf-editor possibly
[16:43] <uknow__> do any one know any thing about installing vido drivers
[16:43] <jrib> NEBAP: I use vim for latex and don't know much about any of the others.  Try winefish and kile and see if you like them.   You can also just use gedit, it should have a latex plugin
[16:43] <pepperjack> aaronvarghese: rdesktop is actually pretty great i much prefer it to the windows app because you can easily specify geometry and adjust the screen size and stuff
[16:43] <NEBAP> jrib: k, thank you :)

[16:52] <eurisko> hi everyone i updated today to Jaunty, and my hostname started being set up. it appears as (none) . But if run dhclient by hand it gets right. What script is responsible for setting the hostname?
[16:52] <jaypur_mb> mattgyver, yeah but you need to write at the terminal right?
[16:52] <eurythmia> thanasis, you can ask here. it is considered tude to pm folks without asking them first.
[16:52] <Trolly> Thats really terrible, isnt it?
[16:52] <mattgyver> jaypur_mb, yes
[16:52] <eurythmia> s/tude/rude/
[16:53] <jaypur_mb> mattgyver, i think there is only this way out....
[16:53] <jaypur_mb> mattgyver, i'm a little bit tired later i'll see that

[16:54] <nsahoo> hi .. I am trying to use vpn with jaunty. school provides cisco vpn. How do I make it work with ubuntu at home. I installed vpnc, thought that was needed. but, lost after that
[16:54] <Trolly> You must delete VPNC
[16:55] <eurythmia> thanasis, it is considered rude because, among other reasons, I was in "the zone" and xchat flashed with your message to me. Now I'm distracted and just lost tens of minutes of productivity.  You had no reason to target me for the question, asking in the main room would have gotten you a sufficient result.
[16:55] <bo7amny> every time i run the command (gnome-terminal --command="read ok") it show a new terminal window and go a way very quick , how can i make it not go a way ?
[16:55] <crazysoul> anybody got some time to help me with a fresh Ubuntu-studio install that hangs while booting?
[16:55] <Trolly> Away with VPNC!
[16:55] <trayzz> does anybody here uses xchat irc client?
[16:55] <oskar-> Trolly:  halt den rand.
[16:55] <Trolly> I!
[16:56] <candive> ! pastebin
[16:56] <trayzz> how do i disconnect from a server?
[16:56] <trayzz> @trolly btw
[16:56] <Trolly> Pasta? Is here any Pasta?
[16:56] <bastidrazor> !studio > crazysoul
[16:56] <trayzz> try sudo food-get pasta
[16:56] <Trolly> Hmmmm... I love Pasta, you know?

[17:28] <ubuntunewbie> pepperjack: sorry pepperjack , I am able to install firefox 3.5.1 , but it overwrite my current 3.0
[17:28] <nsahoo> an alternative to vpn could be that I create an ssh tunnel to my school computer and change the proxy connection to use it? what is wrong with that?
[17:29] <sdasfht> bala:i think wine=cant
[17:29] <ubuntunewbie> pepperjack: the problem is because I didn't close the downloadThemAll! plugin.
[17:29] <ubuntunewbie> pepperjack: I had close firefox but not the download manager , that's why it doesn't install
[17:29] <bobbob1016> I'm trying to get firefox 3.5 installed, but it only installs either 3.0.12 or 3.5.2pre, how can I get 3.5.1 installed?

[18:45] <RenagadeX> si
[18:45] <Teknoenie> alexnet: you might want to check that next time
[18:46] <Flare183> antigen: Yeah, dhclient is a program (I think) that connects/bind your ip to your wired/wireless device
[18:46] <Teknoenie> you may be compromised if you are unable to identify it easily
[18:46] <Pici> trayzz_: Its not a terminal command. YOu should have gotten a private message from ubottu talking about fonts in Ubuntu.
[18:46] <bastidrazor> twig11, be SURE.. you've typed the UUID correcdtly. if not you are going to have problems
[18:46] <alexnet> Teknoenie what would it mean if there was or wasn't a corresponding pid?
[18:46] <trayzz_> oh yea
[18:46] <trayzz_> i got it
[18:46] <bastidrazor> twig11, the fstab info must be exact or it won't mount
[18:46] <Teknoenie> you may be compromised if you are unable to identify it easily
[18:46] <twig11> bastidrazor: I copy-pasted the uuid
[18:46] <trayzz_> pici got it, thanks
[18:46] <antigen> Flare183 : what to do want me to do, i typed that in
[18:46] <alexnet> Teknoenie, ah okay thanks. I'll check out both areas next time i have this problem
[18:46] <alexnet> Teknoenie, thank you
[18:46] <twig11> does the whitespace matter?
[18:46] <Teknoenie> no probs
[18:46] <Flare183> antigen: Press enter
[18:46] <bastidrazor> twig11, okay, once you remove and remake the /home directory you're all set. good luck.
[18:46] <antigen> Flare183 : i did,
[18:47] <Flare183> antigen: It should output some stuff
[18:47] <antigen> Flare183 :) / it says wmaster-: unknown hardware address
[18:47] <RenagadeX> When I mount my external hard drive, I only have read privileges, not write privileges. Can someone help?
[18:47] <Flare183> RenagadeX: Mount it with root, and read it with that
[18:47] <mbnoimi> how I can empty root trash ?
[18:48] <RenagadeX> Flare183, use sudo?
[18:48] <Flare183> RenagadeX: Yes
[18:48] <iceblock> monring
[18:48] <iceblock> morning
[18:48] <RenagadeX> Flare183, I already do
[18:48] <Ddorda> is it possible to close X without getting back to the GDM?
[18:48] <antigen> Flare183 : unknown hardware address type 001 / then it does a bunch of lintening on/sending on strings / then dhcpdiscover dhcpoffer my local ip
[18:48] <bastidrazor> Ddorda, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[18:48] <mattgyver> RenagadeX, maybe run as sudo and change the permissions
[18:48] <eurisko> hi which script defines $HOSTNAME ?
[18:48] <Flare183> RenagadeX: Ok, goto the /root folder and control+h
[18:48] <Ddorda> bastidrazor: and then killing X?
[18:48] <Flare183> RenagadeX: That'll show the hidden folders
[18:48] <eurisko> i can't find out why is getting == (none)
[18:49] <SnakePlisken> eurisko: /etc/profile
[18:49] <pepperjack> Ddorda: same syntax to restart it ie stop, start, restart
[18:49] <bastidrazor> Ddorda, that will kill x and keep it from starting back
[18:49] <doesntwork> hi! i have quite a big problem: i have a radeon hd4870 and i had catalyst drivers installed, somehow (i was drunk or something) i installed the fglrx stuff on top of it (via the "install proprietary hardware drivers thingy"). so now i cant boot up properly (graphics dont work). i already booted up in recovery mode and uninstalled fglrx again. but i STILL cant boot up properly (same graphic error). so i wanna delete all catalyst a
[18:49] <twig11> bastidrazor: thanks. I need someone to look over my /etc/fstab file to make sure its right.
[18:49] <Flare183> RenagadeX: and the trash folder should be in a .gnome folder
[18:49] <eurisko> tks SnakePlisken
[18:49] <SnakePlisken> np
[18:49] <RenagadeX> Flare183, I dont have permissions?
[18:49] <Ddorda> bastidrazor & pepperjack, thanks a lot
[18:49] <antigen> Flare183 : ah thank you - it connected to the net now, how do i repair my previous crash during the update?
[18:49] <bastidrazor> twig11, pastebin it and ask.. i have to run. good luck
[18:49] <RenagadeX> lol im relatively new to linux
[18:49]  * Teknoenie is away: Working on Ubuntu preseed/kickstarting
[18:49] <twig11> bastidrazor: thanks for your help
[18:49] <Pici> !away > Teknoenie
[18:49] <Flare183> antigen: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[18:49] <bastidrazor> twig11, pastebin your fstab and sudo blkid info. that way one can be sure all is correct
[18:50] <Flare183> RenagadeX: No
[18:50] <twig11> okay thanks
[18:50] <SnakePlisken> RenagadeX: Its hard to learn it all on a single hackout eh ? :)
[18:50] <RenagadeX> yes
[18:50] <mbnoimi> how I can empty root trash ?
[18:50] <SnakePlisken> Time is always on your side
[18:50]  * Flare183 facepalms
[18:50] <RenagadeX> Flare183, so how do I get permissions to open root?
[18:51] <SnakePlisken> All power to the facepalms! :)
[18:51] <Flare183> RenagadeX: Press Alt+f2 and type this in: gksudo nautilus
[18:52] <RenagadeX> Flare183, Im in
[18:52] <antigen> Flare183 : is that to upgrade to 9.04? or will that correct the problems in the past during the power outage DURING my last updates to 8.10? in update manager all it shows after checking is new distribution available, but there seems to be some problems from before
[18:53] <RenagadeX> Flare183, what now?
[18:53] <wwsemir1> h
[18:53] <pt1989> ububot whats new
[18:54] <pt1989> ubottu whats new?
[18:54] <SnakePlisken> antigen: if updates are still working itll be ok given a bit of time. Is it behaving in a way you frown upon ?
[18:54] <ubuntunewbie> hi , I got a problem , the partition editor gone.I can't find it at System>Administrator>Partition Editor.Any help ?
[18:54] <pt1989> ubottu, my firefox crashes, any help?
[18:54] <pt1989> ubottu -help
[18:54] <RenagadeX> !firefox
[18:54] <pt1989> !firefox
[18:54] <erUSUL> ubuntunewbie: install it again ?
[18:54] <Pici> pt1989: ubottu is not a person, it cannot help you.
[18:54] <SiVA_> sometimes my sound will just randomly stop working. I have to restart the computer for it to fix itself. Restarting X isn't enough
[18:54] <Qu4R0w> what apps to edit .pdf file?
[18:54] <pt1989> Pici, i know
[18:54] <erUSUL> !gparted | ubuntunewbie
[18:54] <SnakePlisken> pt1989: remove it with the package manager then add it anew
[18:54] <Pici> pt1989: Then stop playing with it.
[18:54] <pt1989> i wanted to see how advanced it's AI is
[18:55] <ubuntunewbie> erUSUL: why does it gone ?
[18:55] <RenagadeX> Flare183, what now?
[18:55] <dads> yesterday i did a format of linux mint and mandrake and installed u buntu..  I had truble with video but got the flash working.. it is really choppy is there anything else i can do?
[18:55] <SiVA_> when I try to start Amarok for instance, it says "XINE was unable to initialize any audio-drivers" (ubuntu 8.10)
[18:55] <erUSUL> ubuntunewbie: dunno... try to run it grom console
[18:55] <pt1989> so my firefox is very  unstable
[18:55] <ascheel> pt1989: it's not an AI.  It's just a script.
[18:55] <Flare183> RenagadeX: Look in the /media/ folder
[18:55] <SnakePlisken> pt1989: '76 is where the power's at :P
[18:55] <ubuntunewbie> erUSUL: it just goes missing like that
[18:55] <SiVA_> is there a way to restart just the sound system?
[18:55] <madalin> hello, how could i check if one of my LAN cards is failing (broken) ?
[18:55] <Flare183> RenagadeX: It should be in there (the external HD)
[18:55] <ubuntunewbie> erUSUL: grom console ?
[18:55] <pt1989> :)
[18:55] <erUSUL> !cli | ubuntunewbie
[18:55] <ubuntunewbie> erUSUL: Is there anyway to launch it ?
[18:55] <Flare183> SiVA_: suod /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart
[18:55] <pt1989> so i got this 3.5 and 3.01 installed
[18:55] <SnakePlisken> :)
[18:55] <RenagadeX> Flare183, in root or in file system?
[18:55] <Qu4R0w> what apps to edit .pdf file?
[18:55] <pt1989> both are highly unstable
[18:55] <erUSUL> ubuntunewbie: or alt + f2
[18:56] <Flare183> RenagadeX: Root = File System
[18:56] <RenagadeX> ohh not root folder?
[18:56] <twig11> Will somebody look at this and tell me if it looks right? Bastidrazor told me the following: the next step is to type cd / then sudo rm -Rf home/ ..this will delete the current home. then sudo mkdir home ..this makes any empty directory. now reboot and your home on sda6 will mount to /home .
[18:56] <antigen> Flare183 : well after the power outage during the updates in 8.10, firefox wont launch properly, somehow it did just once, missing icons in the system tray area. very sluggish - will the upgrade in terminal fix what was broken possibly?
[18:56] <SnakePlisken> pt1989: Holy crap, that cant be good :P
[18:56] <Flare183> antigen: Yes
[18:56] <ubuntunewbie> erUSUL: can't find thepartiton editor
[18:56] <cTn> hi guys, can somoene pls show me how i can update from stable kernel, to "development one" ? i mean to upgrade to kernel usade in 9.10 alpha, i dont want to upgrade hole distro
[18:56] <madalin> twig11: don't do that. It will remove anything (almost) from your linux OS :)
[18:56] <SiVA_> Flare183: I still get the same problem
[18:57] <pt1989> SnakePlisken, so when will  3.5 be override 3.01 ?
[18:57] <twig11> Please somebody check my fstab and blkid info here. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2b4e2c8 and tell me if it looks right.
[18:57] <madalin> hello, how could i check if one of my LAN cards is failing (broken) ?
[18:57] <ubuntunewbie> erUSUL: weird , it suddenly gone just like that
[18:57] <RenagadeX> Flare183,  I put it in my desktop...
[18:57] <pt1989> madalin, try ifconfig
[18:57] <RenagadeX> Flare183, its not mounted now
[18:57] <pt1989> Alt-F2 -> gnome-terminal -> type ifconfig
[18:57] <erUSUL> ubuntunewbie: nstall it again... maybe you uninstalled something gparted depended on and apt removed it
[18:57] <pt1989> see how many are listed
[18:57] <twig11> madalin: Did you see what I'm trying to do?
[18:57] <SnakePlisken> pt1989: Did your old 5"15 floppy play "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" ? :) ...
[18:57] <madalin> twig11: yes, sorry. It's actually removing your /home directory
[18:57] <erUSUL> twig11: if dev/sda6 has a copy of your home i do not see a problem with that instructions
[18:58] <ubuntunewbie> erUSUL: check at synaptic , it does uninstall.Now installing it
[18:58] <pt1989> SnakePlisken, huh?
[18:58] <erUSUL> twig11: but double check. data loss is not funny
[18:58] <antigen> Flare183 : yes firefox stopped responding, argh - was this b/c of the power update during upgrade? i never had experienced this before since updating back from 7.04
[18:58] <madalin> pt1989: i'm ssh'd into the server. What am i looking for ? ifup/ifdown eth2 (the failing card) doesn't output anything in messages/syslog ..
[18:58] <ubuntunewbie> erUSUL: thanks , installed already
[18:58] <masquerade> erUSUL: i have data loss every few months
[18:58] <SnakePlisken> pt1989: Older thing, but very funny.
[18:58] <twig11> erUSUL: okay, but I need somebody to take a look at this and tell me if it looks right: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2b4e2c8
[18:58] <pt1989> SnakePlisken, ok
[18:58] <masquerade> erUSUL: usually a fsck fixes it
[18:58] <Flare183> antigen: Yes, thats is the reason
[18:58] <erUSUL> masquerade: and still you do not do backups...
[18:58] <ScK> ...
[18:59] <erUSUL> masquerade: or change your disks
[18:59] <Flare183> RenagadeX: Then mount it
[18:59] <SnakePlisken> pt1989: It was done by moving the read head of the old floppies... to play songs :)
[18:59] <masquerade> erUSUL: i dont have money for a new disk and for the first thing, i dont have any data on my computer that could get lost
[18:59] <pt1989> ok
[18:59] <masquerade> erUSUL: i pack up important things on the internet, but thats not much
[18:59] <antigen> Flare183 : that sucks. i rebooted my laptop , is there a way to do a safe upgrade w/o loading ubuntu desktop?
[18:59] <erUSUL> masquerade: ok; fair enoug then ;)
[19:00] <antigen> Flare183 : i have grub on a dual boot OS
[19:00] <Flare183> antigen: :S Sorta, but you'll have to use the terminal
[19:00] <madalin> how can i find out if one of my ethernet cards is failing ? messages/syslog doesn't contain anything when ifup or ifdown..
[19:00] <mattgyver> twig11, it looks okay... just make sure the sudo blkid half is not in there
[19:00] <Flare183> madalin: open a terminal and type in dmesg
[19:00] <twig11> mattgyver: right. it isn't
[19:01] <xor> Hi there.
[19:01] <twig11> mattgyver: do you know what I'm trying to do?
[19:01] <mattgyver> twig11, then you should be okay
[19:01] <antigen> Flare183 : ok what would i do? i am about to turn back the laptop and i have a bunch of grub launch options
[19:01] <mattgyver> twig11, yes
[19:01] <madalin> Flare183: what should i look for ?
[19:01] <kins> my system restarts immediately when hibernate or suspend is given after hibernating/suspend..can anyone help
[19:01] <erUSUL> twig11: looks ok... but the uuid of the home should not have the double quotes ?
[19:01] <SnakePlisken> antigen: boot cd -> rescue mode -> chroot /path/to/the/mounted/device_mnt -> grub-install /dev/sdaX
[19:01] <Flare183> antigen: just boot, it up but don't login
[19:01] <Guest179> b

[19:01] <RenagadeX> Flare183, nautilus isnt starting
[19:02] <SnakePlisken> antigen: np

[19:02] <antigen> or Flare183 : is this not recommened to do and load up normally and install like you said : sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:02] <SnakePlisken> RenagadeX: dbus running ?
[19:02] <madalin> Flare183: what should i look for ?
[19:02] <RenagadeX> SnakePlisken, I have no idea
[19:03] <Flare183> antigen: Well, its not that. Its just that you mean not be able to connect to the internet while logging in
[19:03] <SnakePlisken> RenagadeX: ps ax | grep dbus
[19:03] <Flare183> madalin: I have no idea
[19:03] <cmelo> Buy a Nvida card, you will have no issues :)
[19:03]  * Flare183 is overwhelmed
[19:03] <twig11> erUSUL: mattgyver: okay I took the quotes from around the uuid in fstab. can one of you double-check my commands as I try to delete my home folder and reboot?
[19:03] <xor> Why does the cursor change to an arrow on maximized windows when I move it to the top of the window and to the left of the window?
[19:03] <Samm> Flare183:  How?
[19:03] <mattgyver> twig11, yes which command?
[19:04] <SnakePlisken> RenagadeX: if you get more then 1 line itll be ok, most likely
[19:04] <Flare183> Samm: Trying to answer too many people's questions
[19:04] <erUSUL> twig11: you can boot to test the setup without removing the home dir... once you checked averything is ok you can boot into recovery mode umount home and remove the home dir
[19:04] <Flare183> Samm: All at once
[19:04] <Samm> Flare183: That can be quite a pain.
[19:04] <RenagadeX> SnakePlisken, well, nautilus is working now
[19:04] <Flare183> Samm: Yes, it is
[19:04] <twig11> erUSUL: okay, you're saying I can check now just by rebooting?
[19:05] <erUSUL> twig11: yep
[19:05] <antigen> SnakePlisken : what was that you had written earlier? i was just going to do an upgrade to 9.04 from what Flare183 said in terminal : sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:05] <SnakePlisken> RenagadeX: Im not following, why do you involve nautilus in this ?
[19:05] <twig11> erUSUL: okay here goes.
[19:06] <RenagadeX> SnakePlisken, flare told me to. IDK why but I have write privilages now so Im good
[19:06] <SnakePlisken> antigen: "sudo apt-get update" (Always do this first) then "sudo apt-get upgrade" then "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[19:06] <callahad> Hi, I'm having issues with dual monitors -- they work fine once I log in (yay xrandr), but break in odd ways at the initial gdm prompt. Is there any way to apply the Gnome xrandr settings system-wide, instead of just to my account?
[19:07] <twig11> erUSUL: one thing that complicates it is that I had set up three user accounts in /home on the old installation. Will those users automatically be available now?
[19:08] <callahad> Or, secondarily, is there any way to have Ubuntu dump a verbose xorg.conf, instead of the mostly-empty one I have right now?
[19:08] <syntax> what program works works like cooledit for ubuntu?
[19:08] <ubuntunewbie> erUSUL: hi , I had another question wanted to ask
[19:08] <SnakePlisken> callahad: settings such as ?
[19:08] <erUSUL> twig11: yep; if you copied all the contects of hoem to the other partition everything should be the same as before
[19:08] <erUSUL> !ask | ubuntunewbie
[19:08] <ubuntunewbie> erUSUL: or ok
[19:08] <SnakePlisken> syntax: mcedit (MC itself has been destroyed for a few years now)
[19:09] <cmelo> anyone have an issue with Stickam?  How can i get my video to work and chat to display?  I have reinstalled flash

[19:09] <twig11> erUSUL: sweet. it looks like everything's here. now how do I delete the other home directory.
[19:09] <timbojimbo> hi, I have a nvidia graphics card and use the nvidia x server settings to display on my t.v. I was wondering if there was a way to make my t.v. run a seperate desktop much like compize runs the cube or ubuntu nativly runs 4 seperate desktops. i just want one to run say movies and my monitor to run the web or open office ect.
[19:09] <ubuntunewbie> Does anyone know any hide taskbar icon like window xp ?
[19:09] <antigen> ok thanks gusy
[19:09] <syntax> and audacity works on ubuntu flannel?
[19:09] <Flannel> syntax: yes

[19:10] <erUSUL> twig11: check the output of « cat /proc/mounts » is sda6 mounted as home ??
[19:10] <twig11> erUSUL: why don't I see the other users when I click the user switcher or whatever it is at the upper righthand corner?
[19:10] <timbojimbo> ubuntunewbie: right click on the task bar>properties
[19:10] <callahad> SnakePlisken: I have two monitors, a 1680x1020 and a 1280x1024. When I hit GDM, both are set to 1280x1024, mirrored. When I log into Gnome, they go to their proper native resolution and are no longer mirrored. I'd like that behavior system-wide (ie: I want GDM and other use accounts to look right)
[19:10] <ubuntunewbie> timbojimbo : i mean panel icon
[19:11] <SnakePlisken> doesntwork: Ask ati.com
[19:11] <syntax> thx flannel..installing now
[19:11] <RenagadeX> SnakePlisken, I was downloading a file using firefox and ran out of disk space so I moved the file to my external. now I need for firefox to understand part of the file has been downloaded, and not start the download again
[19:11]  * eurythmia is back from the gym
[19:11]  * syntax <3 linux over windows
[19:11] <timbojimbo> ubuntunewbie: i don't understand what you mean
[19:11] <frogzoo1> ubuntunewbie: right click taskbar -> properties -> show hide buttons
[19:12] <dakarn>  i'm using a livecd installer from a usb drive from unetbootin. i get an error 'Please append a correct "root "boot option' right now it says "boot=cdrom" any advice?
[19:12] <twig11> erUSUL: the output I get has a line that reads /dev/sda6 /home ext3 rw,relatime, errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0
[19:12] <SnakePlisken> callahad: Set it up in gnome as well using some gui perhaps. Dont know what those are called though. Google for "gnome setup xorg gui"
[19:12] <twig11> does that look right?
[19:12] <RenagadeX> dakarn, using flashdrives doesnt REALLY work
[19:12] <eurythmia> Flannel, it wasn't a noisy away message ... it was a statement of fact. I typed it in.
[19:12] <ubuntunewbie> I mean to hide those icon like irc icon , weather and etc but keeping the application , place system on the top
[19:12] <erUSUL> twig11: yes it looks right... as of " why don't I see the other users when I click the user switcher " i have no idea
[19:12] <Samm> How bout that....
[19:12] <erUSUL> twig11: do the home folders of that users still exist ?
[19:13] <twig11> erUSUL: yep
[19:13] <RenagadeX> dakarn, I accually installed ubuntu twice because GRUB wouldnt install
[19:13] <callahad> SnakePlisken: It works fine in gnome - the Gnome Displays config widget, to the best of my knowledge, uses xrandr to manipulate the x server. It doesn't work at GDM.
[19:13] <unop> RenagadeX, just a guess. mount the file at the location at which firefox expects it to be and continue the download ??
[19:13] <erUSUL> twig11: then i dunno

[19:13] <Kassah> I'm using an old dist of ubuntu... getting 404 errors when I do a apt-get update... is there any way to do a dist-upgrade once you're at this point?
[19:13] <SnakePlisken> RenagadeX: Dl again, this is a mis-directed question and completely out of this scope
[19:13]  * Samm wow.
[19:13] <RenagadeX> unop, I cant, I ran out of space
[19:13] <dakarn> RenagadeX: this is just loading the install from the unetbootin selection window
[19:13] <Flannel> eurythmia: It's not really necessary.  Also, how am I supposed to know that?  If the policy mentioned doesn't apply to your recent actions, then congratulations, you're already following them.
[19:13] <callahad> SnakePlisken: I basically want to backport my effective Xorg settings from my Gnome account to the system-wide xorg.conf
[19:13] <erUSUL> RenagadeX: continue the dl with «wget -c url» on the folder the file is located
[19:14] <unop> RenagadeX, mounting a file takes no space in the destination filesystem .. the space is taken up in the filesystem which the file resides (the new location)
[19:14] <Leoneof> anybody can help me about how to install Ubuntu via PXE?or by using another software like wubi? because my laptop does not have DVD, nor USB
[19:14] <Flannel> Kassah: You need to switch to old-releases, Which version of Ubuntu are you upgrading from/to?
[19:14] <wip> anyone knows how to use the same video feed (v4l2 / v4l) in multiple program?
[19:14] <RenagadeX> SnakePlisken, yes it is out of scope, but its a 7gig file and ive downloaded4 gb of it already
[19:14] <Xacarith> Any one know how to get ubuntu to support two monitors with different resolutions?
[19:14] <Samm> Kassah: Maybe by updating the Repo's, but it is easier to download the disk for Jaunty/Intrepid.
[19:14] <RenagadeX> SnakePlisken, and my internet is horrid
[19:14] <pepperjack> !dualhead | Xacarith may help
[19:14] <RenagadeX> SnakePlisken, so its a rather large problem
[19:15] <RenagadeX> unop, you've lost me
[19:15] <twig11> erUSUL: I've got to run. If I return later and you're still here, you mind if I call on you to help me finish this job?
[19:15] <Kassah> Flannel, Samm, gutsy... unfortunately it's a remote server... reinstall is very costly... in both time and $$$
[19:15] <SnakePlisken> callahad: /etc/X11/xorg.conf are the system wide settings. Make sure you dont have xorg.conf in your home directory. If so, move it to the system wide conf.
[19:15] <erUSUL> twig11: if i'm around i will respond. no promises though
[19:15] <Xacarith> pepperjack Never heard of it.  Up till 8.10 I could just set things up through nvidia settings
[19:15] <lifesengine> when i try and run synaptic manager i get this error: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[19:16] <lifesengine> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[19:16] <lifesengine> any ideas?
[19:16] <twig11> erUSUL: I understand. thanks a lot for all the help
[19:16] <eurythmia> Flannel, I actually meant to do it in #ubuntu-offtopic ... I hit the wrong tab. I also don't think it's really necessary to use !away factoid unless it becomes apparent that someone actually has the noisy away messages turned on (i.e. it happens all the time). A single instance of "/me is back from here" is far less noisy than a false hit.
[19:16] <RenagadeX> erUSUL, what now?
[19:16] <ubuntunewbie> timbojimbo : like at window XP , it auto hide icon from system tray
[19:16] <pepperjack> Xacarith: oh yeah in nvidia-settings you can do it  also.  i wouldnt think it would be a problem in 9.04 but i havent used nvidia in a while
[19:16] <Kassah> Flannel, I'd prefer to upgrade to the latest 9.04
[19:16] <ubuntunewbie> timbojimbo : the small round arrow
[19:16] <RenagadeX> erUSUL, on the folder?
[19:17] <SnakePlisken> lifesengine. "No such directory" -> "cache" ... Create it
[19:17] <timc> Hey. Icopied 460gb of stuff from one drive to another. The transfer was restarted about 6 times. The number of files is identical, but the total size is not. How can I find the files that don't have the same size? i guess i have to use diff, but i'm unskilled.
[19:17] <erUSUL> RenagadeX: as i already said continue the dl with «wget -c urlofthefile»
[19:17] <unop> RenagadeX,  assuming the file exists at /media/new/myfile and you want to mount it in the current directory (this is the directory firefox expects to find it).     touch myfile;  sudo mount --bind /media/new/myfile ./myfile
[19:17] <erUSUL> RenagadeX: the -c option makes wget continue the dl where it was left
[19:17] <lifesengine> SnakePlisken: now it says You have 1 broken package on your system!
[19:17] <lifesengine> Use the "Broken" filter to locate it.
[19:17] <callahad> SnakePlisken:  I don't think you're quite getting my issue. Thank you for the help, though.
[19:17] <maneatingduck> Hi, I'm having problems with youtube, it won't fullscreen fully, screenshot here: http://folk.uio.no/andlia/youtube_screenshot.png
[19:17] <Flannel> Kassah: You'll have to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04, then to 8.10 then to 9.04, but that's doable.
[19:17] <Xacarith> pepperjack I can't even use my one monitor.  Anything I tell to open up on 1 opens on 0  The handling is worse than it was with 8.10 which drove me back to windows  x.x
[19:17] <timbojimbo> ubuntunewbie: i don't know if you can do that or not. i am asuming your talking about the icons representing applications that are open. and not icons that open things
[19:17] <Samm> Kassah:  Edit the sources.list. BRB, let me find the correct addresses.
[19:17] <Leoneof> hello?
[19:18] <SnakePlisken> lifesengine: mkdir -p /var/cache/apt
[19:18] <RenagadeX> erUSUL, doesnt need to know where I put the file?
[19:18] <Kassah> Flannel, cool... opening it up in vim now =)
[19:18] <maneatingduck> Have tried Compiz & metacity, different browsers, suspect flash plugin <IP_ADDRESS> is at fault
[19:18] <Samm> Kassah: (you could try that.
[19:18] <eurisko> I can't find out why while booting on my network i get the ip correctly through dhcp, but $HOSTNAME is (none). If i run dhclient manually it gets right bought ip and $HOSTNAME . This happened after upgrade to Jaunty. Someone have a clue?
[19:18] <SnakePlisken> lifesengine: I could be wrong but itll not hurt your computer.
[19:18] <ubuntunewbie> timbojimbo : yeh , something at the notification http://www.wintipz.com/XP/images/AutoHideTaskbar.JPG
[19:18] <erUSUL> RenagadeX: you are in the folder where the partial file is; are not you  ? it will download to the current folder
[19:18] <Samm> Kassah: What version of ubuntu? (and the nick for it? [Jaunty, etc.)
[19:18] <ubuntunewbie> timbojimbo : hide inactive icon
[19:19] <lifesengine> SnakePlisken: what did that function do?
[19:19] <Kassah> Samm, don't know the number... but it's gutsy...
[19:19] <RenagadeX> erUSUL,  navigate terminal to the folder?
[19:19] <nanotube> ubuntunewbie: ah, in that case... no, i'm not aware of anything like that for the gnome task bar.
[19:19] <eurisko> * "my network interface"
[19:19] <erUSUL> RenagadeX: yep
[19:19] <Samm> Kassah: Thanks, hold on...
[19:19] <SnakePlisken> callahad: Thats also about settings in the gnome chemas.
[19:19] <Kassah> Samm, 7.10
[19:19] <Flannel> Kassah: For some reason, the 7.10 to 8.04 upgrade notes haven't been updated.  So, use this as a guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades (as far as switching repos are concerned) and then once you've got working repos, use this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades
[19:19] <erUSUL> RenagadeX: cd /path/to/folder/
[19:19] <erUSUL> !cli
[19:19] <timbojimbo> ubuntunewbie: sorry i don't know how to do that
[19:19] <Mister-Toti> sera
[19:19] <Samm> Kassah: ^^Flannel's method easier, but longer.
[19:20] <SnakePlisken> lifesengine: Create a directory your apt could be requireing
[19:20] <Xacarith> pepperjack  Thanks for trying  I'll try dualhead but I doubt it will work
[19:20] <SnakePlisken> lifesengine: see if you get a different reply from apt now
[19:21] <Kassah> SAmm, k... figure I'll do this while I still have the KVM over IP hooked up
[19:21] <Kassah> Flannel, thanks
[19:21] <ubuntunewbie> nanotube , timbojimbo : oh... I though it implement on ubuntu.Now my icon is full and out of space and start getting disorder
[19:21] <Samm> Kassah: Good luck.
[19:22] <SnakePlisken> Hmm, i removed all questions again :)
[19:22] <SnakePlisken> I love those
[19:22] <erUSUL> RenagadeX: done ?
[19:22] <ubuntunewbie> nanotube , timbojimbo : I had amsn , pidgin , xchat , screenlets , weather , time and date all on the bar .
[19:22] <Samm> ubuntunewbie: Nice.
[19:22] <cederlandetet> Hello again! Please, I have lost all functions on my desktop on ubuntu - I can't do anything! Please help!
[19:23] <Kassah> Samm, thanks =)
[19:23] <tester-ubuntu> i did 20 movies and devdee gives me errors .. when i do 1  of the movies it works fine
[19:23] <masquerade> cederlandet, what means "all functions"? no icons?
[19:23] <mooseburger> Is there any way to remove albums from rhythmbox?
[19:23] <ubuntunewbie> Samm: not so , it doesn't hide , like the wire internet connection , screenlets pidgin which are all inactive
[19:23] <tester-ubuntu> right now i have an error that says Error .. Conversion failed .. it seems a bug of mencoder
[19:23] <zelexus> I've used the console application "dvdbackup" to backup one of my dvd's in ubuntu. Now I have a dvd (VIDEO_TS) on my desktop, but its 7,5 GB in size. Is there a way to shrink it down to 4,3 GB? Any application?
[19:24] <Samm> ubuntunewbie: Can't help you there, maybe by reset the panel to default?
[19:24] <ubuntunewbie> nanotube , timbojimbo : anyway thanks for the help :)
[19:24] <Kassah> Flannel, hmm.. after converting to the old-releases... it says use the gui... is apt-get dist-upgrade sufficient?
[19:24] <cederlandetet> The only thing showing is my SD-card nothing else
[19:25] <madalin> i have an ubuntu server that has two ethernet cards. One for internet coming in, and one for a local network. The local network seems down (no ping replies) altough the interface is up (/var/log/messages and syslog). How can i find out if the second card (eth2) is broken or something like that ? How can i find out WHAT's wrong ? Thanks :)
[19:25] <froanas> ok i need to back up my windows internal drive to my external and i'm running a ubuntu live persistence usb boot, but i cant mount my external usb hard drive. any suggestions?
[19:25] <Samm> madalin: try ifconfig, msg me the output.
[19:26] <RenagadeX> erUSUL, sorry, my mom needed help
[19:26] <SnakePlisken> tester-ubuntu: It sounds like a bug, send a screenshot to the author of the application when you have lined up all the filanes in it.  If you can, start it in a terminal and supply the author with any extra output it could provide.
[19:26] <froanas> i need to back up my windows internal drive to my external and i'm running a ubuntu 8.10 live persistence usb boot, but i cant mount my external usb hard drive. any suggestions?
[19:26] <Samm> madalin: as in the terminal, type ifconfig
[19:26] <madalin> yes, samm. http://paste.ubuntu.com/224643/
[19:26] <zelexus> anyone know an application for shrinking dvd's in ubuntu?
[19:27] <SnakePlisken> froanas: Pull the usb-cord. Pull the powercord, then put the usb and powercords back in.
[19:27] <ubuntunewbie> Samm: saw something , it haven't implement though http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/4060/
[19:27] <SnakePlisken> Sleep mode...
[19:27] <RenagadeX> erUSUL, It didnt work

[19:28] <RenagadeX> erUSUL, it just started over
[19:28] <donofrio> anyone chatting (got the feeling my konverstaion might not be working?)
[19:28] <Scrap> can someone help me regarding usage of scp and ssh
[19:28] <ubuntunewbie> Samm: it doesn't hide for me :(
[19:28] <Kapace> hello, i have vista installed, can i install ubuntu on another partition without messing up anything?
[19:28] <Samm> madalin: eth2 looks fine to me. reset the modem
[19:28] <froanas> SnakePlisken: I did and it didnt work
[19:29] <madalin> ok, give me a few minutes
[19:29] <Samm> ubuntunewbie: edit the top panel, remove the system tray, add it back on, and then see if that helps. edit panel by right clicking it.
[19:29] <tester-ubuntu> any ideas on the mencoder thing ?
[19:29] <nynyubibi> anyone ever install pisg on ubuntu 8 i wanna ask something?
[19:29] <Pici> Scrap: Just ask.
[19:29] <pepperjack> Kapace: ubuntu will need to put overwrite the current boot loader but other than that yeah.  youll be able to choose between vista or ubuntu at boot
[19:29] <Pici> nynyubibi: Don't ask to ask, just ask.
[19:29] <RenagadeX> donofrio, it works
[19:29] <Kapace> pepperjack, ubuntu's bootloader?
[19:29] <Kapace> or vista's?
[19:29] <donofrio> tnx renegadex
[19:30] <SnakePlisken> ubuntunewbie: does for most i should imagine. Rightclick on an empty space on the panel, select autohide or other properties
[19:30] <arand> Samm: In what way do you say icon autohide?
[19:30] <Scrap> Pici: ok, well i've set up SSH on ubuntu and i have accessed it through my mac laptop
[19:30] <pepperjack> Kapace: grub will be installed to the mbr instead of the windows one
[19:30] <SnakePlisken> froanas: Broken HD in that USB thing ?
[19:30] <RenagadeX> erUSUL, it didnt make a new file, but the progress bar is at 0%
[19:30] <Scrap> Pici: and i've tried quite a bit of different things with scp to transfer a file from my ubuntu to my laptop and it is not working
[19:30] <froanas> nope it works in my other computer
[19:31] <pepperjack> froanas: power maybe?
[19:31] <abhinav> hello
[19:31] <abhinav> asl plz
[19:31] <SnakePlisken> froanas: If you have other computers across the net this is the Bad-Boy-> GAdmin-Rsync
[19:31] <ascheel> Scrap: add the -vvv argument, then give us a pastebin
[19:31] <Kapace> pepperjack, ok, one more thing, ext2 3 or 4?
[19:31] <SnakePlisken> ;)
[19:31] <Pici> Scrap: Do you have scp on the computer you want to transfer files to?
[19:31] <froanas> it shows up but when i double click it dont open
[19:31] <Pici> !offtopic | abhinav
[19:31] <ubuntunewbie> SnakePlisken : nope , its not what I wanted . Something similar https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntuone-client/+bug/392987

[19:33] <ascheel> !language | abhinav
[19:33] <Scrap> asheel: ok i'll get that, pici: as far as i'm aware yes it does as it allows me to transfer the files in the remote machine to another dir in the same remote machine
[19:33] <froanas> what is GAdmin-Rsync?
[19:33] <madalin> Samm1: ok, i've rebooted the modem
[19:33] <samm> madalin: thanks
[19:34] <froanas> quit this blows
[19:34] <samm> madalin: try accessing the internet on the computer now via eth2
[19:34] <SnakePlisken> froanas: Its -> http://mange.dynalias.org/linux/gadmin-rsync/screenshots/gadmin-rsync-features.txt
[19:34] <SnakePlisken> Powerful
[19:34] <Pici> Scrap: scp's syntax is very similar to cp, so scp user@host:/remote/path/ /local/path/
[19:34] <madalin> samm: i'm ssh'd into the server
[19:34] <samm> eth2 is the coneectino to internet, right?
[19:34] <cmelo> Anyone have issues with Stickam?  Chat and Video?
[19:34] <_CommandeR_> hello people
[19:34] <ascheel> !gadmin | froanas
[19:35] <ascheel> froanas, gadmin is a set of tools that gives you a GUI to administer Linux.
[19:35] <SnakePlisken> froanas: Click and Done type of thing.
[19:35] <samm> madalin: then ping google, or something along those lines.
[19:35] <ascheel> froanas: so gadmin-rsync is the portion dealing with maintaining rsync
[19:35] <ascheel> !rsync | froanas
[19:35] <froanas> thanks cu
[19:35] <froanas> z
[19:35] <froanas> quit

[19:36] <ascheel> hahahahaha
[19:36] <cmelo> newbie
[19:36] <samm> madalin: so, eth2 is conection to other computer on the network?
[19:36] <SnakePlisken> froanas: The cool stuff with GAdmin-Rsync is that itll setup all keys required for remote, encrypted and differential backups over ssh in about 3-4 clicks.
[19:36] <madalin> samm: yes
[19:36] <RenagadeX> why does my terminal download speed suck?
[19:37] <ascheel> SnakePlisken: he's gone
[19:37] <samm> if your ssh'd into it, then eth2 must be working right?
[19:37] <SnakePlisken> Ok
[19:37] <SnakePlisken> I love that application! :)
[19:37] <samm> madalin: if your ssh'd into it, then eth2 must be working right?
[19:37] <madalin> samm: eth0 = public ip. eth0 = local ip. I'm ssh'd onto the server using the public IP. The local ip = <IP_ADDRESS>
