[00:00] <happyface> unop: yes, I want to view the console (tty) the ssh session is connected to.. I can do this already if I use ctr+alt+f1 then connect through ssh but I want to use a terminal emulator
[00:00] <prower> hello :> i'm trying to watch a 1080p video in ubuntu 10.04...it's incredibly choppy even though i have the nvidia drivers installed for my card, and in windows 7 it plays properly :< is there some option in ubuntu that needs to be changed?
[00:00] <maco> doyle: search for packages starting with "openoffice.org"
[00:00] <happyface> prower: try VLC media player
[00:00] <unop> dibblego,  calling your script from /etc/rc.local and sudo  e.g.  sudo -u user /path/to/myscript
[00:00] <dibblego> unop, ok thanks
[00:01] <prower> happyface, oh, i did :> as well as totem and just plain mplayer, all three were choppy...now in windows 7 vlc plays it without any problems
[00:01] <happyface> prower: do you know which video drivers your using?
[00:01] <doyle> maco: looks good. Last time I uninstalled ooo it decided to remove every installed program on the computer. This time I made sure to check what was under the untouched category before applying.
[00:02] <prower> happyface: the nvidia closed-source drivers, version 195.36.24?
[00:02] <p1l0t_> When I change /etc/network/interfaces on my ubuntu 9.10 (yes I will upgrade when I fix this) server nothing happens in ifconfig... How do I find out where ifconfig it reading these settings from?
[00:02] <happyface> prower: mkv file?
[00:02] <unop> happyface, I would use screen for this -- it lets you reconnect to sessions.. otherwise look at 'retty' (but this can be buggy).
[00:03] <happyface> unop: I am using screen, I guess I could just attach to that... hmm
[00:03] <prower> happyface: mov is the file extension, it's a clip taken from a hi def camcorder :>
[00:03] <unop> happyface, yea, screen -d -r session_name
[00:03] <happyface> prower: have you tried other hd file types?
[00:03] <happyface> thanks unop
[00:04] <prower> happyface: i tried saving it as mp4, then h264 with avi extension, but they were all pretty much the same
[00:04] <basicer> screen -x

[00:05] <sentry> what is the name of the mac application

[00:05] <unop> sentry, which application?
[00:06] <sentry> thing at the bottom of the desktop

[00:06] <bazhang> sentry, dock?

[00:07] <totoro> hi, i need setting up a wireless usb network adapter for this computer, i'm replacing the old one
[00:07] <bazhang> sentry, there are a number; cairo-dock avant window navigator and docky
[00:09] <sentry> avant window narr...  How do I find out where ifconfig is reading these settings from?
[00:12] <unop> p1l0t, are you bringing the interface up after editing the interfaces file ?
[00:13] <p1l0t_> unop, yes
[00:13] <p1l0t_> unop it then appears unchanged..
[00:13] <unop> p1l0t, what did you change in the interfaces file?
[00:13] <slackster> 10.04 comes with 2 social networking clients, but neither support IRC, also there is no dedicated IRC client??
[00:14] <p1l0t_> everything. I have it setup for ipv4 static address, with dns gateway, etc... When I load it in ifconfig it has ipv6 addy and not much else
[00:14] <xangua> slackster: if you are talking about empathy it does supports irc
[00:14] <UsedSockPup> a mi me gustaría que un ingeniero de linux me metiera una papa caliento en el culo para estimular mi prostato
[00:14] <UsedSockPup> es que ando muy cachondo

[00:14] <xangua> but is not a very usable irc client at my opinion

[00:15] <myrk> hello, what is a bin file and how can you make it>
[00:15] <myrk> ?
[00:16] <slackster> xangua: I'm still not seeing it
[00:16] <p1l0t_> I wish there was a command or a file to read and find out where ifconfig is looking for its settings. Gnome does not even load anymore on here
[00:17] <unop> p1l0t, strace
[00:17] <rww> p1l0t_: do you have network-manager installed? If so, it generally horribly breaks /etc/network/interfaces settings for me
[00:17] <stercor> My sound works occasionally.  I don't want to reboot just to get some tunes.  The speaker on the top bar is <--- instead of <))).  What to do?
[00:17] <unop> rikkimaru, from the kernel documentation -- see http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.34/Documentation/ABI/testing/procfs-diskstats
[00:18] <p1l0t_> It might be, can uninstall without repository connection? probably right

[00:20] <rww> favila: double-check it worked afterwards; I haven't actually done that before ;P
[00:20] <p1l0t_> strace ifconfig produces too much output I need a -more option or something :(

[00:22] <slackster> bazhang: thanks
[00:22] <MeanEYE> zus, can you give me the ouput of 'dig ppa.launchpad.net'
[00:22] <rww> zus: type "apt-cache policy" in a terminal and copy all of the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com/, then link the page it creates here

[00:23] <p1l0t_> Just usage info first, then the failed to bring up eth3
[00:23] <unop> p1l0t, my guess is that your interfaces file might have an error then..  can you put it up on a !pastebin ?
[00:23] <p1l0t_> ifconfig can bring up eth3 though, just the settings are not right (except hwaddress)

[00:29] <maco> Dan11b: linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic
[00:29] <bsmith093> opps i meant the first 3 characters in the title field of the mp3 metadata
[00:29] <rww> zus: hrm. Run "grep -R launchpad /etc/apt/", pastebin that too. It'll give a couple of access denied errors, that's fine.

[00:34] <p1l0t_> (no network can't back-up not sure last time)
[00:34] <zus> rww, http://pastebin.com/ypuX9k6W
[00:35] <clcto> p1l0t_: it may give you that error if you dont have permission to 'execute' the folders
[00:35] <rww> aha!
[00:36] <rww> zus: the do-core PPA doesn't have any Lucid packages in it, so it's throwing an error.
[00:36] <p1l0t_> clcto I was using sudo
[00:36] <p1l0t_> oh the folders.. standby
[00:36] <clcto> p1l0t_: oh ok nvm then
[00:37] <p1l0t_> It does seem like a permissions type problem though
[00:37] <rww> zus: you can remove it by going to System -> Administration -> Software sources and unchecking it under the Other Software tab, or with "sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/do-core-*".
[00:37] <clcto> p1l0t_: can you cd to the directory
[00:37] <p1l0t_> yes
[00:37] <imaginativeone_> join #iphonedev
[00:38] <clcto> p1l0t_: do you see the files there?
[00:38] <Sangeeth> How to resize my partitions??
[00:38] <clcto> Sangeeth: gparted
[00:38] <clcto> Sangeeth: although other tools exist, that is very easy to use
[00:38] <porter1> Would anyone happen to know how I can increase the size of the font in motif-based interfaces?
[00:38] <p1l0t_> Yes mostly 444...
[00:38] <clcto> Sangeeth: backup anything before you do though
[00:38] <Sangeeth> cicto : Ok... But, i can't do any mod on root...
[00:38] <rww> zus: Lucid has the latest current version of GNOME Do, so I guess they never bothered updating the PPA.
[00:39] <Zeike> I have a sun keyboard with special keys for 'cut', 'copy', and 'paste'.  Gnome recognizes these keys as things like 'XF86Cut'.  Anybody know of a way I can bind this to 'ctrl-c' or whatever so I can actually use these keys for those functions?
[00:39] <zus> rww,  with out the * at the end?
[00:39] <clcto> p1l0t_: hmmm
[00:39] <Sangeeth> cicto : I'm already using gparted only

[00:40] <jose> how can i install cedega?
[00:40] <Sangeeth> Is there anyway that i could resize my root partition???
[00:40] <clcto> Sangeeth: certain filesystems do not allow you to shrink, others don't allow you to resize at all
[00:40] <clcto> Sangeeth: not while it is mounted. go get a partedmagic cd
[00:40] <Sangeeth> Cicto : what is it???
[00:40] <clcto> Sangeeth: the ubuntu live cd will have it to, but it will take longer too boot
[00:41] <tripelb> I have an .avi file and a matching .srt file and they wont show subtitles in M'Player. The movie plays perfectly. (not in VLC though)  -- I want it to show the subtitles in M. Player.
[00:41] <clcto> Sangeeth: its an L and google
[00:41] <clcto> Sangeeth: most irc clients allow you to tab complete names

[00:44] <Sangeeth> cicto : You a developer???
[00:44] <tripelb> (9.10) re  subtitleeditor  mencoder audacity  -- how do I tell if I do I have these installed?    -[00:44] <clcto> Sangeeth: it will copy its files to ram then boot ... so it is faster than ubuntu live
[00:44] <Sangeeth> cicto : Got it... :)
[00:44] <clcto> Sangeeth: oh i was talking about parted magic, but yes the live cd is the bootable one, probably
[00:45] <clcto> Sangeeth: cLcto
[00:45] <mneptok> tripelb: does the .srt have the *exact* same file name as the .avi?
[00:45] <darklust> I've recently installed a theme that relies on the gtk2-murrine package, and since then I cannot change the background of gnome without a forkbomb occuring and opening a ton of File Explorer threads. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I really don't know how the problem started.
[00:45] <clcto> if you type my name right i get a notification that says i have a new message. and no, not a developer although i do program
[00:45] <Sangeeth> cicto : Yeah... Sorry... :(
[00:45] <clcto> ....
[00:45] <clcto> !facepalm
[00:45] <Sangeeth> cicto : What kind of???
[00:46] <clcto> haha
[00:46] <clcto> software
[00:46] <clcto> :)
[00:46] <Sangeeth> cicto : What???
[00:46] <mneptok> Sangeeth: clcto does source code audits looking for i vs l transpositions.
[00:46] <Red-Beard> Is there any sort of queue for asking questions?  I don't wanna spam my question or anything.  :P
[00:46] <mneptok> Red-Beard: just ask
[00:47] <jellow> How can i devote all my cpu to an app ?
[00:47] <Red-Beard> I installed ubuntu, everything was going fine until I started up and now it locks up on the load screen.  I tried the recovery mode, did what I could in there, but still no difference.  I see the Ubuntu splash, and the red dots below it, and that's it.  Any ideas?
[00:47] <lanzelloth> anyone know how to get newest gcc?
[00:47] <clcto> Sangeeth:  ... what do you mean what?
[00:47] <Sangeeth> clcto : And Sangeeth has no idea of what it is... But, thanks for your help clcto...
[00:47] <clcto> lanzelloth: sudo apt-get install gcc ?
[00:47] <jellow> Red-Beard: start with no splash and see what errors (if any ) it picks up
[00:48] <clcto> Sangeeth: no idea what what is
[00:48] <lanzelloth> clcto, i need the newest version that is 4.4

[00:48] <Sangeeth> clcto : Sorry, that was a wrong "what"... Meant to be sent to someone else... Sorry again...
[00:48] <mneptok> lanzelloth: see if it is in the backports repo
[00:48] <clcto> lanzelloth: ah you are going to have to add an unofficial repo then i guess. thats why arch is better if you know what you are doing . rolling-release :D
[00:48] <lanzelloth> mneptok, link?
[00:49] <mneptok> lanzelloth: no thanks. i already have a ton.
[00:49] <lanzelloth> clcto, yeah, it's kinda urgent tho

[00:49] <arungupta_> Starting a Ubuntu instance on EC2 as "ec2-run-instances ami-cf4d67bb -k ec2-keypair" gives "Client.InvalidAMIID.NotFound: The AMI ID 'ami-cf4d67bb' does not exist" ... any idea ?
[00:49] <Red-Beard> jellow: It just stops after something about one of my drives.  Dual boot FTL so I'm going to have to reboot to check the exact error message.
[00:50] <mneptok> clcto: personally i'd recommend sidux instead of Arch to Ubuntu users looking for a rolling release.
[00:50] <jellow> Red-Beard: Ok google the error if can't find anything come back
[00:50] <clcto> mneptok: why? Arch rocks!
[00:50]  * clcto uses archlinux
[00:50] <mneptok> clcto: because sidux is Debian based. familiar toolchain.
[00:51] <Guest54446> clcto, why use arch when you bun too
[00:51] <phenom> Guys, I have win 7/ubuntu installed dual boot. Upon upgrade to lucid, grub2 will no longer boot my windows partition. Any help?

[00:58] <aux_linux_accoun> I want to place my trash icon to as far right bottom as I can, but it only lets me go as far as the end - 100 pixels. Such that if I had a monitor with a width of 800 the farthest i can place an icon is 750px
[00:58] <aux_linux_accoun> so there is a gap of 50 pixels from the edge of the icon to the end of the screen
[00:58] <Guest54446> cool
[00:58] <owen1> aptitude search mysql shows me only 3 packages (using lucid). why?
[00:58] <phenom> clcto, ok, and set root='(hd0,2)' should be 0,1 I take it?
[00:58] <phenom> Neither one boots
[00:58] <tripelb> mneptok,  yes it does. I took the extra step of copying the name of the .avi file and pasting it as the name of the .srt file... in case there was an accent I was having vision-trouble focusing on (French)
[00:59] <clcto> phenom: yes sda=hd0 partition 1 = 0 in grub, etc
[00:59] <phenom> clcto, Cool, let me give it a shot. thanks brb
[00:59] <clcto> phenom: wait
[00:59] <lanzelloth> so i'm gonna install gcc-4.4 and gcc-4.4-base for karmic for my jaunty
[00:59] <miniuser> what is the prefered way to upgrade to latest firefox?
[01:00] <Guest54446> miniuser, what firefox
[01:00] <lanzelloth> should i remove my current gcc (3.*)? is this just not gonna work?
[01:00] <miniuser> 3.6.4
[01:00] <phenom> still here
[01:00] <Gwar> miniuser, use Fedora :p
[01:00] <clcto> phenom: move the menuentries around to how you want them ... so you dont have to scroll down 5/6 to get to windows 7
[01:00] <rww> owen1: have you done sudo aptitude update recently?
[01:00] <aux_linux_accoun> http://i.imgur.com/9N21I.png that is how far to the right I can place icons
[01:00] <aux_linux_accoun> and there is still like 100 pixels to go
[01:00] <owen1> rww: no
[01:00] <phenom> clcto, Ahh ok. tbh, I'd rather leave win at the bottom heh
[01:00] <frankS2> Anyone else having problems with disconnections with iwl3945 drivers here?
[01:01] <rww> owen1: that would be a good start
[01:01] <clcto> phenom: the order they show there is the order they appear in the menu .. alright as you wish
[01:01] <Guest54446> miniuser, r u using mac
[01:01] <clcto> :)
[01:01] <phenom> ;)
[01:01] <clcto> phenom: wait
[01:01] <owen1> rww: ok. it's a new EC2 instance, btw
[01:01]  * phenom holds breath
[01:01] <phenom> k
[01:01] <clcto> phenom: neither worked before?
[01:01] <phenom> yes, they did before upgrade
[01:01] <clcto> well i mean after
[01:01] <phenom> I fear the install of grub2 broke it
[01:02] <phenom> correct,, they didn't work after upgrade
[01:02] <Guest54446> aux_linux_accoun, dude what ubuntu r u using
[01:02] <aux_linux_accoun> 10.04
[01:02] <rww> owen1: ah. I know nothing about EC2 stuff, but that's what I'd do if it were a Desktop install
[01:02] <clcto> phenom: because windows vista should have booted windows 7
[01:02] <rww> !u > Guest54446
[01:02] <Guest54446> what irc is that
[01:02] <aux_linux_accoun> its the one that comes packaged with evolution and stuff
[01:02] <lanzelloth> how can i add karmic's repos for my jaunty?
[01:02] <MeanEYE> aux_linux_accoun, your system looks sweet :D ... what theme it is...
[01:02] <clcto> phenom: grub2 might have changed it so sda1=hd(1,1) ... but try and we can see when you get back
[01:03] <aux_linux_accoun> its equinox
[01:03] <aux_linux_accoun> and I use cardapio instead of the regular bulky menu
[01:03] <owen1> rww: works. thanks
[01:03] <clcto> phenom: in the grub menu if you hit e you can edit the selected item
[01:03] <aux_linux_accoun> but I cant align the desktop icons far enough to the edges of the monitor. what gives on that!?
[01:03] <MeanEYE> aux_linux_accoun, private pls?
[01:04] <aux_linux_accoun> yeah sure
[01:04] <fuzzybunny69y> hey guys does anyone have gnome-settings-daemon in their startup applications? I am just wondering what the command is.
[01:04] <fuzzybunny69y> for Ubuntu 10.04
[01:06] <inductiveload> hi! whenever I type a backslash, i get a metacity error saying "there was an error running ks do:"
[01:07] <Guest54446> inductiveload, can u uninstall metacity
[01:07] <inductiveload> with apt-get remove?
[01:07] <Guest54446> maybe reinstall it
[01:08] <aux_linux_accoun> anyone know of any good themes while I'm here? not so much dark ones but light ones? I use Equinox now, but I thought Baery was cool until I noticed that it messed up the cursor and did skin over things in Synaptic
[01:08] <clcto> aux_linux_accoun: gnome-look.org
[01:08] <aux_linux_accoun> eh, anything better than there :-P
[01:08] <aux_linux_accoun> it's not as if I haven't looked, it's just that there isn't much thats nice
[01:09] <clcto> aux_linux_accoun: ... that is the biggest library
[01:09] <aux_linux_accoun> I can draw a pretty kick-ass mock up but I don't know how to convert it into a theme
[01:09] <clcto> aux_linux_accoun: do some reasearch and have fun ... that is what linux is about
[01:09] <aux_linux_accoun> I know, it's my biggest dislike of Gnome, the themes are all really poor unless its some kind of rip
[01:09] <leoxagy12> hi UPDATE I_Product SET I_IsImported='E', I_ErrorMsg=I_ErrorMsg||'ERR=VendorProductNo not unique,' WHERE I_IsImported<>'Y' AND C_BPartner_ID IS NOT NULL AND (C_BPartner_ID, VendorProductNo) IN (SELECT C_BPartner_ID, VendorProductNo FROM I_Product ii WHERE I_Product.AD_Client_ID=ii.AD_Client_ID GROUP BY C_BPartner_ID, VendorProductNo HAVING COUNT(*) > 1) AND AD_Client_ID=11 [SvrProcess_bcd8749f-a8e5-482d-96bc-bbdd95c53b8f]
[01:09] <aux_linux_accoun> I don't have time lol
[01:09] <leoxagy12> sorry
[01:09] <ShrekLappy> aux_linux_accoun, http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/metacity/metacity-themes.html
[01:10] <aux_linux_accoun> oh cool thanks
[01:10] <clcto> leoxagy12: no no, i like it
[01:10] <inductiveload> Guest54446: do i need to restart x?
[01:10] <aux_linux_accoun> if only I could graphic design on Ubuntu (MEGA BURN! :-P)
[01:10] <clcto> leoxagy12: it adds some spice to this channel
[01:10] <clcto> aux_linux_accoun: gimp/inkscape
[01:10] <Guest54446> indieross, did u reinstall it?
[01:10] <aux_linux_accoun> nothing compares to Photoshop in terms of my knowledge and years of experience
[01:11] <aux_linux_accoun> also, my ubuntu machine has a cracked screen!
[01:11] <Guest54446> inductiveload, did u reinstall it
[01:11] <j3rg> any hardware junkie here
[01:11] <j3rg> ?
[01:11] <Guest54446> j3rg, sup
[01:11] <clcto> aux_linux_accoun: gimp = photoshop. adobe just added a feature gimp has had for years
[01:11] <leoxagy12> clcto: yeah, right
[01:11] <aux_linux_accoun> speaking of, anyone know of any places to sell old hardware?
[01:11] <clcto> leoxagy12: :)
[01:11] <clcto> ebay
[01:11] <aux_linux_accoun> aside from auction sites/craigslist
[01:11] <j3rg> Guest4446 can you tell me if Intel Turbo Boost is dependent on the mobo
[01:11] <j3rg> ?
[01:11] <inductiveload> Guest54446: i  apt-get removed and then apt-get installed
[01:11] <Joshua_Roberts_> If I am trying to install an application that has older repositories listed, say for karmic, can I add those to lucid and expect the application to work?
[01:11] <aux_linux_accoun> clcto beat me to it :-P
[01:12]  * clcto is fast
[01:12]  * aux_linux_accoun hasnt typed on this computer in like 2 years
[01:12] <j3rg> Guest4446: or is the technology just in the chip itself?
[01:12] <lanzelloth> i used karmic's packages to install gcc-4.4 (and all dependencies) on my jaunty
[01:12] <Guest54446> inductiveload, ok try restart and see if it works
[01:12] <clcto> aux_linux_accoun: unless you know someone who wants it ... ebay is your best bet
[01:12] <lanzelloth> but i can't find where it is installed
[01:12] <baba_bubba> clcto can sense what you are about to say before you say it :)
[01:12] <aux_linux_accoun> thats beat :-(
[01:13] <aux_linux_accoun> well, friday look for some old stuff online :-P
[01:13]  * clcto knew baba_bubba was going to say that
[01:13] <baba_bubba> lol
[01:13] <aux_linux_accoun> I want to sell this old laptop for the money to buy one of those small baby computers to run a media server off of
[01:13] <aux_linux_accoun> but I think I'm kinda junking this room up, I'll stop with the off topicness
[01:13] <clcto> !offtopic
[01:14] <clcto> :)
[01:14] <j3rg> Guest54446: Do you know if the Intel Turbo boost technology only denpends on the chip or the chip and motherboard
[01:14] <j3rg> ?
[01:14] <inductiveload> Guest54446 no joy
[01:14] <inductiveload> :-(
[01:15] <BluesKaj> Joshua_Roberts_,the command to upgrade one's sources.list is , sudo sed -i 's/karmic/lucid/' /etc/apt/sources.list , but be sure to remove any ppas first
[01:16] <BluesKaj> Joshua_Roberts_, but you'll be upgrading your whole OS if do sudo apt-get update , afterwards
[01:17] <puff> BluesKaj: So, I was looking at my disk layout, and... the swap partition is at the *end* of the disk.
[01:17] <puff> BluesKaj: If I understand this properly, this means I won't be able to shrink swap and grow root.
[01:18] <Joshua_Roberts_> BluesKaj, I already am in lucid, I am trying to install Doomsday which only has karmic repositories.  I am having an issue with keyring.  It says it can't find it when I use 'sudo apt-get install kees-archive-keyring'  which I copied from the game install site.
[01:18] <BluesKaj> puff that's normal , of course you can shrink your swap
[01:19] <clayg> does ctrl-alt-backspace no longer work?
[01:19] <zus> wasnt pitivi part of ubuntu now? or do i have to installit?
[01:19] <clcto> clayg: not by default
[01:19] <yoyoned> puff: use a live cd, delete the swap, grow the root, add new swap to fill space
[01:19] <puff> BluesKaj: Shrinking the swap wasn't the goal, growing root was the goal.
[01:19] <BluesKaj> clayg, it's been depacrated
[01:19] <clayg> clcto, how do you enable it?
[01:19] <IdleOne> !dontzap
[01:20] <puff> BluesKaj: Maybe I'm misremebmernig this, but last I read about partitioning, the problem was/is that to partitions had to be contiguous chunks of disk.
[01:20] <Joshua_Roberts_> BluesKaj, you have solutions for this?
[01:20] <puff> BluesKaj: Is that incorrect?
[01:20] <BluesKaj> puff, well how else were doing to make room ? I would delete the swap first then increase the root to 2 g larger then rename the remaining 2g as swap
[01:20] <inductiveload> guest54446: even a full system restart doesn't fix it
[01:21] <puff> BluesKaj: You didn't answer my question...
 guest54446: even a full system restart doesn't fix it <-- looks like windows debugging :P
[01:22] <catux> Buenas noches
[01:22] <inductiveload> :-p better suggestion?
[01:22] <puff> BluesKaj: If the disk's layotu is <beginning>root 5GB / home 10GB / bulk 30GB / swap 4 GB<end>, and partitions have to be internally continguous, then I can't grow root by simply shrinking swap.  I have to shift everything further down the disk.
[01:22] <gevera> hello to everybody
[01:22] <clayg> sorry about that i lost that info, how do you enable the ctrl-alt-backsdpace xkill?
[01:22] <Guest54446> inductiveload, i see
[01:22] <bopnet> Fala Galera boa noite
[01:23] <BluesKaj> Joshua_Roberts_, actually if just add a karmic repos that holds the app , without needing a key would be best if possible
[01:23] <happyface> anyone find gnome-terminal causes high cpu when theres lots of scrolling going on?
[01:23] <Guest54446> inductiveload, do you have a screenshot
[01:23] <inductiveload> yeah one sec
[01:23] <clayg> how is ctrl-alt-backspace enabled?
[01:23] <rww> !dontzap | clayg
[01:24] <StLemur> when it says "wiping swap space for security (this may take a while)" what's a while? It's been 25 minutes.
[01:24] <bastid_raZor> clayg: alt-sysrq-k is in place of it
[01:24] <BluesKaj> puff, which partition editor are you using ?...gparted should do the job I described
[01:24] <Joshua_Roberts_> BluesKaj, when I try to load synaptic I get an error that there is no public key available for the repo I added...
[01:24] <StLemur> Usb install onto fresh 1tb drive.
[01:24] <puff> BluesKaj: I was expecting to use gparted.
[01:24] <dominicdinada> StLemur: isnt it overwriting the disk multiple times? how big is the space ? 1mb 100mb 1gig ?
[01:25] <StLemur> Dominicdinada: install disc is 8gb usb key, target drive is 1tb sata.
[01:25] <puff> BluesKaj: To be specific, can partitions consist of disk blocks that are not contiguous?
[01:25] <Speakers> Anyone know of any populated cleaning forums out there?
[01:25] <StLemur> Never mind, it just finished
[01:25] <dominicdinada> StLemur: well 1TB is alot of drive space... guess you shouldnt have chose to secure wipe it
[01:26] <gevera> my ubuntu software center does't work..trying to write n the searchbox anything and there is no response
[01:26] <inductiveload> Guest54446: http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/9116/screenshot1gi.png
[01:26] <gevera> cant find anything
[01:26] <StLemur> All set, it's rebooting
[01:26] <gevera> any suggestions?
[01:27] <dominicdinada> StLemur: In the future just realize it used to take house to format a 1 gig hd...
[01:27] <clayg> awesome ubottu that is exactly the thing i was looking for
[01:27] <clayg> how about moving the maximize, minimize and close icons to the right liked they used to be an not on the left
[01:27] <BluesKaj> puff , the disks blocks are autosized by gparted to tje closest size allowed.
[01:27] <IdleOne> !controls | clayg
[01:27] <Guest54446> inductiveload, maybe try uninstall metacity?
[01:27] <dominicdinada> Blah wow transfering 120gigs over the network is taking forever :(
[01:28] <puff> BluesKaj: Okay, but if the deleted/unpartitioned space is at the other end of the disk, how's that going to work?
[01:29] <dominicdinada> !fdisk | puff
[01:29] <BluesKaj> puff if you ask for 2 g , it might end up 1.96 or some such, the swap is traditionally at the end of the disk
[01:29] <bopnet> Boa noite galera
[01:29] <tcollogan> hi guys just a quick question i dual boot windows xp and 7 using the win 7 bootloader what would be the best way to triple boot?
[01:29] <dominicdinada> !gpart | puff
[01:29] <dominicdinada> dumb bot
[01:29] <IdleOne> !gparted
[01:30] <gevera> anybody??
[01:30] <dominicdinada> tcollogan: hat-trick booting :O
[01:30] <IdleOne> user errors are often attributed to bot intelligence
[01:30] <dominicdinada> I only have 70% network utilization grrr why....
[01:31] <dominicdinada> 3 transfers at once from the server hmmm maybe 4 would work
[01:31] <alissa> i am installing Ubuntu (server edition) from a netboot image on a single-disk machine.  i want to know if i can wipe the entire disk during the install.  that is, does the installer boot up so that everything is in ram or is it still working off the disk?
[01:31] <Hammer> hi, anybody having problems installing the 10.6 catalyst driver on lucid ?
[01:31] <dominicdinada> alissa #ubuntu-server
[01:31] <inductiveload> guest54446:ok i have backslash back now none of my windows have title bars and the cursor is stuck as an "X" and the terminal won't accept text
[01:31] <dominicdinada> alissa: #ubuntu-server
[01:32] <happyface> !grub2 | tcollogan
[01:32] <BluesKaj> alissa yes and yes
[01:32] <tcollogan> thank you
[01:32] <alissa> blueskaj: thanks
[01:32] <Guest54446> inductiveload, r u on a desktop?
[01:32] <inductiveload> yes
[01:33] <inductiveload> no alaptop
[01:33] <inductiveload> is that what you mean?
[01:33] <BluesKaj> alissa, i assume a livecd is being used
[01:33] <Guest54446> yeah r u on a laptop
[01:33] <inductiveload> yes, laptop, soory
[01:33] <alissa> blueskaj: is there any reference you know of that talk about how the netboot image is being used?
[01:34] <MindVirus> When I press play on Rhythmbox I get a crackle for 1/4 of a second and then the play progress bar stops moving.
[01:34] <BluesKaj> alissa, dunno, maybe someone else knows.... anyone ?
[01:34] <alissa> blueskaj: no, i am using a netboot image.  that means, i download the kernel and initrd.gz on to the local disk and boot from them.  but the ubuntu packages are downloaded from the net and installed.
[01:34] <MindVirus> Any advice?
[01:35] <mattgyver> Im verifying the md5sum of a 3gig file that was burned to a DVD and its taking several minutes (10 so far) is this normal?
[01:36] <mattgyver> I should state It took like 1 minute on the computer itself
[01:36] <BluesKaj> alissa, ok i understand
[01:37] <clcto> mattgyver: probably. optical media is orders of magnitude slower than hdd
[01:37] <Guest54446> inductiveload, you could try install icewmm
[01:37] <clcto> that should have read order(s)
[01:38] <mattgyver> clcto, thanks just wanted to make sure
[01:38] <MindVirus> Anyone?
[01:38] <BluesKaj> alissa, you should see the partitoning option once you begin the actual net install
[01:39] <tcollogan> also with ubuntu is the internet the main source of apps?
[01:39] <inductiveload> guest 54446: ok, i put metacity back because everytihng was totally borked witohut it, but now the backslash problem is back
[01:40] <ShayneFalco> Hello everyone. I have tried installing the latest version of Ubuntu on my old computer, twice, and the install works fine and it asks me to reboot. Once I reboot, the CD exits the tray and I get thousands of lines of errors. I wait a few seconds and the computer reboots.  That's it.
[01:40] <ShayneFalco> Am I doing anything wrong? Anyone experienced this?
[01:41] <cs_> is this a help line?
[01:41] <gravy> ShayneFalco: that's pretty vague. What sorts of errors?
[01:41] <zatlite> is there a way to view disk quota usage on gnuscreen's hardstatus line?
[01:41] <clcto> cs_: not really a line ... but yet
[01:41] <clcto> cs_: not really a line ... but yes *
[01:41] <cs_> haha ok
[01:41] <alissa> blueskaj: yes, my concern is that the installer is running off the disk (and not in ram).  therefore, if i pick an option to erase the entire disk, i will hose the installation.
[01:41] <clayg> lets say i'
[01:42] <clayg> i'd like to reformat but keep the same installed programs, what is the command to save the setting files or what is the best way?
[01:42] <dean> does anyone know why I can't extract .rar files?
[01:42] <Guest54446> inductiveload, maybe try system > preferences > keyboard
[01:42] <MindVirus> When I press play on Rhythmbox I get a crackle for 1/4 of a second and then the play progress bar stops moving.
[01:42] <MindVirus> Any advice?
[01:42] <Typos_King> dean:  what are you using for that?
[01:42] <cs_> so I'm using LiveCD on my macg5, as I have a linux drive that i need to access. Everything mounts fine (the Linux and the Mac Drive)... but when i try to copy it says the Mac drive is read only. Any idea how i can change it???
[01:42] <clcto> !problem
[01:42] <BluesKaj> !netinstall | alissa
[01:43] <clayg> how do i make gnome my default session and not this crappy netbook remix ui?.
[01:43] <cs_> sorry
[01:43] <inductiveload> guest54446: anything particular to do with it
[01:43] <inductiveload> ?
[01:43] <MrAlexandro> what is wubi, i mean how does it install compared to grub, will it run from windows like a software or will you be able to run it from its own partition
[01:43] <dean> Typos_King, I have no idea, I just click extract here and it says archive type not supported or something
[01:43] <Guest54446> inductiveload, go to layouts and type in the box
[01:43] <abetterswordfish> Anyone know about conky, trying to edit the spacing in it
[01:43] <inductiveload> guest54446: nope, still get that error
[01:44] <clcto> cs_: that wasnt to you. i expected it to say something different.
[01:44] <Typos_King> dean:   well.. use an archiver app..... like ark or peazip, that'll open it, or just install unrar -> sudo apt-get install unrar
[01:44] <antonio_> hey everyone...
[01:44] <Guest54446> inductiveload, what layout is your keyboard
[01:44] <gravy> MrAlexandro: wubi installs a big file in NTFS
[01:44] <clcto> cs_: open a terminal and say fdisk -l
[01:44] <Typos_King> dean:    chances are nautilus will do it, assuming you have unrar installed, which I'd think you do not
[01:44] <alissa> blueskaj: ok, thanks for your help.
[01:44] <inductiveload> united kingdom
[01:44] <gravy> and mounts a filesys in that
[01:44] <cs_> no worries.... suggestions to my prob?
[01:44] <abetterswordfish> I need help with setting up conky config
[01:44] <antonio_> I'm trying to get stickam to work with my logitech camera...and its not working
[01:44] <Guest54446> inductiveload, maybe try usa
[01:45] <MrAlexandro> gravy: meaning that it runs from windows?
[01:45] <jvm_> hi. i activated a proprietary graphics and wireless driver on my system, and it displays "This driver is activated but not currently in use." for both of them. what do ive to do to actually use them?
[01:45] <clcto> cs_: are you familiar with the terminal?
[01:45] <abetterswordfish> I need help with setting up conky config
[01:45] <dean> Typos_King,  thanks got it
[01:45] <gravy> MrAlexandro: it installs from windows, but iirc it does grub
[01:46] <Hammer> hey, i have installed the new catalyst driver (10.6) via the --buildpkg flag but accc shows that i have the old Driver Packaging Version (10.4) installed BUT 10.6 as Catalyst Version installed -what gives ?
[01:46] <bp0> I have a bad problem, whenever I am copying big files, the computer gets so slow and laggy, and applications freeze up and turn grey every few seconds
[01:46] <cs_> i know terminal, yes
[01:46] <gravy> MrAlexandro: I think its deal is no repartitioning and "easy" install from within Win
[01:46] <bp0> what is causing that?
[01:46] <Hammer> i did remove all previous drivers - the kernel module loaded *is* the 10.6 one

[01:46] <abetterswordfish> Looking for nice soul to help me with conky
[01:46] <clcto> cs_: which partition is your mac?
[01:47] <cs_> oh that i don't know
[01:47] <MrAlexandro> gravy: which is just what i would need as long as i can boot it as its own os and not as a vmware kind of if you know what i mean
[01:47] <clcto> cs_: fdisk -l and look at the sizes
[01:47] <abetterswordfish> Does anyone know how to edit spacing in conky config file?
[01:47] <clcto> cs_: you may need to do sudo fdisk -l
[01:47] <clayg> how do i make gnome my default session and not this crappy netbook remix ui?.
[01:48] <MindVirus> Any advice?

[01:48] <clcto> pastebin it to me?
[01:48] <abetterswordfish> Does anyone know how to edit spacing in conky config file?
[01:48] <cs_> ok
[01:48] <gravy> MrAlexandro: yeah, it doesn't actually run from windows so sounds like it's what you want
[01:48] <puff> MindVirus: I'm drawing a blank, sorry.
[01:48] <inductiveload> guest54446: ok, now backslash works (but the key moved), but the key that should be backslash on my keyboard is still broken

[01:48] <MindVirus> puff: It's OK.
[01:48] <MindVirus> Does anyone else have advice?
[01:48] <puff> MindVirus: Try playing the same file with a different plaer?
[01:48] <Zakatharant> How do I install the latest ATI Radeon X1200 Series driver for Lucid Lynx?
[01:49] <clcto> no no no ... pastebin :(
[01:49] <MindVirus> puff: But I want to use Rhythmbox.
[01:49] <puff> MindVirus: Otherwise, I'd assume it's most likely something to do wtih codecs.
[01:49] <sylbot> okay how come i have so many viruses?
[01:49] <Guest54446> inductiveload, r u on ubuntu 10.4
[01:49] <clcto> cs_: http://pastebin.com/
[01:49] <puff> MindVirus: No, no, I mean, play it wtih a different player, verify that it's not the audio file itself that's the problem.
[01:49] <inductiveload> yes
[01:49] <jvm_> hi. i activated a proprietary graphics and wireless driver on my system, and it displays "This driver is activated but not currently in use." for both of them. what do ive to do to actually use them?
[01:49] <sylbot> how do I stop them from coming inside my computer
[01:49] <MindVirus> puff: I know it's not the audio file itself.
[01:49] <MindVirus> I've played the files themselves many times.
[01:49] <puff> MindVirus: How?
[01:49] <sylbot> oops wrong channel
[01:49] <puff> MindVirus: Since the problem began?
[01:49] <puff> MindVirus: Step 1:  make sure it's plugged in.
[01:50] <MindVirus> puff: I'm trying to play my music that I listen to all the time.
[01:50] <clcto> sylbot: too much torrentting porn
[01:50] <Guest54446> inductiveload, do you have another keyboard
[01:50] <MrAlexandro> gravy: thank you :)
[01:50] <inductiveload> no
[01:50] <puff> MindVirus: The simplst possible thing to do, to start, is play it with another player, and ensure that the file has not been corrupted.
[01:50] <cs_> http://pastebin.com/tXqDpFvY
[01:50] <clayg> i'd like to reformat but keep the same installed programs, what is the command to save the setting files or what is the best way?
[01:50] <MindVirus> puff: Listen to me.
[01:50] <MindVirus> The file has not been corrupted.
[01:50] <MindVirus> You probably don't believe me.
[01:50] <MindVirus> I am right.
[01:50] <FloodBot4> MindVirus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:51] <yudi1> I need to access jfs partition with full permissions  from ubuntu 10.04, i can access it right now but cannot create any folders, how do I achieve this
[01:51] <Guest54446> inductiveload, you could try completely remove metacity to see if it works
[01:51] <red-beard> Can someone please help me with some questions regarding backing up?
[01:51] <Guest54446> inductiveload, then reinstall
[01:51] <abetterswordfish> Can someone help me configure conky?
[01:51] <MindVirus> puff: I have an entire library of music. On rare occasions Rhythmbox actually plays, but I have to sit there killing Rhythmbox and restarting it.
[01:51] <Typos_King> MindVirus:    what's the filename?
[01:51] <MindVirus> Typos_King: karen_wants_creampie.wmv
[01:52] <tic^> !backup | red-beard
[01:52] <inductiveload> guest54446; i did that, and it screwed all the windows, then i restarted, reinstalled, and restarted agian
[01:52] <MindVirus> Typos_King: I'm just playin'. It's my music library from my iPod. The filename is like KWAX.mp3.
[01:52] <Typos_King> MindVirus:    .wmv is a video file, not a music one, not sure on Rhythmbox playing those :|
[01:52] <Zakatharant> I was playing a game named "Regnum Online" on my older laptop, running in Hardy.  No problems until the monitor started to go out on me (needs a new cable).  Now I have a newer laptop running Lucid Lynx, and the game says the video card (a newer version of what the old laptop had) is unsupported.  So I know the video card is not too old.  The options are find a better driver, or figure out a download for a DirectX update.  I'm usi
[01:52] <red-beard> Thanks guys
[01:52] <red-beard> !backup
[01:52] <MindVirus> Typos_King: Just a joke.
[01:52] <red-beard> I'll try that
[01:53] <abetterswordfish> I would really appriate some help, i think this could be an easy fix for someone with knowlege
[01:53] <Guest54446> inductiveload, go to synaptic and select completely remove
[01:53] <Typos_King> MindVirus:    what if you copy the file over to the HD and retry Rhythmbox? maybe is an iPod access issue
[01:53] <gevera> is there any safe way to downgrade from 10.10 to 10.04
[01:53] <gevera> ??
[01:53] <IdleOne> gevera: clean install
[01:53] <Guest54446> inductiveload, dont know if that will help though
[01:53] <Typos_King> gevera:   just reinstall :)
[01:54] <gevera> what about all the date  and software?
[01:54] <IdleOne> !downgrade | gevera
[01:54] <inductiveload> ok doing it now
[01:54] <yoyoned> abetterswordfish: mayby you should just ask the question, and someone will answer you if they know.
[01:54] <abetterswordfish> Kk
[01:55] <IdleOne> gevera: join #ubuntu+1 and maybe someone there can help you with whatever issue you are having
[01:55] <clayg> i'd like to reformat but keep the same installed programs, what is the command to save the setting files or what is the best way?
[01:55] <abetterswordfish> I am using conky, but atm the temp info is a bit close to the network info how can i increase the spacing?
[01:55] <gevera> thanks
[01:55] <abetterswordfish> using the lucid links config
[01:55] <abetterswordfish> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/05/easy-to-use-lucid-themed-conky-bar.html
[01:55] <jvm_> hi. i activated a proprietary graphics and wireless driver on my system, and it displays "This driver is activated but not currently in use." for both of them. what do ive to do to actually use them?
[01:55] <Typos_King> clayg:   backing up your ~ folder
[01:56] <yudi1> how do I stop empathy from scrolling to the end all the time, i am trying to read old messages, very annoying
[01:56] <MindVirus> Typos_King: It works, but rarely.
[01:56] <MindVirus> Typos_King: So, the iPod is allowing access sometimes but not every time?
[01:56] <abetterswordfish> I am using conky, but atm the temp info is a bit close to the network info how can i increase the spacing?
[01:57] <clayg> Typos_King, there was another way b ut i didn't record it , either a program or some command that sort of saved a list of the programs you had and made reinstalling them extremely easy, are you familiar with that other way?
[01:57] <IdleOne> jvm_: you have effects turned on in System > Prefs > appearance?
[01:57] <puff> MindVirus: The file may or may not have been corrupted, you haven't checked.    Check.
[01:57] <Typos_King> MindVirus:  thereabouts I'd think, not sure, I've heard from someone using iTunes that you can put files in, but can't get them back out, or it won't allow access, it'll only play, not sure how true that claim is
[01:58] <inductiveload> guest54446: it still didn't work , just messed everything up again, and caused the same lack of window title bars and being able to do anytihng, then the problem came back when i reinstalled
[01:58] <MindVirus> Typos_King: That claim is true; you cannot copy music back from iTunes. That being said, that is only iTunes, because it is shitty software.
[01:58] <MindVirus> Typos_King: That has nothing to do with the problem at hand.
[01:58] <MindVirus> puff: How many files do you think I'm working with?
[01:58] <MindVirus> puff: Like 2?
[01:58] <Joshua_Roberts> I think that I am going to give up on playing doom for linux...
[01:58] <MindVirus> puff: Here, I'll play a local file.
[01:59] <Guest54446> inductiveload, maybe replace metacity with xfwm4
[01:59] <MindVirus> puff: It's just that I know that isn't the problem.
[01:59] <Typos_King> MindVirus:    then it may just be a Rhythmbox access issue, maybe if your reinstall it, it clears out any dependencies discrepancies
[01:59] <dominicdinada> Typos_King: iTunes keeps all the files in a xml format... with randomly generated hashes for the coresponding file,author etc
[01:59] <Exavion> Joshua_Roberts: it works extremely well in DOSBox
[01:59] <MindVirus> Typos_King: If there are dependency discrepancies, updating my computer (which I do like hourly) would tell me.
[01:59] <abetterswordfish> I would really like some help editting a conky config file
[01:59] <inductiveload> so i remove metacity and install xfwm4? anything else to do?
[01:59] <Typos_King> updating a machine every hour?    goodness
[02:00] <Guest54446> inductiveload, pretty much that might help
[02:00] <MindVirus> puff: Playing a local file does the same thing.
[02:00] <abetterswordfish> Im not sure how to add spaces into conky
[02:00] <MindVirus> It's a sound driver issue, puff.
[02:00] <puff> Typos_King, MindVirus:  As far as itunes, ipods, etc, yeah, when you put music on an ipod, ituens renames the file, possibly reencodes it, and extracts the track details and adds them to a database file on the ipod.  it's possible to extract music files back out, but you usually use a special script/tool to do it.
[02:00] <dominicdinada> MindVirus: thats not exactly a good thing
[02:00] <MindVirus> dominicdinada: You'd think, eh?
[02:00] <Typos_King> MindVirus:     I'd not count on that for files integrity checks per se
[02:00] <puff> Typos_King, MindVirus: Though I would assume that you could use an id3 tag tool to do the same, by hand.
[02:00] <MindVirus> puff: Or just any other iPod management software other than iTunes.
[02:00] <dominicdinada> puff: it doesnt alter the file persay just the filenames to random generated strings
[02:00] <MindVirus> Typos_King: You told me to reinstall Rhythmbox....
[02:01] <puff> MindVirus: That's what "special script/tool" means :-).  I.e. not "cp"
[02:01] <puff> dominicdinada: nope, it can also reencode th efile.
[02:01] <MindVirus> puff: cp will still work; you just won't know what file you're downloading.
[02:01] <puff> dominicdinada: Depending on a number of factors.
[02:01] <dominicdinada> puff: it does not reencode the file though
[02:01] <inductiveload> guest54446: will it take over automatically? or do i need to change something?
[02:01] <puff> dominicdinada:  Believe that if you like.
[02:01] <Typos_King> MindVirus:  yes, no relying on your upgrade madness as dependable for any files issues
[02:01] <MindVirus> puff: It does not.
[02:01] <Joshua_Roberts> Exavion, but I don't know that my machine has enough power to run DOSBox...
[02:01] <puff> MindVirus: Believe that if you like.
[02:02] <MindVirus> puff: No, you believe what you like.
[02:02] <puff> MindVirus: I believe what I know :-0.
[02:02] <MichaelKohler> is there any way I can force windows to not start positioned in a corner?
[02:02] <bp0> launchpad is always overloaded
[02:02] <Joshua_Roberts> Exavion, at least not well..  games always seem to run slow
[02:02] <MindVirus> puff: Ahh, so you know because you know but I believe because I believe. Got it.
[02:02] <dominicdinada> puff: I just backed up someones 177gig library to a network drive.  Video,Mp3 that i randomly tried
[02:02] <MindVirus> puff: Check the gpod source.
[02:02] <puff> MindVirus: Though I do not have _first_ hand experience, I wasn't the embedded programmer on tha team.
[02:02] <MindVirus> puff: And that has nothing to do with it either.
[02:02] <MindVirus> It's about the software.
[02:03] <MindVirus> The iPod has an embedded MP3 decoder chip as well as AAC.
[02:03] <MindVirus> Any MP3 will work.
[02:03] <Typos_King> MindVirus:   maybe your ipod is going south, dunno, I've had mp3 players  go down on me like that, errors when copying files, disk full when not, and after a few usb plugs in/out, kaput
[02:03] <dominicdinada> Therefore it has not re-encoded the file, Furthermore it really is unlawful to do so seeing as when you purchase the song it is yours to do what you want with it
[02:03] <MindVirus> OK.
[02:03] <puff> dominicdinada: I didn't say that it *will* renecode the file, just that it may.
[02:03] <MindVirus> Here, let me help.
[02:03] <Exavion> Joshua_Roberts: Have you tried?  It uses fairly little resources, both CPU and RAM wise, and obviously HD wise.. it runs some games better than their native linux ports
[02:03] <MindVirus> The problem is with my sound drivers.
[02:03] <MindVirus> Someone please assist.
[02:03] <dominicdinada> puff: wrong again
[02:03] <FloodBot4> MindVirus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:03] <puff> dominicdinada: Right again.
[02:03] <antonio_> anyone ever get a webcam to work in stickam?
[02:04] <puff> Look, let me boil it down for you;  I spent a couple years of my life worknig on a hardware product that wrote media files to ipods.
[02:04] <MindVirus> puff: What's it called?
[02:04] <puff> One of the huge pains in the ass that I had to listen to the embedded guys talk about, again and again, was this problem.
[02:04] <dominicdinada> MindVirus: Although when the mp3 format first came out long long ago i used it to rip and encode my cd's and i have a large amount of music that would not work on my ipod when i had it. This predated the Digital Music Rights signing/Act days
[02:05] <MindVirus> dominicdinada: I see.
[02:05] <MindVirus> puff: Do not PM without permission. It is rude.
[02:05] <Typos_King> hehhe
[02:05] <Typos_King>  /invite MindVirus #anger_management
[02:05] <puff> MindVirus: ?  first i've heard that one.
[02:05] <dominicdinada> just ignore puff... he needs to read a book or get clued in
[02:05]  * Typos_King ducks
[02:06] <MindVirus> Typos_King: ...?
[02:06] <DragonRose> Lol typo
[02:06] <MindVirus> Typos_King: It is rude.
[02:06] <MindVirus> Isn't it, everyone who gets PMed without permission?
[02:06] <inductiveload> ok, did it, and it broke again without metacity
[02:06] <MindVirus> Oh well, my crowd isn't very talkative today.
[02:06] <Guest54446> inductiveload, do u have xfwm4 installed
[02:06] <dominicdinada> Almost nobody does it anymore without first asking
[02:06] <MindVirus> I just need to fix my sound drivers.
[02:06] <inductiveload> yes
[02:07] <Guest54446> inductiveload, is metacity still installed
[02:07] <inductiveload> it is now, because it breaks everything if it isn't
[02:07] <Typos_King> MindVirus:    is no rather appropriate, but there are better etiquettes to explain such with one coming across as rude just as well
[02:07] <Guest54446> ok try killall metacity && xfwm4
[02:07] <marios> hello people
[02:07] <Typos_King> s/with/without
[02:07] <DragonRose> Asking permission for anything has been a taboo for a decade. Children these days just take.
[02:08] <marios> I just installed the new ubuntu and need some help
[02:08] <inductiveload> guest54446: ok that works
[02:08] <dominicdinada> DragonRose: Agreed this is not the IRC of the late 80s
[02:08] <Typos_King> DragonRose:    I don't disagree is inappropriate, but the way he's pointing that out, isn't really a hell lot better either
[02:08] <inductiveload> but will it stay that way when i restart?
[02:09] <elmurci> hola a todos, alguien podria ayudarme a solucionar el problema q tengo con el audio de mi portatil

[02:18] <inductiveload> guest54446: in the metacity options, in keybinding_commands, command_1 was ks do (the thing that was breaking). when i removed that, the error changed to "text was empty". seems that the backslash key is running a command?
[02:18] <Guest54446> inductiveload, yeah
[02:19] <inductiveload> is there a way to remove that command binding totally?
[02:19] <inductiveload> that is the problem, tright?

[02:20] <psusi> wildbat, no
[02:20] <imi> well, it's text/html content. I want it to be opened with firefox (and not by downloading a copy and open it, but open it as an url)
[02:20] <imi> wildbat: did you try hibernation?
[02:21] <Guest54446> inductiveload, try setting it to disable
[02:21] <imi> but don't expect 3d games to work this way. they might work, but don't expect to work
[02:21] <inductiveload> guest54446: got it
[02:21] <inductiveload> it works
[02:21] <inductiveload> :-)
[02:21] <inductiveload> thank you!
[02:21] <FloodBot4> inductiveload: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:21] <wildbat> imi, hibernation are for the whole PC , i just want a process
[02:21] <weekend12> 有人在吗？
[02:21] <Guest54446> inductiveload, cool np
[02:21] <phuzion> Hey, I've got a box that keeps crashing on a semi-regular basis, any ideas on what would be good logs to check for the cause?
[02:21] <wildbat> !cn | weekend12
[02:21] <phuzion> I don't know why, and can't figure it out
[02:22] <red-beard> !backup | red-beard
[02:22] <imi> wildbat: attach a debugger and ...
[02:22] <imi> I don't know how to do that but it might be a solution
[02:22] <MichaelKohler> is there any way I can force windows to not start positioned in a corner?
[02:22] <imi> why isn't ok to save&quit?
[02:22] <bergLNX> hm, is there a way to take a screenshot with a timer?
[02:23] <wildbat> imi coz it don't save XD
[02:23] <imi> bergLNX: yes, apps->accessorioes->screenshot tool
[02:23] <bergLNX> imi: oh, theres a dedicated screenshot tool :) sweet, thanks
[02:24] <imi> wildbat: then you still can use the debugger trick if you find out how to use it
[02:24] <imi> bergLNX: your welcome
[02:24] <decipherstatic> anyone know when eclipse helios will be available for 10.04?
[02:24] <wildbat> imi, no idea how @v@;
[02:24] <imi> decipherstatic: if voluneers make it available
[02:24] <imi> wildbat: at this time, me neither
[02:24] <decipherstatic> imi: thanks
[02:25] <phuzion> Ok, would a segfault from irssi cause a reboot by chance?
[02:26] <imi> phuzion: it could be possible, but it's very-very-very-very unlikely to happen. linux is just robust enough some userspace stuff won't kill it
[02:26] <jose> ive
[02:26] <jose> a questiom
[02:26] <jose> bout
[02:26] <jose> linuxx
[02:26] <phuzion> imi: based on what my /var/log/messages is telling me, there was a segfault right around when my system rebooted itself
[02:26] <FloodBot4> jose: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:26] <jose> or
[02:26] <jose> ubount
[02:26] <phuzion> jose: stop flooding
[02:27] <phuzion> imi: Any idea on how to figure out the root cause of this?
[02:27] <imi> phuzion: it could be possible, but I'd like to suspect a kernel module
[02:27] <iflema>  !ask | jose
[02:27] <jose> whuts a flood
[02:27] <imi> analyze the logs
[02:27] <imi> there may be something suspicious
[02:28] <Leemp> I want to write an alias to execute a series of commands, in order. How would i do that?
[02:28] <imi> you may even have a hardware error
[02:28] <phuzion> jose: entering multiple lines consecutively like you were doing.  Just type your question or messages on one line.
[02:28] <imi> can I somehow make my kmail not to use winebrowser but firefox?
[02:28] <phuzion> imi: did you want to see the line from /var/log/messages?
[02:29] <FrankLv> How can I config a user only for SSH tunnel usage?
[02:29] <imi> maybe there are several lines next to each other telling about what's happened
[02:29] <jose> i just have a simple questin idk how all this stuff works
[02:30] <phuzion> !ask | jose
[02:30] <phuzion> imi: I'll pastebin the logs, one sec
[02:30] <imi> ok
[02:31] <jose> okkk lolz thats ubottu     i try to burn any thing that ubount or any other linux thing ona cdrw
[02:31] <jose> iit allwayss faills
[02:31] <phuzion> imi: http://pastebin.com/cgLB3eTY
[02:31] <phuzion> imi: that's just a small segment of the log, obviously
[02:32] <imi> phuzion: that crash is totally unrelated
[02:32] <phuzion> how can you tell?
[02:32] <imi> look at the timestamps at the beginning of the lines
[02:32] <imi> your machine went on more than a hour after the crash
[02:33] <phuzion> Right
[02:33] <phuzion> Anywhere else to start looking?
[02:33] <aplund> hmm.. I just had empathy crash but nothing appears in /var/crash ?
[02:33] <aplund> is there something I have to turn on?
[02:33] <iflema> jose are you creating the media from an iso or putting the iso on the media?
[02:34] <jose> just buring an iso
[02:34] <phuzion> using what tool?
[02:34] <jose> cdrw  astroburn
[02:34] <phuzion> and what OS are you burning from?
[02:34] <imi> phuzion: I don't know... i've seen several crashes where the syslogd wasn't able to write the causes to hdd. if it's a usual thing, maybe you should do a memtest
[02:34] <iflema> jose have you verified the image(s)? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[02:34] <imi> if it hapened once maybe you can ignore it
[02:35] <phuzion> imi: problem:  It's a rented server, so I can't necessarily do memtests very easily
[02:35] <imi> there's also tools to debug the kernel, but it's even harder
[02:35] <jose> win xp to make a laptop that had win xp work it die n yea llols it happens with anything i try to burn other
[02:35] <phuzion> imi: not exactly a one time thing, it's happened a few times in the past
[02:35] <jose> ops nn same thing
[02:35] <phuzion> jose: try imgburn
[02:35] <phuzion> and set your write speed to the lowest it will go
[02:35] <phuzion> and have the program do a verify at the end
[02:35] <jose> yea i did
[02:35] <jose> yea
[02:35] <imi> phuzion: if it's a rented server, then go ahead and report it to the company providing your server
[02:35] <jose> exaxclyy
[02:36] <phuzion> imi: I don't know that it's hardware, though.  And I
[02:36] <jose> it says
[02:36] <boolean> or you could do a find / -type f and see it is a harddrive issue
[02:36] <phuzion> imi: I don't know that it's hardware, though.  And I'm responsible for the software.
[02:36] <magn3ts> !keyserver
[02:36] <phuzion> boolean: what does that do?
[02:36] <magn3ts> Sigh, the keyserver is down
[02:37] <imi> phuzion: maybe you can ask
[02:37] <jose> yea i think it is cause all ma discks work on any other pc jsut not on this lap top btw this laptop has no op it used to be winxp
[02:37] <boolean> basically it will list every file on screen thus modifying the meta-data thus access the file
[02:37] <boolean> if anything wierd popus from find(1) it might be sometbing
[02:37] <boolean> like a corrupt fs instead
[02:37] <imi> I'd better like to run a memtest here or have someone to see the machine
[02:37] <boolean> the syslogd does write to a file
[02:38] <boolean> and since you are getting no logs, it might be that
[02:38] <phuzion> I have logs, it's just that the system is crashing without generating any useful data
[02:38] <phuzion> At least on the crash side of things.  When it boots back up, it logs dutifully.
[02:38] <boolean> there is an option when one builds the kernel ( and it could be a module and you might be able to compile just that )
[02:39] <jose> thing is ma lap top has
[02:39] <dsnyders> Hi all!  There's a pushd command and a popd command, but what about a command to swap the current and stacked directory (swapd?)
[02:39] <jose> been able to
[02:39] <boolean> what this module does is take a dump of the kernel and memory and write a file for it
[02:39] <Vin73> hi I need some help with an issue I am facing while trying to install b43legacy driver
[02:39] <jose> the thing is that ma lap top has been able to run bootable discks
[02:39] <boolean> you could examine that on the reboot
[02:39] <p1l0t_> If I use an encrypted hardrive, can I still serve a web page from it or would that be fail>
[02:39] <Vin73> I am booting from live CD
[02:40] <phuzion> p1l0t_: that should work, as long as the hard drive is decrypted when you wish to serve the page.
[02:40] <jose> i can boot falcon 4 just fine min xp but i want something i can save on the hard drive nn not have all the booting stuff
[02:40] <boolean> i believe you can use gdb(1) to examine it ... might be a process causing it
[02:41] <dsnyders> p1l0t, the httpd server would request the file (which the OS would decrypt) and transmit it to the client.
[02:41] <Dr_Willis> dsnyders:  check the abs guide and other bash guides -I seem tor ecall such a thing.. but cant recall ever using it.
[02:41] <p1l0t_> phuzion, dsnyders, thanks
[02:41] <Dr_Willis> dsnyders:  you can   cd /foo    then Somthing to just cd back to where you where at..
[02:41] <wildbat> how do i set the account "guest" auto logout after inactive like 5 min ?
[02:42] <jose> if any one canss  i wanna learn allot about linux in stuff i started by just puing peaces to geather when  i was smal but now i wanna learn how to do all this stuff stuff
[02:42] <boolean> p1l0t: u will get s potential delay with the serving of the file though
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> dsnyders:  'cd /etc'   ' cd -' goes back to my home here. :)
[02:42] <Vin73> hello can any of the members help me?
[02:42] <DestinyAwaits> Hey, Dr_Willis are you there.
[02:42] <p1l0t_> boolean thats ok this is just a home project not my work server
[02:42] <jose><EMAIL_ADDRESS>if anyones intrested in helping mee
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> dsnyders:  and cd - then goes back to /etc/
[02:42] <phuzion> !ask | vin73
[02:42] <Vin73> hi phuzion
[02:42] <red2kic> !manual | jose
[02:43] <boolean> p1l0t: kewl, the home ones are the funnest ones to do :)
[02:43] <Vin73> hi I need some help with an issue I am facing while trying to install b43legacy driver
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> Vin73:  state the actual issues..
[02:43] <Vin73> I am booting from a live CD
[02:43] <jose> thing is i need the lap top fixed in like 3 days nn i need
[02:44] <jose> ssomething that can
[02:44] <Vin73> I would like to share the log file here....can you tell me how I could use a paste utility to upload the file to a pastebin?
[02:44] <dsnyders> How do I install man pages for cd?
[02:44] <red2kic> !pastebinit | Vin73
[02:44] <Vin73> ok thanks
[02:44] <boolean> Vin73: i should mention that any file you create when using a live cd will disappear on the next reboot, unless you are writing them directly to the harddrive
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> dsnyders:  many bash commands are 'bash built in' commands - and dont have man pages. Check the bash docs, and guides for info on them
[02:45] <jose> yea i wanna know how to make ma laptop save puppy linux
[02:45] <trism_> dsnyders: help cd
[02:45] <Vin73> ok boolean thqnkw for the info...I will try and post the log....
[02:45] <boolean> the livecd fs is on a ramdisk ... thus on your memory so each reboot it will act like it did the first time
[02:45] <Dr_Willis> jose:  see #puppylinux channel. ?  if you mean have a 'save file' on a puppylinux setup.
[02:45] <jose> i did thoo thnaks
[02:45] <jose> allot
[02:45] <boolean> Vin73: kewl ... i like  logs :)
[02:46] <p1l0t_> boolean: yeah I can really have some fun with this one
[02:46] <jose> i reall wanna learn allot bout pcss n stuff ive learned allout i though i knew ma way around lols i could fix any pc with the rcoevrdiscs but now this all maeks me see how much there is too learn
[02:46] <trism_> dsnyders: also, according to help pushd, pushd with no arguments may be what you want for swapd (it swaps the top two directories on the stack), I may misunderstand what you want though
[02:46] <ddilinger> anyone create mp4 streams with mplayer and MP4Box ?  i need to use MP4Box to hint the resulting mp4 so it can be streamed, but MP4Box crashes when i do the encoding with mplayer.  if i use mplayer to spit out y4m video and wav audio, use faac and x264 to encode, and then MP4Box to put back together no segfault, but the audio sync is way off.  trying to make streaming android videos
[02:46]  * boolean is playing with Zimbra on a 8.04 server
[02:46] <dsnyders> trism_, I didn't know the help  command existed.  However, it doesn't provide enough help in this case nothing on cd -
[02:47] <red2kic> jose: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html
[02:47] <boolean> which is an exchange system but for linux
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> jose:  and puppylinux in many is not a good 'linux' to 'learn linux from' it has way too many of its own quirks. I suggest sticking with normal 'ubuntu'
[02:47] <Vin73> boolean: please share the complete command with me for pastebinit..the log file is /var/log/jockey.log
[02:47] <magn3ts> Please, please, please tell me this is a joke? There's no longer a manual location box in nautilus?
[02:47] <boolean> really nice features all running on OSS
[02:47] <dsnyders> trism_, pushd by itself may be exactly what I'm looking for.
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> magn3ts:  hit ctrl-l or /
[02:47] <magn3ts> jfc
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> magn3ts:  and you can turn it on permently by some gconf tweak.
[02:47] <magn3ts> thanks
[02:47] <magn3ts> of course
[02:47] <DestinyAwaits> I do have a question for you. Remember i asked you about the book on network administration. And u recommended me oreilly books first i bought that book but while i was reading the book i saw that the topics of the book were not explained in detail. For example ifconfig output was not upto the mark.
[02:47] <magn3ts> thanks for the tip
[02:47] <Vin73> boolean: hello
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> magn3ts:  been that way for.. err.. ages. :)
[02:47] <trism_> dsnyders: really? odd, this is what I get for help cd http://pastebin.com/kjnbW1aV
[02:48] <magn3ts> there was a button in 9.10 :P
[02:48] <jose> o okk ill try ubount anagn is there any link that for a fact the download will be good
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> magn3ts:  yes. the button has been removed.  but not the feature. ctrl-l has worked for ages.
[02:48] <boolean> Vin73: i dont remember them off hand ... man pastebin should give you what you need
[02:48] <red2kic> Vin73: pastebinit /var/log/jockey.log ?
[02:48] <phuzion> boolean: nothing from find showed up weird
[02:48] <magn3ts> Dr_Willis, ah I see
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> magn3ts:  i find the little 'pathbar' thing so annoying - i niormally enable the normal address bar. and leave it always on
[02:49] <boolean> phuzion: do a dmesg and the last few lines might reveal something ..
[02:50] <jose> does any one have a toshiba tecra a1
[02:50] <boolean> sometimes the kernel captures something that the find(1) process might miss/
[02:50] <Vin73> red2kic: that does not work...I am booting from a live CD and apt-get fails for pastebinit with the error no package
[02:50] <Dr_Willis> Vin73:  'sudo apt-get update' then try 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit'
[02:51] <Vin73> Dr_wills: OK
[02:51] <boolean> if the apt-get actually tells what file it is trying to get ... do a google search for it and dl it from there
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> Its also possibkle with a live cd. you can run out of ram :)
[02:51] <jose> does any one have have toshiba tecra a1
[02:51] <dsnyders> trism_, I just gave pushd with no arguments a whirl.  It does exactly what I was looking for.  Oh, and with the help cd, I get the same info, which has nothing about the cd - command that Dr_Willis was mentioning, just cd -L and cd -P
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> one reason i always make swap partitions on all my hd's - for the live cd's top uise
[02:52] <boolean> live cd will use a swap partition if it finds one ?
[02:52] <phuzion> boolean: http://pastebin.com/2e4Gd4d0 could you take a look at that and see if you find anything fishy?
[02:52] <dsnyders> Dr_Willis, swap partitions on each drive... that's not a bad idea.
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> dsnyders:  cd -    is proberly a 'shortcut' to some other 'default' argument.  like 'su -' is shortcut for 'sudo -u root' (i think) or some other cases..
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> dsnyders:  yep. always omne at the end of every hd on every system i make. saved my backside a few times
[02:52] <boolean> phuzion: k
[02:53] <Dr_Willis> dsnyders:  even wiondows machines.. get one. :)
[02:53] <jose> thank yew every one
[02:53] <jose> and if any one has time to try to teach any thing to a guy who is new to this<EMAIL_ADDRESS>thats ma email
[02:54] <iflema> !repeat | jose
[02:54] <Vin73> Dr_Willis: the connect fails when I try sudo apt-get update....but Internet connectivity is fine
[02:54] <boolean> phuzion: u do have a bunch of TCP errors ... network issues ?
[02:55] <boolean> jose: read and play
[02:55] <julian_> I'm trying to add a PPA to my system (Ubuntu 10.04)  Where do I put the signing key?
[02:55] <boolean> jose: pick something you want to try with your ubuntu and play with it
[02:55] <Vin73> Dr_Willis: hello
[02:56] <red2kic> julian_: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:Dr_Willis" for an example.
[02:56] <phuzion> boolean: high traffic server, wouldn't surprise me
[02:56] <phuzion> boolean: then again, is that abnormal to have that many?
[02:56] <red2kic> julian_: That'll add PPA + Signing Key in one swoop command.
[02:56] <xangua> julian_: sudo add-apt-repository "ppa name" and it should be added automatically
[02:56] <dsnyders> boolean, good advice.  Too bad jose left before you provided it.
[02:57] <julian_> red2kic, I did that, but I'm getting an HTTP fetch error 7...couldn't connect to host.
[02:57] <has_> #ubuntubrasil-orkut
[02:57] <mekos> anybody: when you set up apache2 server can people see it from the internet or just your intra net?
[02:57] <boolean> phuzion: dunno ... could have happened overtime or with one given connection
[02:57] <boolean> no time stamp :P
[02:57] <p1l0t_> mekos: depends on how you set it up - both are possible
[02:57] <phuzion> mekos: depends on your network setup
[02:58] <julian_> Another error I'm getting is "gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found."
[02:58] <phuzion> if you want to have it accessible over the internet, you would probably have to set up port forwarding
[02:58] <dsnyders> mekos, By default I think anyone who has tcpip access to your machine will see it.
[02:58] <boolean> mekos: it sounds like you are behind firewall with your own LAN ... only people on the same LAN with you can see it
[02:59] <yillkid> Hi ... I have a question . :)
[02:59] <mekos> boolean: on on a single computer -
[02:59] <phuzion> !ask | yillkid
[02:59] <boolean> ! pastebin
[02:59] <red2kic> julian_: I see. Well, if you already added the PPA in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, you can "sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com KEYKEYKEY"
[02:59] <mekos> boolean: using ubuntu 10.04
[02:59] <yillkid> I want to chroot to a directory and run a shell script on here .
[02:59] <yillkid> So my command is : cp my_shell /target_mount_point ; chroot /target_mount_point /bin/bash /my_shell
[03:00] <boolean> mekos: if you are not hooked up to any network .. only u will see it
[03:00] <Vin73> can anyone advise me on this one? sudo apt-get update fails for me because unable to connect to server...but Internet connectivity is fine
[03:00] <xangua> julian_: or manualy download the key file from the PPA's web and import it thru synaptic
[03:00] <Vin73> I am booting from a live CD
[03:00] <mekos> boolean: can't get to it from the internet?
[03:00] <boolean> yillkid: u will need to ensure that the shell script is within that chrooted dir
[03:00] <yillkid> That' no problem for excuting my_shll, but I can't chroot to the target_mount_point
[03:00] <fishcooker> viva england n german :D
[03:00] <boolean> Vin73: u r on a live cd ... wont work
[03:01] <yillkid> boolean: Yes, I am sure, the script is excuting sucesslly, but I ust can't chroot to the target.
[03:01] <Vin73> boolean: I need to share some logs...if not pastebinit how else can I do it?
[03:01] <julian_> red2kic and xangua, i've tried starting from scratch and removed it from Update Manager/ Sources list and ran the command again.
[03:01] <boolean> mekos: is your computer directly conncted? then y but only if your service provider allows for incoming port 80 ( http ) ... most dont
[03:01] <yillkid> boolean: I still in my host root .
[03:02] <p1l0t_> mekos: You will have to make sure apache2 is setup to listen on port 80 for all IPs (*:80) and that port 80 is forwarded through your router to your computer.
[03:02] <boolean> Vin73: cut and paste to channel.... but i think the max is 5 and most people wont like it
[03:02] <mekos> boolean: thanks, was afraid of that... p1|0t: alrighty, will check on that
[03:03] <Vin73> boolean: I will try and paste only the particular line....
[03:03] <boolean> yillkid: when you chroot a dir that dir become / ( root )
[03:03] <yillkid> boolean: yes, I know . :)
[03:03] <boolean> yillkid: take a look around see if the dir structure is the same after the chroot
[03:03] <yillkid> boolean: no, not tha same .
[03:03] <p1l0t_> mekos: yeah boolean makes a good point you may have to do some creative work to get around port 80 being blocked by your isp... like dyndns with a different port
[03:04] <boolean> yillkid: then your chroot worked!
[03:04] <yillkid> boolean: the script have run, but I still int the host .
[03:04] <mekos> p1|0t: ok, maybe just sack it - too tired
[03:04] <boolean> if the dir structures are different, you are in your chroot jail ...
[03:04] <yillkid> boolean: Sorry, I have still in the host.
[03:05] <boolean> ok do this.
[03:05] <boolean> exit out of the shell
[03:05] <boolean> touch a file called file.tmp
[03:05] <magn3ts> So who wants to explain this one to me: http://paste.ubuntu.com/454219/
[03:05] <boolean> then do your chroot
[03:05] <p1l0t_> mekos: It depends on your ISP though, try it first. If it is just open a dyndns account and have one forward a different port
[03:05] <boolean> then do an ls -l file.tmp
[03:05] <p1l0t_> mekos: is it working on your lan?

[03:24] <John_Albert>  I'm trying to launch multiple conky instances, but it's not working
[03:24] <SlidingHorn> RabbitMan, I think rsync  see below:

[03:24] <snarkster1> so no /dev/random anymore?
[03:24] <John_Albert> I want to have conky elements on both sides of my screen
[03:24] <John_Albert>  I've also tried using ${offset}, but that is not working either
[03:25] <SlidingHorn> John_Albert, you gotta give details man...what errors, behaviors, etc...and keep it to one line
[03:25] <RabbitMan> I was tinkering with multisync.  Do you think rsync is better?  (Goes to check it out)
[03:25] <rww> snarkster1: you want /dev/urandom. /dev/random blocks when there isn't enough entropy (randomness) in the system, and there sure as heck isn't enough to dd onto a drive.
[03:25] <John_Albert> well, when I run the shell script, nly one instance of conky appears

[03:29] <Zakatharant> That is the real question.  I diagnosed the problem down to that fault.  The only other thing it could be is an ancient video card that is incompatible with Regnum Online, which is absurd, given I was playing it on an older model laptop (under Hardy), before the monitor on it died.
[03:29] <Vin73> ubottu: hello
[03:30] <SlidingHorn> Vin73, that was a response I triggered the bot to say (about the md5) -- let's move on to the next possibility...did you burn the image @ low speed?  (about 4x is recommended)
[03:30] <regeya> I have a bizarre question as usual.  I have drives that were originally in a Debian PPC machine, and it's not convenient to reformat/repartition the drive at this time.  Is it still possible, regardless, to install grub2?  It doesn't seem to like the mac (ppc) partitioning scheme.

I had a Dell Studio XPS 16 which at first Ubuntu ran terribly, but things gained support over time.... took about 2 years of course. One detail that pretty much sucked from the day I got that machine was the ATI graphics. So we bought this laptop which has Nvidia, which has pretty good reputation on linux and we want to do GPGPU stuff... never realized how hit-or-mi

[03:48] <rmrfslash> Problem? I install Ubuntu 10.04 and install the restricted driver only to be left w/ a black screen upon reboot. Then I think "fine I'll boot into recovery mode and uninstall the restricted driver".... yeah right. It's like you have a 10ms window of opportunity to actually even get into the grub menu now from a blinking cursor.
[03:48] <pepee> Joshua_Roberts, use mount.smbfs
[03:49] <SlidingHorn> rmr-----hold shift when you power up to bring up grub menu
[03:49] <notmorewindows> i cant to found a program so good like devede but for codec xvid....
[03:49] <HowardTheDuck> hey all.  i have a dual boot system and am upgrading the hard drive.  is there an easy way to just move all the data, os, settings, etc right over to the new one?
[03:49] <Speiros> Could the problem be with the reading of my drive be that it is an external drive for a laptop, and I am trying to read it on a desktop?  Should that matter?'
[03:49] <HowardTheDuck> btw the hard drive i'm upgrading to is the same size, just bigger cache, so, i'm not going to need to resize them
[03:49] <rmrfslash> OK, so say you get lucky right (holding down shift and grub feels like listening)? Then, you say boot in recovery mode... a whole plethora of garbage is printed to the screen and then the screen goes blank. Fun stuff.
[03:50] <pepee> SlidingHorn, use tab for autocompletion. ex.: slid<TAB>
[03:50] <rmrfslash> So say you actually get really lucky and get to a command prompt i.e. Ubuntu decides finally after a few hours that it actually will boot using low-graphics mode
[03:50] <SlidingHorn> doesn't sound like an ubuntu problem then if it's still doing that in recovery mode
[03:50] <Joshua_Roberts> pepee, I get mount: can't find .smbfs in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

[03:51] <SlidingHorn> Dafreak, yeah...what Jordan_U said

[03:54] <rmrfslash> Speiros: I've seen the backwards stuff for too long to just stay quiet about it.... I've read the Linux Journal articles and sadly, they're 100% right
[03:54] <pepee> Joshua_Roberts, ok, that's the command
[03:54] <Speiros> rmr: Ah.  It is frustrating when things don't work.  I even did a nono, and tried windows again, to the usual frustrations of things slowing down and my files being corrupted.
[03:54] <h00k> Speiros: have you checked the Ubuntu Manual out?
[03:54] <Speiros> At least on here, I can keep my files
[03:55] <rmrfslash> Speiros: and I feel bad about it. I want Ubuntu to be the Linux people always wanted. I've been hearing "year of the Linux desktop" for like 2 decades and it never happens
[03:55] <Speiros> h00k: No, I haven't.  Can you give me an address please?
[03:55] <pepee> Speiros, what's the problem?
[03:55] <h00k> !manual | Speiros
[03:55] <Dafreak> Jordan_U:  Used the terminal method and it works fine.  How do I configure or run it?  I dont see it in any of the applications or anything.
[03:55] <gerber> how can i put youtuve video o ipod 30gb
[03:55] <Jordan_U> Dafreak: Can't help you there.
[03:55] <Speiros> Thank you h00k
[03:55] <h00k> !ipod | gerber
[03:55] <Dafreak> Jordan_U:  Ok, thanks for the help.
[03:55] <Jordan_U> Dafreak: You're welcome.
[03:55] <rmrfslash> I've done my duty too and filed LOTS of bugs in launchpad
[03:56] <h00k> Speiros: also, if you're new to Ubuntu, you can check out #ubuntu-beginners by typing /join #ubuntu-beginners
[03:56] <Speiros> pepee: I have an external drive, which isn't able to be recognised by linux.
[03:56] <pepee> Speiros, usb?
[03:56] <Speiros> Yes
[03:56] <sensae> Dafreak why not install the quicksynergy package? It has a GUI
[03:56] <win_2_linux> ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt\
[03:56] <win_2_linux> oops sorry
[03:56] <notmorewindows> win2linux  i need to turn to xvid
[03:57] <rmrfslash> But it's like every release fixes some bugs and then brings in new bugs where there weren't any before. And then you hit a LTS and things are just completely messed up beyond belief and then it's like 1998 again.
[03:57] <rmrfslash> over and over and over
[03:57] <pepee> Speiros, let me help you. plug it and do this in the terminal/console: lsusb
[03:57] <win_2_linux> i checked a button for disabling touchpad while typing and of course tried typing but touch pad is working
[03:57] <gerber> how can i put youtuve video o ipod 30gb
[03:57] <Speiros> Okay.
[03:57] <h00k> rmrfslash: Please keept he conversation Ubuntu support related in here
[03:57] <Joshua_Roberts> pepee, how do I use it if all I know is the IP address?
[03:57] <SlidingHorn> gerber, you've already been given information, please don't repeat yourself every few minute
[03:58] <Speiros> Pepee: I believe it is on there, but am unsure.
[03:58] <h00k> gerber: Please see the link that has been given to you
[03:58] <pepee> Joshua_Roberts, man mount.smbfs
[03:58] <pepee> Joshua_Roberts, or use google
[03:58] <rmrfslash> I single handedly got the Dell Studio XPS 16 working
[03:59] <Speiros> Let me remove it and try the same command, to see if it is recognising it.
[03:59] <SlidingHorn> rmrfslash, are you going to get to a point eventually and ask a question, or are you just here to rant...if that's the case, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:59] <pepee> Joshua_Roberts, IIRC is something like mount.smbfs \\IP\shared /PATH -o <options>
[04:00] <pepee> Speiros, ok
[04:00] <h00k> !google
[04:00] <rmrfslash> SlidingHorn: you know I actually pointed out like 6 different issues, questions right?
[04:00] <Speiros> pepee: Yes, it is recognising it
[04:00] <Speiros> sunplus technology
[04:00] <pepee> Joshua_Roberts, you can google "smbmount" too, or "mount.cifs"
[04:00] <win_2_linux> thanks for you help i found the solution for those who may want to or need to try it in the future
[04:00] <win_2_linux> synclient TouchPadOff=1
[04:00] <pepee> Speiros, ok, it's being recognized
[04:01] <pepee> Speiros, now let's see if there's a module for it
[04:01] <Speiros> ok
[04:01] <pepee> Speiros, sudo fdisk -l
[04:02] <pepee> no need to use sudo...
[04:02] <Speiros> I think it is on there.  There is a linux swap / Solaris
[04:02] <pepee> it is new? isn't formatted?
[04:02] <Zeike> Does anybody know how to bind one keystroke combination to another?
[04:02] <Speiros> and there is a drive in FAT32
[04:02] <Speiros> I don't know which is which though
[04:02] <Speiros> I only have one harddrive apart from the external one
[04:03] <Dafreak> sensae:  Is quicksynergy same as synergy+?
[04:03] <pepee> Zeike, IIRC xmodmap
[04:03] <pepee> Speiros, remove it and try again: fdisk -l
[04:03] <h00k> Dafreak: No, synergy+ was picked up from stagnation on the Synergy project
[04:03] <Speiros> pepee: Yep.
[04:03] <HowardTheDuck> will gparted move all my data to a new hdd
[04:04] <rmrfslash> seems no one is hanging out on offtopic
[04:04] <h00k> Dafreak: unfortunately, if you're having problems with Synergy+, you'll have to check their projet help information out, as that particluar program isn't in the repos
[04:04] <rmrfslash> anyone here using Nvidia GT 300M series graphics
[04:04] <pepee> Speiros, it the disk being recognized as swap/solaris?
[04:05] <h00k> rmrfslash: Ask your specific question, you'll probably get a better answer
[04:05] <Speiros> No, there was another one as that, I think, as that was still recognised even after removing it.
[04:05] <Dafreak> h00k:  thanks.
[04:05] <Speiros> It is recognising it as sdc
[04:05] <Speiros> So I have found it, but don't know what to do about it.
[04:06] <zatlite> is zfs the only dedup file system available for 32 bit machines?
[04:06] <pepee> Speiros, is the disk being recognized by the BIOS?
[04:06] <Kane_Hart> Does this work for anyone? http://sharedlayer.com/
[04:06] <Speiros> pepee: How do I find that out?
[04:06] <pepee> Speiros, oh, ok, forget it...
[04:06] <WebDawg> I have a machine.  Everytime I upgrade the kernel it messes with the boot menu so it does not auto time out.
[04:06] <WebDawg> What is the deal?
[04:06] <rmrfslash> Anyone here using an Asus K42JV with Nvidia Geforce GT 335M graphics who has tried to install the restricted driver and failed i.e. rebooted to a black screen and can't get into root consol recovery mode?
[04:06] <Random832> zatlite: the only who what?
[04:06] <pepee> Speiros, if ubuntu show the disk, then it is.
[04:06] <rmrfslash> better?
[04:07] <h00k> rmrfslash: I suppose it's more specific. Which of the drivers did you install?
[04:07] <pepee> rmrfslash, you have to edit the kernel boot command line
[04:07] <Speiros> pepee: When I go to places, it doesn't show up on my computer screen
[04:07] <SlidingHorn> Kane_Hart, this channel is for ubuntu support only...you may want to see if they have their own channel or support forum
[04:07] <pepee> rmrfslash, and remove "splash" and "quiet"
[04:07] <zatlite> Random832; I'm interested in filesystems that will allow dedup option
[04:07] <xray_tsk> Hello. I bumped into a situation, when someone broke the support of previously worked soundcard. Update to the last version of ALSA helped, but it's a non-debian style! Should I post a report? Give a link, please.
[04:07] <Kane_Hart> SlidingHorn?
[04:07] <pepee> Speiros, IIRC if it's not formatted, it will not be shown
[04:07] <Kane_Hart> What the fuck are you sucking on SlidingHorn
[04:07] <Kane_Hart> better not be a dick
[04:08] <Kane_Hart> I asked if a site worked
[04:08] <Speiros> Kane, language

[04:08] <Kane_Hart> Christians!!!!!!!!
[04:08] <FloodBot2> Kane_Hart: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:08] <rmrfslash> pepee: the problem is, even if I get to the grub menu and begin booting into recovery mode eventually... right around the time it should ask you if you want a root console with networking or a root console without networking the screen goes black
[04:08] <Kane_Hart> ride
[04:08] <Speiros> Be respectful to others Kane
[04:08] <Kane_Hart> rude*
[04:08] <SlidingHorn> wow...a lot of d-bags in here tonight
[04:08] <Zeike> pepee: I dont think xmodmap is going to help me
[04:08] <pepee> rmrfslash, do what I told you, please
[04:09] <rmrfslash> h00k: not sure, all I can say is that it's the one that I'm prompted to install by Ubuntu shortly after installation.
[04:09] <pepee> rmrfslash, s/do/try/
[04:09] <h00k> !guidelines > Kane_Hart
[04:09] <FoolishOwl> I'm trying out mutt, and I'm puzzled why it creates an empty Mail folder and a file "sent" outside that folder.
[04:09] <pepee> Speiros, ok, so you think the disk is /dev/sdc?
[04:10] <rmrfslash> pepee: it's not actually the problem. booting into recovery mode was only so I could try to install the Nvidia driver I downloaded from Nvidia, which I did, but it did not change the behavior i.e. blank screen on reboot
[04:10] <Speiros> pepee: Yes, it is mate
[04:10] <rmrfslash> pepee: so I suppose booting into recovery mode is one of several problems
[04:10] <SlidingHorn> Kane_Hart, I wasn't being mean...I was simply informing you that your question was not ubuntu related and probably would be best served elsewhere...it's nothing personal, and attacking people isn't a good way to get help with whatever problem you're having
[04:10] <rmrfslash> pepee: but not the most troublesome, so I'm actually willing to ignore that one for now
[04:11] <pepee> rmrfslash, if you can get the root console, you almost solved it.
[04:12] <pepee> Speiros, ok. again, it is formatted, or being recognized as swap/solaris? can you see something like /dev/sdc1?
[04:12] <rmrfslash> pepee: I don't think that solves the nvidia problem
[04:12] <pepee> rmrfslash, remove the driver, and reinstall it correctly
[04:13] <Speiros> pepee: Yes, it is recognised as /dev/sdc1, and it is in FAT32 format
[04:13] <rmrfslash> pepee: right now I'm at a fresh Ubuntu installation using the FOSS driver
[04:13] <pepee> rmrfslash, by "correctly" I mean: read whatever toutorial you find about reinstallin the nvidia driver in ubuntu lucid
[04:14] <pepee> Speiros, well, you just need to mount it
[04:14] <pepee> Speiros, don't know how to do it correctly.... xD
[04:14] <rmrfslash> pepee: read a tutorial on installing a nvidia driver in lucid?
[04:14] <Speiros> pepee:  Hmm, okay.  I did try this before, through mount manager once, but that was a while ago.  No, I don't mate.
[04:14] <rmrfslash> pepee: I thought you just use the restricted driver application
[04:15] <rmrfslash> pepee: and if that fails, you try to install the one directly from nvidia (of course you need to boot into recovery mode i.e. w/o X)
[04:15] <pepee> Speiros, but its something like sudo mkdir "/media/sdc1; mount -t vfat -o <some options here> /dev/sdc1 /media/sdc1"
[04:15] <rmrfslash> pepee: is that incorrect?
[04:16] <pepee> rmrfslash, you may need to uninstall the foss driver before installing it from nvidia
[04:16] <Speiros> pepee: I don't understand.  Do I enter that data, but the data is missing some information?
[04:16] <pepee> rmrfslash, Speiros, don't know the specifics. I just give 'generic' help.
[04:16] <rmrfslash> pepee: so that's not done by the restricted driver installer application that comes w/ Ubuntu?
[04:16] <pepee> Speiros, yes, you do need to know what options to use
[04:17] <Speiros> pepee: No probs.  It's appreciated man.
[04:17] <Speiros> I see
[04:17] <pepee> rmrfslash, did you use jockey-gtk?
[04:17] <rmrfslash> pepee: no idea what that is
[04:17] <Speiros> pepee: The options though, if I start with sudo mkdir "/media/sdc1, will that work?
[04:18] <pepee> Speiros, the options are between <>
[04:18] <rmrfslash> pepee: yes, that's what I meant when I was saying the "restricted drivers application"
[04:18] <pepee> Speiros, do this: install pastebinit: sudo install pastebinit
[04:19] <Speiros> pepee: Where would I source the options?  I'll do the install too.
[04:19] <pepee> Speiros, and then do: cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit
[04:19] <Speiros> missing destination file operand after pastebinit
[04:19] <pepee> rmrfslash, well, it may be a bug on the program, don't really know
[04:19] <rmrfslash> pepee: I install Ubuntu 10.04, then jockey asks me if I want to install the restricted driver (which I do want) but when I do install it (through jockey) and reboot I just get to a black screen
[04:20] <pepee> rmrfslash, try googling "install nvidia driver lucid command line"
[04:20] <rmrfslash> pepee: yes, now were getting to the root of my frustration
[04:20] <pepee> Speiros, sorry: sudo aptitude install pastebinit
[04:20] <Speiros> thanks
[04:21] <zus> how was it i can change what torrnet is opened by default in Firefox?

[04:21] <duckwars> I'm trying to boot my friends old computer which I will try to turn into a home server, and nothing comes up on the monitor, but a yellow light on the front flashes (kind of slow, like a half second flash every 10 seconds), please any ideas?
[04:21] <pepee> puff, check the md5sum of the iso image
[04:21] <Speiros> pepee: Okay.  I have added both commands.
[04:21] <SlidingHorn> zus: Edit > Preferences > Applications
[04:22] <zus> red2kic, thanks
[04:22] <zus> SlidingHorn,  thanks
[04:22] <pepee> Speiros, pastebinit returns a URL...
[04:22] <Speiros> pepee: Yes.
[04:22] <HowardTheDuck> is there a way i can copy my ubuntu/win7 partitions to a new hard drive?
[04:22] <Speiros> pepee: should I type it in here?
[04:23] <pepee> Speiros, yep
[04:23] <h00k> HowardTheDuck: yes, you can use the tool 'dd'
[04:23] <dathku2> does ubuntu unlock a locked account after some time period?
[04:23] <h00k> !info dd | HowardTheDuck
[04:23] <Cpt_Zyph> does xubuntu support i586 proc?
[04:23] <Speiros> pepee: http://pastebin.com/AiKE0iq1
[04:23] <HowardTheDuck> h00k: yeah?
[04:23] <puff> pepee: Blech, md5sum doesn't match.
[04:23] <h00k> HowardTheDuck: type 'man dd' in a terminal
[04:23] <zus> SlidingHorn,  i dont see "torrents" anywhere
[04:23] <HowardTheDuck> i'd like an easy way to do it, without having to reinstall grub if possible
[04:23] <lzh> help
[04:24] <pepee> puff, you may want to d/l a new image hehe
[04:24] <pepee> puff, also, IIRC, k3b will check iso images too, give it a try ;)
[04:24] <h00k> HowardTheDuck: you could 'dd if=/dev/sd1 of=/home/username/file.img' or similar.  The syntax can be found on the 'dd' page.
[04:25] <pepee> oh, well, does anyone what options are needed to mount a FAT partition?
[04:25] <red2kic> HowardTheDuck: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem (See Drive Imaging)
[04:25] <HowardTheDuck> thanks

[04:26] <Speiros> Probably the reason why I can't access it.
[04:26] <pepee> Speiros, no need to do that. I just don't know how to mount it correctly
[04:26] <Speiros> lol
[04:26] <Speiros> I see

[04:33] <pepee> John_Albert, please, don't repeat.
[04:33] <John_Albert> yeah, I've tried in there
[04:34] <John_Albert> it's pretty dead
[04:34] <Speiros> pepee: It says I have nautilus installed, but I can't find it on the applications or system
[04:34] <IdleOne> John_Albert: you are going to need to give the channel more detail about what you are trying to accomplish and errors you might be getting
[04:34] <pepee> Speiros, ALT+F2, type nautilus and press enter
