[05:20] <greezmunkey> ikonia: ok, I get it. What I am really searching for is a pppoe server *daemon*
[05:21] <ikonia> greezmunkey: probably a better description
[05:21] <greezmunkey> ikonia: thank you for clarifying that for me :)
[05:21] <schultza> bastidrazor: this is the current file now. http://paste.ubuntu.com/439185/
[05:22] <bastidrazor> schultza: no, you need a TEXT section and things under TEXT telling conky what to display
[05:22] <greezmunkey> ikonia: I just realized, if "user-space" is user space, what is the rest of the "space" called!?!
[05:22] <Yadda> ugh... gotta go to bed. I'll get back to trying to get this to work tomorrow, and if I'm still having problems, well, yeah. seeya in a day, I guess.
[05:23] <schultza> bastidrazor: ok, i will continue looking.
[05:23] <bastidrazor> schultza: http://pastebin.com/cXZq3JFS   this is my current conkyrc file
[05:23] <schultza> bastidrazor: i will try it.
[05:24] <coldboot|home> How do you get your volume control back in Ubuntu 10.04?  I'm using Alsa.
[05:24] <MyWay> hello, how can i sync a folder which isn't in documents, with ubuntu one? (i'm using 10.04)
[05:24] <schultza> bastidrazor: thanks. it worked.
[05:24] <actionParsnip> coldboot|home: gnome-volume something, try typing that into an alt+f2 box, see if it completes
[05:25] <coldboot|home> actionParsnip: Yeah, so how do you get that on Gnome Panel?
[05:25] <greezmunkey> ikonia: hey! check this out: The -F option causes pppoe-server not to fork and become a daemon. The default is to fork and become a daemon.
[05:25] <bastidrazor> schultza: http://conky.sourceforge.net/documentation.html  and view the variables and config file settings pages to tweak it to your needs.
[05:25] <schultza> bastidrazor, thanks. ill take a look
[05:26] <undecim> coldboot|home: The only way I've found to change volume in 10.04 without pulse is to use alsamixer from the terminal
[05:26] <greezmunkey> ikonia: forking pppoe server...
[05:26] <schultza> IdeAlEss, what is the exact error you are getting. Please use http://paste.ubuntu.com
[05:26] <coldboot|home> Someone is gravely retarded for regressing volume control in Ubuntu.
[05:26] <egaudet> How do I disable the annoying bass sound when backspacing too far in xterm/xchat
[05:26] <bastidrazor> schultza: i spent an hour or so setting things the way i wanted. it can be fun.
[05:26] <undecim> coldboot|home: You could set up some hotkeys to change the volume maybe, or install a package from debian, though I haven't looked into it much
[05:26] <coldboot|home> I've been using Linux for 10 years and nobody's ever fixed this stupidity.
[05:27] <actionParsnip> coldboot|home: when you run it, it should run in the ntification area afaik
[05:27] <actionParsnip> coldboot|home: you may have to manually make a startup item to run it
[05:27] <abuayyoub> undecim, this is great, how can I get this to stay as default on my panel? I tried adding as a custom application lanucher but it dosent work like it hsould.
[05:28] <coldboot|home> actionParsnip: Doesn't work, probably a problem with Alsa as my volume control and volume settings didn't work before, either.
[05:28] <undecim> abuayyoub: Add it to your startup applications
[05:28] <abuayyoub> undecim, thanks man you're awesome.
[05:28] <schultza> bastidrazor, what is the speed, that's not coming up on mine...
[05:28] <undecim> coldboot|home: actionParsnip 10.04 sounds controls look for Pulse. They won't work with Alsa alone
[05:28] <Gods-WilL> Hello?
[05:29] <Gods-WilL> >.>
[05:29] <undecim> coldboot|home: If you have AWN, you can add the volume applet there.
[05:29] <coldboot|home> I always uninstall Pulse because it's broken. It makes my speakers pop constantly, I have no idea why they keep force installing it every now and then.
[05:29] <coldboot|home> undecim: I don't use whatever AWN is.
[05:29] <greezmunkey> well anyway ikonia, thanks for your help :)
[05:29] <Gods-WilL> Can I get help :o
[05:29] <coldboot|home> Pulse didn't even used to work at all.

[05:31] <actionParsnip> undecim: i see, ive never had a sound issue in all my years of linux so this is all alien to me, the default sound system in each distro has always worked perfectly as I use super compatible cards and especially avoid crappy creative things

[05:32] <undecim> Gods-WilL: What exactly do you need help with?
[05:32] <actionParsnip> coldboot|home: why isn't what there?

[05:32] <schultza> IdeAlEss, what does "cat /etc/issue" say?
[05:32] <coldboot|home> actionParsnip: If the stupid indicator applet thing isn't going to automatically populate a volume control, they should stick with gnome-volume-control-applet.
[05:32] <bastidrazor> schultza: oh, it is how fast your connected.. 54MB/s .. you'll need to tweak it to make it work for you. the variables page has a list of things you can choose from.
[05:32] <coldboot|home> IdleOne: I'll try to save the children.
[05:33] <undecim> coldboot|home: Wait, gnome-volume-control-applet worked for you with Alsa?
[05:33] <IdleOne> coldboot|home: thank you
[05:33] <actionParsnip> coldboot|home: i guess, i've never had it vanish personally but i dont mess with my sound subsystems at all

[05:39] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Can you explain what you mean by "i have unetbootin on my grub list" ?
[05:39] <mixxit> unetbootin setup grub on my windows bootloader
[05:40] <mixxit> and it goes to instlal but cant find an ext partition to use
[05:40] <mixxit> so wondered how i could make from within win32?
[05:40] <abuayyoub> IdleOne, abstrakt, lol I will try but My arabic isn't good enough to help him with some deep technical questions any other place I can send him?
[05:40] <Claudiomf1> Alguem pode ajudar?

[05:41] <Claudiomf1> oi
[05:41] <mixxit> that's a prob there is no cd drive or usb boot from bios!
[05:41] <xangua> !pt | Claudiomf1
[05:41] <undecim> mixxit: Unless you have two hard drives, because the installer refuses to install to the same disk it's running from.
[05:41] <actionParsnip> mixxit: you can get floppy images to boot usb devices on pendrivelinux
[05:42] <mixxit> i have no floppy disks!
[05:42] <actionParsnip> grab some then
[05:42] <mixxit> it's a laptop and i have no small lappies hard disk either
[05:42] <mixxit> that's impossible for me
[05:42] <Claudiomf1> ok..
[05:42] <undecim> mixxit: Do you have any kind of external media you can boot? Maybe a network boot, if you have a server you can use
[05:42] <mixxit> can i make a partition from grub?
[05:43] <undecim> mixxit: no, grub won't do that AFAIK
[05:43] <schultza> IdeAlEss, DEBUG metapkg 'ubuntu-desktop' installed but markedDelete. Sounds like you uninstalled ubuntu and installed xubuntu... is this correct?
[05:43] <abuayyoub> IdleOne,  I would like to help him, Arab countries have something like 99,95% Windows usage so it's nice to help them
[05:43] <coldboot|home> gnome-volume-control-applet does not work with Alsa alone...
[05:43] <undecim> mixxit: Do you have another computer that you can put your hard drive in?
[05:43] <skimat> how do i explore computers on the lan
[05:43] <coldboot|home> So I reinstalled pulse, maybe it won't be crap some day.
[05:43] <mixxit> that is a very good point undecim
[05:43] <ejv> skimat: nmap
[05:43] <mixxit> i have another lappy i could probably boot from usb on!
[05:44] <mixxit> thanks!
[05:44] <IdeAlEss> schultza, I installed xubuntu a while back, but have since switched back to ubuntu.  I check the gnome-desktop file in the package-manager and it is not marked for deletion there.
[05:44] <abuayyoub> Anyone here have any ideas about  Suspend/Hibernate problems with laptops??
[05:44] <schultza> IdeAlEss, have you done a normal update right before the dist-update?
[05:44] <julian_> I'm so psyched.  I installed ubuntu successfully on my mac!  I'm unable to install nethack though.
[05:44] <actionParsnip> mixxit: you could take out the drive, put it in another PC, install  to it then transfer the install back to the original system
[05:45] <ejv> my ubuntu laptop crashes from time to time, awesome QA ubuntu devs!
[05:45] <ejv> </3
[05:45] <IdeAlEss> schultza, I am finishing it right now.  But yes, I have done many normal updates over the last week.  I use FF nightlies.
[05:46] <actionParsnip> ejv: whats QA?
[05:46] <tripelb> Here's my problem: computer keeps freezing. Then, the horror, it did it while booted to the livecd. I ran memtest. Came back 5 hours later to find it frozen again. Results: 2 errors, walltime under an hour. I copied down everything on the screen. Can anyone help me? Is this computer for the trashheap?
[05:47] <schultza> how are you doing the dist-update?
[05:47] <onetinsoldier> hello all. not long ago i had something very bad happen that caused me to have to reinstall Ubuntu. though it might have been something i did wrong. wel, now, i've done it again, but this time i know how to reproduce the problem. seems like a serious bug to me. atm, i'm looking at having to reinstall. it'll take a bit to explain
[05:47] <onetinsoldier> though = thought*
[05:47] <ejv> actionParsnip: quality assurance
[05:47] <schultza> IdeAlEss, how are you doing the dist-update?
[05:48] <actionParsnip> ejv: i suggest you read your EULA
[05:48] <mint> hello can someone help me install clearlooks theme... i have downloaded it but it doesnt seem to install correctly
[05:48] <IdeAlEss> schultza, through the update manager.
[05:48] <ejv> who has time for that actionParsnip ?
[05:48] <ejv> -_-
[05:48] <actionParsnip> ejv: it will make what you are saying be clearly moot
[05:49] <actionParsnip> ejv: and if you don't like it, don't use it
[05:49] <ejv> im just grumpy, i was working on something, then ZAP! crash... *facepalm*
[05:49] <ejv> oh i like it, but if this is LTS stability... then... *cringe*
[05:49] <schultza> IdeAlEss, after the update. I want you to go back through Software Sources. Click Other Software and disable all those. then try the following command in terminal. > gksudo "update-manager -c"
[05:49] <bluelf> is there a virtual keyboard on ubuntu
[05:50] <actionParsnip> ejv: if karmic was ok then use that, its supported well into next year
[05:50] <onetinsoldier> this is not easy for me to explain. i had to reinstall the other day. thought it might have been something i did wrong, but i believe i just reproduced the bug and don't feel it was my fault. i can't log into gdm, just like the other day. i will attempt to explain
[05:50] <Gump> anyone having problems with fglrx after the update to 10.04?
[05:50] <abuayyoub> Anyone here have any ideas about  Suspend/Hibernate problems with laptops??
[05:50] <schultza> IdeAlEss, when i mean disable, i mean uncheck.
[05:50] <ejv> dont do it abuayyoub ;)
[05:50] <actionParsnip> bluelf: sure, theres one as part of the default install. try: dpkg -l | grep keyboard
[05:50] <undecim> abuayyoub: What is your problem?
[05:51] <IdeAlEss> schultza, I have already disable the other software sources.  I also just used the package manager to "reinstall" gnome-desktop.  As I was typing this the update calculation just completed
[05:51] <IdeAlEss> schultza, it looks like the mare for re-installation and applying it solved whatever bit had gotten flipped.
[05:52] <abuayyoub> undecim, whenever I try to use suspend of hibernate the compute never wakes up. Sometimes it works but it takes a good 10 minutes to recover. Othertimes It just locks up and I have to hard reboot.
[05:52] <schultza> IdeAlEss, hang on. I just found an old bug with both ubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop installed at the same time causing this. You said you were no longer using xubuntu-desktop. If no one else on that computer is using xubuntu-desktop. Uninstall that first and then try again.
[05:52] <Gump> ever since i updated to 10.04LTS, my graphics card driver stopped working. it won't install and it won't install. seems to be a problem with dpkg
[05:52] <IdeAlEss> schultza, will do.  That was next on my list.  Thanks for the help!!!
[05:52] <Gump> is there any way i can completely reinstall dpkg?
[05:52] <undecim> abuayyoub: Did you take a look at the system logs to see if there is anything of interest?
[05:52] <schultza> IdeAlEss, good luck with the update... but keep in mind to uninstall xubuntu-desktop next time around
[05:52] <mixxit> sigh
[05:53] <mixxit> a thousand screws later and the disk is sata
[05:53] <mixxit> not ide
[05:53] <IdeAlEss> schultza, I will.  thanks!
[05:53] <mixxit> so this wont work!
[05:53] <Jordan_U> tripelb: If it's always getting errors in the same spots, and not getting worse, you can tell the kernel not to use those blocks of memory with badram
[05:53] <schultza> IdeAlEss, you're welcome.
[05:53] <abuayyoub> undecim, no, i didn't. How would I go about doing that?
[05:53] <Salvad1> Hello. Do all deb packages installs/uninstalls get logged?
[05:53] <onetinsoldier> I log out of x-windows. then, if you wait long enough, you here the little drum roll sound at the gdm screen. well, i didn't wait long enough before switching to a vt. there were errors on the vt concerning sound. now, i can't type but a few chars into the gdm password dialog box before it disappears. can't get in. this is the second time this has happened and causes me to have to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch
[05:53] <onetinsoldier> even after rebooting
[05:53] <Gump> trying to install fglrx, i get this error: "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx_2%3a8.723.1-0ubuntu3_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1"
[05:54] <bluelf> actionParsnip, where do i find it??
[05:54] <undecim> abuayyoub: run "tail -n 15 /var/log/syslog.1" after suspend/hibernate.
[05:54] <onetinsoldier> the error messages are logged in my /var/log/syslog file
[05:54] <actionParsnip> bluelf: run the command and you will get a package name, run that in an alt+f2 dialogue and it will run
[05:54] <bluelf> actionParsnip, tried it not working
[05:55] <undecim> mixxit: well, if memory serves me well, laptop sata drives and desktop sata drives have the same connectors. If you have a desktop with sata, that might work
[05:55] <BooVeMan> mixxit: wubi ?
[05:55] <mixxit> it's the other way around
[05:55] <mixxit> im installing to an ide
[05:55] <mixxit> its an old laptop
[05:55] <Gump> if i go into the diversions file and delete all entries related to fglrx, and then try to install it, it returns error exit status 2
[05:55] <tripelb> Jordan_U: so I should do the memtest again then? It got 2 errors in different spots. I heard the memtest should run for hours.
[05:55] <mixxit> tried wubi but not enough memory to do the intall boove
[05:56] <mixxit> need to create an ext partition from windows or grub somehow
[05:56] <BooVeMan> mixxit: have you tried using wubi ?
[05:56] <mixxit> or tell grub to boot from a fat partition
[05:56] <actionParsnip> !info onboard | bluelf

[05:56] <mixxit> sure do
[05:56] <BooVeMan> mixxit: sohow much memory has it in the first place?
[05:56] <undecim> mixxit: can you make a bootable USB on another computer?
[05:56] <mixxit> 128!
[05:56] <Salvad1> Thank You.
[05:56] <Loshki> tripelb: I like to run memtest overnight. If you bought the ram separately, it often comes with a lifetime warranty...
[05:57] <IdleOne> Gump: I am sure someone else has. ask your next question, the one you really need answered :)
[05:57] <abuayyoub> undecim, http://paste.ubuntu.com/439202/
[05:57] <mutk> Loshki, I always wonder who's lifetime they are talking about there..
[05:57] <Loshki> mutk: no kidding :-)
[05:57] <bluelf> actionParsnip, hey i got it but it doesnot has a scroll lock which is why i require a virtual keyboard as my keyboard doesnot have a scroll lock and i need it for a appllication
[05:58] <BooVeMan> mixxit: when you have a grub there - is that a grub or a grub2?
[05:58] <Gump> IdleOne: i already have. today, yesterday, the day before that. no one seems to know
[05:58] <mixxit> i have no clue i think its grub
[05:58] <undecim> abuayyoub: That was a successful resume, assume?
[05:58] <actionParsnip> !info boa | bluelf
[05:58] <mutk> Loshki, Like 'Soorry my dog died last week so we cannot honour that warranty'
[05:58] <Gump> well...no one answers anyway
[05:58] <actionParsnip> oops
[05:58] <mutk> Loshki, Anyway, back on topic..
[05:58] <IdleOne> Gump: ok. ask it again. be patient and you can search the ubuntu forums also while you wait
[05:59] <actionParsnip> !info gok | bluelf
[05:59] <abuayyoub> undecim, yes. an unsuccessful one I couldn;t get a report for because I have to hard reboot
[05:59] <Gump> i have been, but ok, thanks
[05:59] <BooVeMan> mixxit: you are aware that you may mount a iso disk image using grub - so the gparted live disk may be mountable
[05:59] <mixxit> an iso disk on a fat drive?
[05:59] <mixxit> partition*
[05:59] <undecim> abuayyoub: Run that command after a hard reboot. The .1 should be one boot behind
[06:00] <undecim> BooVeMan: mixxit: Grub can mount isos, but not boot them.
[06:00] <undecim> mixxit: If you have grub on the disk, you can just make a bootable usb and chainload it from grub.
[06:00] <maelaian> Towel Day in 2 hours!
[06:00] <mixxit> i have a bootable usb right here
[06:00] <hter> me oo
[06:00] <mixxit> lemme fire it up
[06:01] <BooVeMan> undecim: that depends if its some version of grub4dos it can at least chainload the mounted disk
[06:01] <Problem> Well, the ICEauthority error only occurs on this computer. If I take my flash drive to my netbook, there is no error and I can run this OS perfectly.
[06:01] <undecim> BooVeMan: True, but even then, the iso has to be unfragmented on disk.
[06:01] <mixxit> ok usb disk is in and im in grub console
[06:02] <Gump> fglrx-amdcccle is showing up in my package manager as a broken package. when i try to uninstall/reinstall/update it, i get this message: "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx_2%3a8.723.1-0ubuntu3_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1". any suggestions on what to try next?
[06:02] <undecim> mixxit: Do you know which version of grub this is? how did it get installed?
[06:03] <mixxit> grub verison 0.95
[06:03] <mixxit> i used the win grub gui tool
[06:03] <mixxit> it installed it to boot.ini
[06:03] <undecim> mixxit: okay, was the USB in when you first turned on the computer? if not, reboot.
[06:04] <Gump> also, unrelated issue as no one seems to know about the other. ever since i updated to ubuntu 10.04, my windows vista install on a different partition on the same disk will no longer boot. it just goes from GRUB to a black screen with a blinking white cursor and stays there
[06:04] <mixxit> ok booted again usb was in from the start
[06:04] <tucemiux> Gump, update grub
[06:04] <Gump> tucemiux: how?
[06:05] <tucemiux> Gump, sudo update-grub
[06:05] <Gump> thanks! i will try it
[06:05] <undecim> mixxit: Alight... been a while since I used Grub 0, but I think "ls" will list drives
[06:05] <Loshki> Gump: sounds like you should consider downgrading....
[06:05] <mixxit> unrecognised command
[06:05] <undecim> mixxit: brb, google
[06:05] <onetinsoldier> even after rebooting
[06:06] <Gump> Loshki: downgrading back to the old version of ubuntu?
[06:06] <undecim> mixxit: Does pressing tab twice do anything?
[06:06] <Loshki> Gump: yup, the one that worked for you...
[06:06] <mixxit> when i press it once i get a list of commands
[06:06] <mixxit> same twice
[06:06] <bluelf> actionParsnip,thanks,   installing gok
[06:06] <Gump> i might do that. how would i go about downgrading?
[06:06] <onetinsoldier> I log out of x-windows. then, if you wait long enough, you here the little drum roll sound at the gdm screen. well, i didn't wait long enough before switching to a vt. there were errors on the vt concerning sound. now, i can't type but a few chars into the gdm password dialog box before it disappears. can't get in. this is the second time this has happened and causes me to have to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch
[06:06] <Loshki> mixxit: grub1: isn't it something like find /boot/grub/stage1
[06:07] <onetinsoldier> Preparing pcm playback
[06:07] <mixxit> returned (hd0,0)
[06:07] <mixxit> not listing my usb i see
[06:07] <Loshki> Gump: if you didn't make a backup before your upgrade, then the best you can do is install an earlier version from scratch...
[06:07] <undecim> mixxit: try find /syslinux
[06:07] <actionParsnip> bluelf: try: apt-cache search board | grep screen      should give a few options
[06:07] <Loshki> mixxit: that would be a (the) problem...
[06:07] <mixxit> file not found
[06:07] <WXZ> is there a way to change the tomboy icon on the panel
[06:07] <undecim> mixxit: Or any file you know is on the thumb drive.
[06:07] <WXZ> there's no "properties" option for it
[06:08] <Gump> Loshki: ok, thanks. i'm gonna try and salvage this first, but i guess i mgiht have to do that
[06:08] <mixxit> ubninit i think
[06:08] <onetinsoldier> hmmm, not used to irssi here
[06:08] <mixxit> file not found
[06:08] <Loshki> mixxit: are you sure your mobo supports boot from usb?
[06:08] <mixxit> no it definately doesnt
[06:09] <undecim> Loshki: mixxit: using grub to chainload should work around that. But now I don't think that the mobo supports reading from USB with the capabilities that grub has
[06:09] <mixxit> could i do something with the one on hd0,0?
[06:09] <undecim> mixxit: Just try "rootnoverify (hd1,0)" and see if that works
[06:09] <mixxit> goes to the next line undec
[06:09] <hiexpo> IdleOne,  - need your help
[06:09] <mixxit> boot?
[06:10] <undecim> mixxit: no, not yet
[06:10] <undecim> mixxit: now "chainloader +1" then "makeactive" then "boot"
[06:10] <undecim> mixxit: And you should start booting the USB. Make sure to choose the install option, not the try, because you probably don't have enough ram without a swap partition
[06:11] <IdleOne> hiexpo: with?
[06:11] <mixxit> my screen just went black
[06:11] <mixxit> eek
[06:11] <undecim> mixxit: Doh... I think I just gave you bad instructions... that rootnoverify line should have been (hd1), not (hd1,0).
[06:12] <undecim> reboot and try again
[06:12] <tripelb> Jordan_U: Thanks I'll do it again. How long should it run?
[06:12] <mixxit> its booting but the screen is black
[06:12] <mixxit> oh there we go
[06:12] <undecim> mixxit: If it seems to be loading Ubuntu, then it worked.
[06:12] <undecim> (hd1) is the MBR which I should have said, but (hd1,0) might boot as well
[06:12] <mixxit> when i do chainloader +1 it says the selected disk does not exist
[06:13] <onetinsoldier> I log out of x-windows. then, if you wait long enough, you here the little drum roll sound at the gdm screen. well, i didn't wait long enough before switching to a vt. there were errors on the vt concerning sound. now, i can't type but a few chars into the gdm password dialog box before it disappears. can't get in. this is the second time this has happened and causes me to have to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch
[06:13] <hiexpo> IdleOne,  - awhile back i got suspended from unumtu forumsfor posting a fix for youtube-dl when it was broken and i never understood why because its in the repos so didn't make anysence no i cant log into to some things i need to do there  can you help me fix that or is that outta your league ?
[06:13] <undecim> mixxit: Well, try each of those commands again after running rootnoverify (hd1) and try again.
[06:13] <mixxit> i did it with hd1 this time yep
[06:13] <undecim> mixxit: If that doesn't work, then grub can't read USB on your mobo
[06:13] <mixxit> thats what gave me he messsage
[06:13] <onetinsoldier> ctxfi: Preparing pcm playback failed!!! PLL initilization failed!!!  that's in my syslog, alot of times, a lot. it was on the vt like several times
[06:14] <mixxit> ok can i do something with the one on hd0,0?
[06:14] <mixxit> maybe overwrite the kern/init with something else that will let me create an ext partition?
[06:14] <undecim> mixxit: What's on the first partition of the drive right now?
[06:14] <IdleOne> hiexpo: #ubuntu-forum would be the best place to ask
[06:14] <mixxit> its ubn
[06:14] <mixxit> but when i boot it it comes up with a kernel panic
[06:14] <hiexpo> ok thanks
[06:14] <IdleOne> hiexpo: sorry #ubuntuforums
[06:14] <MeatCurtains> Any of you guys here familiar with Atheros cards?
[06:15] <mixxit> message is
[06:15] <actionParsnip> MeatCurtains: a little, whats your question
[06:15] <undecim> mixxit: Are there any other partitions on the drive?
[06:15] <mixxit> no files system could mount root, tried ext3, ext2, ext4, fuseblk
[06:15] <dipu> hi .. i m planning to install fedora on my machine to dual boot with ubuntu .. any precautions ? hope i can use the same swap space ..
[06:15] <mixxit> kernel panic not syncing: fvs:unable to mount root fos on unknownblock(8,1)
[06:15] <mixxit> no there is space for it though
[06:15] <mixxit> i just need to get to cfdisk or something! :)
[06:16] <brianlions> i want to config the boot menu, but there is no menu.lst in /boot/grub, where is it? i'm on ubuntu 10.04
[06:16] <MeatCurtains> I'm having massive issues holding a wifi connection. It works fine in windows, but as soon as I boot Ubuntu it wont hold the connection but a few minutes and when I connect its less than 1.4kbps
[06:16] <actionParsnip> dipu: nope, just remember to not partition 100% space to leave some space for ubuntu, use custom partitioning on the second install to use the same swap space
[06:16] <IdleOne> !grub2 | brianlions
[06:16] <undecim> so the only partition is one with ubuntu from unetbootin?
[06:16] <mixxit> yeah
[06:16] <mixxit> that is a win32 drive
[06:16] <mixxit> unetbootin installed it to c: for me
[06:17] <mixxit> its ntfs i believe
[06:17] <undecim> Can you still boot to Windows?
[06:17] <mixxit> sure
[06:17] <dipu> actionParsnip, sure .. thanks .. one more question .. what if my ubuntu home is mounted on a separate partition ..can i use the same home for fedora ??
[06:17] <onetinsoldier> dipu: you should be able to use the same swap partition between the two
[06:18] <undecim> mixxit: If you can make another partition, (fat32) install ubuntu on that with unetbootin, I think I can help you.
[06:18] <onetinsoldier> dipu: they should not need separate sawp partitions
[06:18] <onetinsoldier> swap*
[06:18] <mixxit> creating the partition now and will reboot
[06:18] <MeatCurtains> any idea actionParsnip?
[06:18] <dipu> onetinsoldier, ok thanks .. what about home partion
[06:19] <dipu> onetinsoldier,  i mean what about the partition mounted as /home in ubuntu .. is it safe to use it for fedora also ?
[06:19] <onetinsoldier> dipu: i wouldn't try that. however. if fedora has anything like ubuntu where it asks you if you want to import a user found on the Ubuntu OS, you could try it
[06:20] <onetinsoldier> dipu: try at your own risk :D
[06:20] <dipu> onetinsoldier, :) .. i will just have a root and swap for fedora
[06:21] <mixxit> alright i have a tiny 500mb fat32 partition (hd0,1)
[06:21] <mixxit> im booting unetbootin now
[06:21] <mixxit> no filesystem could mount root
[06:21] <kuilena> apasih
[06:21] <mixxit> kernel panic again
[06:21] <actionParsnip> dipu: i'd imagine o, i've never done a shared home like that personally but it'd be interesting to try
[06:22] <xs2ubuntu> hello
[06:22] <xs2ubuntu> hye
[06:22] <kuilena> priwe
[06:22] <undecim> mixxit: The fat32 needs to be big enough to install ubuntu with unetbootin
[06:22] <undecim> mixxit: You need to install ubuntu to the fat32 partition and boot it.
[06:22] <mixxit> how can i install ununtu to it
[06:22] <MeatCurtains> Are Atheros cards natively supported under Ubuntu?
[06:22] <mixxit> thats my problem in the first place!
[06:23] <actionParsnip> MeatCurtains: depends which model
[06:23] <dipu> actionParsnip,  its probably risky ...because lot of applications store personal data in ~
[06:23] <undecim> mixxit: With unetbootin
[06:23] <actionParsnip> MeatCurtains: well, which atheros chip
[06:23] <xs2ubuntu> im try to setting my desktop under KDE login but when i click to get  new wallpaper the msg come out is http://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml failed
[06:23] <thunda> I'm looking for some help with Xorg. I recently compiled my own kernel with KernelCheck and am now having display issues. Occasionally, X will crash and I'll have to reboot to get my display back. Also, I can't get my computer to suspend when I close the lid. I have checked LaunchPad and have come across some similar issues but nothing have a fix that works.
[06:23] <xs2ubuntu> somebody here can help me nt??
[06:23] <mixxit> but unetbootin wants an ext3 partition
[06:23] <mixxit> thats what is kernel panicing
[06:24] <actionParsnip> dipu: but technically they are the same app, but slight differences in the way they are compiled may cause breaks / settings corruptions. I'd try it though, it may pay off and save having to have 2 homes ;)
[06:24] <actionParsnip> xs2ubuntu: wassu[p?
[06:24] <undecim> mixxit: No, unetbootin couldn't read the NTFS, and so couldn't find the files that contained the Ubuntu filesystem
[06:24] <MeatCurtains> actionParsnip: Thanks, I'll look in a bit here and see if it needs a driver.
[06:24] <actionParsnip> !hcl | MeatCurtains
[06:24] <mixxit> ohh i see
[06:24] <mixxit> you mean install the installer
[06:24] <mixxit> gotcha im on it
[06:24] <undecim> mixxit: Installing unetbootin to a separate fat32 should let it boot
[06:24] <undecim> mixxit: yes.
[06:24] <actionParsnip> MeatCurtains: theres always ndisgtk if all else fails
[06:25] <anthony> Hi. can anybody say why i don't get headphone output from my new ubuntu 10.4 install?

[06:25] <MeatCurtains> Yeah, I'm just having a bs time. My ethernet port is jacked and all I've got is wifi on it. So I'm going to have to download it all on windows and compile it

[06:33] <P2E> I'm having a really horrible time with getting my laptop's video working. nothing works by default, using vga=771 gets me to a low graphics mode prompt/dialog in x (do you guys use framebuffer for that or what?) which I pick "stay in low graphics mode for this session", then I end up in X at what I think is the highest resolution the videocard (i845) will support. I still can't see stuff, the video is garbled, but I can make my way through the

[06:45] <mixxit> something to do with the usb drives option?
[06:46] <linux> ubuttu i fallowed the tutorial but nothing happen
[06:47] <undecim> mixxit: no. I think it may be unetbootin's fault
[06:48] <hiexpo> IdleOne,  - well i tried in chat and email guess there not gonna give it back  to me so i am still unable to read or post forums // which no posting is ok but i can not even read any so i am going to swich distros i guess kinda a bummer
[06:49] <grevista_br> I'd like to make a statement => see http://current.com/groups/on-current-tv/88952525_gagged-in-brazil.htm
[06:49] <grevista_br> LoL
[06:49] <undecim> mixxit: Did you ever get to the unetbootin boot screen?
[06:49] <mixxit> yeah before
[06:49] <mixxit> when it was on c:
[06:50] <undecim> When you chainloaded (hd0,1)
[06:50] <mixxit> it added it for me
[06:50] <mixxit> to the windows boot.ini
[06:50] <undecim> mixxit: When you chainloaded (hd0,1) you didn't get to a unetbootin screen?
[06:50] <Flannel> grevista_br: Please stay ontopic.  Thanks
[06:51] <mixxit> no that just gave me that message
[06:51] <Remmaze> ive downloaded compiz on my x100e, i cant seem to find the applications on my system-preferences, izzit hidden sumwhere?
[06:51] <actionParsnip> Remmaze: you need to install compizconfig-settings-manager
[06:51] <undecim> mixxit: Okay, time to mess with grub again, I guess.
[06:51] <P2E> am I insane to want to force low graphics mode? I'd really like to be able to use my laptop =]
[06:51] <Remmaze> will do
[06:52] <mixxit> its just looping round saying cant find disk
[06:52] <Remmaze> wats the command line for it?
[06:52] <actionParsnip> P2E: yuo can specify the vesa driver in xorg.conf and it will be used

[06:52] <actionParsnip> Remmaze: new to ubuntu eh. the command is: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[06:52] <P2E> actionParsnip: is vesa what is used to display the dialog that tells me I'm in low graphics mode?

[06:52] <P2E> actionParsnip: or is that just what it uses once I say "yes, stay in low graphics mode"?
[06:52] <mixxit> because of makeactive i think there's no bootloader there?
[06:53] <actionParsnip> P2E: yeah, vesa can run on any hardware

[06:55] <maelaian> Is there a decent c++ ide for linux that supports something like intellisense and basic refactoring?

[06:55] <mixxit> undecim: lol no worries appreciate any help i can get :-)
[06:56] <mixxit> undecim: same message without the makeactive
[06:57] <undecim> mixxit: What happens when you run "root (hd0,1)"?
[06:57] <mixxit> undecim: filesystem is fat, partition type xb
[06:57] <mixxit> undecim: type 0xb rather
[06:58] <mixxit> undecim: if i type boot it says kernel must be loaded before booting
[06:58] <mixxit> undecim: want me to do a find?
[06:58] <undecim> mixxit: yeah, do a find
[06:58] <bobthemilkman> I'm running Cygwin in Windows in VirtualBox in Ubuntu. I want to be able to have cygwin applications connect to the Ubuntu X server.
[06:58] <mixxit> undecim: file not found for /ubnekrn, /syslinux etc
[06:59] <undecim> mixxit: try typeing "kernel (hd0,1)/" and pressing tab
[06:59] <undecim> mixxit: don't press enter on that line
[06:59] <bobthemilkman> I tried "DISPLAY=<IP_ADDRESS>:0.0 xterm" in the cygwin on the guest, and set "xhost +<IP_ADDRESS>" on the host machine, but I get "cannot connect to X server" error.
[06:59] <mixxit> undecim: error 16 file not found
[07:00] <bobthemilkman> I can ping <IP_ADDRESS> from <IP_ADDRESS>, but not vice versa.
[07:00] <actionParsnip> bobthemilkman: if you use xming and putty its a bit simpler
[07:00]  * undecim has an epiphany
[07:00] <bobthemilkman> actionParsnip: That's not what I want.
[07:00] <undecim> mixxit: I just remembered... this is an old mobo...
[07:00] <mixxit> undecim: very :)
[07:01] <undecim> mixxit: it can't read far into the drive at this point...
[07:01] <bryan__> hello
[07:01] <undecim> *sigh* the plot thickens... *dun*dun*dun*
[07:01] <maelaian> Does anyone know where to obtain the code::blocks nightly build deb's? I only see them offering windows releases.
[07:01] <actionParsnip> bobthemilkman: so you dont want to pull the x apps from the ubuntu host into the windows guest?
[07:01] <mixxit> lol! :)
[07:01] <webPragmatist> if you guys were trying to create a ha web cluster what would you do/
[07:01] <onetinsoldier> bobthemilkman: do you know if <IP_ADDRESS> is running a firewall? that firewall might be blocking ICMP packets. otherwise, i don't know
[07:01] <webPragmatist> right now we are looking at two dedicated boxes
[07:01] <undecim> mixxit: Alright, I have to look a few things up...
[07:01] <bobthemilkman> actionParsnip: No. I want to run x apps on the windows guest and show up on the ubuntu host.
[07:02] <lasty> !
[07:02] <actionParsnip> bobthemilkman: oh like seamles virtualbox them?
[07:02] <actionParsnip> *seamless
[07:02] <mixxit> undecim: since it gets the furthest booting from c: unetboot/ubuntu maybe we could do something with that?
[07:02] <onetinsoldier> bobthemilkman: i suggest you install 'iptraf' and run it on both machines and watch it, while doing the pings of course
[07:02] <bobthemilkman> The idea is that I need to test windows capability through cygwin, and it seems silly to use multiple X servers on the same machine.
[07:02] <mixxit> undecim: some sort of rescue kern/init?
[07:04] <bobthemilkman> Well he just left before I could ask any more questions. :(
[07:04] <BooVeMan> maxxist: you may look into plop bootmanager to get your usb key to boot http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html
[07:04] <undecim> mixxit: You were never able to boot the unetbootin from boot.ini, correct? What error did you get?
[07:04] <mixxit> kernel panic about missing ext3/ etc i guessed it was looking for somewhere to install to
[07:04] <P2E> root: irc'ing as root is a bad idea...do it as a user if you can
[07:05] <actionParsnip> bobthemilkman: windows doesn't have X by the way, but i know what you mean. If you press host + L (or use the menu item) it will go seamless and the windows taskbar will appear next to your gnome bars and the box will run without being constrained to a virtual windowed desktop
[07:06] <mixxit> undecim: ok i just booted from boot.ini with unetbootin testing it with one of the debian images and it says: 'filesystem type is ntfs partition type 0x7' 'kernel /unetbtin/ubnkern' 'error 13: invalid or unsupported executable format'
[07:06] <mixxit> undecim: i installed this to c:
[07:07] <bobthemilkman> actionParsnip: Did you miss the step where I said I'm using cygwin?
[07:07] <mixxit> undecim: trying another image now
[07:07] <bobthemilkman> I think this might just be a problem relating to the networking of virtualbox.
[07:07] <bluelf> how can i configure conky
[07:08] <actionParsnip> bobthemilkman: probably
[07:09] <mixxit> undecim: damn small linux on c: gives me 'bootnig unetbootin' 'find --set-root /unetbtin/ubnkern' 'error 15; file not found'
[07:09] <bluelf> i installed conky using ubuntu software center now how can i configure it
[07:11] <bluelf> i cant find .conky in home folder
[07:11] <crocket> What command line irc clients do you guys recommend to me?
[07:11] <actionParsnip> bluelf: you need to make one, or find one online
[07:11] <undecim> mixxit: Okay, here's what you have to do...
[07:11] <crocket> bitchX is not included in ubuntu repository.
[07:11] <mixxit> undecim: in windows with unetbootin window up and waiting ! :)
[07:11] <Gnea> crocket: irssi
[07:11] <crocket> It's either ircii, epic, or irssi
[07:12] <undecim> mixxit: You will need a separate partition to hold the kernel and initrd.
[07:12] <lint> irssi is awesome.
[07:12] <undecim> mixxit: This partition needs to be at the beginning of the drive.
[07:12] <mixxit> undecim: i can only create windows ones
[07:12] <mixxit> undecim: ah :-)
[07:12] <hiexpo> busy night
[07:12] <undecim> mixxit: And it has to be a very small fat32
[07:12] <crocket> Gnea, What's the reason irssi is preferred to ircii, epic, or bitchx?
[07:12] <mixxit> undecim: so i need to reinstall windows?
[07:13] <undecim> mixxit: You shouldn't have to.
[07:13] <undecim> mixxit: What version of Windows do you have?
[07:13] <mixxit> undecim: its xp
[07:13] <Gnea> crocket: it's currently maintained, has less bugs, works better with modern irc servers and is more secure
[07:13] <Stranger-2> how to add submenu to the application menu
[07:13] <crocket> Gnea, It's well maintained.
[07:13] <Gnea> crocket: and *currently*.
[07:14] <Gnea> ircii hasn't had a release since 2008
[07:14] <undecim> mixxit: See if you can resize your XP partition from XP... If not, you will need something like Partition Wizard
[07:14] <mixxit> undef: does it run in windows?
[07:14] <undecim> mixxit: Partition wizard will let you make the partition in windows
[07:14] <crocket> Gnea, So is epic5
[07:15] <Stranger-2> how to add submenu to the application menu
[07:15] <undecim> mixxit: It will let you resize the Windows partition without external media
[07:15] <Stranger-2> anybody knows ?
[07:15] <mixxit> undecim: even though its the system partition?
[07:15] <hiexpo> hmm
[07:15] <undecim> mixxit: Yup
[07:15] <actionParsnip> Stranger-2: use alacarte
[07:16] <Gnea> crocket: irsii just plain works and has a lot of scripting built-in, you hardly have to rely on any external script anymore
[07:16] <Stranger-2> actionParsnip, command line config files please
[07:16] <linux> mixxit, what is ur problem exactly i thing i know something about it
[07:16] <crocket> Gnea, I narrowed my options to between irssi and epic
[07:16] <mixxit> i want to install linux on an old pc with no usb boot or cd and only windows to work from
[07:16] <actionParsnip> Stranger-2: not sure, sorry Yuo could create the folder then analyse the system after then create commands to create that end
[07:17] <mixxit> i used unetbootn and it got so far but it needed an ext2/3 partition and none could be created from windows
[07:17] <Stranger-2> sure
[07:17] <Gnea> crocket: epic works, but many of its themes have been abandoned. many servers, like the freenode servers, have had code upgrades that have been known to confuse epic. irssi handles it.
[07:17] <Gnea> crocket: I would say, try both and see which one you like best
[07:18] <crocket> Gnea, what are themes?
[07:18] <linux> ok
[07:18] <Gnea> crocket: they change the way the client looks, like instead of having a solid blue-bar, it could be a different color, along with other color changes
[07:18] <Gnea> crocket: some add various functionality extensions
[07:19] <crocket> Gnea, I didn't think I ever had themes in CL irc clients.
[07:19] <P2E> actionParsnip: I can't seem to force vesa video. it does it once but fails on try two
[07:20] <mixxit> undecim: how small?
[07:20] <undecim> mixxit: I'm trying to find that out right now...
[07:21] <undecim> mixxit: All I know is that old mobos can only read so far into the drive until they're at a certain mode.
[07:21] <mixxit> undecim: wait a minute..... this can create ext3!
[07:21] <Gnea> crocket: o.O oh wow, well they made them for ircii and epic (the epic themes were pretty nice) and they've made some for irssi, but like I said, they're pretty useless for irssi
[07:21] <undecim> mixxit: No, it has to be fat32 for unetbootin
[07:21] <mixxit> undecim: but the kernel panic message said ext3
[07:21] <Gods-WilL> Yea, I made taht mistake with the FAT32 XD
[07:22] <crocket> Gnea, do you mean irssi people don't have their own themes?
[07:22] <BooVeMan> mixxit: 1 question - do you want to keep windows?
[07:22] <undecim> It's looking for the ext3 that is on a file within the fat32 that unetbootin installs to
[07:22] <mixxit> not really but if i lose it we are screwed
[07:22] <mixxit> we/i
[07:22] <Gnea> crocket: they do, and you can use them, but irssi is more about feasibility and functionality
[07:22] <undecim> mixxit: unetbootin will only read fat32, but it puts an ext3 in there in a file that Ubuntu can read
[07:22] <crocket> Gnea, what are differences between irssi and epic4 and 5?
[07:23] <BooVeMan> maxxist: I thought so as well - I'm in the exact same position - but IF you have a floppy drive - you are all set
[07:23] <Gnea> crocket: can't say for sure, haven't used epic in years
[07:23] <mixxit> undecim: so it wants the c: drive to be fat32?
[07:23] <Gnea> crocket: but in those days, if I wanted things like autologin to services and such, I needed a script to do it. irssi has that sort of stuff built-in.
[07:23] <crocket> ok
[07:24] <undecim> mixxit: The first partition on the drive won't necessarily be the C: drive. It has to be the first partition on the drive, must be fat32, and lets make it 16 MB
[07:24] <undecim> mixxit: I'm not sure how far the mobo can read early on in the boot process,but 16 I think should work
[07:25] <mixxit> undecim: ok making now
[07:25] <BooVeMan> mixxit: what I did is - grab an old floppy - but the plop boot manager onit and made this thing boot my flash - worked like a charm - now its installing aa netboot kubuntu :-)
[07:25] <undecim> mixxit: Ahh... I just found a number. It should be able to read up to 512 MB... 16 is fine, it will hold the kernel and initrd.
[07:26] <mixxit> undecim: minimum size is 33
[07:27] <mixxit> BooVeMan: i wish i had a floppy :P
[07:27] <undecim> brb
[07:27] <BooVeMan> mixxit: so you have a floppy drive but no floppy?
[07:27] <mixxit> undecim: wont let me move it to the front of the drive
[07:28] <BooVeMan> mixxit: HA you don't need a floppy: http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html#noinstall
[07:29] <BooVeMan> this should you enable to boot form your flash and repartition/reinstall you disk
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> Yo yo yo
[07:30] <Ileden> Hi!
[07:31] <Kine> Hello guys, I got an Nvidia 8800 GTS card and the driver version i use is (195.36.15) Nvidia released a new version (256.25, in 21 may) What is the easiest way to upgrade? my hardware driver does not detect the new version
[07:31] <Ileden> My computer is having weird slowdown issues after upgrading to lucid. Can someone help me troubleshoot the issue?
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> Kine: you may get it with the nvidia vdpau ppa. They keep up pretty well
[07:32] <Kine> ActionParsnip: could you please help me set this up?
[07:32] <undecim> mixxit: You will need to move the XP partition first, then create the partition at the beginning.
[07:32] <lasty> :-D
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> Kine: there are guides all over the web dude. I have even advised it on the ubuntu questions forum
[07:33] <mixxit> undecim: move it before i create the mini?
[07:33] <undecim> mixxit: yes
[07:33] <Ileden> The problem might have something to do with the display adapter (Radeon 9200), Ive tried both the "radeon" and "ati" drivers, and while "radeon" seems to work a bit better, the problem persists...
[07:33] <mixxit> undecim: k
[07:33] <Kine> ActionParsnip, im sorry to bother, thanks anyway ill look it up :)
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: if you use proprietary drivers you may want to uninstall then reinstall them with a reboot in between
[07:34] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: not using proprietary drivers. i think. At least I haven't installed them from administration->hardware drivers.
[07:34] <mixxit> undecim: it's doing the move now, going to grab a coffee :)
[07:34] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: I switched only between "radeon" and "ati" by editing xorg.conf
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> Kine: normally I would but getting that sort of stuff whilst ircing on my phone will take longer than you can find a guide
[07:34] <undecim> mixxit: k
[07:35] <karrot> is there some easy way to make a new $PATH directory?
[07:35] <Kine> ActionParsnip, I understand
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: hmm, they are the open drivers so should be ok. You could try reinstalling the package they come from
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: i'd also check for bugs relating to the ati chip you are using
[07:36] <undecim> karrot: If you only need it while in the command line, you can add it to .bashrc
[07:36] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: ok, how do I do a reinstall without losing my video in between? :)
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: you can get the name using: dpkg -l | grep ati | grep server
[07:37] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: I've tried looking at the bugs, might be affected by 568988... however, using the provided PPA to fix didn't help, so maybe not.
[07:37] <karrot> undecim: what exactly do I put in there?
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: you may benefit from: sudo dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:37] <undecim> karrot: I have my ~/.bin folder added to my path by putting this line at the end of .bashrc: PATH="$PATH:~/.bin"
[07:38] <crocket> Gnea, I think irssi is more user friendly than epic5. epic5 doesn't have help file.
[07:38] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: ok, it's "xserver-xorg-video-ati" i gather. Should i try reinstall before the reconfigure of xserver-xorg?
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: yeah reinstall it then run the command. Might make things nice
[07:39] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: oh, btw, i should mention the slowdown appears only after I've used the system for a while, which is weird. tried looking at memory consumption of applications to find a mem leak, but seems ok to me, lots of free memory.
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> Crocket: irssi + guake = win
[07:40] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: I'll try doing those, thanks!
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: as soon as the slow down happens, run; dmesg | tail -n 20 ,see if you get any clues
[07:40] <gustygoo> Hi, I have a problem of the monitor turning off during use on 10.04
[07:40] <mixxit> ok thats setup
[07:41] <mixxit> undecim: install to E:?
[07:41] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: ok.
[07:41] <undecim> mixxit: no
[07:41] <gustygoo> I've turned off monitor sleep and screensaver to not effect. Any help would be appreciated
[07:41] <undecim> mixxit: Copy the kernel and initrd to the new partition
[07:41] <mixxit> undecim: okies
[07:42] <undecim> mixxit: 1 sec, let me look at the syslinux config on my drive that has unetbootin on it...
[07:42] <Stranger-2> 1 sec is over
[07:42] <sathyaphoenix> any one configured dual monitor with nvidia-glx ... the monitors are with diff resolution and i have problem .. #lucid
[07:43] <mixxit> undecim: okies ubninit and ubnkern are waiting on e:
[07:43] <undecim> errr... crud...
[07:44] <eveningsky> how do I make totem not try to stay on top of everything?
[07:44] <undecim> mixxit: Alright, load the grub command line again.
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> Eveninsky: if you read the manpage, is there an option for it to start minimised?
[07:45] <undecim> mixxit: Which Ubuntu version is this?
[07:45] <mixxit> 10.4
[07:45] <undecim> mixxit: Which edition I mean? Desktop, server, mini, or alternate
[07:45] <undecim> mixxit: or netbook
[07:45] <mixxit> netinst
[07:46] <mixxit> is the name in unet anyhoo
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: you could even go as far as to use alltray to keep it out of the way
[07:47] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip. No I mean that when there is a video playing it wants to be always on top.  I want it to keep playing but move to the background like any other window would.
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: oh I see
[07:47] <undecim> mixxit: k, let me grab that iso and look at the syslinux config then
[07:47] <crocket> ActionParsnip, how can I switch between joined channels in irssi?
[07:48] <mixxit> i dont see a syslinux for it
[07:48] <gustygoo> so does anyone have pointers on how to debug my lcd on my laptop, losing signal during use? I've looked at the powersave and suspend logs, which seem normal
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: there may be an option / pref in totem to always be on top (which is also what SHE said)
[07:48] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, it's probably in the manpage too, but I haven't found it yet.
[07:48] <mixxit> just ubnldr.exe and ubnldr.mbr
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: let me dig
[07:48] <undecim> mixxit: hmmm... maybe it's just kernel and initrd... I'll see.
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: seems its a plugin enabled by default
[07:49] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, I could have sworn I saw it in the preferences a couple of installs of Ubuntu Studio ago, but I don't see it there now.
[07:49] <mixxit> undecim: want me to try grub while you do that?
[07:49] <undecim> sure
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=596846
[07:50] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, sweet. I found it in plugins.
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: cha-ching!
[07:50] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, That's why I thought I saw it, because I was messing with plugins.
[07:50] <duytruong> hello
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> Np man, glad you got the gold
[07:51] <duytruong> hi
[07:51] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, :)
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> !hi | duytruong
[07:52] <mixxit> well it found it in find this time!
[07:52] <duytruong> I spent Jolicloud's XChat, but you ?
[07:52] <mixxit> undecim: well it found it in find this time! but message: 'invalid or unsupported executbale format' when i kernel=/
[07:53] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, That's one of the problems with running a geek operating systems. In a commercial OS, once the plugin was installed it would almost certainly appear in the obvious location of preferences.
[07:53] <eveningsky> thanks for pointing it out
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: its not a geek OS. Its just different to what you have used for so many years before
[07:53] <undecim> mixxit: Okay, this will be easy...
[07:54] <undecim> mixxit: In grub, you need to type "root (hd0,0)"
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: for me its obvious but I've used linux a while now
[07:54] <mixxit> undecim: did that already!
[07:54] <undecim> mixxit: then "kernel /ubnkern"
[07:54] <duytruong> Funny, seeing me coming from Vietnam, is very pleased to know
[07:54] <undecim> mixxit: then "initrd /ubninit"
[07:54] <undecim> mixxit: then boot
[07:55] <mixxit> undecim: can't get past the kernel and wont let me init without the kernel
[07:55] <undecim> mixxit: what's it say on the kernel?
[07:55] <mixxit> undecim: 'invalid or unsupported executbale format'
[07:56] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, no it's a geek OS. I finally made the switch about 3 months ago, and if I wasn't a geek I would have given up on it after 2 weeks. The cool thing is you get to tweak everything. The problem is you MUST tweak nearly EVERYTHING.
[07:56] <duytruong> I want to ask, every time updates are not on the Ubuntu machine (specifically Ubuntu 9.10) ?
[07:56] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, It's not geek on par with some other linux versions, but you still gotta be a geek to really love it.
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: my 80 year old grandad uses 100% stock settings and uses ethernet for web access and reuires no tweaking
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: it just depends on how tweaky you are
[07:57] <undecim> mixxit: okay, well I didn't realize before that you were using such a small iso... You should be able to use unetbootin on E:
[07:58] <mixxit> undecim: use the installer yeah?
[07:59] <undecim> mixxit:
[07:59] <undecim> mixxit: yeah
[07:59] <mixxit> okies
[07:59] <Docteh> eveningsky: with the exception of me disabling ureadahead i haven't had to fiddle with ubuntu on my desktop after i installed it
[07:59] <Lazy^> Hello, how i can force mplayer to use VDPAU
[07:59] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, Well cool! That's pretty amazing, but notice he's gotta use ethernet to be able to use stock settings, already a tweak in the making. My grandmother is running on Win98 with a wireless card. Older, crappier system, but at least the wireless just works.
[07:59] <undecim> mixxit: Hmm... from the net install, it loads the kernel and initrd and isn't mounting a drive...
[07:59] <Docteh> Lazy^: it isn't doing it automagically?
[08:00] <undecim> mixxit: Well I'll be damned, mixxit, you've just given me a way to do something I've been trying at for days.
[08:00] <KruyKaze> what tool should i use to create a live usb with autologin?
[08:00] <mixxit> undecim: woo!
[08:00] <Lazy^> Docteh: noup
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: then you are on. About hardware support which is the fault of the hardware companies not making drivers.  I agree.
[08:01] <moetunes> Lazy^: tried   mplayer -vo VDPAU   ?
[08:01] <lasty> guyz anyone could make a sugestion of a motherbord that is compatible with opensource?
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: he uses ethernet because where the modem is and where the pc is are stupidly close so using wifi for the sake of 30cm is ludicrous, plus wired is faster
[08:02] <adnc> hello, one of my accounts at empathy does not work, it gives a network error with msn protokoll. this does not happen to other msn-accounts. deleting and adding the same again doesnt help. has someone got this failure before?
[08:02] <Lazy^> moetunes: if i startup mplayer -vo VDPAU file.mkv i get this error: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: if the hardware manufacturers made the drivers like they did with windows with a handy installer then linux would soar but they won't as they don't get the return in money as yet
[08:03] <mixxit> oh crap
[08:03] <mixxit> hal.dll is missing
[08:03] <moetunes> Lazy^: prob your vid card doesn't support it then?
[08:03] <Lazy^> moetunes: it does support vdpau =)
[08:03] <Lazy^> ion 330
[08:03] <undecim> O.O
[08:03] <mixxit> argh!
[08:04] <Lazy^> moetunes: Karmic 9.10 did work, but now with 10.04 i have problems
[08:04] <mixxit> windows cannot boot because the following file is missing or corrupt
[08:04] <mixxit> drives have switched round maybe?
[08:04] <mixxit> 0,0 become 0,1?
[08:04] <undecim> mixxit: That may have something to do with it
[08:05] <moetunes> Lazy^: maybe the driver for the vid card? - are you using the same driver?
[08:05] <undecim> But it booted fine before, didn't it?
[08:05] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, It's not just hardware though. Microsoft spends millions on market testing to see what kind of interface people want and still screw up a LOT. Gnome has to figure out what people want just from the feedback of those few of us nuts enough to use an operating system with crappy driver support.
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: works flawlessly here but I only buy from companies supporting linux
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: I show my appreciation and hatred with where my wallet lands
[08:07] <mixxit> all i have left is grub!
[08:07] <lasty> it isnt only that companies suprt linux is in fact that some times some parts dont fit together(confilct)
[08:07] <boss_> hi, i'm having a problem changing the display language to english in 9.10 , can anyone help?
[08:08] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, Flawlessly? If you open nautilus with list view, then change the width of the Name field, does it remember the new width the next time you open nautilus?
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: and as for "those few" I suggest you read this: http://www.aaxnet.com/design/linux2.html
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: I don't use nautilus
[08:09] <undecim> while true; do mv forehead wall/; mv wall/forehead ./; done
[08:09] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, See, that's another tweak.
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: the US army use linux, as do google
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: what, using terminal to perform file actions rather than using a mouse. Not a tweak at all
[08:10] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, Do you expect your grandfather to use the terminal for everything?
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: he can and does but does use mouse. I can't vouch for his activities though
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: if you want nautilus to remember the widths if it isn't then log a bug
[08:12] <Ultali> hi, whenever I restart Ubuntu (9.10) I have to manually restart GDM to get my mouse to work in, the problem was there since 8.10 and I hoped it might have bee fixed
[08:12] <Ultali> any ideas?
[08:12] <mixxit> undecim: i think i'm screwed
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> Ultali: is the 9.10 an upgrade or a clean install?
[08:13] <Ultali> ActionParsnip: an upgrade
[08:13] <undecim> mixxit: try something....
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> Mixxit: take out the drive, put it in another pc with cd boot and install to it then move the drive back
[08:13] <naveen519> Hii Guys
[08:13] <undecim> mixxit: in grub, run these commands...
[08:13] <MACscr> hmm, whenever i try to open a zip file, im getting an error saying: "End-of-central-directory signature not found. .......... unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of template.zip or template.zip.zip, and cannot find template.zip.ZIP, period." Even gives that same error when i simply try to open it through the file manager. The error doesnt make to much sense because the filename doesnt include two extensions like its implying no
[08:13] <mixxit> ActionParsnip: it's a laptop small ide one my only other notebook is sata only
[08:14] <undecim> mixxit: "root (hd0,0)"
[08:14] <mixxit> undecim: filesystem is fat, partition type 0xb
[08:14] <undecim> mixxit: "chainloader (hd0,2)+1"
[08:14] <mixxit> undecim: carriage return
[08:14] <undecim> mixxit: makeactive
[08:14] <undecim> mixxit: boot
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> Mixxit: all drives are ide, you mean pata ;). You can get adapters for pence and use the pata controller in a desktop
[08:15] <mixxit> undecim: kernel must be loaded before booting
[08:15] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, This should  probably be offtopic, no?
[08:15] <undecim> mixxit:  you did the chainloader line?
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: true but I'm here to help :)
[08:15] <mixxit> undecim: sure did chainloader(hd0,2)+1
[08:16] <mixxit> undecim: sure did chainloader(hd0,1 <-- should it be 1?
[08:16] <undecim> mixxit: no
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> Mixxit: is there a bios upgrade, it may give usb boot ability
[08:16] <mixxit> ActionParsnip: can i run the upgrade from grub? :P
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> Ultali: do you have an xorg.conf file?
[08:17] <danielsh> is it possible to flush the DNS cache without having root/sudo access?
[08:17] <Docteh> mixxit: usually the bios updaters are dos/windows apps
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> Mixxit: you can use a floppy based utility
[08:17] <danielsh> everything I read says sudo nscd restart
[08:17] <mixxit> ActionParsnip: no floppies and no windows atm
[08:17] <Docteh> danielsh: is nscd actually running?
[08:18] <danielsh> Docteh: yes
[08:18] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, Thank you. The help has been recieved. If you want to continue to argue if Ubuntu is a geeky OS, type my name into offtopic.
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> Mixxit: it may make life easier to borrow one or buy a pack.
[08:18] <Kine> ActionParsnip: I have successfully added ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa to my system but all i get is some HD wallpapers and video codecs ( no driver )
[08:18] <Docteh> could try killing it ;)
[08:18] <danielsh> without having root?
[08:18] <danielsh> it runs as root
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: I'll be here then bed. Just got off a 12 hour shift
[08:18] <Docteh> huh i dont have nscd running on either of my computers
[08:19] <Docteh> danielsh: if you kill it dead you only need to get root access once
[08:19] <Ultali> ActionParsnip: yeah, I am just checking if there is a ServerLayout section since there is a bug report about a similar problem
[08:19] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, too long.
[08:19] <danielsh> Docteh: if I had root I could kill it three different ways.  I do not have root on the machine I'm at right now.
[08:19] <illuminatus> hi, how can I install the spanish spelling review for firefox, in ubuntu 10.04 ?
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> Kine: hmm try: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 ,always works here. The codecs are great :)
[08:19] <Docteh> ah
[08:19] <danielsh> i.e., thanks for the ideas, but they're not applicable to my situation :-(
[08:20] <Docteh> so rebooting and adding init=/bin/bash is probably a nonstarter?
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: yeah another tomorrow then 4 days off though :)
[08:20] <Ultali> ActionParsnip: its looking pretty sparse
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> Ultali: does it have any mousey stuff defined?
[08:20] <danielsh> Docteh: it's easier to just talk to my sysadmin
[08:21] <Docteh> danielsh: you might be able to disable the usage of nscd at a user level somehow, i have no idea how it works though
[08:21] <Kine> ActionParsnip: I need the 256  version and it seems only karmic has this in the ppa i use lucid 64 bit do i just have to wait?
[08:21] <undecim> mixxit: I'm firing up virtualbox right now to have a look at the grub version unetbootin installs and see what options you have.
[08:21] <eveningsky> Any ecryptfs experts in here? I got an encrypted home partition from using Linux Mint that I still can't get into.
[08:21]  * danielsh nods
[08:21] <melrokz> how do i find the libgtkembedmoz library needed by Adobe reader?
[08:21] <illuminatus> re
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> Kine: I guess. Is your performance really bad?
[08:21] <illuminatus> sorry
[08:21] <mixxit> sweet!
[08:22] <illuminatus> hi, how can I install the spanish spelling review for firefox, in ubuntu 10.04 ?
[08:22] <danielsh> Docteh: thanks again
[08:22] <mixxit> need to get around that message about the format
[08:22] <undecim> eveningsky: I'm pretty descent with it.
[08:22] <Docteh> yw
[08:22] <Kine> ActionParsnip: no my performance is great :D its just that the 256 has a VNC fix for the "no screen update bug with gnome"
[08:22] <eveningsky> undecim, cool. I usually just get silence on that one.
[08:22] <Kine> i mean compiz
[08:22] <undecim> eveningsky: If you have the utils installed and have the same password as you did in Mint, you should be able to access it easy
[08:22] <Docteh> melrokz: packages.ubuntu.com sometimes helps for those sort of problems
[08:22] <ubuntunewbie> hi I need help on mounting , is there anyway to change back the name of mount drive?
[08:22] <Docteh> need a full file name though
[08:23] <undecim> mixxit: well, this may take longer than I thought...
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> Kine: I see. Then log a bug and state the new driver fixes it and it may get included faster :)
[08:23] <undecim> mixxit: Apparantly, my XP virtualbox is messed up...
[08:23] <Ultali> ActionParsnip: nope there isnt
[08:23] <maelaian> FFS I spend 3 days getting ubuntu on my old box. Middle of a make -j5 processor shuts down because it overheats. I cant win.
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntunewbie: do you mean the mount point?
[08:24] <Ultali> there isnt any keyboard config either so I'll give that a try
[08:24] <eveningsky> undecim, I have ecryptfs, and whatever installed as a dependency. I'm using the same password. I'm not running Mint anymore.
[08:24] <Kine> ActionParsnip, I think i need more time with linux first I got noe clue over here x)
[08:24] <ubuntunewbie> ActionParsnip : hi , everytime I mount a drive it always show UUID name a long 20 number name
[08:24] <Docteh> maelaian: 5 jobs at once?
[08:24] <maelaian> Docteh: for each core.
[08:24] <undecim> eveningsky: do you have a .ecryptfs directory in /home/?
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> Ultali: find some sample xorg.conf files and copy their mouse sections. It may help
[08:25] <Docteh> 5 cores? sounds interesting
[08:25] <maelaian> Docteh: Recommended is cores + 1
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntunewbie: you mount partitions, not drives
[08:25] <Docteh> oh
[08:25] <ubuntunewbie> ActionParsnip : it came with UUID *80e8aead-249d-415f-8527-5d70f585c46. Previously using ubuntu 8.04 , it shows only just (local disk) name
[08:25] <undecim> eveningsky: I take it that you have a separate home partition that is left over from mint?
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> !rename | ubuntunewbie
[08:25] <eveningsky> undecim, No.
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> !label | ubuntunewbie
[08:26] <ubuntunewbie> ActionParsnip : USB ?
[08:26] <undecim> You don't have .ecryptfs?
[08:26] <eveningsky> undecim, yes. left over. My current home is not encrypted.
[08:26] <danielsh> ... so, I'd like to flush the DNS cache, but I don't have root/sudo access.  How can I do that?
[08:26] <Stranger-2> !custom | ubuntunewbie
[08:26] <eveningsky> no don't have .ecryptfs folder
[08:26] <undecim> in /home/, not /home/username
[08:26] <Stranger-2> !list| ubuntunewbie
[08:27] <eveningsky> undecim, just checked both.
[08:27] <Ultali> ActionParsnip: the Ubuntu docs say that in 9.10 the xorg conf is ignored and instead hal configs are used and I have a logitech marble mouse specific config set in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi
[08:27] <Ultali> which I guess is why everything works at all
[08:27] <undecim> eveningsky: You know from a file browser you need to press ctrl+h to see files begninng with ., right?
[08:28] <eveningsky> undecim, yes, I see hidden files, but not .ecryptfs
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntunewbie: the drive has a single partition occupying the whole drive. You are still mounting the partition. If you run: mount you will see /dev/sdb1 mounted. /dev/sdb1 is the first partition on /dev/sdb which is the disk. You cannot mount /dev/sdb
[08:29] <ubuntunewbie> ActionParsnip : oh , now I am mounting a partition .just that the name is so long to remember UUID name.
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntunewbie: doesn't matter if its scsi or a flash memory stick or a cf card, the partition will be the thing mounted not the disk
[08:29] <undecim> eveningsky: There should be a .ecryptfs folder somewhere in your home directory. That contains your wrapped passphrase that's needed to unlock the files from your login password.
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntunewbie: that's fine, label will help ;)
[08:29] <eveningsky> undecim, I will clarify, what I installed on the current system is ecryptfs-utils and whatever dependecies it asked for in synaptic. But I haven't used it for anything but failed attempts to recover this partition
[08:30] <ubuntunewbie> ActionParsnip : now I am find those packages ,
[08:30] <squiddy> there is new kernel for lucid http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/. why the new kernel doesnt show up on update manager?
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> !info linux-image
[08:31] <undecim> eveningsky: can you do a search for "wrapped-passphrase" in your home partition?
[08:31] <eveningsky> undecim, It was not installed with the OS. As I said, I did not encrypt my home partition this time because the last one got trapped in encryption
[08:31] <rubydiamond> how much time it takes to upgrade ubuntu to lucid
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> Squiddy <IP_ADDRESS>.23 is the layest official ubuntu kernel. You can use that kernel at your own risk but its not supported here
[08:31] <Docteh> !info ubuntu-standard
[08:31] <nope> that depends on a lot of things
[08:31] <undecim> eveningsky: But your encrypted files are still there, no?
[08:32] <squiddy> ActionParsnip: got it. thanks.
[08:32] <Docteh> rubydiamond: that depends on internet speeds, amount of stuff installed etc etc
[08:32] <eveningsky> undecim, Encrypted files are in a partition that is not part of the current system and only mounts if I mount it manually in the terminal.
[08:32] <undecim> eveningsky: Okay, look in that partition for .ecryptfs
[08:33] <undecim> eveningsky: There should be a .ecryptfs/username/.ecryptfs/ folder on that partition
[08:34] <rubydiamond> Docteh: okay..
[08:35] <naveen519> firefox is is consuming more processing power
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> Naveen519: it does that
[08:35] <naveen519> firefox-3.5.3
[08:35] <Kine> How do I install the latest version from here http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/198801
[08:35] <ubuntunewbie> ActionParsnip : will those label affect the other operating system ? let say if I had window xp on other partition , will it also rename the drive ?
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntunewbie: should be fine as far as I know
[08:36] <ubuntunewbie> ActionParsnip : window XP boot as C: , so if I rename at ubuntu as (XP ) will it also rename the C: to (XP) when I boot to window ?
[08:36] <naveen519> ActionParsnip: what is the solution do you suggest ? my system is hanging
[08:36] <ubuntunewbie> ActionParsnip : so all the partition get mess up ?
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> Kine: i'd remove the vdpau ppa and add the xswat ppa: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/27
[08:37] <Gnea> Kine: you don't, ubuntuupdates.org just shows you WHAT'S updated, there's nothing that you can install from there.
[08:38] <Kine> ActionParsnip: i did add x swap but the 256 driver is not there
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntunewbie: it only changes the label. The data is untouched. The system may think its a new drive but will still act the same
[08:38] <Gnea> !upgrade
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> Kine: read the top few lines of the link you gave
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> Kine: you need to install the nvidia-graphics-drivers package once you add it
[08:41] <eveningsky> Sorry if this is a double post, I just lost my connection: undecim, the only thing that shows up in the partition is lost+found, my-username-> [Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop, README.txt]
[08:41] <undecim> eveningsky: look in that partition for .ecryptfs
[08:41] <eveningsky> undecim, I just described everything that is visible in the partition.
[08:41] <undecim> eveningsky: There has to be a "wrapped-passphrase" file on that partition to convert your login password to your encryption key
[08:42] <eveningsky> undecim, no wait. I just realized. I forgot how to ls hidden files.
[08:43] <eveningsky> there is a .ecryptfs in there.
[08:43] <alexbobp> What package can I install for the hardware drivers manager?
[08:43] <kobelev> http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents//Fedora-13-i686-Live.torrent
[08:43] <alexbobp> I'm trying to get wifi working
[08:43] <undecim> eveningsky: Okay, do you want to recover these files and put them in your home directory unencrypted, or do you want to restore your home directory to where it was with mint?
[08:43] <eveningsky> I found it through nautilus. How do I see hideen files in the terminal?
[08:43] <kobelev> http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/Fedora-13-i386-DVD.torrent
[08:43] <alexbobp> eveningsky: ls -a
[08:44] <eveningsky> undecim, I just want to put them in a folder somewhere so I can dig through them at my leisure.
[08:44] <Docteh> whats the daemon that lets me use my mouse in the text console?
[08:44] <eveningsky> alexbobp, thanks.
[08:44] <rabidweezle> Docteh, gpm
[08:44] <alexbobp> eveningsky: no prob
[08:45] <eveningsky> undecim, and free up all that partitioned space.
[08:45] <Docteh> thx
[08:45] <alexbobp> Does anybody know the name of the program that finds hardware drivers, like wifi and graphics cards?
[08:45] <Docteh> start with lspci
[08:45] <undecim> eveningsky: alright then... in .ecryptfs there is your username. Inside that folder there is .ecryptfs and .private.
[08:45] <paul__> does anyone know how I can add a custom button for my desktop on netbook remix?
[08:45] <CbIP> Hi all! Does anybody know, I changed my display manager from gdm to xdm and now it fails to start. Just says "starting x-display-manager" and nothing happens...
[08:45] <Docteh> might be something more complex but lspci works really well
[08:45] <undecim> eveningsky: move both of those to your home folder
[08:46] <undecim> eveningsky: and then make a folder in your home directory called "Private"
[08:46]  * Ultali gives up
[08:46] <eveningsky> undecim. move those 2 folders directly into my current active home folder?
[08:46] <undecim> eveningsky: yes, Assuming you have the space
[08:46] <Ileden> Hi! I was asked by ActionParsnip to run "sudo dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg" but it reports "dpkg: unknown option --reconfigure". What's wrong?
[08:47] <eveningsky> undecim, as in /home not /home/username ?
[08:47] <Docteh> Ileden: dpkg-reconfigure blahblah
[08:47] <undecim> undecim: no, move them to YOUR home folder /home/username
[08:47] <SandGorgon> anyone having trouble with chromium on ubuntu 64-bit - it stops working after the 3'rd or 4'th tab with this http://pastebin.com/EveZbCrY
[08:47] <Ileden> Docteh: ok, thanks!
[08:47] <undecim> eveningsky: no, move them to YOUR home folder /home/username
[08:48] <rabidweezle> SandGorgon, nope
[08:48] <CbIP> I've changed my display manager from "gdm" to "xdm" and now it fails to start. Just says "starting x-display-manager" and nothing happens... Does anybody know, how to fix it?
[08:48] <rabidweezle> SandGorgon, ppa?
[08:48] <alexbobp> oh, turns out I had madwifi all along XD
[08:48] <alexbobp> just wasn't using it.
[08:48] <MACscr> how do i find the full path for rhythmbox? i want it to be my default app for .pls
[08:48] <undecim> eveningsky: We will mount the ecryptfs to the Private folder I told you to make
[08:48] <Docteh> CbIP: you're going to have to dig deeper and get a more informative error
[08:48] <SandGorgon> rabidweezle, chromium-daily
[08:48] <Docteh> can you run xdm manually?
[08:49] <undecim> eveningsky: After you have moved those files, you need to edit .ecryptfs/Private.mnt and change the path in that file to /home/username/Private
[08:49] <rabidweezle> SandGorgon, I suggest just switching to stable in the lucid repo
[08:49] <LuckySMack> should this entry in my fstab not mount the partitions on boot with me as the owner? they are still owned by root with perms of 777. http://pastebin.com/uMFMPKS6
[08:50] <CbIP> Docteh: THe problem is that I can load Ubuntu only with gdm, not xdm... So how do I collect more information?
[08:50] <undecim> eveningsky: After the .ecryptfs folder is there, you can go ahead and edit that file while the rest of the files are moving
[08:50] <eveningsky> undecim, is there a way to do this without moving them? It's reporting about 2.5 hours to copy all the files.
[08:50] <Docteh> CbIP: stop it from starting either, log in at text mode and sudo xdm
[08:50] <SandGorgon> undecim, quick side question - anythoughts about Truecrypt vs ecryptfs ?
[08:50] <undecim> eveningsky: You could just make a symlink to the folders.
[08:50] <Docteh> LuckySMack: i dont see anything that mentions a user in that paste
[08:51] <undecim> SandGorgon: Never used truecrypt
[08:51] <Docteh> defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8
[08:51] <CbIP> Docteh: OK, I'll try. Also, please tell me how to remove it from autorun. I'm a newbie in Linux-systems...
[08:51] <undecim> SandGorgon: though from what I've read, Truecrypt is more secure. I've used dm-crypt with LUKS before, which is good for encrypted root partitions, but no so much for encrypted home
[08:52] <LuckySMack> Docteh, ah i got it from a forum post the other day that mentioned it would be owned by the main user
[08:52] <ubuntunewbie> ActionParsnip : I still dont get it how to label
[08:52] <LuckySMack> maybe i read it out of context.
[08:52] <Docteh> rename /etc/init/gdm.conf to /etc/init/gdm.conf.disabled
[08:52] <CbIP> Docteh: OK. Thanks. I'm going to try...
[08:52] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Are you still trying to install Ubuntu from windows?
[08:52] <undecim> mixxit: Almost done reinstalling XP in virtualbox...
[08:53] <Docteh> LuckySMack: uid=1000 would make it owned by the first user account, you can look up user ids in /etc/passwd if it doesn't like eg user=LuckySMack
[08:53] <Docteh> I think ntfs-3g supports both methods though
[08:53] <LuckySMack> Docteh, cool thanks.
[08:53] <undecim> Jordan_U: Actually, we've managed to bork windows, so now we're trying to install Ubuntu from Grub4dos
[08:53] <dodo> someone can help me, how to install 3d compiz fusion in ubuntu 9.10???
[08:54] <SandGorgon> rabidweezle, what ppa do you use for chromium ?
[08:54] <visitor1> , i installed xsane form the ubuntu package manager, but when i start xsane it says no devices avaiable but the scanner is connected and i can print with it
[08:54] <rabidweezle> SandGorgon, lucid has it in the main repo, so none
[08:54] <visitor1> hi people, need help to get a canon mp640 under xubuntu 10.04 working,i downloaded the latest sane from the sane webpage and i did ./configure, make,make install
[08:55] <visitor1> , i installed xsane form the ubuntu package manager, but when i start xsane it says no devices avaiable but the scanner is connected and i can print with it
[08:55] <Docteh> is there an app for managing ppa's?
[08:55] <LuckySMack> Docteh, ok does this look more right then? my uid is 1000. http://pastebin.com/nXGgxwq2
[08:55] <undecim> Docteh: Ubuntu tweak
[08:56] <Jordan_U> undecim: Is there any way to edit files on the hard drive, or on any drive that the BIOS can read?
[08:56] <dodo> friend???? i need help???? how to install 3d compiz fusion in ubuntu carmic koala????
[08:56] <Docteh> LuckySMack: space goes out
[08:56] <undecim> Jordan_U: Well, the bios is pretty limited as to what it can read.
[08:56] <Docteh> uid=1000,defaults,....
[08:56] <geirha> LuckySMack: You need to separate the options with commas  defaults,uid=1000,...
[08:56] <LuckySMack> ahox, cool
[08:56] <LuckySMack> i see
[08:56] <undecim> Jordan_U: Currently, grub4dos doesn't seem to be able to boot a Linux kernel
[08:57] <LuckySMack> thanks.
[08:57] <dodo> hallo
[08:57] <Docteh> i thought grub4dos just ran grub from dos
[08:58] <undecim> Docteh: No, it's like a different version of grub
[08:58] <eveningsky> undecim, OK. I symlinked .Private and copied .ecryptfs and Private.mnt now reads /home/username/Private
[08:58] <MosDef> I need help
[08:59] <undecim> eveningsky: No run ecryptfs-mount-private in a terminal
[08:59] <undecim> now*
[09:00] <MosDef> hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[09:00] <eveningsky> undecim, no apparent errors. says Inserted auth token......
[09:01] <undecim> eveningsky: Check Private
[09:02] <undecim> mixxit: You there?
[09:02] <eveningsky> undecim, Ok. It's in Private? so do I need to copy that stuff somewhere else now? that's like mounting right? temporary?
[09:02] <eveningsky> YAY!!!!
[09:02] <undecim> eveningsky: Yes, your encrypted files that were on the old partition are mounted to Private
[09:03] <MosDef> hello Unde?
[09:04] <undecim> Right now it's temporary. With the settings in .ecryptfs, Ubuntu will try to mount each time, but you have to mount the partition itself manually. If you give the partition a permanent mount point from /etc/fstab, then it will become a permanent mount
[09:04] <Jordan_U> undecim: This is starting to get somewhat convoluted, but you should be able to use grub4dos to load a super grub2 disk image, and it's easy to boot from an iso from there as there is an option to automatically detect loop bootable iso files. (if mixxit is still available that is).
[09:04] <undecim> Jordan_U: There is no way to get the grub2 super disk to a place where grub4dos can access it.
[09:04] <undecim> Jordan_U: I think the only option left is to get a floppy disk...
[09:04] <mixxit> right
[09:04] <mixxit> good news
[09:04] <Jordan_U> undecim: You can't put it on a flash drive?
[09:05] <undecim> Jordan_U: Old mobo... It doesn't work with flash drives
[09:05] <mixxit> i found a dusty cdrw at the bottom of a pile of cds
[09:05] <eveningsky> undecim, Hah hah!  That 100G partition that was going to take 2 hours to copy only had 1.6G of actual data in it. Thank god for symlinks
[09:05] <mixxit> its slightly scratched but it has suse on it!
[09:05] <mixxit> i am just booting it now
[09:05] <undecim> eveningsky: symlinks are quite useful.
[09:05] <mixxit> (rescue)
[09:05] <Docteh> undecim: what are you trying to do?
[09:05] <undecim> mixxit: Very nice.
[09:06] <Jordan_U> undecim: Isn't that the whole point of unetbootin using grub4dos though (that it has native USB drivers)?
[09:06] <mixxit> undecim: i have left the usb stick in
[09:06] <undecim> Docteh: Boot Ubuntu on a very very old laptop
[09:06] <eveningsky> undecim, hmm. 1.6 gigs is too small for what I had on there. there should have been at least about 30.
[09:06] <Docteh> o, like a livecd or to install?
[09:06] <undecim> Jordan_U: Well, as far as we've tried, we can't access it.
[09:06] <mixxit> no cds and no boot from usb
[09:06] <undecim> eveningsky: where do you see 1.6 GB?
[09:06] <Docteh> live-noncd then
[09:08] <Docteh> undecim: are you shooting for an install or like what the livecd does
[09:08] <undecim> eveningsky: Are you sure you made symlinks and aren't just using what you had already transferred?
[09:08] <CbIP> Docteh: I've renamed /etc/init/gdm.conf, and run sudo xdm (at tty1). It started normally I think, 'cause there were no errors or any messages at all. Also I did't find xorg.conf in my system
[09:08] <undecim> Docteh: Install. Previously we were trying to get net-install on the hard drive, since we didn't have any external media
[09:08] <Docteh> oh did that work?
[09:09] <eveningsky> undecim, I opened Private, highlighted everything and copied it to another folder the copying dialog showed 1.6G. I just showed hidden files, but that only raised it to about 2 gigs.
[09:09] <Docteh> I'd boot gpxe off of a floppy myself
[09:09] <undecim> eveningsky: Make sure that the .private folder is indeed a symlink.
[09:09] <eveningsky> the rest of that mostly is ubuntu specific preferences and stuff
[09:09] <CbIP> Docteh: And after renaming gdm.conf  GDM (not XDM) stared normally...
[09:10] <Docteh> CbIP: so all is well in the land?
[09:10] <CbIP> Docteh: No, I got gdm instead of xdm...
[09:11] <Docteh> oh
[09:11] <undecim> eveningsky: "stat .private" should tell you if it is
[09:12] <isolat3dsh33p> hello guys, I'm using ubuntu 10.04 and i have problem with my touchpad. I doesn't work. How do I solve this problem?
[09:12] <Lazy^> How i can get mplayer to use VDPAU ?
[09:12] <eveningsky> undecim, maybe not.
[09:12] <undecim> eveningsky: And make sure you got capitalization right...
[09:12] <eveningsky> I wonder how I got another .Private folder
[09:13] <eveningsky> undecim, must be leftovers from failed attempts at recovery.
[09:14] <undecim> eveningsky: You can have a .private and a .Private in the same directory because of cases sensitivity.
[09:14] <undecim> eveningsky: Make sure that .Private (capitalized) is the symlink
[09:14] <Jordan_U> mixxit: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/linux-upgrade.html should let you install Ubuntu from your suse disk.
[09:14] <mixxit> its not a full rescue system
[09:14] <mixxit> unfortunately :/
[09:14] <mixxit> but at least im in a shell
[09:15] <undecim> mixxit: If you can get your windows fixed, you can go back to putting unetbootin on E:.
[09:15] <undecim> mixxit: Assuming you want to keep windows, that kills two birds with one stone
[09:15] <MosDef> Please how can i disable b43-PCI-BRIDGE
[09:15] <eveningsky> undecim, I only used .Private throughout because that's what I saw in the partition. The symlink command did not complain, but it also didn't complain about .ecryptfs, which appeared in my home directory as a file instead of a directory.
[09:16] <mixxit> worth a shot
[09:16] <eveningsky> that's why I copied .ecryptfs
[09:16] <antonio_> hi, what happen if i install yum?
[09:17] <Wipster> hey all, my graphics seem to initalise wrongly, when I boot sometimes I get the wrong resolution some times I get no login screen at all just a background. I have been looking around and I think its to do with the speeded up boot and my intel driver (latitude notebook) also worth noting when I get into the desktop the screen extends off to the right off my screen, when I go to prefs monitors the screen re initalises and is right without me ch
[09:17] <Wipster> anging anything.
[09:17] <undecim> eveningsky: mixxit: I hate to leave you guys in the middle of fixing problems, but I really need to get to sleep.
[09:18] <mixxit> undecim: no problem buddy! thank you so much for sitting here with me
[09:18] <mixxit> undecim: we can do this!
[09:19] <undecim> mixxit: No problem. Thanks for letting me figure out about the net install. I can write that guide about installing without external media now.
[09:19] <mixxit> nice! send me a link
[09:19] <undecim> mixxit: And it got a lot simpler to do, as well.
[09:19] <undecim> nite guys
[09:19] <UbuntuLily_> I have installed the DEV version of WINE from the Software Center but its older than the DEV available at winhq.  is there a reason for this?
[09:19] <sreeju> i have installed a theme in ubuntu10.4 but it looks good only if windows are transparent ...how can i change transparency of windows
[09:19] <eveningsky> undecim, thanks. You've given me hope. Will you be on tomorrow?

[09:23] <MosDef> how can i disable b43-PCI-Bridge
[09:23] <sreeju> how to make windows transparent
[09:23] <kevin__> 没有中国人么
[09:23] <Jordan_U> mixxit: If grub4dos is still working I think I can get you booting from your netinstall iso.
[09:23] <Galerien> kevin__: english
[09:24] <Galerien> sreeju: what do you mean?
[09:24] <sreeju> i have installed a theme in ubuntu10.4 but it looks good only if windows are transparent ...how can i change transparency of windows
[09:24] <Ganymede> dysfunctional chat moment!
[09:24] <mixxit> Jordan_U there is no netinstall iso
[09:24] <Galerien> sreeju:  you need to install compiz
[09:24] <Jordan_U> mixxit: What kernel where you trying to load?
[09:25] <sreeju> how?
[09:25] <mixxit> ubnkern
[09:25] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Which is?
[09:25] <Galerien> sreeju: and do you have a graphic card, if yes witch one?
[09:25] <Galerien> sreeju: application ==> ubuntu software center
[09:25] <sreeju> sorry no
[09:25] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Or rather, which is supposed to be used to boot what?
[09:26] <mixxit> Jordan_U: it was in unet 10.4 netinst
[09:26] <mixxit> Jordan_U: it put some files in to the c: drive and then modified the boot.ini
[09:26] <kevin__> any Chinese?
[09:26] <sreeju> then i have another problem, my gwibber is not working
[09:26] <Jordan_U> !cn | kevin__
[09:26] <kevin__> thank you
[09:27] <m4tic> good morning
[09:27] <Jordan_U> kevin__: You're welcome
[09:27] <mixxit> Jordan_U: here's what i have to work with - a blank drive and a very basic shell
[09:27] <sreeju> i have added my twitter account to it but nothing comes
[09:27] <sreeju> what to do?
[09:27] <mixxit> Jordan_U: but it does have tcp
[09:27] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Can you download this: http://prdownload.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso and copy it to your hard drive?
[09:27] <mixxit> Jordan_U: and curl
[09:27] <sreeju> and i cannot even add my facebook account to it
[09:28] <mixxit> Jordan_U: no partitions atm what can i use? i tried looking for fdisk and cfdisk but its not on this cd
[09:28] <Galerien> sreeju: my gwibber works but has HUGE memory problems
[09:28] <Galerien> sreeju: use Twitux of some other that you can find in the software center
[09:29] <Galerien> sreeju: facebook that's weird...
[09:29] <sreeju> oh thanks
[09:29] <mehgahbleh> Hello, I'm trying to connect to my laptop thorugh ssh on a remote server.
[09:29] <mehgahbleh> I have dyndns installed
[09:29] <Jordan_U> mixxit: No partitions? Where is grub4dos installed?
[09:29] <mehgahbleh> and all my router configurations are setup
[09:29] <mehgahbleh> But it says connection refused
[09:29] <mehgahbleh> apparently I need to icnrease the amount of allowed connections
[09:29] <mehgahbleh> how do I do that?
[09:29] <sreeju> ok bye
[09:29] <mixxit> Jordan_U: its trashed now im on a suse install cd in f9
[09:30] <mehgahbleh> Thanks in advance.
[09:30] <mehgahbleh> I will also shower you with money for your help
[09:30] <m4tic> facebook does not work in kapote
[09:30] <Jordan_U> mixxit: :( That makes things harder, though not impossible.
[09:30] <mixxit> Jordan_U: yay!
[09:30] <Jordan_U> mixxit: How did you trash it though?
[09:31] <Galerien> mehgahbleh: yeah well... Are you sure that your laptop accept remote connection?
[09:31] <mehgahbleh> How can I be sure?
[09:31] <Galerien> I'm no expert, but I had turned that off last time :s
[09:31] <mehgahbleh> I'm doing ssh localhost
[09:31] <mixxit> Jordan_U: something happened with windows and it couldnt find hal.dll anymore
[09:31] <mehgahbleh> and that's respondning fine
[09:31] <mehgahbleh> debug1: identity file /home/hasan/.ssh/id_rsa type -1
[09:31] <mehgahbleh> debug1: identity file /home/hasan/.ssh/id_rsa-cert type -1

[09:31] <FloodBot4> mehgahbleh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:31] <m4tic> can anyone use mxit in kapote and empathy?
[09:31] <mixxit> Jordan_U: i think it was when we swapped the partitions around
[09:32] <Galerien> m4tic: I use pidgin + empathy
[09:32] <Jordan_U> mixxit: grub4dos should still work even without windows being bootable.
[09:32] <mixxit> Jordan_U: windows is not setactive atm so it just says insert disk etc..
[09:33] <mixxit> Jordan_U: not sure if this cd has grub or lilo ill check
[09:33] <mehgahbleh> Galerien:  http://pastebin.com/xwsSYdB1
[09:33] <mehgahbleh> ideas?
[09:33] <Jordan_U> mixxit: And you don't have any floppies? That would make things much simpler.
[09:33] <isolat3dsh33p> hello guys, I'm using ubuntu 10.04 and i have problem with my touchpad. I doesn't work. How do I solve this problem?
[09:33] <mixxit> Jordan_U: no external media
[09:34] <Galerien> mehgahbleh: wait
[09:34] <mehgahbleh> Thanks.
[09:34] <delight> is suspend to ram mode also available via shell command ?
[09:34] <mixxit> Jordan_U: what can we do from this suse shell?
[09:34] <Galerien> delight: what do you mean?
[09:34] <Galerien> mehgahbleh: nop :s Sorry, as I said, not an expert
[09:34] <m4tic> galerien, are you able to use facebook in either of them
[09:35] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Ok, I have a crazy idea as a start, but it will destroy the partition table on your hard drive.
[09:35] <delight> Galerien: well i can suspend to ram on my ubuntu via guy … but i was wondering if this is also possible via a command on shell
[09:35] <Galerien> m4tic: in empathy
[09:35] <mixxit> Jordan_U: ok thats not a problem
[09:35] <mehgahbleh> Well, anyone know how to increase amount of allowed connections?
[09:35] <Galerien> delight: you mean killing processus ?
[09:35] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Download this image and dd it to your hard drive: http://prdownload.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso
[09:35] <m4tic> galerien do you enter facebook.com/username? or just username? to date none of these methods work
[09:35] <delight> Galerien: no calling standby …
[09:35] <mixxit> Jordan_U: dd?
[09:36] <mixxit> Jordan_U: i dont have a partition to download it to
[09:36] <Galerien> delight: well, that's ctrl + Z if I remember well...
[09:36] <Galerien> but I don't really know
[09:37] <Galerien> that's something you should be able to find on google...
[09:37] <mixxit> Jordan_U: some memory space?
[09:37] <Galerien> m4tic: username
[09:37] <Galerien> that's all
[09:37] <Jordan_U> mixxit: "dd if=/path/to/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso of=/dev/sda" (but be *very* carefull, if /dev/sda is your flash drive rather than your hard drive then it will destroy the partition table (and some data) on the flash drive)
[09:37] <m4tic> galerien it does not work, but for some reason in mandriva it works
[09:37] <delight> Galerien: well not really … i don't want to stop a process … but i wanted to put a remote box to sleep … via ssh
[09:38] <Galerien> m4tic: sorry, can't help you :D
[09:39] <Galerien> delight: yeah well, my remote connection telnet/ssh are far behind me, so sorry :D
[09:39] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Just put it in /tmp, that should store it in RAM.
[09:39] <al_> how would I "pipe" the output of a find result list in such a way that I can browse the jpgs in the result list? would I need to copy to another location the view in the gui?
[09:39] <mixxit> Jordan_U: dd command not found
[09:39] <kanzie> I get ntpd[22259]: can't open /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift.TEMP: Permission denied  in my syslog, how can I fix this?
[09:39] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Oh no, you're just at an initramfs shell :(
[09:39] <mixxit> Jordan_U: managed to curl it down
[09:40] <eveningsky> can one of the bots here take messages for offline users?
[09:40] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Well, I guess cat is just as good for our purposes, "cat /path/to/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso > /dev/sda"
[09:41] <mixxit> is it sda or hda?
[09:41] <mixxit> Jordan_U: done it to both, reboot?
[09:42] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Yes.
[09:42] <MACscr> i know many of you use docky, but how do you work with workspaces then?
[09:42] <Anubi> hi all
[09:42] <mixxit> Jordan_U: boot failure
[09:43] <Jordan_U> mixxit: From the hard drive?
[09:43] <noblock_aplicabl> file not found?
[09:43] <Anubi> i have some problem with synce in lucid, i cannot sync my htc with evolution, but in karmic i had no problem. some solution?
[09:43] <mixxit> Jordan_U: yeah it tried all devices
[09:44] <mixxit> Jordan_U: back into suse?
[09:44] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Yes.
[09:44] <delight> Galerien: it works by calling /etc/acpi/sleep.sh sleep
[09:44] <mixxit> Jordan_U: might be able to get a full rescue system up just asking the guys in suse a sec
[09:44] <Galerien> delight: oO well, thanks for the heads up!!
[09:44] <abuayyoub> hi, anyone here use Gnome-shell?
[09:45] <Jordan_U> mixxit: The cat command gave you no errors? Did you have the external drive connected?
[09:46] <noblock_aplicabl> haz anyone try slitaz dist?
[09:46] <ChaosR> hello, with compiz turned on I can't play h.264 (720p) videos nicely, it seems like either the frame rate is too low, or vblank isnt correctly synced (though I enabled it). When I used ubuntu a year ago this didnt happen (I used kubuntu in the mean time, but now I switched back). any way to solve it?
[09:46] <mixxit> Jordan_U: no external and no errors
[09:46] <ubulucid> Hi!
[09:47] <Galerien> ChaosR: what is you graphic card?
[09:47] <ChaosR> Galerien: nVidia 8600GT
[09:47] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Ok, are you at the Suse shell again?
[09:47] <mixxit> almost, one sec
[09:47] <Galerien> ChaosR: did you install the proprietary driver?
[09:47] <ChaosR> Galerien: yes
[09:47] <ChaosR> Galerien: and, vdpau seems to make it worse
[09:48] <Jordan_U> mixxit: I see you're getting a lot of great help in #suse ;)
[09:48] <ubulucid> I am using ubuntu 10.04 desktop, i would like to have KDE session as well. How can i have KDE session not kubuntu?
[09:48] <Galerien> ChaosR: ok... I've always used ATI, so, sorry but I don't really know what tot tell you :s
[09:48] <k1> Hi, where is .mozilla/plugin ? i need to put something there but i can't find the dir
[09:48] <Galerien> do you have direct rendering ?
[09:48] <mixxit> Jordan_U: lol yeah.. crayz!
[09:48] <ChaosR> Galerien: both direct rendering and vdpau seem to have the "stutter"
[09:49] <ubulucid> kl: press Ctrl+H to view hidden files in your home
[09:49] <ChaosR> Galerien: to explain it a bit better, it seems as if the screen updates in 2 separate parts
[09:49] <Jordan_U> mixxit: I may need to leave soon.
[09:49] <Tangor> Help me please =)) I have downloaded an iso image ubuntu-server 10.04 lst, but I can't install it, installation passes with errors (corrupted packages and files) The md5sums of the downloaded image and image on a server coincide
[09:49] <Tangor> There are  2 hdd on the computer, there is ubuntu-desktop 10.04 sistem on one of them. Somebody faced such problem? P.S.:Excuse me for my awful English ;-)
[09:49] <ubulucid> kl: files starting with . or / are hidden files
[09:49] <Galerien> ChaosR: Lucid ?
[09:49] <ChaosR> Galerien: yes, lucid
[09:50] <Galerien> Clean install ?
[09:50] <Galerien> or upgrade?
[09:50] <ubulucid> k1: press Ctrl+H to view hidden files in your home
[09:50] <ChaosR> Galerien: clean install, made yesterday
[09:50] <ubulucid> I am using ubuntu 10.04 desktop, i would like to have KDE session as well. How can i have KDE session not kubuntu?
[09:50] <mixxit> Jordan_U: me too in about 30-40 minutes or so but thanks incase you shoot off
[09:50] <Galerien> Ok... well, I don't know what to tell you then
[09:50] <k1> ubulucid, i know, but this dir doesnt exist
[09:50] <ChaosR> heh
[09:50] <StevenR> Hi. How do I make the terminal beep (like echo -ne "\a"). I'm trying to use things like audible ping, but I don't get any sound
[09:50] <rww> k1: create it
[09:51] <Galerien> ChaosR:  because with upgrade there are a lots of problems with drivers, but that's the first clean install problem I saw...
[09:51] <ubulucid> k1: right, create it as rww says for plugins
[09:51] <abuayyoub> hi does anyone in here use Gnome-shell?
[09:51] <ubuntunewbie> hi I install the Ati driver but the it doesn't have the short cut CCC for me to configurate
[09:51] <k1> rww, ubulucid ok thanks
[09:51] <ubuntunewbie> what's the shurt cut for ATi catalyst ?
[09:51] <rww> k1: it's plugins, not plugin, btw.
[09:51] <ubulucid> k1: Welcome
[09:51] <ubulucid> I am using ubuntu 10.04 desktop, i would like to have KDE session as well. How can i have KDE session not kubuntu?
[09:51] <ubuntunewbie> using ubuntu 10.04
[09:51] <ubuntunewbie> thank you
[09:52] <abuayyoub> !gnome-shell
[09:52] <MACscr> shouldnt i be able to drag windows from one workspace to the other?
[09:52] <Galerien> ubuntunewbie: System ==> preference
[09:52] <k1> rww, oh,,,thanks
[09:52] <ubuntunewbie> it doesn't show at preference
[09:52] <Galerien> and you should see it
[09:52] <Galerien> oO
[09:52] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Is the error you got booting different since you ran the cat command?
[09:52] <ubuntunewbie> that's why I feel funny
[09:52] <ubulucid> Anyone uses KDE here???
[09:52] <ChaosR> Galerien: yeh, it probably isnt syncing right for some reason, happens in every movie player. I had this bug on KDE too, but never with compiz
[09:52] <ubuntunewbie> I can enable compiz means i installed already
[09:52] <Tangor> Help me please =)) I have downloaded an iso image ubuntu-server 10.04 lst, but I can't install it, installation passes with errors (corrupted packages and files) The md5sums of the downloaded image and image on a server coincide
[09:52] <Tangor> There are  2 hdd on the computer, there is ubuntu-desktop 10.04 sistem on one of them. Somebody faced such problem?
[09:52] <rww> ubulucid: sudo apt-get install kde-standard
[09:52] <Galerien> ubuntunewbie: aticonfig then
[09:53] <Galerien> aticonfig --initial
[09:53] <mixxit> Jordan_U: im not sure i think so
[09:53] <mixxit> Jordan_U: the web install of rescue froze so im heading to the init shell
[09:53] <ubulucid> rww: will it bring kubuntu?
[09:53] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Are you sure you wrote to /dev/sda and not /dev/sda1 ?
[09:53] <rww> ubulucid: no, hence the name.
[09:53] <rww> ubulucid: what is it in Kubuntu you object to?
[09:53] <mixxit> Jordan_U: sda and hda
[09:54] <noblock_aplicabl> :)

[09:54] <ubulucid> rww: Not much, i am new  to it..Whats the difference b/w kde-base, kde-standars and kubuntu-desktop?
[09:54] <mixxit> Jordan_U: would you like me to try it again?
[09:54] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Sure.
[09:55] <mixxit> Jordan_U: okies
[09:55] <ubulucid> rww: (edit)Not much, i am new  to it..Whats the difference b/w kde-base, kde-standard and kubuntu-plasma-desktop?
[09:55] <Galerien> ubuntunewbie: glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
[09:55] <Galerien> glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
[09:55] <mixxit> Jordan_U: cat test.iso > /dev/sda ?
[09:55] <thopiekar> hi
[09:56] <rww> ubulucid: kdebase* packages are the base of the KDE system, kde-standard is a metapackage that installs a standard KDE desktop, kubuntu-desktop installs KDE plus modifications by the Kubuntu team, kubuntu-plasma-desktop doesn't exist.
[09:56] <thopiekar> is killerkiwi here?
[09:56] <ubuntunewbie> Galerien : The program 'glxinfo' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
[09:56] <ubuntunewbie> Galerien : should I install ?
[09:56] <mixxit> Jordan_U: ok done, should i try to mount sda or something?
[09:56] <StevenR> How do I make the terminal beep (like echo -ne "\a"). I'm trying to use things like audible ping, but I don't get any sound from the terminal :S

[09:57] <Tangor> hi! =)) I have downloaded an iso image ubuntu-server 10.04 lst, but I can't install it, installation passes with errors (corrupted packages and files) The md5sums of the downloaded image and image on a server coincide
[09:57] <Tangor> There are  2 hdd on the computer, there is ubuntu-desktop 10.04 sistem on one of them.
[09:57] <ubuntunewbie> Galerien : maybe I need to restart the pc , will be back in min
[09:57] <rww> Tangor: you probably need tcl-dev
[09:57] <Galerien> ubuntunewbie: and don't take this the wrong way, but I think you are screwed...
[09:57] <rww> Tangor: sorry, mistab
[09:58] <rww> h00ked: you probably need tcl-dev
[09:58] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Yes, "mount /dev/sda /mnt" (normally you'd mount a partititon like sda but this is a special case)
[09:58] <h00ked> rww: thx, I try it ;)
[09:58] <Galerien> UbuntuLily_: try the second option on this post : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9218816
[09:58] <Galerien> UbuntuLily_: that's a clean install or an upgrade?
[09:59] <h00ked> rww: yep, it's working, thanks a lot :)
[09:59] <mixxit> jordan_u hmm needs a filesystem type
[09:59] <ubulucid> rww: i mean kubuntu-desktop (Kubuntu plasma desktop system). I dont want kubuntu blue screen to come, it should remain to ubuntu boot screen only, so which one i should install? I am learning to work on KDE.......
[10:00] <adel> rww: i tried using sudo nano but it gave me an empty box
[10:00] <rww> adel: /etc/grub/grub probably isn't the file you're looking for. /etc/default/grub, perhaps?
[10:00] <rww> ubulucid: Not sure. The #kubuntu channel might know better.
[10:01] <Yahweh> I get a segfault using rhythmbox in the function _nss_wins_gethostbyname_r()
[10:01] <Tangor> ok.. i will try to install 9.10server and upgrade it =(
[10:01] <Yahweh> any clues on how to fix this?
[10:01] <ubulucid> rww: Thanks for your time and help
[10:01] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Then it probably didn't work, you can try iso9660 but it probably won't work.
[10:01] <mixxit> -t iso9660 ?
[10:01] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Yes
[10:02] <mixxit> Jordan_U: wrong fs type
[10:02] <wahby> hi
[10:02] <Jordan_U> mixxit: The image wasn't written correctly, did you check the md5sum of the image?
[10:02] <rww> Yahweh: perhaps https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/529714 ?
[10:03] <wahby> i'm very happy when i jouning with you
[10:03] <Yahweh> I see, yeah that looks like it rww
[10:04] <mixxit> Jordan_U: rescue system is coming down now!
[10:04] <mixxit> Jordan_U: 24mb though and im on hsdpa
[10:04] <rww> Yahweh: which appears to be a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/liferea/+bug/369274 , actually
[10:04] <Jordan_U> mixxit: ?
[10:04] <mixxit> Jordan_U: (suse rescue)
[10:04] <Yahweh> rww, Seems like a mighty hairy bug, I'm not sure I like the "remove WINS" solution
[10:05] <thopiekar> sysinfo
[10:05] <Jordan_U> mixxit: I don't understand.
[10:05] <mixxit> Jordan_U: should have dd and such
[10:05]  * thopiekar noticed that quassels shorts doesn'T work o.O'
[10:05] <mixxit> Jordan_U: cfdisk
[10:06] <rww> Yahweh: indeed. Samba's outside of my competency, though, so I don't have anything in the way of recommendations. Subscribe to the bug and see if anyone comes up with anything, I guess.

[10:12] <minjoo> rww, let me show you something, http://<IP_ADDRESS>/screenshot/2010-05-25-18-12-02.png
[10:13] <Oer> ubuntunewbie, boot lucid with left SHIFT pressed, so you can enter grub, choose recovery, and remove repository ppa:k0ekk0ek/ppa
[10:13] <rww> minjoo: the button to remove a PPA in Launchpad just removes the external repository, not the internal references in Launchpad. See the bug report linked from that FAQ, especially comment #34.
[10:13] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Ok, if you get super grub2 disk dd'd to the hard drive you have two possabilies. 1: If you are really lucky and the option "Enable GRUB2's USB support *experimental*" doesn't just freeze your computer, then you can just stick an Ubuntu iso in /boot-isos/ on your flash drive and choose "Detect loop bootable isos (in /boot-isos or /boot/boot-isos)". Then just bask in your amazing luck while Ubuntu boots and you install as

[10:14] <Oer> ubuntunewbie, like you added, remove the ppa from softwaresources
[10:14] <ubuntunewbie> ok , let me reboot
[10:14] <Jordan_U> mixxit: There is only about a 1 in 4 chance that the USB support will work, it's labeled experimental for a reason :)

[10:16] <vbman-w> hi i have a question how do i change my boot splash on kubuntu?
[10:17] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Option 2: Create a new partition on the hard drive (don't change anything with the first partition, while you can't mount it it's where super grub disk is stored) and put the iso in /boot-isos/ on this new partition. Super grub2 disk will almost certainl let you boot from this iso but I'm not sure if you'll be able to install from it since a partition on the hard drive will not be able to be unmounted since that's where
[10:18] <polo> Galerien Nvidia
[10:18] <polo> Oer ok how do i access it
[10:18] <Galerien> polo: then I can't help you sorry

[10:27] <punto> hi.. I upgraded to kubuntu 10.4 and now my hard drivers are constantly spinning all day long, is there any way to find out which process is doing it so I can kill it?
[10:27] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Still stuck trying to get a rescue shell from the suse disk?
[10:27] <mixxit> yeah
[10:27] <polo> Galerien direct me
[10:27] <mixxit> its failing the checksum
[10:28] <Jordan_U> mixxit: I figured that, can you get enough of a system for dd with "init=/bin/bash" ?
[10:29] <e-frame> hi, can we lock desktop on deformation (just like when rotating the cube) mode ?
[10:29] <Galerien> polo: 2second google search : http://www.semiantics.com/?p=112
[10:29] <mixxit> dd comand not found
[10:29] <perlmonkey> xcl thanks
[10:30] <xcl> not at all
[10:30] <stevecam> am i the only one having problems with transmission?
[10:31] <polo> Galerien thanks i appreciate it
[10:31] <e-frame> i mean, that we don't have to hold the initiate button to view the cube deformation. or maybe there is a toggle for it.
[10:32] <stevecam> why is transmission included with ubuntu if it is broken?
[10:32] <Jordan_U> mixxit: What drives are listed by "ls /dev/sd* /dev/hd*" ?
[10:32] <polo> Galerien i was only seeing opengl for c++ in the synaptic now you'v helped redirect my search
[10:33] <mixxit> checking :)

[10:33] <Name141> is it possible to use shred to shred directories and sub directories ?
[10:33] <Name141> I tried using " find | shred -xuvz " but it doesn't seem to work right
[10:33] <mixxit> no such file for sd*
[10:34] <mixxit> same for hd
[10:34] <mixxit> but the crazy thing is it says /dev/sda no such file but i typed sd (notice the a missing)
[10:34] <nibbier> Name141, find . -exec shred '{}' \;
[10:34] <nibbier> Name141, find . -type f -exec shred '{}' \;
[10:34] <Name141> oh yes
[10:34] <adoul90> is there by any chance a version of microsoft office for ubuntu?
[10:35] <Name141> I fogot about the -exec
[10:35] <nibbier> adoul90, try openoffice.
[10:35] <b0n1> hi, is it normal that after installing ubuntu 10.04 the minimize and maximize and escape button of a window is on the left top ?
[10:35] <nibbier> Name141, you can also do it via xargs
[10:35] <nibbier> b0n1, yes, normal
[10:35] <Pirate_Hunter> lucid is not running .php files any more instead it outputs the context of the files in browser. I believe it has something to do with lighttpd which I currently edited for another package, however I do not know how to go about fixing this problem can any help?
[10:35] <Jordan_U> mixxit: It's probably a broken symlink. I just realized that the reason the cat seemed to work is that it just created a new regular file in /dev/ that just happened to be named /dev/hda.
[10:35] <adoul90> nibbier: i have open office, is the the best applicaiton?
[10:35] <b0n1> how can i change that back  nibbier  ?
[10:35] <mixxit> how come its still there are a restart?
[10:35] <ubuntunewbie> how to remove from repository ?
[10:35] <nibbier> b0n1, dont know, try system->preferences->appearance or such
[10:36] <Oer> ubuntunewbie, sudo ppa-purge ppa:k0ekk0ek/ppa
[10:36] <nibbier> adoul90, its one of the better ones
[10:36] <b0n1> i did found nothing
[10:36] <ubuntunewbie> Oer: after that ?
[10:36] <adoul90> ok thx
[10:36] <sr_rules> b0n1 : To move them on the left use :-    gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"
