[00:00] <houston> jimbeam12 : if it is based on the UVC standard it should "just work" out of the box
[00:00] <dsnyders> jimbeam12, In future, put everything on one line.  It's easier to read.
[00:00] <Scotie> have a resolution by 1024...
[00:00] <jimbeam12> ok cool
[00:00] <Trek> houston / jimbeam12: Logitech doesnt like *nix
[00:00] <emes> any suggestions for an 802.11n pci card with solid support (and available in the US)?
[00:00] <jimbeam12> so what a good webcam for unix..
[00:02] <patrick__> daftykins, so it still works. why doesnt studio 64bot come with a network manager ?
[00:02] <patrick__> daftykins, or was there more to it?
[00:02] <dsnyders> !repository
[00:02] <nDuff> jimbeam12, see the "supported devices" list at http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/
[00:02] <geminidomino> Before I have to wipe again, is there some way to "force"/specify monitor settings rather than trying to make ubuntu recognize them. I've tried modifying xorg.conf, but no dice.
[00:03] <jimbeam12> thx
[00:03] <daftykins> patrick__: it's possible it was as simple as the network manager, but you didn't have the interface before so that was odd. i've no idea about studio to be honest :)
[00:03] <orochi> back.  same problem.  getting an error message on youtube when i try to play a video that says i don't have the latest flash player or javascript is disabled.
[00:03] <daftykins> patrick__: we both learned something either way :D
[00:04] <loki87> network-manager tell me "Networkmanager disabled" what can i do ?
[00:04] <daftykins> loki87: right click the tray icon and tick "enable network" ? if it's there
[00:04] <FrozenFire> orochi: In Tools->Add-ons->Plugins, does it list Shockwave Flash?
[00:04] <orochi> yep
[00:04] <orochi> flash is working too
[00:04] <loki87> daftykins: can't click anything
[00:05] <lsj85> @loki87 I had the same problem I ended up doing a fresh install
[00:05] <loki87> thats not the way, i am sure that i can fix this
[00:05] <loki87> ubuntu is not windows
[00:06] <lsj85> i actually some how uninstalled mine couldn't get etho or wireless to work
[00:06] <lars__> hey i am trying to use aircrack, but when ever i use airmon b4 it gives me eth2 instead of a wlan...do i need to enable anything or download any packages b4 i use aircrack-ng...ill list the packages ive downloaded so far1)aircrack-ng2)airmon-ng3)macchanger4)airodump-ng...what am i doing wrong
[00:06] <loki87> ... god damn
[00:07] <lsj85> tried to reinstall it and it would not fetch i had no internet
[00:08] <jonex> Typos_Kings: it doesnt let me save  the doc
[00:08] <lars__> anybody wanna help me with some aircrack problems?
[00:08] <jimbeam12> later
[00:08] <orochi> get backtrack for aircrack
[00:08] <orochi> and what not
[00:09] <orochi> it's based on ubuntu
[00:09] <RedXIII> I'm having a problem side-by-side installing ubuntu 9.10 with xp
[00:09] <orochi> and everything is set up
[00:09] <RedXIII> I get to the partition manager but it doesn't give me the "side-by-side" option.
[00:09] <lsj85> @redxiii are you trying to install from live cd
[00:09] <v3rr3z> how do i Turn on sound support from kernel config
[00:10] <RedXIII> installing from live dvd 9.10
[00:10] <RedXIII> I hit "Install Ubuntu" and went through the prompts
[00:10] <RedXIII> maybe I should just boot to the desktop and do it using gparted?
[00:10] <histo> RedXIII: you mean dual boot
[00:10] <arand> RedXIII: What partitions are already on the drive? only XP?
[00:10] <lars__> i already got aircrack-ng, airmon-ng, macchanger and airodump_ng...do i need to enable anything so they can pick up a wifi signal
[00:10] <orochi> you need to go into monitor mode
[00:10] <RedXIII> Well according to hiren's bootcd it shows that there's a 8mb free unallocated sector and a winxp proff partition
[00:10] <histo> RedXIII: you wan tot resize the Xp partition and install ubuntu in the free space.
[00:11] <lsj85> madwifi
[00:11] <RedXIII> histo: exactly.
[00:11] <histo> RedXIII: well if you boot to the desktop you can use gparted to resize if you can't do it with the installer
[00:11] <RedXIII> That's what I'm doing now
[00:11] <RedXIII> I'm only familiar with KDE so this should be interesting.
[00:11] <orochi> lars__ if you're trying to crack wep and aircrack is giving you a hard time just get backtrack 4 and use gerix
[00:11] <orochi> it's much easier
[00:11] <orochi> for cracking wep
[00:12] <histo> or wesside on backtrack 4
[00:12] <ardchoille> My friend has a webcam, how do I view it with empaty?
[00:12] <histo> ardchoille: what chat protocal are youguys using?
[00:12] <lars__> ok ill give it a shot thanx...also does it work for wpa and wpa2 keys
[00:13] <ardchoille> histo: yahoo
[00:13] <histo> ardchoille: if yahoo supports it you will see a little camera next to his name in the buddy list
[00:13] <orochi> lars__ it does, but you need a dictionary file
[00:13] <orochi> cracking wpa is a lot different
[00:14] <histo> lars__: wesside works just use that
[00:14] <orochi> and a lot of the time it's impossible by using current methods
[00:14] <orochi> or at the very least it would take years
[00:14] <orochi> to crack
[00:14] <histo> lars__: it will search and find the nearest one or you can specify bssid and it does all the work for you
[00:14] <fabricio> buenas amigos, saludos a todos... amigos una duda.. estoy intentando instalar java en ubuntu 10.04 beta y no he podido si alguien me puede ayudar le agradeceria muchisimo..
[00:14] <Wren88> if my ram is 8 gig and this is a server how much swap space should i assgn?
[00:15] <histo> Wren88: make sure you use the server kernel
[00:15] <Wren88> i do
[00:15] <histo> Wren88: so you get pae support otherwise you'll only use 4gigs
[00:15] <fabricio> intente de forma manual, descargando el paquete autoejecutable desde la pagina de java pero no funciona... es decir se instala sin problemas pero no funciona java
[00:15] <Wren88> so 8 gig for the swap?
[00:15] <histo> Wren88: is it a 64bit machine?
[00:15] <Wren88> yeah
[00:15] <orochi> but yeah um...i'm having this really weird problem with youtube right now.  anyone have any ideas?  it doesn't think i have either the latest flash, or javascript enabled.  i do have the latest flash and javascript is enabled.
[00:16] <lars__> what do i run to get it i cant find it in synaptic...i just tried "sudo apt-get install backtrack4> is that right?
[00:16] <histo> Wren88: yeah thats fine I wouldn't go anything over that is unecessary you'll never really touch it anyways
[00:16] <geminidomino> Does anyone know of a way to fix/workaround the lcd monitor detection issue? I cant seem to get it to accept my settings even when I manually edit xorg.conf
[00:16] <nDuff> Wren88, depends on what kind of load you're going to be running. I rarely do more than 2gb in the common case
[00:16] <bsmith093> if i backup my entire hd does root have the authority to restore everything, or just the stuff owned by root
[00:16] <orochi> http://www.backtrack-linux.org/
[00:16] <histo> Wren88: I would even go lower like 2gigs I don't even touch swap ever
[00:16] <Wren88> what if i use hibernation?
[00:16] <nDuff> bsmith093, root can restore everything.
[00:16] <histo> Wren88: if you use hibernation i think you need to atleast match it.
[00:16] <bsmith093> even the normal user stuff
[00:17] <nDuff> Wren88, ...ahh, in _that_ case you want your total RAM _plus_ 2gb
[00:17] <histo> bsmith093: root can see everything.
[00:17] <Wren88> thanks...!
[00:17] <bsmith093> \ok then thanks
[00:17] <histo> bsmith093: the only way it couldn't is if your /home is encrypted or something.
[00:17] <RedXIII> oh wth
[00:17] <RedXIII> gparted failed on me.
[00:17] <bsmith093> its not
[00:17] <RedXIII> I'm confused on this partition thing.
[00:18] <fabricio> hi everyone i said this in spanish so nobody understand me before, i'm trying to install java on my ubuntu 10.04 beta but i can't
[00:18] <shadowz_> can someone tell me how i hide my ip address whenn i enter a room ?
[00:18] <RedXIII> I have a winxp prof partition (/dev/sda1) and somehow unallocated space of 7.84 MB
[00:18] <histo> RedXIII: here's what I would do. Boot XP then defrag the drive.  Make sure you have a backup of your important files. Then boot live cd and resize the ntfs partition.
[00:18] <histo> RedXIII: thats fine just resize /dev/sda1
[00:18] <RedXIII> The system has to be defraged?
[00:18] <fabricio> i already try manually, downloading the autopackage from java and installation go fine but doesn't work sorry about my english
[00:18] <RedXIII> I defragged recently but not after I deleted a crapload of files.
[00:19] <matmatmat> hello
[00:19] <histo> RedXIII: Its recomended and I would backup your important files first incase soemthing blows up.
[00:19] <csgeek> how do I check which package owns a file?
[00:19] <histo> !resize | RedXIII
[00:19] <RedXIII> Nothing important on the drive.
[00:19] <nDuff> csgeek, dpkg -S
[00:19] <RedXIII> I -can't- resize the /dev/sda1. I tried to grow it to take up that extra 7MB and it said FAILED.
[00:19] <jmk-mcfaul> ubuntu 9.10, 64-bit AMD.  my onboard NIC starts dropping packets whenever I install a Hauppauge 2250 TV tuner card.  Any troubleshooting suggestions?
[00:19] <histo> RedXIII: You would want to make it smaller to make room for ubuntu
[00:19] <fabricio> and control center show me the option to install it but only says UPDATE, no say INSTALL thanks and sorry for my english again
[00:19] <histo> !dualboot | RedXIII
[00:19] <csgeek> hmm. I tried that.. didn't work.  dpkg -S /usr/bin/qmake just says not found
[00:20] <lsj85> do a full install and virtual box xp
[00:20] <emes> any suggestions for an 802.11n pci card with solid support (and available in the US)?
[00:20] <histo> csgeek: tyep in     which qmake
[00:20] <ardchoille> histo: so empathy has webcam support compiled in?
[00:20] <filo1234> hi there, someone are using google-chrome? i need to see permission of /opt/google/chrome/chrome-sandbox
[00:20] <matmatmat> my screen is flickering when theres motion on it
[00:20] <histo> csgeek: and what are you trying to do with it.
[00:20] <histo> ardchoille: yes.
[00:20] <bobbo> filo1234, you shouldn't, how you installing chrome?
[00:21] <matmatmat> got the nvidia proprietary drivers
[00:21] <RedXIII> This is a 2.5" sata drive if that means anything
[00:21] <RedXIII> btw.
[00:21] <ardchoille> filo1234:  -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 11K 2010-02-20 23:44 /opt/google/chrome/chrome-sandbox
[00:21] <histo> emes: linksys?
[00:21] <orochi> how would i go about completely removing firefox?  selecting completely remove in synaptic and apt-get purge don't seem to be enough.
[00:21] <moosekaka> hello i have a hardware router question: when i reinstalled my winxp (dual boot with hardy) my dlink 615 router suddenly stopped working for wireless (wires is ok)...cannot get an IP in linux...doesnt matter if its NM or WICD
[00:21] <orochi> all my settings are still in tact when i reinstall it and my weird problem is still there.
[00:21] <TannerF> Anyone know the date when 10.04 is due?
[00:21] <moosekaka> however once i reinstalled the router driver in XP it works again in linux
[00:21] <histo> moosekaka: what type of wireless card do you have?
[00:21] <RedXIII> I tried following the guide on ubuntu. It gave me a partition fail
[00:21] <RedXIII> Much like gparted is now
[00:21] <histo> moosekaka: the firmware is needed for your card.
[00:21] <moosekaka> broadcom 440 ?intel wireless pro
[00:22] <csgeek> I'm just trying to know which packages ships / installs a file.
[00:22] <ardchoille> TannerF: some time in 04 0f 2010 (10.04)
[00:22] <histo> RedXIII: try refragging
[00:22] <bobbo> TannerF, we expect release on 29th of April (2010)
[00:22] <histo> RedXIII: defragging sry
[00:22] <moosekaka> so firmware is stored on the router? confused
[00:22] <TannerF> bobbo: thanks
[00:22] <emes> histo: that's not especially helpful
[00:22] <csgeek> workong on packaging something... actually helping someone package something
[00:22] <lsj85> redxiii why noy try a full install and do xp on virtual
[00:22] <filo1234> bobbo: why? i shoudn't?? i can but i saw that permission are setuid in chrome-sandbox -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 11272 2010-03-24 19:23 /opt/google/chrome an i like to know if it is correct
[00:22] <histo> csgeek: dpkg -l | grep qmake
[00:22] <RedXIII> lsj85: Its a laptop
[00:22] <ardchoille> histo: Thank you :)
[00:22] <RedXIII> with like 1gig of memory
[00:22] <histo> moosekaka: no the firmware for your wireless card is the issue
[00:22] <RedXIII> VB isn't a great idea for these system specs
[00:22] <bobbo> filo1234, did you install from a tarball of the (semi-official) chromium ppa?
[00:22] <bobbo> s/of/or/
[00:23] <histo> moosekaka: the driver loads the firmware so it doesn't work unless its present
[00:23] <filo1234> bobbo: .deb from google
[00:23] <RedXIII> I virtualbox windows on my kubuntu machine, but that's about it.
[00:23] <histo> !wireless | moosekaka
[00:23] <lsj85> i got mine set up like that got 25 gigs for xp professional
[00:23] <lsj85> on virtual
[00:23] <bobbo> filo1234, could you !pastebin the exact error message you get?
[00:23] <histo> !who | RedXIII
[00:24] <RedXIII> histo: lol I'll try defragging now
[00:24] <filo1234> bobbo: i don't have errors, i only curious to know if that permissions are correct, bobbo do you have google-chrome?
[00:24] <Guest61703> Hi. I've just got a quick question. If <uptime> shows 3 users, but only one user besides root exists, how f*cked am I? and who's no. 3?
[00:24] <moosekaka> im just confused why i needed to run the install driver CD for the router in xp before linux could get the router to work...short answer is that firmware wasnt loaded? but how can linux know where the firmware for the driver is since i installed in XP
[00:24] <RedXIII> I don't know if it'll clear my issues though.
[00:25] <bobbo> filo1234, I used to have chromium from a semi-official PPA
[00:25] <lakeoftea> lol my uptime shows 5 users
[00:25] <lakeoftea> i'm the only one on . . . how do i know which users are logged in?
[00:25] <histo> moosekaka: the issue is most likely that your card works fine in Xp but doesn't in linux. Has nothign to do with the router
[00:25] <Guest61703> nice.. why tho?
[00:25] <histo> lakeoftea: are you logged in the ttys?
[00:25] <histo> lakeoftea: and who    in a console will tell you
[00:25] <EduardoRT> Hey, Does anyone knoes any mexican channel?
[00:25] <filo1234> bobbo: can i see your ls -l /opt/google/chrome/chrome-sandbox ? please?
[00:25] <histo> !es > EduardoRT
[00:25] <moosekaka> well it works fine now in linux after i reinstalled the drivers in xp
[00:25] <bobbo> filo1234, I didn't have it installed in /opt
[00:26] <EduardoRT> Thanks
[00:26] <moosekaka> thats whats confusing me....everything i did in xp is on a separate partition
[00:26] <bobbo> filo1234, I'ma BRB then I'll PM you , okay?
[00:26] <histo> moosekaka: So the card didn't work in xp untill you isntalled what?
[00:26] <filo1234> bobbo: ok
[00:26] <moosekaka> the driver CD that came with the dlink 615 router...in xp
[00:26] <taylorjb> moosekaka: buy a linksys wrt54gl and flash it with tomato 1.27 (http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato). you'll be happy then.
[00:26] <bsmith093> .dmrc file being ignored
[00:26] <histo> moosekaka: thats not a driver cd. Routers don't have drivers
[00:27] <histo> moosekaka: its probably a setup disk that you don't really need.
[00:27] <moosekaka> taylor jb: im happy now everything works :) just confused why i had to do something in XP first before it wor
[00:27] <moosekaka> worked in linux
[00:27] <fabienandre> 9.9
[00:27] <histo> moosekaka: your cd ffor the router probably blew out whatever settings where causing the issue with the router
[00:28] <forestlurks> how do i turn off the announcements of people logging in and leaving a room?  im using irssi in ubuntu 9.10..
[00:28] <histo> moosekaka: but you don't need the cd you can point a browser at the IP of the router to configure it.
[00:28] <histo> forestlurks: /help ignore
[00:28] <moosekaka> histo: hmmn interesting but still i did the CD thing on the NTFS partition...if nothing is stored on the router how can it fix the issue for linux?
[00:29] <Wren88> is there file in ubuntu in case of power failure and on batteries hibernate after x amount of time?
[00:29] <histo> forestlurks: also there is #irssi
[00:29] <ubutom> moosekaka, may be rubbish what I'm talking, but I think sometimes hardware gets locked by an OS
[00:29] <histo> moosekaka: becuase the Router settings got changed when you ran the cd.
[00:29] <ubutom> moosekaka, happened to me with some network card or modem some time ago
[00:30] <forestlurks> thanks histo
[00:30] <jeffesquivel> hmm, I kind of like this ubuntu netbook edition...
[00:30] <Guest61703> Thanks histo
[00:30] <histo> ubutom: he's not having a card issue but a router issue he thinks. Thats what I was trying to explain originally that firmware on some wifi cards is loaded by the drivers.
[00:30] <moosekaka> router settings: where are they stored? on the host computer? becos the wireless is on my laptop....and the router is connected to a PC
[00:30] <jeffesquivel> does anybody knows if there is an ubuntu netbook specific IRC channel?
[00:31] <ubutom> histo, yeah, but it could be the samething, other OS doesn't terminate the device right and next OS can't use it
[00:31] <thisguykills> hi
[00:31] <histo> jeffesquivel: /msg alis list *searchterm*
[00:31] <thisguykills> can anyone help a noobie?
[00:31] <Wren88> is there file in ubuntu in case of power failure and on batteries hibernate after x amount of time?
[00:31] <bobbo> jeffesquivel, not as far as I know, are you having an issue with Ubuntu Netbook Remix?
[00:31] <histo> ubutom: well its a firmware issue that you are described causing the locking.
[00:32] <IdleOne> thisguykills: only if you ask a question :)
[00:32] <thisguykills> I can't seem to copy and paste a file in terminal :\
[00:32] <histo> thisguykills: are you in X?
[00:32] <thisguykills> Gnome
[00:32] <m3> how do i get my window borders back after removing netbook remix ?
[00:32] <IdleOne> thisguykills: ctrl+shift+c to copy
[00:32] <histo> thisguykills: okay highlight text and then middle mouse button to paste
[00:32] <ubutom> histo, yeah, did dual boot while having that issue, I think it was an internal NIc or modem, don't remember exactly
[00:32] <bobbo> !question | thisguykills
[00:32] <moosekaka> ok thanks i did get a message when i was running the router setup cd asking me for a username and password
[00:32] <jeffesquivel> bobbo, not issues... just wanted to know if it is possible to add panels to i
[00:32] <jeffesquivel> t
[00:32] <Wren88> .
[00:33] <thisguykills> well I need to copy a file to /usr/bin/ to change my toolbar look
[00:33] <histo> thisguykills: or you can ctrl+shft+c and ctrl+shfit+v
[00:33] <thisguykills> It won't give me permission
[00:33] <IdleOne> thisguykills: mv /tis/file /to/here
[00:33] <histo> thisguykills: open both files or echo one to the other
[00:33] <bobbo> jeffesquivel, add "categories" to UNR?
[00:33] <histo> !sudo | thisguykills
[00:33] <moosekaka> for future ref....its possible to configure the router directly in linux by specifying the IP?
[00:33] <Wren88> .
[00:33] <histo> thisguykills: sudo mv /source/file /destination/file
[00:34] <thisguykills> ok thanks let me try
[00:34] <jeffesquivel> bobbo, i mean, applets
[00:34] <bobbo> jeffesquivel, add applets to the UNR top panel?
[00:34] <rdvonz> Excuse me, I've been hacking away for hours trying to get my monitor's resolution to be correctly recognized. This just recently happened, Can someone help?
[00:34] <jeffesquivel> bobbo, yep
[00:34] <Guest61703> mv is move right? I thought he wanted to copy
[00:34] <histo> rdvonz: what type of video card?
[00:34] <jeffesquivel> bobbo, i'm using lucid beta 1, just in case it matters
[00:34] <rdvonz> histo: Onboard video card
[00:34] <bobbo> jeffesquivel, I've not used UNR for a while but have you tired right clicking on the top panel?
[00:34] <histo> rdvonz: yeah what chipset?
[00:35] <histo> rdvonz: lspci | grep VGA
[00:35] <Wren88> im trying to get my xchat to display a different when inserted respond in the chat room
[00:35] <jeffesquivel> bobbo, first thing I tried :-)
[00:35] <bobbo> jeffesquivel, towards the top right, if you right click it may ask you to add to panel?
[00:35] <rdvonz> histo: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266]
[00:35] <histo> rdvonz: ughh
[00:35] <aetaric> oh wow... an s3
[00:35] <rdvonz> histo: I know.
[00:35] <histo> ancient
[00:36] <jeffesquivel> bobbo, I tried to right click on an "empty" space on the panel
[00:36] <aetaric> i think i have one out in the garage XD
[00:36] <histo> rdvonz: I'm trying to remember what I had to do with mine I had an old pc with one of those.
[00:36] <jeffesquivel> bobbo, but didn't get the usual menu
[00:36] <histo> rdvonz: I think the s3 driver was blacklisted on default ubuntu installe
[00:36] <jeffesquivel> the one I get on ubuntu classic
[00:36] <bobbo> jeffesquivel, that's weird, it should work the normal way
[00:36] <Wren88> .
[00:36] <bobbo> jeffesquivel, seems like a bug to me
[00:36] <vrxchk> i tried ubuntu on a 500mhz celery once.. big mistake. heh
[00:37] <arielCo> Hello everyone! I'll ask right away: I just replaced OpenJDK with sun-java6-*, and I changed the value of JAVA_HOME in /etc/environment. Now how do I tell Gnome to "refresh" its environment without logging off?
[00:37] <Wren88> lol celery
[00:37] <moosekaka> another thing....i wished windows had a /home partition......everytime i reinstall my OS i have to reinstall everything.....eventhough i have my USERS folder on another partition it is not trivial to reuse it :(
[00:37] <rdvonz> histo: Take your time, I've been at this for hours. :'(
[00:37] <histo> rdvonz: let me do some searching hold up
[00:37] <vrxchk> i always call 'em celeries

[00:37] <jeffesquivel> bobbo, I read somewhere that is how UNR panel works... just wanted to know if someone knew some easy hack or something (like the one to have multiple workspaces)
[00:38] <vrxchk> 9.10 runs on my nettop ok
[00:38] <Wren88> .
[00:38] <jophish> I have a program that is a countdown to a date in the future. How would I do something like the telnet star wars (telnet://towel.blinkenlights.nl), so when a user telnets to my ip, they get just the output of this program? I suspect that inetd is involved somehow.
[00:38] <moosekaka> sorry not meant to go OT
[00:38] <bobbo> jeffesquivel, unfortunately not, if you need a bunch of customisation I think you'll need the main ubuntu-desktop instead of UNR
[00:38] <Wren88> whats the eta for Lucid?
[00:39] <IdleOne> !lucid
[00:39] <bobbo> jeffesquivel, I think UNR is for the most basic netbook stuff e :)

[00:39] <Wren88> ty
[00:39] <nDuff> jophish, several ways to do it; my favorite is tcpsvd (from the "runit" package)
[00:39] <solow> bobbo xD
[00:39] <histo> rdvonz: also I found a thread discussing the 9.10 issue
[00:40] <histo> rdvonz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1337333
[00:40] <jophish> nDuff, and that would allow people to telnet to my ip and see the programs output?
[00:40] <Lajosward> Anyone have a few mins to help me out
[00:40] <histo> !ask > Lajosward
[00:40] <Typos_King> !ask | Lajosward
[00:40] <nDuff> jophish, if you tell tcpsvd to connect port 23 to your program, yes
[00:40] <jeffesquivel> bobbo, ok, thanks!
[00:40] <rdvonz> histo: Thanks, I'm just baffled as to why this happened a week after installing. It was working fine at 1280x1024 resolution before..
[00:40] <jeffesquivel> bobbo, I think the interface is really useful small screens
[00:40] <craigbass1976> what's the best way to get firefox 3.5 in Hardy? http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/193/installing-firefox-3-5-in-ubuntu-the-easy-way ?
[00:40] <histo> rdvonz: upgrade to one of the X packages probably
[00:41] <sprung> Hi, I am using gnome and want to change the function of what F10 does when i am in a terminal window. When I press F10, it selects the window of the menu. This is causing me problems when I use jed to write c programs because F10 is used in jed to open its text-based menu.
[00:41] <Wren88> .
[00:41] <jophish> well, I could forward port 23 on the router to anything on the server
[00:41] <jeffesquivel> bobbo, and I like it... the thing is, I am used to some of the functionality I have on my laptop
[00:41] <nDuff> jophish, ...hrm, let me amend that -- it's actually in "ipsvd", a separate package from runit (though they're from the same author and often used together)
[00:41] <Wren88> anyone good with xchat?
[00:41] <histo> rdvonz: you could try rolling back if you figure otu which package.  most like xserver-video-s3 or somethign like that.
[00:41] <jophish> and thanks very much nDuff
[00:41] <jeffesquivel> bobbo, :-)
[00:41] <Trek> Wren88, yeah, why?
[00:41] <IdleOne> Wren88: please ask, there is also #xchat if nobody here can help
[00:41] <Typos_King> craigbass1976:    why can't you just download it from mozilla.org?    get the .bz2 package, all it needs is unzip and run, no install required
[00:41] <histo> rdvonz: you may have the old package in /var/cache/apt/archives/
[00:41] <tyranos> sprung, just go to menu and deactivate show menubar
[00:41] <rdvonz> histo: Wow, the forum thread you sent me is the EXACT same thing that's happening too me. Even the same distro.
[00:41] <nDuff> jophish, ...docs for both at http://smarden.org/runit/ and http://smarden.org/ipsvd/
[00:42] <sprung> tyranos, good idea, didnt think of that
[00:42] <Lajosward> I am wanting to have a bottom screen like this one http://gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=72425&file1=72425-1.png&file2=72425-2.png&file3=72425-3.png&name=Mac+OSX+Leopard+10.5+Full+pack and not sure how to go about it
[00:42] <jophish> sounds good. Thanks again
[00:42] <bobbo> jeffesquivel, I love UNR it's just *too* simple some of the time
[00:42] <Wren88> well everytime i type a response a it shows in gray front I tried messing with the colors but no good
[00:42] <tyranos> sprung, i had the same problem :)
[00:42] <jeffesquivel> bobbo, ies
[00:42] <jeffesquivel> *yes
[00:42] <Alxandr> I'm having some problems installing ubuntu 9.10 server on my server. It fails to install grub2 (may be caused by my fake-raid setup).
[00:42] <histo> bobbo: you can use normal gnome instead of the UNR interface its just running on top of gnome
[00:42] <nwillems> Hi there - I just talked with a nice guy over at the LXDE channel anf found out that my pcmanfm for LXDE is outdated, how would I get the newer version?
[00:42] <Alxandr> Any suggestions as to what I may do?
[00:42] <IdleOne> Wren88: that is the default behavior
[00:43] <Trek> Wren88: what IdleOne said
[00:43] <histo> nwillems: is there a problem witht he version you have?
[00:43] <jophish> nDuff, it seems at the basic level to do exactly the same thing as inetd
[00:43] <jiohdi> nwillems: you can use thunar, its lightweight too
[00:43] <Wren88> so it changeable?
[00:43] <histo> !backports | nwillems
[00:43] <jophish> invokes a program on a socket connection, with stdin and stdout as the socket
[00:43] <patrick__> If i download an application from add/remove programs, does it automatically grab the right one? 32/64bit?
[00:43] <bobbo> histo, yes, UNR is a modified gnome, except it ues a repacement for gnome-panel which means that a bunch of gnome-panel functionality foesn't work
[00:43] <arand> patrick__: yes
[00:43] <histo> patrick__: yes
[00:43] <craigbass1976> Typos_King, can I run flash and everything without installing it?
[00:43] <patrick__> arand, histo I love you guys :]
[00:44] <histo> sprung: System > preferences > keyboard shortcut
[00:44] <craigbass1976> Typos_King, and will it import my 3.0 profile?
[00:44] <Trek> Wren88: ask in #xchat, they would know
[00:44] <Typos_King> craigbass1976:    that doesn't include flash, no, you can install flash from the repositories though
[00:44] <Trek> Wren88: /join #xchat
[00:44] <Alxandr> I'm having some problems installing ubuntu 9.10 server on my server. It fails to install grub2 (may be caused by my fake-raid setup). It just pops up with a menu displaying the install-order (and I might select what I wan't it to do), but installing grub just returns to that menu.
[00:44] <Lajosward> Anyone know how i can make my bottom bar graphical instead of the bar that it is now?
[00:44] <freeman> Hey guys. What's the defualt MYSQL password in ubuntu 9.10 ? It won't let me log in, but I was never the guy that set it up. It was default with ubuntu 9.10
[00:44] <nwillems> histo: Yes, the version I'm running is 0.5.1 and the LXDE peps have released 0.5.2 as a "bugfix" for shared-mime-info version 0.7, so it would be nice if 0.5.2 of pcmanfm was std in ubuntu repos
[00:44] <Wren88> thanks
[00:44] <histo> Lajosward: you can customize it however youw ant.
[00:45] <coz_> freeman,  graphical?
[00:45] <jeffesquivel> bobbo, and I think something like workspaces is even more useful on small screens
[00:45] <coz_> freeman,  sorry wrong person
[00:45] <Lajosward> http://gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=72425&file1=72425-1.png&file2=72425-2.png&file3=72425-3.png&name=Mac+OSX+Leopard+10.5+Full+pack
[00:45] <craigbass1976> Typos_King, and it will run in a "not installed" instance of FF?  Just seems weird
[00:45] <histo> Lajosward: there is an eyecandy / desktop customization section of the forums
[00:45] <freeman> lol
[00:45] <coz_> Lajosward,  graphical?
[00:45] <Lajosward> that coz
[00:45] <Lajosward> at the bottom
[00:45] <bobbo> jeffesquivel, IIRC workspaces exist in UNR, if not it's definitely a bug
[00:45] <histo> Lajosward: there are dock applications to do that.
[00:45] <coz_> Lajosward,  I am not sure what you mean by g
[00:45] <Lajosward> ok ty
[00:45] <aetaric> Alxandr: if i recall, you can't install grub on a fake-raid disk
[00:45] <histo> coz_: he means like the mac doc
[00:46] <coz_> histo,  mm
[00:46] <Alxandr> What?
[00:46] <coz_> Lajosward,  oh an actual dock?
[00:46] <Lajosward> yes
[00:46] <coz_> Lajosward,   cairo dock
[00:46] <Alxandr> Then how can I have the fakeRAID then?
[00:46] <Lajosward> ty
[00:46] <Typos_King> craigbass1976:    no, but you can get the libflashplayer.so file and drop it in the /usr/lib/mozilla plugins folder and that'll do
[00:46] <aetaric> Lajosward: or docky
[00:46] <swat__> ola
[00:46] <histo> Lajosward: there is also avant window navigator and others
[00:46] <Lajosward> either  better or is that a intel amd question?
[00:47] <aetaric> Alxandr: you need to make a partition just for /boot and install grub to that
[00:47] <swat__> brasil
[00:47] <Alxandr> On a separate hdd?
[00:47] <histo> Lajosward: I would see the comments on gnome-look people usually list what they are running to achieve the effect. also the forums
[00:47] <DasEi> is there an easy way to extract the source code (c++) from a tarball ? if I did the configure, is this plain c++ then (if it was written in, sure) ?
[00:47] <swat__> no inge
[00:47] <jeffesquivel> bobbo, they do... but you need to "activate" them (change their number) through gconf-editor
[00:48] <bobbo> sory to anyone I'm helping but I gotta go to bed
[00:48] <jeffesquivel> bobbo, and I can't get the applet (so I can change workspaces using the mouse, not just the keyboard shortcut)
[00:48] <DasEi> !br | swat_
[00:48] <aetaric> Alxandr: it can be the disk as the fake-raid. i normally make a 200MB ext3 /boot partition
[00:48] <jeffesquivel> bobbo, ok, good night... thanks!
[00:48] <histo> DasEi: it should be after youe xtract the tar should be plain c
[00:48] <bobbo> goodnight all, if you need to contact me I'm at bobbo [at] ubuntu [dot] com
[00:48] <DasEi> histo: thanks, trying
[00:48] <Typos_King> DasEi:     chances are, it's, just unzip it or untar it:)
[00:48] <aetaric> my god i've forgotten how to use english >.<
[00:48] <DasEi> yup
[00:48] <histo> bobbo: huh?
[00:49] <Alxandr> aetaric: How do I set that up? I choose to enable the fakeraid-controller in the installation of ubuntu before selecting partitions...
[00:49] <Typos_King> heheh
[00:49] <Lajosward> how can i reg my name on this ?
[00:49] <histo> bobbo: how do you have a ubuntu.com mail address?
[00:49] <histo> !register > Lajosward
[00:49] <coz_> Lajosward,   type   /msg nickserv help
[00:49] <Typos_King> histo:    anti-spider-eavesdropping email I gather heheh
[00:49] <IdleOne> histo: bobbo is an ubuntu/member
[00:50] <aetaric> Alxandr: you would have to setup a partition in the partition manager before you even get to the copying files stage.
[00:50] <histo> IdleOne: can i pm you?
[00:50] <Lajosward> ty coz that reminded me
[00:50] <Roasted> hay guyz.
[00:50] <coz_> Lajosward,  no problem
[00:50] <IdleOne> histo: sure :)
[00:50] <bobbo> histo, I'm an Ubuntu developer so I've been rewarded with an uber epic email address :P
[00:50] <Alxandr> aetaric: That's ok, but before the partition-stage there is the raid stage....
[00:50] <Roasted> how do I remove a kernel? The newest kernel for jaunty doesnt let my video work.
[00:50] <rdvonz_> histo: You saved me from going into a ballistic rage and possibly throwing my monitor out the window. You are the best! Thank you!
[00:50] <Roasted> histo, whats up? You helped me with wireless the other day.
[00:51] <Alxandr> aetaric: Anyway, can I setup software-raid0 in linux? Than I can just don't use the fakeRAID...
[00:52] <aetaric> Alxandr: yeah you can setup software raid. just make a /boot partition to boot off of.
[00:52] <Alxandr> But does softwareraid support raid0?
[00:52] <un214> it better
[00:52] <solow> i love how ubuntu handles files as fast
[00:53] <aetaric> i'm not sure. >.<
[00:53] <solow> <3
[00:53] <nDuff> Alxandr, yes
[00:54] <Alxandr> Any guid of how to install my server and setup raid0 (software-raid)?
[00:54] <nDuff> Alxandr, ...though why you'd consider halving your MTBF just to get some extra speed unless you're doing video editing is a different discussion
[00:54] <histo> rdvonz_: np
[00:54] <histo> Roasted: hola
[00:54] <histo> Roasted: what type of video card?
[00:54] <Alxandr> nDuff: I'm not sertain of whata you mean...
[00:55] <Roasted> histo, There's an ATI sticker on it - that's all I know.
[00:55] <histo> Roasted: did you try going to System > admin > hardware drivers?
[00:55] <magicianlord> hey money
[00:55] <Roasted> histo, I had to use jaunty on it since karmic cant handle the wireless on it. I have the .14 kernel and it works (or .11 or something). If I go to the newest kernel I get nothing.
[00:55] <magicianlord> what
[00:55] <magicianlord> what's cookin?
[00:55] <Roasted> histo, let me boot back into the other kernel and check it out. Im 99% positive the only restricted driver available was a modem driver.
[00:55] <magicianlord> im using karmic
[00:55] <histo> Roasted: how did you install the drivers in .11
[00:55] <magicianlord> on dell mini 9
[00:56] <magicianlord> any questions, let me know
[00:56] <Roasted> histo, what drivers? I didn't install anything on .11
[00:56] <nDuff> Alxandr, MTBF -- mean time between failure; you're setting yourself up to lose data if either of two drives fails, meaning you're twice as likely to have a random failure as only one non-RAIDed drive
[00:56] <histo> !ati | Roasted
[00:56] <Moshpet> Trying to figure out what to do with a grub error
[00:56] <histo> Roasted: using the proper driver will solve most of yoru issues
[00:56] <bobbo> Moshpet, what Grub error number?
[00:56] <histo> Roasted: the other option is to just remove the .14 kernel and lock it at the .11 or whatever works
[00:57] <Roasted> histo, I think I may do that... just remove the newer driver. First le tme see if drivers are available.
[00:57] <histo> Roasted: to figure otu what ati card you have try lspci | grep VGA
[00:57] <Moshpet> It didn't give me a number, it just gives a command line with grub infront of it.
[00:57] <Alxandr> nDuff: Well. Problem is, I have 2 drives that isn't too big.. But I might make it with what I have though :-)
[00:57] <frybye> danes_ no part time jobs your end.. this needs to go into ##foobar&grill though
[00:57] <dailystruggle> does anyone know yum
[00:57] <magicianlord> yes, i do
[00:57] <histo> Roasted: pay special attention to the if your card is newer or older in the fglrx section of the wiki
[00:57] <Alxandr> nDuff: So, for now I just install into 1 disk? And separate out a /boot partition on its own?
[00:57] <histo> !anyone > dailystruggle
[00:57] <magicianlord> what is your question
[00:58] <Wren88> Out of the many linux distros I've used Ubuntu is the friendliest
[00:58] <pvl1> has anyone gotten android source to compile on 9.10
[00:58] <aetaric> Alxandr: if you use just one disc, don't bother
[00:58] <magicianlord> ubuntu is the friendliest
[00:58] <magicianlord> however, 9.10 is hte strongest release
[00:58] <Roasted> histo, the only hardware drivers are alternate atheros madwifi driver and software modem. :(
[00:58] <magicianlord> i think we need to provide feedback to the developers on 10.04
[00:58] <un214> yum: a word we say when food tastes good
[00:59] <magicianlord> they made an awful choice of usplash and window themes
[00:59] <Wren88> Centos is not too user friendly even for a sysadmin
[00:59] <aetaric> Roasted: install madwifi?
[00:59] <Alxandr> aetaric: One disk isnt' big enough to all that I need on the server. But it shouldn't be too big a problem to maintain the OS on one disk.
[00:59] <pvl1> magicianlord, idk i was really please with like 9.04. i got ticked off at a few chanegs in 9.10
[00:59] <nDuff> Alxandr, if your problem is capacity, not speed, you might consider using LVM; an unstriped LV spanning two PVs will give you the capacity you're looking for, but with a better chance of data being recoverable in the case of a failure than if everything had been striped.
[00:59] <Roasted> aetaric, I'm dealing with a graphics issue - not the wifi issue. That's a whole other story in itself.
[00:59] <magicianlord> pvl1: i understand. however, 9.10 is faster and more stable
[00:59] <magicianlord> ext4 is better implemented
[00:59] <pvl1> magicianlord, in that id probably agree
[00:59] <Roasted> magic_ninja420, than what? 9.04?
[00:59] <Roasted> errrr not magic_ninja420
[00:59] <histo> rossco: did you get the link for the wiki
[00:59] <Roasted> magicianlord,
[00:59] <magicianlord> i primarily used crunchbang 9.04
[01:00] <histo> Roasted: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto#ATI%20%28fglrx%29
[01:00] <Alxandr> nDuff: Thank you, will do.
[01:00] <pvl1> magicianlord, crunchbang?
[01:00] <magicianlord> and now use 9.10 gnome on this pc, along with archbang (arch with openbox) on another
[01:00] <histo> magicianlord: 10.04 is really fast
[01:00] <magicianlord> yes
[01:00] <histo> pvl1: crunchbang is a custom ubuntu distro running openbox
[01:00] <pvl1> oh
[01:00] <magicianlord> crunchbang is jaunty with openbox
[01:00] <pvl1> kewl
[01:00] <nDuff> Alxandr, ...also, as long as you use LVM, you can install on just one drive now, and expand the VG and LV to include another drive later when you need more space
[01:00] <histo> pvl1: #!
[01:00] <Roasted> histo, its a radeon xpress 200m
[01:00] <dailystruggle> magicianlord: what did I get cesured because I said anyone?
[01:01] <magicianlord> dailystruggle: floodbot probably
[01:01] <histo> Roasted: then you follow this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[01:01] <magicianlord> need a censure update
[01:01] <magicianlord> needs
[01:01] <Alxandr> nDuff: That means if I buy new drive and pop it in, I can expand to that too later?
[01:01] <nDuff> Alxandr, yup
[01:01] <magicianlord> i do think 10.04 is fast
[01:02] <dailystruggle> magicianlord: it was from histo
[01:02] <magicianlord> but whether its faster than 9.10, i dont know yet
[01:02] <Crash2108> BIOS says "cannot find drive 1"
[01:02] <magicianlord> oh ok
[01:02] <Alxandr> nDuff: "Amount of volume group to use for guided partitioning:"?
[01:02] <thisguykills> Hi, what program do I need to install screenlets?
[01:02] <aetaric> all?
[01:02] <histo> Roasted: or you can try using envyng to install appropriate drivers
[01:02] <histo> !envy > Roasted
[01:03] <nDuff> Alxandr, I'm not very familiar with the current installer, but I'd presume that would be asking if you wanted to leave unallocated space in the volume group
[01:03] <dailystruggle> magicianlord: is there a good resource for yum that you know of
[01:03] <Roasted> histo, maybe Ill try envy-ng. I forgot that was still around.
[01:03] <thisguykills> does anyone know?
[01:03] <histo> thisguykills: sudo apt-get install screenlets
[01:03] <thisguykills> ok thanks
[01:03] <pvl1> ive recently installed backtraack, so ima be learning that. but i run ubunyu almost exclusivly on all my pc's
[01:03] <nDuff> Alxandr, ...that can be useful if you want to use features like snapshots, but from what I understand of your use case, it's probably not what you're looking to do here.
[01:03] <histo> Roasted: well its updated
[01:03] <histo> Roasted: envy was never supported but envy-ng is i guess. I haven't played with it in ages.
[01:03] <magicianlord> dailystruggle: there should be a wiki on yum use, or you can always look up the manual in terminal by typing "man yum"
[01:04] <histo> pvl1: well you'll find linux is pretty much linus
[01:04] <histo> pvl1: just different package managers and versions of packages etc...
[01:04] <pvl1> yeah
[01:04] <dailystruggle> magicianlord: I did that
[01:04] <histo> pvl1: you can do all the stuff on backtrack on ubuntu
[01:04] <pvl1> ive been playing with linux since ive been like 12
[01:04] <magicianlord> not enough for you?
[01:04] <histo> pvl1: they jsut put all the tools in one nice place.
[01:04] <pvl1> histo, i know, but its preinstalled with all that, and i dont wanna be root on this ubunut all the time bc i got fiels here
[01:05] <histo> dailystruggle: what are you trying to do with yum?
[01:05] <pvl1> histo, im sure once i learn lots bout backtrack ima just do w.e i wanna on bt, on ubuntu
[01:05] <dailystruggle> magicianlord: no the practical uses like update and repolist are very diff
[01:05] <magicianlord> ok dailystruggle
[01:05] <dailystruggle> manage a server
[01:05] <magicianlord> in that case, sorry
[01:05] <histo> dailystruggle: is it a fedora server?
[01:05] <dailystruggle> centos
[01:06] <_EnigmaCJ> is this an english room?
[01:06] <magicianlord> i am only familiar with the client userend of yum
[01:06] <histo> dailystruggle: #centos channel would probably be a great help
[01:06] <pvl1> _EnigmaCJ, yup
[01:06] <dailystruggle> thanks
[01:06] <zvacet> _enig
[01:06] <magicianlord> the only thing i can tell you though, is that yum is very slow on solid state drives, compared to, for example, apt or pacman
[01:06] <_EnigmaCJ> cause i wanted to ask if someone could help me install an xchat theme
[01:06] <magicianlord> fyi
[01:06] <histo> _EnigmaCJ: yes its english room
[01:06] <magicianlord> _EnigmaCJ: from termial: sudo apt-get install xchat
[01:07] <histo> _EnigmaCJ: /j #xchat
[01:07] <magicjoe> can someone help me reinstall my sound card?
[01:07] <histo> magicjoe: what do you mean reinstall?
[01:07] <histo> magicjoe: the drivers are loaded by the kernel
[01:07] <magicjoe> well, it was working....now its not
[01:07] <_EnigmaCJ> Like i wanted to change my xchat theme
[01:07] <pvl1> _EnigmaCJ, y cant u install it
[01:07] <magicjoe> its not recognized any more
[01:07] <pvl1> _EnigmaCJ, do u already have the theme u want
[01:07] <_EnigmaCJ> yep
[01:07] <histo> magicjoe: what do you mean its not recognized anymore? by what application?
[01:08] <magicianlord> magicjoe and i are brothers
[01:08] <pvl1> _EnigmaCJ, i believe u just gotta move it to ~~/.xchat2/ (/home/username/.xchat2
[01:08] <pvl1> * ~/.xchat2/ (/home/username/.xchat2
[01:08] <magicjoe> when i go to system preferences sound
[01:08] <_EnigmaCJ> let me see
[01:08] <magicjoe> the hardware tab
[01:08] <pvl1> _EnigmaCJ, just ~/.xchat2
[01:08] <magicjoe> doesn't show my sound card
[01:08] <magicianlord> im glad that pulseaudio is now working properly in linux
[01:08] <magicianlord> for hte most part
[01:09] <magicianlord> took a few updates, eh
[01:09] <solexious> How can I empty all trash folders from anywhere on my system from the command line?
[01:09] <histo> magicianlord: its still a pita with a lot of stuff.
[01:09] <_EnigmaCJ> pvl1: ok, I'll restart xchat, thanx
[01:09] <pvl1> magicjoe, y do u need it
[01:09] <pvl1> _EnigmaCJ, np
[01:09] <magicianlord> i know, histo
[01:09] <histo> !sound | magicjoe
[01:09] <magicjoe> because i don't get ANY sound
[01:09] <magicjoe> lol
[01:09] <schlaftier> Is there a gstreamer plugin for Youtube videos, i.e. H.264? I haven't been able to figure it out despite some people saying they have got HTML5+Youtube working in Midori and Epiphany?
[01:09] <magicianlord> at least it's close to sound quality in windows now
[01:09] <pvl1> solexious, u cant do all at once, but u can slelect multiple dirs to rm
[01:09] <magicianlord> on my netbook
[01:10] <pvl1> magicianlord, im ont a netbook!
[01:10] <Miraculix_> hi, im running ubuntu 9.10 on a system that only has ubuntu, and grub wont show to allow me to select a kernel to boot, it just boots the latest one or something, how can i make grub wait and let me choose the kernel?
[01:10] <magicianlord> although, i would like to know how to install the latest realtek drivers into the kernel
[01:10] <valentinex> I cannot install google gears it says linux firefox type not supported something like that error :(
[01:10] <histo> schlaftier: are you looking for flash?
[01:10] <pvl1> magicjoe, open a terminal and type alsamixer
[01:10] <solow> Is it a bug that the show desktop doesnt work? :P it throws up some screens, and than goes down.
[01:10] <magicianlord> show desktop should work
[01:10] <solow> hide
[01:10] <solow> sorry
[01:10] <pvl1> Miraculix_, what version of grub
[01:10] <_EnigmaCJ> here i'm back
[01:10] <_EnigmaCJ> well nothing happen
[01:10] <histo> magicianlord: well they are probably loaded as a module not built in the kernel
[01:11] <pvl1> valentinex, sorry google doesnt support linux for googl gears
[01:11] <magicjoe> when i double click the volume control, it just says 100% dummy output
[01:11] <pvl1> _EnigmaCJ, hold on a sec
[01:11] <schlaftier> histo: no, I'm explicitly looking for the non-Flash Youtube (the HTML5 Beta). Flash works but is so resource hungry I'd like to get HTML5 video working
[01:11] <Miraculix_> the one that comes with 9.10, grub2 i suppose cause there's no /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:11] <solow> It says click here to restore hidden windows. while i have all windows maximized and want them to minimize.
[01:11] <_EnigmaCJ> ok thnx anyway
[01:11] <magicianlord> thanks histo
[01:11] <histo> schlaftier: ahh
[01:11] <pvl1> magicjoe, did u load alsa mixer?
[01:11] <magicjoe> where do i select file, change device?
[01:11] <pvl1> *alsamixer
[01:11] <valentinex> pvl1: but at their site it is written that linux is supported :(
[01:11] <magicianlord> alsamixer owns the WORLD
[01:11] <_EnigmaCJ> I'll be right back
[01:11] <magicianlord> lol
[01:11] <pvl1> valentinex, link me
[01:11] <xangua> schlaftier: have you tried with chromium/chrome¿
[01:12] <magicianlord> i love going through three hunder sliders to set my sound
[01:12] <schlaftier> histo: but apparently there are licensing issues with the codec chosen by Youtube
[01:12] <Typos_King> Miraculix:   increase the timer in /boot/grub/grub.cfg    bear in mind that file gets updated using the template at /etc/defaults/grub
[01:12] <magicianlord> hundred
[01:12] <magicjoe> it says no such file or directory
[01:12] <histo> schlaftier: figures
[01:12] <Miraculix_> Typos_King, yeah it says not to edit that file :D
[01:12] <magicjoe> just 'alsamixer'?
[01:12] <valentinex> pvl1: Gears is available for             Windows,             Windows Mobile,             Mac OS Tiger/Leopard,             Mac OS Snow Leopard,             Linux and             Android.
[01:12] <pvl1> magicjoe, u just typed alsamixer
[01:12] <histo> schlaftier: but they are google so i'm sure it will be somewhat open soon
[01:12] <Miraculix_> i increased the timeout via startup-manager, still no good though
[01:12] <magicianlord> hey
[01:12] <magicjoe> yep
[01:12] <valentinex> pvl1: http://gears.google.com/
[01:12] <Typos_King> Miraculix:   well, I do... so, obviously you can :P
[01:12] <magicianlord> does anyone know how to get open gl working kega fusion 3.63?
[01:12] <schlaftier> xangua: I'd rather not install nor use Chromium
[01:13] <pvl1> magicjoe, type sudo apt-get install alsamixer
[01:13] <magicianlord> what's wrong with chromium?
[01:13] <Roasted> histo, any idea where envy-ng shows up when you download it?
[01:13] <magicianlord> you should support google
[01:13] <Guest94074> hello
[01:13] <xangua> schlaftier: then no html5 youtube for you :(
[01:13] <magicianlord> they are taking a stand against hte chinese oppressive regime
[01:13] <magicianlord> this is an important cause lol
[01:13] <magicjoe> couldn't find package?
[01:13] <schlaftier> xangua: that's a bummer
[01:13] <Typos_King> Miraculix:   but whenever it gets update, once in a blue moon?,  it uses the template and if you make the changes in the template, then whenver that happens it'll be there
[01:13] <_EnigmaCJ> back
[01:13] <pvl1> valentinex, http://code.google.com/apis/gears/gears_faq.html#linuxCompatible
[01:13] <aetaric> Guest94074: please tell me you aren't using irc as root
[01:14] <_EnigmaCJ> i looked up on google
[01:14] <Miraculix_> Typos_King, there;s a lot of "timeout" strings in that file
[01:14] <pvl1> _EnigmaCJ, check ur ~/.xchat2 dir see whats in there. amybe it should be just ~/.xchat
[01:14] <magicianlord> he is lol
[01:14] <histo> Roasted: no mabye applications > system tools   ?
[01:14] <pvl1> magicjoe, hold on a sev
[01:14] <magicjoe> ok
[01:14] <Miraculix_> Typos_King, only 1 of them has the 15 second value i put, the rest are -1, 0 etc
[01:14] <histo> Roasted: I know I saw a gtk frontend for it.
[01:14] <_EnigmaCJ> pvl1 : mine is just xchat
[01:14] <Alxandr> nDuff: TY. I think I've figured it out now.
[01:15] <_EnigmaCJ> not xchat2
[01:15] <Airris> hi again : working on new computer, and new problems!
[01:15] <magicianlord> intel video drivers are integrated into hte kernel, right?
[01:15] <schlaftier> xangua: people report HTML5 Youtube on WebkitGTK browsers though but I don't seem to find the right gstreamer plugin
[01:15] <pvl1> _EnigmaCJ, then move the theme files into that folder
[01:15] <Typos_King> Miraculix:   right....the ones you'd see are in IFs..... sooo  yeah. 15.... that'd be it :)
[01:15] <_EnigmaCJ> I already tryied
[01:15] <_EnigmaCJ> without success
[01:15] <histo> Roasted: envyng-gtk ina a terminal should bring it up
[01:15] <pvl1> is there anything else in that folder?
[01:15] <histo> Roasted: or hitting alt+F2
[01:15] <_EnigmaCJ> it just changes the font colors but it should look like this: wait
[01:16] <_EnigmaCJ> http://t0x.in/images/xcdt-scr01.png
[01:16] <Airris> Things were going ok until I put the Nvidia official drivers it recommended and then uhhh. The screen periodically flashes black for a split second
[01:16] <magicianlord> Airris: did you install nvidia drivers from jockey or pac manager?
[01:16] <magicianlord> jockey is almost useless
[01:16] <Typos_King> Miraculix:   the part where it goes too fast it won't give you a choice is cuz between the poweron and the boot screen, I think grub2 counts that for the timer, so by the time you get there, the10secs which is the default won't give enough time, I changed it to 30
[01:16] <patrick__> does anyone know how to configure compiz so i can command tab to cycle thru open applications? (not windows) as in osx?
[01:17] <pvl1> patrick__, edit the key bindidings in ccsm
[01:17] <Airris> magicianlord: I clicked on that icon near top right of GUI that popped up, is that jockey?
[01:17] <aetaric> patrick__: there is a compiz plugin manager
[01:17] <Typos_King> Miraculix:   unless you have a lightning fast poweron and boot screen period :)
[01:17] <histo> patrick__: hit <windows key> tab
[01:17] <magicianlord> Airris: yes, thats the frontend for it
[01:17] <magicianlord> that doesnt properly install
[01:17] <histo> !ccsm | patrick__
[01:17] <_EnigmaCJ> i'm back
[01:17] <nDuff> magicianlord, the only video drivers included in the kernel proper are framebuffer drivers, which aren't exactly high-performance
[01:17] <ardchoille> My friend wants to know how to get her webcam hooked up so empathy can streamit.
[01:17] <magicianlord> use synaptic package manager to install the nvidia drivers
[01:18] <ardchoille> she has the cam installed and empathy installed
[01:18] <histo> ardchoille: plug it in.
[01:18] <histo> ardchoille: then it should work.
[01:18] <ardchoille> histo: doesn't seem to be doing anything after that
[01:18] <_EnigmaCJ> pvl1: thanks, it didnt work but it is not such important
[01:18] <Airris> magicianlord: hmm, that's odd, but ok, so just do apt-get for the relevant package?
[01:18] <magicianlord> nDuff: so the intel drivers installed by ubuntu are supplmentary, outside the main kernel?
[01:18] <magicianlord> supplementary
[01:18] <_EnigmaCJ> wow I like to talk on english rooms
[01:18] <histo> ardchoille: i've noticed my friends show up with little cam icons next to their name if they are availible for video chat.
[01:19] <patrick__> pvll aetaric histo i have that, I just was wondering which effect does open apps, rather than windows, and i cant seem to assign the keystroke command tab. only command and button 1-9
[01:19] <pvl1> _idk. i think it should work fine
[01:19] <pvl1> ** _EnigmaCJ
[01:19] <ardchoille> histo: she is trying to get her webcamto work in empathy, so far empathy has bo way of connecting to the cam
[01:19] <patrick__> also if scale and expo can be used at the same time
[01:19] <nDuff> magicianlord, X11 (the windowing system) is _entirely_ separate from the kernel
[01:19] <magicianlord> what im asking is
[01:19] <_EnigmaCJ> pvl1, ;)
[01:20] <histo> ardchoille: I've noticed people on google seem to have cams show up on my list
[01:20] <Airris> very stupid question to just double check something : apt-get is a front-end for synaptic?
[01:20] <histo> ardchoille: maybe a yahoo problem?
[01:20] <nDuff> Airris, other way around
[01:20] <ardchoille> histo: Ah, that may be it
[01:20] <magicianlord> Airris: the other way around
[01:21] <Airris> ahhh
[01:21] <Airris> but using either one will work for putting the drivers on *correctly* ?
[01:21] <magicianlord> yes
[01:21] <magicianlord> its just easier in synaptic
[01:21] <aetaric> psh
[01:21] <Miraculix_> Typos_King, no dice even with 30
[01:21] <aetaric> i like apt-get more
[01:21] <magicianlord> i do too
[01:21] <Airris> I've gotten to accustomed to commandline
[01:21] <magicianlord> but for installing drivers
[01:21] <Airris> so much source code compiling
[01:21] <magicianlord> you have to know your poopie
[01:21] <magicianlord> lol
[01:22] <magicianlord> fo real, dawg
[01:22] <meoblast001> hi
[01:22] <magicianlord> i use apt for most things
[01:22] <meoblast001> i setup a new system
[01:22] <patrick__> what are buttons 4-9 in compiz config for bindings?
[01:22] <meoblast001> it says Broadcom B43 drivers installed in the driver manager
[01:22] <magicianlord> except removing old kernals or installing drivers
[01:22] <Airris> yea, maybe i'll use synaptic this time. Ok thanks
[01:22] <patrick__> I know 1-3 are mouse buttons
[01:22] <Airris> if this solves the problem i'll be quite happy
[01:22] <meoblast001> iwconfig shows it works
[01:22] <Typos_King> Miraculix:   can you paste grub.cfg?   to a pastebin that is
[01:22] <magicianlord> meoblast001: it lies to you
[01:22] <Airris> if not... I'll be back in here in 10 minutes :P
[01:22] <pvl1> patrick__, 4 and 5 are scrolling up and down
[01:22] <meoblast001> but no networks show up in the network manager
[01:22] <Airris> hehe
[01:22] <Miraculix_> sure thing Typos_King
[01:22] <magicianlord> meoblast001: you need to install it from synaptic
[01:22] <meoblast001> magicianlord: i did
[01:22] <magicianlord> or command line
[01:22] <_EnigmaCJ> anyone know some cool irc chats?
[01:22] <patrick__> im trying to assign super+tab, but i only am given the option of command / super and buttons 1-9
[01:23] <magicianlord> oh rly
[01:23] <patrick__> pvl1, thanks for that
[01:23] <magicianlord> not workign for you?
[01:23] <meoblast001> magicianlord: then i restarted to check if it worked, and it didn't, so i checked driver manager
[01:23] <aetaric> _EnigmaCJ: #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:23] <magicianlord> yes?
[01:23] <meoblast001> magicianlord: so i ran iwconfig, and it said there was a device
[01:23] <_EnigmaCJ> aetaric, thanks
[01:23] <pvl1> patrick__, which compiz options are u in
[01:23] <magicianlord> oh
[01:23] <ncfi1013_> what is the best and simplest way to burn .avi files to dvd+r dl discs?
[01:23] <magicianlord> well, installing it shoudl work
[01:23] <meoblast001> magicianlord: everything says it works, but it isn't actually detecting our network
[01:23] <magicianlord> you could also install it from the files on broadcom's site
[01:23] <magicianlord> maybe its a network problem?
[01:24] <Roasted> histo, how do I set it so I boot to .11 by default and no other kernels are in the mix? I don't want to pull down kernels during regular updates or anything, and even if I do, I want .11
[01:24] <meoblast001> what's the network utility for browsing wireless networks?
[01:24] <ante> Hmm. I am having random crashes on my ubuntu server and there's nothing in /var/log/messages that reveals anything... Any hints on how to find the problem?
[01:24] <Roasted> meoblast001, network manager
[01:24] <meoblast001> Roasted: the console one
[01:24] <patrick__> pvl1, currently: static application switcher-next window group bindings
[01:24] <Miraculix_> Typos_King, http://pastebin.com/uAXaaxVR
[01:24] <pvl1> patrick__, hime a sec
[01:24] <magicianlord> meoblast001: on gnome, it is "network manager." on xfce, it's "wicd"
[01:24] <meoblast001> ok, i have the gnome one
[01:25] <meoblast001> it shows nothing for wireless networks
[01:25] <patrick__> pvl1, thank a ton!
[01:25] <solidsnack> I've installed a Debian kernel with `dpkg' to get Xen support; now when I try to install things with `aptitude', it comes up with solutions that remove the Xen kernel.
[01:25] <magicianlord> my butt hurts from sitting in this chair
[01:25] <solidsnack> How can I get it to leave this kernel alone?
[01:26] <jophish> I'm having a bit of a problem using inetd. I can start it up in debug mode, and it reports: "registered /usr/bin/helloworld on 5", however when I try to connect to it from my desktop, I get connection refused.
[01:26] <pvl1> patrick__, are u sure u want the group settings?
[01:27] <patrick__> pvl1, although im not sure if im in the correct panel. I want to use alt-tab to cycle thru all windows on current space (currently working) or all spacs (optimal) and command/super tab to switch btw open applications.
[01:27] <patrick__> pvl1, so im not sure, you tell me
[01:27] <magicianlord> Does anyone know why the gnome power manager setting to shutdown when the power is critical does NOT work? is this a bug?
[01:27] <magicianlord> It has never worked in Ubuntu
[01:27] <jophish> hosts.allow has ALL:<IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS>
[01:27] <Roasted> Does anybody know if Lucid is supposed to have better all around wireless support? I'm curious if there's any documentation on it I could read about, since it seems a few issues have been brought up with Karmic. Curious if any are fixed.
[01:28] <pvl1> patrick__, so u want alt-tab for all windows and super-tab for only open windows?
[01:28] <magicianlord> Roasted: only way to find out for your particular situation is to try it via live usb.
[01:28] <Craig_Dem> Im sure lots of bugs will have been fixed in lucid.
[01:28] <mark_xhtml> hola amigos
[01:28] <magicianlord> i prefer the icon set in karmic
[01:28] <magicianlord> black and white is nice
[01:28] <patrick__> pvl1, no, alt tab for all windows and super tab for all applications
[01:28] <mark_xhtml> hello friend
[01:28] <patrick__> pvl1, is there such a beast?
[01:29] <magicianlord> lol
[01:29] <mark_xhtml> xD
[01:29] <MidComMobile> hey guys
[01:29] <mark_xhtml> what?
[01:29] <magicianlord> hey man
[01:29] <magicianlord> im so happy because
[01:29] <Miraculix_> Typos_King, anything?
[01:29] <mark_xhtml> why?
[01:29] <Roasted> magicianlord, can't. the particular system I'm trying doesn't USB boot - however I tried a liveCD and it seemed VERY buggy, since it would freeze whenever I'd get it fired up. However after 15 tries I managed to try my wireless and Lucid (as of the daily build today) didn't solve the issue.
[01:29] <pvl1> patrick__, im not sure what the difference is. u mean like super tab to open applications?
[01:29] <magicianlord> i bought a pair of $5 koss headphones at walmart
[01:29] <magicianlord> and i thought they would be garbag
[01:29] <magicianlord> but they rock
[01:29] <magicianlord> lol
[01:29] <xangua> !ot | magicianlord
[01:30] <magicianlord> ok xangua, relax
[01:30] <MidComMobile> just installed karmic 9.10 - i made the stupid mistake of using the nvidia drivers in the live environment while i was installing
[01:30] <z449> Anyone grok wireless?  I've got ndiswrapper working (device shows in ndiswrapper -l), iwconfig shows the device (wlan0) and I can apply settings to it, but gnome-network-manager won't let me connect in at all (connect button greyed out)
[01:30] <Typos_King> Miraculix:   http://paste2.org/p/743301
[01:30] <Typos_King> hehe :)
[01:30] <patrick__> pvl1, well, alt tab shows me all open windows, so i can see all windows from all applications, where super tab would switch between apps only. so if an app has multiple windows/panels it will show up as a single icon
[01:30] <xangua> z449: have you installed 'windows xp' drivers thru ndiswrapper¿
[01:30] <patrick__> pvl1, does that make sense?
[01:30] <MidComMobile> so the /etc/X11/xorg.conf expects the nvidia module which isn't there... hence i need to apt-get it.
[01:31] <magicianlord> Would someone make an offiial request to the Lucid developers to use a less fruity usplash animation and less purple?
[01:31] <z449> @xangua yes to installing the windows driver. Found some decent instructions online
[01:31] <magicianlord> Seriously.
[01:31] <pvl1> patrick__, oooh yeah i get u now,  sorry just trying to clear it up
[01:31] <Miraculix_> ah so you mean outside and after all the if/elses?
[01:31] <Typos_King> Miraculix:   sooo, comment out the if/else and instead add your own assignmet
[01:31] <Typos_King> yes
[01:31] <Miraculix_> okeydokey
[01:31] <MidComMobile> the catch is i don't know how to bring up the wireles networking from the command line in ubuntu (i'm on as superuser via sudo -i) and i plugged in a cable, but there is no /dev/eth0 d;
[01:32] <Typos_King> MidComMobile:   http://blog.tplus1.com/index.php/2008/06/13/how-to-connect-to-a-wireless-network-from-the-ubuntu-command-line/
[01:32] <z449> xangua: ndiswrapper -l shows: "bcmwl5 : driver installed \n device (14E4:4319) present (alternate driver: ssb)
[01:32] <Craig_Dem> I think the boot uses Plymouth now instead of usplash. Not sure though.
[01:32] <MidComMobile> Typos_King: :D
[01:33] <magicianlord> Craig_Dem: yes
[01:33] <patrick__> pvl1, dont be sorry for being awesome and trying to help me for free ;-)
[01:33] <melwtech35> when logging in on 9.10 and typing my password, it shows how many characters i have typed in respresented with black circles, how do i makei t so that it doesnt show those black circules
[01:33] <Roasted> So does anybody know if there is a proposed listing of additional wireless support that lucid may bring to the table?
[01:33] <pvl1> patrick__, on the left side when u select like nextwindow and then the keys, theres a mouse and a keyboard icon, correct?
[01:33] <Roasted> Also - if Lucid today march 28th doesnt work with my wireless on my laptop, are there any chances it could work when its finally released?
[01:34] <magicianlord> Roasted: what is your wireless card
[01:34] <Craig_Dem> Nope
[01:34] <Craig_Dem> The freeze will be on.
[01:34] <magicianlord> I had a similar issue.
[01:34] <Roasted> magicianlord, Atheros 2413.
[01:34] <magicianlord> Odd
[01:34] <magicianlord> Ahteros cards are usually supported
[01:34] <magicianlord> Download the driver from their website
[01:34] <Roasted> magicianlord, it works in 8.04.4, 9.04, but not 9.10 or the daily build of 10.04.
[01:34] <magicianlord> Install offline, connect, and reinstall from apt
[01:35] <magicianlord> Or use wire
[01:35] <Roasted> magicianlord, it works out of box... like I can SEE the SSID... but I cant connect to a WPA network - only unsecured networks.
[01:35] <magicianlord> Hmm, I see Roasted
[01:35] <Miraculix_> ok Typos_King lets hope this works, grub.cfg was read only even for root, i hope i changed it for good reason :p
[01:35] <magicianlord> Oh
[01:35] <Roasted> magicianlord, I cant seem to figure it out. Its very frustrating. :(
[01:35] <magicianlord> then that is probably a security module issue
[01:35] <_EnigmaCJ> Bye
[01:35] <Roasted> magicianlord, what would I have to do to fix it?
[01:35] <Typos_King> hehhe
[01:35] <patrick__> pvl1, are we still talking about statci application switcher?
[01:36] <MidComMobile> Typos_King: a) i'll need to use a wpa2 key   b) wlan0: interface does not support scanning, network is down
[01:36] <magicjoe> pvl1???
[01:36] <Miraculix_> godDAMN it didnt work, Typos_King
[01:36] <patrick__> pvl1, static*
[01:36] <magicianlord> I dont know exactly right now to tell you. But when I install the Broadcom drivers, there were instructinos to specify one or the other
[01:36] <magicianlord> installed
[01:36] <Alxandr> Hello again. One last question for tonight. Any god guides as of how to setup virtual servers on my newly installed ubuntu-server?
[01:36] <Miraculix_> >.< im pissed at this grub2 bs :p
[01:36] <MidComMobile> i really should get ubuntu to use my wired just until i am back in X
[01:36] <Alxandr> I added the "Virtual server host" (or something like that) during install.
[01:36] <magicianlord> Miraculix_: how come?
[01:36] <Miraculix_> magicianlord, it wont show me the kernel selection screen, it goes straight into loading the default one
[01:37] <Typos_King> MidComMobile:   tried yet -> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg; ?
[01:37] <MidComMobile> ...
[01:37]  * MidComMobile headdesk
[01:37] <magicianlord> Miraculix_: yes. did that other suggestion from another person here work?
[01:37] <Miraculix_> nope just tried it
[01:37] <Miraculix_> did not work
[01:37] <magicianlord> i c
[01:37] <MidComMobile> Typos_King: i'm a gentoo dude, i din't even know you could do that
[01:37] <magicianlord> that's a bummer
[01:37] <Typos_King> Miraculix:   what about deleting grub.cfg and try to remake it?    sudo update-grub;
[01:37] <magicianlord> lol
[01:38] <Roasted> magicianlord, so if you were in my shoes, where would you go first?
[01:38] <magicianlord> if he does that, he wont be able to boot
[01:38] <Typos_King> MidComMobile:   no dpkg? :)
[01:38] <patrick__> pvl1, AH! ok i get how to bind the keys now, but which one is the efect im looking for?
[01:38] <magicianlord> to the liquor store
[01:38] <melwtech35> when logging in on 9.10 and typing my password, it shows how many characters i have typed in respresented with black circles, how do i makei t so that it doesnt show those black circules
[01:38] <magicianlord> lol jk
[01:38] <pvl1> patrick__, tbh idk. but i thnik group is per application
[01:38] <MidComMobile> Typos_King: gentoo doesn't, no, we write our own config files ;-)
[01:39] <magicianlord> Roasted: i'd contiue researched grub2
[01:39] <magicianlord> researching
[01:39] <demarco> wrestlemania?
[01:39] <Roasted> magicianlord, what relevance does grub2 have to my wireless issue?
[01:39] <MidComMobile> i just tried the command you suggsted, and it works but doesn't change things. i'll just upgraade ubuntu, thanks
[01:39] <magicianlord> lol
[01:39] <magicianlord> oh sorry man
[01:39] <Roasted> wrong tag? :P
[01:39] <magicianlord> yes
[01:39] <xangua> melwtech35: would you like that showed your pasword instead¿¿
[01:40] <demarco> #ubuntustudio
[01:40] <magicianlord> i would install the drivers from the manufacturer
[01:40] <melwtech35> xangua, i would prefer it shows nothing. not even that im typing
[01:40] <Miraculix_> ffs, its like grub doesnt WANT me to choose my own goddamn kernel
[01:40] <ncfi1013_> what is the best and simplest way to burn .avi files to dvd+r double layer discs?
[01:40] <magicianlord> Miraculix_: it knows better, that's why
[01:40] <Miraculix_> update-grub didnt change anything
[01:40] <Alxandr> Found it...
[01:40] <magicianlord> hmm
[01:40] <patrick__> pvl1, okay, group is it. But how can I get it to pull all apps, not just the ones on the current panel?
[01:41] <PeterT> no.
[01:41] <pvl1> patrick__, sec
[01:41] <magicianlord> Does anyone know why Canonical doesn't abolish the awful KDE fork and replace it with Openbox?
[01:41] <PeterT> no.
[01:41] <magicianlord> lol
[01:41] <magicianlord> Seriously man
[01:41] <PeterT> jk
[01:42] <magicianlord> We've got all the good ideas right here
[01:42] <patrick__> magicianlord, you can go ask in #kubuntu
[01:42] <patrick__> ;-)
[01:42] <magicianlord> ok patrick
[01:42] <Roasted> magicianlord, I heard a lot of talk about ath5k... the newer madwifi driver. Know anything about it?
[01:42] <magicianlord> I'd be very popular there
[01:42] <melwtech35> when logging in on 9.10 and typing my password, it shows how many characters i have typed in represented with black circles, how do i make it so that it doesnt show those black circles, i.e i dont want people seeing how many characters im entering
[01:42] <magicianlord> lol
[01:42] <Miraculix_> so, anyone else have any ides on how to get grub2 to show me a kernel selection screen?
[01:42] <magicianlord> Roasted: nope. not without further research
[01:43] <magicianlord> replace it with grub 1?
[01:43] <magicianlord> or lilo
[01:43] <patrick__> magicianlord, I tried to love it, cause its so beautiful-KDE. but i just dont get it. too strange, i dont like all the KDE apps
[01:44] <luciano_> 091080
[01:44] <magicianlord> its very disorganized and bloated and inefficient
[01:44] <pvl1> patrick__, i think it does it from all viewoirts already if thats what u mean
[01:44] <magicianlord> i don understand why it has support
[01:45] <hmw> what is a good tutorial-like web page, explaining how to optimize for a netbook? (low ram + ssd lifetime)
[01:45] <sobczyk> hi is there a way to add patch to alsa drivers module? I have sound but chopped off high and low tones, and it seems my codec is added to 2.6.34 (realtek alc665)
[01:45] <magicianlord> hmw
[01:45] <magicianlord> i use linux primary on netbooks
[01:45] <pvl1> magicianlord, same
[01:46] <patrick__> pvl1, it does not- only for current workspace
[01:46] <magicianlord> you mainly want to edit fstab to use relatime or noatime, do not use a swap file, and a couple tweaks to apps like firefox
[01:47] <hmw> what should i be looking after, magicianlord pvl1, or what to remove? 500MB RAM wanna save on active processes, too
[01:47] <patrick__> pvl1, in shift switcher at least-
[01:47] <pvl1> patrick__, yeah i have no idea. ur on ur own =P google around
[01:47] <magicianlord> low ram?
[01:47] <magicianlord> disable bluetooth, visual assistance, logging
[01:47] <magicianlord> update notifier
[01:48] <pvl1> or use xfce
[01:48] <magicianlord> you can get ubuntu to run at 100mb base
[01:48] <magicianlord> or 65mb with arch
[01:48] <pvl1> wow
[01:48] <magicianlord> i found that xfce isnt really all that much faster
[01:48] <magicianlord> it seems like it would be, but its neglible
[01:48] <hmw> I disabled bluetooth in the services window, guess that's enough? i did disable the rest... cron does call some motd-updater, gotta look there too
[01:48] <randomuser200> hey I have a DYNEX wireless dongle, is there a way to have it be an AP for wireless access?
[01:49] <sandra_> anyone know wehther gnome do runs in xfce?
[01:49] <pnp0> I migrated my ubuntu installation to a larger hard disk. The filesystem UUID and root name changed as a result. Whenever a new kernel update is installed, the grub.conf file is written using the old UUID and root device name.  How can I fix this?
[01:49] <pvl1> magicianlord, well what is fasterthen
[01:49] <un214> pnp0: that's when a rewrote every config file removing hte UUID
[01:49] <pvl1> randomuser200, if u can run it in master mode yeah
[01:49] <hmw> what will happen, if my computer with 500MB RAM runs without swap? what would i have to expect?
[01:50] <pvl1> pnp0, which grub, 1 or 2
[01:50] <magicianlord> hww: in startup apps, disable bluetooth, check for new drivers, print queue applet, update notifier, use folders update, and visual assistance (in karmic)
[01:50] <melwtech35> when logging in on 9.10 and typing my password, it shows how many characters i have typed in represented with black circles, how do i make it so that it doesnt show those black circles, i.e i dont want people seeing how many characters im entering
[01:50] <pnp0> pvl1: grub 1 on ubuntu 9.10
[01:50] <hp_> hi
[01:50] <hmw> magicianlord: thanks... i turn these off on my desktops, too LOL
[01:50] <randomuser200> pvl1: how would i do that in ubuntu 9.10?
[01:50] <magicianlord> hp_: wutup money?
[01:50] <patrick__> pvl1, lol thanks anyways! you got me 99% of the way there
[01:50] <rdz11> Hi, what is the name of the command that is executed when you press ALT + F2 on the keyboard?
[01:51] <pvl1> pnp0, run grub-configure or something like that
[01:51] <magicianlord> haha hmw
[01:51] <hmw> magicianlord: how well will ubunut run in half a meg without swap?
[01:51] <hp_> i need to compress avi file to fit on a dvd de or something like that does anyone know
[01:51] <pvl1> randomuser200, tbh i have no idea. theres an ubuntu guide at the ubuntu wiki for it, i reember seeing it
[01:51] <pvl1> patrick__, np
[01:51] <magicianlord> it runs very well with 512mb with no swap on my dell mini 9
[01:51] <pvl1> hp_, vlc

[01:53] <hmw> magicianlord: alright, need to look up the fstab stuff you mentioned... will be testing it soon... how should I verify, that "nothing" is writing to the disk? (logs, etc)
[01:53] <pvl1> sandra_, depends on how much ubuntu
[01:53] <Aquina> Never heard about that, magicanlord but I guess it isn't something reasonable.
[01:53] <sandra_> pvl1, iz it xoobuntoo?

[01:56] <rixxy> histo:thanks!
[01:56] <xangua> sandra_: in xubuntu you will need to install mono (and maybe gnome) dependencies
[01:56] <hmw> magicianlord: Because Windows is for capitalists running DOS.
[01:56] <magicianlord> i used it with 1gb also, no difference in performance
[01:56] <histo> rixxy: how are you making the scores?
[01:57] <rdz11> Hi, what is the name of the command that is executed when you press ALT + F2 on the keyboard?
[01:57] <timyeung> where do the notes get stored from tomboy notes? I know its a hidden file in the home folder right?
[01:57] <rixxy> histo: what do you mean?

[01:59] <casemods> Hello. I have 2 iso's of ubuntu - both are the desktop and not "alternative" - one is AMD, and one is intel (i386). I currently have the intel version installed on my dads intel machine and would like to install the AMD version on my machine (again). what is the first step to installing inside windows?
[01:59] <un214> how abou the slack space of /bin/sh
[01:59] <randomuser200> how do i check what drivers im useing for this DYNEX DX-WPGUSB dongle?
[01:59] <rdz11> coz_: no, after I upgraded to 10.04 ALT +F2 is not working, and I'm trying to add a launcher to one of the panels with that command
[01:59] <histo> timyeung: yeah if you open your ~ in gnome and hit ctrl+h it will show hidden files probably .tomboy folder
[01:59] <Flannel> casemods: Boot windows, insert the disk, run wubi (should autorun when you doubleclik the CD)
[01:59] <coz_> rdz11,  ah I see
[01:59] <DasEi> timyeung: I don't use tomboy, but if you press ctrl-h in nautilus, can see hiiden files as well
[01:59] <rixxy> histo: I am installing now
[01:59] <randomuser200> kgs: ho hai
[01:59] <casemods> Flannel: do I need to install on CD or will DVD work?
[02:00] <coz_> rdz11,  is an upgrade called for on your installaton instead of a clean install?
[02:00] <iceroot> rdz11: /join #ubuntu+1 fpr 10.04 support
[02:00] <randomuser200> kgs: is there a way to check what drivers i am useing for my DYNEX DX-WGPUSB dongle?
[02:00] <magicianlord> casemods: why dont you boot the cd prior to loading windows? hit escape or something else to boot from dvd
[02:00] <magicianlord> or cd
[02:00] <Flannel> casemods: The DVD might work, yeah.
[02:00] <timyeung> DasEi, histo yeah i know about ctrl-h but .tomboy isn't it. I guess i'll just poke around until i find it
[02:00] <coz_> rdz11,  generally upgrading from release to beta  is not a good idea
[02:00] <bsmith093>  help please when i click the username in the gnome panel there are a bunch of other usernames in the dropdown list as well
[02:01] <snxs> i have conky to display my upload and download stats of con eth0 ,  is it normal to constantly be uploading ?? even when im not doing nothing ?
[02:01] <bsmith093> any suggestions
[02:01] <coz_> bsmith093,  like which names?
[02:01] <casemods> magicianlord: the DVD doesn't seem to be able to boot for some reason.
[02:01] <magicianlord> oh ok
[02:01] <Flannel> timyeung: check ~/.local/share/tomboy
[02:01] <sobczyk> what is the kernel source package name
[02:01] <DasEi> casemods: I won't recommend wubi, if you can't (want) install 'nativ , I suggest use sth. like virtualbox
[02:01] <bsmith093> coz_ nobody backup man proxy root sys
[02:02] <bsmith093> and some others
[02:02] <Flannel> DasEi: There's absolutely no reason to use Virtualbox over wubi
[02:02] <timyeung> Flannel, thank you very much
[02:02] <casemods> DasEi: I already had ubuntu replace windows, but the internet stopped working - I was unable to access the modem via 198.x.x.x - I need to have windows as a backup this time in case something like that happens again
[02:02] <DasEi> Flannel: defrag ? recovering / repair ? support ?
[02:03] <Flannel> DasEi: Wubi is supported
[02:03] <rdz11> coz_: it was an upgrade, from 9.10 to 10.04 (on a Dell machine), I followed the instructions to upgrade to the beta version. There are other things that doesn't seem to be working, like the media hotkeys on my laptop, but that's another issue.
[02:03] <bsmith093> i think i accidentally enabled some user swithching
[02:03] <bsmith093> or something help please
[02:03] <DasEi> Flannel: I'll come on this ot at  some time, k for now :)
[02:04] <coz_> rdz11,  that doesn surprise me  ...upgrading is sometimes touchy   that's why i asked if it was necesasry  to upgrade instead of just a clean install
[02:04] <pvl1> pnp0, u gotta reconfig grub. im lookin for a guide
[02:05] <pvl1> pnp0, try sudo /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda
[02:05] <pvl1> pnp0, adapt to ur needs
[02:05] <pnp0> pvl1: Thanks. Will give it a try.
[02:05] <coz_> rdz11,  if possible...I would back up anything you want to keep,,,download the live cd for Lucid  then clean install  but I would take this up in the #ubuntu+1 channel for Lucid
[02:06] <magicianlord> I'd recommend not upgrading to Lucid right now, until final release.
[02:06] <magicianlord> I know it's tempting.
[02:06] <rdz11> coz_: :) ok, no it was not necessary, I always do them though... I like the new look and feel of it, and like the window min, max buttons to the left too ;)
[02:06] <un214> it was really stable in the alphas but got worse in the betas
[02:06] <magicianlord> At this point, 9.10 is still most stable an quick for me.
[02:07] <magicianlord> un214: yea?
[02:07] <coz_> rdz11,  understood..but you would be much happier with all of that with a clean install :)
[02:07] <un214> when they tried to bring the nouveau driver through by default
[02:07] <un214> my system ran better with the vesa driver which is somehow now broke
[02:08] <coz_> also buttons on the left are great for left handed people only or mac users :)
[02:08] <arand> !lucid
[02:08] <snake_> i've figured out how to make the terminal use the colors showed in the terminal profile preferences, but i want the $ps1 to be red when i do sudo -s.. anyone know how to do that?
[02:08] <Guest20651> how do i figure out if my laptop is x64 or x86
[02:09] <un214> snake_ you put escape codes into it
[02:09] <magicianlord> Guest20651: processor type
[02:09] <un214> guest2065: uname -r
[02:09] <SmartSsa> Anybody know how to make gnome-terminal always open up at a different size other than default (80x24)
[02:09] <magicianlord> and type uname -a
[02:09] <un214> oops -a
[02:09] <blakkheim> it's uname -r
[02:09] <blakkheim> :/
[02:09] <blakkheim> no that's the kernel my bad
[02:09] <psusi> snake_, the root@foo isnt enough? ;)
[02:09] <blakkheim> Guest20651: uname -m
[02:10] <Guest20651> $andrew -a         command not found
[02:10] <rdz11> coz_: I guess so :) ... thanks for your support, I have other questions that I will be throwing here during the night ;)
[02:10] <snake_> SmartSsa, ooh, go to your regular terminal and type "gnome-terminal --help"
[02:10] <snake_> and it should be in there
[02:10] <coz_> rdz11, cool :)
[02:10] <blakkheim> Guest20651: type "uname -m"
[02:10] <snake_> then just add it to your launcher
[02:11] <frederific> I'm on 9.10 The system monitor on my panel reports over 50% RAM usage, and my machine is very slow. System Monitor and top both show no process using very much RAM. Any ideas?
[02:11] <look> is there a linux native to this? http://www.nat32.com/nat32e/htm/softap.htm
[02:11] <snake_> psusi, well on gentoo it is a red color that looks cooler when its in root...
[02:11] <Guest20651> nevermind
[02:12] <nDuff> look, HostAP mode was available on Linux long before it was available for Windows
[02:12] <psusi> snake_, look at their /etc/profile and see what they do
[02:12] <Guest20651> i686, does that mean x64?
[02:12] <look> nDuff: can i apt-get or is there a .deb package i can download?
[02:12] <SmartSsa> snake_: I was looking for a more permanent solution, something in gconf or other.
[02:12] <nDuff> look, not sure, I wasn't using Ubuntu last time I needed it.
[02:12] <look> ...
[02:13] <magicianlord> lol
[02:13] <nDuff> look, ...so I'd have to google, same as you can do. Knowing it's called "HostAP" not "SoftAP" here should help.
[02:13] <magicianlord> look: what do you need?
[02:14] <look> magicianlord: i have a DYNEX DX-WPGUSB dongle and want to use is as an AP for wireless
[02:14] <snake_> SmartSsa, yes just go add it to your launcher if you have one, if you don't have a terminal launcher in the panel or otherwise on your desktop, make one, and then add it to that..
[02:14] <nDuff> look, also, look into wpa_supplicant
[02:14] <magicianlord> look: Sorry, cannot help you with that.
[02:14] <nDuff> look, ...no idea if that particular hardware is supported, though.
[02:14] <magicianlord> look: i have a Dynex lcd tv.
[02:14] <look> nDuff: thanx anyway
[02:15] <nDuff> look, ...there's a supported driver list at http://hostap.epitest.fi/
[02:15] <denis123> Hi, two days ago my Ubuntu (9.10) just crashed after installing updates (via update manager). I use xorg-edgers ATI drivers and thus use a newer kernel (2.6.32 i think it is). I was working fine, installed update. Restarted, and now it starts loading them screen goes blank and black. Could someone help me fix this? Thanks!
[02:16] <magicianlord> Wow.
[02:16] <coz_> out of curiosity...even after several clean installs the  chess game in gnome is not smooth  rather jerky...can someone test on their system?
[02:16] <SmartSsa> snake_: meh, i read that forum page too.  I don't use launchers and I'm sick of typing --geometry 130x26 every time i open a terminal :)
[02:16] <xangua> denis123: use stable packages
[02:16] <blakkheim> denis123: don't buy from ati, enemy of your freedom
[02:16] <preposteruss> coz_, chess works fine on my netbook
[02:17] <denis123> xangua: that was my first choice. but that was the only way for me to get compiz to work
[02:17] <coz_> preposteruss,  ok thanks
[02:17] <snake_> SmartSsa, well then make a new launcher and make the command "gnome-terminal --geometry 130x26"
[02:17] <xangua> denis123: in the xorg edger PPA they mention another PPA with more stable packages, try that then
[02:18] <snake_> SmartSsa, got to go, good luck....
[02:18] <denis123> xangua: how? I can't enter ubuntu... It starts to load and then goes blank and I can't do anything
[02:18] <magicianlord> denis123: repair it
[02:19] <denis123> magicianlord: how?
[02:19] <magicianlord> using live usb or cd
[02:19] <denis123> so what do I do? Is there an option to reapair?
[02:19] <magicianlord> i would edit xorg.conf to use default vesa video drivers
[02:19] <magicianlord> then once you get into desktop, remove ati drivers or whatever
[02:20] <magicianlord> there should be an option
[02:20] <magicianlord> i havent done it in a while
[02:20] <magicianlord> Can someone else chime in please also
[02:21] <denis123> ok. thanks. I'll reboot with livecd and have a look. Just what do I do to make it use default vesa video drivers?
[02:21] <xangua> denis123: if you have compiz activated disable it
[02:21] <RedXIII> histo: The defragmentation worked. Thanks for the help :)
[02:22] <cain22> what it is
[02:22] <Gummi> denis123, in grub (before you enter ubuntu when you boot up your computer) pick command line or what ever it is called. or use live cd... find /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change driver to vesa, you will ned to google how to
[02:22] <zagabar_> I see with vnstat that my server constantly sends ~200 mb per hour. I have no idea why. Can I somehow find it out?
[02:23] <denis123> kk. but is it likely that it is the drivers that have caused this? Or some other update via update manager?
[02:23] <gasull> Hi.
[02:23] <magicianlord> Gummi: that's what I was talking about, thanks
[02:23] <aetaric> zagabar_: just being connected makes you send data, but that is a sizable amount. i'd try wireshark.
[02:23] <gottto> zagabar_: the good folk in #ubuntu-server would have the best answer for that
[02:24] <user42> Hello?
[02:24] <user42> Oh, thank gosh.
[02:24] <gasull> I've edited /etc/mailcap several times, but every time my edits seem to be gone after a while (Software updates?).  How can I prevent this?  Thanks
[02:24] <user42> I need some graphics assistance for Karmic Koala installed via wubi, can anyone help?
[02:24] <Gummi> denis123, I dont know. you might be able to log in with the older kernel if there was a kernel update and your ati drivers arent......... just... try anything.
[02:24] <furythor> Which would be better combination, AMD CPU and Radeon graphics or Intel and Nvidia ?
[02:25] <billy189589566> hey everyone earlier irc kept saying connection reset by peers any ideas onwhy this was happening
[02:25] <denis123> ok will do. I'll try that. I think i still have 2.31 kernel. Otherwise I'll try edit grub. Thanks Gummi and magicianlord
[02:26] <richthegeek> the board message is incorrect!
[02:26] <aetaric> furythor: i use intel nd nvidia
[02:26] <richthegeek> ohwait nvm
[02:26] <richthegeek> anyway
[02:26] <joombaga> furythor: right now I would go intel ati
[02:26] <richthegeek> Does anyone know how to put a panel on screen 1?
[02:27] <cain22> anyone know how to get different work stations on unr?
[02:28] <magicianlord> gotta go
[02:28] <magicianlord> peace otu
[02:28] <magicianlord> out
[02:28] <xangua> richthegeek: just create a new one and brab it with the cursor while pressing Alt key
[02:29] <richthegeek> xangua: god I feel retarded... had been trying to force using gconftool-2 and killing gnome-panel
[02:29] <histo> have a device question. Trying to get webcamstudio working and its looking for my cam at /dev/video/0 which doesn't exist
[02:29] <billy189589566> earlier irc kept saying connection reset by peers any ideas onwhy this was happening
[02:30] <stuporglue> Anyone know of software to convert .dv to DVD ISO? I don't need editing abilities.
[02:30] <histo> sry /dev/video0
[02:30] <histo> which is there but doesn't appear right
[02:31] <emes> any suggestions for an 802.11n pci card with solid support (and available in the US)?
[02:31] <furythor> well I did get one computer with Intel CPU Nvidia graphics and something kept crashing ubuntu 9.10 install to 80% (configuring apt) and got no idea what was causing it. Moterboard was Asus P7P55D-E and graphics was ENGTX260. Mobo supports USB3 and SATAII but don't think that those were issue except it did not recognize mobile broadband connection stick.
[02:32] <joombaga> furythor: karmic is out now, try that
[02:32] <furythor> any idea what could caused that crashing of install program ?
[02:32] <furythor> you mean 10.04 ?
[02:33] <joombaga> yeah
[02:33] <xangua> !lucid | furythor joombaga
[02:33] <furythor> gotta try it, yeah
[02:33] <coz_> 10.04 is not released yet
[02:33] <furythor> well I did get that issue with 9.10 and more weird (not even installable with 9.04) so
[02:33] <Trek> furythor: don't discuss 10.04 here
[02:34] <patonono> is there any problem with ati 5750 on ubuntu 9.10?
[02:34] <Berzerker> furythor: karmic is 9.10
[02:34] <blakkheim> patonono: yes
[02:34] <Berzerker> furythor: Lucid Lynx (unreleased) is 10.04
[02:35] <furythor> any information for release date of 10.04 ?
[02:35] <patonono> blakkheim will it be fixed on 10.04?
[02:35] <blakkheim> furythor: april 29
[02:35] <blakkheim> patonono: no
[02:35] <patonono> why?
[02:35] <blakkheim> patonono: because the problem isn't with ubuntu, it's with ati
[02:36] <furythor> I want to see if that makes ubuntu more useful for that computer that I assembled ...
[02:36] <patonono> it always is the others fault...
[02:37] <billy189589566> is there anything cool i can do on karmic that i cant do on windows (bored trying to find new features)
[02:37] <blakkheim> !ot | billy189589566
[02:38] <billy189589566> !ot | blakkheim
[02:38] <billy189589566> thankyou :)

[02:41] <sharinnegan1> hi everybody
[02:43] <furythor> gonna try 10.04 beta :D
[02:43] <britters> hello, I install ubuntu on my dell inspiron to try and get more life out of it, and I bought a wireless adapter from fry's (like bestbuy) but for some reason its not being recognized at all.   I'm not sure what driver I should use, it's showing up in lsusb as Dlink systems
[02:43] <sharinnegan1> I can't use remote desktop viewer , I have a message like : the connexion has been closed, when I try to use it with VNC
[02:44] <sharinnegan1> any ideas ?
[02:44] <billy189589566> britters, for the internet?
[02:44] <britters> billy189589566, correct
[02:44] <^Delta^> sharinnegan1: There should be a linux driver available on the Dlink website, did you try that?
[02:44] <radhios> do you have any kind of firewall?
[02:45] <bluebaron> Hi I really need help with my Karmic Koala installation. These bothersome white pixels are appearing randomly in a line down my screen. Ubuntu was installed today via the newest version of wubi.
[02:45] <billy189589566> britters, plug it in you should get an icon appear on your desktop i assume your using 9.10
[02:45] <britters> billy189589566, no 10.04
[02:45] <blakkheim> !lucid | britters
[02:46] <bluebaron> Can no one even attempt to say they don't have any help for me?
[02:46] <sharinnegan1> ^Delta^: you missed your message, I have a problem with VNC :p
[02:46] <bluebaron> I'm using a stable version...
[02:46] <ka0tic> when i plug in a usb drive, ubuntu freezes up completely, what is wrongh?
[02:46] <billy189589566> britters, ah i t should work anyway plug it in you should get an icon appear on screen right click it and select eject
[02:46] <britters> billy189589566, even though it is scheduled for release, i use gentoo normally but didnt want to go through the hassle with this machine.  How would i figure out the proper driver
[02:47] <billy189589566> then go to network connections configure it and your good to go
[02:47] <xangua> bluebaron: details, 'doen's work' doesn't help  :S
[02:47] <xangua> !details
[02:47] <bluebaron> I don't recall saying 'doen's work'...?
[02:47] <bluebaron> Hi I really need help with my Karmic Koala installation. These bothersome white pixels are appearing randomly in a line down my screen. Ubuntu was installed today via the newest version of wubi.
[02:47] <bluebaron> I said that, good fellow.
[02:47] <britters> billy189589566, no dice. its not showing up there.
[02:47] <blakkheim> bluebaron: no need to keep repeating your question
[02:47] <billy189589566> britters, if you got it from frys it probably came with windows software on a disk install wine and use it that way
[02:48] <blakkheim> billy189589566: that will not work, please don't suggest that
[02:48] <bluebaron> xangua was under the impression I had forgotten the details of my query.
[02:48] <sudo-su> help, how install gwibber of lucid in karmic?
[02:48] <britters> blakkheim, dont worry i hate ndis
[02:48] <mickster14> bluebaron: sounds like a dodgy screen, an if no one can help no on will respond
[02:48] <sudo-su> the new version
[02:48] <billy189589566> blakkheim, why not??
[02:48] <ka0tic> bluebaron: most likely a gfx ram is unstable
[02:48] <britters> billy189589566, not open software.
[02:48] <billy189589566> blakkheim, not challenging you jw lol
[02:48] <Alcor> sharinnegan1  not all dlink ethernet cards can be used by ubunto .  I have a cabled ethernet card.  I called dlink and they gave me the 530T
[02:48] <sudo-su> help, how install gwibber of lucid in karmic?
[02:48] <sudo-su> the new version
[02:48] <sharinnegan1> Do I have to configure VNC on the remote server machine to use it ?
[02:48] <bluebaron> ka0tic: any way to solve this?
[02:48] <xangua> sudo-su: try with the 'gwibber daily PPA' ; it doesn't worked to me
[02:49] <ka0tic> bluebaron: a new video card :(
[02:49] <bluebaron> But this doesn't occur with Windows...
[02:49] <sudo-su> xangua: thank
[02:49] <sharinnegan1> Alcor: I don't have problem with Dlink xD you missed too
[02:49] <sudo-su> but where i can see this ppa
[02:49] <sudo-su> ?
[02:49] <sharinnegan1> I would like to see a remote desktop
[02:49] <bluebaron> ka0tic, this problem does not appear in Windows Vista.
[02:49] <Alcor> to use with linux.  The linux driver is on the CD, But ubunto found it first.
[02:50] <navetz> hey i need some help getting my wireless working, i broke some configs during an upgrade
[02:50] <ka0tic> bluebaron: it could be two things, windows uses different memory addresses, so on windows it would look good, but on linux it is bad.. i know i have seen this happen before.... or your driver is bad
[02:50] <britters> billy189589566, any other ideas?
[02:50] <xangua> sudo-su: https://launchpad.net/~gwibber-daily/+archive/ppa
[02:50] <billy189589566> britters, sorry cant help you lol??? ill keep thinking
[02:51] <bluebaron> ka0tic: I try to be a good user; I updated ubuntu as soon as I got it installed. How would I go about updating the driver?
[02:51] <sudo-su> xangua: thank and sorry :D
[02:51] <bluebaron> ka0tic: For my graphics card, that is.
[02:51] <ka0tic> bluebaron: goto your video cards website and get it
[02:51] <bluebaron> Will they have support for linux?
[02:51] <ka0tic> bluebaron: if that does not work, then your video cards ram is shot
[02:52] <denis123> Hi,
[02:53] <bluebaron> How can I determine which version of Linux, x86 or x86_64, I have?
[02:53] <denis123> I tried the older kernel, but it didn't fix my problem (of blank screen after boot after updating - whilst using xorg-edgers drivers). How can i load using vesa driver via live CD
[02:53] <britters> billy189589566, it seems like a rebranded lower tier 11g card, but on windows it shows up as 11n adapter.   regardless the first 4 digits of its ID are DLink cards, but it didnt match any of the second 4
[02:53] <billy189589566> has anyone got any idea why when i try to log into karmic it says graphic settings not found going into low graphics is there any way to fix this??
[02:53] <bluebaron> Do you have a diagnostics command here?
[02:53] <jrib> bluebaron: uname -m
[02:54] <billy189589566> britters, im really not sure lol im new to karmic myself i just know a little about wireless card because mine was messing about at first
[02:55] <britters> billy189589566, well i guess being on lucid doesn't help.  I know that card works I tested it on Win7 but I guess for now I could just use the garbage that is Ndiswrapper
[02:55] <billy189589566> has anyone got any idea why when i try to log into karmic it says graphic settings not found going into low graphics is there any way to fix this????
[02:55] <terinjokes> does Ubuntu 9.10 x86 support Apple Partition Map?
[02:55] <terinjokes> i'm trying to recover data from an HDD
[02:56] <billy189589566> britters, like blakkheim said lucid hasn't been released yet
[02:56] <paradoxuncreated> http://www.paradoxuncreated.com/articles/Millennium/Millennium.html
[02:56] <blakkheim> terinjokes: what do you mean apple partition map?
[02:56] <britters> billy189589566, I know im just saying that it shouldnt be much harder to figure out what type of driver i need for it.
[02:57] <terinjokes> blakkheim: APM was a partition type used on PowerPC Macs (similar to MBR and GUID)
[02:57] <bluebaron> uname -m
[02:57] <blakkheim> terinjokes: oh ok, i thought you meant GPT
[02:57] <bluebaron> Oh wait was that for the terminal?
[02:57] <blakkheim> bluebaron: yes
[02:57] <billy189589566> britters, yeah lol
[02:57] <sharinnegan1> good nite all
[02:57] <bluebaron> Excuse me.
[02:58] <terinjokes> blakkheim: any ideas if i can read disks in this type?
[02:58] <bluebaron> How would I discover my graphics card name?
[02:58] <bluebaron> Series included?
[02:58]  * microlith boggles at network manager's behavior in virtualbox
[02:58] <iamnotaloser> You can use the lspci command
[02:58] <blakkheim> terinjokes: if it's not the same thing as GPT (which ubuntu can read just fine) then i am not sure
[02:58] <iamnotaloser> and grep it
[02:58] <terinjokes> it's not
[02:58] <bluebaron> grep?
[02:58] <iamnotaloser> lspci | grep "VGA"
[02:59] <billy189589566> blakkheim,  how do you make this sign  |
[02:59] <blakkheim> billy189589566: you mean a pipe? |
[02:59] <billy189589566> yeah
[02:59] <iamnotaloser> depends on your keyboard setup :P
[02:59] <blakkheim> billy189589566: shift and the \ key for my US keyboard
[02:59] <billy189589566> its normal english one
[02:59] <iamnotaloser> Shift + the key under backspace
[03:00] <terinjokes> blakkheim: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Partition_Map
[03:00] <blakkheim> terinjokes: thanks i will read up on that
[03:00] <speedbaron> or use the ASCII code 124
[03:00] <iamnotaloser> its so nerdy to be writing this... on a console :P
[03:00] <billy189589566> iamnotaloser, dosnt work i can see it its in the top left corner under esc but theres 3 symbols on it i can only work out how to use ¬ `
[03:01] <mickster04> iamnotaloser: i use irc thru a console:D
[03:01] <bluebaron> Also, previously, I had installed linux mint gloria via wubi. Although I uninstalled it via the included uninstaller, the BIOS still gives me the option to boot it. How would I fix this?
[03:02] <blakkheim> bluebaron: this is not a mint support channel
[03:02] <bluebaron> But this is a catholic problem..
[03:02] <blakkheim> bluebaron: it's mint + wubi related, not ubuntu related
[03:02] <unop> !coc | bluebaron
[03:03] <iamnotaloser> LOL!
[03:03] <bluebaron> Oh, pardon my behavior.
[03:03] <iamnotaloser> So i guess im not the only one haha
[03:03] <bluebaron> Off the top of your head, do you happen to know any channels in which I could inquire about that issue?
[03:03] <denis123> After upgrading (via update manager) on ubuntu it now fails by going to a blank black screen right after loading. I'm using xorg-edgers and a newer kernel (2.6.32) so that might be the problem? How could I fix this?\
[03:03] <terinjokes> blakkheim: i bet it does, since it would be part of the kernel, but i doubt ubuntu has that enabled when it compiled
[03:03] <blakkheim> !mint | bluebaron
[03:04] <hendra> halo
[03:04] <blakkheim> terinjokes: it's worth a try
[03:04] <billy189589566> i got it i gotta press alt gr |
[03:04] <terinjokes> blakkheim: it is, but since this is the Live CD...
[03:04] <bluebaron> Mint was quite a shoddy ubuntu derivative, indeed.
[03:04] <bluebaron> Imho.
[03:05] <terinjokes> but no #! support?
[03:05] <bluebaron> !mintsupport
[03:05] <terinjokes> blakkheim: Ubuntu was quite a shoddy debian derivative, indeed.
[03:05] <blakkheim> terinjokes: lol
[03:06] <terinjokes> ^^^ Fixed it for you
[03:06] <bluebaron> I'm the one who said it, not blakkheim.
[03:06] <bluebaron> But that was funny.
[03:06] <terinjokes> woops... bad tab completer
[03:07] <iamnotaloser> the gnome channel is kind of dead
[03:07] <iamnotaloser> i need to ask sum questions
[03:07] <iamnotaloser> lolz
[03:07] <bluebaron> It's alright, good fellow.
[03:07] <terinjokes> seems the PowerPC version of Ubuntu has APM support (nah, really?)
[03:08] <denis123> After upgrading (via update manager) on ubuntu it now fails by going to a blank black screen right after loading. I'm using xorg-edgers and a newer kernel (2.6.32) so that might be the problem? How could I fix this?\
[03:09] <toogreen> @denis123 what video card/chipset have u got?
[03:10] <Trek> anyone ever get a random I/O error while their system is running?
[03:10] <Tamnakz1> Can anyone help with an error in Vuze?
[03:10] <patrickegleason> Hey everyone, I need to add windows 7 to my grub menu, as well as delete osx from it. How can I do this? Ive burned supergrub to a disk but dont know what to do with it now.
[03:10] <denis123> toogreen: [Radeon HD 4870] but it's not a hardware error as my dual boot windows works fine
[03:11] <mickster04>   patrickegleason run update-grub once you have formatted the one and installed the other
[03:11] <mickster04> patrickegleason: ?
[03:12] <Alcor> denis123 load up into safe mode (bottom tool bar before inputting passwd) lower screen resolution to 2nd from top
[03:12] <patrickegleason> mickster04: I dont want to get rid of osx, just its boot option in grub
[03:12] <Alcor> my box did that after i loaded 9.10
[03:12] <mickster04>  patrickegleason ... not sure about that
[03:13] <bluebaron> Oh, dear.
[03:13] <bluebaron> I have grabbed the driver installer off of the ATI website.
[03:13] <denis123> Alcor: Hey, bottom tool bar, is that from log-in screen? Because I can't get there. I have the black glowing Ubuntu icon then it crashes before I can log on. Currently I'm on my liveCD. Could i do that from here? Just, it was working fine. Installed updates, restart and doesn't work
[03:13] <bluebaron> It gave me a .run file.
[03:13] <bluebaron> How do I use that?
[03:13] <bluebaron> There is no program already associated with it..
[03:13] <blakkheim> bluebaron: sudo sh file.run
[03:14] <bluebaron> Thanks much, your help is invaluable.
[03:15] <toogreen> denis123: I had the same problem with the same video card as yours happen today. It is a video card drivers problem. Reboot, then in the GRUB screen choose "safe mode" (2nd option)
[03:15] <toogreen> denis123: then choose command line mode with networking
[03:15] <denis123> toogreen: uh huh
[03:15] <toogreen> denis123 then you need to use "envy" to re-install ATI's driver
[03:16] <acovrig> what would cause my .bash_history to not work?
[03:16] <rosechu> I'm trying to install vmware server 2.02 on Ubuntu 9.10, and I'm following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Server
[03:16] <denis123> toogreen: is this the proprietory one? Because I'm using xorg edgers
[03:16] <rosechu> but the script it tells me to run isn't working
[03:16] <denis123> toogreen: the opensource ones
[03:16] <toogreen> denis123 so type sudo aptitude install envyng
[03:16] <Alcor> denis123 I had to select the safe screen before i put in yhe passwd
[03:17] <acovrig> why does it not work only with users created with 'useradd' terminal
[03:17] <rosechu> the error is root@naito:/home/rosechu# sudo sh vmware-server-2.0.x-kernel-2.6.3x-install.sh
[03:17] <rosechu> vmware-server-2.0.x-kernel-2.6.3x-install.sh: 37: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
[03:17] <toogreen> denis123 The "envy" program will allow you to reinstall your video card drivers easily from the console/command line
[03:17] <sudo-su> i cant install gwibber 3.0
[03:17] <sudo-su> help
[03:17] <bluebaron> Please?
[03:17] <bluebaron> Sheesh.
[03:17] <toogreen> denis123 trust me I had exactly the same probably as you this morning and I fixed it that way
[03:18] <denis123> toogreen: ah ok. so then just sudo aptitude envyng and follow the promps? Because I remember trying envy before using xorg edgers. And it stuffed me up
[03:18] <stanley_> hi guys, I really need some help, I am using KArmic Koala  have a Dell Dimension 2350 but gnome continuously freezes when I leave it on...can someone help me solve this?
[03:18] <rosechu> if anyone had any thoughts on this it would be great..
[03:18] <toogreen> denis123 yeah after you install envy, type "envyng -t" to run the text version
[03:19] <DasEi> rosechu: vmware ran on my sys without that kernel, build-essential installed ? dependencies from vm's faqs ?
[03:19] <toogreen> denis123 then I chose "Install ATI drivers", then it recommend me to install one version of the driver, I don't remember which one it was but i just chose it by typing "0"

[03:28] <DasEi> acovrig: checked /etc/bash.bashrc ?
[03:29] <DasEi> Gran_Ger: yes and no, it's empty btw not present in default, but can still be used
[03:29] <acovrig> DasEi, what about it, .bash_history works for every user except the onces created with 'useradd'
[03:30] <acovrig> DasEi, works for root,user1 (both created at install)
[03:31] <Gran_Ger> dasei, I'm using right now the 10.04 version. And trying the command you typed, doesn't work

[03:31] <^Delta^> #quit
[03:31] <patrickegleason> what is error code 13? when mounting a drive?
[03:31] <DasEi> acovrig: idk, did you miss sth. with their homedirs ? does a dir under /home exist for the additinal users ?
[03:31] <acovrig> DasEi, yes
[03:31] <LinuX2half> I'm wondering why does ubuntu remove some of my packages when I'm remove only specific packages.
[03:32] <LinuX2half> Like for example, when I try to remove a package, the system would also remove additional packages? Why is that?
[03:32] <iflema> LinuX2half https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware#Package%20Dependencies
[03:33] <acovrig> DasEi, I am running as user2; I ran chmod 600 ~/.bash_history and chown user2 ~/.bash_history
[03:33] <patrickegleason> trying to mount an ntfs partition, getting error 13. the same partition also not showing up in grub
[03:33] <m4v> Trek: yes, might indicate that your drive is dying (like when happened to me)
[03:33] <Trek> m4v: a restart fixed it, havent had the same issue yet *shrugs*
[03:34] <ubuntnoob> can anyone help me with webcam studio?
[03:34] <m4v> Trek: you might want to check the smart information on the drive though, for see if there's something error indications
[03:35] <m4v> s/something/some/
[03:35] <ubuntnoob> guys, need to broadcast video over webcamstudio in tinychat
[03:35] <ubuntnoob> cant get it to broadcast
[03:35] <LinuX2half> Oh, so its an dependency matter. Alright but when I remove those following package: gvfs gvfs-backends gvfs-bin gvfs-fuse libgvfscommon0 ifuse libgpod-dev  libgpod-common libiphone-utils, it removed some of my panel's applications?
[03:35] <DasEi> acovrig: so file was there, so it's a functional proble then
[03:36] <acovrig> guess so, whenever I login, it runs .profile ok, but then 'cat .bash_history' is blank
[03:36] <LinuX2half> it removed my usb creator and docs
[03:36] <acovrig> DasEi, guess so, whenever I login, it runs .profile ok, but then 'cat .bash_history' is blank
[03:36] <Roxyhart0> hi there somebody know any free software do do backup from windows/mac clients in a linux samba server?
[03:36] <LinuX2half> there are numerous others that they also had removed
[03:36] <Trek> LinuX2half: its because those programs/apps depend on those packages
[03:37] <LinuX2half> Trek: Really, I thought they aren't related
[03:37] <Guest92912> Is there a way I can restart metacity on a specified x server (e.g. from a console) none of my windows are responding to input
[03:37] <DasEi> acovrig: did you compare the bash.bashrc of the "regular users to the one of the later added ?
[03:37] <Trek> LinuX2half: using synaptic, you can see what depends on a selected package
[03:37] <shashidhar> can anybody help me about how to load an image in octave into an variable
[03:37] <Trek> er... what a selected package depends on, LinuX2half
[03:38] <acovrig> DasEi, you mean ls -la?
[03:38] <LinuX2half> Trek: Alright, thanks I thought it might be a major issue...
[03:38] <m4v> Trek: like "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda"  (sda is an example) an check counters like Raw_Read_Error_Rate and such
[03:38] <ubuntnoob> guys, need to broadcast video over webcamstudio in tinychat
[03:38] <ubuntnoob> cant get it to broadcast
[03:38] <DasEi> acovrig: no,, there is a section concerning history, like how many entries
[03:39] <m4v> Trek: you might need the package smartmontools for use that command
[03:39] <acovrig> DasEi, I must not understand, /root/.bash_history is LONG, but /home/user2/.bash_history is empty, it's never worked
[03:40] <|mawst|> how do I list all x displays?
[03:41] <|mawst|> ugh I don't want to restart Xorg
[03:41] <DasEi> acovrig: gedit /home/$USER/.bash_history          <<sth. there ?
[03:42] <LinuX2half> See ya

[03:43] <b14ck> Is there *anyway* to undo a rm -rf command? I just rm'ed some extremely important code.
[03:44] <Trek> !undelete | b14ck

[04:24] <shazbotmcnasty> can windows read NFS file system???
[04:25] <patrickegleason> shazbotmcnasty: yes
[04:25] <shazbotmcnasty> not ntfs
[04:25] <shazbotmcnasty> nfs
[04:25] <patrickegleason> shazbotmcnasty: ntfs you mean?
[04:25] <shazbotmcnasty> it can?

[04:25] <patrickegleason> lol
[04:25] <shazbotmcnasty> k
[04:25] <blakkheim> shazbotmcnasty: windows can work with nfs
[04:25] <FloodBot2> shazbotmcnasty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:25] <SwedeMike> there are plenty of nfs servers and clients for windows.
[04:25] <shazbotmcnasty> I'll eat you FloodBot2 - blakkheim that's awesome.
[04:26] <shazbotmcnasty> blakkheim, does linux do okay with nfs also?
[04:26] <SwedeMike> linux has had nfs for 15 years.
[04:26] <SwedeMike> at least
[04:26] <patrickegleason> shazbotmcnasty: yes it does
[04:26] <shazbotmcnasty> so they work well together.....
[04:26] <shazbotmcnasty> k

[04:26] <acovrig> where are incidents reported? (user is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.)
[04:27] <shazbotmcnasty> patrickegleason, I'm trying to avoid samba
[04:27] <SwedeMike> acovrig: somewhere in /var/log
[04:27] <acovrig> is .bash_logout the opposite of .profile?
[04:27] <toogreen> if you don't need to interact with Windows machines, definitely go NFS.. It's much better, faster and all
[04:27] <shazbotmcnasty> I do need to interact with windows machine
[04:27] <shazbotmcnasty> s
[04:27] <shazbotmcnasty> man, you guys are confusing as hell
[04:27] <DasEi> acovrig: check the group pub for additional functionality or remove abilities there, have fun
[04:28] <acovrig> SwedeMike, thanks /var/log/auth.log
[04:28] <toogreen> shazbotmcnasty:  heheh sorry man, i just got in here... well im not sure u have a choice but use Samba then...
[04:28] <acovrig> DasEi, what do u mean
[04:28] <acovrig> I guess I ask that alot
[04:28] <toogreen> I might be wrong tho
[04:29] <toogreen> shazbotmcnasty: oh you know what you can do? You can share the same folder with both NFS and Samba... I did that once, worked fine
[04:29] <acovrig> can I have a script run on logout? (I'm not talking about /etc/gdm/PostSession)
[04:29] <tyler_> ive got a weird glitch with java.. if i make firefox fullscreen or do anything to affect the browser viewing area, the game im playign (runescape) which should autoresize its viewing area is not doing so, im guessing java isnt reporting back the new resolution of the viewing area?
