[08:24] <soreau> It wont
[08:24] <Dr_Willis> if the person cant even get to the GDM or KDM login screen. theres some deeper issues
[08:24] <darksector> Dr_Willis: those blurred lines and stuff are problems of broken x, i assume because i had the same
[08:24] <Guest81118> Dr_Willis, did someone took out mp3 encoding ??, meeh, I could easily convert to mp3 in previous Ubuntu distros
[08:24] <Guest81118> :(
[08:24] <darksector> Dr_Willis: he was able to get to gdm
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> Guest81118:  no idea. ive never tried.
[08:25] <bashca> Dr_Willis: that's  mean  i have to reinstall  my koala ??
[08:25] <darksector> soreau: owow ! hi !
[08:25] <Archilles> youtube says Javascript is turned off, however in Preferences (using Firefox) javascript is ticked for enabled.  What is wrong??
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> darksector:  then havge them install for example 'icewm' and see if they can get to the desktop with the icewm session menu item. that will remove compiz from the 'potential' problems list. :)
[08:26] <darksector> Dr_Willis: isn't icewm a whole dm?
[08:26] <bashca> darksector: Dr_Willis : llutz  :  thanks  all  for  your  help
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> icewm is a window  manager.
[08:26] <robbmunson> Archilles: do you have the flash plugin installed?
[08:26] <winmisser> hey guys, anyone running modern warfare 2 on ubuntu 9.10 with wine 1.1.33
[08:26] <merciless> Dr_Willis; the image of usb is created...what to do next?
[08:26] <anonymoustroll> anyone have any ideas about how to approach fixing a box who's x session / window manager restarts every few seconds?
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> merciless:  try to mount it via the mount command and loop option
[08:26] <winmisser> or just any other games, i'm looking for tips that could help me improve its performance
[08:26] <bashca> i will  try  to remove compiz  and  kde 4 and  i will see   if  it will resolve or  not   thanks  again
[08:26] <robbmunson> Archilles: youtube gives the same error for both flash plugin and java-type issues.
[08:27] <merciless> Dr_Willis; you mean mount -o??
[08:27] <Dr_Willis> merciless:   sudo mount whatever.img /mnt/  -t vfat (or whatever) -o loop
[08:27] <Dr_Willis> merciless:  or some similer to that command.
[08:27] <Dr_Willis> bashca:  try installing some other window manager. see if that one works.
[08:27] <llutz> merciless: loop-mount will fail if your usb had partitions
[08:27] <Dr_Willis> bashca:  or try making a new user. see if it works for them
[08:28] <merciless> llutz; there's no partitions on my usb
[08:28] <llutz> merciless: ok
[08:28] <bashca> Dr_Willis: the problem  i can't  do  nothing  in gui  or  command   i can get  in  to try
[08:28]  * Dr_Willis will BB in a few min.
[08:28] <Archilles> robbmunson: well then, do you know how I can get flash working? I copied libflashplayer.so to plugins and now about:plugins refers to it as Shockwave Flash and Shockwave works!
[08:28] <winmisser> hey how can i get a controlled list of the server's rooms, using xchat gnome, here?
[08:29] <bashca> Dr_Willis: i used  live cd to  recover  my data  to  other  hdd and  i guess  i will reinstall  it  again
[08:29] <Sacho>  a controlled list?
[08:29] <winmisser> yes, specify the order in which the channels will appear, how many users in, etc, etc
[08:29] <bashca> the  problem i guess happened  after  installing  kde 4  and  change  setting on  compiz
[08:29] <winmisser> if i type /list, i'll just get a chaotic list of channels flooding my status window
[08:30] <merciless> Dr_Willis; I get this; http://paste.ubuntu.com/335750/
[08:31] <Madpilot> winmisser, xchat-gnome must have a show/search channels dialogue? real xchat does, Server menu -> List of Channels
[08:31] <llutz> merciless: try without -t vfat
[08:31] <winmisser> yes, i saw it now.. thanks, madpilot
[08:32] <merciless> llutz; it asks me to specify a filesystem type
[08:33] <robbmunson> Archilles: I apologize but its nearly 2:30 AM...I have go to get to bed :(
[08:34] <Archilles> robbmunson: Oh kay, thanks anyways. Night

[08:37] <llutz> luckymurali: add swap-file

[09:01] <giantpune> i have a noob question here, maybe i can get some help
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> weirdness. I got these cd audio disks that have 'data' and 'audio' and i cant seem tomake a 'iso' image of them with the dd command.
[09:02] <SpaceGhostC2C> giantpune, you should just state your question. What's up?
[09:02] <napster> !ask | giantpune
[09:02] <brijith> giantpune:ask ur question
[09:02] <SpaceGhostC2C> napster, I found a couple links. Can you read English very well?
[09:02] <giantpune> i have a usb device that outputs data.  it is connected to ttyUSB0.  what must i do to make a terminal output the data coming from that device?
[09:03] <napster> SpaceGhostC2C, I guess :)
[09:03] <SpaceGhostC2C> napster, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man1/acpitool.1.html
[09:03] <SpaceGhostC2C> napster, this is to get the modules loaded in your kernel. http://memebeam.org/toys/ToshibaAcpiDriver
[09:03] <napster> SpaceGhostC2C, Ty, let me see that :P
[09:04] <SpaceGhostC2C> napster, if you have any questions come back here.
[09:04] <napster> SpaceGhostC2C, brb
[09:04] <llutz> giantpune: cat /dev/ttyUSB0
[09:05] <xxtripxx> http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/542/screenshot1do.png
[09:05] <giantpune> does it need to loop?  because it doesnt get anything when i just type it
[09:06] <Dr_Willis> giantpune:  shouldent need to . You could try 'tail -f /dev/whatever'
[09:06] <merciless> lluz; ther??
[09:06] <zen_> #ubuntu-cn
[09:07] <llutz> merciless: ?
[09:07] <giantpune> that still doesnt get it
[09:07] <xxtripxx> the device is connected to /dev/sdc and it is mounted at /media/Palm Pre
[09:07] <xxtripxx> http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/542/screenshot1do.png
[09:07] <xxtripxx> it doesnt pick up the directory but its there i confirmed on the device
[09:07] <merciless> lluz; i couldn't believe this output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/335764/
[09:07] <llutz> giantpune:  what type of usb-device is it?
[09:08] <giantpune> it is a USB gecko.  a serial device that connects the computer with a wii
[09:08] <jonte> Hi This is the fifth time here an got no solution,It is so that i install ubuntu with WUBI and restart,then when i boot with ubuntu.The screen is falling in sleep?
[09:08] <giantpune> i can send apps to the wii and run them fine
[09:08] <giantpune> but they cant talk back
[09:09] <llutz> merciless: yes, looks like a superfloppy-format (entire device is used without partitions)
[09:09] <llutz> merciless: but then your image should have been able to be mounted...
[09:10] <xxtripxx>  am i still in the chat
[09:10] <xxtripxx> ???
[09:10] <xxtripxx> it says i just got kicked
[09:10] <jonte> 	Hi This is the fifth time here an got no solution,It is so that i install ubuntu with WUBI and restart,then when i boot with ubuntu.The screen is falling in sleep?If I start the screen it's balck do you know why?
[09:10] <xxtripxx> hello?
[09:11] <Dr_Willis> jonte:  it may be a good idea to rephrase the question/information.  Ive no idea what you mean by 'the screen is falling in sleep'
[09:12] <Dr_Willis> jonte:  and black screens on boot up are indicative of driver/X config issues..  give details as to what you Do see exactly. Grub menu? GDM login? nothing at all.
[09:12] <Kud> Is there anyway to reinstall the default Ubuntu 9.10 login screen? I seem to have misplaced it...I was attempting to modify it via the guide here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7576112&postcount=365 However, it seems as if all that did was reset everything back to a default theme(Human I believe) and I can't seem to get the default login theme back. I tried uninstall and reinstalling usplash and the ubuntu theme to no avail.
[09:12] <Kud> Any ideas? Google is leaving me dry on this one.
[09:12] <jonte> Dr_Willis: I also think so....
[09:12] <daf_> I'm trying to use pan but am not able to get a list of anything.
[09:12] <daf_> Can anyone help me?
[09:12] <Dr_Willis> Kud:  using 9.10 ?
[09:13] <merciless> lluz; but then i am not able to?
[09:13] <Kud> Dr_Willis: Yes
[09:13] <jonte> Dr_Willis: But before this problem i had other problem....
[09:13] <daf_> I've put in the nntp server info but every group I subscribe to is blank
[09:13] <Dr_Willis> Kud:  theres a tool called 'epidermis' (not in the repos) that can install/change the gdm and other default themes. It can even download new ones.
[09:13] <xxtripxx> So I'm trying to run this command "mount -o loop /media/internal/debsmall.img /media/cf
[09:13] <xxtripxx> " but this is what i get http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/542/screenshot1do.png
[09:13] <llutz> merciless: my last idea is trying photorec to recover your data
[09:13] <Dr_Willis> xxtripxx:  you did make the directory /media/cf  befor hand?
[09:14] <Dr_Willis>  http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/542/screenshot1do.png
[09:14] <xxtripxx> i dont believe it should be in the debsmall.img
[09:14] <Kud> Dr_Willis: Will that work with the new xserver GDM that 9.10 is using? From what I've read so far, the GDM is completely different on 9.10 than < 9.04
[09:14] <Dr_Willis> xxtripxx:  hmm? a mountpoint must exist befor you mount to it.
[09:14] <Dr_Willis> Kud:  its made for the new one in 9.10
[09:14] <Kud> Dr_Willis: Thank you, I will look into it.
[09:14] <xxtripxx> then i need to create a mount point to the img file
[09:14] <Dr_Willis> Kud:  its a 9.10 only tool  I think
[09:15] <merciless> lluz; it isn't in the repos
[09:15] <Dr_Willis> xxtripxx:  yes you  MUST have the mount directory   existing befor tha command can work
[09:15] <SpaceGhostC2C> xxtripxx, you have to have a place to mount whatever you want to mount, before you mount. I suggest this command: sudo mkdir /media/mount
[09:15] <llutz> xxtripxx: cd "Palm Pre"
[09:15] <daf_> Anyone using Pan for usenet?
[09:16] <llutz> xxtripxx: using spaces in file-/dirnames need to escape them
[09:16] <SpaceGhostC2C> xxtripxx, then if you're mounting a iso use this command: sudo mount -t iso9660 /path/to/file.iso /media/mount
[09:16] <Dr_Willis> xxtripxx:  when in doubt avoide spaces in filename/paths.
[09:16] <llutz> merciless: its in package testdisk
[09:16] <Dr_Willis> daf_:  i used pan ages ago - You did point it to a proper newsgroup server?
[09:17] <daf_> Dr_Willis yes
[09:17] <daf_> I have a list of groups
[09:17] <merciless> lluz; i installed testdisk
[09:17] <daf_> I choose a group and show headers and nothing
[09:17] <daf_> Dr_Willis do you use some other client or just don't usenet?
[09:17] <Dr_Willis> daf_:  so it connected to the server ,  you need to subscribe to some groups i recall and tell it to some how update/download headers
[09:17] <llutz> merciless: /usr/sbin/photorec
[09:18] <Dr_Willis> daf_:  ive not used usenet in years.
[09:18] <Dr_Willis> My ISP dosent even have newsgroup servers any more i think
[09:18] <clueless2> hello everyone!
[09:18] <daf_> Dr_Willis: I'm doing all that but it just comes back empty
[09:18] <merciless> lluz; oh i am running it in the terminal and now how do i use it?
[09:19] <Dr_Willis> daf_:   could be they are empty.  Its hard to tell. try with some other newsgroup reader perhaps.
[09:19] <llutz> merciless: best read "man photorec"
[09:19] <clueless2> does anyone know how to set the result or the output of the Terminal "text" screen in color mode b/c i can't see the output
[09:19] <daf_> Dr_Willis: Suggestions?
[09:19] <Dr_Willis> daf_:  i recall the reader often just getting 'new' posts' vs 'all avail' posts.
[09:19] <Dr_Willis> daf_:  ive not used any in at least 4+ years
[09:19] <clueless2> for example if I type in "today=sunday" -Enter
[09:19] <clueless2> and then type in echo $today -enter
[09:20] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  you must include various ansi escape codes to get color in printed text.
[09:20] <clueless2> then the result would be Sunday .... it does show on the screen but I can NOT view the result or the output
[09:20] <clueless2> i need to change to a visible text color
[09:20] <merciless> lluz; ok i'll try thanks
[09:20] <clueless2> dr_willis ..what do you mean ?
[09:20] <clueless2> how ?
[09:20] <Dr_Willis> you are getting black text on a black background? or what do you mean clueless2
[09:21] <OC1> hi everybody
[09:21] <OC1> I am new with ubuntu
[09:21] <clueless2> Dr_willis.  I am getting the result on the background but I CAN NOT SEE it.  I need to change to a "visible" color text mode
[09:21] <SpaceGhostC2C> !hi | OC1
[09:21] <OC1> I have a few questions
[09:21] <faqts> i cant find movie player in /usr/bin/ to select it as a media player to play streams from the net, and if i save the stream as a .pls file and then open it with movie player, it will play it but not show what song is playing. only the station. any help please?
[09:21] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  try the 'reset' command to reset the terminal back to default colors

[09:22] <prathap> what package i need to install for vboxfs ?
[09:22] <Platypus-Man> I'm having trouble browsing network shares... my desktop is running Ubuntu 9.04, and the laptop 9.10, they can both ping eachother just fine, if I go to Network on my Desktop PC I can find the Laptop, but not the other way round... the sharing services are installed on both machines. HAve tried using wireless and wired on the laptop, currently on the latter (although I still pinged with 100% wireless connection and no packet loss just
[09:22] <faqts> SpaceGhostC2C: do they still air that show?
[09:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> Platypus-Man, what are you trying to use to connect?
[09:22] <OC1> I cant update my ubuntu 9.1
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> prathap:  running ubuntu inside a vbox virtualmachine?  You  need to install the vbox guest addations.
[09:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> faqts, I'm not sure friend, let's keep it on topic.
[09:23] <clueless2> Dr_Willis .. did you get it?
[09:23] <Platypus-Man> SpaceGhostC2C: smb is the only option I know of...
[09:23] <prathap> Dr_Willis, running xp as guest
[09:23] <clueless2> i can't see the text result on the screen ..
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  not really.
[09:23] <clueless2> i mean I can type in CAL for example and I see the screen text
[09:23] <faqts> i cant find movie player in /usr/bin/ to select it as a media player to play streams from the net, and if i save the stream as a .pls file and then open it with movie player, it will play it but not show what song is playing. only the station. any help please?
[09:23] <SpaceGhostC2C> Platypus-Man, have you done this? sudo apt-get install smbfs
[09:23] <Kud> Dr_Willis: Thanks for pointing me to the epidermis project. It has everything I need except for one thing: The ability to import my own themes. Looks as if it has a predetermined set of skins/themes/etc and no way to import your own unfortunately. This will be a simple temporary fix for my problem though, so I thank you once again. :)
[09:23] <clueless2> but if I typed in anything that applies to a variable .. the result on the screen is NOT readable
[09:24] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  Hmm.. so "  echo 'hello'   "     works?
[09:24] <Platypus-Man> strange, could swear I had installed everything I needed... let's hope it works
[09:25] <clueless2> Dr_Willis .. for example (again ..) if u typed in today=sunday-Enter, then type in echo today-Enter, you should get a screen or  a result on the screen that prints "Sunday"
[09:25] <prathap> Dr_Willis, running xp as guest need to share folder how can i ?
[09:25] <OC1> I have ubuntu 9.1 but I cant update my system

[09:25] <clueless2> echo
[09:25] <al_> can you kill a process by its name
[09:25] <clueless2> hold on .. i'm in the wrong screen
[09:25] <OC1> when I ping the server it reply
[09:25] <Dr_Willis> prathap:  check the vbox docs - they tell ya how. You can use normal shares. or the special vbox 'share' feature
[09:25] <prathap> Dr_Willis, this is the error mount: unknown filesystem type 'vboxvfs'
[09:25] <clueless2> Dr.Willis ..that works

[09:26] <SpaceGhostC2C> OC1, hey just chill a minute put your question on one line and wait for someone to read and respond. We'll get to you, we promise.
[09:26] <clueless2> Dr_Willis ... trying to do the variable
[09:26] <al_> cn28h: ta
[09:26] <prathap> Dr_Willis, tried that also,still didnt worked
[09:26] <OC1> ok
[09:26] <clueless2> Dr_Willis ... test your terminal to see if it works ..
[09:26] <clueless2> Dr_Willis .. type this in as the first line
[09:27] <clueless2> echo TODAY=SUNDAY --Enter
[09:27] <clueless2> echo $today-Enter

[09:27] <Dr_Willis> Hello World
[09:27] <Platypus-Man> SpaceGhostC2C: do I need to restart before it has any effect?
[09:27] <clueless2> you should be able to get the word  "Sunday" on the next line .. but i can't see the result
[09:27] <clueless2> Space ..thanks
[09:27] <clueless2> !enter
[09:28] <SpaceGhostC2C> Platypus-Man, no sir. in addition, you could try sudo apt-get install samba
[09:28] <faqts> i cant find movie player in /usr/bin/ to select it as a media player to play streams from the net, and if i save the stream as a .pls file and then open it with movie player, it will play it but not show what song is playing. only the station. any help please?
[09:28] <Dr_Willis> dont add the 'enter' stuff to the end.. just whats the actual commands you are using
[09:28] <RolaBlade> hi... how do I turn off gui boot up?
[09:28] <Dr_Willis> faqts: totem is in /usr/bin/totem
[09:28] <craig_> how can i get ubuntu to mount a hdd without me needing to type in sudo password? the drive is listed on "Places" menu. but i cant access it without typing a password.
[09:29] <llutz> craig_: what filesystem?
[09:29] <Dr_Willis> craig_:  try installing/running the ntfs-config command/tool if its a ntfs filesystem
[09:29] <SpaceGhostC2C> craig_ so you want it to be mounted when you click it, but not automatically mounted?
[09:29] <faqts> Dr_Willis: is that the same thing? i thought movie player and totem were 2 separate things.
[09:29] <Platypus-Man> SpaceGhostC2C: samba is the newest version, and still can't see my shares on the Laptop
[09:29] <craig_> SpaceGhostC2C, auto would be best
[09:29] <craig_> Dr_Willis, its ext4
[09:29] <llutz> craig_: chmod/chown
[09:29] <Dr_Willis> faqts:  movie player is just a 'fancy name' on the icon
[09:30] <SpaceGhostC2C> craig_, you'll want to edit your fstab. Send me a PM and I'll help you out with it.
[09:30] <llutz> craig_: add a fstab-entry to automount it
[09:30] <Dr_Willis> craig_:  fstab entry and set the permissions propelry. on a sub dir for a user to access.. or on the whole mountpoint
[09:30] <llutz> craig_: UUID=1234....21 /media/where/you/want ext4 defaults 0 0
[09:31] <faqts> Dr_Willis: its still not showing what song is playing
[09:31] <Dr_Willis> faqts:  not sure what you mean.
[09:32] <faqts> Dr_Willis: it is supposed to show what song is playing in the tile bar but all it's showing is the station name
[09:32] <SpaceGhostC2C> llutz, I think you have the order wrong for the fstab entry. No worries.
[09:32] <Dr_Willis> faqts:  i never use totem. so no idea.
[09:33] <Dr_Willis> faqts:  thers many other media players out there.
[09:33] <llutz> SpaceGhostC2C: you thing wrong
[09:33] <llutz> think*
[09:33] <faqts> Dr_Willis: i use totem because it's the only player that works with my multimedia buttons
[09:33] <Dr_Willis> faqts:  you have tried mplayer, vlc, and all the others?
[09:34] <llutz> SpaceGhostC2C: man fstab shows you the field-order
[09:34] <Dr_Willis> for streams i tend to use 'streamtuner' :)
[09:34] <faqts> Dr_Willis: what are "all the others"?
[09:34] <Dr_Willis> faqts:  depends on exactly what you are wanting to play.
[09:34] <Dr_Willis> some are better for video some are better for audio
[09:35] <faqts> net radio, Dr_Willis
[09:35] <Dr_Willis> for streams i tend to use 'streamtuner' :)
[09:35] <SpaceGhostC2C> llutz, my fstab is of a totally different flavour. I say we leave it at a agree to disagree.
[09:35] <Dr_Willis> and audacious I think
[09:35] <llutz> SpaceGhostC2C: man fstab shows you the field-order
[09:35] <llutz> SpaceGhostC2C: no discussion needed
[09:36] <clueless2> Dr_Willis .. how do verify that the Ubunto 9.10 that I'm using have all the Server functionalities installed?
[09:36] <al_> is there anything I can use to monitor the output of rsync from a remote session if I get disconnected? I know there is screen, but not sure if I can run screen on the cutdown version of Linux on my NAS box????
[09:36] <^mNotIntelligent> hello everyone !
[09:36] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  Huh?   what do you even mean by 'all the server functionalities' ?  you install what services you need.
[09:37] <^mNotIntelligent> hi Dr_Willis , Pici
[09:37] <Platypus-Man> SpaceGhostC2C: now I can't find my Laptop from my Desktop either... :/
[09:37] <clueless2> Dr_Willis .. i want to set up my Ubunto 9.10 as a server ...
[09:37] <SpaceGhostC2C> llutz: I'm saying that the way I have my fstab isn't the same as you put it and that as long as it works it doesn't matter much.
[09:37] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  so you still 'install what services you need'
[09:37] <clueless2> i want the Ubunto 9.10 to be a server type ..
[09:37] <bigmack83> im trying to help a friend with an issue on his computer. is there an app that lets me see his desktop in a window on my desktop.?
[09:38] <clueless2> like webserver, ftpserver, file server ..etc.
[09:38] <bigmack83> i dont necessarily need control, just want to view it
[09:38] <^mNotIntelligent> bigmack83, i guess you can use some screen sharing tools...there are quite a lot...
[09:38] <clueless2> mostly everything .. how do I check to see if those are installed?
[09:38] <SpaceGhostC2C> clueless2, you have everything you need already in the repositories.
[09:38] <ShazbotMcNasty> #grub
[09:38] <Dr_Willis> clearscreen1:  and for the 3rd time.. You install what services you need....
[09:38] <moymoy> bigmack83: ubuntu comes with vinagre
[09:38] <Dr_Willis> clearscreen1:  theres diffent 'servers' that you can install to provide those services
[09:38] <chiques> clueless2, That's too broad of a question.
[09:38] <clueless2> spaceghost ...where do I check in the "respositories"
[09:38] <Dr_Willis> oops wrong nick :)
[09:39] <SpaceGhostC2C> clueless2, If you'd like to have a headless server, meaning no gui to speak of then you can remove all the gui programs and ubuntu-desktop or reinstall and use the ubuntu server edition cd.
[09:39] <Dr_Willis> clueless2: :  theres diffent 'servers' that you can install to provide those services
[09:39] <Flannel> clueless2: Do you have a GUI on this server? or just text?
[09:39] <al_> bigmack83: fr windows anyway there is teamviewer
[09:39] <bigmack83> ^mNotIntelligent, u recommend any?
[09:39] <bigmack83> al_, both of us are in linux
[09:39] <clueless2> Flannel .. yes I do
[09:39] <SpaceGhostC2C> Platypus-Man, If you PM me, I'll help you figure it out.
[09:40] <SpaceGhostC2C> clueless2, would you like this server to have a GUI, or none at all?
[09:40] <^mNotIntelligent> bigmack83, use vinagre...comes as default remote desktop viewer in ubuntu
[09:40] <^mNotIntelligent> bigmack83, and its pretty good...
[09:40] <bigmack83> ok thx
[09:40] <al_> bigmack83: ahh, they might have a linux version...not sure
[09:40] <Flannel> clueless2: Alright, you can peruse synaptic (system > admin > synaptic package manager) to see all of the packages (not services) you can install.  If you want a shorter version of just some common tasks for your server, if you go to a terminal, and type 'sudo tasksel' you'll get some to choose from
[09:40] <clueless2> spaceGhost ... yes .. GUI ... in this case; i have it right?
[09:40] <Flannel> clueless2: but really, you can pretty much install *any* kind of service you could think of
[09:41] <clueless2> Flannel .. i guess that what I am trying to get
[09:41] <clueless2> i c
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> !ssh | clueless2
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> !ftp | clueless2
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> :)
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> if you dont need a ftp server.. dont just install one...
[09:41] <Flannel> clueless2: You might also be interested in this (which, while it's a help document, would give you ideas) https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/index.html
[09:42] <clueless2> i see
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> clearscreen1:  for best security  You install ONLY what services you need....
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> argh.. silly nick completion :)
[09:43] <Il__Matteo> hi everybody! Any of you playing KQ, the free fantasy game provided by ubuntu software centre? i need to know how to turn sounds on!
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> clueless2: :  for best security  You install ONLY what services you need....
[09:43] <clueless2> flannell ..thanks
[09:43] <clueless2> Dr_Willis ..thanks
[09:43] <SpaceGhostC2C> clueless2, if you'd like some help setting things up, I'd be glad to help you.
[09:43] <clueless2> well to be honest... i'm trying to learn Linux commands
[09:43] <clueless2> god, lots of them ..
[09:43] <haenet1> gsgfh
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:   then spend a few hrs reading/learning bash..
[09:44] <mauri> I have some problems with my usd dvbtv usb device
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> people  think linux 'commands' are a topic.. but its really learning 'what commands do what jobs you want to do'
[09:44] <clueless2> SpaceGhost .. i really do appreciate for your willingness to help .. not just but most of you guys that have helped me..
[09:44] <SpaceGhostC2C> clueless2, good endeavor. There are multitudes of documentation that would help you tremendously.
[09:44] <^mNotIntelligent> mauri, go ahead and explain your problme
[09:44] <clueless2> Dr_Willis.. well I got this book  titled "General Linux I"
[09:44] <faqts> Dr_Willis: i just in stalled streamtuner but I don't see it in my application list
[09:44] <Flannel> !cli | clueless2
[09:45] <clueless2> ubottu ..yes, that what I have been doing.
[09:45] <ranjan> can any body can provide me some commands foe wget i want to downlode few pages almost 70 pages so how to place or either way how should i use wget command to get all th 70 pages which are in sequence
[09:45] <ranjan> please help
[09:45] <clueless2> i took a UNIX class 3 semester ago (almost a year now ...) i'm trying to remember some of the things that I've learn
[09:45] <iceroot> ranjan: man wget
[09:46] <SpaceGhostC2C> clueless2, all I can say to you is, "Happy hacking friend"
[09:46] <mauri> ^mNotIntelligent: ok. When my sistem starts, the dvbt pen drive is not recognized but if I unplag e plag it..all it's ok. The problem appear only at the system boot
[09:46] <Dr_Willis> ranjan:  or write a script that runs wget with the proper #'s if its just a 1 # change..
[09:47] <clueless2> i've already installed (successfully) SSH ... and still reading on how to use it.. SSH is like an FTP ..sort of thing right?
[09:47] <^mNotIntelligent> mauri, that means initially your system is not able to either detect your device or due to some reason not able to load the proper driver and when the system is up its able to detect the device properly and is able to load the required drivers...
[09:47] <Dr_Willis> mauri:  you could compare  the modules loaded when it boots vs whtn its working and make the system auto load the proper modules at boot
[09:48] <llutz> clueless2: filetransfer is only one tiny aspect of ssh
[09:48] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  ssh makes ftp obsolete.
[09:48] <dsl_> I have some serious remote blues, anyone using the ATi Remote Wonder I?
[09:48] <lstarnes> clueless2: ssh is a remote login/administration protocol
[09:48] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:   use ssh, and forget about ftp :)
[09:48] <lstarnes> clueless2: it works somewhat like a command line, but can do more
[09:48] <^mNotIntelligent> mauri, you can compare the drivers pre-loaded and the one getting loaded once you plug your device...
[09:48] <SpaceGhostC2C> !ssh > clueless2
[09:48] <clueless2> Dr_Willis .. i see
[09:49] <SpaceGhostC2C> lstarnes, you can do the same thing in ssh that you can do in the normal command line environment.
[09:49] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  install winscp on a windows box and you can transfer stuff back/forth to a windows machine  :)  handy tools
[09:49] <cottage> hi! i have hp scanner2400 half working any ideas im a novice
[09:49] <mauri> ^mNotIntelligent: ops...where I can find the 2 files to compare
[09:49] <clueless2> Space;Dr_Willis,lstarness.. you're all here most of the time.
[09:49] <clueless2> ?
[09:49] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  yes.. I dont have a life.
[09:49] <Dr_Willis> :P
[09:49] <SpaceGhostC2C> clueless2, I try to maintain a healthy lifestyle. By that, I mean I log into wow about 6-12 hours of the day.
[09:49] <clueless2> Dr_Willis ... cool!
[09:50] <clueless2> Dr_Willis, Space.. how long you've been using Unix/lInux?
[09:50] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  since 1986
[09:50] <clueless2> space .. dang 6-12 hours?
[09:50] <clueless2> geese!
[09:50] <clueless2> Dr_Willis .. you're an admin?
[09:50] <SpaceGhostC2C> clueless2, how else am I to level?
[09:50] <^mNotIntelligent> mauri, its not that straight forward... once your system is up...plug the device and run "dmesg or dmesg|tail " to find the drivers getting loaded for that device. then we have to make sure that driver is pre-loaded in boot time...
[09:50] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  No.
[09:51] <clueless2> i c .
[09:51] <clueless2> thanks all..
[09:51] <clueless2> let me get back and concentrate on the learning center here
[09:51] <clueless2> wish me good luck ..

[09:54] <mauri> ^mNotIntelligent: done... only 10 lines
[09:54] <bdgraue> kontagious: do u have an usb to ps2 adapter?
[09:54] <bigmack83> ^mNotIntelligent, in the remote desktop app i use the other persons IP but it still wont let me connect. i have tried their internal and external IP and tried both theirs and my username but nothing.
[09:54] <kontagious> i think lying around somewhere
[09:55] <kontagious> its been a long time since i've used it
[09:55] <bdgraue> kontagious: i would search for it and give it a try :)
[09:55] <kontagious> how can a usb mouse not work :S
[09:56] <Hans_Henrik> i need to see on my screen witch buttons is pressed down on my keyboard, any1 know how this can be done?
[09:56] <SpaceGhostC2C> kontagious, it's possible to complete installation without a mouse, if the problem persists then the problem will have just reached code ugly-ubuntu-orange :)
[09:56] <llutz> Hans_Henrik: xev
[09:57] <Hans_Henrik> llutz: xev?
[09:57] <llutz> Hans_Henrik: xev, start it in a terminal
[09:57] <RaptorQuest> I have just upgraded to 9.10.  Bad mistake.  The computer now takes up to 15 minutes and multiplle retries to boot; it hangs random;y; it is very, very slow.

[10:02] <Rum> hi everyone
[10:02] <RaptorQuest> after much fooling around I finally got postgresql installed and now it wants a validation key that it did not mention during installation.  I removed it and reinstalled to verify.

[10:06] <^mNotIntelligent> mauri, that i got....but is that usb mouse, kbd or else
[10:06] <Kud> Dr_Willis: I think my GDM issue is going a little further than you, or even I for that matter, thought. I'm using epedermis to install a new GDM theme, I downloaded one from the default repo and applied it, logged out, and I'm still getting the default Human(I believe) theme at the login GDM. Any ideas what could be forcing this theme to be stuck?
[10:07] <RiverRat> What is the command to restart the NFS services?    Thanks.
[10:10] <Kud> Anyone know why/how GDMs can get stuck on a single theme even after updating the GDM itself? I've tried multiple ways (gconftool, epidermis, etc), but nothing is working. It's stuck on the human theme.

[10:10] <^mNotIntelligent> mauri,  we are done with the first step...and the next step would be to check for that module/firmware when you boot your system with the device plugged in....so just reboot you machine and run this: dmesg|grep -i "dvb-usb-af9015.fw" and let me know the result...

[10:14] <Flannel> eGo0sTyle: If I remember correctly, there are no ftp downloads for the isos anymore (officially)

[10:14] <Kud> Anyone know why/how GDMs can get stuck on a single theme even after updating the GDM itself? I've tried multiple ways (gconftool, epidermis, etc), but nothing is working. It's stuck on the human theme. --Sorry for the repeat, kind of desperate as google is returning nothing concerning my situation.

[10:15] <Flannel> eGo0sTyle: You'll need to get the iso in some way besides FTP.  I don't think Ubuntu has FTP servers for CD mirrors anymore.  You might be able to find an unofficial one though.  I'm sure they're out there

[10:19] <llutz> clueless2: "ssh localhost"
[10:19] <gabex> hey peeps, question.  HD is going bad - wanna replce with another HD; but what is the best way to copy my entire ubuntu install over?
[10:19] <gabex> i can tack on the new HD as a slave...
[10:19] <llutz> gabex: rsync/cp -a
[10:19] <Flannel> gabex: find and cpio
[10:19] <gabex> and there will be no problems with the hd space differing ?
[10:20] <llutz> gabex: not if you copy filewise
[10:20] <gabex> i'll try to make the partition scheme the same, except the size of / will be different...
[10:20] <gabex> ah, okay.
[10:20] <gabex> thanks.
[10:20] <gabex> here's a funny one
[10:20] <gabex> does it *really* make things faster to compile with -march=i686 ?
[10:20] <llutz> gabex: just make sure to fix grub/fstab after copying
[10:20] <gabex> ya
[10:20] <gabex> thx
[10:20] <mauri> ^mNotIntelligent: are you there?

[10:22] <clueless2> like ftp .. i have my Windows machine connected
[10:23] <lstarnes> clueless2: you need something that can transfer files over ssh
[10:23] <Flannel> clueless2: Download filezilla on your windows machine and use that
[10:23] <frybye> Hi - I initially set up karmic to auto-login with no demand for pw etc.. how do I switch this to get login window etc when starting?
[10:23] <clueless2> lstarness.. i've already install WINSCP on my Windows machine ..
[10:23] <^mNotIntelligent> mauri, k then we need to find why the driver is not gettign loaded in the first place...
[10:23] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  i mentioned 'winscp' earlier
[10:23] <lstarnes> clueless2: you could try using winscp then
[10:24] <mauri> ^mNotIntelligent: drive me please..im not an expert
[10:24] <clueless2> tried to log onto but it's not doing anyting . meaning screen is pausing ..nothing happens
[10:24] <Flannel> clueless2: Ah, winscp will work too
[10:24] <Dr_Willis> winscp does a good job here.
[10:24] <clueless2> likes it's trying to do something
[10:24] <gabex> it's a great program...
[10:24] <gabex> better than putty's command line psftp
[10:24] <clueless2> Flannel ..just installed the WINSCP ..u mentioned earlier ..
[10:24] <clueless2> on my Windows box
[10:24] <gabex> also google chrome "developer

[10:28] <enovativ> llutz: thanks
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  you use winscp on the wiondows box to connect TO the linux box.   the linux box does not connect to 'winscp'
[10:28] <nutzer> llo

[10:34] <clueless2> disable windows firewall on the PC itself?
[10:34] <Dr_Willis> leshaste:  it works with compiz here. There are some compiz settings/tweaks/work arounds i recall seeing in the 'ccsm' config tool
[10:34] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  windows firewall may be blocking things.. yes...
[10:35] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:   try pinging from windows to other machines.. and from other machines to windows box also.
[10:35] <leshaste> Dr_Willis: ok I gave up and used -vo x11 which isn't ideal

[10:36] <clueless2> DrWillis ..stupid question (pardon me for asking) .. to find out the IP from LInux ... type in "ifconfig" right?
[10:36] <Dr_Willis> leshaste:  several front ends can do that. try winff, or avidmux
[10:36] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  thats one way
[10:36] <nutzer> ny nicht
[10:37] <leshaste> Dr_Willis: winff isn't in a ubuntu repository ?

[10:41] <clueless2> well ..not everything ...

[10:41] <clueless2> Dr_Willis ..it makes sense.  Thanks!
[10:41] <clueless2> i know how to fix and restricted now ..
[10:41] <hamza> fr?
[10:41] <hamza> fr??
[10:41] <Dr_Willis> ssh/scp is for letting users access their stuff.. Not for letting in 'unknown people'  to get to your p0rn
[10:42] <hamza> ???
[10:42] <clueless2> Dr_Willis .. i really want to learn how to use the COMMANDs than pointing and clicking it.. on Linux

[10:42] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  then get to reading bash tutorials  and cli guides.
[10:42] <clueless2> i guess .. i'll have to work a bit hard on that.. hehe
[10:42] <leshaste> Dr_Willis: do any of them?
[10:42] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  install putty and you can get to the shell

[10:43] <ranjan> how to edit pdf file in ubuntu
[10:43] <leshaste> ranjan: only inkscape I think
[10:43] <leshaste> ranjan: which is only suitable for one page pdf's currently
[10:43] <clueless2> DrWillis .. i'm using PUtty right now..
[10:44] <clueless2> i guess I don't know how to use the "upload" feature in Linux .. i'm used to drag and drop
[10:44] <leshaste> Dr_Willis: ah ok. It just seems such a basic feature. I am reading all these pages on how to calculate bitrates
[10:44] <clueless2> what's the command name to upload? and upload?
[10:44] <Dr_Willis> leshaste:  a basic feature that has tobe very very very smart? :)
[10:44] <ranjan> i have numerous pages document so what should i go for
[10:44] <leshaste> Dr_Willis: :) like all the best ones!
[10:44] <ranjan> leshaste::i have numerous pages document so what should i go for
[10:44] <clueless2> Dr_Willis .. don't answer that question ..
[10:45] <clueless2> let me do research
[10:45] <clueless2> don't do it
[10:45] <clueless2> thanks
[10:45] <^mNotIntelligent> mauri, i dint get any information dude....give me the last pastebin link....
[10:45] <leshaste> ranjan: you need to actually edit the pdf? I think your options are to use a windows up under wine or to separate the pdf into individual pages and use inkscape
[10:45] <mauri> ^mNotIntelligent: http://pastebin.com/m3928f23d
[10:46] <^mNotIntelligent> mauri, k ...let me check...
[10:46] <^mNotIntelligent> mauri, have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=395560
[10:47] <ranjan> leshaste ::ok and how to resamble all this pages back into an single file .. as it was previous
[10:47] <leshaste> ranjan: pdfjam has tools for all that I think
[10:47] <leshaste> ranjan: it goes via latex :)

[10:47] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  theres dozens of ways to transfer files.
[10:47] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  read up on ssh/scp
[10:48] <^mNotIntelligent> mauri, go through the last link...thats i guess the same what you are facing....did you check that
[10:48] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  install 'xming' on the windows box. and you can 'connect' to the linux bx and run linux apps and have them appear on the windows box also.
[10:48] <mauri> ^mNotIntelligent: I'm lookink into
[10:48] <^mNotIntelligent> mauri, coool
[10:49] <clueless2> DrWillis .. PUTTY ..using PUTTY .right now
[10:49] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  so?
[10:49] <mauri> ^mNotIntelligent: there are only lp and rtc modules.....nothing about my pendrive
[10:49] <clueless2> DrWillis ..so Xming will allow me to use the use the upload/download capabilityh?
[10:50] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  you can install xming, and enable xforwarding in putty.. then if ya ran 'gnome-terminal'  it would run and display on the windows box
[10:50] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  ssh/scp can transfer files.
[10:50] <clueless2> Dr_willis... i'm trying to avoid using the "easiest way" drag and drop .. i want to be able to log on the ssh and be able to upload/download file ..
[10:50] <^mNotIntelligent> mauri, the last link...you just have to add your module in /etc/module file....to make sure it gets loaded on boot...thats it
[10:50] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  then you will need a ssh server on the windows box.
[10:50] <clueless2> drwillis .. i see
[10:51] <Dr_Willis> clueless2:  or read the putty docs.. you are using putty to get a SHELL on the linux box. not transfer files.
[10:51] <mauri> ^mNotIntelligent: ok but i dont now thich is the right module to load
[10:51] <clueless2> Dr_willis .. i see
[10:52] <clueless2> i see.. so PUTTY is just to access the Linux box only
[10:52] <clueless2> i see
[10:52] <Dr_Willis> PuTTY is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Win32 and Unix platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator. It is written and maintained primarily by Simon Tatham.
[10:52] <Dr_Willis> http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

[10:57] <MindVirus> Hello. I have a gig of memory and almost all of it is being used without any open apps other than pidgin and rhythmbox. How can I reduce this?
[10:57] <BlouBlou> Ersoy: webcam?
[10:58] <Ersoy> BlouBlou, hand
[10:58] <Dr_Willis> MindVirus:  it is being used as cache and will be freed up when needed
[10:58] <Dr_Willis> MindVirus:  its not worth worrying about
[10:58] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: this is not true.
[10:58] <Dr_Willis> MindVirus:  if you say so.. good luck
[10:58] <MindVirus> When I open up other applications things start lagging.
[10:58] <MindVirus> Very badly.
[10:58] <Ersoy> error: warninf: raw1394 kernel module not loaded or failure ....
[10:58] <dAlfa89_> Can I stop X for another runlevel?
[10:58] <MindVirus> If I didn't have prior experience I wouldn't disagree, Dr_Willis.
[10:58] <Dr_Willis> MindVirus:  you do have swap space enabvled? is THAT full as well?
[10:58] <frogzoo> dAlfa89_: sure, if you set it up that way, not sure the current kernel allows booting alternate runlevels mind
[10:59] <Ersoy> warning: raw1394 kernel module not loaded or failure ....
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> MindVirus:  theres also known memory leaks with flash/other apps. those can be harder to track down
[10:59] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: I am using the automatic swapping program. I forget what it's called.
[10:59] <Ersoy> hoe can i load kernel module ?
[10:59] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: I am using 25/50MB swap.
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> auto matic swapping program? Huh?
[10:59] <dAlfa89_> frogzoo: If I try startx on say, runlevel 5, it complains that it's already running once

[11:00] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, initial guess would be to look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire

[11:00] <MindVirus> I forget what it is. One second; I will find out what it is.
[11:00] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: It's called "swapspace".

[11:01] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: It uses filesystem space to swap when it's needed and frees it up when it doesn't.
[11:01] <Elephantman-> got a small problem trying to add a screen resolution with xrandr. I've read the docs & co, seems like newmode and addmode work, but when I swap the screen resolution to the correct one, the config interface just resets to the previous value
[11:02] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: Because I am using an SSD and they have low max write count.
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> MindVirus:  sounds like that would cause  a lot of lag/issues.
[11:02] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: Memory usage shouldn't be this high anyways.
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> but. by changeing the swapspace.. seems that would make the writes more....
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> Never used it.. so cant tell if thats the issue or not.
[11:03] <darFlo> are there any infos when I can expect to reach packages.ubuntu.com again?
[11:03] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: 1GB should be enough to swap extremely rarely.
[11:03] <Dr_Willis> MindVirus:  unless somthing crashed and grabs a lot of ram.  but how to prove it one way or another.. is the question
[11:03] <Dr_Willis> does it have the issue from a new clean reboot.. is one test i guess.
[11:04] <Dr_Willis> vs being slower as the system runs for a longer time
[11:04] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: So ~300MB is cached.
[11:04] <Travis1> ok I've been told to come here with my issue. I loaded Karmic 64bit and my graphics driver isn't working. Tried commenting out the "vesa" line of my xorg.conf file since I'm running a radeon 3650 vid card. Rebooted. got blank screen loading X. It can't be a mtrr issue as thought of on my previous 32bit installation since 64bit recognises all 4g of my RAM. Thoughts anyone?
[11:04] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: and I was wrong by an order of magnitude for the swap; it's actually 250/500MB swap.
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> thats more swap then what my fileserver has. :)
[11:05] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: I shouldn't need swap, dude. :(
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> disable it then.. and see.
[11:06] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: I'm saying that memory usage should be lower.
[11:06] <MindVirus> Can I do anything about it?
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> and im saying that somthing could have crashed and sucked down the ram..
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> or leaks in varioys programs.
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> theres proberly ways to get linux to free up the cache. but those are proberly just  a band aid around the actual programs that are missbehaving
[11:07] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: How can I fix that?
[11:07] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, still here?
[11:07] <Ersoy> yes i am here
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> see what top says is using all the ram (or ntop)
[11:07] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: Well, I'm using Chromium and Pidgin, both full of memory leaks.
[11:07] <Ersoy> gksudo modprobe raw1394
[11:07] <Ersoy> gksudo modprobe dv1394
[11:07] <Ersoy> but i cant connect :(
[11:07] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, the method on this page looks promising: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation
[11:08] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: Xorg is using 80MB.
[11:08] <ibuclaw> Ersoy,  sudo adduser USERNAME video
[11:08] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, replace USERNAME with your username
[11:08] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: Then pulseaudio, pidgin, rhythmbox, and compiz, at 44MB, 40MB, 30MB, and 25MB respectively.
[11:09] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, then:  sudo adduser USERNAME audio
[11:09] <Ersoy> ibuclaw, video:x:44:huseyin
[11:09] <dAlfa89_> Can choose to skip the GDM login from the command line?
[11:09] <MindVirus> I would love to get rid of pulseaudio. I hear of great success with this. Is this possible?
[11:09] <Ersoy> ibuclaw, audio:x:29:pulse,huseyin
[11:09] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, cools
[11:10] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, then:  sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/65-permission-raw.rules
[11:10] <happylol> how do I change the permissions of a folder in /var/ ??
[11:10] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, and paste this into the file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/335812/plain/
[11:11] <ibuclaw> the contents of the link, not the link itself...
[11:11] <Ersoy> ok i add
[11:11] <Ersoy> try again?
[11:11] <zerq> does ubuntu no longer come with vim by default, or did I somehow remove it without realizing it..
[11:11] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, reboot for the permissions to be updated properly
[11:11] <Dr_Willis> happylol:  why do you need to  answer is 'sudo chmod <OPTIONS> /var/whatever'
[11:11] <brainsail> are there different kernels for upgraded and for fresh installs of karmic?
[11:12] <Dr_Willis> zerq:  it has vim-tiny i recall. and you can install the 'vim' package fr the full featured vim
[11:12] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: Any suggestions?
[11:12] <Ersoy> oh sorry ok, reboot
[11:12] <Dr_Willis> MindVirus:  do a clean reboot and monitor whats what.. and watch for leaks I guess.
[11:12] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, ping me when your back
[11:12] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: What is a "clean reboot"?
[11:12] <Dr_Willis> MindVirus:   if leaks are happing in the browser.   well. theres daily builds of chromoim browser i recall.
[11:13] <happylol> Dr_Willis: what would be the <OPTIONS> to make a folder's owner, group and other permissions to "Can View & Modify COntent" ?
[11:13] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: That's what I'm using.
[11:13] <Dr_Willis> MindVirus:  reboot. so you are at a clean system
[11:13] <Dr_Willis> !chmod | happylol
[11:13] <happylol> !chmod
[11:13] <mandal> kknnk
[11:13] <Dr_Willis> MindVirus:  and that browser is very much a work in progress. it proberly has lots of leans.
[11:13] <MindVirus> Dr_Willis: OK.
[11:13] <happylol> !chmod |
[11:13] <MindVirus> Thanks a lot.

[11:34] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, ok
[11:34] <petsounds> alabd : you dont write understandable question, i only guess!
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> change it to what. :)
[11:34] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, remove the device
[11:34] <marko-_-> hello, since yesterday nautilus is crashing all the time and inkscape is really laggy, i don't know why... that is happening after i removed /usr/share/gimp... i tried restarting X, rebooting the machine, running nautilus and it runs but then freeze
[11:34] <dAlfa89_> fabio: There was, but it's dead ):
[11:34] <alex88> how can i change the kernel of my vps? there are no files in the /boot folder...
[11:34] <dAlfa89_> Dr_Willis: Broken theme, trying to change back to Human or whatever ):
[11:35] <Ersoy> ibuclaw, ok remove
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> dAlfa89_:  the epidermis tool perhaps?
[11:35] <alex88> and i can't boot from newly installed kernels
[11:35] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, open a terminal
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> http://epidermis.tuxfamily.org/
[11:35] <Ersoy> ok
[11:35] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, and paste in:   dmesg > dmesg.before
[11:36] <Qtpaxa> does anybody know any offline feedreader with image cache support?
[11:36] <Ersoy> sudo ?
[11:36] <Ersoy> ibuclaw, sudo ?
[11:36] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, no need for sudo
[11:36] <Ersoy> ok
[11:36] <Ersoy> ok paste
[11:37] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, then insert the device and wait 10-15
[11:37] <ibuclaw> seconds
[11:37] <dAlfa89_> Dr_Willis: And I'm supposed to use that how? o:
[11:37] <Ersoy> ok
[11:37] <Dr_Willis> dAlfa89_:  it lets you change the various gdm and other themes.
[11:37] <Dr_Willis> dAlfa89_:  or you could try purgeing the gdm packages then reinstlling them.
[11:38] <bornsleepy> can some one please explain to me what is exactly " single partion Dual Booting,
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> dAlfa89_:  dependingon how you broke the gdm theme
[11:38] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, then paste into the terminal:   dmesg > dmesg.after
[11:38] <Ersoy> ibuclaw, i did
[11:38] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, and:   diff dmesg.before dmesg.after
[11:39] <dAlfa89_> Dr_Willis: I tried installing a theme, it now doesn't load login, just displays loading cursor, hence why I wanted to change back to Human or something
[11:39] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, then paste the output into http://paste.ubuntu.com
[11:39] <alex88> how can i change the kernel of my vps? there are no files in the /boot folder...and i don't know how to boot from newly installed kernels..
[11:39] <jensm1> Is there anyone who can be kind and help me with preparting disk space for installing kubuntu?
[11:40] <jensm1> sorry Dissconected..  was there anyone who were willing to help kubuntu intsall disk prepare?
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> dAlfa89_: installed how? You could stop the gdm service at the console and login and use startx i guess.  and try to fix it from the desktop.  But the only gdm tweaking ive done in 9.1o is with epidermis, or by altering xsplash images.
[11:40] <Ersoy> ibuclaw, output? dmesg.before and diff dmesg.before dmesg.after ?
[11:40] <Ersoy> sorry i dont understand
[11:41] <cumulus007> is there any way to use an OpenSUSE repository on Ubuntu, or at least download the packages and convert them to deb with alien?
[11:41] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, did: "diff dmesg.before dmesg.after" output anything into the console screen?
[11:41] <dAlfa89_> Dr_Willis: Ah, 9.04 (: I used the "Add" button on the GDM themes list \:
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> cumulus007:  thats proberly not a good idea. you could go to their server and download the .rpms i guess and convert them
[11:41] <newuser1> Hey everyone , need some help, while i m on live cd i see my partitions this way.. http://www.imgx.org/pfiles/20237/Screenshot.png
[11:42] <newuser1> which says my linux specified partition is 128gigs.
[11:42] <Dr_Willis> dAlfa89_:  No idea on that then. Ive never had a gdm theme break on 9.04 -   I always set that list to 'random'  that way it picked different ones.
[11:42] <newuser1> while m on windows it shows 29gigs which i had  made earlier..  http://www.imgx.org/files/52674_sk9aw/drives.png
[11:42] <cumulus007> Dr_Willis: the only problem is there are a lot of rpms in that folder and downloading them one by one is not a good idea
[11:42] <Dr_Willis> dAlfa89_:  so go to the console, stop gdm, login , use 'startx' then select a different theme.
[11:42] <Ersoy> ibuclaw, No, nothing
[11:42] <newuser1> alright. i m messing arnd.
[11:42] <Dr_Willis> cumulus007:  thats what gui ftp clients are for..  or wget.. good luck getting ANY of them to acktually work
[11:42] <newuser1> can anyone help me with my partition issues ?
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> cumulus007:  using alien is   a gamble. :)
[11:43] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, ok, afaik - it's not detecting.
[11:43] <jensm1> newuser1 I also have partition issues
[11:43] <g477o__> hello guys

[11:43] <The_ManU_212> hi
[11:43] <MFawzy> ppl I'm having a strange problem .... every partition I mount I am the owner of it while SU doesn't have permissions to write to it !!! how can I solve this ?
[11:43] <Ersoy> sorry
 can i PM u ?
[11:43] <ibuclaw> Ersoy: rm dmesg.before
[11:43] <g477o__> mm I guess I have a problem too
[11:43] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, gedit dmesg.after
[11:44] <shrikant> how i can select multiple packages and install them
[11:44] <Dr_Willis> MFawzy:  clearify what you mean by 'SU'  what are you suing exactly?
[11:44] <jensm1> Newuser1: Write here so all can see then more ppl can help, I try, erase and use entire disk now
[11:44] <frogzoo> MFawzy: chances are they failed fsck & been remounted read only
[11:44] <The_ManU_212> i use hardy heron 8.04 and installed ggrub2 becasue of another linux which uses ext4 as fs, grub2 recognizes only my ubuntu kernels, but not my windows neither my other linux
[11:44] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, put the entire contents of the file into http://paste.ubuntu.com
[11:44] <ibuclaw> and paste the link here
[11:44] <Dr_Willis> shrikant:  synaptic package manager lets you do that.
[11:44] <home_> Dr_Willis: Trying to stop gdm and startx just makes it complain it's already running for "display 0" (dAlfa89_ here)
[11:44] <newuser1> k .
[11:44] <Dr_Willis> home_:  'sudo service gdm stop
[11:44] <Dr_Willis> home_:  should stop it.. unless theres some weird lock file hanging about.
[11:45] <shrikant> ok thanks
[11:45] <MFawzy> frogzoo: I'm using a script that supposes that su can create files and folders !

[11:45] <newuser1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/335828/plain/
[11:45] <Ersoy> ibuclaw, http://paste.ubuntu.com/335829/
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> MFawzy:  its suing to what user exactly? root? or some other user?
[11:45] <newuser1> Partition problem please help me - http://paste.ubuntu.com/335828/plain/
[11:45] <home_> Dr_Willis: Well there WAS, seems it has disappeared, luckily
[11:45] <MFawzy> I guess
[11:46] <Ersoy> ibuclaw, i can use my camera on 9.04 and debian lenny
[11:46] <Dr_Willis> MFawzy:  su ing to root is not enabled on ubuntu.   ubuntu uses sudo
[11:46] <Dr_Willis> MFawzy:  if you trust that script you could run it with sudo i guess...
[11:46] <SpaceGhostC2C> Dr_Willis, can you not just sudo su to get root?
[11:46] <home_> Dr_Willis: "error in locking authority file /home/home/.Xauthority"
[11:46] <MFawzy> it is suing to root ! however when I enter the permisions tab root group doesn't have permisons to create files
[11:47] <Dr_Willis> SpaceGhostC2C:  sudo su is bad.. :)
[11:47] <jensm1> Newuser1: so what errors do u get?
[11:47] <MFawzy> is this normal ?
[11:47] <Dr_Willis> SpaceGhostC2C:  use 'sudo -s' or 'sudo -i'
[11:47] <grawity> SpaceGhostC2C: You can (though sudo -s or sudo -i is much better) -- the problem is that the script doesn't do that.
[11:47] <ru83n> join #web
[11:47] <Dr_Willis> home_:  try deleting that .Xauth* file perhaps?   startx should make that file as needed I think
[11:47] <MFawzy> I get "permission denied" !
[11:47] <newuser1> jensm1 i dont get any error but the size are weird so how do i know if m installating on the proper drive ? moroever 1 drive goes missing while on live cd
[11:48] <SpaceGhostC2C> Dr_Willis, I'm not trying to troll. What is the difference? I want to know what it does. I'm a curious creature.
[11:48] <Dr_Willis> MFawzy:  what is this badly done script for anyway?
[11:48] <ManDay> Didn't gnome have some floating panel (not docked to edge) sort of?
[11:48] <Dr_Willis> SpaceGhostC2C:  theres a few urls that detal it.   basically its about enviroment settings
[11:48] <Dr_Willis> SpaceGhostC2C:  sudo su is 'redundant' :)
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> and dosent set up the enviroment properly
[11:49] <ManDay> Dr_Willis, sudo su is perfecty fine
[11:49] <ManDay> (sudo su -)
[11:49] <jensm1> newuser1: dont know
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  in some cases.. and in some it breaks things badly

[11:50] <SpaceGhostC2C> Dr_Willis, I'll look into the differences. I've used it for quite some time now, and I'll look into the other options.
[11:50] <Dr_Willis> 'sudo su' is defainatly one of those things that can cause odd issues
[11:50] <Dr_Willis> !info sux
[11:50] <Dr_Willis> Im old skoll and like to use 'sux' also. :)

[11:50] <Dr_Willis> next topic.. :) 'dash' vs 'bash' :)
[11:51] <home_> Dr_Willis: Nope, still failing to create/lock it, it no longer exists \:
[11:51] <Ersoy> brw?
[11:51] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, then you should be OK on the Linux detection end -  and may want to look into if it is Kino that is pointing to the wrong device.
[11:51] <Dr_Willis> home_:  thats weird.  this is from a simple 'startx' command ?
[11:51] <home_> Dr_Willis: Yep, does the same if I sudo it
[11:52] <Dr_Willis> home_:   You did a 'sudo startx' ? icky.
[11:52] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, in Kino, go to Edit -> Preferences
[11:52] <home_> Dr_Willis: I know, slap me, I was just checking (:
[11:52] <Dr_Willis> home_:  i hope that dident change any weird file permissions
[11:52] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, then check under the "IEEE 1394" tab what the settings are
[11:52] <Ersoy> ibuclaw, nothing
[11:53] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, and clicking on the dropdown shows nothing too?
[11:53] <home_> Dr_Willis: I doubt it did, it's supposed to be a file in my home directory after all
[11:53] <Ersoy> yes, nothing
[11:53] <Dr_Willis> home_:  you could try the 'rescue/revcovery mode - that way gdm dosetn even get tried to start.
[11:53] <Dr_Willis> home_:  hopefully its not owned by root now. :)
[11:53] <Dr_Willis> home_:  as a test. you could make a new user. and see if they can 'startx'
[11:53] <home_> Dr_Willis: Will do that now
[11:54] <Dr_Willis> home_:  on 9.04 i BELIVE the gnome theme setting is in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf Or some where with that name.
[11:54] <Dr_Willis> home_:  you could edit that file by hand.
[11:54] <ManDay> Q: Screenlets or Desklets?
[11:55] <ManDay> (Which one do you use - if any?)
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  i find both lacking.
[11:55] <ManDay> So what do you suggest, Willis?
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  depends on what you really need.
[11:55] <devrim> hello, my ubuntu 9.10 is really slowly when its startup. 9.04 was much faster. what can i do
[11:55] <home_> Dr_Willis: That's what I did a few minutes ago, to no avail: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=870982
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> google also has gizmos and so does opera.
[11:55] <SpaceGhostC2C> ManDay: I suggest applets.
[11:55] <SpaceGhostC2C> ManDay, or of the choices you provided, Screenlets
[11:56] <ManDay> Something that's better than the freaking gnome-panel, willis
[11:56] <ManDay> Because the gnome-panel becomes more of a PITA every day
[11:56] <ManDay> And is very limited at the same time.
[11:56] <ManDay> Applets is it also a desktop widgeds package?
[11:56] <Dr_Willis> if you want a panel replacement try  'docky' (it has ppa repos) or some of the other docks
[11:57] <SpaceGhostC2C> !enter | ManDay
[11:57] <Dr_Willis> You are proberly not going to find  desklets/screenlets to totally replace the panels.
[11:57] <Dr_Willis> I perfer the panel to most alternatives.. I find these Docks more of a PITA then they are worth.
[11:57] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, see if the command:  dvgrab
[11:57] <SpaceGhostC2C> ManDay, if you want a dock I like Cairo-dock it's in the repositories.
[11:57] <ManDay> Is there any way, by the way, to get totally rid of gnome but KEEP compiz?
[11:57] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, gives any indication
[11:57] <SpaceGhostC2C> Dr_Willis, I actually have that.
[11:58] <Ersoy> ibuclaw, dvgrab: command not found
[11:58] <devrim> hello, my ubuntu 9.10 is really slowly when its startup. 9.04 was much faster. what can i do
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  compiz is  a window manager.. you  run it instead of metacity but its designed to work with the gnome window decorators.. so whats the point. :) unless you want to use emerald.
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> SpaceGhostC2C:  i perfer 'docky'
[11:58] <devrim> its take more then 2 min
[11:59] <ubuntu-user> What should i do to use the internet from ubuntu 9.10
[11:59] <ManDay> Ok, so there is "docky", "applets", "gizmo" (whats the exact name?), "screenlets" and "desklets" - anything else`
[11:59] <home_> Dr_Willis: New user still can't startx, times out trying to lock .Xauthority
[11:59] <Ersoy> ibuclaw, The program 'dvgrab' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[11:59] <Ersoy> sudo apt-get install dvgrab
[11:59] <Ersoy> dvgrab: command not found
[11:59] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  dozens of similer things.
[11:59] <Dr_Willis> home_:  that IS weird
[12:00] <home_> Dr_Willis: It is, I shall henceforth herald GDM theming as the Devil's work.
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> home_:  as a test make a .xinitrc that has  the line 'xterm' in it. and see if it starts up X with just a terminal window
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> home_:  i dont see how its gdm causeing the issue at all
[12:00] <home_> Dr_Willis: I don't see how it's anything else, nothing else has been changed
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> home_:   You could install wdm, or kdm. or other alterantives
[12:01] <ManDay> SpaceGhostC2C, what kindof "applets" were you talking about?
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> home_:  using startx bypasses gdm totally
[12:01] <ManDay> Got a link?
[12:02] <smknight> hmm, i attached an external display to my x60, everytime i wanna change something with the display tool gnome freezes and i have to hard reboot
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> home_:  you could (hard core and may break things)  'sudo apt-get purge gdm' and 'sudo apt-get install gdm'
[12:02] <smknight> ubuntu 9.10, gma 950
[12:02] <smknight> any ideas?
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> home_:  or try ti set it up to use 'xdm'  'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xdm' will let you later select gdm or xdm.

[12:10] <SpaceGhostC2C> ManDay, I use screenlets.

[12:10] <sensouci2> Hi could any one help me setting up users on my ubunt workstation?
[12:10] <ManDay> unless anyone can tell me something better to get a more flexible alternative to gnome-panel
[12:11] <SpaceGhostC2C> Sacho, he needs to ask in the russian ubuntu channel.
[12:11] <dn5> ok no problem dude.. just help me where i can find .thm themes beuro888
[12:11] <g477o__> anyone can help me on mounting a secondary ntfs disk ?
[12:11] <ManDay> SpaceGhostC2C, does screenlets have a window-list widget?
[12:11] <dn5> on gnome-look they are .7z
[12:11] <SpaceGhostC2C> ManDay, yessir.
[12:11] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, you can install dvgrab, right?  After that, try running it. typing in 'dvgrab'  should do
[12:11] <Dr_Willis> !7z
[12:11] <ManDay> because thats what im really looking for. the window list of gnome-panel is just horrid
[12:11] <SpaceGhostC2C> ManDay, I am using it right now.
[12:11] <ManDay> great, thanks SpaceGhostC2C
[12:11] <beuro888> dn5: .thm? never heard of them!  you install themes from .tgz and such normally
[12:11] <sensouci2> How do I do to have a second user with same right as the initial user ?
[12:12] <dn5> ok tnx :)
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  thrs some alternative panel applets that can replace that
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  'dockbarx' i thinkis the name of one
[12:12] <g477o__> can anyone  help me on mounting a secondary ntfs disk ?
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> g477o__:  install/run ntfs-config and it might add the thing to the fstab
[12:13] <g477o__> I have that one
[12:13] <dn5> anyone help me to learn commands for conky config file?
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> dn5:  conky homepage has a Huge abount of docs on that topic
[12:13] <g477o__> I mount'd the disk in a virtual directory but it is no longer usable neither in win or ubuntu
[12:13] <dn5> ok let me see.. tnx dr_wills
[12:14] <ManDay> Dr_Willis, thanks but that doesnt seem to offer enough. I want less of bar then more a configurable dock which is flexible in terms of size and appearance
[12:14] <sp4z> does anybody know how to change the resolution of a non-quiet boot? changing the grub resolution only changes it for the grub menu
[12:14] <dolphin84> ruusian ubuntu pleas
[12:14] <aguitel> how convert rmvb to avi
[12:15] <ManDay> SpaceGhostC2C, so I take it screenlets has everything i need, including a launcher menu and also a notifcation area so it can hold all the stuff that gnome-panel used to hold - so i can get rid of gnome-panel for good?
[12:15] <ubuntu-user> I have network with 10 pc use windows OS and all of them conncted to the internet over a modem have the IP <IP_ADDRESS> shat should i do to use the internet from ubuntu 9.10
[12:15] <dolphin84> как перейти на руусскую
[12:15] <SpaceGhostC2C> !ru | dolphin84
[12:15] <slax> hello
[12:16] <SpaceGhostC2C> ManDay, I actually got rid of everything but the main menu part and then told it not to expand and then told it to autohide to the top of the screen, then I installed cairo-dock
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> aguitel:  i belive mencoder or ffmpeg can do that. or front ends like winff, avidemux
[12:16] <ManDay> SpaceGhostC2C, dunno, cairodock seems a little overfancy to me
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  try 'docky' then - or the gnome-do 'docky' theme. but docky is now spitting off from gnome-do
[12:17] <SpaceGhostC2C> ManDay, the dock doesn't matter, I just don't use desktop icons. My wallpaper is a clock
[12:17] <aguitel> Dr_Willis, thanks ,i will try
[12:17] <ibuclaw> Ersoy, or try running 'kino' in the terminal and paste what debug output is printed.
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> Inever see my wallpaper.. i keep the apps maxamized. :)
[12:17] <ManDay> SpaceGhostC2C, my issue with gnome-panel was mostly that it doesnt work when used vertically (window list messes up etc.)
[12:18] <SpaceGhostC2C> Dr_Willis, how can it branch? docky gets some of it's hutzpah from gnome-do
[12:18] <SpaceGhostC2C> ManDay, fair, but I'd not remove it entirely. Just my $0.02
[12:18] <Dr_Willis> SpaceGhostC2C:  docky is now a stand alone app with its own ppa.  Theres some ionfo on iot at the docky homepage
[12:20] <Dr_Willis> SpaceGhostC2C:  see -> https://answers.launchpad.net/docky/+question/85800

[12:39] <s3r3n1t7> Hey guys, there's a "glitch" that has been bugging me for quite a while and is basically the only reason why I'm reluctant to fully switch over ... Every so many time, from a few seconds to a few minutes, a '4' is typed. It'll trigger whatever would have happened if i typed it myself and thus far, I'm still not aware of what caused it.
[12:39] <`jpg> Ifconfig will print out settings and infomation related to your network adapters.

[12:40] <SpaceGhostC2C> s3r3n1t7, sounds like a silly script. Rather funny, but other than that I am not sure.
[12:40] <s3r3n1t7> SpaceGhostC2C, if it was a script, it wouldn't happen on a LiveCD would it?  Does it work fine in other environments?
[12:41] <dAlfa89_> Dr_Willis: I know, it makes me sad ): Should I just purge GNOME and start again?
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> dAlfa89_:  guess ya could.
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> dAlfa89_:  not sure of the best way to do that however
[12:42] <s3r3n1t7> SpaceGhostC2C, yup, all plugged equipment works fine on another pc and laptop, it even happens on a clean boot with nothing connected (internet, USB stuff, etc)
[12:42] <SpaceGhostC2C> s3r3n1t7, I do code, so I can understand your frusteration. have you looked into issues like your own?
[12:42] <dAlfa89_> Dr_Willis: sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop? I installed Kubuntu-desktop as my backup, which I'm using
[12:43] <SpaceGhostC2C> s3r3n1t7, Has it always been an issue? Have you seen if ubuntu has any information on your specific keyboard? Have you tried it with different keyboards?
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu-desktop is a meta package
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> !purekde
[12:44] <ZORG2> What with my UBUNTU PROBLEM&&&
[12:44] <s3r3n1t7> SpaceGhostC2C, tried different keyboards and such, and from what I've gathered so far it really sends an IO signal which types a 4. Haven't found any other problems like mine, though i have been searching.
[12:44] <ZORG2> ?????
[12:44] <s3r3n1t7> SpaceGhostC2C, it can even select things if typing a 4 would have normally selected those
[12:45] <s3r3n1t7> makes me feel haunted ...
[12:45] <SpaceGhostC2C> s3r3n1t7, And this doesn't happen in other OS's?
[12:45] <SpaceGhostC2C> s3r3n1t7, sorry if I seem to be asking you questions redundantly. I'm trying to find where your issue lies.
[12:46] <s3r3n1t7> SpaceGhostC2C, well the only other OS i have is Windows, and it works just fine in there ... hence i'm still stuck coding in there .... and questions are just fine, i'll answer them as good as i can
[12:46] <SpaceGhostC2C> Dr_Willis, do you have any clues about s3r3n1t7's problem?
[12:47] <s3r3n1t7> SpaceGhostC2C, i have tried previous versions as well, the same happens there as well.
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> not been paying attention. but thers been others with 9.10 usb device issues.. or his pc is haunted
[12:47] <Chesnut> Is it possible to stop those fancy window effects on certain applications windows?
[12:47] <s3r3n1t7> tempted to make it haunted .... but that doesn't much solve the issue ...
[12:48] <SpaceGhostC2C> Chesnut,  yes look at the compizconfig-settings-manager
[12:48] <Chesnut> I do not have compiz, methinks.
[12:48] <SpaceGhostC2C> s3r3n1t7, I'm going with haunted
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> compiz does the fancy effects... no compiz - no effects
[12:48] <SpaceGhostC2C> Chesnut, what is your window decorator?
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> unless you are using KDE :)
[12:49] <Chesnut> *Shrugs* The default one. Using Gnome.
[12:49] <s3r3n1t7> SpaceGhostC2C, any chance to exorcise the hauntings?
[12:49] <dn5> how i can disconnect from a channel on irc?
[12:49] <dAlfa89_> dn5: /part
[12:49] <SpaceGhostC2C> s3r3n1t7, I'm praying to google right now.
[12:50] <SpaceGhostC2C> dn5,  /leave or just find a X somewhere.
[12:50] <s3r3n1t7> SpaceGhostC2C, i'm still doing the same ... _O_ let's pray to the gods of knowledge to answer our prayers and take these ghosts from us
[12:50] <s3r3n1t7> SpaceGhostC2C, you will have to excuse me, i'm in a funny and happy mood ...
[12:51] <SpaceGhostC2C> s3r3n1t7, the only god I know starts with G and ends in oogle. It seems that Google is being fussy. Do you have your keyboard model?
[12:51] <s3r3n1t7> SpaceGhostC2C, G15, first generation (the one with blue lights)
[12:51] <SpaceGhostC2C> s3r3n1t7, I for one make mine put on sexy underwear.
[12:52] <s3r3n1t7> SpaceGhostC2C, wish i could make mine do it ... but it somehow keeps falling right through it, it just doesn't stick
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> My logitech G15 keyboard with the lcd - works fine for me last i was using it on 9.10
[12:52] <SpaceGhostC2C> s3r3n1t7, any more of this and we'll be getting rather dirty.
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> i even used the lcd for clocks and stuff :)
[12:53] <SpaceGhostC2C> s3r3n1t7, I'm saving my pennies for the optimus keyboard thingy. With all the shiny.
[12:53] <s3r3n1t7> Dr_Willis, mine works just fine, it's that "magic" typing ...
[12:54] <daedra> anyone use the software Oregano? it is circuit board drawing software.. but with very little documentation out there
[12:54] <paschu> Hey guys, where can i find the default icons?
[12:54] <daedra> no man pages
[12:54] <sixtila> please recommend me an easy tutorial to read remote xml file in PHP
[12:54] <daedra> sixtila: ask in #PHP
[12:54] <daedra> sixtila: also, google and php.net
[12:55] <SpaceGhostC2C> paschu, you'll need to be a lot more specific. Which icons are you referring to?
[12:55] <paschu> SpaceGhostC2C, Icons for folders
[12:56] <s3r3n1t7> SpaceGhostC2C, haven't looked at those, i'm very happy with my G15 (which works fine in windows btw)
[12:56] <Chesnut> Where do I find that option to turn compiz off on certain applications in CGSM?
[12:56] <Chesnut> CCS.*
[12:56] <Chesnut> CCSM.*
[12:56] <SpaceGhostC2C> !enter | Chesnut
[12:56] <SpaceGhostC2C> Chesnut, look around it's in there, I promise.
[12:56] <SpaceGhostC2C> Chesnut, look for window decorations
[12:57] <Feyd> Hi, I have 1 paration (1 hd) with windows 7 on it, is it possible to install ubutu in dual mode without reinstalling my windows again?
[12:58] <SpaceGhostC2C> Feyd, yessir Mister Ruatha sir.
[12:58] <Feyd> SpaceGhostC2C: how?
[12:58] <mefiX> hey guys ;) i have 3 minor kernel releases in my /boot (2.6.32-[14-16]) which kinda messes up grub, how can i clean up that the ubuntu-way? (i am coming from archlinux originally)
[12:58] <paschu> Where can i find the default icons for the shortcuts on my desktop?
[12:58] <SpaceGhostC2C> Just install and resize your windows partition if you need to put it on the same drive.
[12:59] <SpaceGhostC2C> paschu: try /usr/share/pixmaps
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> Feyd:  i would suggest using windows to resize yur windwos install. and leave a section of the HD unallocated. then boot the ubuntu cd and start the ubuntu installer
[12:59] <Feyd> ubuntu installtion knows how to do that with out destryoing any data?
[12:59] <SpaceGhostC2C> mefiX, you can try sudo apt-get remove linux-kernel-headers-blahblah
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> Feyd:  it CAN - but the windows resize tool is faster i find. by like 5x
[13:00] <SpaceGhostC2C> Feyd, you can do it if you shrink your windows partition. It won't hurt your data. But as always, backup first. (I've never backed up)
[13:00] <Primo_pinguino> hello... I have a problema with my internet connection.. I use an USB stick... everythings works fine till today... I can connect but can't surf and navigate...
[13:01] <SpaceGhostC2C> Primo_pinguino, we need a bit more information on what exactly has gone awry.
[13:01] <wookienz> hi, i havea  cron job that logs into my websrver every night and pulls down certain files. It is getting about half way through all the files and stopping. Always the same amount every time. What log file would contain why it is terminating the transfer?
[13:01] <portn0k> Primo_pinguino: "use a usb stick"?  for what?  your internets?
[13:01] <Primo_pinguino> Yes I use an USB stick... from Vodafone...
[13:01] <Primo_pinguino> for connect to internet...
[13:01] <grawity> wookienz: Everything that your script outputs, will be emailed to you (local mail - usually /var/mail/$USER)
[13:02] <mimis> hi, does anyone know how can i forward tcp and udp ports of amule using firestarter?
[13:02] <SpaceGhostC2C> mimis, why not have your router forward the ports? I might be being stupid right now, if so please ignore me.
[13:02] <Usebuntu> hello :)
[13:03] <keyvan> i just moved from Windows to Linux
[13:03] <keyvan> for the nth time...
[13:03] <SpaceGhostC2C> !hi | Usebuntu
[13:03] <Usebuntu> anyone knows where can i get support to xbox1 connecting to ubuntu machine?
[13:03] <keyvan> and my strtok() commands are unrecognized by gcc.... other standard c++ functions are normal
[13:03] <Primo_pinguino> In the registry I see a string that say that it is impossible to receive the IP and so a default one has been give
[13:03] <keyvan> any idea what's going on ?
[13:03] <mimis> SpaceGhostC2C: how can i forward the posrt of the router?
[13:03] <wookienz> grawity: no mail app instlled unfort.
[13:03] <SpaceGhostC2C> mimis: are you behind a router?
[13:04] <mimis> SpaceGhostC2C: yes
[13:04] <SpaceGhostC2C> wookienz, are you the system admin? If so, install one.
[13:04] <SpaceGhostC2C> mimis, go to something like <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS> in your web browser and look around.
[13:04] <dAlfa89_> Dr_Willis: I'm back, unfortunately. I tried purging GDM and ubuntu-desktop and reinstalling to no avail, I don't know what's wrong, I'm stuck with KDE now ):
[13:05] <grawity> wookienz: Then cron probably defaults to storing the message manually.
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> dAlfa89_:  You can login to gnome from the KDM login manager? or does gnome fail to start  if you try?
[13:06] <grawity> wookienz: Anyway, if you have absolutely no mail set up, redirect the output to file - I guess you're familiar with bash's ">& file.log", add it to crontab.
[13:06] <SpaceGhostC2C> wookienz, why don't you just output all the info into a file seperated by date?
[13:06] <dAlfa89_> Dr_Willis: Fails, KDE is the only working one
[13:07] <g9g> hello guys, I made and upgrade to a server machine from 9.04 to 9.10 and all data is ok, but if I try to boot from the new kernel the boot stop with a ctrl+D  to reboot option or drop to root shell to recover
[13:07] <wookienz> grawity:  no im not familar but ill have a look at it, great idea.
[13:07] <grawity> wookienz: Eh, I meant "> file.log"
[13:07] <dAlfa89_> Dr_Willis: It registers that my login is correct, just drops back to KDM
[13:08] <grawity> wookienz: > redirects output to a file; >& redirects error messages too.
[13:08] <wookienz> cool!
[13:08] <grawity> wookienz: So just put ">& ~/myscript.log" to the end of your crontab entry.
[13:08] <dinosaurvskitten> I usually use cron for recurring things, but is there something more suited for one-time things? Say I want something to be run at 23:45 only today...
[13:08] <jrib> dinosaurvskitten: at
[13:08] <grawity> dinosaurvskitten: 'at'
[13:08] <g9g> that means the hdd are breaked? Can I make something to recover my hard drive without lose anything? what should I do ?
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> dAlfa89_:  try the failsafe/terminal session and see if you can run 'gnome-session - look for error messages
[13:08] <dinosaurvskitten> jrib / grawity: thanks
[13:09] <dAlfa89_> Dr_Willis: Failsafe fails, funnily enough, I'll be right back
[13:09] <wookienz> grawity: added in, will await with interest thelog file.
[13:09] <SpaceGhostC2C> dAlfa89_, but it fails in the safest manner posible.
[13:10] <wookienz> thanks BTW
[13:10] <paschu> Can i create a diagram, which is on my desktop and that shows me how much ram is used atm?

[13:10] <raven_> hi - EVOLUTION: what is the command i have to put into a application that does not open evolution itself but a new mail?
[13:10] <allister> Hi there, I installed ubuntu-desktop on a 8.04 and have problems adding a user which can login and carry out administrative tasks. I added a user with useradd and ALL = (ALL) ALL to myusername in the sudoers file. I cant login, a windows pops up and tells me something about the home directory
[13:11] <jenda> Hello. How do I return icons to the desktop after "pkill nautilus"?
[13:11] <MikeChelen> allister: try adding new users through the system -> admin -> users utility
[13:11] <jrib> jenda: start nautilus
[13:11] <ManDay> SpaceGhostC2C, did you manage to use the network-manager with the wifi-applet of cairo-dock?
[13:12] <scriptwarlock> hello anybdy knows why ipmasq is not in the repo for ubuntu 9.10?
[13:12] <dAlfa89_> Dr_Willis: gnome-session: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_dgettext
[13:12] <Chesnut> Anyone here has played TM Nations with Wine?
[13:12] <allister> i dont have a gui yet, i installed 8.04 server and after that added ubuntu-desktop
[13:12] <ZORG2> You Speaking A LOT
[13:12] <grawity> wookienz: Oh... another thing. Have you tried running the script manually?
[13:12] <ZORG2> !!
[13:12] <wookienz> grawity: not with the new appended log bit.
[13:12] <grawity> allister: "useradd" probably hasn't created the homedir.
[13:12] <jenda> One a related note - what's likely to be the reason for any nautilus windows to grey out to "not responding" after nearly any activity in them (e.g., I open my home folder, double click a subfolder, but when I try a third, or to delete a file)
[13:13] <MikeChelen> allister: ubuntu-desktop should install gnome
[13:13] <SpaceGhostC2C> ManDay, I don't use the wifi-applet. It's rather buggy.
[13:13] <jenda> jrib: if that's a command, then "start: unknown job: nautilus"
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> dAlfa89_:  well ya got a clue as to whats failing it seems
[13:13] <paschu> how to install conky???
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> paschu:  sudo apt-get install conky
[13:13] <ManDay> ok thanks. SpaceGhostC2C any idea how i can make the default-background-plane smaller?
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> paschu:  or use the pacakge manager guis
[13:13] <allister> thats correct. when i restart the server after that i see the login screen but cant login. Which command should i use to create a home dir then instead of only useradd
[13:13] <grawity> jenda: 'start' is a word, 'nautilus' is the command
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> !info conky
[13:14] <SpaceGhostC2C> ManDay, in reference to?
[13:14] <ManDay> huh?
[13:14] <ManDay> I want to make it smaller
[13:14] <Guest17499> Anyone know where the application installer is located and named in kubuntu netnbook remix?
[13:14] <jenda> grawity: ok, that worked :) thanks
[13:14] <ManDay> it currently is at leat 60px wide
[13:14] <paschu> Dr_Willis, yea yea, but how to install?
[13:14] <paschu> Where to download?
[13:14] <jenda> grawity: I thought it only opened my home folder that way.
[13:14] <jrib> jenda: I mean start a new "nautilus" process
[13:14] <s3r3n1t7> SpaceGhostC2C, may i ask if your prayers to Google have been answered?
[13:14] <raven_> which command opens a new-mail-window when evolution already is started?
[13:14] <SpaceGhostC2C> paschu open a terminal and do this command. sudo apt-get install conky
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> paschu:  sudo apt-get install conky   <--------------------- DOES install it.
[13:15] <SpaceGhostC2C> s3r3n1t7, alas, they have not.
[13:15] <jenda> jrib: got it thanks.
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> paschu:  you are thinking in windows 'ways' of doiing things. :)
[13:15] <khensthoth> paschu: In terminal: sudo apt-get install conky-all
[13:15] <MikeChelen> allister: try logging in to your existing user account before creating a new one
[13:15] <khensthoth> paschu: Note that conky is HIGHLY configurable, but all those configurations are text based.
[13:16] <allister> ubuntu doesnt allow to login with root and thats the only user created when installing a server... i guess
[13:16] <paschu> Dr_Willis, Done, what now?
[13:16] <MikeChelen> !root | allister
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> paschu:  go to the conky homepage and read its docs is a good idea.
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> paschu:  run it with 'conky &'
[13:16] <[fade]> hello, any solution for 9.10 freezing after 30-60 minutes?
[13:16] <ManDay> Ah! SpaceGhostC2C, I just tried to enable the "systray" applet, then it said something about stealing my systray and since then my systray is gone!
[13:17] <MikeChelen> allister: there is another user account created during install besides root, use that to login
[13:17] <aprilhare_> hello

[13:24] <VCoolio> paschu: http://conky.linux-hardcore.com/ and http://conky.sourceforge.net/docs.html should get you going
[13:24] <portn0k> KEFIR: what command are you issuing
[13:24] <MikeChelen> bhuvi: it's called "startup applications" in 9.10
[13:24] <paschu> I've read the documentation from the conky homepage but i still dont know what to do
[13:24] <KEFIR> sudo chmod 777 directory
[13:24] <MikeChelen> !ldap
[13:24] <SpaceGhostC2C> !ldap | wookienz
[13:25] <KEFIR> but not shure if I need to write directory/*
[13:25] <wookienz> cheers.
[13:25] <portn0k> perhaps it needs to be reclusive? try adding the -R flag
[13:25] <SpaceGhostC2C> paschu, you have conky installed.
[13:25] <KEFIR> thanks
[13:25] <KEFIR> a lot
[13:25] <VCoolio> paschu: for transparancy add this to your conky config: own_window_transparent yes
[13:25] <khensthoth> bhuvi: And have a look at a software called Boot Up Manager (sudo apt-get install bum)
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> paschu:  trheres no way you read the docs..  i spent weeks reading/learning all about conky and how to configure it
