[20:55] <Guest67401> every month or so transmission ignores all of my settings and redownloads things putting them on my desktop and starts over things partially downloaded and changes it to the desktop.  how do i keep it from doing that??
[20:56] <quanticle> Quick question about the CPU frequency scaling monitor.  When I make changes to my CPU throttling with it, the changes don't seem to "stick" the first time around.  I changed the throttling down to a constant 1GHz for both cores, and then, shortly after, I found that the CPU throttling had reverted to "On Demand".  What do I have to do to make these settings stick the first time around?
[20:56] <chalcedony> how can i set the time to synchronize with a time center? (ubuntu 9.04)
[20:57] <Kyran> Right, hopefully I'll brb. Thanks to the helpful if I vanish
[20:57] <NuuBuntu> How do I check what version of Ubuntu I am currently running?
[20:57] <racecar56> what'
[20:57] <racecar56> D'OH
[20:57] <msp3k> What's a good desktop wireless card to buy if I don't want to use ndiswrapper?
[20:57] <Flannel> NuuBuntu: lsb_release -a
[20:57] <racecar56> what's a way i can reliably transfer my /home partition's content onto my new 1TB drive?
[20:57] <xckpd7> duffydack: thanks dude, many many thanks, this is going to make my life a whole lot easier.... appreciate it
[20:58] <NuuBuntu> Thank you Flannel.
[20:58] <Flannel> !separatehome | racecar56
[20:58] <Flannel> racecar56: (even if youre just mving from one separate partition to another, that guide will work with minimal changes, etc)
[20:58] <armornick> msp3k: anything intel
[20:59] <racecar56> Flannel: my /home is currently seperate on 1 drive BTW
[20:59] <racecar56> Flannel: my / and /home partitions are on the same drive
[20:59] <ikonia> racecar56: copy it to a new drive and change the mount point location
[20:59] <arooni__> how do i install custom fonts on ubuntu?
[20:59] <ikonia> !fonts | arooni__
[20:59] <veda> Are there a lot of recurring problems with Ubuntu and WEP/WPA Win32 hosts?
[20:59] <chalcedony> (((( Flannel )))))))
[21:00] <Flannel> racecar56: that's fine, you'll still more or less go through the same process (except instead of moving from your / partition, you'll move it from your /home partition)
[21:00] <ikonia> veda: what has win32 hosts got to do with it ?
[21:00] <quanticle> So, does anyone here know about the CPU frequency scaling applet in Gnome?
[21:00] <veda> ikonia: The host upon which the connection is served ...
[21:00] <msp3k> Sweet, tyvm armornick
[21:00] <veda> ikonia: Trick question?
[21:00] <ikonia> veda: doesn't matter
[21:00] <racecar56> Flannel: so i should make a new partition on my new 1TB drive and copy with cp all the /home stuff to my partitioned 1TB drive?
[21:00] <duffydack> xckpd7, no prob
[21:00] <dragon> If I have a choice, is there any reason to pick i386 instead of amd64?
[21:01] <ikonia> veda: the host is not important as long as the keyus are compatible
[21:01] <b1ackcr0w> help!!!
[21:01] <veda> ikonia: I'm pretty sure that different platforms conform to the RFC in different ways ...
[21:01] <Flannel> racecar56: Pretty much.  But I strongly suggest you use the cpio/find/etc mumbo jumbo from that page to do the copying
[21:01] <b1ackcr0w> stuck in fedora hell
[21:01] <veda> ikonia: 40 bit.
[21:01] <dragon> !ask > b1ackcr0w
[21:01] <NeoNexus> b1ackcr0w: have you a fire?
[21:01] <ikonia> dragon: some applications are 32bit only - some machines will run better with 32/64bit
[21:01] <NuuBuntu> When I run lsb_release -a it says I have 8.04 Hardy, but I've been checking update manager every week and it hasn't offered the opportunity to update to the newest distro. How do I update automatically?
[21:01] <ikonia> veda: as long as the client is compatible with the encyription level it shouldn't be a problem
[21:02] <b1ackcr0w> is there any way I can install karmic and force it to install the generic kernel not the pae??
[21:02] <ikonia> NuuBuntu: it won't offer you non-lts releases from 8.04
[21:02] <racecar56> Flannel: ok.
[21:02] <Flannel> NuuBuntu: 8.04 is LTS, so it won't offer you an upgrade until another LTS (10.04) by default, if you upgrade, you'll have to upgrade to 8.10 (and then 9.04, then 9.10 to get to a current version)
[21:02] <ikonia> b1ackcr0w: the pae kernel is the server kernel
[21:02] <veda> ikonia: Great, but I've encountered some issues connecting to a Win32 host from Ubuntu 9.10.
[21:02] <duffydack> ok, so, now when I run something that needs auth the box that pops up, stays there and I dont get auth
[21:02] <racecar56> Flannel: do it from a live cd, right??
[21:02] <NuuBuntu> Thank you both.
[21:02] <ikonia> veda: I've not seen - or had such problems
[21:02] <Flannel> racecar56: You actually don't have to, sicen you're not modifying partitions, but it certainly can't hurt.
[21:03] <dragon> ikonia: it's a new laptop, dual core, for general use.
[21:03] <b1ackcr0w> ikonia that's weird - because karmic and mint 8 try to install pae on my desktop
[21:03] <racecar56> Flannel: i'll stay on my HDD install, it'll be faster that way.
[21:03] <veda> ikonia: Good for you then :)
[21:03] <ikonia> b1ackcr0w: how do you know (I'm not interested in mint)
[21:03] <ikonia> veda: then don't ask if people are having problems if you don't want the answer
[21:03] <racecar56> Flannel: i'll partition my new 1TB disk now.
[21:03] <veda> ikonia: Your hostility amuses.
[21:04] <ubuntu_> привет придурки
[21:04] <ikonia> veda: I'm not being hostile, you asked if people where having problems - I'm telling you I'm not
[21:04] <b1ackcr0w> because when i boot, and get the kernel panic, the error tells me that's the problem

[21:04] <ikonia> b1ackcr0w: ahh ok - so Flannel has just informed me there is now a pae kernel seperate, so install the generic
[21:04] <ubuntu_> сразу нашего нашёл
[21:04] <ikonia> veda: then why are you asking if you don't want people to respond
[21:04] <^workman^> veda: what was your question?
[21:05] <b1ackcr0w> yeah, how do i do that, how do i force the generic?
[21:05] <Flannel> b1ackcr0w: Which CD are you using to install?
[21:05] <veda> ikonia: I think your "bad day" shouldn't rub off on IRC.
[21:05] <ikonia> b1ackcr0w: this isn't a vm by any chance is it ?
[21:05] <b1ackcr0w> karmic desktop i386 32 bit
[21:05] <ikonia> veda: I'm not having a bad day, I've just answered your question, it's working fine, I'm not aware of any problems
[21:05] <msp3k> armornick, when you say any intel wireless, do you mean brand or chipset?
[21:05] <LordQuackstar> Quick Question: How can i disable (not unistall) the nvidia drivers temporarily? I thought deleting the xorg.conf file will fix it, but it didn't.]
[21:05] <quanticle> So, does anyone know what other services can alter the CPU frequency besides the CPU Frequency Scaling applet in Gnome?
[21:05] <veda> It connects from my Nokia N82 which is 802.1q/b/g compat, hmm.
[21:06] <veda> Ubuntu fails to, however; perhaps I have a driver or two missing/incompat.
[21:06] <ikonia> LordQuackstar: you can force a change of driver from the xorg.conf or blacklist the nvidia modules
[21:06] <^workman^> LordQuackstar: you can try system->administration-.hardware drivers
[21:06] <h4f1> quanticle:  cpulimit can alter in % cpu usage by any processes
[21:06] <armornick> msp3k: brand, I guess, but most wireless chips are compatible with linux nowadays
[21:07] <LordQuackstar> ikonia: should i modify the failsafe xorg.conf?
[21:07] <armornick> msp3k: I don't know which others, but I recommend you at least stay away from broadcom wireless
[21:07] <quanticle> h4f1: That's not what I mean.  I mean to say, what else interacts with the power management hardware to alter the clock speed of my CPU.
[21:07] <ikonia> LordQuackstar:
[21:07] <msp3k> armornick, I hear a lot about having to use ndiswrapper, and would like to stick with FLOSS drivers if possible
[21:07] <ikonia> LordQuackstar: no - that's for fall back only, you need to change /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:07] <b1ackcr0w> ikonia: no it's single boot to my dektop HD
[21:08] <mneptok> msp3k: what form factor card? or are you buying something integrated?
[21:08] <armornick> msp3k: I'm using broadcom wireless and while it has native linux drivers, there's an annoying regression
[21:08] <msp3k> armornick, thanks, that's good to know.  I'll avoid broadcom.
[21:08] <LordQuackstar> ikonia: i deleted it
[21:09] <ikonia> LordQuackstar: re-create it
[21:09] <Flannel> b1ackcr0w: That shouldn'tbe installing the PAE kernel (as it's not on the CD)
[21:09] <armornick> quanticle: check the archwiki, there's a whole article about power management; the dirty details, I mean
[21:09] <LordQuackstar> ikonia: from failsafe?
[21:09] <veda> Maybe its network-manager.
[21:09] <ikonia> LordQuackstar: that's an ok templated
[21:09] <ikonia> template
[21:09] <quanticle> armornick: Thanks.
[21:09] <h4f1> quanticle: if you look at task manager there are may processes can be related with cpu. hald-addon-cpufreq etc
[21:09] <msp3k> mneptok, probably pci-based -- I'm still in the planning phases, looking to build the wife a new computer.  Any recommendations welcome
[21:09] <b1ackcr0w> flannel ok - i'll get the iso again just to check
[21:09] <quanticle> h4f1: Okay, I'll check that as well.
[21:09] <Flannel> b1ackcr0w: Do you get a liveCD that you install from?
[21:10] <duffydack> Discovered a new bug in jaunty.. dont know when it happend, I havent used this feature for months..  Trying to mount a windows drive brings up system policy auth, and its same with anything that uses it.. I put in my name/pass and click Authenticate and it just stays like that, nothing happens.. ?
[21:10] <b1ackcr0w> flannel yes
[21:10] <Nixot> I need help... ever since I upgraded to intrepid my sound has been out of sync in SDL games... I've looked everywhere on the internet for a solution and found nothing but one answered forum topic
[21:10] <Nixot> what's going on?
[21:11] <Flannel> b1ackcr0w: Yeah, that's the desktop CD.  I don't think it'll ever install the pae kernel
[21:11] <Nixot> in hardy the sound was crackly and now it's out of sync....

[21:13] <artyhedgehog> Hello everyone!
[21:13] <lyrae> quick help with grep. How do i search all .py files in my computer for the word 'MenuProvider' ?
[21:13] <syrius> would ubuntu put comprising software in the repo?
[21:13] <Flannel> racecar56: er, you're safe with whatever the default is
[21:13] <ikonia> grep MenuProvider *.py
[21:13] <jrib> lyrae: that sounds like a bad idea...
[21:14] <lyrae> jrib, why?
[21:14] <artyhedgehog> Does anyone believe in magic? =)

[21:14] <jrib> lyrae: because it will take a long time.  You can use find and -exec grep if you really want to though.  More likely, you can narrow down the search
[21:14] <b1ackcr0w> i've posted a bug on launchpad
[21:14] <lyrae> jrib, id narrow it if i could

[21:17] <artyhedgehog> My appologise! Just a strange thing: I add some PPA to my repositories, and packages from it is in the list. But when I type in synaptic search field the names of the packages, all I can see is a void list. How could that be?
[21:17] <Nixot> anyone?
[21:18] <guntbert> !please | Nixot
[21:18] <b1ackcr0w> that was another error i got while hacking about
[21:18] <Flannel> ikonia: no, 289 not 288
[21:18] <ikonia> b1ackcr0w: ahh that's why I can't see any refernce
[21:18] <Dr_Willis> artyhedgehog:  be sure you 'update' the listing in synaptic. and synaptic can show all packages from a given repository
[21:18] <b1ackcr0w> at that point i'd done a lot of hacking about
[21:19] <ikonia> b1ackcr0w: you're %101 your not using a server install ?
[21:19] <dragon> artyhedgehog: what's the package name? and which PPA?
[21:19] <Flannel> ikonia: server install would install -server
[21:19] <b1ackcr0w> ikonia: fair point, I'm getting the desktop image again just in case
[21:19] <ikonia> Flannel: it's on the CD though

[21:21] <bups> hi all
[21:21] <guntbert> !hi | bups
[21:21] <Flannel> b1ackcr0w: Well, one (rather hackish) way to get around this, would be (I assume) to jump down to 2GB, install, then throw the rest in there.  Also, please file a bug about this, since it's peculiar indeed.
[21:21] <b1ackcr0w> i tried updating the bios last night, but for som infuriating reason, my mobo would update
[21:21] <bups> anyone can help me with internet connection problem?
[21:21] <ikonia> Flannel: I can't see how it could install it if it's not in the core cd image ?
[21:21] <b1ackcr0w> but then again, there's no real reson to believe the bios is wonky
[21:21] <guntbert> !details | bups
[21:21] <bups> i installed 9.10, can access with empathy, firefox(disabiling ipv6) but not synaptic
[21:22] <Flannel> ikonia: Only way to do it would be to download it during install.
[21:22] <ikonia> Flannel: I didn't think it could do that
[21:22] <Flannel> Oh, that's true, b1ackcr0w, try removing internet while installing
[21:22] <^workman^> ikonia: don't the apt repos get invoked during install?
[21:22] <ikonia> ^workman^: they never used to and I'm not aware of them getting done now
[21:22] <scuffed> my apache is giving me the 403 error now, when it used to work.
[21:22] <Flannel> ikonia: Well, the alternate CD does it.  They might've added it for this purpose to the desktop CD (although I have no information suggesting this)
[21:23] <^workman^> ikonia: 9.10 server does.... and will ask for a proxy to the internet if you need one.
[21:23] <b1ackcr0w> i'd be quite happy to accept the 3.3gb adressable space (or whatever the figure it is) that generic 32 bit gives
[21:23] <ikonia> Flannel: possible, but I didn't think it was possible as it was image based
[21:23] <ikonia> b1ackcr0w: try Flannel's suggestion of unplugging the network
[21:23] <Flannel> ikonia: It would have to [install image] then extract the deb
[21:23] <b1ackcr0w> okie dokie
[21:23] <Guest1085> k
[21:23] <^workman^> ikonia: Flannel: could it possibly be related to this - http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/11653/
[21:24] <guntbert> scuffed: it seems your problem is more apache related than ubuntu related - so #httpd could be better suited
[21:24] <Flannel> ikonia: again, a bit contrived, but stranger things *have* happened
[21:24] <ikonia> ^workman^: looking

[21:25] <b1ackcr0w> ok - so when i get the image and burn it, I'm do a bog standard install with the ethernet unplugged?
[21:26] <Nixot> I need help... ever since I upgraded to intrepid my sound has been out of sync in SDL games... I've looked everywhere on the internet for a solution and found nothing but one answered forum topic
[21:26] <Flannel> b1ackcr0w: Yes
[21:26] <b1ackcr0w> after install, will i be using synaptic to lock the kernel version?
[21:26] <Flannel> ikonia, ^workman^: the existance of -generic-pae *is* the implementation of that (whether they knew it or not)
[21:26] <Flannel> b1ackcr0w: Nah, it won't install -pae without your intervention
[21:27] <Flannel> b1ackcr0w: We're thinking the installer might be too smart for its own good in this case, without telling you
[21:27] <b1ackcr0w> flannel that sounds possible/likely

[21:29] <gabbah> gunbert: M2 is not in the repos is it? i only see 3.5
[21:29] <b1ackcr0w> oh BTW i forgot to mention - the other reason I know the PAE kernel is the problem. I followed the karmic alpha, beta and RCs - and they worked fine
[21:29] <Flannel> ikonia, b1ackcr0w: I've just been informed that that is indeed the case.  ubiquity is downloading/installing.  I'm currently seeing if there's ny way to get it to not do it

[21:32] <simba_> thanx
[21:32]  * b1ackcr0w passes flannel and ikonia a karma beer for the help
[21:32] <b1ackcr0w> thx guys
[21:32] <dany> hi all
[21:32] <h4f> simba_  iftop looks cool
[21:32] <Flannel> b1ackcr0w: Please file a bug about it (and hte -pae kernel panic) once you get a system installed.   The protection is now partially emulated on 32-bit kernels without PAE starting in Ubuntu 9.10.
[21:34] <b1ackcr0w> i take it you reccoment a whole new bug for the pae panic, the existing one won't do?
[21:34] <opticon> is it possible to run apps for mac on ubuntu?
[21:34] <^workman^> Flannel: emulated? why bother
[21:35] <Flannel> b1ackcr0w: Oh, if there's already a bug on it, that's fine, unless yours is significantly different.
[21:35] <b1ackcr0w> it seems o be on the backest of all the backburners!
[21:36] <b1ackcr0w> i might not have written the bug very well, so I might need to do a re-write
[21:36] <Nixot> I need help... ever since I upgraded to intrepid my sound has been out of sync in SDL games... I've looked everywhere on the internet for a solution and found nothing but one answered forum topic
[21:37] <Guest1085> Nixot, I was told not to upgrade
[21:37] <Flannel> b1ackcr0w: If you give me bug report numbers, I'll make sure they're passed to the right people
[21:37] <Guest1085> so i always fresh install
[21:38] <b1ackcr0w> 477050 for the pae panic
[21:38] <simba_> i have port 58080 open and i dont know why....it is just listed as python
[21:38] <b1ackcr0w> trust me to get the bug that shows up on fresh install :)
[21:39] <Guest1085> lol
[21:39] <guntbert> !lol | Guest1085
[21:40] <h4f> simba_: but is connected to localhost ?
[21:40] <richierich> hello
[21:40] <Paralutirapota> yo I cant boot my computer... the screen stays black, the fans turn quickly and i can't turn off my computer by pressing the power button on the front... what is the most likely problem???
[21:40] <Guest1085> ah sooo sorry
[21:40] <richierich> hey guys is there a way to stop samba and NTP from printing in tty1 login on my ubuntu server?
[21:41] <guntbert> richierich: you know, there is a channel #ubuntu-server ?
[21:41] <richierich> guntbert, thanks
[21:44] <simba_> h4f, it showed up in nmap, wich is why i found it....netstat say: tcp        0      0 localhost:58080  *:* LISTEN 7066/beam.smp tcp        1      0 localhost:52817         localhost:58080         CLOSE_WAIT  6943/python
[21:44] <ZummiG777> Question: Is there a 'clean' way to upgrade your kernel in Ubuntu when one isn't presented in the update options?  I'm currently running 9.04 with kernel 2.6.28-16-generic.  However, I've read that kernel 2.6.29-5 will solve a hang-issue with my dell system.  Ideas?

[21:45] <h4f> simba_: so you have pid =7066 beam.smp and pid=6943 python . look for what they are
[21:45] <h4f> simba_ most probably its something like network applet or any of this
[21:46] <^workman^> ZummiG777: do you see the kernel you need running: sudo apt-cache search linux-image
[21:47] <ZummiG777> ^workman^ Nope.
[21:47] <simba_> h4f, if i connect with web browser on that port i get htaccess but none of the users and passes i can think of work'
[21:49] <^workman^> ZummiG777: welp, unless there is some cool hidden way that I don't know about in ubuntu you can build your own custom kernel, or upgrade to 9.10
[21:49] <ZummiG777> ^workman^ OK.  That was what I thought was going to be the ultimate answer.
[21:49] <h4f> simba_: when I am connecting to beam.smp it asks me for a pass
[21:50] <simba_> h4f, simba     7075  0.0  0.0   1528   376 ?        Ss   07:49   0:00 heart -pid 7066 -ht 11; and ubuntu one on 6943
[21:50] <^workman^> ZummiG777: not sure if you can add in a new apt source url for a kernel upgrade or not. the folks in offtopic might know
[21:50] <h4f> any one know what's beam.smp process for ?
[21:51] <ZummiG777> ^workman^: It would be just as easy to take the plunge into 9.10 then hope all my kernel dependent stuff would just magically work.
[21:51] <ZummiG777> Thanks a bunch!
[21:51] <sf_> walcom to
[21:52] <^workman^> ZummiG777: anytime man... good luck
[21:52] <x3> hi all)
[21:53] <simba_> h4f, i guess if you have it to, it's no need for to much paranoya :P
[21:53] <rohan> on my dell vostro 1510 laptop, there is a single switch for both wifi and bluetooth. hence i have switched off bluetooth in bios. however, sometimes when i need it, is there any way to enable it except from rebooting and enabling it in bios?
[21:54] <h4f> simba_ beam.smp is for couchdb which is some how relates to apache
[21:54] <simba_> h4f, ahh...thats all ubuntu1
[21:54] <h4f> simba_: the problem now is that when connecting on that ports is asking me for a pass which I have no idea of
[21:55] <aeon-ltd> rohan: this is a dirty workaround but, you could enable it in the bios then make a script to load and unload the module
[21:55] <^workman^> h4f: simba_: check this out - http://till.klampaeckel.de/blog/archives/16-Measuring-CouchDB-performance.html
[21:55] <tmartins> Is anyone having trouble with kdm and the latest xorg update?
[21:55] <rohan> aeon-ltd: that would still consume power right? and which module is the one used for bt?
[21:56] <aeon-ltd> rohan: sorry i don't know the module (googles your friend), never had bluetooth
[21:56] <simba_> h4f, ^workman^, thanx
[21:56] <rohan> aeon-ltd: thanks
[21:57] <aeon-ltd> rohan: yes it would still consume power, but like <1W idle
[21:57] <Younder> I am trying to setup ubuntu to start in text mode but cant find where gpd get's started in /etc. Where is it?
[21:57] <h4f> ^workman^: why is that think installed by default. and what's pass for it ?
[21:57] <aeon-ltd> Younder: text mode?
[21:57] <aeon-ltd> Younder: you mean PS1? command line?
[21:57] <Younder> aeon-ltd, yes, as in not starting the x server
[21:57] <dutchie> rockbox-ified ipod nano 2g not mounting: dmesg http://pastebin.com/m10964b4, don't see a /dev entry or a listing in lsusb
[21:58] <aeon-ltd> Younder: just ditch gdm or disable it at boot up then it should parse xinit without your control
[21:58] <zoggnoff> okay - no wireless connection - please help
[21:58] <harushimo> i have a question about upgrading my current version of Ubuntu
[21:58] <harushimo> is the upgrade process pretty good?
[21:58] <Younder> aeon-ltd, how?
[21:59] <tmartins> My kdm is crashing after the last xorg update, It won' t start even on recovery mode
[21:59] <harushimo> last time, I lost functionality of my cd/dvd rom drive
[21:59] <harushimo> I'm curious if people had ran into problem
[22:00] <thiebaude> harushimo, i did a fresh install and everthing was ok
[22:00] <harushimo> I usually don't have problems with fresh installs
[22:00] <harushimo> I'm talking about upgrading through synaptic
[22:01] <aeon-ltd> Younder: its in ubuntu start up items i think, if not look in ubuntu services
[22:02] <zoggnoff> i smell cat crap
[22:02] <zoggnoff> not actively of course
[22:02] <mneptok> zoggnoff: please stop
[22:03] <zoggnoff> please help
[22:03] <BlueSherpa> is there a way to find out what install provided a specific config file?
[22:03] <aeon-ltd> zoggnoff: stop being a troll and we'll help
[22:03] <zoggnoff> i have no wireless
[22:03] <BlueSherpa> or better - any idea of what I need to reinstall to get /etc/apache2/apache2.conf back?
[22:03] <mneptok> zoggnoff: you'll be banned before you are helped if that behavior continues.
[22:03] <aeon-ltd> zoggnoff: is the module load through ndiswrapper?
[22:03] <zoggnoff> alright DOOD,,, look i need help
[22:04] <duffydack> BlueSherpa, did you purge it
[22:04] <wasutton31> is there a way to set the global inode size for ext3 partitions?
[22:04] <zoggnoff> i asked no one answered,,, and i was being serious
[22:04] <mneptok> !patience | zoggnoff
[22:04] <BlueSherpa> duffydack: do you mean, accidentally delete it, then yes
[22:04] <duffydack> BlueSherpa, apt-get purge apache2
[22:04] <zoggnoff> its raining here and there are a lot of cats in the neighborhood
[22:04] <aeon-ltd> zoggnoff: i just asked you a question
[22:04] <BlueSherpa> duffydack: ahh ok, thx
[22:04] <damaltor> hello, anyone here using grub2? i am missing a script file (os-prober) and am searching for someone to send it to me

[22:05] <aeon-ltd> zoggnoff: is the module load through ndiswrapper?
[22:05] <zoggnoff> i don't know what module load through ndiswrapper is
[22:05] <zoggnoff> im on a fresh install of 9.10 server edition for ps3
[22:05] <aeon-ltd> zoggnoff: read the ubuntu wiki for ps3 installs then
[22:05] <zoggnoff> im installed
[22:06] <Pholious> is linux vulnerable to trojan horses ?
[22:06] <zoggnoff> sitting at the prompt looking at wlan0
[22:06] <thiebaude> Pholious, no
[22:06] <zoggnoff> and no connection
[22:06] <Pholious> ok :)
[22:06] <zoggnoff> tried all the sudo iwconfig and ifconfigs
[22:06] <zoggnoff> iwlist only shows networks with sudo
[22:07] <zoggnoff> i thought it was supposed to be ported out the box
[22:07] <Pholious> thiebaude, as well installing exe's through wine won't hurt? with trojans
[22:07] <aeon-ltd> Pholious: none are known however there are phishing attacks throught app vulneravilities

[22:12] <Dr_Willis> !ps3
[22:12] <Dr_Willis> damaltor:  most people who did clean installs of 9.10 are using grub2
[22:12] <Dr_Willis> damaltor:  what file are you looking for?
[22:13] <damaltor> Dr_Willis: so, are you? :) i have an oler ubuntu version, but want to use grub2. but, i am missing the os-prober script file.
[22:13] <vinpan> i just installed 9.10 today i love the look wowo

[22:13] <meekatron> hello i got ubuntu server installed and running quite well but i set up lanscape monitor and dont want to use it now. how can i uninstall it
[22:13] <guntbert> !hi | vincs
[22:13] <damaltor> Dr_Willis: great thanks.
[22:13] <Bookman_> Is it just me or is Evolution the buggiest email program ever.  It just greys out all the time for me.
[22:13] <textex> Can it be my install cd being corrupted you think?
[22:13] <Dr_Willis> !find 30_os-prober
[22:14] <vinpan> i just installed apache wowo
[22:14] <Dr_Willis> damaltor:  that file should be in the grub-common package according to the bot.
[22:14] <guntbert> !ot | vinpan
[22:14] <Dr_Willis> Bookman_:  turn off compiz and it wont 'grey' it will just hang. :)
[22:14] <Bookman_> Dr_Willis, Excellent, mask the problem! :)
[22:15] <nperry> Bookman you could help make ubuntu better and file a bug on launchpad or check if its been reported already and confirm it
[22:15] <damaltor> Dr_Willis: yes, it should... but i didnt get it somehow. lets have a try with that though.
[22:15] <valters> hello, i have problem with ubuntu one, i cant connected to server, when i connected they disconnected me, and in one.ubuntu.com i have that:
[22:15] <Dr_Willis> Bookman_:  ive seen people in here asking how to turn off the 'greying feature' :P
[22:15] <LogicalDash> I'm on Ubuntu Netbook Remix and trying to run CGoban. It seems to start up OK, but when I get into a game and the window goes maximized (as windows tend to do automatically in Netbook Remix), it crashes. Perhaps I can change some setting so that the windows for this particular program don't maximize automatically?
[22:15] <motorv> eth2 is not being configured automaticlly. The NIC goes "up" but without the IP addres configured. Why can be that ? Paradoxically , ifup eth2 restarts the LPRng server.....
[22:15] <valters> You haven't added any computers or devices to your Ubuntu One account. To get started please visit the installation details.
[22:15] <textex> Anyone wanna give me a lil hand here?
[22:15] <valters> how can i add computer?
[22:15] <Dr_Willis> valters:  when you go to the site and sign it asks.
[22:16] <Bookman_> Dr_Willis, yeah, not a very production worthy program in my experience.
[22:16] <scott_ino2> textex, just ask your question
[22:16] <textex> im getting "failed to restore crtc configuration" when trying to install ubuntu. The screen keeps flashing. Anyone know what it fcan be?
[22:16] <guntbert> valters: please ask in #ubuntuone
[22:16] <Dr_Willis> screen flashing when/where textex ? befor grub? after? during? during install?
[22:16] <Shockrates> hi
[22:17] <Shockrates> how can i define a hotkey to minimize all windows in the current workspace? like superL+D in windows
[22:17] <valters> Dr_Willis: they not asks me
[22:17] <Dr_Willis> valters:  did you sign in to your account?
[22:17] <Shockrates> τι λεει μαγκες?
[22:17] <rapha> Shockrates: it is Ctrl+Alt+D
[22:17] <Shockrates> rapha: doesnt work for me
[22:17] <valters> Dr_Willis: yes i sign in my account
[22:17] <Bookman_> Dr_Willis, is there a more reliable program out there for email?
[22:17] <Dr_Willis> rapha:  thats handy... :)
[22:17] <LogicalDash> How do I set Ubuntu Netbook Remix to not automatically maximize the windows for a particular program?
[22:18] <Dr_Willis> valters:  could be it allready added that computer
[22:18] <rapha> Shockrates: sry no idea then :( - always works for me out-of-the-box
[22:18] <Shockrates> rapha: where can i configure this from?
[22:18] <textex> Dr_Willis Ill try to explain the best i can. I start the install, and see the ubuntu logo for a while. Then it goes further to a black screen with alot of text. Then it suddenly comes "failed to restore crtc configuration" a few 100 times after eachother with the screen flashing all the time
[22:18] <rapha> Shockrates: System > Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts or somesuch
[22:18] <Evdokimos> Shockrates: we know some greek!
[22:18] <Dr_Willis> LogicalDash:  ive seen some ubuntu tutorial sites mention that. and  how to tweak/disable the 'maximus' program thats doing the fullscreening. But ive never  messed with it.
[22:18] <scott_ino2> Shockrates, have you checked it under keyboard shortcuts to make sure it's enabled
[22:19] <valters> try reboot computer and then see what happens
[22:19] <Dr_Willis> textex:  has any linux worked on that pc befor?
[22:19] <Bookman_> Ok, I've Force Quit Evolution for the last time.  What is the best alternative?  One that can handle a high volume of email?
[22:19] <textex> Well, i just tried it once with vmware, and then it worked
[22:20] <Dr_Willis> textex:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/404421
[22:21] <b1ackcr0w> hi chaps - me again - image burned and now booting to live - ethernet unplugged
[22:21] <mrqismrx> how to open a program from terminal while still be able to using the terminal if I for instance type "gmplayer" in terminal, the application starts but "takes control over the terminal.." is there like "gmplayer -something" I can write?
[22:21] <Dr_Willis> mrqismrx:  bash basics (job control)   programname &
[22:21] <rip> Hello, does the latest Ubuntu isntaller offer an "encrypt system" feature which uses block level encryption to encrypt all file systems (including swap partition)?
[22:21] <mrqismrx> Dr_Willis, what did you mean by that?
[22:21] <schristoforou> mrqismrx: put a & at the end of the command, like gmplayer&
[22:22] <Dr_Willis> mrqismrx:  you may want to spend an hr reading a few bash tutorials. :) also dont just close the termianal with the X buton, use the 'exit' command  if you really want to exit the terminal
[22:22] <mrqismrx> oh I see thanks guys
[22:22] <Dr_Willis> mrqismrx:  ie:    'mplayer &', then 'exit'
[22:22] <textex> Thand Dr_Willis, but im kind of bad on linux, so i dont really get how they want you to fix it.
[22:22] <mrqismrx> Dr_Willis, yeah I will do that. Are you recommending any particular?
[22:22] <damaltor> Dr_Willis: ok, your file seems to be working. but, now on doing grub2-update, the last line is ".: 23: Can't open /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib". still something missing. do you have an idea?
[22:22] <Dr_Willis> textex:  at the grub menu hit 'e' to edit the boot line, append the option they suggest to the end
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> textex:  see coment #17
[22:23] <guntbert> !terminal | mrqismrx
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> textex:  but you are editing the cd boot options.. :) grub (hit e) -> make changes.. enter to boot.
[22:23] <guntbert> !tldp | mrqismrx ,and
[22:23] <vincs> I am writting a audio player (using ruby/gtk and ruby/gst). I have just change the status from alpha to beta. If you want to test it take a look at the ubuntu forum thread : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1342167
[22:24] <Bookman_> Ok, is there any program out there capable of handling high volumes of email?  Without stalling?
[22:24] <leachim6> hey...so I updated to karmic...and now the sound applet won't change my sound...but alsamixer works...
[22:24] <leachim6> what's the deal?
[22:24] <guntbert> vincs: no announcements here please
[22:24] <mrqismrx> thanks guys!
[22:24] <BraveSaintStuart> so i'm trying to install an .sh file, and I'm kind of a nub at the whole Ubuntu process... can someone walk me through it?
[22:25] <textex> Dr_Willis, so should i just add ""splash quiet" there?
[22:25] <Dr_Willis> BraveSaintStuart:  firsst WHAT are you trying to instsall exactly?
[22:25] <vincs> Sorry I did not know. I will not do it again.
[22:25] <leachim6> vincs: it looks cool though
[22:25] <valters> Dr_Willis: nothing happens, when I sign in  ubuntu one they dont asks me about computer adding
[22:25] <BraveSaintStuart> it's a CrossOver.sh
[22:25] <Dr_Willis> textex:  No.. those 2 options are allready there... add the  i915.modeset=0     befor those. like the examples say
[22:26] <Dr_Willis> BraveSaintStuart:  then you do 'sh ./CrossOver.sh' or perhaps 'sudo sh ./CrossOver.sh' if you are in the same current directory as the file
[22:26] <damaltor> Dr_Willis: ok, your file seems to be working. but, now on doing grub2-update, the last line is ".: 23: Can't open /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib". still something missing. do you have an idea?
[22:26] <Bookman_> Ok, I will try Outlook again.  I don't remember any pauses with it.  Maybe it is the database that evolution uses?
[22:26] <vincs> Thanks leachim6
[22:27] <Dr_Willis> damaltor:  not really.   sounds like you are missing a few grub packages perhaps.
[22:27] <arcnewuss> i have sound when i login but no sound when i start X
[22:27] <Dr_Willis> !find grub-mkconfig_lib
[22:27] <damaltor> Dr_Willis: shit. but ok, thank you vey much
[22:27] <Dr_Willis> damaltor:  perhaps reinstall grub-common
[22:27] <stonefisk> virgin install of 9.10 is fine but after packages update a reboot fails and ends up at a grub prompt. There is a bug raised here with #477169. Can someone help me by clarifying that the bug will not occur if its a non wubi install/winxp dual boot (i.e if I gave ubuntu its own drive it will be okay). Also I am not yet confident to try the suggested convoluted fix to rescue the system, is it best to sit tight and wait
[22:27] <damaltor> Dr_Willis: will try
[22:27] <stonefisk> for a fix roll out and not allow updates?
[22:27] <arcnewuss> once i start X i get alsamixer: snd_ctl_open failed

[22:28] <Ripp_> hello

[22:29] <Ripp_> Gnome desktop
[22:29] <leachim6> yeah
[22:30] <leachim6> press alt+f2 and type the word "xkill"
[22:30] <leachim6> then click on the frozen program
[22:30] <schristoforou> Ripp_, run xkill and click on the window
[22:30] <Ripp_> thanks guys
[22:30] <BraveSaintStuart> Dr_Willis:  I have the file saved onto my desktop... "file:///home/stuart/Desktop/Crossover-Pro-7.0.2.sh", so when I try to insert after "sh ./" or "sudo sh ./", it says "can't open"
[22:30] <Ripp_> Sweet
[22:30] <Ripp_> xkill owns.
[22:31] <schristoforou> BraveSaintStuart, do you have a terminal open?
[22:31] <damaltor> BraveSaintStuart: Dr_Willis is gone. but, to help you, remove the letters "file://" before the name: type "sh /home/stuart/Desktop/..."
[22:31] <schristoforou> BraveSaintStuart: If so, type the following: cd ~/Desktop
[22:32] <Ripp_> thhaha, this chrome instance refuses to die..guess i'll terminal it
[22:32] <schristoforou> BraveSaintStuart: press enter, and you will enter that directory (your Desktop directory)

[22:32] <schristoforou> BraveSaintStuart: Afterwards, type "chmod +x ./Crossover-Pro-7.0.2.sh" without the quotes and press enter
[22:33] <schristoforou> BraveSaintStuart: This will make the file executable
[22:33] <schristoforou> BraveSaintStuart: Then type "sudo ./Crossover-Pro-7.0.2.sh", enter your password and it will install CrossOver Linux
[22:34] <ZykoticK9> squircle, also check /etc/hosts and check the name beside <IP_ADDRESS> - "might" help
[22:34] <rapha> i just installed ubuntu on /dev/sda5 of a laptop that has windowx xp on /dev/sda2 and windows vista on /dev/sda3 but grub only has a grub entry named "windows vista" which actually boots windows xp on /dev/sda2 - how do i get the proper entries in there?
[22:34] <schristoforou> BraveSaintStuart: again, the last command is without the quotes
[22:34] <squircle> ZykoticK9: it reads <IP_ADDRESS> localhost summit summit.tpp.org, should I put localhost last?
[22:35] <pw-toxic> someone got a quick link where i can see whats new in 9.10?
[22:35] <Bookman_> Nobody else has evolution just greying out (freezing) on them all the time?
[22:35] <ZykoticK9> squircle, not sure the order is important - is summit the hostname you want to change it to?
[22:35] <BraveSaintStuart> schristoforou:  after it attempts to uncompress the file it says: "'/home/stuart' must exist and belong to you in order for the installation to proceed."
[22:35] <BlueSherpa> I used "aptitude purge" on an application, but "aptitude search" shows that the application's configuration files (c) are still there - any way to purge them completely?  I'm trying to do a completely fresh installation of the app
[22:35] <birdiee_> I just downloaded mplayer but my xvid doesn't work I was told it had built in support for that, the audio works tho. why is this you think?
[22:35] <squircle> ZykoticK9: yeah, and when I hostname -F /etc/hostname, it stays as summit until a reboot. i'll try changing the order and rebooting
[22:36] <schristoforou> BraveSaintStuart: isn't /home/stuart your home directory?
[22:37] <BraveSaintStuart> schristoforou: It then says, "If instaling as root, you may need to log in as root, use 'su -' or 'sudo -H'.
[22:37] <BraveSaintStuart> schristoforou: as far as I know... I wouldn't know why it would be anything different
[22:37] <Bookman_> Ok, thanks.
[22:37] <schristoforou> BraveSaintStuart: ah, ok, it needs the actual root to install it
[22:37] <BraveSaintStuart> schristoforou: what does that mean?
[22:38] <BlueSherpa> doesn't running "aptitude purge app" get rid of the app's configuration files?
[22:38] <schristoforou> BraveSaintStuart: Try to do "sudo -s", it will then change the terminal user to root (admin)
[22:38] <dhaivat> I have one very simple question
[22:38] <dhaivat> what's the defualt root pass?
[22:38] <guntbert> BlueSherpa: with sudo, yes
[22:38] <b1ackcr0w> IT WORKED!!!
[22:38] <guntbert> !root | dhaivat
[22:38] <squircle> dhaivat: the root account, by default, is disabled
[22:38] <schristoforou> BraveSaintStuart: Then run "sh ./Crossover-Pro-7.0.2.sh"
[22:38] <BraveSaintStuart> schristoforou: And after I change it to the root?
[22:39] <BlueSherpa> guntbert: why would "aptitude search app" still show the configuration files as installed if I ran the command as root?
[22:39] <BraveSaintStuart> gotcha
[22:39] <BlueSherpa> guntbert: it lists the app with a c in the first column
[22:39] <schristoforou> BraveSaintStuart: Ie the same as before, without the sudo command
[22:39] <pw-toxic> i have just updated from 9.04 to 9.10 but my compiz effects disappared.. how can i reactivate them?
[22:39] <hetheeh> hello i am using karmic and ubuntu keeps freezing everything except the moise pointer, is anyone else getting this problem or have any suggestions?
[22:39] <squircle> ZykoticK9: I just changed the order of the entries; hostname returns summit, and hostname -f returns summit.tpp.org. cheers!
[22:39] <guntbert> BlueSherpa: that I don't know - but look if the fiels are *really* there
[22:39] <BraveSaintStuart> schristoforou: Same message came up
[22:39] <guntbert> *files
[22:40] <BlueSherpa> dhaivat: the default root pass is whatever you specify for it when you install the OS
[22:40] <soreau> pw-toxic: Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects <-- set to anything other than None means compiz is running (and default WM)
[22:40] <guntbert> BlueSherpa: that is NOT true
[22:40] <BlueSherpa> guntbert: I tried manually removing the files, but aptitude search continues to report them as being present
[22:41] <guntbert> BlueSherpa: are they still there (in reality)?
[22:41] <pw-toxic> soreau, tried it.. it says, that they cant be activated.. i have used compiz for over a year now.. any idea why it doesnt work anymore?
[22:42] <schristoforou> BraveSaintStuart: Just to verify, does your terminal line show 'stuart@hostname:~$" or does it show "root@hostname:~$" ?
[22:42] <BlueSherpa> guntbert: any ideas?
[22:42] <soreau> pw-toxic: Come to #compiz and show us a pastebin link to the output of 'compiz &' from your terminal
[22:42] <b1ackcr0w> ikonia - it worked!
[22:42] <guntbert> BlueSherpa: yes: check if they are still there :-)
[22:42] <pw-toxic> soreau, thanks
[22:43] <[Ryto]> Hi All, question: Who every configured a FTP on Ubuntu?
[22:43] <guntbert> BlueSherpa: use ls
[22:43] <h4f> couldn't find any overclocking utility for Ubuntu.  (except for graphic card ) any one know of such ?
[22:43] <[Ryto]> ehh.. thats bad english..
[22:43] <BraveSaintStuart> schristoforou: it says "root@stuart-laptop: ~/Desktop#"
[22:43] <BlueSherpa> guntbert: they are, I then manually remove them, aptitude search continues to report the files being there after having purged the app
[22:44] <BlueSherpa> guntbert: the problem is that when I try to install the app again - it thinks the configuration files are there and doesn't install them - is there maybe a way to force the complete install?
[22:44] <b1ackcr0w> flannel: it worked
[22:44] <schristoforou> BraveSaintStuart: Try to run "./Crossover-Pro-7.0.2.sh" , without the sh in front of it
[22:44] <[Ryto]> Anyone got exp with FTP server on Ubuntu?
[22:44] <Flannel> b1ackcr0w: Good to hear

[22:45] <schristoforou> BraveSaintStuart: Can you PM me the full message?

[22:47] <bondiblueos9> can I install ubuntu on a ppc mac over the network?
[22:47] <nutzer> hallo
[22:47] <guntbert> BlueSherpa: sorry, I don't know of any way - you could try to use apt-get instead of aptitude though (I usually recommend it the other way round :-)
[22:47] <BlueSherpa> guntbert: k, will do, thx =)
[22:47] <reactor16> BlueSherpa wen system start
[22:48] <BlueSherpa> reactor16: check the url I sent you - it has the info
[22:48] <birdiee_> iam following a guide to install codecs for mplayer but I get this at the last step : E: Couldn't find package w32codecs. I am following a guide from this
[22:48] <reactor16> ok
[22:48] <Fizix> What's the difference between apt-get and aptitude? Is aptitude a whole different package manager entirely?
[22:48] <BraveSaintStuart> scristoforou: I totally would if I knew how the heck to do that... I really am a nub
[22:48] <schristoforou> BraveSaintStuart: In addition, if the .sh file would simply unzip the .deb files for installation, root should not be necessary...Did you try it after making it executable to run it a normal user?
[22:49] <BlueSherpa> Fizix: dunno - I thought they were interfaces to the same back end database, but I might be wrong
[22:49] <birdiee_> don't know if I am allowed to post url so I don't but iam doing the command sudo apt-get install sudo apt-get install w32codecs libdvdcss2
[22:49] <ZykoticK9> birdiee_, w32codecs is in the Medibuntu repository
[22:49] <nullr> quick question what command do I use to chmod 777 a directory
[22:49] <Bridge|> anyone know with apache2 if i put "ErrorDocument 404 /404.html" in htaccess file or in httpd.conf and i have a 404.html in the www folder why its not being displayed on a 404 error?
[22:49] <ZykoticK9> birdiee_, this might help ya https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[22:49] <ssam> bondiblueos9, https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/installation-guide/powerpc/index.html might help. but it may also be out of date
[22:49] <birdiee_> ZykoticK9, I added it, it was one thing in the guide and when I going to software sources I can see it there
[22:49] <rip> Hello, does the latest Ubuntu isntaller offer an "encrypt system" feature which uses block level encryption to encrypt all file systems (including swap partition)?
[22:50] <guntbert> Fizix: its like BlueSherpa said, but they do some things differently
[22:50] <ZykoticK9> birdiee_, have you run an update?  like "sudo apt-get update"?
[22:50] <nullr> rip use truecrypt works with everything
[22:50] <h4f> how can I setup 2 pppoe connections at the same time ? (+routing) ?
[22:50] <birdiee_> ZykoticK9, yeah but i searched for it in the synaptic now and I saw a non-free codec thingy which mentioned it so I installed it now and gonna test

[22:51] <guntbert> !register | vinpan
[22:52] <h4f> chmod -R for recursive
[22:52] <^workman^> nullr: but for security reasons that's a really bad idea
[22:52] <vinpan> thx
[22:52] <^workman^> nullr: unless the dir in question in a sub dir of your home directory
[22:53] <arghh2d2> 777 colors suck too
[22:53] <birdiee_> ZykoticK9, I don't even know if it's a codec problem in mplayer tho, keep saying error opening/initilizaing the selected video_out (-vo) device

[22:58] <damaltor_> hello, i want to install grub2 onto an usb flash drive. i definitly need grub2, but on my host grub (NOT 2) is installed. how can i install grub2 onto the flash drive w/o updating my local grub?
[22:58] <Finnish> What is a good benchmark tool to measure system power?
[22:58] <nullr> ^workman^: how do I find my "group" is there a command?
[22:58] <zaoul> Finnish: like wattage?
[22:58] <raphael_> hey !! does anyone knows some stuff about arduino? or a website about it?
[22:58] <^workman^> grep "yourusername" /etc/group
[22:58] <\bMike\b> damaltor_: When you install, you have to specify what drive to install to. Just specify the flash drive
[22:58] <vinpan> so that link will tell me how to upload pages to apache?
[22:58] <dutchie> raphael_: try the "groups" command
[22:58] <zaoul> raphael_: try google.com website?
[22:59] <nomed> ^workman^, as you seem active on this channel ... may u tell me if there is anyone having issues with wireless networks ?
[22:59] <Finnish> zaoul, CPU and chipset power?
[22:59] <raphael_> already has but nothing interesting
[22:59] <damaltor_> \bMike\b: yes. but for that, i have to install grub2 wich will automagically try to update my grub on the host computer
[22:59] <zaoul> Finnish: like wattage?
[22:59] <ZykoticK9> ^workman^, an easier way is to type "groups" in a terminal - will list all groups the user is in
[22:59] <nullr> rip: I am pretty sure you will need to format but I know truecrypt works across all systems
[22:59] <HilBilly> nomed . .. what issue are you having?
[22:59] <\bMike\b> damaltor_: oh, right :(
[22:59]  * \bMike\b wakes up
[22:59] <nullr> ZykoticK9: I asked that but thanks
[22:59] <birdiee_> ZykoticK9,  when i went into preferences in mplayer and tried to change to GL I got "Fatal Error: Mplayer interupted by signal 11 in module unkown"
[22:59] <nomed> HilBilly, i get device not ready under wireless networks
[23:00] <^workman^> ZykoticK9; yea I know, but he was root
[23:00] <nomed> it was working before
[23:00] <reactor16> how i do to remove mysql from startup ?
[23:00] <ZykoticK9> birdiee_, that's not the best sign.  what GUI are you using?
[23:00] <^workman^> ZykoticK9; even easier as a user type: id
[23:00] <HilBilly> you did check the switch on the computer and make sure your wireless card is turned on, didn't you?
[23:00] <birdiee_> ZykoticK9, you mean for ubuntu? gnome.
[23:00] <ZykoticK9> ^workman^, not as pretty ;)
[23:01] <nomed> HilBilly, no switch
[23:01] <ZykoticK9> birdiee_, what mplayer GUI are you using?  gnome-mplayer?
[23:01] <^workman^> ZykoticK9: true true, I dislike pretty ... =)~
[23:01] <nomed> HilBilly, i do not have any switch on this Acer Timeline
[23:01] <zaoul> I need to find a new distro

[23:01] <birdiee_> ZykoticK9, I am using the one I got from "sudo apt-get install mplayer" and then started it from applications -> sound and video..Mplayer media player
[23:02] <zaoul> ^workman^: wa
[23:02] <^workman^> zaoul: if you need to switch, why mention it, just switch
[23:02] <reactor16> how i do to remove mysql from system startup ?
[23:02] <ZykoticK9> birdiee_, see if you get the same error selecting gl2
[23:02] <zaoul> ^workman^: you really want an answer?
[23:02] <damaltor_> hello, i want to install grub2 onto an usb flash drive. i definitly need grub2, but on my host grub (NOT 2) is installed. how can i install grub2 onto the flash drive w/o updating my local grub?
[23:02] <^workman^> zaoul: dude its a free world, knock yourself out
[23:03] <birdiee_> ZykoticK9, I did.
[23:03] <zaoul> ^workman^: you're a confused individual

[23:04] <vinpan> well webpages in

[23:04] <zaoul> vinpan: for apache? /var/www/htdocs iirc
[23:04] <vinpan> yes
[23:04] <birdiee_> ZykoticK9, If I don't even choose anything just wait there in the video section it crashes..weird
[23:04] <zaoul> yea somewhere in /var .. tab completion is you're friend
[23:05] <ZykoticK9> birdiee_, try installing gnome-mplayer and see if you get the same error (gnome-mplayer isn't quite as feature rich mind you)
[23:05] <zaoul> ya hear that all? Tab completion is your friend!
[23:05] <puff> Dangit...
[23:06] <ZykoticK9> birdiee_, gnome-mplayer doesn't seem to give me the error when i select gl!

[23:07] <zaoul> word of advice: error messages are good
[23:07] <puff> First I was having a problem where firefox and xine sound would just stop working (though system beep, etc, came out fine), until I rebooted.  Then I updated again and now firefox flash video sound is gone again, but amarok/xine works just fine.

[23:15] <boscop_> hi. how can I set vidalia to start at boot and tor to start with it as a global proxy for all connections?

[23:16] <sman> oh
[23:16] <Guest38693> ZykoticK9: what do i do with that code?

[23:16] <cheoni> I am having problems installing or removing Adobe Flash player. Can I get some help,please?
[23:18] <ray9na> Hello
[23:18] <Guest38693> now when i try to do it, it says "unable to remove old x config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'"
[23:18] <vinpan> is this were i put my domain name at?
[23:18] <vinpan> <IP_ADDRESS>	localhost

[23:19] <ZykoticK9> Guest38693, http://paste.ubuntu.com/334809/
[23:19] <vinpan> wow
[23:19] <rip> nullr:  by "free", I mean http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
[23:20] <ray9na> I'm a total newbie to Linux, I just installed UNR 9.04, and I have a question about shortcuts (links, I guess) and the Favorites tab.
[23:20] <ZykoticK9> rip, as in "free as in beer" not "free as in freedom" ;)
[23:21] <Guest38693>  it still gives me the same error
[23:21] <vinpan> were it says localhost i replace that with my domain name?
[23:21] <orenji> excuse me, how to add xsl to the catalog?
[23:22] <ZykoticK9> ray9na, what is your question?  you can right click on any of the icons as use "Add to favorites" to add thing -- to modify or create new you need to use the "Main Menu" editor
[23:23] <ray9na> Well, I have a little stand-alone app that technically is Win-only, but I'm running it in Wine. I was wondering how I could access it more easily than navigating to where it is in my files.
[23:23] <ray9na> brb
[23:23] <Basso> how do i install xcfe on my fresh ubuntu 9.10 install?
[23:23] <rip> ZykoticK9:  "as in free speech", not "as in free beer".  ;-)
[23:23] <ZykoticK9> Guest38693, are you using "gksu nvidia-settings" ?
[23:23] <vinpan> were it says localhost i replace that with my domain name?
[23:23] <ray9na> back
[23:23] <Recliner> Hey all
[23:24] <Guest38693> no, just the display settings in preferences, which takes me to the nvidia setup program
[23:24] <Recliner> does anyone know how to make linux look like osx
[23:25] <raphael_> it already look like osx just a little different
[23:25] <Sememmon> Recliner: why would you want to? ;)
[23:25] <^workman^> ray9na: you can create a custom startup launcher by right clicking on the top bar in gnome, choose add to panel, and "custom app launcher"
[23:25]  * Sememmon stabs ALSA & PulseAudio
[23:25] <Recliner> silver is my favorite color and i like the way it looks.
[23:25] <ray9na> Let me see...
[23:26] <ZykoticK9> ray9na, in a terminal (or Alt+F2) run alacarte - which is the menu editor, then you could add your wine app manually
[23:26] <Guest38693> brb
[23:26] <ray9na> Okay, I'll need some hand-holding for that.
[23:26] <orenji> @rec system/appearance, you could change the color there
[23:28] <Recliner> i also like the dock
[23:28] <chun> Hi - occasionally my sound will just cut out, have to mute/unmute for it to work again. Where should I start debugging this? Nothing relevant is appearing in the syslog.
[23:28] <orenji> I have added xml to the catalog
[23:29] <orenji> but I've got no idea which file to add to catalog for xsl
[23:29] <ray9na> Ah, I think this is going to be easier than I feared. Thank you :-D
[23:29] <orenji> need it for building aegisub
[23:29] <^workman^> ray9na: np
[23:31] <arghh2d2> !ping
[23:32] <boscop_> how can I set tor as the global proxy for all connections?
[23:32] <boscop_> when I enter localhost and port 9050 in all 4 categories, it doesn't work
[23:33] <nat2610> Is there an apt-get command that tells which repository is picked to install a certain package ?
[23:33] <cheoni> I know my problem is stupid and not worth anyones time, but it is causing me alot of grief.  I would really appreciate a bit of assistance with it.
[23:33] <jrib> cheoni: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[23:33] <dragon> There's no way in the latest installer to select none of the "Other options" once you hit F6. Is this a known issue?
[23:34] <orenji> @nat
[23:34] <orenji> sudo apt-cache search xxx
[23:34] <dragon> Is it a real issue?
[23:34] <jrib> dragon: check http://bugs.ubuntu.com to see if it's a known issue
[23:34] <ZykoticK9> nat2610, you can usually get a hint, of where a package is coming from by running "apt-cache policy PACKAGE_FOO"
[23:34] <dragon> jrib: ok?
[23:34] <mabus> how do I remove a service from starting on boot, like rc-update in gentoo? is there something better than chmod -x the init script?
[23:34] <jrib> orenji, nat: no point in using sudo with apt-cache search
[23:34] <konbon> mabus: might wanna ask the gentoo guys
[23:34] <jrib> dragon: wasn't that your question?
[23:35] <zoggnoff> ubuntu is debian yeah
[23:35] <cheoni> How do I fix my problem with Adobe flash player?
[23:35] <jrib> cheoni: what is your problem with it...
[23:35] <konbon> cheoni: whats the problem?
[23:35] <dragon> jrib: that wasn't the answer I was expecting. I've been searching through bugs for a while, and I know I need to do that.
[23:35] <mabus> konbon: ... no, that's not what i asked
[23:35] <dragon> I'm still wondering whether it's a common issue...
[23:36] <ZykoticK9> mabus, if you're running 9.10 it's now controlled by Upstart (which doesn't seem to be too well documented at this point) - there was a GUI app for doing this in 9.04 and less
[23:36] <cheoni> (E: The package adobe-flash plugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find and archive for it) keeps poping up.
[23:36] <mabus> ZykoticK9: I'm using server 8.10
[23:36] <konbon> Upstart is the new ubuntu nighmare, imo :P
[23:36] <jrib> dragon: your question sounded like you wanted to know if it was known/common.  You check the bug tracker for that.  Seeing if the 10 people checking questions in this channel know about the problem isn't going to be as informative as seeing if a bug exists if all you care about is whether it is a known/common issue
[23:36] <ZykoticK9> mabus, you might want to ask in #ubuntu-server then, good luck
[23:37] <djuggler> I've got mysql installed on ubuntu 8.04. If I install postgresql will I have conflicts or problems that I need to be aware of?
[23:37] <jrib> dragon: I'm not telling you not to ask here, just where to look for existing bugs
[23:37] <jrib> !who | cheoni
[23:37] <ritesh> How can i setup cron , to execute my php script..
[23:37] <jrib> cheoni: and what do you want to do?  Install flash?
[23:37] <sdwrage> Hey all
[23:37] <ritesh> i tried with crontab -e
[23:37] <jrib> ritesh: do you just have to visit a page with wget?
[23:38] <sdwrage> I am on IRC through CLI... cant get onto KDE desktop :(
[23:38] <dragon> jrib: ok cool.
[23:38] <djuggler> it doesn't show in the add/remove applications but is there a way to confirm that postgresql is not already installed?
[23:38] <ZykoticK9> ritesh, i doubt cron can execute php scripts - unless you has a cli php program running?  good luck
[23:38] <ritesh> No
[23:38] <Flannel> djuggler: Check in synaptic (add/remove is a select subset of programs).  Or, use dpkg: dpkg -l | grep postgres
[23:39] <ritesh> jrib, can i get the source code of the page with that too?
[23:39] <orenji> gtk doc needs xsl stylesheet
[23:39] <orenji> I have installed it
[23:39] <ritesh> ZykoticK9, i have cli installed..
[23:39] <cheoni> jrib: Flash quit working. I can't remove it, it won't allow me to do that.
[23:39] <djuggler> Flannel: excellent! I thought they were the same. thx
[23:39] <jrib> ritesh: what do you mean by source code?  If you mean the page the server returns, sure
[23:39] <orenji> How to add it to othe catalog
[23:39] <sdwrage> Can anyone help me with an issue? I try to boot up kubuntu after I installed kubuntu-desktop and it starts to load... graphics get wierd... then goes to black screen...
[23:39] <jrib> cheoni: yes, I'm asking you what you want to do once you remove it
[23:39] <ritesh> jrib,
[23:39] <ritesh> i mean html of the page ..
[23:40] <cheoni> jrib: reinstall it.
[23:40] <jrib> ritesh: yes, wget returns the html of the page
[23:40] <lun4tic> hey how about promoting ubuntu at the fifa worldcup in southafrica next year? :D

[23:41] <ritesh> ooh okay , i just checked it ,
[23:41] <cheoni> jrib: I receive the message (E:The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.) keeps popping up.
[23:41] <ritesh> can i use it to get urls saved in database?
[23:41] <felix_> sdwrage: unrucky haha
[23:41] <jrib> cheoni: right.  So reinstall it and tell me the error
[23:42] <sdwrage> felix, yeah... unrucky...
[23:42] <sdwrage> felix, still doesnt help me solve the issue :|
[23:42] <R1_> Hi... I recently upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. Now every time I log in there's a 3/4 chance that the top and bottom gnome panels freeze up and I can't access them. Right now I'm using terminal to  connect to the internet and get on xchat
[23:42] <felix_> no... sorry
[23:42] <sdwrage> thinking about killing the partition, reinstalling
[23:42] <sdwrage> but I need a folder off of it
[23:43] <orenji> ok, another problem, the drive shortcuts are missing from Files & Folder tab, how to fix that... thx
[23:43] <konbon> sdwrage: the live cd works fine?
[23:43] <konbon> even after the install
[23:43] <sdwrage> yeah, the live cd is fine
[23:43] <artillery129> yo
[23:43] <rhett> apache and mysql start if I do /etc/init.d/apache2 start etc., but they don't start on boot
[23:43] <artillery129> whassup big boy
[23:43] <konbon> might be the X settings
[23:43] <artillery129> join #xbins
[23:43] <konbon> need to find some one who knows more about X
[23:43] <artillery129> hey
[23:43] <Flare183> !ot | artillery129
[23:43] <artillery129> how do i change server?
[23:44] <sdwrage> konbon, I installed kubuntu-desktop on my perfectly fine ubuntu install and then logged out and back into kde... all was good... shut off PC and then restarted... thats when it freaked
[23:44] <felix_> sdwrage: start the livecd up, mount your hard drive and get the folder off the hard drive
[23:44] <konbon> artillery129: /links
[23:44] <rhett> II did this  sudo update-rc.d apache2 defaults
[23:44] <jrib> R1_: test if the same happens with a freshly created new user
[23:44] <cheoni> jrib: package installer reads "Could not open 'install_flash_player_10_linux.deb' The package might me corrupted or you are not allowed to open the file."
[23:44] <rhett> and it says it already exists
[23:44] <jrib> rhett: you shouldn't have to do that.  It should start automatically after you install it
[23:44] <sdwrage> felix_, thats actually a good idea... I am probably gonna install kubuntu right off the bat this time
[23:44] <R1_> jrib, k i'll brb
[23:45] <jrib> cheoni: download the package again, then run "sudo dpkg -i /path/to/package"
[23:45] <felix_> off the bat?
[23:45] <konbon> sdwrage:i had that same problem, but i also came here for help
[23:45] <konbon> some one here knows X commands more than i do
[23:45] <Halitech> cheoni, were you in the correct directory? ie, if you do ls -l does the file show?
[23:45] <R1_> jrib, how do you know how to log out through terminal?
[23:45] <sdwrage> konbon, is kde and gnome built on top of x?
[23:45] <jrib> R1_: you mean log out of gnome?
[23:46] <R1_> jrib, yes
[23:46] <rhett> well, it doesn't start unless I start it manually
[23:46] <jrib> R1_: gnome-session-SOMETHING (I don't have gnome installed).  Maybe gnome-session-save, but read man page
[23:46] <jrib> !who | rhett
[23:46] <R1_> jrib k thx
[23:46] <jrib> rhett: what version of ubuntu?
[23:46] <sdwrage> Can anyone help me with a graphics issue and not being able to get into my desktop environment? seems to be a problem with X?
[23:47] <sdwrage> Got an ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro
[23:47] <cheoni> jrib: When I type that into the terminal, it reads "dpkg: error processing /path/to/package (--install):cannot access archive: No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing:/path/to/package"
[23:47] <jrib> cheoni: because when I say "/path/to/package" I mean replace that by the actual path to the package
[23:48] <cheoni> jrib: Okay, lets try a route I might understand. How do I get rid of adobe flash player?
[23:49] <jrib> cheoni: you have to do what I said.  Basically, I need to see the error you get when you try to reinstall it so that I can tell you to edit the proper file to fix it
[23:49] <a1887> hi there
[23:49] <jrib> cheoni: did you do the first thing I asked?  Redownload the .deb?
[23:50] <a1887> could anybody tell me, why my external harddrive keeps shuting down after a while since the new ubuntu release?
[23:50] <cheoni> jrib: how can i send you a screen shot?

[23:51] <jrib> cheoni: I don't need a screenshot, just copy and paste the text
[23:51] <noah> anybody else finding latest firefox 3.5 highly broken on karmic? all kinds of weirdness, clicks don't work, websites don't open, scrollbar on the wrong side, fonts messed up...
[23:51] <sonne> have you upgraded it?
[23:52] <sonne> as in, from a previous version?
[23:52] <noah> sonne: i'm all up to date with apt-get ...
[23:52] <sonne> no, i mean...
[23:52] <cheoni> jrib: http://imagebin.org/74128
[23:52] <sonne> it used to work as a previous version, then you upgraded it to 3.5, and it stopped working?
[23:52] <Metwo> hi
[23:53] <jrib> cheoni: you told me this already.  Can you please do what I have asked you to?  Redownload the package.
[23:53] <VirusTB> hi
[23:53] <VirusTB> yay!
[23:53] <VirusTB> i got compiz working properly!
[23:53] <cheoni> jrib: okay. How do I go about redownloading the package?
[23:53] <Halitech> cheoni, when gdebi opened, did it ask you for a password?
[23:53] <Metwo> VirusTB, good for you
[23:53] <sonne> grats VirusTB :D
[23:53] <noah> sonne: it was working until a little while ago when i did apt-get upgrade... i'm not sure firefox itself was upgraded in that upgrade though
[23:53] <jrib> cheoni: how did you download it the first time?
[23:54] <VirusTB> now my computer looks BAD ASS!
[23:54] <cheoni> Halitech: no. it asked for no password
[23:54] <sonne> noah, have you tried with a blank configuration? maybe something got messed up in the config migration or whatnot
[23:54] <Metwo> !ot >virusrb
[23:54] <Metwo> !ot >virustb
[23:54] <cheoni> jrib: I downloaded it from adobe's website.
[23:54] <Halitech> cheoni, so you basically don't have permission to install, sounds like your file might be fine but you need to install it properly
[23:54] <noah> sonne: i.e. mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.bak ?
[23:54] <jrib> cheoni: so download it again from there...
[23:54] <Metwo> ok
[23:55] <sonne> or -> HOME=/tmp firefox
[23:55] <sonne> i usually do that
[23:55] <noah> ah that's an idea
[23:55] <Metwo> who needs help
[23:55] <sonne> but be sure to close all firefox windows before you do that
[23:55] <mahngiel> ubuntu isn't recognizing my DVDs
[23:55] <cheoni> jrib: that is where I am downloading it from.
[23:55] <sonne> or it will just spawn another window
[23:55] <Metwo> mahngiel,  Movie DVD?
[23:55] <noah> right
[23:55] <mahngiel> Metwo: indeed
[23:55] <noah> sonne: looks like it might be working
[23:55] <cheoni> halitech: how do I go about installing it properly/
[23:55] <mahngiel> i've been looking for plugins but haven't found any
[23:56] <Halitech> cheoni, where did you download the file to?
[23:56] <sonne> noah, try the same things on both setups
[23:56] <sonne> determine if that is the problem
[23:56] <cheoni> halitech: thank you
[23:56] <coz_> mahngiel,  pluging for what?
[23:56] <noah> sonne: hmm actually just remembered zotero extension upgraded itself a little while ago too
[23:56] <VirusTB> mahngiel,  plugin ??
[23:56] <VirusTB> mahngiel,  u have VLC installed?
[23:56] <sonne> i don't know what extension that is, but that can be a cause
[23:56] <mahngiel> coz_: idk, anything that may be missing. no i do not Virus, it won't mount
[23:57] <sonne> once you've determined that the problem is not within firefox itself, but within something in your .mozilla, you can start examining that
[23:57] <mahngiel> it's not that VLC  won't mount, my DVD disk won't
[23:57] <coz_> mahngiel, for which application again?
[23:57] <cheoni> Halitech: you asked the right question. Okay, now I am in the containing folder. how do go about unlocking the containing folder?
[23:57] <mahngiel> coz_: any really. movies just won't mount...
[23:57] <jrib> cheoni: you don't need to unlock anything.  Anyway, ping me if you are stuck
[23:57] <ZykoticK9> mahngiel, if you are using 9.10 and want video DVD support see http://paste.ubuntu.com/334837/
[23:57] <alesan> mp3
[23:57] <alesan> !mp3
[23:57] <Ronald> Winamp not Running
[23:58] <Halitech> cheoni,  what do you mean unlocking the containing folder?
[23:58] <mahngiel> ZykoticK9: ty.
[23:58] <coz_> mahngiel,  oh for you video player !  which video player?  vlc   mplayer  totem  ?
[23:58] <mahngiel> coz_: mplayer is the only installed atm. but the problem is that the disk won't even mount. does a prgm need to be able to ID the disk before it'll mount?
[23:58] <coz_> mahngiel,  this is a dvd disk?
[23:59] <cheoni> halitech: it is showing a lock by the installer package.
[23:59] <coz_> mahngiel,  did you already install ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[23:59] <mahngiel> coz_: yap
[23:59] <noah> sonne: thanks for the suggestions, poking around now... disabling zotero didn't fix it
[23:59] <coz_> mahngiel,  did you already run       sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[23:59] <Halitech> cheoni, can you open a terminal in the folder you are in currently? ie, right click - open terminal here?
[23:59] <mahngiel> i don't have ubuntu-desktop installed however
[23:59] <coz_> mahngiel,  oh?
[23:59] <mahngiel> coz: it was already installed
