[00:00] <Huufarted> Josh1, just ask the question, don't ask if you can ask it.
[00:00] <yves_> this may be a stupid noob-question: when i run something in terminal (e.g. espeak, i just open terminal and type espeak), how do I get back to normal terminal-mode?
[00:00] <vigo> avtarr: gksudo work?
[00:00] <avtarr> i've edited /root/.bashrc /root/.profile /etc/environment /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/login.defs but no dice
[00:00] <vigo> hrmmm
[00:00] <Huufarted> yves, first you need to ctrl-C to kill the app
[00:00] <yves_> ok thx
[00:01] <Huufarted> OR you can type:  espeak &
[00:01] <avtarr> and /root/.bash_profile
[00:01] <Huufarted> which will execute the application and return you to the terminal
[00:01] <dan__> hello
[00:01] <Mavericks> josh1:what is your question
[00:01] <warbler99> yves: generally ctrl-c works as an escape
[00:01] <mrwes> avtarr, have you tried /etc/profile?
[00:01] <wolter> hi, i am unable to execute anything on my ntfs storage drive...
[00:01] <mrwes> heh
[00:02] <spritle> anyone upgraded to 9.04 yet?
[00:02] <warbler99> if you want to drop something into the background instead of exiting you can type ctrl-z followed by "bg"
[00:02] <dan__> Can anyone help me get my VNC working?
[00:02] <Mavericks> wolter: permissions issue may be
[00:02] <melwtech35> anyway can someone help me configureeeeeee pg_hba.conf? i am getting errors?
[00:02] <gmspence> dan___ whats the problem?
[00:02] <avtarr> mrwes: yup
[00:02] <avtarr> export PATH="$PATH:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin"
[00:02] <avtarr> with that in it
[00:02] <wolter> Mavericks, yeah.. the strange thing is that my user has 'create and delete' files, so nautilus said.
[00:02] <josh1> i was trying to get the Mac look alike task bar, and well.. that didnt work, i deleted my taskbar as the insturctions on a web site said to, i was able to get a taskbar back, but i cant minamize anything to it, i found out that i cant run AWN which had the mac taskbar i wanted, what can i do about both these issues?
[00:03] <Huufarted> I'm looking at adding a shutdown/reboot to my cron for a weekly reboot.  What's the safest reboot command to use for this?
[00:03] <dan__> I'm running RealVNC on my windows machine, and attempting to connect from my ubuntu laptop, but nothing happens when I try to use any of the VNC clients i've got installed
[00:03] <wolter> Mavericks, also, i chmod +x all the files.
[00:03] <Pici> avtarr: Have you relogged since you made that change?
[00:03] <gregspence> the windows machine on the same network?
[00:03] <dan__> Yes
[00:03] <Huufarted> avtarr:  export PATH; PATH=<Your path>
[00:03] <avtarr> here's the weird part
[00:03] <avtarr> i just tried this...
[00:03] <avtarr> sudo echo $PATH
[00:03] <avtarr> - /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin
[00:03] <Pici> avtarr: why sudo?
[00:05] <vigo> @echo $path ,,yada yada yada
[00:05] <Guest59739> hello, can anyone please tell me how many source links they got in their software sources?
[00:05] <mrwes> avtarr, does the group have rites to that path?
[00:05] <Huufarted> Avtarr, are YOU trying to execute this program or is some root command executing it?
[00:05] <Flannel> Guest59739: You don't need any.
[00:05] <nifty> flannel why not?
[00:05] <spritle> can 8.10 direct upgrade to 9.04 without reinstalling?
[00:05] <dan__> Ive got thee port opened, and i even got it to prompt me for a pssword once, but now it wont even do that anymmore
[00:05] <Flannel> spritle: Yes.  #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty questions.
[00:05] <fearful> avtarr: That command "sudo gedit" will open it as a text file
[00:05] <Flannel> nifty: Because you don't need any source repos
[00:06] <spritle> ah
[00:06] <fearful> avtarr: It's a test
[00:06] <avtarr> Huufarted: i'm logged in as a normal user and typing "sudo facter"
[00:06] <nifty> flannel: how so? i got find anything in the software package manager
[00:06] <gregspence> dan___ u get my msg?
[00:06] <avtarr> Huufarted: facter is a script in that directory i mentioned
[00:06] <nifty> i cannot find anything that is
[00:06] <Flannel> nifty: source repositories vs binary repositories
[00:06] <Huufarted> ah...
[00:06] <fearful> avtarr: Yea try and open it in text "sudo gedit facter" to see if it working like the file
[00:06] <xoox> I had packages from a wrong distro version in a directory that I had in my sources.list. I did an 'apt-get update' and then noticed I was going to install those packages on upgrade. I removed the line from sources.list, apt-get update; apt-get clean; but the packages are still listed for upgrade (I know they are being pulled from file on my machine through apt-cache policy). What gives?
[00:07] <melwtech35> anyway can someone help me configureeeeeee pg_hba.conf? i am getting errors?
[00:07] <nifty> flannel: ok so what do i need to find software such as amule, ssh, tightvnc and so forth?
[00:07] <Huufarted> Avtarr, what's the exact error it gives you?
[00:07] <avtarr> Huufarted: sudo: facter: command not found
[00:07] <sathyrio1> nifty: use command: sudo apt-get install amule ssh tightvnc
[00:08] <avtarr> but when i log in as root by doing "sudo su -"
[00:08] <avtarr> then it works
[00:08] <nifty> i have and it says it cannot find it
[00:08] <Huufarted> Avtarr, add it to your path
[00:08] <Huufarted> not to root's path
[00:08] <Flannel> nifty: Er... ssh is installed by default.  amule is in universe  and tightvnc is in multiverse.  Which both are enabled by default on recent versions of Ubuntu.  Whta version of Ubuntu are you using?
[00:08] <avtarr> yea it's in my path as well
[00:08] <nifty> flannel: i downloaded the alternative 8.10 desktop version
[00:08] <Lord_Nightmare> if i apt-get install an already insalled package and it says "<package> set to manually installed." how do i UNSET that?
[00:08] <avtarr> this is really weird, i've done this a million times before
[00:09] <avtarr> :/
[00:09] <Huufarted> does it show up when you 'echo $PATH' without sudo?
[00:09] <Lord_Nightmare> otherwise that messes up autoremove
[00:09] <avtarr> yup
[00:09] <redvamp128> xoox:  purge?
[00:09] <Flannel> nifty: Alright.  When you installed, did you have the computer connected to the internet?
[00:09] <nifty> flannel: yes
[00:09] <Huufarted> perhaps control characters in the script's name.  do this:  ls -b <full_path_for_facter>
[00:09] <Flannel> nifty: Alright, go ahead and pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list, I'll take a look at them
[00:09] <nifty> kk one sec
[00:10] <xoox> redvamp128: What command?
[00:10] <nifty> flannel: http://pastebin.com/me6b3869
[00:10] <Mavericks> josh1:i was trying to get the Mac look alike task bar, and well.. that didnt work, i deleted my taskbar as the insturctions on a web site said to, i was able to get a taskbar back, but i cant minamize anything to it, i found out that i cant run AWN which had the mac taskbar i wanted, what can i do about both these issues?
[00:10] <redvamp128> xoox:  I don't know the usage-- but I need to check-- I just know that you have tried clean-- but have seen purge used before
[00:10] <Mavericks> josh1: regarding this issue  - can you post the website the instructions?
[00:10] <Pollywog> what can be done when an app's dialog box is too big for the screen?
[00:10] <nifty> flannel: can i pm you?
[00:10] <Flannel> nifty: Ah.  Is this a fresh install?  (That all looks fine)
[00:10] <Mavericks> josh1: there might be a missing link or a piece of information in it , or sometihng related to deletion
[00:11] <nifty> flannel: yes its a new install
[00:11] <xoox> redvamp128: Purge is used to remove configuration files when removing a package
[00:11] <Flannel> nifty: right.  Before you can install anything, you need to fetch the list of packages:  sudo apt-get update
[00:11] <redvamp128> spritle:  Ask that question in #ubuntu+1 you are more likely to find someone who either has 9 or has upgraded
[00:11] <nifty> flannel: i already installed the os can i still do this after installed?
[00:11] <Flannel> nifty: After that, you can install stuff.  Again, ssh is already installed.  And others likely have slightly different names.  apt-cache search [whatever]
[00:12] <Flannel> nifty: Yeah, you need to do this after you install.
[00:12] <nifty> flannel: ok thanks ill try it now
[00:12] <peope> What is the rationale for not using the preemtive kernel patch in generic kernel?
[00:12] <melwtech35> anyway can someone help me configureeeeeee pg_hba.conf? i am getting errors?
[00:12] <Flannel> peope: generic kernel does have PREEMPT enabled, server doesn't.
[00:13] <peope> Flannel: strange.. what do we have linux-rt package for then?
[00:13] <wolter> hi, how do i realize which processes need a partition? I can't unmount because some processes are using it.. and its just a storage drive.
[00:13] <josh1> is there anythign i can do?
[00:13] <Huufarted> vsftpd question:  My vsftpd tells me only anonymous login.  How do I enable individual user logins like normal?
[00:14] <Flannel> peope: That's the realtime kernel, that's different than PREEMPT
[00:14] <redvamp128> xoox:  I think I may find something that may or may not work -- sudo apt-get autoclean
[00:14] <peope> Flannel: oh.. I see. Thank you :)
[00:14] <BJ_> Help plz
[00:15] <Bigglezor> Good Evenin/mornin

[00:18] <Bigglezor> (ubuntu
[00:18] <xoox> redvamp128: No that doesn't do anything to solve the problem

[00:20] <gregspence> hi guys anyone able to help me with my vpn.  set up pptd - can connect remotely and access system shares however cannot send any other traffic over the connection - soon as I fire up browser states connection failed
[00:20] <gregspence> any ideas?
[00:21] <Pici> !logs | nbeebo
[00:21] <nifty> flannel: is iptables also installed by default?
[00:21] <^hashbang^> !pptp
[00:21] <Flannel> nifty: should be.
[00:21] <^hashbang^> !vpn
[00:22] <gregspence> yeah but pptp is just a quick way to make sure no one can see what i'm doing over their connection
[00:22] <martin101> Hello all, I wonder if someone can answer a question regarding gnome-panel?
[00:22] <Xamusk> for bigger home systems (like with 4GB RAM) should I use a swap partition or is it better to use a swap file to be able to redimension it better?
[00:22] <dogmagitron> hello can anyone tell me how i can know when my pc was last turned on and what time? thanks
[00:22] <foolz> does anyone know how I can check what version of Beryl / Compiz / whatever it is that I have, and whether it is compatible with my Ubuntu version (7.10)?  I just upgraded to 7.10 from 7.04 and my Beryl Window Manager is making the window borders disappear
[00:22] <Pollywog> dogmagitron: uptime?
[00:22] <Myrtti> dogmagitron: 'uptime'
[00:22] <Bodsda> foolz, compiz --version ?
[00:23] <dogmagitron> thanks Pollywog and Myrtti
[00:23] <Smegzor> yay!  I have a skype connection to my client after all.  How easy is it to record a skype call in Ubuntu?  On Windows there is a plugin for that but it is an exe.  If I am desperate I can install Skype on my virtual XP and do it that way.
[00:23] <foolz> bodsda, thanks... seemed to work... are Compiz and Beryl the same thing now? I have been letting my linux knowledge stagnate lately unfortunately :)
[00:23] <^hashbang^> Smegzor: if you get sound working through Virtualbox let me know
[00:24] <Bigglezor> right, well nab question, dual booting with xp 64bit, i've installed ubantu twice but it just boots straight into windows when i reset, no grub screen or anything??
[00:24] <Bodsda> foolz, nope, never where never will be -- beryl is discontinued and the compiz extras team joined with the compiz guys to create compiz-fusion
[00:24] <Smegzor> ^hashbang^: I've had sound in virtualbox for ages.  I'm about to install Skype there.  I'll letcha know if that works with sound.
[00:24] <dogmagitron> Pollywog and Myrtti that only tells me how long my PC has been running. Do you know how it can tell me for example when my system was last turned on?
[00:24] <Forza> hey guys quick question... i have a 2.4ghz core 2 duo with 4gb of ram.... should i install x86 or x64 version of ubuntu??? what is your opinion?
[00:24] <Pollywog> Bigglezor: did you forget the MBR
[00:24] <Pollywog> ?
[00:25] <Pollywog> dogmagitron: you might try the bootlog
[00:25] <^hashbang^> Smegzor: under ubuntu being the host? you have sound from your windows system? hmmmm
[00:25] <Bigglezor> well I was readying a tut that said let it do its thing and the boot screen should come up
[00:25] <Smegzor> yip
[00:25] <Bigglezor> *reading
[00:25] <foolz> bodsda, ah, okay... I guess it might be easiest for me to just uninstall this Beryl version I have now, or whatever it is, and get the latest compiz-fusion thing then
[00:25] <linuxman410> Forza x64 i would
[00:25] <^hashbang^> Smegzor: I'll have to poke around somemore then =)
[00:25] <Bigglezor> so left it to use hd0
[00:25] <Smegzor> I disabled pulse audio
[00:25] <Pollywog> you have to enable the bootlog and I think the way to do it has changed recently
[00:25] <^hashbang^> Smegzor: ah, good idea
[00:25] <^hashbang^> Smegzor: thx
[00:26] <Bigglezor> yea, the install has changed from last time i used it
[00:26] <Pollywog> it was in /etc/default
[00:26] <Bigglezor> i think
[00:26] <Bigglezor> but as i say, am a nab
[00:26] <Forza> linuxman410, is the performane increase noticable?
[00:26] <Bodsda> foolz, yes! get rid of beryl now!
[00:26] <dogmagitron> thanks Pollywog
[00:26] <josh1> are there any codes i can use to fix my taskbar? i have one but when i minamize things, they disaper and do not go onto it
[00:26] <Bigglezor> it's set up by default to use the bootloader
[00:26] <linuxman410> Forza i think it is i am running the x64 version
[00:27] <Pici> josh1: you need to add the 'window list' applet to your panel.
[00:27] <Forza> yeah im running x64 on my main desktop, and its great but i have 8bg of ram
[00:27] <Smegzor> ^hashbang^: with pulse audio enabled, ubuntu would lose sound while virtualbox had it, unless I was playing music when I launched virtualbox.  with pulse disabled, both can use sound without issue.
[00:27] <Pollywog> Bigglezor: I think you will have to install again but first read the documentation about how to finish the install
[00:27] <Forza> i was wondering if it was owrth it for the laptop with 4gb considering some of the troubles you run into with x64
[00:27] <Pollywog> it is a bit tricky sometimes to write the MBR correctly
[00:27] <linuxman410> Forza my desktop only has 2gb ram but i notice a difference
[00:28] <Bigglezor> re-installing is fine, takes no time, just the documentation i've foindf on the net if for an old ver
[00:28] <Bigglezor> *found
[00:28] <Bigglezor> !install
[00:28] <^hashbang^> Smegzor: lol, I didn't enable audio in VB lol
[00:28] <Pollywog> I just installed intrepid and did not have to fiddle with the MBR but I did in some versions of Debian and *buntu
[00:28] <Smegzor> then there is that :)
[00:28] <dogmagitron> hello can anyone tell me how i can know when firefox was last run?
[00:29] <josh1> thank you Pici that did the job
[00:29] <Bigglezor> well tyvm, I shall have another bash and i'll be back on either os either way :)
[00:29] <Chlorate> When I run compiz and a video, the refresh rate seems wrong and the video flashes black? I'm on intrepid.
[00:29] <Forza> ok thanks for the advice i will go with the x64 flavor then
[00:29] <Pollywog> dogmagitron: no I think that is generally not possible
[00:29] <Forza> anyone try ubuntu 9.1 yet?
[00:29] <Forza> is it worth the download in the alpha stage?
[00:30] <dogmagitron> thanks Pollywog I think I just found out here: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/get-last-accessed-file-time-in-ubuntu-linux/
[00:30] <linuxman410> Forza i tried 9.04 alpha 4 and loved it
[00:30] <Pollywog> dogmagitron: you can sometimes get a clue by looking at the browser cache
[00:30] <dogmagitron> Pollywog my wife has been accessing my pc while i am asleep.........
[00:30] <Forza> any noticable enhancements over 8.10?
[00:30] <Pollywog> or get software like that which is used to monitor kids access
[00:30] <Pollywog> dogmagitron: oic
[00:31] <Pollywog> well she likes the Penguin
[00:31] <dogmagitron> Pollywog lol
[00:31] <bartek_> welcome, anybody has experience with ir and lirc; i have hp pavilion dv5 with remote control - hp rc6; only one button is working for me out of the box
[00:31] <dogmagitron> I gave her a Penguin before going to sleep ;)
[00:31] <^hashbang^> Smegzor: you use shared folders on VB?
[00:32] <Pollywog> well now you know what she wants for her birthday, a computer
[00:32] <linuxman410> Forza programs install easier and run better in my opinion
[00:32] <craigbass1976> I'm trying to boot off a livecd.  I see an x, then a mouse pointer, then it turds out.  Ctrl+Alt+anumber doesn't dump me into a command line.  Any advice?
[00:32] <gajop> hey, is there no 64bit version of flash available at ubuntu repos? I thought it was released some time ago; and no I don't mean the nspluginwrapper crap that breaks after 10min of use, i mean the real thing
[00:33] <Forza> ok i will try it
[00:33] <Forza> thanks
[00:33] <dogmagitron> Pollywog: lol ok, ill give her this one when I get a new one :)
[00:33] <Pollywog> dogmagitron: giver her an account on your machine
[00:34] <craigbass1976> Is there some "safer" mode I can boot into?
[00:34] <jrib> craigbass1976: what does that mean?
[00:34] <BBishop> whoa .. where did /proc/acpi/wmi/WMID go in 8.10 ? :|
[00:34] <Pollywog> craigbass1976: yes Ubuntu installs one
[00:34] <Pollywog> by default
[00:35] <craigbass1976> jrib, something that's more likely to work somewhat regardless of your graphics card
[00:35] <craigbass1976> all I need is a command line
[00:35] <Pollywog> craigbass1976: you can get that by hitting esc key when the machine boots
[00:36] <Pollywog> then select the image you want to boot and enter the 'e' key
[00:36] <craigbass1976> Pollywog, when it boots off the cd?
[00:36] <Pollywog> ohhhh
[00:36] <m4rk> hel0
[00:36] <Pollywog> use the text install
[00:36] <craigbass1976> Ahh...
[00:37]  * BBishop wants /proc/acpi/wmi/WMID in 8.10 !!!!!
[00:37] <celaborn> exit
[00:37] <starphoenix> can anyone help me get a VNC working between ubuntu and windows?
[00:37] <Pollywog> on my disc that I got in Linux Format I had an option to use a text install but when I burn my own CD I used the alternate install CD image
[00:38] <Jufis> StrokeIt alternative for ubuntu?
[00:38]  * YankDownUnder thinks "Ubuntu's Evil Twin"
[00:38] <Pollywog> starphoenix: did you install Xming or the VNC program on Windows?
[00:38] <Pollywog> I assume you want to VNC from Windows to Linux?
[00:39] <craigbass1976> starphoenix, vncviewer windows-ip-address
[00:39] <Bacta> Hi why can I only get libxml-2.0 from Synaptic?
[00:39] <Bacta> I need libxml-2.6
[00:39] <Huufarted> What's the safest 'shutdown' command to use to reboot an ubuntu machine?
[00:39] <Bacta> reboot
[00:39] <YankDownUnder> Bacta, Did you setup your sources to include beta/unreleased stuff?
[00:39] <Bacta> Don't think so, how can I?
[00:39] <craigbass1976> Pollywog, how to I boot to cli only?  I' at a boot: prompt, and haven't yet found the answer in google.  I don't want to install, just grab some files
[00:39] <Pollywog> shutdown -r  0
[00:39] <starphoenix> to windows from linux
[00:40] <YankDownUnder> Bacta, Souces Mangler
[00:40] <Huufarted> Bacta, I tried that last time and it froze at the boot progress bar
[00:40] <Kryzler> Huufarted, you need to do sudo reboot
[00:40] <Huufarted> thanks, Pollywog
[00:40] <Huufarted> aye, Kryzler, thanks.
[00:40] <Kryzler> np
[00:40] <Pollywog> craigbass1976: there is an option to boot off the disk
[00:40] <Pollywog> on older versions you would enter:  boot: linux
[00:40] <Pollywog> or a variation of that
[00:41] <Bacta> YankDownUnder: I'm in Software Sources, now where?
[00:41] <YankDownUnder> Third-Party
[00:41] <craigbass1976> Pollywog, disk won't boot; cooked drive
[00:41] <Pollywog> oic
[00:41] <Bacta> Ok, what do I add?
[00:41] <YankDownUnder> Bacta, Oopos - sorry - UPDATES...sorry mate
[00:41] <Bacta> kk :)
[00:41] <Pollywog> craigbass1976: not sure then
[00:41] <Huufarted> Offtopic for Pollywog:  You should consider being a Shellback instead of a Pollywog!
[00:42] <Bacta> Tick Unsupported?

[00:42] <Pollywog> craigbass1976: you can get a rescue CD
[00:42] <Pollywog> there are several types
[00:42] <YankDownUnder> Bacta, Yeppers...then after ya happy with that, either do the "sudo apt-get update" from the cli or update through Synaptic
[00:42] <Pollywog> google for Linux system rescue
[00:42] <kebomix_> hello , how to add registery key to wine ?
[00:42] <YankDownUnder> Bacta, ...and the Pre-Release stuff...
[00:44] <Droopsta915> Is GTK POD the best program to use for my ipod?
[00:44] <Pollywog> http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page
[00:45] <Pollywog> Droopsta915: probably not
[00:45] <mib_9xpe6p4u> droop - amarok maybe
[00:45] <Pollywog> Amarok works and there are some others
[00:45] <sileni> hey guys im having trouble installing spim in my ubuntu intrepid. My teacher said i could just do sudo apt-get install spim and it would work. But it is not working. I did research and its supposed to be in multiverse. I checked my sources.list and the multiverse repositories are uncommented. Any ideas on what i might be missing?
[00:45] <Pollywog> gtkpod is good though
[00:45] <Droopsta915> Is gtkpod ok to manage the songs on my ipod?
[00:45] <Zambezi> Droopsta915: If you have an old iPod, you can always flash it with Rockbox.
[00:46] <Pollywog> Droopsta915: yes
[00:46] <YankDownUnder> sileni, Have you manually edited the sources.list and uncommented those?
[00:46] <sileni> no
[00:46] <YankDownUnder> sileni, Hmmm...methinks that that would be a good thing.
[00:46] <Smegzor> ^hashbang^: yes i have a shared folder

[00:46] <josh1> does any one know, any other way other than AWN to get a mac look alike taskbar?
[00:46] <sileni> YankDownUnder: hmm ok i go try it now
[00:46] <YankDownUnder> sileni, And bring me back a cheeseburger! :)
[00:47] <Droopsta915> Pollywog: Thanks for the help. Zambezi, I'll try flashing it next time for now I just want to add a few songs

[00:47] <rambo298> anyone know why my forward/backward arrows in firefox would gray out permanently?
[00:47] <Pollywog> btw to the person who wants to boot to a command line, the System Rescue CD is very good for that but you have to download an ISO and burn it
[00:48] <YankDownUnder> rambo298, There's no where to go?
[00:48] <rambo298> i go to gmail ... no gray back arrow
[00:48] <rambo298> i go somewhere else
[00:48] <rambo298> no gray back arrow
[00:48] <YankDownUnder> Pollywog, If you edit the /etc/inittab and change the default to 1, does that not correct the issue?
[00:48] <YankDownUnder> rambo298, Not sure mate. Not sure...
[00:49] <rambo298> i did a recent auto-update then poof ... no more forward/backward ... tried reinstalling the firefox package ... same thing
[00:49] <riddlebox> hello I upgraded my system today that runs zoneminder, from the repos and now I cannot view my cameras?
[00:49] <sileni> YankDownUnder: i uncommented the multiverse-restricted entries, and it still cannot find spim
[00:50] <FrozenFire> Does anyone know of software for Ubuntu to manage SSHFS hosts in a GUI? I'm getting a little tired of manually juggling hosts and connecting each time via the command-line. It'd be nice if I could save host details, and connect with a single click.
[00:50] <Sigurd112> anyone here?
[00:50] <YankDownUnder> rambo298, Er...what about just blowing out yer profile dir for ~/.mozilla and then trying again...??
[00:50] <Daemonic> Sigurd112: nope.
[00:50] <FrozenFire> Sigurd112: Not a single person
[00:50] <YankDownUnder> sileni, Did you do an "apt-get update" -> ??
[00:50] <andrei> Bonjour, je souhaite savoir si puppy linux fonctionne avec fluxbox ...
[00:50] <sileni> YankDownUnder: im currently looking at this. http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/electronics/spim if the package is available for dapper it should be available for intrepid
[00:50] <sileni> YankDownUnder: yes i did sudo aptitude update
[00:50] <Furu> 2cm of the edge of my laptop's lcd is damaged. does anyone know a app. that lets me just shrink my desktop so that it doesnt use the 2cm edge of the screen?
[00:50] <YankDownUnder> sileni, Yes...SHOULD...
[00:51] <andrei> fluxbox work with puppy linux ?
[00:51] <YankDownUnder> sileni, Matter of fact, if you already know where the .deb files are for SPIM, you should be able to just d/l them and install them manually if all else fails...
[00:51] <galvanize> Hi all
[00:51] <Furu> !fluxbox
[00:51] <andrei> !fluxbox
[00:51] <sileni> YankDownUnder: yes but it irks me , not being able to get this with apt-get

[00:51] <andrei> dont work !fluxbox
[00:51] <kebomix_> how to add registery key to wine ?
[00:51] <daleharvey> urm ok, my ubuntu (ibex) laptop that has been running fine for quite a few month today, suddently was unable to boot tonight
[00:51] <sileni> YankDownUnder: let me cat my sources.list , and can you please take a look?
[00:52] <happyface_0> kebomix_: run regedit
[00:52] <YankDownUnder> sileni, I'd tend to reckon that the person responsible for packaging it did not upgrade themselves...
[00:52] <Gnea> sileni: there's probably a very good reason why it's not in intrepid...probably because it isn't actively maintained anymore
[00:52] <daleharvey> on boot it enters the initramfs shell
[00:52] <YankDownUnder> sileni, You'll have to pastebin it mate.
[00:52] <Furu> andrei  do u think i can use that program to solve my problem:P?
[00:52] <^hashbang^> kebomix: join #winehq
[00:52] <andrei> i'm loling
[00:52] <galvanize> I have changed my prompt, by ' set prompt='blahblah', and now I want to reset it to original. so I try set prompt again and it changes but when i close the terminal and restart it, it goes back to one i don't want? any help?

[00:52] <rambo298> YankDownUnder: where's the mozilla profile?
[00:53] <sileni> YankDownUnder: http://rafb.net/p/vCpAUp76.html
[00:53] <daleharvey> with a few errors, the main one looking like mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuuid ....... on /root failed
[00:53] <Gnea> galvanize: tcsh?
[00:53] <YankDownUnder> rambo298, In your home dir, most likely it's called ".mozilla"
[00:53] <galvanize> bash
[00:53] <rambo298> i see it but there're several dirs there ... appreg  extensions  firefox  mozver.dat  pluginreg.dat  plugins
[00:54] <YankDownUnder> sileni, Looks good - did you do the "apt-get update" or whatever, to reload the database?
[00:54] <^hashbang^> galvanize: add export PS1=`\u@\h \w > ' to your ~/.bashrc
[00:54] <rambo298> in firefox? there's profiles.ini
[00:54] <Gnea> galvanize: oh, then you're doing it wrong on both fronts. bash doesn't use 'set', it exports the PS1 value. also, you'd need to place it in ~/.bashrc to have any permanent effect
[00:54] <sileni> YankDownUnder: yes, i did
[00:54] <galvanize> ok thanks everyone
[00:54] <rj_> hi all out ther

[00:55] <chris___> any thoughts gents?
[00:55] <YankDownUnder> sileni, It appears as though the package was removed on purpose, though you can still get the packages and manually install them...
[00:55]  * YankDownUnder looks around for gents...finds none, goes back to wheezing

[00:57] <galvanize> is there a way to reset to the original .bashrc if i stupidly didn't make a backup?
[00:57] <Dartel> Help I don't have gnome panels anymore running everything by searchinh hard drive
[00:57] <^hashbang^> libdrm provides core library routines for the X Window System to directly interface with video hardware using the Linux kernel's Direct Rendering Modules
[00:58] <Huufarted> YankDownUnder, nope.  "Direct Rendering Module" which explains why it's needed for some graphics drivers.
[00:58] <YankDownUnder> galvanize, There should be a skeleton of that - so if you search on just "bashrc" you should be able to find it and replace the one you broke...
[00:58] <Huufarted> thanks for the link
[00:58] <Huufarted> and I'm outta here for now.  Off of work for the day.

[01:02] <RandomJohn> It's not that cold.
[01:02] <YankDownUnder> RandomJohn, Mate, when that happens, first I'd check dust on fans/cpu/gpu and etc etc etc...that at least resolves an actual hardware issue. Then I'd test the mem...then I'd start on software
[01:02] <daleharvey> can anyone please give me a hand, my hard drive has seemingly dissapeared from my laptop and theres a bunch of stuff I could really ddo with not losing
[01:03] <^hashbang^> sileni: ah, ok I'm tryin to install the spim terminal version =)

[01:10] <^hashbang^> mzz: so I need to run make -m64
[01:10] <mzz> ^hashbang^: no, not make. I think its configure may have misdetected something.  This'll take a minute.

[01:12] <YankDownUnder> I believe that the French speaking channel is not quite this one...I could be mistaken...
[01:12] <^hashbang^> mzz: lol I know
[01:12] <^hashbang^> mzz: =)
[01:12] <oem> je fais comment ?
[01:12] <quadaptor> exists a command thats extract n bytes from the middle (= a specified position) of a file, like tail/head?  e.g. command -s 35 -b 29  => extract 29 bytes from byte/position 35 (starts at 29. byte)
[01:13] <^hashbang^> mzz: the -m32 is in the Makefile
[01:13] <xoox> quadaptor: Maybe awk. Try #bash.
[01:13] <mzz> ^hashbang^: meh, looks like the Makefile forces that. It's probably easier to fetch 32-bit libraries and headers to build against than to get this to build in 64-bit.
[01:13] <AETE_KRAOUD> i lost a partition of ext3 filesystem because a stupid click in  windows (dual boot) what to do to recover it?
[01:13] <mzz> quadaptor: iirc sed can do that
[01:14]  * mzz looks it up
[01:14] <^hashbang^> mzz: compat libs here I come
[01:14] <AETE_KRAOUD> do you want me to paste to paste bin the fdisk -lu ?

[01:16] <ari_stress> good morning all :)

[01:16] <AETE_KRAOUD> ari_stress, : good morning
[01:16] <mzz> I apparently forgot how to do it with bytes
[01:16] <xoox> quadaptor: You can use head and tail with the --bytes option
[01:16] <Furu> does anyone know a app, that would let me corp 90% of my lcd and let the edge stay black since its damaged and not readable? msg me please if you know one:)
[01:16] <fj1> :) hello
[01:17] <mzz> quadaptor: you can always just chain head and tail, of course
[01:17] <quadaptor> mzz: no, i must define bytes. :-/
[01:17] <xoox> quadaptor: --bytes
[01:17] <AETE_KRAOUD> how can i recover a dissapeared partition in ubuntu ?

[01:17] <Wizzup> zzz
[01:17] <^hashbang^> wb Wizzup
[01:17] <quadaptor> but tail/head returns first OR last bytes, thats right?

[01:18] <Wizzup> (afk)
[01:18] <AETE_KRAOUD> quadaptor,  : yes
[01:18] <quadaptor> or using "head -b 10 | tail -b 5" ... or so :)
[01:18] <mzz> quadaptor: yes, but you can chain them
[01:18] <mzz> quadaptor: yes, that.
[01:19] <quadaptor> mzz: okay, i'll try it... tomorrow. :-)

[01:25] <xoox> I had packages from a wrong distro version in a directory that I had in my sources.list. I did an 'apt-get update' and then noticed I was going to install those packages on upgrade. I removed the line from sources.list, apt-get update; apt-get clean; but the packages are still listed for upgrade (I know they are being pulled from file on my machine through apt-cache policy). What gives? How do I remove references to these packages?
[01:25] <epcom> oooi
[01:25] <SkEmO> mzz:  but im not at my lappy with linux, im on windows
[01:25] <epcom> ?
[01:25] <mzz> SkEmO: iirc synaptic has a way to spit out a list of files to download
[01:25] <wolter> what does the sm-disable option do?
[01:25] <yoyoned> SkEmO: getdeb.net
[01:25] <CNLiberal> i'm aware of those resources, however, I'm still having issues with it
[01:26] <CNLiberal> specifically...when I boot my machine, it shows all 6 drives in /proc/mdstat
[01:26] <CNLiberal> cat /proc/mdstat shows the array as clean
[01:26] <CNLiberal> but a moment later /dev/sde1 drops out
[01:27] <CNLiberal> should I fail that drive then try initiating the array?
[01:27] <alan> is this where i can go to get help with ubuntu setup/
[01:27] <alan> ?

[01:28] <jruss> Hi I have been with ubuntu for a while but I am an IRC noob, so please go easy on me. I am having a bizarre system failure and I have run out of ideas of how to track it down.
[01:28] <jruss> I get a kernel panic at boot
[01:28] <mzz> alan: probably!
[01:28] <mzoer> hello newbie here
[01:29] <alan> i am having trouble installing compiz, hoping for some assistance
[01:29] <letalis> jruss: what was the last major change you made before the panic
[01:29] <Gnea> CNLiberal: not sure, never used it. if I were to start anywhere, it'd be with step #7 here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408461
[01:29] <_DEL> how do i remove gnome desktop environment?
[01:29] <mzoer> anyone able to help me install my wireless adapter?
[01:29] <jruss> well it doesn't happen consistently
[01:29] <jruss> it first happened a few months ago
[01:29] <CNLiberal> Gnea...thanks i'll look
[01:29] <jruss> the panic says that it failed to sync and it could not find init
[01:30] <mzz> alan: what are you trying to do exactly? If you have a regular ubuntu install you probably already have compiz, although it may not be running
[01:30] <jruss> however if my system sits off for a little while then things boot up fine
[01:30] <alan> no, not that simple unfortunately
[01:30] <letalis> jruss: maybe a hardware issue if your system does it intermittantly
[01:30] <mzz> jruss: that sounds like it's not picking up the root filesystem (or probably actually the drive that is on) for some reason
[01:30] <jruss> but after running for any where from minutes to a few days it will hang hard
[01:30] <CNLiberal> i'm gonna try marking the disk as bad
[01:30] <Gnea> jruss: is your CPU or motherboard overheating?
[01:30] <jruss> and then when  I reboot I get the kernel panic
[01:30] <ari_stress> _DEL: you want to use text mode only?
[01:30] <CNLiberal> i hope i don't break this thing
[01:31] <alan> i uninstalled what i had, trying to install a newer version, because i wanted a different alt-tab app switcher
[01:31] <pregier> jruss:  have you tried any hardware diagnostics yet?
[01:31] <jruss> i used lm-sensor to check temps
[01:31] <jruss> MB and CPU were in the 35-40 range
[01:31] <Gnea> jruss: what do they usually report back?
[01:31] <jruss> there wasn't a heave load
[01:31] <alan> and now i cant get the new version working, and i never set up the original version myself, so i dont know what to do for that
[01:31] <Gnea> jruss: celcius?
[01:31] <mzz> jruss: if it breaks intermittently and then stays broken until you leave the system off for a while that definitely sounds like either bad hardware or a loose cable to me
[01:31] <pregier> jruss:  smartctl -a /dev/sdX might be worth checking out
[01:31] <jruss> yes C
[01:31] <_DEL> ari_stress I have kde installed
[01:32] <mzz> jruss: what pregier said is an excellent idea
[01:32] <mzoer> can anyone help with a wireless installation question?
[01:32] <mzz> jruss: I'd also physically replug the relevant (hd) cables
[01:32] <jruss> I checked out smartctl on my disks and they all passed
[01:32] <mzz> mzoer: just ask the question (I probably can't answer but someone else might)
[01:32] <jruss> I unhooked all disk but the boot disk and I still get the kernel panic
[01:32] <mzz> jruss: I'd need a few more lines from the failing kernel to confirm it's not finding the hd
[01:33] <jruss> I also ran e2fsck on the boot drive with the -c option to check badblocks and it passed
[01:33] <mzz> jruss: (perhaps take a picture of the screen and upload that somewhere)
[01:33] <ari_stress> _DEL: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop, but i'm not sure whether it will break your ubuntu or not
[01:33] <jruss> give me a minute and I will get you the actual message when it fails
[01:33] <mzz> jruss: if it's just the filesystem that's bad I'd expect it to fail differently (no intermittent boot failure and no hard hang, "just" a forced remount readonly)
[01:33] <jruss> it is short
[01:34] <AETE_KRAOUD> I am dual booting windows and ubuntu  and i had two partitions ntfs and three ext3 and swap for linux . so before 3 days i used mkfs.ext3 and maked the ntfs to an ext3 partition and everything was fine.... but yesterday i booted on windows and i shaw that the ntfs D:/ ICON was still there ... sto i deleted because i thought it was not useful but as long as i booted linux the ext3 has been also vanished and i can't find anywhere . i
[01:34] <AETE_KRAOUD> type fdisk -lu  and it becomes clear that windows has maked the new ext3 partition  .. just free space . The bad thing is tha had some data in there and i want to  know if there is a posibiliity to recover the partition somehow . Ithink that it must be possible because i hevent formated it i have just hit delete from windows but windows was showing an empty device so windows was just searching for the old ntfs partition and insteed
[01:34] <mzoer> When I boot Ubuntu, there are no lights on my Microsoft wireless aapter, how do I install it?
[01:34] <AETE_KRAOUD> it found nothing . So how to recover my ext3 deleted by the windows partition ?
[01:34] <mzz> heh
[01:34] <x_O> hey anyone try watching hulu.com videos on ubuntu lately?
[01:34] <x_O> abc has blocked linux
[01:34] <x_O> anyone know of a way to get it to work again?
[01:34] <_DEL> ari_stress, i guess we will find out.lol.
[01:34] <x_O> tried safari and firefox in wine with flash
[01:34] <jrib> x_O: ask abc?
[01:34] <x_O> no thats what im here
[01:34] <x_O> they wont do anything
[01:34] <_DEL> ari_stress, tnx
[01:34] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: I've done (roughly) that and gotten my data back by repartitioning (using fdisk) to the *exact* same layout
[01:35] <wolter> hey kinja-sheep, whats up? its just me, bothering you again
[01:35] <jrib> x_O: if they don't know they have customers who want linux support then they definitely won't do anything, yes
[01:35] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz :yes ok but the right /dev/sda5 is substituted by the home partition
[01:35] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: so if you simply create another partition in the empty space (and make very sure you do not format it) you may be able to mount it again just fine
[01:36] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: the partition numbers don't matter
[01:36] <jruss> Here is the message when it fails to boot:
[01:36] <jruss> Starting up...
[01:36] <jruss> [   2.464672] Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try Passing init= option to kernel
[01:36] <Jufis> is there good drivers for logitech vx nano mouse to make the extra buttons work?
[01:36] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: (although you may have to fix up fstab to put the right partition in the right place, of course)
[01:36] <x_O> yea one person is going to make a difference
[01:36] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: hmmm so you mean the command mkfs.ext3 ?
[01:36] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: no!
[01:36] <x_O> looking for a workaround not a suggestion to email abc lol
[01:36] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: do *not* run anything with "mkfs" in it. You do not want to make a filesystem, you already have one
[01:36] <alan> i had compiz 0.7.4, tried to get 0.7.8 - that is not in my package manager so i tried to download and compile source from compiz-fusion.org, but a script was missing from the archive
[01:37] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: you'd just run fdisk (or possibly something fancier, like gparted) to create a new partition, making sure it is *not* formatted (left uninitialized)
[01:37] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz : yes ok so what do i have to type to make it live again ?
[01:37] <alan> i tried following instructions on ubuntu.com, and it installed, but just freezes my computer immediately when i run
[01:37] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: I'm not sure if you can do this through gparted. If you can that'd probably be easiest.
[01:37] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz : you mean i have to count which is the empty space?
[01:37] <pregier> jruss:  do you have any lines from before your panic?
[01:37] <wolter> kinja-sheep, you not there?
[01:37] <jruss> there are no lines
[01:37] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: if there is no other free space and all space was used before using fdisk for this is probably pretty easy too (if you don't mind a text-based interface)
[01:37] <wolter> i need help with suspend, i can't wake it up after suspending.
[01:38] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: yes gparted is easy  but does not support ext3 only ext2
[01:38] <jruss> that is all the comes up after grub
[01:38] <lacita> need to know what wireless driver i m running? Any ideas?
[01:38] <j03lar50n> how come ifconfig doesn't tell me 'DNS Servers' and 'Search Domains'? i need to populate those fields to edit my Manual IPv4 settings of my Static Wired Connection
[01:38] <wolter> i pressed both keys and mouse buttons.
[01:38] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: it doesn't matter. You do *not* need this utility to do anything with filesystems. *just* with raw partitions.
[01:38] <Crazytom> I'm using intrepid and trying a get a wordpress install going but it says it's can't load the mysql extention.  I'm on my 5th hour of this and slightly frustrated.  can someone give me a hand?  Thanks in advance
[01:38] <mzoer> anyone here ever install any new hardware that wasn't plug and play?
[01:38] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: I'm not sure gparted lets you do this (create a partition without initializing (formatting) it)
[01:38] <jruss> I am fairly certain that some hardware is going bad I just don't know what hardware it could be or how to narrow it down
[01:38] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: me too :-)
[01:38] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: do you want to try doing this with fdisk?
[01:38] <pregier> jruss:  once you get it panicking, is it a sure thing?  if so, you can get hacky information about the root partition from grub
[01:38] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz : yes
[01:39] <jruss> pregier
[01:39] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz :can you give a small example ?
[01:39] <jruss> how do I get more info
[01:39] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: ok. Do you happen to have a hard disk around with at least as much free space as the entire affected drive's size?
[01:39] <mustangg> hey the chan.  I'm trying to find out from where does the installer (alt iso) get the hostname to populate the field for that part of the installation.
[01:39] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: yes an external hdd
[01:39] <jruss> it will always boot up if I let it sit off for a while
[01:39] <jrib> x_O: the workaround is to install windows in a vm or whatever.  I'm serious about letting hulu.com know about linux support
[01:40] <jruss> then after I use it for a while it will freeze, no keyboard, mouse, ssh
[01:40] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz : the wd 320 GB :-) in ntfs .
[01:40] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: you could copy the entire raw hd image to that. That way you can't lose any data if you make a mistake using fdisk. That'll take a while though.
[01:40] <jruss> and it will kernel panic at boot
[01:40] <pregier> jruss:  if you can get to a grub prompt, try looking around your your partition with something like "cat (hd0,X)/<TAB><TAB>" to see if it can actually list files on that partition
[01:40] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: thanks nice idea
[01:40] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz : i will keep the important data at least :-)
[01:40] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: (personally I wouldn't bother, but the data on this system isn't *that* valuable, so...)
[01:41] <pregier> jruss:  if you can't even list files then you've narrowed it down pretty close to your hard drive
[01:41] <jruss> pregier: I have it booted now because it has been off
[01:41] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: I meant boot from a livecd and dd the entire raw disk image over. That way you can re-attempt the recovery if it fails.
[01:41] <jruss> what should I look at at
[01:41] <pregier> jruss:  if it's working fine,  look closer at "smartctl -a /dev/sdX"
[01:41] <lacita> need to know what wireless driver i m running? Any ideas?
[01:41] <mzz> lacita: dmesg usually has that information
[01:41] <jruss> I have run e2fsck and badblocks on the boot and root partitions and everything passed
[01:41] <mzz> lacita: (that's a command to run, try "dmesg|less")
[01:41] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: dd is that a tool that i need ?
[01:42] <lacita> mzz: thanks
[01:42] <pregier> jruss:  that's your filesystem; mzz mentioned if it was the contents of the filesystem you'd get different errors
[01:42] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: i think tha writes raw data 0101010 on the drive?
[01:42] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: if you want to do this backup that's a tool you can use (although I've used simply "cat" or "cp" to do the same thing with no obvious ill effect)
[01:42] <rapidsecretions> My cd drive is no longer recognized at all and my block device scd0 is gone...How do I get it back?
[01:42] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: it can copy raw data to and from drives and files.
[01:42] <bartek_> i need help with remote control
[01:42] <pregier> jruss:  we're worried now about the hard drive itself cutting out intermittently, which wouldn't show in the filesystem contents
[01:42] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz:  aha it is a raw cat so :-)
[01:43] <Crazytom> does anyone know about mysql in ubuntu?
[01:43] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: thankz!!!!!!!!
[01:43] <lacita> mzz: omg so much information!!!
[01:43] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: thanks a lot for the infos
[01:43] <jruss> what do you mean the hard drive cutting out?
[01:43] <jruss> what other test can I run on it? It passed smartctl, fsck, and badblocks
[01:44] <pregier> jruss:  sometimes a hard drive will just stop responding; when this happens, there is no immediate corruption of the filesystem except for an unclean dismount
[01:44] <ubuntuphr3k> I've graced this channel with my presence.
[01:44] <georgy_28> Crazytom, : what is the problem ?
[01:44] <ubuntuphr3k> :)
[01:44] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: I'd need your "fdisk -l /dev/sd_whatever_your_drive_is" output to tell you what to type into fdisk to (hopefully) recover the partition
[01:44] <pregier> jruss:  smartctl shows a lot of information beyond simple pass/fail
[01:44] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: ok one minute
[01:44] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: do you want to paste it to paste bin ?
[01:44] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: yes please
[01:45] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: ok
[01:45] <Crazytom> georgy_28, I get this error
[01:45] <jruss> if I run smartctl -t what would be the pertenent info?
[01:45] <Crazytom> georgy_28, Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.
[01:45] <pregier> jruss:  smartctl -t just initiates a test.  I said smartctl -a
[01:45] <bernz> Crazytom, mysql can be installed in ubuntu (command is probably 'sudo apt-get install mysql'), and then it can be used by web app frameworks and anything else you like, so yes :-)
[01:45] <Crazytom> georgy_28, and this one Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration
[01:45] <georgy_28> Crazytom, : try to install php5-mysql
[01:46] <pregier> jruss:  you want to look at the raw smart attributes table as well as any isolated failures logged
[01:46] <CNLiberal> i think i have the drive added back, but jfs_fsck is having issues.  The array isn't started, so I'm gonna reboot
[01:46] <Crazytom> georgy_28, i've reinstalled it twice
[01:46] <pregier> jruss:  neither of these has anything to do with selftests, i.e. smartctl -t
[01:46] <kindofabuzz> how would i change gnome-terminal to start up in ~/Desktop instead of just ~?
[01:46] <mzz> jruss: there's a passed/not passed summary near the top iirc, but looking at the individual values can be interesting too
[01:47] <mustangg> any possibilities for why a fresh install seems to know my previous hostname? I've thoroughly dd'd the drives which were involved.
[01:47] <georgy_28> Crazytom, : oh !!
[01:47] <jruss> what is the command to get the info I need for this drive?
[01:47] <alan> anyone can help with getting compiz to run without freezing??
[01:47] <mzz> kindofabuzz: mmm, if gnome-terminal sets TERM to something recognizable (not just "xterm") you could do that in your bashrc
[01:47] <computer_> anyone have experience with festival?
[01:47] <Crazytom> georgy_28, was that a good oh?
[01:47] <kindofabuzz> mzz, so check .bashrc?
[01:47] <pepperjack> alan: id check your driver. if using nvidia install the nvidia-glx driver
[01:48] <mzz> kindofabuzz: not so much "check" as "add some code" :)
[01:48] <_DEL> ari_stress, do you know how to reinstall?
[01:48] <atom^x> Crazytom, have you installed mysql? and is it running?
[01:48] <kindofabuzz> mzz, k thanks, i'll experiment =)
[01:48] <wolter> kinja-sheep!!!!!
[01:48] <mzz> kindofabuzz: (something like "[[ $TERM = gnome-terminal ]] && cd ~/Desktop")
[01:48] <alan> pepperjack: pretty sure i installed that first thing after ubuntu
[01:49] <pepperjack> alan: grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:49] <georgy_28> Crazytom, :http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress maybe this will help you :
[01:49] <mzz> oh hey, I have gnome-terminal
[01:49] <Crazytom> atom^x, it's been installed but i'm not totally sure it's running
[01:49] <mzz> kindofabuzz: drat, my gnome-terminal sets TERM=xterm. Yours may differ though (this isn't ubuntu)
[01:49] <mzz> kindofabuzz: ah, try with COLORTERM instead of TERM
[01:49] <cxvxb> root, are you using irc as sudo?
[01:49] <UncleGemc> when I kill X it just restarts and prompts login how do I keep it dead?
[01:50] <alan> pepperjack: "mouse" "kbd" "nvidia" "nvidia"
[01:50] <kindofabuzz> k
[01:50] <mzz> UncleGemc: you need to stop gdm. That's probably close to "/etc/init.d/gdm stop", but not quite that
[01:50] <Kryzler> ubuntu uses bash by default yeah?
[01:50]  * mzz waits for someone to correct him
[01:50] <mzz> Kryzler: not for /bin/sh
[01:50] <Pici> mzz: Thats actually correct.
[01:50] <UncleGemc> ok, ty I will lok at it
[01:50] <UncleGemc> look*
[01:50] <mzz> yay, lucky guess
[01:50] <bernz> mzz, what about switching to a text session (ctrl-alt-f1)
[01:50] <Dr_Willis> Kryzler,  bash is the default  USER shell.. sh (dash) is the default system shell
[01:51] <mzz> Kryzler: is the default login shell though iirc
[01:51] <atom^x> Crazytom, search for lamp install guide...
[01:51] <bernz> mzz, (assuming the point is to get to a non-X shell of some sort)
[01:51] <Kryzler> cool
[01:51] <pepperjack> alan: gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log  see if you see any errors around the time it freezes etc not sure
[01:51] <mzz> bernz: oh, good point.
[01:51] <Crazytom> this one? htps://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[01:51] <cxvxb> Listen up: If you're using the mplayer that Ubuntu comes with, rather than compiling the latest version of mplayer, you are missing out on 3 years of development. the mplayer that comes with ubuntu is 3 YEARS old. There's a ton of more codecs and formats that are supported.
[01:51] <mzz> UncleGemc: if what you're actually trying to do is get a non-X shell just do what bernz said
[01:51] <Droopsta915> Whats a good application to extract .rar files?
[01:51] <atom^x> Crazytom, ubutto has a link I am sure.
[01:51] <mzz> UncleGemc: and it's probably cleaner to run the /etc/init.d/gdm stop from there than to do it from inside a running X session.
[01:52] <bernz> mzz, but your suggestion is more "effective"
[01:52] <Gnea> !sudo
[01:52] <atom^x> !lamp
[01:52] <mzz> bernz: well, it depends on what he's actually trying to do (get to a non-X terminal or stop X)
[01:52] <UncleGemc> well, you see im on windows right now with xming and I don't really need x on the linux box running right?
[01:53] <bernz> UncleGemc, right, X is only for humans (to see what's going on)
[01:53] <kindofabuzz> mzz, it was easier than i thought, just ad cd /home/<user>/Desktop to the end of .bashrc
[01:53] <mzz> UncleGemc: probably not. May want to stop it from restarting when the system reboots if this system is (normally) only used remotely.
[01:53] <Dr_Willis> UncleGemc,   You dont need  x Running.. but you may want to keep X and the apps installed..
[01:53] <mzz> kindofabuzz: that'll always do it, not just for gnome-terminal.
[01:53] <Dr_Willis> I use xming all the time. :) its handy
[01:53] <alan> pepperjack: its been a few days since i last attempted to run compiz - i guess ill need to run it again, let it freeze, then check the .log?
[01:53] <UncleGemc> I want to keep it installed I just dont need it ran locally
[01:53] <Crazytom> atom^x, that's what I was following
[01:53] <bernz> kindofabuzz, there's also a ".profile" (i think a very ancient tradition, but i could be wrong about that), which most shells respect
[01:53] <pepperjack> alan: maybe id cp the log after that and check ubuntu forums for similar problems.
[01:54] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: here you are http://pastebin.com/m6e15c80d
[01:54] <_DEL> does anyone know how to reinstall gnome?
[01:54] <pregier> ... so i've been having a heck of a time switching inputs on my hauppauge pvr-250 under intrepid; v4l2-ctl is supposed to do this now instead of ivtvctl, but no luck here.  Has anyone else seen this?
[01:54] <bernz> (and into which you could put "last minute hacks" for login)
[01:54] <redvamp128> _DEL:  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[01:54] <AETE_KRAOUD> _DEL, : yes install kde and then install gnome again :-)
[01:54] <jruss> I don't recall seeing any errors reported when I ran the smartctl test
[01:54] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: oh, great, you actually know the old layout
[01:54] <jruss> but now the system has hung
[01:54] <mustangg> is there any good docs/faq on how to do a fresh install with raid0 (for LVM), during setup but before selecting to use LVM reconfigures things on its own..?
[01:54] <jruss> and I won't be able to run it again
[01:54] <AETE_KRAOUD> _DEL, : or do it from the coomand line :-)
[01:55] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz : ofcourse :-)
[01:55] <redvamp128> AETE_KRAOUD:  why does he have to install KDE-- why not just XFCE-- Xubuntu
[01:55] <alan> pepperjack: thanks, i had no idea where to look, this is a starting point at least
[01:55] <timbojimbo> yo.. any one with amarok?
[01:55] <redvamp128> AETE_KRAOUD:  Much smaller footprint than KDE
[01:55] <mzz> mustangg: this is not the best solution, but what you could do is just use any livecd to set up lvm/raid/etc the way you like it, then run the installer
[01:55] <AETE_KRAOUD> redvamp128,  : no KDE is actually better and faster
[01:55] <Dante123> hi all, installed gnomeppp and what I thought was the latest Conexant driver (deb file) on friends Dell Inspiron 1501 for modem (version has same kernel number as the Ubuntu 8.10 he is running).  However, there is no modem detected on the system.  Is there some command I have to run or something to get the modem detected?  Modprobe? or some config command?
[01:55] <AETE_KRAOUD> redspike,  : KDE rocks
[01:55] <carpii> i have a web server and want to mount my new 2nd drive to hold two different directories. Can I do this via mount, or should I just use symlinks from drive 1 to drive 2?
[01:55] <mzz> mustangg: iirc it'll let you use the lvm lvs that already exist
[01:56] <_DEL> thanks AETE_KRAOUD, redvamp128
[01:56] <redvamp128> AETE_KRAOUD:  actually My KDE takes about 1min 42 seconds to load and takes up more room on the drive than my XFCE (which takes 46 seconds to load)
[01:56] <_DEL> its installing from command
[01:56] <timbojimbo> AETE_KRAOUD: I have heard alot about KDE but as of now i still like gnome better man
[01:56] <kindofabuzz> woohoo Lenny this weekend! =)
[01:56] <AETE_KRAOUD> redvamp128, : i use KDE in my laptop
[01:56] <redvamp128> AETE_KRAOUD:  my gnome actually takes 52 seconds to load
[01:56] <AETE_KRAOUD> redvamp128,  : and it is faster than ecerything !!!!!!!1
[01:57] <timbojimbo> AETE_KRAOUD:  i have also used kde, don't really like it
[01:57] <mustangg> mzz: been trying that but am having difficulty making things stick. Dunno if it's fakeraid related or not at this poiint but...
[01:57] <redvamp128> AETE_KRAOUD:  though 36 seconds to load my LXDE
[01:57] <Dr_Willis> Tiny Core Linux Takes about 15 seconds to BOOT to X :) so phhht. :P
[01:57] <AETE_KRAOUD> redvamp128, : The nautilus sucks
[01:57] <timbojimbo> agreed
[01:57] <Droopsta915> !.rar
[01:57] <georgy_28> though 22 second to load E17
[01:57] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: ok, so there's just a gap at the start of the extended partition. If you tell fdisk to create a new logical partition and use all available space for it you should end up with the same layout (just possibly with the numbers switched). You can print and compare before writing, so this is quite safe.
[01:57] <AETE_KRAOUD> redvamp128, : nautilus makes 1 minute to show me the folder in  /usr/bin !!!!! what do you say abou that?
[01:57] <Mal3ko> guys..how do i check what are services running?
[01:57] <j03lar50n> how do i determine what to put in for my 'network' value when editing my /etc/network/interfaces file - trying to setup a static connection to a server
[01:57] <Mal3ko> cmd line
[01:57] <usser> pfft my gentoo takes 15 sec
[01:57] <atom^x> Crazytom, what step were you at?
[01:58] <timbojimbo> yo.. any one with amarok?
[01:58] <bernz> carpii, you should mount the second drive onto your main file system
[01:58] <mzz> mustangg: I did a hardy install into a pv I set aside from a different distro earlier iirc and that worked just fine. No raid involved though.
[01:58] <CNLiberal> if anyone is curious...i fixed my array issue...
[01:58] <usser> j03lar50n, netmask you mean?
[01:58] <CNLiberal> i've said it once, i've said it a 100 times...
[01:58] <redvamp128> AETE_KRAOUD:  though what beats that is Puppy Linux 23 seconds (PIII 933mhz with 256mb of memory and a Geforce4 MX4000)
[01:58] <CNLiberal> mdadm is the bee's knees
[01:58] <CNLiberal> that cat's meow
[01:58] <carpii> bernz, its difficult because i want the new drive to hold /var/log but also to hold /var/html/userimages
[01:58] <Dante123> hi all, installed gnomeppp and what I thought was the latest Conexant driver (deb file) on friends Dell Inspiron 1501 for modem (version has same kernel number as the Ubuntu 8.10 he is running).  However, there is no modem detected on the system.  Is there some command I have to run or something to get the modem detected?  Modprobe? or some config command?
[01:58] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz:ok nice but how i create a partition from scratch for example /dev/sda6 or sda7?
[01:58] <CNLiberal> the /dev/sde1 disk was removed from the array already
[01:58] <carpii> bernz, and I dont really want to mount the whole of /var
[01:58] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: I can walk you through fdisk if you're having trouble, but it's pretty straightforward if you're comfortable with commandline apps in general.
[01:59] <j03lar50n> no, usser in my .../interfaces file there's a network value that i need to fill
[01:59] <UncleGemc> ok i still dont know how to kill X though
[01:59] <CNLiberal> i just started the array in degraded mode
[01:59] <CNLiberal> ran jfs_fsck on it
[01:59] <CNLiberal> mounted it
[01:59] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: ok i just need an example so :-)
[01:59] <CNLiberal> and then readded the failed drive
[01:59] <CNLiberal> and it started an auto-repair
[01:59] <UncleGemc> it's at the login screen but how do I kill it and keep it killed?
[01:59] <j03lar50n> maybe i don't need it usser
[01:59] <_DEL> is there a way for me to set a remote login for this computer to do work from another location? its not a server edition
[01:59] <Dr_Willis> UncleGemc,  stop the GDM or KDM service
[01:59] <pepperjack> UncleGemc: alt-crtl-f2 then login then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[02:00] <usser> j03lar50n, thats all you need for most setups http://pastebin.com/m14063e1c
[02:00] <UncleGemc> I tried
[02:00] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: anyway i will try it out Thanks again
[02:00] <UncleGemc> gdm stop didnt work :(
[02:00] <bernz> carpii, okay, in that case, it's a hybrid: mount the drive in a general way, then use symlinks to point to subdirs on the mounted volume
[02:00] <lacita> mzz: I found this:
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> UncleGemc,  then you did it wrong

[02:01] <carpii> lacita, can you stop pasting please
[02:01] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: hang on, it won't let me create a new partition without free space, working around that...
[02:01] <redvamp128> !pastebin | lacita:
[02:01] <AETE_KRAOUD> wikkedfin, : it conncects depend on the card!!!
[02:01] <bernz> UncleGemc, try 'which gdm', and it'll tell you where the gdm program lives (or if it's missing!)
[02:02] <wikkedfin> well my card is B/G/N
[02:02] <UncleGemc> its in there
[02:02] <Imaginativeone> anyone familiar with the roku device?
[02:02] <bernz> UncleGemc, (it's not guaranteed to work, but it can help you see if it's easily reachable)
[02:02] <lacita> mzcarpiiz, redvamp128: that was an accident. I meant to paste one line. Sorry for the error.
[02:02] <UncleGemc> now I have a black screen on my linux box
[02:02] <wikkedfin> and all the AP's are B or G but they connect B
[02:02] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz :please watch out your partitions i just needed a trivial example
[02:02] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: sudo fdisk /dev/sd_your_drive, "n", "l", accept the defaults for first and last cylinder, "p", compare to your saved layout. The start and end offsets should match, although the order probably won't.
[02:02] <wikkedfin> I have an Ath9k
[02:02] <UncleGemc> but no X or login prompt
[02:02] <redvamp128> lacita:  I was just informing you of that service- instead of us getting like 5 lines of text all at once.
[02:02] <bernz> carpii, it's minimal... parsing through mount points is a pretty low-level thing and thus optimized as necessary (at least reasonably so)
[02:02] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: I just created a file full of zeroes and ran fdisk on that [had to tell it the numbers of cylinders for that "drive" but apart from that it accepted it :) ]
[02:03] <carpii> ok thanks bernz
[02:03] <lacita> mzz: I was hoping for something like "madwifi-ng" or "R8187", etc.
[02:03] <mzz> lacita: iwl3945 it is then
[02:03] <bernz> carpii, no worries, good luck
[02:03] <mzz> lacita: (can probably confirm that by running "lsmod" and checking if the module is used)
[02:03] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: hehe Nice :-)
[02:03] <UncleGemc> from tty2 I ran gdm stop and it apparently did something but I still have login at tty7
[02:03] <UncleGemc> x # tty7
[02:03] <lacita> redvamp128: I know about pastebin, I just dumped the wrong copy here
[02:04] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: so fdisc doesn't need me to provide any info except the numbers of cylinders ?
[02:04] <mzz> UncleGemc: log out there, you probably won't get the login screen back
[02:04] <redvamp128> _DEL:  any luck getting gnome back?
[02:04] <mustangg_> mzz: I keep thinking that fakeraid left garbage on my drives because a fresh install finds the previous hostname; but-
[02:04] <UncleGemc> ok
[02:04] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: you can just accept the defaults (there should only be one "hole", it'll use all of it by default)
[02:05] <lacita> mzz: looks right: iwlwifi_mac80211      218980  1 iwl3945
[02:05] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz :sounds pretty dtraight forwarding OK :-)
[02:05] <lacita> mzz: but I also see this: iwl3945                89844  0
[02:05] <mzz> lacita: that's actually iwl3945 using a more basic module, but that still confirms iwl3945 is loaded :)
[02:05] <UncleGemc> mzz: nope it just started back up
[02:05] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz : i am going to try it now
[02:05] <mzz> lacita: I don't know how normal the "0" there is (pretty normal if the interface is currently disabled)
[02:06] <mzz> UncleGemc: I don't know what's up with that, sorry
[02:06] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz :sorry about my bad english and the mistakes :-) i do my best
[02:06] <lacita> mzz: enabled, but not active at the moment
[02:06] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: don't worry about it, I've seen *much* worse
[02:06] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: besides english is not my first language :-)
[02:06] <UncleGemc> no biggy
[02:06] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz : i understand :-)
[02:06] <Crayboff> alright, question. what is the difference between the different kernels when starting up ubuntu? like "kernel 2.6.27-11-generic" and "kernel 2.6.27-9-generic"?
[02:06] <mzz> Crayboff: the lower ones are older
[02:07] <mzz> Crayboff: (for some reason old kernels don't seem to be uninstalled by default when you get upgrades)
[02:07]  * mzz isn't sure what the best way to do some spring cleaning in that area is
[02:07] <UncleGemc> mzz: ill figure it out.
[02:07] <usser> Crayboff, the one with higher minor version is more recent, has security updates, patches etc
[02:07] <kindofabuzz> I installed python 3 from source, but i've decided to start with 2.5. Now when I start idle it loads using 3 instead of 2.5, how can i fix that? yes i know there is an idle 2.5 in the repos but i want the regular idle to point to 2.5
[02:07] <usser> Crayboff, sorry
[02:07] <pluma>  GParted is set to round to cylinders by default. Is this really necessary for Vista + Ubuntu 8.10? The manual only says this is necessary for "old OSes"
[02:07] <Royall> My built-in microphone's volume control (in Volume Control, HDA Intel Also mixer) always changed whenever I close the window. How can I stop it from automatically changing?
[02:07] <usser> mzz, the one with higher minor version is more recent, has security updates, patches etc
[02:07] <bullgard4> What is an 'Internet file' as used in 'man lsof'?
[02:07] <mzz> kindofabuzz: I'd expect idle to be a symlink to the actual idle you want to use
[02:07] <Royall> er, Alsa mixer*
[02:08] <usser> mzz, old kernels are not uninstalled because users might want to revert back if the updates dont work
[02:08] <kindofabuzz> mzz, yeah that's what i'm thinking to. any clues?
[02:08] <rapidsecretions> My cd drive is no longer recognized at all and my block device scd0 is gone...How do I get it back?
[02:08] <mzz> usser: that's a good point, but a way to keep only the most recent 3 or so kernels might be nice
[02:08] <skyde> hello i need help installing ubuntu on a server wich dont have any cd-rom drive
[02:08] <Royall> rapidsecretions: look in the BIOS and see if the module bay is disabled, that's what happened to me
[02:08] <mzz> usser: (I know you can just uninstall the old ones manually, but if you don't do that you end up with dozens of kernels eventually, which is a bit inconvenient if /boot/ is on a separate partition)
[02:08] <pepperjack> skyde: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation  for options
[02:08] <usser> mzz, yes i agree, i think newer versions of ubuntu will do just that, keeping the last recent working kernel when you upgrade
[02:09] <Crayboff> alright well the -11-generic is the default. whenever I turn on the computer, it says that there is a softreset failure and something about not being able to "enumerate" the USB or something like that. also when I turn off the computer, it says things like "HALT NOW" or something like that
[02:09] <bullgard4> rapidsecretions: 'is gone' is no exact description.
[02:09] <mzz> usser: relevant to me because my root partition is on lvm and /boot/ is a bit small in hindsight
[02:09] <Crayboff> why is that and how do i fix it?
[02:09] <alchemist1> I just installed Globalmenu and when I try to put it on the panel it tells me to enable the plugin in properties under the right click menu.  The panel properties are no help and the globalmenu properties is just a blank window.  This makes no sense to me.
[02:10] <mzz> Crayboff: so it does still boot? If yes can you pastebin the output of the command "dmesg"?
[02:10] <Royall> Crayboff: heyyyy
[02:10] <Crayboff> mzz, it does and I will in a sec
[02:10] <muzikjock58_> this might be stupid question. but what does "-H" flag tell sudo to do in ubuntu?
[02:10] <mzz> also, anyone here who has had nautilus sometimes stop drawing desktop icons?
[02:11] <koshari> how can i mount a drive by label?
[02:11] <mzz> muzikjock58_: set $HOME to /root, I think
[02:11] <letalis> muzikjock58: try man sudo at the cli
[02:11] <mzz> muzikjock58_: (or rather the manpage thinks :P)
[02:11] <badfish69> !make
[02:11]  * cosmo_ gives badfish69<EMAIL_ADDRESS>PRIVMSG #ubuntu :+!make,  and  - what can you make of them?
[02:11] <lacita> mzz: Oh, wait, an there's this too: cfg80211               15112  1 iwlwifi_mac80211
[02:11] <lacita> Is this normal?
[02:12] <Droopsta915> I installed unrar-free, but it won't extract my .rar file?
[02:12] <mzz> lacita: almost certainly yes
[02:12] <Crayboff> mzz, umm it is so long that the terminal's memory doesn't retain all of the data, in that i can't scroll up all the way
[02:12] <jrib> Droopsta915: install unrar
[02:12] <mzz> lacita: (some components are shared by a couple of network drivers, this is one of them)
[02:12] <jrib> !unrar > Droopsta915
[02:12] <muzikjock58_> thank you . i'll check it out.
[02:12] <kindofabuzz> mzz, figured it out, just edit /usr/local/bin/idle to point to /usr/bin/python2.5
[02:12] <muzikjock58_> im having problems with seamonkey
[02:12] <mzz> Crayboff: "dmesg > ~/dmesg" and find the file in your homedir, or "dmesg|pastebinit" (you will probably have to install pastebinit)
[02:13] <lacita> mzz: could I replace my wireless driver with madwifi?
[02:13] <mzz> kindofabuzz: or toast that symlink (you probably have a second one in /usr/bin)
[02:13] <mzz> lacita: I have no idea, sorry
[02:13] <Droopsta915> jrib: Thanks, it worked
[02:13] <mzz> lacita: (I don't really have a laptop, so I know very little about wireless)
[02:13] <lacita> mzz, thanks anyway
[02:13] <Royall> I've used "alsactl store" to save the levels, but all my mics (Mux, Capture, Digital) mute when I close the Alsa mixer window. Is there any way to stop this?
[02:13] <soreau> lacita: Which card?
[02:13] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: ok i typed n to the interactive fdisc
[02:13] <muzikjock58_> it crashes flash content in the browser. but works when i run from command line in root. when i ran seamonkey as sudo seamonkey, it said that it was probably better to run "sudo -H seamonkey" . i didnt know what the did.
[02:14] <underworld> hellooooo
[02:14] <underworld> I'mnew in this
[02:14] <mzz> muzikjock58_: running seamonkey as root is not sane. Stop doing it :P
[02:14] <lacita> underworld: ask a question
[02:14] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: i chosed the inbetween values of cylindres (guided)
[02:14] <mzz> muzikjock58_: try running it as yourself but using a fresh profile ("seamonkey -P -no-remote" should give you the profile manager)?
[02:14] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz :shall i type w to write the partition ?
[02:14] <redvamp128> muzikjock58_:  which version of sea monkey and what version of Flash? (I think if it works like mozilla -- about:(no space)plugins
[02:15] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: not yet. Hit "p" and confirm the numbers match what you have logged.
[02:15] <bullgard4> muzikjock58_: 'man sudo' tells me that the switch -H sets the environment variable to the homedir of the target user.
[02:15] <redvamp128> muzikjock58_: about:plugins
[02:15] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: ok
[02:15] <bullgard4> muzikjock58_: 'man sudo' tells me that the switch -H sets the environment variable HOME to the homedir of the target user.
[02:15] <Crayboff> mzz: http://pastebin.com/f1f49bcb6
[02:15] <mzz> muzikjock58_: likely cause is something specific to your profile, like an extension, being involved
[02:16] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz: they match :-)
[02:16] <redvamp128> muzikjock58_:  though you could try the normal run of the program from command line with the -profilemanger
[02:16] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: then you can probably write. I'd e2fsck the new partition to confirm things are sane though.
[02:16] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: (and remember this may still have the order of the partitions changed)
[02:16] <JesperHansen> mzz: didn't see you hanging out here
[02:16] <mzz> AETE_KRAOUD: (well, you can see in the printout)
[02:16] <_DEL> redvamp128, It just finished installing
[02:17] <AETE_KRAOUD> mzz:  hmmm NICE i will see anyway thanks again :-)
[02:17] <mzz> JesperHansen: heh, I usually don't, it's not like I use ubuntu. My mother has an ubuntu install, I was hoping someone could help out with that. So far no luck with that.
[02:17] <linxuz3r> hi
[02:17] <redvamp128> _DEL:  you could try typing gnome-session and it should take you there
[02:17] <linxuz3r> hi
[02:17] <soreau> mzz: lol, what's the problem?
[02:17] <linxuz3r> how do i keep kde from not messing up my gnome settings ?
[02:17] <JesperHansen> mzz: whats the fuss about?
[02:18] <mzz> soreau: nautilus sometimes decides not to draw desktop icons (or the desktop context menu). It usually works fine when I'm in the vicinity, making this a bit hard to debug.
[02:18] <soreau> mzz: Intermittent and you don't know the specifics?
[02:18] <ashlessburn> mzz update the apt first make sure u are running the most recent version
[02:19] <Crayboff> mzz: pastebin of dmesg - http://pastebin.com/f1f49bcb6
[02:19] <soreau> mzz: Do you know if she's messing with gconf or if nautilus might be crashing?
[02:19] <soreau> mzz: (I suspect she is a humble user)
[02:19] <JesperHansen> mzz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=653305 is this you?
[02:19] <mzz> soreau: I know nautilus is running just fine (I can open normal folder windows just fine), there's nothing alarming in ~/.xsession-errors, and toggling the pref for nautilus drawing the background off and back on fixed it once.
[02:19] <_DEL> redvamp128, im waiting for virtual XP to finish updating then i am going to
[02:20] <mzz> ashlessburn: this is an up-to-date hardy install. Guess I could upgrade her to intrepid, but I don't want to change the system too much if I can help it
[02:20] <wolter> hi
[02:20] <mzz> (the "she is a humble user" guess is correct)
[02:20] <wolter> i need to be able to suspend my computer and wake it up!!
[02:20] <wolter> why is this not fixed yet??
[02:20] <JesperHansen> mzz: question to that: Is right click possible on the desktop?
[02:20] <mzz> soreau: she wouldn't touch gconf directly. I didn't see anything obviously fatal in ~/.xsession-errors. I have that file stored somewhere, lemme pastebin it
[02:20] <mzz> JesperHansen: nope, that context menu is gone too
[02:20] <mzz> JesperHansen: (at least it was the one time this happened while I was around...)
[02:21] <ashlessburn> ahh yes u could always change the repo and use debian servers but i guess there is no gaurntee
[02:21] <MuffloN^> Q: I have a Creative USB Headset, how do I get it working? (Fatality HS-1000)
[02:21] <plazia> anyone had problems with frostwire I've installed it from an intrepid ibex deb package and I've installed the sun-java6-jre but for some reason I keep getting an error about not having a valid jre despite there being one installed.
[02:21] <soreau> mzz: You'd probably have to spend some quality time with it yourself to debug it.. I know when I mess with nautilus it's not a hard and fast rule that toggling the show_desktop bool in gconf immediately will always work, sometimes nautilus needs to be restarted and/or tinkered with in my experience
[02:21] <jrib> !multijava | plazia
[02:21] <linxuz3r> how do i keep kde from not messing up my gnome settings ??????
[02:21] <ashlessburn> plazia 64 bit or 32?
[02:21] <plazia> 32bit
[02:21] <ashlessburn> k
[02:21] <ashlessburn> what ubottu said then
[02:21] <soreau> linxuz3r: Don't use kde?
[02:22] <soreau> linxuz3r: Which setting specifically
[02:22] <linxuz3r> soreau: why?
[02:22] <mzz> soreau: the one time it happened here some poking made the problem go away and not reappear until I'd left the vicinity of the system. It's a bit of a pain.
[02:22] <linxuz3r> soreau: nautilus
[02:22] <zcat[1]> !usplash
[02:22] <josh1> does any one know any better task bar mac look alike, other than, AWN or Cario?
[02:22] <plazia> thanks ashlessburn and ubottu. I'm assuming ubottu is 3-laws safe?
[02:22] <ashlessburn> lol
[02:22] <MuffloN^> Q: I have a Creative USB Headset, how do I get it working? (Fatality HS-1000)
[02:22] <shadowwulf> question for 64bit 8.10 ubuntu ... i enabled the desktop cube and the roptate cube ... hardware drivers are running and i still get no cube .. any idea ?
[02:22] <bullgard4> What is an 'Internet file' as used in 'man lsof'?
[02:22] <mzz> plazia: it can probably be told to harm people :P
[02:23] <linxuz3r> when is the next release of ubuntu?
[02:23] <wikkedfin> !help
[02:23] <pod773> hello
[02:23] <pepperjack> linxuz3r: /join #ubuntu+1
[02:23] <Pici> linxuz3r: April 2009
[02:23] <soreau> mzz: That sounds like too much fun.. :p
[02:23] <JesperHansen> mzz: this seems related bug wise. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/128077 It says "Fix released", but no idea what fix
[02:23] <linxuz3r> im still 8.04 should i upgrade to 8.10?
[02:23] <Pici> !jaunty | linxuz3r
[02:23] <_DEL> !test
[02:23] <ashlessburn> shadowwulf: turn off ur 3d desktop and try again
[02:23] <zcat[1]> problem; I installed splashy.. can't do anything with it so uninstalled it again and reinstalled usplash. Now I get no splash screen. How do I fix up usplash to I can have a splash screen again?
[02:23] <pod773> im using 8.10 right now
[02:23] <plazia> mzz, but that would override rule 1 :)
[02:23] <pepperjack> linxuz3r: depends. i had no end of trouble with the legacy nvidia drivers so if you have an old nv card maybe not.
[02:23] <bullgard4> linxuz3r: No.
[02:23] <shadowwulf> ashlessburn:  so turn it off and try enabling it >?
[02:24] <mzz> JesperHansen: I'm pretty sure that bug report is too old (this is an up-to-date heron install)
[02:24] <zcat[1]> or at least suggestions of where to start looking for the problem. no clues in dmesg that I can see
[02:24] <ashlessburn> no ur driver supported 3d desktop are u using compiz or beryl
[02:24] <mzz> plazia: exactly, so I think it's not three-laws safe
[02:24] <soreau> mzz: Why not dist-upgrade for kicks?
[02:24]  * plazia backs away slowly :)
[02:24] <shadowwulf> ashlessburn:  compiz
[02:25] <carpii> fdisk -l is no longer listing my /dev/hdb, and attempting to mount /dev/hdb1 is resulting in "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb"  what gives?
[02:25] <mzz> soreau: I'd prefer to keep her on lts versions, change is bad in this case
[02:25] <Crayboff> anyone know why the window blinks when I play a graphic intensive game Chromium B.S.U.? this happens to some games but not others
[02:25] <soreau> shadowwulf: Ask in #compiz-fusion
[02:25] <UncleGemc> mzz: telinit 3 instead of 5 killed it ok
[02:25] <mzz> Crayboff: does it still happen with desktop effects off?
[02:25] <JesperHansen> mzz: even with proposed updates?
[02:25]  * Symmetria celebrates as his new insanely sized server comes online
[02:25] <_DEL> is there a way for me to set a remote login for this computer to do work from another location? its not a server edition
[02:26] <mzz> JesperHansen: I don't follow (remember I'm not usually an ubuntu user...)
[02:26]  * Symmetria notes that intrepid + HP servers are not a good combination ;p
[02:26] <diginux> _DEL: yes, with ssh
[02:26] <Titan8990> carpii, what kind of drive is it?
 ok i had this issue in 64bit when u enable your cube its "fights" for the 3d im guessing nvidia so enable cube and cube roatating u might have to check to make sure your hot keys for rotating work...and u need 2 add 4 desktops not 2
[02:26] <soreau> mzz: I'll take your word for it.. maybe write a script to toggle show_desktop and restart nautilus and put a shortcut to it in the menu
[02:26] <_DEL> im not to familiar with ssh
[02:26] <mzz> soreau: I've been considering that :)
[02:26] <plazia> Sorry jrib I forgot to thank you! that worked perfectly
[02:26] <diginux> _DEL: do you want a graphical remote interface, or simply a terminal?
[02:26] <sweetgum> whats the command to create a .tar.gz file with a list of files (literally 4) ?
[02:26] <carpii> Titan, im not sure. My web hosting provider just added it, but they mounted it as ext3 in /home2 which was working ok
[02:27] <carpii> I just changed their entry in /etc/fstab and did "mount -a" and now its all gone pear shaped
[02:27] <soreau> mzz: I end up hacking the crap out of ubuntu every time I install it seems ;)
[02:27] <JesperHansen> mzz: in synaptic => repositories is "proposed updates" and such
[02:27] <_DEL> preferably graphical, so i can see what its doing, but i can do a terminal
[02:27] <josh1> any one know a better program other than  AWN and Caio to get mac look alike task bar? i have cairo buty its pretty shitty always lagging
[02:27] <mzz> sweetgum: I'd stuff the files in a directory and run "tar zcf blah.tar.gz thedirectory"
[02:27] <dayo> sweetgum: tar cvzf filename.tar.gz filedir_to_be_tarred
[02:27] <shadowwulf> ashlessburn:  i have 4 desktops ... and the hot keys should be working
[02:27] <dayo> lol
[02:27] <mzz> JesperHansen: those are off iirc
[02:27]  * mzz wanders off to find the usb stick that .xsession-errors was on
[02:28] <diginux> _DEL: id look at nxserver and nxclient then
[02:28] <dayo> what's iirc
[02:28] <Titan8990> carpii, is it a network location?
[02:28] <syockit> dayo: If I remember correctly,
[02:28] <_DEL> aight, tnx diginux
[02:28] <Kryzler> if i remember correctly]
[02:28] <carpii> no Titan, its a physical local drive
[02:28] <JesperHansen> mzz: there might be a fix in proposed (and maybe not)
[02:28] <sweetgum> thank you guys
[02:28] <wolter> who has a dell xps 1530 ?
[02:28] <syockit> dayo: afaik: as far as I know
[02:28] <arghh2d2> isn't wbar kinda like osx josh1 ?  i've only used a mac maybe twice so i dont know
[02:28] <carpii> i do wolter
[02:28] <mzz> JesperHansen: I'll have a look (I should be able to find the ChangeLog for whatever's in proposed)
[02:29] <wolter> carpii, thanks god. Are you having problems with suspend?
[02:29] <dayo> syockit: aaaah. thank u. i kept thinking it was something like irssi lol
[02:29] <carpii> hm, well i dont use ubuntu on it anymore :(
[02:29] <mzz> dayo: irssi, screen and ssh make a great team :)
[02:29] <mzz> err,
[02:29] <Titan8990> carpii, pastebin your fstab
[02:29] <carpii> but suspend problems are usually to do with a missing dell media partition i think
[02:29] <diginux> mzz: agreed
[02:29] <soreau> mzz: They do if you can stand irssi :p
[02:29] <dayo> mzz: yes they do! :-)
[02:29] <Mal3ko> anyonw familiar with UFW? how do i specify port range?
[02:29]  * Kryzler agrees with mmz
[02:29] <mzz> dayo: sorry, got you mixed up with someone else. That must've sounded pretty random
[02:30] <diginux> mzz: add in bitlbee and you are good to go
[02:30] <josh1> argh2d2 what is wdar?
[02:30] <dayo> mzz: i did, but i agree  lol
[02:30] <ashlessburn> one sec shadow
[02:30] <dayo> see u guys, later :-)
[02:30] <mzz> JesperHansen: http://rafb.net/p/VAwHjn87.html is her .xsession-errors, fwiw
[02:30] <carpii> Titan, http://paste.ubuntu.com/117099/
[02:30] <arghh2d2> josh1: sorry, wbar, it's some kind of application launcher
[02:30] <wolter> oh carpii ... well, I am using ubuntu..
[02:30] <arghh2d2> wbar, with a B
[02:30] <Kryzler> bye dayo
[02:30] <wolter> linux should fix this immediately
[02:30] <carpii> Titan, i changed it back to /home2, so afaik its the same as my webhost left it when it was mounted successfully
[02:31] <wolter> carpii, when you did use ubuntu, were you able to suspend/sleep?
[02:31] <carpii> wolter, im not sure its a linux problem specifically
[02:31] <josh1> im a noob so i dont know what that is:P how would i get it? im looking for a new taskbar is all, i didnt like the one ubuntu came with
[02:31] <_DEL> diginux, will that allow me to do it from a linux os? google is bringing up windows for it
[02:31] <mzz> JesperHansen: that "unable to add monitor" thing is suspicious, but that was also added after I restarted nautilus (and it was drawing icons by then)
[02:31] <carpii> wolter, yes, but i made sure i didnt nuke the dell partition
[02:31] <diginux> _DEL: its for windows and linux
[02:31] <wolter> carpii, hm...
[02:31] <soreau> josh1: Like a dock?
[02:31] <wolter> i did nuked it haha
[02:31] <diginux> _DEL: google setting up nxserver in ubuntu
[02:31] <josh1> yes
[02:31] <wolter> but that shouldn't affect ubuntu at all.
[02:31] <josh1> i like the mac look and feel
[02:31] <arghh2d2> soreau: he says he wants ubuntu to look like osx
[02:31] <soreau> josh1: Install AWN
[02:32] <carpii> wolter, you have to be careful, because trying to use the media buttons when youve nuked the partition can render the machine unbootable :/
[02:32] <aLeahhaLeY> hi everyone I have a question...I recently uninstalled ubuntu off my computer but everytime I try to restart it and use Windows I get Error 22 how do I make my computer recognize my windows partition again?
[02:32] <carpii> at least thats what ive read in ubuntu forums. it happened lots
[02:32] <soreau> !awn
[02:32] <josh1> ah, lol i have trouble doing that lol
[02:32] <Crayboff> mzz: umm i didn't anticipate that turning off the effects would get rid of my compiz settings. no the thing doesn't flash when my affects are off, but i like my effects too much to disable them
[02:32] <mzz> aLeahhaLeY: install a windows mbr. I don't know a convenient way to do that offhand.
[02:32] <dhruvasagar> aLeahhaLeY: you will need to restore your MBR
[02:32] <wolter> carpii, well, i can always turn off by pressing the power-off button for some seconds..
[02:32] <aLeahhaLeY> how do I do that?
[02:32] <josh1> i have installed it, but when i try to run it from applications a grey screen comes up then goes a way leaving me with nothing
[02:32] <shadowwulf> ashlessburn:  thanks for it
[02:33] <dhruvasagar> aLeahhaLeY: you can do that by booting from the Windows CD and going for Repair
[02:33] <zcat[1]> problem; I installed splashy.. caused me to have no spalsh at all and I can't figure out how to use it so uninstalled it again and reinstalled usplash. Now I get no splash screen. How do I fix up usplash to I can have a splash screen again?
[02:33] <zcat[1]> .
[02:33] <mzz> Crayboff: likely cause is games using opengl not running properly while compiz is running. Getting this fixed properly may take a while depending on the driver you're using.
[02:33] <soreau> aLeahhaLeY: Either reinstall grub or use the window cd (there's plenty of howto's on the net|ask in #windows)
[02:33] <ashlessburn> np mang
[02:33] <dhruvasagar> aLeahhaLeY: After you go for the repair option, you will get a command prompt, there you will find certain commands for restoring the MBR
[02:33] <Crayboff> mzz: did you get a chance to look at the pastebin?
[02:34] <dhruvasagar> aLeahhaLeY: just type help there and you will find the commands
[02:34] <Safe> I'm having some trouble. i can't boot into my ubuntu but i can access my usb stick.
[02:34] <wolter> anybody else with an xps m1530?
[02:34] <Safe> can i log into it somehow from the livecd?
[02:34] <mzz> Crayboff: missed it, reading now.
[02:34] <aLeahhaLeY> ok...so a windows cd is required to do this then right?
[02:34] <Crayboff> ah alright
[02:34] <CNLiberal> I'm back...i thought this was mdadm problem was fixed, but i think something is hosed
[02:34] <soreau> aLeahhaLeY: Not if you reinstall grub
[02:34] <mzz> aLeahhaLeY: iirc that is one possibility, but at least the sysresccd.org cd can also do this
[02:34] <CNLiberal> i added the disk back into the array and it started to rebuild
[02:34] <dhruvasagar> aLeahhaLeY: yes, unless you backed up your MBR somewhere
[02:34] <Titan8990> carpii, I have only seen drives drop off of fdisk on a machine I had a pci raid controller in
[02:35] <CNLiberal> the disks were active
[02:35] <bullgard4> What is an 'Internet file' as used in 'man lsof'?
[02:35] <Titan8990> carpii, reboot usually temporarly fixed it, have you tried a reboot?
[02:35] <carpii> hmm, theres no raid controller afaik. or if there is its definitely not raided
[02:35] <aLeahhaLeY> so if reinstall grub...and I guess ubuntu again...it will set up 2 paritions one for ubuntu and the other for windows?
[02:35] <carpii> Titan, not yet. Im trying to avoid it because website is quite busy atm
[02:35] <asc> I just performed a fresh install of 8.04. I installed the ion3 window manager and tried to log into it in GDM but it crashed instantly. Does anybody know why?
[02:35] <CNLiberal> then they stopped being active and cat /proc/mdstat kept increasing the amount of time it would take to rebuild
[02:35] <alan> having trouble with compiz, can anyone help me completely uninstall and reinstall latest stable version
[02:35] <carpii> Titan, ill try that tonight though, thanks
[02:35] <dhruvasagar> Guys I have a weird problem!
[02:35] <CNLiberal> until finally, it stopped rebuilding all together
[02:35] <mzz> Crayboff: is any particular usb device not working?
[02:36] <dhruvasagar> I am here on Ubuntu 8.10 64bit version
[02:36] <ashlessburn> aleah tryrunning the ubuntu live cd gparted if u want to create part
[02:36] <soreau> aLeahhaLeY: if that's what you tell it to do, yes. Otherwise you will need a windows cd to reinstall it's mbr
[02:36] <Titan8990> carpii, yeah, my machine is question was production server too.....
[02:36] <carpii> Titan, does the "1 3" in fstab look ok?  I thought it was odd that the 1 is same for hda too
[02:36] <CNLiberal> if anyone here is an MDADM guru, i'd really appreciate it
[02:36] <aLeahhaLeY> ok thanks a lot everyone I'll give those ideas a shot.
[02:36] <Crayboff> mzz: i have not tried using a usb device in a while
[02:36] <JesperHansen> mzz: This seems like a better guess at what is wrong: ** ERROR:(nautilus-desktop-directory.c:162):directory_ready_callback: assertion failed: (g_list_find (merged_callback->non_ready_directories, directory) != NULL)
[02:36] <CNLiberal> is there any way I can test each drive for issues?
[02:36] <dhruvasagar> if Ubuntu goes to sleep, it doesn't wake up properly I get errors while waking up and it doesnt start
[02:37] <ashlessburn> titan u have a laptop?
[02:37] <soreau> dhruvasagar: Probably a video driver issue. Which one do you use?
[02:37] <wolter> dhruvasagar, yeah.. same here
[02:37] <mzz> Crayboff: at least one is attached, and it's complaining about that device
[02:37] <Titan8990> carpii, actually, the fstab man page only says to use 0 1 or 2 for the 2nd field
[02:37] <Titan8990> ashlessburn, im on a laptop now
[02:37] <carpii> hrm
[02:37] <mzz> JesperHansen: hmm, must've missed the -desktop-directory part of that message
[02:37] <Crayboff> mzz: are you saying that there is something in my USB port?
[02:37]  * Kryzler <3 man
[02:37] <Crayboff> mzz: cause there isn't
[02:37] <merther> Hi, my cpu is hyperthreading capable but 8.04 doesn't seem to have hyperthreading enabled.
[02:38] <mzz> Crayboff: unless I'm reading the wrong dmesg, yes.
[02:38] <geekybroad> hi folks... i installed recent version of kubuntu with a cdrom drive, installed the ubuntu desktop (and am now using that).  and the switched out the cdrom drive for a dvd-rw.  Menu:  Places -> computer only gives filesystem (my hard drive) and  LaCie (USB hard drive.)  /mnt is empty.  I can press the button on the drive, and it opens and blinks... I can insert a disc.  Just can't access it anywhere.  Dvd is only device connected w
[02:38]  * mzz doublechecks
[02:38] <merther> anyone know how to get that working?
[02:38] <diginux> merther: you have to do something special to enable it..
[02:38] <ashlessburn> titan8990, bar?
[02:38] <Crayboff> mzz: well umm I'm using a laptop and I don't see anything poking out of the sides
[02:38] <diginux> merther: if you google it, youll probably find it, i forget how to do it
[02:38] <zcat[1]> OK, looks like the only way to get my splash screen back is to reinstall the whole damn OS. Yay. that sucks.
[02:38] <cfedde> merther: usualy a bios thing iirc
[02:38] <MuffloN^> Q: I have a Creative USB Headset, how do I get it working? (Fatality HS-1000)
[02:38] <carpii> Titan, what are those fields called? Im looking at http://linux.die.net/man/8/mount but its really hard to see where theyre documented
[02:38] <merther> there's no setting in the bios that I could find.
[02:38] <dhruvasagar> soreau: wolter not sure...NVIDIA is my graphics driver...is it the same as Video driver?
[02:39] <soreau> Yes
[02:39] <Safe> why do i get "error loading system" when starting the computer? grub seems legit, havent changed a thing
[02:39] <Titan8990> carpii, i was looking at:  man fstab
[02:39] <cfedde> merther: run top. hit '1' does it list more cpu?
[02:39] <carpii> titan, ahh that looks better. thanks
[02:39] <mzz> Crayboff: nvm, it's probably just a hub
[02:39] <CNLiberal> is there a way i can test each hard drive without over writing anything on that drive?
[02:39] <durt> bullgard4: it's not Internet file, it's network file, google the three examples given and you'll see what they are
[02:39] <merther> no
[02:39] <wolter> dhruvasagar, yeah. do you use nvidia-glx-180 /
[02:39] <wolter> ?
[02:39] <dhruvasagar> soreau: so what can I do?
[02:39] <CNLiberal> i wanna make suer they aren't dropping off the system
[02:39] <soreau> dhruvasagar: Either don't let the thing go to sleep or turn off visual effects. I found that screensavers make my nvidia machine crash
[02:39] <cfedde> n
[02:39] <Crayboff> mzz: which means?
[02:39] <mzz> Crayboff: also a keyboard and mouse though.
[02:40] <dhruvasagar> wolter: I use 177.82
[02:40] <wolter> hm
[02:40] <dhruvasagar> soreau: hmm
[02:40] <wolter> but yeah
[02:40] <Safe> do anyone know how to log into an existing ubuntu from the livecd?
[02:40] <mzz> Crayboff: and an integrated webcam, if I read this right
[02:40] <wolter> it seems like its a gfx driver problem
[02:40] <wolter> Safe, you can't login
[02:40] <soreau> dhruvasagar: You can upgrade to 180 if it's an option in Sys>Admin>HW Drivers
[02:40] <wolter> Safe, you can browse files, but not login
[02:41] <Safe> stupid grub messing up for no reason
[02:41] <mzz> Crayboff: there's a "softreset failed" for your primary hd, but that's *probably* not a serious problem
[02:41] <soreau> Safe: You can fix grub from the live cd
[02:41] <zcat[1]> I really don't want to reinstall because I've done a whole heap of updates and adding packages, surely there's a less drastic way to get the freaking splash screen back a\gain. anyone?
[02:41] <Safe> yeah i know, i see nothing wrong with it though
[02:41] <Crayboff> mzz: well it has the normal keyboard attached to it and the touchpad for a mouse. it does have an integrated webcam and a microphone which I can't get to work
[02:41] <dhruvasagar> soreau: 177 is the highest version I see there...
[02:41] <CNLiberal> anything?
[02:41] <mzz> Safe: you can chroot though
[02:41] <sagredo> after updating to 8.10 expose crashes compiz-fusion, any ideas?
[02:41] <soreau> Safe: I thought you said it was messing up?
[02:41] <sagredo> after updating to 8.10 expose crashes compiz-fusion, any ideas?
[02:42] <Safe> soreau: well it wont load my ubuntu, thats a bout it
[02:42] <soreau> dhruvasagar: Then disab;e power manager
[02:42] <dhruvasagar> Guys I have another problem, there is nothing in my Add/Remove applications menu...senaptic is fine, but nothing in Add/Remove
[02:42] <Safe> soreau: just says "error starting up system os" when booting up
[02:42] <Tlchack5> hey, i wanna put ubuntu on my dell computer, but i wanna be able to go back to Windows XP (wich is currently installed) if I have problems with converting to linux... how can i set it up were i can test try ubuntu but switch back to my old operating sytem if i dont like it?
[02:42] <dhruvasagar> soreau: ok will do that
[02:42] <asc> I just performed a fresh install of 8.04. I installed the ion3 window manager and tried to log into it in GDM but it crashed instantly. It does work under gdmflexiserver --xnest, however. Can anybody help me?
[02:42] <merther> also cat /proc/cpuinfo only lists one cpu.  Is flagged that it can do hyperthreading though.
[02:42] <soreau> Safe: After the grub splash screen loads and you select ubuntu?
[02:42] <mzz> Tlchack5: easiest way may be wubi
[02:42] <Safe> i did uninstall xp but doesnt grub load from the hdd and not mbr?
[02:42] <zqj> hello
[02:42] <mzz> !wuby | mzz
[02:42] <Safe> soreau: i cant even get to grub
[02:42] <mzz> !wubi | mzz
[02:42] <pepperjack> Tlchack5: by default ubuntu allows you to retain windows and just dual boot. so you have a menu at boot that chooses ubuntu or windows
[02:43] <wolter> asc, did you try rebooting again?
[02:43] <pepperjack> Tlchack5: just follow the installer prompts
[02:43] <soreau> Safe: Then install grub from the live cd
[02:43] <mzz> !wubi | Tlchack5
[02:43] <kitche> Safe: grub installs to mbr if you tell it which is ubuntu's default
[02:43] <JesperHansen> mzz: What is the nautilus version?
[02:43] <Tlchack5> pepperjack: thank you kind sir
[02:43] <Safe> but when i changed the boot order of the hdds in bios it mattered
[02:43] <mzz> JesperHansen: I can't check currently, I'm not at the affected system. Should be latest in hardy though, so that's, um
[02:43] <asc> wolter: Not since installing ion, but it didn't help last time I tried (yesterday).
[02:43] <Safe> i mean, if i had one it loaded xp, if the other, grub
[02:44] <soreau> JesperHansen: It would be 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu4 for Hardy
[02:44] <asc> *last time I tried to do a fresh install and get ion working
[02:44] <Burnt> Hey everyone. I DLed and ran the Ubuntu Desktop through the CD I copied it on. I have a built in webcam with my computer. Is there a way to turn it on through the new OS?
[02:44] <wolter> asc, whats ion?
[02:44] <mzz> JesperHansen: 1:<IP_ADDRESS>-0ubuntu1 but I'll check if that's what she actually has later
[02:44] <asc> wolter: A window manager
[02:44] <zcat[1]> think i found it.. usplash-theme-ubuntu wasn't installed.. rebooting now to see if that works
[02:44] <wolter> asc, hm.. well, i can't help you no further
[02:44] <wolter> can*
[02:44] <soreau> !webcam | Burnt
[02:45] <asc> Kk. Thanks.
[02:45] <Safe> ohwell, how do i reinstall grub then?
[02:45] <zcat[1]> nope, still no splash screen
[02:45] <soreau> ! grub | Safe
[02:46] <dhruvasagar> guys, which is the best place to download themes for ubuntu?
[02:46] <soreau> dhruvasagar: The internet
[02:46] <zcat[1]> gnome-look.org
[02:46] <soreau> ! themes
[02:46] <mzz> Safe: sounds like you may simply have to fix up grub.conf though if all you did was reorder drives (and grub still starts)
[02:46] <carpii> try a car boot sale
[02:46] <dhruvasagar> soreau: lol, well I meant a particular website...
[02:46] <carpii> theres also kde-look.org
[02:46] <soreau> dhruvasagar: Read what ubottu said
[02:47] <Jaan|Perfect> system -> administration -> hardware testing : ubuntu 8.10. what is hardware testing and why did it ask 4 my email ID ?
[02:47] <wolter> kinja-sheep, are you there yet?
[02:47] <wolter> Jaan|Perfect, its to test how your hardware works with ubuntu, and send feedback to the ubuntu developers
[02:47] <dhruvasagar> soreau: I might have missed his message, I had got dc, I don't see any message from him about themes
[02:48] <ashlessburn> gnome theme
[02:48] <ashlessburn> or kde?
[02:48] <zcat[1]> GRGRRRRRRR
[02:48] <soreau> ! themes | dhruvasagar
[02:48] <soreau> dhruvasagar: Can you read that now?
[02:48] <Crayboff> umm any explanation why my IP address changed without my permission? also, why does whatismyipaddress.com say I live in kansas?
[02:49] <zcat[1]> one tiny stupid mistake and nobody can tell me how to fix it up again?
[02:49] <soreau> zcat[1]: Why did you mess with it?
[02:49] <kitche> Crayboff: maybe because your ISP is in kansas for the main hub not really a question for this channel really
[02:49] <kitche> Crayboff: also IP addresses refresh if you do not have a static IP
[02:49] <Jaan|Perfect> wolter, i have installed 8.1 invmware, is there anyway to know about installed hardware and its drivers
[02:49] <mzz> Crayboff: more likely to be your isp being weird than ubuntu being weird
[02:49] <dhruvasagar> soreau: yea
[02:49] <dhruvasagar> ubottu: thanks!
[02:49] <bullgard4> mikegriffin: man 8 lsof: " -i [i]   This option selects the listing of files any of whose Internet address matches the address specified in i.  If no address is specified, this option selects the listing of all Internet and x.25  (HP-UX)  network files." How can you state: "It's not Internet file"? I do not understand.
[02:50] <zcat[1]> trying to get a custom splash screen.. right now I'd settle for any splash screen at all again.
[02:50] <mzz> ubottu: botsnack
[02:50] <MuffloN^> Q: I have a Creative USB Headset, how do I get it working? (Fatality HS-1000)
[02:50] <prince_jammys> zcat[1]: is 'splash' specified in your /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
[02:50] <Crayboff> kitche: I have verizon fios and it hadn't changed for like 6 months
[02:50] <Crayboff> mzz: probably
[02:50] <wolter> Jaan|Perfect, hm, you have to install the guest additions or something like that to get everything working.
[02:50] <zcat[1]> YES
[02:50] <kitche> Crayboff: think 6 months is fios IP lease time then it refreshes
[02:50] <soreau> MuffloN^: You're probably better off googling the model you just posted with keyword ubuntu
[02:51] <ubuntu_> hi i made a usb start up disk and i am trying to install drivers for my video card i installed them then i go to restart my computer and during restart i get this error ( [Restricted drivers] Perhaps there is a stale stock file [failed] it also says cannot create link /etc/mtab/ any ideas why this is happaning
[02:51] <hyperbuddha> ktche just use dyndns
[02:51] <MuffloN^> soreau: That's the thing, there are about zero results
[02:51] <mzz> MuffloN^: (assuming just plugging it in and unmuting it doesn't do the trick)
[02:51] <soreau> Indeed
[02:51] <MuffloN^> Nope
[02:51] <Jaan|Perfect> wolter. how can i generate a list of my hardware and it's corresponding drivers information
[02:51] <prince_jammys> zcat[1]: you tried running the update-alternatives command after installing usplash-theme-ubuntu ?
[02:52] <Droopsta915> What codec can I use for m4a files?
[02:52] <prince_jammys> zcat[1]: the one mentioned in ubottu's factoid
[02:52] <sileni> hey guys i think ubuntu just updated my firefox, and now when i open firefox its fully maximized and i don't see the buttons that allow me to minimize resize and such. Is there anyway to enable this again in firefox 3.0
[02:52] <mzz> MuffloN^: also look at dmesg and/or lsusb to see what kind of device it actually is (you may find a chipset name/number there that gives better google results than the name on the box)
[02:52] <zcat[1]> just waiting for reboot.. will try that next
[02:52] <MuffloN^> lsusb: Bus 005 Device 003: ID 041e:0400 Creative Technology, Ltd

[02:53] <MuffloN^> mzz: I posted it
[02:53] <ashlessburn> both commands

[02:53] <fluitfries> how do i enable all the buttons on my logitech mouse?
[02:53] <wolter> Jaan|Perfect, but most of your hardware will be virtual
[02:53] <JesperHansen> mzz: well, nothing changed from <IP_ADDRESS> to 2.24.1 in directory_ready_callback.. must be somewhere else things have been fixed.
[02:53] <fluitfries> at least the mmb.
[02:54] <mzz> MuffloN^: sorry, missed it. That's all there is? The HID device isn't what you're after...
[02:54] <zcat[1]> ashlessburn: I already did apt-get remove --purge all of the packages splashy installed...
[02:54] <MuffloN^> mzz: Give me a second to confirm that's that all
[02:54] <ashlessburn> sudo apt-get install usplash   try this and then restart ...make sure ur grub is fine
[02:54] <ashlessburn> 64bit or 32
[02:54] <mzz> MuffloN^: just pastebin 20 lines or so of dmesg around that line if in doubt, and/or more of lsusb
[02:55]  * mzz is much better at weeding out noise than at figuring out useful context was omitted
[02:55] <Crayboff> if you want to access your router, you put "<IP_ADDRESS>" into the url bar, right?
[02:55] <pepperjack> Crayboff: nope
[02:55] <mzz> Crayboff: <IP_ADDRESS> is localhost, not your router
[02:55] <zcat[1]> reboot-alternatives --all may have fixed it.. rebooting
[02:55] <zcat[1]> nope.
[02:55] <Crayboff> oops, well what do i put in then?
[02:55] <Droopsta915> pepperjack:I have the same prob sileni had, only it's doing it in open office word processor. Can u help? please
[02:55] <Crayboff> my external IP address?
[02:55] <MuffloN^> mzz: yes, that was all
[02:56] <pepperjack> Droopsta915: soory im not too familiar with that app. if you only need to move it to access a button you can alt+leftclick on any window to drag it around
[02:56] <mzz> Crayboff: the address mentioned as default gateway in the output from "route" tends to work, afaik
[02:56]  * mzz isn't great at networking though...
[02:56] <mzz> MuffloN^: not sure what's up with that then, sorry.
[02:56] <soreau> Crayboff: Your router ip. it depends on which router you have but this isn't #networking
[02:56] <pepperjack> Droopsta915: that will often end fullscreen as well
[02:56] <Jaan|Perfect> wolter, i will fire up vmware and install gnome device manager and see what happens

[02:58] <josh1> hello ubuntu, i need some much needed help. im trying to get a mac taskbar look a like, i have AWN but it does seem to work on my computer, so then it was suggested i try Cairo, i have that on right now, but its gelitchy and would like to knwo if theres something else out there i can use?
[02:58] <Crayboff> ya, kindofabuzz, it works
[02:59] <prince_jammys> josh1: there's a kde one called kooldock
[02:59] <mzz> MuffloN^: sorry, no idea
[02:59] <carpii> MasterShrek, try azureus.  You acn run it from cmdline and admin it via http
[02:59] <frank3> frank3
[02:59] <josh1> where would i find this how do it get it?
[02:59] <kindofabuzz> for default router ips: http://www.answersthatwork.com/Download_Area/ATW_Library/Networking/Network__4-List_of_default_Router_Admin_Passwords_and_IP_addresses.pdf
[02:59] <prince_jammys> josh1: you can install it with apt/synaptic
[02:59] <usser> josh1, try wbar its very lightweight, fast and somewhat feature-limited, but fast
[02:59] <usser> josh1, oh did i mention it was very fast
[03:00] <Scunizi> josh1: awn should work if your video drivers are providing glx.. do you have an nvidia card? did you install the restricted driver from system>admin>hardware drivers
[03:00] <soreau> josh1: AWN requires a compositing window manager like compiz. which graphics hardware / drivers do you use?
[03:00] <josh1> my computer is about 5 years old and im using a built in video card otyher than that im not sure on graphics
[03:01] <josh1> usser where do i, how do i get that prgram
[03:01] <usser> josh1, http://code.google.com/p/wbar/downloads/list
[03:01] <Scunizi> josh1: do a lspci | less to look at the list of hardware on the pci buss.. it should identify the card
[03:02] <arief> a
[03:02] <Owner> I just installed mysql.. .the default password isn't blank?
[03:02] <Owner> What is it?
[03:02] <Owner> I am so confused
[03:02] <Owner> there is no hint at to what it could be
[03:02] <syockit> Owner: try reconfiguring?
[03:02] <Titan8990> Owner, it asks you during installation....
[03:02] <josh1> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)
[03:02] <foolz> where can I go to find themes for Gnome?
[03:02] <syockit> Owner: probably 'root'
[03:02] <Scunizi> Owner if it didn't ask to set a password on install then you have to set it. google.
[03:02] <usser> josh1, get the deb file for etch, it should work just fine in ubuntu, also get wbarconf it simplifies configuration alot http://www.gtkfiles.org/app.php/wbarconf
[03:03] <bullgard4> What is an 'Internet file' as used in 'man lsof'?
[03:03] <Titan8990> Owner, yes, there is a command to set roots pw
[03:03] <arief> does anyone know what is the command to connect in to wireless in kosole terminal???
[03:03] <Owner> Titan8990, what is it!?
[03:03] <kindofabuzz> Owner, when you installed mysql it should've asked you then to set a password when installing
[03:04] <Titan8990> Owner, is the password null or you don't know the password?
[03:04] <syockit> kindofabuzz: it didn't when I did tasksel lamp-server
[03:04] <Owner> hmmm
[03:04] <Owner> I guess it prompted her for one but she mistyped it
[03:04] <kindofabuzz> it did prompt you, that's part of the install, it won't install until you set a pasword
[03:04] <Owner> tried to purge mysql-server and reinstall it
[03:04] <Owner> didnt prompt that time
[03:04] <kindofabuzz> it even asks you twice
[03:05] <Titan8990> Owner: that makes things more difficult... try:   sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql
[03:05] <kindofabuzz> well you'll probably have to reinstall it, you can'tset a new pass unless you know the pass
[03:05] <zhjawe> Hi,Does anyone know how to convert jpg file to PDF?多谢。
[03:05] <kindofabuzz> zhaozhou, install imagemagiic
[03:06] <kindofabuzz> zhaozhou, install Imagemagick then convert whatever.jpg whatever.pdf
[03:07] <mzz> zhjawe: what kindofabuzz said and use "convert blah.png blah.pdf" on the commandline, or open in any image editor and print to pdf
[03:07] <mzz> err, jpg, not png
[03:07] <_theradar> anybody here use fluxbox with two monitors?
[03:08]  * kindofabuzz gets back to learning python
[03:08] <mzz> yay!
[03:08] <zhjawe> Thank you,are there some command tools?
[03:08] <secvuln> hello
[03:08] <mzz> zhjawe: "convert" is a commandline tool.
[03:09] <secvuln> adobe flash says that /usr/lib/mozilla is not a valid installation path. Is that not the right path?
[03:09] <mzz> secvuln: are you trying to install flash by hand? Why not use the package (iirc it's called flashplugin-nonfree)?
[03:09] <usser> secvuln, theres no need to use installer from adobe.com
[03:09] <zhjawe>  mzz:Thanks your help,I will download and try it.
[03:10] <mzz> (does someone have a good "don't run installers as root, the package manager is your friend" rant I can link to? I'm considering writing one)
[03:10] <secvuln> As it's for a program, I have to due it via shell.
[03:10] <dusint_mattr> Hmmm.... Hi
[03:10] <mzz> secvuln: I don't follow.
[03:10] <usser> secvuln, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[03:11] <soreau> mzz: It should be a factoid..
[03:11] <nickrud> mzz, look around on help.ubuntu.com, if not add it :)
[03:11] <soreau> ! root
[03:11] <fishn> anyone in here can help me get pidgin-encryption-3.0 compile ?
[03:11] <mzz> soreau: was thinking of something slightly longer than that
[03:11] <CNLiberal> can anyone tell me how to blink a certain drive?
[03:11] <mzz> soreau: short web page
[03:11] <ashlessburn> su     sudo -i   or setting permmisions ....if its opensuse then it toor
[03:12] <soreau> mzz: But the factoid would point to the link and hasty users never follow links - unless you just want to have a blog rant ;)
[03:12] <shakir> E: nagios3-common: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1  : does anybody knew what is this its show me when im installing something
[03:12] <dusint_mattr> info
[03:12] <mzz> shakir: the actual error is hopefully above that
[03:12] <nickrud> mzz, mention bin, rpm, etc, write a short factoid, do it well and the people with bot privs will probably add it.
[03:12] <Joeseph> with the latest update to Firefox, I can no longer enter in an address into the address bar, or the search bar and go to that page: it gives me an error.    Is this common?
[03:12] <mzz> soreau: I think it might be useful for people migrating from windows
[03:12] <fluitfries> is there a command to tell me the exact make and model of my video card?
[03:12] <shakir> can i fix that?
[03:13] <mzz> Joeseph: what's the error?
[03:13] <nickrud> fluitfries, lspci | grep -i vga
[03:13] <mzz> fluitfries: lspci usually has that info
[03:13] <soreau> mzz: If they read it, quite
[03:13] <fluitfries> thanks!
[03:13] <shakir> mzz : can i fix that ?
[03:13] <mzz> soreau: I'll just stop talking to them if they don't, or something
[03:13] <mzz> shakir: that depends on what the actual error is
[03:14] <Joeseph> mzz: The error is "ASSERT: Search: _installLocation: enghine has no file!"  and then it gives me a stack Trace, which I don't think will be relevant.
[03:14] <fishn> or more or less anyone got pidgin running with encryption 3.0 script , it fails when i configure
[03:14] <mzz> shakir: this just means "post-installation script failed". It doesn't tell you why (and post-installation scripts can do a wide variety of things)
[03:14] <vigneswwaaa> my laptop is dropping internet constantly
