[04:09] <fas3r> what's the best way to execute " shell command / script " with php ? direct with shell_exec() or write what we want execute in files and use cron (it check if file exist and execute it if true) .....
[04:09] <barraponto> how do i list all groups? (user groups, like audio, video, httpd)
[04:09] <iceroot> r3dux: nas with usb dont need eth1
[04:09] <Dr_Willis> kraitos:  just search look for 'xsplash' it will show several dozen alternatives people ahve uploaded. exore the pacakges/files you can mixx/match the logos/throbber and backgrounds if you want.
[04:09] <doug_> no my network is not hidden.
[04:09] <Dr_Willis> barraponto:  cat /etc/groups is one way i think
[04:09] <Jaza> Thanks, r3dux
[04:09] <iceroot> fas3r: as we told you in #debian  ask in #php
[04:10] <fas3r> :p
[04:10] <salambander> has anyone solved the sudden session logout problem on karmic?
[04:10] <fossiiil> Dr_Willis: it's /etc/group to be precise :-)
[04:10] <iceroot> barraponto: getent group
[04:10] <r3dux> iceroot, my nas is fine to connect to through ethernet, unfortunately I'm out on the road w/ no router - just the nas and a USB cable. It creates a ETH1 device when I connect it - damned if I can connect to the NAS tho =/
[04:10] <silverPan> doug_ did you try to see if it's accessible from a different system?  maybe it's your router...
[04:10] <ndan> i was wondering, many times i'm trapped in terminal and need to connect to a wireless access point ... no gui, my searches lead to simple iw and i can get scan and stuff to work.  but how do i actually connect.
[04:11] <barraponto> dr_willis: can i list all groups of a user?
[04:11] <kraitos> Dr_Willis: thanks, i just exchange files as long as they are the same type of file?
[04:11] <doug_> yea my brothers are all on the internet and i am currently on said laptop with a wired connection
[04:11] <iceroot> barraponto: id username
[04:11] <koala^xmas> salambander I asked someone called Maryqc to come here for aid, but I dunno if she will, she's French speaking
[04:12] <barraponto> iceroot: dr_willis: thanks a lot
[04:12] <koala^xmas> Ciao and merry Christmas
[04:12] <mordof> running karmic (9.10) with video card x1950xtx.. am i understanding the Binary Driver HowTo for ATI on the ubuntu help correctly when it says that my video card is too old, and can't use the fglrx driver anymore?  if this is true, is there any other driver that can be used? would like to try out gnome-shell.. but as it is i can't with the default drivers
[04:12] <salambander> koala^xmas: ah, thanks.  cheers
[04:12] <silverPan> barraponto if you're logged as the user in question the use 'groups' at the commandline.
[04:13] <r3dux> iceroot, have assigned the eth1 interface an IP with sudo ifconfig eth1 <IP_ADDRESS>, and I can ping it - just can't connect using "sudo mount /mnt/<IP_ADDRESS> /mnt/Share -o user=MYUSERNAME,passowrd=MYPASSWORD"
[04:13] <zetheroo> I have been trying to create a bootable USB HDD for installing Ubuntu on other computers but I cannot get it to boot ...
[04:13] <silverPan> barraponto: try 'man groups' sometime.
[04:13] <silverPan> ;)
[04:13] <iceroot> r3dux: wrong command
[04:13] <r3dux> Sorry, forgot to put "sudo mount -t cifs", have tried "-t smbfs" too - neither work
[04:14] <Ubuntu_User> I don't know...about wine not working or KlamAV saying it's loose?
[04:14] <iceroot> r3dux: not /mnt/<IP_ADDRESS>  its mount <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:14] <iceroot> r3dux: or //<IP_ADDRESS> for cifs
[04:14] <jayk-> does anybody know how to force a reconfig of xwindows? i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but it returns me to a root prompt within a second or two. i also tried -phigh
[04:14] <iceroot> zetheroo: usb boot enabled in bios?
[04:14] <silverPan> doug_ it;s hard to believe that you can see all other networks, except for your own, that is not hidden and connected to by others.... hmmmmm, im at a loss... i guess suggested restarts of systems and routers is a waste? o_o
[04:14] <shashike> hi
[04:15] <shashike> i  got  PHOTOSHOP cs 2
[04:15] <r3dux> Sorry, be easier if I actually copied and pasted what I've used: sudo mount -t smbfs //<IP_ADDRESS>/Share /mnt/Share -o user=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD      (where I've changed the stuff in caps)
[04:15] <Dante1231> hey guys...it worked
[04:15] <r3dux> And I have a share called, "Share"
[04:15] <shashike> will  photoshop CS2  work  on  wine??
[04:15] <Dante1231> the one from the article.....
[04:15] <doug_> I've tried that.    I feel like its the broadcomm card
[04:15] <fromWinToLin> Anyone here use gPodder?
[04:15] <zetheroo> iceroot: yep
[04:16] <shashike> will  photoshop cs2  work  on  wine??
[04:16] <alankila> r3dux: you can try also with the command-line smbclient '\\<IP_ADDRESS>\Share''
[04:16] <iceroot> !appdb | shashike
[04:16] <zetheroo> iceroot: I can use a USB flash disk but no HDD
[04:16] <alankila> extra ', but take it away...
[04:16] <silverPan> zetheroo: what are you using to build the bootable drive??
[04:16] <mOOey> cool Dante1231!
[04:16] <Ubuntu_User> Anyone know about the program Kleansweep....? It just found like 140 mebabites of stuff...and I don't know if I should clear it all
[04:16] <mOOey> <--- `mOOse`
[04:16] <shashike> will  cracks  work  under wine??
[04:16] <silverPan> shashike: have you studied the released information on the winehq website??
[04:16] <alankila> r3dux: mount is a bit complicated to work right, so it might be easier to get smbclient right first and then work on the mount.
[04:16] <zetheroo> silverPan: unetbootin and the default ubuntu app
[04:16] <iceroot> shashike: again, please look at the appdb
[04:16] <shashike> will  cracks  work  under wine??
[04:17] <iceroot> zetheroo: and the disk is created bootable?
[04:17] <iceroot> shashike: stop that
[04:17] <shashike> but  checked  every where!!! but  cant  get  the answer  lol
[04:17] <Dante1231> mOOey yeah that simple one worked....thanks for help....sharing internet now....so dad/mom are happy and kids are happy...merry christmas all
[04:17] <poi77> Hi! I am trying to share files between my ubuntu machines. Is NFS a secure way to do this? I need it mounted onn the remote machine
[04:18] <r3dux> smbclient at least gives me a login failure (because it's trying to use my current login username not the one setup on the NAS) - will try some more smbclient stuff - thank you!
[04:18] <mOOey> yay!
[04:18] <iceroot> poi77: nfs is not secure
[04:18] <Dante1231> blackknight thanks too....although i ended up getting it to work simple way....but thanks for help/effort
[04:18] <Dr_Willis> shashike:  it all depens on the program/game and Yes. i have used no-cd-cracked games in wine. often its the only way the game will run. depending on the protection
[04:18] <mOOey> I set it up myself so when I get the chance I'm going to test it too
[04:18] <alankila> r3dux: yes, use the -U option to enter another username
[04:18] <zetheroo> iceroot: both apps say the process was competed successfully
[04:18] <Kr0ntab> poi77, if you're on a private network... its perfectly fine...
[04:18] <iceroot> poi77: maybe if you can use nfsv4
[04:18] <r3dux> Will try that now, alankila :)
[04:18] <YouMust> how can i change the permissions on my USB hdd, i put sudo chmod -rw-r--r-- /dev/sdc, but it says, chmod: /dev/sdc: new permissions are ----w----, not --------- ??
[04:18] <mOOey> <-- on laptop with usb persistent 9.10 here
[04:18] <shashike> oh
[04:19] <poi77> iceroot: What are the risks? are there alternatives?
[04:19] <shashike> thanx
[04:19] <shashike> and  merry  christams!!!!!!
[04:19] <Dr_Willis> YouMust:  one normally chmode/chowns the filesystem/files/dirctores. not the device.
[04:19] <Dr_Willis> YouMust:  and it will also depend on the kind of filesystem.
[04:19] <jayk-> does anybody know how to force a reconfig of xwindows? i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but it returns me to a root prompt within a second or two. i also tried -phigh
[04:19] <r3dux> smbclient //<IP_ADDRESS>/Share -U r3dux2 / Enter r3dux2's password: / Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.0] / tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME
[04:19] <r3dux> So close :D
[04:19] <YouMust> Dr_Willis, thankyou its ext2 is that ok?
[04:19] <iceroot> poi77: the problem is you dont have user-login just access controlling for ip-adresses (with nfs less then v4)
[04:20] <silverPan> zetheroo: not trying to avoid directly answering your question... but i use usb-creator without a hitch.  it's in the repositories.... don't forget to make sure your bios is set to boot the drive.
[04:20] <poi77> iceroot: Thanks, but can you explain in simpler terms?
[04:20] <Dr_Willis> YouMust:  you use the prioper chmod/chown command to set the permissions of the files/directories. chmod/chowning the /media/whatever mountpoint will change the  ownership of the 'root' of the drive. but not all the drive
[04:20] <mOOey> also the pendrive apps work great for setting up a persistent casper-rw on a usb drive
[04:20] <iceroot> poi77: its it just for a private network?
[04:20] <poi77> iceroot: No its over the internet
[04:21] <iceroot> poi77: hm
[04:21] <poi77> iceroot: Sorry?
[04:21] <YouMust> Dr_Willis: so it would be best just to make a directory on that device and use that ?
[04:21] <mordof> the libnotify .. notification popup - is there a way to configure the offset for it? it's way in the middle of my screen (just upgraded to 9.10 from 9.04)
[04:21] <iceroot> poi77: and who should access the nfs-share?
[04:22] <silverPan> poi77: do you just need to access files on a linux server remotely? i use KFTP
[04:22] <poi77> iceroot: Only me
[04:22] <iceroot> poi77: static ip?
[04:22] <Dr_Willis> YouMust:  thats what i always do
[04:22] <zetheroo> silverPan: will try that one out .. and yes the boot device is set to USB first
[04:22] <silverPan> poi77: it will handle SSH/SCP protocols... i also use DyDNS
[04:22] <poi77> iceroot: On my desktop (in the office), yes. On my home PC (the one accessing the files), no
[04:22] <YouMust> Dr_Willis: sounds fine too me :D thx
[04:22] <Dr_Willis> YouMust:  sudo mkdir UsersStuff    then 'sudo chown user.user UsersStuff' Or somthing like that
[04:22] <mOOey> there should be a channel for usb installs ;-)
[04:23] <terrorink> how do i set up the ctrl alt backspace kill x server ?
[04:23] <pepperjack> poi77: just setup samba its like 3 lines is smb.conf :)
[04:23] <iceroot> poi77: then nfs is not a good idea, because its hard to manage the login-process if not using nfsv4
[04:23] <poi77> silverPan: SSH/SCP (at least the gui) does not really mount, so some software can't access files
[04:23] <johntramp> can i install ubuntu from a usb stick using dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb ?
[04:23] <Dr_Willis> johntramp:  No. that wont work
[04:23] <iceroot> poi77: maybe have a look at sshfs
[04:23] <johntramp> ok
[04:23] <mOOey> johntramp: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-ubuntu-9-10-live-usb-in-windows/
[04:23] <pepperjack> q
[04:23] <r3dux> terrorink - you can do it, but you could also just do Right-CTRL+PrntScrn+K to do the same thing
[04:23] <iceroot> poi77: or cifs (user login instead of ip-login)
[04:23] <Dr_Willis> johntramp:  you can set up grub2 to boot an iso file. :) thats close..
[04:24] <YouMust> Dr_Willis can i get a group to bea ble to read the folder
[04:24] <silverPan> poi77: mount over internet is REALLY risky if there is a chance for disconnects.
[04:24] <Dr_Willis> YouMust:  proberly can. I rareluy mess with groups.  Small home lans here.
[04:24] <johntramp> Dr_Willis: i think i am only using grub1
[04:24] <poi77> iceroot: Do any of these allow mounting?
[04:24] <nanotube> about my earlier question about usb-creator: i upgraded to jaunty's version of usb-creator (i'm on intrepid), and then it recognized my usb hdd without any trouble. so... for future reference. :)
[04:25] <terrorink> how do i set up the ctrl alt backspace kill x server ? im on 9.04
[04:25] <poi77> silverPan: Thanks, in what sense is it risky (security, data loss, crashes?)
[04:25] <mOOey> nanotube: awesome
[04:25] <silverPan> poi77: what are you trying to accomplish... a mount may not be needed?
[04:25] <mOOey> I know how frustrating it is!
[04:25] <iceroot> poi77: yes, cifs and sshfs can be mounted
[04:25] <monra> Hello. When I click the key "\" in my Ubuntu I get a "GNOME Terminal Help" instead of the key. So I cannot write this key only if I close X. Any ideas why is this happening or how to fix it?
[04:25] <johntramp> Dr_Willis: i am sure i did something similar when installing archlinux from a usb stick
[04:25] <Dr_Willis> !dontzap | terrorink
[04:25] <silverPan> poi77: yeah, imagine a newb hot swap.... jerk cord... re-insert cord?!?!  I can connect to any unsecured network, but I can't connect to anything with WPA, WEP, PEAP, anything
[04:26] <terrorink> im in 9.04 not 9.10
[04:26] <terrorink> yea dontzap works for 9.10
[04:26] <teleri> on UNR 9.10 on a Acer Aspire D250 and two-Finger scrolling does not work even when enabled
[04:26] <terrorink> it even says for 9.10 and higher
[04:26] <r3dux> RightCTRL+PrintScrn+K does the same thing. terror - dontzap works on both.
[04:26] <r3dux> sudo apt-get install dontzap
[04:26] <Dr_Willis> dontzap is for 9.04 = Jaunty I think
[04:27] <terrorink> well i just pressed it like 5 times holding all down and it dont work
[04:27] <r3dux> reboot 1st.
[04:27] <poi77> silverPan: I need to be able to access files from programs that do not appear to support Ubuntu's sftp://... system
[04:27] <terrorink> i tried dontzap it just restarts x
[04:27] <terrorink> it doesnt kill to terminal
[04:27] <gourd_captain1> How do I install sound juicer in Xubuntu 9.10 without it installing PulseAudio as well?
[04:27] <poi77> silverPan: i.e., those directories cannot be accesed
[04:27] <Dr_Willis> terrorink:  thats because gdm is restarting.. it DID  kill X. and gdm respanws it like its set up to.
[04:27] <r3dux> It just restarts X? Tat what Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is supposed to do? What did you expect to happen?
[04:27] <Whompapotamus> any vsftpd supports in here tonight... have an error that i can
[04:27] <Dr_Willis> terrorink:  if you want no X going.. stop the gdm service
[04:28] <Whompapotamus> can't quite solve
[04:28] <iceroot> !details | Whompapotamus
[04:28] <terrorink> ok is there a shortcut command to kill x ?
[04:28] <downgrade> what day today?
[04:28] <Dr_Willis> terrorink:  stop the gdm service...
[04:28] <silverPan> poi77: i see what your are saying.  hang on a sec, i've been researching this issue for our office...
[04:28] <r3dux> If you want no X going, boot to a different runlevel
[04:28] <terrorink> i wanna be able to do it on command :\
[04:28] <Billiard> terrorink: sudo service gdm stop
[04:28] <iceroot> r3dux: ubuntu is not using different runlevels like suse
[04:28] <Dr_Willis> terrorink:  then bind the command to stop gdm to some key combo,.
[04:29] <Dr_Willis> 'gksu service stop'
[04:29] <poi77> silverPan: thanks!
[04:29] <Dr_Willis> terrorink:  this is linux.. of course you can do that. :)
[04:29] <Dr_Willis> 'linux - Your OS - Your Way'
[04:29] <r3dux> My understanding was that all linux distros use runlevels, and you could boot to runlevel 1 by modifying your grub line, for the easiest way
[04:29] <Dr_Willis> 'once you figure out how'
[04:29] <keth802> i am using ubuntu 9.10 on an old hp pavillion ze5300 laptop. the wireless card works perfectly and i can connect to unsecured networks, however i can't connect to my home network because it's secured. Help?
[04:30] <Dr_Willis> r3dux:  ubuntu dosent use the sysv system  like others do.. runlevels are not  quite the same as they used to be years ago.
[04:30] <alankila> r3dux: runlevels are no longer user servicable parts, really. System uses them to reboot and shut down, and there is single user mode at runlevel 1, for certain emergencies and administrative tasks
[04:30] <terrorink> mm is there anyway to make it work without pass ?
[04:30] <Whompapotamus> I have a question with SSL for vsftpd - i have created my config file correctly and can connect on my local host and LAN... but receive this error when trying to connect via internet: 234 Proceed with negotiation.
[04:30] <Whompapotamus> ftp: SSL_connect error error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0)
[04:30] <Whompapotamus> : Success
[04:30] <r3dux> Guess I'm behind the times - thanks for hitting me with the clue-stick :)
[04:30] <Dr_Willis> terrorink:  read up on the 'sudoers' file. and set it where the user dosent need the pass for that command. is one way
[04:30] <Billiard> terrorink: could put a line in the sudoers file so that command does not need a pass
[04:31] <terrorink> ok where is it ?
[04:31] <Dr_Willis> I cant imagine why someone would need to 'kill X to the console' often enoggh to justify a keybinding, no password'
[04:31] <terrorink> directory ?
[04:31] <Dr_Willis> terrorink:  start with 'man sudoers' and read up on sudoers configuration.
[04:31] <alankila> and doesn't GDM have a console login option hidden somewhere?
[04:31] <iceroot> terrorink: /etc/sudoers
[04:31] <Dr_Willis> terrorink:  and thers no need to msg me..
[04:32] <i_is_broke> how hard is wubi to install?
[04:32] <r3dux> I've had to move out of X to install graphics drivers before, but by going to TTY1 (ctrl-alt-f1?), kill gdm, install driver, back to tty7, start gdm
[04:32] <iceroot> i_is_broke: not hard
[04:32] <Dr_Willis> alankila:  i forget. :) it doable.  you could make a gdm session that does 'sudo service gdm stop' :)
[04:32] <zetheroo> silverPan: usb-creator is the default Ubuntu utility for this ... so its not working for me
[04:32] <i_is_broke> im not able to partition this hard drive as my mother in law doesnt know much about computers and it would confuse her.
[04:32] <alankila> Dr_Willis: no, I think there is some kind of temporary console login option somewhere in the GDM menus... or there used to be. I am not inclined to look right now because I'm logged in X right now
[04:32] <iceroot> r3dux: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop is nicer then kill gdm
[04:32] <mOOey> zetheroo: what build are you trying to install?
[04:33] <Dr_Willis> i_is_broke:  i would suggest trying it in  virtualbox. I personally hate wubi. :)
[04:33] <gp__> merry chrismas
[04:33] <alankila> iceroot: but no longer really recommendable -- some /etc/init.d/foo no longer do anything... you have to use the service command...
[04:33] <r3dux> iceroot, this is true - I might have done that, it was a while ago :)
[04:33] <Heth> Hi! I just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and I don't see my SSID anymore. I see others tho. I use channel 13, any hints?
[04:33] <gp__>  hello I just updraded to karmic koala and its able to set the display resolutio
[04:33] <iceroot> alankila: changed in 9.10?
[04:33] <i_is_broke> Dr_Willis, i agree, but dont know if this computer will even run vbox ill have to look into the specs of it.
[04:33] <alankila> iceroot: in fact, yes.
[04:33] <gp__> when i restarted it said ur booting low graphic mode and then was not able set my screen resolution
[04:33] <gp__> [09:49] <gp> it was working perfectly in kubuntu draper
[04:33] <gp__> [09:51] <gp> My system is Hp proliant ML110
[04:33] <iceroot> alankila: hm, ok, i am still on hardy
[04:34] <pepperjack> i_is_broke: you can always hide the boot menu so she always  boots win by default and just hit esc key to get menu and choose ubuntu ;)
[04:34] <gp__> and Display is Sansung SyncMaster 940 BW -> 19 inch with 1400 X900 display
[04:34] <keth802> i need some internet help. I can't connect to secured networks. I have ubuntu 9.10 and i know the wireless card is working because i can connect to unsecured networks. help please?
[04:34] <Heth> Hi! I just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and I don't see my wireless SSID anymore. I see others tho. I use channel 13, any hints?
[04:34] <gp__> and Display is Sansung SyncMaster 940 BW -> 19 inch with 1400 X900 display
[04:34] <gp__>  hello I just updraded to karmic koala and its able to set the display resolutio
[04:34] <iceroot> !repeat | Heth
[04:34] <i_is_broke> pepperjack, thanks i didnt think about that.
[04:34] <zetheroo> mOOey: any .. does not make a diff ... the HDD is not bootable
[04:34] <i_is_broke> how much memory would ubuntu need to run half way smooth?
[04:35] <pepperjack> keth802: id check ubuntu forums first by searching for your wireless card.  if its wpa that doesnt work its probably just a driver problem and.. you may be able to use the windows driver instead
[04:35] <gp__> is INTEL GRAPHIC BUG IN KARMIC KOALA
[04:35] <i_is_broke> it only has 1 gig of mem.
[04:35] <silverPan> poi77: iceroot had the best recommendation with sshfs... i dont know how it handles disconnects... be sure to read up on this... everything else i have looked into has been third party solutions.
[04:35] <r3dux> Heth - that's really odd... Tried rebooting your router to make sure it's actually up, running and broadcasting - I don't see how a channel change would be responsible
[04:35] <gp__> i am unable to set resolution
[04:35] <mOOey> gp__: in gnome?
[04:35] <Heth> r3dux, I had the same problem before, not seeing 11-13 wireless channels.
[04:35] <r3dux> Heth - I would install backports though, just incase
[04:35] <silverPan> poi77: for important files, i usually sync, and then just use the file locally, then re-sync.
[04:35] <gp__> in kubuntu and gnome
[04:35] <Heth> r3dux, installed everything up to now
[04:36] <poi77> iceroot: Does sshfs need to be installed on the remote machine?
[04:36] <iceroot> poi77: yes, its not there by default
[04:36] <gp__> it alaways says low reslotion graphic
[04:36] <r3dux> Heth, I had to drop my wireless channels down for my Wii to see the network - could you not try dropping the channel down from the router?
[04:36] <gp__> HELP ME PL
[04:36] <iceroot> poi77: on server you have to install openssh-server  on client you have to install sshfs
[04:36] <Heth> r3dux, the fix in 9.04 was to add a line to /etc/modprobe.d/options but this file does not exist anymore
[04:36] <gp__> is INTEL GRAPHIC BUG STILL IN KARMIC KOALA?
[04:36] <poi77> iceroot: Thank you very much
[04:36] <iceroot> poi77: you are welcome
[04:36] <r3dux> Heth - you could try it..
[04:36] <silverPan> poi77, iceroot: i thought sshfs was a local client that connected to the servers sshd?
[04:37] <Heth> r3dux, the problem is I cannot change my channels cause I have not access to it :/
[04:37] <iceroot> silverPan: correct
[04:37] <gp__>  hello I just updraded to karmic koala and its UNABLE to set the display resolutio
[04:37] <poi77> silverPan: what is sunc
[04:37] <downgrade> gp__: I'm downgrade to 9.04 right now, don't sentimental.
[04:37] <i_is_broke> im going to try vbox with lxde with 500 megs of ram i think it will run pretty descent like that..will let you know more when i get to that bridge.

[04:37] <poi77> silverPan: sync, sorry
[04:37] <zetheroo> does anyone know how to make the GRUB menu not show on boot?
[04:37] <gp__> WTF
[04:37] <poi77> silverPan: Thanks!
[04:37] <iceroot> zetheroo: grub 1 or 2?
[04:37] <freeksh0w86> i'm having trouble syncing a 4g 8g black iPod in rhythmbox... the songs show up in rhythmbox but not the iPod. i'm on ubuntu 9.10 btw
[04:37] <zetheroo> 2
[04:38] <zetheroo> iceroot: 2
[04:38] <r3dux> Heth, ahh... that's no good... Have your tried adding in the line you added before?
[04:38] <freeksh0w86> *4th-generation 8G ipod sorry
[04:38] <TangentCollision> I would like to know what window manager and configuration that ubuntu netbook remix uses?
[04:38] <TangentCollision> -?
[04:38] <iceroot> !grub2 | zetheroo
[04:38] <silverPan> iceroot: i see.... do you have a much experience with sshfs? been through some disconnects at rather inopportune times?  O_o
[04:38] <poi77> iceroot: thanks!
[04:38] <freeksh0w86> !ipod
[04:38] <gp__> I have tried every thing its low working in low resolution
[04:38] <iceroot> silverPan: no, sorry
[04:38] <Heth> r3dux, yes. but since the file is missing I suppose the config is moved somewhere else, do you know where?
[04:38] <iceroot> silverPan: never had ones
[04:38] <bastidrazor> !nbr | TangentCollision check here
[04:38] <silverPan> iceroot: pooh... i will have to test it out then.
[04:39] <iceroot> silverPan: yes try it, its nice
[04:39] <downgrade> gp__: what kind brand type?
[04:39] <silverPan> iceroot, poi77: sounds VERY promising
[04:39] <alankila> Heth: you can probably just make something like "options.conf" and it will just pick it up automatically.
[04:39] <iceroot> gp__: what graphic card?
[04:39] <r3dux> Heth - "locate modprobe.d"
[04:39] <gp__> intel
[04:39] <PC_Nerd101> Hi - regarding bug #156652, it says its been fixed and the patch released, but the current version of apt-cacher is still 1.6.8 instead of 1.6.9 - which is the version in which the debian bug repository states is the stable/fixed version.... does anyone know when the patch will be released?
[04:40] <Heth> alankila, on the original it's only "options" and it did not work
[04:40] <gp__> iceroot: intel
[04:40] <alankila> Heth: that's how modprobe.d stuff is supposed to work, anyway... independent configuration files.
[04:40] <downgrade> gp__: intel 945?
[04:40] <alankila> Heth: I'm not sure about the suffix, but the other files in that directory all end in .conf, so I suggest yours do as well.
[04:41] <Heth> alankila, thanks I'll try that now :)
[04:41] <alankila> Heth: there is some sensitivity to the exact name because old files are left around with names like foo.conf.dpkg-old and it's undesirable that they get executed.
[04:41] <kloot> anyone good with networks? I want to share a folder that's going to ask for a password when someone tries to access from a windows system
[04:42] <alankila> Heth: also, as an emergency workaround you should be able to rmmod the module and then modprobe it with the right option so you can always get past this problem even if passing the option automatically didn't work right now...
[04:42] <iceroot> kloot: cifs, smbfs
[04:42] <zetheroo> guys I am getting nowhere with the documentation on grub2 ... does anyone know how to hide the boot menu?
[04:42] <kloot> smbfs? I installed samba, but what is smbfs? I'm an ubuntu noob, sorry :$
[04:42] <r3dux> Set the timer to 0?
[04:43] <woyeuxnowel> yes timer 0
[04:43] <TangentCollision> bastidrazor: dude, I know what the hell it is, but I want to know what desktop enviroment/window manager/themepack UNR uses.
[04:43] <Heth> alankila, mhm. I have a file named "options.dpkg-bak with my old settings.
[04:43] <alankila> Heth: just rename that to options.conf then...
[04:43] <kloot> iceroot: smbfs? I installed samba, but what is smbfs? I'm an ubuntu noob, sorry :$

[04:45] <kloot> iceroot - so any ideas? :(
[04:46] <bastidrazor> TangentCollision: dude, possibly the site was going to give some more information about what you wanted.  I guess you using google to look is a bit too intense and straining. good luck.

[04:55] <Spence> r3dux, I can't figure out how to make a new partition. what i want to do, is make the partition i'm using for ubuntu smaller so i can install windows so i can dual boot.. but again, i cant figure out how to re partition everything and make my main partition smaller.
[04:55] <r3dux> Maybe through lsmod?
[04:55] <alankila> Heth: don't know, sadly. Try to rmmod the module and modprobe it in right after
[04:55] <alankila> might work, might not

[05:02] <mOOey> mordof:  http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=<IP_ADDRESS>.5&lang=English
[05:02] <silverPan> Spence: don't know if you've figured this out yet.
[05:02] <freeksh0w86> !ipod
[05:02] <r3dux> silverpan - he had the drive mounted, I told him to boot from a live CD so he can modify the partition, should be fine.
[05:03] <mordof> mOOey: i can't use that driver
[05:03] <mordof> mOOey: there's a reason i need catalyst 9.3
[05:03] <Real_Christmas> How much bandwith and powerful server do I have to use to let say for example 100, 1000 or 10 000 people shall use my servers as "proxy-servers" for watching youtube videos, chatt, visit ordinary web pages (Facebook, Flickr etc)? They will not be allowed to use BitTorrent or other P2P services?
[05:03] <silverPan> redux:  okies! :)
[05:04] <mOOey> sorry - don't know mordof
[05:04] <mordof> mOOey: i have an x1950xtx card.. considered legacy now *sighs*.. latest catalyst support is 9.3, and they don't update for support of newer xserver updates anymore
[05:04] <cwillu_at_work> Real_Christmas, if you're allowing http, you can't deny p2p
[05:04] <r00t_> how do i use wget to download photbucket albums?
[05:04] <r3dux> Real_Christmas - A lot. I used to set my website to be used as a proxy for boingboing.net (because it was blocked in many countries) - I can give you the script if you'd like
[05:04] <mordof> even in 9.04 i had to downgrade many packages and lock them in order to install fglrx from 9.3
[05:04]  * mordof sighs.
[05:04] <cwillu_at_work> unless you have a magical way of telling normal http traffic from p2p tunnelled over http
[05:05] <mordof> wonderful... no more 3D support for linux -.-;
[05:05] <cwillu_at_work> mordof, complain to ati to get their drivers packaged for modern x servers
[05:05] <krishmish> any one help me with ncsa auth
[05:05] <mordof> cwillu_at_work: does that have ANY hope of working? lol
[05:06] <alankila> mordof: "don't buy ATI" is an old saying in these parts.
[05:06] <cwillu_at_work> mordof, nvidia does a good job, given that they're still stuck in the proprietary mindrut
[05:06] <PC_Nerd101> any information about the release o apt-cacher 1.6.9 - there is a bug fix in that version that was said to be released to ubuntu repositories - but the debian patch was 1.6.9 not 1.6.8 which is in the ubuntu repo's.... any ieas
[05:06] <r3dux> ATI is okay. NVidia is better for linux these days, but you can still get ATI stuff working, given time
[05:06] <mOOey> btw that's a great question - what IS a good vid card co. to buy for linux?
[05:06] <cwillu_at_work> also, you might try the open ati driver, support has been getting quite a bit better lately
[05:06] <alankila> I'm screwed too because I have ATI X1250 on this laptop. After a year of very poor 3d, the open-source radeonhd is better, but the screen seems to jerk downwards randomly and has always done that.
[05:07] <sebsebseb> !hardware
[05:07] <alankila> fglrx stopped supporting my card almost instantly because the "open source driver" was free enough. Bah.
[05:07] <alankila> err... was good enough
[05:07] <mordof> alankila: i do know of a solution to get older fglrx drivers working.. but it may limit some newer apps that depend on the later xserver versions
[05:07] <Heth> Need help on using wireless on channel 13. SSIDs are not scanned
[05:07] <mordof> available to you if you don't need the newer versions and are free to downgrade
[05:08] <r3dux> If I was buying a new machine, I think I'd favour NVid, but not my much, only because I'm willing to put in the time to fix it up nicely, and because I mainly use a XBox 360 for gaming anyway ;)
[05:08] <mordof> cwillu_at_work: open driver?
[05:08] <Jamed> alankila: i had the same problem with my X1600, they just dropped the support :(
[05:08] <cwillu_at_work> mordof, well, the default
[05:08] <alankila> mordof: yes, I suppose. In practice radeonhd is good enough for me, not worth the hassle. I just live with screen jerking every now and then
[05:08] <Heth> alankila, sadly this module is no longer used. they use CRDA now which is not working for me for some reason
[05:08] <r3dux> Also, if you really wanted to game - wouldn't you just boot into windows?
[05:08] <alankila> Heth: ow, that complicated matters, I guess
[05:08] <mordof> cwillu_at_work: horrid 3D support. trying to run gnome-shell
[05:08]  * cwillu_at_work patiently waits for the days of proper ati-developed open drivers
[05:08] <mordof> r3dux: 3D support isn't always for gaming
[05:08] <mOOey> I keep hearing nvidia is about .05" away from bankruptcy though
[05:08] <Heth> alankila, indeed.
[05:09] <r3dux> I've tried steam on linux via Wine, and it's been pretty nasty
[05:09] <mOOey> not sure I wanna take that gamble with them right now
[05:09] <cwillu_at_work> r3dux, and no, I'd boot into the 1.2beta of tremulous and play that instead
[05:09] <sebsebseb> mOOey: Nivida have the best graphics card support or so it seems.  Also those bot hardware links above, might help.
[05:09] <r3dux> boot into tremulous?
[05:09] <r3dux> I really don't know what you mean, sorry! :)
[05:09] <mOOey> yea, thank you sebsebseb - I loaded them and am looking right now
[05:09] <Heth> Need help on using wireless on channel 13. SSIDs are not scanned
[05:09] <mordof> i just want to try out gnome-shell -.-;
[05:09] <mordof> stupid ati
[05:10] <dto> anyone get a wacom bamboo pen tablet working in Ubuntu Karmic?
[05:10] <sebsebseb> mOOey: ok np
[05:12] <r00t_> how do i use wget to download photbucket albums?
[05:12] <r3dux> mordof - 3D Support goes into two camps: OpenGL and Direct3D - if you need 3D in linux it has to point to OpenGL - and what other use asides from gaming did you have in mind?
[05:12] <mordof> r3dux: gnome-shell, compiz, etc
[05:12] <mordof> r3dux: like i said, there's more to better vid card support than JUST gaming
[05:13] <r3dux> I use compiz, not tried gnome-shell - and I wasn't saying there wasn't, mordof - I was humbly asking what you had in mind.
[05:13] <mordof> ah
[05:14] <mordof> i had heard gnome-shell was based around JS/CSS support.. and i'm decent in those areas, so it would've been cool to get a chance to make stuff for it
[05:14] <Heth> Need help on using wireless on channels out of 1-11 range. (non-US) can't see my SSID at home
[05:14] <mordof> gnome-shell is sooo slow as it is
[05:15] <mOOey> I'd just like to get that aero thing goin on this dell 600m laptop, but my graphics memory isn't detected so I default to the low res (which is still perfectly acceptable)
[05:15] <teleri> on UNR 9.10 on a Acer Aspire D250 and two-Finger scrolling does not work even when enabled
[05:15] <sebsebseb> mOOey: Aero thing????  Merry Christmas by the way, if you celebrate.
[05:16] <mOOey> thanks seb...yea, you know, the 3-d look (I used aero tongue-in-cheek) - I meant it would be nice to have that capability (which I'd play with for 10 mins and turn off cause it'd eat resources)
[05:16] <krishmish> any one help me with ncsa auth
[05:17] <mOOey> merry christmas to you too! (and everybody!)
[05:17] <soreau> r3dux: I would recommend investing in one of the newer ATI graphics cards. Both drivers for it work well enough for most all linux needs and the open driver is improving by leaps and bounds with the new driver structure that is being written thanks to AMD opening up ATI hardware specs
[05:17] <alankila> soreau: I think I read that as "it currently sucks"
[05:17] <opticon> for ubuntu what can i use to control video card fan speed
[05:17] <opticon> ccc doesnt work
[05:17] <sebsebseb> mOOey: Not everyone that comes here celebrates.  When I think of Aero  I think of Windows.
[05:18] <mOOey> that was what I meant too seb hehe
[05:18] <soreau> alankila: You can read it however you want. The fact is it already works well and only will get better in the future
[05:18] <alankila> always the same mantra about "stuff is improving a lot in every new version". And then, I'd like to add, it gets worse as key pieces get rewritten from scratch and clock goes back a few years and then we're back on the improvement game.
[05:18] <mOOey> you know, all the shadowey edges and the zooming windows, etc
[05:18] <sebsebseb> mOOey: oh
[05:19] <mOOey> it's frustrating sometimes alankila
[05:19] <mOOey> I understand exactly what you mean
[05:19] <Heth> alankila, is there a way I can see a log from modprobe on parsing that line?
[05:19]  * alankila thinks KDE 4 is one of the best examples about what I'm talking about. Nice desktop, and then push the reset button and start over and spend a few years getting most of what used to work working again...
[05:19] <alankila> Heth: you perhaps need a crash course on modutils
[05:19] <alankila> Heth: the options line is useless if there is no module to use the option you painstakingly set up
[05:20] <nathan__> is it possible to run a script just before network manager takes down a device?
[05:20] <Real_Christmas> r3dux: Well, I'm planning to start a company. I have an idea, bur right now I just want to check if it's possible or not. Therefore I ask.
[05:20] <Heth> alankila, I'm still not sure about if it exists or not, that's why i need to see the logs since there should be noted
[05:20] <alankila> Heth: well, try dmesg, maybe it has a clue. Try to lsmod, grep for the module name.
[05:21] <Real_Christmas> cwillu_at_work: Hm, I have to stop "my" users from using programs like DC++, Deluge etc. I cannot afford being responsible for illegal file sharing. Why isn't it possible to stop BitTorrent traffic or DC++ traffic?
[05:22] <cwillu_at_work> Real_Christmas, I'd consider speaking to a lawyer
[05:22] <Jeruvy> Real_Christmas: why not consider content filtering at the DNS?
[05:22] <mOOey> Real_Christmas: it is possible - libraries and schools do it all the time, BUT - the savvy user can usually figure out a way to bypass those censoring tools
[05:22] <cwillu_at_work> Real_Christmas, in principle, unless you're whitelisting sites instead of blacklisting then, and you only whitelist sites that have no holes (intentional or otherwise), you can't prevent it
[05:23] <cwillu_at_work> mOOey, always, not usually
[05:23] <mOOey> heh - ok, always ;-)
[05:24] <Real_Christmas> cwillu_at_work: Actually, I plan to only allow a few sites, like whitelisting 100 most popular web sites, NOT TPB. :)
[05:24] <cwillu_at_work> Real_Christmas, tpb is _not_ your problem
[05:24] <Jamed> Real_Christmas: you could use a proxy that stops every traffic but http, pop3, imap and/or smtp, depending on what is needed to stop bittorrent
[05:24]  * cwillu_at_work grimaces
[05:24] <KB1JWQ> Real_Christmas: What kind of environment is this?  Office, school, etc?
[05:25] <opticon> sounds like application layered firewall would do it
[05:25] <cwillu_at_work> every protocol in the world has a 'tunnel over http' mode for precisely the reason that everyone thinks its "just webpages"
[05:25] <Ozzah> Hi, I have a HDD (/dev/sda) with a bad sector on it, and my RAID card isn't picking it up. I want to do a full wipe of the entire drive, mbr, partition tables, everything. How do I do this in Ubuntu? Thanks :)
[05:25] <Real_Christmas> cwillu_at_work: Why, they need to get the torrent to start using BitTorrent to begin with.
[05:25] <alankila> and logically, we should make a torrent client that is actually just a webpage
[05:25] <cwillu_at_work> Real_Christmas, your understanding of the issues involved is weak :p
[05:26] <opticon> indeed
[05:26] <cwillu_at_work> I talked a friend of mine through getting onto facebook from a fricking prison complex
[05:26] <Guest53746> hey all
[05:26] <cwillu_at_work> (she's an employee, and the administration "locks" such things down)
[05:27] <mOOey> trivial
[05:27]  * alankila has considered writing a javascript decoder for some video format... h.264 could be great to have, but no idea how hard the decoder is, and whether having a javascript file on server counts as distributing a decoder.
[05:27] <cwillu_at_work> Real_Christmas, consider that even dns requests can be used to tunnel information
[05:27] <Real_Christmas> Jamed: I want to allow common Internet use like chat, flash-movie watching, common web sites, mail, but not file sharing becuase it will be to much traffic I think and also it may be illegal.
[05:27] <mordof> Real_Christmas: good luck
[05:27] <mOOey> movie watching isn't bandwidth intensive then?
[05:27] <mOOey> heh
[05:28] <cwillu_at_work> Real_Christmas, mail, flash movies, web sites, they can (and often do) also allow illegal transfers
[05:28] <Jeruvy> Real_Christmas: use gufw to filter all the ports except what you explicitly allow then.  Done.
[05:28] <shubbar> how can i use command line to batch process files in an input-file output-file?
[05:28] <r3dux> Hahaha - sorry, a javascript h.264 encoder? It could be done, but it would be dreadful, and you would need a book the size of War and Peace to understand the protocol. h.264 encoding is not trivial.
[05:28] <mordof> Jeruvy: won't solve it entirely
[05:28] <nathan__> anyone know if it's possible for network manager to call a script before it takes down a device?  I want it to umount some nfs shares before it takes down the interface.
[05:28] <alankila> r3dux: it'sa crazy idea, but I occasionally get them
[05:28] <Billiard> shubbar: what exactly do you want to do?
[05:29] <Jeruvy> mordof: Possibly yes, but what alternative is there?
[05:29] <cwillu_at_work> Real_Christmas, you're set in your ways, so nothing I can say will convince you otherwise
[05:29] <cwillu_at_work> Real_Christmas, but consider, two hours ago you didn't know how to secure a machine for ssh access
[05:29] <r3dux> alankila, if you ever go for it, I'll help. You buy the book, tho :)
[05:29] <Real_Christmas> KB1JWQ: Well, I will try to let ordinary people pay for the service. It's a way to block bad internet use by passing their traffic through my servers.
[05:29] <alankila> r3dux: I'm kind of hoping there would exist some C library that does it, and a line-by-line conversion of that would do the trick.
[05:30] <r3dux> Wouldn't that be delightful? :)
[05:30] <Ozzah> Hi, I have a HDD (/dev/sda) with a bad sector on it, and my RAID card isn't picking it up. I want to do a full wipe of the entire drive, mbr, partition tables, everything. How do I do this in Ubuntu? Thanks :)
[05:30] <mordof> Real_Christmas: put a disclaimer on your usage and make them sign a waiver saying you're not responsible for the content viewed/downloaded
[05:30] <KB1JWQ> Real_Christmas: You're a service provider?!
[05:30] <shubbar> Billiard, i am using mencoder to conver an mkv file to avi. i want to modify the command to convert all the mkv file in a directory
[05:30] <mordof> Real_Christmas: or rather, that they're responsible
[05:30] <Pelo> Ozzah, start gparted and make a new partition table
[05:31] <Jamed> Real_Christmas: you should take a look at squid, it can stop traffic of certain protocols. i am unaware about the specifics though
[05:31] <Guest53746> if it helps among other things Vuze can play mkv's along with vlc i think
[05:31] <Real_Christmas> KB1JWQ: No, not a service provider, but I'm planning to be like a filtering ISP, using proxy servers to filter their traffic from unwanted material.
[05:31] <shubbar> Billiard, wildcards work with input, but i don't know what to use for output
[05:31] <alankila> r3dux: my sole motivation here is that there was a lot of whining about what should be part of HTML5, so it's logical that you just write javascript decoders and forget about what is inside the browser and what not. Given how fast javascript is these days, you could probably decode some of the codecs already.
[05:31] <r3dux> Speaking of Squid, Ubuntu 9.10 runs it automatically by default. WHY? I don't need a proxy server by default, who does?
[05:32] <r3dux> Stopped that happening.
[05:32] <Ozzah> Pelo: That will put a partition table on the drive - how can I wipe the whole drive so that it's blank afterwards, i.e. no partition table, no MBR
[05:32] <Billiard> shubbar: something like 'for each vid in *.mkv; do mencoder "$vid" options "$vid.avi"; done'
[05:32] <Guest53746> @Ozzah use gparted it will do that
[05:32] <Billiard> shubbar: sorry no each
[05:32] <cwillu_at_work> r3dux, squid isn't installed by default
[05:33] <Pelo> Real_Christmas, you might want to look into a ubuntu derivative that used to be called ubuntu christian edition,  I think they changed the name however, it was loaded with everyting you can think of in terms of parental control over internet stuff and such,  you would probably find something in there that would allow you to restrict access the way you want
[05:33] <Guest53746> @Ozzah Pm me i can tell you, here is busy with net stuff atm
[05:33] <mordof> alankila: true.  though that depends on how you write them. there are a lot of optimized methods that get changed over to faster code backend with js.
[05:33] <Real_Christmas> I know I have too little knowledge of this today, but it's just a plan. I am not going to start this tomorrow. I have to learn a lot more but it's interesting having an idea.
[05:33] <nathan__> You can also use find with -exec to execute commands based on file names that find finds.
[05:33] <Pelo> Ozzah, putting a new partition table on the drive will , to all intents and purposes,  whipe your hdd clean
[05:33] <shubbar> Billiard, vid here is a dummy argument ?
[05:33] <r3dux> Billiard, I did some shell coding that does interesting stuff here: http://r3dux.org/?p=439
[05:33] <r3dux> cwillu - well I didn't install it, and it was running...
[05:34] <mOOey> Ozzah: a big magnet
[05:34] <camelopard_s6> Hey folks. I am seeking info on enabling Shift Ctrl Backspace in Ubuntu 9.04. Could anyone help? I am trying to install Ion.
[05:34] <Billiard> shubbar: what do you mean dummy argument?
[05:34] <mOOey> Pelo: not true
[05:34] <r3dux> camel : sudo apt-get install dontzap
[05:35] <cwillu_at_work> r3dux, dontzap depends on squid
[05:35] <r3dux> ?
[05:35] <cwillu_at_work> oops, wrong zap
[05:35] <cwillu_at_work> was just browsing the list of dependencies and saw a zap at the same time you said that :p
[05:35] <KB1JWQ> !zap
[05:36] <cwillu_at_work> that said, there's nothing that would cause it to get pulled in that I can see, it's probably a dependency of something you installed
[05:36] <mOOey> Ozzah: go get this
[05:36] <Real_Christmas> Backtrack may be nice to control traffic instead of Ubuntu Christian Edition?
[05:36] <mOOey> Ozzah: http://www.dban.org/
[05:36] <mordof> karmic notification bubble.. it's y offset is like 150xp from the top, anyone know how to reposition it to where it should be - at the top right of the screen?
[05:36] <shubbar> Billiard, i mean it will be replaced with the name of the file in each run
[05:36] <camelopard_s6> r3dux thanks, reading re: that.
[05:36] <r3dux> cwillu_at_work, that's pretty odd - but perfectly plausible. I really, REALLY didn't install it, but had to disable it.
[05:36] <jtaji> !dontzap | camelopard_s6
[05:36] <mOOey> backtrack requires you have a working knowledge of the apps they provide for you in their distro
[05:36] <cwillu_at_work> r3dux, apt-get remove squid, it'll tell you what depended on it
[05:37] <camelopard_s6> :)
[05:37] <r3dux> Surly it'll also remove it
[05:37] <sin> :)
[05:37] <cwillu_at_work> r3dux, but suffice to say I have a dozen machines in front of me running karmic, that don't have squid installed :p
[05:37] <shubbar> Billiard, i will try this on a different command, since mencoder takes a long time in each run
[05:37] <pepperjack> is there a way to mark a internet radio stream as a 'favorite' or something in rythmbox?
[05:37] <Billiard> shubbar: yes
[05:37] <cwillu_at_work> r3dux, only if you hit yes :p
[05:37] <r3dux> haha
[05:37] <Billiard> shubbar: replace mencoder with echo
[05:37] <cwillu_at_work> r3dux, zope?
[05:37] <mordof> r3dux: just installed 9.10, squid is not installed
[05:37] <camelopard_s6> Christian Edition should include the /cross script which does echo cross
[05:38] <r3dux> mordof - where the hell did that come from then!?! =D
[05:38] <mOOey> ohboy ;-)
[05:38] <mordof> no idea, lol
[05:38] <r3dux> lol
[05:38]  * Guest1287 .
[05:38] <cwillu_at_work> r3dux, you seem to want to be in a state of amazement, because you can find out how it got installed quite easily ;p
[05:38] <Jamed> camelopard_s6: that sounds like a very useful feature :D
[05:38] <mordof> grrr
[05:38] <camelopard_s6> Maybe with some ANSI and chrome
[05:38] <mordof> my notification bubble is starting to annoy me
[05:39] <r3dux> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
[05:39] <r3dux> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[05:39] <r3dux> I'll find and kill it later.
[05:39] <mordof> cwillu_at_work: :o how?
[05:39] <cwillu_at_work> mordof, it's where its supposed to be;  critical messages go in that reserved spot, so that messages don't have to be juggled around while being displayed, while also preventing them from getting crowded out by more important messages
[05:39] <camelopard_s6> Jamed, my Ubuntu is already Christian, with a help of some water
[05:39] <r3dux> I just think it's amusing I ended up with squid installed when I didn't ask for it at any point ever.
[05:39] <cwillu_at_work> mordof, that said, it might get fixed at some point :p
[05:40] <mordof> cwillu_at_work: so i can't ever have regular notifications at the top of my screen anymore? it worked fine in 9.04...
[05:40] <mordof> i upgraded, and now it's permanently offset down ... in the way.. *cries*
[05:40] <Ozzah> Ok I found the answer. All I needed to type was: sudo wipe /dev/sda
[05:40] <cwillu_at_work> r3dux, get over yourself.  You also never asked to have libgtk2.0-0 to be installed, and yet there it is, installed! :p
[05:40] <cwillu_at_work> mordof, file a bug
[05:40] <mOOey> Ozzah: how thoroughly does that partition need to be cleaned?
[05:40] <om26er> mordof, you can use default gnome notifications by removing notify-osd
[05:41] <teleri> errrrrrragg
[05:41] <teleri> oops, sorry
[05:41] <r3dux> cwillu - okay, but surely libgtk is to do with windows, while squid is a http proxy server.
[05:41] <mordof> i think it already is using default gnome notifications
[05:41] <cwillu_at_work> r3dux, and you installed something that felt it needed a proxy server.   I installed something that felt it needed a proxy server!
[05:42] <mOOey> ah k
[05:42] <om26er> mordof, for that desktop effects need to be started
[05:42] <mordof> ah
[05:42] <Ozzah> mOOey: otherwise it thinks it doesn't have enough space to rebuild the array
[05:42] <shubbar> Billiard, it just gives me ">" and i press ctrl-c to exit
[05:42] <mOOey> understood - I thought you needed a secure wipe
[05:42] <r3dux> cwillu, say "What" again. I dare you. I double-dare you.
[05:42] <cwillu_at_work> r3dux, What?
[05:42] <r3dux> lol
[05:42] <om26er> !ot
[05:43] <mOOey> sheesh
[05:43] <cwillu_at_work> r3dux, seriously.  zgrep squid /var/log/dpkg*, check the dependencies in synaptic or aptitude or apt or whatever
[05:43] <Billiard> shubbar: what did you try?
[05:44] <mordof> om26er: right.. just turned on the regular desktop effects, and it looks fancy now, lol
[05:45] <shubbar> Billiard, sorry, it worked. i forgot ";done" on the first try
[05:45] <r3dux> cwillu - I think it was when I installed GADMIN-TOOLS to admin a FTP server.
[05:46] <r3dux> You're right, I'm wrong - good on ya.
[05:46] <r3dux> squid does NOT get installed by default.
[05:46] <osast> vi /etc/vsftpd.conf # ftp admining
[05:46] <grkblood13> whats a good prog to convert mkv to dvd
[05:46] <Roasted> hey guys - I have a disk that dual boots XP and Kubuntu, and I fired up my Ubuntu LiveCD to use GParted because I want to maximize my XP partition to use up the remaining 75gb unallocated space at the end of the disk. But I CANNOT get GParted to play nice. Is there anything special I should know when maximizing HDD space?
[05:47] <shubbar> Billiard, the "$name" has the name and extension
[05:47] <lightsped> hello everyone.  got a total newb question.  What do I need to do to play a DVD?
[05:47] <MenZa> grkblood13: Handbrake normally plays nice with video conversion.
[05:47] <MenZa> !dvd | lightsped
[05:47] <shubbar> Billiard, thanks
[05:47] <Pelo> cwillu_at_work, I figured out why I had no sound , because I 'M an idiot,  I was suppose to adduser to audio,  not to sound
[05:47] <Billiard> shubbar: yes it does in the example i gave
[05:47] <MenZa> lightsped: First link should tell you what you want. :)
[05:47] <lightsped> thanks!
[05:47] <grkblood13> handbrake takes forever
[05:47] <Programmador> vlc works for most things
[05:47] <Billiard> shubbar: that can be removed with something like ${name%.*}.avi
[05:47] <KB1JWQ> grkblood13: No, data conversion takes forever. :-)
[05:47] <Programmador> dvd im sure is in there
[05:48] <MenZa> Programmador: It's all a matter of installing codecs, and Totem will do it nicely.
[05:48] <phearret> transmageddon transcoder might do it
[05:49] <osast> Roasted, where is the windows partition on the disk?
[05:49] <Roasted> osast - at the front.
[05:49] <Programmador> @Menza that works too
[05:50] <Roasted> osast - 60gb NTFS, 1gb SWAP, 15gb EXT4 Kubuntu. Then I have 75gb unallocated. I want to combine the existing 60gb NTFS with the 75gb unallocated, pushing swap/ext4 back.
[05:50] <nithin> guys, merry christmas
[05:50] <mOOey> mOOey christmas!
[05:51] <mobi-sheep> merry christmas, douchbags. :)
[05:51] <KB1JWQ> mobi-sheep: Please keep it civil.
[05:51] <nithin> on my ubuntu carmic, when i tried to install realvnc i got his error of missing lib - libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
[05:51] <nithin> where do i get this?
[05:52] <phearret> there is also mkvmerge .. haven't ran it .. but looks like it can change the output
[05:52] <phearret> and that is an ubun tu pkg
[05:53] <nithin> libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 where do i get this???
[05:53] <Tiders> How can I get my Wacom Bamboo Tablet to work iwth Ubuntu 9.04
[05:54] <jtaji> nithin: why not use a vnc viewer that's already in Ubuntu's repositories, in fact you should already have Apps > Internet > Remote Desktop Viewer installed by default
[05:54] <osast> Roasted, well, not doable if you're using simple partitions, if you're using some kind of windows LVM then it might be
[05:54] <pepperjack> nithin: you could add the lib or cheat and use a symlink to a more current one (not that i recommend that) but i normally just use tightvnc
[05:55] <jtaji> nithin: yeah another good option is xtightvncviewer
[05:55] <Roasted> osast - no kidding? Wow. I could have sworn I did it before...
[05:55] <nithin> jtaji: i have to connect my pc tru my droid phone, i ned realvnc or tightvnc servers listening... tightvnc, after installation show the same runtime error
[05:56] <mobi-sheep> Roasted: I don't know if GParted can allocate NTFS safely without facing problematic issues. Anyway, GParted is a bit tricky or silly, depends on how you see it. To move stuffs around, you work by dragging arrows (stretch or slim).
[05:56] <nithin> pepperjack: i have to connect my pc tru my droid phone, i ned realvnc or tightvnc servers listening... tightvnc, after installation show the same runtime error
[05:56] <jtaji> nithin: ah you need a server... I'd probably try to figure out the error with tightvnc server
[05:57] <dto> has anyone here had success with Wacom Bamboo tablets on Ubuntu?
[05:57] <osast> Roasted, you could move all the partitions around, but that's scary
[05:57] <nithin> jtaji: tightvnc is in repo
[05:57] <jtaji> nithin: it is
[05:57] <Roasted> osast - I could also use clonezilla to back up each partition individually, format the drive, and push each partition and resize it accordingly back to the disk one at a time.
[05:57] <mobi-sheep> Roasted: Best to keep the "queue" list low. People often make few adjustments before the final decisions, and as a result of this, it'll take time... to move around, then repeatedly move around more.
[05:58] <nithin> jtaji: could u reproduce the issue there?
[05:58] <Roasted> mobi-sheep - time doesnt matter. I know... KNOW... I did this with vista before using a linux live CD. I remember it taking forever to do as well.
[05:58] <Roasted> Just a bummer :(
[05:59] <jtaji> nithin: I'm not really set up for that right now, sorry
[05:59] <nithin> jtaji: oops! anyways thanks
[05:59] <nithin> hello can anybody help me with missing libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 problem
[05:59] <mobi-sheep> Roasted: I use 20GB HDD. No need to worry about stuffs. Got other HDD for important/personal stuffs.  Seems to do me well.
[06:00] <nithin> nithin
[06:00] <Roasted> mobi-sheep - its not my computer though. You see, I built 2 rigs for my brothers for christmas. They use XP Pro. I decided to dual boot their systems with kubuntu as well so they had linux there to play with if they wanted.
[06:01] <Roasted> mobi-sheep - the thing is, one hdd is bad, so I had to use a spare... so Im using a 160gb drive for 1, and an 80gb drive for another. I figured i could just clonezilla the 80gb drive to the new replacement 160 when it comes in, but its proving to be impossible.
[06:01] <phearret> for the missing lib issue ... did you try running the apt-get from shell ?
[06:01] <Roasted> mobi-sheep - I know my bros will use XP Pro prodominantly, so I wanted their N TFS partition to be as big as possible. Besides, Linux can read/write NTFS so it worked out if they want to use their NTFS partition for music, pictures, etc.
[06:01] <mobi-sheep> Roasted: Have you see !backup yet?
[06:02] <Roasted> no?
[06:02] <mobi-sheep> !backup | Roasted :)
[06:03] <Jamed> 06:47:14 <          ubottu > lightsped: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information:
[06:03] <Jamed> oops sorry
[06:03] <Roasted> mobi-sheep - Im sorry, maybe Im missing the point. what are you suggesting I do with data backups??
[06:03] <mOOey> clone the 80 gig to the 160 gig
[06:03]  * om26er thinks its silent out here
[06:03] <mobi-sheep> Roasted: Nothing. Just that you make a backup fast.  Its not in use. Thats why Im using an 80gb drive (spare from my shelf) till the RMA comes in for the problematic 160.
[06:04] <Lul> :x
[06:04] <Roasted> mobi-sheep - but like I siad, I wanted to take the 80gb contents, clone it to the 160, and dump it on that drive accordingly. But its useless to do that with 75gb unallocated.....
[06:05] <om26er> Lul: linux wifi drivers never wanted a video accelerator for me
[06:05] <Roasted> mobi-sheep - I guess Ill have to back up each partition individually, then drop the NTFS on the drive, expand it (leaving 16gb unallocated) and then dump the 1gb swap partition and 15gb EXT4 partition back individually.
[06:05] <Lul> What's linux?
[06:05] <om26er> Lul: well well
[06:05] <om26er> !linux | Lul
[06:05] <programmulka> GNU'em all
[06:06] <mobi-sheep> Roasted: I never really had to do backups, but if mOOey know what to do, then take his advice. I like dd or ddrescue. (I never experiment with clonezilla).  It copy bytes for bytes. I'm sure you can Gparted it after you copied it.
[06:07] <Roasted> mobi-sheep - clonezilla uses dd as well, it just gives me the option to back up the entire disc, or back up individual partitions
[06:07] <taygalove> !lynx | taygalove
[06:07] <Roasted> mobi-sheep - clonezilla livecd is VERY nice...
[06:07] <mOOey> I know I'd just boot to xp and use partition magic ;-)

[06:14] <slawcio> mobi-sheep: imo this options it's somewhere in window manager
[06:14] <isolat3dsh33p> guys, where does the source file for an application stored?
[06:14] <chipgeri> to cut a video song from a movie which tool is recommended ?
[06:14] <KB1JWQ> isolat3dsh33p: In most cases you won't have the source installed.
[06:15] <lstarnes> isolat3dsh33p: it depends on how you got it
[06:15] <T--Woody> in src
[06:15] <isolat3dsh33p> KB1JWQ, lstarnes it's a tcl program...
[06:15] <lstarnes> isolat3dsh33p: check dpkg -l packagename
[06:16] <phearret_> -- > m00ey .. got a question
[06:16] <phearret_> my question has to do with the desktop managers, how do you create themes? I can't find enough info on how to..
[06:16] <phearret_> msmarc .. i think it would depend on if the sleep function is enabled / recognized first.
[06:17] <isolat3dsh33p> lstarnes: i'm not sure how to look at the result... but, tcl programs should have the scripts on the harddisk right?
[06:18] <lstarnes> isolat3dsh33p: yes
[06:18] <lstarnes> isolat3dsh33p: the output of that command lists all files contained within the specified package
[06:18] <mOOey> phearret_: you mean like gnomenu themes?
[06:18] <lstarnes> isolat3dsh33p: assuming that that is an installed packag

[06:19] <chu_> I wish it was possible to remove the logo from the menu-bar panel applet :(
[06:20] <holmser> or why it would happen when I try and burn a disc using growisofs?
[06:20] <isolat3dsh33p> lstarnes: dpkg -l didn't list anything besides the package name.. :/
[06:20] <holmser> or brasero or k3b for that matter
[06:20] <lstarnes> isolat3dsh33p: oh, oops.  that should be -L, not -l
[06:20] <mOOey> holmser: is your dvd mounted?
[06:21] <phearret_> m00ey: ok thnx that should get me on the right path.
[06:21] <isolat3dsh33p> lstarnes: =_=
[06:21] <szteto_> Hi, Quick question: is it possible to make some users own a folder, but not others?

[06:35] <gaelfx> so here's a kinda stupid, slightly off-topic question: When you buy a cpu, does it usually ship with a fan, or do you need to buy that separately?

[06:35] <bazhang> IrcSystemError, please stop that
[06:35] <lstarnes> IrcSystemError: I have looked at your paste, if that makes you feel any better
[06:35] <legend2440> gaelfx: i bought mine seperately
[06:35] <lstarnes> IrcSystemError: but I cannot identify the cause of the problem
[06:36] <bazhang> gaelfx, please check in #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:36] <alankila> gaelfx: "boxed" mean with a fan.
[06:36] <pepperjack> gaelfx: a retail processor will an 'oem' wont
[06:36] <pepperjack> gaelfx: check of newegg for example
[06:38] <pepperjack> of/out.  the amd procs have pretty crappy heatsinks and fans these days but they still run cool. unless your overclocking alot you should be ok with the retail heatsink/fan

[06:45] <porter1> Anyone know how to stop the perpetual crashing of sync and mount.ntfs when an external drive is plugged in? It never mounts correctly, and I can't kill mount.ntfs because it sleep in an uninterruptible state.
[06:47] <jonrob287> when u use wine the error windows do not show anything why is that?
[06:47] <lstarnes> jonrob287: are you using visual effects?

[06:53] <raymond> How can I fix a "failed to retrieve share list from server" error when attempting to connect to my network?
[06:54] <Error> alright, i will try to figure it out. thanks for the help
[06:54] <pepperjack> raymond: how are you attempting to connect?  you mean to a windows share or something?
[06:56] <raymond> Hi Pepperjack, I went places>network>mynet>netgear (Or even the other computer on the network) - i'm connecting via a netgear router/modem
[06:57] <pepperjack> ls
[06:57] <ian_> Something has caused my windows to appear fuzzy, they don't look as clear.  I've tried adjusting the resolution, but it didn't make any difference.
[06:58] <raymond> ls?
[07:00] <pepperjack> raymond: sorry didnt intend to type that ;)
[07:01] <raymond> That's OK, I typed it into a terminal window in case you needed the data it produced :)
[07:02] <ZanQdo> so I selected the karmic repos and now its updating cache at %94 for half an hour now
[07:02] <ZanQdo> how much can it take?
[07:02] <pepperjack> raymond: have you seen this link yet?  it gives some good steps for sorting out samba problems like your seeing: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1169149
[07:04] <raymond> no, but I'll look now..
[07:04] <pepperjack> raymond: youre sure you dont have any kind of firewall issue?  try from command line in ubuntu: telnet remotemachine 139 just to see if that port is even accessable on the computer that should have the share
[07:07] <raymond> That failed as well with the same error.
[07:07] <KB1JWQ> raymond: Firewall issue.
[07:07] <KB1JWQ> Or the service isn't listening.
[07:08] <ZanQdo> damn

[07:13] <om26er> ZanQdo: you mean stuck na?
[07:13] <raymond> Yes mkquist (BTW, how do you direct the message to me spicifically). I'm migrating my computers to Ubuntu, but have lost network connectivity between them,
[07:13] <mkquist> raymond: I have had some and reinstalling samba seems to fix it...   dont know why, but seems to do it,if its  network sharing that is

[07:15] <M1TE5H> om26er: ok so after sudo dpkg -I *.deb  I can install vlc from add & remove so it can go for those local folder or internet
[07:15] <mkquist> raymond: give it a go, reinstalling samba
[07:16] <om26er> M1TE5H: i don't understand you make it clear
[07:16] <Er1K> I'm giving my 12yo Autistic son a DV camcorder in the morning and am looking for some Linux video editing software for him.  Core requirements are low learning curve, low system requirements, native handling of mpeg2/mpeg4 files with no "import", "export", or "conversion".  Nice-to-haves would be built-in support for DVD authoring.  PiTiVi and LiVES look like the front-runners ATM.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[07:17] <raymond> It's not installed (via the Ubuntu software Center), maybe this is why it isn't working <sigh>. Which one should I install? When I do a search for Samba I get smb4k, Samba (This one?) and a few others
[07:17] <M1TE5H> om26er: I want to setup my system, when user want to install some package the system 1st check in local folder if packages is find in these folder then install otherwise go for net
[07:17] <mkquist_> raymond: just search for samba an install it
[07:18] <sebsebseb> Er1K: maybe Kino
[07:18] <mkquist_> raymond: should help
[07:18] <raymond> OK, Samba itself.. Doing it now...
[07:18] <om26er> M1TE5H: sorry but i don't know how to do that
[07:18] <mkquist_> raymond: k
[07:18] <mkquist_> raymond: do you know about shares-admin in comman line in the terminal?
[07:18] <mkquist_> command... oops
[07:19] <mkquist_> raymond: comman line that is
[07:19] <LizardK|ng> M1TE5H, only the administrator should be installing packages
[07:19] <mkquist_> raymond: command... =)
[07:19] <M1TE5H> LizardK|ng: I have root privilege
[07:19] <jaki_> medan
[07:20] <LizardK|ng> M1TE5H, so you are an administrator
[07:20] <om26er> M1TE5H: after a clean install of ubuntu update your system and then go to /var/cache/apt/archives and copy every file and paste in the other system you want
[07:20] <M1TE5H> anybody know how 2 Setup my system, when user want to install some package the system 1st check in local folder if packages is find in these folder then install otherwise go for net
[07:20] <LizardK|ng> M1TE5H, but normal users should not be installing anything
[07:20] <Er1K> sebsebseb: IIRC, last time I tried Kino, it required that things be converted to raw DV format before it would think about touching them, and making any sort of mpeg required a trip through export.  Both took forever.  Is that still the case?
[07:21] <om26er> M1TE5H: then sudo apt-get clean on the first system and install vlc for example go to the same dircetory and copy everything and paste in the computer you wanna use
[07:21] <M1TE5H> LizardK|ng:  I told you I have root access so tell me the steps to do
[07:22] <M1TE5H> om26er: yaa bro but in vlc I have copy more than 30 packages from local 2 /var/cache/apt/archive
[07:22] <M1TE5H> om26er:  so I want  avoid it
[07:22] <LizardK|ng> M1TE5H, you on dialup?  just download them
[07:22] <om26er> M1TE5H: vlc is qt so its dependecies are downloaded
[07:22] <sebsebseb> Er1K: I don't know, I don't use it
[07:22] <om26er> M1TE5H: applications like pidgin(gtk+) will download a few files
[07:23] <r3dux> vlc is a great video player.
[07:23] <LizardK|ng> vlc is awesome
[07:23] <M1TE5H> LizardK|ng:  I already have all the package in my documents so why I need to dowanload agains
[07:23] <om26er> M1TE5H: no need
[07:23] <LizardK|ng> M1TE5H, so apt-get can find them
[07:23] <r3dux> vlc is my player of CHOICE.
[07:23] <om26er> M1TE5H: just paste them in the other machone and sudo apt-get update
[07:23] <fjkda> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m43538c34
[07:24]  * om26er thinks vlc is slow when seeking forward as compared to totem
[07:24] <fjkda> Check this out ^^^ I changed with ethtool but still it wont change
[07:24] <M1TE5H> LizardK|ng: brother it does not find so I ask here how to set system to find packages from local
[07:24] <LizardK|ng> M1TE5H, you can spend 5 minutes downloading, or 20 minutes setting up your system so you don;t have to download them
[07:24] <r3dux> It's also great for windows systems which lack codecs, because it can decode stacks of things without codecs installed.
[07:24] <Athar> hm, how do I change the applications certain file types are opened by default? So that text files are no longer opened by gedit, for example.
[07:24] <om26er> M1TE5H: when pasted in /var/cache/apt/archive it does look there
[07:25] <LizardK|ng> r3dux, it;s essential for windows
[07:25] <M1TE5H> anybody know how 2 Setup my system, when user want to install some package the system 1st check in local folder (I have all the packages in ~/Documents/packages) if packages is find in these folder then install otherwise go for net
[07:25] <r3dux> Don't you like gedit, Lizard?
[07:25] <Gentoon> Can someone PM me about my ban in #ubuntu-offtopic please?
[07:26] <om26er> M1TE5H: instead of ~/Documents/packages paste them to /var/cache/apt/archive
[07:26] <Jamed> Gentoon: talk to the ops in #ubuntu-ops
[07:26] <M1TE5H> LizardK|ng: in dowanload I spread 5 minutes for every day n whenever I want to install new packages so bettre to setup system in 20 mins
[07:26] <M1TE5H> om26er: it more than 4 GB Packages
[07:27] <M1TE5H> om26er:  so I am paste in my home dir
[07:27] <Athar> gedit loads large files really slowly.
[07:27] <AussieGuy> is it possible for me (via ssh -D 9999 to set up a socks server forwarding to inside my corporate network) to use VNC to access my desktop computer at work?
[07:27] <r3dux> I code a bit, and I used gedit in linux and notepad++ in windows. I should prob get with Eclipse, but there's no rush.
[07:28] <M1TE5H> om26er: I heared someone setting up repository for doing such kind of things but I don't remember how to
[07:28]  * om26er don't know either
[07:28] <skysong> Athar: how about mousepad?
[07:29] <AussieGuy> r3dux: use vim, cuts down on coding errors & frustration by 90%
[07:29] <r3dux> I had to teach people about backups and repos last month. You should try teaching building surveyors about CVSs. They don't know, and they don't care.
[07:29] <mobi-sheep> M1TE5H: apt-proxy / apt-catcher ?
[07:30] <r3dux> AussieGuy - No, no. No. No.
[07:30] <LizardK|ng> r3dux, i;m fine with gedit
[07:30] <r3dux> Not using vi, not using emacs, not usic vim
[07:30] <M1TE5H> mobi-sheep:apt-proxy / apt-catcher ? what was that please explain
[07:30] <Athar> Is mousepad a text editor?
[07:30] <mobi-sheep> M1TE5H: "anybody know how 2 Setup my system, when user want to install some package the system 1st check in local folder (I have all the packages in ~/Documents/packages) if packages is find in these folder then install otherwise go for net"
[07:30] <M1TE5H> r3dux: hw to build repository
[07:31] <r3dux> M1TE5H, do I look like I'm building a repository?
[07:31] <d4a65a> have posted my prob with eth above
[07:32] <d4a65a> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m43538c34
[07:32] <lazyPower> Merry Christmas all, to those that are celebrating the holiday.
[07:32] <d4a65a> im frustrated as hell on my isp help me quick or i will blast
[07:33] <r3dux> I love linux. I also love Windows 7, because it doesn't fall over as much, so I don't need to fix the wife's PC.
[07:34] <mobi-sheep> AussieGuy: "use vim, cuts down on coding errors & frustration by 90%"  How so?
[07:34] <AussieGuy> well, what ive found is that it gives alot more control
[07:34] <r3dux> The EDITOR had NOTHING to do with the code.
[07:34] <r3dux> It can't cut down on coding errors.
[07:35] <AussieGuy> even copy and paste is more controlled, using a far more accurate keyboard based version
[07:35] <r3dux> It can just be a dick of a text editor.
[07:35] <r3dux> "has"
[07:35]  * mobi-sheep try vim-gtk. :O
[07:36] <AussieGuy> you can delete a line in a few key presess, rather than by hap-hazaordly using your mouse to select all the text, then hit the delete button (which is prone to error)
[07:36] <r3dux> So?
[07:36] <fridim__> Hi. I would like to automatically backup a folder (let's say /home) on an usb disk when I plug that disk. It seems that now in ubuntu, the FS is mounted in /media/UUID-of-the-partition.  The less the better :)
[07:41] <om26er>  can any1 tell me the main reason of ubuntu switching to empathy?
[07:41] <DexterLB> good morning and merry christmas everyone :)
[07:41] <LizardK|ng> all i have to say about editors is that i started nano, and then spent 20 minutes trying to exit it and ended up just killing the terminal
[07:41] <fridim__> maybe the keyword is udev
[07:41] <r3dux> fridm_: Try "cron anacron usb event"
[07:42]  * lazyPower smacks his forhead
[07:42] <lazyPower> theres a link at the bottom of that link i posted that gives pretty much step by step instructions to accomplish what he wants.
[07:42] <lazyPower> i hate helping those that dont even say thanks or take the time to read >.<
[07:43] <danielsan0815> hi i have #8  0x00007f8d1ddb4a0e in ?? () from /usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4 is installing kdebase-dbg the right way to get it?
[07:43] <DexterLB> sometimes grub2 doesn't want to automatically start the kernel after an s2disk, power failiure, and sometimes with no apparent reason. Can it be configured to always boot the first kernel without displaying the menu, or at least to have a timeout?
[07:43] <mobi-sheep> fridim__: I know when you start plugging silly things in, you get that GNOME "You plugged in something, what default action should we take?" thing. You could set it to Other --> And point it to your script.
[07:44] <fridim__> mobi-sheep, never seen such a dialog box. It's simply automounted.
[07:45] <fridim__> lazyPower, the only thing I see in your link is : On recent Linux, you can have a script run when the device is detected. (not when it mounts, but when it is detected) by crafting a udev rule for that device.
[07:46] <fridim__> Well, this already took me too much time, I'll simply plug-in and run the script manually...
[07:46] <lazyPower> fridim__, For FreeBSD see /etc/rc.d/devd and devd.conf and devd
[07:46] <lazyPower> and FreeNAS forum • View topic - USB attach, auto-mount, rsync, detach & umount(auto-backup)]
[07:46] <lazyPower> see the last set of link text there bud
[07:46] <lazyPower> it has step by step instructions
[07:46] <lazyPower> and merry christmas
[07:46] <r3dux> fridim_ > You should should try connecting to my NAS via USB - it says no, and it means no.
[07:47] <danielsan0815> is installing kdebase-dbg the right way if i have 0x00007f8d1ddb4a0e in ?? () from /usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4 in debugging output?
[07:47] <mobi-sheep> fridim__: You were typing -- Working on something unimportant but it is important to you.  But wait, the file isn't in the trash bin too. Darn cat. You plugged in the HDD to recover and the script automatically rsync --delete the file. :(
[07:48] <r3dux> mobi-sheep > Can I borrow your cat?  Only I don't, because it has 5 years worth of photos on it.
[07:50] <r3dux> So I hope it lives.

[07:50] <fridim__> r3dux, true !! (about --delete)
[07:51] <alankila> oh yeah, this radeonhd: every attempt to view a video in totem results in "BadAlloc" X error and it dies. Something to do with XVideo support, or rather lack of support for it
[07:51] <DexterLB> lol i didn't know about that ubottu function :D
[07:51] <r3dux> My apologies. No swearing.
[07:52] <alankila> *sigh* ATI support is the worst
[07:52] <r3dux> You should try connecting to it. It's running unix, and JBODing the drives, NO error correction. You get what you get and don't get upset.
[07:53] <alankila> and trying to use opengl surface on xine gave me a funny blue image indicating that someone is confused about RGBA vs. ABGR.

[07:59] <DexterLB> raj don't repeat the question, i'm thinking on it
[07:59] <Lartza_> The latest ones don't seem to work
[07:59] <zetheroo> DexterLB: since Karmic that is what happens ... I have done nothing to make that happen like that
[07:59] <mkquist_> diablo: no
[08:00] <Lartza_> Catalyst says my card was not found and so does aticonfig.
[08:00] <[diablo]> mkquist, doh, really... mmm I remember someone was working on a stack to support it
[08:00] <DexterLB> zetheroo: have you done a clean install or a net upgrade?
[08:00] <zetheroo> DexterLB: clean install .. 3 machines ... all the same
[08:00] <mkquist_> diablo: not that I've seen so far, and I've been looking
[08:00] <Lartza_> aticonfig: No supported adapters detected
[08:00] <DexterLB> raj: exactly which intel video card?
[08:00] <[diablo]> mkquist, ok, let me find the article
[08:01] <mkquist_> diablo: love to know myself
[08:01] <DexterLB> zetheroo: well i've got clean install on 2 machines and karmic uses HAL as needed and doesn't ask for sudo password
[08:01] <tolpico> where can I find window manager in ubuntu 9.10 to switch to metacity? Thanks
[08:01] <[diablo]> nod, will try to find this
[08:01] <mkquist_> thanx
[08:01] <DexterLB> zetheroo: did you try different flash disks?
[08:01] <om26er> tolpico: disable desktp effcts
[08:02] <zetheroo> DexterLB: these are not flash disks ... this is internal partitions and external Hard Drives
[08:02] <DexterLB> aaah
[08:02] <tolpico> om26er, ok selected none, then
[08:02] <zetheroo> DexterLB: the internal partitions are Ext4 and the external drive is NTFS
[08:02] <om26er> tolpico: now you window manager is metacity
[08:02] <DexterLB> zetheroo: so is the external drive listed in /etc/fstab?
[08:02] <zetheroo> DexterLB: but the pain is that these volumes are loading with root perms ..
[08:03] <zvacet> tolpico : in terminal  metacity --replace
[08:03] <M1TE5H> how to block non-root user on tty1 login
[08:03] <zetheroo> DexterLB: what if not?

[08:04] <Dereck> viiince: in ubuntu? it's ok under win*
[08:04] <mkquist_> monkill: well merry xmas, but a little quick on the other = P
[08:04] <zetheroo> DexterLB: well I dunnno ... but like I said this has happened on all 3 machines  I have installed Karmix on which have multiple partitions
[08:04] <DexterLB> zetheroo: and NTFS doesn't store linux permissions (does it?) and everything will be as root
[08:04] <viiince> lol why would i join a ubuntu irc whilie running win   lol

[08:07] <zetheroo> DexterLB: do you have any idea also why i cannot create any shortcuts on the internal partition?
[08:07] <om26er> raj: because you are constantly repeating you question

[08:07] <DexterLB> raj: such thing as linux expert doesn't exist
[08:07] <raj> need help on screen resolution

[08:09] <tolpico> om26er, ok so as you tell, i am in metacity manager, i have some metacity themes, where should i install them? in the default themes dialog?
[08:09] <DexterLB> zetheroo: hmm
[08:09] <taygalove> raj: oh mistake. try Ctrl Alt F1 ... F7
[08:09] <soreau> raj: What are you trying to accomplish?
[08:09] <raj> i am getting only two resolution options
[08:09] <zvacet> raj: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[08:09] <tolpico> zvacet, metacity --replace, killed my metacity manger, had to restart
[08:09] <soreau> raj: What graphics card do you have?
[08:09] <DexterLB> taygalove: don't say that
[08:09] <om26er> tolpico: drag and drop on theme tab
[08:09] <mkquist_> raj:maybe something like this - http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-configure-Xorg-in-Ubuntu
[08:09] <DexterLB> taygalove: he'll go to tty1 and won't be able to come back to tty7 lol
[08:10] <DexterLB> sorry
[08:10] <taygalove> DexterLB i said F7
[08:10] <raj> i dont have external graphic card
[08:10] <DexterLB> taygalove and you think he understood what you meant by F7? :D
[08:10] <soreau> raj: Well what is the output of: lspci|grep VGA
[08:11] <taygalove> raj: To return to X, press Ctrl Alt F7. To use the TTY screen, use Ctrl Alt F1 ... F6
[08:11] <raj> nothing i am getting
[08:11] <DexterLB> zetheroo: then who mounts the external drive? Some process must do that. Or do you do it manually?
[08:11] <soreau> taygalove: All of that information is mostly irrelevant in this case
[08:11] <soreau> ! who | raj
[08:12] <raj> i am asking resolution guys
[08:12] <zetheroo> DexterLB: double click the volume and it mounts after I put the sudo pass in
[08:12] <raj> u there
[08:12] <ja660k> hey all, quick question, is there a better emial client than evolution??????
[08:12] <taygalove> raj Is 80x24 a correct resolution?
[08:12] <DexterLB> raj: YES WE UNDERSTOOD THAT
[08:12] <raj> ya
[08:12] <soreau> ! caps | DexterLB
[08:12] <LordXenu> ja660k, thunderbird is good if you don't need exchange support
[08:13] <LordXenu> the one thing I do like in evolution over thunderbird, though, is that it supports regex mail filters
[08:13] <DexterLB> raj: stop repeating it, if you're in a hurry fix it yourself
[08:13] <DexterLB> oops
[08:13] <ja660k> okay, just need good IMAP support and a nicer interface
[08:13] <DexterLB> !language | DexterLB
[08:13] <ja660k> ty =)
[08:13] <raj> ok
[08:13] <taygalove> raj: What kind of resolution do you want: CGA, EGA, VGA, MSX, or O_ther?
[08:13] <raj> vga
[08:13] <taygalove> Sane answer
[08:14] <soreau> raj: We need to know which graphics card you have first. Open a terminal Applications>Accessories>Terminal then type 'lspci||grep VGA' without tick marks then press enter. Paste the output here
[08:14] <tolpico> om26er, thanks
[08:14]  * taygalove away curing his lungs

[08:16] <soreau> raj: Yes
[08:16] <raj> soreau  i sended u the graphic card model
[08:16] <DexterLB> raj: lol
[08:17] <soreau> raj: Right, so you have an intel chipset/gpu
[08:17] <raj> soreau  exactly
[08:17] <r3dux> Instead of the previous, try: lspci | grep VGA
[08:17] <soreau> raj: What resolution is being reported and which one are you trying to achieve?
[08:17] <TheFuzzball> Happy Christmas!
[08:17] <r3dux> You'll end up with your VGA card, not everything

[08:18] <taygalove> grep -i VGA ?
[08:18] <raj> soreau i am having 800 x600 and 640 x 480 i want 1024 x 768
[08:19] <r3dux>  lspci | grep VGA                -- it IS rocket science.
[08:19] <raj> r3dux u r command is not working
[08:19] <taygalove> raj : that's SVGA, man
[08:19] <zetheroo> so any ideas?
[08:19] <raj> taygalove  what does it mean
[08:20] <r3dux> raj - it works fine for me - how on earth do you not have lspci in your path?
[08:20] <zetheroo> why are my partitions being mounted in root?
[08:20] <taygalove> raj: lspci | less
[08:20] <soreau> raj: Can you pastebin your X log? An easy way to do this is by running the following in your terminal: sudo apt-get install curl && cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us
[08:20] <raj> taygalove  VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[08:20] <soreau> raj: That should install curl then print a url containing your X log which you can paste back here for us to see
[08:22] <raj> soreau how can i paste
[08:22] <soreau> raj: Just run this command in your terminal: sudo apt-get install curl && cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us
[08:22] <zvacet> raj :http://ubuntu.pastebin.com
[08:23] <r3dux> soreau, you sound like a man who could connect to my NAS via USB, which has decided to use /dev/eth1 and made me assign it an address

[08:30] <soreau> zl3cat: Now, if you would like to instruct raj on how to use pastebinnit to pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log, that would be most helpful
[08:31] <raj> how to paste bin
[08:31] <BlouBlou> !paste | raj
[08:31] <zl3cat> raj:  sudo apt-get install -y pastebinit && cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit
[08:31] <soreau> ! pastebin | raj
[08:32] <soreau> raj: When we tell you a command, you should not include your nick (raj) with it
[08:32] <taygalove> work on it.. /me away.
[08:32] <raj> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2b3521f8
[08:32] <raj> soreau  ok brother
[08:33] <soreau> raj: That is good enough, hang on
[08:33] <BluShift> Random PCIe question for you guys: What does it mean when a motherboard has 2 PCIe slots, (both are x16 size) but one runs at x16 and the other runs are x4? Is that normal? Does that mean two x16 video cards can be used in SLI/Crossfire, or no?
[08:33] <raj> soreau  so tell me which command shall type
[08:33] <zl3cat> raj:  http://sprunge.us/aEAN is the bit we wanted, but that's cool
[08:33] <soreau> raj: just wait a sec so I can review your X log
[08:34] <raj> soreau  ok
[08:34] <raj> soreau  u tell me a command so i can send you a log
[08:34] <soreau> raj: Things look good there.. now can you pastebin the output of 'xrandr'?
[08:35] <Devrethman> BluShift: It's not normal if your motherboard specifcally says it should be able to run both at 16.
[08:35] <zl3cat> raj:  type " xrandr | pastebinit " (without the quotes) then give us the one line it gives you..
[08:35] <raj> soreau  http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m68263316
[08:36] <BluShift> Devrethman: No, i'm reading specs for a new motherboard and I saw that -- I thought dual x16 PCIe slots == SLI/Crossfire ready. Am I wrong?
[08:36] <DexterLB> so, anyone to answer my grub question?
[08:36] <fahadsadah> DexterLB: Please could you repeat it?
[08:36] <DexterLB> sometimes grub2 doesn't want to automatically start the kernel after an s2disk, power failiure, and sometimes with no apparent reason. Can it be configured to always boot the first kernel without displaying the menu, or at least to have a timeout?
[08:37] <raj> soreau are you getting my log
[08:37] <zl3cat> raj:  yeah, he'll be looking it it now.
[08:37] <raj> zl3cat  ok
[08:37] <fahadsadah> DexterLB: Yes, you can.
[08:37] <fahadsadah> Just a second, please?
[08:38] <soreau> raj: Ok, you say you want 1024x768?
[08:38] <raj> soreau ya
[08:38] <DexterLB> fahadsadah: how?
[08:38] <fahadsadah> DexterLB: Please can you !pastebin your current GRUB config?
[08:38] <fahadsadah> !pastebin
[08:38] <soreau> raj: One moment
[08:38] <raj> soreau ok ..
[08:39] <m55> how do i put the netbook remix on a usb stick from osx?  I can only find .iso files, no .img files
[08:40] <BlouBlou> m55: Copy *.iso to usb, only that
[08:40] <m55> to a fat32 partition?
[08:40] <DexterLB> fahadsadah: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/346349/
[08:40] <raj> soreau : u there
[08:40] <soreau> raj: Yes
[08:40] <BlouBlou> m55: That's the same, if you install ubuntu it will create ext4 automatically
[08:41] <raj> soreau : what is the next step i shall do
[08:41] <soreau> raj: Pastebin the output of this: cvt 1024 768
[08:41] <fahadsadah> DexterLB: That's it?
[08:42] <DexterLB> fahadsadah: that's the entire contents of /etc/default/grub
[08:42] <fahadsadah> Sorry.
[08:42] <fahadsadah> I wanted /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[08:42] <raj> soreau : raj@raj-desktop:~$ cvt 1024 768
[08:42] <raj> # 1024x768 59.92 Hz (CVT 0.79M3) hsync: 47.82 kHz; pclk: 63.50 MHz
[08:42] <raj> Modeline "1024x768_60.00"   63.50  1024 1072 1176 1328  768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync
[08:43] <BlouBlou> raj: Please, use pastebin for paste text, pasting too much lines in channel can cause bot gives a quiet to you :)
[08:43] <dnivra> raj: you were supposed to pastebin it not paste it:).
[08:43] <DexterLB> fahadsadah: but I thought /etc/default/grub was vital because it is used to generate /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[08:43] <dnivra> !pastebin | raj
[08:43] <raj> soreau http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d6011313d
[08:43] <DexterLB> fahadsadah: I'll post it anyway
[08:43] <soreau> raj: Ok, standby
[08:43] <raj> ok
[08:43] <fahadsadah> DexterLB: I need /boot/grub/grub.cfg because it contains details of your hard drives.
[08:44] <fahadsadah> With that, I can write you a new grub.cfg that has no menu
[08:44] <jozefk> every time I start Terminal the windows size is like 1/4 of the screen. where is the config file for gnome-terminal? or is there some other way for fixing this?
[08:45] <DexterLB> fahadsadah: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/346351/
[08:45] <raj> soreau did u get my log dude
[08:45] <raj> soreau : u there
[08:46] <raj> soreau : you there man
[08:46] <soreau> raj: Yes, just wait
[08:46] <raj> soreau : ok
[08:46] <raj> soreau : i am waiting
[08:46] <dnivra> !patience > dnivra
[08:46] <aax> oi arek sby
[08:47] <nellmathew> hey guys, i want to set up a ssh server on my computer, but have support/client pcs connect to me, so i can provide remote support (they are behind routers and i can't configure), what should i be looking for?
[08:47] <vanyok> Merry Christmas! :)
[08:47] <fahadsadah> DexterLB: Sorry, no, I don't know.
[08:47] <raj> merry chritmas to all guys
[08:47] <fahadsadah> I thought grub2 would be like grub.
[08:47] <m55> BlouBlou: I tried copying the contents of the netbook remix iso to a fat32 usb stick, and tried booting it up, but it doesn't boot
[08:47] <DexterLB> fahadsadah: it's totally different :(
[08:48] <soreau> raj: Run this all as one command:  xrandr --newmode "1024x768_60.00"   63.50  1024 1072 1176 1328  768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync && sleep 1 && xrandr --addmode VGA1 "1024x768_60.00" && sleep 1 && xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768_60.00
[08:48] <dnivra> fahadsadah: what is DexterLB trying to do; just wanna know:).
[08:48] <fahadsadah> m55: In a terminal (on Mac or Ubuntu, doesn't matter), type: dd if=unr.iso of=/path/to/your/usb/stick/block/device
[08:48] <fahadsadah> dnivra: Remove the menu, and make it go straight to first kernel
[08:49] <BlouBlou> m55: Wich operative system have you got installed? because you can install ubuntu with wubi if you are using windows
[08:49] <raj> soreau : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2a67d4b6
[08:49] <vaporub> nellmathew: they cannot provide vpn access for you to access their networks?
[08:49] <dnivra> fahadsadah: isn't it enough if he just hid the menu and set timeout to 1 or something?
[08:49] <taygalove> jozefk Ctrl Alt F7 ... Ctrl Alt F1
[08:49] <taygalove> jozefk full screen ttys
[08:50] <DexterLB> dnivra: i want to make grub2 act as grub (e.g. always DO boot the first kernel, may show a menu for a second but I don't want it to wait for my choice. Now it usually boots automatically but sometimes pauses and waits for me to press enter)
[08:50] <jozefk> i tried to right click on the icon from panel and changed the command from gnome-terminal to gnome-terminal --maximize
[08:50] <jozefk> i need to close it now and try
[08:50] <DexterLB> dnivra: I have set the timeout to 1
[08:50] <soreau> raj: Bah. That was not supposed to happen. Sorry, maybe you can ask in #intel-gfx
[08:50] <DexterLB> dnivra: it doesn't work
[08:50] <taygalove> jozefk use kill from tty
[08:50] <DexterLB> dnivra: well in most cases it works but sometimes it doesn't
[08:50] <nellmathew> vaporub, no - this isn't really a professional thing, just tryna help a few friends out.. was just curious, because i set up ssh on both machines.. did -R on my machine, and the same on theirs (after forwarding ports on my router, ect..) but their computer says cannot connect to my no-ip..
[08:50] <DexterLB> dnivra: and I want it to be certain that it boots
[08:51] <dnivra> DexterLB: i think you just need to set the timeout to some small value. that should be enough I guess.
[08:51]  * taygalove away helping mother.
[08:51] <raj> soreau : what is the problem
[08:51] <BlouBlou> !away > taygalove
[08:51] <soreau> raj: Intel sucks :P
[08:51] <raj> soreau : i cant get the resolution what i want
[08:52] <raj> soreau : who can help me
[08:52] <DexterLB> dnivra: it's set to 1
[08:52] <BlouBlou> raj: Just ask question :)
[08:52] <zl3cat> soreau:  funny, my experience with intel stuff is usually great.. only video that has 3d out of the box.
[08:52] <soreau> raj: Maybe you can ask in #intel-gfx about your problem.. on radeon/ati that would have worked
[08:52] <DexterLB> dnivra in most cases it waits 1 second and boots as intended
[08:52] <dnivra> DexterLB: the timeout is 1 and yet the boot doesn't happen sometimes?
[08:52] <soreau> raj: I mean intel sucks for gpu's, not spu's
[08:52] <jozefk> it's working now but only if I click on the icon in the panel
[08:52] <jozefk> :P
[08:52] <soreau> raj: cpu's*
[08:53] <DexterLB> dnivra: yes
[08:53] <jozefk> if I do Ctrl+Shift+N the new windows is still 1/4 of the screen
[08:53] <soreau> raj: Radeon/ATI was 3D OOTB too
[08:53] <DexterLB> dnivra: sometimes after a power failiure, hibernation or without any obvious reason
[08:53] <soreau> raj: s/was/has
[08:53] <jozefk> so that means there is a config file where I could fix this. I guess.
[08:53] <dnivra> DexterLB: this is baffling I must say.
[08:53] <dnivra> DexterLB: do you have other operating systems; perhaps you could disable them if you don't use them.
[08:54] <zetheroo> anyone here know a good deal about fstab?
[08:54] <DexterLB> dnivra: no, only karmic
[08:54] <dnivra> DexterLB: only karmic? then it's not supposed to show the menu at all!
[08:54] <DexterLB> dnivra: a regular kernel and a recovery mode kernel and a memtest
[08:54] <DexterLB> dnivra: id doesn't show the menu
[08:54] <zl3cat> soreau:  ahh, most of my machines are nvidia (which needs drivers..)
[08:54] <DexterLB> dnivra: but sometimes it shows it and doesn't boot until I press enter
[08:54] <DexterLB> i-d+it
[08:54] <DexterLB> -id+it
[08:55] <raj> bloublou: i want my screen resolution to 1024 x 768
[08:55] <ManDay> What package contains LaTeX documentation (for Texlive)?
[08:55] <dnivra> DexterLB: i see; well I'm not sure how to help you out. But I know an excellent GRUB2 documentation that can help you out hopefully. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[08:55] <ManDay> not TexLive specific docs but LaTeX in general
[08:55] <dnivra> DexterLB: I think if you set a hidden timeout; it might help.
[08:55] <raj> bloublou: i am getting only two resolutions right now
[08:55] <raj> soreau: so there is no way u can help me out
[08:56] <BlouBlou> raj: Did you install graphic drivers?
[08:56] <soreau> raj: Basically you need to add a 1024x768 mode through xrandr or xorg.conf so you will have that mode available. If your monitor is not capable of this, it likely will not work
[08:56] <dnivra> DexterLB: check the documentation - they've explained well how to set those basic things like a hidden timeout and stuff. it's pretty good for most cases I think. hope that helps.
[08:56] <soreau> BlouBlou: His drivers are installed by default and working fine
[08:56] <soreau> It is not nvidia
[08:56] <DexterLB> dnivra: how do i do that?
[08:56] <DexterLB> dnivra: Here's my /etc/default/grub: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/346349/
[08:56] <DexterLB> dnivra: ok I'll be looking at the doco
[08:56] <BlouBlou> soreau: Okay
[08:56] <raj> bloublou :help me
[08:57] <zl3cat> !res | raj this might help?
[08:57] <raj> in live cd i am getting 1024 x768
[08:57] <taygalove> soreau raj either wants to change transistors on his video or use a higher than 1024 resol.
[08:57] <dnivra> DexterLB: Yeah i did take a look at that; it's same as what i have. Just look at the documentation: I'm not sure how to exactly set hidden timeout that's why:).
[08:58] <zl3cat> weird that it would be OK on the live CD and not in the installed system...
[08:58] <raj> so what shall i do
[08:58] <raj> i am having problem with screen resolution
[08:59] <raj> i need 1024x768
[08:59] <BlouBlou> raj: zl3cat gaves you usseful information before you quitting, did you saw it? :)
[08:59] <raj> no i didnot
[08:59] <zl3cat> raj:  so what happens if you just move /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart gdm without it?
[08:59] <raj> bloublou : send me again
[08:59] <zl3cat> !res | raj this might help?
[08:59] <taygalove> hmm mouse doesn't work in ubuntu ttys... ok
[08:59] <BlouBlou> raj: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo  /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[09:00] <BlouBlou> raj: That was
[09:00] <taygalove> raj alternate way to restart X, is Ctrl Alt Backspace which is enabled by dontzap package and some cofiguration, google dontzap
[09:01] <zl3cat> taygalove:  pretty sure zap is dissabled by default
[09:02] <taygalove> zl3cat there will be time for me to plunge into writing debuggers...
[09:02] <tolpico> In which directory are Emerald themes saved? Thanks
[09:03] <zl3cat> tolpico:  at a guess, probably .emerald ;)
[09:03] <iKernel> tolpico, $HOME/.emerald that is
[09:03] <zl3cat> tolpico:  .emerald/themes/
[09:03] <tolpico> zl3cat, iKernel is there a way we can install for all users
[09:03] <zl3cat> tolpico:  ~/.emerald/themes/ if you want to be picky...
[09:04] <raj> nothing is helping me
[09:04] <iKernel> raj wassup?
[09:04] <raj> i am planning to remove from my computer
[09:05] <iKernel> raj what are you planning to remove from your computer?
[09:05] <raj> i am having screen resolution problem
[09:05] <raj> and none is helping me
[09:05] <iKernel> raj can you be more specific?
[09:05] <raj> ubuntu
[09:05] <iKernel> a little more specific
[09:06] <raj> iam not getting 1024x768  resolution
[09:06] <iKernel> raj no one can help you if you don't tell us exactly what the problem is
[09:06] <iKernel> raj maybe your graphics card doesn't support it
[09:06] <raj> ikernel: it came in live cd
[09:06] <zl3cat> iKernel:  intel chipset, works at 1024x768 on the live cd but it seems he's stuck in 800x600 after installing
[09:06] <raj> ya exactly
[09:07] <iKernel> have you tried removing all modes about from 1024x768 from xorg.conf? if you do that then it'll be forced to use that resolution
[09:07] <iKernel> s/about/apart
[09:07] <raj> ikernel: mine is 17 inch monitor how can i use this 800x600 resolution
[09:07] <zl3cat> raj:  my suggestion would be "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.busted" and then reboot.
[09:07] <raj> ikernel: my eyes r paining
[09:07] <zl3cat> I don't think it could make anything worse ;)
[09:08] <raj> ok guys ubuntu is not working fine
[09:08] <zl3cat> basically that'd leave X running with no xorg.conf just like it does on the live CD.
[09:08] <iKernel> works great for me
[09:08] <raj> i think this a flop version
[09:08] <iKernel> fresh xubuntu installation straight off the latest (stable) amd64 iso
[09:09] <iKernel> and everything works straight off the bat
[09:09] <raj> soreanu : u there
[09:09] <iKernel> less trouble configuring things than with windows =d
[09:09] <raj> blou blou: u there
[09:09] <zl3cat> raj:  give what I said a try?
[09:10] <soreau> raj: I am still here
[09:10] <soreau> raj: I am not sure why it would work on a live cd but not after you install it
[09:10] <soreau> raj: It should work
[09:10] <raj> soreau : i think its a defect in ubuntu
[09:10] <zl3cat> soreau:  'cos the installer is trying to be smart and making an xorg.conf which is less optimal than none at all... ;)
[09:11] <raj> soreau : so there is no way to fix this?
[09:11] <soreau> zl3cat: You think the live cd makes a conf file the install wouldnt have? That doesn't make any sense to me
[09:11] <voltron> hello, i have a simple question : in order to have touchscreen functionalities, do I have to buy a touchscreen monitor (i mean hardware enabled touchscreen) or can i add some packages to my old regular monitor and then it becomes a touchscreen ?
[09:11] <zl3cat> raj:  which version ubuntu btw? 9.10 or something earlier?
[09:11] <raj> soreau : say perfectly so that i can go back to windows
[09:11] <raj> 9.10
[09:11] <soreau> If it does do that, this is a ubuntu bug
[09:12] <tolpico> ok the emerald themes are being installed correctly in ~/.emerald/themes/ but when i click the theme in emerald manager it does'nt apply. Whats wrong?
[09:12] <raj> zl3cat: 9.10
[09:12] <soreau> raj: I don't care which OS you use, I would like to know why ubuntu is acting in this way though
[09:12] <navin> i'm on ubuntu. I've a Windows XP CD but it is not bootable. So i'm planning to write a bootable CD with contents from my other CD. i'm using xcdroast. Where can i get the boot catalog ?
[09:12] <iKernel> tolpico, maybe you have to restart your desktop environment
[09:12] <aax> aax
[09:12] <jurisz> where can I get fair comparision of virtualisation software?
[09:12] <zl3cat> soreau:  no, I think the instalelr creates one sometimes trying to get 'better' settings.. and perhaps it would work better with none as it does on the live CD.
[09:12] <navin> or bootimage
[09:12] <ssss> hi
[09:12] <raj> soreau : u would better ask who invented ubuntu
[09:12] <subanomic> can someone convince me to use Ubuntu instead of Debian on a server?
[09:13] <lstarnes> raj: why?
[09:13] <voltron> any answer guys ?
[09:13] <raj> need an expert
[09:13] <raj> need an expert
[09:13] <raj> need an expert
[09:13] <FloodBot2> raj: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:13] <soreau> raj: heh, I don't think it is that simple. More likely, you better ask the intel driver maintainer group
[09:13] <tolpico> iKernel, ctrl + Alt + backspace doesnt work
[09:13] <raj> soreau : intel rocks
[09:14] <lstarnes> !dontzap | tolpico
[09:14] <jurisz> subanomic: go to #ubuntu-server there maybe somebody would answer better
[09:14] <rock312> hello
[09:14] <zl3cat> raj:  try what I said, renaming the xorg.conf to something else and restarting. I do not think it could make anything worse.
[09:14] <raj> soreau : as i am new to ubuntu i came here to ask
[09:14] <soreau> raj: But flooding and asking the same question over again wont get you anywhere. better ask in #intel-gfx
[09:14] <subanomic> oh, didnt know of that channel, ty jurisz
[09:14] <navin> i'm on linux. I've a Windows XP CD but it is not bootable. So i'm planning to write a bootable CD with contents from my other CD. i'm using xcdroast. Where can i get the boot catalog or boot image for Windows Xp bootable disk ?
[09:14] <iKernel> tolpico, yeah I know, weird thing. i don't know why that key stroke doesn't work anymore
[09:14] <soreau> raj: If you want to get support in #intel-gfx, you have to be persistent and patient
[09:14] <raj> soreau : i think u people are also new nothing difference
[09:14] <iKernel> tolpico, try killall -9 Xorg
[09:15] <soreau> raj: Impatience will get you nowhere
[09:15] <raj> soreau : what is intel - gfx
[09:15] <soreau> Ralfm_: Type this in here: /j #intel-gfx
[09:15] <raj> soreau : maintain clarity
[09:15] <soreau> raj: It will bring you to a channel for intel graphics
[09:15] <raj> ok
