[11:52] <koowgnojeel> ActionParsnip, E: The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[11:52] <Younder> it breaks in 9.10 if that's what you mean
[11:52] <bazhang> BDOTH, stop that please
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> koowgnojeel: sudo dpkg --force-all -r adobe-flashplugin
[11:52] <Younder> and no
[11:53] <Guest65082> i have downloaede the gnome and gtk setup
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> koowgnojeel: you may need to find the deb and force install it, then remove it
[11:53] <Younder> you need a clean install
[11:53] <koowgnojeel> ActionParsnip, error
[11:53] <Guest65082> tried installing it too
[11:53] <koowgnojeel> @_@
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> koowgnojeel: writing "error" helps no one at all, care to furnish me with some details?
[11:53] <koowgnojeel> Package is in a very bad inconsistent state
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> koowgnojeel: find the deb and run: sudo dpkg --force-all -i debfile    you will then be able to remove it using apt-get
[11:54] <python_root> Guyz any one know how to make a bootable USB of any other os like windows in ubuntu
[11:54] <ChrisCphDK> Looking at the output from Network Tools, the active NIC has Link Speed set to "not available". Could this be the reason for extremely slow socket sends?
[11:54] <moonos> Hi all. Is MoonOS stable enough to run my business with? It certainly looks a very nice distro!
[11:55] <bazhang> !ot | moonos
[11:55] <indus> python_root: its possible but very painful
[11:55] <moonos> Too good to be true, in fact
[11:55] <scix> Eclipse in Ubuntu 9.10: What is the default software URL for eclipse?
[11:55] <python_root> indus: How
[11:55] <dr3mro> does rhythmbox ceased development??
[11:55] <indus> python_root: for windows i mean, all other linux distros its possible
[11:55] <Younder> koowgnojeel,  right, it's the dependencies that break
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> moonos: sure, its an unofficial ubuntu distro but its fine, you can get the same by installing XUbuntu then installing E17 or LXDE on it
[11:55] <indus> python_root: unetbootin will do it for all linux distros
[11:55] <koowgnojeel> ActionParsnip, Younder http://paste.ubuntu.com/316834/
[11:55] <python_root> indus: Didnt get u ..
[11:55] <BDOTH> python_root, I did that once. I told DVD decrypter on Windows to write to my USB disk a Ubuntu ISO.. It actually works.
[11:55] <vikb> not able to install aptana plugins
[11:56] <python_root> indus: i want to make bootable windows
[11:56] <indus> python_root: you need to google it,
[11:56] <python_root> indus: from ubuntu
[11:56] <BDOTH> You want to boot windows off a USB drive?
[11:56] <python_root> indus: i asked if any one did here
[11:56] <indus> python_root: from ubuntu ? haha asking too much but wait
[11:56] <vikb> Ubuntu 9.10 Eclipse Aptana plugins not getting installed
[11:56] <python_root>  BDOTH:  Yes
[11:56] <bazhang> python_root, its not possible from ubuntu
[11:57] <bazhang> python_root, feel free to ask in ##windows
[11:57] <Younder> koowgnojeel, that library doen't exist
[11:57] <python_root> bazhang: as far as i know we can
[11:57] <vikb> I googled found it was a genuine issue with eclipse 3.5
[11:57] <indus> bazhang: possible actually
[11:57] <moonos> I have a Winmodem and I have not had much success getting my fax to work with Mint or Elive. Any ideas on this?
[11:57] <BDOTH> A small stick one or a large external hard drive usb? python)root
[11:57] <vikb> when can I hope for it to get rectified
[11:57] <python_root> bazhang: i heard someware
[11:57] <indus> python_root: but yeah ask in ##windows
[11:57] <koowgnojeel> Younder, ok, i think i know what went wrong
[11:57] <indus> python_root: its a windows specific question
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> koowgnojeel: you may need to edit the postinst so that there is no logic in it and the app just gets pulled
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> koowgnojeel: i dont know where its help though
[11:58] <python_root> But making from UBUNTU community
[11:58] <indus> python_root: http://www.bootdisk.com/pendrive.htm
[11:58] <python_root> induz:
[11:58] <indus> python_root: sorry old
[11:58] <indus> python_root: wait
[11:58] <koowgnojeel> ActionParsnip, Younder its dependencies was "libnspr4-dev" and  "libnss3-dev"
[11:58] <BDOTH> python_root, just run your windows install CD with your drive plugged in. Select it as the disk to use during installation. That's pretty much it unless your computer doesn't support USB outside of an operating system.
[11:58] <moonos> As I need my cmputer fax for my business
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> koowgnojeel: why are you using that deb to install flash, there is flash on the repos??
[11:58] <Kottizen> How do I change so Windows is the primary choise in grub?
[11:58] <indus> python_root: http://www.bootdisk.com/pendrive.htm
[11:58] <Younder> koowgnojeel, nice that people like you fight it out though
[11:58] <koowgnojeel> ActionParsnip, Younder but now can't even install those packages
[11:59] <indus> python_root: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-22_11-5928902.html this one
[11:59] <koowgnojeel> ActionParsnip, didn't think much
[11:59] <mka> Kottizen: insert "default 1" in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:59] <vikb> I am not able to use Aptana plugins in Eclipse somebody help
[11:59] <python_root> indus : let me see
[11:59] <mka> Kottizen: assuming windows is the second in the list
[11:59] <koowgnojeel> ActionParsnip, Younder  i'm gonna check cash folder for its dependencies
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> koowgnojeel: sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq adobe-flashplugin
[12:00] <Younder> koowgnojeel, that's the problem. The dependencies are ingrained in the old version
[12:00] <koowgnojeel> ActionParsnip, same
[12:00] <indus> python_root: its not known to work always it says , but if you have too much time to waste, do it :)
[12:00] <BDOTH> python_root, also don't be swapping that windows from computer to computer though. It's not like Ubuntu or Fedora. It's going to be a mess of driver problems and hardware driver confusion. I recommend not doing it unless it's only going to be used on one computer and the same computer always.
[12:00] <indus> python_root: sounds like fun
[12:00] <Carsten-> Hi guys... I have a problem when compiling a program, I get this error: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.3/include/stdarg.h'
[12:00] <Carsten-> any idea on ways to rectify this?
[12:00] <Kottizen> mka: Uhm, the file doesn't exist? :S
[12:00] <Younder> koowgnojeel, you need to maunually extrach the newest version
[12:00] <x_> hi ubuntu tribe
[12:00] <Kottizen> mka: Should I create it?
[12:00] <moonos> ActionParsnip: You familiar with faxing in Linux? Is it possible if I have a Winmodem?
[12:00] <Younder> koowgnojeel, a serious pain..
[12:01] <coz_> Carsten-,  what are you compiling and do you have a link to it ?
[12:01] <indus> !fax
[12:01] <koowgnojeel> Younder, @_@
[12:01] <mka> Kottizen: do you use ubuntu via Wubi?
[12:01] <BDOTH> x_, in no way am I part of a tribe.
[12:01] <BDOTH> wtf
[12:01] <Carsten-> atheme irc services.
[12:01] <Kottizen> mka: Nope.
[12:01] <BDOTH> ubottu has no fax guides?
[12:01] <coz_> indus,  are you trying to fax something online?
[12:01] <Kottizen> mka: I created the file and I'll try now, thanks!
[12:01] <mka> Kottizen: ok?
[12:01] <coz_> Carsten-,  do you have a link to the pacakage you are trying to compile
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> koowgnojeel: if you edit the file  /var/lib/dpkg/info/adobe-flashplugin.postrm or /var/lib/dpkg/info/adobe-flashplugin.postinst  (backup the files to your home folder first) then you can remove the checking of stuff and the package will just remove
[12:01] <bayo_O> Hi. I install 2 time ubuntu 9.10 with wubi, and 2 time after the last ubuntu update, glub dont want to start: "kernel panic... unable to mount..." Is anybody know if it is a common problem?
[12:01] <indus> coz_: well someone is , you could help maybe moonos
[12:02] <BDOTH> !faxmachine
[12:02] <Carsten-> how do you mean "a link"?
[12:02] <BDOTH> really?
[12:02] <koowgnojeel> ActionParsnip, i did that one already didn't go thru
[12:02] <indus> coz_: thanks for asking though
[12:02] <moonos> In Window$$ I use Mightyfax successfully but in Linux it doers not dtect Winmodem
[12:02] <Carsten-> i had no problem with this package until i updated to 9.10 a few days back
[12:02] <jongie> HELP: error encountered when inserting flash drive "can't mount volume.."
[12:02] <coz_> Carsten-,  where did you get the pacakge from....please type the first couple letters of my nick then hit the tab button to complete it ...then I will know you are talking to me :)
[12:02] <knoxville> Is there any smart way to log in as root to change permissions for a folder?
[12:03] <BDOTH> moonos, what brand of fax machine?
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> koowgnojeel: just comment the lines so the file simply reads set -e  and exit 0   you use #s to comment lines out
[12:03] <cippolippo> ciao a tutti
[12:03] <Buzzard> cant i just install amarok on ubuntu 8.04.3 lts?
[12:03] <Carsten-> coz_ it is callled atheme irc services.
[12:03] <Buzzard> ^^
[12:03] <moonos> Computer fax program - Mightyfax and ventafax. No external fax machine.
[12:04] <mka> Buzzard: u can
[12:04] <BDOTH> moonos, you have a phone modem?
[12:04] <Buzzard> cool
[12:04] <jongie> HELP: error encountered when inserting flash drive "can't mount volume.."
[12:04] <Buzzard> it will have codecs too?
[12:04] <coz_> Carsten-, I see  mm  let me check on that...but dont be too surprised it doesn work in 9.10    ...many libraries have been updated and that may be one of the pacakges that requires an older library
[12:04] <Buzzard> where can i get codecs
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> jongie: try mounting from command line, you will get more useful output
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> jongie: has the device been in a windows machine?
[12:04] <mka> Buzzard: install gstreamer applications
[12:04] <iceroot> how to get the information if my nic is using 10mb/s,100mb/s or 1gbit/s from the shell (i dont want to know if it is a 1gbit/s nic, i want to know if it is a 1gbit/s connection)
[12:05] <indus> Buzzard: just play the file and codecs will auto download
[12:05] <DJones> moonos: have a look at, this may help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupAndFax
[12:05] <indus> Buzzard: using movie player
[12:05] <moonos> Under Window$ I can use the Winmodem for phone/fax
[12:05] <mka> Buzzard: there is a multimedia HOWTO at ubuntuforums.org
[12:05] <bazhang> Buzzard, install the package ubuntu-restricted-extras
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: ifconfig
[12:05] <coz_> Carsten-,   I cant seem to get to their home page  www.atheme.net
[12:05] <Buzzard> ive got 40 minutes ^^
[12:05] <koowgnojeel> ActionParsnip, Younder thanks :) i'll find out
[12:05] <Buzzard> guess ill have to take a look at that another time
[12:06] <mka> Buzzard: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683
[12:06] <jongie> ActionParsnip: yes, it mounts on windows machine, 3 flash drives will give me that error
[12:06] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: and what is the parameter? have not found anything
[12:06] <dabbill> I just installed a fresh copy of 9.10, i am tryin to make my gnome menus transparent, i have class=gnome-panel & (type=Menu | Tooltip | PopupMenu | DropDownMenu) in the opacify plugin for CompizConfig Settings Manager
[12:06] <GobiTheGoblin> this maybe a stupid question, but where are the menu entries now a days in grub?
[12:06] <jrib> !grub2 | GobiTheGoblin
[12:06] <jongie> ActionParsnip: i mean, 3 flash drives didn't work in ubuntu buy are ok with windows
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> jongie: did you use the safetly remove device icon to remove the device or did you just rip it out?
[12:07] <Carsten-> coz_  try this site their main site hasnt worked in years... http://www.stack.nl/~jilles/irc/#atheme
[12:07] <Buzzard> http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Download (there is no option for normal ubuntu 8.04.3?)
[12:07] <BDOTH> moonos, and everyone else. Just so you know, phone modems on computers are a FCC violation to use in the United States and some parts of Europe. You must purchase a fax machine that is designed and legal for sending faxes. This law for the US started in 2006, in some parts of Europe sense 1999.
[12:07] <knoxville> If I want to make a Download folder only readable for a user, what is the command?
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: usually says in that output the speed its running
[12:07] <bazhang> !ot | BDOTH
[12:07] <jrib> !permissions | knoxville
[12:07] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: not here
[12:07] <Carsten-> coz_ version 4.0.1
[12:08] <coz_> Carsten-,  did you read the  INSTALL  text included?
[12:08] <BDOTH> bazhang, knock it off.
[12:08] <chilli0> Im watching a long video of the intenert in google chromum
[12:08] <Carsten-> i did.
[12:08] <coz_> Carsten-,  seems if you cd to that folder and run  ./setup   it should work
[12:08] <bazhang> BDOTH, stay on topic and remain civil.
[12:08] <Carsten-> did that, no dice.
[12:08] <dabbill> I just installed a fresh copy of 9.10, i am tryin to make my gnome menus transparent, i have class=gnome-panel & (type=Menu | Tooltip | PopupMenu | DropDownMenu) in the opacify plugin for CompizConfig Settings Manager
[12:08] <chilli0> Its saving into my cache file , but after about 40mbs it removes it self from there , and goes into my tmp file
[12:09] <alessandro> !it
[12:09] <coz_> Carsten-,  or   ./configure --prefix=/usr
[12:09] <jongie> ActionParsnip: i can't to remember but surely one reason if fails to mount in ubuntu because of improperly removing the flash drive
[12:09] <coz_> Carsten-,  then make and sudo makeinstall
[12:09] <Carsten-> coz_ also did that. still no dice.
[12:09] <GobiTheGoblin> so before I f-things up again, if I want to add noacpi to the grup I edit /etc/default/grub  -> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"  to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash noacpi" ?
[12:09] <BDOTH> bazhang, I am on optic, he wants to send faxes on Ubuntu through a phone modem. I'm telling him about laws that don't permit that anymore. If you got a problem with that, then dunk your head and a horse troff.
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> jongie: well you would remember as its a step you take. i'm guessing you are ignoring the tool and just ripping devices in and out of your system without removing them gracefully. am I right or correct?
[12:10] <bazhang> BDOTH, that is not appropriate for here, neither are the insults.
[12:10] <boomer84> Can someone check for me if I have locked my apache server down so only <IP_ADDRESS> can access it
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> jongie: that thing  on your system is there for a reason. I suggest you reinsert the device into windows, then remove it properly, then try again
[12:10] <ESEDU> How do i get my files from my memory stick from the command line
[12:10] <llutz> boomer84: netstat -tulpen
[12:10] <ESEDU> I added it and a "sdb" came up in the /dev folder
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> boomer84: are you forwarding port 80 to the system from your router (if yuo are using a router)?
[12:11] <ESEDU> what now
[12:11] <jongie> ActionParsnip: i been thinking of that also, well anyway i'll try inserting it again on windows and properly remove it..many thanks!
[12:11] <chu_> ESEDU - /mnt/<usb> ; cp <filename> <location> ?
[12:11] <BDOTH> bazhang, learn english, it wasn't an insult because I never called you a name or referred to you as something negative. You are starting to wear my patience thin.
[12:11] <Buzzard> http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Download:Kubuntu (where is the download link??)
[12:11] <boomer84> ActionParsnip: I am always accessing the net through different routers.
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> boomer84: otherwise we cant as your router will drop the connections request
[12:12] <boomer84> llutz: if it only lists <IP_ADDRESS> then I am assuming it is locked down?
[12:12] <koowgnojeel> ActionParsnip, Younder did it
[12:12] <llutz> boomer84: yes
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> koowgnojeel: ?
[12:12] <ESEDU> chu_: i dont get it
[12:12] <koowgnojeel> ActionParsnip, Younder http://itechlog.com/linux/2008/12/18/fix-broken-package-ubuntu/ <-- removed my broken package with this way
[12:12] <ESEDU> chu_: wht is <usb> for and the dots ;
[12:12] <koowgnojeel> oops
[12:13] <chu_> Well, <usb> being I don't know what your USB is called.
[12:13] <koowgnojeel> ActionParsnip, Younder thank you both :)

[12:13] <lovre> hi all. I have ubuntu running win7 in virtualbox. I want to install WineD3D to enable hardware accelleration. But i dont seem to have permission to overwrite the file system32/d3d9.dll     even if i run a program by right click -> run as administrator.... does anyone have any clues?
[12:13] <x_> hi all
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> koowgnojeel: i sugest you delete the deb, you can install flash from the repos and it will update too
[12:13] <Buzzard> can my distro of 8.04.3 read pdf files?
[12:13] <koowgnojeel> ActionParsnip, yes :)
[12:13] <x_> flash plug in is plaiyng tricks on me
[12:14] <chu_> ESEDU - The semi-colon cause it splits a command, it's essentially two commands: the first is to cd to your USB (cd /mnt/<usb>) and the second is to copy the file to the destination (cp <filename> <location>)
[12:14] <x_> any ideas anyone?
[12:14] <tigertiger> can somebody tell me how to setup the wireless in ubuntu 9.10
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> boomer84: i get no connection to http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[12:14] <iceroot> !doesntwork | x_
[12:14] <iceroot> !wifi | tigertiger
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> tigertiger: run: sudo lshw -C network    you will see the wifi device listed and you can websearch for its name for guides
[12:14] <ESEDU> chu_: cool cool, but what i am supposed to put in the <usb> field? sdb?
[12:14] <iceroot> Buzzard: sure
[12:15] <chu_> ESEDU - You'd have a better idea than me.
[12:15] <boomer84> Ok cheers ActionParsnip.
[12:15] <boomer84> looks like it is safe, going to chuck up a firewall as well now just in case
[12:15] <Buzzard> ty
[12:15] <chu_> ESEDU - cd /mnt/ and then ls the directory contents ... it should be fairly visible which is th USB I guess.
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> boomer84: want a tinfoil hat with that?
[12:16] <iceroot> !pdf | Buzzard
[12:16] <ESEDU> chu_: thers nothing there
[12:16] <knoxville> How do I connect to a proftpd server on lan?
[12:16] <tigertiger> I mean i open the window of "NetWork connections"   ,
[12:16] <Younder> Bomer84, check upu UFW. before going directly to ipfingers
[12:16] <llutz> boomer84: "firewall"? why? if there's nothing listening, nothing can come in
[12:16] <Buzzard> http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/download.php What do I download there?
[12:16] <iceroot> knoxville: use a ftp client like firefox, nautilus, filezilla
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> knoxville: use an ftp client or web browser and browse to ftp://username@servername
[12:16] <Younder> It's simpleer to operate
[12:16] <chu_> ESEDU - try cd /media
[12:16] <Buzzard> http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/download.php What do I download there(for use in linux)?
[12:17] <iceroot> Buzzard: sudo apt-get install evince
[12:17] <tigertiger> in the window ,  the tab "wireless"  how to set up  "ssid"  ,"bssid",  mac address and MTU
[12:17] <ESEDU> cdrom cdrom0 floppy floppy0
[12:17] <x_> the flash player sometimes doesnt respond, it just plays the video -doesnt pause, doesnt play on full screen or anything else- and at times it plays perfectly
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> knoxville: you can use ftp clients like gftp or filezilla to connect and simply fill out the connection info and it will connect
[12:17] <Younder> Though I wish there was something as simlpe as ZoneAarm
[12:17] <Younder> alarm
[12:17] <moonos> BDOTH: I'm in Australia and no problems with Mightyfax and computer faxing. I read the article you referred me to. Thnkx. But there is no mention of "Winmodem". I have tried 'Martian drivers' to no avail so cannot use them.
[12:17] <iceroot> Younder: for what?
[12:17] <alessandro> !it
[12:17] <Younder> iceberg, firewalling..
[12:17] <llutz> Younder: "sudo apt-get install snake-oil"  scnr
[12:17] <Buzzard> i dont get it
[12:17] <Buzzard> ^^
[12:18] <iceroot> Younder: ufw, also you dont need a (personal) firewall on linux
[12:18]  * Buzzard goes off to read his ubuntu for dummies
[12:18] <ESEDU> chu: cdrom cdrom0 floppy floppy0
[12:18] <chu_> Yeah, I don't know... Mine is always in /mnt
[12:18] <ibmx61> hi,i have a question,is there a best qq soft for ubuntu? i like EVA,but it's not stable.
[12:18] <Younder> iceroot, no?
[12:18] <iceroot> Younder: for what?
[12:18] <ESEDU> chu: by what name?
[12:18] <x_> !flash
[12:18] <Younder> iceroot, for worm attacks..
[12:18] <iceroot> Younder: on linux?
[12:18] <musty_> The upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 how big is it "as an upgrade" to download
[12:19] <iceroot> Younder: there are no worms, viruses, trojans and so on
[12:19] <boomer84> llutz: because I want a firewall anyway ;-)
[12:19] <ooypp> ibmx6, what about web qq
[12:19] <iceroot> Younder: this is not windows .)
[12:19] <ibmx61> today EVA cant link to internet
[12:19] <chu_> Hey, it's actually in /media
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> musty_: depends on how many packages you have installed, if you have every single package available installed on your system it will take greatly longer than a system with only a desktop and firefox on, won't it
[12:19] <llutz> boomer84: additional (pointless) software makes systems less safe
[12:19] <Younder> iceroot, yes, on linux. Just because you dont have as many viruses doesn't mean tat people aren't hacking your macine.
[12:20] <chu_> Anyway, I have it dual partitioned, so it's going to be different to what yours is called anyway
[12:20] <iceroot> Younder: you dont need a firewall
[12:20] <Younder> iceroot, they are and they do get in. So prepare
[12:20] <boomer84> llutz: I live on the road so I connect constantly using different unsecured wifi connections
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> musty_: with a standard system youwill pull down about 500Mb (ish) but again this can vary
[12:20] <ESEDU> chu: could it be that "floppy"?
[12:20] <Younder> iceroot, that is simmply untrue
[12:20] <chu_> I would hve though a floppy is a floppy, but maybe?
[12:20] <ESEDU> no its not
[12:20] <musty_> ActionParsnip, meh, thanks.
[12:20] <llutz> boomer84: vpn is your friend, not pointless software
[12:20] <ESEDU> its not here :(
[12:21] <iceroot> Younder: yes but you dont need a firewall, you have to configure your daemons correctly
[12:21] <dabbill> I just installed a fresh copy of 9.10, i am tryin to make my gnome menus transparent, i have class=gnome-panel & (type=Menu | Tooltip | PopupMenu | DropDownMenu) in the opacify plugin for CompizConfig Settings Manager
[12:21] <Chaitu> Greetings All. I've installed compiz but don't see any effects happening, Can anyone please help me?
[12:21] <Joker19820502> Prompt where to find please people from city Fribourg
[12:21] <x_> iceroot the flash player sometimes doesnt respond, it just plays the video -doesnt pause, doesnt play on full screen or anything else- and at times it plays perfectly
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> Chaitu: you need to run:   compiz --replace    use the alt+f2  dialogue
[12:21] <iceroot> x_: amd64?
[12:21] <ibmx61> ooypp,webqq is good ,but i like client
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> Chaitu: if it doesnt work, run it from terminal and you can see whats up
[12:22] <mrXX> ActionParsnip hey dude what up
[12:22] <x_> chaitu right click on the desktop and click on change desktop back ground
[12:22] <Chaitu> I understand that command but what's alt+f2 ActionParsnip ?
[12:22] <x_> iceroot yes
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> Chaitu: you need to have 3D accelleration
[12:22] <Younder> iceroot, a firewall stealches the ports to the can't so easelly use exploits. Are you sure you know ALL exploits on your deamond?
[12:22] <Chaitu> I have 3D for sure
[12:22] <boomer84> llutz: I have a VPN I can use but it is in the UK and I am in Malaysia. It is not the  fastest. Also I don't think I understand why a VPN would be a security measure
[12:22] <iceroot> x_: ask ActionParsnip about flash 64 bit and your problems, he had a good solutions some weeks ago for me
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> Chaitu: its a key combination, on the keyboard. press and hold alt then press f2
[12:22] <mofux> hi, i've tried to install the prop ati drivers (fgrlx) and failed miserably (probably because 9.10 drivers don't support my R850 chipset)... now i wonder... is there a way to convert back to the old "default" drivers (I'm using karmic)
[12:22] <tgpraveen1> anyone what does ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata contain?
[12:23] <tgpraveen1> is it safe to delete it's contents
[12:23] <mrXX> ActionParsnip I have some problem with compiz as well, When i shut down the ubuntu, it says "The screen is not composited"
[12:23] <iceroot> Younder: on linux only ports are opened where a daemon is running, the rest is closed. try nmap to see it
[12:23] <damien__> anyone know how to get rid of the duplicate entries in the Places menu in Nautilus?
[12:23] <Younder> iceroot, are there services you weren't aware you were running?
[12:23] <damien__> i have 2 sshfs entries in fstab and they get doubled up once mounted
[12:23] <mrXX> What does it mean when it says "The screen is not composited" during the shutdown? what is the soln?
[12:23] <x_> actionparship the flash player sometimes doesnt respond, it just plays the video -doesnt pause, doesnt play on full screen or anything else- and at times it plays perfectly
[12:23] <iceroot> Younder: what for e.g.?
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> mrXX: not sure, ask in #compiz
[12:24] <Chaitu> ActionParsnip, : When i typed that command my screen flickered and nothing else happened
[12:24] <iceroot> Younder: should i block my apache or my mail-server? they need to be reached from outside
[12:24] <Younder> iceroot, try looking at the ipfingers website
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> Chaitu: then run the command from terminal, see whats up
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> x_: firstly uninstall ALL flashes, like gnash or swfdec of flashplugin-nonfree etc
[12:24] <Chaitu> ActionParsnip, : I did that -- replace command in terminal
[12:24] <llutz> boomer84: because nothing connectable should listen  on your external address, all traffic is tunneled through vpn
[12:24] <Younder> iceroot, no, just log
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> x_: if you provide a pastebin of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf   I can add that to the big command I'm gonna give you
[12:25] <iceroot> Younder: feel free to use iptbales, i dont need something like that because its not needed
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> Chaitu: have you configured video drivers?
[12:25] <GobiTheGoblin> if someone has a problem with tx2000 (laptop) and overheating, FYI adding acpi_osi=Linux to the grub helps. I just tested to hd videos + few flash videos + games without actually crashing due overheating.
[12:25] <Chaitu> yes ActionParsnip
[12:25] <x_> action parsnip .. from synaptic?
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> !paste | x_
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> x_: no in terminal, run that command then use the pastebin to give the output
[12:25] <Younder> iceroot, iptables is indeed overkill, UFW is not!
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> Chaitu: then run: ccsm and add plugins and extras, see if they come to life
[12:26] <iceroot> Younder: ufw is using iptables :)
[12:26] <duffydack> whats the command again to refresh the panel/menu entries?
[12:26] <duffydack> an app isnt appearing in menu
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> Chaitu: i dont use compiz but i can logically get you to test it
[12:26] <boomer84> Karmic has iptables running by default right?
[12:26] <Chaitu> ActionParsnip, : am sorry am new to this. Are you asking me to run ccsm as a command in terminal?
[12:26] <llutz> Younder:  ufw - program for managing a netfilter firewall      so what do you think it uses?
[12:26] <tgpraveen1> anyone what does ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata contain?
[12:26] <Younder> iceroot, under the hood, the point is it is simpler to set up and somewhat less powerful for it.
[12:26] <tgpraveen1>  is it safe to delete it's contents
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> Chaitu: in alt+f2 if you wish, it achieves the same end
[12:27] <iceroot> Younder: and now letrs stop this discussion. a firewall is not needed, if you need one, feel free to use ufw, iptbales or something else
[12:27] <llutz> boomer84: it has
[12:27] <Chaitu> great.. I see compiz config popping up... I checked everything or most of it...how do I test it now?
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> x_: run the command, it will give output, copy it with mouse and paste to the pastebin, add yor name and click paste. When the page changes, copy the address and paste in here
[12:28] <boomer84> cool ty. Guess that is all the protection I really need.
[12:28] <x_> actionparsnip iwhat s pastpin
[12:28] <Younder> iceroot, it's like locking your door when you leave. You do it or you live with the consequences, when a intruder appears..
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> !paste | x_
[12:29] <iceroot> Younder: tell me a scenario where a firewall is protecting me on linux
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> x_: go to http://pastebin.com   and use that, its a utility to provide multilined outputs without scroling the channel
[12:29] <llutz> boomer84: iptables-ability with empty ruleset
[12:29] <iceroot> Younder: i am using apache and postfix, so tell me a scenario where a firewall is protecting me
[12:29] <Younder> iceberg, I'll do better.. Look at the website www.prank.org
[12:29] <iceroot> Younder: both should be access from outside of course
[12:30] <iceroot> Younder: should i block port 80 with the firewall?
[12:30] <Younder> iceroot, or www.antionline.org
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> x_: i can make it REAL easy if you like
[12:30] <iceroot> Younder: please dont post links, post your opinion
[12:31] <Younder> iceroot, no, not if you are using it externally
[12:31] <x_> did it work?
[12:31] <iceroot> Younder: and for internal i am using a router/gateway
[12:31] <ibmx61> how to uninstall qcad completelly
[12:31] <iceroot> Younder: mabye nat
[12:31] <x_> i pasted the line and sent it there
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> x_: you didnt copy and paste the address in the address bar into the channel
[12:31] <x_> :)
[12:31] <x_> http://pastebin.com/m5655017e
[12:32] <Younder> iceroot, in order for you to understand the therat you must read up. I can't possible, and probaly shouldn't, explain it all here.
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> x_: great, is that for ALL the command I gave you?
[12:32] <x_> that was the out come
[12:32] <Nith> iceroot: NAT, limiting who accesses SSH, stopping anyone from exploiting a bug before ubuntu patches it
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> x_: ok run this:
[12:32] <Nith> either way, Younder is right, there's another channel for this discussion
[12:32] <iceroot> Nith: fail2ban is doing that very well
[12:32] <x_> http://pastebin.com/m6e00d1d8
[12:33] <Nith> the exploitation of bugs is a bigger issue than ssh
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> x_: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get --pure autoremove; mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins; cd ~/.mozilla/plugins; wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-<IP_ADDRESS>.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz; tar zxvf ./libflashplayer-<IP_ADDRESS>.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz; rm./libflashplayer-<IP_ADDRESS>.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
[12:33] <llutz> Nith: " limiting who accesses SSH" is to be done by sshd, not by external software
[12:33] <dabbill> I just installed a fresh copy of 9.10, i am tryin to make my gnome menus transparent, i have class=gnome-panel & (type=Menu | Tooltip | PopupMenu | DropDownMenu) in the opacify plugin for CompizConfig Settings Manager
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> x_: removes the package, downloads the plugin, extracts it then cleans up
[12:33] <ibmx61> today ,is there anybody can login in eva?
[12:34] <ranjan> can any body can tell me how to upgrade ubuntu 9.4 to 9.10 by using .iso file
[12:34] <Nith> llutz: firewall can be used to stop people from trying, I've never used fail2ban before though
[12:34] <Tricks> I have a linux machine hosting trixbox that is running out of diskspace, anybody know how I locate where the majority is being used?
[12:34] <iceroot> Tricks: du
[12:34] <Nith> Tricks: use "df -sh" to figure out what drive"
[12:34] <llutz> Nith: it's more clever to close the door instead of building high fences around
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> x_: close all firefoxes (make sure they are all dead with   ps -ef | grep -i fire)  then rerun, you now have 64bit flash to match your 64bit ubuntu :)
[12:35] <Nith> llutz: true, but bugs leave windows open, and the fence stops people from crawling in before you find them
[12:35] <ranjan> can any body can tell me how to upgrade ubuntu 9.4 to 9.10 by using .iso file
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> x_: thats how I install flash
[12:35] <jrib> ranjan: you can only do so using the alternate cd iso
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> ranjan: you need the laternative ISO
[12:35] <jrib> !upgrade > ranjan
[12:35] <Tricks> ok got the drive
[12:36] <llutz> Nith: wrong, it just increases complexness which decreases security
[12:36] <Tricks> 57mb available

[12:37] <ActionParsnip> x_: sorry: this command will sort the last bit: rm ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer-<IP_ADDRESS>.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> x_: you can now proceed with the firefox kil and rerun

[12:41] <pronoy> Nith: oh ! man, i can't believe it ! vista has one that works !
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> pronoy: possibly is the only real answer, just make sure your backups are recent enough and play away
[12:41] <llutz> pronoy: so go and use vista
[12:42] <Younder> Kontagoius: that makes no sence
[12:42] <pronoy> ActionParsnip: backup is something i can't do, tons of stuff.
[12:42] <pronoy> llutz: dude ?
[12:42] <kontagious> Younder: i know it makes no sense. thats why im confused
[12:42] <DJones> ActionParsnip: That sound mute link you just posted, is that a fix for sound being muted at every boot up on karmic
[12:42] <Nith> pronoy: if you're going to use gparted, defragment the drive first
[12:42] <Younder> Kontagoius: gimme the model nr.
[12:43] <kontagious> i can select the language with the keyboard but then i cant do anything
[12:43] <jongie> vj20001: you can use pastebin.ca to post config files and error and also anybody here can see your post and provide their help
[12:43] <kontagious> model number of my mouse?
[12:43] <Younder> yes
[12:43] <pronoy> llutz: what was that about ? I've been using ubuntu for about 2 years now, and i completely migrated from windows. Now what I meant was even though vista is a fail OS it still has something that ubuntu is not sure about

[12:52] <Younder> s7: I have a custom nvidea driver.
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> jcrawford: all that will give you 64bit flash, you cannot have any flash plugins installed or it will conflict and you wil get nothing
[12:52] <Meowpup> Younder: s7 driver for what
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> jcrawford: as its unpackaged too, you will need to manually check for updates
[12:52] <jcrawford> ActionParsnip, so i should not do the apt command damien__ said to do>?

[13:05] <Younder> flash works fine under firefox, and is a bummer under gogle crome, here
[13:05] <dutchbuntu> jcrawford: which Ubuntu version?
[13:05] <jcrawford> 9.10
[13:05] <ESEDU> llutz: what is my cups.box adress. my machine name is "server". so does that make it "server.localdomain"
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> jcrawford:  gnome-do is in the 9.10 repos...
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> jcrawford:  and that guide is for 9.04 it seems
[13:05] <llutz> ESEDU: yes,
[13:06] <Younder> update, with the newest release it works
[13:06] <dutchbuntu> jcrawford: revert or changes and install gnome-do from repos
[13:06] <jcrawford> will do, sec
[13:06] <MenZa> jcrawford: I just had that issue just now. killall -9 gnome-do && gnome-do did it.
[13:07] <jcrawford> MenZa, thanks
[13:07] <Younder> try a heavy site like bbc.co.uk or www.aftenposten.no
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> Gnomedo howto: http://pastie.org/695342
[13:07] <Younder> that will make or break a browser

[13:13] <tiger> I don't know
[13:13] <tiger> how to do

[13:15] <bazhang> tiger, system administration language support
[13:15] <Younder> go to system language support and select french
[13:16] <bazhang> Younder, froggy is not appropriate for here.
[13:16] <tiger> then I try .
[13:16] <tiger> it
[13:16] <Younder> perhaps french is
[13:17] <bazhang> tiger, once you have it open, choose the languages you wish to install (there is a long list)
[13:17] <e3co> how can I install a custom bootloader into the mbr of a usb drive
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> e3co:  read up on grub, or syslinux. dependoign on what bootlopader you want to use.
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> !grub2
[13:18] <ward-> so my mirror gives my 403 errors.... (forbidden0
[13:18] <ward-> whos is responsible for the mirrors?
[13:18] <ward-> i wanna report this
[13:18] <renato> hi, I have a problems with fail2ban that does not start, no messages, log is empty
[13:18] <ward-> this is the<PHONE_NUMBER>63 time this happens
[13:18] <ward-> imho they should kick the mirror of the list
[13:19] <e3co> Dr_Willis:  It has been written in asm, there is no page for it. I just need to know how to install something to the mbr on a usb drive
[13:19] <e3co> its not grub or lilo
[13:19] <Valentina> Younder: How do you mean? I want to find out whatever a string contains a replacement character after encoding.
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> e3co:  Err.. proper and CAREFULL use of the dd command then perhaps?
[13:19] <ward-> e3co, so what do you wanna install to your usb stick?
[13:19] <Valentina> Younder: I want to find out if a string has got a replacement characters after I have encoded it.
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> !motu | ward-
[13:19] <ward-> thanx ActionParsnip
[13:20] <e3co> ward-: I have been trying to write a kernel I need a boot loader to start. That i have pieced together, but I don't know how to install to mbr. I will look at the dd command
[13:20] <e3co> man
[13:20] <e3co> thanks Dr_Willis
[13:21] <ward-> :s
[13:21] <Nith> e3co: your wants scream syslinuz to me
[13:21] <e3co> Nith:  how so?
[13:22] <Younder> Valentina, sound a bit spesific. wanna move that one to say #python?
[13:22] <Nith> e3co: because it's small, and meant for booting a single kernel
[13:22] <Nith> e3co: it's used on most live usbs (and I think live cds too)
[13:22] <e3co> Nith:  oh, no I really want to use the one I have been working on, thanks though
[13:23] <e3co> Its just goofy curiousity
[13:23] <Nith> of the boot loader or kernel?
[13:23] <e3co> Nith:  both
[13:24] <Nith> ahh, ok; then I agree dd is the way to go
[13:24] <Nith> e3co: good luck
[13:24] <e3co> Nith:  thanks
[13:25] <Younder> dd is VERY low level
[13:25] <om26er> Younder: +1
[13:26] <e3co> I see of=/filename but nothing about mbr
[13:26] <bradland> does ubuntu still use the contents of /etc/network/interfaces?
[13:26] <bradland> when I change the settings in the GUI interface inside ubuntu, the contents of that file doesn't appear to change
[13:26] <Lewis> what do i type into the terminal to get my wireless adaptor (Realtek RTL8192E Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC) to work?
[13:27] <iceroot> how to see my ram-moduls? something 512mb, 512mb, 256mb so i can see how many moduls i have and the size. or how to get the real ram? free -m is giving mit 3294MB (what is 3294mb, 3GB = 3072)
[13:27] <Valentina> Younder: Yeah, I don't really know where to begin, but I'll try python.
[13:27] <llutz> bradland: interfaces is used by ifupdown, your gui is networkmanager. different jobs
[13:27] <Cilyan> Hello !
[13:28] <Younder> Valentina, good choice. I love Python
[13:28] <Cilyan> I have a problem with my Atheros wifi card
[13:28] <Cilyan> It seems that it is not on, butI can't power it up
[13:28] <Younder> Valentina, anyhow you need a programming lanuage
[13:29] <bradland> llutz: i see. so with a default ubuntu install, is there a file i can edit (through an SSH session) to control the networking config? i'm admining some laptops remotely, an i really don't like using VNC. i'd much rather just SSH, and I'm used to admining boxes which i've built using debian netinstall and built up from there.
[13:29] <Cilyan> Is there a way to check the card is active and if not to force it up ?
[13:29] <cuong> hello everyone!
[13:29] <Cilyan> ifconfig wlan0 up gives error 132, and echo "up" > /sys/class/net/wlan0/operstate gives permission denied (as root)
[13:29] <llutz> bradland: sorry no clue, i don't use/like networkmanager, but i doubt theres a file to edit
[13:29] <Lewis> someone PLEASE help me sort out my Realtek wireless card :/
[13:29] <cuong> i have a small feature requests, where can i submit it?
[13:30] <Younder> hi there cuong
[13:30] <cuong> hi Y
[13:30] <bradland> llutz: yeah, i can see why ;) thanks for the info. i'll do some reading on network manager. i wonder if it's possible to just remove it and revert to ifupdown
[13:30] <e3co> dd if=/dev/bootloader.bin of=mbr.bin bs=440 count=1   Something like this?
[13:30] <llutz> bradland: it is
[13:31] <llutz> bradland: even wifi can be configured via ifupdown, just needs a little bit more reading maybe
[13:31] <Younder> chuong: better to place them on the web site, my thinks
[13:31] <e3co> nevermind thats to back up existing mbr
[13:32] <renato> can anybody help me out with fail2ban? it just does not start  and leaves no log
[13:32] <Lewis> How do i get my Realtek RTL8192E Wireless LAN to work?
[13:32] <bradland> llutz: fortunately, we won't need wifi on these machines. they're acting as "portable" server machines running wireshark and ntop. the client moves them from location to location based on where they are having network congestion issues.
[13:32] <fanboi> is it possible to have no gnome panels at all I can't seem to get rid of the one at the top of my desktop
[13:32] <Arabus1> How do I find out, if my processor is a 64bit or 32 bit version, in ubuntu?
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> Lewis: you may have to use ndiswrapper
[13:32] <llutz> bradland: in that case, configuring network should be easy without nm
[13:32] <Lewis> ActionParsnip: Could you talk me through getting that to make it work please?
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> Arabus1: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model   then websearch the name for info
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> Lewis: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
[13:33] <llutz> bradland: there are expample-configs in /usr/share/doc/ifupdown
[13:33] <Younder> Arabus1; you go into syetem> adminstration > System testng
[13:33] <llutz> bradland: just remove networkmanager
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> Lewis: then grab the windows driver that matches your ubuntu architecture (32bit or 64bit) and install using that gui
[13:34] <Younder> Koenigsegg, you into cars?
[13:34] <Arabus1> ActionParsnip: thanks I used lshw though it already told me that ithe cpu has a width of 32 bits
[13:34] <bradland> llutz: rockin'. you've given me some great leads. thank you so much.
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> Lewis: if you cant get any network access, you will need another ubuntu system, install the app then copy the debs to some removable media to put in the system to then install
[13:34] <llutz> bradland: np
[13:35] <dr4g> I need to setup FTP access to an existing development server. What easy-to-configure FTP server do you recommend ?#
[13:35] <Lewis> ActionParsnip: it said nothing about that? It asked me for my password, and then it said a bunch of stuff i don't understand :/
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> Arabus1: aaah so it does, like it :D
[13:35] <llutz> dr4g: vsftpd
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> Lewis: its installing the package
[13:35] <Younder> Last I checked koningsegg was into swedish supercars.
[13:35] <dr4g> vsftpd ok i will investigate
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> Lewis: if you have web access it will access the web to grab the package
[13:36] <jcrawford> damn so much easier to do this on Ubuntu than Fedora :) http://theblogosaurus.com/mac-flower-key-command-key-for-ubuntu/
[13:36] <dr4g> llutz, is there an apt-get package for it ?
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> Lewis: you can insert the cd you used to install the OS and install the version on there
[13:36] <llutz> dr4g: vsftpd
[13:36] <jcrawford> I had to use xmodmap on Fedora to get the remapping to work, glad to see this support in Ubuntu :)
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> Lewis: you will need the .inf and .sys file from the driver for the card
[13:36] <Younder> that said I prefer ncftp
[13:36] <e3co> Dr_Willis:  dd if=/dev/usbdrive of=/home/r3l1c/MBRboot.bin bs=512 count=2  How about that?
[13:37] <dr4g> llutz, looks like i already installed it :S
[13:37] <AmokPaule> I used to use putty to coneckt tio my server, but since it crashes a lot on win 7 i seached for an alternative, i found tera term, someone has used that?
[13:37] <courpse> lol.
[13:37] <Younder> lol
[13:37] <llutz> e3co:  count=1
[13:37] <e3co> hmm why?
[13:37] <mcrandello> anyone know how to make the proprietary drivers become "available in the current data" in the software center?
[13:37] <Younder> AmokPaule, nop
[13:37] <tom05> who tell me where is #ubuntu-fr  please ?
[13:38] <llutz> e3co: mbr = 512bytes
[13:38] <Lewis> ActionParsnip: I'm really lost. I only have internet access right now because of the ethernet cable; im just trying to enable wireless. Why am i putting CD's in etc.? The last thing the terminal said was: Setting up ndiswrapper-common (1.53-2ubuntu1) ...
[13:38] <Lewis> Setting up ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 (1.53-2ubuntu1) ...
[13:38] <Lewis> Setting up ndisgtk (0.8.4-1) ...
[13:38] <Lewis>  and it hasn't said anything since.
[13:38] <FloodBot1> Lewis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:38] <e3co> AmokPaule:  Why not run ubuntu server in Virtualbox?
[13:38] <Pici> tom05: type: /join #ubuntu-fr
[13:38] <courpse> tom05, Um... #ubuntu-fr
[13:38] <mcrandello> jockey ain't finding them after install and daddy needs 3d graphics
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> Lewis: thats fine, the application has installed. You have a lot to learn
[13:38] <tom05> ok thank
[13:38] <Pici> AmokPaule: For Windows applications, please ask in ##windows
[13:38] <dr4g> llutz, any idea where the user password documentroot configuration lies ?
[13:38] <mafa> AmokPaule: yes tera term is ok
[13:38] <dr4g> . /etc/vsftpd.conf is not the place.
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> Lewis: run: uname -a    and paste the output here. This is ok as the output is only one line
[13:39] <mcrandello> I already enabled pretty much everything in software sources
[13:39] <e3co> dd if=/dev/usbdrive of=/home/r3l1c/MBRboot.image mbr=512 count=1   ?
[13:39] <llutz> dr4g: /etc/vsftp....
[13:39] <AmokPaule> Ok thanks all
[13:39] <dr4g> llutz, tried that
[13:39] <Younder> dr4g, It doesn't it just doesn't tell you the whole truth
[13:39] <dr4g> nothing but the .conf file
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> Lewis: you can copy / paste to ad from the terminal
[13:39] <llutz> e3co: /etc/vsftpd.conf
[13:39] <Lewis> ActionParsinp: I know. I'm a complete UNIX noob; its scary stuff. Um this is what the -a thing did: Linux lewis-laptop 2.6.28-16-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 20 19:48:24 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> Lewis: ok so your kernel is 32bit (i686 == 32bit)
[13:39] <Younder> dr4g, sort of standard for life, don't you think?
[13:40] <llutz> e3co: help provided by "man vsftpd.conf"
[13:40] <dr4g> Younder, what ?
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> Lewis: so if you go to the manufacturers site of te device and download the XP driver (32bit) for your device you can get it working
[13:40] <e3co> llutz:  a configuration file for vsftpd is going to help me write to mbr?
[13:40] <llutz> e3co: sry, wrong person
[13:40] <Pici> Younder: If you're just going to be random, #ubuntu-offtopic is a better place to be, we like to keep #ubuntu noise free and for support issues only.
[13:40] <Younder> dr4g, ybuntu doen't supply you with a root password.
[13:40] <Lewis> ActionParsnip: Yup; i didn't know i could even get 64bit. Im sure my laptop could handle it but i don't want to complicate things further for myself, and okay will do thank you
[13:41] <e3co> llutz:  :)
[13:41] <dr4g> llutz, the vsfptd.conf file does not contain user configuration.
[13:41] <dr4g> yousef, i'm not sure what you're talking about.
[13:41] <llutz> dr4g: man vsftpd.conf
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> Lewis: 64bit is equally supported, if you just want a simple system and have less or equal to 3Gb RAM, 32bit is fine
[13:41] <mcrandello> anyone at all know what "not available in the current data" means?
[13:41] <Younder> Pici: there's no recource for that remark.
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> Lewis: if you do lots of encoding of audio / dvds / video then 64bit can give a boost
[13:41] <e3co> Younder: dd if=/dev/usbdrive of=/home/r3l1c/MBRboot.image mbr=512 count=1  ????
[13:42] <llutz> e3co: delete that mbr=512
[13:42] <e3co> oh yeah I see
[13:42] <Younder> e3co, you need a of there somewhere
[13:42] <llutz> e3co: "dd if=/dev/usbdrive of=/home/r3l1c/MBRboot.image  count=1"
[13:43] <e3co> of=/home/r3l1c/MBRboot.image count=1
[13:43] <knoxville> Where do I find my DNS record? The DNS servers i'm using?
[13:43] <e3co> cool thanks
[13:43] <Younder> a 'of='
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> knoxville: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[13:43] <llutz> knoxville: /etc/resolv.conf
[13:43] <llutz> Younder: pls stop that
[13:44] <Younder> llutz, stop what?
[13:44] <jcrawford> sorry for all the join/part just trying to get irc all setup and it's done now :)
[13:45] <e3co> Younder:  llutz: Thanks
[13:45] <jcrawford> bbiab
[13:45] <jcrawford> time to work
[13:45] <skullbox> anyone know how to exit the running xsession after a ctrl+alt+f1?
[13:45] <Lewis> ActionParsnip: Okay so im downloading the XP driver for the Realtek RTL8192E driver. When it's done, then what?
[13:45] <Pici> skullbox: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop
[13:45] <skullbox> thnx
[13:46] <jcrawford> hey is there anything like Growl on the mac for Ubuntu?  Basically just pops translucent windows up when applications have to get your attention?  I ask because I don't have IRC on my main workspace and I still want to be notified of messages etc.
[13:46] <mcrandello> please any help appreciated- what do I need to enable to see "NVidia binary X.Org driver ('version 185' driver)"
[13:47] <mcrandello> I know it's available somewhere as it's in software center
[13:47] <i_is_broke> mcrandello, did you install the driver?
[13:47] <abdel_> hello!
[13:47] <psychuil> question: how can i access the part of my liveusb which isn't taken by ubuntu? i should have roughly 200MB
[13:48] <mcrandello> i_is_broke: no, software center says "not available in current data" whatever that means
[13:48] <abdel_> i can't run gnome-main-menu
[13:48] <Younder> mcrandello, i use a nvidea system, it needs to be installed from their web site.
[13:48] <mcrandello> guessing it means the repo I need isn't available
[13:48] <abdel_> the program doesn't exist
[13:48] <i_is_broke> mcrandello, also install the config for it too.
[13:48] <Cilyan> So if you have troubles with Atheros AR5001 go here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/464559
[13:48] <mcrandello> Younder: strange thing is jockey saw my card and package etc. on the CD
[13:49] <jcrawford> anyone know?
[13:49] <i_is_broke> !nivida
[13:49] <mcrandello> *I mean when running the livecd
[13:49] <Younder> mcrandello, do a google search on modell number
[13:49] <dr4g> llutz, Doest vsftpd only work against local users? or can i setup a FTP user which doesn't necessary have a home directory onthe Linux box.
[13:49] <i_is_broke> grrr
[13:49] <i_is_broke> !ati
[13:50] <Younder> mcrandello, for these custom divers, you need to install from their web site
[13:50] <abdel_> can someone help me with my gnome-main-menu problem?
[13:50] <psychuil> question: how can i access the part of my liveusb which isn't taken by ubuntu? i should have roughly 200MB
[13:50] <Dnrock> Problem with wireless for Hp 6535s. Have no driver for wireless. how is resovel ?
[13:50] <mcrandello> Younder: The driver is listed in the software center
[13:50] <i_is_broke> psychuil, is it partitioned? and have you tried with gparted?
[13:50] <mcrandello> the LiveCD detected and tried to install the drivers just fine
[13:51] <psychuil> i_is_broke: i used some auto maker which formatted it as FAT16
[13:51] <i_is_broke> mcrandello, then try to access it threw software center
[13:51] <psychuil> Don't know anything beyond that
[13:51] <Younder> mcrandello, NVIDEA has custom drivers which are better..
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> Lewis: extract the files, you need a .inf and a .sys file
[13:51] <mcrandello> i_is_broke: "Not available in the current data"
[13:51] <MrPiracy> is there an specific room for Grub2 questions?
[13:51] <mcrandello> what does that even mean?
[13:52] <Younder> Ignore me at your own perill
[13:52] <i_is_broke> mcrandello, which means you will need to get the driver from nvidia...and install
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> MrPiracy: theres #grub with 50-odd users
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> i_is_broke: not using the repo?
[13:52] <MrPiracy> ActionParsnip: that's what i was afraid to hear :(
[13:52] <i_is_broke> ActionParsnip, he tried using the repo.
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> i_is_broke: strange, oh well
[13:53] <mcrandello> so noone knows then
[13:53] <i_is_broke> ugh head desk...bbl
[13:53] <bazhang> Younder, the recommended method is not from nvidia website, but via the package manager.
[13:54] <emile> is there a (3rd party) repository for karmic with l7-filter (or any other suggestions for preventing ssh tunneling through squid proxy)
[13:54] <jcrawford> ok so i was just reading about how they were working on putting a notification system into 9.04 does that mean it's in 9.10 or did they ditch the idea?
[13:55] <Younder> bazhang, no, not for NVIDEA drivers, read again!
[13:55] <mcrandello> so would I want to file a bug report on jockey-gtk or USS for this?
[13:55] <alexis> hi!
[13:56] <silvering> guis, i got a problem with JFS filesystem, cant mount it
[13:56] <Dnrock> Problem with wireless for Hp 6535s. any idea ???
[13:56] <silvering> guys*
[13:56] <pkkm> how can I get image dimensions in CLI?
[13:56] <iceroot> !details | Dnrock
[13:56] <mcrandello> Also the binary driver instructions on the wiki are for 8.10
[13:57] <HexTasy> My network pxe boot/tftp traffic is painfully slow lately, does anyone have any suggestions of how I might track down this problem?
[13:57] <olly_>  trying i'm trying to compile a kernel with ubuntu 9.10... in the docs it says i have to change debian/rules.d/amd64.mk, i assume its debian.master/rules.d/amd64.mk. furthermore, i have to edit debian/control.stub and debian/control, but in debian.master, i only find a control.stub.in. what to do?
[13:58] <alberto> Hello everyone
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> pkkm: imagemagick tools (spelling?) can do thgat i think
[13:58] <alberto> I got a problem
[13:58] <alberto> A sound problem
[13:58] <alberto> Nothing sounds in my system at all
[13:58] <alberto> Yesterday did.
[13:58] <Younder> alberto, oh that one
[13:58] <alberto> I use Ubuntu 9
[13:58] <silvering> sorry, i got 2 HDD, one 80GB with OS, and one 160 with files, this one - 160GB is JFS formatted. I just installed ubuntu, before that i was using it with debian. And now, with the ubuntu, i open it once from Places without editing Fstab ot mounting it from the console, now i`m trying to mount it from the console and i cant, i got the wrong fs type, bad option bad superblock error
[13:59] <Dnrock> i have problem with wireless, i'm running ubuntu 9.10. it no have driver for my wireless card. im using laptop Hp 6535s. some one help me find driver for this, or another way to make it work ???
[13:59] <Younder> alberto, You need to enable sound for the client
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> silvering:  whats the exact command you are using to moun tit?
[13:59] <alberto> Younder You have the same problem?
[13:59] <silvering> mount -t jfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/Data
[13:59] <Younder> alberto, I take it you have created a user
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> silvering:  thats the generic 'mount cant figure it out error message' by the way. :)
[13:59] <silvering> so, what should i do?
[13:59] <MenZa> Dnrock: More details about your actual card could probably help us help you; Open a Terminal (Applications → Accessories → Terminal) and type 'lspci' - paste the output in a !pastebin
[14:00] <Younder> alberto, yes, I did
[14:00] <alberto> Younder I didn't
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> silvering:  check fdisk -l output, or perhaps fsck it could be the filesystem needs checked.. Ive never used jfs. so cant  advice much more
[14:00] <alberto> YOunder I didn't create any user
[14:00] <Pretto> hey guys, I have a notebook here that only boot if I have a pendrive plugged in any usb port, any idea on how to solve this?
[14:00] <Dnrock> !paste
[14:00] <zaidka> hi, everytime my usb modem disconnects i can't reconnect unless i change it from pppconfig from /dev/ttyACM0 to /dev/ttyACM1. Can anyone help me?
[14:00] <renato> how do I verify the version of  an ubuntu server?
[14:00] <Younder> alberto, well than it should work
[14:01] <Younder> alberto, clearly it doesn't
[14:01] <bazhang> Younder, what does creating a user have to with sound issues
[14:01] <Younder> alberto, let's diagnose
[14:01] <Pici> !version | renato
[14:01] <silvering> Dr_Willis cant fsck
[14:02] <Younder> bazhang, it has to do with the default priveleges. By default the older ubuntu versin restricted sound.
[14:02] <bazhang> Younder, that is not correct
[14:03] <alberto> Younder Then... Shall I create a new user?
[14:03] <renato> is it becuase I haev an LTS version of the server that it tells me "there is no new version available" when I try to update?
[14:03] <bazhang> alberto, no need
[14:03] <blackbro> Hey!  I'm playing around with automounting of encrypted volumes on karmic.  Anyone any idea how to automaticly use a keyfile (instead of querying the user) if the keyfile for a volume is available?
[14:03] <jcrawford> ok so i installed galago but is there a way to alter the settings so that i can tell it to make the notifications transparent etc.?
[14:03] <Younder> bazhang, it is so. I had to correct it myself!
[14:03] <jcrawford> i can't seem to find it in my applications/system menus
[14:03] <renato> ubott: thanks
[14:03] <alberto> bazhang What should I do?
[14:04] <Younder> alberto, no
[14:04] <tzanger> good morning; I'm trying to get Kubuntu 9.10 to print to pdf; the option is there, but I cannot change the page size from A4 (it is grayed out) -- why is this?
[14:04] <dr4g> How can i view the existing GROUPS in my system.
[14:04] <dr4g> user groups
[14:05] <silvering> come on guys, Cant mount JFS ;(
[14:05] <skorasaurus> hi, i was looking to find out what new packages came out in karmic.
[14:05] <Younder> silvering, you are aware of mount? (man mount)
[14:05] <bazhang> alberto, open a terminal and type alsamixer and see that nothing is muted
[14:06] <silvering> yup
[14:06] <alberto> Ok
[14:06] <silvering> yesterday it was working just fine, today is says fuckin error
[14:06] <alberto> Nothing is muted
[14:06] <alberto> Card HDA NVIDIA
[14:06] <bazhang> alberto, you can switch between them with the arrows keys.
[14:06] <alberto> Chip Realtek ALC1200
[14:07] <alberto> Everything's ok
[14:07] <silvering> alright, going to format again..
[14:08] <Younder> bazhang, it works now
[14:08] <bazhang> alberto, what did you change
[14:08] <blackbro> What's the replacement for hotplug in karmic?
[14:08] <alberto> bazhang Nothing really
[14:08] <alberto> bazhang Master is turned up
[14:09] <alberto> bazhang As well as Center
[14:09] <alberto> And PCM
[14:09] <bazhang> alberto, if the sounds is turned to the max (ie PCM) it may have the effect of no sound; best to leave at around 80-85 for that
[14:09] <Younder> NVIDEA produces aome awsome graphics chips, they do however require custom drivers
[14:09] <alberto> bazhang Ok, I'll try
[14:10] <AMD> hello
[14:10] <olly>  i'm trying to compile a kernel with ubuntu 9.10... in the docs it says i have to change debian/rules.d/amd64.mk, i assume its debian.master/rules.d/amd64.mk. furthermore, i have to edit debian/control.stub and debian/control, but in debian.master, i only find a control.stub.in. what to do?
[14:10] <alberto> bazhang It doesn't work
[14:10] <AMD> hello
[14:10] <bazhang> alberto, what does not work
[14:10] <alberto> Setting the PCM volume between 80-85
[14:11] <alberto> Nothing sounds
[14:11] <ikonia> Younder: they dont - there are open source drivers that also have limitations
[14:11] <bazhang> alberto, so only at max it works?
[14:11] <alberto> bazhang No, there's no sound. No matter how I set the volumes.
[14:11] <Younder> ikonia, indeed which is why you want it straight from the horses nouth
[14:12] <Younder> mouth
[14:12] <ikonia> Younder: want what from the hourses mouth ?
[14:12] <alberto> bazhang Very strange, isn't it?
[14:12] <glphvgacs> how do i make a disk image of my startup volume while it's mounted?
[14:12] <Younder> ikonia, drivers'
[14:12] <alberto> bazhang Yesterday sound worked perfectly well.
[14:13] <dr4g> Anyone here used VSFTPD before ??
[14:13] <ikonia> Younder: you want to use the drivers from the ubuntu repos - that is the correct process
[14:13] <root> #channel gyan
[14:13] <ganimedeuk> blimey, it's busy in here... is this the right place to come for help?
[14:14] <ikonia> dr4g: sure
[14:14] <ikonia> ganimedeuk: sure is
[14:14] <unmannedleech> yep
[14:14] <dr4g> ikonia, can i PM you for a second ?
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> glphvgacs: dont make images of mounted volumes, the data may change mid image and may corrupt the image
[14:14] <ikonia> dr4g: easier to just ask in the channel unless it's personal
[14:14] <Younder> ikonia, no, the NVIDEA drivers you need are only available from heir web site
[14:14] <dr4g> ikonia, this is very busy in here, maybe we can go to #dr4g ?
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> Younder: i'm sure other servers have them some place
[14:14] <ikonia> Younder: and are not the right choice to use - pelase don't advise people to use them without explaiing the risks
[14:14] <bazhang> Younder, that is simply incorrect
[14:14] <ganimedeuk> oh good. I was clearing up my system following instructions on a post in the Ubuntu forum, there was a recommendation to empty out /tmp so I did and now Synaptic says my password is incorrect, and Epiphany gives a configuration error. So um, help!
[14:14] <Younder> ikonia, don't be naive
[14:14] <ikonia> dr4g: not that busy - just make sure you hilight my name
[14:14] <sohail> Hi guys I'm running off of a disc right now. I installed Kubuntu yesterday and was recommended to use Ubuntu instead because performance reason. I'm trying to install it now but for some reason it's trying to add ANOTHER partition instead of writing over Kubuntu. What do yall think?
[14:14] <ikonia> Younder: don't give wrong advice
[14:15] <Younder> ikonia, I could say the same to you
[14:15] <ikonia> Younder: it is valid to use the drivers from nvidia.com as long as you understand and make clear the risks to the user you are suggesting it to
[14:15] <ikonia> Younder: just make sure you explain the risks to the user
[14:15] <Younder> I wil
[14:16] <sohail> ...
[14:16] <ikonia> no problem
[14:16] <alberto> bazhang Any ideas?
[14:16] <Lewis> ActionParsnip: what do i do with the .inf and the .sys files?
[14:16] <ikonia> sohail: you need to use advanced options to tell it to use the same partitions
[14:16] <ikonia> sohail: a better option would be to install the package "ubuntu-desktop" on your kubuntu install
[14:16] <ikonia> sohail: that is the same as using ubuntu rather than kubuntu
[14:17] <bazhang> alberto, are you using wine? playing youtube while also using and mp3 player?
[14:17] <glphvgacs> ActionParsnip: but do u know of any tools for craeting that images?
[14:17] <alberto> bazhang No, I've just opened XChat
[14:18] <sohail> how do I install the ubuntu desktop? and will it really be the same thing? I don't want to have performance issues later because I did some kind of work around
[14:18] <ikonia> sohail: it's exactly the same thing, the only difference is the desktop between kubuntu and ubuntu
[14:18] <dr4g> pasv_min_port=30000
[14:18] <dr4g> pasv_max_port=33333
[14:18] <dr4g> oops :(
[14:18] <ikonia> sohail: boot your kubuntu install from disk, open the package manager, search for ubuntu-desktop then install that package
[14:18] <sohail> okay, so how do I install gnome?
[14:18] <sohail> er, uninstall the KDE?
[14:19] <ikonia> sohail: (when I say from disk, I mean your hard disk)
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> glphvgacs: could use partimage
[14:19] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting alberto please look at this
[14:19] <ikonia> sohail: not yet - just install gnome, you can remove kde once you are happy with gnome
[14:19] <alberto> bazhang Thanks very much
[14:19] <sohail> okay I'll try that now thanks
[14:19] <dr4g> ikonia, i've setup vsftpd. Its logging in against the linux users, which is OK. when i login from localhost using 'ftp' command it is fine, but when  i'm outside of localhost, it connects and authenticates but then times out when it tries to perform a directory Listing.
[14:19] <amerinese> I have a standard Ubuntu Desktop setup... Is there any program that can help be quickly pull up an already window?  I get lost with too many windows open and I'd like to search through my windows using their title... an interface similar to Google Suggest... anything like that?
[14:19] <ganimedeuk> is anyone able to help with my Synaptic issue?
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> glphvgacs: or dd
[14:19] <amerinese> *already open window, sorry
[14:19] <ikonia> dr4g: set the mode to "passive" with "pas" command
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> amerinese: alt+tab
[14:20] <ikonia> amerinese: alt+tab like windows
[14:20] <amerinese> ActionParsnip: that can be set to accept text search?
[14:20] <ikonia> amerinese: no
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> amerinese: no, it will just cycle the windows to the front
[14:20] <dr4g> ikonia, can you elabroate? is this a linux command? or a vsftpd command ? is it a vsftpd config setting ?
[14:20] <Younder> ikonia, and alt arrow. I have a 4 winow setup
[14:21] <ikonia> Younder: that won't allow text search
[14:21] <Younder> ikonia,beautiful thing really
[14:21] <amerinese> I'm looking for [pull up small window] -> [type one or two letters and select matching windows (hopefully only 1 or maybe 2 windows match)]
[14:21] <Younder> ikonia, no
[14:21] <ikonia> dr4g: the problem is with your ftp client (from a high level diagnostic view) when you login type "pass" to set your client to passive mode
[14:21] <essial> Does anyone know of a command that will make files created under a directory maintain the directorie's group owner?
[14:21] <ikonia> amerinese: I don't think that application exists
[14:22] <skorasaurus> ganimedeuk, could post the link to forum post that you followed.
[14:22] <essial> I have a share that several users write to, but I want the group of the file to be the share group, not the user, and the group be r/w
[14:22] <ikonia> Younder: that's why I've not suggested it to him
[14:22] <tapple> essial: no, but I've made a script that fixes that
[14:22] <alberto> bazhang Terminal says there's no sound group!
[14:22] <amerinese> ikonia: ok, thanks
[14:22] <alberto> When I type sudo adduser alberto sound
[14:22] <MrPiracy> amerinese: there's no such thing (that i know of) but you could try to add "window list" or "window selector" to the panel ... it works just like windows
[14:22] <essial> I mean I can chgrp/chmod every time something breaks but that's annoying
[14:22] <boscop> hi. suddenly my laptop disconnected from my wireless network and now he does not reconnect anymore. it's an atheros card, the network manager says "disconnected" and doesn't show the aailable networks. why?
[14:23] <ikonia> essial: look at sticky bits and setgid
[14:23] <Younder> ikonia, sorry, I am a bit out of it
[14:23] <ikonia> Younder: easy to lose track
[14:23] <essial> looking
[14:23] <glphvgacs> ActionParsnip: dd say resour is Busy, when the volume's mounted
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> boscop: try: sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop; sleep 5; /etc/init.d/hal restart; sleep 5;  /etc/init.d/networking start
[14:23] <glphvgacs> ActionParsnip: is there any dd-switch that can overcome that?
[14:23] <boscop> iwlist scan says "no scan results" :((
[14:24] <dr4g> ikonia, i've set my FTP client to use passive mode but still nothing.
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> boscop: you may have to rmmod the driver for the device, then modprobe it back in
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> glphvgacs: boot to live cd
[14:24] <alberto> bazhang How could that happened?
[14:24] <essial> It sounds like sticky bit only allows the creating user to mod the file
[14:24] <ikonia> dr4g: does it just "hang" when you type "ls" ?
[14:24] <alberto> bazhang I didn't erase the sound group
[14:24] <essial> the idea is for the file created to be in the same group as the folder, and with r/w so all users can mod it
[14:24] <ikonia> essial: check setgid
[14:24] <dr4g> ikonia, on localhost, it's 100% fine.. outside of localhost, it times out.
[14:24] <dr4g> ikonia, it might be a routing issue.
[14:25] <ikonia> dr4g: ok - that suggests to me it's the reverse path out of your box, quite common when home users try to do port forwarding on their routers at home
[14:25] <Younder> ActionParsnip, seems inefficient
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> Younder: what does?
[14:25] <Younder> ActionParsnip, It could be done in paralell
[14:26] <boscop> ActionParsnip: how do I do that? (the first method didn't work)
[14:26] <dr4g> ikonia, what do you suggest.
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> Younder: i find it risky due to processes accessing the disk
[14:26] <_HaCKeR_> hey fuck you
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> Younder: can you advise boscop
[14:26] <ikonia> dr4g: are you trying to do port forwarding ?
[14:26] <boscop> ActionParsnip: my driver is ath9 I think
[14:26] <Younder> ActionParsnip, lock the files!
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> Younder: sorry, crossed wires
[14:26] <amerinese> MrPiracy: Hmm, yeah, towards what I'm looking for, not there, but maybe I could modify it
[14:27] <dr4g> ikonia, i would LIKE to, it seems port 21 is not allowed to be used outside of localhost
[14:27] <many> woot
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> boscop: sudo rmmod ath9k; sleep 5; sudo modprobe ath9k; sleep 5; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[14:27] <many> does Ubuntu 9.1 install backup the current mbr BEFORE installing grub
[14:27] <ikonia> dr4g: check your router - I'd suggest it's how you've got port forwarding setup
[14:27] <ikonia> dr4g: don't forget you need port 20 and 21
[14:27] <IpSe_DiXiT> hi, i have to format an external hd of 1tb, is it better to format it to ext3 or to keep it in ntfs, considering that i mostly use it on linux but sometimes i might be use it to transfer data on a windows machine. and what about other filesystems? xfs, reiserfs, etc etc? thanks
[14:27] <sohail_> hi back again, I was told to install gnome - desktop from the package manager but I can't find it, or I've found a lot of things that might be it, what is the name of the download exactly?
[14:27] <jimmy_> how i can change the wallpaper?
[14:28] <dr4g> ikonia, hmm ok man
[14:28] <jonsol__> sohail_: gnome-desktop
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> jimmy_: right click desktop -> desktop preferences
[14:28] <boscop> ActionParsnip: oh it seems to work. thanks
[14:28] <ikonia> jimmy_: right click on your desktop and use "change desktop background"
[14:28] <bazhang> jimmy_, right click change background
[14:28] <blackbro> ivman just segfaults...  I don't believe it!
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> boscop: np man, i'd put that in a script. makes life easier
[14:28] <jimmy_> my icons disappeared now
[14:28] <jimmy_> only wallpaper
[14:28] <jimmy_> remained
[14:28] <ikonia> sohail_: the package name is ubuntu-desktop as I told you
[14:28] <Younder> jimmy, yes. Right cligh on the desktop
[14:28] <boscop> ActionParsnip: yeah, I will do that
[14:28] <ikonia> sohail_: that is the only package you need
[14:29] <jimmy_> it gave me an error
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> jimmy_: press alt+f2 and run nautilus
[14:29] <jimmy_> nautilus crashed
[14:29] <syk> how do i update gnome from 2.28.1 to 2.29.1
[14:29] <jimmy_> =/
[14:29] <blackbro> Is there any alternatives for ivman in karmic?
[14:29] <jimmy_> run nautilus?
[14:29] <blackbro> Please people talk to me ;-)
[14:29] <jimmy_> wats nautilus
[14:29] <sohail_> alright thanks
[14:29] <FloodBot1> jimmy_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:29] <jonsol__> jimmy_: just restart it then
[14:29] <ikonia> syk: if there is no package available in the repos - don't do it
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> syk: find a repo with the newer version on
[14:29] <jimmy_> what to restart?
[14:29] <Dr_Willis> !infi ivman
[14:29] <Dr_Willis> !info ivman
[14:29] <jonsol__> jumbers: what do you think?
[14:29] <syk> ok
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> jimmy_: its the file browser but it also draws the icons on the desktop
[14:29] <many> does Ubuntu 9.1 install backup the current mbr BEFORE installing grub
[14:29] <many> 9.10
[14:29] <jimmy_> how it draws dat?
[14:29] <blackbro> I'm running out of ideas :-(
[14:29] <Younder> jimmy: sudio apt-get  install nautilus
[14:30] <Younder> sodo
[14:30] <jimmy_> :O that program shows icons on my own computer!
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> jimmy_: i dont know, it just does it. its one of its responsibilities, you need to rerun it
[14:30] <xharx> since the updates yesterday the suspend mode unter karmic is no more working. someone with the same problem?
[14:30] <Younder> so double click it
[14:30] <jimmy_> doesnt work
[14:30] <jonsol__> jimmy_: why should jimmy install nautilus when it has obviously crashed?
[14:30] <jimmy_> my right mouse button stuck
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> jimmy_: can you run gnome-terminal  using the same alt+f2 method?
[14:31] <jimmy_> i dont have f2
[14:31] <Younder> jimmy: get a new mouse..
[14:31] <jimmy_> no
[14:31] <jimmy_> i dont have mony
[14:31] <jimmy_> i turkish
[14:31] <bening> get a new keyboard
[14:31] <jimmy_> keyboard?
[14:31] <jimmy_> what is that
[14:31] <FloodBot1> jimmy_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:31] <moron> jimmy_: then please continue to rant about it here.
[14:32] <jimmy_> hahahaha
[14:32] <moron> jimmy_: by all means
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> jimmy_: your keyboard has an F2 key on it, and an ALT key, press them together
[14:32] <IpSe_DiXiT> hi, i have to format an external hd of 1tb, is it better to format it to ext3 or to keep it in ntfs, considering that i mostly use it on linux but sometimes i might be use it to transfer data on a windows machine. and what about other filesystems? xfs, reiserfs, etc etc? thanks
[14:32] <jimmy_> guys that was a joke
[14:32] <bening> jimmy: how do you type?
[14:32] <moron> IpSe_DiXiT: we heard you the first time
[14:32] <jimmy_> it was just a prank
[14:32] <jimmy_> from encyclopedia dramatica
[14:32] <IpSe_DiXiT> moron: just in case
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> jimmy_: welcome to ignore, dont waste my time
[14:32] <Younder> IpSe_DiXiT, keep it
[14:32] <jimmy_> Respect for Linux for niggers
[14:32] <moron> jimmy_: aren't jokes supposed to be funny?
[14:32] <DJones> !ot
[14:32] <One_Chance> hye , where is xorg file under ubuntu 9.10 i can't found it into /etc/X11
[14:32] <Younder> IpSe_DiXiT, or get ready for a world of pain
[14:33] <blackbro> Anyone _any_ ideas on the approach of hooking a script before mounting a disk device on karmic?  [Or telling to use a keyfile for encrypted LUKS volumes instead of querying for a passphrase?]
[14:33] <IpSe_DiXiT> Younder: what u mean a world of pain? o_O
[14:33] <genii> One_Chance: Doesn't exist/get made by default any more
[14:33] <moron> One_Chance: the xorg.conf is deprecated.
[14:33] <jrib> One_Chance: xorg doesn't need one any more.  You can still create it though and it will be used
[14:33] <jimmy_> funny thing was that you all freaked out
[14:33] <Younder> IpSe_DiXiT, compatabillity prblems galore.
[14:33] <IpSe_DiXiT> Younder: i found this http://www.fs-driver.org/ which is a driver that allows windows to read ext partitons, but what u mean anyway?
[14:33] <bening> i'm not
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> One_Chance: if one exists it will be read
[14:33] <moron> jumbers: morons make that with people
[14:33] <sohail_> okay I downloaded and installed ubuntu-desktop... I can't see it anywhere or find it in the search bar but I assume it installed, now what?
[14:33] <IpSe_DiXiT> Younder: compatibility with what? could u plz be more specific
[14:33] <moron> jimmy_: i.e. you.
[14:33] <duffydack> Here`s one for you.  I`m fine with ssh and X forwarding but I was setting up some compiz effects for a friend (he knows nothing and it would take too long to explain and since I setup his pc in the first palce I installed ssh knowing I`d be on call lol) so I ran ccsm and it displayed fine and I set some plugins up and told him to test it his side, didnt work.  Seems the ccms I was modifying was not using/saving HIS settings yet I was l
[14:33] <duffydack> ogged in as him.. anyone know a reason?
[14:34] <Deriativewerks> I'm not getting any sound in 9.10. Please help me.
[14:34] <jimmy_> moron,look at your nick :D
[14:34] <Younder> IpSe_DiXiT, that is a good one.
[14:34] <One_Chance> iwant to save my X config befor installing card graphic driver
[14:34] <jimmy_> Moron moron is moron
[14:34] <Younder> IpSe_DiXiT, It works with me anyhow.
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> duffydack: did you ssh as HIS username or your own?
[14:34] <moron> jimmy_: parse error, please try again
[14:34] <duffydack> I have tested it locally too, and the same thing happens.
[14:34] <Deriativewerks> Please someone help me
[14:34] <duffydack> ActionParsnip, his login...
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> One_Chance: copy it to your home then
[14:34] <bening> ask who?
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> duffydack: ok thats good
[14:35] <moron> Deriativewerks: sure thing. JFGI.
[14:35] <bening> canonical knows
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> duffydack: try an X restart
[14:35] <duffydack> ActionParsnip, Im fine with ssh :)
[14:35] <jimmy_> mac stole ideeas from linux
[14:35] <moron> Deriativewerks: there's lots of information on sound not working in 9.10 if you look for it.
[14:35] <jimmy_> lets trooool
[14:35] <IpSe_DiXiT> Younder: im not sure im quite getting u, could u specify the subject? "what" is a good one? what are u saying?
[14:35] <jrib> jimmy_: please stay on the topic of ubuntu support
[14:35] <One_Chance> ActionParsnip: but i don''t see the xorg.conf anywhere
[14:35] <many> does Ubuntu 9.10 install backup the current mbr BEFORE installing grub
[14:35] <bening> jimmy: really?
[14:35] <jimmy_> Xorg is cool
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> duffydack: just making sure you werent logging on as your own account and running ccsm as that would change your settings
[14:35] <duffydack> ActionParsnip, every other app I have run and setup like that has worked.. wondering why its not doing it for that...
[14:35] <jimmy_> Ubuntu is cool too
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> One_Chance: its /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:35] <jimmy_> Isnt ubuntu the topic?
[14:36] <jrib> jimmy_: ubuntu support is the topic
[14:36] <moron> ActionParsnip: which is not used anymore.
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> duffydack: try an x restart, alt+k+printscrn
[14:36] <jimmy_> oh
[14:36] <Younder> IpSe_DiXiT, the driver, now fuck off!
[14:36] <alberto> bazhang Problem solved, thank you very much. There were some volumes turned completely down.
[14:36] <bening> jimmy:  yeah
[14:36] <Deriativewerks> moron: I did but nothing works
[14:36] <moron> ActionParsnip: Like we said earlier.
[14:36] <jimmy_> Ubuntu topic is a cool guy.
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> moron: if one is there it will be read
[14:36] <duffydack> ActionParsnip,  yeah well that will have happend already, it was last night.. I`ll wait while he comes back online.
[14:36] <ganimedeuk> is anyone able to help me with a problem I have with Synaptic and Epiphany?
[14:36] <moron> ActionParsnip: no, you did not.
[14:36] <elky> Younder, please do not speak to people in that manner.
[14:36] <jrib> ganimedeuk: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[14:36] <Deriativewerks> Why do I have no sound?
[14:36] <moron> ActionParsnip: it's blindingly obvious.
[14:36] <bening> ganimedeuk: say it
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> moron: i have to use it as my monitor doesnt report refresh rates so my nvidia driver doesnt run. I have to tell the system my refresh rates or the nvidia driver does not load
[14:37] <One_Chance> ActionParsnip: can you tel me where i can found the X config file
[14:37] <IpSe_DiXiT> Younder: o_O excuse me????????
[14:37] <Younder> elky, I am pissed off!
[14:37] <jimmy_> lol
[14:37] <ganimedeuk> I was clearing up my system following instructions on a post in the forum, there was a recommendation to empty out /tmp so I did and now Synaptic says my password is incorrect, and Epiphany gives a configuration error
[14:37] <Dr_Willis> One_Chance:  backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:37] <sohail_> okay I downloaded and installed ubuntu-desktop... I can't see it anywhere or find it in the search bar but I assume it installed, now what?
[14:37] <elky> Younder, these people here are volunteers. They are under no obligation to sit through abuse from you.
[14:37] <moron> Dr_Willis: which will be empty. Like we said earlier.
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> One_Chance: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~
[14:37] <IpSe_DiXiT> Younder: i'm kindly asking for opinions and advices, why did u tell me to fuck off???? o_O
[14:37] <mbeierl> !language | Younder
[14:37] <moron> Dr_Willis: More helpful and completely useless tips for him?
[14:37] <nebiros`> how to change screen resolution with grub2?
[14:37] <Dr_Willis> moron:  then he dosent need a xorg.conf
[14:37] <Deriativewerks> I'm using the 64bit version. Please help.
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> moron: like I said, if its there, its read and will override hal if there are settings in there for stuff
[14:38] <Younder> elky, I am a volenteer too.
[14:38] <freaky[t]> hi all. y is there no /boot/grub/menu.lst in ubuntu 9.10?
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> !ask | Deriativewerks
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> freaky[t]:  its using Grub2 by default on a new install
[14:38] <moron> Deriativewerks: please do some basic work before whining for help.
[14:38] <IpSe_DiXiT> Younder: if i bothered u in somehow im sorry but it didnt seem like that to me AT ALL o_O
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | freaky[t]
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> freaky[t]: it uses grub2 which is a whole different animal
[14:38] <jimmy_> ALL LINUX USERS DIE VIRGIN
[14:38] <Younder> If you think you can do better please do..
[14:38] <moron> Deriativewerks: tip, "it does not work is not enough"
[14:38] <duffydack> ActionParsnip, I have just ssh`d to my own localhost and run ccsm.. things are setup differently to what I KNOW are set
[14:38] <One_Chance> but  xorg.conf is not in /etc./X11 directory after update
[14:38] <freaky[t]> ok thanks
[14:38] <Deriativewerks> ActionParsnip: Why do I have no sound in 9.10?
[14:38] <freaky[t]> but the but the package grub2 isn't installed?
[14:38] <moron> Deriativewerks: you're repeating yourself
[14:39] <VSpike> Is anyone else suffering awful slow DNS lookups in 9.10?
[14:39] <Dr_Willis> One_Chance:  there should be backups of it in that directory if any were made
[14:39] <Deriativewerks> moron: Yes because no one is helping me
[14:39] <Younder> Ive pårogrammed unix since 1986..
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> Deriativewerks: no idea duder, ive never had a serious sound issue in linux
[14:39] <VSpike> I was trying to google it but, you know, it's too slow :)
[14:39] <One_Chance> that is the problem
[14:39] <Younder> But I will try to behave.
[14:39] <moron> Deriativewerks: because you're repeating yourself without doing your homework
[14:39] <bazhang> Younder, stay on topic
[14:39] <sohail_> okay I downloaded and installed ubuntu-desktop... I can't see it anywhere or find it in the search bar but I assume it installed, now what?
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> Deriativewerks: run:   sudo lshw -C sound    you can then read the product line and websearch for guides
[14:39] <moron> Younder: sure you have.
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> sohail_: find what on the search bar?
[14:39] <Dr_Willis> sohail_:  ubuntu-desktop is a meta package to install 'everything' a normal ubuntu desktop install has. its not a specific program
[14:40] <Deriativewerks> ActionParsnip: But sound worked in 9.04
[14:40] <segin> sohail_: When you log back in, change your Session Type at gdm/kdm to GNOME.
[14:40] <bazhang> moron, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:40] <Deriativewerks> That is why I am confused
[14:40] <crazydip> how do i disable lock screen after resume from suspend?
[14:40] <moron> bazhang: please bite me
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> Deriativewerks: you could boot to jaunty live cd to see what driver is being used, then compare to karmic
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> Deriativewerks: you need to investigate some'
[14:41] <sohail_> okay, thanks segin that's sort of what I was looking for, except I don't know how to do that could you be more specific?
[14:41] <ganimedeuk> I was cleaning up my system, was recommended to empty out /tmp but now Synaptic says my password is incorrect, and Epiphany gives a configuration error
[14:41] <Deriativewerks> How do I get older mixer from 9.04?
[14:41] <Deriativewerks> This new one is not good
[14:41] <One_Chance> someone have founf  xorg.conf in /etc/X11 after update his ubuntu 9.10
[14:41] <Dr_Willis> sohail_:  at teh login screen theres a menu at the bottom.
[14:41] <slammer> Deriativewerks: it works perfectly
[14:41] <Deriativewerks> slammer: For you it may
[14:41] <Deriativewerks> But not for me
[14:41] <slammer> Deriativewerks: the problem is behind the keyboard
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> sohail_: you arent making any sense, can you please explain your issue
[14:42] <Deriativewerks> slammer: Huh?
[14:42] <slammer> Deriativewerks: _exactly_
[14:42] <sohail_> I don't have a login screen, I have GRUB and then it loads the desktop.
[14:42] <Timo_> Hi, I pressed 'Remember Currently Running Applications' that one time, and now every time it starts up, I get these programs, how can I erase that option?
[14:42] <Deriativewerks> slammer: You aren't making any sense.
[14:42] <slammer> Deriativewerks: thanks for proving my point
[14:42] <slammer> Deriativewerks: neither are you.
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> Timo_: go to the same place and untick
[14:42] <Younder> Timo_, You can't
[14:42] <Deriativewerks> slammer: How do I get the older mixer?
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> sohail_:  then you some set it to do that. Check your admin menus/icons for the login manager screen tool and tell it to not auto login
[14:43] <One_Chance> Dr_Willis: i don't have touch the xorg.conf befor but now i can found it
[14:43] <Pici> Sorry for the mode spam folks, we're just doing some cleaning.
[14:43] <Deriativewerks> slammer: How do I get older mixer from 9.04?
[14:43]  * ActionParsnip lifts his feet
[14:43] <Younder> ActionParsnip, tried that and it didn't work
[14:43] <Younder> perhaps others have better experiences
[14:44] <mbeierl> Younder: are you still wondering about your 1tb drive and what filesystem to use or did you get an answer yet?
[14:44] <ganimedeuk> I was cleaning up my system, was recommended to empty out /tmp but now Synaptic says my password is incorrect, and Epiphany gives a configuration error, please help
[14:44] <sohail_> yeah, I installed kubuntu and had to get gnome desktop for performance issues, so I downloaded the package but I don't gnome how to use it. I was just Dr_Willis just told me to turn on my login screen so that I can select it. Is there a way to make it automatic? I don't like the login screen
[14:44] <Timo_> ActionParsnip, I didn't tick it, I just pressed the butotn under it
[14:44] <Timo_> Younder, mm k cool :o
[14:44] <Younder> mbeierl, I have no such syetem at hand
[14:44] <darren> My system logs are becoming to large (over 1GB) in a  few days because of this error: lgdt330x: i2c_read_demod_bytes: addr 0x0e select 0x6e error (ret == -19), Can anyone help me with it?  I have karmic64 installed.
[14:44] <mbeierl> Younder: sorry - wrong person
[14:45] <Younder> mbeierl, so i can merrly guess
[14:45] <mbeierl> IpSe_DiXiT: are you still wondering about your 1tb drive and what filesystem to use or did you get an answer yet?
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> Timo_: i saw a guide a while back to delete a folder storing the stored apps but i cant find it
[14:45] <muchi> hi
[14:45] <Dr_Willis> sohail_:  if youi are using KDM check the kdm config tools. if you are going to use GDM its in the gdm confiog tools.. Log out and it should take you to the login screen
[14:45] <Deriativewerks> Why do I have no sound in 9.10?
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> Deriativewerks: did you run the command I told and wesearched a bit
[14:45] <Deriativewerks> ActionParsnip: Yes
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> Deriativewerks: is it muted?
[14:45] <Deriativewerks> No
[14:46] <sohail_> awesome, thanks. Where do I find those config tools?
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> Deriativewerks: whats the product line say for the card?
[14:46] <Timo_> ActionParsnip, aha, well it is fine for me, only thing bothering me is that my Theme isn't loading up properly..
[14:46] <Younder> mbeierl, I don't think you will ge a answer here. Nobody HAS a 1Tb drive...
[14:46] <Dr_Willis> sohail_:  exlore your menus
[14:46] <sohail_> word, thanks for all the help
[14:46] <IpSe_DiXiT> mbeierl: premuch yes but i was afraid to get another f**k off as a reply :D
[14:46] <bazhang> Younder, I do

[14:46] <Deriativewerks> ActionParsnip: ICE1712
[14:46] <mbeierl> Younder: that was the other nick's original question, so I was hoping to answer him, thanks...
[14:46] <Deriativewerks> ICE1712 [Envy24] PCI Multi-Channel I/O Controller
[14:46] <Deriativewerks> there
[14:47] <mezquitale> Deriativewerks, turn the volume up, choose the correct soundcard in "sound" applet under "preferences"
[14:47] <Dr_Willis> nebiros`:  edit the grub 2 config files
[14:47] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | nebiros`
[14:47] <Younder> bazhang, then you help him..
[14:47] <Deriativewerks> mezquitale: I have already done so
[14:47] <jrib> IpSe_DiXiT: if it's a "data" drive and you use windows a lot you are probably better off with ntfs
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> nebiros`: you cange it in the grub config files, you must run: sudo update-grub to apply any changes
[14:47] <crazydip> how do you disable lock screen after suspend in 9.10?
[14:47] <nebiros`> Dr_Willis: /etc/defaults/grub ?
[14:47] <Guest_329> hey people
[14:47] <mbeierl> IpSe_DiXiT: the problem is that if you use NTFS, linux does not do proper ACL support quite yet, and EXT support for Windows is not soo good either
[14:47] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | nebiros`
[14:47] <mezquitale> Deriativewerks, is it a desktop or laptop?  are you trying to hear sound from speakers or headphones?
[14:48] <IpSe_DiXiT> mbeierl: what is ACL?
[14:48] <pune> i have a question about a botched ubuntu installation
[14:48] <Deriativewerks> mezquitale: Desktop and speakers
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> Deriativewerks: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/178442
[14:48] <mbeierl> IpSe_DiXiT: sorry - "Access Control List" - it's advanced security attributes for NTFS and such
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> Deriativewerks: you may have to switch to ALSA or OSS
[14:48] <mbeierl> IpSe_DiXiT: brb
[14:48] <Deriativewerks> ActionParsnip: How do I switch to ALSA?
[14:48] <eddym> hey guys what is the best bang for the buck webcam for ubuntu?
[14:48] <Deriativewerks> I want ALSA
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> Deriativewerks: in sound prefs I think
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> !sound
[14:49] <elexodus> I keep receiving this error message when I try to update: http://pastebin.ca/1668250
[14:49] <lnb> whats changed with screen saver that it makes computer unresponsive to keyboard or mouse movements?
[14:49] <eddym> dr_willis:hey what up dr
[14:50] <Deriativewerks> Double clicking the volume control does not work
[14:50] <pune> i ran the windows installer and it did its thing on my pc but when i restart to finish up the installation, i get nothing but errors.  is it ok to just boot the ubuntu cd and overwrite teh botched installation?
[14:50] <mezquitale> Deriativewerks, make sure the speakers are connected to the desktop, turned on, volume up and post the results of this:  " cat /proc/asound/cards"
[14:50] <Younder> I am listening to ramstein at the moment so I appologize for not being particculary sensive.
[14:50] <elexodus> pune: Yes, that will be fine
[14:50] <BluesKaj> howdy folks
[14:50] <pune> and will that leave the broken installation still in grub?
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> Deriativewerks: then websearch how is all i can suggest, unless someone can advise
[14:51] <elexodus> Younder: How did you like that last album that just came out?
[14:51] <Deriativewerks> mezquitale: http://pastebin.org/53033
[14:51] <Younder> elecxodus: meerly utube
[14:51] <elexodus> pune, it should clean the broken install out. In case it doesn't, you will need to edit the Grub menu.
[14:51] <ktzkk> [SeungFu] what did you mean ? is your bootloader broken down?
[14:52] <IpSe_DiXiT> mbeierl: anyway i think i got it: i'll format it to EXT2 since i mostly use it on linux, no ext3 needed since its just a data drive and what should i need journaling for on a data drive? :D plus i'll get rid of the 5% superblocks (which should be about 60GB) no needed on a non-system partition. correct me if im wrong
[14:52] <elexodus> Younder: I could rapidshare it with you.
[14:52] <pune> ok.  well let me go run this cd and see what happens
[14:52] <pune> thanks
[14:52] <elexodus> pune: good luck.
[14:52] <Younder> elecxodua: don't
[14:52] <elexodus> Younder: no problem
[14:53] <mezquitale> Deriativewerks, the speakrers in your desktop, are they hooked up to the usb or MAudio sound card?
[14:53] <elexodus> I keep receiving this error message when I try to update: http://pastebin.ca/1668250
[14:53] <Deriativewerks> mezquitale: sound card
[14:53] <Timo_> Hi, I pressed 'Remember Currently Running Applications' that one time, and now every time it starts up, I get these programs, how can I erase that option?
[14:53] <mezquitale> Deriativewerks, what is the first line of this: "cat /proc/asound/modules"
[14:54] <Deriativewerks> mezquitale:  0 snd_ice1712
[14:54] <CosmicB> Timo_: quit all the programs you don't want to autostart, and press that button again :)
[14:54] <elexodus> Timo_, go to System > Preferences > Startup Applications
[14:55] <mezquitale> Deriativewerks, what does the second line say?  The 3rd line that starts with #2 says "alsa", right?  youre using karmic?
[14:55] <Deriativewerks> mezquitrale: the second line is  0 snd_ice1712
[14:55] <Deriativewerks> mezquitale: And that's it
[14:56] <Deriativewerks> mezquitale:yes I'm on karmic
[14:56] <Timo_> CosmicB, elexodus, It's actually running fine, but my theme isn't coming up properly, and that is pretty much bothering me...
[14:56] <elexodus> Timo_ are you running emerald or a program like it?
[14:56] <Timo_> elexodus, nope.
[14:57] <elexodus> What is your theme manager
[14:57] <elexodus> ?
[14:57] <elexodus> I keep receiving this error message when I try to update: http://pastebin.ca/1668250
[14:57] <mezquitale> Deriativewerks, type this and let me know if you hear anything:  "speaker-test -c2 -D default -t wav"
[14:57] <Deriativewerks> mezquitale: I hear nothing.
[14:58] <TheKro_> what is the recommended app for bluetooth dialup (GPRS) in kubuntu?
[14:58] <mezquitale> Deriativewerks, go to a console and type "alsamixer"  raise the volume  in "Master"  and try raising the volume on headphones and "front"
[14:59] <Deriativewerks> mezquitale: there are no master or headphone or front channels
[15:00] <darthanubis> Deriativewerks, why not?
[15:00] <Deriativewerks> darthanubis: I do not know
[15:01] <VENI> Hello
[15:01] <Dmole> how would one Report a bug on launchpad these days? (Report a bug link just links to documentation)
[15:01] <VENI> Can  comebody help me??
[15:01] <darthanubis> Deriativewerks, install gnome-alsamixer
[15:02] <Deriativewerks> ok
[15:02] <Dmole> VENI: what up?
[15:02] <bazhang> VENI, what is your question
[15:02] <darthanubis> !ask | VENI
[15:02] <VENI> it's about Freenode commands
[15:02] <bazhang> !bugs | Dmole
[15:02] <bazhang> VENI, which irc client
[15:02] <darthanubis> !irc | VENI
[15:02] <VENI> if somebody know one web where i can see all commands
[15:02] <Deriativewerks> darthanubis: I installed it
[15:03] <darthanubis> Deriativewerks, use it
[15:03] <ganimedeuk> I was cleaning up my system, was recommended to empty out /tmp but now Synaptic says my password is incorrect, and Epiphany gives a configuration error, please help.
[15:03] <bazhang> VENI, which irc client are you using
[15:03] <Beelsebob> Hi, I’m having some problems with wifi… It was working fine, but it dropped off the network and won’t reconnect.  A reboot of both comp/router did nothing.  dmesg says “Kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work”
[15:03] <Beelsebob> any idea what I’ve pressed?
[15:03] <VENI> Freenode i thins
[15:03] <VENI> k
[15:03] <Samus_Aran> anyone know why apt-get install mplayer-nogui produces a large number of unmeetable dependencies ?  "Depends: libasound2 (> 1.0.18) but 1.0.17a-0ubuntu4 is to be installed" and six others
[15:04] <Dmole> bazhang: that would be good if ubuntu would install, thus my question how to do it from launchpad
[15:04] <IdleOne> VENI: what program are you using now to talk on freenode?
[15:04] <Samus_Aran> just did an apt-get update; apt-get upgrade, so it's not that
[15:04] <bazhang> VENI, pidgin? xchat? or something other
[15:04] <VENI> chrome
[15:04] <Deriativewerks> darthanubis: I turned everything up to max and I still get no sound
[15:04] <darthanubis> Deriativewerks, did you ever have sound?
[15:04] <bazhang> Dmole, installation issue? perhaps we can troubleshoot here
[15:04] <bobby_> first time running ubuntu , what is the easiest way to learn terminal prompts ?
[15:04] <Deriativewerks> darthanubis: no
[15:04] <jrib> !terminal | bobby_
[15:05] <bazhang> !rute | bobby_
[15:05] <xubing_> hi
[15:05] <VENI> I'm  using Google Chrome
[15:05] <darthanubis> Deriativewerks, and you've turned all your levels up?
[15:05] <Deriativewerks> darthanubis: It won't let me change slider style or slider toggle style for some reason
[15:05] <bobby_> TY
[15:05] <Samus_Aran> bobby_: the easiest way is to have a goal and then figure out how to achieve it.  learning from real-world stuff always works better than simply reading guides
[15:05] <Deriativewerks> darthanubis: yes
[15:05] <bazhang> VENI, chrome is a browser; are you using something via chrome?
[15:05] <Dmole> bazhang: wess well it hangs at 96% (server 386) while detecting nics
[15:05] <mezquitale> Deriativewerks, you need to configure the drivers and the device so that it works with ALSA, it  looks like the sound card is not even configured, I cant make out what drivers youre using, the hardware is detected but the modules driving it dont seem correct, I suggest you go to #alsa and ask for help there
[15:06] <IdleOne> bazhang: probably the web chat
[15:06] <DJones> bazhang: Sounds like veni means the freenode webchat
[15:06] <bazhang> Dmole, hangs how long? is this karmic?
[15:06] <Deriativewerks> ok
[15:06] <silvering> guys, got karmic koala, audacious and no sound ?
[15:06] <darthanubis> Deriativewerks, the sound icon on the upper taskbar is not lowered or muted?
[15:06] <Dmole> bazhang: over night  9.10
[15:06] <jrib> silvering: make sure it's using pulseaudio in preferences
[15:06] <bazhang> IdleOne, ok thanks
[15:06] <Deriativewerks> darthanubis: no
[15:06] <silvering> It is
[15:06] <Samus_Aran> bazhang: CTCP VERSION reply from VENI: PJIRC 2.1.1  << I think that means the Java based client from the FreeNode web page
[15:06] <mezquitale> silvering, what is the output of "cat /proc/asound/cards"?
[15:06] <silvering> jrib it is, but still no audio
[15:06] <VENI> I'm online connected to freenode
[15:07] <darthanubis> Deriativewerks, what kind of soundcard?
[15:07] <hoarycripple> Why is it that I can't open a gtk app from within a GNU screen session?  I get the error 'Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0'
[15:07] <jrib> silvering: do you have audio elsewhere?
[15:07] <bazhang> VENI, I'm not sure about that client, let me check around
[15:07] <renato> if I have an ubuntu server I am using as a dns server and in that system /etc/hosts file I define a static <IP_ADDRESS> mywebsite.com why doesn't that static definition take the precedence against bind?
[15:07] <Deriativewerks> darthanubis: ICE1712
[15:07] <bazhang> Samus_Aran, thanks
[15:07] <mezquitale> darthanubis, http://pastebin.org/53033

[15:07] <VENI> thanks IdleOne
[15:07] <Samus_Aran> hoarycripple: it means you don't have access to the Xorg server.  is your X server on display :0 ?
[15:07] <silvering> ohh, sorry
[15:08] <Samus_Aran> hoarycripple: are you trying to run an app as the same user as X ?
[15:08] <Dmole> bazhang: it also flashes the caps and scrool lock; is that a kernel panic ?
[15:08] <VENI> Well i'm doing a chatroom and i dont know the commands
[15:08] <VENI> thanks
[15:08] <IdleOne> VENI: I recommend you install xchat for a Graphical client or irssi for a text based client. Both available via Synaptic Package manager
[15:08] <web5|org|ua> WHICH way to secure connect to other computer with full access to file system ?
[15:08] <TheKro> Dmole: those 2 flashing is usually a kernel panic, yeah
[15:08] <jcrawford> woa IdleOne that's my nick lol
[15:08] <mezquitale> silvering, post the first line from this "cat /proc/asound/modules"
[15:08] <ibuclaw> web5|org|ua, ssh
[15:08] <jcrawford> You are now identified for Idle0ne.
[15:08] <Samus_Aran> web5|org|ua: VPN usually
[15:09] <silvering> mezquitale http://paste.ubuntu.com/316995/
[15:09] <jcrawford> :)
[15:09] <IdleOne> jcrawford: ?
[15:09] <Dmole> TheKro: how do I debug this? / and file a bug ?
[15:09] <VENI> http://freenode.net are here the commands???
[15:09] <hoarycripple> Samus_Aran, I am trying to run the X app as the user I am logged in as.
[15:09] <idle0ne> used this nickname for about 5 years now lol
[15:09] <ibuclaw> !ssh | web5|org|ua
[15:09] <TheKro> Dmole: last time I took a photo, and attached it to a bugreport.  Not that anyone followed up on it.  Would probably help if you could reproduce it...
[15:09] <Samus_Aran> hoarycripple: does xfontsel load ?
[15:09] <idle0ne> linked jcrawford to it so i use it less and less :)
[15:09] <hoarycripple> Samus_Aran, I can run the app just fine from the command line if I am not within a screen session
[15:10] <hoarycripple> Samus_Aran, xfontsel within screen states "No protocol specified"
[15:10] <Dmole> TheKro: not a problem but how to file a report?
[15:10] <IdleOne> jcrawford: I have been using this nick for almost 8 years. 3+ here on freenode
[15:10] <hoarycripple> Samus_Aran, but if i drop out of screen it loads fine
[15:10] <VENI> http://freenode.net are here the commands???
[15:10] <silvering> mezquitale 0 [V8235          ]: VIA8233 - VIA 8235
[15:10] <jcrawford> IdleOne, nice :)
[15:10] <ibuclaw> VENI, IRC commands|
[15:10] <ibuclaw> ?
[15:11] <grawity> VENI: http://www.new2chat.com/ircmds.html
[15:11] <sohail_> alright, I've been lookin but I can't find the GDM or KDM configuration tools
[15:11] <ibuclaw> VENI type in: /help
[15:11] <mezquitale> silvering, do you have a laptop or a desktop?
[15:11] <silvering> desktop
[15:11] <jcrawford> not trying to impersonate anyone so people calm down haha
[15:11] <TheKro> Dmole: bugs.launchpad.net - do a search for some of the stuff in the kernel panic output in case it's a duplicate of an existing bug
[15:12] <Samus_Aran> hoarycripple: was the screen session started before or after the X session you're currently in ?
[15:12] <IdleOne> jcrawford: no worries here
[15:12] <Dmole> TheKro: did that and nothing
[15:12] <hoarycripple> Samus_Aran, screen was started after I logged into X
[15:12] <mezquitale> silvering, it looks like the hardware is being detected, drivers are installed and configured, can you plug in headphones and see if youre able to hear anything?
[15:12] <VENI> sorry i don't find it
[15:12] <jcrawford> IdleOne, glad to hear you are a long time helper here though i may need you sometime haha
[15:12] <VENI> :(
[15:12]  * jcrawford just started with Ubuntu
[15:13] <ibuclaw> VENI, what do you want to do in IRC?
[15:13] <VENI> i have a channel
[15:13] <silvering> mezquitale let me try with rhythmbox
[15:13] <VENI> and i want to know the commands
[15:13] <VENI> to moderate
[15:13] <Samus_Aran> hoarycripple: if you do "xhost +" from a terminal out of screen, then run xfontsel from within screen, what happens ?
[15:13] <ibuclaw> VENI, what's the channel name?
[15:13] <bazhang> VENI, please join #freenode for that
[15:13] <IdleOne> VENI: type /join #freenode they can point you in the right direction
[15:13] <jcrawford> hey in the gnome-xchat is there a way to make the user list remain on the right side of the chat window?
[15:14] <darthanubis> VENI, why don't you google the IRC commands like everyone else. This channel is for Ubuntu support, not IRC help?
[15:14] <hoarycripple> Samus_Aran, ok, disabling access control fixes the issue
[15:14] <IdleOne> darthanubis: RTFM is not a good answer. he probably did and came up empty
[15:14] <krunity> test

[15:14] <bazhang> darthanubis, please dont recommend that here
[15:14] <darthanubis> IdleOne, I did not say that.
[15:14] <speedo> hello, does any one of you had instalogion on iscsi target with broadcom card?
[15:14] <VENI> :( sorry i think you can help me
[15:14] <darthanubis> bazhang, don't reccomend he stay on topic?
[15:14] <IdleOne> darthanubis: same thing.
[15:14] <Samus_Aran> hoarycripple: Ubuntu's X security is a mystery to me, it often seems to randomly screw up and ban legitimate access.  :/
[15:15] <bazhang> VENI, yes, in #freenode
[15:15] <darthanubis> IdleOne, not at all
[15:15] <Dmole> bazhang: the file a bug links go in a circle so I can't file one!
[15:15] <luomqiang> ?

[15:15] <darthanubis> bazhang, I had
[15:15] <luomqiang> 会  中  文  吗？
[15:15] <IdleOne> darthanubis: pointing me to factoids I obviously already know is offtopic

[15:15] <Chousuke> !zh | luomqiang
[15:16] <jcrawford> woa xchat supports unicode i see :0
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> eddym:  either i plug it in and it works.. or its totally unsupported and gets put in the closet box i got full of webcams that dont work.
[15:16] <Samus_Aran> hoarycripple: you can do "xhost +localhost" to only allow connections from your own computer, I don't know how to fix the X security issue, though sometimes it involves moving a file from /tmp to ~/.Xauthority.
[15:16] <silvering> mezquitale no sound at all, but i remember, when i install ubuntu, there was this start sound, announcing that the system is loading X
[15:16] <elexodus> I keep receiving this error message when I try to update: http://pastebin.ca/1668250
[15:16] <elexodus> I keep receiving this error message when I try to update: http://pastebin.ca/1668250
[15:16] <Samus_Aran> hoarycripple: you can also log out and back in to fix it
[15:16] <jcrawford> so can anyone tell me how to make the userlist remain to the right of the chat window in gnome xchat?
[15:16] <darthanubis> Dr_Willis, bingo
[15:16] <eddym> dr_willis: lol, which one is working for u
[15:16] <eddym> ?
[15:17] <blueskiesokie> gonna say my google fu was a little slow "Will chinese do?"
[15:17] <Dr_Willis> eddym:  no idea. ive not tried them lately,. i got about 4
[15:17] <mezquitale> silvering, can you try raising your volume with "alsamixer", start alsamixer in a console
[15:17] <Dr_Willis> eddym:  that are in a box somewher. and they are all 3+ yrs old
[15:17] <eddym> dr_willis, damn thats old..
[15:17] <silvering> mezquitale alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[15:17] <Dr_Willis> eddym:  they are so cheap they are just about disposiable.
[15:17] <silvering> mezquitale should i reinstall alsa ?
[15:17] <Dr_Willis> eddym:  some i got for $10
[15:17] <bazhang> jcrawford, is this xchat, or xchat-gnome
[15:17] <Nemurenai> Hi. For some reason grub2 doesn't use the last booted item although I have GRUB_DEFAULT=saved in /etc/default/grub...any ideas why?
[15:17] <darthanubis> eddym, I have two 5+ years old both work. Creative WebLive! and a Logitech
[15:18] <eddym> dr_willis, yeah for that u cant go wrong
[15:18] <mezquitale> jcrawford, you should get rid of that monstruosity and use plain xchat, i hate gnome xchat, cant stand it
[15:18] <darthanubis> eddym, both work with everything except zoneminder
[15:18] <sohail_> alright, I've been lookin but I can't find the GDM or KDM configuration tools
[15:18] <Samus_Aran> so does anyone know why Ubuntu is not letting me install mplayer-nogui or mencoder, instead producing a half-dozen unmeetable dependencies ?
