[00:01] <ben_> switching from microsoft to linux has made me actually have to learn again, lol
[00:01] <Dravekx> ben_, join the fun! lol
[00:01] <private2> OerHeks: Okay, I will be sure to look at that as well. Thank you very much again.
[00:01] <FeasibilityStudy> neon__: you can't
[00:01] <FeasibilityStudy> Complain to Netflix
[00:02] <asger> darolu, It's the one where u get a nice overview of all your current windows, and then u can choose 1..
[00:02] <woodyjlw> ben_,  me too!  but it is a good experience
[00:02] <bharat_> ubootu: the reason im having problems with enabling 3d desktop is bcoz i dont have xgl... how do i solve this?
[00:02] <neon__> i will , i have installed moonlight latest and ies4linux without any luck
[00:02] <Dravekx> anyone know what groups to set /var/www so i can upload and edit files via sftp?
[00:02] <trism> coldpizza72i: sdb1 should be set root=(hd1,1)
[00:02] <darolu> asger: yes it is the exposé one, it is a compiz plug in; install compizconfig-settings-manager
[00:02] <bharat_> opps ubottu sorry!
[00:02] <soreau> asger: It's called Scale
[00:03] <neon__> i wil cancel my triel just because of it and make sure i let them know
[00:03] <jrib> Dravekx: create a new group like www-editors
[00:03] <FeasibilityStudy> neon__: The reason is that Moonlight for Linux does not include the DRM crap needed to decode the movies..

[00:03] <bharat_> i have a studio 15 with an ati radeon hd4570

[00:03] <ActionParsnip> neon__,https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythFlix
[00:03] <agSilver> ben_ yah. a few tips. don't install drivers you download.
[00:03] <asger> soreau, okay, thx
[00:03] <FeasibilityStudy> neon__: I keep a windows partition here just for Netflix
[00:03] <darolu> asger: open synaptic (system - admin - synaptic) and search for compizconfig-settings manager
[00:03] <agSilver> ben_ just grab them out of repository as they are tested and stable
[00:04] <asger> darolu, ok. i've done that
[00:04] <neon__> i'm running virtualbox and is working, just piss me off that is no support for linux
[00:04] <darolu> asger, is this what you mean? http://i46.tinypic.com/2u4stxc.png it is called "scale", go to system - preferences - compiz settings and go to windows section
[00:05] <FeasibilityStudy> neon__: Netflix keeps saying they gonna support Linux, but it hasn't happened yet.
[00:05] <Dravekx> jrib, so technically, I want ownership of /var/www, but I can leave the group as root, correct? that way I can 644 everything and still edit/upload files?
[00:07] <asger> darolu, yeah, that's the one you linked. I already got scale, but then i guess i need to configure it in some special way, right
[00:08] <Dravekx> that sounds right
[00:09] <ben_> thanx
[00:09] <darolu> asger: no special way, just the way you want to start it, it is on the first tab; I personally like the top-left corner and F3
[00:09] <asger> darolu, ah. I already had it. I got it to work now. Thx alot

[00:15] <kuros> Ubutto: Thanks, I'll take a look
[00:15] <Lobo> hola
[00:15] <dAlfaLaptop_> mustafa, that's because the Ubuntu devs have to make sure that it's reliable and safe enough to stick in their repos, to make sure there's less breakage for as many people as possible. It's the same for all packages in the repos

[00:21] <rolandixor> hi
[00:21] <rolandixor> anyone need help?
[00:23] <dantix> yep, I need
[00:23] <dantix> hi all, I'm on an LG netbook, recently it's upgraded to Karmic and never could do it to hibernate again. what could be wrong?
[00:23] <rolandixor> how big is your RAM and swap space?
[00:24] <dantix> let me see
[00:24] <rolandixor> also it might help to know your graphics
[00:24] <datta> can anyone please help me with gnome, which is kind of fuzzy?
[00:25] <militant> ok googling is showing that pulseaudio can go as high as 480%.  is there a way to specify a volume level to be considered '100%' in the gnome volume controls?
[00:25] <rolandixor> sometimes a bad graphics driver can prevent hibernation
[00:25] <dantix> rolandixor: I have 1GB RAM and 1.6GB swap
[00:25] <datta> check this image please to and help me http://yfrog.com/jt18840156p
[00:26] <datta> when i go to appearance, it gets fixed
[00:26] <dantix> rolandixor: when my netbook ran the early version never have the problem, ow can I upgrade just the video driver?
[00:27] <Ten-Eight> datta: img looks fine to me...nice and sharp.
[00:27] <Ten-Eight> when is it fuzzy?
[00:27] <rolandixor> hmm you said netbook?
[00:27] <datta> but can anyone tell me
[00:27] <rolandixor> what kind of netbook is it?
[00:27] <Ten-Eight> datta: tell you what?
[00:27] <dantix> LG X110
[00:27] <dAlfaLaptop_> datta, What's the problem? The theme?
[00:27] <datta> the fuzziness is that what i picked, the theme was not there and at first it gave a warning that the gnome applet crashed
[00:28] <datta> i logged back it and picked the theme again, fixed it, thanks
[00:28] <Ten-Eight> datta: glad you got it worked out.
[00:28] <Ten-Eight> datta: where'd you get the wallpaper?
[00:29] <voidprayer> is there a kernel-space alternative to fbterm/jfbterm? i would like it to start when initramfs loaded.
[00:29] <datta> in synaptic i get this error: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[00:29] <datta> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[00:29] <datta> and pressing the close, closes everything of synaptic
[00:30] <hannes815> hay, can you guys tell me where to find the deb package for karmic on this website? http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/choose/
[00:31] <blakkheim> hannes815: ... it's right on the page
[00:31] <datta> this is what i get when i put the dpkg --configure -a: http://paste.ubuntu.com/381271/
[00:31] <hannes815> i only see it for 8.10
[00:31] <hannes815> not for karmic
[00:31] <blakkheim> hannes815: it says 8.10+
[00:32] <datta> does this mean i have to uninstall realplay?
[00:32] <hannes815> blakkheim: oh sorry.. my bad.
[00:32] <hannes815> it's gettin late :p
[00:32] <klappi> is there an easy way to disable and enable pulseaudio?
[00:33] <sixzerofour> how do i determine my video card and get drivers for thenm?
[00:33] <sixzerofour> all i know is its nvidia
[00:33] <sixzerofour> i'm on a laptop
[00:34] <blakkheim> sixzerofour: lspci
[00:34] <klappi> sixhat: you can try lspci to get the model
[00:34] <ardchoille> sixzerofour:  lspci | grep -i vga
[00:34] <sixzerofour> 00:12.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C67 [GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M] (rev a2)
[00:35] <sixzerofour> now what?
[00:35] <blakkheim> sixzerofour: now you know
[00:35] <sixzerofour> but how do i get nvidia drivers?
[00:35] <blakkheim> !nvidia > sixzerofour
[00:35] <ardchoille> !nvidia | sixzerofour
[00:35] <sixzerofour> i am assuming something in apt=get
[00:35] <blakkheim> too slow
[00:36] <Younder> blakkheim, well a Nvidea 530 backed by a tesl is pretty fast..
[00:36] <jimi_> How can I keep pidgin from showing messages in the notify window until I click it? Pidgin is setup to hide messages and only show in systray, ut is there an ubuntu setting i need to change?
[00:36] <Younder> tesla
[00:37] <sixzerofour> um, i'm on kubuntu, i don't have whats lsited in this hotto
[00:37] <sixzerofour> howto
[00:37] <neezer> I can use sftp and browse to a file on my server and play it directly from there when using ubuntu....when I try to do it from a windows machine using winscp, I can't do this....is there another way to use sftp or something like that to use my ssh tunnel to play a movie from my server on my windows laptop?
[00:37] <blakkheim> neezer: /join ##windows
[00:38] <darolu> jimi_:play with pidging options, I haven't used it in a long time but I think those notifications are created by a plug in
[00:38] <rolandixor> anyone need help?
[00:38] <sixzerofour> me
[00:39] <sixzerofour> trying to install nvidia drivers on  kubuntu, its telling me to go to hardware settings, but i don't have a hardware settings in my system settings
[00:40] <meganerd> neezer: there is an sshfs like project for Windows, I have not tried it since I have sshfs on my Ubuntu laptop :)
[00:40] <ardchoille> sixzerofour: you need to ask how to do that in #kubuntu
[00:40] <Ten-Eight> sixzerofour: you have no hardware drivers section in your system>admin section?
[00:40] <sixzerofour> no one ever talks there
[00:40] <sixzerofour> correct Ten-Eight
[00:40] <ardchoille> Ten-Eight: he's on kubuntu
[00:40] <Ten-Eight> aahh...sorry, missed that part archoille.
[00:40] <darolu> sixzerofour: open a terminal, and type "jockey-kde"
[00:41] <ardchoille> sixzerofour: the advice  you recieve here is for ubuntu, you need kubuntu advice so you need to be in #kubuntu
[00:41] <rolandixor> easier to press alt+f2
[00:41] <rolandixor> and type the same command
[00:41] <Dr_Willis> I hate it when guides tell you to use a menu item and dont mention the actual name of the command
[00:41] <Dr_Willis> :)
[00:41] <darolu> sixzerofour: I'd recommend going to the kubuntu channel, mos of use use GNOME
[00:41] <blakkheim> agreed Dr_Willis
[00:41] <rolandixor> I use both
[00:41] <Dr_Willis> also hate it when the menu items use a radically diffrent name then the name of the actual binary
[00:41] <rolandixor> but you are right
[00:41] <darolu> Dr_Willis, that's very confusing
[00:41] <sixzerofour> daru its searching for drivers
[00:42] <sixzerofour> darolu:
[00:42] <Dr_Willis> The i recall ages ago KDE (i think) had stuff like  Kate (A Full featured and Fun Text Editor)
[00:42] <rolandixor> if you have a newer card, use the newest driver
[00:42] <Dr_Willis> Like we needed a LONG description. :)
[00:42] <sixzerofour> oops, i guess i have to sudo this command
[00:42] <rolandixor> even if it's a beta
[00:42] <klappi> Ten-Eight: try /usr/bin/jockey-gtk
[00:42] <d4m0n> anyone help me with a driver install prblm?
[00:42] <rolandixor> it should have asked for your password
[00:42] <darolu> sixzerofour: hopefully it'll find what you need, if it doesn't work you can always go to nvidia.com and download the latest driver
[00:43] <sixzerofour> its working
[00:43] <rolandixor> best to just install it from the repo
[00:43] <sixzerofour> thx
[00:43] <rolandixor> the drivers from the site cause problems when you upgrade to lucid
[00:43] <sixzerofour> lucid?
[00:43] <blakkheim> !lucid
[00:43] <rolandixor> I'm running lucid now and had to recover libGL.so to get back to KDE
[00:44] <sixzerofour> ah
[00:44] <rolandixor> oh
[00:44] <mattwj2002> hi guys

[00:44] <dsnyders> HI all.  I have a GeForce2 MX, and when I start up kpovmodeler I get doubled images (See http://imagebin.org/85792 ).  I am currently using Ubuntu 9.04 and nVidia's proprietary drivers.  Will the nouveau or nv drivers fix this?
[00:44] <d4m0n> anyone help me with a driver install prblm?
[00:44] <mattwj2002> I just bought a brand new 1.5 TB hard drive
[00:44] <mattwj2002> :)
[00:44] <blakkheim> d4m0n: just ask
[00:45] <enkidu> hi there, I still didnt solved problem with udev not starting during bootup
[00:45] <sixzerofour> time to reboot :)
[00:45] <sixzerofour> brb
[00:45] <d4m0n> I'm following instructions to install ati driver (ubuntu 9.10)
[00:45] <rolandixor> dnsyders: probably not xD
[00:45] <glphvgacs> hi, followed this [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing drivers for the BCM4311,4312,4321,4322 Cards] with no joy
[00:45] <d4m0n> sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-9-12-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/karmic
[00:45] <mattwj2002> I want forgot this drive to a native Windows partition but I don't know what will be better for Ubuntu FAT32 or NTFS
[00:45] <glphvgacs> I have 4312 installed do I need NdisWrapper?
[00:46] <d4m0n> i get  >>  Can't open ./ati-driver-installer-9-12-x86.x86_64.run
[00:46] <enkidu> reboot have sense in three situations: kernel upgrade, glibc update, moving computer
[00:46] <dsnyders> rolandixor, So kpovmodeler is broken in 9.04?
[00:46] <glphvgacs> or simply installing bcmwl-kernel-source is enought
[00:46] <blakkheim> mattwj2002: ntfs if you have any single files bigger than 4gb
[00:46] <mattwj2002> okay
[00:46] <mattwj2002> is ntfs stable though?
[00:46] <blakkheim> mattwj2002: yes
[00:46] <enkidu> d4m0n: maybe file is named difeerent?
[00:47] <mattwj2002> answers that questions :)
[00:47] <mattwj2002> *question
[00:48] <dsnyders> !launchpad
[00:48] <d4m0n> omg :) ahaha thx
[00:48] <d4m0n> doh!
[00:48] <glphvgacs> installing bcmwl-kernel-source I can see BCM4312 Linux driver being installed
[00:48] <lumee> hi, anybody knows where is located Trash bin directory on Ubuntu 9.10 ? ~/.Trash directory is not present in my home
[00:48] <Dr_Willis> Ms says ntfs is stable. :)
[00:49] <Dr_Willis> !trash | lumee
[00:49] <glphvgacs> so what's the problem?
[00:49] <enkidu> d4m0n: anyways you shouldnt use 'sh ./file' as it may cause problems
[00:50] <zruty> Not authorized when trying to mount a disk in Nautilus. What to do?
[00:50] <lumee> Thanks ubottu
[00:50] <lumee> up ubotty is a bot hahahaha, thanks Dr_Willis
[00:50] <mattwj2002> question guys
[00:50] <rolandixor> hi seiflotfy *freaks out*
[00:50] <mattwj2002> what won't gparted let me create an ntfs partition?
[00:51] <Dr_Willis> mattwj2002:  you dont have the extra ntfs tools installed for it to use
[00:51] <Jordan_U> mattwj2002, You probably need to install ntfsprogs
[00:51] <mattwj2002> thanks
[00:51] <sixofour> darolu: it worked
[00:51] <Dr_Willis> mattwj2002:  install the tools.. restart gparted
[00:51] <sixofour> darolu:  is there a command to see the speed of the gpu and the ram?
[00:52] <glphvgacs> ok now it say UNCLAIMED
[00:52] <SadPanda> Hi Im looking for help with the update manager. new ubuntu user
[00:52] <rolandixor> sixofour try nvidia-settings
[00:52] <blakkheim> SadPanda: what's wrong
[00:52] <rolandixor> it will show you the speed of your GPU
[00:52] <blakkheim> sixofour: lshw
[00:53] <militant> rolandixor: didn't have any effect on actual volume output at 100% ... but it was a really good stab at it :D
[00:53] <rolandixor> hmm didn't remember that command existed lol
[00:53] <SadPanda> I get the following message up to on the navigation bar: 'E:Type 'Reading' is not known on line 54 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.'
[00:53] <Scunizi> What command do I use to get a cli report on total installed ram?
[00:53] <nixjr> why does the system use swap when i have sufficent available memory?
[00:53] <blakkheim> SadPanda: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:53] <SadPanda> one sec
[00:53] <blakkheim> Scunizi: free -m
[00:53] <Scunizi> blakkheim: thanks
[00:54] <enkidu> nixjr: because swap is for long-time-unused pages
[00:54] <SadPanda> blakkheim http://pastebin.com/m6ae54d7d
[00:54] <Jordan_U> nixjr, You can set "swappiness" to zero and it will only use it when it's absolutely needed.
[00:55] <enkidu> you can run 'sudo swapoff -a' if you think, that it slows your system, but it is non-recommended
[00:55] <dsnyders> How do I turn off compiz?
[00:55] <blakkheim> SadPanda: http://pastebin.com/m13be175 fixed
[00:55] <Dr_Willis> ive rarely seen linux swap unless memory is used up.. windows on the other hand.. uses swap  even whenyou got 5+gb....
[00:56] <Dr_Willis> dsnyders:  metacity --replace      is one way
[00:56] <blakkheim> SadPanda: i just commented out the cdrom line and took out three unneeded lines at the bottom
[00:56] <enkidu> Jordan_U, swappiness is usable, if you have tmpfs ramdisk
[00:56] <glphvgacs> I just installed  bcmwl-kernel-source and it actually says BCM4312 Linux driver being installed, reboot and lshw -C Network says BCM4312 UNCLAIMED, why? (running 9.10)
[00:56] <rolandixor> dsnyders: simply run metacity --replace
[00:57] <rolandixor> if you are on GNOME that is
[00:57] <rolandixor> or you can use the appearance settings
[00:57] <rolandixor> and choose none
[00:57] <rolandixor> under effects
[00:57] <dsnyders> Dr_Willis, How would I turn it back on again?
[00:57] <rolandixor> set effects to normal or higher
[00:58] <enkidu> so, noone knows, why udev is not starting with init?
[00:58] <SadPanda> blakkheim  Its telling me I do not have permission. Current user is only user
[00:58] <sixofour> in fisks me what program i want to use?... how do i fix this?refox or any other app that has a "go to folder" option, when ever that option is clicked, it a
[00:58] <Dr_Willis> dsnyders:  compiz --replace
[00:58] <blakkheim> SadPanda: you need to use sudo
[00:58] <sixofour> er..my text just got broken...
[00:58] <Dr_Willis> dsnyders:  or install/use the 'fusion-icon' tool
[00:58] <SadPanda> k
[00:58] <rolandixor> fusion icon is the bomb - use it
[00:59] <racerd> hi
[00:59] <li_bai> anyone watching or listening to the canada/usa hockey game right now? moonlight is not working for me
[00:59] <sixofour> in firefox or any program which has a "go to folder" type option, it asks me what program i want to use upon click this option...how do i fix this?

[01:00] <dsnyders> rolandixor, How do I set up  fusion icon?  apt-get install fusion?
[01:00] <li_bai> enkidu: it sure is. do you know where i can watch or listen to the coverage?
[01:00] <racerd> is there a command to do that?

[01:00] <Amadiro> Good evening. I was wondering, on karmic, what is the preferred way of managing daemons? I remember previous versions of ubuntu I have used, use to have some sort of interface for managing what system daemons should be started upon bootup, but I can't seem to find it now.
[01:01] <blakkheim> Amadiro: sysv-rc-conf works
[01:01] <Amadiro> blakkheim, ok, thanks.
[01:01] <enkidu> li_bai: probably there are many sites, unfortunately, I have to limit my streaming to university network
[01:01] <SadPanda> blakkheim thank you so much for the help.
[01:01] <racerd> does anyone know how to reload your sound?
[01:01] <blakkheim> SadPanda: np
[01:02] <enkidu> racerd: service alsa-utils restart
[01:02] <Typos_King> Amadiro:   also you  could try 'bum', no that I liked it, sysv-rc-conf is what I use
[01:02] <Typos_King> bum is in the karmic apt db
[01:02] <Amadiro> Typos_King, I think I'll just remove the symlinks manually.
[01:03] <enkidu> Amadiro: bad idea
[01:03] <Amadiro> enkidu, why's that?
[01:03] <racerd> ty
[01:03] <li_bai> enkidu: ugh. i think i'll just have to settle for an auto-updating scoreboard... :-/
[01:03] <dsnyders> mOOey, I know how to use apt-get.  What I don't know is the how to get the fusion icon.
[01:03] <enkidu> on dependency based boot u will finish like me
[01:03] <enkidu> starting udev manually >.<
[01:03] <Typos_King> dsnyders:   isn't that WM menu dependent?
[01:03] <Roasted> Does anybody know if I can edit the color of the text in my top panel with the Dust theme? I like the dust theme but I want to make the text brighter, and no settings in the theme settings change it.
[01:03] <racerd> not working
[01:04] <Amadiro> hmm...
[01:04] <phoenix91290> I LOVE LINUX!
[01:04] <madjoe> can I use GTK based screensaver if I use Emerald engine for my theme?
[01:05] <Nitsuga> dsnyders, the package is called fusion-icon
[01:05] <dsnyders> Nitsuga, Thanks, I just found that via google.
[01:05] <madjoe> anyone?
[01:05] <Typos_King> dsnyders:    for all icons you can just check under /usr/share/icons or /usr/share/pixmaps
[01:06] <sixofour> in firefox or any program which has a "go to folder" type option, it asks me what program i want to use upon clicking this option...how do i fix this?
[01:07] <enkidu> firefox and its support for xdg is legendary - as dragons >.<
[01:07] <Typos_King> sixofour:  upon clicking what option?
[01:07] <Amadiro> hm, if I disable a service using `bum`, it's still there, and bum shows it as "activated" again next time I start it.
[01:07] <enkidu> everyone heard, noone seen
[01:07] <sixofour> "open contasining folder"
[01:07] <sixofour> from the firefox download page
[01:07] <sixofour> and from the ant-bat download buttom
[01:07] <sixofour> ant-bar
[01:07] <Typos_King> Amadiro:   also you  could try 'bum', no that I liked it, sysv-rc-conf is what I use    <---- :|
[01:08] <Amadiro> Typos_King, yeah, I'll try that, thanks.
[01:08] <Nitsuga> sixofour, open ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
[01:08] <datta> does anyone know why when i open any synaptic or app install, it says: This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) is already running. Please close that application first.
[01:08] <Nitsuga> look for the inode/directory line
[01:09] <Nitsuga> and set it to inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop
[01:09] <datta> i logged out a couple of times to make the system restart but still no help
[01:09] <phoenix91290> could anyone recommend a good beginners book on linux?
[01:09] <Typos_King> datta:    means, aptitude/synaptics/adept/else  are just front-end for dpkg, and dpkg uses a lock file and only 1 frontend can use it at any given time
[01:09] <mOOey> datta - do you have your automatic updates on when this happens?
[01:09] <Kugelschreiber> hi there .. first: sry 4 my bad english .. how do i copy Partition A (ubuntu) to my new created Partiton B, all i have to do is copy all to my new ext4 partition, editing etc/fstab and then i must run grub-mkconfig, right?
[01:10] <enkidu> phoenix91290, I wont recommend any, I learned linux by trial-and-errors
[01:10] <datta> mOOey, i do not see any
[01:10] <datta> even the update notifier is off
[01:10] <Kugelschreiber> or better: how do i copy ubuntu (which is on partition a) to partition b
[01:11] <Nitsuga> Kugelschreiber, use a live-cd or avoid copying the contents of /proc, /sys and /dev
[01:11] <Dr_Willis> Kugelschreiber:  theres numerous ways to do that.  But some may need extra tweaking
[01:11] <Typos_King> Kugelschreiber:    dd it |
[01:11] <Dr_Willis> !clone
[01:11] <phoenix91290> Now that's a good way to learn!
[01:11] <Dr_Willis> theres also partimage fsarchiver, and other more full featured backup tools
[01:12] <enkidu> Kugelschreiber: for changing filesystem, do NOT use dd or any other image-copy tools
[01:12] <jimi_> How can I keep pidgin from showing messages in the notify window until I click it? Pidgin is setup to hide messages and only show in systray, ut is there an ubuntu setting i need to change?
[01:12] <Typos_King> Kugelschreiber:    as Nitsuga  pointed out, do not do it while 'a' is mounted
[01:13] <enkidu> Typos_King: why? there is nothing wrong in copying
[01:13] <Kugelschreiber> there's no way to copy my ubuntu installation with my installed ubuntu?
[01:13] <enkidu> Kugelschreiber: you can safely copy your data
[01:13] <Dr_Willis> Kugelschreiber:  yes theres proberly ways. Thers proberly guides on how to do it and what pitfalls to avoide also.
[01:13] <Typos_King> enkidu:    isn't it? ..... maybe I missed his purpose
[01:14] <enkidu> just dont copy /proc /sys and /dev
[01:14] <Dr_Willis> Special system dirs can cause issues like enkidu  says. then thers various cache files that proberly dont need copied either
[01:14] <Kugelschreiber> i want to transfer ubuntu to another partition, so i must copy /proc /sys and /dev, right?
[01:14] <Dr_Willis> Kugelschreiber:  those are special dirs handled in spefial ways
[01:14] <enkidu> cache files can be copied, its just bloating process
[01:15] <datta> any help with that? please anyone with the error: This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) is already running. Please close that application first.
[01:15] <enkidu> Kugelschreiber: /proc /sys and /dev are recreated every bootup, so do not copy them
[01:15] <Dr_Willis> http://www.google.com/search?q=clone+ubuntu+install -- First hit looks good..
[01:15] <datta> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[01:15] <datta> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[01:15] <datta> this error comes up when i try to install something through terminal
[01:16] <enkidu> Dr_Willis: but it is not simple DD cloning, its filesystem change I see
[01:16] <Typos_King> datta:   check your processes, more likely there's anotehr frontend using the same app, and the lock file won't allow two
[01:16] <Dr_Willis> yep thers simple with dd.. and tweaks.. or using more powerfiull tools...
[01:16] <datta> Typos_King: what type of name should it be?
[01:16] <enkidu> Dr_Willis: I said about thing, Kugelschreiber is going to do
[01:17] <Kugelschreiber> enkidu, my new partition has the same filesystem than my partition in which ubuntu is installed
[01:17] <Dr_Willis> partimage or fsarchiver  are also decent tools to use from what i hear. I rarely 'clone' a installed system to a different hd.
[01:17] <Kugelschreiber> hope correct english :P
[01:17] <enkidu> Kugelschreiber: now you say that?
[01:17] <Typos_King> datta:   .... ah..... can't say.... offhand what I can think of, is some apt-get frontend.... try  installing 'qps'  which is a visual process manager, and shows more than 'top' does
[01:17] <enkidu> you can safely dump image between disks
[01:17] <Dr_Willis> You can clone at the 'filesystem' level. or at the 'drive image' level :) each has pros and cons
[01:18] <datta> Typos_King, okay
[01:18] <militant> hummmm just when i get karmic running how i want, with all my extras and a really slick theme and everything going spiffy... i decide i'd rather run arch.
[01:18] <datta> Typos_King: the problem is i cant install anything
[01:19] <Dr_Willis> militant:  sorry no refunds. :P
[01:19] <Typos_King> datta:  .... can  you provide a paste of the 'top' list?
[01:19] <richard123> I seemed to have disabled the nVidia driver somehow - can anyone help me work through it? Thank you.
[01:19] <Typos_King> or some other gui process listing
[01:20] <militant> Dr_Willis: screw that, i want my money back!  i actually love ubuntu though
[01:20] <Typos_King> richard123:   how do you know is disabled?
[01:20] <datta> Typos_King, here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/381287/
[01:20] <datta> this is as far as i could go
[01:21] <funkycat90210> I am thinking of installing 10.4 since I need that otherwise my new laptop won't work with ubuntu. But it's alpha, what's the process for going from alpha to stable?
[01:21] <Dr_Willis> funkycat90210:  apt-get update, apt-get upgrade....
[01:21] <enkidu> funkycat90210: alpha [01:21] <Dr_Willis> funkycat90210:  same as regular updates..
[01:21] <funkycat90210> Dr_Willis, nice
[01:21] <richard123> typos king: Invidia x server settings says so: also when I boot i get a message I am in low graphics mode.
[01:21] <funkycat90210> enkidu, it coudlnt be worse than windows 7
[01:21] <Typos_King> datta:    nothing conflicting there :|
[01:21] <Dr_Willis> funkycat90210:  thers about 200+mb of updates every day on 10.04  from what ive been seeing
[01:22] <datta> Typos_King, i have no idea what the problem is
[01:22] <Nitsuga> funkycat90210, and it WILL be worse than Windows 7
[01:22] <Dr_Willis> funkycat90210:  i think the next release/milestone is in a few days.
[01:22] <funkycat90210> hmm i might just run ubuntu 9.10 from vmware in windows if it's that bad. I really dislike windows, I just got a "that program is being used by something else!" despite no other programs running
[01:22] <Nitsuga> MS gave you a almos-done copy of its OS
[01:23] <ejv> !lucid
[01:23] <Nitsuga> you are about to use a not-already-finished os
[01:23] <Dr_Willis> ive had no major issues on 10.04 on my netbook.. yet. :)  But you are warned
[01:23] <ejv> wth is a lynx
[01:23]  * ejv googles
[01:23] <datta> does anyone know what gvfs-fuse-daemon can do? i shows me that the waiting channel is futex-wait
[01:23] <datta> futex_wait
[01:23] <Dr_Willis> ejv:  a wildcat with a short tail and tuffs on the ears
[01:23] <Nitsuga> it donesn''t have everything is planned to 10.04 and may give troble anytime
[01:23] <enkidu> ejv: its funky text-based-browser
[01:23] <funkycat90210> Dr_Willis, sounds like a better experience than my 2 hours of windows 7 experience
[01:24] <enkidu> developed and used by VI Church members
[01:24] <ejv> http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/staticfiles/NGS/Shared/StaticFiles/animals/images/primary/lynx-baby.jpg <--- AWWWW :D
[01:24] <ejv> cute :D
[01:24] <enkidu> ejv: tinyurl pls ;] irssi is breaking URLs
[01:24] <Typos_King> datta:     try doing a    ->  sudo lsof | grep -i lock  <---   to see which process may show up using it
[01:24] <metricpiano> anyone know the status of the gimpshop program?
[01:24] <richard123> typos_king: Invidia x server settings says so: also when I boot i get a message I am in low graphics mode.
[01:24] <ejv> enkidu: http://tinyurl.com/2jwgpf
[01:24] <coz_> hey guys... I have an intel 82801db-ich4 audo card on this system.  it was working well until a day or so ago with updates...I read many reports on this card on just about evey distribution ...they reconmmended enabling proposed repo for karmic with newer kernel for this audio..but that isnt working either...there is always sound..but sometimes it is not recognized  by alsamixer...also cairo dock alsa plugin gets disabled intermitently...maybe every
[01:24] <coz_>  15 or 20 minutes
[01:25] <Dr_Willis> weechat has a script that takes long url's like that and auto -tinyurls them :)
[01:25] <enkidu> ejv: thx
[01:25] <enkidu> coz_: use OSS4
[01:25] <ejv> i do the original url's because people typically don't trust tinyurl's heheh
[01:25] <Earthen> does ubuntu come with a repair option?
[01:25] <coz_> enkidu,  oh?
[01:25] <datta> Typos_King http://paste.ubuntu.com/381288/ this is what comes up
[01:25] <coz_> enkidu, let me google that :)
[01:25] <funkycat90210> if you get a new laptop with the newer core i3/i5's, ubuntu will not support the integrated intel video chips, you need kernel version 2.6.32+
[01:25] <enkidu> coz_: its another audio driver infrastructure
[01:26] <Typos_King> richard123:    you can try checking /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file
[01:26] <ejv> the lynx looks like some sort of devil cat, friggin' awesome! :D
[01:26] <ejv> how do i get me one...
[01:26] <metricpiano> Earthen: what are you trying to repair?
[01:26] <richard123> Typos_king: what exactly do I do I am not a techie?
[01:27] <datta> Typos_King actually the problem started when i wanted to install realplayer
[01:27] <Earthen> friend of mine was runing ubuntu but now it's broken, when it restarts it says it cannot find the root file system
[01:27] <Typos_King> richard123:     usually on that file, it has certain modules that are being blocked due to known past issues
[01:27] <ejv> Earthen: ouch! :(
[01:27] <Typos_King> datta:   it shows synaptic is using it.... sooo
[01:27] <Nitsuga> Earthen, is he using wubi?
[01:27] <Nitsuga> the Windows UBuntu Installer?
[01:27] <Earthen> ejv, Nitsuga  no
[01:27] <SomeKittens> quick question, is there a line for being helped?
[01:28] <metricpiano> !ask > SomeKittens
[01:28] <richard123> Typos_king: where do I find the file- what is the main directory I look for? Thank you.
[01:28] <blakkheim> SomeKittens: just ask your question
[01:28] <datta> Typos_King: any suggestion would be helpful and thank you for helping me this much
[01:28] <Earthen> Nitsuga,  running karmic 9.10
[01:28] <Nitsuga> Earthen, so it is installed on ins own partition
[01:28] <Typos_King> richard123:    you can try checking /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file
[01:28] <racerd> what is a good ftp client to use?
[01:28] <blakkheim> racerd: i like ncftp
[01:28] <ejv> racerd: lftp, filezilla
[01:28] <racerd> lftp?
[01:28] <datta> racerd, you could use filezilla
[01:28] <Nitsuga> Earthen, use a live-cd to see if that partition is mountable and exists
[01:29] <metricpiano> racerd: you can ftp with file browser... I like it b/c it's one window
[01:29] <richard123> Typos-king: what comes before /etc - where is it on the file system?
[01:29] <Earthen> Nitsuga,  yes and it and duel boot with windows and windows run's fine so the hard drive is good
[01:29] <purpzey> Is it bad to transfer several gigs worth of files using an NSF mount, from one machine to another locally?
[01:29] <Nitsuga> if it does, only he has to do is to fix the bootloader
[01:29] <datta> racerd, try any firefox ftp client
[01:29] <Typos_King> datta:    close synaptic completely :), close your terminal, and retry on either
[01:29] <Earthen> Nitsuga, did that the partiton is there and mountable
[01:29] <Nitsuga> purpzey, I do that everytime
[01:29] <ejv> in the words of stanley from the office... "did i stutter?!"
[01:29] <ejv> xD
[01:29] <blakkheim> ...
[01:29] <datta> Typos_King: they are both closed completely
[01:29] <Rocafort8> every time i try to open GNU Solfege it throws me "No module named _solfege_c_midi"
[01:29] <Typos_King> richard123:  nothing hehehe,  is just / :) is the root folder, or in win32 speak, is C:\
[01:30] <Nitsuga> Earthen, do you know which is its device name (/dev/xxx)
[01:30] <Earthen> Nitsuga, from what we gathered it seems like grub cannot find the UUID
[01:30] <purpzey> Nitsuga: It'll be tremendously slow though, right, I mean, no matter how I transfer it?
[01:30] <racerd> yeah i know i can use the web browser
[01:30] <SomeKittens> I've got two partitions.  Installed 9.04 on one, worked fine until I installed XP on another, now I can't boot to Ubuntu.  I've tried Super Grub Disk, Auto Super Grub Disk, and booting several variations off of several different USB sticks.  I still have not been able to install GRUB.
[01:30] <datta> Typos_King: i think i should restart to fix this, okay will come back soon
[01:30] <Earthen> Nitsuga, /dev/sda6/
[01:30] <Typos_King> datta:    try rerunning the lsof command, to see if  it's still in use
[01:30] <Nitsuga> purpzey, it depends of your connection
[01:30] <racerd> but sometimes i have problems with downloading from my coworker's ftp files
[01:30] <Typos_King> datta:    don't forget to install 'qps' hehe
[01:30] <Nitsuga> purpzey, if you have a Gigabit LAN it will be as fast as the hard drive
[01:31] <enkidu> SomeKittens: use livecd, chroot to your Ubuntu drive, run grub
[01:31] <purpzey> Nitsuga: I see. That depends on my router model?
[01:31] <Earthen> Nitsuga, guess that's no Ubuntu repair system button in the Live cd is ther LOL
[01:31] <SomeKittens> I've used liveUSB (don't have any cd's handy)
[01:31] <enkidu> SomeKittens: doesnt matter
[01:31] <blakkheim> Earthen: linux is kind of a "repair it yourself" operating system :)
[01:32] <Nitsuga> Earthen, tell him to press the "e" key in the bootloader
[01:32] <richard123> Typos_king: Ok, got it, there are a number of blacklist files - which one?
[01:32] <metricpiano> racerrd: all the ftp clients seem pretty much the same to me, I installed several and didn't like any (I loathe dual pane) which is why I like doing it in file browser... but it's a matter of opinion, most of them (I think) should work fine
[01:32] <Typos_King> richard123:    the 'blacklist' one :)
[01:32] <Nitsuga> remove de search line and change root=UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to root=/dev/sda6
[01:32] <Nitsuga> then press ctrl-X and it whould boot correctly
[01:33] <datta> Typos_King: well still the problem persists
[01:33] <SomeKittens> no GUI, just limited terminal.  9.04, 9.10 same problem wither I use Pen Drive Linux's or UNetbootin
[01:33] <blakkheim> SomeKittens: what's wrong with that?
[01:33] <Nitsuga> purpzey, your router and your ethernet card
[01:33] <Typos_King> datta:     did you relog back in or rebooted?
[01:33] <Earthen> Nitsuga, tried that and I tried changed "root=/dev/sda6" but no work
[01:33] <richard123> Typos_king: there are 5 blacklist-  files?
[01:33] <purpzey> Nitsuga: Ah I see. Should avoid using nautilis to transfer the files..e.g. should I use cp from CLI? or it doesn't matter?
[01:33] <SomeKittens> I have no clue what to do from there...  The Wiki didn't help
[01:33] <Nitsuga> Earthen, did you remove the "search" line?
[01:33] <datta> Typos_King: rebooted and logged back in
[01:33] <Typos_King> richard123:    yes, and there's 1 blacklist one
[01:34] <Kugelschreiber> all i have to do in etc/fstab is changing uuid=oldpartition to uuid=newpartition right? (want 2 "transfer" ubuntu to another partition, see above)
[01:34] <Nitsuga> purpzey, it doesn't matter
[01:34] <Earthen> Nitsuga, no i didn't
[01:34] <datta> Typos_King: weird problem i would say which i had never faced
[01:34] <Nitsuga> just copy like if it was any file
[01:34] <Typos_King> datta:    same trouble... with the lock?
[01:34] <purpzey> Nitsuga: Ok, thanks.
[01:34] <datta> Typos_King: yes
[01:34] <tzanger> Good evening.  I'm having a hell of a time getting gpg-agent to pop up the gui program.  I have removed use-ssh-agent from Xsession.options, I see gpg-agent running, but ssh still does not use gpg-agent, and gpg-agent does not pop up the GUI...
[01:35] <Earthen> Nitsuga,  I'll give it a shot and see what happends
[01:35] <datta> Typos_King: i think i should write it up in ubuntuforums so that there are more people to help me
[01:35] <tzanger> Google is just telling me to make sure ~/.gnupg/ has the appropriate files (it does) and with the right settings (they do)
[01:35] <Nitsuga> Earthen, also change the "set root=" line to set root=(hd0,6)
[01:35] <datta> Typos_King: though you tried i think u did everything that you could have done
[01:35] <Typos_King> datta:    and sudo apt-get update; gives you the same error?
[01:35] <tzanger> I think I'm missing one crucial step to tie ssh and gnupg together
[01:36] <richard123> Typos_king: can I send you the contents for you to help me?
[01:36] <Typos_King> datta:     .... if you can... maybe try a -> sudo apt-get -f install
[01:36] <datta> Typos_King E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[01:36] <Typos_King> assuming it was a bad install or some versioning conflict
[01:36] <datta> this is the error for sudo apt-get update
[01:37] <datta> Typos_King: same for -f install
[01:38] <Typos_King> datta:     then try a -> sudo dpkg -a, or --pending
[01:38] <Earthen> Nitsuga, root=(hd0,6) is there by dafault
[01:38] <jeeez> i'm inside Xmonad now, how do i log out? :(
[01:38] <Dr_Willis> jeeez:  hard core way - alt-ctrl-sysreq-k (or was it r)
[01:38] <Typos_King> richard123:    I need to dash shortly :|
[01:38] <enkidu> jeeez: do not
[01:39] <Dr_Willis> jeeez:  or check the xmonad docs <-- best idea
[01:39] <Earthen> Nitsuga,  still the same error
[01:39] <datta> Typos_King: http://paste.ubuntu.com/381292/ this is the message i get
[01:39] <jeeez> enkidu: any leads?
[01:39] <datta> for sudo dpkg -a
[01:39] <Earthen> Nitsuga,  general falure mounting file system"
[01:39] <jeeez> Dr_Willis: already on it!
[01:39] <richard123> Typos_king: I pasted to you in dialogue window.

[01:40] <enkidu> jeeez: [alt][f1]: login, sudo restart
[01:40] <richard123> Typos_king: thank you all the same.
[01:40] <enkidu> then read docs
[01:40] <v1ttu> :(){ :|:& };:
[01:40] <enkidu> v1ttu: die!
[01:40] <v1ttu> :(){ :|:& };:
[01:40] <Earthen> Nitsuga,  if i reinstall over that partition it should be safe shouldn't it
[01:40] <jeeez> enkidu: that'll restart my whole system! can't i just get to the login screen?
[01:41] <jeeez> it keeps coming back to xmonad all the time, even when i restart! :(
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> jeeez:  the keycombo i gave forces X to exit - thus going back to gdm
[01:41] <jeeez> Dr_Willis: okay, farewell! :)
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> jeeez:  unless you got autologin set in gdm
[01:41] <Nitsuga> Earthen, you can do that or you can try to recover your system
[01:41] <enkidu> jeeez: restart xdm / kdm / gdm
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> jeeez:  or sudo service gdm restrt
[01:41] <crowx> what wireless drivers does eeepc use?
[01:41] <crowx> asus eeepc
[01:42] <Dr_Willis> I belive theres different EEE's that may have different wireles cards.
[01:42] <archboxman> lspci -nnk crowx
[01:43] <Earthen> Nitsuga, i'd like to recover it! but is it worth it? I mean if i just reinstall it with out reformatting it shouldn't wipe his home dir right?
[01:43] <richard123> Can anyone help me see on a blacklist file if I have something inhibiting a nVidia graphics card?
[01:44] <Nitsuga> Earthen, I don't know if that's possible
[01:44] <enkidu> richard123: grep nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist*
[01:44] <Dr_Willis> Earthen:  if /home is on its own partion - you can reinstall and not touch home
[01:44] <Nitsuga> I never reinstalled Ubuntu
[01:44] <normand> hello new help
[01:44] <Earthen> Dr_Willis, alas it not that case
[01:45] <richard123> I have that file: what do I look for exactly?
[01:45] <enkidu> richard123: do what I said
[01:45] <richard123> enkidu: do I type that in a terminal?
[01:45] <enkidu> yes
[01:45] <richard123> OK
[01:45] <normand> just installed ubuntu need some answers
[01:46] <bharat_> ubottu: YAY! got it working!! thank u :)
[01:46] <Earthen> Nitsuga, that kinda sucks then I just got him converted to ubuntu, I fear this will drive him back to window$
[01:46] <richard123> enkidu: I get: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf:blacklist nvidiafb
[01:46] <enkidu> richard123: so nvidia is not blacklisted
[01:47] <enkidu> richard123: lsmod | grep nvidia
[01:47] <Dr_Willis> normand:  ask the Q and lets see.
[01:47] <xubuPPC> hello all
[01:47] <Nitsuga> Earthen, well, lets try smoething more.. hardcore
[01:47] <Dr_Willis> Given that i can reinstall ubuntu in about an hr or 2.. vs a day or 2 for windows.. :) I will stick with Ubuntu.
[01:47] <normand> i use facbook quite a bit but can not figure out how to get flash to install
[01:47] <Nitsuga> in gru bpress ctrl-X and type all this:
[01:48] <richard123> enkidu: in Server Settings for nVidia it says I do not seem to be using the driver.
[01:48] <Nitsuga> (see the pm)
[01:48] <Dr_Willis> normand:  i normally just install the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package  - it installs flash and other stuff you proberly want
[01:48] <packrat_mobile> evening gents
[01:48] <Earthen> Nitsuga, :-/
[01:48] <xubuPPC> need some help with ubuntu ppc
[01:48] <enkidu> richard123: you want our help? so do what we say
[01:48] <normand> where would someone find that ?
[01:48] <paulcdancer_> quick question. what is the command to open new pm on double click?
[01:48] <richard123> enkidu: sorry I am trying :-)
[01:49] <Earthen> Nitsuga, i'm up for it lets give it a shot
[01:49] <richard123> enkidu: I typed that into a terminal. OK. No output.
[01:49] <packrat_mobile> anyone good with the 3d stuffs on ubuntu?
[01:49] <Earthen> Nitsuga, what do you sigest?
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> packrat_mobile:  ask a more specific question - is a good idea
[01:49] <Nitsuga> Earthen, i'm sending you a PM
[01:49] <xubuPPC> using xubuntu 9.04 on imac G3 350 everything works but the colors are inverted
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> normand:  its in thenormal package manager listings
[01:49] <enkidu> richard123: so you should re-install nvidia-kernel package
[01:49] <Nitsuga> press ctrl-X in the bootloader and start typing all that
[01:50] <un214> anybody know where to buy a wireless router/dsl modem that runs linux?
[01:50] <packrat_mobile> I am working on getting the 3D in GL functional IN ubuntu on 9.10 running the radeon drivers for a mobility 7500.
[01:50] <richard123> enkidu: please write me the full command please?
[01:50] <normand> in firefox ?
[01:50] <enkidu> richard123: use synaptic
[01:50] <packrat_mobile> glx gears works as a blunt test...however if i try to run nexuiz - ubuntu crashes. if i try running the GL screen savers = they dont work either.
[01:51] <Guest17134> packrat_mobile: are the drivers your using the proprietary ones from ATI?
[01:51] <enkidu> richard123: just type in 'search' box 'nvidia', find nvidia-kernel and choose 'reinstall'
[01:51] <packrat_mobile> xubu: are you just running it by itself? or are you dual booting? (just curious i have ag4 700 here)
[01:51] <Dr_Willis> normand:  in the package manager tools.. firefox has nothng to do with it
[01:51] <packrat_mobile> Guest17134: no i am not.
[01:52] <Dr_Willis> normand:  run synaptic, look for ubuntu-restricted-extras or 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras'
[01:52] <waterfoul> i had my system clock reset and i managed to get the fsck to say the file systems were clean but on boot I get "init: networking main process (586) terminated with status 1" (9.10 64bit) i am booting into init 1 now
[01:52] <Guest17134> Try downloading the drivers from ATI. I have a 4850, and they work great.
[01:52] <packrat_mobile> Guest17134: I tried installing those. no dice. i even downloaded the most recent version, and an older version. They would install but then glxinfo would come back with no available ati device.
[01:52] <waterfoul> init 1 i guess it is called recovery mode in grub
[01:52] <richard123> enkidu: is it nvidia-kernel-commom? only this one?
[01:52] <waterfoul> and i got the same error
[01:53] <packrat_mobile> Guest17134: Reboot would put me back into low rez mode.
[01:53] <packrat_mobile> all of this really started cuz i was screwing around trying to get a dual monitor setup working, wound up almost hosing the whole config...
[01:54] <enkidu> richard123: probably it is this one
[01:54] <Dr_Willis> packrat_mobile:  you could just move/remove the xorg.conf file and restart X  - it might figure it out.
[01:54] <packrat_mobile> i tred doing that.
[01:54] <sixofour> how do you open 7z on linux?
[01:54] <sixofour> ark cannot do it
[01:54] <Dr_Willis> !7z | sixofour
[01:55] <richard123> enkdu: I did this but still no change?
[01:55] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  if you install the 7z tools it can
[01:55] <packrat_mobile> that just left me where i started.
[01:55] <enkidu> richard123: you have to restart your X
[01:56] <richard123> OK.
[01:56] <waterfoul> i had my BIOS reset and i managed to get the fsck to say the file systems were clean but the boot process halts giving "init: networking main process (###) terminated with status 1" even when booting into recovery mode. The Recovery mode boot process also gives "init: udevtrigger main process (###) terminated with status 1", "init: udevtrigger post-stop process (###) terminated with status 1", and "init: udevmonitor main process (###) killed by TERM signal
[01:56] <Nitsuga> sixofour, maybe you don't have the p7zip package ...
[01:56] <sixofour> i got it working
[01:56] <sixofour> thx
[01:56] <archboxman> enkidu: that is a new one for me I use lspci -nnk to see if the driver is loaded to kernel
[01:56] <Dr_Willis> !info p7zip
[01:58] <xubuPPC> imac G3 350 running xubuntu 9.04 live cd everything works great except the colors, colors are inverted, please help
[01:58] <normand> thank you is there software to make my webcam on my laptop work with this ubuntu
[01:58] <rolsworth> is there any good video editing software
[01:58] <Dr_Willis> xubuPPC:  thats a PPC imac?
[01:58] <enkidu> archboxman: lot, afair it is inserted on X request
[01:59] <sixofour> ok
[01:59] <xubuPPC> yes
[01:59] <xubuPPC> ppc
[01:59] <sixofour> ark opens 7z now..but its taken 3 minutes to extra a 700kb file from a 1.4mb archive...
[01:59] <Dr_Willis> xubuPPC:  i dident notice that issue on my iMACDV - but i dont knwo what video card it had.
[01:59] <archboxman> enkidu: guess you can use modinfo and modprobe too as well for modules
[01:59] <sixofour> and it still hasn't mextracted it
[01:59] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  try the command line tools perhaps..
[02:00] <rolsworth> is there any good video editing software
[02:00] <packrat_mobile> so i dont really know where to go from here for this 3d noize.
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> !video
[02:00] <ryan___> rolsworth: Pitivi is looking decent, and kdenlive is pretty good
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> rolsworth:  theres a few video editing programs in the repos.. but i dont use any
[02:01] <Nitsuga> rolsworth, i personally like openshotr
[02:01] <Nitsuga> Openshot
[02:01] <packrat_mobile> the radeon driver should be able to do this stuff. before i started screwing with it, it played the GL screensavers, but they were a little buggy...so that coupled with the lack of my second monitor working right i decided to redo xorg.conf
[02:01] <rolsworth> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eHEAfNFJ0k
[02:01] <rolsworth> what software is that
[02:01] <waterfoul> i had my BIOS reset and i managed to get the fsck to say the file systems were clean but the boot process halts giving "init: networking main process (###) terminated with status 1" even when booting into recovery mode. The Recovery mode boot process also gives "init: udevtrigger main process (###) terminated with status 1", "init: udevtrigger post-stop process (###) terminated with status 1", and "init: udevmonitor main process (###) killed by TERM signal
[02:01] <enkidu> archboxman: true, anyways, I never used distro management for NV cards (yes, I was usitg linux when noone heard about ubuntu)
[02:02] <adam> im trying to instll an HPphoto smart 7260 in ubuntu 9.1 the computer reads the printer and trys to install it using CUPS its seems the priter and trys to install it but it wont print a test page or anything
[02:02] <Dr_Willis> waterfoul:  its possible the filesystem is clean.. but some files were damaged.. ive never seen such error messages befor.
[02:02] <ryan___> rolsworth: THat is kdenlive
[02:03] <packrat_mobile> i even tried completely removing the radeon driver, and installing the package from ATI. that backfired like woah.
[02:03] <enkidu> Dr_Willis: I think in some cases init is failing, I have to start udev manually
[02:03] <Dr_Willis> packrat_mobile:  all these fix's you have tried - could be the cause of theissues.. I dont use ati any more. so cant really help much
[02:04] <enkidu> and it is hard to do, when you have dvorak kbd and map is not yet loaded
[02:04] <packrat_mobile> its not really a choice dr willis...ibm t41's got the ati hardwired in there...
[02:04] <packrat_mobile> ty tho
[02:04] <Dr_Willis> ive finally managed to get rid of allmy ati systems. :)
[02:04] <Scunizi> adam: looking on HP's site for the drivers leads me to this page.. good luck .. http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html
[02:04] <packrat_mobile> :-/
[02:05] <Dr_Willis> !info hplip
[02:05] <packrat_mobile> i havent put this on my main box yet...wanted to get the hang of it before i touched my main rig. u dig?
[02:05] <Dr_Willis> adam:  for some of my HP printers i had to install that package :)
[02:05] <adam> scunizi thansk i will try that
[02:05] <archboxman> enkidu: I have used linux since red hat back in 1997 when video wasn't well supported with xine... this is really the first year I have spent time using the cli...
[02:05] <Dr_Willis> adam:  for some of my HP printers i had to install that package (sudo apt-get install hplip)
[02:05] <sixofour> !joysticks
[02:06] <sixofour> where does one go to configure usb joysticks? [ps2 controllers]
[02:06] <packrat_mobile> i use redhat 9 when im at work...but that animal is completely diff...
[02:06] <archboxman> enkidu: back when repositories were all over servers and finding packages ment using freshmeat.net
[02:07] <jman888> Anybody know how to get netflix on ubuntu?
[02:07] <Pattrick> hello, who wants to help someone who is losing their mind?
[02:07] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  is it usb? or how plugged in?
[02:08] <sixofour> usb connector
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  i plug mine in and most gamepads just work in whatever game i  am using
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  or is it using a ps2 -> usb adaptor?
[02:08] <packrat_mobile> -_-
[02:08] <sixofour> ps2 - usb
[02:08] <archboxman> Pattrick: lol
[02:08] <Pattrick> seriously
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  plug it in - check dmesg output - see if its seen/mentioned at the end
[02:08] <sixofour> dmesg?
[02:09] <racarter> have the fonts changed in ubuntu 9.10?
[02:09] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  yes 'dmesg' command
[02:09] <racarter> the default fonts anyway. I'm liking it
[02:09] <racarter> a lot
[02:09] <sixofour> i have know idea what i am not looking at
[02:09] <sixofour> now*
[02:09] <Pattrick> I've just installed Wubi, at the reccomendation of a friend
[02:09] <jman888> Any way i can use netflix on ubuntu?
[02:09] <Pattrick> and am phreaking out
[02:09] <madjoe> How can I change login screen in Ubuntu 9.10?
[02:10] <packrat_mobile> whats a wubi?
[02:10] <archboxman> !wubi
[02:10] <Pattrick> http://wubi-installer.org/
[02:10] <Nitsuga> packrat_mobile, the Windows UBuntu INstaller
[02:10] <Pattrick> oh, nvm
[02:10] <packrat_mobile> ooooo...yeah....someone told me about that...
[02:10] <madjoe> I'm using wubi,,, packrat_mobile: Wubi is an officially supported Ubuntu installer for Windows users that can bring you to the Linux world with a single click. Wubi allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu as any other Windows application, in a simple and safe way.
[02:11] <Nitsuga> Pattrick, and WHY are you freaking out?
[02:11] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  when you pkug in hardware and stuff. the dmesg command at the end. mentions the devices and things it sees
[02:11] <Guest84694> uh. hi everyone?
[02:11] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  hage you even tried the thing in a game?
[02:11] <packrat_mobile> i wanted to get the "full" linux experience...so i killed windoz
[02:11] <Pattrick> well, the very first thing is that my screen cannot be set to the standard resolution
[02:11] <jman888> !netflix
[02:11] <Guest84694> uh, can someone tell me how to change my name?
[02:12] <Guest84694> (new to irc)
[02:12] <packrat_mobile> ./nick xxxx
[02:12] <Pattrick> type /nick <newname>
[02:12] <Dr_Willis> jman888:  perhaps google for 'netflix  linux'  its possible they got a client.. i would be suprised at that
[02:12] <tzanger> hmm what is the magic in getting ssh to use gpg-agent?
[02:12] <andrewa> nice
[02:12] <andrewa> thanks
[02:12] <madjoe> How to change my login screen in Ubuntu 9.10?
[02:12] <packrat_mobile> so no other ideas other then bailing on ATI hardware?
[02:12] <jman888> Dr_Willis, I will try google again but have been trying a while
[02:12] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  its not as themeable as in the old ubuntu. Thers somne tools to do minor tweaking and changes.. but not a lot.
[02:12] <blakkheim> packrat_mobile: ati is the enemy of your freedom
[02:13] <richard123> enkidu: I restarted but it did not help. This may seem stupid but I did something in a terminal earlier before the problem started todo with 'tty2' - is that a hint?
[02:13] <packrat_mobile>  /msg blakkheim care to explain that one? i like AMD...
[02:13] <Dr_Willis> jman888:  many of those services/tools only support windows and have such DRM featues that they cant work in linux/wine/virtualbox
[02:13] <richard123> enkidu;[I was trying to get help with a nvidia graphics card]
[02:13] <ryan___> packrat_mobile: They don't give out their drivers as open source =P
[02:13] <packrat_mobile> ooo
[02:14] <Dr_Willis>  its only recently that ATI and AMD merged.. :)
[02:14] <packrat_mobile> and nvidia does?
[02:14] <packrat_mobile> very true doc.
[02:14] <racarter> is pidgin now empathy?
[02:14] <jman888> Dr_Willis, Yeah i figure that, oh well guess i will just have to periodically boot to windows
[02:14] <madjoe> Dr_Willis:  I'm going nuts... I'm new with Ubuntu.. I just started 2 days ago... I use Compiz + Emerarld engine, but I don't have a clue how to install a GTK based screensaver... is it possible with a setup like mine?
[02:14] <blakkheim> racarter: they are two different projects entirely
[02:14] <Dr_Willis> Nvidia has had better linux support from what ive seen over the last few years.
[02:14] <Dr_Willis> ATI/AMd makes promises.. then they dont seem to follow through
[02:14] <andrewa> i dont like my ati x1250 card.
[02:14] <enkidu> richard123: try 'modprobe nvidia' ?
[02:15] <Pattrick> so guys, any clue as to why my screen resolution cannot be selected?
[02:15] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  i wouldent worry about a screensaver.. and emerald is basicallyt a dead project...
[02:15] <racarter> blakkheim, why did ubuntu switch to empathy?
[02:15] <archboxman> Dr_Willis: ATI is catching up...
[02:15] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  theres the xscreensver packages if you want more screensavers
[02:15] <soreau> madjoe: I don't think there is such thing as a 'gtk based' screensaver. You probably just want to install something like xscreensaver
[02:15] <blakkheim> racarter: dunno
[02:15] <Dr_Willis> archboxman:  i hear that claim every so often.. but im not buying ati any time in the foreseeable futre
[02:15] <richard123> enkidu: FATAL: Module nvidia not found
[02:15] <racarter> to be honest, empathy doesn't seem much different than pidgin
[02:16] <blakkheim> racarter: bad choice imo, but i don't use ubuntu so it doesn't affect me
[02:16] <Pattrick> hey, fixed it, I think
[02:16] <packrat_mobile> so why would something like gears work...but not gl matrix...even the compiz stuff is working much better now.
[02:16] <andrewa> so, ya, i recently switched from vista, to ubuntu, and am kinda confused on some things
[02:16] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: I just found one that is cool, made all steps to install it, but it won't show up... instead Ubuntu shows the default one... even if I change "default" to "nsa"
[02:16] <adam> i have installed the HPLip how do i get itto install the printer
[02:16] <racarter> sorry to repeat but, did ubuntu do something different with fonts in 9.10?
[02:16] <racarter> it looks much improved to me, but I'm not sure if it is something I did or if I'm just crazy
[02:16] <soreau> packrat_mobile: gl matrix?
[02:16] <skraps> anyone had problems with apache not running php scripts but spitting them out for download?
[02:16] <enkidu> richard123: ok, so automagic installer didn helped
[02:17] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  its possible its a 'xscreensaver' screensaver not a gnome screensaver.. Theres been fighting over the last few years over how to 'properly' do screensavers
[02:17] <packrat_mobile> soreau: the screensaver GLMatrix.
[02:17] <enkidu> !nvidia
[02:17] <richard123> enkidu: sorry - please explain?
[02:17] <racarter> is ubuntu using truetype fonts by default now?
[02:17] <soreau> packrat_mobile: What is not working about it?
[02:17] <madjoe> soreau + Dr_Willis: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/NSA++GNOME+Lock+Screen?content=89014
[02:17] <archboxman> Dr_Willis: Hey well everyone has there opnion, gamers fight about which is better for games ati and nvidia and it really boils down to who supports the card or what game writes it for that card
[02:17] <Dr_Willis> racarter:  yes. should be enabled.
[02:17] <Nitsuga> racarter, always used OpenType
[02:17] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: I've made all steps described.. no luck.
[02:17] <Pattrick> okay, kinda fixed it
[02:17] <Nitsuga> (which is way better than TrueType)
[02:18] <racarter> well, whatever is going on I think the fonts looks great in 9.10
[02:18] <Pattrick> now, theres no easy way for me to bring my 45g music collection to ubuntu from Vista, is there?
[02:18] <racarter> wish I knew what exactly changed...
[02:18] <packrat_mobile> Soreau: it engages but nothing shows up on the screen.
[02:18] <Aug> Hi all
[02:18] <Nitsuga> racarter, maybe they changed the default antialias settings
[02:18] <soreau> madjoe: It even gives you instruction on how to install that..
[02:18] <jimi_> Question, why does gdialog --title 'I love' --msgbox "Anthony & Joseph" 5 20 output "all updates complete" but if I remove the & and type 'and' it works ?
[02:18] <Nitsuga> there are in the appareance properties
[02:18] <packrat_mobile> soreau: i checked the bug reports but thats not what is happening with mine.
[02:18] <soreau> packrat_mobile: That's strange..
[02:18] <madjoe> soreau: I know.. I did all the steps with no luck
[02:19] <madjoe> soreau: I did all the steps with no "human" errors
[02:19] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  could be its out of date with changes in the screensaver.. it seems to be a THEME for a screensaver..
[02:19] <richard123> enkidu: I have an instruction to run nvidia-xconfig as root - what should I do?
[02:19] <blakkheim> jimi_: you might want to learn some bash basics
[02:19] <Nitsuga> jimi_, bash is substituting the ampersand. Just use '' instead of ""
[02:19] <packrat_mobile> soreau: quite. and i started over and worked through that little tutorial thing. and got to where i am now, after trying several different approaches.
[02:19] <enkidu> richard123: it will change nothing
[02:19] <jimi_> Nitsuga, what is it substituting the text from?
[02:19] <adam> thanks
[02:20] <richard123> enkidu: what do you suggest please?
[02:20] <enkidu> richard123: ls /usr/src/linux-`uname -r`
[02:20] <jimi_> Nitsuga, changing to single quotes didn't make a difference
[02:20] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: ok, since I've downloaded two screensavers, can you suggest some other page to change my ubuntu installation except that page?
[02:20] <Nitsuga> jimi_, the & is for backgrounding processes
[02:20] <soreau> madjoe: I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work, thoguh I haven't tried it
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  change what aspect?
[02:20] <soreau> packrat_mobile: Which driver do you use?
[02:20] <Nitsuga> jimi_, try using zenity instead of gdialog
[02:20] <richard123> enkidu: ls: cannot access /usr/src/linux-2.6.31-16-server: No such file or directory
[02:20] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: layout.. theme, icons, login screen etc.
[02:20] <packrat_mobile> soreau: "radeon"
[02:21] <packrat_mobile> soreau: the open source variety.
[02:21] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  thers 10000's of themes out there and theme parts.  and tools to allow easy downloading of them  gnome-art, gnome-artng and others.
[02:21] <racarter> I am IM'ing myself side by side in empathy and pidgin and I cannot figure out what the difference is...
[02:21] <madjoe> soreau: can you try it if you have ubuntu 9.10, please?
[02:21] <enkidu> richard123: apt-get install linux-headers
[02:21] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  login screen -> play with the files in xsplash  if you want or check out the gdm2 config tools that exist. (not many iof them)
[02:21] <Pattrick> okay guys
[02:21] <racarter> what is this growl-like thing happening in ubuntu?
[02:21] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: so there's nothing wrong with that link.. you can recommend it?
[02:21] <Pattrick> I kinda like this
[02:21] <racarter> i like it
[02:21] <Pattrick> but
[02:21] <KiRiLoS> I gave a static ip to my system by changing /etc/network/interfaces.Everything works great but knetworkmanager shows that i'm not connected and connection name changed
[02:22] <racarter> is it growl by any chance?
[02:22] <Pattrick> how can I get my stuff from Vista over here to Ubuntu?
[02:22] <Pattrick> I've got 45gigs of music
[02:22] <soreau> packrat_mobile: I use the same one and it worksforme here on my gentoo installation..
[02:22] <trism> racarter: it is notify-osd
[02:22] <enkidu> KiRiLoS: knetworkmanager is buggy
[02:22] <archboxman> Pattrick: burn to dvd or use external means to transfer
[02:22] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  what link? that screensaver theme link? its just  gnome-look.org - I rarely use the site. I use tools that GET files from the site or from the gnomeart sites
[02:22] <enkidu> brb, need to check sth
[02:22] <KiRiLoS> enkidu, you think that's the case?
[02:22] <racarter> looking like empathy is the only thing that works with this notify-osd
[02:22] <racarter> looks like i'll be using empathy
[02:22] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: gnome-look.org
[02:22] <richard123> enkidu: it returned a list, OK, next step?
[02:23] <Nitsuga> Pattrick, you can acces to it directly
[02:23] <soreau> madjoe: I can't try it right now, but maybe later
[02:23] <racarter> trism: do you know how to configure notify-osd? it opens at the top of my screen which i don't want
[02:23] <trism> racarter: pidgin works too, as to many other apps
[02:23] <archboxman> Pattrick: same computer or differnet computer???
[02:23] <madjoe> soreau: thanx
[02:23] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  its just a collection  of stuff people submit. Thers dozens of theme ppa repos and themes in the default package listings you can also use
[02:23] <skraps> when i try to run my php script by browsing to the apacheserver it only lets me download instead of view the file in the browser
[02:23] <racarter> oh dear, then maybe back to pidgin for me?
[02:23] <enkidu> richard123: sorry, I misstyped
[02:23] <hiexpo> helllo all
[02:23] <Pattrick> archboxman
[02:23] <trism> racarter: it is not configurable unfortunately, without editing the source
[02:23] <Pattrick> same computer
[02:23] <enkidu> richard123: apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[02:23] <racarter> trism: that is unfortunate
[02:23] <Pattrick> and I hate to be a bother
[02:23] <trism> racarter: hopefully they will add configuration options in the future
[02:23] <Pattrick> but I can't notice when someone is talkign to me
[02:23] <Pattrick> since I'm not on mIRC
[02:23] <racarter> trism: hopefully =)
[02:24] <Pattrick> so could you PM me if you're wanting to halp?
[02:24] <Pattrick> I'm trying not to kill myself elsewhere in Ubuntu
[02:24] <enkidu> brb, I have to check sth
[02:24] <tzanger> hmm
[02:24] <archboxman> Pattrick: Places> computer find the drive and use root login to enter drive...
[02:24] <Pattrick> archboxman
[02:24] <Pattrick> now in English?
[02:24] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: what would you suggest as a replacement to emerald? GTK?
[02:24] <tzanger> I'd like to add the dontzap parameter to xorg.conf, but 9.10 doesn't have an xorg.conf... how does one go about doing this?
[02:25] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  i just use compiz and the gnome window decorations
[02:25] <richard123> enkidu: if user name is taraduffy: is correct line: apt-get install linux-headers-taraduffy-r  ?
[02:25] <Nitsuga> Pattrick, go to places, click computer, find your Vista partitoin, double click it and type your passwd
[02:25] <archboxman> Pattrick: It is a partition that is already on the computer just have to access it
[02:25] <Nitsuga> *partition
[02:25] <hiexpo> i think thgat was pretty clearly spoken in english
[02:25] <Pattrick> My vista partition
[02:25] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  thers only 3 decorators one could use.. and emerald is dieing off.. so that leaves KDE's and the Gnome/gtks decorators
[02:25] <archboxman> Pattrick: yes your vista partition
[02:25] <morphix> emerald dieing off?
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> !emerald
[02:26] <morphix> as per what evidence?
[02:26] <optimad> Hey guys, how can i mount my raid 0 harddrives in ubuntu live cd mode???
[02:26] <Pattrick> I see 250 GB Hard Disk: Recovery / CD/DVD Drive / Generic Multi-Card / Palm Pre / Filesystem
[02:26] <hiexpo> archboxman, - will you hold my hand  lol
[02:26] <morphix> its still used mostly where compiz is used.
[02:26] <richard123> enkidu: this started after i think I activated tty2 in a terminal
[02:26] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: if I'd like to make my windows transparent (change the opacity), what should I do?
[02:26] <archboxman> Pattrick: my windows xp partition is in there I just don't use xp anymore...
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  compiz can do that
[02:27] <Dr_Willis> last i checked the Emerald theme repos were down..  i havent tried it lately. Gave up on emerald.
[02:27] <Pattrick> There is no icon in my Computer folder named Vista Partition, though
[02:27] <Pattrick> would it be because I'm on wubi?
[02:27] <Dr_Willis> morphix:  im not sure that emerald can be used with anything OTHER then compiz. :)
[02:27] <od3n_> how do you delete stuff from a thumb drive
[02:27] <Nitsuga> Pattrick, ohh you are in wubi
[02:27] <soreau> Dr_Willis: Hint: /msg FusioBot emerald-themes
[02:27] <Pattrick> is that why?
[02:28] <hiexpo> omg
[02:28] <Dr_Willis> od3n_:  i normally use the file manager, delete - then  empty trash
[02:28] <Nitsuga> go to Filesystem -> host
[02:28] <od3n_> there is a trash folder that never seems to empty
[02:28] <racarter> what is the correct way to install flash on ubuntu?
[02:28] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: too bad.. I just found one cool theme (crystal) with Emerald... I don't want to let it go that easily :) lol
[02:28] <racarter> i don't seem to have it by default
[02:28] <rolsworth> kdenlive crashes a lot
[02:28] <Dr_Willis> od3n_:  in theory its supposed to ask to empty the trash on unmount
[02:28] <Nitsuga> Pattrick, go to filesystem -> host
[02:28] <funkycat90210> crap i just did rm -rf ~/.gnote, how do i undo this?
[02:28] <Pattrick> Nitsuga <3
[02:28] <Nitsuga> funkycat90210, you can't
[02:28] <Dr_Willis> racarter:  i install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package and it pulls in flash and some fonts and other stuff
[02:28] <Dr_Willis> !flash | racarter
[02:28] <funkycat90210> Nitsuga, uhg
[02:28] <hiexpo> Dr_Willis, it does
[02:29] <od3n_> yeah ist not doing that
[02:29] <Dr_Willis> The 'clean trash on unmount' is a relatively new feature. :)
[02:29] <Nitsuga> funkycat90210, next time be careful with the -r flag
[02:29] <Dr_Willis> od3n_:  wht ubuntu version you using?
[02:29] <od3n_> 910
[02:29] <optimad> Hey guys, how can i mount my raid 0 harddrives in ubuntu live cd mode???
[02:29] <racarter> i can't wait till flash goes away
[02:29] <Nitsuga> funkycat90210, I avoid most of my misdelets adding in /etc/bashrc an alias to rm -I (add at the end alias rm=rm -I
[02:30] <Nitsuga> that way it will ask you befor deleting more than 3 files
[02:30] <racarter> if they figure out a format for HTML 5 videos hopefully flash is over...
[02:30] <racarter> maybe?
[02:30] <Nitsuga> Pattrick, in linux there is a magic think called symlinks
[02:30] <Nitsuga> they're like window's shortcuts
[02:30] <richard123> can anyone help me disable/stop tty2 - I think it is stopping my nvidia graphics card?
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> racarter:  i thinkright now its a matter of figureing out how to put ADs and other annoyances in html5 videos.. :)
[02:30] <funkycat90210> Nitsuga, still woulda happened, i thought i was on the right machine
[02:31] <Nitsuga> only that, to any application, it is the destination folder
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> racarter:  youtube has limited html5 support now :) its in testing
[02:31] <od3n_> yeah is acting all weird
[02:31] <Nitsuga> richard123, sudo stop tty2
[02:31] <Nitsuga> Pattrick, with symlinks you can link your Vista MUsic folder to the music folder in your Ubuntu's home
[02:31] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: yes, Compiz has a feature to select certain (all) windows to make them transparent... cool!
[02:32] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  and 10000+ other useless features as well
[02:32] <Nitsuga> Pattrick, and when you go to home -> music you'll se your music
[02:32] <richard123> nitsuuga: can you help me work out why the nvidia card since then does not work?
[02:32] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: since I'm a brand new n00b at this, I'll just try them all! :)
[02:32] <Nitsuga> richard123, did you install the restricted driver?
[02:33] <optimad> Hey guys, how can i mount my raid 0 harddrives in ubuntu live cd mode???
[02:33] <richard123> nitsuga: I am not a techie - please explain?
[02:33] <richard123> Nitsuga: I did install something.
[02:34] <Nitsuga> richard123, go to System -> administration -> hardware drivers
[02:34] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: hypothetically - if I don't have issues with my setup: Compiz + Emerald, would you advise me to get rid of Emerald anyway?
[02:35] <richard123> Nitsuga: I follow, will report in a minute. . .thanks
[02:35] <Nitsuga> richard123, is "nvidia" in that list?
[02:35] <git__> hi
[02:35] <Nitsuga> if it is, just choose the lastest version (I think that 186) and activate it
[02:35] <richard123> nitsuga: yes, but not activated: I am downloading: it somehow must have got uninstalled!
[02:36] <Nitsuga> richard123, it's not activated by default
[02:36] <git__> while building a .deb package using command: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
[02:36] <git__> how do I recover from a half finish compilation?
[02:36] <richard123> Nitsuga: I had previously activated it, but then I installed something - I think tty2 - and then the problem started.
[02:36] <flaco_> hi all..... my cron jobs are not running... my username is in /etc/cron.allow.... I'm missing something?
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  if it works.. use what you want. i wouldent spend to much time learning emerald or fighting it. Im not even sure if its in the next release or not
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  i perfer the gnome-gtk/metacity window decorations so i dont use emerald - i rarely use compiz
[02:40] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: good point... but what's there to learn?
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  make your own emerald themes if you want. Ther used to be a feature in emerald where it had a repo of dozens of themes.. but its gone. Now you have to look/make your own
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> Emerald is still in the next release. :) it seems.
[02:41] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: yaaay! :) hehe
[02:41] <hiexpo> Dr_Willis, do you like emerald over compiz?
[02:42] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: ok, but other than making my own theme.. there shouldn't be anything else that should force me to uninstall emerald.. the main reason is I won't be able to use it in Ubuntu 9.30, let's say... :) isn't it?
[02:43] <olabaz> hey, I made a hello world program in cpp and I have the compiled file, how do I run it from the terminal?
[02:43] <Nitsuga> madoje, The year donesn't have 30 months :P
[02:44] <hiexpo> lol
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> hiexpo:  emerald works WITH compiz. its not one or the other.
[02:44] <madjoe> Nitsuga: it does on MY planet! :)
[02:44] <madjoe> lol
[02:44] <Nitsuga> olabaz, make it executable (chmod +x file) and run it with ./file
[02:44] <Nitsuga> lol
[02:44] <hiexpo> ya thats what i thought i used to be just emerald
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  its possible ther may be other issues or discovered security flaws with emerald.. but if you want it - use it
[02:45] <Ken222> hey guys.. I'm having an issue with installing Ubuntu on my macbook .. the disc freezes and just stops running/spinning as soon as I press an option
[02:45] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: thanks.. I got it...
[02:45] <olabaz> Nitsuga, ah ok, thanks alot
[02:45] <iceD[R]> Good night for all!
[02:45] <Dr_Willis> Compiz can use one of 3 differnt 'window decorators' (last i checked)   = Emerald, the gtk one, or the kde one.
[02:45] <hiexpo> yep
[02:46] <iceD[R]> I have a poblem, my clock not show this weather! Tell me what is wrong?
[02:46] <Nitsuga> Dr_Willis, or better use no window decorator. Anyway who wants a useless "close" button?
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> Nitsuga:  ben there.. did that.

[02:52] <chetnick> maverick_: oh, yeah thats right. Thanks.
[02:53] <ssmy> bigtom21485: maybe #wine or somewhere else could help more.
[02:53] <Nitsuga> taraduffy_, ohh that's much better
[02:53] <jesse2> Hello.  I just re-installed ubuntu 9.10.  When I booted into the system, I chose to install the Nvidia driver.  The nvidia driver worked fine on this computer in a previous installation, but now when i reboot it gives me an error message and has me run in "low graphics" mode
[02:54] <jesse2> is there a way i can re run the nvidia driver installation?
[02:54] <taraduffy_> Nitsuga: in Volume Prefs. No input device is listed?
[02:54] <ssmy> jesse2: are you in a gui? it's system > administration -> Hardware drivers
[02:54] <maverick_> can someone help me with this, http://paste.ubuntu.com/381317/ .. this happened after fsck, is it curable or do i have to reinstall?

[03:00] <Ken222> mmm.
[03:01] <Ken222> Maybe I should try the Ubuntu 8.4 LTS and just upgrade from there?
[03:01] <taraduffy_> sorry!
[03:01] <Ken222> I was thinking that might've been the problem too, but.
[03:01] <DarkBen> 8.04
[03:01] <trism> enkidu: I have no idea
[03:01] <ssmy> Ken222: no, just re-burn the disk.

[03:03] <MK13> how can i configure CUPS to share a printer to the network from the command line? the community howto's only deal w/ the GUI approach
[03:03] <packrat_mobile> gah i've searched through almost any post on the ubuntu forums about this ati noize...i cant figure out what else to do.

[03:04] <ssmy> qiyong: that opens brasero. or, right-click the ISO and select write to disk.
[03:04] <qiyong> sshc, is k3b ok?
[03:04] <Nitsuga> taraduffy_, try opening /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf as root (alt-f2 -> gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf ) add at the end the line options snd-pcsp index=-2"
[03:04] <madjoe> Roasted: I'm just reading this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[03:04] <Nitsuga> "options snd-pcsp index=-2""

[03:06] <qiyong> ssmit now i have k3b installed in the menu
[03:06] <gdiz> hey everyone, I am looking at for all intensive purposes, creating an ubuntu server to run over the internet.  Right now, and if this is wrong, forgive my ignorance, but it is hiding a little bit from the internet due to my router.  I have it open to vnc, smb, CUPS, ssh, there's a daap share, and MPD is on there.  Is there anything I should do or should watch out for in order to make sure my computer is secure?
[03:06] <ssmit> qiyong, tag ssmy
[03:06] <qiyong> ssmy,  the desktop is now lxde.  now i have k3b installed in the menu
[03:06] <ssmy> qiyong: k3b should have an option to burn an iso somewhere
[03:06] <qiyong> ssmy, is it = to use k3b?
[03:06] <taraduffy_> Nitsuga: I ran that and found that line, now what?
[03:07] <ssmy> qiyong: try Tools > write ISO image
[03:07] <Nitsuga> taraduffy_, the line was already there?
[03:07] <qiyong> ssmy, what file manager to use to right-click ?
[03:07] <ssmy> qiyong: yeah, it's just a different program, same action.
[03:07] <ssmy> qiyong: i know Nautlius (default in gnome) can

[03:07] <packrat_mobile> is there a log file attched to 3d stuff at all guys?
[03:08] <qiyong> ssmit, don't tell me tools > menu item, tell my the app name so i can launch in console
[03:08] <flaco_> ryan___,  I think banshee?
[03:08] <qiyong> ssmy, , don't tell me tools > menu item, tell my the app name so i can launch in console
[03:08] <ryan___> flaco_: Banshee doesn't see my ipod =(
[03:08] <ssmy> qiyong: i meant inside k3b
[03:09] <ssmy> qiyong: you would probably be better off with someone who has used k3b.
[03:09] <qiyong> ssmy, so there's two apps, brasero and k3b, they both use wodim underline?
[03:09] <taraduffy_> Nitsuga: I pasted to a dialogue window with you.
[03:09] <flaco_> ryan___, weird... banshee does see my ipod
[03:10] <packrat_mobile> seriously...no 3d gurus in here?
[03:10] <Nitsuga> taraduffy_, i see
[03:10] <ryan___> flaco_: Could it have anything to do with my ipod being an older 5th gen?
[03:10] <ryan___> flaco_: Although Rythmbox sees it fine, but rythmbox won't do videos >.<
[03:10] <ssmy> qiyong: they are just different cd apps. i don't know much about anything except brasero.
[03:10] <packrat_mobile> i feel like its 2000 and im trying to get my viper2 to play nice with windows me here...
[03:11] <Nitsuga> taraduffy_, I've never had no issues with sound in Ubuntu, so I'm sorry that I'm out of ideas. You'll have to ask someone else :(

[03:21] <eremite> Stupid bot,.
[03:21] <ellmoe2000> lol
[03:21] <kelopez> no answer?
[03:22] <ellmoe2000> I enjoyed using Ubuntu for the first time this weekend, the only kicker is that I can't find a driver for my network printer.
[03:22] <^vivitar> zeso: Not a very strong password I'm afraid...
[03:22] <eremite> "Linux, it just woks." <-- LOL
[03:22] <eremite> Anyway, anyone got a fix for Freedomm crashing?
[03:23] <hamnegga> ellmoe2000 - Is it a DELL printer
[03:23] <kelopez> :(
[03:23] <ellmoe2000> nope.
[03:23] <ellmoe2000> sorry

[03:23] <eremite> This is my terminal output for Freedoom crashing.  If you know a fix, hook me up.  http://www.pastebin.com/m7d9d2d28
[03:23] <kelopez> ok
[03:23] <Antisoche> ellmoe2000, Congratulations on your new purchase of a doorstop
[03:23] <ellmoe2000> lol
[03:24] <hamnegga> Well most DELL are lexmarks, so that's what I was going to tell you, to see if it's an OEM brand and then check the actual manufacturer drivers availabel for linux
[03:24] <Nitsuga> ouch! lexmark
[03:24] <ellmoe2000> you are not kidding
[03:24] <kelopez> no answer to my reply? XD
[03:24] <ellmoe2000> at least i didn't purchase it, it was given to me.
[03:24] <Nitsuga> kelopez, I don't even know what is the signal 8 for
[03:24] <Antisoche> ellmoe2000, Got one myself, some time ago.  Still as good as the day I got it.
[03:24] <hamnegga> ellmoe2000 - try unplugging it and then replugging it back in - Usually that starts up a driver search, with a pretty big list of lexmark drivers available already
[03:24] <eremite> Does anyone know of any FPS for Linux that are not from the 1990s?
[03:24] <kelopez> Nitsuga: "Failed to process /etc/kernel/postinst.d at /var/lib/dpkg/info/unifiedkernel-<IP_ADDRESS>-kernel.postinst line 1191."
[03:25] <ellmoe2000> I did that
[03:25] <kelopez> and when I install a new package it still tries to configure
[03:25] <Nitsuga> kelopez, ohh i though that your where the freedoom guy
[03:25] <kelopez> lol Nitsuga ;)
[03:25] <ellmoe2000> it regonizes as the type of printer it is, but no driver
[03:25] <hamnegga> eremite - Is Nexuiz from the 90's
[03:25] <Nitsuga> kelopez, did you try to unsinstall it?
[03:26] <eremite> hamnegga, juding by its gameplay and graphics it might aswell be
[03:26] <ellmoe2000> I was really looking forward to totally switching over
[03:26] <kelopez> wait a minute
[03:26] <Antisoche> kelopez, sounds like you have a broken control script.  Those are no fun.
[03:26] <hamnegga> Yeah, well there aren't many games for linux and I haven't seen anything better in terms of FPS
[03:27] <kelopez> oh
[03:27] <kelopez> OK

[03:27] <Nitsuga> kelopez, btw, what is "unifiedkernel"?
[03:27] <kelopez> didn't know of that XD

[03:27] <kelopez> Nitsuga: google for "Longene"
[03:27] <Nitsuga> ok
[03:27] <kelopez> it tries to combine Windows and Linux kernels
[03:27] <kelopez> iirc
[03:28] <Antisoche> kelopez, try this:  as root, edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/unifiedkernel-<IP_ADDRESS>-kernel.postinst and fix the error
[03:28] <ellmoe2000> I do have to give it to you, ubuntu has some kick a@@ software
[03:28] <kelopez> don't worry

[03:50] <maxxist> I need a quick hand.  is there a terminal command I can use to redetect a network card under ubuntu server?  I just moved a VM under virtualbox from one machine to another.  the settings are the same for the network device under virtualbox.  but the ubuntu server vm wont detect the device.
[03:50] <cruncher> i'm on an eee pc 1000he using a wlan connection and I'm finding download speeds to be very slow and inconsistent. I have a feeling that its caused by inadequate drivers but im not sure. does anyone have any insight?
[03:51] <blakkheim> cruncher: try madwifi instead of ath5k/ath9k
[03:51] <scunizi> maxxist: what's the host system.. in the ubuntu server vm you could try ifdown eth0 then ifup eth0 .. if eth0 is the name of the card in the vm.
[03:52] <scunizi> maxxist: also sudo service networking restart
[03:52] <esteban> finch
[03:52] <racarter> gah! I can't change my pointer

[03:54] <ZykoticK9> racarter, in order for the pointer change to take effect I have to disable Compiz and just use Metacity
[03:54] <blakkheim> sslaccessrocks: because most servers don't use wifi..

[03:54] <maxxist> scunizi, same error.    "SIOCSIFADDR:  No such device"
[03:54] <sslaccessrocks> blankkheim: which package do I install to get it working?
[03:54] <scunizi> sslaccessrocks: wireless drivers are typically installed in server.. however I think if you install ubuntu-restricted-extras you'll have the atheros drivers..
[03:54] <blakkheim> sslaccessrocks: it's a kernel module, the server edition is tuned for server use, thats why they aren't there
[03:54] <racarter> ZykoticK9... i will die without compiz
[03:55] <racarter> literally I will drop dead
[03:55] <blakkheim> scunizi: URE has nothing to do with it
[03:55] <racarter> ZykoticK9, do you mean disable it and then reenable it?
[03:55] <maxxist> scunizi, i have double checked the settings for the VM under virtualbox.  everything is identical under both systems.
[03:55] <blakkheim> sslaccessrocks: you will have to compile and manually load the module
[03:55] <sslaccessrocks> scunizi: the server does not have internet, can i download an ubuntu-alternate of the same version and use that in the sources.list to download a package --which package?
[03:55] <ZykoticK9> racarter, once i re-enable compiz - pointer change disappears
[03:55] <blakkheim> sslaccessrocks: it's not a package
[03:56] <sslaccessrocks> blakkheim: can i use an ubuntu-alternate to download the new kernel then?
[03:56] <scunizi> blakkheim: do the question remains .. what package to install for wireless on server.. despite that it isn't typically done.
[03:56] <blakkheim> scunizi: i just answered that
[03:56] <blakkheim> sslaccessrocks: you might as well just install the regular edition instead of server if you're going to replace the kernel
[03:57] <sslaccessrocks> blakkheim: can't do that, not enough min specs on hardware
[03:57] <ZykoticK9> racarter, don't see anything in ccsm about pointer theme?  sorry man, best of luck.
[03:57] <blakkheim> sslaccessrocks: the mini iso then?
[03:57] <sslaccessrocks> blakkheim: no internet if it doesn't have drivers?
[03:57] <blakkheim> sslaccessrocks: you can't wire it just for the installation?
[03:57] <sslaccessrocks> blakkheim: negative
[03:58] <bugaloo> hi guys... does anybody know how can I configure the multimedia keys on sony vaio (ubuntu 9.10)?
[03:58] <blakkheim> sslaccessrocks: not much you can do then, sorry. i'd just get the source for the atheros driver and put it on a flash drive and put it on the other computer to compile it
[03:58] <pvc> skullface
[03:58] <cruncher> blakkheim: im unsure of how to go about installing mad wifi, do you know of any well written documentation?
[03:58] <albech> bugaloo, i gave up on that long ago.. seems like a pain
[03:58] <sslaccessrocks> blakkheim: can you link me?
[03:59] <blakkheim> cruncher: you download the tarball, compile it, load the modules
[03:59] <xfact> My multimedia keys are working fine on Ubuntu 9.10
[03:59] <bugaloo> albech, :(   I have a HP Pavilion and it works fine
[03:59] <blakkheim> cruncher & sslaccessrocks: i don't have any doc links for it
[03:59] <albech> bugaloo, there is some vaio kernel module that should enable them, but sony isnt very informative about their hardware, so writing stuff for it seems to be a pain
[03:59] <bugaloo> just a few keys doesn't, but on vaio nothing works, not even sound volume
[03:59] <bugaloo> albech, i see
[03:59] <scunizi> sslaccessrocks: I find that linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-server is what you need.. replace the module number with the current kernel or search apt-get, aptitude etc.. for it.. I found the info here.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=764025 .. check out packages.ubuntu.com from another machine to download
[03:59] <racarter> ZykoticK9, I think it's because KDE changes the default pointer somehow
[03:59] <User_> hello, is there an antivirus that I can install in ubuntu to check files for virus?
[03:59] <blakkheim> User_: clamav
[03:59] <albech> bugaloo, even light control doesnt work on mine :(
[04:00] <ZykoticK9> racarter, well I'm on Gnome and can't get it working either???
[04:00] <User_> how reliable is clamav?
[04:00] <bugaloo> albech, too bad hear this :(
[04:00] <sslaccessrocks> ok, thanks scunizi, i will use the ubuntu alt cd in the sources.list to get that file
[04:00] <racarter> did you ever install kubuntu-desktop?
[04:00] <blakkheim> User_: that's a matter of opinion
[04:00] <bugaloo> my mute works fine, lol
[04:00] <Tourist> Anyone used netbook remix yet?
[04:00] <blakkheim> !anyone | Tourist
[04:00] <albech> bugaloo, yet ubuntu is running fine and i can live without
[04:00] <ZykoticK9> racarter, is that to me?  I've never install kubuntu-desktop no.
[04:00] <tallyho> how to join my favourites in irc?
[04:00] <racarter> ZykoticK9, i'm probably mistaken, but I think I saw this problem start happening after I installed kubuntu-desktop
[04:00] <maxxist> Anyone know a way to redetect network devices from terminal?  google is not being my friend right now.
[04:00] <albech> bugaloo, have a look at this site: http://www.linux-laptop.net/sony.html
[04:01] <racarter> ZykoticK9, ok. then maybe I am wrong.
[04:01] <bugaloo> albech, sure... but I'm trying to make everything works because is a new laptop :)
[04:01] <scunizi> sslaccessrocks: looks like there is a meta package called linux-restricted-modules-server
[04:01] <bugaloo> albech, I tried this site, but there is no my model
[04:01] <bugaloo> :(
[04:01] <Tourist> Ok, then, for those who are or have used netbook remix is it worth the install?
[04:01] <pvc> skullface
[04:01] <racarter> in any case, does anyone know how to change what the default pointer is set to in gnome?
[04:01] <ZykoticK9> racarter, i do have the KDE libraries installed, but doubt it's a KDE issue -- think it's a compiz issue myself
[04:01] <sslaccessrocks> scunizi: things like that (linux-restricted-modules-server package) is why i use ubuntu :) thanks i'll give that a shot first
[04:02] <bugaloo> thanks anyway
[04:02] <scunizi> sslaccessrocks: as I remember that's how I solved it a couple years ago.
[04:02] <dsnyders> Hi all!  [ctrl][alt][backspace] isn't restarting xserver anymore.  What gives?
[04:02] <xfact> bugaloo: can you just tell me the model number of Sony Vio you are having?
[04:03] <d4n1> hey, sup guys, how do u use gzip
[04:03] <d4n1> ??
[04:03] <blakkheim> !dontzap | dsnyders
[04:03] <bugaloo> xfact, sure, it's a VGN-CS325J
[04:03] <blakkheim> d4n1: man gzip
[04:03] <d4n1> ive read the man, didn't help much
[04:03] <blakkheim> d4n1: it tells everything
[04:03] <xfact> bugaloo, Thanks, I wish I will get something helpful
[04:03] <DarkBen> dsnyders: go to System Preferences Keyboard Distribution Distribution Options to enable it
[04:04] <macman_>  got a brand new dell studio 17 inch .. i love it problem is my battery dies in about an hour ..all my power settings are fine .. wondering how i can fix this ?  ... one more thing .. i dualboot ubuntu and windows 7 .. when im in windows 7 i get 3 hours battery

[04:04] <bugaloo> xfact, thanks
[04:04] <macman_>  got a brand new dell studio 17 inch .. i love it problem is my battery dies in about an hour ..all my power settings are fine .. wondering how i can fix this ?  ... one more thing .. i dualboot ubuntu and windows 7 .. when im in windows 7 i get 3 hours battery
[04:04] <albech> bugaloo, hang on a sec.. i am checking something with the kernel module
[04:04] <blakkheim> !repeat | macman_
[04:04] <ZykoticK9> dsnyders, an easier way to get c-a-backspace is to: System / Preferences / Keyboard - click Layouts tab, click Options button near bottom - click + next to "Key sequence to kill the X server" - add check to "Control + Alt + Backspace
[04:05] <macman_> oh Snap
[04:05] <mutex_> Does ubuntu have a preferred way of producing clones of an existing system ?
[04:05] <macman_> sorry about that blakkheim
[04:05] <Tourist> Ok this has happened to me twice, halfway during the install of 9.10 on two different computers it gives me an IO error. I'm starting to get frustrated.. and it's not from using the same install cd or ISO.
[04:05] <mutex_> or a customized install tool even
[04:05] <blakkheim> !clone > mutex_
[04:06] <scunizi> Tourist: before hitting enter on the initial install screen hit F6 and turn off Acpi and try again..
[04:06] <dsnyders> DarkBen, ZykoticK9, I can't click on anything because my display is fouled up.  I need to restart x via keyboard.
[04:06] <mutex_> !automate
[04:06] <racarter> what am I supposed to use the $HOME/Templates directory for?
[04:06] <albech> bugaloo, is the sony_laptop module loaded? lsmod | grep "sony"
[04:06] <mutex_> !cloning
[04:06] <racarter> what kind of templates should I put there?
[04:06] <racarter> what templates are they talking about?
[04:06] <Tourist> scunizi: Will try that. Thank you
[04:06] <ZykoticK9> dsnyders, then use alt+sysrq+k < the new way
[04:06] <mutex_> suppose I should have private messaged that, sorry
[04:06] <bugaloo> albech, let me check
[04:07] <vr_mex> how can i excute a ruby script from the main menu app, i just cant figure out the command for it, my wxruby script is in /home/xyz/my_wxruby_script.rb, i have 755 permissions but it wont execute, please help
[04:07] <blakkheim> vr_mex: ruby /home/xyz/my_wxruby_script.rb
[04:07] <Shizzo> Anyone working for/worked for NCR?
[04:08] <d4n1> how can i decompress a zip file though the terminal?
[04:08] <ZykoticK9> d4n1, "unzip $file"
[04:08] <vr_mex> blakkheim: no luck !!!
[04:08] <dsnyders> ZykoticK9, alt+sysreq+k? Stand by...
[04:08] <blakkheim> vr_mex: does it work from a terminal?
[04:09] <bugaloo> albech, sorry my late
[04:09] <bugaloo> there is the sony_laptop module
[04:09] <d4n1> ok, but don't i have to install that
[04:09] <albech> bugaloo, ok
[04:09] <vr_mex> blakkheim: yes and if i do a double click from the ubuntu gnome desktop it launches fine, just the problem is from the command in the main menu app...
[04:09] <ZykoticK9> d4n1, just try typing "unzip" and it will tell you
[04:10] <d4n1> ZykoticK9, well my machine has it, my server doesn't
[04:10] <blakkheim> vr_mex: make a script that has that in it, put it in your $PATH (/usr/bin for example) then point the menu item to that script
[04:10] <xfact> bugaloo, Humm, your Laptop has many problem with Ubuntu! like here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=37469, I think batter you write your problems like this in Ubuntuforums
[04:10] <dsnyders> ZykoticK9, that key combo worked.  Thanks.  Why did they cange it from ctrl-alt-backspace?
[04:10] <alfattah> how to change karmic login screen, any idea?
[04:10] <ZykoticK9> dsnyders, just to keep people on there toes -- i have no idea
[04:11] <ZykoticK9> alfattah, right now that's very difficult
[04:11] <bugaloo> xfact, ok... it's not a big problem anyway, it's more like a fun thing to try
[04:11] <vr_mex> blakkheim: ok let me try that...
[04:11] <vr_mex> blakkheim: should i do a .sh script or a ruby script?
[04:11] <xfact> bugaloo, Have fun :P
[04:11] <blakkheim> vr_mex: it will be a bash script, the file extension doesn't really matter, but use .sh if you want to be organized
[04:12] <alfattah> ok then, thanks.
[04:12] <vr_mex> blakkheim: ok let me try that...
[04:12] <albech> bugaloo, maybe interesting reading: http://www.shallowsky.com/linux/vaiotricks.html
[04:12] <d4n1> ZykoticK9: thank u, now installing zip and unzip
[04:12] <Kavinorum> I have an issue with a new acer aspire netbook and ubuntu 9.10. For some reason there is a bug with the wireless that will cause kernel freezes and other problems. I have a log of the problem, where do I submit it to?
[04:12] <bugaloo> albech, nice one :) thanks
[04:12] <ZykoticK9> d4n1, glad to help
[04:12] <rww> ubottu: bug | Kavinorum
[04:12] <hamnegga> Anyone have any tweaks or info. that might improve arp poisoning attempts in ettercap?
[04:13] <d4n1> ZykoticK9: thanks, i was trying to use gzip, does that even work for this?
[04:13] <scunizi> Kavinorum: if you want others to look at it.. paste it in pastebin.com and provide a link here
[04:13] <ZykoticK9> d4n1, don't know
[04:13] <Kavinorum> kk
[04:14] <d4n1> ZykoticK9: ok, thanks though
[04:15] <darolu> there is no xorg.conf file anymore, any idea of where can I modify whatever it uses now?
[04:16] <ZykoticK9> darolu, you can generate one -- do you have nvidia?
[04:16] <scunizi> darolu: xrandr controls video
[04:16] <darolu> No, I have ATI
[04:16] <darolu> ZykoticK9: it is an old ATI card too, so I can't install propietary driver either
[04:16] <funkycat90210> can I install a non-gnu java via apt-get?
[04:17] <ZykoticK9> darolu, this "should" work http://paste.ubuntu.com/381354/
[04:17] <darolu> scunizi: xrandr has a xorg.conf substitute file?
[04:17] <Kavinorum> http://pastebin.com/m2f1672bb <-- log of wireless error
[04:18] <Kavinorum> hopefully someone here can interpret that :D
[04:19] <darolu> ZykoticK9: thanks, I'll try it.
[04:19] <scunizi> darolu: xrandr will dynamically generate the appropriate settings.. the biggest question is weather or not ATI has depreciated your card in their latest drivers that are compatible with the latest X.org.. check their site first before you spinn your wheels.. look for the driver and if they mention an older driver to use they will typically say it's not compatible with the current Xorg
[04:20] <darolu> scunizi: already checked, my card is no longer supported in Linux, the "legacy driver" doesn't work with my current kernel (2.6.31)
[04:20] <scunizi> darolu: then you're stuck.. time to get a new card that is compatible or wait for the ATI drivers to catch up
[04:23] <sslaccessrocks> alfattah: do you mean change the karmic login screen to a ttyl like in alt+ctrl+F1?
[04:24] <sslaccessrocks> scunizi: after mounting the ubuntu alt iso and apt-cdrom for detection (checked the sources.list to ensure), i cannot find a package with apt-cache search restricted that matches either the meta or full package
[04:27] <scunizi> sslaccessrocks: you might have to use a different computer and look in packages.ubuntu.com.. download and put it on a usb stick or something to transfer it.
[04:27] <sslaccessrocks> scunizi: doing that right now
[04:28] <^sn00per^> hello
[04:28] <sslaccessrocks> scunizi: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=linux-restricted-modules-server&searchon=names&suite=lucid&section=all (no results)
[04:28] <^sn00per^> anyone alive in here ?
[04:28] <vr_mex> blakkheim: no luck !!!
[04:28] <scunizi> sslaccessrocks: I was also using my 8.04 install to search for the package.. might be different for the latest release.
[04:29] <^sn00per^> i have a question  how do i set up a boot floppy to load usb drivers to boot into external hard drive that has ubuntu already installed ?
[04:29] <vr_mex> blakkheim: no luck !!!, I just get a flash from the terminal
[04:29] <sslaccessrocks> ^sn00per^: there is a tutorial on https://www.auburn.edu/~farvept/ under floppy2usb (software section)
[04:30] <vr_mex> blakkheim: tried adding a & at the end and same thing
[04:30] <Shazam> snort doesn't start when Ubuntu is loading up. I have to go in and manually "sudo /etc/init.d/snort start" each time. What would cause it to fail to load when the system is booting?
[04:30] <^sn00per^> thank you sslaccessrocks  was searching for that
[04:30] <ouyes> when you are in xfce , how to use display protection ?
[04:32] <ouyes> screen saver?
[04:36] <Monona> I get crazy xruns using jack, even before I load any programs.  I'm on a dual core 3GHz Pentium D, running the real time kernel on Hardy.  I don't think it's jack settings, since I've got it set at 1024 frames, with 45ms latency.  I've been posting on the forum, but I'm kind of running into a wall.  How can I check if it's hardware issues?  Or just generally, what should I be looking for to troubleshoot?
[04:36] <tweiseman> hi i need help debugging my wifi card driver?
[04:40] <leohartx> after removing ATI graphics card, and use Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 10), i can't login, it says (EE) no devices detected. what should i do  ?
[04:41] <tweiseman> hi i need help debugging my wifi card driver
[04:42] <[deXter]> Hi all, in the Live USB system, does the casper-rw file have to be ext2 only or would any other fs (like ext4) would do ?
[04:42] <scunizi> leohartx: boot into the recovery kernel and you'll see a menu. there's an option to reset the video defaults.. or rediscover
[04:45] <dsnyders> ZykoticK9, I found out why they changed the xserver restart keyboard shortcut.
[04:46] <dsnyders> If you have the handicapped accessibility functions active and you press Ctrl and then release it, and a bit later, you press Alt-Bksp (the shortcut to delete a whole word), then Boom! Bye-bye X-session
[04:47] <ZykoticK9> dsnyders, makes sense.  Thanks for the info :)
[04:49] <dsnyders> ZykoticK9, Yeah, it does make sense.  Now, to memorize the new shortcut.  Alt-sysreq-k,  Alt-sysreq-k, Alt-sysreq-k...
[04:49] <leohartx> scunizi: there's no menu item you mentioned
[04:51] <jumbers> If I backup /, will dropping that onto a freshly formatted partition then function exactly as if it weren't touched?
[04:51] <alankila> jumbers: pretty much, provided you can whip up bootloader for it too
[04:51] <dsnyders> jumbers, It should, if you mount the new partition as /
[04:56] <HeadCreeps> Greetings
[04:56] <i3inary> hello
[04:58] <i3inary> can someone help me figure out how to move an ubuntu 9.10 installation to a virtual machine?  basically it would be like restoring a configuration to new hardware.  can someone help point me in the right direction?
[04:59] <HeadCreeps> the right direction would be south of my pants button
[04:59] <i3inary> you have a button on your foot?
[05:00] <INarsty> lol
[05:00] <i3inary> could you press it and restore my backup for me then...?
[05:00] <HeadCreeps> do you get it, because you decided that you couldnt say anything funny in return, you would take it to the most dramatic extreme and say my foot.
[05:00] <HeadCreeps> HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
[05:00] <HeadCreeps> when I OBVIOUSLY meant, my penis.
[05:00] <HeadCreeps> and no
[05:01] <seanbrystone> o.O
[05:01] <HeadCreeps> stagnant water man
[05:01] <INarsty> omg
[05:01] <ZykoticK9> HeadCreeps, do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[05:01] <HeadCreeps> yes Redman
[05:01] <B|aSS> hes penis has the size of a button
[05:01] <HeadCreeps> I do
[05:01] <HeadCreeps> no its a tad bigger than a button
 the right direction would be south of my pants button
[05:02] <i3inary> so is this the place for dick and fart jokes?
[05:02] <chetnick> i3inary: install Ubuntu on VM, then extract the backup there.
[05:02] <HeadCreeps> do you feel e-portant because your name is in red, just wondering
 when I OBVIOUSLY meant, my penis.
[05:02] <ZykoticK9> i3inary, NO!
[05:02] <mrb427> for embedded applications is it better to use static or dynamic variables
[05:02] <i3inary> ZykoticK9, thank you just wondering.
[05:02] <gabriel> joining
[05:03] <i3inary> chetnick, ok i have the vm set up with ubuntu now...so i can just "sudo cp -R /backup/* /" and im done?
[05:04] <chetnick> i3inary: i would suggest doing that in single user mode.
[05:04] <chetnick> i3inary: yes that would be it, if its a complete backup.
[05:04] <chetnick> i3inary:
[05:04] <chetnick> i3inary: use sudo cp -ax /backup/* /
[05:05] <i3inary> chetnick, so i dont have to worry about excluding any files that would mess up the drivers on the new installation?
[05:05] <chetnick> i3inary: new installation would be pretty much overwriten with your backup.
[05:06] <chetnick> i3inary: but that is what you want? And by the way what drivers do you use on VM?
[05:06] <Guest7428> zac
[05:07] <i3inary> chetnick, right i understand that the new install is getting overwritten...im just wondering how it will boot if it gets a bunch of incompatible drivers in its configuration files
[05:07] <chetnick> i3inary: your new install is Virtual Machine?
[05:08] <i3inary> chetnick, correct but it has drivers they are just for simulated hardware no?
[05:08] <chetnick> i3inary: from my experience (VMWare) you have now worries about drivers when it comes to virtual machine.
[05:08] <chetnick> no worries*
[05:09] <chetnick> so you should be fine.
[05:09] <aah> anyone know of a way to get vino to give me logs of connection attempts and issues?  trying to diagnose a problem getting from home to work over vpn, and .. connection is established, but no windows locally
[05:09] <gabriel> just a ?  can i use linksys external WUSB54GSC with ubuntu 9.10?
[05:09] <i3inary> chetnick, alright. ok so you are saying if i boot a linux install and the configuration files are not compatible with the hardware it will just not use them?
[05:10] <chetnick> i3inary: what i'm saying is VM does not have hardware, drivers used in Ubuntu cannot be used on virtual machine.
[05:11] <chetnick> VM takes care of that. It's a virtual hardware only existent in VM
[05:11] <RPG_Master> Can I get kubuntu help here?
[05:11] <chetnick> RPG_Master: fire it up.
[05:12] <tristanbob> Anyone seeing 100% CPU when flash video playing?  I've searched the forums but only found old results.  This happens on firefox, chromium, and opera.
[05:12] <lane_> so ive got a question....is anyone good here with creating hotkeys/remapping keys??
[05:12] <bmatthew> tristanbob: get used to it
[05:12] <RPG_Master> I can't login to kubuntu! Every time it kicks me back to the login screen :(
[05:12] <chetnick> tristanbob: not a good sign, i dont have that issue.
[05:12] <SolarisBoy> ;@
[05:12] <RPG_Master> This was after my first update
[05:12] <tristanbob> bmatthew, this has only started in the past month for me.
[05:13] <bmatthew> tristanbob: oh, well that's something else then.  i just was going to mention that flash is an absolute piece of shit
[05:13] <chetnick> RPG_Master: i had that issue with kdm 4.3, i resolved it by installing gdm, and using that to login.
[05:13] <tristanbob> chetnick, thanks for the feedback.
[05:13] <tristanbob> bmatthew, I wanted to find out if it is a known bug, with a solution.
[05:13] <RPG_Master> chetnick: :P That could work.
[05:13] <i3inary> chetnick, ok im giving it a try ill just revert to the snapshot if it doesnt work...which is the main reason i am moving the physical box to the virtual machine in the first place
[05:13] <chetnick> RPG_Master: this issue was on gentoo, and i had kde and gentoo installed on system.
[05:13] <RPG_Master> chetnick: Any other solutions?
