[21:33] <LjL> Al_nz_lapt: or "who" or "w"
[21:33] <oskar-> zigibagido, another solution is to to a recursive "chmod g+X+r+w public" all N minutes by cron
[21:34] <Al_nz_lapt> gartral: users just listed my user name about 3 times
[21:34] <uuv> Hey. I'm having problems installing ubuntu 9.04 I'd like to have a ntfs-drive, but when i try to choose the file system, ntfs won't show up. What's the matter?
[21:34] <oskar-> zigibagido, recursive would be "chmod -R g+X+r+w public"  ;-)
[21:34] <zigibagido> oskar: how do i do that (the n mintues)
[21:34] <Al_nz_lapt> it didnt say which tty session
[21:34] <Al_nz_lapt> ahhh - who did it
[21:34] <jpds> Al_nz_lapt: w does.
[21:34] <edbian> uuv: Linux cannot run from ntfs (you don't really want to anyway)  The default for ubuntu is ext3
[21:34] <gartral> robinro: now hit control-P and make sure all you options are enabled, paying atention too make sure External Amplifier is OFF
[21:34] <iceroot> zigibagido: /x * * * * your-command   (x = n minutes)
[21:34] <iceroot> zigibagido: crontab -e
[21:34] <uuv> edbian: Yes, I know, but i'd like to make a NTFS drive for movies and such
[21:35] <edbian> uuv: As a data partition?
[21:35] <uuv> Yes
[21:35] <linny> uuv: i may be wrong but i think the root fs cant be ntfs you can mount ntfs drives after tho
[21:35] <Al_nz_lapt> so is there a way, if I am in a reomte terminal session to monitor a existing tty session?
[21:35] <ghostknife> How can I figure out from which repository a specific package is?
[21:35] <Al_nz_lapt> like if a lengthy process is running?
[21:35] <edbian> uuv: Unless you need windows to also read this drive I STRONGLY suggest you use ext3.  Are you sure you want ntfs?
[21:35] <iceroot> ghostknife: apt-cache show packetname
[21:35] <guja> how can I format USB stick as ext3 from Ubuntu? thank you.
[21:35] <Chessguy> when i tried to check list in update manager, it says that it couldn't download all repository indexes, any idea why?
[21:35] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> how do I install sound in Ubuntu 9.04?
[21:35] <iceroot> ghostknife: also  apt-cache policy packetname
[21:36] <LjL> Al_nz_lapt: an *existing* one i wouldn't know, you can plan in advance and use "screen", though
[21:36] <linny> Lukasz_Tarkowski: could you tell us what sound card you have plx
[21:36] <uuv> Well I don't think I'll be using dual boot and in case I someday will, i'll be able to format the drive again. So you recommend ext3 then?
[21:36] <robinro> gartral:  "cd capture", "mic apture", "IEC958" and "IEC958 Default PCM" are off, Mix is on, is this ok?
[21:36] <Al_nz_lapt> LjL: ahh yes, i have heard of that
[21:36] <edbian> uuv: Ok PM me :)
[21:36] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> hmm
[21:36] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> how do I check?
[21:36] <N1ke_> Still doesn't work
[21:36] <Al_nz_lapt> will it work with a terminal session, or is it a VNC type program?
[21:36] <gartral> robinro: turn on Default PCM
[21:37] <LjL> Al_nz_lapt: it's purely terminal
[21:37] <LjL> !screen > Al_nz_lapt    (Al_nz_lapt, see the private message from ubottu)
[21:37] <Al_nz_lapt> kk
[21:37] <indie> does anyone know how to install an icon theme not packaged as a .tar.gz,; but rather a .zip containing both .png and .ico files?
[21:37] <Al_nz_lapt> and how do you identify which window your in? like pts/0 or pts/1?
[21:37] <robinro> gartral: done, but no change
[21:37] <LosFrijoles1> i just got a blinky caps lock light and the computer froze on my acer aspire one w/ ubuntu 9.04...what does this mean generally?
[21:38] <gartral> robinro: do you have pulse installed?
[21:38] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> Here you go [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC660-VD Analog
[21:38] <spO> does us.archive.ubuntu.com usually have connection problems?
[21:38] <Chessguy> when i tried to check list in update manager, it says that it couldn't download all repository indexes
[21:38] <jpds> spO: No.
[21:38] <Orang3> shino: ctrl+alt+f1
[21:38] <indie> LosFrijoles: I've had the same issue, when I asked around, I got something akin to "we're working on it"
[21:39] <LosFrijoles1> indie: well thats ...encouraging
[21:39] <N1ke_> gartral: Still doesn't work
[21:39] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> linny: [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC660-VD Analog  Here is my soundcard
[21:39] <jpds> spO: What's wrong with it at your end? pastebin apt-get output please.
[21:39] <gartral> N1ke_: hmm.. laptop or desktop?
[21:40] <N1ke_> desktop
[21:40] <linny> Lukasz_Tarkowski  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[21:40] <Al_nz_lapt> to look at a existing terminal session cant I look at a command like "tail -f /dev/pts/0" ?
[21:40] <robinro> gartral: yes, it worked before with 8.10 and also after the upgrade. pavumeter shows normal volume level and if a change the volume in pavucontrol it works, but its still quite if everything is at max
[21:40] <indie> LosFrijoles: Ya...I noticed that my machine only does that when interfacing with certain devices (ie. my android phone in recovery mode)
[21:40] <linny> Lukasz_Tarkowski: if you have probs then come and ask :)
[21:41] <gartral> robinro: what applications have you tryed playing from?
[21:41] <gartral> N1ke_: is the card built into the mobo or is it a pci card?
[21:41] <robinro> gartral: rhythmbox, vlc, aplay from console
[21:42] <LosFrijoles1> indie: i was using httrack and left my comp on the couch for about 4 hours, so im going to guess either something overheated or the kernel didn't like my computer for a moment
[21:42] <ManDay> Hello guys, I wonder whether I can set IRC as a sort of "Desktop background"  - any idea?
[21:42] <N1ke_> gartral: Build-in
[21:42] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> ok
[21:43] <LosFrijoles1> ManDay: look up using xml files as backgrounds? i had an animated desktop background that used one to animate based on the time of day
[21:43] <linny> ManDay: you could use a terminal based irc client and then set your terminal as a desktop
[21:43] <ManDay> Hmmm... like irssi?
[21:43] <ManDay> How do you usually set a term as background in gnome?
[21:43] <linny> ManDay:  sure
[21:43] <indie> <LosFrijoles: Overheating shouldn't cause that, when the temp reaches 94C the computer just shuts down.
[21:44] <linny> ManDay: google it theres millions of tuts on that oti
[21:44] <ManDay> Stupid question: Is there a GUI'ed place in ubuntu to change the user passwd?
[21:44] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> linny: I got the Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop version
[21:44] <ManDay> thanks Lingus
[21:44] <ManDay> sorry, linny
[21:44] <gartral> N1ke_: not sure :\
[21:44] <N1ke_> Gah damit
[21:44] <Inc`> ManDay: System -> Preferences -> About Me -> Change Password
[21:44] <indie> <ManDay: Administration>Users and Groups?
[21:44] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> linny: doesn't exist sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[21:44] <ManDay> thanks Inc`
[21:45] <ManDay> Inc`, it crashes because I removed evolution
[21:45] <ManDay> thanks indie
[21:45] <N1ke_> gartral: I got a new error however,  When I try to install Adobe flash player, I get Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'
[21:45] <linny> Lukasz_Tarkowski: i see tbh i didnt realise it was old
[21:46] <gartral> N1ke_: thats because you have a 64 bit system, you should try installing through synaptic
[21:48] <Beatlesfan> hi
[21:48] <Beatlesfan> can anyone help me with a gnome remote desktop issue?
[21:48] <LosFrijoles1> beatlesfan: what is the problem
[21:48] <iceroot> !details | Beatlesfan
[21:49] <Beatlesfan> I have a PC running Ubuntu 9.04 at home and using vpnc and gnome-rdp, it was working fine the other day but now I'm getting a getaddrinfo error
[21:49] <Beatlesfan> using RDP to access work PC
[21:49] <file_file> how can i hide my email info from sky contact information?
[21:49] <Beatlesfan> and yes, I tried the IP address instead of the client PC name
[21:50] <iceroot> Beatlesfan: you can ping the adress?
[21:50] <Beatlesfan> when I try the IP address the remote desktop appears but all in blue with no login prompt
[21:50] <Beatlesfan> yes
[21:50] <robinro> gartral: thanks for your help so far; any other ideas what i could try to get a normal-volume sound?
[21:50] <Beatlesfan> I can ping the address and I can ping the VPN server address
[21:50] <Beatlesfan> and I can connect using VPN
[21:50] <Beatlesfan> VPNC rather
[21:50] <gartral> robinro: well.. what card do you have?
[21:51] <robinro> gartral: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
[21:51] <pratik_narain> any alternatives to glchess for 3d chess game
[21:52] <Pauluk1984> hi all... currently running a ubuntu remake on usb ...earlier it was recognising my wireless card no problem and picking up surrounding networks but now it only gives me the wired connection option, any suggestions how to remedy this?
[21:53] <tigron82> où je suis rendu?
[21:53] <Flinty> How would I get "emerald --replace" to run at login automatically ?
[21:53] <guntbert> !fr < tigron82
[21:53] <guntbert> !fr | tigron82
[21:54] <edbian> Flinty: Add it to "Start-Up Applications" :)
[21:54] <Beatlesfan> iceroot: any idea?
[21:54] <tigron82> thanks
[21:54] <Flinty> Ah thanks that's it. I spent a good 5 minutes looking for that
[21:55] <gartral> robinro: not *likely* but give this a shot sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base
[21:55] <ManDay> i got about a stupid question: How do I quit SSH? (not implicitly through closing all promts but explicitly - so screen remains running)
[21:55] <iceroot> Beatlesfan: sorry no
[21:55] <Flinty> I think you can use the screen program ManDay
[21:56] <spO> how do i make it so ubuntu doesn't automaticcally start desktop and starts console?
[21:56] <robinro> gartral: already installed
[21:56] <DouglasK> To quit an SSH session, try typing ~.
[21:56] <spO> douglask, why not type quit?
[21:56] <edbian> sp0 "sudo apt-get remove gdm"
[21:56] <DouglasK> sp0 cause he doesn't want to exit screen.
[21:57] <ManDay> Flinty, mind to explain?
[21:57] <guntbert> ManDay: you'll have to detach from your screen session (<ctrl>a d I think) first, then <ctrl>d
[21:57] <ManDay> guntbert, of course i could first detach but i dont want to
[21:57] <pratik_narain> any alternatives to glchess for 3d chess game
[21:57] <DouglasK> Alternatively, press Ctrl+A, d then exit as normal
[21:57] <ManDay> i just want to quit SSH by killing the connection
[21:57] <iceroot> spO: at the session manager (where you login with your password, you can choose what will start, gnome, kde, xfce4, shell, remote and so on
[21:57] <guntbert> ManDay: why not? where is the problem?
[21:57] <gbear14275> my install appears to be jacked up... apart from saving my home directory... is there any sort of tools which can help me ensure I don't lose any data during a reinstall?
[21:57] <DouglasK> the first option simply kills ssh, the second detaches the screen.
[21:57] <spO> edian, i don't want it removed, i simply want console to start instead of desktop
[21:58] <lightningseed> what about typing "exit"
[21:58] <ManDay> well its too many keystrokes to first detach screen and stuff
[21:58] <gbear14275> never done one in linux before... a little worried to be honest
[21:58] <lightningseed> that kept me in screen when I used sudo I five minutes ago
[21:58] <ManDay> i mean i could simply close the xterm in which SSH runs, but i want to keep the terminal window open
[21:58] <guntbert> !who | ManDay
[21:58] <edbian> ManDay: ctrl + c  ??
[21:59] <guntbert> ManDay: not that I know of such a possibility
[21:59] <gartral> robinro: all i found, sorry >.>
[21:59] <DouglasK> ManDay, two options: One, type ~. to quit SSH, Two, type ^A, d and then type quit
[21:59] <anxiolytic_> Harro! I'm looking for circuit design/analysis software for Linux. PSpice/spice? it says the ngspice package is obsolete
[21:59] <Jare> ManDay: <ctrl> a + <shift> D D. detaches screen and exits ssh
[22:01] <gbear14275> anyone ever use any ubuntu backup solutions?
[22:01] <Jare> and without the "+" of course, so "<ctrl> a <shift> D D"
[22:01] <zenwryly> Is there a way to use a directory with *.debs in it but no Packages file as an apt source?
[22:01] <SmackTalk> how do I get into super user mode
[22:01] <gbear14275> SmackTalk: open a terminal and type su
[22:01] <edbian> SmackTalk: in a terminal: "sudo <command>
[22:01] <lstarnes> gbear14275: no
[22:01] <lightningseed> use sudo SmackTalk
[22:02] <lstarnes> SmackTalk: sudo -i
[22:02] <anxiolytic_> anyone? SPICE? apt says the ngspice package is obsolete
[22:02] <lstarnes> gbear14275: su requires the root password (which shouldn't exist)
[22:02] <ManDay> edbian, ctrl c, how that? im still in screen, you remember? gunbert, weird. putty in windows can :P DouglasK what do you mena type "~." ?
[22:02] <lstarnes> gbear14275: sudo -i is the preferred method for running interactively as root
[22:03]  * eth01 is sat in the bath..
[22:03] <gbear14275> lstarnes: sorry, your right... what are the differences between sudo -i and sudo su
[22:03] <eth01> (Wrong channel!)
[22:03] <DouglasK> I mean, to exit an ssh session, press ~ then press .   ... in the default SSH configuration, that will end the ssh connection.
[22:03] <robinro> gartral: thanks for your help; maybe its related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/336125; i'll try an older kernel
[22:03] <lstarnes> gbear14275: sudo su starts both sudo and su
[22:03] <shishie> hi -- pulseaudio outputs to my pc speaker instead of the speakers i have plugged to my pc, or the headphones. any ideas?? this doesn't happen to the other user in this computer (uid 1000)
[22:03] <DouglasK> ManDay,  I mean, to exit an ssh session, press ~ then press .   ... in the default SSH configuration, that will end the ssh connection.
[22:03] <lstarnes> gbear14275: sudo -i just starts sudo
[22:04] <lstarnes> gbear14275: plus sudo is more secure
[22:04] <gbear14275> su is a true "root" though?
[22:04] <ManDay> errm well that kind of combo is totally new. considering that i am on a german keylayout the keys appear a little confusing too
[22:04] <lightningseed> lstarnes: I would say both sudo and su both have their merits depending on your security policy
[22:04] <lstarnes> gbear14275: so is sudo -i
[22:04] <gbear14275> or would you have to sudo su root
[22:04] <mara> gente como faco para entrar nop msn
[22:05] <shishie> mara: sudo apt-get install emesene
[22:05] <ManDay> DouglasK, I tried pressing ~ and . but nothing happens
[22:06] <DouglasK> ManDay, and you were in an SSH connection using ssh in a ubuntu terminal?
[22:06] <ManDay> yes
[22:06] <DouglasK> ManDay, weird.  for me, I tested it, and it terminated the connection, just as the ssh manpage says
[22:06] <ManDay> what keyboard do you use?
[22:07] <gbear14275> anyone suggest a method for backing up before a re-install?
[22:07] <ManDay> where is it in the ssh man, DouglasK ? i searched for exit but there was none like that
[22:07] <DouglasK> US standard .. it's a laptop, but i've used it from a standard PC-104 us kbd.
[22:07] <DouglasK> ManDay, Search for escape in the manpage
[22:08] <jrib> ManDay: tried pressing enter before typing the escape?
[22:08] <ManDay> typing escape?
[22:08] <DouglasK> jrib, I didn't think of that... may help ManDay
[22:08] <ManDay> i never typed escaape
[22:09] <pratik_narain> any alternatives to glchess for 3d chess game
[22:09] <ManDay> i tried "~." as he suggested
[22:09] <jrib> ManDay: by "the escape" I mean ~
[22:09] <ManDay> ah ok
[22:09] <ManDay> typing enter BEFORE i hit it...
[22:09] <jrib> ManDay: yes
[22:09] <insigne> como faço pra entra no msn amigo
[22:10] <jrib> !br | insigne
[22:10] <ManDay> i m trying to make sure i get the right escape character by setting it in -e but i keep getting "bad escape character" as response

[22:11] <Mpole> greetings everyone.
[22:11] <dillard> does anyone know anything about avant windows navigator everytime i open a applications it puts two icons of each in the dock
[22:12] <lwizardl> in openoffice writer when i double click the image i get 1.13"w .85"H and i get set that to all them by hand but is there a way to set that for all images in the table?
[22:12] <Mpole> i need help. i just burned the Ubuntu 9.04 ISO. How do I install Ubuntu on a Mac?
[22:12] <buckwild> can someone please help me get my dvd burner working??
[22:12] <ManDay> well, at least if i set the esc-character to something totally useless such as "g" it works, DouglasK
[22:12] <LzO> hello I successfully installed ubuntu and updated it, now I want to install ATI drivers
[22:12] <orksbane> dillard are you double clicking?
[22:12] <ManDay> but i cant use any esc-character that would make sensse because they are all considered "bad"
[22:12] <guntbert> lwizardl: ask in #openoffice.org please
[22:12] <LzO> how to do it? and I need to use the default drivers or download it from ati site?
[22:12] <mac9416> Hello, how do I enable someone to view my desktop over VNC?
[22:13] <lwizardl> guntbert: did that
[22:13] <dillard> no im not
[22:13] <FrozenInferno> can anyone help me with a power manager problem? i set it to suspend when i close my lid, but all that does is lock it.
[22:13] <edbian> mac9416: System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop
[22:13] <LzO> how to install ATI drivers?
[22:13] <LzO> I found different guides :S
[22:14] <mac9416> edbian, I enable, it says "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address localhost."
[22:14] <edbian> mac9416: yeah so...
[22:14] <mac9416> edbian, how do I enable over the Internet? :-)
[22:14] <lstarnes> LzO: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[22:14] <edbian> mac9416: I thought we'd get to this :)
[22:14] <edbian> PM me
[22:14] <mac9416> lol
[22:14] <Jare> ManDay: i still think that power detach was what you were looking for and it works without extra tweaking...
[22:15] <Mpole> how do i install Ubuntu 9.04 on a mac?
[22:15] <Chazz> Mpole, parition and install
[22:15] <ManDay> yes jare
[22:15] <ManDay> thats the solution
[22:15] <LzO> lstarnes: thx
[22:15] <jordyd> Mpole, stick the CD in, restart
[22:15] <ManDay> just now i have the problem that i cant get a freaking esc-key to work, Jare
[22:15] <Mpole> Chazz: can you elaborate please? i have burned the 9.04 ISO on a CD.
[22:16] <jrib> Mpole: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages
[22:16] <ManDay> thanks DouglasK btw
[22:16] <FrozenInferno> how do i set ubuntu to suspend on lid close? i set it that way in the power manager, and all that happens is that it lockss my screen.
[22:16] <LosFrijoles> does anyone know why a computer with two nics would let me ssh into it, but it can't do anything on outgoing (ping, apt updates, etc)?
[22:16] <SmackTalk> how do I restart the tomcat server?
[22:16] <Chazz> ok, next, boot into Ubuntu Live CD
[22:16] <dc2448> I have upgraded to karmic and now my broadcom wireless can not see my WPA only wireless access point - can scan using iwlist and see other access points but not my own
[22:16] <DouglasK> ManDay, no worries.  take care.
[22:16] <Chazz> then open GParted
[22:16] <jdicesare>  Just started my new Inspiron Mini 10 with Ubuntu.  When I try to open Open Office Document it stops on the Open office Loading splash screen and bogs down my system.  Is there a problem with Open Office or Sun Java? and how do I fix?
[22:16] <buckwild> my dvd rw does not play movies can anyone assist please??
[22:16] <jrib> ManDay: ~ should be the default escape character, but when you specified it with -e, were you sure to escape it from the shell so it doesn't get expanded to /home/manday?
[22:16] <Chazz> and make a parition for ubuntu, then install it to the new parition
[22:16] <jrib> !dvd > buckwild
[22:17] <guntbert> Jare: I missed something: what is "power detach"?
[22:17] <jrib> Mpole: I'm not sure if grub can handle booting os x or not.  Most people use rEFIt on macs.  The link I gave you has detailed instructions
[22:18] <buckwild> jrib:  what does that mean?  i'm new to ubuntu
[22:18] <Jare> guntbert: <ctrl> a <shift> D D. it detaches screen *and* closes the ssh connection
[22:18] <jrib> buckwild: it tells ubottu to send you information.  Did you get a private message from him?
[22:18] <buckwild> yes
[22:18] <sebsebseb> buckwild: To play commercial DVD's in Ubuntu you need  libdvdcss2   however that program is maybe not fully legal in USA
[22:18] <jrib> buckwild: read the link he gave you as it contains instructions on playing DVDs
[22:19] <karanbhangui> hi
[22:19] <sebsebseb> buckwild: well yeah  not fully legal
[22:19] <guntbert> Jare: ahh - I thought you were referring to a special software :-), thx
[22:19] <buckwild> jrib: thanx
[22:19] <karanbhangui> i'm trying to install a python package called JPype
[22:19] <sebsebseb> !medibuntu |  buckwild
[22:19] <karanbhangui> and i'm not able to do so because GCC complains my jvm path is wrong
[22:19] <karanbhangui> i have it as /usr/lib/jvm/java... is this correct?
[22:20] <FrozenInferno> why would my screen lock when i shut my lid instead of suspend, when my power manager options tells my pc to suspend upon shutting the lid?
[22:20] <jdicesare>  Just started my new Dell Inspiron Mini 10 with Ubuntu.  When I try to open Open Office Document it stops on the Open office Loading splash screen and bogs down my system.  Is there a problem with Open Office or Sun Java? and how do I fix?
[22:20] <MementoMori> hi
[22:20] <LzO> 9.04 it's Jaunty version?
[22:21] <sebsebseb> !9.04 |  LzO
[22:21] <bastidrazor> FrozenInferno, when you come back from a suspend the screen is locked.
[22:21] <LzO> --buildpkg Ubuntu/<version>
[22:21] <LzO> so I need to type Jaunty?
[22:22] <sebsebseb> LzO: What do you want to do?
[22:22] <LzO> install ati drivers from ati.com
[22:22] <N1ke_> gartral: I solved it, tho I have yet again, another problem
[22:22] <LzO> or you recommend me open source drivers?
[22:22] <sebsebseb> LzO: getting the nivida drivers directly from nivida can cause right problems,  I guess the same is for ATI,  you get from the Ubuntu repo,  unless you really have to get from the website
[22:23] <MementoMori> LzO: dont you like the one you can install using jockey?
[22:23] <sebsebseb> !ati |  LzO
[22:23] <FrozenInferno> bastidrazor, i know, but my machine never suspends. i have LEDs on the outside of my lid that blink depending on what action is going on. a white LED stays lit when the pc is fully powered, but it blinks when suspending. when i shut my lid, that LED stays lit. i also have a battery LED that turns off when suspending, but it stays on as well
[22:23] <N1ke_> I got the sound, but it's in the headphone holes in the Front of my deskop.. any ideas how to change the sound going from the front to the back ones?
[22:23] <gartral> N1ke_: thats good, but whats your new problem?
[22:23] <FrozenInferno> bastidrazor, i can, however, manually suspend, either by pressing the suspend button, or choosing suspend from the power menu

[22:29] <centropy> anybody in for some help?

[22:29] <centropy> can anybody help me create a win98usb boot stick under ubuntu?
[22:30] <sebsebseb> centropy: don't think you can just do that, also Windows 98 is old and it's been quite a few years now with it not being supported by Microsoft
[22:30] <mikebeecham> could anyone tell me if there's any way to put a background or panel behind conky text?
[22:30] <centropy> Only need the bootup to flash my ssd's sebsebseb
[22:30] <sebsebseb> centropy: most of Windows 98  programs you can get working under Wine I think,   also with enough RAM you can virtual machine Windows 98 inside Ubuntu
[22:31] <sebsebseb> centropy: ok well this is the wrong channal really I think,  try ##windows
[22:31] <centropy> no i dont think so sebsebseb ... i wanna make one under ubuntu
[22:31] <sebsebseb> !unetbootin |  centropy
[22:31] <sebsebseb> centropy:  maybe you can  use  that
[22:31] <centropy> Already installed that ... but the flash program dont runs under freedos
[22:32] <centropy> so i tryed that
[22:32] <sebsebseb> centropy: freedos ???
[22:33] <centropy> yeah that is out of the box sebsebseb...also tryed a win98.iso with only the bootfiles on it... but doesnt work
[22:34] <meanburrito920_> I'm having a brain fart moment here: what is the name of the program that allows you to do disk formatting?
[22:35] <mac9416> Hello, how do I enable someone to view my desktop over the Internet with VNC?
[22:35] <iceroot> meanburrito920_: gparted
[22:35] <meanburrito920_> iceroot: thanks :)
[22:35] <thiebaude> !gparted
[22:35] <th0r> mac9416: you give them the view only password to your vnc server
[22:35] <sebsebseb> centropy: try ##linux
[22:35] <iceroot> mac9416: system-settings-remote desktop
[22:36] <sebsebseb> centropy: or maybe your just a troll really
[22:36] <iceroot> mac9416: i hope the translation is correct
[22:36] <mac9416> th0r, iceroot, well I want them to control it, but it's saying only users on the local network or localhost can connect.
[22:36] <iceroot> why some channels have ## instead of #?
[22:36] <mac9416> iceroot, ask #freenode
[22:36] <sebsebseb> iceroot: # is offical and  ## is unoffical
[22:36] <mac9416> Ah
[22:37] <iceroot> mac9416: you have to forward your pc to the wan
[22:37] <centropy> no im serious sebsebseb i must update my ssd's
[22:37] <iceroot> sebsebseb: ok, thx
[22:37] <mac9416> iceroot, how do I go about doing that?
[22:37] <centropy> don making this up
[22:37] <iceroot> mac9416: look at the manual from your router
[22:37] <iceroot> mac9416: port 5900 has to be forwarded to your local-pc
[22:37] <mac9416> iceroot, I'm connecting via wireless broadband.
[22:37] <Chazz> sebsebseb, wrong
[22:38] <Chazz> iceroot, #
[22:38] <sebsebseb> Chazz: what?    maybe link them to the channal naming  page
[22:38] <Chazz> erm
[22:38] <iceroot> mac9416: so there is no router or gateway? your a connected directly with a wan-adress n your client?
[22:38] <centropy> Chazz:  are you also on teranova?
[22:38] <th0r> iceroot: it is actually 5901 through 5907 depending on the initial invocation of vncserver
[22:38] <Chazz> centropy, nope
[22:38] <centropy> k other chazz
[22:38] <mac9416> iceroot, I don't have a router, but I'm not sure about the second one. I guess.
[22:38] <insigne> como entrar no msn
[22:39] <iceroot> mac9416: ifconfig, look if there is a ip doenst start with 192.168.
[22:39] <sebsebseb> 1!es |  insigne
[22:39] <mac9416> iceroot, it does not.
[22:39] <sebsebseb> !es
[22:39] <sebsebseb> !br
[22:39] <iceroot> th0r: hm, normal vnc is using 5900 imo. but long time not used
[22:39] <centropy> gues u dont know to fix my problem sebsebseb
[22:40] <sebsebseb> centropy: you can try ##hardware as well
[22:40] <sebsebseb> centropy: in fact all the channals I suggested you  try,  are bound to have Linux users in them, right now
[22:40] <th0r> iceroot: 5900 would be for a vncserver on screen :0, which is the one you see at the computer. I think you normally run vncserver on :1 or higher
[22:40] <centropy> oke
[22:40] <thiebaude> bbl, going to watch soccer
[22:40] <centropy> gonne watch over there... tnx for your time sebsebseb
[22:40] <spO> why does make menuconfig show that my kernel configuration is 2.6.28-10 when i am trying to configure a 2.6.28-15 kernel?
[22:40] <sebsebseb> centropy: ok good luck
[22:41] <iceroot> th0r: ah ok, i was at the windows-vnc. dont thought at screen :1 and so on for linux-server
[22:41] <mac9416> iceroot, Chazz, perhaps it's because I don't have tightvnc installed.
[22:41] <Pauluk1984> please can somebody help me?  my system no longer see's my wireless adapter, i've tried removing NM and installing WICD but this too refuses
[22:41] <iceroot> mac9416: your pc has a ip with 192.168. or a wan-ip?
[22:42] <th0r> Pauluk1984: reboot into an earlier kernel and see if the wifi comes back
[22:42] <mac9416> iceroot, not 192.168.
[22:42] <Chazz> sebsebseb, iceroot http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#channelnaming for the # and ## thing
[22:42] <iceroot> Chazz: thx, i will have a look
[22:42] <Pauluk1984> thor: i have no idea how to do this lol, i'm new to linux
[22:42] <sebsebseb> Chazz: indeed
[22:42] <Chazz> yw
[22:44] <th0r> Pauluk1984: when you reboot you will see a 3 second countdown. Press ESC during that 3 seconds and you will get a menu of the installed kernels. I suspect you are using the highest number (2.6.28-15) which has just recently come out. See if you have 2.6.28-13, and if so boot into that. Any number lower than -15 (or whatever you are using) is worth a try
[22:44] <Pauluk1984> this makes a lot of sense, i did a system upgrade earlier and that's when the wireless stopped
[22:44] <spO> has any of you ever configured your own kernel?  when you do a make menuconfig it shows an older version than the current stable on at the top of the configuration?  IE,  the same configuration is used for newer kernels?
[22:45] <th0r> Pauluk1984: also, unless you have used wicd before I would suggest reinstalling network manager....solve one problem at a time
[22:45] <Pauluk1984> but i wouldnt know how to tell linux which kernel to load
[22:45] <th0r> Pauluk1984: you just use the cursor keys to highlight the one you want
[22:45] <Pauluk1984> i've used wicd a few times and it seems more reliable than NM...
[22:45] <Pauluk1984> ok thanks i'll try :)
[22:45] <Pauluk1984> brb
[22:45] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> bye for now
[22:46] <sebsebseb> spO:   Not many Ubuntu users if any really, will compile their own kernel
[22:46] <Shinobi> hi, i just installed unreal tournament 2004, i cant find the folder it was installe dto
[22:47] <sebsebseb> spO: if you install a new kernel,  or in your case compile it youself,   sure  grub's menu.lst will have  the old kernel on it still,  unless you remove the enteries, or  remove the kernel yourself
[22:48] <sebsebseb> Shinobi: the  program user data will be in  a hidden folder in home
[22:48] <Shinobi> so how owuld i get to it?
[22:48] <Shinobi> would*
[22:48] <sebsebseb> Shinobi: remind me  if that game is a native Linux game, or  one you have done in Wine
[22:49] <spO> seb, when i do a make menuconfig to configure a new kernel, it lists 2.6.28-10 at the top , but i am trying to isntall a 2.6.28-15 kernel
[22:49] <Shinobi> native
[22:49] <sebsebseb> Shinobi: look around your hidden folders in home for it.   it may be in another folder.   .local or something.   open  home and view  > show hidden files and folders
[22:50] <sebsebseb> spO: 2.6.28-15   hmm   2.6.28-13-generic  is the current kernel from the repo for 9.04 :)    you can also get  2.6.30  or slightly later using a ppa
[22:50] <noquinho> hi everybody

[22:56] <mc1> i droped Windows
[22:56] <sebsebseb> mc1: right and?

[22:56] <mc1> using ubuntu
[22:56] <sebsebseb> !enter | mc1
[22:56] <Pauluk1984> is there any way i can tell linux to use an earlier kernel whilst in terminal instead of waiting for exit? ... i cant stop the shutdown in time to select the older kernel
[22:56] <mc1> and i fell pretty happy with it
[22:57] <mc1> but...
[22:57] <mc1> the last two installations
[22:57] <Excelsior> (he feels like flooding awhile)
[22:57] <mc1> of version 8 and then switched to jaunty
[22:57] <sebsebseb> Excelsior: yeah seems so
[22:57] <danbhfive> Pauluk1984: isnt the kernel selected at bootup, not shutdown?
[22:57] <mc1> i was doing an update with Synaptic
[22:57] <Excelsior> no one can help me with software raid and mdadm ?
[22:57] <guntbert> spO: could it be that you are in the wrong directory?
[22:58] <mc1> and i got an error message saying that the package was broken
[22:58] <graeme> evening
[22:58] <mc1> and it says to type on the terminal "sudo dpkg --configure -a
[22:58] <mc1> to solve the inconsistency
[22:58] <sebsebseb> mc1: ok so do that
[22:59] <mc1> but nothing gets fixed
[22:59] <mc1> i've checked forums
[22:59] <Pauluk1984> i tried at startup and shutdown to no avail.
[22:59] <mc1> and it very much seems a lot of people are having the same prob
[22:59] <mc1> now i can't install anything
[23:00] <sebsebseb> mc1: if you open synaptic and  do  edit > fix broken packages
[23:00] <sebsebseb> mc1: that may do it
[23:00] <mc1> how?? i can't open it
[23:00] <bigdavejoker> I'm trying to get vmware server up and running it seemed to install properly but I can't figure how to launch the eprogram so I can configure a vmwarae image

[23:00] <bigdavejoker> do I have to have vmplayer installed as well
[23:00] <mc1> because i get an errror window and as soon as i close it the whole thing closes

[23:01] <noquinho> i did it
[23:02] <theatro> mc1, have you tried this in that order:  apt-get clean ; apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade
[23:02] <pauljw> no bigdavejoker , server is all you'll need.  check in at #vmware and see if they can help
[23:02] <mc1> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[23:02] <mc1> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[23:02] <LinuX2half> how do I change my terminal title?

[23:14] <mc1> sebsebseb: are u reading my paste?
[23:14] <LinuX2half> ubuntu2009@unbuntu2009-laptop:~$, is my current title and how do I change it ubuntu2009, deleting unbuntu2009?

[23:15] <rssllcr> hello
[23:15] <rssllcr> I just have a question
[23:15] <danbhfive> LinuX2half: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=change+gnome+terminal+title
[23:15] <RobotCow> why doesn't this work? gnome-terminal --geometry=132x24 --title='Terminal (Wide)'
[23:15] <sebsebseb> !ask |  rssllcr
[23:15] <sebsebseb> !details |  rssllcr
[23:15] <rssllcr> thanks
[23:16] <lstarnes> RobotCow: what part of it doesn't work?
[23:16] <SmackTalk> anyone know how to troubleshoot tomcat?
[23:16] <guntbert> Shinobi: that first part looks a bit strange, please type ls /home/Documents - I expect an error
[23:16] <SmackTalk> how do I restart tomcat?
[23:17] <RobotCow> lstarnes, making the title of the gnome-terminal set
[23:17] <LinuX2half> how do I change my hostname? Going to Admin and networking?
[23:17] <Dr_Willis> RobotCow:  could be the  prompts/other programs are changing the title as soon as it starts. is it jus tthe title part thats not working?
[23:17] <Dr_Willis> !hostname | LinuX2half
[23:17] <lstarnes> RobotCow: that's because bash changes it
 ls: cannot access /home/Documents: No such file or directory
[23:18] <sebsebseb> !google |  danbhfive
[23:18] <acr0nym> the google-fu ? lol
[23:18] <noquinho> noquinho, uname -m and get a package suiting
[23:18] <sebsebseb> acr0nym: heh indeed :)
[23:18] <th0r> Dr_Willis: RobotCow I am using xfce, but have gnome installed. I notice that originally the window opens with the proper title, but then loses it and returns to the default
[23:18] <noquinho> what means package suiting ?
[23:19] <guntbert> Shinobi: thats what I expected - please type cd ~/Douments/UT2004-Patch (you can use <tab> completion to make it easier)
[23:19] <guntbert> *Documents
 the patch is at /home/eric/Documents/UT2004-Patch the game folder is at  /usr/local/games/ut2004
[23:19] <Shinobi> i forgot the username
[23:19] <Shinobi> :x
[23:19] <Dr_Willis> th0r:  the bash prompt by default I think changes that title to the current working directory/executed program. thats why.
[23:20] <lstarnes> RobotCow: there is a way to prevent programs running within the terminal from changing its title
[23:20] <th0r> RobotCow: you will be glad to know that command works fine with xfce4-terminal
[23:20] <mc1> Hello again!  I'm asking for help with Jaunty.  I was doing an update with Synaptic and I got an error message.  I've check some forums and it seems a lot of people are having the same problem too. this is the link with the error messages I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/242687/

[23:25] <ubuntuNoob> i'm ON the usb and got only that working OS

[23:25] <ubuntuNoob> how can i boot from usb to install if i got a running os on it?
[23:25] <rssllcr> once I get the driver installed I would like to use my DVI cable instead of a vga cable on my LCD monitor because I would like to connect this compurter to my HDTV so that I can watch videos on my HDTV instead of my computer monitor
[23:25] <skyl> lstarnes right, I guess I should look up
[23:26] <danbhfive> ubuntuNoob: there should be a shortcut on the desktop, and also, there should be an option in the startup menu
[23:26] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuNoob:  you want to install to the flash you are booting from?
[23:26] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuNoob:  or install to the hard drive? i do flash -> hard drive installs all the time. with the installer tool
[23:26] <ubuntuNoob> no, i already installed ON the flash, but i want to install to HD while i'm running from the USB
[23:26] <Zxcvb> if I hibernate with a sd card mounted in my internal sd reader, when I resume the sd reader won't work at all and the sd card is corrupted, any suggestions?

[23:26] <nonZero_> Hi!  oops I delete apache2.conf from hardy
[23:27] <ubuntuNoob> syslinux or something like that
[23:27] <rincon> which pdf viewer is on the repos ?
[23:27] <Dr_Willis> Zxcvb:  thats a known bug/issue with a lot of machines.   check the forums for your exact machine and perhaps theres some kernel boot options to try ti work around it.
[23:27] <nonZero_> What's the fastest way to recover apache2.conf on hardy?
[23:27] <ubuntuNoob> i do it from win xp before formatting it :P
[23:27] <MK13> ubuntuNoob, then don't you have the option to install at boot time?
[23:27] <mc1> Can anybody help me with this? : http://paste.ubuntu.com/242702/
[23:27] <noquinho> ok guys!!! its impossible to install songbird in my linux. Please let me know another program to use my ipod and listen podcasts . No amarok please
[23:28] <th0r> __martin_: find the init script that calls the webcam module and list the bttv script as required start in the webcam script
[23:28] <ubuntuNoob> you mean using the same tool on the HD instead the flash?
[23:28] <Dr_Willis> noquinho:  i noticed the latest tar.gz songbird 64bit version here.. just 'hangs' when i try to start it.
[23:28] <ubuntuNoob> i tryed
[23:28] <stinky> I have a company FTP, and I was wondering if I could make one of my local folders automatically upload anything in a specific folder to the FTP? would be nice to have it so whenever a file has a change it auto-uploads to the FTP.
[23:28] <gnuisancev4> how would I change the download directory of a single torrent without changing what is  specified in the .rtorrent.rc ?
[23:29] <MK13> ubuntuNoob, i mean when you boot from the Flash there should be choices including installing
[23:29] <robertc1985> ok serious problem for me, how do i enable USB audio on hardy?
[23:29] <th0r> stinky: check rsync
[23:29] <sebsebseb> mc1: yeah  apt-get/synaptic is  quite good, untill   something happens and you can't install  programs just like that anymore.    even got  two guys elesewhere to have a look,  but hmm
[23:29] <ubuntuNoob> it just start ubuntu
[23:29] <Kevin1a> What can cause media players to close immediately after opening a video file? (totem, vlc, and even visualizations in rythembox)  I haved tried several different video files, including ones that worked in the past, and reinstalled w32codecs.
[23:29] <stinky> thanks th0r
[23:29] <danbhfive> mc1: it looks like the install is bad or something.  did this happen during an upgrade?
[23:30] <stercor> How does one use 'mutt' in Ubuntu?  Mutt needs to create files in /var/mail, but the common user doesn't have the permissions.  sudo mutt tries to make a /var/mail/root, which it not a good idea.
[23:30] <ubuntuNoob> i all but an expert.. but i installed ubuntu on the flash, so it's not an installation but an INSTALLED os
[23:30] <ubuntuNoob> or i'm wrong?
[23:30] <Dr_Willis> stinky:  theres the fuse-ftp tools that can allow you to mount a 'remote ftp site' as if it was a local directory.
[23:30] <danbhfive> stercor: maybe create a user folder first?  with permissions set?
[23:30] <Dr_Willis> stinky:  thats one way of doing it. sort of.
[23:30] <mc1> no.  i was trying to install what's required to do a RAM boot.  I had done several updates in the two weeks prior to the error.
[23:30] <stinky> cool thanks Dr_Willis  :)
[23:31] <rincon> what is the name of the pdf viewer that should be installed alongside with ubuntu ?
[23:31] <Dr_Willis> Kevin1a:  run the media player from a terminal. look for error messages.
[23:31] <aboSamoor> rincon, evince
[23:31] <MK13> ubuntuNoob, it probably hads the contents of the iso, with a casper file for persistence
[23:31] <stercor> danbhfive: I tried that...I think.  I'll try it again.
[23:31] <RobotCow> when is ubuntu going to have this? http://www.nsa.gov/research/selinux/index.shtml
[23:31] <ubuntuNoob> yep
[23:31] <robertc1985> ok serious problem for me, how do i enable USB audio on hardy? the on board card is damaged
[23:31] <Dr_Willis> !selinux
[23:31] <Dr_Willis> robertc1985:  it allready does..  :)

[23:32] <RobotCow> available how?
[23:32] <robertc1985> when i play an mp3 i hear nothing
[23:32] <ubuntuNoob> so how can i make the usb ask me to install ubuntu again and let me select the hd?
[23:32] <Dr_Willis> RobotCow:  see the bots url it gave...
[23:32] <mechtech> nonZero: hope this helps: http://finalcog.com/undelete-open-file-from-inode
[23:32] <danbhfive> mc1: hmm, I don't know what a ram boot is.  This error happened while trying to get that working?  If you were following some directions, can you post a link?
[23:32] <Dr_Willis> RobotCow:  ive never used it.. dont want to - ive had to fight with seliunux befor...
[23:32] <rssllcr> This nvdia driver says it is not config to the x server I wonder how to change it?
[23:32] <sebsebseb> !details |  mc1
[23:33] <mechtech> partik_narain: you here?
[23:33] <MK13> ubuntuNoob, but when you boot from the usb it goes straight into Ubuntu w/out a prompt asking for run, install, etc?
[23:33] <Dr_Willis> rssllcr:  you did reboot after installing the nvidia driver?
[23:33] <ubuntuNoob> yes
[23:33] <rssllcr> yes
[23:33] <RobotCow> Dr_Willis, all i see is info about AppArmor
[23:33] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuNoob:  you can configure the nvidia stuff with the 'nvidia-settings' command. You need to run it with root permissions however. It may not ask for them  if yiou launch it via an icon
[23:33] <majnoon> how get pulseaudio on one computer to play on another ??
[23:33] <nonZero_> Oops, i deleted apache2.conf on Hrady... What's the fastest way to recover apache2.conf on hardy?

[23:34] <Ayla> hello !
[23:34] <Dr_Willis> RobotCow:  thats the selinux alterntive ubuntu uses.. and thats about all i know on the topic.
[23:34] <robertc1985> the device is in the usb port and the speaker is plugged into the other end where it should be, but i never hear anything
[23:34] <RobotCow> Dr_Willis, i know why SELinux is not included in ubuntu and it does appeal to the windows user switching to linux
[23:34] <Zxcvb> Dr_Willis: nothing on the forums, unfortunately
[23:34] <Pauluk1984> are there any drivers out there for usb wireless cards? ...
[23:34] <SmackTalk> how do I list/restart processes?
[23:34] <ubuntuNoob> ps?
[23:34] <danbhfive> ubuntuNoob: maybe you could use the your current session, download a copy of the iso, and reburn your usb stick with esb-creator
[23:34] <Ayla> how can you change the default OSD for the volume in Ubuntu ?
[23:34] <Ayla> I want the basic Gnome one
[23:35] <Dr_Willis> Kevin1a:  tell vlc touse a a different 'video output driver' - its trying the 'x11' one by default it seems thats crashing.
[23:35] <RobotCow> SmackTalk, kill the process and then run it again? only services are restarted
[23:35] <ubuntuNoob> i can clean the usb stick while i'm running on it the os??
[23:35] <MK13> ubuntuNoob, you could try making the USB again w/ unetbootin i know that preserves the install command
[23:35] <mralexandro> hi where can you find skydome pictures for compiz, i tried googling it
[23:35] <sebsebseb> mc1: that sounds good
[23:35] <ubuntuNoob> ah ok.
[23:35] <ubuntuNoob> let me try, thx a lot
[23:36] <HoldenC> Hello
[23:36] <RobotCow> mralexandro, compiz official website? any site that has ubuntu screenshots like gnome-looks.org
[23:36] <danbhfive> ubuntuNoob: well, I think you should, if you have enough ram...  Otherwise, it might not work.
[23:36] <MK13> ubuntuNoob, are you using a cd iso to create the usb or a usb image?
[23:36] <ubuntuNoob> mk13: iso image
[23:36] <rssllcr> I would like to know has anyone connected their linux compurter to a HDTV to view videos instead of your computer monitor
[23:36] <mc1> Thanks dudes.  I really don't know how you guys do it (to invest your time to help people).
[23:37] <Dr_Willis> rssllcr:  i have via the vga cable.. but not hdmi/dvi (yet)
[23:37] <MK13> ubuntuNoob, then unetbootin would be a good choice
[23:37] <danbhfive> nonZero_: maybe try reinstalling apache2.2-common
[23:37] <stercor> How do I 'twitter'?
[23:37] <bonez46> how could I figure out which httpd.conf or other such file my installation uses for apache2 ? Any ideas, on a system running 9.04 desktop
[23:37] <Ayla> nobody knows ?
[23:38] <ubuntuNoob> MK13: ok i'm trying.. if i disappear.. something is gone wrong :P
[23:38] <rssllcr> how do I clone the monitor
[23:38] <mralexandro> should a usb disk autodetect in ubuntu or do you have to mount it?
[23:38] <AceGusto> hello have anyone tried installing 3. party programs on to a synology nas server?
[23:38] <mechtech> Ayla: gnome IS the default desktop for jaunty
[23:38] <dynavox> MK13 the restricted repository is added to Synaptic under Settings > Repositories? Looks like what I added were the restriced device drivers. Are those the restricted packages you were referring to?
[23:39] <MK13> mralexandro, it should auto detect it
[23:39] <mralexandro> MK13: it dont:(
[23:39] <danbhfive> Ayla: right click > Add to Panel?
[23:39] <mralexandro> or wait
[23:39] <mralexandro> let me see
[23:39] <Ayla> mechtech: I know I know... I just want to change the notification for the volume
[23:39] <AceGusto> hello have anyone tried installing 3. party programs on to a synology nas server? can you pleace pm me
[23:39] <MK13> dynavox, no i am talking about the codecs
[23:39] <Dr_Willis> rssllcr:  if you are using nvidia cards. the nvidia-settings tool lets you set/clone/twinview/other settings.
[23:40] <dynavox> MK13, what should i search for in Synaptic, please?
[23:40] <MK13> dynavox, try searching the install/remove program w/ "gstreamer"
[23:40] <dynavox> MK13, ah, thanks!
[23:40] <rssllcr> but I don't know how to get into those settings
[23:40] <rssllcr> I know how to do it using windows
[23:40] <Ayla> I'm speaking about the little black box that appears when you change the volume
[23:40] <Kevin1a> Dr_Willis: tried with several different outputs, Open GL worked but was slow to the point of being unusable.  Would you venture a guess as to how I might have caused this problem?
[23:41] <ubuntuNoob> MC13: when i choos where to work t
[23:41] <danbhfive> dynavox: maybe ubuntu-restricted-extras
[23:41] <rssllcr> is there a settings tool I can download
[23:41] <ubuntuNoob> MC13: when i choose where to put the bootable thing, i can't see any hd
[23:41] <rssllcr> I can use the package manager
[23:41] <Dr_Willis> Kevin1a:  what video card? and you did install the proper 3rd party drviers for that card?
[23:42] <ubuntuNoob> MC13: i see a mounted 200.0 GB Media but in the available target i got only /
[23:42] <dynavox> danbhfive, thanks, I'll try that
[23:43] <fg56lx> I'm having a problem with sound. When ever I listen to any music (on any media player) or watch any video (even youtube) the sound starts to skip and jump around. What would cause this, and how could I fix it?
[23:43] <jonesy> hey guys n grils is there amp to change my desktop waller like every 5 mins  or radom
[23:43] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuNoob:  ive only used unetbootin to install to 'flash' media. not actual usb hard drives.. it may not do the installs to a hard drive as well as it does flash.
[23:43] <rincon> how do i add a shutdown button to menus?
[23:43] <rcmaehl> Crap!
[23:43] <MK13> ubuntuNoob, are you talking to mc1 or mk13 ?
[23:43] <jrib> jonesy: wallpaper-tray iirc
[23:43] <Dr_Willis> jonesy:  ive seen such appsin the repos.. or write a script to do it. :) that was a fun 'test' of my leet coding skills one night.
[23:43] <jonesy> cool thax jrib
[23:44] <ubuntuNoob> MK13: you, pardon! i'm trying to install to an hard disk, not usb!
[23:44] <jonesy> leet? lol
[23:44] <lakotajames> hey, guys.  I have a fairly nice joystick someone gave me.  Just, nothing to use it with.  What's a good use of it?
[23:44] <rcmaehl> uSbuntu is cool
[23:44] <Kevin1a> Dr_Willis: The computer in question is an eeepc 1000HEB.  I believe the graphics are Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 and are integrated into the motherboard?
[23:44] <stinky> lakotajames,  try Zsnes or xmame
[23:44] <ubuntuNoob> Dr_Willis: i can choose USB or Hard Disk from unetbootin, so i think it's possible
[23:44] <rcmaehl> lakotajames, a paper wieght
[23:45] <mechtech> lakotajames: flight simulators are fun
[23:45] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuNoob:  i normally use unetbootin, and the ubuntu desktop.iso file and under windows. uave unetbootin install to the flash drive (or linux) then i can boot the flash drive and use the install tools to install from flash to the hard drive.
[23:45] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuNoob:  a Unetbootin install to a 'hard drive' will NOT be the same as  the ubuntu installer does.
[23:45] <lakotajames> mechtech:  that one flightgears thing runs waaaaayyyy to bad to beable to be used.
[23:45] <mechtech> lakotajames: also games like freespace (but that's windows)
[23:45] <ubuntuNoob> Dr_Willis: goooooooood so how can i install from the usb to the hard drive?
[23:45] <mechtech> lakotajames: there are others
[23:45] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuNoob:  last i looked at the unerbootin harddrive install 'features' it did not do a 'live cd' type install to the hard drive eitehr. it was some other odd kind of install.
[23:46] <Ayla> lakotajames: X-Plane
[23:46] <jonesy> jrib were can i find it after its installed
[23:46] <rcmaehl> I like windows
[23:46] <CRM> Hello. Im configuring Conky, and I wonder if there is a way to show the maximum CPU speed? Right now it only shows the full speed when the cpu is under heavy load. I guess its some kind of power saving feature, it's a laptop you see.
[23:46] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuNoob:  when i booted teh flash drive. there was an install icon on the desktop.  ive used dozens of times.
[23:46] <jrib> jonesy: no idea tbh.  If you're still stuck in 2 minutes, tell me and I'll check it out in
[23:46] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuNoob:  note i am using a actual 'flash drive' not a external usb hard drive.
[23:46] <ubuntuNoob> Dr_Willis: omg......
[23:47] <ubuntuNoob> Dr_Willis: i'm sure that it's just a shorcut to add/remove apps -___-
[23:47] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuNoob:  unetbootin does 'to hard drive' installs in some different way from what i recall from READING the unetbootin docs/homepage.
[23:47] <jonesy> i can never find stuff that gets installed stuopid should be a way of finding out
[23:47] <Kevin1a> Dr_Willis: Do you think it may be due to the fact that my virtual desktop is too large?  I could be overtaxing the machines graphics capabilities because I have a second monitor hooked up to it?  It's still strange though that it used to run video fine and then suddenly stopped.
[23:47] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuNoob:  err.. no its not.. Ive installed using that 'instaler' icon on at least 9 machines with this same flash drive.
[23:47] <MK13> ubuntuNoob, my suggustion was using unetbootin from windows...
[23:47] <jrib> jonesy: dpkg -L PACKAGE   tells you everything a package installed if you want hints.  My first guess would be to try Preferences menu
[23:47] <mbrigdan> I just found out that snort has apparently been sending alerts to root@mycomputer for quite sometime now, is there anyway that I can get it to send to a real email address?
[23:48] <noquinho> i just installed banshee !!! now do u know how to import all my musics to banshee ?
[23:48] <CRM> Hello. Im configuring Conky, and I wonder if there is a way to show the maximum CPU speed? Right now it only shows the full speed when the cpu is under heavy load. I guess its some kind of power saving feature, it's a laptop you see.
[23:48] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuNoob:  lets summarize..   Really...I don't know
[23:49] <danbhfive> ubuntuNoob: I think you need to decide if you are going to install from an iso, and what media you are going to burn the iso to.  Since your usb is tied up, maybe from the harddrive?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux
[23:49] <b0nn> hrm, where do I have a whinge about behaviour of konsole in Ubuntu NBR ?
[23:50] <b0nn> actually, all I want to say is &*^%$&^$&^$&%$&%$&$^&
[23:50] <MK13> ubuntuNoob, i thought you didn't have the shortcut, my bad
[23:50] <b0nn> it's horrible
[23:50] <Dr_Willis> mechtech:  flash drive = little thumbdrive  :)
[23:50] <Ergo^> !offline
[23:50] <ubuntuNoob> MK13: sorry.. my fault..
[23:50] <jonesy> jrib its an applet ive added to tha bar now cheers
[23:50] <MK13> ubuntuNoob, u got it going now?
[23:50] <jrib> jonesy: cool
[23:50] <b0nn> oh, my mistake it's not konsole, it's gnome-terminal
[23:51] <yfk> how can I incorporate a package into Ubuntu installed on USB (with the app that came with the distro)?
[23:51] <ubuntuNoob> MK13: yes i't working.. shame on me :P anyway i really love linux!
[23:51] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuNoob:  my normal method (from a single windows mach9ne) - get unetbootin for windows, get iso file, plug in a 'flash drive' not a exteranl usb hard drieve. use unetbootin tool to make a bootable flash drive.. reboot..  use the installer on the desktop.
[23:51] <MK13> ubuntuNoob, glad to hear it :D
[23:51] <Dr_Willis> unetbootin has some sort of 'frugal install' trick it does to 'hard drives'
[23:51] <teimu> hi ubuntu! what's your recommendation to back up my DVDs to disk (in mpeg)?
[23:51] <ubuntuNoob> Dr_Willis: yes i can make it work 2 hours ago if i notice that the install shortcut does the installation on the internal hard disc!
[23:52] <rincon> how do i add a shutdown and a restart button to the gnome system menu on ubuntu?
[23:52] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuNoob:  :)
[23:52] <MK13> Dr_Willis, have you tried the built int "create usb- startup disk" from inside ubuntu?
[23:52] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuNoob:  so the problem is.. there was no problem?
[23:52] <Dr_Willis> MK13:  i have.. it works.. but i find the scripts at pendrivelinux web site work better.
[23:52] <ubuntuNoob> Dr_Willis: the problem is that i started using linux tomorrow xD thx Dr.
[23:52] <Dr_Willis> MK13:  the peristant save feature works..   'almost properly' 80% of the time.
[23:53] <michael> does anyone know how to change the font color in nautilus. I'm talking about the file/folder name font colors under the icon.
[23:53] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuNoob:  make that flash drive and keep it handy. its  a good rescue tool :)
[23:53] <cap_eath> Ok, trying to install 9.04 on a AMD dual core w/ nVidia chipset.  I get the ACPI error.  Do I need a new computer. (It just came out of the box)
[23:53] <fg56lx> I'm having a problem with sound. When ever I listen to any music (on any media player) or watch any video (even youtube) the sound starts to skip and jump around. What would cause this, and how could I fix it?
[23:53] <MK13> Dr_Willis, ahh, the pendrivelinux scripts usually mess up the booting for me... and I never use persistence that much (except for with Kubuntu)
[23:53] <dynavox> wmv file is still quitting while opening. :\ I installed the restricted packages. anyone have any wisdom to lay on me (besides staying away from WMV files?)
[23:53] <ubuntuNoob> Dr_Willies: sure!
[23:54] <LinuxEA> Hi, I would like to add a few apps to default at startup. Im using openbox.. Tried using /etc/init.d/ but it didn't work the way I'd like
[23:54] <iceroot> dynavox: use vlc
[23:54] <mbrigdan> cap_eath: Try acpi=off as a kernel option, that might fix it
[23:54] <iceroot> !startup | LinuxEA
[23:54] <LinuxEA> I dont have gnome..
[23:54] <dynavox> iceroot, VLC quits as soon as it tries to play it.
[23:54] <mbrigdan> I just found out that snort has apparently been sending alerts to root@mycomputer for quite sometime now, is there anyway that I can get it to send to a real email address?
[23:55] <iceroot> LinuxEA: kde? xfce4?
[23:55] <LinuxEA> nope, only openbox
[23:55] <rincon> how do i add a shutdown and a restart button to the gnome system menu on ubuntu?
[23:55] <iceroot> LinuxEA: sorry, dont know openbox
[23:55] <Dr_Willis> MK13:  i set up a persistant pendrive for each machine i got (well one with nvidia drivers, and one with other drivers)   its the drivers that cause the issues with the peristant save stuff
[23:55] <macgyver_> are their any gphoto users here?
[23:55] <ubuntuNoob> Dr_Willis: i got a half-burned Sony Vaio with a non-working nvidia geforce, with windows it's unusable.. with ubuntu it works enough, more than 640x480 and without strange random pixels :P
[23:55] <iceroot> rincon: right click, add to panel, then choose the buttons
[23:55] <jrib> LinuxEA: http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:Autostart
[23:55] <teimu> has anyone done any DVD backups in ubuntu lately? i know of a few tools, but this was years ago.
[23:56] <jonesy> 20   0  295m  32m  15m R   97  1.1   0:36.73 wp_tra
[23:56] <jonesy> ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[23:56] <LinuxEA> jrib: Perfect ! thank you
[23:56] <jrib> teimu: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[23:56] <iceroot> teimu: without cpy-protection, k3b is working fine
[23:56] <MK13> Dr_Willis, that is the only thing i hated about the Kubuntu persistence, had to run nvidia-xconfig, then restart kde every boot :(
[23:56] <iceroot> teimu: never tried copy-protected video-dvds
[23:56] <lakotajames> Alright, my computer seems quite a bit slower than it used to be.  How do I go about figuring out what I did to it?
[23:57] <iceroot> lakotajames: look at top, what is using much ram/cpu
[23:57] <mdgrech> l
[23:57] <Dr_Willis> MK13:  i fixed that with a rc.local command to copy over the proper xorg.conf  befor it started X
[23:57] <MK13> Dr_Willis, :O i never thought of that
[23:58] <Dr_Willis> MK13:  i disabled kdm (gdm) and had them lauch via rc.local after i did the xorg.conf copy.
[23:58] <teimu> thanks iceroot! checking that out now. and well, okay jrib: how can i backup a dvd to mpeg format?
[23:58] <iceroot> lakotajames: if you dont know how to read that, post the output from "top -n 1" to pastebin and post the link here
[23:58] <mdgrech> anyone from detroit area here?
[23:58] <iceroot> !paste | lakotajames
[23:58] <jrib> teimu: ask *the channel*  exactly because I do backup dvds but not to mpeg
[23:59] <MK13> Dr_Willis, but i don't use KDE w/ ubuntu anymore, i save that for bsd and gnome for ubuntu... any chance to get a pastebin of all the steps you took so I can try it?
[23:59] <Dr_Willis> I tend to 'rip' dvd's with dvdrip :) but thats not exactly a 'backup'
[23:59]  * jrib uses dvdbackup
[23:59] <ubuntuNoob> Dr_Willis: what's the cleaner way to install vlc? it's not in the default apps, and i can't find it in the synaptic thing with universe repo
[23:59] <lakotajames> gnome-do and compiz.
