[04:47] <taroven> Skapare: Turns out that setting "flat-volumes = no" in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf at least makes PA levels less annoying to deal with. I can live with that. Ended up just killing the Gnome volume controls on the second user, there's a volume wheel on the speakers for that anyway. =P
[04:48] <frederick85> I'v got this issue where my mouse doesn't work occasionally after booting 10.10, like I said it is occasional and the workaround I'm currently using is turn it off and on again and it has a chance that it will work.
[04:48] <MrAnthrope> Hey guys, I installed Guild Wars and everything is fine except I installed an icon theme and it has messed up my desktop icon for guild wars. How can I make a GW icon that isn't a sheet of paper? lol
[04:49] <maco> MrAnthrope: you can just right click it and edit it and tell it to use a different file as the icon
[04:49] <Hrimfaxi> is there any way to close out notification boxes?
[04:49] <john38> shcherbak,??

[04:54] <heyuanwei> Thanks vey
[04:54] <heyuanwei> Thanks very much
[04:54] <shcherbak> john38: it detect supported hardware with no connection, just cannot install it
[04:54] <john38> shcherbak, what do i do first
[04:54] <nit-wit> frederick85,  it is probably the mouse what makes it work when this happens?
[04:55] <john38> shcherbak, should i transfer any file to that computer
[04:55] <john38> shcherbak, i dont have aht9k_htc driver
[04:55] <frederick85> nit-wit, to get it working again I shut down the computer and start it up again
[04:56] <nit-wit> frederick85, have you tried unplugging then plugging back in?
[04:56] <greezmunkey> frederick85: is your mosue usb?
[04:56] <shcherbak> john38: first Menu... then installing manualt if it will be needed look at this post -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10062893

[04:56] <frederick85> greezmunkey, yes usb
[04:56] <MrAnthrope> I don't see how to change the icon.
[04:57] <greezmunkey> frederick85: Dell PC? Dell Mouse?
[04:57] <frederick85> greezmunkey, microsoft also to add it has no issues on windows
[04:57] <bastidrazor> MrAnthrope: right click > properties > Basic > click the icon below the word Basic > select a new icon to use
[04:57] <nit-wit> frederick85, have you tried another mouse to see if this happens?
[04:58] <frederick85> nit-wit, no but it never does that on windows so it's something with ubuntu
[04:58] <MrAnthrope> lol omg. Thanks bastidrazor :)
[04:58] <greezmunkey> frederick85: what nit-wit said, or what i found with my system - moving the mouse to a differant usb port solved the issue for me. Wierd, I know...

[05:07] <Shishire> using the built-in gnome-xchat... how do I add an on connect command?
[05:07] <lapion> rypervenche, even rebooted, removed, re-added the applet etcetc
[05:08] <rypervenche> lapion: What version of Ubuntu are you on?
[05:08] <lapion> 10.10 of course
[05:09] <shcherbak> john38: oki, you told me that you used this usb on second machine?
[05:09] <john38> shcherbak, worked fine before i swapped HDD's from second machine to this machine and back
[05:10] <sexy> MPD has web server access right?
[05:10] <rypervenche> lapion: Have you done anything with your accounts recently? Go into your accounts and check the nicknames and everything.
[05:10] <john38> shcherbak, when i reinstalled ubuntu on second machine it still showed up wired connection auto etho0 as if it was on this computer
[05:10] <lapion> rypervenche, nope no changes to accounts.. only regular updates with update mngr
[05:11] <rypervenche> lapion: Check the account info anyways to see if anything has changed.
[05:12] <shcherbak> john38: i thought that it is wlan0 not eth0
[05:13] <john38> shcherbak,arent you understanding me
[05:13] <lolzer> i am not able to see the sdcc software that i installed
[05:13] <john38> shcherbak, sorry i know its late
[05:13] <john38> shcherbak, the HDD on this computer used to be on that one
[05:13] <lolzer> can any1 help me out plz
[05:14] <john38> shcherbak, and the one on the second machine used to be on this one
[05:14] <john38> shcherbak, im using wired auto etho0 on this one and wlan on second with usb adapter
[05:15] <john38> shcherbak, the wireless router is on this machine
[05:15] <humanMeat> so i went to openvpn to see what the heck is going on with my vpn
[05:15] <shcherbak> john38: ok, can you put adapter into machine where it works?
[05:15] <humanMeat> i did ufw 1194 where openvpn should be listening
[05:16] <humanMeat> "it's your firewall" openvpn guy says
[05:16] <lapion> rypervenche, the only thing I can think of is that someone changed the behavior of the applet..
[05:16] <john38> shcherbak, i only have 2 machines this one and the other
[05:16] <lapion> Nothing is changed in my user settings..
[05:17] <rypervenche> lapion: I'm not sure then.
[05:17] <shcherbak> john38: if i get it right, on one of them adapter should work, right?
[05:17]  * lapion thinks the applet creator decided that if you can't switch users because one only has one user on the system the user name need not be visible..
[05:18] <john38> shcherbak, i can reverse connections
[05:18] <zhill29> Hey, stupid question here but how do I install GDM themes in Ubuntu 10.10?
[05:18] <hblount> Hi. I installed ubuntu 10.10 on an old comp with an abit nf7 mobo.  I am not getting sound.  Also, I have a dell g0771 video card 64mb and I can't get dvd's to play. Can anyone help?
[05:18] <john38> shcherbak, so second machine is connected to router and modem and this machine with adapter
[05:19] <[1]mvsn> hey everyone... there really isnt a generic channel for "Open Source" that I could find... but i might as well bring this here.... From all the things open source... how come no one has started the following; Open Source Banking; Open Source Insurance.. :P
[05:19] <humanMeat> does anyone know what will try again in 5 seconds: Connection timed out (WSAETIMEDOUT) means?
[05:19]  * lapion thinks the applet creator decided that if you can't switch users because one only has one user on the system the user name need not be visible.. rypervenche
[05:20] <AbhiJit> !theme | zhill29
[05:20] <rypervenche> lapion: I only have one user on my system and I see my name.
[05:20] <zhill29> Abhijit i know how to find the themes i just don't know how to install gdm themes in 10.10... they changed it
[05:20] <sexy> MPD has web access too right?
[05:20] <AbhiJit> !changethemes
[05:20] <shcherbak> john38: just plug it to "wired" machine and run ifconig command (do not need to connect to network)
[05:20] <lapion> ok thanks.. rypervenche  at least that is not the problem
[05:21] <john38> shcherbak, will setting up windows 7 automatically with home network affect how adapter on second will work
[05:21] <Shoggoth> bastidrazor: thanks it worked a treat!
[05:21] <john38> shcherbak, you mean plug adapter to this machine then run ifconfig?
[05:23] <shcherbak> john38: yes
[05:23] <humanMeat> hwo can i tell if my remote ubuntu server is accepting anything on port 1194
[05:23] <zhill29> AbhiJit: Thanks, but that still doesn't help me with GDM themes, for the login screen.
[05:23] <lapion> thanks for you help rypervenche I will lok into this on a later time. it's way too early to google........
[05:23] <pahnin> hello

[05:25] <AbhiJit> Leman_Russ, not sure but set screenshiot delay to 1min or so and keep rotating your desktop for 1min and it wll then (MAY BE) take screenshot of what you want?
[05:25] <humanMeat> does ssh work with all ports greezmunkey?
[05:25] <humanMeat> i thought it's just 22 23
[05:25] <john38> shcherbak, only eth0 and  lo
[05:25] <maco> humanMeat: you can configure it to run on a different port
[05:25] <jushine> my god!
[05:26] <pahnin> any one plz help .... I want to instal unity on my 10.10
[05:26] <humanMeat> i configured my client to connect on 22
[05:26] <humanMeat> and the server seems to accept on 22
[05:26] <shcherbak> john38: ok, try to enable wireless in panel
[05:26] <greezmunkey> humanMeat: ssh into your server, if it is set up for that, and then check which ports it is listening on.
[05:26] <john38> shcherbak, you mean network connections
[05:27] <root__> ss
[05:27] <humanMeat> greezmunkey i see this: tcp        0      0 <IP_ADDRESS>:1194            <IP_ADDRESS>:*               LISTEN
[05:27] <humanMeat> what does that mean..
[05:28] <john38> shcherbak, nope nothing
[05:28] <AbhiJit> :s
[05:28] <john38> shcherbak, just eth0 and lo
[05:28] <greezmunkey> human it means it is listening...on that port number.
[05:28] <shcherbak> john38: what about sudo ifconfig wlan0 up?
[05:28] <humanMeat> my remote server is listening on that port number?
[05:28] <john38> shcherbak, should i reset router to factory settings and config again
[05:28] <humanMeat> how would I confirm this greezmunkey
[05:29] <humanMeat> apparently the output looks like it's giving me lip service
[05:29] <humanMeat> like from a remote place.
[05:29] <humanMeat> i'm in windows
[05:29] <greezmunkey> humanMeat: It looks like you are running OpenVPN on it, is that right?
[05:29] <humanMeat> yes..
[05:29] <john38> shcherbak, wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
[05:29] <shcherbak> john38: no need, have you used adapter on Ubuntu at all?
[05:29] <humanMeat> the server is running.  i can't seem to get my client to connect it keeps timing out or something
[05:29] <humanMeat> i made some windows firewall exceptions
[05:30] <greezmunkey> humanMeat: stop and restart the openvpn service, then try connecting to it again.
[05:30] <humanMeat> did that
[05:30] <john38> shcherbak, yes this worked fine before i swapped HDD's and installed win 7
[05:30] <shcherbak> john38: on 10.10 or 10.04?
[05:30] <john38> shcherbak, 10.04.1
[05:31] <john38> shcherbak, 64 bit
[05:31] <CrunchyChewie> is it possible to give a daemon NTFS write permissions on an SMB share?
[05:32] <shcherbak> ok, well, connect it back to second machine.
[05:32] <shcherbak> john38: strange
[05:32] <john38> shcherbak, yes very
[05:33] <CrunchyChewie> then again, not even sure it is the daemon that needs write perms
[05:33] <momentum> is there a bug in ubuntu 10.10's gnuplot's png output system ?
[05:33] <humanMeat> i hate openvpn
[05:33] <humanMeat> i really really do
[05:34] <john38> shcherbak, does Bios verify HDD or something
[05:34] <Skapare> humanMeat: I hate your computer .... really really
[05:34] <john38> shcherbak, there sata hdd's
[05:34] <Skapare> humanMeat: but does that really really matter?
[05:35] <CrunchyChewie> better yet, is anyone familiar with running deluge in daemon/thin client mode?
[05:35] <john38> shcherbak, maybe win 7 disabled wireless lan with router
[05:35] <john38> shcherbak, i dont know
[05:36] <fgump> momentum: don't think so, i used it a week back, and it was working fine
[05:36] <shcherbak> john38: well, you supposed to see device in system despite of setting of router, strange because....

[05:39] <Agent001> can i see?
[05:39] <shcherbak> john38: if adapter worked with linux mean you had installed firmware before, does windows woks with adapter? prefer to check it before you start building kernel.
[05:39] <AbhiJit> :o
[05:39] <CrunchyChewie> Does anyone know if the Deluge daemon runs as a user?
[05:39] <Agent001> I'm still at a lost of what font to use for ubuntu

[05:55] <bhaskar> Dr_Willis i have slow internet via dial up so what i do i use two connection one for host and one for slave os, i uses one for downloading and one for browsing. i use vmware in xp
[05:55] <A_New_Server> Dr_Willis, thanks.
[05:55] <DasEi> A_New_Server: linux is a different system, but /usr/bin might be what you look for
[05:55] <DasEi> Shoggoth: de-install and configure /etc/interfaces
[05:56] <Shoggoth> DasEi: what package should I de-install?
[05:56] <Agent001> AbhiJit, what do you use ubuntu for?
[05:56] <A_New_Server> DasEi, yes that was :} Thanks
[05:56] <AbhiJit> Agent001, come in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:56] <Shoggoth> just the gnome-applet?
[05:56] <DasEi> Shoggoth: try : sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manager*   --dry run
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> bhaskar:  dont think it matters.. Virtualbox can easially use the Host machines network connection.  I dont see the point in trying to get vbox to use a specific network. Unless you are refering to using 2 Dialup Modems.. that would be just.. old-skool...
[05:57] <DasEi> Shoggoth: that won't do anything but tell you would would be removed, output ?
[05:57] <Shoggoth> yes... 4 packages
[05:57] <Shoggoth> I'm assuming I can safely get rid of all 4
[05:58] <Shoggoth> network-manager* network-manager-gnome* network-manager-pptp* network-manager-pptp-gnome*
[05:58] <bhaskar> Dr_willis ya i am using two dial ups can any software that can help me use both of them i would be grateful
[05:58] <Dr_Willis> bhaskar:  no idea. Ive not used dialup in years.
[05:59] <Dr_Willis> bhaskar:  ages ago ther ewas a way to bond/bind  the 2 togheter i recall. but never tried.
[05:59] <Shoggoth> DasEi: network-manager* network-manager-gnome* network-manager-pptp* network-manager-pptp-gnome*
[05:59] <zhill29> Can someone please help me change my login screen for ubuntu 10.10 someone sent me a link a while back to install a gdm manager but it didn't work.
[05:59] <bhaskar> thanks Dr_Willis willl ask someone else
[06:00] <DasEi> Shoggoth: so that would work, before (you still want connectivity) we look at your config :
[06:00] <AbhiJit> zhill29, i told you to use gdm2setup
[06:00] <Dr_Willis> zhill29:  depends on what you want to change. You can tweak the theme/settings a little bit.  theres also some alternative GDM screens in the repos.
[06:00] <DasEi> Shoggoth: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/network/interfaces
[06:01] <DasEi> Shoggoth: that returns a url, give it here
[06:01] <bhaskar> Help! anyone having idea how to use two dial ups simultaneously
[06:01] <bhaskar> ubuntu10.10
[06:01] <bhaskar> user
[06:01] <zhill29> AbhiJit : thats what i tried but the install didn't work, i even tried copy and pasting the install commands directly from the site you sent me.
[06:01] <AbhiJit> zhill29, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-do-you-change-the-boot-splash-screen-image-for-10-04-lucid-lynx.html
[06:01] <Shoggoth> DasEi: http://pastebin.com/tTXdwrdD
[06:01] <AbhiJit> zhill29, you just need to download the .deb package and then double click and install it. btw now see that another link
[06:02] <zhill29> Dr_Willis I want to be able to download the gdm themes from gnome-look and install them
[06:02] <AbhiJit> zhill29, also try art manager its in software center
[06:02] <Shoggoth> DasEi: sweet... never seen pastebinit before.. nice
[06:02] <DasEi> Shoggoth: how do you connect ?
[06:02] <DasEi> ifconfig tells you
[06:02] <Shoggoth> currently eth0 is connected
[06:03] <Shoggoth> but I want to bridge eth0 and eth1 together into br0
[06:03] <greezmunkey> bhaskar: you would have to bond the modems using ml-ppp, but the issue is that unless your ISP is going to bond thoes two dialup connections at their end, it will not do you any good to do the work at your end.
[06:03] <DasEi> Shoggoth: bound nics ?
[06:03] <Shoggoth> I've done it b4 on a solaris box but the NetworkManager thing confused the #$^%& out of me
[06:04] <DasEi> Shoggoth: and does eth0 get the ip by dhcp ?
[06:04] <Shoggoth> at the moment yes.. but I want to set it static for the bridge interface
[06:04] <Shoggoth> ie. when I'm done I don't want either eth0 or eth1 to have an address at all
[06:04] <Shoggoth> just br0
[06:05] <DasEi> Shoggoth: so can remove nm then , afterwards we have to do the rest
[06:05] <Shoggoth> ok... well nm is gone already :)
[06:05] <Shoggoth> so the rest ....
[06:06] <Dr_Willis> zhill29:  a great many themes at gnome-look are for the older gdm1. not gdm2.  theres a few gdm2 themes out there. but not a lot.
[06:07] <Dravekx> Can someone tell me what the purpose of 10.10 is (since the LTS version is the better way to go) ... or is it?
[06:07] <Shoggoth> DasEi: did I need to reboot after installing bridge-utils?
[06:07] <yagoo> Dravekx, the purpose is in the number itself.
[06:08] <javiker> hola
[06:08] <Dr_Willis> Dravekx:  better or not. depends on your needs.
[06:09] <javiker> hay alguien aqui?
[06:09] <DasEi> Shoggoth: ah, via utils, I was just diiiging the manual for ifaces; no, but goto restart network
[06:09] <Henry_> Hi room

[06:10] <DasEi> Shoggoth:but be aware in case of failure will have no connection
[06:10] <Henry_> Im trying to divide the ntfs and ubuntu partition...where is that scroller thing to adjust the size?
[06:10] <javiker> hi im from mexico
[06:10] <Henry_> Im using 10.10 live cd
[06:10] <Shoggoth> DasEi: I think I've managed to get it working... but I'm going to do a reboot to make sure that it works from the get go
[06:10] <javiker> and a want to know so much about linux
[06:10] <DasEi> Shoggoth:sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[06:10] <Shoggoth> DasEi: thanks for your help
[06:10] <javiker> hey
[06:10] <Shoggoth> DasEi: restarting networking didn't work I had to do a ifup br0
[06:11] <javiker> my OS dont cant install emese
[06:11] <javiker> i need your help
[06:11] <javiker> mm  ok
[06:11] <javiker> well
[06:11] <javiker> bye
[06:12] <Shoggoth> DasEi: /etc/init.d/networking restart doesn't bring the bridge up... I have to do a ifup br0 manually each time
[06:13] <Shoggoth> DasEi: how to fix?
[06:13] <Henry_> It says allocare drive space by dragging the divider below.....what divider... I dont see any!!
[06:13] <Guest39397> whats a good sit to get a mida player for back track
[06:14] <skylar_> Would someone mind answering a simple question that I can't figure out?
[06:14] <greezmunkey> DasEi: So...if one of the ethernet links goes down the bridge fails...is that correct?
[06:14] <bazhang> Guest39397, Ask in backtrack support  #backtrack-linux
[06:14] <Guest39397> why u got ping
[06:14] <skylar_> How does one change the login screen? Downloading from http://art.gnome.org/  and on 10.10.
[06:14] <Guest39397> lol
[06:14] <Lavagolemking1> I have a fresh default Ubuntu 10.04 installation that keeps trying to automatically upgrade to 10.10. Is this supposed to happen?
[06:14] <AbhiJit> ahhh
[06:15] <nimbiotics> hello all. Ive got a brother multi function printer for which I've installed all the drivers and software found at the brother linux driver homepage. Now the pc-fax utility is LAME to say the least. is there any pc-fax software i can use for my printer?? TIA!
[06:15] <AbhiJit> skylar_, this is final: use ubuntu tweak
[06:15] <skylar_> Lavalgolemking, you can turn that off in update manager.
[06:15] <Dr_Willis> skylar_:  GDM2 is not as themeable as gdm1 was. theres a few easy tweaks  you can do to it to change a few things.  But it depend son what you want to change.
[06:15] <DasEi> greezmunkey: if bridge-utils just does bonding, nom the other keeps up
[06:15] <Guest39397> on black track bro lol
[06:15] <Henry_> Dr_Willis: Hi
[06:15] <bazhang> Guest39397, stop that
[06:16] <Dr_Willis> skylar_:  i would imagine that Most of the themes youa re finding are for GDM1. and not useable with GDM2.
[06:16] <Lavagolemking1> skylar_: How do I disable that?
[06:17] <Henry_> Dr_Willis: I am trying to run half windows and ubuntu on the same hardrive... I am on the live and its ready to install..I am at the part where it says "Allocate Drive Spce" it says "allocate drive space by dragging the divider below.....but there is no divider here!!
[06:17] <bhaskar> i connect one dial via wvdial one with network manager can i control specific program to run from internet from one dial up and other via other
[06:17] <Guest39397> tis side really dont like helping
[06:17] <Guest39397> lol
[06:17] <Dr_Willis> Henry_:  click down there and se eif it appears. I tend to resize windows partions from within windows. so i have 'unallocated' space. and i just tell the installer to 'use unallocated space'
[06:18] <skylar_> Open update manager, settings, should be an option to turn off OS updates or whatnot.
[06:18] <greezmunkey> DasEi: that makes the most sense for setting up a redundant ethernet connection. If you want higher bw then go gigE, right!
[06:18] <Guest39397> ya uno
[06:18] <HRPufnstuf> randy@randy-desktop:~/java$ jre-6u22-linux-i586.bin
[06:18] <HRPufnstuf> bash: jre-6u22-linux-i586.bin: command not found
[06:18] <Henry_> Dr_Willis: I found it
[06:18] <Henry_> it was that middle thingy
[06:19] <HRPufnstuf> why won't java install with su?
[06:19] <skylar_> update manager, settings, release upgrades, click LTS releases only.
[06:19] <zhill29> AbhiJit i tried gdm2setup but i cant get it to install, and the .deb wont open
[06:19] <skylar_> Crystal Castles makes upgrades go by so much faster..
[06:20] <Lavagolemking> I would like to stay with the LTS version, and I can't find anyplace Ubuntu 10.10 is mentioned.
[06:20] <DasEi> greezmunkey: it also increases the bandwith
[06:20] <maco> Lavagolemking: system -> admin -> software sources. should be a dropdown to pick between lts-only or all-new-releases
[06:20] <skylar_> You don't want 10.10 to be showing up as a needed update, yea?
[06:20] <Guest39397> f
[06:20] <skylar_> ^ Shorter path to same result
[06:20] <Lavagolemking> skylar_: It's actually automatically running the upgrade tool, and I keep having to cancel it.
[06:21] <Dr_Willis> LTS versions i think default to only Updateing/upgrading to the next LTS. Unless you tell it other wize.
[06:21] <maco> Dr_Willis: thats what i thought too
[06:21] <maco> Lavagolemking: are you sure its not just installing your regular updates then?
[06:21] <AbhiJit> no its not.
[06:22] <Dr_Willis> system -> admin -> update manager -> Settings buton.
[06:22] <AbhiJit> i get notice to upgrade to upgrade to maverick each time. and i havent messed up with update settings
[06:22]  * Lavagolemking takes a few screenshots
[06:22] <nikolam> I get this: WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
[06:22] <nikolam>   dnsmasq Install these packages without verification [y/N]? ^C
[06:22] <JackyChao> anyone who knows which type of fection is supported in ubuntu
[06:22] <Dr_Willis> 'updates tab' -> Show New Disrtbution releases - LTS Only.
[06:23] <skylar_> For anyone that ran the updates on GIMP, how long did it take to apply changes?
[06:23] <skylar_> It's taking forever for me.
[06:23] <DasEi> Shoggoth: I just looked it up : yo wanted a switch functionality and not just a redunant, higher throughput ? bonding is not bridging
[06:23] <Dr_Willis> AbhiJit:  did you do a clean install of the last LTS version?   It may be you upgraded and thats why its still asking.
[06:24] <AbhiJit> Dr_Willis, clean install. i think i messed up with settings. i remember to change it.
[06:24] <AbhiJit> ;0
[06:24] <AbhiJit> :)
[06:24] <AbhiJit> JackyChao, what is 'fection'?
[06:24] <bhaskar> !com
[06:24] <Dr_Willis> since 10.10 is the first relase since the last LTS. i see a dozen people in here a week wanting to upgrade to 10.10 and not being able to do it. :)
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> since the default is to go LTS -> LTS only.
[06:25] <bhaskar> !port
[06:25] <AbhiJit> yah
[06:26] <MrAnthrope> I installed an icon theme pack thing and I like it except it turned my ubuntu logo in the upper left hand corner of the screen into an 'e' for no reason in particular. http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/4meZEavuH1KRjRW7EvKmTb4nKPHJZ0b_lu_28BuXo-8?feat=directlink
[06:26] <MrAnthrope> Is there any way to change JUST that?
[06:27] <JackyChao> AbhiJit, a tool for chat developed by China Mobile
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> MrAnthrope:  i recall the ubuntu tweak tool. let you change just that icon. but that often only worked for specific themes.
[06:27] <MrAnthrope> gah
[06:27] <MrAnthrope> I've got Ubuntu Tweak lemme see...
[06:27] <AbhiJit> ok
[06:28] <Lavagolemking> skylar_: http://go.osu.edu/dist
[06:29] <saji89> MrAnthrope: This link has the solution for you- http://www.art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4796829
[06:29] <Lavagolemking> Pops up automatically. I installed from the CD (right out of the purple case) maybe 1-2 weeks ago.
[06:30] <nimbiotics> Hello all. I've got a Brother multi function printer for which I've installed all the drivers and software found at the brother linux driver homepage. Now the pc-fax utility is VERY LAME to say the least. Is there any pc-fax software i can use for my printer?? TIA!
[06:31] <MrAnthrope> haha awesome :)
[06:31] <MrAnthrope> You rock, saji89.
[06:31] <saji89> MrAnthrope: No problem. :)
[06:31] <matthewg42> I want to get a list of fixes/updates which have been applied to the fglrx package.  I only just installed it, and I don't know how to ask apt/dpkg to tell me historical changes.
[06:32] <red2kic> matthewg42: "aptitude changelog fglrx" ?
[06:33] <matthewg42> red2kic: I got to this in the manual page just as you said it!
[06:33] <matthewg42> thanks!
[06:33] <linuxrunner> how can you change your session in 10.10?
[06:33] <matthewg42> pity there have been no updates since I last tried it...  I was hoping resume might have been fixed  :(
[06:33] <red2kic> You're welcome. hoho
[06:33] <Dr_Willis> nimbiotics:  check the package manager for 'fax' software yet?
[06:34] <AbhiJit> linuxrunner, which session?
[06:34] <red2kic> linuxrunner: Log out. I presume.
[06:34] <Dr_Willis> linuxrunner:  you mean select KDE instead of gnome and so on? the GDM screen has a menu after you select your user. at the bottom.
[06:34] <DasEi> matthewg42: for apt need apt-log or a bash-scrpt, but dpkg has : /var/lib/dpkg/info
[06:34] <linuxrunner> That means I have to turn off auto login then?
[06:34] <Lavagolemking> Any ideas?
[06:35] <saji89> linuxrunner: Which is your current Ubuntu version?
[06:35] <linuxrunner> Maverick
[06:35] <matthewg42> desti: thanks!
[06:35] <red2kic> linuxrunner: Not really. You can log out right now and select a different session after autologin.
[06:36] <saji89> linuxrunner: So its Ubuntu 10.10, so you'll login to 10.10 in the usual way.
[06:36] <linuxrunner> When I click on my name in GDM, it auto-loads.  No chance to change anything.
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> linuxrunner:  it  rembers your last selected.. logout. change.. its the default.
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> linuxrunner:  check menu items at the bottom.  You have your set up with no password or somthing?
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> linuxrunner:  wha tare you wanting it to change to?
[06:36] <linuxrunner> Lubuntu
[06:37] <Dr_Willis> the .dmrc file has the default linuxrunner . but i dont know what to chang it to select Lubuntu.
[06:37] <saji89> linuxrunner: I think it may be beacuse you don't have a password. Usually you're shown the options when you click on your name and you're prompted to enter your password.
[06:37] <Dr_Willis>  #lubuntu may know
[06:38] <linuxrunner> I have a password, but I have auto-login set under admin > Login Screen
[06:38] <DasEi> tempeldirne: pm you ?
[06:38] <Dr_Willis> ive never noticed GDM auto-logging in when i just select a user.. ive always had to enter a password.   it would Login the first time automatically. but after i logged out. it would wask
[06:39] <saji89> linuxrunner: Auto login means you're happy with the surrent settings. If you need any change in it, disable auto login, chnage the ones you need to, via gdm and then enable auto login again.
[06:39] <Dr_Willis> I think theres other autologin settings that may change teh bahaivor.
[06:39] <tempeldirne> DasEi, hm?
[06:39] <linuxrunner> Alright, so auto-login has to be disabled.  At least I know..
[06:40] <saji89> linuxrunner: Yep try it. SO what is it exactly that you want to change in the GDM options?
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> acually the Login Tool here in System -> admin. has a pull down for what 'default window manager' to use. it seems
[06:40] <saji89> Dr_Willis: Actually linuxrunner hasn't told us what exactly he wants to change in his login behaviour.
[06:40] <linuxrunner> I don't want to change the changing the default session.
[06:41] <saji89> linuxrunner: MEans?
[06:41] <linuxrunner> I was hoping for a quick and easy way to change sessions...
[06:41] <saji89> linuxrunner: Sorry. That means?
[06:41] <saji89> linuxrunner: Ok. Now I got it. Just disable auto login and then you have your thing.. :)
[06:42] <linuxrunner> that's what I was going to do, but I just wanted to check... thanks
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> linuxrunner:  edit your users .dmrc is another way
[06:42] <saji89> linuxrunner: No problem.
[06:43] <nikolam> I get this message while trying to install dnsmasq: WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
[06:43] <nikolam>   dnsmasq Install these packages without verification [y/N]? ^C What was going on with signatures?
[06:44] <nikolam> I am on LTS but it should come from default repo, right?
[06:44] <coz_> nikolam,   did you by chance put in a repo manually?
[06:45] <coz_> nikolam,  although that package is listed in the repository  let me try to install it hold on
[06:46] <coz_> nikolam,   I just installed that package on lucid from synaptic with no errors
[06:46] <saji89> nikolam: Had you done a fresh install of the LTS or an upgrade to the LTS?
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> could be the keys got changed or the package got hacked. or somthign odd with the keyservers.
[06:47] <coz_> well it installed here with no errors
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> or it got updated. and dident get signed right.
[06:47] <saji89> Dr_Willis: coz_ Can't something have gone wrong during a distribution upgrade to the LTS?
[06:48] <coz_> saji89,  many things can go wrong with an upgrade,, I never suggest upgrades  but rather clean installs for that reason
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> saji89:  it ould i guess.. some keys didetn get signed.. but i guess one could try to install other packages an dsee if they report the same issue.
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> I rarely upgrade.
[06:48] <saji89> Dr_Willis: Ya that's a way..
[06:49] <saji89> nikolam: try installing some other package from the LTS repository and check whether it shows you the same warning.
[06:49] <coz_> yeah one out of thousands :)
[06:49] <saji89> Dr_Willis: Me too. I also do fresh install nowadays. Especially with my love for PPA's.. :)
[06:51] <al_nz1> if I have a text file list of words, like "West Avenue" on one line, how would I remove the space to just get "WestAvenue" ?
[06:52] <Dr_Willis> al_nz1:  awk, sed, tr,
[06:52] <Dr_Willis> or perl, or proberly a dozen other ways.
[06:52] <al_nz1> will google those ta
[06:53] <rww> al_nz1: sed -i 's/ //g' nameoffile
[06:53] <Dr_Willis> sed may be the easisets. google for 'sed examples' theres 1000's of pages with them
[06:53] <yagoo> Dr_Willis, or u can simply say rtfm :p
[06:53] <al_nz1> rww: ta
[06:54] <rww> -i changes the file, remove it if you just want to use stdout
[06:54] <Dr_Willis> found some '100 sed tricks' thing the other day that gave decent examples.
[06:54] <al_nz1> rww: what if I have "Able Tasman Street" and I want to remove "Street altogether and have "Able Tasman" become "AbleTasman" ?
[06:55] <Dr_Willis> al_nz1:  then you got to start scripting a littel bit. :)
[06:55] <Lavagolemking> al_nz1: sed s/West\ Avenue/WestAvenue/ NAME_OF_TEXT_FILE
[06:55] <rww> al_nz1: the format of the part inside 'quotes' is s/old thing/new thing/, and the g on the end means "replace all on the line, not just the first occurance"
[06:55] <Dr_Willis> regular explressions will also be handy tolearn.
[06:55] <yagoo> Dr_Willis, /to learn/tolearn
[06:55] <yagoo> Dr_Willis, you forgot the " " space!!
[06:56] <al_nz1> hmmm
[06:56] <Dr_Willis> sed ate it...

[06:56] <awanti> how to import .xml file from Openoffice database application
[06:56] <Aeronius> Greetings! Just (impulsively) bought a Dell Studio 1558 with 6GB RAM and an arrandale i5-460M processor. As I'm a huge Ubuntu fanboy, I really need it to work with Ubuntu. Am I in trouble?
[06:56] <yagoo> awanti, .xml file is a textfile...
[06:56] <Lavagolemking> Anyone have any ideas on getting Ubuntu to stop trying to make me upgrade away from the LTS version?
[06:57] <yagoo> Lavagolemking, turn off auto-updating?
[06:57] <red2kic> Aeronius: Use a LiveCD to test everything?
[06:57] <Aeronius> nope, it's being shipped soon
[06:57] <yagoo> Aeronius, can you spare your old machine for me :)
[06:57] <yagoo> Aeronius, some 6 gig sounds good to me there :)
[06:58] <yagoo> Aeronius, use the x86-64 ubuntu version download
[06:59] <Aeronius> I can find a couple of bug notes in the forums but they're small issues
[06:59] <al_nz1> rww: so for the second example I need scripting?
[06:59] <Aeronius> so can I assume same model number works?
[06:59] <awanti> can i import  .xml file  on ubuntu (opnen office Base)
[06:59] <Aeronius> yagoo: that was another issue I'm considering, do I do 64 bit or not?
[06:59] <Lavagolemking> yagoo: Not like they'll notice, (half of IT doesn't know what "Linux" is) but they require us to have automatic updates to be on my school's network. Automatic updates would be ideal.
[06:59] <rww> al_nz1: s/ Street//g, assuming you want all occurances of Steet gone.
[07:00] <Dr_Willis> Aeronius:  i alwyas use 64bit if the hardware supports it.
[07:00] <yagoo> Aeronius, that chip is 64bit.. might as well use the 64bit kernel
[07:00] <al_nz1> rww: the problem is the list contains streets, avenues, ways, places etc, so I want everything after the first space gone.....
[07:00] <Dr_Willis> Aeronius:  only real reason  i woudl go 32bit - is if you had some apt-cacher machine setup and  the rest of the lan is 32bit allready. :)
[07:00] <matthewg42> my flash has just this evening started playing audio about 4 octaves too low!
[07:01] <al_nz1> rww: otherwise I need to code for every road/place/street type etc
[07:01] <Dr_Willis> al_nz1:  now  you are talking in termes that 'regular expressions can use' :)
[07:01] <yagoo> Aeronius, I would recommmend leaving a reservation space for 32bit ubuntu install.. for just in case you need or having a hard time installing some bit 32bit app u need on linux
[07:01] <Aeronius> Dr_Willis: ok, so why is the download page still recommending 32bit?
[07:01] <Dr_Willis> al_nz1:  After teh first space? or Befor the first space?
[07:01] <rww> al_nz1: That's doable in sed with regular expressions, but I'm going to sleep now, so someone else can show you.
[07:01] <yagoo> Aeronius, but u can run 32bit apps on 64bit linux
[07:01] <Dr_Willis> Aeronius:  'idiot proofing'
[07:01] <awanti> not in textfile it is in microsoft .xml file
[07:01] <matthewg42> anyone else getting crazy low pitched audio with flash videos (e.g. youtube)?
[07:01] <al_nz1> rww: ok
[07:01] <al_nz1> Dr_Willis, after the space
[07:01] <netwrkspider> hi
[07:01] <matthewg42> other apps working fine...  vlc and such.
[07:01] <Dr_Willis> Aeronius:   so people that have NO idea what 64/32bit means.. download one that will at least work.
[07:01] <al_nz1> sounds like I just need to red up on sed
[07:02] <Dr_Willis> al_nz1:  sed can do that also i imagine.
[07:02] <al_nz1> red=read
[07:02] <Aeronius> I can see they're no longer saying that 64 isn't for daily use any more
[07:02] <Aeronius> that's cool
[07:02] <Dr_Willis> al_nz1:  or awk can print just the first word of each line.. but that wasent what you were asking to do earlier.
[07:02] <al_nz1> Dr_Willis, I need to manipulte this file in a number of ways...
[07:02] <yagoo> Aeronius, you can read the previous options.. it's your call.. but 64bit is the way of the future so i'd recommend installing it...
[07:03] <Aeronius> ok, ok I'll do it!
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> http://ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Marcel-Gagne-Orbiting-Planet-buntu/Stop-Apologizing-For-Linux
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> al_nz1:  AWK may be a smarter tool to use then for complex changes.
[07:03] <Aeronius> you got to understand, I take a long time to make these kind of decisions
[07:03] <awanti> plz. any budy can help me how to import microsoft excel file into Opneoffice Base
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> Aeronius:  check that url above for some inro on   the 'reccomended 32bit' astuff.
[07:04] <greezmunkey> Aeronius: yet you impulsively bought the hardware...
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> awanti:  check the OO help files/docs to see if it can be done? theres not some file -> import item in the menus?
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> awanti:  what have you even tried?
[07:05]  * yagoo would install adobe flash 64bit which came out sept20 on a new system...
[07:06] <yagoo> booya!
[07:06] <alesan> hi
[07:06] <alesan> so I am installing updating my mom's PC to ubuntu 9.10 remotely
[07:06] <coz_> awanti,  dont you want to open that with openoffice calc ?
[07:06] <matthewg42> so weird....  audio is growly and low in flash on firefox only.  I noticed an update to flash this evening.
[07:07] <alesan> now my question is: why ubuntu changes GUI and colors every time? isn't this crazy? my mom is completely lost now
[07:07] <matthewg42> chrome has it's own install of flash, right?
[07:07] <Dr_Willis> matthewg42:  i noticed a update to the 'flash installer' but im not sure if that updated flash or not
[07:07] <alesan> gdm is completely new (and much worse than before)
[07:07] <matthewg42> Dr_Willis: aha, yes
[07:07] <AbhiJit> !upgrade
[07:08] <Dr_Willis> alesan:  the users home settings shouldent have changed.. Unless i guess shes using the default theme.
[07:08] <alesan> Dr_Willis, no ok but now the window frame is a different color and gdm is completely different
[07:08] <Dr_Willis> alesan:  theres been a move to gdm2, and other changes. yes.
[07:08] <alesan> is 10.04 much different from 9.10?
[07:08] <Dr_Willis> alesan:  yes.
[07:09] <alesan> I usu kubuntu myself and I have my own problems with kde4
[07:09] <greezmunkey> heh
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> kubuntu 10.10 is VERY nice and useable.
[07:09] <alesan> Dr_Willis, I am not even tihnking to go to 10.10
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> lots of nice new features and stability now. Ive rarely seen a crash in it. (i cant even think of any i have seen)
[07:09] <alesan> I will stay with the LTS version
[07:09] <matthewg42> I uninstalled flashplugin-installer and reinstalled it.  fresh .mozilla directory & deleted ~/.macromedia... still same thing.  weird!
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> I dont see much to gain from a home/desktop use sticking to LTS. but do what you want.
[07:10] <alesan> so I was asking if 10.04 is not much different than 9.10 or if I will find surprises
[07:10] <awanti> actually i was using ms access i have saved all files now i am unable to open that ms database files in Ubuntu. Now i am trying to import that  .xml whiles
[07:10] <Aeronius> greezmunkey: You're right, I impulsively bought the hardware, for around 608 bucks. I'll bet you would too...
[07:10] <awanti> .xml files
[07:10] <alesan> Dr_Willis, the problem is that every 6 months or so, if you do not upgrade, you get warnings all the time the system is not update anymore
[07:10] <alesan> and my mom freaks out
[07:10] <alesan> and I live on another continent
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> alesan:  you could  disable the warnings i guess.
[07:11] <alesan> Dr_Willis, and keep a system not updated? will you repeat that when some ubuntu op is around?
[07:11] <coz_> alesan,  ah   well in all honesy I reverted to back to 10.04 LTS  for sound drivers reasons  otherwise i would be on 10.10
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> alesan:  theres a setting to automatically install security updated if you want.
[07:11] <greezmunkey> alesan: so setup remote access into the box so you can help her out while you are away. That may make her feel better aboutit.
[07:11] <alesan> Dr_Willis, on 9.04?
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> whats the point in a warning if shes trained to hit 'cancle' all the time.
[07:12] <iflema> alesan put ya old girl on a LTS release... 10.04 is a LTS.... 3 years stay same give/take....
[07:12] <alesan> greezmunkey, of course I setup a ssh tunnel for vnc
[07:12] <alesan> iflema, exactly, that is what I will do
[07:12] <greezmunkey> alesan: there you are :)
[07:12] <matthewg42> solved it, in a very weird way... firefox's volume was not at 100% in kmix (I'm using kubunbu), as soon as I changed the volume, the sound corruption fixed itself.  I suspect a problem with pulse.
[07:12] <coz_> awanti,  see if any of these open with open office    http://www.exinfm.com/free_spreadsheets.html
[07:12] <alesan> and every three years I hope to visit home :)
[07:13] <alesan> my mom uses the PC for two things: skype and firefox
[07:14] <alesan> !skype
[07:14] <WXZ> how do I change the icon on a custom places link
[07:15] <WXZ> I changed the icon of the folder already
[07:15] <iflema> alesan 10.04 will do both those tasks... and a nice new ui change... and buttons can go back on the right if you wish ;)
[07:15] <greezmunkey> alesan: there are hardware skype phones available now, pretty cheap too. Set her up with one of those, and half of your issues are solved.
[07:15] <alesan> iflema, nooo 10.04 is the one that is like a MAC?
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> I got a skype phone that uses wifi.  - Dont need a pc. just a router.
[07:15] <alesan> greezmunkey, the quality of those phones is very low
[07:15] <alesan> they do not have the webcam
[07:16] <iflema> alesan you can click a couple o time and have it look like karmic 9.10 no dramas
[07:16] <alesan> nor the chat, that is the one we use most often :)
[07:16] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis: exactly, and video calling in a dedicated hardware device is already here as well.
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> talking to people in a little bitty video window.. makes it so much nicer. :)
[07:16] <alesan> iflema, my mom liked the most the look of... mh what was before the one before the animal with horns?
[07:16] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis: get two - one for each eye.
[07:17] <alesan> Dr_Willis, my mom does not have wifi
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> break down and get her a $30 router then. :)
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> wife carried the Skype phone to the store the other day.. frogot it wasent a cell phone.
[07:17] <shmup> rofl
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> dident work to good once wh3e was out of range. :)
[07:17] <Gerwin> alesan: The animal with horns would be Intrepid Ibex :x?
[07:18] <alesan> she has the PC connected with ethernet to a 5GHz powerstation and has a link of 10km to the top of a nearby mountain where the signal bounces back to the city and gets internet access
[07:18] <Dr_Willis> !ibex
[07:18] <shmup> so, on windows i'm used to using winscp, and when editing a file, and saving, it automatically uploads.
[07:18] <alesan> Gerwin, yes, what was the one before that
[07:18] <netwrkspider> dr.. Install skype on ur mobile no need to buy skype phone
[07:18] <shmup> i'm looking for something similar on ubuntu. firezilla, gftp, none of these will automatically upload. any ideas?
[07:18] <Dr_Willis> netwrkspider:  she dont like the fancy new phones.. :)
[07:19] <alesan> h... what was the ubuntu version beginning with h...
[07:19] <Silicone> interesting thinks pages from ubuntu doe's load as it should... why? tried 2 browsers already
[07:19] <netwrkspider> dr : lol
[07:19] <Gerwin> alesan: Hardy Hedgehog
[07:19] <Gerwin> !hardy > alesan
[07:19] <Gerwin> Hmm
[07:19] <Gerwin> Sorry for that
[07:19] <Dr_Willis> shmup:  you could always mount  the remopte location via the sshfuse or fusessh tools,  and then the ssh remote appears as a local directory. so ANY app can do  that.
[07:19] <Silicone> doesn't
[07:19] <coz_> shmup,   I believe winscp works under wine
[07:19] <shmup> yeah Dr_Willis, someone did recommend that to me.
[07:20] <alesan> yes hardy was the one she liked best: fast, easy, no things
[07:20] <alesan> ok
[07:20] <hp> ai
[07:20] <shmup> and coz_ actually it does, but i'm relatively new, and having a hard time specifying gvim as the editor
[07:20] <shmup> from within winscp
[07:20] <shmup> i could browse for it, but i can't find where gvim is ~.~
[07:20] <veovis1> shmup: I'm having trouble with the name, but I remember something that could do that
[07:20] <alesan> anyway: somebody has a link how to reset the intercae of 10.04 to a normal one? I need that before I start :)
[07:20] <shmup> rack that brain, veovis1 :D
[07:20] <alesan> interface
[07:20] <coz_> shmup,  how about grsync
[07:20] <WXZ> how do you change an icon in the places menu
[07:20] <Dr_Willis> shmup:  you got xming or somtning setup  on the windows box to display gvim?
[07:20] <xangua> alesan: normal interface¿
[07:20] <coz_> shmup,  or
[07:21] <shmup> gvim is also on windows
[07:21] <coz_> shmup, from the gnome panel, go to Places -> 'Connect to Server'. you can select ssh to connect to the server. then just use nautilus.
[07:21] <xangua> WXZ: change the icon theme
[07:21] <benji_> Hi, how ubuntu is supposed to be used concerning the major upgrades ? The preferred way is to reinstall the whole OS ? (I am running Karmic Koala and the support for it ends in April)
[07:21] <shmup> i didn't like that method, coz. not sure why. i might try what doc said, and mount.
[07:21] <iflema> !controls | alesan
[07:21] <alesan> iflema, do you have a reference on how to do that?
[07:21] <alesan> thanks!
[07:21] <WXZ> xangua: it's a custom places link
[07:21] <shmup> but i'll also look into what you recommended.
[07:21] <xangua> benji_: upgradee to lucid lynx
[07:21] <shmup> grsync
[07:21] <benji_> xangua, how do you do that?
[07:21] <WXZ> xangua: so even if I change the theme, it'll still look like a "normal" folder
[07:21] <coz_> shmup,    http://themediahost.de/secpanel/
[07:22] <xangua> benji_: just open the update manager, should be aviable since a long time ago
[07:22] <Silicone> So, somebody knows what it might be? Doesn't load pages as it should... no graphic.. but not all pages.. that is strange.
[07:22] <benji_> xangua, ok, I'll do that after my aptitude dist-upgrade, thanks
[07:23] <shmup> ooo
[07:23] <shmup> it's in my repository, too.
[07:23] <shmup> checking that out, coz_.
[07:23] <coz_> shmup,  also  if you click the Places menu  there should be a Connect to server entry
[07:23] <shmup> oh, there is.
[07:23] <shmup> i did try that. i'd like to know more about mounting.
[07:24] <shmup> what doc recommended.
[07:24] <erez_> hello
[07:24] <shmup> but sec, trying secpanel :D
[07:24] <Dr_Willis> !info sshfs
[07:24] <coz_> shmup,   or  use filezilla, with port 22
[07:24] <shmup> naw
[07:24] <shmup> filezilla doesnt auto-upload when you save a file
[07:24] <shmup> that you're editing through it
[07:24] <erez_> I'm trying to use LyX under ubuntu 10.10, netbook edition => unity
[07:24] <shmup> it notifies you that the file changed, and asks if you want to replace it. every. time.
[07:24] <iflema> alesan avoid the 3d drivers for ATI and Nvidia... if those graphic cards apply to the setup... just go with the 2d open options = the splash screen will work ;)
[07:24] <coz_> erez_,  how is that going ?
[07:25] <Dr_Willis> Ill stick with my Nvidia drivers.. and disable the splash screen. :)
[07:25] <erez_> coz_: so-so. The software works OK, but the menubar is gone, and whenever I type Ctrl+f, The whole Unity interface crashes
[07:25] <alesan> iflema, I think she has an integrated intel or something
[07:25] <erez_> QVariantMap DBusMenuExporterDBus::GetProperties(int, const QStringList&): Condition failed: action
[07:26] <erez_> I'm guessing QT apps don't play nice with Unity?
[07:26] <coz_> erez_, oooo  yeah on a netbook that would be painful actually
[07:26] <coz_> erez_,  let me check something ,,,hold on
[07:26] <digitalfiz> is there a way to see what chipset i have in terminal?
[07:26] <erez_> coz_: appreciated
[07:26] <Dr_Willis> digitalfiz:  lspci  perhaps.
[07:26] <awanti> can i install microsoft access in Ubuntu pc through wine.
[07:26]  * erez_ feels like a windows user that can't run office
[07:27] <erez_> or a *nix user that can't run VI/EMACS ;)
[07:27] <coz_> erez_<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[07:27] <Silicone> awanti, think so...
[07:27] <awanti> silicone I didn't get you!
[07:27] <erez_> coz_: You're a life saver
[07:27] <panik> I hate VI
[07:27] <Silicone> awanti, you shoul try...
[07:28] <Silicone> should*
[07:28] <coz_> erez_,   i remember seeing this post at one point:)
[07:28] <coz_> erez_,  let me know if it works well
[07:28] <coz_> erez_,  actually something like that should work for all of the qt apps  I would guess
[07:28] <digitalfiz> Dr_Willis, no :/ well at least not that i can tell. I know I have an nforce chipset so im looking for that
[07:28] <alesan> ok wonderful after the upgrade to 9.10 skype gives a "audio playback problem"
[07:28] <erez_> coz_: Just tested, works perfectly
[07:28] <coz_> erez_,  are you liking lyx?  I personally use it here ,,,
[07:28] <alesan> how can I debug this
[07:29] <coz_> erez_,  very very cool :)
[07:29] <erez_> coz_: Yes, I use it for anything that isn't strict coding
[07:29] <erez_> although for presentation I use straight LaTeX with beamer
[07:30] <coz_> erez_,  cool
[07:30] <droopal> hi, I upgraded to 10.10 a couple of weeks ago, fresh install. Problem is, I have just gone to play some videos that I was able to play on 10.04 and can no longer play them. Anybody got any ideas?

[07:35] <punkmexic> anyone knows a program or web app that can make this effect? http://i55.tinypic.com/jrvf3l.jpg
[07:35] <lolzer> does sdcc have a GUI version for ubuntu???
[07:35] <iflema> Dr_Willis I agree... 10.10 Kubuntu is great... two thumbs up here... feelhttp://i55.tinypic.com/jrvf3l.jpgs like im back home again ;)
[07:38] <punjani> hi
[07:38] <Silicone> hi
[07:39] <punjani> how to use twitter from this?
[07:39] <_jesse_> punkmexic: there may be some gimp module that does that

[07:39] <_jesse_> oops
[07:39] <_jesse_> * punjani ^^
[07:40] <punjani> i mean using twitter from the irc client
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> theres proberly dozens of twitter clients out there. I thought one was built in to the gnome/empathy thing.
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> ive seen twitter scrupts/plugins for some irc clients also.
[07:40] <viddy> bitlbee has twitter from the irc-client
[07:40] <punkmexic> i want to make wallpaper with other words instead of twitter<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[07:41] <coz_> punjani,  http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-linux-twitter-clients/

[07:41] <webresourc> Good morning ! :)
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> archana8763:  I think by default apache dosent 'follow links' for security reasons. chek the apace configs/settings perhaps.
[07:41] <webresourc> some help please for somethink may simple
[07:41] <webresourc> how can I change the permission of a folder and sub folders of it to be writable ?
[07:42] <Dr_Willis> writeable by who? and what folder?

[07:42] <droopal> Hi I am back again, just installed Ubuntu Restricted Extras, and tried to view a dvd, and the bod comes up to say its recognised that a dvd has been put in the player, and askes what I want to open. I choose movie player and it says #error occurred - could not read from source' anybody know what that means?
[07:42] <archana8763> Dr_Willis,  where is that menu? I am just trying to transfer files via my wireless modem to another laptop from this desktop... I don't have a server.
[07:42] <webresourc> I have create a project under /var/www/phpbb.nik/www
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> droopal:  could be you need to install the decss stuff to play a comercial dvd.
[07:43] <webresourc> and I try to connect that project on NetBeans
[07:43] <webresourc> but betbeans says that the directory is not writable
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> archana8763:  personally i would install openssh on the machines and use scp. or samba.
[07:43] <droopal> Dr_Willis: what does that mean? Havent had that problem before. Worked ok on 10.04
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> droopal:  this is a comercial dvd?
[07:44] <droopal> yes it is
[07:44] <webresourc> any idea please ?
[07:44] <droopal> how do I install decss?
[07:44] <Dr_Willis> http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/enable-dvd-video-playback
[07:44] <Dr_Willis> that guide may be out of date for 10.10 - but its the same stuff as in 10.04 i think
[07:44] <archana8763> Dr_Willis, Actually , this method worked on previous ubunt... but not in this... At that time, i just isntaleld apache,  created symbolic link, shared a directory... but not now... :(
[07:45] <droopal> ok, thank you, will give it a try, if I can work it out.
[07:46] <webresourc> I did that chmod -R +w ./www/

[07:47] <Dr_Willis> punkmexic:  check out the hundreds of gimp plugins that exist perhaps.
[07:48] <punkmexic> http://gimpfx-foundry.sourceforge.net/
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> MalelDraconis:  perhaps through meebo.com ?
[07:48] <punkmexic> these ones?
[07:48] <MalelDraconis> will try, any other ideas?
[07:48] <droopal> ok, just tried that, have to reboot again, brb
[07:50] <archana8763> can anyone help me with apache symbolic link?
[07:52] <nomad99> MalelDraconis: try this maybe http://ubuntusite.com/gyachie-yahoo-messenger-for-linux/
[07:52] <sparr> archana8763: you're going to have to be a lot more specific
[07:53] <archana8763> sparr, i want to share a ntfs drive with a symboliv link in /vaw/www/share... the browser says 403 forbidden no p[ermission error.
[07:54] <sparr> does the user under which your apache process runs have read permission to the ntfs drive?
[07:54] <archana8763> sparr, Yes, from this useraccount, I can open, edit , delete all the files in the ntfs drives..
[07:54] <Dr_Willis> NTFS adds a whole new layer of issues.. :)
[07:54] <sparr> is there an entry in error_log for the attempt?
[07:54] <sparr> have you tried #httpd ?
[07:55] <Dr_Willis> archana8763:  you might need to mount the ntfs via fstab. so the uid/gid/umask can be set to allow ALL users full access.
[07:55] <archana8763> sparr, where is the error_log file in my ubuntu?
[07:55] <Dr_Willis> archana8763:  also that would mount the ntfs at boot time. Not on 'first access' by a user.
[07:56] <sparr> probably /var/log/httpd but maybe /var/log/apache or /var/log/apache2
[07:56] <nomad99> MalelDraconis: try here https://launchpad.net/~loell/+archive/ppa
[07:57] <archana8763> sparr, first two files are empty. third one does not exist.
[07:57] <archana8763> Dr_Willis, I once had all my ntfs drives in fstab and it only made the boot-time tooo slow. :(
[07:57] <sparr> then "httpd -S" to find the config file, edit the config file to find the log directory
[07:58] <archana8763> httpd -S says no command found.
[07:58] <archana8763> Dr_Willis, and with lot of error mesasges/
[07:59] <archana8763> sparr, I did the same method in 10.4 and it just worked..  After adding symbolic link, I was able to access from my laptop...
[07:59] <sparr> then find the httpd binary and try again
[08:00] <shmup> i keep forgetting i'm in this channel :P
[08:00] <shmup> how do i mv hidden files?
[08:00] <shmup> i did a mv dir/* .
[08:00] <shmup> and it moved all of 'em except the hidden ones :3
[08:00] <chagroy> hello
[08:00] <archana8763> sparr, No, i did not upgrade to maverik,..  I fresh installed it..
[08:01] <_jesse_> shmup: hidden files should be moved too provided you have the required permissions
[08:01] <droopal> Hi, that worked, brilliant. Just one question, I need to copy a few films to my netbook, which doesnt have a dvd player, I was just wondering, how can I copy to a external hd?
[08:01] <shmup> i'm ssh'd in as root~
[08:01] <droopal> Travelling today,
[08:01] <_jesse_> shmup: shouldn't have an issue then
[08:01] <shmup> weird
[08:01] <shmup> maybe mv dir/* .
[08:01] <shmup> the * ?
[08:01] <archana8763> sparr, Are you there?
[08:01] <shmup> would it not pick up a .htaccess file
[08:02] <_jesse_> shmup: let me try
[08:02] <xuekan> !Great Firewall of China
[08:02] <Aeronius> Have you guys seen this? 32v64 bit... http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_32_pae&num=5
[08:02] <sparr> archana8763: you lost me at not being able to find the httpd binary
[08:02] <xuekan> !GFW
[08:03] <Aeronius> !noob
[08:03] <_jesse_> shmup: ha you're right, the * doesn't pick them up
[08:03] <Aeronius> lol
[08:03] <_jesse_> shmup: .* does
[08:03] <archana8763> sparr, I am just a 'user'.. I don't understand the finding binary :(
[08:03] <shmup> thanks sir :)
[08:04] <sparr> Aeronius: makes sense
[08:04] <Dr_Willis> archana8763:  I Got my ntfs in fstab. and no boot time differances, and no messages.
[08:04] <shmup> mv: cannot move `vanilla/.' to `./.': Device or resource busy
[08:04] <shmup> mv: cannot move `vanilla/..' to `./..': Device or resource busy
[08:04] <shmup> er
[08:04] <shmup> sorry, anyways
[08:04] <Aeronius> I was pondering which to install, and now I know!
[08:04] <FloodBot1> shmup: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:04] <shmup> right
[08:04] <sparr> Aeronius: except the disk benchmark
[08:05] <_jesse_> shmup: yeah you don't want to copy . and .., just say 'n'
[08:05] <archana8763> I want to share a drive which is ntfs using symbolic link in apache.. sparr Is this possible?
[08:05] <shmup> wait, jesse
[08:05] <shmup> here can i PM you? lol
[08:05] <Aeronius> what?
[08:05] <_jesse_> shmup: haha sure
[08:05] <Aeronius> 10x tasks per second?
[08:05] <sparr> archana8763: it's definitely possible. it's not trivial. if you want easy, stop using ntfs.
[08:05] <droopal> Hi, which is the easiest way to copy a film onto an external hard drive?
[08:05] <archana8763> Dr_Willis, My ntfs drives gave many error messages when i had added it fstab.
[08:05] <sparr> droopal: cp film /media/drive
[08:05] <Dr_Willis> archana8763:  try mounting it bya hand with the ntfs.3g command and some differnt options. see if you can get iot working.
[08:06] <Dr_Willis> archana8763:  i would guess you were doing somthing wrong then.
[08:06] <Dr_Willis> droopal:  copy a file to a external hd same as you copy t anywhere else..
[08:06] <Aeronius> sparr: splain your disk benchmark comment
[08:06] <droopal> I'm copying from dvd so how would I do that, baring in mind, I am not too sure about the terminal
[08:06] <droopal> which software do I use
[08:06] <sparr> Aeronius: the 2x increase in speed on cpu-intensive tasks makes sense. the disk benchmark thing is just weird
[08:06] <archana8763> sparr, the drive is full and i have no extra space to move those files out and then to convert to another file system...
[08:06] <Dr_Willis> droopal:  you mean to ask how to 'rip' a video dvd  to a movie.avi file?
[08:07] <droopal> oh yes
[08:07] <droopal> sorry
[08:07] <sparr> droopal: you're copying a video dvd? that's a lot more complex
[08:07] <archana8763> sparr, It says no permission. how do i grant permission then?
[08:07] <Dr_Willis> droopal:  use handbreak tool is one way.
[08:07] <Dr_Willis> droopal:  k9copy also can do it.
[08:07] <droopal> where do I get those from?
[08:07] <Dr_Willis> droopal:  ogmrip and other tool in the repos can do it also.
[08:07] <sparr> archana8763: I am sorry but I can't help you any more
[08:07] <Dr_Willis> most are in the repos.. handbreak has its own site.
[08:07] <droopal> ok, will take a look, thank you. :)
[08:08] <archana8763> Dr_Willis, I actually used this : http://goo.gl/4uSD to make those ntfs drives in fstab.
[08:08] <archana8763> sparr thanks for your replies..
[08:08] <Dr_Willis> archana8763:  some times it pays to read the NTFS-3g docs/homepage/faq and learn how it works.
[08:08] <xuekan> hi, how to solve the problem of certification of the website caused by the proxy?
[08:09] <droopal> going to try ogmrip see how I get on with that. Thank you again. :)
[08:09] <sparr> xuekan: you cannot use HTTPS through a proxy without warnings
[08:10] <sparr> safely
[08:10] <Dr_Willis> droopal:  handbreak seems to work better for me.. but for dvd -> backup dvd  i use k9copy
[08:10] <justin_> Hey everyone
[08:11] <xuekan> sparr:so is that means i cann't visit that site normally with proxy?
[08:11] <droopal> Dr_Willis: will k9copy work on Ubuntu, as I am not using KDE
[08:11] <Dr_Willis> droopal:  you can easially use kde apps on gnome and visa versa...
[08:12] <Dr_Willis> k9copy and k3b -  i use all the time on gnome
[08:12] <balachmar> Hi, I have a Netgear N600 wireless router, and I have changed the SSID. On 4 out of the 6 wireless devices I was able to set up a connection. (2 of them are ubuntu machines) However, I have also 2 other ubuntu machines which still seem the see the Netgear SSID, although my other hardware does not see the netgear SSID. Can anybody help me to fix this?
[08:12] <yaramazgeyik2> do oyu prefer any altarnative program like a limewire ?
[08:12] <droopal> Dr_Willis: I didnt know that, that is useful to know, thank you. :)
[08:12] <Dr_Willis> !limewire
[08:12] <Dr_Willis> yaramazgeyik2:  try frostwire
[08:13] <yaramazgeyik2> ok i try it?
[08:13] <Dr_Willis> yaramazgeyik2:  then theres other  programs  that do the same job.
[08:13] <Dr_Willis> !p2p
[08:14] <yaramazgeyik2> Dr_Willis, yesterday i installed amule ...
[08:15] <xuekan> sparr:or if there's a way to avoid the warning to continue?i am using firefox,thanks.
[08:16] <Ellement> hey
[08:17] <sparr> xuekan: messaging people is not a good way to get help
[08:18] <xuekan> sparr:am i bothering you? if so,i am sorry for that.
[08:19] <justin_> I've just installed ubuntu 10.10 64bit, and I installed the restricted nvidia drivers, and after that my theme seems to have reverted to a much older style with the exception of the window decoration.  Any idea what might be causing that?
[08:21] <justin_> http://i.imgur.com/o9J6O.jpg
[08:21] <justin_> ^To make my issue more clear
[08:21] <Dr_Willis> justin_:  play with the theme settings. see if you can make it go to how you like. the nvida drivs shouldebnt alter the users settings at all.
[08:21] <justin_> Yeah, I realize they shouldn't alter anything
[08:21] <justin_> That's why I was concerned
[08:22] <Dr_Willis> I dont even see whats the issue in the snapshot. :)
[08:22] <justin_> I haven't been able to get anything but the window decoration to change
[08:22] <Dr_Willis> but i always tewek my theme.
[08:22] <justin_> Ahh
[08:22] <justin_> Well
[08:22] <justin_> Allow me to explain lol
[08:22] <Dr_Willis> justin_:  ive seen where for some odd reason theme settings dont change untill one logs out.
[08:22] <Dr_Willis> then they would start working again.
[08:22] <justin_> Hmm... well, I've restarted a couple times since then
[08:22] <justin_> It hasn't changed back
[08:22] <justin_> Even after messing with the appearance settings
[08:23] <Dr_Willis> Ive seen where people accidently run stuff as root and have root owned config files in their homes also.
[08:23] <Dr_Willis> see if the stuff works with a new user as a test.
[08:23] <justin_> I already did that.  No such luck
[08:23] <justin_> =/
[08:24] <Dr_Willis> so even with a new user - the settings dont change?
[08:24] <Dr_Willis> that is odd.
[08:24] <justin_> Yeah, very odd
[08:24] <justin_> =/
[08:24] <Dr_Willis> You could run    gnome-appearance-properties   from a terminal. and look for messages.
[08:24] <Dr_Willis> could also try disabling compiz as a test/
[08:25] <justin_> Hmm
[08:25] <justin_> I just disabled compiz, and I still can't get the panels or any of the other stylings to change
[08:25] <justin_> Only the window decoration
[08:25] <justin_> D:
[08:26] <justin_> No strange messages from gnome-appearance-properties either
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> you are using the settings under teh customize button? or just the theme  tool?
[08:26] <justin_> I've tried both
[08:27] <Dr_Willis> reboot! Oh wait this isent #windows ...
[08:28] <sinthetek> does anyone know how to make terminal history get saved permanently?
[08:28] <sinthetek> every time i close a terminal, my command history apparently gets deleted
[08:28] <justin_> sorry about that, xchat just stopped letting me input text .__.
[08:29] <Dr_Willis> sinthetek:  check your bash settings and the permissions of /home/USERNAME/.bash_history
[08:31] <jhanarato> hi folks :-)
[08:32] <droopal> Dr_Willis: I think its working, I am using k9copy, at least it seems to be copying directly to the external hd at the moment, I will know for definate if it has when I try to play it back.
[08:32] <palint240> pls
[08:32] <palint240> gallium?
[08:32] <palint240> chanel ?
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> droopal:  i tend to use k9cpy to make a .iso backup. vlc and other players can play those.
[08:32] <palint240> what is the chanel of gallium
[08:33] <Dr_Willis> palint240:  try #gallium

[08:39] <bagira> hi, how do I build GDM?
[08:40] <bagira> I can't get it to compile
[08:40] <Besogon> bagira, Do you want your OWN GDM?
[08:40] <arezitha> rizzuh se ha marchado (Quit: What? WAIT noooo don't pull that pl...)
[08:40] <anygivenname> I used clonzilla to move from old PC with 40GB HDD to a new PC with 500GB HDD......now in the new PC....system still reads HDD size as 40GB....what do I do ?
[08:40] <Besogon> )
[08:41] <bagira> Besogon, i imagine that would be better than a used one
[08:41] <bagira> im weird about germs
[08:41] <Silicone> yo! Skype web site does't work! It doesn't render the css or shows images!  Tried everything . Chrome FF Opera it doesn't work only here . In windows everything is workin!
[08:41] <bagira> but yeah, when I run sbopkg -i gdm, it returns "Error 1", how to fix?
[08:42] <Silicone> anygivenname, format everything! =
[08:42] <Silicone> yo! Skype web site does't work! It doesn't render the css or shows images!  Tried everything . Chrome FF Opera it doesn't work only here . In windows everything is workin!
[08:43] <SwedeMike> Silicone: !repeat
[08:43] <SwedeMike> !repeat | Silicone
[08:43] <bagira> does anyone know why sbopkg is returning an error for gdm?  after the error it's telling me that GDM is not in the slackbuilds repo
[08:43] <anygivenname> no way
[08:43] <bazhang> bagira, this is not slackware
[08:43] <bagira> bazhang, say what?
[08:43] <bazhang> bagira, wrong channel
[08:44] <bagira> wait.  I'm on slackware?
[08:44] <Silicone> doesn't any one knows why the CSS on skype web-site is not working??
[08:44] <SwedeMike> anygivenname: you have to find something that can resize your partitions as well, I'd recommend creating a new partition and copying /home there and mount it as /home
[08:44] <luca__> !list
[08:44] <Silicone> iall sites works well... except skype, youtube, hotmail
[08:44] <bagira> Ah.  THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY EVERYTHING _WORKS_!
[08:45] <bazhang> bagira, please take chat elsewhere
[08:45] <Silicone> SwedeMike so you know what can be?
[08:46] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  youmay want to use gparted to resize the partiions
[08:46] <FishFace> 1 MB/sec transferring large files from SATA drive to external USB IDE in a external case. Case is cool. Why would this be so slow?
[08:46] <Silicone> you may look how skype is displayed... http://yfrog.com/7bscreenshotsvqp
[08:46] <Dr_Willis> Im convinced.. im switching to slackware..  oh wait.. its lacking in features.. guess not. :)
[08:46] <anygivenname> Dr_Willis: will this format my existing partiion ?
[08:46] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  gparted can RESIZE existing partitions.
[08:47] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  your HD proberly looks like this --> (sda1 40gb) (a LOT of unallocated space)
[08:47] <veovis1> But be careful you do just resize
[08:47] <oliver_> hi
[08:47] <oliver_> i have got a question
[08:47] <oliver_> ich habe eine frage
[08:47] <veovis1> !ask
[08:47] <oliver_> J'ai une question
[08:47] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  youmay want to make a /home partition if you got the space now also.
[08:47] <oliver_> ok
[08:47] <oliver_> :
[08:48] <oliver_> i have got a problem with the "abhängikheitsbaum"
[08:48] <xixor> Hi everyone, a quick question.  Anyone know how I can free as much memory as possible?  I've already stopped X with sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop and I am at the console, and ubuntu is using 411MB memory still.  Anyone have suggestions on how to reduce this further?  I am trying to factor a huge matrix for some numerical analysis and I need to free up as much of my 6GB as possible... thanks! :)
[08:48] <bazhang> oliver_, english here please
[08:49] <anygivenname> how do I expand the filesystem to fill that partition without losing data ?
[08:49] <Silicone> does anybody knows what to do? when  i try to access several sites.... they are displayed this way....http://yfrog.com/evscreenshot1uyp
[08:50] <Keith-BlindUser> Hi everyone. I need some assistance. I've just rebooted into Windows in order to talk with you folks. I was messing around somehow in the sound prefferneces under system, and now I dn't get the Ubuntu drumb noise, no log-in sound, etc. No bell  or whatever in Gnome-terminal, etc. How do I fix that? And no, the mute audio isn't selected, nor is "no sound" either.
[08:50] <Silicone> from win everything works well
[08:50] <Keith-BlindUser> "Ubuntu" was selected in the theme box or whatever that is, but still  no go at all.
[08:50] <dpreacher> I've a problem with getting a freeagent drive detected and mounted on ubuntu karmic koala. details -> http://wrttn.me/953e9b/

[08:51] <anygivenname> I installed gparted....cant find it
[08:51] <bazhang> Silicone, dont repeat so often, every ten minutes or so should do
[08:51] <anygivenname> in the apps
[08:52] <Silicone> bazhang, repeated just to display link normal, so everybody can see it better
[08:52] <anygivenname> ah it went to system/adm
[08:52] <Keith-BlindUser> I was in the sound effects tab also.
[08:53] <Keith-BlindUser> When I lost the "ding" x login etc. But now it's gone. *sighs*
[08:53] <cryptodira> does anyone have the solution for making the backlit keyboard work beyond bootup ??  toshiba satellite, AMD, lucid.
[08:54] <Silicone> nobody answer
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> cryptodira:  check the forums for your exact make laptop. see if any one else has had an issue/fix's
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> Silicone:  looks like flash may be crashing or somthing.

[08:58] <Silicone> Dr_Willis, also on skype.com? they also use flash?
[09:00] <bourke> hi, how can I tell what libraries an executable is linked against?
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> Silicone:  try a differnt browser. run browsers from terminal, look for error messages.. is about all i can suggest
[09:01] <anygivenname> i installed gparted.....is there a way to expand the partition without losing data ?
[09:01] <Silicone> Dr_Willis, i tried FF, Opera, Chromium.. the same issue, from windows everything it's okay... also rune browser from terminal... how to look at error messages?
[09:02] <bazhang> anygivenname, to a disk you are current;ly using/have mounted?
[09:04] <anygivenname> bazhang: my old hdd was 40gb...my new hdd is 500gb...i used clonezilla to copy the old o the new so as to boot exactly the same....now discovered it used only 40gb out of the 500gb
[09:04] <FishFace> Silicone: I have no answer. But just asking. You see no images on any sites right?
[09:04] <Silicone> FishFace, nope, just on serveral...
[09:04] <bazhang> anygivenname, to a disk you are currently using/have mounted?
[09:04] <anygivenname> yes
[09:05] <bazhang> anygivenname, boot from livecd or gparted livecd then
[09:05] <Silicone> FishFace, also not just images are not show, site don't display items in the order as it should
[09:06] <Silicone> FishFace, http://yfrog.com/evscreenshot1uyp here you can see how it displays
[09:06] <cryptodira> Dr_Willis:  seems that plenty of folks have the backlit keyboard problem.... and not just with toshiba products.... the consensus is that disabling ACPI will allow the backlight to work... but kill plenty of other things.... is there a "rewards" program in the ubuntu world, where a bounty can be paid for a solution to this problem??
[09:06] <anygivenname> how do I create gparted livecd ?
[09:06] <FishFace> Silicone: OK. Well, good luck fixing it. If it was just Firefox I might be able to help. Since its all browsers, I don't know.
[09:06] <bazhang> anygivenname, download the iso, burn to cd
[09:06] <Silicone> FishFace, thx, will try to....
[09:07] <anygivenname> I should not lose data expanding the partition, should I ?
[09:07] <anygivenname> I mean doing it thruh bootable disk
[09:07] <bazhang> anygivenname, no guarantees, make backups if you wish to be 100% certain. boot from gparted live cd and resize
[09:10] <anygivenname> bazhang: then it is safer to just create another parttion with the unallocated 460GB
[09:10] <oren-logic> русскоговорящие есть?
[09:10] <bazhang> anygivenname, sure. both should be okay though. any time you do not backup means you are willing to part with that data.
[09:11] <bazhang> oren-logic, #ubuntu-ru
[09:11] <shmup> so when i try to stop the mysql server
[09:11] <anygivenname> bazhang: what do you mean ?
[09:11] <shmup> http://pastie.org/1312603
[09:11] <shmup> and it tells me that..
[09:12] <shmup> i then try the utility and it does nothing
[09:12] <shmup> http://pastie.org/1312606
[09:16] <anygivenname> gparted will create primary partition 458.5GB ext 2 on /dev/sda.....is this right?
[09:17] <adka> hi all.  i'll install google Earth but i got the problem on time installation, i'm got the message : xml parse error not found. please help me
[09:18] <erez_> While I'm here, I'm on Ubuntu Netbook => unity, when I click the launcher for firefox, while in firefox, it gets zoomed out a bit, and nothing else
[09:18] <erez_> IS that supposed to do anything other than that?
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> erez_:  its like showing all the firfox instances.. open a 2nd and 3rd firefox and try it again
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> it sort of 'expose's' them then you select the one you want.

[09:31] <empezando_> how i can change screen resolution 1440x900@60Hz
[09:31] <empezando_> in server with gnome basic
[09:31] <X-Sleepy-X> empezando_: /join #ubuntu-server
[09:32] <empezando_> there no one answer
[09:32] <X-Sleepy-X> empezando_: oh, you installed gnome?
[09:32] <snake> how can i get my PPPoE info?
[09:32] <empezando_> yes, basic core (it's a server)
[09:33] <X-Sleepy-X> empezando_: well then try to find some screen settings in the system > settings menu
[09:33] <empezando_> at preferences max is 1024x768
[09:33] <Beefcakes> If I want to install windows 7 and ubuntu, what should I install first ideally?
[09:33] <X-Sleepy-X> empezando_: what kind of graphics card do you have?
[09:33] <snake> Beefcakes, windows
[09:34] <rocket16> Beefcakes: Install Windows 7, and then add Ubuntu.
[09:34] <X-Sleepy-X> Beefcakes: i'd go for windows, and make sure to spare some space for ubuntu
[09:34] <empezando_> ops, one moment
[09:34] <snake> Beefcakes, if you don't ubuntu won't boot up
[09:34] <Beefcakes> what bootloader will i end up using?
[09:34] <rocket16> Beefcakes: Grub2
[09:34] <snake> Beefcakes, grub
[09:34] <Beefcakes> but does it work either way if i install ubuntu first?
[09:34] <Beefcakes> can I add an entry to the windows bootloader to list ubuntu?
[09:34] <sinthetek> doh! forgot i was in here
[09:34] <X-Sleepy-X> Beefcakes: might be more of a hassle
[09:34] <rocket16> Beefcakes: No, because Windows Bootloader will erase Grub2
[09:34] <rocket16> Beefcakes: That will be difficult
[09:35] <Beefcakes> ohh. ubuntu cannot be booted up from the windows bootloader?:)
[09:35] <n3rV3> Beefcakes, look up easybcd if you want to edit windows bootloader but i wont suggest it if you are new to ubuntu/linux
[09:35] <rocket16> Beefcakes: Yes, but then you need to use Wubi (-5% performance)
[09:35] <empezando_> x-Sleepy, nvidia agp 64mb, i need reebot to know more
[09:35] <empezando_> i think mx model
[09:35] <Beefcakes> rocket16: disk level virtualization? Wubi doesn't seem to work for me. hangs during install.
[09:36] <X-Sleepy-X> empezando_: hang on
[09:36] <sinthetek> thanks for your help, Dr_Willis. it had occurred to me it might be a permission problem with .bash_history but i thought perhaps there was some sort of intermediate mechanism at work that was supposed to append to it with euid 0 or some such
[09:36] <empezando_> excuse me? i'm spanish, hang on=reboot?
[09:36] <kotsos> hello, i am using a usb 3g broadband modem,it works perfectly.What i need now is some kind of bandwidth monitor in order to monitor my bandwidth usage,uptime,and connection speed.I am using xfce
[09:36] <X-Sleepy-X> empezando_: try to open jockey-gtk or install it first to find restricted drivers, and also change the software sources to allow those as well
[09:37] <X-Sleepy-X> empezando_: hang on = wait
[09:37]  * X-Sleepy-X gtg in 5 minutes
[09:37] <sinthetek> is that a bug perhaps? why create a .bash_history at all if it cannot be written to by standard mechanisms installed and enabled in ubuntu by default?
[09:37] <Beefcakes> empezando_: teach me how to make sangria
[09:38] <adac> I have installled ubuntu on a usb stick. Now on most of the pcs i can start the OS witouht problem, actually it works quite faboulous. Unfortunately on my notebook I have a big big problem. Wehn i logged into Gnome then certain keyboard keys are wrong (ie "l" shows "3" and so on) Any ideas how to solve this issue? I already tried to set the keyboard layout but no luck. it just stays the same.
[09:38] <empezando_> x-sleepy, sorry, but empezando=beginning; how install jockey-gtk? thru synaptic?
[09:38] <pretender2010> running ubuntu 10.10 and me-tv and not all channels are coming up.  It was not a problem in ubuntu 10.04
[09:39] <X-Sleepy-X> adac: press and hold the fn key and alse press Num lk key while holding down the fn key
[09:39] <X-Sleepy-X> adac: to disable num lock
[09:39] <X-Sleepy-X> empezando_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install jockey-gtk
[09:39] <X-Sleepy-X> empezando_: in the terminal
[09:40] <empezando_> ok, i know apt; i going to do
[09:40] <empezando_> i'm
[09:40] <X-Sleepy-X> empezando_: then start the application with: gksudo jockey-gtk
[09:40] <X-Sleepy-X> empezando_: i have to go now, good luck
[09:40] <X-Sleepy-X> bye
[09:41] <adac> X-Sleepy-X, I will try that out. Oh and whats funy too, when i start the stick with kvm on my notebook, then the keys are ok

[09:43] <empezando_> thanx a lot, xsleepy
[09:43] <Ascavasaion> I have the source for an applet for Gnome desktop.  I used to run it on 32bit Ubuntu.  I now run 64bit Ubuntu... if I use Checkinstall on the existing source file would it install as 64bit?
[09:49] <nsisodiya> hi, ihave installed UNR-10.10, I want to switch back to gnome,how i can do it ,,
[09:51] <Koterpillar> How do I move ~/Ubuntu\ One to another place?
[09:54] <HypothesisFrog> Firestarter truly is running hot. Is that normal?
[09:55] <Dr_Willis> Koterpillar:  You could link it to somewhere.. but im not sure of any other way to actually Move it and hide it.. pehaps ask in #ubuntuone
[09:55] <fahadsadah> I lost id_rsa.pub
[09:55] <fahadsadah> But I have id_rsa
[09:55] <fahadsadah> How do I regenerate the public key?
[09:55] <Koterpillar> Dr_Willis, thanks, will try there
[09:55] <Koterpillar> fahadsadah, nohow
[09:56] <fahadsadah> What do you mean?
[09:56] <Koterpillar> They are generated in pairs, if you have one, you cannot deduce another
[09:56] <Ascavasaion> I have the source for an applet for Gnome desktop.  I used to run it on 32bit Ubuntu.  I now run 64bit Ubuntu... if I use Checkinstall on the existing source file would it install as 64bit?
[09:56] <fahadsadah> Koterpillar: I'm sure it's possible to get public from private.
[09:56] <Dr_Willis> Ascavasaion:  i think yes.. try it and see.
[09:56] <fahadsadah> I can get the ascii-armor representation with ssh-keygen -y
[09:56] <Ascavasaion> Dr_Willis: Um, how would I know it is running in 32Bit?
[09:57] <fahadsadah> I just don't know how to get it in id_rsa.pub format
[09:57] <Dr_Willis> Ascavasaion:  see it i nstalls on a 64bit system I guess..
[09:57] <Ascavasaion> Dr_Willis: Or 64 bit

[10:03] <Ascavasaion> Dr_Willis: Yes, works wonderfully... created cricscore_<IP_ADDRESS>-1_amd64.deb :)

[10:08] <Dr_Willis> and block/hide them
[10:10] <FishFace> nsisodiya: Most IRC programs you can disable the join and part messages
[10:10] <FishFace> Unless you are using some kind of web chat
[10:11] <Dr_Willis> WeeChat has smart filtering of them.. if FishFace  qwere to quit/part/ I would see that message.. but if someone who just joins/quits. and says nothing in the last 5 min.. I DONT see those.

[10:22] <blackshirt> hello
[10:22] <svk_> Hey, I need to install an X keymap that will persist across me unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in; it's fine if it applies to all keyboards.. any idea how I'd go about doing this? (Running 10.10.)
[10:23] <pokoko222> Koterpillar i know what grub is but not sure what you mean...
[10:23] <Koterpillar> pokoko222, before you get to the terminal, do you have GRUB prompt? Hold shift maybe; it might help booting from CD manually
[10:23] <pokoko222> Koterpillar ah yes
[10:23] <pokoko222> ok let me try that, but i already did i think
[10:23] <pokoko222> you mean shift+F10?
[10:23] <pellicon> Can thinkpad x100e  install ubuntu ?
[10:24] <Koterpillar> pokoko222, http://ansi.interblc.com/2010/02/06/howto-boot-iso-images-via-grub2-with-ubuntu/
[10:24] <Koterpillar> try entering the commands between menuentry { and } in grub prompt
[10:24] <pellicon> help
[10:25] <vanessa><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[10:26] <blackshirt> pellicon : what do you need ?
[10:26] <pokoko222> Koterpillar but my iso is only on cdrom
[10:26] <svk_> Sounds like writing an udev rule might do what I want, is that correct?
[10:26] <pokoko222> Koterpillar what commands ?
[10:27] <xarneo> what shortcut to open terminal?
[10:27] <Koterpillar> pokoko222, don't let me mislead you... I think you're better off asking in #grub for getting GRUB to boot from a CD for you
[10:27] <Koterpillar> xarneo, Ctrl-Alt-T, AFAIR; change in preferences
[10:28] <xarneo> thanks

[10:31] <fsc__> hola...buenos dias dagomar
[10:31] <fsc__> es espanol?
[10:32] <Dr_Willis> What do youmean by onvert 'ms frontpage' exactly?
[10:32] <dagomar_> hola
[10:32] <dagomar_> Alguien español

[10:33] <fsc__> i want to use it in linux
[10:33] <fsc__> how do I convert it?
[10:34] <st__> fsc__, wine
[10:34] <fsc__> i heard that before
[10:34] <fsc__> what is a wine?
[10:34] <st__> !wine
[10:35] <fsc__> which wines do you recommend me?
[10:35] <Dr_Willis> fsc__:  check the wine app database to see if a windows app can run in wine
[10:35] <Dr_Willis> !appdb | fsc__
[10:36] <Dr_Willis> you dont 'convert' a executable to run.. You can try running it in linux with wine.
[10:37] <fsc__> well...my time is limited...when i migrated to Linux I was not aware I would have to waste so much time with all this
[10:37] <fsc__> but ok
[10:38] <fsc__> !appdb
[10:38] <KB1JWQ> fsc__: What were you envisioning, exactly?  Full binary compatibility across OSes?  Check back in ten years. :-)
[10:39] <Dr_Willis> KB1JWQ:  all apps will be facebook apps by then. :)
[10:39] <st__> Dr_Willis, never
[10:39] <Dr_Willis> fsc__:  there are other HTML editors out there.
[10:39] <KB1JWQ> Dr_Willis: That's usually the point where I awaken screaming.
[10:40] <Koterpillar> Dr_Willis, and we'll have facebook/blogger/myspace (?) compatibility issues
[10:40] <fsc__> yes....and will you pay me the time i will spend to adapt me to it?
[10:40] <st__> fsc__, just reinstall frontpage using wine
[10:41] <Dr_Willis> fsc__:  i dont care what you do. I just provide FREE support here...
[10:41] <fsc__> ok....you suggested me a solution...and i asked about a problem with that solution
[10:42] <Otrebor> lol
[10:42] <Otrebor> Hi everyone!
[10:42] <blackshirt1> hi
[10:42] <fsc__> hi there Otrebor

[10:45] <Otrebor> Never Mind
[10:45] <horax> i'm on Ubuntu 10.10 live cd
[10:45] <Koterpillar> Diverdude, remove those lines in Software Sources
[10:45] <Dr_Willis> Diverdude:  how are you upgradeing? You have a lot of extra entries in your sources listing. that sould be disabled for one thing.
[10:45] <Ellement> how can i connect from my mac to ubuntu?? i installed ltsp on ubuntu
[10:45] <horax> but i can't use my Atheros wifi card
[10:45] <Dr_Willis> I thought the upgrade tool did that automcaially
[10:46] <horax> any idea?
[10:46] <DasEi> Diverdude: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys  CEBEC1B70570C5C6
[10:46] <Otrebor> How i can connect to an IRc which is not in the list?
[10:46] <Koterpillar> Dr_Willis, my guess is he means apt-get upgrade, not dist upgrade
[10:46] <Diverdude> DasEi, what doe that do?
[10:46] <horax> hi¿
[10:47] <Otrebor> Hi horax!
[10:47] <DasEi> Diverdude: imports a key for hash-checking of d/l'ed packages

[10:55] <Alth> Dr_Willis: http://pastebin.com/8n7GhEg9
[10:55] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  if gparted mountd it. it got mounted by root. so you will need to unmount it as root. 'sudo umount /media/sda3'
[10:55] <Diverdude> DasEi, ok, and now?
[10:55] <svk_> Ubuntu wiki says under the "input configuration with udev" section that "keyboard configuration is achieved through console-setup", but does that really hold for setting keymaps for X as well? Or do I have to work directly with udev? evdev?
[10:55] <DasEi> Diverdude:  open http://pastebin.com/tD96eeva in browser, see line 61
[10:56] <javila> Please, It would really useful if someone helps me ^^

[11:13] <ThePub> Is there some way to tell the Escape key to be an end-key like any alpha-numeric keypress instead of a modifier?

[11:13] <Meway> Hello I broke my laptop screen a while back so I have been using an external screen. I installed ubuntu 9.10 I just got a replacement screen but it does not turn on. Its a dell latitude d610 (now that I think of it I may have changed a Bios setting) any ideas?
[11:13] <amarcolino> Trying to remove a package on my system that was installed using apt, however, something is misconfiguration and it doesn't let me uninstall, please take a look at my pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/534547/. Can anyone help?
[11:13]  * Abdur likes windows
[11:13] <Gnea> macotech: er, that isn't going to tell you what's going on
[11:13] <macotech> Gnea: everything works fine...html files are recognized the problem is with php files
[11:13] <Gnea> !ubuntu | Abdur
[11:13] <svk_> RippleEffect: Take a look at netstat, something like "netstat --all --program -n | grep 443" I think
[11:14] <RippleEffect> What netstat command will show me what program is using a particular port?
[11:14] <bazhang> Abdur, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic ; this is for Ubuntu support only
[11:14] <Gnea> macotech: okay, are you on 10.04 or 10.10?
[11:14] <macotech> 10.10
[11:14] <macotech> do I need to add the php extension or something like that in apache

[11:15] <Meway> bazhang, thanks for that :)
[11:15] <macotech> me too
[11:15] <Gnea> macotech: it's possible that the apache configuration for php isn't set right, have you looked at the /etc/apache2/ and /etc/php5/ files?
[11:16] <svk_> RippleEffect: You might need to do the netstat as root to get all the information if you're not the one running the process
[11:16] <macotech> Gnea: no I have not
[11:16] <Meway> im going to check if its a bios issue
[11:16] <Meway> brb
[11:16] <RippleEffect> svk_ thx I will try

[11:18] <Gnea> macotech: feel free to dig deeper
[11:18] <Abdur> i am sorry
[11:18] <macotech> Gnea:  I just don't know what to look for there
[11:18] <bazhang> Abdur, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[11:18] <Gnea> fsc__: #wrongplanet is for any and all aspie discussion on freenode. anywhere outside of it is a no-no.
[11:18] <fsc__> ok i know
[11:18] <fsc__> fook ok
[11:19] <Abdur> bazhang: i am sorry
[11:20] <Abdur> bazhang: actually i am new so pls forgive me in any case of forgiveness
[11:21] <Gnea> Abdur: are you familiar with the guidelines? I highly suggest you do so if you wish to remain.
[11:21] <Gnea> !guidelines | Abdur
[11:21] <svk_> So in my Xorg log I'm seeing this: [  4101.561] (**) Option "xkb_options" "lv3:ralt_switch"
[11:21] <svk_> Does anyone know where I can change those options?
[11:21] <Gnea> Abdur: you've been informed, your forgiveness karma has now been severely limited.
[11:21] <svk_> I think that would solve my problem
[11:22] <Gnea> macotech: I'm taking a look.... it's been awhile since i had this problem...
[11:22] <Abdur> karma = ?
[11:22] <svk_> (Appears in my log whenever I plug in a keyboard, I think)
[11:22] <macotech> Gnea: thanks a lot
[11:22] <Gnea> Abdur: google is your friend.
[11:22] <Abdur> Gnea every one is my friend
[11:22] <amarcolino> Trying to remove a package on my system that was installed using apt, however, something is misconfiguration and it doesn't let me uninstall, please take a look at my pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/534547/. Can anyone help?
[11:22] <Abdur> but only internet is not my friend
[11:23] <bazhang> Abdur, #ubuntu-offtopic please
[11:23] <Gnea> Abdur: you've been told to read and understand the guidelines.
[11:23] <Abdur> i have only 2 KB/s conection
[11:23] <Gnea> the guidelines are full text, they won't take long to load.
[11:23] <Abdur> oh... sorry
[11:24] <yeats> amarcolino: what was the actual command you used here?
[11:24] <miha> is there any linux/java... program that can create/write MS Access (mdb) not just read it? gmdb2 and OO seem to be read only? it would be easy to write it in java with jackcess lib
[11:25] <Abdur> can ubuntu support exe installation ?
[11:25] <st__> miha, had you checked ODBC Jet drivers?
[11:25] <miha> Abdur you can run simple .exe with wine
[11:25] <ikonia> Abdur: no
[11:25] <st__> Abdur, yes, via Wine
[11:25] <ikonia> Abdur: ubuntu is Linux - .exe is a windows file, they are not native to Linux
[11:25] <FishFace> amarcolino: Check this if all else fails - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=74637
[11:25] <amarcolino> yeats: originally tried aptitude purge, than -f update/upgrade to try and see if apt would correct the package, however it doesn't now I just want to force remove the package
[11:25] <ikonia> Abdur: https://help.ubuntu.com will give you an introduction to ubuntu
[11:26] <miha> st__ not really, there's a question on ubuntu.si forums. it's interesting topic for me, so far i needed only to read, i write with java and jackess...
[11:26] <Abdur> thank you
[11:26] <miha> st__ "is there any linux program that can create/write access db"
[11:27] <miha> st__ so i thought i'd ask here
[11:27] <yeats> amarcolino: can you do 'sudo apt-get -f install' and post the output?
[11:28] <yeats> amarcolino: post = paste at http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[11:29] <miha> st_ http://wiki.debian.org/gmdb2 says gmdb2 can export into OO format, but can anything export back?
[11:35] <amarcolino> FishFace, yeats: followed the instruction on that link managed to uninstall it and tried installing it again, however, the same error http://paste.ubuntu.com/534549/, I doubt denyhosts has a bug in the repo but that is what it seems
[11:36] <Gnea> !pm | fsc__
[11:37] <Guest10111> Hi. I need to remove all the gnome setting I currently have. Somewhere on the forums I found that removing: .gnome, .gnome2, .nautilus and .gconf can do this for me. Will those file regenerate automatically after fresh start of X?
[11:37] <ikonia> Guest10111: when gnome re-launches, they will get re-created
[11:38] <FishFace> amarcolino: Good luck. There was a guy here who used that link to fix his apt-get because he had a power failure during an install.
[11:38] <amarcolino> FishFace: :s
[11:39] <Guest10111> ikonia, Thank You.
[11:39] <flone> hi. i would like to map different stereo channel pairs of my 7.1 sound card to different instances of e.g. totem - how can i achieve this? (preferrably using pulseaudio)
[11:39] <karthick87> Is there any way to find the exact booting time of ubuntu?
[11:39] <ikonia> karthick87: you can use tools such as bootchat, but the easy way is to use a stop watch
[11:40] <amarcolino> FishFace, yeats: just need to make sure if it is apt or the package that is buggy or my actual system
[11:40] <karthick87> ikonia: bootchat or bootchart?
[11:40] <Ebrahem> Hello. Guys anyone notice firefox in windows is smoother in ubuntu or is it just me?
[11:41] <ikonia> chart
[11:41] <metallico> hi guys, I am trying to compile my sound driver and when I do "make" I get an error "/lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/build/include/linux/types.h:4: fatal error: asm/types.h: No such file or directory"
[11:41] <metallico> if I view the source code of types.h I see that on line 4 there is a #include #include <asm/types.h> if I change it to #include "/usr/include/asm/types.h" the process continues but I get a similar errror later on. Do you have any idea why the system can not include files from the asm
[11:41] <metallico> directory. I tried creating a symblink, but it doesnt help.
[11:42] <FloodBot4> metallico: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:42] <yeats> amarcolino: I'm able to install/uninstall that package on lucid 64 without any problem if that helps you
[11:42] <FishFace> amarcolino: Your pastebin shows a bunch of permission denied lines. If root doesn't work, I have no idea.
[11:43] <yeats> amarcolino: you have to find out which "subprocess" dpkg doesn't have permission to execute, then find out why
[11:44] <amarcolino> yeats: on my other comp it works, I don't know why root would be failing on this package
[11:44] <not_default> how can i check lucid cdrom integrity at boot? I have no prompt before the "installation or live" prompt
[11:44] <yeats> amarcolino: you can only discover that using dpkg output - aptitude/apt-get doesn't give you enough information
[11:44] <amarcolino> FishFace: yup that is quite weird
[11:44] <detoxica> not_default: press f8 during boot
[11:44] <jarad> hi
[11:45] <amarcolino> yeats: so dpkg -i package name?
[11:45] <yeats> amarcolino: that's probably a good place to start
[11:45] <yeats> amarcolino: paste that output and I'll look with you
[11:46] <DrManhattan> Wobbly windows is the coolest desktop effect
[11:47] <DrManhattan> I have to say, I like the Ubuntu gui more than Aero
[11:47] <not_default> detoxica: f8? sounds windows to me... ; )
[11:47] <ElNota> DrManhattan: heh, Is aero still alive? :P
[11:47] <not_default> detoxica: ah, the timing is important, not the key
[11:47] <DrManhattan> heh hhe
[11:48] <not_default> i'll try that
[11:48] <not_default> ty all
[11:48] <detoxica> not_default: perhaps any key will work :-) press it when the first screen comes up during boot
[11:49] <amarcolino> yeats: the pastebin show the output of both dpkg purge and install not much info given http://paste.ubuntu.com/534552/
[11:51] <bursihido> hwo to install pidgin in ubuntu  ?
[11:51] <bursihido> how*
[11:51] <st__> bursihido, it should be in repos
[11:51] <Gnea> bursihido: open a terminal, type this: sudo apt-get install pidgin
[11:52] <arcsky> anyone know how to encrypt a home dir ?
[11:52] <yeats> amarcolino: first do 'sudo apt-get install denyhosts', then 'sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/denyhosts_2.6-6.1ubuntu1_all.deb' and please paste that
[11:52] <bursihido> Gnea: However the following packages replace it:
[11:52] <bursihido>   libpurple-bin libpurple0
[11:52] <bursihido> E: Package 'pidgin' has no installation candidate
[11:52] <bursihido> :S
[11:52] <FloodBot4> bursihido: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:52] <Gnea> bursihido: oh, you should probably just use empathy then, it's already installed
[11:52] <ElNota> bursihido: sudo apt-get install pidgin
[11:53] <ElNota> bursihido: Did you use that command?
[11:53] <bursihido> ElNota:  yes it saying error E: Package 'pidgin' has no installation candidate
[11:54] <ElNota> bursihido: sudo apt-get install libpurpe-bin libpurple0
[11:55] <bursihido> ElNota: E: Unable to locate package libpurpe-bin
[11:55] <MrCurlyBraces> misspelled
[11:55] <MrCurlyBraces> libpurple-bin
[11:55] <yeats> bursihido: can you do 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list' and paste the output at http://paste.ubuntu.com/?
[11:55] <iflema> ElNota sudo apt-get update     first....
[11:55] <clu3> i get /etc/resolv.conf reset every reboot, and the file permission is already -rw-r--r-- , any ideas anyone?
[11:55] <FishFace> bursihido: Have you tried to get it from the pidgin.im site and try that way? Thats if all else fails I guess.
[11:55] <inflex> is it possible in the 10.10 default X desktop to make it so you can switch between desktops using the mouse wheel?
[11:55] <shadow-_> Need help
[11:56] <iflema> bursihido sudo apt-get update     first....
[11:56] <ElNota> bursihido: Well, then go to "software soruces" and in first tab, enable all (excepting software code or something like that); try using main server
[11:56] <yeats> clu3: that is the way it should work - /etc/resolv.conf is managed by network manager
[11:56] <iflema> bursihido to update the package sources list
[11:56] <ElNota> bursihido: After that, go to terminal, use "sudo apt-get update" (as iflema said) and again "sudo apt-get install pidgin"
[11:57] <bursihido> yeats: bursihido@Exploiter:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

[11:57] <Sheepherd> hey guys. i just freed some space on my hd to extend the running ubuntu partition. is there a way to resize that ubuntu partition while running or without using some boot cd?
[11:57] <amarcolino> yeats: i've also posted the output of aptitude reinstall http://paste.ubuntu.com/534554/
[11:57] <erUSUL> Sheepherd: no; you can not resize partitions that are mounted
[11:57] <yeats> clu3: then you'll have to *not* use network manager ;-)
[11:58] <bursihido> iflema: yes updated
