[09:33] <belim> Hi. I am having massive issues with Evolution & exchange with MAPI or the exchange plugin since Jaunty upgrade and I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem. Googling only shows problems which are years old.... :|
[09:33] <Name141> I can't seem to figure out how to get around configuring it like a switch with DHCP turned off at the router
[09:33] <aminus> rm: cannot remove `ltsp/amd64/dev/pts/0': Operation not permitted
[09:33] <aminus> and im logged in as root
[09:33] <faileas> ActionParsnip: i used to forward a USB wifi card into a VM which was running on a box connected via wires to the same wireless routers ;p
[09:33] <belim> The exchange plugin constantly says lost connection to exchange backend. and the mapi plugin does loads of strange things and seems to be really buggy
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> faileas: oh man :)
[09:34] <Name141> GibbaTheHutt: that is
[09:34] <kjkjl> thanks slart .
[09:34] <failure> 1
[09:34] <faileas> ActionParsnip: well, its good for testing wifi cards ;p
[09:34] <faileas> as long as they are USB based
[09:34] <trelane> I have an LCD panel on a laptop that's been incorrectly detected.  I don't see a spot to specify mode lines in /etc/xorg.conf anymore.  Where can I go to change the mode lines available now?
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> faileas: if a bit painful
[09:35] <aminus> im getting segfaults all over the place...
[09:35] <stanman1> hi in here: am trying to install sun-java6-jdk on ubuntu 64 8.04 LTS, but it doesn't have an installation candidate. Anyone done this before?
[09:35] <bullgard4> Samba uses 'trivial databases'. Where are they described? There is no 'man tdbtoo'. There is no 'man tdbdump'. There is no 'tdbbackup'.
[09:35] <faileas> ActionParsnip: the box i was running it on was c2d with fairly happy ram
[09:35] <failure> Is there a way to make the mouse move faster, without using the gnome settings window?
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> aminus: why are you logging on as root?
[09:35] <bullgard4> Samba uses 'trivial databases'. Where are they described? There is no 'man tdbtool'. There is no 'man tdbdump'. There is no 'tdbbackup'.
[09:35] <faileas> it was actually shockingly painless
[09:36] <trelane> bullgard4: try libdb? the old berkeley db's
[09:36] <NicolasM14> HI !
[09:36] <glitsj16> trelane: you can still add those modelines to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:36] <trelane> glitsj16: cool thanks!
[09:37] <NicolasM14> Anyone having problems of too big menu font size with firefox 3.1beta3 and ubunt 9.04 ?
[09:37] <vega_> Hi.  Can I upgrade straight from 8.04 to 9.04 without any issues?
[09:38] <klak> why does my flash player not work now that ive upgraded to 9.04?
[09:38] <Slart> vega_: give 9.04 a try using a live cd first..
[09:38] <bullgard4> trelane: I cannot see how your message answers my question.
[09:38] <vega_> Okay.  Why do you recommend that?
[09:38] <vega_> Just to make sure it doesn't have any major issues with my hardware?
[09:38] <Slart> vega_: I've upgraded 8.04->8.10->9.04 and it's worked alright for me.. I can't vouch for the 8.04->9.04 upgrade though
[09:38] <Slart> vega_: exactly
[09:39] <vega_> How do I go from 8.04 to 8.10?
[09:39] <Slart> vega_: I'm not sure there is an automated way..
[09:40] <klak> could anyone tell me why flash player does not work now that ive upgraded to 9.04?
[09:40] <sakyamuni> Using crontab -e for a user, I add this entry: "33 * * * * echo "hi" >/tmp/hi.txt" and nothing is ouputted to that file. 39 * * * * /bin/sh -c 'echo "hi" >/tmp/hi.txt' = same thing
[09:40] <bullgard4> vega_: I have tried this. But my computer does not get network access after the 8.04 to 8.10 upgrade yet.
[09:40] <NicolasM14> For my font problem, notice that I upgrader from 8.10 and it's not a fresh install. If anyone have a clue...
[09:42] <zhxk> excuse me, how can i mount /boot/initrd-general.img file?
[09:42] <EmLoD> I have the weirdest of problems, My firefox locked up the entire computer when i was about to upload a file to my blog, i tried ctrl+alt+backspace, but later learned that it's been disabled... anyway, i ended up pushing the reset button.
[09:42] <EmLoD> now every time ubuntu is done booting, and is about to show the login screen, it doesn't, instead it shows a messy screen which it blinks 3 og 4 times. this screen though messy displays the same screen i had when i pushed the reset button... i tried the repair, resetting xorg.conf but nothing helps...
[09:43] <therapy> does anyone know how to get a preview of .flv files in nautilus?  I still use Intrepid
[09:44] <zhxk> excuse me, dose anyone know how to mount file /boot/initrd.img-general?
[09:45] <Kazaa> got a question
[09:45] <zhxk> excuse me, dose anyone know how to mount file /boot/initrd.img-general?
[09:45] <Kazaa> what is the diffrence between ubuntu,kubuntu and edubuntu
[09:45] <bauruine> does anyone know where the vmware netmapings are stored on ubuntu?
[09:45] <zhxk> excuse me, dose anyone know how to mount file /boot/initrd.img-general?
[09:46] <Paddy_EIRE> !repeat | zhxk
[09:46] <fore>  did you try mount /boot/initrd.img-general
[09:46] <fore> lol
[09:46] <EmLoD> Kazaa, ubuntu=gnome, kubutu=KDE, edubuntu=EDU\education
[09:46] <zhxk> Kazza: xubuntu is only diffrent by x
[09:46] <fore> no
[09:46] <cousin_luigi> hello
[09:46] <zhxk> fore, yes
[09:46] <Kazaa> is there diffrence in the features or somthing or is it just theme?
[09:47] <cousin_luigi> what is the default grub splashimage on jaunty?
[09:47] <fore> xubuntu requirements are less than the others
[09:47] <faileas> Kazaa: ubuntu xubuntu and kubuntu use different desktop environments. Edubuntu is designed to run ltsp
[09:47] <Slart> Kazaa: xubuntu uses xfce instead of gnome.. that's all
[09:47] <zhxk> excuse me, dose anyone know how to mount file /boot/initrd.img-general?
[09:47] <faileas> of course, you can start with any one and switch at any time
[09:47] <Slart> zhxk: will you stop spamming that every 30 seconds
[09:47] <kjkjl> kazaa get kubuntu
[09:47] <zhxk> Slart, could you answer my question?
[09:48] <Paddy_EIRE> yeah I already fired the !repeat factoid zhxk
[09:48] <Slart> zhxk: wait at least 15 minutes before repeating a question.. use the time to search the forums/google
[09:48] <Kazaa> im thinkking between kubuntu and edubuntu (because im a student)
[09:48] <faileas> Kazaa: edubuntu is more for if you want to set up a computer lab
[09:49] <Kazaa> is there a diffrence in GUI?
[09:49] <zhxk> Kazza: eubuntu is for student use
[09:49] <Slart> !edubuntu
[09:49] <younder> Is there a software developers version of ubunty?
[09:49] <younder> ubuntu
[09:50] <zhxk> excuse me, dose anyone know how to mount file /boot/initrd.img-general?
[09:50] <faileas> younder: just install what you need on top ;)
[09:50] <younder> faileas: I have
[09:50] <DelGurth> zhxk if people say to be patient
[09:50] <Slart> !ops | zhxk
[09:50] <DelGurth> do you really think they are going to help you now?
[09:51] <faileas> Slart: there's 4 official varients, and a LOAD of custom ones.
[09:51] <Yondering> younder, I'd probably have to suggest the standard ubuntu.  You can install one and try the different desktops if you like, no problem.
[09:51] <Slart> faileas: huh?
[09:51] <bsdnux> i just installed virtualbox (from virtualbox.org) on jaunty, but the icon does not show in the app menu. in the "main menu" preferences "sun virtualbox" shows under system tools and is activated... any ideas?
[09:51] <faileas> but none is particularly dev specific since different devs have different needs ;)
[09:51] <Yondering> bsdnux, that's where it installs.
[09:51] <zhxk> ubottu: what do you mean?
[09:52] <jpds> Slart: ?
[09:52] <bsdnux> Yondering, yeah, but it does not show in the application menu, only in the main menu preferences
[09:52] <elky> zhxk, please do not repeat your question so often.
[09:52] <faileas> zhxk: i think you just annoyed a load of people
[09:52] <bsdnux> ie: i dont have it in the menu. i checked if its not activated in the prefs but it is.
[09:53] <Slart> jpds: please have a word with zhxk, we've tried and he/she wont listen
[09:53] <Yondering> bsdnux, it puts the application icon under the system preferences?  if you click it, it should open the app window.  Sorry, haven't got vbox installed atm, but that's how I remember using it.
[09:53] <kaveh> hey ive just had this odd issue
[09:53] <bullgard4> Samba uses 'trivial databases'. Where are they described in an introduction? There is no 'man tdbtool'. There is no 'man tdbdump'. There is no 'tdbbackup'.
[09:54] <macstar> ive tried the usual route of google and the docs, but cannot find anything really that useful. Can anyone point me to a good tutorial for moving my /var/www to a new physical drive ?
[09:54] <zhxk> well, I think they are busy, will happy to see my patience and may feel guilty not answer my question.
[09:54] <kaveh> i was using firefox (latest version) on the latest version of ubuntu right, i click google search button, nothing happens so i close firefox and try again a few times, still the button doesn't work
[09:54] <kaveh> i restarted my computer and now, firefox still doesn't work properly
[09:54] <jpds> zhxk: If people don't answer, it's usually because they don't know the answer...
[09:54] <kaveh> and all my menu shortcuts and spaces etc.. are gone
[09:54] <DelGurth> zhxk: this is how I unpacked my initrd.img gzip -dc < /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-server | cpio -i
[09:54] <DelGurth> zhxk: just google
[09:54] <bsdnux> Yondering: under System->Preferences->Main Menu where i can actiavte and deactivate application menu items, the virtualbox icon show. but not in the actual Applications->System Tools
[09:54] <kaveh> anyone know why this would/could have happened?
[09:55] <Yondering> bsdnux, hm.  one moment, been meaning to install it on this box.  downloading now.
[09:55] <Slart> kaveh: hmm.. check that your firefox profile hasn't gotten messed up.. I think it creates a new profile if that happens.. and then you end up with no bookmarks and such
[09:55] <zhxk> DelGurth:thank you all the same
[09:55] <bsdnux> ha
[09:55] <bsdnux> now it's there....
[09:55] <bsdnux> just took a while to update i guess
[09:55] <Slart> kaveh: there is a startup switch.. something like firefox --safe-mode
[09:56] <Yondering> bsdnux, oh, yeah.  the menus can be flaky sometimes like that.
[09:56] <zhxk> DelGurth: what edition of irc client do you use?
[09:56] <Slart> kaveh: sorry.. firefox -safe-mode to start without plugins etc.. firefox -ProfileManager to select what profile you want to sue
[09:56] <kaveh> the firefox isnt such a big issue as is the fact that it keeps wiping my ubuntu shortcuts aswell
[09:56] <zhxk> kaveh: what edition of irc client do you use?
[09:57] <sifo> helo
[09:57] <kaveh> XChat?
[09:57] <kaveh> 2.8.6
[09:57] <zhxk> kaveh: thx
[09:58] <River> how do I switch to an external monitor from Laptop ? Jaunty.
[09:58] <kaveh> well the profile fixed firefox - thanks slart , how about the ubuntu panels? all spacings get removed and all shortcuts become 'unconfigured' upon restarting?
[09:59] <cousin_luigi> what is the default grub splashimage on jaunty?
[09:59] <Slart> kaveh: no idea about that one.. sorry
[09:59] <EmLoD> is there a way to "reset"\"reinstall" the kernel?
[09:59] <zhxk> anybody knows how to stopx after initiate startx?
[10:00] <sifo> where i can find free dvd repo ubuntu like shipit.com?
[10:00] <ThJ> So what's the issue with Compiz and the OpenGL GLUT library? I'm not getting a window frame with GLUT apps.
[10:01] <Slart> zhxk: press ctrl+alt+f1 to get a tty.. then run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop  it should stop X.. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start to restart it
[10:02] <Slart> EmLoD: I'm not sure if it work but you could try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-blablabla"
[10:02] <kaveh> I have two harddisks, one isn't being used - /, /home and /usr are all on the first hard disk - what i want to do is put /usr onto the second hard disk and make / and /home the entirety of the first hard disk. i was thinking of just tarring all my files and using a live cd to untar but there would be some issue with that, anyone know of a way to completely move /usr to the 2nd hard disk and resize home to become all of the fir
[10:02] <kaveh> st harddisk?
[10:03] <Slart> kaveh: I think the live cd idea sounds good.. you'll do an awful lot of reboots doing it on a live system
[10:03] <ThJ> kaveh: You could mount your new drive under a diferent name, use cp -pR to copy all the files with permissions preserved to the new drive.
[10:03] <Slart> kaveh: of course, you'll have to update your fstab so everything is mounted correctly.. but I guess that's the easy part
[10:04] <ThJ> kaveh: Then you probably need to enter single user mode to delete /usr, and remount the new drive as usr. But be dead sure the fstab entry for that works before you reboot
[10:04] <kaveh> so i could just use cp -pR /usr/ to copy it to the 2nd hard disk and just update my fstab?
[10:05] <ThJ> kaveh: I think that ought to work, but don't take my word for it. Not 100% sure how -p handles symlinks, you better check that.
[10:05] <zhxk> Slart: i just run startx and it go into a basic desktop
[10:05] <HammerHead66> !paste images
[10:06] <sifo> i want free ubuntu dvd repo help me?
[10:06] <ThJ> kaveh: If you mount something in /usr and /usr isn't empty though, the files will still be there, on your old drive, just invisible.
[10:06] <ThJ> kaveh: so you need to operate your system without /usr for a moment while you're deleting it. Perhaps safest done from a boot CD.
[10:06] <kaveh> aah k, so copied files will be mounted, old files will be on the old hard disk - use a live cd to copy and delete and update fstab then? once thats done is it possible to resize /home to use the entire first hard disk?
[10:07] <rikkardo> hello, what can you say about 9.04? is it reliable enough for productive usage?
[10:07] <TarBar> Yes
[10:07] <ThJ> kaveh: Sounds like a plan? :)
[10:07] <Slart> zhxk: yes?
[10:07] <kaveh> thank you very much :)
[10:08] <kaveh> i have everythign backed up i just dont want to reinstall all my extra packages :P so worst comes to worst i put a clean install on
[10:08] <ThJ> kaveh: very good, then. You should be able to test your new usr folder too
[10:08] <rikkardo> anyone: whats the biggest change from 8.04 to 9.04 ?
[10:09] <zhxk> Slart:yes, but it haven't menu and icon, just an graphic bash-like console
[10:09] <zaggynl> !whatsnew
[10:09] <zaggynl> !jaunty
[10:09] <ThJ> kaveh: If you boot from a CD you can probably rename your old /usr to something else, after copying it, and make a new empty /usr and make your fstab mount it. Should it fail, you can rename your old /usr.
[10:09] <Fantec> hello
[10:10] <rikkardo> zaggynl: thanks, but i thought rather of personal opinions
[10:10] <kaveh> bah firefox has died on me again
[10:10] <ThJ> kaveh: Got that? :)
[10:10] <kaveh> "Could not initialize the applications security component"
[10:10] <rikkardo> firefox eats up 550mb ram on my machine sometimes
[10:10] <Rapachooie> can I get some help on a xubuntu issue here?
[10:10] <Rapachooie> its not even an issue, i just don tknow how to do something
[10:11] <Slart> zhxk: I have no idea what that might be... sounds like one of those early, very basic desktop managers.. twm or similar
[10:11] <rikkardo> sure Rapachooie
[10:11] <kaveh> so your saying make a new /usr/, fstab it so that i definitely have a /usr
[10:11] <quibbler> !ask | Rapachooie
[10:11] <kaveh> then mount the files i want into it
[10:11] <Fantec> I have a problem with IPv6 : eth0 has an IPv6 "link" but no IPv6 "host"
[10:11] <zaggynl> well from what I've heard it boots faster rikkardo
[10:12] <rikkardo> and hows the new notification system? anyone tried it?
[10:12] <Rapachooie> :) thanks      ok I just want to know what the xfce equivilent (if any) of gnomes "sessions" feature is... I want to autostart programs like pidgin, and skype, and xchat etc, every time it boots, no matter what the previous state of running programs was on my last exit. but I cannot find where to do it
[10:12] <HammerHead66> anyone here have a ATI radeon card?
[10:12] <arvind_khadri> Rapachooie, #xfce would be more helpful
[10:12] <Rapachooie> ok thanks ill check that out
[10:12] <Rapachooie> cheers
[10:13] <koshar1> rikkardo the notification sys is ok i guess, it just looks like the old one with black icons
[10:13] <bauruine> does anyone know where the vmware netmapings are stored on ubuntu? i try a automatic installation with pxe & preseed but cannot figure out how to configure the network mappings
[10:13] <arvind_khadri> HammerHead66, ask away if anyone knows the solution they will answer
[10:13] <quibbler> Rapachooie-> i'm using gnome and it called system-preferences-startup applications now
[10:13] <zhxk> Slart:maybe it is twm
[10:13] <kelli> hi all
[10:14] <HammerHead66> well the problem is with ATI radeon cards so if you don't have one you won't be able to help me
[10:14] <Rapachooie> quibbler: yep I know its diff in 9.04, but I should have mentioned that I am still on 8.10... not a fan of 9.04 yet
[10:14] <zhxk> Slart:i have find an eligant way to shut it down now, run exit on the console
[10:14] <arvind_khadri> HammerHead66, ask whatever you want to first and then lets see
[10:15] <quibbler> Rapachooie-> OK good luck in #ice
[10:15] <quibbler> #xfce
[10:15] <glitsj16> Rapachooie: settings manager > autostarted applications
[10:15] <HammerHead66> arvind_khadri: ok here's the deal I tell you and you don't say it's Pulse Audio. Deal?
[10:16] <Rapachooie> :) thanks quibbler
[10:16] <arvind_khadri> HammerHead66, ya fine
[10:16] <Rapachooie> glitsj16: thats the one!!! thank you kindly
[10:17] <chillitom> is there a package for firefox 3.5 beta?
[10:18] <HammerHead66> arvind_khadri: I can't get any games to play sound no matter what I do I have tried on ubuntu 8.04 64 bit, 32bit but the same result and I know it has something to do with my graphic card but I don't know what it is. But when I play games on wine the sound is fine. any ideas
[10:18] <kaveh> i had a similar issue - i was playing music and the game was talking to alsa while the music player was using the sound card directly
[10:18] <crid_> Anyone running ubuntu on fujitsu amilo sa 3650?
[10:19] <arvind_khadri> HammerHead66, googled about it??
[10:19] <arvind_khadri> HammerHead66, any specific game?
[10:19]  * Elbrus wonders where he can edit the menu in kde under Jaunty
[10:19] <HammerHead66> already tried  noting worked
[10:20] <HammerHead66> arvind_khadri: it is with all games
[10:20] <Xiong> well, guys, the last fellow who tried to help me seems to have blown up his own box, some sort of hardware problem
[10:20] <Xiong> and i still can't connect wireless
[10:21] <Xiong> all i did was disable it by right-click in tray
[10:21] <glitsj16> chillitom: you can always add the http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu repository for firefox 3.5 beta, it keeps your profile etc. separated so it doesn't interfere with your existing one(s)
[10:21] <arvind_khadri> HammerHead66, checked the settings of the game
[10:21] <belim> is ext4 stable and usable in Jaunty?
[10:21] <HammerHead66> arvind_khadri: I can watch movies with sound music from online no prooblems but no games have sound
[10:21] <HammerHead66> arvind_khadri:did that too
[10:21] <Xiong> i figured i could re-enable it the same way -- but the menu item is now just ... gone
[10:21] <Yopu> belim: i was wondering that myself
[10:21] <chillitom> glitsj16, thanks dude
[10:21] <sveinse> Hallo. I'm asked to setup a small news server in our company. What server would you recommend?  cnews?  inn?  inn2?
[10:21] <Frantic> guys, anyone knows a database design tool for linux? don't say umbrello, it's for UML, I need one for databases :)
[10:21] <Xiong> this is freaking me out because if i can't connect, i can't get help with anything -- including the connection issue
[10:22] <belim> Yopu, I am running it and it seems fine but I just read a thread on the forums stating its not....
[10:22] <Xiong> since i can't depend on a wired connection; i just won't have it much longer -- i mean in terms of hours
[10:22] <glitsj16> chillitom: add the GPG key for that PPA to avoid nagging ;)
[10:22] <belim> Yopu, and I dont fancy running something that is unreliable
[10:22] <Yopu> belim: agreed
[10:22] <Xiong> please help me to get the wireless back on -- i'm perfectly happy to reinstall everything under the sun, if only i could be told how
[10:22] <chillitom> glitsj16, will do
[10:23] <aiman> hi ubuntu
[10:23] <Xiong> hi aiman
[10:24] <belim> how can i install older packages? I want to roll back evolution and evolution-exchange to the 8.10 version (2.24 i believe) but cant figure out how to do it
[10:24] <gharz> guys, i've installed xubuntu-desktop on top of my ubuntu... i've noticed that when i minimize an application, the application icon doesn't show on the panel/taskbar so that i could just click on it to restore... how do i fix this?
[10:25] <StarTrek_XI_> crontab is not working, do I have to run crontab -e as root or what?
[10:25] <ikonia> StarTrek_XI_: define not working ?
[10:25] <StarTrek_XI_> i want it to run a script, but it doesnt do it
[10:25] <belim> it doesnt state that there are any additional version available
[10:26] <Elbrus> belim: I think you can add the 8.10 repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list (also via your packagemanager) and select the proper version (force version)
[10:26] <aprendiz001> hi all
[10:26] <david_> ciao
[10:26] <david_> chi è italiano/a?
[10:26] <belim> Elbrus, thanks what is what I was looking to do :)
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[10:26] <arvind_khadri> !downgrade | belim  , Elbrus
[10:27] <Xiong> guys, please
[10:27] <joaopinto> StarTrek_XI_, have you checked the crontab log, scripts not running from crontab are usually related to impropert setup of the shell environment, there are significant differentes between running an interactive shell and a cron shell
[10:27] <Xiong> i'm ready to blow it all up
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: sup?
[10:27] <aprendiz001> anyone have problems with firefox and joomla in ubuntu 8.10?
[10:27] <traskbt> I can't play my DVD in 9.04 (I have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras) can anyone help me?
[10:27] <StarTrek_XI_> ok ill check that :/
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> !info joomla
[10:27] <ikonia> !dvd > traskbt
[10:27] <Xiong> ActionParsnip, i have killed my wireless
[10:27] <Xiong> all i did was disable it by right-click in tray
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: ok is it usb or pci?
[10:27] <belim> arvind_khadri, oh... Even for something like evolution which is already broken? lol
[10:27] <Xiong> i don't know
[10:27] <traskbt> ikonia, thanks
[10:28] <Elbrus> arvind_khadri, belim: I guess you could try for individual packages, but I agree, no garantees
[10:28] <ikonia> traskbt: give that a go, then we can work through the problems
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: it it internal to your system, or an external sticky outy bit
[10:28] <Xiong> ActionParsnip, i think pci
[10:28] <Xiong> internal
[10:28] <arvind_khadri> belim, yes, dont do that....
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: then its pci
[10:28] <arvind_khadri> belim, what exactly do you mean by broken over here?
[10:28] <OperaTon> Does anyone know the name of this woman? http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/cityguide/attachement/jpg/site1/20090302/0023ae5d932f0b15bd610a.jpg
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: ok so you said it was working, then you clicked something and now its gone?
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> !ot | OperaTon
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> OperaTon: this is a support channel
[10:29] <Xiong> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/m34300421
[10:29] <OperaTon> :D
[10:29] <traskbt> ikonia, looks like it was encrypted, thanks.
[10:29] <belim> arvind_khadri, well the evolution-exchange plugin constantly says "Lost Connection to Exchange Backend" which seems to be a very old bug which was resolved as I was using it fine in 8.10 but is now a problem again. And the MAPI support seems massively unstable, I can list the issues if you like?... :)
[10:29] <Xiong> i right-clicked the network icon in the system tray and disabled wireless, thinking i could re-enable it the same way
[10:30] <Xiong> now the option to enable is just ... gone -- the entire menu item is not shown
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: ok
[10:30] <belim> arvind_khadri, It is really annoying as I NEED exchange support lol
[10:30] <mintx> hey everybody
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: does   sudo iwlist scan   show APs?
[10:30] <arvind_khadri> belim, in 9.04 ?
[10:30] <Xiong> in between, i hibernated
[10:30] <belim> arvind_khadri, yup in 9.04. fresh install not an upgrade
[10:30] <kaveh> omg another problem. im trying to format my 2nd hard disk - it is /dev/sdb1/ - sudo fdisk /dev/sdb1/ gives me the result "Unable to open /dev/sdb1/"
[10:30] <Xiong> and another fellow  thought the interaction blew the wireless up
[10:30] <kaveh> anyone got any ideas?
[10:31]  * Xiong tries that
[10:31] <crid_> anyone using amilo sa 3650?
[10:31] <mintx> i'm new here
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> kaveh: its   sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
[10:31] <mintx> and i have qustion
[10:31] <arvind_khadri> belim, check the bts,to see if any work around has been presented
[10:31] <Johnm_> kaveh: it isn't /dev/sdb1/ its /dev/sdb. but if you're formatting you're not wanting to use fdisk
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> kaveh: fdisk works on the disk, sdb1 is only a partition
[10:31] <rikkardo> !ask | mintx
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> !ask | mintx
[10:31] <kaveh> aah
[10:31] <Xiong> ActionParsnip, returns three lines, all say interface doesn't support scanning
[10:31] <mintx> i'm using linux mint
[10:31] <kaveh> sdb gives me the same problem
[10:31] <Johnm_> kaveh: you're wanting to mke2fs -j /dev/sdb1 - be careful, this removes anything already on there.
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: ok try this:
[10:32] <belim> arvind_khadri, bts?
[10:32] <kaveh> i want to remoev everything on the hard disk
[10:32] <arvind_khadri> !mint | mintx
[10:32] <kaveh> and put one single partition
[10:32] <Johnm_> kaveh: its scsi drive sdb (second in the chain), partition 1 (sdb1)
[10:32] <ExIlErC33> are you guys all bots???
[10:32] <arvind_khadri> belim, bug tracking system, :)
[10:32] <mintx> thanks
[10:32] <HammerHead66> lol
[10:32] <hydester> i upgraded to jaunty and broke my radeon 8500.  i was hoping if i downgrade X to 1.5.4 (as in ibex) i should be fine.  is there an easy way to downgrade X completely?  i added ibex back into my sources.list and can do it a package at a time, but it seems quite cumbersome if i want all of X to be the same older version
[10:32] <Johnm_> kaveh: then fdisk /dev/sdb, delete them all, create a new one, mke2fs -j /dev/sdb1
[10:32] <mib_2k8dqa> ExIlErC33: Yes
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: sudo rmmod ipw2200; sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart; sudo modprobe ipw2200; sudo ifup wlan0; sudo iwlist scan
[10:32] <ExIlErC33> hahaha  aight then
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: if the device isnt known as wlan0, change the name
[10:33] <kaveh> fdisk /dev/sdb just gave me the same error as /dev/sdb1 - it ends up saying "Unable to open /dev/sdb"
[10:33] <belim> arvind_khadri, LOL! oh right. Well googling didnt come up with anything except really old issues. I will take a look though. Launchpad?
[10:33] <mintx> can i use clam antivirus?
[10:33] <Johnm_> ExIlErC33: Does not compute. Are you looking for iraq gold?
[10:33] <kaveh> dont worry its working
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> kaveh: then run: sudo fdisk -l   to verify the disk name
[10:33] <kaveh> slash at the end xD
[10:33] <Johnm_> kaveh: does /dev/sdb even exist? :)
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> kaveh: hehe, silly
[10:33] <dergringo> Hi. I just did xrandr --output DVI-0 --right-of DVI-1 Now how do I add a Panel bar to my second monitor?
[10:33] <arvind_khadri> belim, ya launchpad :) , how did they fix it in 8.10 , was it a patch ?
[10:33] <aprendiz001> exist openjdk plugin in ubuntu?
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: hopefully reloading the kernel module and restarting hal will nudge it into working
[10:34] <Xiong> wait, i have issues
[10:34] <Slart> mintx: perhaps.. you should ask whoever created your distro
[10:34] <kaveh> silly me :P
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: i never said i was going anywhere....
[10:34] <erUSUL> aprendiz001: yes
[10:34] <Slart> mintx: the answer will probably be yes though..
[10:34] <mintx> no body answered me a bout my qustion
[10:34] <erUSUL> !find icedtea
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> mintx: yes you can use lamav
[10:35] <erUSUL> !info icedtea6-plugin | aprendiz001
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> !clamav
[10:35] <Slart> mintx: I just answered you.. it doesn't count?
[10:35] <aprendiz001> ahh, it is called icedtea
[10:35] <aprendiz001> okis
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> !antivirus
[10:35] <belim> arvind_khadri, I dont know. The problem seemed to be back around version 7.10 and seemed to just be working when I installed 8.10 (only been a ubuntu user for a while. Came over from Gentoo! ;)
[10:35] <Slart> clamtk
[10:35] <mintx> thanks

[10:37] <eternaljoy> is  SSL Blacklist extension to Firefox good?
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: sure, just thought i'd lost you
[10:37] <arvind_khadri> belim, i would advice you to report a bug in LP,  and wait for some few days, maybe the devs are already on it :)
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> eternaljoy: ifit provides what you need, yes
[10:37] <eternaljoy> ActionParsnip: wehere you get it?
[10:37] <belim> arvind_khadri, nice one. I will do :)

[10:40] <Xiong> what did i do to kill it so thoroughly??
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: well you dont now and thats what matters
[10:40] <EmLoD> now every time ubuntu is done booting, and is about to show the login screen, it doesn't, instead it shows a messy screen which it blinks 3 og 4 times. this screen though messy displays the same screen i had when i pushed the reset button... i tried the repair, resetting xorg.conf but nothing helps...
[10:40] <Xiong> k
[10:40] <Xiong> well

[10:42] <erUSUL> linda: can you paste the contents of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: the semicolons mean the next steps will run regardless of previos success

[10:43] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: if the previous step must succeed to complete then us &&

[10:46] <ackbahr> Hi! I'm using a laptop supposedly featuring USB2 ports (according to the add and lshw), but some HDs I've seen transfering at up to 2mb/s only show 0.6Mb/s here.... What can I do?
[10:46] <erUSUL> linda: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: are you logged on as root?
[10:47] <joaopinto> ackbahr, are you using some kind of USB hub ?
[10:47] <Xiong> ActionParsnip, yes -- shall i get aircrack, as indicated?
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: why are you logged on as root?
[10:47] <linda> erUSUL, just so you know , I followed this guide   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582
[10:47] <ackbahr> joaopinto: No, right into the computer
[10:47] <Xiong> ActionParsnip, because i have enough to do without typing sudo over and over
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: as long as you disable it later
[10:47] <Xiong> i did sudo su in the terminal window
[10:48] <linda> erUSUL,  and glxgears  speed has downgraded ever since :(
[10:48] <Xiong> as soon as i close that window, i guess that's gone
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: root disabledness is anextremly good security measure
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> sudo su isnt advised   sudo -i
[10:48] <Xiong> i'm not logged into gnome as root
[10:48] <joaopinto> ackbahr, have you tested the speed wit hdparm -t ?
[10:48] <ikonia> Xiong: you know about sudo yes
[10:48] <cfm> I need to set up a RAID-5 on a system.  I have found instructions for setting it up at install time - can I access that partitioner from an installed system?
[10:48] <erUSUL> linda: so you are using a custom kernel and custom xorg driver ... ?
[10:48] <ackbahr> joaopinto: The speeds I mentionned earlier are those given by hdparm
[10:49] <Xiong> ikonia, i know just enough to be intensely frustrated
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: thats a good thing
[10:49] <joaopinto> ackbahr, ah ok :\
[10:49] <linda> erUSUL, : i believe so, should I revert?
[10:49] <ikonia> Xiong: what is frustrating ?
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: if you reboot and read    dmesg | less   it may give some clues
[10:49] <Xiong> ikonia, i think that might be offtopic
[10:49] <Xiong> ActionParsnip, i know how to reboot; i don't know how to read dmesg | less
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: its a terminal command
[10:50] <Xiong> ah
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: dmesg | less is the command
[10:50] <erUSUL> linda: well i would revert... the performance is worse and the kernel you are using is pretty beta
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: rebooting just makes the output shorter but there will be a LOT to read
[10:50] <Xiong> so, reboot, enter terminal, and do that: dmesg | less
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: but its your system loading up and setting up IRQs and resources, interesting stuff
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: yep
[10:51] <ackbahr> joaopinto: No idea then?
[10:51] <Xiong> well, i will do this thing, and pastebin what i get -- take a few minutes, cu
[10:51] <linda> ok
[10:51] <ilja_l> hi, all
[10:51] <ilja_l> question about jauny - i'm experiencing strange behaviour, periodically the systems just stops responding for some time. Fresh installation, disabled ipv6 (just in case, didn't help though). Any ideas what might be causing it?
[10:51] <ackbahr> joaopinto: Could it be a swap or CPU or RAM or linear combination of the aforementionned?
[10:52] <ackbahr> joaopinto: ...issue?
[10:52] <zhxk> excuse me how to mount another partition as root fs lively?
[10:52] <joaopinto> ackbahr, not likely, if that was case you would feel a terrible performance on the overall system use
[10:53] <joaopinto> it's most likely an usb driver issue
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> zhxk: if its the root partition (or /) you will need to edit fstb then reboot
[10:53] <orochi> hmm...oracle buying sun doesn't look good for openoffice :< i hope they continue to develop it...it's definitely not perfect but as a cross-platform free suite it's one of the best options there is
[10:54] <faileas> orochi: actually, its one of the few options there is
[10:54] <faileas> it isn't 'best' though.
[10:54] <erUSUL> zhxk: for the second time --> sudo mount -t [fstype] /dev/sdxx /mount/point/
[10:54]  * faileas hates it
[10:54] <Ojii> what's the best way to get nvidia drivers running in ubuntu jaunty if the hardware installer fails, envyNG fails and I'm a noob?
[10:54] <silv3r_m00n> is there any tool to convert these chars like < to <
[10:54] <orochi> faileas: exactly :/ well, i tend to prefer it anyway, but there's a real lack of good alternatives yeah
[10:54] <faileas> layouts suck, uses up a load of resources and such
[10:54] <silv3r_m00n> I want to post some code in my blog
[10:55] <faileas> orochi: i like abiword, and i don't mind gnumeric. A nice little standalon precentation software is all i pine for ;p
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> orochi: if you only need a word processor, get abiword in and you're gold
[10:55] <mib_xulj02e8> i have ibex installed
[10:55] <ackbahr> joaopinto: Which is indeed not the case....
[10:55] <hydester> zhxk: chroot ?
[10:55] <mib_xulj02e8> now i want to move that panel from top to bottom but it says limited permission
[10:56] <mib_xulj02e8> what do i do
[10:56] <orochi> ActionParsnip: I do like Abiword actually, it's gotten quite good :> I do a lot of presentations as well though, and some of them need to be compatible with ms office unfortunately
[10:56] <mib_xulj02e8> to move that panel from top to bottom
[10:56] <Xiong> ActionParsnip, that didn't work as expected
[10:56] <zhxk> i don't know, i can use chroot to another directory but i don't know if it can chroot to another particion
[10:57] <spaceninja> is it possible to record the audio from the computer?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: what didnt ?
[10:57] <spaceninja> with sound recorder
[10:57] <joaopinto> zhxk, you can chroot to the mounted partition, to it's contents, not to the partition itself
[10:57] <Xiong> instead of scrolling into the scrollback, the output of that command seems to have been lost
[10:57] <mib_xulj02e8> i any answer
[10:57] <dr_willis> zhxk:  you can chroot to another partitions mountpoint.
[10:57] <Xiong> also, i'm not getting any prompt at all in the terminal window
[10:57] <mib_xulj02e8> i tried authorization
[10:57] <Preplexed> hi I guess Iknow the answer for this question all ready, but i am waning to start gento, can i use my lap top monitor and key board and a desk top instead of buying a seperate monitor and keyboard
[10:57] <bullgard4> Samba uses 'trivial databases'. Where are they described in an introduction? There is no 'man tdbtool'. There is no 'man tdbdump'. There is no 'tdbbackup'.
[10:57] <Xiong> i'm stuck on (END)
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: try again, fresh terminal.
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: dmesg | less
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: the thing in the middle is a pipe
[10:58] <mib_xulj02e8> hi ActionParsnip
[10:58] <Xiong> yah
[10:58] <mib_xulj02e8> i have ibex installed
[10:58] <Xiong> i did it again
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> hi mib_xulj02e8
[10:58] <Ojii> what's the best way to get nvidia drivers running in ubuntu jaunty if the hardware installer fails, envyNG fails and I'm a noob? already tried googling but nothing i found helped me
[10:58] <mib_xulj02e8> how to move that panel from top to bottom
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: or you can use: dmesg > ~/dmesg.txt; less ~/dmesg.txt
[10:58] <Xiong> i get a screen of stuff and at the bottom a naked colon before the cursor
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> mib_xulj02e8: i dont use gnome

[11:00] <tom_> allo?
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> !ati
[11:00] <Eneerge> It keeps bugging out for me
[11:00] <Ojii> if only that stuff on that page would work ActionParsnip
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: you need to find out why your system isnt logging stuff. dmesg is usually chock full of info
[11:01] <glitsj16> mib_xulj02e8: isn't there a "configure panel" (or something to that effect) option when you right-click on the panel ?
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> Ojii: which page?
[11:01] <pr0phet1> ojii: manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf file yourself using others that are examples. Just got my 260GTX twinview working doing it that way.

[11:02] <dr_willis> I just use the nvidia config tool to get twinview tweaked in.
[11:02] <Ojii> what should I change there?
[11:02] <Xiong> ActionParsnip, dmesg *is* full of data
[11:02] <sgallagh> I need a little help with LVM in Ubuntu 9.04. It seems like udev hasn't populated /dev/mapper by the time that S30checkfs.sh and S35mountall.sh run. However, once I'm dropped to a shell, I can do a 'mount -a' with no issues and then continue. How can I fix this?
[11:02] <Tauop> how can I repair apt, as it segv since this morning ?
[11:02] <Xiong> tons of it
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> Tauop: can you pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update
[11:02] <Xiong> i can't figure out how to capture it, tho
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: good, read it and you will see whats going on
[11:02] <Xiong> it just blorts out
[11:02] <pulzer> anyone had problems that while watching streamed video (vimeo), at random times, sound just dies, and only thing that helps is restarting the stream? Where would I go to make the bugreport on this?
[11:02] <Tauop> ActionParsnip: yep
[11:02] <Eneerge> i've tried manually building the driver, but it says "unable to build fglrx.ko"
[11:02] <Eneerge> when i'm installing
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: thats why you pipe it into less, you use cursor up and down to read up and down the ext
[11:03] <joaopinto> Tauop, what have you done before the problem ? Most likely you corrupted either apr or some system libs
[11:03] <Ojii> pr0phet1: I don't know what i should edit in that file and i don't wanna break everything if possible
[11:03] <Xiong> ActionParsnip, you are pulling my leg; i don't understand a single thing i see
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: look for errors and warnings
[11:04] <sgallagh> Is there any way to disable the "parallel boot" feature so that udev finishes creating /dev/mapper before the checkfs and mountall occur?
[11:04] <jane_> pulzer, there are reporte issues with sis an intel grafik in jaunty
[11:04] <Xiong> ActionParsnip, it is totally opaque to me
[11:04] <linduxed> anyone who knows how to get hold of a deb of alsa 1.0.19?
[11:04] <ikonia> sgallagh: it should do that anywawy because of the depends
[11:04] <Xiong> sorry but i'd be a bigger fool if i said i could make any sense of it
[11:04] <ikonia> linduxed: don't do it, it won't be an ubuntu apcakge
[11:04] <ikonia> pckage
[11:05] <Slart> bullgard4: tdb has a sourceforge page.. and a freshmeat page.. none offer too much documentation.. I'm not sure you're supposed to edit those by hand.. you could of course look at the source code as a last measure
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: read through and you will see lines relating to wireless, and the kernel module it uses
[11:05] <linduxed> ikonia: ??
[11:05] <sgallagh> ikonia: It doesn't appear to be a depend, actually
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: and you'll see it get an IRQ
[11:05] <ikonia> sgallagh: that's very surprising
[11:05] <zura> hello all
[11:05] <ikonia> linduxed: if ubuntu don't package it, dont drop it on your system
[11:05] <Eneerge> gdevilspie isn't packaged, but it works fine :)
[11:05] <linduxed> ikonia: and is that so bad? ive been forced to install some stuff already through make&&sudo make install
[11:06] <Xiong> just tell me how to copy the text out; maybe if i could paste it into office, then i could at least search through it
[11:06] <zura> can somebody help me with volume buttons which not work after installing jaunty jackalope 9.04 xubuntu
[11:06] <zura> hp nc 6400
[11:06] <ikonia> linduxed: then you'll break your package manager and possible do damage to your system unless you %100 know what you're doing
[11:06] <zura> worked with interpid 8.04
[11:06] <Xiong> or direct the output into a text file?
[11:06] <Eneerge> Is there specific options i need to enable or disable in the kernel for the ati drivers to install properly?
[11:06] <glitsj16> linduxed: there are some install scripts for alsa 1.0.19, do a websearch ... but keep ikonia's note in mind
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: I'm not sure how, but you can use ctrl+w to search
[11:06] <mobi-sheep> Eneerge: I suppose that'd be fine if you're just running the GUI to configure, as in not installing it. :)
[11:06] <Ojii> what do i have to change in xorg.conf to get nVidia drivers running?
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: dmesg > ~/dmesg.txt
[11:06] <linduxed> glitsj16: ikonia: ill be careful
[11:06] <sgallagh> Ojii: One or two cards?
[11:07] <Eneerge> what?
[11:07] <zura> anybody?
[11:07] <Ojii> sgallagh: One
[11:07] <Eneerge> i'm using --buildandinstallpkg Ubuntu/jaunty
[11:07] <sgallagh> Ojii: Should be nothing :-P
[11:07] <kora-chan> hi im now using 9.04 since yesterday and wanted to ask if theres a possibility to do a downgrade to 8.10 again. since the update when im moving a window around the desktop, my cpu goes up to 90% on the xsession and everything slows down. (im using xfce and before the update everything was smooth)
[11:07] <dr_willis> Ojii:  i dident have to change anything - the tools did it all.
[11:07] <Ojii> sgallagh: but i can't install nvidia drivers in jaunty and get errors when booting
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> zura: nobody knows what a HP NC 6400 is
[11:07] <Eneerge> It installs, but it fails when it's creating the fglrx.ko module, which means it won't give me 3d support
[11:07] <Slart> kora-chan: I don't think you can do a downgrade
[11:07] <dr_willis> Ojii:  heres my xorg.conf for my 8800gtsXXX -->  http://www.c64upgra.de/c-one/
[11:07] <zura> Ojii:laptop
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> zura: if you can give us details we may be able to help
[11:07] <Eneerge> which is what i'm looking for so i can get a good compiz setup
[11:08] <Ojii> zura: yse
[11:08] <Ojii> *yes
[11:08] <dr_willis> Ojii:  heres my xorg.conf for my 8800gtsXXX -->  oops worong url   http://pastebin.com/f56f81c58
[11:08] <mib_xulj02e8> glitsj16 the panel properties are locked
[11:08] <Xiong> ActionParsnip, where was that file created?
[11:08] <Ojii> thx dr_willies
[11:08] <sgallagh> Ojii: can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[11:08] <bullgard4> Slart: I agree that I am not supposed to edit tdbs by hand. But I stumbled over a tdb with a recent Samba error. So knowing more about them could be an advantage. (I still have not been able to fix my Samba error.)  --  Thank you for your comment.
[11:08] <jane_> kora-chan, you have sis or intel grafik ?
[11:08] <Ojii> thx dr_willis
[11:08] <zura> ActionParsnip:what details do you want to know
[11:08] <Xiong> not in  my documents folder
[11:08] <glitsj16> linduxed: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046137 has info on the script it offers, i used it recently, tested the fallback option and all's good
[11:08] <kora-chan> jane_: intel gma 945
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: in your home dir, thats what ~ means. If you are stillusing root then its in /root
[11:08] <zura> sound works, but not the volume buttons on my laptop, which worked in 8.04
[11:08] <kora-chan> jane_: im not using desktop effects
[11:08] <Xiong> no, i didn't see you ask for sudo
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> zura: what is the thing yu are naming so very vagualy? a printer? a scanner? A keyboard?
[11:09] <zura> but no longer in 9.04, only the mute button works, and is there any configuration file where I can change the values?
[11:09] <mib_xulj02e8> panel is locked
[11:09] <Slart> bullgard4: well.. the source code is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdb/  if you want to look at it
[11:09] <Ojii> dr_willis: my xorg.conf has way fewer entries, is that a big problem?
[11:09] <zura> keyboard
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> zura: see, thats useful
[11:09] <Xiong> ActionParsnip, the word 'wireless' is not found in the entire dump
[11:09] <zura> with buttons, like volume up or down
[11:09] <Ojii> sgallagh: /var/log/Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/m4e1069c6
[11:09] <RaverWild> hi guys. i have two users on my machine. one is the main, other is my wife. last night installed jaunty over intrepid as upgrade failed. recreated my main user with same username - jaunty uses the old settings from the /home. now want to recreate my wife's user, but jaunty complains the home dir already exists. is there a way to recreate the user with same username and point the home to the old home dir so jaunty make uses of old user settings?
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> zura: ok so what is wrong with te keyboard
[11:10] <jane_> kora-chan, ther are already bug reports on intel grafik lets hope they fix it  look at official bug report page
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> zura: ok, run xev in termianl. Does the terminal react when you press the buttons?
[11:10] <Xiong> neither is 'pan0'
[11:10] <glitsj16> mib_xulj02e8: you should have a setting somewhere for customizing panels, look around in your menus i'd say (on xubuntu myself, don't know the exact item name)
[11:10] <ikonia> RaverWild: useradd
[11:10] <zura> volume buttons dont work
[11:10] <Tauop> ActionParsnip: joaopinto : update-notifier-kde log -> http://pastebin.com/d6807b2de, apt-get update log -> http://pastebin.com/m59af51dc, strace of apt-get update ->http://pastebin.com/d8d83c15 . I have done nothing, only let the system make its update with kde
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: then maybe its something else
[11:10] <bullgard4> Slart: Thank you.
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: try wlan0
[11:10] <stargazer84> need some help with ubuntu + raid1
[11:10] <ikonia> stargazer84: ask
[11:10] <kora-chan> jane_: ah ok thanks i just tried to put off the internal compositor of xfce and it helped a bit, but thanks i guess i just have to wait then.
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: try the name of the kernel module it uses
[11:10] <Ojii> sgallagh: and my current xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/m79ca79ac
[11:10] <mib_xulj02e8> problem dude it says some features are locked
[11:11] <zura> I  push buttons, and I see text rolling
[11:11] <mib_xulj02e8> i dont knw where the hell can i set it
[11:11] <RaverWild> ikonia, could i with this utility make use of the old home dir for the user without complaining that it already exists?
[11:11] <sgallagh> Ojii: what are you seeing? According to that log, everything started up right
[11:11] <xiroV> I was just that stupid that i just deleted an important file, and even removed it from the trash too.. is there anything i can do to get it back? or is it lost?
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> zura: ok so it craetes a reaction. ok thats good
[11:11] <ikonia> RaverWild: yes
[11:11] <RaverWild> ikonia, thanks. will read the man now
[11:11] <zura> yes ActionParsnip
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> zura: press ONE of the buttons a few times and you will see a keycode
[11:11] <stargazer84> I need someone expiriensed with raid to help me setup my raid
[11:11] <peacewise> ubuntu 9.04 ....i tried to set the desktop appearance to extra mode but its not working
[11:11] <Ojii> sgallagh: if i go to hardware stuff in system->Hardware Drivers none is activated
[11:11] <ikonia> RaverWild: useradd -c "comment" -s shell -d /home/$username username - job done
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> zura: write that coe down andthe name of the button, do that for the others
[11:12] <Slart> xiroV: perhaps.. try photorec or testdisk
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> !shortcuts > zura
[11:12] <mib_xulj02e8> whats the good use of authorization
[11:12] <Ojii> sgallagh: also i get an error when trying to edit nvidia settings: "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server."
[11:12] <sgallagh> Ojii: And what happens if you tell it to select the nvidia driver?
[11:12] <Xiong> ActionParsnip, you just said, the name of the kernel module it uses -- how do i learn that?
[11:12] <stargazer84> I cant rebuild my raid in case of data incosistency
[11:12] <Ojii> sgallagh: it gives me a installatino bar which stays on 0% for a few seconds and closes again
[11:12] <glitsj16> mib_xulj02e8: no right-click Preferences > Unlock option ?
[11:12] <RaverWild> ikonia, thanks man
[11:12] <zura> ok, I have a keycode
[11:13] <zura> 123 for button volume up
[11:13] <mib_xulj02e8> its locked >>it would been better if i get a gnome user
[11:13] <sgallagh> Ojii: Ok, that's a bug in the restricted driver installer. File it
[11:13] <Ojii> sgallagh: ?
[11:13] <Tauop> have an idea on my apt-get update problem ?
[11:13] <glitsj16> mib_xulj02e8: true :)
[11:13] <Slart> xiroV: or try magicrescue
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: sudo lshw -C network
[11:13] <vega_> I've heard ubuntu is open source and as such, fully customizable by a decent programmer.  How do I learn to start modefying it?
[11:13] <vega_> I'm not a 'good' programmer, but I do know the basics.
[11:13] <AaronMT> !contribute
[11:13] <vega_> thanks.
[11:14] <mib_xulj02e8> vega u knw programming like c and python
[11:14] <xiroV> Slart, i'm trying.. thanks a lot
[11:14] <sgallagh> Ok, does anyone in here know anything at all about using LVM2 with Ubuntu?
[11:14] <Slart> xiroV: you're welcome.. hope you find your file again
[11:14] <ikonia> Slart: ask
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> Xiong:  sudo lshw -C network | grep module
[11:14] <sgallagh> Because it "Just Doesn't Work"
[11:14] <ikonia> Slart: sorry
[11:14] <ikonia> sgallagh: ask
[11:14] <faileas> sgallagh: use the alternate disk
[11:14] <Ojii> sgallagh: what do you mean with 'file it' and how does that solve my problem?
[11:14] <xiroV> Slart, thanks :)
[11:14]  * Slart tries to think of a question =)
[11:14] <faileas> and read very carefully. i keep mucking it up when i do ;p
[11:14] <mib_xulj02e8> any gnome user here
[11:15] <Xiong> ActionParsnip, okay, i got another big swath of output from that
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: the driver you see is something else you can search for
[11:15] <mib_xulj02e8> how to move that panel from top to bottom
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: you will, its a detailed command
[11:15] <deany> wine still causin system lock up when activating any program with a folder browser, unless I enable compiz, however, the folders/files i click on turn black, and it does eventually lockup.  any ideas?
[11:15] <stargazer84> how do i rebuild a degraded raid1 disk?
[11:15] <Ojii> mib_xulj02e8: rightclick->properties->orientation
[11:15] <sgallagh> ikonia: I've asked. I created an LVM2 /home directory. It's in the /etc/fstab as UUID=<something long> /home ext3 0 0
[11:15] <zura> what now?
[11:15] <ikonia> stargazer84: same as a normal array but mark one of the disks as "missing"
[11:15] <ikonia> sgallagh: ok - now what ?
[11:15] <mib_xulj02e8> Ojii: ITS LOCKED
[11:16] <peacewise> in ubuntu 9.04 ...i tried to activate the extra setting in visual effect but it desplays this msg "Desktop effects could not be enabled"
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: you may have noticed, Linux takes a lot fo reading. Its not windows where you just click next and hope and pray
[11:16] <sgallagh> ikonia: It does not mount at boot, causing no end of problems, but it can be mounted by hand with 'mount -a'
[11:16] <sprinkmeier_> sgallagh, i dabble...
[11:16] <Xiong> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/d5cc0b10a
[11:16] <stargazer84> ikonia: I am not familiar with that!
[11:16] <sgallagh> So it looks to me like it's probably an issue with the parallel boot
[11:16] <mib_xulj02e8> it says some features are locked if ur ubuntu user u would know
[11:16] <Xiong> it's entirely possible that i don't belong here
[11:16] <mib_xulj02e8> iam using ibex
[11:16] <Xiong> but i can't stand the thought of using windows and i refuse to buy any more of steve's koolaid
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: bingo, ok the part that says UNCLAIMED
[11:16] <ikonia> sgallagh: when you do the say "/dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1" options in the mdadm do "/dev/sda1 missing" and it will mark a disk as missing
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: means it dosnt have a driver
[11:16] <sgallagh> Ojii: Sorry, it doesn't really solve your problem, but I'm no expert on it. What I meant was go to Launchpad and file a bug on it so that someone who knows more about it will get back to you
[11:17] <peacewise> anyone???hey????Desktop effects could not be enabled
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: you need to get a driver installed for taht device
[11:17] <ikonia> sgallagh: is it just a physical disk in the volume group, or a raid device ?
[11:17] <Xiong> ActionParsnip, that is a point i came to about  2 hours ago, with another guy
[11:17] <Ojii> sgallagh: ah okay, really desperately want those drivers, can't even watch movies in fullscreen atm...
[11:17] <Xiong> the issue being, the wifi worked fine 12 hours ago
[11:17] <mib_xulj02e8> whats the good use of authorization
[11:17] <sgallagh> ikonia: It's just two physical disks in an extensible partition
[11:17] <xiroV> Slart, can you tell me how to use magicrescue? i can't see any GUI, and i don't understand the terminal "usage:"
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> !shortcuts > zura
[11:17] <Xiong> where did the driver go?
[11:17] <sgallagh> ikonia: No RAID
[11:17] <Xiong> how can it be replaced?
[11:17] <Slart> xiroV: hmm.. hang on.. let me check
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> Xiong: then websearch on how to set up an Intel 2915ABG device
[11:18] <ikonia> sgallagh: boot up again and see if the error is on the vgchange -a y option or after t
[11:18]  * Xiong looks
[11:18] <ansomniac_666> in using tuxguitar i have to chnge the sound setting n tht sometimes turns off the sound in the audio players... can neone explain?
[11:18] <stargazer84> ikonia: plz pm
[11:18] <sgallagh> Ojii: That's because the open-source driver in Ubuntu is the crappy "nv" driver instead of the good "Nouveau" driver
[11:19] <mib_xulj02e8> also iam not quite getting full sound in ubuntu
[11:19] <mib_xulj02e8> whats the issue
[11:19] <ikonia> stargazer84: why? the channel is fine
[11:19] <Slart> xiroV: you've read the man page?   man magicrescue
[11:19] <stargazer84> I cant catch up
[11:19] <c_malc> I can't see my shares in new Jaunty installation... anyone got any ideas ?
[11:19] <chocobanana> Hey everyone!
[11:19] <xiroV> Slart, oh.. i will :)
[11:19] <sgallagh> ikonia: How do I tell?
[11:19] <ikonia> stargazer84: when you do your "mdadm --create blah blah /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1" change it to mdadm --create blah blah /dev/sda1 missing"
[11:19] <xim_> anyone know, when you set up cups printing in ubuntu, what do you add in on the windows computer as the printer url? i cant find this anywhere
[11:19] <Xiong> this guy is me, not literally but he could be my twin: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343738
[11:20] <ikonia> sgallagh: remove the boot splash so you can watch the boot messages
[11:20] <Xiong> no answers
[11:20] <chocobanana> Does anyone have any idea how to restrict the desktop boundaries on a dual screen setup using different screen resolutions in Jaunty?
[11:20] <ioslipstream> `4
[11:20] <c0mp13371331337> Anyone know how to disable nautilus 'mini-mode' when opening folders from the desktop?
[11:21] <Xiong> okay, i'm going to admit defeat
[11:21] <Slart> xiroV: basically it searches a device for known filetypes and saves each file in the "output" directory.. I think it comes with several filetypes already defined (recipies i think it calls them) so I think just running "sudo magicrescue /dev/sde2" might work..
[11:21] <slabbeh> Hi, when my laptop boots (9.04) java uses between 45% and 50% of my CPU and stays there till I kill it.
[11:21] <Xiong> it's a bootstrap problem, i don't have enough knowledge to figure out the next step to learn more

[11:22] <Wolf23> anyone please: Failed to launch xine. Is it correctly installed in /usr/bin?
[11:22] <c_malc> Is there a problem with samba on jaunty ?
[11:22] <xiroV> Slart, would it then recover my deleted files or what?
[11:22] <Xiong> but it's clear to me that i will have to find a local linux buddy who is not a complete flake and buy him beer for the next year or two
[11:22] <peacewise> no such problem occured in ubuntu 8.10
[11:22] <Slart> xiroV: yes
[11:22] <Slart> xiroV:the files will end up in the output folder

[11:25] <rjharv>  peacewise: sounds like the drives for your graphics card doesn't support it
[11:25] <izmaelis> ikonia: and how should i do 8.04 -> 8.10? using "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" ?
[11:25] <xiroV> Slart, well.. your example didn't work ._.
[11:25] <peacewise> but in 8.10 it used to work..
[11:25] <Wolf23> ikonia:  Failed to launch xine. Is it correctly installed in /usr/bin? <-- what can i do and i am using amd 64
[11:25] <xiroV> Slart, i think i need more parameters.. or whatever you call em
[11:26] <peacewise> @rjharv..in ubuntu 8.10 it used to work?
[11:26] <mib_xulj02e8> whats the problem with ubuntu iam not getting full sound
[11:26] <rjharv> peacewise: did you have to enable a proprietory driver for it
[11:26] <joaopinto> peacewise, have you installed a 3D capable driver for your graphics card ?
[11:26] <Slart> xiroV: hmm.. what is the name of the partition you want to search?
[11:26] <peacewise> what??
[11:26] <peacewise> how shud i configure it?
[11:26] <joaopinto> peacewise, go to System -> Admin -> Hardware drivers
[11:26] <rjharv> peacewise: what graphics card do you have?
[11:26] <xiroV> Slart, uhm.. I'm not really much into that.. i think it's called sda1 or something..
[11:27] <sgallagh> ikonia: pvt
[11:27] <Mbear> Hi People!  I am running the Jaunty Netboox Remix on a wifi network.  Can I access the Jaunty files from a WinXP machine on the same network, and if so, how, please?
[11:27] <xiroV> Slart, but that doesn't work either
[11:27] <Slart> xiroV: ok.. let's go with that =)... where do you want to put the files you find?
[11:27] <peacewise> it doesnt show any graphic card here??...@joaopinto
[11:27] <rjharv> Mbear: look at setting up samba (its like a windows share)
[11:27] <peacewise> this feature used to work in ubuntu 8.10 ..
[11:28] <Mbear> Samba is installed on the Jaunty
[11:28] <xiroV> Slart, uhm.. the home folder i guess
[11:28] <Mbear> rjharv: Samba is installed on the Jaunty Netbook
[11:28] <Slart> xiroV: lets make a folder for it.. we don't want new files all over your home folder.. so first run "mkdir ~/recovered"
[11:28] <rjharv> Mbear: take a look at /etc/samba/smb.conf (from memory)
[11:29] <Mbear> rjharv OK, then what to do?
[11:29] <Slart> xiroV: then run "sudo magicrescue -d ~/recovered /dev/sda1"
[11:29] <rjharv> Mbear: hang on let me find you a guide
[11:29] <Slart> xiroV: that will probably take a looong time.. if you know what kind of file you want to search for we can shorten it down a bit
[11:29] <Mbear> rjharv thanks
[11:30] <mib_xulj02e8> rjharv: how to move top panel to bottom its locked
[11:30] <Blinkiz> Hi. Trying to install ubuntu server on lvm. But the setup does not seems to recognize my logical volumes. Hmm...

[11:30] <Wolf23> Slart: sorry but why i got this message?  Failed to launch xine. Is it correctly installed in /usr/bin? <-- what can i do and i am using amd 64
[11:31] <rjharv> Mbear: looks like you can do it in the gui http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/05/19/how-to-share-files-and-folders-in-ubuntu/
[11:31] <Mbear> thanks rjharv.. I will look it up
[11:32] <xiroV> Slart, i'll just recover all.. just in case..

[11:34] <Slart> Wolf23: no idea, sorry
[11:34] <Slart> xiroV: hmm.. can you paste the command you wrote here?
[11:34] <Wolf23> Slart: ok
[11:35] <rjharv> mib_xulj02e8: right click on the top bar and go to properties

[11:36] <Buerste> hi
[11:36] <arthur> hello
[11:36] <thurston> Good day fellow Bantu (People). What is "Window Manager" and what is it used for?
[11:36] <Slart> thurston: it's described better here than I can do.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_manager
[11:37] <mib_xulj02e8> :/
[11:37] <Buerste> got a problem after jaunty update, my / mdadm device which is raid5 wont come up again  =( dropping me to busybox
[11:37] <thurston> Slart: Thanks, I will have a look at it :)
[11:38] <Buerste> any idea what I may try?
[11:39] <NicolasM14> I'm back, sorry to ask the same quesiton again, but no one seems to answered meanwile... So is there anyone having problems of too big menu font size with firefox 3.1beta3 and ubunt 9.04 ?
[11:39] <cybersplice> Buerste: upgrade didn't work. probably wrong drivers in initrd. try doing a cold install.
[11:40] <pisiq> i got installed ubuntu 9.04 and i used apt-get install kubuntu-desktop but i have gnome as default, why did it changed my bootskin with kubuntu bootskin ?
[11:40] <chillitom> anyone know how to get firefox menu bar to use light fonts when a dark GTK theme is selected?
[11:41] <Buerste> cybersplice, I chrooted twice downloaded the kernel new from server, what else may I do?
[11:41] <Buerste> cybersplice, I don't want to reinstall the complete system
[11:41] <cybersplice> Buerste: I don't know the procedure for making an initrd well enough to feel comfortable giving advice. I'd suggest mounting the raid array with a livecd, backing up your data, and reinstalling.
[11:42] <NicolasM14> chillitom: what verison of FX do you have ?
[11:42] <Buerste> cybersplice, that the stupid thing I did every time I upgraded ubuntu till now -.-
[11:43] <chillitom> NicolasM14, 3.0 and 3.5
[11:43] <cybersplice> Yeah, I don't upgrade production equipment. :)
[11:43] <cybersplice> If you want stability, why not use 8.04?
[11:43] <Buerste> cybersplice, because its buggy ...
[11:44] <cemc> hi. wireshark is giving me 'bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)' when I want to play a RTP stream. any ideas why?
[11:44] <Buerste> cybersplice, crashing often on my system, sound is gone for no reason, sound is lagging, graphical issius
[11:44] <cybersplice> Buerste: in what way?
[11:44] <Arnaud__> s
[11:44] <quazimodo_> hey, im trying to copy over my entire /usr onto another hard disk (aka kaveh from before) and, using a live cd, it seems to be broken i cant startx (i only have a Xubuntu live cd) anyways point is that my /usr folder seems to be empty when i look at it from command line. i am 100% certain im lookin at the right spot, copying the folder (cp -r) just copies the folder and no contents, all contents seem to be missing
[11:44] <quazimodo_> any clues?
[11:44] <NicolasM14> chillitom: wich verison of Ubuntu ?
[11:45] <ale_> I cannot use the visual effects in the appearance preferences.. Could please someone help me?
[11:45] <abc123> hi
[11:45] <cybersplice> Buerste: Probably stick with 8.10, and wait for a few weeks before upgrading.
[11:45] <chillitom> NicolasM14,  9.04
[11:45] <AaronMT> quazimodo: Make sure it's the right partition.
[11:45] <xiroV> i blacklisted my wireless network driver, and a while after, i removed it from the blacklist again.. but it still seems to be blacklisted for some reason.. any ideas or solutions?
[11:45] <quazimodo_> AaronMT: im certain it is
[11:45] <chillitom> NicolasM14, the NewWave desktop theme
[11:45] <cybersplice> You could even try reinstalling using existing partition layout
[11:46] <quazimodo_> every other file on the partition is there, except what should be in /usr
[11:46] <NicolasM14> and you installed the 3.5 version from the binary downloaded on mozilla.com ? Don't you have any font size problems in FX menus ?
[11:46] <quazimodo_> unless
[11:46] <Buerste> cybersplice, does the desktopinstaller now support mdadm devices?
[11:46] <quazimodo_> if my /usr is using a different partition then the files will be in the other partition?
[11:47] <cybersplice> Buerste: I don't know off the top of my head.
[11:47] <quazimodo_> im a tool xD i think my /usr is in the sda2 while everything else is sda1 - thanks AaronMT
[11:47] <ale_> I cannot use the visual effects in the appearance preferences.. Could please someone help me?
[11:47] <abc123> Hi. What is the best way to set up grub to use a usb hard drive to host ubuntu, without it choking when the usb disk is not plugged in?
[11:48] <abc123> :) Sorry I am new to grub, and coming back to linux after an absence of 4 years
[11:49] <hbekel> abc123: i guess any os will choke if it's just not there... as well as a bootloader that tries to load it. please clarify what you want to do
[11:49] <Flynsarmy> When i start up my PC ubuntu informs me my battery is down to 48% of what it was when i first bought it and that it 'may be broken'. Is there a menu somewhere that shows me this information after i close the dialogue that appears at startup?
[11:49] <NicolasM14> chillitom: and you installed the 3.5 version from the binary downloaded on mozilla.com ? Don't you have any font size problems in FX menus ?
[11:50] <Flynsarmy> It's not in the power management menu
[11:51] <abc123> I  would like the bootloader to default to my win xp, on /dev/sda2. If it finds the plugged in usb, I would like it to give me the choice boot windows or ubuntu (on /dev/sdb3).
[11:52] <mobi-sheep> Is it safe to purge libgnome-pilot2?
[11:52] <mobi-sheep> !info libgnome-pilot2
[11:52] <abc123> I could always fdisk /mbr, or sys c:, in win/dos, but then I'd lose my ubuntu
[11:52] <gsd> hi, what's the confg file in homefolder which contains the screen resolution?
[11:52] <mobi-sheep> !xorg | gsd
[11:52] <psychomantis> hey guys
[11:52] <Sparkie> Ok, if i use a ubuntu live cd, on my windows xp laptop, and i install some programs, will it stuff up windows or my computer?
[11:53] <mobi-sheep> gsd: It's not in your ~/home directory.  That's under /etc (System nationwide config files) ;)
[11:53] <gsd> mobi-sheep: but there are different resolutions for each user right?
[11:53] <eagles0513875> hey guys is there a gnome base backage that has a basic install of gnome
[11:53] <abc123> sparkie: it did for me, but there is no way that it should have to
[11:54] <Sparkie> what happened to your computer abc123?
[11:54] <Co_17_allone> hy
[11:54] <cybersplice> eagles0513875: ubuntu-desktop :)
[11:54] <ale_> hallo?
[11:54] <ale_> I cannot use the visual effects in the appearance preferences.. Could please someone help me? pleeeease
[11:54] <gsd> mobi-sheep: at least I'm with that prob. I just have the resolution fuzzy with a certain user
[11:54] <mobi-sheep> Sparkie: No.  The point of Live CD is to allow you to understand what you would be doing on Ubuntu (Linux).  This way, you can go back to Windows if you felt like you're not ready.  Anything you do on LiveCD will not affect Windows unless you intend to change partitions or similar administrative tasks.
[11:54] <hbekel> abc123: that's not possible afaik. grub isn't "scriptable" in that way. why don't you just use winxp as the default entry and ubuntu as the second, and prompt for 3 seconds or something?
[11:54] <eagles0513875> cybersplice: i dont want all the fluff that comes prepacked with it i want gnome with nothing installed like kde you have kdebase which has nothing installed
[11:55] <Myrtti> !info gnome-desktop-environment | eagles0513875
[11:55] <Sparkie> Ok, thanks a heap mobi-sheep, very helpop :)
[11:55] <mobi-sheep> gsd: I don't know.  I'm a single user on my laptop. :)
[11:55] <gsd> ok :)
[11:55] <eagles0513875> Myrtti: will i be able to remove programs that i dont need form it
[11:55] <abc123> sparkie: well I installed ubuntu from cdrom onto my usb disk (250Gb), and it modified the Master boot record on my fixed disk. Now my system fails to boot unless I have the usb drive plugged in.
[11:56] <Sparkie> ouch
[11:56] <szf> ale_: you have intel x3100?
[11:56] <Myrtti> eagles0513875: same as with all the other virtual packages
[11:56] <ale_> szf: no I have an nvidia card
[11:56] <mobi-sheep> gsd: Meanwhile, I suggest you boot into the said user and look into X.org configuration file.  Maybe you can change the settings from there.
[11:57] <szf> ale_: sorry, i cant help w nvidia
[11:57] <eagles0513875> Myrtti: thing is on kubuntu-desktop you end up removing the entire package to remove what you dont want.
[11:57] <abc123> hbekel: Thanks, that is quite a good idea, but will grub allow that if the usb drive is not plugged in?
[11:57] <hbekel> abc123: can you change the boot order in your bios to try to boot from usb first, then fixed disk? if soo, reinstall the win xp bootloader to the fixed disk and install grub on the mbr of the usb drive itself
[11:57] <ale_> szf: thanks anyway
[11:57] <Juanjo> Hi all
[11:57] <Juanjo> Is Debiand more dificult than Ubuntu?
[11:58] <mobi-sheep> Juanjo: It is, if you're using a latest hardware... because of compatible.
[11:58] <bazhang> Juanjo, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:58] <hbekel> abc123: for my first suggestion, grub should only care that the usb drive is not there if you try the ubuntu entry
[11:58] <abc123> hbekel: good idea. That is just fdisk /mbr in dos right?
[11:58] <chillitom> NicolasM14, I installed 3.5 from the ubuntu-mozilla-daily PPA.. but I have the same problem on 3.0 and 3.5
[11:58] <Myrtti> eagles0513875: yes?
[11:58] <peacewise> rjharv thr?
[11:58] <cybersplice> ale_:  did you upgrade, or do a clean install?
[11:59] <eagles0513875> Myrtti: is there just a gnome base package that comes with no programs installed
[11:59] <ale_> cybersplice: I just installed the new 9.04
[11:59] <ale_> on an empty HD
[11:59] <hbekel> abc123: i guess so. but you need to know how to boot your usb ubuntu via lice cd and install grub on the usb's mbr
[11:59] <ikonia> eagles0513875: gnome-desktop
[11:59] <cybersplice> ale_: on bare metal?
[11:59] <ale_> cybersplice: sorry?
[12:00] <cybersplice> ale_: Try downloading the latest nVidia driver and reinstalling it. Some graphics drivers were blacklisted due to crashes in compiz.
[12:00] <hbekel> abc123: all given that you can tell your bios to boot from usb first. then you should be able to plug in usb and boot to ubuntu by default, otherwise boot win by default
[12:00] <ale_> cybersplice: in synaptic?
[12:01] <Myrtti> eagle: there is no such thing as gnome base package with no programs installed.
[12:01] <gsd> mobi-sheep: there must be some file in the home folder
[12:02] <jbjonesjr> Anyone in here able to help me fix a busted root device?  while booting, the boot device never responds and is listed as not existing, but when booting into a livecd, I can mount this device with no problem
[12:02] <mobi-sheep> eagle: You wanted Gnome desktop with no programs, right?  That's not possible because the apps that came with Gnome-desktop are from Gnome.  Ubuntu have no say in this. :)
[12:02] <jbjonesjr> This was caused somehow by an incorrect jaunty upgrade.  My system has all the jaunty packages, but is somehow running the 8.10 kernel, so i know the upgrade was bonked
[12:03] <NicolasM14> chillitom: do you think that our two problems can be the same causes ?

[12:05] <tsimpson> !tar
[12:05] <mobi-sheep> Sparkie: Use FileRoller (GUI Archive).
[12:05] <Weredictionary> I have attempted to replace the standard Desktop sounds using the Ubuntu sound and login menues.
[12:05] <Sparkie> Wheres that
[12:05] <Sparkie> i'm completely new to ubuntu
[12:05] <Weredictionary> So far, however, I have only suceeded in replacing the login sound.
[12:05] <iHAL> spaceninja: the entire first act was an attempt to build to the idea that religion is bad, mmk, but they never complete that idea in the rest of the film

[12:06] <Sparkie> where do i type that
[12:06] <ITguru> I know this may sound silly, but do firewalls also block outbound traffic if generated on the localhost?
[12:07] <Weredictionary> Contributing to my confusion is the fact that the login settings only seem to accept .wav sounds while the sound settings only accept .ogg sounds.
[12:07] <progre55> Rewt`, DJones, thanks! :)
[12:07] <Rewt`> ITguru: yes, it's a two way street
[12:07] <Weredictionary> Is anyone else familiar with this problem?
[12:07] <chillitom> NicolasM14, I just noticed it's the same for Thunderbird so I'm guessing it's a XulRunner problem
[12:07] <tsimpson> ITguru: it depends on the firewall, but for most domestic firewalls, no
[12:07] <spaceninja> iHAL: you wont find any real truth outside yourself anyway

[12:10] <iHAL> no anddy, just no
[12:10] <NicolasM14> chillitom: I saw that there's a font problem on ubuntu 9.04 because of the new screen detection but I don't think it's related beacause mine only happend with FX and TB betas (the standard ubuntu firefox 3.0 well works on the same profile)
[12:10] <Weredictionary> I suppose not.

[12:11] <ale_> hallo everybody. I have an nvidia 7800 and I'd like to install the nvidia drivers. Now if I search for nvidia-gtx in synaptic, I find several versions (96,173,180,71).. which should I install for enabling the visual effects? Thanks a lot
[12:11] <mobi-sheep> ale_: System --> Admin --> Hardware Drivers.
[12:11] <ITguru> Rewt`, tsimpson hbekel - Thanks for that, I thought I was going mad! - I just needed confirmation
[12:12] <ale_> mobi-sheep: it doesnt work
[12:12] <ale_> mobi-sheep: I mean, there's nothing in there
[12:12] <iHAL> you'd be surprised spaceninja, just open your mind and get your head in the game
[12:12] <iHAL> don't have some video do it for you
[12:12] <histo> ale_: it should detect your card and show that there are restricted drivers availible. if not try the 180 drivers.
[12:12] <mobi-sheep> ale_: Did you install Jaunty recently?  Did you update / upgrade everything already
[12:12] <histo> ale_: or you can use drivers from nvidia if you want
[12:13] <histo> !nvidia > ale_
[12:13] <ale_> thanks
[12:13] <NicolasM14> Anyone have clues about our problem (chillitom and I)
[12:14] <ale_> I'll try looking at the binaryhowto :)

[12:15] <iHAL> jesus spaceninja, take a stand on the issue
[12:15] <NicolasM14> mobi-sheep: The one we discuss is about a menu font proble with Firefox and thunderbird betas with ubuntu 9.04
[12:15] <histo> chillitom: some of the dark themes have directions in the tar.gz
[12:15] <iHAL> get your head up there
[12:15] <iHAL> when you do that, you'll learn how stupid that movie was
[12:15] <mobi-sheep> NicolasM14: You're using betas? ^.^
[12:15] <spaceninja> iHAL: you don't need an opinion about stuff, it locks your mind.
[12:15] <orangey> hey all!
[12:15] <NicolasM14> Mine is that font is to large. chillitom's is that it's too dark.
[12:16] <orangey> any ideas how I can install flash 9 again on jaunty?   Rename ".mozilla" to ".mozilla-backup" and see if the problem still is there.
[12:17] <mobi-sheep> NicolasM14: It's in your home directory (~/user).  This will start firefox on a new profile.
[12:18] <iHAL> I've been listening in on that issue before I saw zeitgeist and to be honest, I thought it was rather childish.  Now opinion wise, those without an opinion can do nothing about the problem, it's only those with conviction that bring about action
[12:18] <iHAL> without that opinion, you are the sheep spaceninja
[12:18] <necko> hi
[12:18] <necko> anybody there
[12:18] <spaceninja> iHAL: I have opinions about stuff, I just don't care about those who doesn't bring me any good.
[12:19] <iHAL> then you are the sheep and the easily swayed
[12:19] <spaceninja> iHAL: if it doesn't feel good, then stop doing it.
[12:19] <spaceninja> iHAL: so?
[12:19] <iHAL> that's a piss poor attitude in life spaceninja
[12:19] <bazhang> iHAL, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:19] <spaceninja> are you holier than me if I'm a sheep?
[12:19] <nperry> !netsplit
[12:19] <bazhang> spaceninja, you too please
[12:19] <iHAL> nope, just a man
[12:20] <spaceninja> what?
[12:20] <iHAL> anyways, I'm off to install arch
[12:20] <unop> spaceninja, offtopic ..
[12:20] <bazhang> !ot | iHAL spaceninja
[12:20] <gartral> freedroidRPG fails with my Intrepid savefile...
[12:20] <bazhang> iHAL, please continue with spaceninja in #ubuntu-offtopic (not here)
[12:20] <spaceninja> want to continue? :)
[12:20] <iHAL> not continuing, leaving
[12:21] <spaceninja> oh well, I wanted to learn something
[12:21] <iHAL> no, busy, installing arch linux
[12:21] <thecrome> Hey
[12:21] <nperry> Welcome back :P
[12:22] <orangey> any ideas how to downgrade flash 10 to flash 9 in jaunty?
[12:22] <NicolasM14> mobi-sheep: I already tried the new profile, that's the first thing I done infact. Nothing changes, the font is still too big for menus. What a screenshot ?
[12:22] <mobi-sheep> orangey: What's your issue with Flash?  Flash 10 is doing great for me.
[12:22] <mobi-sheep> NicolasM14: Do send the SS.
[12:22] <Q_Continuum> Upgrading from 8.10->9.04, via a fresh install on a secondary HD, then copying over home directory; would I encounter any extra difficulties if I went from 32 to 64-bit at the same time?
[12:22] <thecrome> Got a server running at a friends (a distance away) with ubuntu server, and I would like to open some ports in his router... But the routers web interface is not compatible with lynx (I think the lack of javascript support is the reason.) Is it possible to bypass this somehow?
[12:22] <Co_17_allone> Hy Marina|Lappy
[12:22] <orangey> mobi-sheep: I'm using old systems, and it's unbelievably slow
[12:23] <gharz> guys, i've installed xubuntu-desktop.... how to i complete uninstall xubuntu-desktop (i.e. xfce login, etc.)?
[12:23] <orangey> mobi-sheep: in fact, it's really slow even on a modern system
[12:23] <Co_17_allone> #buntu
[12:23] <orangey> mobi-sheep: basically I'm having problems I never have had with flash sticking on videos.
[12:23] <indus> help with update notifier needed
[12:23] <joaopinto> thecrome, have you tried links ?  I am not sure about the JS support
[12:24] <NicolasM14> mobi-sheep: SS ? what's that ?
[12:24] <thecrome> joaopinto: Nope, I thought it was more or less exactly the same ;P
[12:24] <mobi-sheep> orangey: You can download Flash 9 / Flash 10 linux tar gz.  Untar it and you'll get libso...something.  Place it in ~/.mozilla/plugins
[12:24] <thecrome> but I'll try, thanks
[12:24] <mobi-sheep> NicolasM14: SS --> Screenshot.
[12:24] <yao_ziyuan> i have a usb webcam
[12:24] <orangey> mobi-sheep: thanks
[12:24] <yao_ziyuan> can linux run it with a standard driver?
[12:24] <indus> yao_ziyuan: yes it can i too have usb webcam
[12:24] <gharz> !xubuntu
[12:24] <mobi-sheep> orangey: No problem.  I assume you're using Firefox.
[12:24] <NicolasM14> mobi-sheep: sorry :) I send it in some seconds.
[12:25] <indus> yao_ziyuan: which webcam is it?

[12:25] <progre55> hey guys, any programs to convert .ogv video into avi or smth? )
[12:25] <mobi-sheep> !info vlc | progre55
[12:26] <WilliamBlake> hi, i want to encode ALAC, but can't find an application in the repositories!
[12:26] <mobi-sheep> progre55: VLC can convert on-the-fly for you.
[12:26] <progre55> mobi-sheep, I've been using vlc, but never knew it could convert videos :)
[12:26] <dagomar> I have a problem, my apache user doesnt have rights to change files that were put in its directory by another user. I tried making them part of the same group, but that didnt work, the file can only be modified by the other user. How can I change this?
[12:26] <thecrome> joaopinto: got 404/notfound, so I'm guessing its because of the JS.... The URL is http://<IP_ADDRESS>/javascript:GoAndRemember('/cgi/b/games/ov and so on')
[12:26] <gsd> what's the command to open the Screen Resolution application?
[12:27] <mobi-sheep> progre55: You probably need to figure out how to.  Look in VLC wikipedia or something.  :)
[12:27] <wtv> how do i change the default keyboard layout in xubuntu?
[12:28] <progre55> mobi-sheep, thanks man :)

[12:29] <gsd> mobi-sheep: you know how to call this from the console: System->Preferences->screen resolution
[12:30] <mobi-sheep> gsd: Not quite sure.  Try gksudo nvidia-settings
[12:30] <gsd> :)
[12:30] <Almindor> hello
[12:31] <kholerabb1> can I install nemo on jaunty?
[12:31] <Almindor> I have a relatively new machine with integrated intel graphics card
[12:31] <Almindor> should I install 8.10 or 9.04?
[12:31] <Almindor> I read that intel gfx driver in 9.04 in combination with latest X is performing horribly
[12:31] <gordonjcp> kholerabb1: probably, what's nemo?
[12:31] <yao_ziyuan> indus: HISPEED
[12:31] <edi_99> Hi. I'm having trouble when watching youtube and resizing the vid to fullscreen. The screen just fades to black and then freezes. What should I do?
[12:31] <mobi-sheep> Almindor: 9.04 is the latest version.  You should not always believe what you hear.  Problems vary for every user.
[12:31] <yao_ziyuan> indus: TOPSEED
[12:32] <yao_ziyuan> indus: TOPSPEED
[12:32] <mobi-sheep> Almindor: And if you are feeling unease, you should stick with Ubuntu LTS 8.04.  I find Jaunty to be working well for me.
[12:32] <Almindor> mobi-sheep, well honestly 9.04 is a failure for me (Ati mobility radeon x1600)
[12:32] <indus> yao_ziyuan: thats  the name of webcam?
[12:32] <Almindor> mobi-sheep, but I don't need 3d on this intel machine, just nice 2d speeds (and phoronix is a pretty decent source IMHO)
[12:32] <indus> yao_ziyuan: what is the problem with the webcam? does it not work?
[12:32] <mobi-sheep> Almindor: Did you look up the problems / solution on Ubuntu Community site?
[12:32] <sindre> Question: Just installed netbook-remix on top of ubuntu studio jaunty using this "how to" http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-netbook-remix-in-ubuntu-810804.html Every thing works fine exept from when i open a window (program) it goes to maximized by default, and thats okey, but the line whit exit, minimize and maximize buttons disapperes when window is maximized..

[12:33] <quazimodo_> anybody know how i can use a livecd to modify the fstab of an existing ubuntu installation?
[12:33] <yao_ziyuan> indus: trying
[12:33] <Almindor> mobi-sheep, there's none, ati dropped r500- cards from fglrx drivers and older ones don't support this new X
[12:33] <mobi-sheep> sindre: That's netbook.  You should right-click on the taskbar (which the window is) and you'll get a menu.
[12:33] <Almindor> mobi-sheep, I'm stuck without proper 3d on 9.04 (will downgrade tho)
[12:34]  * Almindor usually keeps with latest as well, but gfx performance is a must
[12:34] <mobi-sheep> Almindor: Good luck.  I don't think you can downgrade, but yeah.  You might have to install it again. :(
[12:34] <indus> in terminal type lsusb
[12:34] <yao_ziyuan> indus: xsane recognized the webcam and can take a picture but the picture is nonsense
[12:34] <rw> Hi. I'm wondering if there is a way to disable the 60 second waiting period when trying to shutdown or log out.
[12:34] <hbekel> quazimodo_: boot the live cd, mount the partition that hosts /etc/fstab, edit it, umount, done
[12:35] <sgallagh> Almindor: what's wrong with the open-source "radeon" driver?
[12:35] <indus> yao_ziyuan: name of webcam is topspeed?
[12:35] <Almindor> sgallagh, it doesn't do shaders well
[12:36] <Almindor> sgallagh, try savage2 or penumbra (I payed for both, so no I'm not sticking with radeon at least not yet)
[12:36] <deany> radeon driver blows with full 3D games.. its ok for games like hedgewars tho
[12:36] <deany> hence, im back on intrepic
[12:36] <Almindor> yeah, will do same on this machine
[12:36] <DJones> rw: I think this will help https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fast-user-switch-applet/+bug/364858
[12:36] <Almindor> I think I'll stick with 8.10 for intel too
[12:37] <Kahomono> I am getting "Could not open location 'davs://{servername}:2078/'  HTTP Error: Connection terminated unexpectedly" in Jaunty/Nautilus when trying to connect to a secure WebDAV on port 2078.

[12:37] <Polterge|st> I have a question about getting pidgin to work in Ubuntu 9.04. Why is it that I have to do "killall pidgin; mv ~/.purple ~/.purple_old; pidgin &"   to get pidgin to work everytime and how can I keep my current settings so that it will logon every time from now on with the settings I've added ?
[12:37] <yao_ziyuan> indus: i'm in china and it's probably a small chinese brand
[12:38] <yao_ziyuan> indus: Gsou Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.,formerly known as(Shenzhen Topspeed ... Gsou tiny portable webcam,specially designed for laptop pc.pc camera. more ...
[12:38] <ard1an> ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04 Wich is better ?
[12:38] <mobi-sheep> Polterge|st: That's strange thing I heard.  Try and start Pidgin with a clean state, then from there... make new settings to suit your needs.  And see if it start again without moving .purple.
[12:39] <indus> yao_ziyuan: try command lsusb in terminal
[12:39] <Polterge|st> mobi-sheep, I have tried that and it will not connect out
[12:39] <mobi-sheep> Polterge|st: Is it possible that you're using outdated .purple folder (settings)?
[12:39] <NicolasM14> ard1an: last one is better of course.
[12:39] <ard1an> Oks :)
[12:39] <Kerio> but beware of lots of bug
[12:39] <Polterge|st> mobi-sheep, I don't know how they would be outdated. I  updated to Ubuntu 9.04
[12:39] <mobi-sheep> Polterge|st: Then I don't know why this is happening but it is probably annoying.  I can't help you.  Sorry.
[12:40] <TarBar> I was just installing ubuntu server, My computer shutdown and now when I try to start it up I'm unable to boot into the cd...
[12:40] <TarBar> any ideas?
[12:40] <Kerio> im gonna wait til i try the 9.04
[12:40] <yao_ziyuan> indus: Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0ac8:303b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. ZC0303 WebCam
[12:40] <NicolasM14> ard1an: I just updated from 8.10 to 9.04 and except a firefox beta 3.5 problem all works perfvectly on my laptop.
[12:40] <yao_ziyuan> indus: anyway, i found the manufacturer's website and it only provides windows drivers
[12:41] <yao_ziyuan> indus: is it true that normally a usb webcam can use linux's standard driver?
[12:41] <kholerabb1> my webcam works
[12:41] <NicolasM14> mobi-sheep: http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/3434/fx31b3jaunty.png and http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/8163/fx30jaunty.png
[12:42] <indus> yao_ziyuan: in the linux world ,there is no such thing as a driver for most hardware
[12:42] <mobi-sheep> NicolasM14: Is this related to System --> Preferences --> Appearances --> (Look Under Fonts Size) ?
[12:43] <indus> yao_ziyuan: all reverse engineered into the kernel itself, i have a usb webcam logitech which works without installing anything
[12:43] <gsd> how can I change the screen resolution in gnome2/ubuntu through the console (and not by xorg.conf) ?
[12:43] <Kahomono> I have a new question.  I am asking the question [I am getting "Could ... ... Windoze machines on the same LAN.] and it is not even being acknowledged.  It appears to conform to the guidelines I have read for a reasonable if not "good" question here.  Can someone tell me why it should be, to all appearances, invisible?
[12:43] <NicolasM14> mobi-sheep: I'm in 96dpi in system prefs. And no other program have this pb except Thunderbird 3.0 beta which is based on the same engine as FX...
[12:44] <orochi_> arg...no information at all about openoffice on the oracle site or in their faq :< i suspect a lot of the java projects are going to get the axe as well
[12:44] <indus> yao_ziyuan: it actually uses the gspca kernel module/driver whatever you call it
[12:44] <Almindor> indus, um.. "into the kernel itself" not quite, depends on how the kernel is compiled and which modules are loaded but in the end it is drivers
[12:44] <yao_ziyuan> indus: you mean the kernel specializes for every major hardware brand?
[12:44] <orochi_> (our office just migrated from ms office to open office recently, it's really too bad)
[12:44] <Almindor> indus, windows has some "default" drivers too
[12:44] <yao_ziyuan> indus: anyway i have a win xp virtual machine in vbox and i may use this usb device in it...
[12:45] <Almindor> yao_ziyuan, nah, he just ment to say that drivers in linux are usually part of the kernel package group
[12:45] <mobi-sheep> NicolasM14: Well, since you're using 7inch netbook, you might be well off with 72 DPI.  And you're using Beta, which shouldn't be helped at all.  Also, you could use Font Rendering --> Subpixel smoothing (LCD).
[12:45] <Almindor> yao_ziyuan, with minor exceptions of course (e.g: proprietary nvidia driver or something new which didn't get into the given kernel release)_
[12:45] <indus> Almindor: yeah
[12:46] <yao_ziyuan> is xsane an app for webcam?
[12:46] <quazimodo_> how can I modify the fstab of an existing ubuntu installation with a live cd?
[12:46] <EdgEy> scanner
[12:46] <mobi-sheep> !info xsane | yao_ziyuan
[12:46] <Almindor> oh btw
[12:46] <indus> yao_ziyuan: many webcams are using the same chip inside which is how linux loads the kernel modules for that device
[12:46] <NicolasM14> mobi-sheep: no, using a tohsiba 15" laptop. I just reduced the firefox window size to make the SS smaller...
[12:46] <NicolasM14> mobi-sheep:
[12:46] <NicolasM14> I have to go. If anyone have clues, just post here. I'll read it when I'll be back. Thanks !
[12:46] <Almindor> how do you make an ntfs disk/partition automount on boot
[12:46] <Almindor> I don't want to manually edit fstab
[12:46] <yao_ziyuan> my xsane can capture an image, but just nonsense. i think maybe i should do some parameter tuning
[12:46] <Almindor> (the disk is found but in 9.04 you need to open it to mount it)
[12:46] <Polterge|st> oh well maybe after I reboot later on my .purple folder settings will stick and pidgin will connect out for me without me having to change my settings
[12:47] <mobi-sheep> yao_ziyuan: Did you try cheese?
[12:47] <mobi-sheep> !info cheese | yao_ziyuan
[12:47] <Polterge|st> if not then I may have to uninstall pidgin and erase the .purple folder and reinstall pidgin from scratch
[12:47] <indus> yao_ziyuan: yours is zstar micro which uses gspca module
[12:47] <yao_ziyuan> mobi-sheep: so you mean xsane isn't for webcams?
[12:47] <younder> rlol
[12:47] <mobi-sheep> yao_ziyuan: It's for scanners. :)
[12:47] <Polterge|st> and if that doesn't work then I dunno
[12:47] <yao_ziyuan> !
[12:47] <indus> try the software xawtv which helps you tweak ur settings
[12:48] <stpr> could someone suggest me a good blogging application for ubuntu? thanks...
[12:48] <yao_ziyuan> so cheese is the typical app for webcams?
[12:48] <stib> Hi All. Where do I find the images for the login splash screen (Gnome)
[12:48] <indus> yao_ziyuan: xsane can take pictures from a webcam yes
[12:48] <mobi-sheep> yao_ziyuan: Yes.  That's correct.
[12:48] <indus> yao_ziyuan: ya cheese is for capturing images from webcam true
[12:48] <yao_ziyuan> my xsane result is just some grayscale lines
[12:48] <indus> But dont expect it to adjust
[12:49] <indus> yao_ziyuan: for me too xsane doesnt work
[12:49] <indus> yao_ziyuan: try xawtv from synaptic
[12:49] <mobi-sheep> !usplash | stib
[12:49] <hbekel> Kahomono: you're question was not very specific, and you haven't given much information. try to narrow it down. does it happen with other browsers, too? is the problem on the client or server side? Can you see anything in the server error log (if available to you) etc...
[12:49] <indus> yao_ziyuan: lets you tweak ur settings
[12:49] <Polterge|st> you can use ekiga to take a picture with your webcam though can't you ?
[12:49] <yao_ziyuan> ok
[12:49] <yao_ziyuan> cheese works!
[12:49] <stib> mobi-sheep: thanks
[12:50] <mobi-sheep> yao_ziyuan: Here you go! :)
[12:50] <mobi-sheep> stib: Welcomed.
[12:50] <yao_ziyuan> thank you all
[12:50] <Polterge|st> ekiga wouldn't give you as much options as something like cheese probably but still allows you to take a simple picture
[12:50] <indus> yao_ziyuan: cool
[12:50] <yao_ziyuan> and i think cheese should be more automatically integrated into the system
[12:50] <yao_ziyuan> like in windows, a webcam is automatically in the device tree
[12:50] <indus> http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html  this page says your webcam works very well
[12:50] <yao_ziyuan> seamless integration with windows explorer
[12:51] <mobi-sheep> yao_ziyuan: Linux is NOT Windows.  Keep that in mind. ;)
[12:51] <Kahomono> hbekel: thanks I was just checking the log site to see if I was squelched.  The problem appears to be on the client side, since the Windows machines can connect the server would seem to be OK.  I tried both Nautilus and Firefox, neither can connect from the Jaunty box.  If you can tell me where to look I will check the server logs, I am more of a Windows jockey
[12:51] <indus> mobi-sheep: webcam integration will soon be as good as in windows
[12:51] <gsd> !xorg
[12:52] <indus> laptops webcams work better here i think
[12:52] <Crash> i guys can somebody tell me why jaunty loads in 5mins 40sec on my 2.54ghz pentium 4? its installed on ext4 partition by the way
[12:52] <stpr> I'm looking for a desktop utility for posting to a blog site like blogger. Can someone suggest me one? thanks
[12:52] <mobi-sheep> indus: No problem in webcam integration for non-laptop devices.  Cheese is only a webcam apps. :)
[12:52] <mobi-sheep> No point*  ^^
[12:52] <indus> hehe
[12:53] <indus> actually my logitech cam needs tweaking with xawtv for brightness
[12:53] <indus> or its very very dark
[12:53] <hbekel> Kahomono: sorry, i don't know much about webdav. if it's provided by some apache server, check it's error logs (probably /var/log/httpd/error.log, but that depends on the server configuration)
[12:53] <indus> and it loses settings on reboot

[12:55] <GNUix> snek: I'm having the same issue, I suspect its because by default its using the 32bit flash plugin.  when I get some time I'm going to remove flash and download it from adobe and install myself to see if that fixes it
[12:56] <snek> yeah i sort of figure that would be the problem too, let me login to home where i have Jaunty 32bit installed and test if that works without problems
[12:56] <sata> There's no sound in my laptop(Dell studio 1555) after i installed jaunty. I also tried building alsa-1.0.19 but with no success. Please help.
[12:57] <devilbues> exit
[12:58] <snek> GNUix: yes it seems to work fine at home
[12:58] <mobi-sheep> snek GNUix | If you're running amd 64bit -- Use http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
[12:58] <snek> GNUix: guess it is a x64 problem
[12:58] <quantum> hi there , I installed torcs from synaptic yesterday , it worked fine but today the quick race and non-championship races are not working ... they load and keep showing READY
[12:58] <GNUix> snek: that sucks.. easy to fix tho, just remove the flash plugin from the repos and install it from adobe.. I don't see why they wouldn't use the 64bit plugin
[12:59] <Wolf23> Help me!! why i got this message?  Failed to launch xine. Is it correctly installed in /usr/bin? <-- what can i do and i am using amd 64
[12:59] <snek> mobi-sheep: thnks for the link, will try it out right away
[12:59] <mobi-sheep> GNUix: flashplugin non-free.  Not free. :)
[12:59] <Polterge|st> can anyone help me figure out why I have to move my .purple folder everytime to get pidgin to connect out ?
[13:00] <GNUix> mobi-sheep: and? I installed flashplugin non-free .. so why have the 32bit version available and not the 64bit version?
[13:00] <mobi-sheep> snek: Download the TAR.  Untar it and you'll get libso.something.so.  Place it in ~/.mozilla/plugins
[13:00] <snek> mobi-sheep: kk will give it a shot
[13:01] <Polterge|st> the alternative if you want the non free is to just get ubuntu-tweak
[13:01] <Polterge|st> that program has some nice features to it
[13:01] <JuJuBee> Is something up with Dolphin?  When I start it it uses 90+%CPU for about 10 minutes then settles down to normal.
[13:01] <abama2> how to view the file install path from package using apt-get install ppp?
[13:01] <heath|work> !signature
[13:01] <mobi-sheep> GNUix: The practice of sticking with Open Source.  The same concept why Flash isn't installed by Default.  Also, there were problems when it comes to amd64.  People tried to wrap 32bit around with nswrapper(sp?) to run on 64 but it's not working as well as native amd64 flash plugin. :)
[13:01] <heath|work> !GPG error
[13:02] <Polterge|st> heath|work, google "fix gpg errors"
[13:02] <snek> mobi-sheep: thx, it worked like a charm!
[13:02] <Polterge|st> you will have to import some keys I think
[13:02] <mobi-sheep> snek: Welcome. :)
[13:02] <Polterge|st> I fixed mine awhile back
[13:02] <Polterge|st> it requires a bit of terminal stuff though
[13:03] <nencio> a
[13:03] <abama2> how to get file installed path using "apt-get install xxx"?
[13:03] <GNUix> mobi-sheep: my point exactly, so why would ubuntu by default install the 32bit wrapped up for a 64bit machine? if your on a 64bit arch why not just use 64bit by default. The 32bit is just as non-free as the 64bit version
[13:03] <heath|work> Polterge|st, I'm on it
[13:03] <heath|work> I just remember there being a really easy way
[13:03] <hydra__> is there any way to install fglrx on 9.04?
[13:04] <abama2> any hint?
[13:04] <mobi-sheep> GNUix: There were no amd64 bit plugin by default in the past.  And what we have now is a pre-release of amd64 plugin. . It's not declared official nor stable yet
[13:04] <erUSUL> GNUix: 64 bit version is still beta afaik
[13:04] <erUSUL> !ati | hydra__
[13:04] <okds2432> hi there
[13:05] <erUSUL> abama2: you want the list of files a package contains?
[13:05] <stpr> can someone help me please?
[13:05] <GNUix> mobi-sheep: I didn't know it was a pre-release, I installed it on my gentoo boxes seems like it must have been a couple of months ago.. with 9.04 just released a couple of days ago I would have figured..nevermind.. its easy to fix.. no point debating politics
[13:05] <erUSUL> !ask | stpr
[13:05] <joaopinto> !anyone | stpr
[13:05] <abama2> erUSUL: yes, i want the list of files installed to filesystem
[13:05] <hydra__> erUSUL: that wiki page doesnt even cover 9.04
[13:05] <erUSUL> abama2: dpkg -L packagename
[13:05] <okds2432> anyone here know about installing a wireless device?
[13:05] <mobi-sheep> GNUix: As long as our problems get solved. :)
[13:06] <stratovarius> hi all
[13:06] <heath|work> okds2432, what device?
[13:06] <stratovarius> who may help me to configure tor and vidalia? I m not able to let them work
[13:06] <abama2> erUSUL: thanks a lot
[13:06] <erUSUL> hydra__: the procedure is the same go to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers
[13:06] <MyWay> hi all
[13:06] <okds2432> belkin usb wireless adapter
[13:06] <grawity> stratovarius: I could try
[13:06] <koshar1> okds2432 probobly
[13:06] <heath|work> okds2432, plug it in and sudo lspci -vv then pastebin the output
[13:06] <hydra__> erUSUL: the driver doesn't appear on the list
[13:07] <stpr> i'm looking for a desktop application so i can post to my blogs. Is there any ?
[13:07] <erUSUL> hydra__: what ati card do you have?
[13:07] <erUSUL> !info drivel | stpr
[13:07] <stratovarius> grawity, tnanx a lot...what should i do to let them work? i installed vidalia and tor...but im not sure bout their configuration....
[13:08] <abama2> erUSUL: what is the packagename like?
[13:08] <hydra__> erUSUL: radeon xpress 1100
[13:08] <MyWay> i'm installing ubuntu 9.04, and i'm doing the manual partition to ext4, i'd also like to have /home in a separate partition, but i'm not sure how it works, i mean: if i make 2 partitions: one mount point / and one mount point to /home will my applications automatically go to home? so if i reinstall i will not have to configure all again? thanks
[13:08] <stpr> ubottu: Thanks!!!
[13:08] <grawity> stratovarius: Usually, there are two parts. 1) Start Vidalia. 2) Configure the applications you want to "anonymize" (Firefox for example)
[13:08] <erUSUL> abama2: for example "drivel"
[13:08] <erUSUL> stpr: ubottu is a bot
[13:08] <stratovarius> grawity, vidalia onion is green, i have torbutton for firefox too but when i turn it on no page will open
[13:08] <okds2432> got like 15 pages of info
[13:09] <stratovarius> grawity, i'd like to anonymize firefox
[13:09] <grawity> stratovarius: Does it say "Timed out" or "Connection refused" or something else?
[13:09] <heath|work> okds2432, just find the Belkin section and paste it
[13:09] <heath|work> okds2432, to pastie.com
[13:09] <okds2432> i will have to look around for cd-rom that came with the usb adapter
[13:09] <zk> anyone tried to use avahi to set a mdns hostname with avahi-set-hostname? it says access denied even if i'm root - ubuntu jaunty here
[13:09] <prometheus765> hi, is there a way or tool to set font antialiasing for QT3/4 apps? I want to enable this without installing KDE. Anyone?
[13:10] <abama2> erUSUL: for example, apt-cache policy ppp, it outputs: "ppp: installed 2.4.4rel-9ubuntu2, ...", what should be the packagename?
[13:10] <heath|work> okds2432, no... I just need to know the chipset it uses
[13:10] <stratovarius> grawity, firefox now says e to add an exception
[13:10] <erUSUL> abama2: ppp

[13:12] <heath|work> OkropNick, looks like you need to sudo modprobe rt73
[13:13] <grawity> stratovarius: http://www.google.com/
[13:13] <heath|work> sorry OkropNick
[13:13] <grawity> stratovarius: That one really should _not_ ask for an exception :/
[13:13] <Caesi> hi all, could anyone help me with installing Office 2k7 under wine?
[13:13] <heath|work> Caesi, ?
[13:13] <mobi-sheep> Caesi: I don't think you want to install that under Wine.
[13:14] <OkropNick> heath|work: no problemo ;)
[13:14] <Caesi> mobi-sheep: why not?
[13:14] <stratovarius> grawity, if i try to open the link u gave me it says me to add an exception =(
[13:14] <mobi-sheep> !info virtualbox | Caesi
[13:14] <mobi-sheep> Caesi: You probably want to run VirtualBox instead.
[13:14] <heath|work> ^^ agrees
[13:14] <Caesi> mobi-sheep: ah okeydo, I'll try it with that.. thnx also heath|work
[13:14] <mobi-sheep> !info virtualbox-ose | Caesi
[13:15] <Polterge|st> can anyone tell me why I have to move my .purple folder to .purple_old to get pidgin to connect out ?
[13:15] <mobi-sheep> Caesi: This allow you to use XP on Ubuntu.  And when you get your XP / Vista set up, you can install Office 2k7 and any other Windows-based applications.
[13:15] <deany> virtualbox 2.2 from virtualbox site works with jaunty
[13:16] <Caesi> thanks mobi-sheep, deany
[13:16] <Polterge|st> I mean I know it creates a new .purple folder but the question is why won't it save my current settings the next time I launch pidgin
[13:16] <mobi-sheep> Polterge|st: Check your permissions?
[13:16] <stratovarius> grawity, may we control torbutton and vidalia parameters or something else?
[13:16] <Polterge|st> mobi-sheep, I thought about that also
[13:17] <Polterge|st> I don't know what permissions I should set on all that stuff though in order to not mess anything up
[13:17] <mobi-sheep> Polterge|st: My .purple contains a --> drwx------
[13:17] <Polterge|st> I'll check mine
[13:17] <grawity> stratovarius: Hmm, check your proxy settings -- they should look like this http://sine.cluenet.org/~grawity/dump/firefox-socks-config.png -- except for the SOCKS port!
[13:17] <Ojii> is there an easy way to get the nvidia drivers running on jaunty?
[13:17] <Ojii> any attempt i did failed
[13:18] <grawity> Polterge|st: Have you tried running Pidgin in debug mode? Open terminal, run pidgin --debug
[13:18] <MyWay> how many gBs are needed by the / partition?
[13:18] <stratovarius> grawity, now if i try to open last link u gave me firefox says me connection refused by proxy server
[13:18] <Polterge|st> mobi-sheep, mine is also drwx------
[13:18] <mobi-sheep> Polterge|st: You can ask Pidgin/Purple team.  They do have IRC channel.  Just a thought.
[13:18] <Polterge|st> mobi-sheep, last time I went in there they were grumpy
[13:18] <Polterge|st> I am reluctant to talk to them
[13:19] <mobi-sheep> Polterge|st: They always are grumpy.  I have been there before. :\
[13:19] <grawity> stratovarius: Ah, hmm. Then: Manual configuration, HTTP/SSL/FTP/Gopher proxy EMPTY.
[13:19] <yacc> What's the correct way to setup hibernation with swap being in an encrypted LVM volume?
[13:19] <stratovarius> grawity, what? i dont understand
[13:19] <mobi-sheep> yacc: If you're concerned, you might as well encrypt your entire hard drive like I did.  :)
[13:19] <Polterge|st> the first thing I will try is to just wait until I reboot and see if it saves my current config
[13:19] <Polterge|st> if it does not then I will try the debug parameter
[13:19] <jtholmes> myway what are you trying to do
[13:19] <Caesi> mobi-sheep: so I'll have to install WinXP on that virtual box; it's not possible to run Office without an OS?
[13:20] <hydra__> Anyone successfuly installed and used fglrx in 9.04?
[13:20] <naught101> is freepascal provided by the package "gpc" in the repos?
[13:20] <yacc> mobi-sheep, it's encrypted, but now I wonder how to make hibernation (ideally without relying on the BIOS/ACPI) work.
[13:20] <deany> are there any xorg.conf options using the open radeon driver to make Wine more stable?
[13:20] <MyWay> jtholmes: i'm trying to have separate partitions: / and /home and swap
[13:20] <mobi-sheep> Caesi: That's right.  And this will ensure that you'll not face any problems when it comes to native OS versus Wine.
[13:20] <MyWay> i'm installing ubuntu right now
[13:20] <Caesi> mobi-sheep: perfect, thanks a lot for your help
[13:20] <stratovarius> grawity, manual configuration in torbutton, proxy configuration in firefox or in vidalia?
[13:20] <mobi-sheep> Caesi: I have few applications in Windows that I use occasionally. :)
[13:21] <deany> i know there is "UseFastTLS"   "0"   for the fglrx driver.
[13:21] <Caesi> mobi-sheep: ok :) how's the speed - ok?
[13:21] <yacc> mobi-sheep, so how can I make it resume from a volume inside an encryped LVM container?
[13:21] <khensthoth> MyWay, base installation of ubuntu on / is about 2.2GB, although you probably want around 5 GB to accommodate all the programs that you are going to instasll
[13:21] <mobi-sheep> Caesi: Seems to be good for me.  You'll have choices to size your HDD and video memory (graphic card).
[13:21] <MyWay> ok khensthoth, thanks, and how much for the swap? i have 4gb ram
[13:21] <jtholmes> MyWay, min on / is about 2.5 g  but would use at least 10g for growth,  /home whatever you want  and  swap 2g but that is subjective and few people agree on size of swap but i usually use 2g
[13:21] <mobi-sheep> yacc: No idea.  I don't hibernate at all.  I wouldn't know.
[13:22] <MyWay> ok
[13:22] <yacc> mobi-sheep, useful if one has to move around.
[13:22] <rahim123> hi there, my bash autocompletion isnt working on jaunty, anyone can tell me where to start looking to fix it?
[13:22] <khensthoth> My Way, If you have more that much RAM it probably doesn't help much to have a lot of SWAP space. Other will disagree though
[13:22] <yacc> mobi-sheep, not even that much the battery, but carrying a running laptop inside a knapsack is thermally instable ;(
[13:22] <mobi-sheep> yacc: Did you try?  It should shut down... and well, prompt you for password upon power-on?
[13:23] <Caesi> mobi-sheep: yeah I saw that.. I'll just have to fiddle around I guess.. thnx!
[13:23] <mobi-sheep> Caesi: Good luck! :)
[13:23] <yacc> mobi-sheep, yes, it prompts but never resumes, it just boots plainly after the hibernation.
[13:23] <MyWay> should swap be logical and /home primary partition?
[13:23] <mobi-sheep> yacc: You could always opt for shutdown.
[13:23] <jtholmes> myway doesnt matter
[13:23] <Caesi> okeydo bye!!
[13:23] <xcdfgkjhgcv> My Wi-Fi stops working after a while.
[13:24] <skeeter_101> I am currently running 8.10 Intrepid, and I started the upgrade to 9.04 and was notified during the upgrade that there was an issue with "fglrx".  Can someone shed some light on this topic?  I have a Mobility Radeon X1400 video card and fglrx is running fine now........and am concerned about the upgrade and fglrx.
[13:24] <Ojii> can anyone help me with jaunty nvidia drivers?
[13:24] <zamba> i have a problem getting the correct display resolution in X
[13:24] <MyWay> ok jtholmes
[13:24] <khensthoth> My Way, Yea. My partitions are all logical ones
[13:24] <zamba> my graphic card is a 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev a2)
[13:24] <MyWay> ah which is the difference between primary and logical then?
[13:24] <amarillion> How can I make rhythmbox play music to my usb headset, not the speakers?
[13:24] <jtholmes> myway you only get 4 primary and one has to be extended if you dont use all in the other primaries
[13:24] <yacc> mobi-sheep, yeah, that's what I'm doing now, but that means probably around 5 minutes for booting and starting up everything needed. :(
[13:25] <amarillion> I know how to get skype to use the headset, but not other programs
[13:25] <mobi-sheep> yacc: It beat wasting infinite hours of figuring out the workaround. ;)
[13:25] <jtholmes> myway usually most of the disk space is in the extended partition
[13:26] <skeeter_101> I am currently running 8.10 Intrepid, and I started the upgrade to 9.04 and was notified during the upgrade that there was an issue with "fglrx".  Can someone shed some light on this topic?  I have a Mobility Radeon X1400 video card and fglrx is running fine now........and am concerned about the upgrade and fglrx.
[13:26] <yacc> mobi-sheep, not exactly, considering that my laptop will probably be used for work for the next 2-3 years as is, ...
[13:26] <jtholmes> myway then you carve it up
[13:26] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[13:26] <silv3r_m00n> is there any java based gif animation creator for linux ?
[13:26] <yacc> mobi-sheep, figuring out the itches makes somewhat sense, I'd say ;)
[13:26] <stratovarius> grawity, same error =(..i ve configured like the like u gave me
[13:26] <Pici> skeeter_101: The version of xorg that 9.04 uses is not supported by fglrx, but the open source 'ati' drivers work fine on my x1400 on my Thinkpad
[13:26] <mobi-sheep> !fglrx | skeeter_101
[13:26] <MyWay> ok thanks you all
[13:27] <MyWay> now that i have my /home partition all config files will automatically go to /home?
[13:27] <Ojii> mobi-sheep: that page doesn't work for jaunty, at least not for me...
[13:27] <skeeter_101> Pici:  is your thinkpad running 9.04?
[13:27] <MyWay> and i will not need to backup my /home anymore?
[13:27] <Pici> skeeter_101: Indeed
[13:27] <mobi-sheep> Ojii: Sorry. I only try to shed some lights on that topic.
[13:27] <Ojii> np mobi-sheep
[13:27] <skeeter_101> Pici:  are you saying that I would just have to go through the config of it after the upgrade?
[13:28] <Ojii> but anyone really know how to fix the nvidia drivers?
[13:28] <jtholmes> MyWay, yes (probably) to config files to home, no to backup you always have to backup what you want to preserve no matter what partiton it is on
[13:28] <MyWay> ok thanks jtholmes
[13:29] <jtholmes> myway the only thing /home gives u is the ability to keep you configs between upgrades if you dont touch /home
[13:29] <hbekel> Ojii: you did unload the old module before restarting X i assume?
[13:29] <Pici> skeeter_101: You may need to remove xorg-driver-fglrx after the upgrade
[13:29] <MyWay> yes i wanted to say this jtholmes :)
[13:29] <Ojii> i did what hbekel? I just used the jockey-gtk thingy
[13:29] <MyWay> so i don't have each time to save my home
[13:29] <MyWay> when i reinstall
[13:29] <MyWay> or upgrade
[13:30] <jtholmes> MyWay, as long as you dont format /home during either process your configs are safe
[13:30] <MyWay> good
[13:30] <MyWay> thanks again
[13:30] <vadim> i wonder whwere ubuntu is going to. if you remember I couldn't access my microSD card in jaunty. Now i found out it isn't working on 8.10 and 8.04 versions too. BUT! It works on 7.10!!! Why have ubuntu team done that? They drop important features!
[13:30] <yacc> Any idea if there is a way to disable automatic hardware detection in Xorg for 8.10 or 9.04?
[13:30] <skeeter_101> Pici:  without 3d acceleration......would compiz still work ok?  And if I have to remove xorg-driver-fglrx, wont that disable 3d acceleration?
[13:30] <yacc> The way Ibex detects my touchscreen is driving my nuts, ...
