[19:20] <benjamintheyon> Do I need to do anything in particular to make my USB mouse work with my Ubuntu laptop? I know the mouse works. Nothing happening in Ubuntu.
[19:21] <Dr_Willis> yautja_cetanu2:  sudo service gdm restart
[19:21] <slgma> but maybe youre right, only americans care about freedom
[19:21] <wac_> does anyone know the terminal command to delet all files and folders inside of a directory but not the directory itself?
[19:21] <slgma> but i dont care about that right now
[19:21] <slgma> just want my resoultion to work
[19:21] <Gnea> not everyone understands things the same way, it's better to prevent bad things from happening
[19:21] <yautja_cetanu2> sigma: seriously... read more about freedom
[19:21] <slgma> i stopped tlaking about that like 8 minutes ago
[19:21] <slgma> just stfu im trying to ask for help
[19:21] <jimboz> anyone know how to increase the color *saturation* via software?
[19:22] <Pici> Can we please stay on topic here folks?
[19:22] <Gnea> ...
[19:22] <slgma> im trying to civil here and abide by the rules and you guys keep going off topic
[19:22] <wac_> slgma: your not going to get help by being rude
[19:22] <DrPoO> i created a user group and added users to it. I want to give members of that group permissions to write on a directory...
[19:22] <Dr_Willis> jimboz:   what video chipset?
[19:22] <bcurtiswx_> does anyone in here use getting things gnome?
[19:22] <DrPoO> can anybody give me some pointers?
[19:22] <Gnea> if you're going to take that attitude, I can just walk away
[19:22] <Pici> wac_: Drop it.
[19:22] <slgma> im not being rude,  i was asking for help and i stopped cussing as soon as i was asked to
[19:22] <Pici> Gnea: You too.
[19:22] <cellardoor> mcsmurf: it is more likely to be harddrive write delays, used to cause my old desktop to hang for a bit, when it hangs, check the light on the front to see if the HDD is being used
[19:22] <OttifantSir> I can't update or install anything on my laptop with 10.04. It says it can't lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable), and it's been like that for quite some time. How do I fix this?
[19:22] <slgma> but it was brought back up
[19:22] <slgma> out of nowhere
[19:22] <jimboz> Dr_Willis, Intel HD Graphics for i3 330 mobile
[19:22] <Dr_Willis> jimboz:  well for nvidia - i know the nvidia-settings tool can tweak the colors.. but no idea on Intel.
[19:23] <manfredrasta> Does anybody knows how can I set available the resolution 1024x800 in the monitor settings? It only makes me select 800x600. I use LUBUNTU.
[19:23] <jimboz> damn
[19:23] <mcsmurf> ah well, I'll see tomorrow what memtest86+ will say, the ECC messages also started to appear recently, maybe the RAM module is in worse condition than the log tells me
[19:23] <Dr_Willis> !fixapt
[19:23] <Dr_Willis> OttifantSir:  see above
[19:23] <Gnea> slgma: maybe another time we can continue that conversation in private, but for now, yeah, check xorg.0.log
[19:23] <benjamintheyon> I can see my USB mouse when I use "lsusb" in a terminal, but it doesn't move the cursor on screen. Any ideas?
[19:23] <Dr_Willis> manfredrasta:  you did install the proper drivers for whatver video chipset you have?
[19:23] <volodya> Suppose I have home directory encryption, where ~/.Private is mounted over ~/. I want to switch so that ~/.Private is mounted to ~/Private. Which config file should I edit?
[19:23] <ziyakan> how to install most used compressed (archive) formats to my ubuntu 10.04 to work with the default archive manager (file-roller) ?
[19:23] <manfredrasta> Dr_Willis: no i did not installed any driver
[19:24] <Daniel> wac_: I found a webpage. There are commands in bash. That might be useful for you.
[19:24] <OttifantSir> Dr_Willis: Thanks for that. I'll see what can be done. Should I close Synaptic first?
[19:24] <manfredrasta> Dr_Willis: i am nooooob
[19:24] <slgma> i dont have that file gnea
[19:24] <Dr_Willis> ziyakan:  figure  out what ones you want and isntall the binaries for them, rar, 7zip, zip, whatever.
[19:24] <Gnea> slgma: sorry, /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[19:24] <fedora_newb> Anyone know how to access mysql command line from a xampp install under ubuntu? I just can't seem to find the answer...
[19:24] <slgma> that one either
[19:24] <Dr_Willis> manfredrasta:  On ubuntu you would run ' gksudo jockey-gtk' or use the menu items for 'hardware drivers'
[19:24] <Gnea> really?
[19:24] <Gnea> then your system is hosed pretty badly
[19:24] <Dr_Willis> !archive
[19:24] <mkanyicy> DrPoO, did you manage?
[19:24] <manfredrasta> Dr_Willis, and on Lubuntu? the same?
[19:24] <tvon> I don't suppose there is a relatively easy way to remap things like cop/paste across most desktop apps?
[19:25] <slgma> i have xorg.conf.back
[19:25] <Dr_Willis> manfredrasta:  no idea. I dont use lubuntu
[19:25] <tvon> keyboad shortcuts configlet doesn't seem to have that
[19:25] <Gnea> can't see how there wouldn't be any /var/log/Xorg.*.log files...
[19:25] <Gnea> unless X wasn't running anymore
[19:25] <manfredrasta> Dr_Willis, Ill see. One minute
[19:25] <Gnea> but clearly that isn't the case.
[19:25] <wac_> can you paste the web page please daniel!!
[19:25] <wac_> it would be much appreciated
[19:25] <yautja_cetanu2> Dr_Willis: unfortunately it still won't work :(
[19:25] <Daniel> wac_: http://ss64.com/bash/
[19:25] <bcurtiswx_> anyone here use GTG (Getting Things GNOME) ?
[19:26] <mkanyicy> bcurtiswx_, no
[19:26] <aeon-ltd> !anyone | bcurtiswx_
[19:26] <wac_> thanks
[19:26] <Dr_Willis> yautja_cetanu2:  could be it just has some uissues seeing your 2 monitors...
[19:26] <Daniel> wac_: You're welcome
[19:26] <Dr_Willis> yautja_cetanu2:  so its not letting you enable twinview..
[19:26] <yautja_cetanu2> Dr_Willis: Yup
[19:26] <legeoX>  #tributegentoo
[19:26] <bcurtiswx_> Does Getting Things Gnome sync between multiple computers? (that anyone knows of)
[19:26] <bcurtiswx_> aeon-ltd, thx
[19:26] <bcurtiswx_> ^^
[19:27] <yautja_cetanu2> Dr_Willis: In configuration I can only select "Seperate X Screen"
[19:27] <benjamintheyon> My USB mouse lights up and clicking works, but it doesn't move the cursor. Mouse works otherwise. Ideas?
[19:27] <serp_> try moving the mouse
[19:27] <Dr_Willis> yautja_cetanu2:  which basically tells us - its not seeing that you have 2 monitors hooked up
[19:27] <Sensiva> Hello all, after long working hours I get this error whenever I try to launch a GUI program "Maximum number of clients reached Error: cannot open display: :0.0"
[19:28] <yautja_cetanu2> Dr_Willis: yup
[19:28] <manfredrasta> Dr_Willis: if I do: preferences/hardware drivers it says: "No private driver is been used in this system" or something like that (It is in italian)
[19:28] <dajhorn> tvon: Try the 'hotkeys' or 'xkbcomp' programs.
[19:28] <Sensiva> I found few reports about this in launchpad and forums but with no working around, any ideas how to kill the unneeded X clients?
[19:28] <yautja_cetanu2> Dr_Willis: I'm going to try restarting ubuntu with the second monitor unplugged
[19:28] <OttifantSir> Tried the command ubottu writes after !fixapt is issued, but still can't lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open. It's (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) still
[19:28] <yautja_cetanu2> brb
[19:30] <edakiri> Sensiva: xlsclients to see them
[19:30] <Sensiva> edakiri and how to kill them?
[19:30] <benjamintheyon> Man. The last three problems I've had I have come here and asked several times and gotten no help, so strange.
[19:30] <edakiri> Sensiva: killall badprogramname
[19:31] <DrPoO> i need help with user and group permisions, I have a directory owned by root, but i want to give members of the group "mygroup" permission to write on that directory. How can i do this?
[19:31] <Sensiva> edakiri most of them are 'unknown'
[19:31] <dajhorn> DrPoO: chgrp MyGroup MyDirectory;  chmod g+rwX MyDirectory
[19:31] <manfredrasta> Can anybody help me please? Why I cant select 1024x800 in the resolution of my screen? It only gives me 800x600
[19:32] <Sensiva> !factoids
[19:32] <jawadsafi> i need someone in private
[19:32] <Trian3> Ok, now in xchat
[19:32] <LinuxReign> DrPoO, sudo chown -R [nameofthegroup] /path/to/directory, try that and see if works
[19:32] <Trian3> Similar to mIRC.
[19:33] <Trian3> I like it.
[19:33] <Sensiva> !resolution | manfredrasta
[19:33] <Trian3> What's better...  it's free!
[19:33] <DrPoO> dajhorn, thank you!
[19:33] <OttifantSir> Any good reason why Update Manager and Synaptic can't upgrade my packages?   I'm having the same problem.  Are you using onboard sound?
[19:34] <dajhorn> manfredrasta: What kind of computer do you have?  1024x800 is a non-standard resolution that is sometimes seen in netbooks.
[19:34] <Sensiva> manfredrasta to fix resolution issues read that wiki article https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[19:34] <tvon> dajhorn: thanks
[19:35] <coz_> mantizz,  mm  assuming the front panel jack is already connected...open a terminal  ...type     alsamixer  ...check if any slider is muted or turned down...if muted unmute it with the keyboard  "m"
[19:35] <mantizz> Trian3: yes onboard sound card Realtek...
[19:35] <mantizz> coz: ok
[19:35] <manfredrasta> dajhorn: well I do not know exactly the numbers XD, I just want my screen to be bigger. I have a Toshiba laptop
[19:36] <manfredrasta> Sensiva: ill see
[19:36] <coz_> mantizz,   turn up the sliders with the arrows keys by the way :)
[19:36] <mattgyver> !debugfs
[19:36] <mantizz> coz: but i cant move Headphone option
[19:37] <coz_> mantizz,  is there a "MM"  below the slider?
[19:37] <coz_> mantizz,  take a screenshot of that   alt+printscreen and upload to picpaste ...let me see it
[19:38] <uLinux> what's the folder with Ubuntu wallpapers?
[19:38] <coz_> uLinux,   /usr/share/backgrounds
[19:38] <uLinux> ty coz_
[19:38] <ehcah> Is there a difference between installing ubuntu with a server isntall CD, no components selected for install or using using the desktop cd?
[19:39] <ehcah> I like the server OS cd's option to install the bare minimum.
[19:39] <Trian3> uLinux:  Planning on setting up some Compiz eye candy?
[19:39] <blakkheim> !mini > ehcah
[19:39] <dajhorn> ehcah: The default packages are different.  You can always get the full installation later by installing the ubuntu-desktop package.
[19:39] <coz_> ehcah,  yes the minimal install cd is what you might want to download and burn
[19:39] <slgma> sigh this is frustrating
[19:40] <mattgyver> slgma, what are you trying to do?
[19:40] <emstrand> grub not finding other OS ...os-prober can't find it 2nd drive is sda and 64 bit Fedora
[19:40] <slgma> my son was playing with my mouse and messwed up my display dirvers somehow
[19:40] <mantizz> coz: http://picpaste.com/Screenshot-mantiz-c3eP009E.png
[19:40] <slgma> now my resolution wont go past 1152x864
[19:40] <slgma> when it should be 1600x1200
[19:40] <mantizz> Trian3: http://picpaste.com/Screenshot-mantiz-c3eP009E.png
[19:40] <mattgyver> slgma, eww yuck.  Can you add the mode to xorg.conf perhaps and force it?
[19:40] <coz_> emstrand,  you might want to ask t his same question in the #grub channel
[19:40] <ehcah> Thanks Guys/Gals.
[19:40] <slgma> i havent tried that mattgyver
[19:40] <slgma> how do i do it?
[19:41] <Gnea> mattgyver: I had suggested he check his Xorg.0.log file, but apparently those aren't being kept
[19:41] <coz_> mantizz,  mmm I see
[19:41] <emstrand> sigma, check your frequency ranges horiz and vert
[19:41] <ehcah> That is what I assumed. I'm trying to get an HTPC up and running with xbmc live, but even after getting the ATI HD5570 card working, I'm still having trouble.
[19:41] <coz_> mantizz,  "Front"  is muted  you may want to unmute that slider
[19:41] <mattgyver> slgma, do you know if you currently even have a xorg.conf, i know its not really required anymore
[19:41] <fabiusks> asdfasdfasdfa
[19:41] <slgma> yea ih aveone
[19:42] <slgma> should i delete it? and im at 60hz refresh rate
[19:42] <ehcah> Going to try a 10.4 install and configure xbmc after.
[19:42] <emstrand> coz, thanks ...will do
[19:42] <mattgyver> no, i wouldnt delete it, chances are your son did something with a gui somewhere.  Unless he really knows his way around linux
[19:42] <slgma> hes 2, so i dont think so
[19:42] <coz_> ")
[19:42] <mattgyver> slgma, start him young :)  can you pastebin your xorg.conf?
[19:43] <mantizz> coz: how
[19:43] <slgma> sure
[19:43] <coz_> slgma,  my cat walks on the keyboard and makes changes so I think a 2 year old could manage it by accident :)
[19:43] <slgma> i did the phigh reconfigure
[19:43] <slgma> and the nvidia-xconfig
[19:43] <slgma> both dont seem to make it any better
[19:43] <mattgyver> I guess i should consider myself lucky that my cats just like to sit in front of my screen!
[19:43] <boolean> morning: does ubuntu have any tools that would allow me to port an install from one machine to another without having to change the config? ( and no I don't just want to swap hard disks )
[19:44] <slgma> mattgyver, http://pastebin.com/5jUKjhV8
[19:44] <wiki> Hola a tod@s
[19:44] <coz_> mantizz,  if that doesnt effect any changes you may want to go to #pulseaudio and  the #alsa channel... I think they have better access to troubleshooting than I do :)
[19:45] <avi_> Hey, is there any way to get python auto-complete in gedit? Thanks!
[19:45] <Aemaeth> i installed a gui to my server because i wasn't comfortable making some changes in cli, how to i change it so it just boots into a prompt and logs into the default user?
[19:45] <coz_> mantizz,  I would also Unmute all the channels to test anyway
[19:46] <kkkkk> i wish to surf websites which have been blocked by my college firewall. Hope anon-proxy works
[19:46] <mantizz> coz: wait let me check
[19:46] <tigertv69_> hey guys im trying to install openvpn on busybox? anyone know how to do that?
[19:46] <slgma> mattgyver, http://pastebin.com/5jUKjhV8
[19:46] <slgma> incase you didnt get it
[19:46] <mattgyver> slgma, yeah i did
[19:47] <Aemaeth> kkkkk, there are several proxies, if one doesn't work move on to the next
[19:47] <Aemaeth> kkkkk, run tor, it's like a dynamic proxy...sort of
[19:48] <dajhorn> tigertv69_: This is the wrong place to ask that question.  Try the busybox mailing list.
[19:49] <yautja_cetanu2> Dr_Willis: I've discovered some new stuff. When I restarted my computer with the external monitor unplugged. My laptop monitor showed things but it was totally broken. I could see the screen but it was split in two (The left side of the screen was showing on the right) and the top had loads of crazy colours. However, my laptop was fine when I diactivated nvidia drivers. I'm now just running updates on ubuntu
[19:49] <wmp> hi, i have problem with manual make package with my kernel. I can't remove this, i have error: E: I wasn't able to locate file for the linux-image-<IP_ADDRESS>grsec1.0-grsec-20081227-3 package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.
[19:49] <wmp> i installed this package from dpkg -i filename.deb
[19:49] <mantizz> coz: i am getting sound from my speakers but not from Headset with mic
[19:49] <uLinux> how do I remove root permissions from a file
[19:50] <Gnea> uLinux: chown it
[19:50] <uLinux> I copied an image with root permmissions
[19:50] <Gnea> uLinux: as root, of course
[19:50] <uLinux> Gnea: chown?
[19:50] <area51pilot> my indicator by the system clock that shows email and im notifications disappeared...does anyone knowthe associated package (using Evolution mail)
[19:50] <Gnea> uLinux: yes, open a terminal and type something like this:  sudo chown user.user file
[19:51] <Gnea> uLinux: man chown  <-- this will give you a better idea of what it's doing
[19:51] <edakiri> Sensiva: i don't know.  If you find out, please tell us. (or me)
[19:51] <kv102t> need help with permissions..
[19:51] <uLinux> ok tks
[19:51] <Gnea> kv102t: that's not asking much..
[19:52] <fbianconi> !ask
[19:52] <mantizz> coz: any idea
[19:52] <ewoerner> hi
[19:52] <kv102t> external HHD from an apple, is mounting and can see some files, just old user DIR is locked..
[19:52] <ewoerner> how to install debugging symbols for network-manager?
[19:52] <kv102t> Gneu: I was getting there. lol
[19:52] <Gnea> kv102t: you'll need root permissions in order to see what's there
[19:52] <crazygir> hiya! what is a sensible way to go about finding a well-supported usb modem? I ask because it isn't like network cards or video cards with lots of information available
[19:53] <kv102t> OK, so...
[19:53] <kv102t> i am root
[19:53] <Gnea> how are you root?
[19:53] <kv102t> but not of that HDD
[19:53] <crazygir> and I don't have one yet, but need to buy rather quickly (and ensure it works) due to time constraints
[19:53] <kv102t> of linux
[19:53] <Gnea> no, root of your system will read it all
[19:53] <Gnea> if you are truly root, that is
[19:53] <fbianconi> ewoerner: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingNetworkManager
[19:53] <slgma> mattgyver it didn towkr
[19:53] <slgma> :(
[19:54] <kv102t> i sec, i'll try
[19:54] <mattgyver> slgma, yeah I wasnt sure if it would or not
[19:54] <slgma> it didnt crash anything just didnt work
[19:54] <slgma> :/
[19:54] <slgma> im gettin frsutrated so ill try again later
[19:54] <mischief> is there a bot present in this channel for info?
[19:54] <slgma> thanks for your help
[19:54] <abdulmajeed> hhi
[19:54] <i_is_broke> !ubbotto
[19:54] <Gnea> slgma: if you could find something in /var/log that points to it, that would be helpful at some point
[19:54] <Aemaeth> how do i get my system to just boot into a shell so i can ssh into it remotely?
[19:55] <mattgyver> slgma, and in the display settings you do not still cannot select a higher resolution?
[19:55] <kv102t> as root. i cliked the drive and now see nothing
[19:55] <Gnea> kv102t: just curious - how did you become root?
[19:55] <Kyle__> Amadeus__: In normal linucies/unicies, youd set /etc/inittab to a text-only runlevel, usually 3.  Ubuntu doesn't work that way though.
[19:56] <crazygir> no one uses modems anymore, see.. that is the problem :P
[19:56] <Kyle__> s/Amadeus__/Aemaeth/
[19:56] <Kyle__> Aemaeth: In normal linucies/unicies, youd set /etc/inittab to a text-only runlevel, usually 3.  Ubuntu doesn't work that way though.
[19:56] <kv102t> sudo 0i
[19:56] <Rotham> Whats the easiest way to get apache/mysql/php running on ubuntu 10?
[19:56] <kv102t> sudo -i
[19:56] <Kyle__> crazygir: If you work for a manufacturing company, you probably will
[19:56] <Aemaeth> Kyle__, so what does ubuntu server version do?
[19:57] <i_is_broke> !lamp > Rotham
[19:57] <Kyle__> Aemaeth: Use a differeint set of init scripts than the desktop.
[19:57] <guntbert> !bot > mischief
[19:57] <Sensiva> Rotham the easiest way I have ever seen was using TurnkeyLinux under Virtual Box
[19:57] <Kyle__> Aemaeth: Just sitting at the login screen doesn't waste _too_ many resources.  You can just boot it like that, and as long as you have the opnessh-server package installed, you can ssh in.
[19:57] <Rotham> great thanks
[19:58] <Aemaeth> Kyle__, thanks, i'll probably do that then
[19:58] <Kyle__> Aemaeth: I admit that was one of the reasons I didn't like ubuntu at first.
[19:58] <Kyle__> :)
[19:58] <Aemaeth> and how is the easy way of installing apache/mysql/php not synaptic?
[19:58] <kv102t> Gnea: i did sudo -i
[19:58] <lati> .inc
[19:58] <ziyakan> is there a gui for 7-zip for ubuntu ?
[19:58] <roxxo> what boot params would be used to netboot with a preseed file from the normal installation CD?
[19:59] <ppq> ziyakan, install the package p7zip, it will integrate in ark, file-roller and xarchiver
[19:59] <aeon-ltd> ziyakan: should be, but imo cli is easier :)
[19:59] <Aemaeth> but if you need gui file-roller should be fine
[19:59] <area51pilot> crazygir: What kind of modem? ... dial up, ADSL, cable?
[20:00] <ziyakan>  ppq: what you mean  "it will integrate" ?
[20:00] <kv102t> anyone tell me how to mount a usb HDD
[20:00] <ppq> ziyakan, you can simply open .7 archives with file-roller/etc then
[20:00] <ppq> *.7z
[20:01] <ziyakan>  aeon-ltd:  what is imo cli ? and file roller is enough for me but the main problem is file-roller has not the feature to select compression level ...
[20:01] <crazygir> area51pilot: dial up
[20:01] <dschuett> does anyone know how to get ubuntu to recognize a scsi tape drive?
[20:01] <crazygir> dschuett: use a supported device?
[20:01] <Aemaeth> ziyakan, IMO = in my opinion  and CLI = command line
[20:01] <ppq> ziyakan, but for all the tricky features of 7zip like setting a password etc you have to use the "7z" cli program which is included in p7zip package
[20:02] <ashok_shetty> hi any one give  me the command  to open a file throgh terminal
[20:02] <dancek> Rotham, LAMP should be installable with just `sudo tasksel` which is imho easier than the other suggestions, see http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/570-install-lamp-with-1-command-in-ubuntu-910
[20:02] <dschuett> crazygir: i have an adaptec card and a hp tape drive
[20:02] <mischief> can someone tell me how to get fglrx working in 10.10 beta? i installed the fglrx package and its listed in 'alternate drivers'. fglrxinfo/glxinfo segfaults when i try to run it. any help?
[20:02] <crazygir> dschuett: have you checked the chipset and verified against the supported lists?
[20:02] <ppq> ziyakan, cli means command line interface. terminal, console, shell, whatever.
[20:02] <xangua> !maverick | mischief
[20:02] <Aemaeth> ashok_shetty, people will be more apt to answer if you say which type of file, some different than others :P

[20:03] <Aemaeth> thanks plovs i'll read that
[20:03] <dschuett> i am getting a VERY strange message in dmesg: scsi2: someone reset channel A
[20:03] <ashok_shetty> Aemaeth: mp3

[20:04] <ziyakan> ppq: file roller is enough for me but the main problem is file-roller has not the feature to select compression level ...
[20:04] <ziyakan> Aemaeth:  command line is difficult for me.. :(
[20:04] <Aemaeth> ashok_shetty, sorry, i know not of cli mp3 players
[20:04] <varunthacker> i am connected to the Internet via a home network. If i want to ssh myself from a remote location how to specify my host name?
[20:04] <ppq> ziyakan, use '7z' command for this. see man page for 7z
[20:04] <crazygir> dschuett: I'm not surprised, considering adaptec is involved
[20:05] <crazygir> dschuett: my advice, figure out if your card is supported, then, if it is, debug
[20:05] <crazygir> if not, get a supported card & drive :)
[20:05] <ziyakan> ppq: even i did everything before last format to ubuntu file-roller can not has this feature (to select compress level )
[20:05] <crazygir> area51pilot: thoughts?
[20:05] <Aemaeth> ziyakan, i was just trying to clarify what that other person said, i thought you didn't understand
[20:05] <ziyakan>  Aemaeth: ok sorry. i just confiused..
[20:05] <ziyakan>  Aemaeth: thank you...
[20:06] <koltroll> Heya guys. I have been having this issue for a couple of days no. I have no network, whatsoever. Don't know what happend. I can manually bring lo up and venet0. But venet0:0 that's supposed to have the external ip can't be brought up.
[20:06] <fbianconi> varunthacker: you should find out your IP, or register a hostname in NIC, and publish your IP in some DNS server.
[20:06] <Aemaeth> ziyakan, well, if you type "man 7z" you will see the command for compression
[20:06] <mattgyver> varunthacker, have you setup the port forwards in your router to point to the machine you wish to attach to yet?
[20:06] <koltroll> Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[20:06] <ashok_shetty> Aemaeth: k
[20:06] <roxxo> is it even possible to use a network preseed file from the normal jaunty live cd/
[20:07] <emery> grub not recognizing OS on second drive... sda and Fedora x86_64 ran os-prober ...sdb is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS... os-prober says nothing... do I need to mount sda first?
[20:08] <koltroll> I've tried googling but I don't know what to google on to get anything relevant. :/
[20:08] <ziyakan> Aemaeth: yes thank you i know. but i dont need for one format. i need many formats. so i can not learn a command for all of them. i need a gui. but the file -roller can not has this feature (to select compress level). i tried the peazip but it has many many bugs (because it is new yet)... anyway. i will find something new for that ... :(
[20:08] <area51pilot> crazygir: Ive used a Zoom Model 3095 V.92 USB Mini External Modem on 10.04
[20:08] <varunthacker> fbianconi, the ip you are talking about is the home network ip(192.168.1.x) or the one through which i am connected to the internet
[20:08] <Aemaeth> ziyakan, yea, more specific your needs the less others can help...if there's a windows program, i hate saying this, but run it in wine?
[20:08] <ehcah> my machine is not booting up with a display as it's not recognizing my video card.
[20:09] <ehcah> Is there something I can do to have it boot back to a prompt, instead of GUI?
[20:09] <aeon-ltd> ehcah: new card?
[20:09] <ehcah> yes
[20:09] <ehcah> ati hd5570
[20:09] <varunthacker> mattgyver, i can but every time the network resets a different 192.168.1.x ip is given. Can it still be done
[20:09] <ehcah> I've had a really hard time getting to workin in my previous install.
[20:09] <fbianconi> varunthacker: your public IP, and you have to make the packages get from your router (redirect ports)
[20:09] <area51pilot> crazygir: USRobotics also has a USB dialup that works well
[20:09] <aeon-ltd> ehcah: yeah, go back to whatever gpu you were using, install drivers, add card change dvi lead to the ati card and see if it works
[20:09] <mattgyver> varunthacker, yes, you need to assign the machine a static IP in the OS
[20:10] <fbianconi> varunthacker: the one through which you are connected to the internet
[20:10] <vamsi> Hi, please suggest a software for drawing flow charts, and block diagrams
[20:10] <buuck> I have a ubuntu homeserver. I want to have a irc client (bot) idling on certain irc channels, where I can login via ssh to see what's have been written. anybody has a suggestion how I do this
[20:10] <varunthacker> fbianconi, but my isp provides dynamic ip's
[20:10] <emery> ehcah: you might check BIOS settings on boot up
[20:10] <ehcah> crap. I was afraid that was what I'd have to do... I did the install ok with the new card. But that was all before the GUI.
[20:10] <mattgyver> In your router you will forward the packets from port 22 (tcp) to 22 on the 192.168.1.x number you assign, then ssh user@<your external ip>
[20:10] <ziyakan> Aemaeth: i dont want wine programs . but even that i research for it. and i look for 7-zip which is open source and good. but it is not working so good. it is working but it has many many bugs with wine (i dont intall the other programs closed source).
[20:11] <aeon-ltd> buuck: why?, also some irc clients have a log feature
[20:11] <ehcah> emery: the card is enabled.
[20:11] <ashok_shetty> thier is a mp-3 file in one of the home folder now i want to open it thru terminal give me the command to open
[20:11] <ehcah> I had the same trouble with xbmc live.
[20:11] <vamsi> Hi, please suggest a software for drawing flow charts, and block diagrams..
[20:11] <Parabola[w]> hey
[20:11] <emery> ehcag: roger that
[20:11] <koltroll> If there's any additional information you would need please tell me and I'll do my very best to answer! -any- tip is appreciated, cause I'm really stuck here.
[20:11] <Aemaeth> i hate xbmc
[20:11] <emery> ehcah: roger that
[20:11] <ehcah> I should have installed the card before I installed the minimal desktop.
[20:11] <Aemaeth> vamsi, freemind
[20:11] <Parabola[w]> i've setup BIND just for forwarding, and its not working, anyone have a second to go over my .conf with me?
[20:12] <ehcah> Aemaeth: I am starting to also.
[20:12] <ehcah> At least on this box anyway.
[20:12] <Aemaeth> it's just laggy for me, vlc and rythembox do me just fine
[20:12] <ehcah> I thought I read somewhere that you could boot to a prmpt instaed of the gui, by hitting a key combo on boot?
[20:12] <varunthacker> mattgyver, so i port froward to a fixed 192.168.1.x ip. Do i have to register my ip in a dns lookup?
[20:12] <fbianconi> yes, mine too. What I do is have a dyndns account for publishing mi public IP with ddclient (a daemon) and find it there, in dyndns, from outside
[20:13] <fbianconi> varunthacker: yes, mine too. What I do is have a dyndns account for publishing mi public IP with ddclient (a daemon) and find it there, in dyndns, from outside
[20:13] <ehcah> Aemaeth: I have 2 Zotac Mini's both running xbmc live and they rock.
[20:13] <ehcah> This pc is custom for my theater room.
[20:13] <mattgyver> varunthacker, you can, like I use no-ip.com to use a redirect for my IP but you do not have to, your external IP is sufficient enough (unless its dynamic and changes all the time)
[20:13] <Sleeping_Fox> hey irc
[20:14] <zenlunatic> Sleeping_Fox: hey
[20:14] <Aemaeth> i guess if you had a remote setup, xbmc would be better, and i couldn't put all my files in one place for it to find everything, i'm to disorganized
[20:14] <Aemaeth> and by remote i mean lirc or similar
[20:15] <ehcah> I have an enclosure on my LAN with 16TB of disk space.
[20:15] <ehcah> I just need to fill it!  :)
[20:15] <ashok_shetty> what is cat
[20:15] <Parabola[w]> try it

[20:15] <Sleeping_Fox> i am trying to install the latest version of pidgin but everytime i remove the one i have installed and get the newer version 2.7 , i get the default 2.6:(
[20:15] <Aemaeth> ehcah, i am jealous, do you have a fiber line to help you?
[20:15] <ehcah> yep. 75mb down.
[20:16] <Aemaeth> i recently had to downgrade my connection, moved to a new area that lives in the stone age.  i miss my quick uploads
[20:16] <xangua> Sleeping_Fox: did you followed the instructions at pidgin.im ¿¿
[20:16] <vamsi> @Aemaeth : thanks
[20:16] <ehcah> I got lucky. Our community went live 3 weeks after we moved into a new construction.
[20:16] <ehcah> If I were cash rich, I'd upgrade to 170mb down.
[20:16] <theshadow> Alright what do I need to do to get OpenVPN as a configurable option in the Networking VPN manager
[20:17] <Aemaeth> welcome vamsi hope that's what you were looking for, if not check out alternativeto.net
[20:17] <Sleeping_Fox> yes i removed the old version 2.6 and downloaded the deb package and installed it from the pidgin site
[20:17] <slowmove> Anyone using geany? Q about the tags file...
[20:18] <vamsi> I am using geany :D
[20:18] <vamsi> its cool
[20:18] <ashok_shetty> what touch
[20:18] <vamsi> you wanna check the quality of the video ?
[20:18] <slowmove> vamsi: Created a tags file? I've made on for wordpress functions but need to do some tweaks
[20:18] <ashok_shetty> what is touch
[20:19] <Aemaeth> touch is what?
[20:19] <zenlunatic> ashok_shetty: you can use the command man do get documentation on any command
[20:19] <edakiri> ashok_shetty: not 'what' 'where'  type:  'where touch' or 'type touch'
[20:19] <edakiri> ashok_shetty: or 'man touch'
[20:19] <fraterm> ashok_shetty: cat is short for 'catenate' which emits the contents of a file you give it as an argument.
[20:19] <lolkid> but I prefer, a better idea for php than geany
[20:19] <supercom32>  How long does a particular Ubuntu's releases Repo last?
[20:20] <area51pilot> my indicator by the system clock that shows email and im notifications disappeared...does anyone knowthe associated package (using Evolution mail)
[20:20] <zenlunatic> ashok_shetty: touch is the windows equivalent of right clicking the desktop and going to new ile
[20:20] <Scunizi> supercom32: until the release is "end of live"
[20:20] <zenlunatic> ashok_shetty: it creates an empty file
[20:20] <fraterm> ashok_shetty: touch creates a 0 length file with whatever name(s) you give it.
[20:20] <ashok_shetty> fraterm: i want to see list of commands what is command to b used in terminal
[20:20] <slowmove> lolkid: Like which one?
[20:20] <supercom32> scunizi: is that the same as "No longer supported"?
[20:20] <ashok_shetty> zenlunatic: how to open a file thru terminal
[20:21] <Scunizi> supercom32: yes... 18 months for most releases.. 3 years for LTS release like 10.04 and 5 yrs on the server LTS release
[20:21] <fraterm> you can list the contents of /usr/bin by typing ls /usr/bin to get a list of most executable commands in that directory.
[20:21] <xangua> Sleeping_Fox: you don't have to remove anything, just add the PPA and update
[20:21] <zenlunatic> ashok_shetty: ashok_shetty what do you mean open
[20:21] <Algorithm_42> join #thefailship.net #savethepiratebay
[20:21] <yautja_cetanu2> I've found I need to install the latest Nvidia driver 256.53 but ubuntu only somes with 190.00 (or something). I have found a tutorials. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html
[20:21] <Aemaeth> area51pilot, you want to right click on the task bar and add to panel one of the indicator
[20:21] <Sleeping_Fox> ohh ok
[20:21] <serp_> I installed a PPA for firefox 4.0 dev versions. I want to remove it to go back to the distro version of firefox. how do I do that?
[20:21] <ashok_shetty> zenlunatic: i want to play mp3 thru terminal
[20:21] <yautja_cetanu2> Is this going to cause any problems later on if I install the nvidia files using the .run file they provide? Is it going to be hard to update later? Is there a better way of getting the latest drivers?
[20:22] <ewoerner> fbianconi: thank you
[20:22] <zenlunatic> ashok_shetty: sudo apt-get install mpg321
[20:22] <area51pilot> Aemaeth: I have added some but I cant seem to get the one I had on the original install
[20:22] <dajhorn> serp_: Look at the ppa-purge helper package.
[20:22] <fraterm> ashok_shetty: or if you know the first letter of a command you can type 'c' then hit the tab key and you'll get a list of commands that start with 'c'
[20:22] <Scunizi> yautja_cetanu2: there is a PPA you should look for, for that driver.. without the PPA it's a real pain in the backside
[20:22] <serp_> dajhorn: thanks I'll have alook
[20:22] <area51pilot> Aemaeth: I removed Evolution due to an issue and reinstalled, now its ... poof!
[20:22] <yautja_cetanu2> Scunizi: The ubuntu stuff I have seen though only lets me install old nvidia drivers. I need the latest for my laptop
[20:22] <dajhorn> serp_: Welcome.  Note that ppa-purge is in the universe section.
[20:23] <fraterm> ashok_shetty: seems like you're really new to things and are exploring what you can do...
[20:23] <Scunizi> yautja_cetanu2: the online tutorial is typically out of date.  previous releases have been much easier to install the binary driver.. with 10.04 and up it's a different animal
[20:23] <Scunizi> yautja_cetanu2: like I said.. check for the PPA
[20:23] <yautja_cetanu2> How do I do that?
[20:23] <Scunizi> yautja_cetanu2: hang on and I'll look in google.
[20:23] <ashok_shetty> fraterm: ur right
[20:23] <fraterm> ashok_shetty: like others have said, man <command> and info <command> will be a big help to you also.
[20:23] <serp_> dajhorn: hrm what do you mean?
[20:23] <ashok_shetty> zenlunatic: what is that dude
[20:24] <yautja_cetanu2> Scunizi: I've blacklisted nouvea already. Is that a bad idea?
[20:24] <Scunizi> yautja_cetanu2: https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa
[20:24] <zenlunatic> ashok_shetty: you need to install that program to play an mp3
[20:24] <ashok_shetty> fraterm: dude i should know how to open mp-3 files thru terminal
[20:24] <dajhorn> serp_: The four primary Ubuntu sections are main restricted universe and multiverse.  Unless you specifically asked for 'universe', the ppa-purge package won't appear in the software list.
[20:24] <dajhorn> serp_: You can enable all four sections in the Software Sources panel.
[20:24] <ashok_shetty> zenlunatic: but in windows its not required
[20:25] <Aemaeth> i know i could open a file with vlc FROM terminal, but idk any mp3 cli players
[20:25] <rww> dajhorn, serp_: I just wandered in in the middle of this, but ppa-purge isn't in Ubuntu before Maverick.
[20:25] <blakkheim> Aemaeth: mpd
[20:25] <zenlunatic> ashok_shetty: yeah so what is your point?
[20:25] <yautja_cetanu2> Scunizi: Do I need to blacklist any other drivers for this to work?
[20:25] <Scunizi> ashok_shetty: it's not required in windows because you've pre-paid for the license for the mp3 codec...
[20:25] <agentgasmask> Aemaeth: mp3blaster and moc
[20:25] <fraterm> ashok_shetty: mpg123 is one command line mp3 player if I recall correctly
[20:25] <fraterm> ashok_shetty: also, here are three good url's
[20:25] <sulphur16> Hi All, when I try to format a partition in my external USB harddisk, it fails and I am getting error message in dmesg "Buffer I/O error on device sdd1, logical block 796574"
[20:25] <Aemaeth> lol, i was talking to ashok_shetty , ashok_shetty people are giving you programs
[20:26] <th_> hi all. picture that ubuntu shows when i shut down the box. what it is called? it has a xubuntu logo
[20:26] <fraterm> http://bhami.com/rosetta.html <- especiallly useful if you've used other unixes or might in the future.
[20:26] <Scunizi> yautja_cetanu2: no.. once installed you'll see it in System>Admin>Hardware drivers.. it typically won't give you the version number but will recommend one driver that is listed there.. that will typically be the one you want.
[20:26] <serp_> rww: aha that's too bad...
[20:26] <dajhorn> rww: serp_:  ppa-purge was added to lucid-backports.
[20:26] <Pici> fraterm: plymouth, its the same thing that shows up when you boot.
[20:26] <fraterm> ashok_shetty: http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/cmd/ is another good ref.
[20:27] <Aemaeth> who decides what programs are in those repositories?
[20:27] <agentgasmask> ashok_shetty: If your looking for cli mp3 players, mp3blaster and moc are good
[20:27] <rww> dajhorn: ah, didn't know that. shiny.

[20:27] <Parabola[w]> hey guys, anyone mind sparing a minute of their time for a stupid BIND question?
[20:27] <fraterm> ashok_shetty: and finally this nice cheat sheet http://www.pixelbeat.org/cmdline.html
[20:27] <Parabola[w]> it may not even be a BIND issue, i just need to verify
[20:28] <sulphur16> "Buffer I/O error on device sdd1, logical block 796574"
[20:28] <Delphious> Alien can convert some RPMs to debs, can it do the inverse?
[20:28] <sulphur16> Anybody know what this error is about?
[20:28] <ashok_shetty> fraterm: thanks

[20:29] <Parabola[w]> sulphur16, pretty obvious isnt it :) i/o error on your hard drive
[20:29] <serp_> worker like a charm. thanks guys
[20:30] <th_> hi all. what is that splash screen but at the shutdown called?. and how i can get rid of it? it has a xubuntu logo
[20:30] <Parabola[w]> th_ dude, google "remove ubuntu splashscreen"
[20:30] <sulphur16> Parabola[w]:I can't format my external USB harddisk
[20:31] <Parabola[w]> your drive is screwed up
[20:31] <Parabola[w]> its telling you a buffer error occured
[20:31] <th_> Parabola[w], i dont want to remove both of them. only that shutdown one
[20:31] <Parabola[w]> i'm not sure if its writing to the buffer its self
[20:31] <Parabola[w]> or if its dumping buffer to disk
[20:31] <Parabola[w]> th_ why in gods name would you spend time worrying about the shutdown splash screen?
[20:31] <eross1> so i'm using blender or playing an opengl 3d game, i use the middle mouse button on my logictech wireless optical mouse and everything with the mouse dies except moving the middle mouse button side to side to change highlighting selection of screen or window icons. I end up having to reboot, unplugging and pluggin back in doesn't work. does anyone know what is going on?
[20:31] <deryl> fs should dump to buffer, drive should dump buffer to disc
[20:31] <sulphur16> Parabola[w]:Does that mean its a hardware fault
[20:32] <th_> Parabola[w], well it says xubuntu but i dont have even xfce :( so it bothers me
[20:32] <Parabola[w]> lol
[20:32] <Parabola[w]> th_ i dunno then
[20:32] <Parabola[w]> derly you know anything about name resolution?
[20:32] <fraterm> th_: I'd post that question on the forums.
[20:33] <gerrin> looking for software to convert vids to mp4 format, what should i use
[20:33] <soner> gerrin: use ffmpeg
[20:33] <deryl> sulphur16 ~ that's _usually_ HW related if its complaining about from the buffer to the drive. could also be calling interupts too fast for the drive to handle.
[20:33] <dagny_taggart> gerrin: handbrake
[20:33] <Parabola[w]> mediacoder of course
[20:33] <fraterm> th_: and maybe as an xubuntu bug, if you didn't intend to have that kind of cosmetic alteration (like you installed a normal xfce package, but not the whole thing, and it changed your look-feel on splash screen unintentionally.
[20:34] <th_> fraterm, maybe i do that
[20:34] <fraterm> but if you installed xubuntu specific package, you should expect that.
[20:34] <fraterm> and the xubuntu folks might know better how to remedy it than general ubuntu folks.
[20:34] <deryl> parabola[w] ~ are you seeing my text? (nickserv says I'm authenticated but so far no responses from anyone)
[20:35] <th_> fraterm, i want to manually alter that so i learn something
[20:35]  * fraterm sees deryls text. for the record.
[20:35] <deryl> fraterm ~ thanks
[20:35] <Parabola[w]> deryl,  yup
[20:35] <fraterm> th_: it's a good place to get to understand where to manually do it also.
[20:35] <Parabola[w]> deryl,  i see your text
[20:35] <deryl> cool beans. appreciate the responses
[20:35] <th_> fraterm, what is?
[20:36] <fraterm> th_ going to the "experts" in the package in question, to ask htem how the "guts" of their changes to ubuntu default behavior are implemented.
[20:36] <deryl> now, off to smoke a ciggie while I wait for my Rolling Stones Discography :)
[20:36] <th_> fraterm, maybe i will
[20:36] <fraterm> it's part of your detective work, unless you just want to roll the dice and maybe break your system...
[20:37] <ashok_shetty> what is the code to give in terminal to see all commands
[20:37] <deryl> ashok_shetty ~ there is none.
[20:37] <fraterm> personally I like messing around too, but I like to gather some data before I go cutting stuff up. :)
[20:37] <JodaZ> did anyone check how many of the single letter prefixes of ubuntu are taken ? so far i know of kubuntu, lubuntu and qubuntu, anyone know any others ?
[20:37] <deryl> you can hit a letter then hit TAB a couple times. it will show you what commands are available for that letter
[20:37] <serp_> ashok_shetty: press tab twice
[20:38] <deryl> you can also ls /usr/bin/ and do the same for /bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin/ if you want to see what bins ytou have
[20:38] <fraterm> I don't think it does it unless you type a letter, could be wrong.
[20:38] <deryl> fraterm ~ you are correct
[20:38] <serp_> it does for me in bash
[20:38] <deryl> ooo, serp is correct in bash. (just tried that)
[20:38] <Sleeping_Fox> TY irc :).
[20:38] <forkup> on ubuntu 10.04 how can i auto start teamviewer minimized
[20:38] <deryl> always had to type a single letter before
[20:39] <fraterm> deryl: sheesh, learn something new every day.
[20:39] <deryl> fraterm ~ fortunately :)
[20:39] <slooksterpsv> How's everyone doing =D
[20:39] <deryl> life would be so boring otherwise
[20:39] <guntbert> dajhorn: I read your statement about ppa-purge being in lucid-backports, how do I install it? (any frontend is fine)
[20:39]  * fraterm nods at deryl
[20:39] <deryl> 'lo slook
[20:39] <fraterm> why I love using linux
[20:39] <fraterm> reason number 256

[20:40] <serp_> guntbert: I added the packports to the repository list in synaptic, then used apt-get to install ppa-purge, because I couldn't find it from synaptic
[20:40] <Guest40727> i want fast download manager plz like idm in windows i'm using ubuntu 10.4 now plz help ................
[20:40] <deryl> fraterm ~ <grin> linux and freebsd for anything meaninful for me. Windows is just games and movies or when I absolutely MUST have some compatability that linux/freebsd doesn;t provide
[20:40] <serp_> obvious troll
[20:40] <aeon-ltd> Guest40727: downthemall in firefox?
[20:40] <OneMillionDollar> how to change my default player to alc player
[20:40] <dajhorn> guntbert: Add this line:  deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[20:41] <Guest40727> is there any one else ????
[20:41] <gonzalez> Hola, alguien que hable espanol?
[20:41] <Pici> !es | gonzalez
[20:41] <aeon-ltd> OneMillionDollar: in nautilus, you can right click on properties then select use this for similar file types iirc
[20:41] <deryl> onemilliondollar ~ man update-alternatives might help you
[20:41] <slooksterpsv> OneMillionDollar: when you open a music file, if you go to openwith you can set it to the default for that format
[20:41] <fraterm> so bash default function in ubuntu has some pretty nice enhancements.
[20:41] <slooksterpsv> OneMillionDollar - *music, video, etc.
[20:41] <deryl> iirc there is are a bunch of x-* links in there
[20:42] <deryl> guest37232 ~ kget, fireget, a whole SLEW of them. google for one, check them all out and use the one you like best
[20:42] <slooksterpsv> Guest40727 what OS?
[20:42] <deryl> guest37232 ~ apt-cache search as well
[20:42] <deryl> slooksterpsv ~ ubuntu
[20:43] <slooksterpsv> dang he left lol - was wondering 10.04 9.04 etc. cause I found a few download managers in Software Centre
[20:43] <fraterm> one thing I'm really interested in finding out is if there's a good PPA for wacom-enabled QT and the latest and greatest Krita, that doesn't involve me needing to fully go kubuntu.
[20:43] <deryl> oh he said 10.04
[20:43] <fraterm> in 10.04
[20:43] <guntbert> dajhorn: I have that line and did update the database but still aptitude search won't find it and aptitude install didn't find it either
[20:43] <deryl> fraterm ~ hehe only ubuntu release I use usually (kubuntu) then again I'm a KDE freak :)
[20:43] <fraterm> Otherwise I'm probably stuck waiting a few months for it to work it's way into default QT.
[20:43] <guntbert> serp_: thx, but aptitude doesn't find it
[20:44] <noric> Using 9.10, how can I make an SSH tunnel auto start/keepalive? I heard there is an  ~/.ssh/tunnels file, but cant find the man page. Thanks.
[20:44] <deryl> i so do not like the look and feel of gnome. but thats me
[20:44] <dajhorn> guntbert: You can download it directly:  http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid-backports/ppa-purge
[20:44] <dschuett> sorry for the duplicate question, but i lost internet connectivity: anyone know how to get ubuntu 10.04 to recognize my tape drive?
[20:44] <fraterm> deryl: well... I'd take the leap perhaps, but I like how mainline ubuntu has gnome sort of beaten into shape.
[20:44] <guntbert> dajhorn: good idea, thx :-)
[20:44] <deryl> ok time for that cig. been sitting here with it in my lips :)
[20:44] <dajhorn> guntbert: Welcome.
[20:44] <slooksterpsv> dschuett what kind of tape drive is it?
[20:45] <dschuett> slooksterpsv: scsi hp storageworks ulrium 448
[20:45] <deryl> fraterm ~ I've tried the regular release of ubuntu, and I admit they have it getting better, but I find I work so much better and easier with less issues in Kubuntu
[20:46] <fraterm> deryl: I've been hearing that about kubuntu from others, maybe I'll install the whole mess of packages.
[20:46] <fraterm> I just really want krita to be as pressure sensitive as gimp and inkscape.
[20:46] <deryl> there is one issue that may or may not bite you
[20:46] <guntbert> !ot | deryl fraterm
[20:46] <deryl> especially if you have an ATI card
[20:46] <ePirat> how i connect to wlan via cernel console ?
[20:46] <deryl> guntbert ~ shut up and move on
[20:47] <gonzalez> nadie que hable espanol? :(
[20:47] <SolomonKull> !es
[20:47] <slooksterpsv> dschuett I'm seeing it works in Debian, not sure about Ubuntu, lemme check a few more things
[20:47] <ePirat> gonzalez: que?
[20:47] <guntbert> deryl: please keep to the topic - ubuntu support - and stay polite
[20:47] <gonzalez> lo que pasa esque tengo problemas al instalar mi impresora
[20:47] <deryl> guntbert ~ i AM on topic you nut. and I'm always polite until the trolls hit
[20:47] <deryl> such as you\
[20:47] <dschuett> slooksterpsv: thanks a lot, i've been trying to get this working for HOURS
[20:47] <gonzalez> apenas comienzo a utilizar ubuntu
[20:47] <yautja_cetanu2> I just followed a tutorial installing a new PPA for the latest Nvidia graphics  http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/how-to-install-nvidia-25635-display.html
[20:48] <ePirat> gonzalez: solo ingles...
[20:48] <deryl> fraterm ~ anyways.. that issue for the kde .. gimme a minute to type it out
[20:48] <yautja_cetanu2> I can't quite tell if it has worked. Can anyone help me. If I go to System - Hardware Drivers it says that I'm using a "different version"
[20:48] <gonzalez> mmmmmmmmmmmm
[20:48] <yautja_cetanu2> But I can't find where to go to confirm that 256.53 has succesfully installed?   This channel sucks, too many morons.  /part; /ignore #ubuntu --forever
[20:50] <uman> rawr
[20:50] <slooksterpsv> * dschuett lol what's the status of the command:  mt status
[20:50] <dschuett> slooksterpsv: just a sec i will see
[20:50] <deryl> fraterm ~ basically, if you have an ATI card, when you are running kdm for your manager and you log out of the session, it doesn't restart the kdm correctly and corrupts the video. I'm thinking its an issue with the fglrx driver itself
[20:51] <mantizz> coz: still here???
[20:52] <deryl> fraterm ~ also, when you run gdm instead to fix the issue (which it does) you lose the restart shutdown capability. you have to log out of your session and select either of those options from the gdm screen
[20:52] <deryl> really sucks
[20:53] <deryl> but other than that I've seen no issues with the kubuntu release (which is just ubuntu with kde as the default rather than gnome)
[20:53] <dschuett> slookstervpsv: it says /dev/tape no such file or directory
[20:53] <deryl> dschuett ~ you have to create the link in /dev
[20:53] <deryl> or use udev to do it
[20:54] <deryl> udev iirc is the preferred
[20:54] <slooksterpsv> dschuett - ok that's where we need to start, find out what happened to /dev/tape (I don't have it either) could be renamed though
[20:54] <yautja_cetanu2> I need some help installing the latest nvidia drivers
[20:54] <deryl> slooksterpsv ~ usually its a sym to the actual device
[20:54] <slooksterpsv> deryl ~ like st0 or that?
[20:55] <yautja_cetanu2> I've tried to follow the tutorials and I have no idea if they have worked
[20:55] <deryl> yeah
[20:55] <slooksterpsv> dschuett - try this: mt -f /dev/st0 tell
[20:55] <deryl> you can manually make it of course, but everything i've read says to use udev to handle that
[20:56] <deryl> in windows right now so i can't look at the /etc/udev* stuff
[20:56] <antIP> Any suggestions on a more reliable battery indicator in Ubuntu? (I'm running 10.04) In windows my laptop shows 8 hours battery life, while in Ubuntu it shows 4.5 hours. My acer laptop usually get's 8hrs of batter life.
[20:57] <deryl> gets a bit too much coding in ruby and raisl all day, so occasionally i boot to windows to play games. today i just decided to idly chat :)
[20:57] <slooksterpsv> dschuett - or try mt -f /dev/st0 status - what does that give
[20:57] <dschuett> slooksterpsv: /dev/st0: No such file or directory
[20:57] <deryl> make sure you got the dev first: ls /dev/st*
[20:57] <deryl> does the dev exist
[20:57] <dschuett> slooksterpsv: i do notice something really strange in dmesg: scsi2: someone reset channel A
[20:58] <dschuett> slooksterpsv: it repeats that over and over
[20:58] <deryl> thats the scsi dev resetting the command channel iirc
[20:59] <deryl> i dont run scsi devs so i forget what its actually called. the channel for scsi where you can stack commands\
[20:59] <mantizz> No sound from Headphone front panel on ubuntu 10.04 64 bit gnome..
[20:59] <Ricoshady> i have a dev box that all the sudden got extremely slow, even tho the cpu is reading almost 0%
[20:59] <Ricoshady> no swap
[21:00] <deryl> mantizz ~ if running pulse audio I have that problem too. i have to manually use the pactl to change the dev
[21:00] <ePirat> how can i start vnc server via the terminal?
[21:00] <mantizz> deryl: i am using default Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.
[21:00] <yautja_cetanu2> Does anyone know how to update to the latest nvidia drivers?
[21:01] <deryl> epirat ~ iirc its sudo /etc/init.d/vncserver restart or manually with vncserver
[21:01] <deryl> mantizz ~ ok, not my specialty. i'll back out
[21:01] <flasomm> hello all
[21:01] <mantizz> deryl: Headset mic is working fine but no sound..
[21:01] <soner> hello flasomm
[21:01] <mantizz> deryl: LOL okay
[21:01] <aeon-ltd> yautja_cetanu2: uhh, they'll update with the rest of ubuntu, through update manager, however you can download and run the script from the nvidia site
[21:01] <mantizz> deryl: i am using default Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.
[21:02] <mantizz> No sound from Headphone front panel on ubuntu 10.04 64 bit gnome..
[21:02] <deryl> sounds like its stuck on the internal to me. doesn't alsa have a control script for querying?
[21:02] <flasomm> I have a question, someone knows an apps to make appear and disapper the console on the desktop ?
[21:02] <aeon-ltd> mantizz: please just call it ALSA for typing sake
[21:02] <yautja_cetanu2> aeon-ltd: I need the latest. Ubuntu has a version 19x.xx
[21:02] <deryl> mantizz ~ hehe just might want to remove my nick from the beginning of that line
[21:02] <najsowy> g\
[21:02] <slooksterpsv> dschuett - try stinit
[21:02] <aeon-ltd> flasomm: like how? more details please

[21:03] <yautja_cetanu2> Aeon-ltd: I need 256 to get it working with my laptop. I've tried installing a PPA that updates it (been told doing it from the website is a bad idea) but I have no idea of how to confirm whether it has worked
[21:03] <flasomm> aeon-ltd: on top of desktop
[21:03] <IdleOne> flasomm: try guake
[21:03] <Qwert> Sorry, have been solving client issue.
[21:03] <flasomm> IdleOne: thx

[21:04] <slooksterpsv> dschuett - hmmm... are you connecting up via scsi, usb->scsi, or...?
[21:04] <aeon-ltd> yautja_cetanu2: try (in terminal) "nvidia-settings -q NvidiaDriverVersion"
[21:05] <multipass> how do you restart ubuntu without restarting computer? whats the command?
[21:05] <aeon-ltd> multipass: you can't, but you can restart Xorg
[21:05] <IdleOne> multipass: alt-sysrq-k
[21:05] <dschuett> it is an internal scsi Adaptec card which is recognized using lspci, and i am connecting internally as well to scsi tape drive
[21:05] <multipass> right
[21:05] <scriptwarlock> anyone knows how to fix this: ee usb keyboard failed to initialized for relative axes
[21:05] <dschuett> slooksterpsv: it is an internal scsi Adaptec card which is recognized using lspci, and i am connecting internally as well to scsi tape drive
[21:05] <yautja_cetanu2> aeon-ltd: I get nothing
[21:05] <yautja_cetanu2> aeon-ltd: I need to be right back and restart the machine
[21:06] <multipass> IdleOne: is that a terminal command?
[21:06] <aeon-ltd> yautja_cetanu2: ok try "grep -i "x driver" /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[21:06] <IdleOne> multipass: no hold down the alt=sysrq-k keys that will restart X
[21:06] <balleyne> Are there tools for creating webm videos in Ubuntu?
[21:06] <deryl> idleone ~ hehe hard to do that combo on my laptop. it's a unction key macro
[21:06] <deryl> function even
[21:06] <multipass> IdleOne: ok thanks :D gonna try it brb
[21:07] <aeon-ltd> balleyne: is this for youtube?, cos they can convert it themselves
[21:07] <deryl> and there are apps in apt for that as well. apt-cache search youtube
[21:07] <IdleOne> !dontzap > deryl
[21:08] <deryl> idleone ~ oh thanks! :)
[21:08] <deryl> gnarley
[21:08] <scriptwarlock> anyone knows how to fix this: ee usb keyboard failed to initialized for relative axes
[21:09] <multipass> hmm alt sysrq k just made my screen get all crazy-artifacts n stuff, then nothing happened :[
[21:09] <maco> !mintsupport
[21:10] <maco> wait wrong channel
[21:10] <aeon-ltd> scriptwarlock: are you trying to run a different WM or DE?
[21:10] <aeon-ltd> multipass: meh, kill Gdm if you have to really restart X
[21:10] <scriptwarlock> aeon-ltd: actually cant boot now to my account so im using now a root
[21:10] <deryl> meera ~ please do not message me
[21:11] <aeon-ltd> scriptwarlock: check your .xinitrc for mistakes in your ~/
[21:11] <EvilPhoenix> clear
[21:11] <scriptwarlock> aeon-ltd: cant startx on my account but the error is regarding this usb keyboard failed to initialize
[21:11] <EvilPhoenix> oops ignore me
[21:11] <multipass> so basically just rebooting computer is best way to restart
[21:11] <aeon-ltd> scriptwarlock: yeah i know, what DE or WM do you want to use?
[21:11] <IdleOne> multipass: no
[21:11] <scx> hello
[21:11] <scriptwarlock> aeon-ltd: gnome
[21:12] <IdleOne> multipass: try ctrl-alt-backspace
[21:12] <slooksterpsv> dschuett - I'm stumped, sorry :(
[21:12] <deryl> sounds like video driver / video page corruption idleone doesn't it?
[21:12] <deryl> the crazy video artifacts
[21:12] <scx> i have old VIA/S3 Graphic Card: Unichrome (CLE266/VT8235)
[21:12] <aeon-ltd> scriptwarlock: edit your ~/.xinitrc just put "exec gnome-session" (without the quotes) then try startx
[21:12] <scx> what driver i should use?
[21:12] <dwxreaper> how do I see what a package did when it installed?
[21:12] <dwxreaper> I want to see if it compiled some perl stuff and put it in the right folder
[21:12] <scriptwarlock> aeon-ltd: right now using this root account?
[21:13] <aeon-ltd> scriptwarlock: yeah just go into your /home edit .xinitrc
[21:13] <earthling_> How do I make my hard drive more quiet? or just put it to sleep?
[21:13] <deryl> earthling_ ~ you could try using hdparm
[21:13] <andycc> earthling_: look up laptop mode.
[21:13] <scx> x.org driver? "unichrome driver" (unichrome.sf.net)? or openchrome?
[21:13] <deryl> and what andycc said :)
[21:13] <deryl> apt-cache show laptop-mode
[21:13] <andycc> !info laptop-mode-tools
[21:14] <deryl> oh forgot it ended in -tools
[21:14] <Stava> Do you know of any software that can restrict internet access so that only a few applications may access it, during certain hours? like some kind of parental control
[21:14] <earthling_> andycc, deryl, yeah, I was looking at those, alot of stuff to learn
[21:14] <deryl> earthling_ ~ i use it on my own laptop
[21:14] <andycc> earthling_: just install laptop-mode-tools and reboot.
[21:14] <andycc> earthling_: no configuration required. It Just Works (TM).
[21:14] <fraterm> sudo aptitude install laptop-mode-tools reboot, enjoy.
[21:15]  * fraterm puts that on his todo list.
[21:15] <dwxreaper> how do I see what a package did when it installed?
[21:15] <deryl> yep. i just modified mine to take over when battery dropped to 2% rather than the 25% default
[21:15] <karmic> hello
[21:15] <jsidhu> hey guys, i have a file in cron.d that should run every minute, but its not.. cron is running, but not executing my file.. the syntax is correct.. any ideas on how to go about troubleshooting this? (nothing in /var/log/cron.log)
[21:16] <earthling_> will look into that
[21:16] <andycc> jsidhu: stupid q, but is it in your crontab?
[21:16] <scriptwarlock> aeon-ltd: i'll add those lines next to ./etc/x11/session?
[21:16] <aeon-ltd> scriptwarlock: no, to your .xinitrc
[21:16] <jsidhu> its a file in /etc/cron.d
[21:17] <scriptwarlock> aeon-ltd: yeah thats what i have inside in this file
[21:17] <aeon-ltd> scriptwarlock: no, what else is in the file?
[21:17] <deryl> fraterm ~ talk to you later. switching to another network for a bit
[21:18] <deryl> s/switching/concentrating/
[21:18] <scriptwarlock> aeon-ltd: ill pastebin
[21:18] <aeon-ltd> scriptwarlock: k
[21:18] <dschuett> slooksterpsv: thanks for your help
[21:19] <slooksterpsv> dschuett - yw, that's a toughy dude, let me know if you get it fixed
[21:19] <scriptwarlock> aeon-ltd: here c
[21:19] <dschuett> slooksterpsv: will do!
[21:19] <scriptwarlock> aeon-ltd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/499942/
[21:19] <dschuett> anyone else want to take a shot at helping me get ubuntu to recognize my hp storageworks ulrium 448 scsi tape drive? - been working on this for hours
[21:19] <aeon-ltd> scriptwarlock: ok start a new line after the /etc stuff
[21:20] <aeon-ltd> scriptwarlock: and put exec gnome-session
[21:20] <scriptwarlock> aeon-ltd: k and then restart?
[21:20] <aeon-ltd> scriptwarlock: no need to just log out, then log in (in the tty terminal) and startx
[21:20] <scriptwarlock> ok
[21:21] <scriptwarlock> aeon-ltd: k let me try
[21:21] <Stava> Is there any parental control software that is not just a proxy, and requires a password to disable?
[21:21] <andycc> dschuett: http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/tapecompatibility.html
[21:21] <ahisome> hii
[21:21] <Aemaeth> i have a very noob question, if i ssh into a remote machine and start a command, can i close out my shell and have it still run?
[21:22] <andycc> Aemaeth: yes, if you use screen.
[21:22] <blakkheim> Aemaeth: with screen you can
[21:22] <ahisome> want to know the use of clive
[21:22] <Aemaeth> i see, so man screen and i'll know what you're talking about?
[21:22] <andycc> Aemaeth: if the machine is running Ubuntu, install Byobu
[21:22] <andycc> !info byobu | Aemaeth
[21:23] <andycc> Aemaeth: then run whatever command you want and hit Ctrl+D D
[21:23] <Aemaeth> byobu on client side?
[21:23] <andycc> Aemaeth: on server side.
[21:23] <Aemaeth> ok
[21:23] <pudgypaw> hey guys, i have trouble getting php to parse
[21:23] <andycc> Aemaeth: it's easy to use, just Ctrl+?
[21:23] <pudgypaw> it worked before but yesterday my setup suddenly quit on me, can anyone walk it through w/ me?
[21:24] <pudgypaw> I can try apache+php or nginx+php whichever will work
[21:24] <Aemaeth> says it already has it
[21:24] <andycc> Aemaeth: then just run byobu.
[21:24] <jsidhu> so uh, any ideas on why a cron file i put in /etc/cron.d wont work? is there a limitation that i cant run something every minute?
[21:24] <shcherbak> Aemaeth byobu -d -r
[21:24] <andycc> shcherbak: -d -r?
[21:25] <shcherbak> Aemaeth: byobu -d -r but you rather should use screen not byobu
[21:25] <shcherbak> detach and reatach
[21:25] <andycc> shcherbak: byobu auto-reattaches.
[21:25] <andycc> No need for that.
[21:26] <Flannel> jsidhu: Every minute is fine, is it the last line in your crontab?
[21:26] <shcherbak> upc, should be screen not byobu, sorry
[21:26] <jsidhu> its not a crontab, its a individual file put in /etc/cron.d
[21:26] <grifo74> #debian
[21:26] <Aemaeth> oh, wow, yea, byubu seems to make sense to me..i gues
[21:26] <shcherbak> btw, why i can have only one instance of byobu?
[21:27] <andycc> shcherbak: because byobu auto-attaches, as I said.
[21:27] <andycc> shcherbak: maybe byobu -d works for that.
[21:27] <Flannel> jsidhu: Do you have a blank line after that line in the file?
[21:27] <shcherbak> then how to start second instance? will try -d
[21:27] <blakkheim> i don't think there's a need for 屏風 when regular screen does the job - isn't it just kind of a "theme" to make it easier for noobs?
[21:28] <jsidhu> let me check
[21:28] <Evanion> Anyone know how to move the Notify OSD anchor to another screen?
[21:28] <shcherbak> Aemaeth: still you want to get familiar with screen ()
[21:28] <jsidhu> Flannel: no it does not
[21:28] <andycc> blakkheim: assuming those kanji/whatever characters mean "byobu", you are correct.
[21:28] <shcherbak> Aemaeth: GNU screen ()
[21:28] <antIP> Ubuntu doesn't read proper battery life.
[21:28] <dschuett> andycc: there is nothing in there that shows how to get ubuntu to recognize the tape drive
[21:29] <sjuxax> hi
[21:29] <jsidhu> should it have a blank line
[21:29] <andycc> dschuett: sorry, closest I could find.
[21:29] <Flannel> jsidhu: Add one, cron won't run lines without a carriage return ending them
[21:30] <andycc> Flannel: you mean line feed.
[21:30] <antIP> Does anyone have any idea how to get Ubuntu 10.04 to show proper battery life? I have a laptop that shows 8hrs in Windows 7, and only 4 hrs on the same charge in Ubuntu 10.04.
[21:31] <navjot> Hi, I need some help with ubuntu one contacts sync with evolution
[21:31] <Aemaeth> antIP, does it really last 8 hrs?
[21:31] <aeon-ltd> antIP: uhh, power consumption is different in the OSes, most of the time it isn't wrong
[21:31] <blakkheim> antIP: linux's power management isn't the same as windows, sometimes it actually does get that much less
[21:31] <andycc> antIP: Linux in general consumes more battery due to incompatible hardware. Try using laptop mode and PowerTOP to get more battery life.

[21:32] <Aemaeth> i'm still not seeing how i can close out my shell and have the command keep running on the remote server :(
[21:33] <blakkheim> Aemaeth: ssh in, run screen, run the command, ctrl+a+d to disconnect, exit
[21:33] <blakkheim> Aemaeth: ssh in again, run screen -r, you're back
[21:33] <Midler> is there anyone that would mind helping me with zotac mag installation
[21:33] <Midler> iam having truble with getting the hdmi output to work, at all
[21:33] <andycc> navjot: looks like it doesn't find your address book.
[21:34] <navjot> Im using ubuntu one
[21:34] <navjot> the efualt adress book for it
[21:34] <Midler> it doesnt detect the hdmi screen
[21:34] <Aemaeth> kk, blakkheim
[21:34] <antIP> andycc: I'm already running in laptop mode
[21:34] <navjot> maybe someone can tell me what couchdb server to connect to :S
[21:35] <andycc> antIP: then "sudo apt-get install powertop", "sudo powertop" and from there it's easy.
[21:35] <andycc> antIP: should give you a little more boost.
[21:35] <antIP> andycc: Yeah, I'm doing it now.

[21:41] <Medusa> Hi all. I'm running 10.04 with two disks in Raid-1 with mdadm. Works great. I've just added a new raid-5 with 3 disks. In /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf only the raid-1 is stated. I guess both should be there to automatically bring both raids up after rebooting? Any pointers would be great. Thanks!!!
[21:41] <rmrfslash> Shouldn't `xvfb-run` use `mktemp` in place of `tempfile` in the only place that it's using `tempfile`?
[21:42] <m4rtin> is it possible to get to the recovery console if no grub menu is shown? (I need to add an acpi configuration line to my grub menu, but I see no way of getting to edit it)
[21:42] <xlive> elo anyone here ?
[21:42] <andycc> Medusa: I guess both have to be there. I only used mdadm briefly and I actually hate it, so can't really help you with that.
[21:42] <aeon-ltd> xlive: yes.
[21:43] <andycc> xlive: no.
[21:43] <m4rtin> ah

[21:43] <Medusa> thanks andycc. Are you using anything else for managing software raids? Anyone else have any experiences with mdadm (see question above).

[21:45] <aeon-ltd> xlive: sureeeeee *convincing sarcasm*
[21:45] <Midler> its like the nvidia driver is wrong or something
[21:47] <dajhorn> ezy: That works on my T61.  Check thinkwiki -- your model may not have the necessary hardware.
[21:48] <Sp][nE> wheres the boot list for grub in 10.04?
[21:48] <andycc> Sp][nE: in /etc/grub.d/ I think.
[21:48] <Oer> !grub2
[21:48] <andycc> Sp][nE: lucid uses grub2.
[21:49] <Jordan_U> Sp][nE: It's hidden by default at boot. Hold shift during boot to see the grub menu.
[21:49] <ezy> dajhorn, it used to work before on the xp os but not detecting it on this kernel. Did a couple of recommendations from thinkwiki but not helpful :-(

[21:53] <andycc> Midler: oh, you're the one with the HDMI problem.
[21:53] <Midler> Iam having truble to get the hdmi output to work at all on a zotac mag htpc
[21:53] <Midler> andycc: yes
[21:53] <Midler> i think its driver problems
[21:54] <Midler> but by the guide iam following
[21:54] <Midler> the propietary shouldnt have these problems (except for enabling sound)
[21:54] <Jordan_U> m4rtin: Plus they have a unique warranty http://zareason.com/shop/ZaReason-s-Open-Hardware-Warranty.html
[21:54] <Midler> the tv also feels it has hdmi connected to it, but nvidia display settings dosnt find the another screen

[21:57] <moreia> Sooo: Since I updated to Lucid, updatedb has stopped cataloging my home directory. It's encrypted, but it's mounted so it ought to be indexible.
[21:57] <andycc> Midler: don't use nvidia settings, use system>preferences>monitors.
[21:57] <moreia> Any ideas how I fix that?
[21:57] <Midler> all lines
[21:57] <Midler> *the hole line?
[21:58] <andycc> Midler: yes, the whole line.
[21:58] <quidnunc> What does "dovecot start/killed, process 924" as the output of "service dovecot status" mean?
[21:58] <andycc> quidnunc: probably that dovecot is now process 924.
[21:58] <Midler> 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation ION VGA (rev b1)
[21:58] <Midler> nvidia propietary driver is installed threw ubuntu repo
[21:59] <quidnunc> andycc: But there is no process 924. And what is the "killed" indication?
[21:59] <jbatista> hi
[21:59] <jbatista> anyone noticed that gnome-terminal no longer saves the window size?
[22:00] <andycc> Midler: use system>preferences>monitors to change resolution/active screens
[22:00] <andycc> jbatista: yes, it's in the settings.
[22:00] <Midler> andycc: it dosnt find hdmi either
[22:01] <jbatista> andycc: that option seems to be gone in 2.30.2-0ubuntu1
[22:01] <jbatista> andycc: but is still in 2.29.6-0ubuntu5
[22:02] <jbatista> andycc: I just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me... :)
[22:02] <andycc> jbatista: hmm. You're right. I can't seem to find the option either...

[22:03] <datacrusher> hello! im having some odd issues with my ubuntu instalation. Iv installed 8.04 and been updating since 10.04, but now some odd things, like sometimes dont detecting my external audio board, my 3g modem and so on... I got /home separated, but im concerned if i do a reinstall some odd configurations would still be there... how would be the best move to "renew" my ubuntu instalation, without losing data? bur purging the trouble?
[22:03] <datacrusher> bur = but
[22:03] <andycc> jbatista: you have a launchpad account, right?
[22:04] <jbatista> andycc: yep
[22:04] <jbatista> andycc: why?
[22:04] <andycc> jbatista: just asking.
[22:04] <jbatista> andycc: ok
[22:04] <isleshocky77> I have a script in /id-up.d/ which obviously runs as root, but then I (as a normal user) cannot modify the process. What's the best way of having it run the script and change the process to me?  I've seen putting su username at the top of the file. Anything better?
[22:05] <Midler> andycc: any other ideas?
[22:05] <andycc> Midler: sorry, no.
[22:06] <HTT-Bird> I'm sitting next to a friend with a Gateway M275 convertible.  He's trying to install Lucid on it...and he gets a screen with a bunch of filled box characters on it then a blank-screen hang shortly after configuring the sensors stuff
[22:06] <HTT-Bird> (btw, noapic is no good in his case)
[22:06] <andycc> HTT-Bird: acpi=off?
[22:07] <allie> looking for some help installing the drivers for my printer
[22:07] <andycc> allie: what printer?
[22:07] <allie> have gone looking on my own but still don't quite get it...i get lost :S
[22:08] <allie> andycc: a canon pixma mp560
[22:08] <HTT-Bird> andycc, he's tried apic=off acpi=off
[22:08] <andycc> allie: let me look that one up...
[22:08] <HTT-Bird> no wait...
[22:08] <HTT-Bird> it's apic=off lapic=off
[22:08] <HTT-Bird> he hasn't tried acpi=off
[22:08] <allie> andycc: thanks so much...i've downloaded the drivers already..
[22:09] <andycc> allie: ...there are downloadable drivers for Canon printers?
[22:09] <allie> well...files that i have to open in the terminal...
[22:10] <HTT-Bird> andycc, should he try acpi=off?
[22:10] <andycc> HTT-Bird: maybe.
[22:10] <allie> andycc: this is the site i've been trying to get thru
[22:10] <allie> http://longair.net/blog/2010/06/06/the-canon-pixma-mp560-on-ubuntu/
[22:10] <andycc> allie: oh thank you for that.
[22:11] <jags> I'm trying to make a shortcut for nautilus with no success, anyone have an idea how to go about it, I'm using gconf-editor apps/metacity/global_keybindings/ but none of the changes I make seem to do anything.  Any ideas?
[22:12] <Roasted> Here's a fun problem. I can log into my Ubuntu system just fine, but if I lock my system and try to log back in, it says incorrect password. Yes - I'm using the EXACT same PW to log in initially as I am to unlock the computer.
[22:12] <soner> jags: do you want to make a simple shortcut? did you try ln?
[22:12] <andycc> allie: you should simply run install.sh as specified by that tutorial.
[22:12] <RippZzZ> I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04.1. Grub seems to default at memtest, and spend like only 1 second before choosing Memtest. Is there any way to change the default OS loaded by Grub?
[22:12] <Midler> ok
[22:12] <Midler> problem
[22:12] <Midler> solved
[22:12] <jags> soner, I want to make <Super>e open nautilus
[22:12] <andycc> Roasted: watch out for the locale. Left me hanging too.
[22:12] <Midler> error was -> using propietary from ubuntu repo
[22:13] <jags> what is ln?
[22:13] <Midler> installing newest driver from nvidia = solved my problem
[22:13] <soner> you can create a shortcut file with the command ln
[22:13] <Midler> \o/
[22:13] <pw-toxic> hi,  how can i set permissions of my samba server? i want my windows system to have access to my ubuntu files
[22:13] <Roasted> andycc, pardon?
[22:13] <jags> pw-toxic, I found webadmin to be really helpful for setting up samba
[22:14] <allie> andycc: No command 'run' found, did you mean:   sorry..i just still get so lost with using the terminal...i don't do it enough..
[22:14] <andycc> Roasted: if you have multiple locales installed, watch out for which is selected at the unlock screen.
[22:14] <pw-toxic> jags, webmin is not compatible with ubuntu
[22:14] <tripelb> Drive me back to windoes will you?  again and again:  the following plug-in has crashed:  /opt/google/chrome/libgcflashplayer.so
[22:14] <HTT-Bird> jags, ln makes links (which are shortcut-like).  there are two types of links: hard links are a second name for the same file. symlinks point at a different file by storing its name and path in the symlink.  (regular ln makes hardlinks, use ln -s to make symlinks)
[22:14] <andycc> Roasted: I have US english and Romanian, and it sometimes breaks my symbols.
[22:14] <jags> It worked well for my setup
[22:14] <rifter> I need some help with command-line methods to configure xorg in ubuntu
[22:14] <Roasted> andycc, I'm not entirely sure I follow...
[22:14] <rifter> nothing I have tried or read about has forked
[22:14] <cj_> hi
[22:14] <pw-toxic> jags, which ubuntu version do you have?
[22:14] <jags> 10.04
[22:14] <HTT-Bird> tripelb, you tell me.  flash loves to blow its top.
[22:14] <pw-toxic> using wemin is highly discuraged on the ubuntu wiki
[22:15] <rifter> dpkg-reconfigure just goes straight t o the prompt with no change
[22:15] <andycc> Roasted: do you have multiple languages installed?
[22:15] <soner> hi cj_
[22:15] <tripelb> Drive me back to windows will you?  again and again:  the following plug-in has crashed:  /opt/google/chrome/libgcflashplayer.so  ---new 10.04 install.
[22:15] <cj_> i
[22:15] <cj_> hi
[22:15] <HTT-Bird> andycc, acpi=off triggers the issue (and the block-things are multicolored too)
[22:15] <Roasted> andycc, I don't believe so. Its a default install as of 2 nights ago.
[22:15] <jbatista> bye bye
[22:15] <soner> tripelb: yeah I often get the same error
[22:15] <andycc> Roasted: so you don't, which means it's another issue.
[22:16] <cj_> I have an external hd with a backup of my old xp data that i had root kits and viruses and malware and junk so I had to reformat it... if i scan the external hd running ubuntu could it get infected
[22:16] <blakkheim> cj_: no
[22:16]  * tripelb weeps with soner
[22:16] <rifter> the xrandr method I read about requires x to be working to even work.  what is the point of that?
[22:17] <cj_> it couldt be cross platform
[22:17] <rifter> and every other method I read about for configuring x requires x to already be working because it is a gui
[22:17] <cj_> :P
[22:17] <slooksterpsv> ok I'm back sorry all
[22:17] <jrib> rifter: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config
[22:17]  * rifter laments for xf86config
[22:17] <rifter> yes I read that
[22:17] <jrib> rifter: no you didn't because what you are saying contradicts what that page sasy
[22:17] <rifter> nothing works there
[22:17] <rifter> okay I will look again
[22:17] <jrib> rifter: and you haven't even told us what you want to do
[22:18] <rifter> lok all I need to do is specify a resolution
[22:18] <soner> cj_: I don't think viruses can be very effective under linux
[22:18] <jrib> rifter: that should be there
[22:18] <cj_> So, rootkits wouldn't have a section of code for dicking with the level 3 ring of the os
[22:18] <rifter> I want o tell x to use a specific resolution because it is not detectingthe lcd monitor right and for some reason it decides t o pick the most outrageous widescreen resolution instead
[22:18] <jrib> rifter: that's fine, that page (or a link in it) covers that
[22:19] <rifter> okay I already said I tried to configure xorg
[22:19] <cj_> ok
[22:19] <rifter> all I got was a new prompt
[22:19] <cj_> thanks
[22:19] <HTT-Bird> cj_, more like very few pieces of malware are written to be able to handle both WIndows and Linux
[22:19] <jrib> rifter: ok, now try with what the page says
[22:19] <jrib> !who | rifter
[22:19]  * HTT-Bird pings andycc
[22:19] <coz_> cj_,   if you want you can install rkhunter
[22:19]  * andycc replies to HTT-Bird's ping
[22:20] <rifter> all it says to do is that sudo Xorg -configure will give you an initial xorg file
[22:20] <cj_> okay
[22:20] <rifter> in order to put modes in that file I need modelines
[22:20] <coz_> cj_,   then run sudo rkhunter --update  then sudo rkhunter --propupd   then    sudo rkhunter -c
[22:20] <HTT-Bird> andycc, acpi=off also triggers the same issue.
[22:20] <rifter> and unless some configuration tool makes those I can't just come up with them from my head
[22:21] <andycc> HTT-Bird: sorry, helping out allie right now. Might be a video card issue.
[22:21] <rifter> I've edited xorg.conf files before, but if there are no modes in there at all, what can I do?
[22:21] <andycc> rifter: no xorg.conf in Lucid.
[22:21] <jrib> rifter: if you want to get my attention, use my nick.  And please stop using the enter key as punctuation; keep your responses on a single line.  You want to configure resolution, so click the link on that page about resolution (it tells you the tool to make those)
[22:21] <rifter> andycc, this was on karmic but I will try lucid tonight
[22:21] <rifter> jrib, sorry I forgot to do that
[22:21] <danieldd1> Hi.
[22:22] <HTT-Bird> (the boxes also happen to be full of colorful garbage...considering that it happens right after it goes to set the sensors limits, maybe something video-related on an I2C bus somewhere decided to retaliate when probed...? sound like a good theory andycc?)
[22:22] <andycc> rifter: karmic too, I think.
[22:22] <rifter> andycc, well I saw one but yes it is basically empty because xorg just does everything automatically.  but if that does not work, you can put things in xorg.conf and it is supposed to honor that
[22:23] <Guest66415> Hi i need help to give a new start up application the power of sudo (adminstration rights) I tried doing this in visudo (%admin ALL=NOPASSWD: setpci) but there is a syntex problem or is there a beter method of doing this
[22:23] <andycc> rifter: I guess so.
[22:23] <danieldd1> I'm trying to organize my music. I've renamed all my songs so the filename is the song name. Is there any way to automatically set each song's name in the file metadata so it will be the same as his filename?
[22:23] <andycc> HTT-Bird: not a HW expert, but sounds plausible
[22:23] <jrib> Guest66415: what do you want to accomplish exactly?
[22:23] <Jordan_U> RippZzZ: Could you pastebin your /etc/default/grub and your /boot/grub/grub.cfg ?
[22:23] <rifter> jrib, what link about resolution.  the only thing on that page is sudo Xorg -configure and an explanation of where the xorg.conf file is
[22:24] <rifter> jrib, or all I see on it
[22:24] <RippZzZ> Jordan_U: NM, I googled and figured it out
[22:24] <Jordan_U> RippZzZ: What was the problem out of curiosity?
[22:24] <jrib> rifter: the one that says "Display resolution configuration": https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[22:24] <RippZzZ> The default OS it was loading was Memtest...and I think the timeout was like 3 seconds
[22:24] <cj_> I should probally also scan for viruses on an account other than the root ....
[22:25] <rifter> jrib, this is the problem.  I'm in a situation where I am not at the computer but will be tonight.  it's not my computer.  I was trying to fix it last night
[22:25] <jrib> danieldd1: I guess you can grab your favorite scripting language and do it.  Maybe try easytag
[22:25] <ePirat> btw, i solved the graphic problem
[22:25] <RippZzZ> I wasn't watching carefully as Grub loaded
[22:25] <RippZzZ> so it went to Memtest after the 3 seconds
[22:25] <rifter> jrib, by the way for some reason booting from the cd was no joy either.  it rsulted in an undisplayable resolution, even in "safe video mode"
[22:26] <alven> please I need some help on how do I create a dual boot as I installed xp under ubunu V.9.04 using virtualbox
[22:26] <Guest66415> jrib I got a program called brightung it alowes me to change the brightness of my net book because my samsung n150 brightness keys dont work. this prgram needs to start up on star up with sudo rights
[22:26] <rifter> jrib, okay I still don't see that link on that page but I will look at that link
[22:26] <danieldd1> jrib: I'm a PHP programmer, so I thought about doing it - Only problem I can't find any information on how to change (or even read) the song's name... Can you point me to the right term I should use?
[22:26] <rifter> jrib, oh yes that page
[22:26] <rifter> jrib, imagine my horror when I found out that xrandr needs x to work to work
[22:27] <jrib> danieldd1: there's the mutagen library for python, there are probably tons of these things
[22:27] <jrib> rifter: that's not the only method there...
[22:27] <earthling_> Is there a gui for laptop-mode-tools ?  and is it ok to install it on a desktop computer?
[22:27] <rifter> jrib, I tried everything on that page but since xrandr just said it couldn't talk to an x server that was no joy
[22:27] <culseg> any ideas on my issue in this: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/126581

[22:28] <noobster987> can somebody pls explain the difference between "mount -t proc proc /mnt/linux/proc" und "mount --bind /proc /mnt/linux/proc"?
[22:28] <danieldd1> jrib: Or even to the unix terminal function I can use in order to change the audio information of a file?
[22:29] <jrib> rifter: if you take the time to read the page carefully you will be able to configure your resolution
[22:29] <alven> please I need some help on how do I create a dual boot as I installed xp under ubunu V.9.04 using virtualbox
[22:29] <rifter> jrib, okay I am confued.  it clearly says to put  things like "Modeline        "1280x1024_60.00"  108.88  1280 1360 1496 1712  1024 1025 1028 1060  -HSync +Vsync" in the file
[22:29] <jrib> danieldd1: maybe try #bash.  If you know python, use a python library
[22:29] <jrib> Guest66415: what was your line in sudoers again?
[22:29] <rifter> jrib, and since i can't get the information I need for that from the xorg log, or xrandr, I need something else
[22:29] <jrib> rifter: and?
[22:29] <rifter> jrib, something that lets me just say "I want 1024x768 60hz please
[22:30] <Guest66415> jrib %admin ALL=NOPASSWD: setpci
[22:30] <Guest66415> jrib it gives me a syntex error tho
[22:30] <rifter> jrib, you might notice that what I pasted is called a modeline
[22:30] <rifter> jrib, n modelines, no modes, so you can't set what mode to use
[22:30] <jrib> rifter: so create the modeline.  Your browser can probably search web pages, so tell it to show you all occurences of "modeline" on that page and read those sentences
[22:31] <rifter> jrib, that is what I am asking you about because I haven't foudn anything like that in years and usually there was some command line tool that would just do that
[22:31] <th_> what is the best lightweight login manager? im now using gdm but its too slow for a netbook
[22:31] <rifter> jrib, I only came here after days of going through the internet and coming back to the machine to try different things
[22:31] <jrib> rifter: I'm not sure how I can be any clearer without just copying the page and pasting it back to you.  The page tells you the tool to use and how to use it.
[22:31] <llutz> th_: xdm, slim
[22:32] <rifter> jrib, it says to use xrandr and the xorg log.  I just t old you those do not work
[22:32] <jrib> rifter: keep reading.
[22:32] <th_> llutz, is slim fully in dev?
[22:32] <jrib> rifter: if you would just read the page carefully, you would know how to do this already
[22:32] <Guest66415> jrib The “setpci” command must be given with superuser rights. This can be done in several ways: for instance by using the command “visudo” to add the line
[22:33] <rifter> jrib, I did I swearI know it doesn't sound like that, but if I actually went into detail on what I did it would be a novel
[22:33] <danieldd1> llutz: jrib: Thanks. I now found this tags are called "id3", so I can look for PHP classes to edit them.
[22:33] <rifter> jrib, from that page, my choices are xrandr, the xorg log, or windows
[22:33] <rifter> jrib, I don't have windows
[22:33] <jrib> rifter: I think it's called cvt, I don't have the page open anymore though.  Do you see where it ttalks about that?
[22:33] <rifter> jrib, yes cvt needs xrandr to work
[22:33] <rifter> jrib, since it does not, I skipped that
[22:33] <jrib> rifter: are you sure?  What happens when you try?
[22:34] <jrib> Guest66415: one sec
[22:34] <etherealite> jrib %admin ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
[22:34] <llutz> th_: according to their berlios-site its still active
[22:34] <jrib> etherealite: he wants it just for one command
[22:34] <rifter> jrib, when I try xrandr it says it cannot talk to x.  the instructions say to use cvt to tell xrandr what to do
[22:34] <Jordan_U> Guest66415: Did you actually try running "sudo setpci"? Does it give an error or ask for a password?
[22:34] <jrib> rifter: you don't use xrandr, just cvt to get the modeline
[22:34] <cadm> Any one have an idea of why virt-install complains of missing xen on a kvm install?
[22:34] <jrib> !away > _jesse_
[22:35] <avi_> !away > avi_
[22:35] <Guest66415> Jordan_U, no i did not run it i need to give it sudo right when computer starts up
[22:36] <brontoeee> how to expand bookmarks menu when places is open?
[22:36] <Jordan_U> Guest66415: Though actually that page greatly understates the security problems with allowing setpci to be run with sudo without a password. Setpci can damage hardware if used incorrectly of malliciously.
[22:36] <_jesse_> jrib: apologies, forgot I was in this channel
[22:37] <brontoeee> or maybe make a new bookmarks pulldown on some panel?
[22:37] <Guest66415> Jordan_U, realy so what do you sugest i need this program to work
[22:37] <rifter> jrib, okay I will try that.  at least it is a bone.  Thank you for trying to help.  I don't get why ten years ago we had tools that you could just answer questions about your monitor and you'd get a working configuration, but with all our advances now we don't.  I also would have been happy if at least I could have found some kind of boot option that would force ubuntu to use a given res; maybe there is but I didn't find that either
[22:37] <MattTheComputerG> I just installed the latest ubuntu-server over an old gentoo installation, snd now the bios hangs when its gose to list the drives, it also dose the same thing when i try to enter the bios
[22:38] <jrib> rifter: I guess the problem is that they're trying to make it so you don't have to answer any questions and then when the magic doesn't work the user is lost :/
[22:38] <rifter> jrib,  Please understand my frustration is not with you, and probably it is affecting my concentration on this problem
[22:38] <jrib> rifter: no problem, sorry if I seemed frustrated at times as well as I was about to step out to buy groceries :P
[22:39] <rifter> jrib, thank you for pointing out that that took can help// it may be the magic bullet
[22:39] <Guest66415> Jordan_U, so
[22:39] <rifter> jrib, I am also bringing lynx and meercat this time
[22:39] <Jordan_U> Guest66415: I'm not sure.
[22:39] <illytacos> Hi folks, long story but I'm trying to take users and file permissions from a server running ubuntu 9.04 and put them on a different server running 10.04. I'm trying to build a test environment without having to recreate all the groups and users. Any easy way to do this?? Thanks for the amazing work and taking the time to help!! Sorry for reposting :-/ going deaf from the server on my desk :)
[22:39] <Moleboy> Guys, I'm having an issue in my terminal
[22:39] <jrib> rifter: yeah, maybe lucid will "just work" which would be nice
[22:39] <Guest66415> Jordan_U, what type of damage and why would this cause it
[22:40] <Moleboy> I cannot access anything as root...can someone help me?
[22:40] <rifter> jrib, yes and then maybe I will bite the bullet and upgrade my main to lucid
[22:40] <MattTheComputerG> I just installed the latest ubuntu-server over an old gentoo installation, snd now the bios hangs when its gose to list the drives, it also dose the same thing when i try to enter the bios
[22:40] <rifter> jrib, I was embarrassed when I couldn't make this work, but I told the person I would ask you guys and mayeb get a better answer
[22:41] <jrib> rifter: what exactly happens?  X just fails to start?
[22:41] <danieldd1> How do I restart Apache and PHP?
[22:41] <jrib> danieldd1: sudo service apache2 restart   (are you sure you actually want to restart it not just reload the config)
[22:41] <Moleboy> Can someone clarify how to access my terminal as root?
[22:41] <jrib> !root | Moleboy
[22:41] <Guest66415> jrib so do you know how i can get his to work http://www.pietrobattiston.it/brightung/
[22:42] <danieldd1> jrib:  installed the getid3 for PHP. So should I restart or reload?
[22:42] <jrib> Guest66415: I think someone asked you before about whether or not "sudo setpci" worked in a shell without asking for a password, does it?
[22:42] <illytacos> Moleboy: sudo bash is a quick way then enter the password
[22:43] <jrib> danieldd1: oh, not sure.  If it doesn't already work, try reload, then restart, and you'll find out :)
[22:43] <jrib> Moleboy: read what ubottu sent you instead of just blindly typing "sudo bash", it's not the best way
[22:43] <Delited> Hi
[22:43] <illytacos> sorry jrib
[22:44] <jrib> illytacos: yeah, "sudo -i" is better if you need a root shell
[22:44] <Moleboy> I'm just switching distros from Debian, and could not use su...so I was just confused
[22:44] <Moleboy> hehe, I appreciate the help :-)
[22:44] <illytacos> ah cool jrib thanks for the tip. I've always been doing sudo bash
[22:44] <Delited> I've installed apache2 etc with command ( apt-get install apache2 mysql-server phpmyadmin ) But it wount find phpmyadmin. itsays its not found while browsing  to localhost/phpmyadmin.. help ?
[22:44] <rifter> jrib, well it all started when I stupidly uinstalled updates to the system, which was working fine.  one of those updates was the nvidia driver, which broke on install.  I should have read the log first and seen that the module was actually just not loading, because if I had I would not have messed with the xorg conf in the way I initially did.  I purged the nvidia stuff when I noticed that, and then tried to get xorg to let me reconfi
[22:44] <rifter> gure it, but it wouldn't even when i moved all the conf files elsewhere so it wouldn't try to use any of the stuff nvidia or I had done. I should have looked at the processes, but what seems to happen now is xorg starts, then can't detect the legitemate modes for the monitor, and tries the highest widescreen resolution it can (on a non-widescreen monitor).  The monitor is chinese, and the model number is in chinese characters
[22:45] <Delited> I've installed apache2 etc with command ( apt-get install apache2 mysql-server phpmyadmin ) But it wount find phpmyadmin. itsays its not found while browsing  to localhost/phpmyadmin.. help ?
[22:45] <rifter> jrib, when I start xrandr, it says it cannot talk to the display
[22:45] <jrib> rifter: can't you just reinstall the nvidia modules?
[22:46] <danieldd1> jrib: Both of them doesn't seem to work. I guess i'll install a program which supports command-line id3 tag editing and then just call it from PHP. Thanks anyway :)
[22:46] <jrib> Guest66415: anyway just note that what you put in your sudoers allows you to run "sudo setpci" and you will not be asked for a password (as long as you are in the admin group).  I'm leaving now
[22:46] <rifter> jrib, I could, sure, but I was hoping to get generic xorg working and set the actual best resolution rather than my safe guess before installing  the nvidia stuff.  That was my worst mistake.  I took a computer that was on a widescreen monitor to this place, with a different monitor, and did not change the nvidia xconfig before updating the driver
[22:47] <Guest66415> jrib it askes for a password i need to make it not ask for one
[22:47] <rifter> jrib, that is defintely one thing I will try
[22:47] <Guest66415> jrib how do i do that
[22:47] <jrib> Guest66415: anyway just note that what you put in your sudoers allows you to run "sudo setpci" and you will not be asked for a password (as long as you are in the admin group).  I'm leaving now
[22:48] <Delited> I've installed apache2 etc with command ( apt-get install apache2 mysql-server phpmyadmin ) But it wount find phpmyadmin. itsays its not found while browsing  to localhost/phpmyadmin.. help ?
[22:48] <Guest66415> jrib but what command do i wright to make that work
[22:48] <illytacos> Delited: another way I've done sudo apt-get install lamp^ very fast way to get LAMP up and running
[22:48] <jrib> Guest66415:  %admin ALL=NOPASSWD: setpci     in /etc/sudoers is correct.  Use "visudo" to edit /etc/sudoers
[22:48] <Guest66415> jrib i do that then it says danger
[22:49] <jrib> Guest66415: "it says danger" is too vague
[22:49] <Guest66415> jrib >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 30 <<<
[22:49] <jrib> Guest66415: pastebin your /etc/sudoers
[22:49] <pudgypaw> $ /etc/init.d/apache2 restart 	//Restart Apache
[22:50] <illytacos> Delited: try in synaptic search for phpmyadmin it should be there
[22:50] <rifter> jrib, plus the thing is that the module not loading is an indication the installation did not work right, and when the installation on nvidia drivers goes bad, the uninstallation breaks too in my experience.  I've been in situations where the upgrade broke and then all I could do is either figure out how to manually remove it (because the reaosn it broke was the ubuntu uninstall didn't happen right but then it installed something new o
[22:50] <rifter> n top, which apparently confuses the nvidia uninstall scripts too) or reinstall ... at least that is what it seemed.  there might have been a better way, but not knowing it if I whack at something long enough with no joy the big guns become more palatable
[22:50] <Guest66415> jrib k give me a sec
[22:50] <pudgypaw> wait are you sure only phpmyadmin isn't parsing?
[22:50] <Delited> illytacos,  it coulndt find lamp with apt-get
[22:50] <pudgypaw> i'm running into the problem this week: NO php is parsing for me
[22:50] <illytacos> Delited: you need the ^ at the end of it
[22:51] <jrib> !lamp > pudgypaw
[22:51] <pudgypaw> and i had a solid setup for the past 6 months
[22:51] <jrib> pudgypaw: that page gives you troubleshooting steps for your issue
[22:51] <Delited> illytacos, I have
[22:51] <Delited> no result
[22:51] <carandraug> Delited, you use tasksel to install lamp, not apt-get
[22:51] <carandraug> Delited, sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[22:51] <Delited> ok
[22:52] <litropy> Hi, peeps. i installed KDE at one point so I could check out kdm. I then switched back to gnome. I like KDE-based apps such as yakuake, but I wonder if other processes such as knotify klauncher kglobalaccelkdeinit4 should be running. I also get a Kubuntu splash upon shutdown. Is there a way to further remove kde, but still leave yakuake and other programs I like?
[22:52] <litropy> \
[22:52] <illytacos> weird I've done it that way in the past... like literally a few minutes ago on the server that is making me go deaf. speaking of which I need help too
[22:52] <pudgypaw> jrib: thanks, but I've done LAMP, apache+php, nginx+fastcgi, etc
[22:52] <jrib> pudgypaw: that page gives you troubleshooting steps for your issue
[22:52] <illytacos> Hi folks, long story but I'm trying to take users and file permissions from a server running ubuntu 9.04 and put them on a different server running 10.04. I'm trying to build a test environment without having to recreate all the groups and users. Any easy way to do this?? Thanks for the amazing work and taking the time to help!! Sorry for reposting :-/ going deaf from the server on my desk :)
[22:52] <pudgypaw> i've done tons of builds but things are suddenly breaking
[22:52] <Guest66415> jrib http://pastebin.com/78LjnKtp
[22:53] <llutz> Guest66415: add a newline at the end of the sudoers-file
[22:53] <jrib> Guest66415: give the full path for setpci
[22:54] <Infoverload> Hi
[22:54] <Guest66415> jrib whats the full path
[22:54]  * illytacos cries
[22:54] <jrib> Guest66415: « which setpci » will tell you
[22:54] <pudgypaw> has anyone tried a fresh build today and got php to parse?
[22:55] <Guest66415> /usr/bin/setpci
[22:55] <Guest66415> jrib /usr/bin/setpci
[22:55] <pudgypaw> i'm talking LAMP stack but also understand APache/php or nginx_php/fastcgi
[22:55] <jrib> Guest66415: yes, use that as the command instead of "setpci"
[22:55] <AndrewMC> illytacos: Try #ubuntu-server
[22:55] <rifter> jrib, I was really puzzled when the boot disk also provided an undreadable resolution.   have used ubuntu from cd on that monitor before, just on a different computer, and it worked fine
[22:56] <jrib> pudgypaw: did you try the troubleshooting steps on the page ubottu linked you to already?
[22:56] <jrib> rifter: weird
[22:56] <pudgypaw> yes
[22:56] <Jordan_U> jrib: It looks like the script just needs to run two commands, 'sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B' and 'sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=%x' where %x is an integer. I think that an entry can be made that will only allow setpci to be run with that set of commands which would be more secure, but don't know the syntax off the top of my head.
[22:56] <hmw> i am trying to make a web page play a sound in firefox (a chat, "beep" if my name is mentioned) - please help me out, what should I search the web for?
[22:56] <illytacos> AndrewMC: thanks! I'll give it a whirl.
[22:56] <Guest66415> jrib ok i think it worked THanks so much ill have to test it now
[22:56] <rifter> jrib, yeah so I am bringing over a different monitor, too, which is exactly like the one I am using now so it will definitely work
[22:56] <Guest66415> jrib is it dangerous what i did
[22:56] <jrib> Guest66415: see what Jordan_U said.  I'm not sure of the syntax either Jordan_U
[22:56] <pudgypaw> also, did 50+ builds this week alone trying to solve the issue, it seems centered around PHP repo and it only started breaking this week, suspecting repo sys
[22:57] <jrib> rifter: good idea
[22:57] <jrib> pudgypaw: "php repo"?
[22:57] <Guest66415> jrib well hopefuly its not because this isnt my computer its a friends
[22:57] <pudgypaw> php repositories
[22:57] <Guest66415> jrib im gona test it now
[22:57] <jrib> Guest66415: well the issue is a setpci command won't prompt for a password anymore for users in the admin group
[22:57] <pudgypaw> i mean what you get when you "sudo apt-get install php5, etc"
[22:58] <jrib> pudgypaw: php works fine for me on lucid.  I've never encountered a scenario where the troubleshooting steps didn't uncover the problem
[22:59] <pudgypaw> jrib: php worked fine for me too up till last week.. i could run through everything.. again
[23:00] <pudgypaw> tried apache+php, LAMP, nginx+php/fastcgi, on EC2-AMI, virtualbox, Slicehost, dedicated hosting, etc
[23:00] <jrib> pudgypaw: find the common denominator I guess
[23:01] <pudgypaw> jrib: after 5 days of different combos I'm pegging it at the php repo, but doubing myself too lol
[23:01] <curtis> jrib It worked Thanks
[23:01] <Infoverload> does anyone here use bitlbee? I found it through Synaptic Package Manager, installed it, and now I don't see it anywhere...
[23:01] <jrib> pudgypaw: well if that was the case, there would be a pretty popular bug open I imagine
[23:02] <blakkheim> Infoverload: whereis bitlbee
[23:02] <pudgypaw> jrib: exactly, should have blown wide open by now if it was the case
[23:02] <blakkheim> Infoverload: probably in /usr/bin
[23:02] <allie> love the ubuntu community! always get the best of help !see you next time!
[23:02] <windowshasyou> pudgypaw: Thats what happens when you use a distro that insists on modifying the source to the point where its no longer recognizable
[23:02] <slooksterpsv> bitlbee?
[23:03] <pudgypaw> windowshasyou: well, i didn't get into this until 4 months ago.. was a bio major
[23:03] <slooksterpsv> Infoverload: you can find it via terminal by typing locate bitlbee
[23:03] <pudgypaw> ubuntu was my natural entry point for linuxworld
[23:04] <slooksterpsv> Infoverload - it's in /usr/sbin
[23:04] <pudgypaw> time to shove all my configs on fresh builds again x.x
[23:05] <MattTheComputerG> can somebody help me with my server rpboblems
[23:06] <MattTheComputerG> :(
[23:06] <Infoverload> slooksterpsv: thanks!
[23:06] <earthling_> Is there a gui for laptop-mode-tools ?  and is it ok to install it on a desktop computer?

[23:07] <gerzel> Q: I downloaded 10.10beta last night and attempted to install it today.  During the boot process it landed in a busybox console and seemed to be complaining that it was unable to mount something called loop4.  Sorry but I didn't write down the exact wording and have forgotten.  Are there any known issues/workaround with the 10.10b amd64 cd I should know about?
[23:08] <AndrewMC> MattTheComputerG: Try in #ubuntu-server
[23:08] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> Is the new Ubuntu 10.10 Beta good? Watching a video on it..
[23:08] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> Should I get Ubuntu 10.10 Beta or wait till the full version?
[23:09] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> I got 10.5.4 or w\e now
[23:09] <halvors> I updated my Ubuntu 10.10 beta today, but then Skype stopped work
[23:09] <halvors> I have tested it on 4 computers.
[23:09] <halvors> And Skype doesn't work.
[23:09] <linxeh> DOOOOOOOOOOOD: are you a developer ?
[23:09] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> How do you update and keep everything?
[23:09] <gerzel> DOOOOOOOOOOD: I do not know if it is any good.  I have yet to get it installed.  If you are unsure and you need your computer to be reliable use the stable version.
[23:10] <linxeh> DOOOOOOOOOOOD: use 10.04. update when it comes out - the update manager will do it for you.
[23:10] <Jordan_U> gerzel: #ubuntu+1 for 10.10
[23:10] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> Ok, thnx Linxeh
[23:10] <Protomole> hey, can I get some help installing a file? I'm new to linux, have my video drivers and everything installed, and am trying to install vendetta online...
[23:11] <Protomole> I have the .sh, but I'm unclear how to run it
[23:11] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> I can
[23:11] <gerzel> DOOOOOOOD: The beta is for developers and those like me who have a back-up system and just want to play around with it out of curiosity(aka guineepigs)
[23:11] <gerzel> #ubuntu+1
[23:11] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> gerzel: could I mess with it in Virtual Box
[23:11] <Protomole> I followed the instructions on the website, to no avail
[23:11] <gerzel> DOOOOOOD: Yes you certainly could do that if you were so inclined.
[23:12] <Protomole> DOOOOOOOOOOOD: May I inquire what to do? @.@
[23:12] <plovs> DOOOOOOOOOOOD: sure using it in Vbox is a great way to test
[23:12] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> Ok, thanks everyone! I'm gonna go try it now and chat while I examine it :D
[23:12] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> I love Xchat, a friendly environment that's..
[23:13] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> .that's helpfull
[23:13] <Protomole> Someone?
[23:13] <AndChat> Jhh
[23:13] <unperson> I'm having some display problems and hoping someone can point me in the right direction for troubleshooting.  If I login and then select switch users it simply takes me to a black screen with nothing but the mouse pointer.  From there I can switch to other virtual consoles, and if I hit Ctrl+Alt+F7 I get the prompt as though I'd locked the screen.  However, there seems to be no way to actually switch to another user's desktop.
[23:13] <datacrusher> hello, im reinstalling ubuntu on my notebook, but besides the windows partition, i got a 10gb / folder, is it too shallow?
[23:13] <deryl> dependso n what you intall
[23:13] <unperson> The machine is running an up-to-date copy of lucid, lspci reports the video chipset as Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500], and lsmod seems to show the "radeon" driver in use.
[23:13] <deryl> err depends on what you install (damn typos)
[23:14] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> I love Ubuntu
[23:14] <Protomole> Someone, please?
[23:14] <Protomole> ugh, nevermind, I gotta go
[23:14] <deryl> unperson ~ install the fglrx kernel module
[23:14] <deryl> apt-cache search fglrx
[23:14] <unperson> deryl, It looks as though my chipset is not supported.
[23:14] <RichiH> Protomole: chmod +x foo.sh
[23:14] <deryl> and change the Driver "radeon" line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to Driver "fglrx" and restart
[23:14] <RichiH> ./foo.sh
[23:14] <deryl> hrmm i was sure it was
[23:14] <RichiH> Protomole: also, asking all the time is considered rude
[23:15] <Protomole> I'm sorry, but I felt a tad ignored, adn like my message was going by the wasteside
[23:15] <unperson> deryl, I don't the proprietary driver as an option if I go through the hardware drivers dialog.
[23:15] <deryl> well never hurts to try it anyways :shrug:
[23:16] <unperson> deryl, I'm not sure I ever found iron-clad word one way or another.  (All my previous experience is with Nvidia, where this is pretty straightforward)
[23:16] <RichiH> Protomole: irc can be overwhelming, at first ;)
[23:16] <slooksterpsv> unperson - what was the issue? unable to install graphics on...
[23:16] <RichiH> but people see & answer, most of the time
[23:16] <deryl> unperson ~ ahh never used an nvidia
[23:16] <Protomole> Hehe, except I've been on IRC for  years <.<
[23:16] <deryl> ati or voodoos
[23:16] <Protomole> Usually chat channels though, rarely Support :-)
[23:16] <unperson> deryl, Suffice it to say, I did try it and it was still exhibiting similar but slightly different pathological behavior.
[23:16] <csmith1994> hey guys, how can I insert alt codes in writer, and are they the same numbers as they are on windows
[23:16] <deryl> unperson ~ got ya
[23:17] <loculinux> alguna minita
[23:17] <RichiH> in that case, you know how annoying it can be if a few people keep on spamming the same thing ;)
[23:17] <unperson> slooksterpsv, If I try to switch users I just get a black screen with a mouse cursor.
[23:17] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> Pinguy OS is sick
[23:17] <unperson> slooksterpsv, From there I can still switch to other VCs.  And if I hit Ctrl+Alt+F7 I get back the prompt as though I'd locked the screen.
[23:18] <slooksterpsv> unperson - so have you installed the proprietary drivers yet?
[23:18] <unperson> slooksterpsv, But there appears to be no way to actually switch to another user.
[23:18] <slooksterpsv> unperson - ok; and you said the drivers weren't installed correct?
[23:18] <unperson> slooksterpsv, As I said, I tried to but got slightly different but similar pathological behavior.
[23:18] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> Is there any way I can install an os on a usb and install it to my computer via usb? I'm sick of waisting CD's lol
[23:18] <slooksterpsv> unperson - open a terminal and see if the command aticonfig works
[23:19] <unperson> slooksterpsv, Also, it appeared to me that my chipset was not supported by the proprietary driver.
[23:19] <unperson> slooksterpsv, Okay, one sec.
[23:19] <eross> wow i guess my mouse freeze issue is so common they deleted my post in ubuntu forums
[23:19] <csmith1994> I need this for french homework guys so also if you know the coodes for accent aigu accent greve circonflex and cedile that would be great
[23:20] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> eross: What's goin on?
[23:20] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> eross: with your mouse
[23:20] <yossman> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1554604&page=2 i just added it to the end of this thread
[23:20] <csmith1994> eross do you have a netbook
[23:20] <yossman> re: toshiba satellite C650D problems
[23:20] <unperson> slooksterpsv, There doesn't appear to be any aticonfig command available.
[23:20] <eross> no desktop latest ubuntu
[23:20] <yossman> got it all working
[23:20] <slooksterpsv> unperson - ok, that's alright, is this a desktop or mobile computer?
[23:20] <csmith1994> eross look at your function keys is there anything that looks like a mouse
[23:20] <eross> running awn/compiz  in blender or 3d game, if i hit middle mouse button and another button, it kills my mouse and i have to reboot.
[23:21] <unperson> slooksterpsv, Desktop.  As I said before, lspci shows the chipset in question is Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500]
[23:21] <unperson> slooksterpsv, I don't know ATI cards, but I assume that's a pretty old one.
[23:21] <slooksterpsv> unperson - sorry i was away when all that was typed
[23:21] <slooksterpsv> unperson - it is I had one about 6-7 years ago
[23:21] <unperson> slooksterpsv, Right, no problem.  Always appreciative of help.
[23:22] <eross> using logitech wireless optical, has more buttons than 3-key mouse otherwise would fall back to wired one
[23:22] <eross> mouse doesn't die totally, i can move the middle scroll wheel side to side - btw i meant i hit the middle mouse scroll wheel as a button
[23:23] <eross> one solution was to remove irqbalance but didn't seem to be end-all
[23:23] <slooksterpsv> unperson - have you went through: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver - to try and resolve the issue? it uses the mesa driver instead of fglrx
[23:24] <halvors> I want to run this executable.
[23:24] <halvors> using this command
[23:24] <andycc> halvors: chmod +x it.
[23:24] <halvors> java -jar minecraft.jar nogui.
[23:24] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> I sure wish Wine would work better lol
[23:24] <dotaniti1> Hello to all :)
[23:25] <halvors> But i have to startup automaticly.
[23:25] <eross> get ready DOOOOOOOOD, DX10/11 have made it into the gallium 3d drivers, whatever that means
[23:25] <halvors> How start the server in the folder /home/myuser/minecraft?
[23:25] <andycc> eross: that means Linux is going to pwn Windows on its own terrain.
[23:25] <halvors> i add this line in rc.local.
[23:26] <agentgasmask> halvors: You could try adding it to /etc/rc.local
[23:26] <unperson> slooksterpsv, I did look at the info on chipsets there at one point.  I haven't gone through the troubleshooting.  I guess I can give that a shot.
[23:26] <dotaniti1> did one of you played with the montage app?
[23:26] <halvors> java -jar /home/myuser/minecraft.jar nogui
[23:26] <halvors> But then all output files where saved in /home/myuser not /home/myuser/minecraft...
[23:26] <agentgasmask> halvors: that is if you want to have it start on boot
[23:27] <slooksterpsv> unperson - more of uninstall fglrx and reinstall the mesa drivers
[23:27] <halvors> But how get started it from /home/myuser/minecraft using the rc.local file?
[23:27] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> brb
[23:27] <slooksterpsv> unperson - start at the section titled Removing the proprietary FLGRX Driver
[23:28] <unperson> slooksterpsv, Yup, on it.  Thanks.  We'll see if it's useful.
[23:28] <agentgasmask> halvors: oh, sorry, after re-reading your posts, I don't think the rc.local file will help.
[23:28] <jiffe> anyone know a good way to troubleshoot pure-ftpd?  I have it setup to use pam_ldap which is returning 0 according to the logs (success), but it still says auth fails
[23:28] <slooksterpsv> unperson - let me know =D
[23:29] <jiffe> enabling verbose only shows the commands sent over the wire, nothing under the hood
[23:29] <halvors> agentgasmask: How can i do it then?
[23:29] <dotaniti1> is there a way to send montage list of images written in a file?
[23:29] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> Linux pwns!
[23:30] <agentgasmask> halvors: hmmm, I'm googling now... I'll let you know if I find anything.
[23:31] <bazhang> !ot | DOOOOOOOOOOOD
[23:31] <agentgasmask> halvors: are you trying to run the client or the server?
[23:32] <halvors> Server.
[23:32] <eross> what is irqbalance for, can i remove it?
[23:32] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> AAAAAAAAAH! I'm outa wheat thins- my life is officaly over!
[23:32] <halvors> From command line mode.
[23:32] <agentgasmask> halvors: ok, still looking.
[23:32] <bazhang> DOOOOOOOOOOOD, please stay on topic
[23:32] <halvors> agentgasmask: Thanks :)
[23:32] <slook> hi
[23:33] <slook> I'm mobile so I can continue to try and help
[23:33] <mmoebius> My Nvidia-196 driver for Xorg cannot load its glx module (the Xorg glx module is loaded instead) How can I fix that  ?
[23:33] <mmoebius> It's a Xubuntu 10.04
[23:34] <slooksterpsv> nvm that didn't work :(
[23:34] <slooksterpsv> unperson - how's that coming along so far?
[23:35] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> bazhang: sorry, I wil
[23:35] <unperson> slooksterpsv, Ran through those instructions and restarted the machine.  The behavior seems basically the same, although not rather than being a blank screen on user switching it has a line through it (some garbled video output I guess).
[23:36] <slooksterpsv> unperson - ouch.. hmmm well there is a recommended configuration for your xorg file down below, let's go through that now
[23:37] <agentgasmask> halvors: I found the irc channel for minecraft: irc server: irc.esper.net  - Channel: #MineCraftHelp
[23:37] <halvors> Yes...
[23:37] <unperson> slooksterpsv, Okay, I'll take a look.  I assume you're thinking of the section on the "customized" Xorg.conf
[23:37] <agentgasmask> I'll be happy to see you over there, and perhaps we can figure this out with the help of the guys over there.
[23:37] <halvors> agentgasmask: But do you got an solotion?
[23:37] <slooksterpsv> unperson - yeah, otherwise you can try and delete the xorg.conf file and have it generate a new one (not recommended)
[23:38] <unperson> slooksterpsv, The current Xorg.conf is extremely generic.
[23:38] <agentgasmask> halvors: I'm not a wiz at java, but I can hack around.
[23:38] <mmoebius> Better question: How Do i select between Xorg GLX/Opengl and Nvidia proprietary GLX/Opengl in ubuntu ?
[23:38] <unperson> slooksterpsv, Certainly autogenerated at some point.
[23:39] <slooksterpsv> unperson - lets try to configure with the custom configuration, I had to do that with 6.06 to get 3d acceleration/composition
[23:40] <slooksterpsv> unperson - DRI and Composition for sure do that part
[23:40] <unperson> slooksterpsv, I don't know if it's relevant, but when I did 'glxinfo | grep vendor' I get "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig"
[23:40] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> Virtual Box is REALLY laggy
[23:40] <halvors> agentgasmask: Ok, so there is impossible to run it in the /home/myuser/minecraft directory?
[23:41] <DOOOOOOOOOOOD> My Machine won't load
[23:41] <unperson> slooksterpsv, Okay, I'll give it a shot.
[23:42] <unperson> slooksterpsv, Should I do this by hand or via dpkg-reconfigure (if that's still possible).
[23:43] <linus52> Is there anyone here I can bounce issues with pam vs openldap ?
[23:43] <slooksterpsv> unperson - by hand first, we can always use dpkg-reconfigure later if we mess things up
[23:43] <halvors> agentgasmask: ???
[23:45] <Daniel1> halvors: agent? what agent?!
[23:45] <agentgasmask> halvors: sorry, my irc clent crashed. I'm in the minecraft help channel if you want to give it a go over there. If not, I'm sure someone else on here will be able to help you
[23:45] <halvors> Ok.
[23:45] <unperson> slooksterpsv, Alright, I'm busily trying to construct it.  I'll bug you if I run into trouble.
[23:45] <multipass> hey, is there any apt-get for LAMP localhost server?
[23:46] <Daniel1> what kind of hex editor can i use?
[23:46] <slooksterpsv> unperson - ok, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf - may ease the editing
[23:47] <unperson> slooksterpsv, Heh, well I'm doing it in nano in a terminal.  :-)
[23:48] <slooksterpsv> unperson - I love nano/pico my fave editor =D
[23:48] <Daniel1> how can i access to the X terminal?
[23:48] <slooksterpsv> Daniel1 - X terminal like xterm?
[23:48] <Daniel1> Yeah
[23:48] <slooksterpsv> Daniel1 - Press ALT+F2 and type in xterm into the box and choose run
[23:49] <Daniel1> oh thanks
[23:49] <slooksterpsv> Daniel1 - yw I like gnome-terminal personally
[23:49] <Daniel1> sure
[23:50] <Daniel1> nano editor? Right
[23:51] <slooksterpsv> Daniel1 - yup nano or pico
[23:52] <slooksterpsv> Daniel1 - the best GUI, in my opinion, is Gnome in reference to Windows Managers
[23:53] <slooksterpsv> Daniel1 - GUI designer depends on what kind of GUI you want, GTK, wxWidgets, QT, etc.
[23:53] <kneaux> so...i'm trying to get an x with circumflex.
[23:54] <kneaux> the unicode website says both that i can do it with <U+0058, U+0302> (specific example, even) and that Doulos SIL will support it. one or both of these things appears to be false. any suggestions?
[23:54] <slooksterpsv> Daniel1 - Glade for GTK and wx (personally) QT, someone would know better
[23:55] <Daniel1> right
[23:56] <slooksterpsv> unperson how's it going lol
[23:58] <Daniel1> how can i speed up my internet connection?
[23:59] <unperson> slooksterpsv, Well, I wrote the new Xorg.conf.  I included basically everything from that section except the "virtual" line.
[23:59] <slooksterpsv> unperson - good lol, I gotta go now going out of town for a few hours
[23:59] <unperson> slooksterpsv, okay
