[00:00] <ablyss> mika_video:  assuming I upgrade that would be fine.
[00:01] <unop> scyx, if you're still looking for an answer to your question -- have a look at the !clone factoid, the first part looks like an answer to your question.
[00:01] <ablyss> mika_video: I use opera daily but use firefox for web development.  I've downgrade to firefox 2 and have sufficed the problem there
[00:02] <mordof> ok... i'm in a considerable amount of trouble, heh.. i just downloaded and installed the fglrx package using synaptic.. did nothing, so i restarted to see if it would take effect - now when i go to boot up, i get a screen of very messed up black and white blocks.. flashes four times. recovery mode attempt to fix graphic problems didn't fix this
[00:02] <mordof> is anyone able to help me out.  i'm on my laptop currently
[00:02] <hacktop_> When I boot I do not see the normal loading screen but I see a verbose kind of thing
[00:02] <ablyss> though I tried to run FF 3.5 straight from the download directory, ( not from ubuntu repo ) and says missing need libs
[00:02] <hacktop_> how do I make it run in normal boot screen?
[00:02] <scyx> unop: yeah, but that still lists dependencies, which would mean i'd have to work through a list of 1000+ packages to find those i specifically installed
[00:03] <ianm_> mordof: you could maybe try a:   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[00:03] <Shinedown> Is there something i can do if my pc don't want to detect my mp3-player when i plug in th eusb cable? I tried to search in google but didn't found a solution.
[00:03] <mordof> ianm_: on it
[00:04] <unop> scyx, yea, i know - but that's probably is as close as it gets even though the query is explicit in saying "list all packages that were not installed automatically"
[00:04] <mordof> ok.. well that did nothing
[00:05] <blueglasses> Shinedown, does your mp3 player have a card?
[00:05] <unop> scyx, if your synaptic log lists the packages as you like, you could find out where this log file lies and use that ?
[00:05] <hacktop_> let me ask a different question, before the Startup applications kick in, in what file can I find the applications that start up for all users?
[00:05] <blueglasses> Shinedown, try using the card on a card reader to see if its recognized
[00:06] <joeb> Enabling a (Broadcom STA) driver in Karmic causes visual effects to be turned off. Has anyone seen this problem before?
[00:06] <Pici> joeb : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[00:06] <joeb> Thank you.
[00:06] <mordof> k so my graphics problem stil exists
[00:06] <Shinedown> if somebody knows something please hit me with a personal message. I can't follow the chat-thing. Thanks
[00:07] <Wicked> how can i make it so when i plug in a new monitor it just shows up? right now i have a monitor and a projector that i switch cables with on occasion...but i always have to restart xorg or reboot for ubuntu to detect the 2nd monitor
[00:07] <mordof> that reconfigure thing didn't help
[00:10] <jabagawee> issue: theme is not applying to the menubars unless i go to the appearance applet, when it suddenly applies instantly. happens everytime i boot, using gnome. how can i fix it?
[00:10] <ablyss> Wicked:  perhaps a kvm switch
[00:10] <Wicked> :(
[00:10] <gbear14275> does the ubuntu server live cd allow you to setup lvm or do I have to use the alternate install cd for that?
[00:10] <mordof> Wicked: shouldn't be necessary.. there's got to be a way to have it, even if you have to make a script
[00:11] <ablyss> Wicked: techinically speaking you can short circuit your pc if you manually plugging and unplugging the monitor
[00:11] <Wicked> hmm..never heard that happen before
[00:11] <mordof> ok, so i just attempted to use xorg.conf.failsafe... and it's still not solving my problem
[00:11] <ablyss> hence the invention of kvm switches
[00:12] <Wicked> but..i have a projector i watch tv and movies on...but i also have two monitors....so i need to be able to swap the cable for the secondary monitor....
[00:12] <mordof> screen flashing 4 times after the ubuntu load up, and no lgin
[00:12] <mordof> login*
[00:12] <jabagawee> oh, also, my screensaver aint activating when i activate it via keyboard or "gnome-screensaver" in terminal
[00:12] <mordof> all blocks black and white
[00:12] <gbear14275> ablyss: don't think thats been a problem for a while now.  Almost all modern electronics protect against that sort of thing.  Older electronics were more prone to ESD and those sorts of problems
[00:12] <zerocool> hi all
[00:13] <ablyss> gbear14275: oh.. that's true
[00:13] <hanshenrik> i need to change my IP to <IP_ADDRESS>, how do i do that?
[00:14] <Antaranian> Հելլօ
[00:14] <Antaranian> err..
[00:14]  * ablyss blows the cob webs off his desk... been living in the dark ages
[00:14] <Antaranian> hello
[00:14] <bigpresh> hanshenrik: you'd edit /etc/network/interfaces appropriately
[00:14] <mordof> yeah i'm in trouble...
[00:14] <mordof> lol
[00:14] <alessandro_> hello boy
[00:14] <[fade]> bigpresh hi
[00:14] <dubz> hi there all
[00:14] <alessandro_> my name is alessandro
[00:14] <stylist> i just connectd my ubuntu laptop to the internet via bluetooth via my mobile phone
[00:14] <bigpresh> hanshenrik: That's an internal-only address which can't be routed on the Internet though, in case you're not aware
[00:14] <bigpresh> [fade]: Heh, hiya :)
[00:14] <[fade]> alessandro_  just ask
[00:14] <Antaranian> alessandro_:  /nick alessandro :)
[00:15] <zerocool> I use ubuntu 9.04 x86
[00:15] <zerocool>
[00:15] <zerocool> I need urgent help for configuration my wireless card ( Broadcom 4328 802.11a/b/g/n) of my laptop hp tx2-1020 amd x86, I've been trying many months settings this.
[00:15] <zerocool> I was trying with ndiswrapper and driver bcmwl5 but not served.
[00:15] <zerocool> I hope their collaboration
[00:15] <FloodBot3> zerocool: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:15] <hanshenrik> bigpresh: thanks, and yup, im aware ^^ (my Stupid dad wont put on DHCP and he has only set port-forwards on that adress >.<)
[00:15] <hanshenrik> (and he wont give me router pass)
[00:15] <bigpresh> hanshenrik: LOL :)
[00:15] <zerocool> plz can you help me?
[00:15] <stylist> hans
[00:15] <stylist> bigpresh
[00:15] <stylist> i can elp
[00:15] <[fade]> hanshenrik reset router to factory setting
[00:15] <hanshenrik> bigpresh: wups, i mean he wont put on UPnP*
[00:16] <[fade]> and set your own pass and dhcp :)
[00:16] <zerocool> yeah?
[00:16] <stylist> yeah
[00:16] <blenderpc> Hello all
[00:16] <bigpresh> stylist: Yes?
[00:16] <blenderpc> I need help and I am hoping this is the place to get it.
[00:16] <scyx> unop: thought about using the synaptic logs aswell, but i guess that will be quite a hassle so sort through and check which packages have been uninstalled again =/
[00:16] <[fade]> blenderpc just ask
[00:16] <bigpresh> stylist: You're saying you'll help hanshenrik yes?
[00:16] <jabagawee> zerocool, look into the sla driver from broadcom
[00:17] <jabagawee> make that sta, http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
[00:17] <zerocool> I need help for configuration of my wireless card
[00:17] <mordof> having big time graphics problems.. i need assistance resetting my graphics - i installed fglrx using synatpic and then restarted, now my screen goes black and blocky and nothing responds, no user login - flashes 4 times and then halts.  i can't do anything, i can only go in recovery, xfix doesn't help
[00:17] <jabagawee> afaik, that's the only way the bcm4328 is working right now
[00:17] <zerocool> is a broadcom 4338
[00:17] <blenderpc> I recently plugged my laptop (newly ubuntued) into my LCD flat screen tv.  Now that I have disconnected it the display is messed up and I have these black bars on teh side of my screen
[00:17] <zerocool> bcm4328
[00:17] <unop> scyx, well, it's not really a problem if you know some awk or perl -- ask in #awk perhaps?
[00:17] <[fade]> mordof run X -configure
[00:17] <jabagawee> mordof, i can only get my ati to work with the fglrx directly downloaded from ati.amd.com
[00:17] <[fade]> from C
[00:17] <[fade]> konsole
[00:18] <jabagawee> zerocool, exactly the card i was talking about
[00:18] <bigpresh> blenderpc: Solid black bars, or blackish bars that are semi-transparent?
[00:18] <Antaranian> I want to be able to mount UDF filesystem , for example read CD's written with vista, I've installed some libs via synaptic , but nothing helps, In forums I can't find a complete solution for this issue
[00:18] <gbear14275> anyone got any insight on setting up lvm during installation?
[00:18] <zerocool> some tutorial ?
[00:18] <blenderpc> solid black
[00:18] <mordof> [fade]: 'Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices. Configuration failed.'
[00:18] <blenderpc> It's similar to letter boxing on a movie
[00:18] <bigpresh> blenderpc: You should be able to get it back to normal by pressing some kind of mode button on the remote to change the aspect ratio
[00:19] <zerocool> hi...
[00:19] <[fade]> mordof then remove xorg file by this command sudo  rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:19] <bigpresh> blenderpc: Look for a button with a square with arrows either side, I believe that's the common symbol used
[00:19] <[fade]> run X -configure again
[00:19] <[fade]> it should create a new one
[00:19] <bigpresh> blenderpc: Something like <-[]->  (excuse the poor ASCII art :) )
[00:19] <blenderpc> looking...feel incredibly stupid if I just hit a button
[00:19] <Antaranian> here is a guide http://ascending.wordpress.com/2008/06/14/howto-read-vista-burnt-udf-dvds-on-ubuntu-linux/ but my kernel version is  2.6.28-15-generic so I can't follow it
[00:19] <jabagawee> zerocool, i'm googling it right now. if you would please excuse the time it's taking.
[00:19] <mordof> [fade]: nope, same thing
[00:19] <[fade]> if that wont work, try running xorgconfigure
[00:19] <Antaranian> can you point me some resources to solve this problem
[00:19] <mordof> k
[00:20] <mordof> command not found ; ;
[00:20] <zerocool> ok thx
[00:20] <absolutenoob> hi all, i have some problem using icon themes, folder icons do not load, i thought it was this bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=539286 but not. can you point me in some direction?
[00:20] <mordof> [fade]: i'm in the root bootup after recovery mode prompt.. none of those attempts worked
[00:20] <zerocool> so touch in ubuntu 9.04 for laptop hp tx2 10-20
[00:21] <[fade]> mord use this one   sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[00:21] <jabagawee> zerocool, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=896713 seems like a good tutorial
[00:21] <blenderpc> ok...the button thing didn't work.  so I would do the xorgconfigure in terminal.  Is that all?
[00:21] <jabagawee> though i would definitely also read the README.txt they have included on http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt
[00:21] <hanshenrik> my /etc/network/interfaces contains only auto lo (newline) iface lo inet loopback       - how can i change it so i have lan IP <IP_ADDRESS> ??
[00:21] <zerocool> ohh great go check thx jabagawee
[00:21] <Shinedown> Hi everyone. I've some hardware problem is here someone who could help me?
[00:22] <[fade]> just ask Shinedown
[00:22] <[fade]> mordof working?
[00:23] <Bmachine> hello room
[00:23] <mordof> [fade]: just ran through it.. going to restart now and see if it changed anything
[00:23] <[fade]> k
[00:23] <Bmachine> I just installed ubuntu for the first time and LOVE IT
[00:23] <mordof> [fade]: i'm on my laptop in here so i won't be leaving at all
[00:23] <[fade]> hanshenrik on ethernet or wireless?
[00:23] <fearful> Bmachine, glad you love it like all of us!
[00:23] <mordof> [fade]: nope... no such luck
[00:23] <hanshenrik> [fade]: wireless
[00:23] <[fade]> what it says ?
[00:23] <Shinedown> I've a mp3 player. I tried to plug it on to my pc but nothing happens. The player detect the usb  connection  but nothing happens on my desktop. I'm just using ubuntu for a couple of days so don't know what to do. I tried to find something in google but no chance for me to find a solution.
[00:24] <[fade]> hanshenrik sudo ifconfig wlan0 down | ifconfig wlan0 <IP_ADDRESS> up
[00:24] <Bmachine> i just got everything to work perfectly but one, my flash player
[00:24] <mordof> [fade]: it just flashes with big black and white blocks in the place where the login prompt should be, and then halts entirely after 4 flashes
[00:24] <Bmachine> im using UBUNTU 9.04 b4 bit
[00:24] <Gabox> hi shinedown, maybe i can help you, i'm not an expert, but i'm studying to be one, tell me your hardware problem
[00:24] <Bmachine> 64 but*
[00:24] <[fade]> mordof press ctrl+alt+backspace
[00:24] <hanshenrik> [fade]: how long will i loose internet btw? :p
[00:24] <fearful> [fade], it won't restart x in Jaunty anymore.
[00:24] <[fade]> about 30 secs if it goes normally
[00:25] <[fade]> mordof press ctrl+alt+f1 then
[00:25] <hanshenrik> [fade]: Thanks!
[00:25] <[fade]> its kubuntu right fearful ?
[00:25] <mordof> [fade]: ok, attempted ctrl+alt+f1 and nothing happened, i'll try backspace though
[00:25] <fearful> [fade], oh sorry didn't know Kubuntu but in Ubuntu restart x like that won't work.
[00:25] <Bmachine> flash player not working in firefox! Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit....
[00:26] <[fade]> Bmachine sudo apt-get install flashplayer
[00:26] <fearful> Bmachine, you have to download all those
[00:26] <Bmachine> i did
[00:26] <mordof> [fade]: nothing works.. still sitting at the black and white blocks all over the screen
[00:26] <Bmachine> even created the mozilla folder
[00:26] <Shinedown> Is there a way for personal messages? It would be a lot better for me to read then if it's possible
[00:26] <Bmachine> and added the libflashplayer.so to its plugin folder
[00:26] <[fade]> it should get you to konsole
[00:26] <[fade]> weird
[00:26] <mordof> [fade]: wondering if i attempt to remove the fglrx package entirely if it would help
[00:26] <fearful> Bmachine, open a terminal and type what [fade] said; sudo apt-get install flashplayer, or sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree
[00:27] <hanshenrik> [fade]: sorry, closed the IRC client before i could copy the lines!   could you say it again please?
[00:27] <paipimenta> anyone know how to overburn with brasero?  I've got a 743 Meg file and 700 meg cd
[00:27] <[fade]> ati card?
[00:27] <[fade]> hanshenrik sudo ifconfig wlan0 down | ifconfig wlan0 <IP_ADDRESS> up
[00:27] <Gabox> have same problem with flash on firefox 3.5, downloaded flash from adobe, put it on plugin folder and still can't play youtube
[00:27] <hanshenrik> ty
[00:27] <mordof> [fade]: yes. x1950xtx
[00:27] <fearful> paipimenta, is it RW?
[00:27] <blenderpc> would someone explain what xorgconfigure is and how I should use it?
[00:27] <Bmachine> no luck
[00:27] <[fade]> i would not know about ati drivers mordof
[00:28] <[fade]> open your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:28] <paipimenta> no, just R
[00:28] <[fade]> tell me what is listedu nder display device section
[00:28] <w30> paipimenta, why not compress your file?
[00:28] <Shinedown> I have a Archos 105 mp3 player and when i plug it in ubuntu dosn't show it to me so i can put no music on the player
[00:29] <[fade]> Shinedown
[00:29] <[fade]> open console
[00:29] <[fade]> type lsusb
[00:29] <[fade]> is it listed there?
[00:29] <mordof> [fade]:  "Device"  Identifier  "Configured Video Device"
[00:29] <paipimenta> well, it's an install image
[00:29] <fearful> Bmachine, you need to specify more detail than just no luck, what does it say when you type sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree
[00:30] <mordof> [fade]: that's all the xorg.conf has.. device, monitor, and screen - all just configured so and so for each.. nothing else
[00:30] <Bmachine> I already installed it
[00:30] <paipimenta> can I still boot from the cd if I compress it?
[00:30] <[fade]> remove the file and restart
[00:30] <[fade]> mordof
[00:30] <Bmachine> and it completed
[00:30] <[fade]> next time start in recovery mode
[00:30] <[fade]> do it now
[00:30] <Bmachine> and rebooted firefox, and nothing still
[00:30] <fearful> Bmachine, did you restart firefox?
[00:30] <blenderpc> Fade - there are three different files by that name...two have today's date and some other numbers attached
[00:31] <mordof> [fade]: k, removed - and now in the recovery mode prompt
[00:31] <w30> paipimenta, are you dealing with a .img file?
[00:31] <[fade]> mordof log in as you, type startx
[00:31] <mordof> [fade]: there's no log in for this
[00:31] <mordof> do you want me to resume normal bootup?
[00:32] <mordof> unlikely..  it only has the option to drop to root
[00:32] <[fade]> at start, you have recovery mode and normal boot right?
[00:32] <mordof> yes
[00:32] <paipimenta> .iso file.... can I just put it in the NTFS partition somehow so I can boot from it and install?
[00:32] <[fade]> long time i used recovery mode
[00:32] <[fade]> do you get a log in prompt anywhere?
[00:33] <mordof> recovery menu: resume, clean, dpkg, fsck, grub, netroot, root, xfix  - no login with any of those
[00:33] <[fade]> root ?
[00:33] <mordof> drops to root shell prompt - should i try that?
[00:33] <[fade]> yes
[00:34] <mordof> typed startx - same problem
[00:34] <revf> I've been downloading the packages for the karmic upgrade using sudo update-manager -d.  I have almost all of the packages downloaded (after four or five downloading sessions), but the update manager and the cli upgrader both stopped seeing karmic, so I can't finish.
[00:34] <[fade]> ctrl+alt+backspace wont work ?
[00:34] <revf> I think it's because the upgrader crashed once and failed to put the repositories back to normal
[00:34] <[fade]> i thought in ubuntu it s on, but in kubuntu off
[00:34] <revf> I noticed that the sources list says karmic
[00:34] <mordof> [fade]: no.. nothing responds
[00:34] <paipimenta> how do I overburn in ubuntu? I've got a pretty nice LG burner, think it supports it
[00:34] <w30> paipimenta, an iso file has the filesystem on it and if you try to burn it to a cd you will have the overhead of an iso file system twice so you should burn as image to disk
[00:34] <paipimenta> only ~745 on a 700 CD-R
[00:34] <[fade]> paipimenta buy a dvd
[00:34] <revf> is there something I can do to reset it so that it will see the karmic release again and I can finish installing?
[00:35] <optimizer> anyone have a recommendation of a good black & white laser printer that works well with ubuntu?
[00:35] <[fade]> mordof how did u got to this issue?
[00:35] <[fade]> what happened
[00:35] <paipimenta> !img
[00:35] <paipimenta> !iso
[00:36] <paipimenta> !phishing | paipimenta
[00:36] <mordof> [fade]: well.. i was playing with compiz settings, no problems with that.  some of the stuff was pretty laggy, was reading up on glxgears and it mentioned the fglrx driver.  i've been running on the basic radeon driver that came installed with 9.04
[00:36] <paipimenta> :-)
[00:36] <mordof> [fade]: so i installed the fglrx using synaptic.. bad idea -.-
[00:36] <w30> paipimenta, if you just want the files on (in) the image then you could mount the image as an iso and then copy parts to two different cds
[00:36] <[fade]> so uninstall it
[00:36] <mordof> [fade]: nothing happend at first, until i restarted.. and now this
[00:36] <[fade]> if that is the issue
[00:37] <mordof> [fade]: i don't know how - i don't know the package name
[00:37] <[fade]> let me check the name for you
[00:37] <mordof> it was something long and annoying.. lol
[00:37] <mordof> ty
[00:37]  * mordof boots back into recovery mode
[00:38] <[fade]> mordof http://pastebin.com/m5b5e3ce7
[00:39] <mordof> xorg-driver-fglrx.. plus some other stuff it installed with it
[00:39] <mordof> i forget how to remove something and all the packages it uses
[00:40] <[fade]> google should be helpfull now
[00:40] <absolutenoob> i got some problems when i try to change icon theme... in the desktop the folder icon used is the default one instead the one of Kreski Lines, anyone got it before?
[00:40] <mordof> true. ty
[00:40] <ctmjr> mordof: sudo apt-get --purge remove xorg-driver-fglrx
[00:40] <ctmjr> mordof: then read this after you reboot

[00:44] <mordof> don't ask me o.o
[00:44] <Flannel> ryuuku: Hi.  The best way to get help is to just ask your question, if someone knows the answer, they'll answer it.
[00:44] <raudy> hehe
[00:44] <[fade]> raudy just ask
[00:44] <mordof> i came here for help also, lol
[00:44] <raudy> please see it first : http://paste.ubuntu.com/288197/
[00:44] <dave1231> hey guys, i have Radeon HD3850 and i have two different screens and they are working fine, but things are very slow without the activated catalyst drivers. With these i cannot set the two monitors in the dual mode. can anyone help?
[00:45] <ryuuku> i just downloaded the ubuntu-it plug-in and its all in italian how do i direct the PI to eng.?
[00:45] <raudy> how to configure my connection to get IP automaticly
[00:45] <[fade]> raudy just plug the cable
[00:45] <raudy> i think i get error with my configuration
[00:45] <[fade]> its automatic...
[00:46] <raudy> cannt
[00:46] <[fade]> what is the ip of your router?
[00:46] <mordof> aaand back on my ubuntu box :D
[00:46] <[fade]> its trying to set it up automatic, but it fails since it gets no reply
[00:46] <[fade]> that is why it looks like this
[00:46] <raudy> fade, <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:46] <raudy> how to configure that?
[00:47] <[fade]> raudy change it to <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:47] <[fade]> would that be ok ?
[00:47] <[fade]> the routers ip that is
[00:47] <[fade]> its easier than to setup system
[00:47] <ryuuku> so im stuck being directed to the italian pages then?
[00:47] <raudy> how sintaks its?
[00:47] <Bmachine> Hey guys, thanks for your help on the flashplayer 64 bit issue
[00:47] <Bmachine> I resolved it, was something very stupid, like chmod -x on libflashplayer.so

[00:51] <dave----> raudy, are you talking about wireless issues?
[00:52] <[fade]> <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:52] <mordof> i think i'm just gonna stick with the default drivers, lol.. i just wanted them to fiddle with compiz without it being choppy the odd time but i think i can pass that up
[00:52] <raudy> no, my ethernet of course
[00:52] <dave----> i couldnt connect to any secured AP untill i pgraded to intrepid
[00:52] <dave----> raudy, ah ok
[00:52] <ryuuku> well this is a swell community of helpless dicks
[00:52] <revf> I can't see the karmic upgrade anymore in update-manager or do-release-upgrade.  I think the upgrade program crashed earlier without putting my repositories back to normal, and my sources list is all karmic instead of jaunty now
[00:52] <raudy> i just need to change my route ro destination <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:52] <raudy> right fade?
[00:52] <revf> how can i fix it to finish downloading/installing the upgrade?
[00:52] <[fade]> ok raudy
[00:52] <[fade]> lets do it
[00:52] <jonLappy> I am trying to install ubuntu over my gentoo installation and I want to keep my /home (sda4) partition. I am in the installer manually partitioning it but I can't tell exactly what is going on.
[00:53] <dave----> ryuuku, what do you need help with?
[00:53] <[fade]> route add default <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:53] <[fade]> that will change it
[00:53] <[fade]> add sudo in front of that command
[00:53] <dave----> ryuuku, you can private message me
[00:53] <ctmjr> !attitude | ryuuku
[00:53] <jonLappy> Should I just delete /boot /swap and / and leave /home alone?
[00:53] <raudy> fade, must i del other route first?
[00:53] <ryuuku> i need to change the ubuntu-its default page open from the italian to the english pages
[00:53] <[fade]> just add this one
[00:53] <raudy> ok
[00:53] <raudy> thanks fade..
[00:54] <Guest50584> hi
[00:54] <dave----> ryuuku, that is not complicated
[00:54] <Josh__> I'm connecting my ubuntu desktop strictly to my HDTV, via DVI > HDMI adapter. When ubuntu boots, I see the PC POST screen, and the ubuntu startup graphic, but then X enters some mode that my TV can't display. Is there a way to make ubuntu boot in standard VGA 640x480 mode?
[00:55] <ryuuku> well i am terably sorry but when some one tells me to type a question and wait for an answer anything would be nice even if they dont know they can say that
[00:55] <dave----> ryuuku, dont bash the volunteers here be glad there *is* support
[00:55] <ryuuku> can you help me then dave?
[00:55] <dave----> ryuuku, no one owes anyone anything.
[00:55] <dave----> yes
[00:55] <scyx> does anyone know what happened to the karmic beta of UNR on http://cdimage.ubuntu.com ? there's only the link to the dailies now
[00:55] <ryuuku> dave, how is there support if i type the same question 3 times and this is the most response i have gotten
[00:56] <Pici> ryuuku: Maybe no one knows the answer.  I personally don't know what ubuntu-it is.
[00:56] <fearful> ryuuku, maybe the people who read the question don't know the answer
[00:57] <fearful> ryuuku, you need to be patient until someone can help you, we all are volunteers here
[00:57] <blenderpc> trying to resolve a problem by removing some files that are under the owner "root" any suggestions?
[00:58] <ryuuku> i understand your all volantiers but i have had 2 people tell me they could help and only one is doing anything
[00:58] <fearful> blenderpc, there are ways with super user privledges
[00:58] <fearful> blenderpc, meaning sudo
[00:58] <blenderpc> I've been trying that but I'm clearly doing something wrong. :-)
[00:59] <blenderpc> I am not all that familiar with the language so I am probably typing it wrong

[00:59] <w30> I am tryin to get my wireless connection going from the command line without gui running. I ain't having any luck. I tried to use ps aux to find what the gui was doing but evidently I can't find all the processes that occur, Can some one give me a command to run to start the wireless connection?
[00:59] <ed> hello can anyone help me to use my built in webcam? thanks!
[01:00] <[fade]> ed give more informations
[01:00] <fearful> blenderpc, sudo rm will do the trick but becareful
[01:00] <Zyphern> Files on my desktop disappear after a few seconds, however when I list files in the directory from the command line they all appear. It says "Cannot access Fathom.rar Stale NFS file handle" I'm assuming this is the cause. How can I repair the directory/file?
[01:00] <fearful> blenderpc, I ahve to go; sudo rm /path/file
[01:00] <[fade]> w30 use iwlist
[01:00] <blenderpc> thanks Fearful
[01:00] <blenderpc> I appreciate the FREE HELP!
[01:00] <jonLappy> What size should I make my /boot partition when installing?
[01:00] <ed> fade i want to use my webcam to take photos like  in an apple notebook
[01:01] <ctmjr> ryuuku: ubuntu-it is a firefox extension?
[01:01] <[fade]> then connect with ifconfig wlan0 ....
[01:01] <fearful> blenderpc, your welcome
[01:01] <ryuuku> ctmjr-yes
[01:01] <[fade]> ed so what is your question?
[01:01] <w30> [fade], just iwlist or do I need flags with that?
[01:01] <[fade]> iwlist wlan0 scan < scan for networks
[01:01] <ctmjr> ryuuku: then disable it in firefox if it is not working
[01:02] <ed> fade can you help me to get my webcam to work so i can take pictures with it?
[01:02] <[fade]> ifconfig < to conect to network
[01:02] <Keiya> Is there anything nice and easy like Fedora's liveusb-creator tool to do the same with ubuntu? I'd rather not have a separate distro on my laptop and on my stick, but the instructions I've seen for ubuntu are... convoluted
[01:02] <[fade]> just plug it in
[01:02] <w30> [fade], ok thank you
[01:02] <[fade]> take pictures with what?
[01:02] <ed> with the camera
[01:02] <ryuuku> ctmjr- it works but it takes me to the italian help and support pages
[01:02] <[fade]> just plug the camera in
[01:02] <[fade]> the usb port
[01:03] <[fade]> and take pictures with it
[01:03] <ed> its built in like i said before
[01:03] <[fade]> what model is it?
[01:03] <ed> im using a laptop with a built in camera on top of the screen
[01:03] <piwi> install and open gnome cheese
[01:03] <ed> hp dv9000
[01:03] <Keiya> [fade]: You usually can't just tell the computer to take a picture. This ain't startrek :P
[01:04] <[fade]> Keiya i know, you have to start your command with sudo computer take a pic :)
[01:04] <jonLappy> Keiya: I'm sure you can. Cron + picture command should be easy enough.
[01:04] <[fade]> ed have you downloaded some programs used to obtains videos from camera?
[01:04] <ed> yea
[01:04] <ed> i tried to use camorama
[01:04] <[fade]> what did it report?
[01:04] <ed> coulnt connect to the video device
[01:05] <ed> /dev/video0
[01:05] <[fade]> i see
[01:05] <ryuuku> ed: have you checked for any kind of ubuntu support for your device or do you not know what kind it is?
[01:06] <ed> ryuuku: its a built in webcam, yes i tried googling but i didnt get any usefull info
[01:06] <ryuuku> ed: have you tried looking up the system specs of your model of laptop?
[01:06] <obadeh> I get 1.5s lag spikes on my usb wifi adapter precisely every 120 seconds, what can I do to diagnose this further?
[01:06] <jonLappy> ed: try `dmesg | grep camera`
[01:06] <jonLappy> ed: that needs to be run in bash/terminal.
[01:07] <dave1231> hey guys, i have Radeon HD3850 and i have two different screens and they are working fine, but things are very slow without the activated catalyst drivers. With these i cannot set the two monitors in the dual mode. can anyone help?
[01:07] <switchgirl1> ATTENTION: members in indonesia and the sub continent would be HIGHLY well advised to leave NOW there looks to be a tsunami heading toward you
[01:07] <ed> jonLappy: nothing happened, should i try as root?
[01:07] <jonLappy> ed: no
[01:08] <ed> jonLappy: any other suggestions?
[01:08] <jonLappy> ed: So there isn't any way to unplug the webcam and plug it in.. that would make this easier.
[01:08] <ed> jonLappy: lol no, im using a laptop its built into de screen
[01:08] <jonLappy> ed: right. How about replace camera with video and try running that?
[01:09] <ctmjr> ryuuku: thats what is is suppose to do according to the info https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4684 it is a firefox add-on
[01:09] <ryuuku> ed:  have you looked for your system specs it will tell you most of the hardware you have
[01:09] <switchgirl1> http://www.newser.com/story/71193/south-pacific-earthquakes-trigger-tsunami-alert.html
[01:09] <ed> jonLappy: didnt understand..
[01:09] <ryuuku> ctmjr: its just a firefox add-on for ubuntu help and support
[01:09] <jonLappy> ryuuku: if he can see it getting loaded in dmesg we will know if he has the drivers for it.
[01:10] <jonLappy> ed: `dmesg|grep video'
[01:10] <ryuuku> yes but my way is so much faster and works for evey os ever made

[01:12] <ed> ryuuku: yeah, ill pm u the info
[01:12] <jonLappy> ed: your webcam should work. Now type in `sudo apt-get install cheese` (or is cheese preinstalled?)
[01:13] <Nikitta> hi everyone
[01:13] <blenderpc> hi nikitta
[01:14] <Nikitta> I'd like to install 2 ubuntus on my computer, a "basic"  Kubuntu to work, and a "ubuntu studio" for making music
[01:14] <dave----> ed the linux kernel will support most UVC webcams
[01:14] <Nikitta> is there any thing hard about that?
[01:15] <Nikitta> Something I should know... Should I install first the "basic" ubuntu?
[01:16] <Yondering> Nikitta, theres no reason you can't do that.. even keep the two in separate distributions on your hdd.   But, why not just install the audio stuff you need on your kubuntu installation?
[01:16] <prajjwal> is there a way to get eclipse ganymeade into jaunty ....
[01:17] <rotzak> anyone ever install sshd on ubuntu? Was it slow as crap out of the box?
[01:17] <dave----> yes i have
[01:17] <Yondering> rotzak, yes and no
[01:17] <obadeh> sshd works for me
[01:17] <dave----> (slow as crap) No i can pull over 15 MB/s from it
[01:17] <vigo> Nikitta: Nothing really hard about it, some reading and printing will help, is like hda1 and hda2 , but I need to read up on that also.
[01:17] <rods> Howdy! I have about 400 pdfs to combine using pdftk. They are all named showfile(###).pdf--is there a shortcut way to do this rather than type all in individually?
[01:18] <rotzak> it works...it's just really f'ing slow...like 1 keystroke taks probable 1/2 sec to send accross
[01:18] <Nikitta> Yondering: Well, I belive there are some things that are optimized in ubuntu studio such as sound and midi latency. It is possible to implement it from a standard ubuntu but harder (from what I understood)
[01:18] <dave----> (slow as crap) rotzak can you be more explicit?
[01:18] <obadeh> rotzak, try sshing from localhost, then from another machine on same ethernet
[01:18] <Yondering> Nikitta, you would be correct there
[01:18] <obadeh> see if it's any faster
[01:18] <rotzak> I don't have physical access to the machine right now so...
[01:19] <obadeh> mm, ping it?
[01:19] <blenderpc> can someone tell me how to use an xorg.config file to restore back to a prior display setting?
[01:19] <natewiebe13> im getting "[Firmware Bug]: ACPI : Invalid BIOS _PSS frequency : 0x0 MHz" from beta.. anyone know why? both on live and alternate
[01:20] <Yondering> Nikitta, the only difficulties I can forsee with doing this, is that you need to be careful with your partition layouts, and your grub installation may give you trouble before you're able to access both installations.
[01:20] <rods> ?
[01:20] <jonLappy> blenderpc: if it was the last saved setting you should have a backup saved on your computer.
[01:20] <ctmjr> blenderpc: try this sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg then reboot
[01:20] <Nikitta> Yondering: Ok, I belive you're right, that hardest will be the grub
[01:21] <ryuuku> im happy how is every one else?
[01:23] <vigo> Nikitta: Yondering just tagged it, if slice/partition is hda1 and Ubuntu Studio is hda2, should work fine, I know I had it working once, Edgy and Debian.
[01:23] <obadeh> is there a way to make wireshark work with wifi interfaces?
[01:23] <ryuuku> social=happy
[01:23] <Nikitta> vigo: ok, thank you
[01:23] <Yondering> Nikitta, just keep backups of your /boot/grub/menu.lst files.   The easiest thing to do may be to install grub from one on the mbr of the drive and another grub installation for the second distro, installed on the boot or root partition of said installation.  If that made sense. o_0
[01:23] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[01:23] <paipimenta_> hello people.... I want to move and resize my /dev/sda2 Linux LVM partition
[01:24] <paipimenta_> so that the partition in fdisk  shows changes, NOT an LVM component (vg, lv, pv)
[01:24] <Yondering> wouldn't gdm do that?
[01:25] <Yondering> er, gpm.  whatever it's called now. ;)
[01:25] <Nikitta> Yondering: I belive it does. It's just that I don't remember exacly the options when installing grub. I did not remember I had choice between MBR and Root. Probably cuz I've never had to worry about this
[01:26] <Shinedown> Hey there
[01:26] <ryuuku> hi shinedown
[01:26] <Shinedown> hi ryuuku
[01:27] <ryuuku> shinedown: how are you?
[01:27] <Nikitta> I have an other question though. I'd also like to have access to windows from ubuntu, via virtualBox. The two questions are : "is windows slower and it is, how much slower" and "Do I need to leave an empty partition for windows or it will install somewhere like in /home"?
[01:27] <Shinedown> ryuuku I'm fine but i start to go crazy with my usb-problem on ubuntu
[01:28] <ryuuku> shinedown: what happened?
[01:28] <ryuuku> shinedown: just reg fail
[01:28] <Yondering> Nikitta, I don't think it gives you the choice during installation.   You'll likely need to install, boot to one, and enter grub from a console.   Once there, use setup (hd0,1)  ( or whichever parition you want to install grub on) instead of (hd0,0).  hd0,0 refers to the mbr of your primary hard disk, if I remember correctly.   I'd suggest doing a man grub and reading it thoroughly.
[01:28] <DigitalKiwi> Nikitta: to the second, no you don't need to leave a partition, but it is possible to boot an existing windows install...to the first, well, yes it's slower, by how much is hardware dependent
[01:29] <rods> Howdy! I have about 400 pdfs to combine using pdftk. They are all named showfile(###).pdf--is there a shortcut way to do this rather than type all in individually?
[01:29] <ed> hello im trying to get my computer screen to show on my tv with a vga cable any ideas?
[01:29] <rods> Nikitta, when you run VB, you create a disk file (.vdi) file
[01:29] <jrib> rods: I don't recall pdftk syntax.  What would the command be for 3 pdfs?
[01:29] <[-Blacksword-]> good afternoon, how goes?
[01:29] <rods> and then install the OS to it
[01:29] <Nikitta> DigitalKiwi: ok, thanks
[01:29] <chevelle0909> is there a mirc clone for ubuntu??
[01:29] <ryuuku> ed: no signal?
[01:29] <Flannel> chevelle0909: Try xchat
[01:29] <Nikitta> rods: ok :)
[01:30] <Shinedown> ryuuku ubuntu refuses to detect my mp3 player. I asked few people and found out that with lsusb in the console it detected the mp3 player but i still don't know how to use it
[01:30] <ed> ryuuku:
[01:30] <rods> jrib pdftk a.pdf b.pdf c.pdf cat out.pdf
[01:30] <Alen> Hi everybody
[01:30] <rods> jrib but I'm not wanting to do all 400 that way :-D
[01:30] <Zyphern> Files on my desktop disappear after a few seconds, however when I list files in the directory from the command line they all appear. It says "Cannot access Fathom.rar Stale NFS file handle" I'm assuming this is the cause. How can I repair the directory/file?
[01:30] <jrib> rods: can't you just glob them?  Or does globbing not produce the right order?
[01:30] <DigitalKiwi> I believe there are threads on ubuntu forums for using an existing partition with vbox, though it is easiest to just run it from the .vdi it gives by default
[01:30] <Nikitta> Yondering: Or, that scares me a bit, but I guess it shouldn't
[01:30] <rods> jrib I'm not familiar with globbing
[01:30] <Nikitta> Or = Ok
[01:30] <jrib> rods: try: echo showfile*.pdf
[01:30] <vigo> Nikitta: Far as I know, Windows installs first, hda0, Ubuntu next, hda1, then Studio hda2 , I do know I had a heck of a time installing Windows on a pure Linux box, but it can and was done.
[01:31] <jrib> rods: see if that gives you the output you would want
[01:31] <[-Blacksword-]> wondering if i can get some guidence... my googlefu is starting to fail me.
[01:31] <popeye> are there any drivers for zune on linux?
[01:31] <Yondering> Nikitta, if you try to do this, you're going to get familiar with the grub shell anyway.  You might as well educate yourself beforehand. ;)
[01:31] <maco> popeye: dont believe so, but you can use a windows VM in virtualbox (see virtualbox.org)
[01:31] <rods> jrib what should that be showing me
[01:31] <Alen> i have been using Ubuntu for a week now, its a great OS, is there an alternitive to adobe pacages, im interested in indesign and illustrater
[01:32] <jrib> rods: All the files in the current directory of the form showfile*.pdf where * is anything
[01:32] <popeye> thanks maco
[01:32] <rods> k
[01:32] <infexion> I am having problems with 9.10 and sound. For some reason when a sound plays for the first time ,in about 2 minutes of no sound, it makes a loud popping noise out of my speakers. Is this something that people have been experiencing?
[01:32] <infexion> I have been to the forums and I could not find much on it.
[01:32] <Nikitta> vigo: Ok, great. I belive it's easier to install windows from virtualbox though. So that's what I might do
[01:33] <rods> jrib yeah it pops it out
[01:33] <rods> jrib not in order but that can be taken care of
[01:33] <ryuuku> if anyone just wants to talk feel free to PM me kk
[01:33] <jrib> rods: yeah, just use sort or whatever
[01:33] <Nikitta> Yondering: good point :). I'll do it. But what scares me is that I won't have internet when I'm stuck in grub consol ;)
[01:33] <sebsebseb> Alen: Get stuff from the repo when it's in there, so that's  add/remove synaptic or  apt-get commands,  however these sites are good for giving you a good idea what's available as alternatives to commercial software http://www.osalt.com http://www.linuxeq.com and you can get a lot of stuff working well in Wine,  and  with enough RAM you can run Windows inside Ubuntu
[01:33] <ctmjr> infexion: all 9.10 questions should be asked in #ubuntu+1
[01:34] <vigo> Nikitta: Yes, and what Yonder said about reading up on GRUB2 will definitely be an asset and avoid alot of mistakes.
[01:34] <rods> Nikitta -- I run a VB Windows XP--only bad part is getting it synched with M$
[01:34] <infexion> ctmjr: thanks
[01:34] <[-Blacksword-]> i installed ubuntu last night, i was planning on dual booting it with windows 7. it installed smoothly and was running great. Tried to reboot back into windows and somwhere along the line the windows boot manager got hosed.
[01:35] <[-Blacksword-]> I expected this, so i attempted to repair it to the point where i could use  grub to dual boot
[01:35] <Nikitta> Ok, well, all that sounds very good and easy. I'll give it a try tomorrow
[01:35] <chai_> how do i remove the splashscreen? i installed gnome-splashscreen-manager, and removed it. but now there is still a splash
[01:35] <[-Blacksword-]> after trying for a few hours to get windows to boot, not grub is hosed and i cant reboot into linux :/
[01:35] <Shinedown> maybe someone here who knows what to do?
[01:36] <ryuuku> im a newbie ya me
[01:36] <infexion> ctmjr: where?

[01:40] <vigo> {-Blacksword-] : fix-grub, maybe
[01:40] <bastid_raZor> Manifest1: you need to convert it and using DeVeDe would be the easiest solutino
[01:40] <Falchion> hello
[01:40] <Shinedown> ryuuku where are you from?
[01:40] <Manifest> graelin: Alright, I'll give it a try thank you.
[01:40] <Falchion> out of interest
[01:40] <Manifest> bastid_raZor: How do I convert it?
[01:40] <Zyphern> Is there a way to tell which mount point a given directory is in e.g. my desktop directory
[01:41] <graelin> Does anyone have/use freevo with a WinTV 1600 HVR card? #freevo seems a ghost town, and I need major help getting TV working
[01:41] <graelin> specifically the local_conf.py options
[01:42] <aluno_> olá galera
[01:42] <Kraln> graelin: I have an hvr1800 and afaik the chipset is only half supported
[01:42] <aluno_> olá
[01:42] <aluno_> hello
[01:42] <balzac> hello
[01:43] <Guest22178> i have a blocked update, how do i unblock it?
[01:43] <bastid_raZor> Manifest: in DeVeDe it is self explanatory. select the file and convert. then burn with your favorite burning application
[01:43] <aluno_> well can U explain it a little more?
[01:43] <graelin> Kraln: You sure about that? I get analog and digital in separate programs... just not freevo. I'm fairly sure its a config problem, but could also be a freevo/driver thing
[01:43] <Guest49750> hey all i got a problem with my wireless randomly dropping any suggestions?
[01:43] <balzac> I've had a bad time trying to use "remote desktop" functionality "vinagre" lately
[01:43] <Kraln> hvr1600 and 1800 may be different chipsets
[01:44] <ed> hey i got my laptop screen to show on my tv however there's a missing piece of image on the left side, how can i adjust it? thanks!
[01:44] <balzac> I think it's been screwed up, based on the fact I have failed to make it work having spent a long time seeking documentation and support
[01:44] <balzac> I wish I could get some expert help making remote desktop work
[01:44] <graelin> Kraln: could be.. but I understand an 1800 to be a 1600... just PCIe
[01:44] <aluno_> is there anyone that knows iptables there?
[01:45] <balzac> is anyone able to use "remote desktop" without expertise and configuration file "voodoo"?
[01:45] <balzac> or if you had to struggle, can you share the arcane secrets of using "remote desktop"?
[01:45] <jonLappy> How do I figure out what type of file system an external hd has?
[01:46] <balzac> jonLappy: you're planning to format an external HD?
[01:46] <mb_again_> balzac: are you connecting into your linux or out to another machine?
[01:46] <balzac> mb_again_: I'd like to do both.
[01:46] <jonLappy> balzac: nope, nevermind. I was trying to mount it.
[01:46] <balzac> I'm working with a colleague
[01:47] <jonLappy> balzac: actually in gentoo. :P fdisk ftw
[01:47] <balzac> jonLappy: ok
[01:47] <Nikitta> Thank you all for your help
[01:47] <Nikitta> good night
[01:47] <balzac> mb_again_: thanks for responding. I try not to whine but I used to be able to use vinagre
[01:47] <Geheimdienst> i'm wondering what happened to the package "ogle". it was present up to intrepid, but got killed in jaunty. how do i get that back?
[01:47] <optimizer> is there anyway to have the mice not wake up the screen? (only key board input wake up the screen)? i have a really really sensistive mice
[01:48] <ed> hey i got my laptop screen to show on my tv however there's a missing piece of image on the left side, how can i adjust it? thanks!
[01:48] <mb_again_> balzac: have had good success outgoing from linux to a windows RDP server with the remote tool that comes with ubuntu out of the box. all that is needed is to allow the connectino port through the firewalls involved
[01:48] <Zyphern> I have a stale file handle in my desktop directory, what do I need to unmount/mount to repair it?
[01:48] <graelin> ed: nvidia? if so, use the proprietary driver and nvidia-settings ap
[01:48] <balzac> mb_again_: do you use a command-line tool for firewall configuration?
[01:49] <balzac> i'm not trying to admin a windows machine from ubuntu
[01:49] <balzac> i want to set up the server on the colleague's ubuntu machine so I can remotely administer her machine
[01:49] <ed> graelin: yes im playing with the driver settings but i cant find a way to "move" the image on my tv
[01:49] <mb_again_> balzac: in to linux, not so good. I have a headless box beside me that I can export x windows to my main machine and monitor via ssh port forward (a default setting easily enabled) nothing else
[01:50] <balzac> it's a very useful "social feature" of ubuntu that used to work. I think it's critical functionality.
[01:50] <balzac> I'd say the Ubuntu package maintainers lose a few points on this fail.
[01:50] <balzac> it used to work for me.
[01:51] <joey9112006> hey does anyone know why video streaming from the internet doesnt work anymore?
[01:51] <balzac> either that or the documentation team dropped the ball because I can't find any solid documentation on it.
[01:52] <ed> hey i got my laptop screen to show on my tv however there's a missing piece of image on the left side, how can i adjust it? thanks!
[01:52] <goofy> hi
[01:53] <balzac> there's an advanced configuration screen which was removed from the remote desktop server config dialog
[01:53] <joey9112006> did linux screw up with adobe flash players or something
[01:53] <balzac> tightvnc has weak documentation too. It might be comprehensive, but it's all mixed together. I feel like i'm a bird trying to pick a few berries from a pile of elephant dung.
[01:54] <mb_again_> balzac: took me a minute to remember. from your own machine running any X server, ssh -X to the target machine. You will then have a command line. if you then activate any gui program, like this "firefox &" the window will open on your own desktop. It's not remote desktop, but should be excellent for admin support
[01:54] <hipitihop> I have a remote pc upgraded from 9.04 to karmic which fails to boot into x and also shows some boot errors, how can I see those errors from a ssh session ?
[01:54] <balzac> mb_again_: thanks for the clue
[01:54] <balzac> can I do that with gnome desktop?
[01:54] <balzac> ssh -X; gnome-desktop &
[01:55] <mb_again_> balzac: there is a gotcha, if your own machine has tight security on the X server, you may have to open it up to allow the remote session in.
[01:55] <mb_again_> balzac: an intersting idea ...
[01:55] <Casper0082> balzac:  you are trying to remote into someone elses ubuntu box?  Did they setup via System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop?
[01:55] <balzac> Casper0082: I tried
[01:56] <balzac> "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network."
[01:56] <Casper0082> I bet it is a firewall issue then.  I know I used remote desktop in 9.04
[01:56] <balzac> I researched that
[01:56] <mb_again_> balzac: that does not appear to be an application
[01:56] <balzac> and found a bunch of hairy recommendations
[01:56] <Casper0082> I used it to connect to a friends comp via the internet.
[01:56] <balzac> mb_again_: I was just trying to guess
[01:57] <balzac> Casper0082: what firewall configuration utility do you use?
[01:57] <Geheimdienst> with jaunty, is it possible to install packages from the intrepid repository? or is that unsafe?
[01:57] <Casper0082> balzac:  I am talking about their routers firewall
[01:57] <distrohopper> Geheimdienst: it's not recommended
[01:57] <Casper0082> cable modem, dsl modem etc
[01:57] <balzac> Casper0082: that's a good idea
[01:58] <balzac> So I'll look up documentation on these doohickeys and see if I can open up port 5900 on each
[01:58] <Casper0082> I think they need to port forward 5900 iirc
[01:58] <balzac> yes
[01:58] <balzac> First I'll get my server opened up, then I'll help my colleague
[01:58] <balzac> thanks Casper0082, mb_again_
[01:59] <Geheimdienst> distrohopper: ok, thank you
[01:59] <GautamaBuddha> Hi, can someone help me find the proper driver for my Atheros network device?
[02:00] <Casper0082> balzac:  only the one accepting the connection really needs it forwarded, but it would be useful to open yours and have them try to connect to you (if they are not familiar with port forwarding)
[02:00] <mnaines> GautamaBuddha: Is it an onboard network device or a USB one?
[02:00] <balzac> ok, thanks
[02:00] <LaveliDeara> hello guys, how will I share a folder in xp running in virualbox in ubuntu, to get it in ubuntu filesystem ?
[02:00] <GautamaBuddha> mnaines it is an onboard device
[02:00] <GautamaBuddha> mnaines I believe it is an AtherosEG5007 or soemthing like that
[02:01] <blenderpc> Just wanted to stop by and thank those who helped me with my display issue...it has been resolved after following the advice I got here!  Thanks again
[02:01] <mnaines> GautamaBuddha: What kind of laptop is it?
[02:01] <GautamaBuddha> mnaines its a Toshiba Satellite
[02:01] <prajjwal> hi .. .what is a good music player for Ubuntu that supports m4a 's
[02:01] <mnaines> I got a Satellite, too, but mine uses Intel drivers
[02:01] <LaveliDeara> I created a shared folder in virtualbox and move all data to Shared Documents in XP, but still can't find it within ubuntu
[02:01] <GautamaBuddha> Satallite A215
[02:01] <aaron__> does any body else see obvious problems in the xubutu documentation were it covers listen player and mtp players?
[02:01] <mnaines> Mine's an A205
[02:02] <GautamaBuddha> I want to find a driver that will allow packet injection
[02:02] <mnaines> GautamaBuddha: The Intel drivers I have support injection automatically
[02:03] <mnaines> GautamaBuddha: I just have to modprobe to the ipwraw drivers
[02:03] <GautamaBuddha> mnaines I was using airmon-ng and it was telling me that my device didn't support injection
[02:03] <mnaines> GautamaBuddha: Yeah...Its not the drivers...Its the card itself...That particular card isn't supported
[02:03] <GautamaBuddha> I was looking at a table about my device and it showed that it is capable of injection with the right driver
[02:03] <GautamaBuddha> oh damn
[02:03] <aaron__>  it says Open Applications → Multimedia → Listen Music Player.#Click Edit → Plugins, but that is not an option in listen player
[02:04] <GautamaBuddha> so, if I wanted to do injection, I'd need to buy a new network card?
[02:04] <yoga> I just install 9.10 beta, I wonder where is the menu.lst file? I cannot find it in /boot/grub.
[02:04] <mnaines> GautamaBuddha: Most Atheros cards won't work with BackTrack 3...Intel drivers, D-Link, and Linksys are the only three drivers that have injection capabilites
[02:04] <Pici> yoga : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[02:05] <GautamaBuddha> mnaines lame, ok thanks
[02:05] <hipitihop> how do I see the boot log ?
[02:05] <GautamaBuddha> I also have another question. Is it possible for me to install linux, then add software to my harddrive, then make a new live cd that will run live with that new software?
[02:05] <mnaines> GautamaBuddha: The D-Link WUA1310 wireless USB dongle is the best one to use
[02:05] <GautamaBuddha> mnaines thank you
[02:06] <mnaines> GautamaBuddha: Make sure you download the RaLink rt75 drivers for that card.  The rt75 drivers support injection
[02:06] <paipimenta_> wow, yoga AND Gautama Buddha
[02:06] <Berzerker-> having a problem with nvidia drivers, just installed 185, and now my screen flickers and can't startx, with no screens found
[02:07] <GautamaBuddha> mnaines awesome, you rock
[02:07] <aaron__> how would one get the drivers for an mtp player in xubuntu, the documentation is very unclear
[02:07]  * mnaines uses BackTrack 3
[02:07] <usser> hello
[02:08] <mnaines> Berzerker-: use the 180 drivers...Those are the most recent stable drivers
[02:08] <GautamaBuddha> Is it possible for me to install linux, then add software to my harddrive, then make a new live cd that will run live with that new software?
[02:08] <Berzerker-> mnaines, how do I uninstall the current drivers from a console
[02:09] <mnaines> Berzerker-: Sorry.  I do not know how to do it from the console.
[02:09]  * mnaines is too new to Linux to know console commands
[02:10] <nic1> any of you knw the chat room name of qt?
[02:11] <[-Blacksword-]> i guess a new question.,. i have to do a fresh install of windows 7 and ububtu.. the partition table and mbr are beyond hosed.. any suggestion on the installation order?
[02:11] <[-Blacksword-]> or suggestions on how i can dual boot adn not have this issue again?
[02:11] <Doc_Lappy> win 7 then ubuntu
[02:11] <mnaines> [-Blacksword-]: I would install Ubuntu first, so that GRUB can handle the boot manager
[02:12] <BronzeAu> Hi: If there are any +1's in here can you come into the Ubuntu+1 room and give us a hand. Ta
[02:12] <[-Blacksword-]> windows will overwrite grub when i install it
[02:12] <nic1> what is +1
[02:12] <BronzeAu> #ubuntu+1
[02:12] <IdleOne> [-Blacksword-]: windows then ubuntu
[02:12] <mnaines> [-Blacksword-]: Connect one hard drive at a time.  Install Linux on one, then install Windows 7 on the other, making sure not to connect both drives until after the operating systems are installed
[02:12] <Doc_Lappy> yes thats why you need to install windows 7 first then ubuntu and install ubuntu manually or side by side option if you don't know what your doing
[02:13] <nic1> hey i want to join the qt chat room, but when i go to list rooms and type qt, not getting any list, it's telling 0 rooms
[02:13] <BronzeAu> +1 is Karmic Koala. fixes.
[02:13] <mnaines> [-Blacksword-]: I did it using one drive at a time, and it let me choose what operating system I wanted because both drives had their own MBR
[02:13] <Casper0082> nic1: try /join #qt
[02:14] <nic1> not able to join qt room
[02:14] <[-Blacksword-]> i guess is it possible to isntall ubuntu through windows? to prevent issues like this from happening again?
[02:14] <nic1> when i type for qt in list rooms or any thing even ubuntu, i am getting 0 rooms
[02:14] <Doc_Lappy>  tar -xvf fire-3.5.3.tar.bz2  can someone tell me the RIGHT way to do this i don't understand the --help page
[02:14] <nic1> any one knows what can i do?
[02:15] <thefirstdude> is python pymedia in the repository, or is there one I should add
[02:15] <pornstar> hey guys! Im getting random screen freezes but my mouse pointer still moves, any ideas on whats happening? thank you!
[02:15] <mnaines> [-Blacksword-]: I never had a problem when I installed using one drive at a time...Plug in one drive, install Ubuntu, then disconnect that one and plug in the second one and install Windows 7.  DO NOT connect both until after you install both operating systems.  That will give each drive its own partition table and MBR, allowing you to choose between the operating systems and it will prevent problems like that
[02:15] <nightrid3r> Doc_Lappy: tar -xjvf fire......
[02:15] <Doc_Lappy> i thought it was -xvf that i always used but think the file ext is different than the files i usually do that with
[02:15] <Doc_Lappy> k thanks nightrid3r
[02:16] <[-Blacksword-]> they way my setup is im not sure if instlling one drive at a time is a valid option
[02:16] <saulus> I want to use duplicity for making a backup of selected files only. So I created a list of files to pass the file to duplicity. But duplicity doesnt accept this list without a path name and exits for me with "only specifies that files be included.  Because the default is to include all files, the expression is redundant.  Exiting because this probably isn't what you meant." How can I manage this?
[02:17] <mnaines> [-Blacksword-]: All you have to do is unplug both drives then plug in one drive at a time until both operating systems are installed.  No need to remove the drives themselves
[02:18] <Casper0082> mnaines: what do you use as your boot loader when you do that or do you just use the bios to select the boot drive?  Seems like that shouldn't work
[02:18] <binho> um chat só pra linux?
[02:18] <kanuha> are win32codecs in the repositories?
[02:18] <nightrid3r> !pt | binho
[02:18] <mnaines> Casper0082: You let the BIOS handle it.  Because both drives have master boot records, the BIOS lets you choose between them when the computer starts up
[02:18] <usser> saulus, provide full paths?
[02:19] <usser> !medibuntu | kanuha
[02:19] <Casper0082> mnaines: That seems more like a cheap hack than using grub
[02:19] <pornstar> hello! Im getting random screen freezes but my mouse pointer still moves, any ideas on whats happening? thank you!
[02:19] <saulus> usser: the file contains the full path to every file that shall be backed up
[02:19] <kanuha> usser, thx
[02:19] <mnaines> Casper0082: Yes, but it is more stable than grub because if one drive fails you can still boot the computer
[02:20] <Casper0082> I still would recommend win7 then ubuntu so that grub will automatically add win to the boot loader
[02:20] <graelin> mnaines: C'mon.. grub NEVER fails
[02:20] <saulus> usser: when I provide full pathes (like /home/someuser/) I also back up videos and stuff. I dont want that
[02:21] <Casper0082> mnaines:  not an issue if you backup your system.  I'd rather use grub with a backup than lose a drive with data...
[02:21] <jdfoote3> Hi - I just installed Karmic, and I can't get network-manager to work. When I try to connect to a wireless network, the network-manager icon disappears. Can anyone help?
[02:21] <usser> saulus, hang on 1 sec
[02:22] <syntax> aegcv t sbf xk afv srggscbeas
[02:22] <Pici> jdfoote3 : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.

[02:22] <jdfoote3> Pici: Thanks! :)
[02:22] <Berzerker-> how do I uninstall nvidia drivers through the command line?
[02:22] <Pici> Guest66633: Please stop.
[02:22] <Guest66633> dngow andkv?
[02:23] <Guest66633> ;;;;zvmt59nvz
[02:23] <[-Blacksword-]> what started it for me is the partition i installed linux on happened to be the partition windows decided tor andomly throw its boot loader on.. because of that grub didnt see the bootloader and didnt add it. trying to manually install the mootmgr deteriorated until i couldnt boot to anything aside from the cd
[02:23] <zenlunatic> xdid you do  a grub-install
[02:23] <pornstar> hello! Im getting random screen freezes but my mouse pointer still moves, any ideas on whats happening? thank you!
[02:23] <Berzerker-> Pici, any idea?
[02:24] <eli_> hello, every
[02:24] <usser> saulus, in the man page it says you could put something like following in the list file, /home/me next line - /home/me/videos
[02:24] <usser> saulus, that will effectively tell duplicity to backup your home excluding /home/me/videos
[02:24] <usser> saulus, so forth and so on
[02:24] <Casper0082> [-Blacksword-]:  Oh, so you have both installed, but no bootloader?
[02:24] <akiraso> Hello does anyone know how to get better 'sound' overall? I just installed ubuntu for the first time.
[02:25] <zenlunatic> [-Blacksword-]: grub-install
[02:25] <[-Blacksword-]> i accidentally nuked the windows bootloaded when i installed ubuntu.. mostly bcause of a stupid design decision on MS's part
[02:25] <jumbers> Are there any easy to use mail server management web panels?
[02:25] <eli_> can I ask a problem about sendmail installed apt-get in this room?
[02:25] <paipimenta_> here's my fdisk output..... I want to move LVM partition to block 6 or 7, right up against /dev/sda1 http://paste.ubuntu.com/288227/
[02:25] <pornstar> awwww plz help!
[02:25] <[-Blacksword-]> then when i tried to manually install the ms bootloaded so i could boot back into windows 7, i nuked the partition table i think
[02:25] <saulus> usser: right. I wrote a script that needs a lot of change to put the + - magic in. I try to avoid that.
[02:26] <pornstar> hello! Im getting random screen freezes but my mouse pointer still moves, any ideas on whats happening? thank you!
[02:26] <Pici> Berzerker-: use dpkg -l | grep nvidia    to determine which package you have installed, then use apt-get remove    to remove that one
[02:26] <graelin> pornstar: Can you bring up sytem monitor? Look for a process using an unusual cpu %. Start there
[02:26] <graelin> kill -9 is your friend
[02:26] <kegger> hello, i have a question about Ubuntu Server Edition,  if i set it up as the server os,  will i be able to easly access it from microsoft os computers?
[02:27] <paipimenta_> the way I got it from 7297 end to 4000 was delete and add new partition... had to move beginning of data in partition to exact block since partition doesn't start on boundary of cylinder
[02:27] <pornstar> graelin: no, everything is normal
[02:27] <Berzerker-> Pici, thanks
[02:27] <zenlunatic> kegger: access how?
[02:27] <kegger> lets say the Ubuntu Server Edition is a data server
[02:27] <zenlunatic> i dont know what a data server is
[02:27] <tech404> anyone know why ubuntu fails to boot when mounting /var/tmp as tmpfs?
[02:27] <ArkoldThos> xd
[02:28] <pornstar> graelin: when i get the freezes everything stops, music, compiz, video.. everything i can still move the mose but clicks doesnt work
[02:28] <kegger> um a place where i will store files and access them from other computers
[02:28] <mnaines> Kegger, a Samba server?
[02:28] <zenlunatic> kegger: using... ?
[02:28] <[-Blacksword-]> i learned that newer versions of windows will randomly throw its bootloader onto any ntfs or fat partition on the PC..
[02:28] <kegger> microsoft xp,  or vista
[02:28] <mnaines> zenlunatic: Being Ubuntu, most likely it will be Samba
[02:28] <usser> saulus, hm well i see theres --include-globbing-filelist there in the man, that allows regular expressions to match whatever files you need
[02:28] <ArkoldThos> kegger, ctrl + alt + f1 and kill something
[02:28] <zenlunatic> kegger: no using what protocol
[02:28] <usser> saulus, i dont know much about regexps so you'll have to excuse me on that
[02:29] <kegger> um,  if i follow your question,  tcp/ip
[02:29] <ArkoldThos> sorry xd
[02:29] <ArkoldThos> pornstar, , ctrl + alt + f1 and kill something
[02:29] <akiraso> does anyone know how to get better sound from your spearkers when using ubuntu?
[02:29] <saulus> usser: thank you. I will change the script - that looks like the most comfortable way
[02:29] <zenlunatic> kegger: okay you're being way to vague
[02:29] <graelin> pornstar: Welp. the onlu other time I had an issue like that, it was actually a bad HD of all things. Seemed to mess with the ide controller so everytime i used my slaved dvd drive I'd get really flaky OS behaviour. Figured it out after I replaced the dvd drive and kept getting the problem. I know,... a total ramble, but that was my deal
[02:29] <kegger> sorry,  no trying to be,  not sure i understand your question
[02:30] <kegger> i am about to install Ubuntu Server Edition on a pc,  and want to use it as an in house storage server
[02:30] <mnaines> kegger, Samba is used on Linux machines to share files between Linux, Windows, and Macintosh machines
[02:30] <Casper0082> kegger: do you mean access files or access the server via ssh?
[02:30] <dennis_> hey can somebody tell me how I can use my mp3 player like a normal hdd? it shows up when i type lsusb but i don't know ho to use it right
[02:30] <mreverywhere> quick question everyone whats the best aka easiest cd burning program in ubuntu?
[02:30] <usser> saulus, no problem, you absolutely positively need incremental backup? because backup can be easily done with a simple tar
[02:30] <IdleOne> Pici: There used to be a factoid about kill -9, remember what it was?
[02:30] <kegger> i mean access files
[02:30] <zenlunatic> kegger: now you are changing the question
[02:30] <kegger> all local,  access
[02:30] <fiber> hi... I was wondering if anyone knew of a good command line tool to normalize WAV volumes... I have MANY wav files that need to be normalized (I wouldn't mind also converting them to mp3 in one sweep, although using lame after is no big problem)
[02:30] <Casper0082> kegger: look up samba
[02:30] <Pici> IdleOne: I don't recall one, sorry.
[02:30] <kegger> sorry,  not my intent
[02:31] <saulus> usser: thank god I used python for my task. The change was done very fast and the idea to only provide a Excluding list fits for duplicity
[02:31] <kegger> looking it up
[02:31] <saulus> usser: yeah, I prefer incremental backup
[02:31] <IdleOne> Pici: for some reason I remember a factoid stating that kill -9 was not a preferred method of killing a process in ubuntu
[02:31] <pornstar> graelin: so ur saying my hardware fucked up?
[02:31] <kegger> could you be alittle more specific,  samba is a style of dance too
[02:31] <usser> saulus, alright cool
[02:31] <akiraso> when I use Windows vista my sound is normal. but when I boot ubuntu and use it, the sound is always so much deeper. there seems to be more bass..
[02:32] <mreverywhere> quick question everyone whats the best aka easiest cd burning program in ubuntu?
[02:32] <usser> !samba
[02:32] <mnaines> kegger, Salsa is the dance, not samba
[02:32] <graelin> pornstar: Nope.. I'm saying MY HW was messed up. Do you have the remote-client daemon ruinning by any chance... Did that once and had unusually spradic freezes b4 too
[02:32] <usser> mreverywhere, brasero for gnome and k3b for kde, personally i use k3b even on gnome
[02:32] <Crypia> Hello - OK I give up, how can I change the startup order of gdm in Karmic Koala?  I can't find an rcX.d symlinks to renumber and I having trouble figuring out this new upstart thing.
[02:33] <graelin> pornstar: Is it random, what are you doing when it happens?
[02:33] <mreverywhere> usser braseros not working so well it wont get past normalizing, its a bug that hasnt been fixed yet
[02:33] <mnaines> !karmic | Crypia
[02:33] <pornstar> graelin: random but it seems to increase when i play any audio or video file
[02:33] <mreverywhere> usser so k3b is easy like wont need to look anything crazy up or like might need a quick how to easy?
[02:33] <kegger> so if i understand this correctly,  i install Ubuntu Server Edition and samba,  and i will have a nice seemless local area network connection with windows operating systesms
[02:34] <Berzerker-> Pici, ok, now, how do I install the 180 drivers without it installing the 185 drivers?
[02:34] <kegger> samba is also a dance
[02:34] <usser> mreverywhere, its windows easy
[02:34] <zenlunatic> kegger: yeah samba works well with windows
[02:34] <kegger> The New American Dictionary of Music describes Samba as "a very lively Brazilian couple dance of African origin in 4/4 time). Generally, Samba is counted in 2/4 time (2 beats to a bar of music).
[02:34] <mreverywhere> k thnx usser
[02:34] <Berzerker-> Pici, when I do sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 it says it's going to install 185 also
[02:34] <graelin> I thopught samba was a music genre
[02:34] <kegger> thank you
[02:34] <mnaines> graelin: That's salsa
[02:35] <graelin> naw salsa is a condiment
[02:35] <pornstar> graelin: random but it seems to increase when i play any audio or video file
[02:35] <mnaines> graelin: Salsa is also a type of music and dance
[02:35] <dennis_> anyone there who could help?
[02:35] <graelin> pornstar: Any errors in the logfiles?
[02:35] <dennis_> tried to find something with google but didn't find anything
[02:35] <paipimenta_> here's my fdisk output..... I want to move LVM partition to block 6 or 7, right up against /dev/sda1 http://paste.ubuntu.com/288227/
[02:36] <paipimenta_> can someone help me???
[02:36] <Pici> Berzerker-: Are you running Karmic?
[02:36] <mnaines> graelin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salsa_music
[02:36] <pornstar> graelin: should i check on the kernel log?
[02:36] <Berzerker-> Pici, yeah
[02:37] <Pici> Berzerker-: Then you should be asking in #ubuntu+1.  Karmic is offtopic for #ubuntu until release day
[02:37] <Berzerker-> Pici, no one knows how to do anything in there, that's why I'm asking in here.
[02:37] <Flannel> mnaines, graelin: as much as most of us enjoy food and dancing, it's not really ontopic.

[02:39] <pornstar> graelin: got that?
[02:41] <graelin> pornstar: Yeah... dunno what it means, but ata.00 rings of HD. Total guess, because I don't know... but SATA PATA.. . who knows. So the problem is.. nothing responds in X but you can move the mouse cursor fine
[02:42] <graelin> pornstar: Does it recover after a bit, or do you need to logout/off?
[02:43] <mnaines> graelin: When the desktop freezes, does it look like everything has shifted to the right?
[02:43] <graelin> mnaines: pornstar has the problem.. not me. Re-install fixed all my problems
[02:44] <graelin> that and pul;ling out my bad drive to replenish my shiney coffee coaster collection
[02:44] <graelin> Disk platters are durable.. and don't corrode
[02:44] <pornstar> graelin: it recovers
[02:44]  * scunizi thinks he has a lot of coasters around as well :)
[02:44]  * mnaines uses old CDs as coasters
[02:45] <mnaines> pornstar: When the desktop freezes, does it look like everything shifts to the right?
[02:45]  * graelin launches old CD's downtown with a bike tire inner tube
[02:45] <pornstar> mnaines: nope
[02:45] <graelin> but again... ot digression
[02:46] <pornstar> mnaines: it just freezes i can write, i cant click, audio stops, video stops (if playing any) only thing i can do is move the mouse pointer
[02:47] <pornstar> mnaines: cant* write
[02:47] <graelin> pornstar: And the cpu usage is normal?
[02:47] <mnaines> pornstar: Lately, I've been getting lag...Without warning and without any action on my part, the CPU use jumps by 50% and the entire desktop freezes temporarily.
[02:47] <pornstar> graelin: while frozen?
[02:47] <graelin> pornstar:  Aye  while frozen
[02:47] <pornstar> mnaines: yeah its kind of a lag
[02:47]  * scunizi thinks the channel is in the "all quiet" mode before the next release.. or we're all eating dinner, sleeping or....
[02:48] <Doc_Lappy> can you get to top pornstar
[02:48] <pornstar> graelin: dunno i cant click while frozen so i cant check the cpu stats
[02:48] <mnaines> pornstar: Yeah...I get that a lot.  I do not know what causes it.  It just randomly happens.  One core on the quad core suddenly runs up to 100% utilization for a few seconds and everything but the mouse freezes
[02:48] <Doc_Lappy> that might tell you what cpu stuff and processes, oh that sucks ....
[02:49] <graelin> pornstar: Try keeping a term window open and visible with top going. Try and get a freeze and see what shows up
[02:49] <mnaines> pornstar: Can you enable the system monitor on the taskbar?  That is how I know what happens when the desktop freezes
[02:49] <pornstar> mnaines: what repo r u using?
[02:49] <scunizi> pornstar: you might be able to get to top with ctrl+alt+f2.. although that may have been suggested.. I just logged in.
[02:49] <mnaines> pornstar: I use the United States repo
[02:49] <Beastmode> hey guys how do people get that bar of applications across their screen on the desktop?
[02:49] <pornstar> mnaines: ubuntu version?
[02:50] <mnaines> pornstar: I'm on Jaunty
[02:50] <scunizi> Beastmode: that would be AWN most possibly.. it's in the repos and has a nice site
[02:50] <pornstar> mnaines: thats the lastest version right?
[02:50] <Doc_Lappy> could that be not enough swap or something?  just curious if there could be a problem with memory or something I never understood what the swap partition was for
[02:50] <mnaines> pornstar: I'm using mirror.aml.gov repo
[02:50] <mnaines> Ubuntu 9.04
[02:51] <malcor> Im having issues connecting to my samaba share from windows, can i have some help please?
[02:51] <pornstar> mnaines: yeah me too 9.04
[02:51] <graelin> Doc_Lappy: With the availabilty and economy of memory, swap is kinda outdated except to hibernate
[02:51] <scunizi> graelin: or video processing
[02:52] <Beastmode> scunizi thx ill google awn and read about it
[02:52] <Doc_Lappy> I see graelin so don't bother putting to much memory in swap then
[02:52] <mnaines> graelin: Depends on how much memory.  Unless you have 4GB or more of memory, it is advised not to erase the swap
[02:52] <pornstar> mnaines: try keeping the kernel log open, i've been playing music for a while now with no freezes, when it usually freezes within a minute or so..
[02:52] <Doc_Lappy> I have left it as default all the time
[02:52] <Casper0082> pornstar:  from that syslog it looks like a hdd is failing or has bad blocks.  I would boot with a live cd and run e2fsck on that disk (assuming your filesystem is ext2/ext3)
[02:52] <Ollonk> Anyone want to help me with the CPU governor?
[02:52] <mnaines> Casper0082: I use ext4
[02:52] <pornstar> Casper0082: its a kernel log
[02:52] <papermachine> How can I get Ubuntu to stop playing with my laptop's brightness? I'm on a Lenovo Thinkpad SL400 running Koala. I've unchecked everything in power management but it still flickers after being idle for five minutes.
[02:53] <graelin>  /me keeps a swap for nostalgic reasons as well as the possibility of a catastrophic memory meltdown
[02:53] <malcor> Ive set up samba on the server and checked it with webmin, when i try and connect through windows on Network it shows the server when i go on there i cant view any files or add files to it, and its writable
[02:54] <pornstar> Casper0082: hdd stands for hard drive disc?
[02:54] <fccf> !karmic | papermachine
[02:54] <Flannel> papermachine: check your BIOS
[02:54] <Casper0082> pornstar: yes
[02:54] <Flannel> papermachine: Ah yes, and it might be a beta-issue as well.
[02:54] <Ollonk> wait don't you mean 10.10?
[02:54] <pornstar> Casper0082: how can i execute a memtest
[02:54] <snapalm> I've got a couple of problems i need to sort out on a laptop I'm using. Firstly I mistakenly activated a driver and now when i load Ubuntu the desktop wont show up, only a command line interface. Any idea how i can disable it?
[02:54] <Ollonk> oh wait nvm... this is 9.04
[02:54]  * Ollonk facepalms
[02:54] <KittyBoots> I have a question regarding ftp and dosbox
[02:55] <pornstar> snapalm: what kind of driver are u talking about
[02:55] <scunizi> snapalm: what driver did you activate?
[02:55] <graelin> pornstar: Reboot and choose it off the grub menu
[02:55] <snapalm> ATI graphics, something along that line
[02:55] <neoTheCat> good evening EST.  is there a way i can force evolution to do a sync with google calendar instead of just waiting for evolution to automatically sync?
[02:55] <kebomix> i have strange problem , i got toshiba satellite A300-29N laptop , and ubuntu installer and gparted doesn't see my partitions and show my 320 gb unpartitioned and i can open partitions with File Manager "Nautilus " on live cd !! , and partitions works fine on windows vista !?
[02:56] <pornstar> I JUST PLAYED A WHOLE SONG WITHOUT A SINGLE FREEZE, THE ONLY DIFFERENT THING IM DOING IS KEEPING THE KERN LOG OPEN.. WEIRD..
[02:56] <pornstar> snapalm: go to hardware drivers and disable it
[02:56]  * papermachine doublechecks.
[02:56] <fccf> !caps | pornstar
[02:56] <graelin> snapalm: when loading... choose recovery mode from grub menu.. you'll get basic vga and terrible resolution, but you can remove the driver and/or tweak X a bit
[02:57] <malcor> Ive set up samba on the server and checked it with webmin, when i try and connect through windows on Network it shows the server when i go on there i cant view any files or add files to it, and its writable
[02:57] <pornstar> fccf: bah
[02:57] <papermachine> Oh, I lied. This is still Jackalope. Got my animals confused.
[02:57] <snapalm> k will try now
[02:57] <papermachine> Might be a BIOS problem though? I'll play with it in a bit. Thanks for the advice.
[02:58] <Casper0082> pornstar:  Assuming you are using ext2/ext3 filesystem I would run e2fsck -f -c -v /dev/sda1 (replace /dev/sda1 with your drive/partition).  This will force a check for bad blocks.
[02:58] <Casper0082> pornstar: from a live cd (without the drive in question mounted)
[02:58] <Evelina> I try to run a python script over and over again in a bash script, but after a while the python script seems to stop working. It doens't matter whatever I restart the bash script. The python script still doesn't begin to work again. What is happening?
[02:58] <snapalm> ugh, something went wrong, might relate to my second problem. To get Ubuntu to properly load i have to add acpi=off to the boot options otherwise it wont load at all
[02:59] <malcor> Any chance of help at all?
[02:59] <pornstar> Casper0082: memtest checks for bad blocks aswell right?
[02:59] <snapalm> but i can't get the recovery graphics thing to work when adding acpi=off, just get the same command line
[03:00] <fccf> snapalm: are you talking about xfix from the recovery console
[03:00] <Casper0082> pornstar: memtest will check for memory (RAM) for errors.  You need to check your hard drive
[03:01] <dave1231> need help with my radoen 3850. cant do dual mode with two screens with the ati drivers. anybody aware of a solution?
[03:01] <Ollonk> Is there any way to force the CPU governor to max all the time
[03:02] <Ollonk> I set it to "performance" from the panel plugin, but it still remains at 800mhz
[03:02] <Ollonk> rather than 1200 mhz
[03:02] <fccf> dave1231: you might get better help in #ati ... please be patient there though
[03:02] <mamo78> hi i need help on settingup thin cliens with ubuntu
[03:02] <graelin> Ollonk: Why would you want to? The point is to reduce power consumption if you don't need the power. You could disable it in BIOS if it doesn't suite your needs
[03:02] <pornstar> Casper0082: can i run a hd test from grub?
[03:02] <snapalm> fgrlx fails it says, then it just freezes at a screwed up version of the acer bios splash
[03:02] <dave1231> fccf: k thx
[03:02] <prajjwal> is there a command to open the file manager from the terminal ???
[03:02] <snapalm> this is running from  recovery
[03:03] <mamo78> anyone can help me?
[03:03] <Casper0082> pornstar:  no.  You could run it from a terminal but I would recommend from a live cd without that drive mounted
[03:03] <fccf> Ollonk: see here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=248867
[03:03] <Ollonk> graelin: My CPU maxes when I scroll down a web page but doesn't clock up, when I can manage to get it at 1200 mhz, I can browse smoothly, but only for an instant
[03:03] <Ollonk> I'm rarely on battery power, also
[03:03] <Casper0082> malcor:  I'd double check that you have /etc/samba/smb.conf setup correctly
[03:05] <snapalm> I'm just wondering if there's a command line i can use to disable this graphics driver and get the desktop to load
[03:05] <fccf> prajjwal: nautilus
[03:05] <Ollonk> fccf, I think I should be in #xubuntu, neither of those packages were installed XD

[03:09] <snapalm> Okay, I'm getting confused here so I'll try and word my problem better. To get Ubuntu to load at all I have to add 'acpi=off' to the kernal in the GRUB menu though that's not my problem right now. What I did was activate this ATI Graphics Driver to see if i could get some desktop effects to work and after restarting it would not load a GUI at all, just a command line interface.
[03:09] <varmont_> i mean in grafic like vista
[03:09] <exe> How do I get the most latest version of python installed
[03:09] <Ollonk> I'm working on it
[03:09] <fsufitch> exe, 2.6 or 3.0?
[03:09] <exe> Ubuntu has an old version, while 2.7 has been released.
[03:09] <Ollonk> after running one of the commands, I've been sitting at 1.2ghz under no CPU load
[03:10] <snapalm> i try loading recovery but i get the same problem
[03:10] <fccf> snapalm: lets fix your graphics first "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[03:10] <Ollonk> I'll finish the tut and see if it works on boot
[03:10] <MrAlexandro> THOMAS?
[03:10] <fsufitch> exe, since 2.7 isn't in the ubuntu repos, then it's not supported by the ubuntu crew. python.org probably has a way to manually install 2.7, though
[03:11] <fccf> exe: you may find a newer version in the ppa's https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
[03:11] <fsufitch> exe, it looks like 2.7 is in alpha/PEP stage. no wonder it's not supported: it doesn't exist yet!

[03:12] <stepan_> I have an old Windows 95 laptop with no CD drive.  I tried attaching an external CD rom but I can't force the system to boot it.  Any ideas?
[03:13] <graelin> 95? Can it even see it/ Thought USB was like the easter bunny in pre 98SE
[03:13] <mamo78> stepan_ the board and bios not supporting boot with external drive.. maybe
[03:14] <stepan_> graelin: yea, i'm surprised to.  and it can access the external when 95 is loaded, but not durring booting
[03:14] <Evelina> Anyone know why my python script stops working after a while while running it from within a bash loop?
[03:14] <stepan_> mamo78: any ideas?  is there any way to being the install while 95 is loaded?
[03:15] <graelin> stepan_: WUBI install? I don't know, cuz I've never looked at anything other than a usb install
[03:15] <graelin> but isn't WUBI for windows use/install?
[03:16] <w30> pornstar, have you got a small amount of memory and no swap partition?
[03:16] <Ollonk> be back in a couple minutes, rebooting
[03:16] <snapalm> oh great, I can't even get an oppotunity to type anything in the command line before it freezes...
[03:16] <stepan_> graelin: great idea.  thanks, ill give it a shot
[03:17] <_Techie_> is there a way i can set a modifier button for scrolling with my trackpad?
[03:17] <mamo78> stepan_ yup just like graelin say wubi install
[03:18] <stepan_> mamo78: will give it a shot, thanks for your help guys
[03:19] <Ollonk> :D
[03:19] <Ollonk> thanks guys
[03:19] <snapalm> something tells me I'm going to have to do a clean install. Just when I had everything set up more or less... If I cant even access the command line interface not much i can do
[03:19] <mamo78> i did use wubi to install my old laptop too
[03:19] <Ollonk> that worked like a charm
[03:19] <Ollonk> the extra 50% in CPU speed brought my boot time down even more
[03:19] <Ollonk> or not......
[03:19] <Ollonk> at the very least, performance does what it's supposed to now
[03:20] <mamo78> anyone can help me with thin client? my client freeze alot every 10-30 minutes
[03:20] <graelin> WOW... I actually helped fix something?!?!? gimme a pen and the calender
[03:20]  * Ollonk gives graelin
[03:20] <Ollonk> lol
[03:20] <Ollonk> lol uberscript
[03:20] <fccf> mamo78: could it be because the server is getting inundated and cannot take the load??
[03:20] <graelin> Quid Pro Quo... ok.. wave your magic wand and make my video capture card play nice with Freevo
[03:20] <losha>  stepan_: doesn't unetbootin provide a way to boot without requirining a cd? http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[03:21] <stepan_> mamo78: question, wubi will just stay as an addon right?  there will be no way to get rid of the windows installation after that?
[03:22] <stepan_> losha: i'll give that a try too, but i think my comp wont recognize the usb durring boot either
[03:22] <snapalm> Ah screw it, I'll just do a clean install and sort out a minor problem afterwards. Annoyingly I only have 8.04 availible to install... oh well
[03:22] <mamo78> fccf: my server is core 2 duo with 4 gig of ram. using ubuntu 9.04 and using xrdp to let the client to coonect
[03:22] <Captiosus> quick question: how would i go about flushing out the Nautilus file browser stack so it isnt sucking up a gig of memory?
[03:23] <shane2peru> snapalm: what happened?
[03:23] <losha> stepan_: one of the options with unetbootin is to allow an install from a downloaded iso direct to the hard drive, no usb, no cd-rom...
[03:23] <fccf> mamo78: the xrdp is embedded? ..
[03:23] <losha> snapalm: 8.04 is ideal. Extremely stable & trouble free...
[03:24] <stepan_> losha: cool, that should be perfect.  thanks, i will definatly try this
[03:24] <Ollonk> anyone know of a thread/faq for trimming boot time?
[03:24] <mamo78> fccf: i just install xrdp after finishing update ubuntu
[03:24] <snapalm> I suppose... I'll do it after some sleep though
[03:24] <mamo78> first 2 hour working fine then its disaster
[03:24] <snarkster> well since no one answered in kubuntu. what are your views with making the home partition ntfs to share with vista?
[03:25] <fccf> mamo79: I'm not sure I would trust 9.04 for a Thin Client Server ... 8.04 LTS is more appropriate for that kind of applicaton
[03:25] <fccf> mamo78: a little confused.... you have an embedded rdc on the Thin Client? or what is it starting from?
[03:25] <mamo78> stepan_: the windows still there
[03:26] <graelin> snarkster: I'd prefer to keep linux linux.. if you need to share data between OSes... make a share partition that is NTFS.
[03:26] <george> a
[03:26] <stepan_> mamo78: yes, windows 95 is still fully functional, but 95 being functional just means notepad and calcuator ;-)
[03:27] <snarkster> hmm well im reinstalling vista just for gaming.. very tired of fighting wine.
[03:27] <n8tuser> snarkster i dont think it will work having an ntfs as /home partition, try it
[03:28] <snarkster> ok
[03:28] <fccf> snarkster: no, ntfs permissions are different ... wouldn't work as a /home partition
[03:28] <graelin> snarkster: Also there is a possibility that NTFS won't play nice (ie. there is some suggestions that it doesn't play nice when writing to NTFS) I'd hate to hose my home dir that contains every config for all the software I run
[03:28] <pornstar> does anyone here knows how to interpret a kernel log?
[03:28] <snarkster> i wasnt sure if linux had caught up with being able to do that
[03:28] <AnirbanHazra> how to install man in Ubuntu ?
[03:28] <mamo78> fccf: im using sunde thin client (similar like ncomputing thin client), and works ok with windows but freeze alot with windows.. only 15 user login to the host. check the products on our website
[03:29] <losha> snarkster: I agree with graelin/fccf, In theory, it could work. In practice, I dunno if I trust ubuntu ntfs for long-term use, and I dunno if the permissions issue will be a deal breaker or not...
[03:29] <snarkster> yah im concerned about that to.
[03:29] <mamo78> fccf: i mean freezealot with ubuntu
[03:30] <graelin> snarkster: I've never had a problem with it, but like I said, I have a /share partition that is NTFS just in case Murphey makes an appearance.
[03:30] <mamo78> stepan_: already check it?
[03:30] <losha> pornstar: do you mean a backtrace from a crash?
[03:30] <snarkster> tho ive never had any issues with writing to ntfs Im not sure how well itll stand up to heavy use.
[03:31] <shane2peru>   snarkster i don't think that is recommened because of permissions issues
[03:31] <snarkster> yah
[03:31] <snarkster> i agree..
[03:31] <systemshock869> Can anyone help me with my wireless driver?
[03:31] <snarkster> would be nice if vista could read/write ext3
[03:31] <graelin> shane2peru: Bah... no permissions issues when you run as root all the time ;)
[03:31] <shane2peru> snarkster: plus Linux is setup to check it fs every so often on boot up, I don't think ntfs can be checked the same
[03:32] <losha> snarkster: once upon a time there was an ext2 package for windows. Dunno if such still exists....
[03:32] <fccf> mamo78: I'm really thinking you would be better off with a Long Term Support Edition of ubuntu ... xrdp will more than likely work more reliably in that environment
[03:32] <graelin> systemshock869: Broadcom chipset?
[03:32] <durt> systemshock869, please just state your question.
[03:32] <shane2peru> graelin: yeah, I guess, if that is the case you should just keep running windows. :)
[03:32] <systemshock869> graelin: no it's an atheros
[03:32] <systemshock869> graelin: I had the madwifi driver working until i updated to karmic
[03:33] <losha> systemshock869: downgrade. Seriously...
[03:33] <shane2peru> snarkster: also in case of a sudden power outage, I'm not sure how ntfs under linux would react as part of the filesystem
[03:33] <systemshock869> now my wireless card doesn't show up at all
[03:33] <fccf> !karmic | systemshock869
[03:33] <neoTheCat> is there  a way in evolution i can also have an icon in my notification bar, whether or not i have new mail, like thunderbird?
[03:33] <mamo78> fccf: 8.04 right? okay i'll try it out 1st.
[03:33] <snarkster> scrambled eggs probably
[03:33] <fccf> mamo78: yep
[03:33] <graelin> systemshock869: Welp.. I was gonna say ICK.. you're on your own and then suggest madwifi... but it looks like the koala is kickin' yer ass
[03:33] <systemshock869> Oh ok should I go to that channel?
[03:33] <systemshock869> lol
[03:34] <fccf> mamo78: better than having to reinstall 15 systems though , huh?
[03:35] <systemshock869> thanks guys i'll check out #ubuntu+1
[03:35] <pornstar> losha: yeah
[03:35] <mamo78> fccf: only one system, and the other system just using a device called thin client
[03:36] <mamo78> fccf: so all the user connect to one single system
[03:36] <fccf> mamo78:exactly
[03:36] <losha> pornstar: you could pastebin it here & we can look, but it might need a kernel geek to really tell you what's going on...
[03:36] <pornstar> losha: can i pm u with the lines?
[03:36] <Evelina> Strange, my python script stops working after a while. When I let the computer rest for a while the python script works again. I'm using a bash loop tp run the python script over and over agian. Why do the script need some rest after a while?!
[03:36] <fccf> !paste | pornstar
[03:37] <losha> pornstar: definitely not. You can pastebin it to  http://paste.ubuntu.com like all decent folk.
[03:37] <pornstar> losha: ok, its posted
[03:38] <snarkster> lol decent folk
[03:38] <mamo78> fccf: check the web i give u :D
[03:38] <losha> pornstar: now you need to tell us the url...
[03:38] <dor> A bit unrelated, but still... what should be faster: connecting to a database through an external IP, or through an "internal" VPN IP?
[03:38] <guest329104> Anyone here running on Ubuntu 9.10 beta 64 bit? I see no icons beside the text of Preferences, Administration, or any of the others. Is this normal?
[03:38] <dor> I'm setting up a development environment with the DB server sitting in a different continent
[03:38] <pornstar> losha: http://paste.ubuntu.com/288255/
[03:38] <guest329104> Usually there's the little tool icon next to preferences...
[03:39] <dor> so i need to know which way to go
[03:40] <monty_hall> Trying to update exports after adding a few entries to the export file.  freebsd "mountd onereload"  how is it done in ubuntu?
[03:40] <mralexandro> i have a friend who i convinced to install ubuntu, he has a broadcoam wifi adapter in his laptop, anyway he claim linux do not detect wifi networks. any suggestion
[03:40] <pornstar> losha: checked it yet?
[03:40] <Ollonk> I have a bug in update manager, also
[03:40] <losha> pornstar: looking now. You'd think a pornstar would have more patience...
[03:40] <Ollonk> all updates give a total of 0kb
[03:41] <pornstar> mralexandro: ubuntu does detect wifi networks
[03:41] <pornstar> losha: lol just curious
[03:41] <shane2peru> monty_hall: are you refering to nfs setup?
[03:41] <monty_hall> right
[03:41] <guest329104> Help!
[03:41] <mralexandro> pornstar, i am aware of that... i have ubuntu myself but i was looking for driver suggestions etc
[03:41] <shane2peru> monty_hall: I'm pretty sure you want this:  sudo exportfs -a
[03:42] <pornstar> mralexandro: what lappy is he using
[03:42] <monty_hall> shane2peru: worked.  Thanks very much.
[03:42] <guest329104> "This theme will not look as intended because the required icon theme 'Human' is not installed.

[03:43] <mralexandro> oh....
[03:43] <mralexandro> pornstar i meant to write your name in my text above here
[03:44] <guest329104> Anyone here running Ubuntu 9.10 beta?
[03:44] <losha> pornstar: Hmm, Bad news. Your system tried to read a block from the disk, the block was faulty so the drive tried to move (reallocate) the block to a spare block. Apparently that realloction attempt failed, so the read failed.  The fact that yours failed means the drive is unreliable. Start backing up anything you can't
[03:44] <losha> live without immediately, and then download the manufacturers diagnostic disk and run a scan. Worst case, you will need to buy a new drive....
[03:45] <pornstar> mralexandro: sorry im multitasking.. mhh sometimes its just a glitch .. what have u tried to solve the prob
[03:45] <prajjwal> guest329104, you want #ubuntu+1
[03:45] <pornstar> losha: ugh
[03:45] <pornstar> losha: thats verybad news
[03:45] <Ollonk> can anyone elaborate on this warning. I also get it in my boot-up lines
[03:45] <Ollonk> WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat, it will be ignored in a future release.
[03:45] <mralexandro> pornstar, i am looking into it. i made him install system updates, and to go into hardware drivers afterwards
[03:46] <pornstar> losha: what could've caused that
[03:46] <mralexandro> it will take some time
[03:46] <ferdynand> HOla Gente
[03:46] <losha> pornstar: no, the really bad news would be you here on this channel saying: my drive failed without any warning and I lost all my data. You actually caught a break here...
[03:46] <eli_> where is ubuntu-sendmail (apt-get installed) 's setting file about connection more 5?
[03:46] <eli_> sendmail.cf? config.cf? sendmail.mc?
[03:46] <shane2peru> !es > ferdynand
[03:47] <losha> eli_: should be a sendmail.mc setting. Don't ask me which. It's been years...
[03:47] <pornstar> losha: ill run e2fsck -f -c -v /dev/sda1
[03:48] <eli_> only sendmail.mc file? another file are?
[03:48] <pornstar> mralexandro: mhh have u tried to configure the connection manually?
[03:48] <O__o> hi pornstar
[03:48] <pornstar> O__o: hello
[03:49] <burchrs> hola
[03:49] <Ollonk> hi
[03:49] <mralexandro> pornstar, nope, i am not there
[03:49] <mralexandro> i have to send him giude
[03:49] <burchrs> first time ever on IRC
[03:49] <mralexandro> pornstar, i have found something though
[03:49] <shane2peru> !es > burchrs
[03:49] <pornstar> mralexandro: what is that
[03:49] <webbb82> i went to do a apt-get upgrade install missing and it wants to del files not install them  http://pastebin.com/m6e4ee67d     please take a look and see what you think
[03:50] <shane2peru> does anyone know how to put a directory recursively with sftp?
[03:50] <mralexandro> pornstar, lots of people with the same problem in ubuntu forums, looking for solutions there now
[03:50] <shane2peru> upload*
[03:50] <cached> say there were a program (cough, nano, cough) i wish to always run with the same flags. is there a better way to do it than writing a small c program and putting it into the path?
[03:51] <losha> pornstar: Personally, I would run 'sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda' to find the model number, then download & run the manufacturers diagnostic disk. If you don't want to do that, at least look at the SMART data for the drive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.
[03:51] <burchrs> i didn't see you private message
[03:51] <ArkoldThos> someone knows why UDMA goes so slowww?
[03:51] <shane2peru> burchrs: it was for the Spanish channel, but I see you do English too.
[03:52] <pornstar> losha: can this problem may be caused by overheating?
[03:52] <burchrs> i only speak english
[03:53] <losha> pornstar: the cause is probably nothing special. Disks just go bad, what with all those high-tolerance moving parts inside. If you've ever dropped your laptop, that doesn't help either. Overheating probably *isn't* the cause. Either way. manufactures diagnostic disk...
[03:53] <pornstar> mralexandro: what happens when u plug the modem directly to ethernet
[03:54] <pornstar> losha: i always take very good care of my computers...
[03:54] <mralexandro> pornstar, he is on internet with lan, if that is what you ment
[03:54] <losha> pornstar: what can I tell you. Disks go bad. Every day. Like teenagers with drug problems...
[03:54] <pornstar> mralexandro: mhh weird.. ive had that problem before but for me its just kind of a glitch
[03:55] <IdleOne> !ot
[03:55] <mralexandro> pornstar, what do you mean with a glitch?
[03:55] <Adola> Does anyone have Plymouth working for Karmic Koala?
[03:56] <IdleOne> Adola: ask in #ubuntu+1 for karmic
[03:56] <fearful> !karmic | Adola
[03:56] <pornstar> mralexandro: it doesnt displays correctly on the screen but after a few attempts it works
[03:56] <_Techie_> does ubuntu delete files fully or send them to a trash folder?
[03:57] <Doc_Lappy> anybody ever use the password thing on grub?
[03:57] <pornstar> mralexandro: i suppose you've tried to turn wifi on and off with your laptop switch, reseting the modem etc..
[03:57] <Doc_Lappy> sends them to trash
[03:57] <fccf> _Techie_: trash folder
[03:57] <Doc_Lappy> then have to del from there
[03:57] <mralexandro> pornstar, at least he say hi did, but i guess he should try some more
[03:57] <_Techie_> fccf, how can i look in the trash folder, or configure it to just delete
[03:58] <losha> Doc_Lappy: what, grub problems aren't difficult enough to debug *without* a password?
[03:58] <sako> Hi all, is anyone else experiencing a bug in which mouse clicks do not work on gtk apps?
[03:58] <sako> it is inconsistent
[03:58] <mralexandro> pornstar, think i will ask him to get in here via xchat
[03:59] <Doc_Lappy> I'm looking at google and my terminal for setting up a password to get into winblows thru grub, has anybody done this and is it a good idea to do so
[03:59] <administrator_> hello there, is there any good alternative to irc client x-chat ?
[03:59] <sako> Sometimes I click on a button and it gets stuck on the clicked position..
[03:59] <fccf> /home/user/.local/share/Trash or /root/.local/share/Trash if deleted as root
[03:59] <hanzoomon4> irssi is great
[03:59] <Doc_Lappy> I'm afraid I might screw it up is all and not be able to get in if I do it wrong for one
[03:59] <Flannel> administrator_: There are.  What don't you like about xchat?
[03:59] <scunizi> administrator_: you'll hear that irssi is one of the best.... it is! :)
[04:00] <Doc_Lappy> irssi is better than bitchx in my opinion, more user friendly anyway till youo get cmds down
[04:00] <fccf> _Techie_: see 6 lines up

[04:30] <Ollonk> I want some information about IO APIC
[04:31] <Ollonk> I'm trying to find out if A: My single CPU dell board has it and B: If I can turn it off or fix it to get a faster boot
[04:31] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[04:31] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[04:31] <D-coy> no hao
[04:31] <D-coy> ni*
[04:31] <ShapeShifter499> I nearly messed up my grub
[04:32] <acu> suddenly the flashplayer does not have sound - all sounds on other applications are ok= I have non-free flash - any hints how to get the sound back ?
[04:32] <scunizi> Ollonk: there is a way to turn it off.. in the kernel line on the grub boot menu.. at the end I seem to remember adding acpi=no or off
[04:33] <Ollonk> thanks I'll look at that
[04:33] <Ollonk> because my CPU is old as the hills and every delay is a pain
[04:33] <scunizi> Ollonk: also in the bios there should be a switch
[04:33] <underdog1227> can someone please tell me the best virtual machine software to install windows 7 or xp?
[04:34] <Ollonk> I'm on a dell latitude from 2002ish
[04:34] <Ollonk> no APIC anything in the bios
[04:34] <scunizi> underdog1227: virtualbox is fast, effective and easy.. get it from their site though for usb support.. their help channel is #vbox
[04:34] <ShapeShifter499> in the last hour I crashed grub, tried to fix  grub, and had to install a new ubuntu onto a new partition in order to get grub to see my ubuntu system, now how to I delete the ubuntu system I had to install to fix my grub and keep my grub intact?
[04:35] <m4rt11> hey can someone help me with my problem, i cant compile anything with anjuta saying i need glib but i installed everything that is glib and it still doesnt work
[04:35] <underdog1227> scunizi: thx!  is it free?
[04:35] <Ollonk> I've dealt with puppy, i think it's off not no
[04:35] <Ollonk> oh wait
[04:35] <Ollonk> ACPI is not APIC
[04:36] <scunizi> underdog1227: it's classified as "no cost" however it does have some non-free codecs in it.. download install and you'll be up and running in no time.
[04:36] <underdog1227> scunizi: thk u!!
[04:36] <scunizi> ShapeShifter499: if you had installed with a separate /home partition for your data you could have reinstalled the entire system and kept your /home intact
[04:37] <chai_> how do i remove my splash screen?
[04:37] <scunizi> ShapeShifter499: if you know the partitions containing the older install you can use gparted and delete them
[04:37] <webbb82> what irc client is everyone useing
[04:37] <chai_> webbb82: XChat
[04:37] <scunizi> webbb82: there's a wide variety used here.. xchat, weechat, irssi (favorite) etc
[04:38] <webbb82> im useing pidgin rite now but thinkin about looking for a better one
[04:38] <ShapeShifter499> scunizi: huh? after what I did I have 2 swap partitions and two ubuntu system partitions, I now just want to get rid of one
[04:38] <Ollonk> xchat
[04:38] <scunizi> webbb82: pidgin isn't great for irc.. for a gui based one xchat (not xchat-gnome) is a favorite
[04:39] <Ollonk> I'm using xchat that's packaged with xubuntu
[04:39] <m4rt11> hey can someone help me with my problem, i cant compile anything with anjuta saying i need glib but i installed everything that is glib and it still doesnt work can someone help me with my issue?
[04:39] <chai_> im gonna try irssi now
[04:39] <Ollonk> love it
[04:39] <Ollonk> that plus uberscript
[04:39] <Comrade_Tuttle> Hey, I'm having permission errors when I try to play a DVD in Movieplayer. I do have permissions for the cdrom drive, I've used it to install Doom 3 and UT2004
[04:40] <scunizi> ShapeShifter499: one install.. that means getting rid of 1 swap and the old install partition.. next time you install do the partitions manually and create 1 swap (1-2gig), 1 root (8-12gig) and the rest /home
[04:40] <DeathFox> on my top panel i accidently deleted the applications menu i readded it but it wont go all the way over
[04:40] <DeathFox> how do i move it
[04:40] <webbb82> whats uberscript
[04:40] <ShapeShifter499> scunizi: no, no I want to keep the swap partition
[04:40] <ShapeShifter499> scunizi: *partitions
[04:41] <scunizi> ShapeShifter499: you just said that you have 2.. you don't need 2.. in fact it might cause problems having 2
[04:41] <Comrade_Tuttle> Sorry forgot to add, when ever I try to play the dvd in Movieplayer, it say's permission denied.
[04:41] <ShapeShifter499> scunizi: I had 2 before I messed up my grub boot
[04:42] <ShapeShifter499> scunizi: so 2 seems to be ok on my comp
[04:42] <scunizi> ShapeShifter499: that doesn't change what the recommendation is
[04:42] <artistxe> anyone here having slowdown problems with blender ?
[04:42] <ShapeShifter499> scunizi: what problems could I have?
[04:42] <dida> hi all, i'd like to move basedir to somwhere else rather than the default location
[04:42] <scunizi> ShapeShifter499: but only one will be used.. look in /etc/fstab and you'll only see one listed and used by your current functional install.. the other is just wasted space
[04:43] <ZykoticK9> Comrade_Tuttle, try running the following in a terminal and see what error you get, might give a clue "mplayer dvd://1
[04:43] <dida> i stop the service,
[04:43] <dida> copy the default dir to where i want it
[04:43] <ShapeShifter499> scunizi: but both are used
[04:43] <dida> and then edit the my.cnf
[04:43] <ZykoticK9> Comrade_Tuttle, ignore the "
[04:43] <scunizi> ShapeShifter499: no
[04:43] <dida> but i can't restart it
[04:43] <losha> ShapeShifter499: it's ok to have multiple swap partitions. But unless you *need* them both, it's a waste of valuable disk space...
[04:43] <ShapeShifter499> scunizi: yea
[04:44] <scunizi> ShapeShifter499: I seriously doubt it..
[04:44] <dida> i check /var/log/myql/*log there's no information why it failed
[04:44] <dida> can anyone help me with this?
[04:44] <Comrade_Tuttle> ZykoticK9: http://paste.ubuntu.com/288282/
[04:45] <losha> ShapeShifter499: wanna start by pastebinning the output from sudo fdisk -l so we can see what you have?
[04:45] <ShapeShifter499> sure
[04:45] <ZykoticK9> Comrade_Tuttle, did it also start playing?  that looks like a good log.
[04:46] <crouchingpenguin> i am trying to compile mono in order to install galaxium. finally got all the dependencies and i seem to be hanging on some sort of linker error when i try to make it. it stalls and prints error 2. any ideas?
[04:46] <ZykoticK9> crouchingpenguin, "error 2" doesn't help -- not the important part.  can you pastbin the output?
[04:47] <Comrade_Tuttle> ZykoticK9: Now I can't even open the dvd in Movieplayer. It will start up then suddenly close.
[04:47] <ZykoticK9> Comrade_Tuttle, did it work with mplayer?
[04:47] <crouchingpenguin> will be a minute
[04:48] <ZykoticK9> crouchingpenguin, fyi i have no idea on your mono compile error - just pointing out the channel needed more info
[04:48] <KYO2>  algun p2p que conecte con la red de ares
[04:48] <ShapeShifter499> scunizi , losha : here is the output of fdisk------> http://pastebin.com/m2f19f28
[04:48] <Comrade_Tuttle> ZykoticK9: One sec, I need to restart. The whole system is acting weird
[04:49] <scunizi> !p2p > KYO2
[04:49] <scunizi> ShapeShifter499: well you certainly have 2 listed.. how you sys will react to that is another question..
[04:50] <ShapeShifter499> scunizi: taking a look at system monitor it shows 4.3 gigs of swap ram
[04:51] <scunizi> losha: what do you think about ShapeShifter499 's swap scenerio?
[04:52] <ShapeShifter499> scunizi , losha : the swap partitions aren't the problem, grub is
[04:52] <scunizi> ShapeShifter499: so what's the deal with grub.. I missed that.. does it list both installs?
[04:53] <losha> scunizi: it's perfectly legal to have multiple swap partitions, though in ShapeShifter499's particular case it seems pointless, since they are contiguous, so you could combine them, but it's legal and supported. Most people end up with extra swap partitions when they add RAM later and need to add extra swap to support it.
[04:53] <ShapeShifter499> scunizi , losha : I had to install a fresh ubuntu 9.04 system in order to run my old ubuntu partition, now I can get back onto my old ubuntu partition again I want to knock out the newer ubuntu partition for space
[04:54] <losha> ShapeShifter499: So I presume the extra install is the one on /dev/sda7 ?
[04:54] <Kcsrnd> I got my modem recognized by Gnome-PPP.  I get a dialtone, it dials and connects, but it hangs up right when it should be authenticating user/pass.  What am I doing wrong?
[04:54] <Kcsrnd> i'm running jaunty
[04:55] <lolyea> me too
[04:55] <scunizi> ShapeShifter499: so we're back to gparted to delete the partitions you don't need and then edit grub to eliminate the references to the deleted system.
[04:55] <scunizi> ShapeShifter499: grub menu is at /boot/grub/menu.list
[04:55] <Comrade_Tuttle> ZykoticK9: Okay, the error I get is a box that says "Can not read from Resource."
[04:55] <Jordan_U> ShapeShifter499: scunizi Be careful that grub may stop working when you delete the second install
[04:56] <ZykoticK9> Comrade_Tuttle, you never answered - did it work with that mplayer command?
[04:56] <Comrade_Tuttle> no it only brought up the log
[04:56] <losha> ShapeShifter499: please answer my question...
[04:56] <ShapeShifter499> scunizi , losha : I had to install a fresh ubuntu 9.04 system in order to run my old ubuntu partition, now I can get back onto my old ubuntu partition again I want to knock out the newer ubuntu partition for space
[04:56] <tacky12> Can I use a WinModem with 9.04?
[04:56] <scunizi> ShapeShifter499: Jordan_U possibly.. reinstalling grub correctly should fix that..
[04:56] <ShapeShifter499> opps
[04:56] <ZykoticK9> Comrade_Tuttle, cause the log said it was playing...
[04:57] <Comrade_Tuttle> ZykoticK9: mplayer never opened
[04:57] <ShapeShifter499> sorry I activated my irc history type option
[04:57] <Jordan_U> scunizi: It's probably better to get grub ( the mbr portion ) pointing to the new install first, then deleting the second
[04:57] <ZykoticK9> Comrade_Tuttle, what program are you trying to play it in?
[04:57] <scunizi> ShapeShifter499: happens to the best of us :)
[04:57] <Xcell> tacky12-  from experience a serial modem is best.. many brands but zoom works fine
[04:57] <crouchingpenguin> okay its postbinned, sorry never really used a support room before. what now?
[04:58] <ZykoticK9> crouchingpenguin, we need the link to it
[04:58] <scunizi> Jordan_U: I think it is.. perhaps using the menu.list from the new install in the old will remedy that.
[04:58] <Comrade_Tuttle> ZykoticK9: The stock Movie Player program that comes with 9.04
[04:58] <ZykoticK9> Comrade_Tuttle, what's it called exactly in the menu?
[04:58] <ShapeShifter499> scunizi , losha , Jordan_U : So what do I do to get rid of the ubuntu partition I do not want, and keep the one I do??
[04:58] <Comrade_Tuttle> ZykoticK9: Movie Player
[04:59] <crouchingpenguin> http://www.pastebin.com/d176c7622
[04:59] <losha> ShapeShifter499: you start by answering my question...
[04:59] <m4rt11> hey can someone help me with my problem, i cant compile anything with anjuta saying i need glib but i installed everything that is glib and it still doesnt work can someone help me with my issue?
[05:00] <Comrade_Tuttle> ZykoticK9: Applications=> Sound & Video=> Movie Player
[05:00] <ZykoticK9> Comrade_Tuttle, see I don't have that in my menu (i probably removed it) , i do have an "Mplayer Movie Player" but not just a "Movie Player" (it's probably totem or some such thing which I don't use - and would be no help with at all)
[05:00] <ShapeShifter499> losha the partition I want is at sda1 and the one I do not want is at sda7
[05:01] <ShapeShifter499> losha I'm currently at ubuntu on sda1
[05:01] <Comrade_Tuttle> ZykoticK9: I think it may be based off of Totem, what would be a decent dvd player to try out?
[05:01] <Jordan_U> ShapeShifter499: Do you have a LiveCD in case something goes wrong?
[05:01] <Jordan_U> scunizi: *pointing to the old install/ the one she wants to keep
[05:01] <isleshocky771> Been searching around the internet and can't get sound to work through Hdmi. Could someone lend a hand?
[05:01] <ShapeShifter499> I have 5 of them
[05:01] <scunizi> Jordan_U_: yes
[05:01] <ShapeShifter499> Jordan_U: I have 5 of them
[05:02] <guest329104> Anyone here have an X-Fi?
[05:02] <ZykoticK9> Comrade_Tuttle, I'm afraid for me it's all mplayer - but i mostly use it from cli or scripts, but I guess I kinda like smplayer for a front end...  but lots of people prefer vlc
[05:02] <subone> I just installed VLC and any video I try to play in it shows squished into the left side and black and white. Like this: http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/402/vlcproblem.png
[05:03] <sandip> hello
[05:03] <wizzo50> How comes I can't get Adobe flash player 10 to run for farkle in my facebook
[05:04] <ZykoticK9> subone, change the output to GL or something from your current X11!
[05:04] <sandip> is there anyway to recover some files that i deleted accidently
[05:04] <guest329104> wizzo50: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[05:04] <Comrade_Tuttle> ZykoticK9: I'm running synaptic and the actual program name is Mplayer Movie Player
[05:04] <guest329104> Anyone here have an X-Fi?
[05:04] <ShapeShifter499> scunizi , losha , Jordan_U : hello?
[05:05] <ZykoticK9> sandip, if you deleted it from command line and your using ext3 probably not... sorry to break bad news.  if it was in gui check the trash
[05:05] <shawn_> I desperately need some help with Virtual Box.... WHen I run my VM it boots up and tehn as soon as it boots up it minimizes and I cant get it to display on the screen but I can see the process is still running
[05:05] <losha> ShapeShifter499: thank you. So the only thing you need to save is the data on /dev/sda1. I would a) delete every partition except /dev/sda1. b) Shrink /dev/sda1 as small as possible, c) Add a new partition for /home d) add a new, single 4G swap partition at the end of the disk. You will need to update the uuids in /boot/grub/menu.lst and also /etc/fstab to boot & swap from the correct new partitions....
[05:05] <ZykoticK9> Comrade_Tuttle, might only be in the medibuntu repo?!?
[05:06] <ZykoticK9> shawn_, did you try and enable seemless mode?  cause when i do that - i get the same problem your having...
[05:06] <sandip_> hello
[05:06] <mjavzer> Hallo
[05:06] <ShapeShifter499> losha: couldn't I just keep the current sda1 and delete sda7 and then somehow reinstall grub?
[05:06] <sandip_> is there any way to recover files
[05:06] <Comrade_Tuttle> ZykoticK9: So I found out its not opening it in Mplayer. I have a program called Movie Player and Mplayer (no idea why). I'm trying to just open in Mplayer to see if it will play
[05:06] <shawn_> zykoticK9 What is the key command to disable it Ill try doing that while it boots up next
[05:06] <losha> ShapeShifter499: if that's all too much trouble, why not just wipe /dev/sda7 use it as /home ?
[05:06] <sandip_> i deleted few files 3 hours ago
[05:06] <ZykoticK9> shawn_, no idea...
[05:07] <sandip_> i need them back
[05:07] <ZykoticK9> shawn_, i ended up having to kill mine from the Virtualbox window
[05:07] <losha> ShapeShifter499: no need to reinstall grub. Just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to remove the entry pointing to /dev/sda7
[05:07] <scunizi> ShapeShifter499: losha or if there's no real data to save then just reinstall wiping the entire drive and manually setup the partitions correctly
[05:07] <subone> ZykoticK9: changing the output module has no effect
[05:07] <shawn_> ZykoticK9 Ive restarted it like 10 times now..
[05:07] <losha> scunizi: well there's presumably data on /dev/sda1 as /home is there currently....
[05:08] <ShapeShifter499> scunizi , losha , Jordan_U : hold on guys, brb
[05:08] <ZykoticK9> subone, can you post another screenshot?
[05:08] <crouchingpenguin> was there enough data in that paste or no?
[05:08] <subone> that wasn't my screenshot, but it is the same problem
[05:08] <scunizi> losha: yea.. maybe.. kinda sounded like a fresh install to begin with..
[05:08] <subone> ZykoticK9: just a moment
[05:08] <sandesh> hey
[05:08] <wizzo50> guest329104: Thanks, now after running that I tried to run Farkle again in Firefox, Facebook and I still just get a green box and no commands in the spaces below it
[05:09] <ZykoticK9> crouchingpenguin, sorry could you try posting it again - i hadn't noticed you'd posted it and it now says expired
[05:09] <losha> scunizi: I didn't want to assume that. ShapeShifter499 will come back and tell us hopefully...
[05:09] <subone> ZykoticK9: this is an actual screenshot i took yesterday
[05:09] <subone> ZykoticK9: http://imagebin.org/66615
[05:09] <gwinbee> does anyone happen to know if renaming a symlink will break it?
[05:09] <gwinbee> i'm very new to this whole symlinking thing.
[05:09] <ZykoticK9> subone, it's still running x11!
[05:10] <ZykoticK9> subone, oh -- take a new one
[05:10] <subone> as i said, changing the output module has no effect
[05:10] <wizzo50> guest329104: It still won't load after running what you said
[05:10] <losha> gwinbee: you should be able to rename (mv) a symlink without problems...
[05:11] <gwinbee> losha: ok, thank you
[05:11] <subone> ZykoticK9: with opengl selected?
[05:11] <ZykoticK9> subone, yup
[05:11] <sandip_> is there any way to recover some file. actually i deleted a picture from my desktop.. some how all the files present on the desktop got selected n i performes shift+del. i need to recover a document file that was there.. is there any way? kindly help
[05:11] <crouchingpenguin> ZykoticK9: okay reposted @ http://pastebin.com/m683b0f8e
[05:12] <ZykoticK9> crouchingpenguin, the lines 57 - 61 are the issue --- i'd see if there is a mono channel for this (WAY over my head)
[05:12] <losha> sandip_: if you haven't emptied your trash, it's probably still in there....
[05:12] <Jordan_U> losha: Since grub ( stage 1 ) is probably pointing to the partition he is going to remove he does need to reinstall grub
[05:12] <sandip_> losha: there is nothing in the trash
[05:12] <shawn_> Yeah it is that my machine is trying to go into seamless mode... Is there a way to stop it from starting up this way
[05:13] <crouchingpenguin> thanks anyway ^.^
[05:13] <sandip_> it was a shift+delete action
[05:13] <subone> ZykoticK9: http://imagebin.org/66717
