[20:01] <zimbres> Slart, Yes, but it didn'd copy.
[20:01] <archman> guys anyone updated new kernel headers that are available in update manager? i'm new in updating, so i wanna make sure everything will be ok...
[20:01] <zimbres> *didn't
[20:01] <Ricardo777> Ok, here I go....brb....
[20:01] <dremits> no such directory
[20:01] <Slart> zimbres: ok, try cp -r <dir1> <dir2>
[20:01] <nbeebo> how to change /home-folder ?
[20:01] <Ricardo777> burning....

[20:02] <burkmat> nbeebo, usermod
[20:02] <nbeebo> hmmm ok
[20:02] <t-nor> hi is it possible to configure apt-get to set a different install directory ?
[20:03] <Scunizi> t-nor: inistallation directories is determined by the package not apt
[20:03] <t-nor> Scunizi: that what i tought, thank you
[20:03] <Jockeo> I run Gutsy Gibbon. I've added a new repository to install an application (winff). When trying to install in Synaptic I get "Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>=2.14.1) but 2.12.0-1ubuntu3 is to be installed". It seems like I cannot get a newer version of libgtk2.0 since I run Gutsy. Do I have to upgrade to Intrepid to fix this?
[20:03] <Scunizi> t-nor: and it's not a single directory a package goes into most of the time.
[20:03] <jp_sf> t-nor:   /etc/apt/sources.list
[20:04] <jp_sf> t-nor:  sorry Scunizi is right I have misread your question
[20:04] <cozza>  Hello would anybody be able to assist me with my graphics driver on my laptop? Please?
[20:04] <_b_r_a_d_> Scunizi - renaming the .mozilla to .mozilla.backup seems to have resolved my issue, many thanks.  Any insight into what was going on, corrupt prefs?
[20:05] <squarebracket> i think i just deleted my "my documents" folder on my windows hard drive when trying to create a shortcut over on the left of nautilus..... help somebody?
[20:05] <archman> presshere you tried?
[20:05] <Scunizi> _b_r_a_d_: if your system is an upgrade it could be a plugin.. you can change the name back and reload then delete or remove all the plugins that are loaded.. or just export your bookmarks etc so you can use the fresh one. :)
[20:05] <tul_> squarebracket: perhaps you've just copied it to some win folder
[20:06] <burkmat> !anyone | cozza
[20:06]  * robin0800 test
[20:06] <Scunizi> robin0800: pong
[20:06] <squarebracket> tul_, it prompted me something about trash and i hit cancel, but then it disappeared anyways :S
[20:07] <tul_> squarebracket: you're running ubuntu now?
[20:07] <squarebracket> tul_, yes
[20:07] <tul_> and what exactly did you do?
[20:07] <cmwslw> I accidentally deleted my filesystem with sudo
[20:07] <cmwslw> what should I do?
[20:08] <^A^kira> hellp
[20:08] <Voltron> cmwslw , reinstall ?
[20:08] <mib_dbln7d> hi
[20:08] <burkmat> cmwslw, Define "delete your filesystem"?
[20:08] <Slart> cmwslw: you deleted the root ?
[20:08] <burkmat> !hi | mib_dbln7d
[20:08] <^A^kira> some1 know how to see/check SN/IDnum of SDcard?
[20:08] <Flux_teh_Fox> XD sudo rm -f /
[20:08] <squarebracket> tul_, i wanted to create a shortcut on the left of nautilus, you know along with drives and stuff. so i dragged my documents over to the left, like i've done before. but i guess i had it over trash, cuz it prompted me something about trash, so i hit cancel.
[20:08] <blackjak> does anyone know what the module b44 is for?
[20:08] <squarebracket> tul_, and then it disappeared...
[20:08] <mib_dbln7d> can someone pm me with help on downloading distros from one comp to another. Staff perferably
[20:08] <burkmat> Flux_teh_Fox, doesn't ubuntu say "no!" when you try to do that? also... -r would be needed. :p
[20:09] <Slart> Flux_teh_Fox: refrain from even mentioning such commands here.. there's always someone that just has to try it
[20:09] <_b_r_a_d_> I may have spoken too soon.  After renaming .mozilla to .mozilla.backup google.com and yahoo.com came up right away, even got signed into my yahoo mail account, but as soon as I click on inbox, it starts timing out again.  Just so you know, when this was a windows box, it had to use virtual IRQ ports because of too many usb ports on the box, don't know if that has anything to do with the problems I'm having with the connectivity rught now
[20:09] <Flux_teh_Fox> Ok, sorry
[20:09] <Voltron> blackjakhttp://hardware4linux.info/module/b44/:
[20:09] <mib_dbln7d> lol
[20:09] <burkmat> blackjak, Well... B43 runs my Broadcom BCM4306.
[20:09] <blackjak> awesome 10x
[20:09] <tul_> squarebracket: if you put it in trash so its in the trashbin folder.
[20:09] <burkmat> Ah, nevermind. :)
[20:10] <hocine21> hello body !
[20:10] <squarebracket> tul_, no i think it was the "too big for trash bin" prompt. it's not in the trash bin
[20:10] <tul_> squarebracket: if not you probobly just erased the link.
[20:10] <SiDi> Hello hocine21.
[20:10] <tul_> search the folder with the search option
[20:10] <noon> how do i remove something i added with update-rc.d <script> defaults ?
[20:11] <ShoesLife> Scunizi: thanks anyway.
[20:11] <blackjak> is it normal network manager not to recognize rausb0 interface
[20:11] <burkmat> noon, check `man update-rc.d`
[20:11] <Princess_Ludwig> bonsoir
[20:12] <SiDi> Hello Princess_Ludwig. Try #ubuntu-fr for french support ;)
[20:12] <Princess_Ludwig> sorry wrong language on the wrong chan :D
[20:13] <gotcha> hallo
[20:13] <_b_r_a_d_> any further troubleshooting help for my wireless or firefox issues, or ways to help narrow down where the problem is?
[20:13] <Scunizi> ShoesLife: I hope you find the answer
[20:13] <Zerocool947> How do I take extra choices off of the boot menu when I start my laptop?
[20:13] <SiDi> burkmat, it should be in /etc/rc3.d or rc6.d
[20:13] <SiDi> Princess_Ludwig, no problem ;)
[20:13] <blizzle> Zerocool947, sudo aptitude install startupmanager
[20:13] <Princess_Ludwig> ^^
[20:13] <squarebracket> tul_, it is not in the trash bin.
[20:14] <tul_> squarebracket: ok have you searched it?
[20:14] <squarebracket> tul_, no. should i search through my linux partition or my windows?
[20:14] <Zerocool947> blizzle, Isn't there a way to do it by just changing the text in a file?
[20:14] <tul_> start with the linux one.
[20:15] <blizzle> Zerocool947, Do yourself a favour. Use startupmanager.
[20:15] <SiDi> Zerocool947, you mean all the lines on grub ? They're written in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:15] <blizzle> Zerocool947, You'll find startupmanager provides other compelling features.
[20:16] <SiDi> Zerocool947, though it's better to keep the lines, if one day you have a problem with the latest kernel, you can still boot on an old one listed in the menu
[20:16] <geirha> Zerocool947: the best way is to uninstall the kernel-packages you don't need though. Uninstalling a kernel removes it from the list
[20:16] <_b_r_a_d_> also, tried renaming .mozilla to .mozilla.backup[1] again, this time it did not work right away, I have no idea how to narrow down where the problem is
[20:17] <aixenv> so i read about some ppl having issues with sound after switching to intrepid, i had issues with flash in FF, fixed it, by adding a nonfree pkg, but now im back to no sound in FF with flash/youtube any ideas?
[20:17] <SiDi> _b_r_a_d_, what is your wireless problem exactly ?
[20:17] <geirha> *from the menu
[20:17] <blizzle> aixenv, Sure, uninstall and then reinstall Flash (10).
[20:18] <kb3ien> i'm trying to get Order Allow,Deny not to generate "Invaid command 'order'..." seems i need mod_authz_host but apt-get cannot find it.
[20:18] <kb3ien> any one here with some apache22 experience?
[20:18] <aixenv> hrm o ill try that
[20:18] <_b_r_a_d_> SiDi - I am getting timeouts with a wireless USB adapter about 95% of the time.  But it just seems to be in the browser, I can still dig sites, run updates, and connect to servers for playing games, etc...renamed .mozilla to .mozilla.backup, seemed to work the first time, second time it didn't work very well
[20:19] <burkmat> kb3ien, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_access.html  ?
[20:19] <_b_r_a_d_> I can connect to and authenticate with my WAP, no problem
[20:19] <squarebracket> oh thank god i found it
[20:19] <illbeatu> why is firefox not working in ubuntu?
[20:19] <hoonteke> yaey, we're busy today, even for #ubuntu ->  >1500 people in the room.
[20:19] <kb3ien> mod access seems missing from libapache2-mod-*
[20:19] <illbeatu> i try to bookmark and nothing is happening
[20:19] <illbeatu> i try to view flash video
[20:19] <illbeatu> i have the plugin and it says i don't
[20:19] <illbeatu> why is ubuntu so full of bugs
[20:19] <SiDi> _b_r_a_d_, and with midori / opera / konqueror, does it run well ?
[20:20] <kb3ien> it moved ages ago, not that it seems to affect legacy 2.0 or 1.x installs.
[20:20] <Oxygenfad> Hey guys, when I vbox ubuntu the internet wont work. On my HOST and GUEST. I have a USB wifi card built in on my lap top. How do I fix this problem ?
[20:20] <SiDi> _b_r_a_d_, do you have proxy settings in your firefox preferences ?
[20:20] <squarebracket> OXYGENFAD?!?
[20:20] <Oxygenfad> lol
[20:20] <Oxygenfad> Yes
[20:20] <squarebracket> =D
[20:20] <_b_r_a_d_> I haven't tried any other browser,s tried to install opera with a sudo apt-get install opera, but came back as on orphaned package
[20:20]  * squarebracket is a fan
[20:20] <burkmat> !enter | illbeatu
[20:20] <_b_r_a_d_> checking if I have proxy settings
[20:20] <hoonteke> question, I'm running intrepid right now.  How do I get older versions of OpenOffice?  I've found what I think is a bug, but it's obscure enough and deals with transitions from older OOo.  I'd like to make sure it's recreatabel ...
[20:20] <burkmat> illbeatu, How did you install it?
[20:20] <Oxygenfad> hahaha awesome thanks man :D
[20:20] <SiDi> _b_r_a_d_, opera is proprietary, it's not in the repository. Try "midori"
[20:21] <illbeatu> i first tried from the adobe site, then i tried from package manager
[20:21] <illbeatu> none of them work.
[20:21] <squarebracket> my pleasure =]
[20:21] <illbeatu> it also appears all my bookmarks have been erased
[20:21] <burkmat> illbeatu, What package? What Ubuntu?
[20:21] <_b_r_a_d_> will try midori -- my connection settings have "Use system proxy settings"
[20:21] <illbeatu> 8.04, the flash player package...
[20:21] <kb3ien> any ideas?
[20:22] <illbeatu> great. now I have a Failed to check for installed and available applications error
[20:22] <illbeatu> i wish open source wasn't so much marketing. and more stable software.
[20:23] <burkmat> illbeatu, "The flash player package"? Nonfree? or from the adobe repos?
[20:23] <kb3ien> nevermind, authz host was installed by apache2 package (really apache2.2)
[20:23] <_b_r_a_d_> oh, one other thing I noticed is that while most apps can use my network connection, wine-doors fails to detect network settings, it's almost as if some apps can see it, some can't, and some are randomly seeing it
[20:23] <illbeatu> i tried both burkmat
[20:23] <illbeatu> the one that is "offical ubuntu"
[20:23] <kb3ien> the installer made such a dogpile of the standard install i just mved it all out the way...
[20:23] <illbeatu> and the .deb file that adobe site lets you download
[20:23] <Ricardo777> ok finished burning.
[20:24] <jelly-bean> i can't find the php binary on my ubuntu setup. it's a stock installation. it came with php5 and apache2 installed and mysql5. which mysql works but which php doesnt return anything. where is it?
[20:24] <burkmat> illbeatu, what does `lsb_release -a | grep Codename` output?
[20:24] <thomc> What command should I use to list all drives attached to my system, even those that aren't mounted?
[20:24] <burkmat> thomc, `fdisk -l` perhaps what you need?
[20:24] <Dillizar> !firefox
[20:24] <illbeatu> no lsb modules available
[20:25] <aixenv> blizzie: i did that , uninstalles flashplugin-nonfree, and then reinstalled, closed and reopened FF same issue
[20:25] <osed> i'm tryin to play an mp3 file in ubuntu with rhythm box and it's playin it but i dont hear any audio. my volume is turned up though. any ideas?
[20:25] <burkmat> !who | illbeatu
[20:25] <Ricardo777> I really hope & pray it works this time.
[20:25] <burkmat> illbeatu, but it has to say something else too?
[20:25] <thomc> burkmat, thanks.
[20:25] <illbeatu> hardy
[20:25] <burkmat> thomc, no probs.
[20:25] <Ricardo777> I'm probably going to first check for defects to see.
[20:26] <Ricardo777> be back later.
[20:26] <Ricardo777> & thanks.
[20:26] <Elive_user18> hey guys - quick question: esd works under root but regular user gives me following errors:  esd - ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0' ...
[20:26] <jelly-bean> ah looks like i was missing: sudo apt-get install php5-cli
[20:26] <illbeatu> it also appears my firefox back and forward buttons are non-functional
[20:26] <_b_r_a_d_> Okay, midori seems to be working okay, but a little slow
[20:27] <burkmat> illbeatu, I have no idea what you've done to that poor computer but you seem to have properly jammed things into the engine... Might i suggest you reinstall with Intrepid?
[20:27] <Veratyr9> !chmod
[20:27] <hoonteke> Elive_user18:  make sure that you've got permission on the device, or are in the necessary group.  'audio' is the group, I think
[20:28] <hoonteke> on the other hand, may I ask why you need esd?
[20:28] <B10S> no winamp for ubuntu?
[20:28] <hoonteke> I've found pulseaudio to be fairly excellent for my needs
[20:28] <hoonteke> B10S: not the program winamp, unless you use wine
[20:28] <hoonteke> but Ubuntu does have other options
[20:28] <SiDi> _b_r_a_d_, then its firefox's proxy settings, or a plugin
[20:28] <ratinacage78> can someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me?! i'm stuck in 800x600 resolution after install.
[20:28] <hoonteke> Applications -> Sound & Video
[20:28] <B10S> dont want wine, just yet
[20:28] <SiDi> _b_r_a_d_, do you have torbutton plugin or something similar ?
[20:28] <illbeatu> so... is there any way so ubuntu does NOT screw up again while doing normal operations?
[20:29] <aixenv> btw i found a fix
[20:29] <hoonteke> B10S: there's also amarok, which may be more similar to itunes than winamp
[20:29] <rhosigma> hello everyone
[20:29] <burkmat> !please | ratinacage78
[20:29] <hoonteke> B10S: or rhythmbox
[20:29] <illbeatu> i see a slew of bugs when i type "sudo ubuntu bug"
[20:29] <hoonteke> rhythmbox, I suppose is more for the gnome desktop
[20:29] <hoonteke> and amarok for the KDE
[20:29] <hoonteke> but i use amarok anyway
[20:29] <B10S> can you stream your playlist with shoutcast?
[20:29] <_b_r_a_d_> I don't have anything custom installed into firefox, SiDi -- but my system that's having the problem just locked up, I'm going to restart it
[20:29] <illbeatu> when i google for sudo ubuntu bugs i see a lot
[20:29] <aixenv> http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/11/fix-for-no-sound-issue-in-ubuntu-810.html
[20:29] <newmember> ratinacage78: how much RAM do you have on your video card?
[20:30] <_b_r_a_d_> I'm going to do some googling based on narrowing this down.  I'll be back when I'm hitting my head against the wall some more
[20:30] <vexue> got a stupid problem with this wireless key and mouse
[20:30] <burkmat> illbeatu, to be fair... 2,5 million hits "ubuntu bug", 156 mil "windows bug"...
[20:31] <vexue> when i goto web sites and scoll down it is like on automatic and just flys down the page
[20:31] <vexue> anyone have this happen to you
[20:31] <Elive_user18> ohh nice... yes, adding users group to audio solved esd problem... but unfortunatly xmms cannot still connect to it. it tells me 'please check if snd card conf corr or no ther program is blocking the soundcard' how can I check whats blocking soundcard?
[20:31] <SiDi> _b_r_a_d_, try to put firefox to "no proxy", just to check. maybe your system settings are wrong, and some apps that use it are having trouble
[20:31] <vexue> not sure how to fix
[20:32] <DIFH-iceroot> i have installed xubuntu-desktop but did not find any option to select kde or ubuntu as a session (all three are installed)
[20:32] <Alexplay> burkmat: actually 9 million for ubuntu, and 17 million for windows :)
[20:32] <Elive_user18> hoonteke - thats for your help... any help with xmms snd?
[20:32] <SiDi> DIFH-iceroot, when you login, click on "session" button
[20:32] <_b_r_a_d_> I'll try that, SiDi
[20:32] <DIFH-iceroot> SiDi: there is no session button
[20:32] <DIFH-iceroot> SiDi: auto-login
[20:32] <burkmat> Alexplay, Not in my Google... oO
[20:33] <Alexplay> burkmat: >:D
[20:33] <hoonteke> Elive_user18: to be honest, it's been so long since I
[20:33] <SiDi> Alexplay, google trends give more results to ubuntu than windows though :)
[20:33] <hoonteke> 've used xmms, that I couldn't tell you
[20:33] <DIFH-iceroot> SiDi: if i logout, xfce4 is starting without the question if i want kde or gnome
[20:33] <Alexplay> SiDi: lol, anyway back to ontopic
[20:33] <hoonteke> it's always some little problem like this,  I eventually move to whatever teh default was on the distro
[20:33] <SiDi> DIFH-iceroot, i suppose you can modify your .xinitrc file then. (or something similar). Try to launch gdmflexiserver, change session, go back to your session and reboot, too ?
[20:33] <hoonteke> or amarok
[20:34] <hoonteke> In this case, I think it's gnome movie player for one-off files
[20:34] <hoonteke> or amarok for actual playlists
[20:34] <hoonteke> plus, I'm a DB guy
[20:34] <hoonteke> and amarok plays well with my favorite DB, Postgres
[20:34] <hoonteke> good luck, Elive_user18
[20:35] <Elive_user18> thanks noonteke... i need to figure out what is blocking my soundcard
[20:35] <Elive_user18> :(
[20:35] <Elive_user18> s/noonteke/hoonteke
[20:35] <deany> Elive_user18, I use xmms fine, using ALSA
[20:35] <hoonteke> Elive_user18: try lsof
[20:36] <hoonteke> lsof = list open files
 : i use audacious instead with alsa
[20:36] <deany> have also used a pulseaudio plugin ok to
[20:36] <powergoal> is there a repository that includes gnump3d on ubuntu?  currently using kubuntu 8.10 with kde4.2
[20:36] <osed> i'm tryin to play an mp3 file in ubuntu with rhythm box and it's playin it but i dont hear any audio. my volume is turned up though. any ideas?
[20:36] <hoonteke> and since *nix is file based, it represents the the sound card as such another file, in the /dev folder
[20:36] <hoonteke> Elive_user18: lsof | grep snd    or   lsof | less     and page through ....
[20:36] <hoonteke> to quit less, hit the 'q' button
[20:37] <hoonteke> spacebar pages through
[20:37] <hoonteke> ...
[20:37] <B10S> none of them work on ubuntu 8.10? http://www.shoutcast.com/download-files
[20:37] <Elive_user18> [root ~]#  lsof /dev/audio
[20:37] <Elive_user18> lsof: status error on /dev/audio: No such file or directory
[20:37] <Elive_user18> lsof 4.78
[20:38] <SiDi> osed, you need to install ubuntu-restricted-packages to get mp3 to play (its not installed by default because mp3 is proprietary)
[20:38] <osed> sidi that would explain it thanks
[20:38] <ratinacage78> please help!!!! i'm stuck in 800x600 resolution after install.
[20:38] <fabio> maybe this one: gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
[20:38] <SiDi> osed, sec, the name is wrong.   The most I have time for is to suggest removing your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, restart gdm (sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart), and see what happens
[20:39] <SiDi> osed, "ubuntu-restricted-extras"
[20:40] <hoonteke> ratinacage78: other than that, look through /var/log/Xorg.0.log, or something to see if anything makes itself known to you.
[20:40] <hoonteke> good luck
 use Mondo
[20:40] <templaedhel> mondo?
[20:41] <fabio> mondo is a bacup suite
[20:41] <fabio> backup*
[20:41] <ratinacage78> hoonteke -  honeslty i'm a total newb.  that doesn't mean much to me.
[20:41] <deany> talkin of shoutcast. I have musicindex module on another computer hosting my music which i stream where-ever, with a nice easy interface.. set playlists too:
[20:41] <ratinacage78> i'm ready to give up on linux at the end of my first day.
[20:41] <methods> 3d games turn all squigilly messed up lines when using fglrx
[20:41] <fabio> never give up
[20:42] <ratinacage78> i'm going to give up. 800x600 resolution SUCKS.
[20:42] <deany> ratinacage78, tried installing restricted video drivers?
[20:42] <templaedhel> I just want to know what file/folder I need to put my stored wep keys on my external hd
[20:42] <hoonteke> ratinacage78: let's talk here instead, please
[20:42] <hoonteke> what that means is that you have to open up a terminal
[20:42] <vexue> i got this stupid problem with my wireless mouse it scolls way to fast when useing ! can anyone help with this problem it seem like there should be an easy fix
[20:43] <hoonteke> ratinacage78: Applications->Accessories->Terminal
[20:43] <hoonteke> a white screen should pop
[20:43] <vexue> it didnt start out that way about a month of use it just started to do it
[20:43] <vexue> ??
[20:43] <hoonteke> this is canonically know as the "commandline"
[20:43] <templaedhel> vexue: settings>mouse> sensitivity
[20:43] <hoonteke> if someone says something that starts with a dollar sign ($) they're generally referring to the commandline
[20:44] <mib_dbln7d> hi, how can i install php, and mysql on ubuntu 8.10?
[20:44] <sadaiyappan> Hi how can i get xchat to minmize to tray?
[20:44] <Elive_user18> mib_dbln7d, apt-get install php
[20:44] <hoonteke> '$ lspci' translates to you typing 'lspci' after the '$' sign
[20:44] <Elive_user18> mib_dbln7d, apt-get install mysql
[20:45] <vexue> i went to system mouse but that didnt work!
[20:45] <hoonteke> ratinacage78: okay, from what you just pasted, you're looking for the chipset, the VGA
[20:45] <ratinacage78> sorry hoonteke.
[20:45] <mib_dbln7d> i don't have nternet on the target pc. i need the .deb file
[20:45] <hoonteke> VGA stands for Video Graphics Adaptor, but you don't need to know that.  VGA = video
[20:45] <mib_dbln7d> to download
[20:45] <ratinacage78> got it. the intel blah blah blah.
[20:45] <mib_dbln7d> lol
[20:45] <jelly-bean> how do i start/stop services from shell ?
[20:45] <templaedhel> no one knows how to back up wep keys???
[20:45] <jelly-bean> i'm used to fedora: service httpd restart
[20:45] <deany> or, sudo apt-get install tasksel install lamp-server
[20:46] <hoonteke> ratinacage78: like I said earlier, getting X to work if it doesn't work, is ... to put it mildly, a bitch.  It's come a LONG way since  2, 3, 4, and 5+ years ago, but it's still at it either works, or you'd better be ready to tinker
[20:46] <mib_dbln7d> anyone know where to get the .deb download of php?
[20:46] <deany> er I mean: , sudo apt-get tasksel install lamp-server
[20:46] <Kl4m> /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[20:46] <deany> thats how i set up mine
[20:46] <nightrid3r> mib_dbln7d youre installing a server with no net connection ????
[20:46] <hoonteke> ratinacage78: the best I can offer is to start googling with "X doesn't work ubuntu" or "X small resolution intel <chipset number>"
[20:47] <Slart> jelly-bean: there are several ways. I write "sudo /etc/init.d/<program name> start|stop|status to do stuff
[20:47] <Slart> jelly-bean: so "sudo /etc/init.d/apache stop" to stop apache
[20:47] <nightrid3r> mib_dbln7d try apt on cd
[20:47] <_b_r_a_d_> Weird, I have just had to force restart my computer twice now and each time, to get the mouse to work, I have to unplug it, then plug it back in.
[20:47] <ratinacage78> ok...i'm giving up. this sucks.
[20:48] <Ienorand> Hi, what would be the best way to add aliases for commands that need root (sudo)? just edit .bashrc and create a .bash_aliases in /root?
[20:48] <jk60> I'm getting "Unable to forward this request at this time" at http://ubuntuforums.org/  Is anyone else having that problem?
[20:48] <dkulchenko> is it possible to convert an existing ubuntu install to lvm?
[20:48] <Kl4m> ratinacage78:  sudo apt-get  install xserver-xorg-video-intel
[20:48] <deany> jk60, been down for a while
[20:48] <jk60> "All configured parent caches are currently unreachable"
[20:49] <Ienorand> jk60: They're updating I've heard
[20:49] <Elive_user18> Ienorand, you can do alias command='sudo command'
[20:49] <Kl4m> ratinacage78: if it's not installed, install and restart
[20:49] <nightrid3r> ratinacage78 search for 800X600 in wiki.ubuntu.com ant take the mode en mon,itor lines
[20:49] <jk60> Thank you lenorand.
[20:49] <mib_dbln7d> hello? How do i make a cd-r writeable again?
[20:49] <B10S> ubuntu forums is using an earlier version of apache than me. NA NA NA NAAAA NA http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=82355
[20:49] <B10S> lol
[20:49] <Ienorand> Elive_user18: ah, why didn't I think of that...
[20:49] <jelly-bean> how can i fully remove the lamp installation that came with ubuntu? i tried sudo apt-get remove php5 apache2 mysql-server but apache is still running
[20:50] <dkulchenko> #dualboot
[20:50] <jelly-bean> Kl4m: thnx for the service cmd
[20:50] <SiDi> _b_r_a_d_, i really don't know what could help you on that, sorry :/*
[20:50] <hoonteke> ratinacage78: what you're experience currently, is roughly "lack of driver compatibility"
[20:50] <Daft_Punk> since upgrading from hardy to intrepid, i cant get sound in firefox for sites like youtube
[20:50] <d1gital> how do i get mysql to listen on a port instead of a socket/
[20:50] <january1> um... is there a way of hiding certain messages in pidgin? (like, whoever left the room?)
[20:50] <hoonteke> ratinacage78: I'm sorry, it's overwhelming, but perhaps another computer with a different chipset will give you more luck
[20:50] <danbhfive> january1: look in plugins
[20:51] <hoonteke> january1: yeah ... it's a plugin called hide join/part, I think
[20:51] <january1> thanks.
[20:51] <ratinacage78> too bad. this is what i have. i'm disconnecting my hard drive and dropping it out the window.
[20:51] <january1> how do i install plugins? where can I find them?
[20:52] <hoonteke> ratinacage78: no no,
[20:52] <hoonteke> see the hdd isn't the problem
[20:52] <hoonteke> it works grat!
[20:52] <january1> ah, i see
[20:52] <hoonteke> its' the chipset on the mobo (motherboard)
[20:52] <ratinacage78> yes yes. no other option. i'm not working in 800x600.
[20:52] <Ricardo777> Back.
[20:52] <Ricardo777> Didn't work :( .
[20:52] <january1> nice.
[20:52] <ratinacage78> if noone can fix it i'm dropping it.
[20:52] <dkulchenko> I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid with a dual-boot setup between that and Edubuntu 8.10. My desired setup is a quad-boot between Ubuntu,Edubuntu,Ubuntu 64-bit, and Ubuntu Studio. I've decided to do this with LVM because of problems I've been having with regular partitioning. What is the best option for me to go from my current scheme to LVM without losing data?
[20:53] <deany> ratinacage78, what version of ubuntu ?
[20:53] <Ricardo777> Didn't get pass the main screen.
[20:53] <cpk1> ratinacage78: i take it you already tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[20:53] <Ricardo777> I couldn't even check for defects.
[20:53] <hoonteke> ratinacage78: you know, what I often finds make stuff like this easier, do you have a linux savvy friend?  The human contact makes computers much less ... drawl
[20:53] <ratinacage78> deany - 8.10
[20:54] <Ricardo777> At least the cd before this last one worked a little better.
[20:54] <Daft_Punk> since upgrading from hardy to intrepid, i cant get sound in firefox for sites like youtube
[20:54] <Smee> is the file /etc/shells a list of installed shells, or a list of acceptable shells?
[20:54] <Ricardo777> I guess I should just buy a cd already made.
[20:55] <deany> any drivers in the hardware drivers?
[20:55] <danbhfive> Daft_Punk: try playing with gstreamer-properties
[20:55] <cpk1> ratinacage78: don't use pm, it makes it harder for other people to help you
[20:55] <blackjak_> thank you for your help guys
[20:55] <deany> you might have to update the system before they appear.. just something to try..
[20:55] <blackjak_> see u
[20:55] <blackjak_> bye
[20:55] <ratinacage78> i have already updated...
[20:56] <deany> and nothing in system/admin/hardware drivers?
[20:56] <ratinacage78> and the only driver it lists in hardware drivers is my atheros card, which  works fine.
[20:56] <deany> oh ok
[20:56] <deany> there is usually always a solution.... just have to look for it a bit harder
[20:57] <Ricardo777> Well, bye thanks for the help.
[20:57] <Ricardo777> God bless.
[20:57] <ratinacage78> i'm  running 8.10 on an old hp xt963 with an insignia ns-15lcs  monitor.
[20:57] <osed> how can i make it so windowsKey+l locks my gnome screen?
[20:57] <Daft_Punk> danbhfive, i tried all my options for audio output, the tests work but the sound in firefox does not and i restarted firefox each time
[20:57] <ArcSighter> hi folks, what's the best way to install kde4.2 in ubuntu hardy 8.04.2
[20:58] <jelly-bean> osed: good q
[20:58] <jelly-bean> how can i get a colored terminal? when i am using vim to edit php.ini its not highlighting my searches etc.
[20:58] <danbhfive> ArcSighter: upgrade to jaunty, when it comes out
[20:58] <deany> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[20:58] <onyxique> :syntax on
[20:58] <osed> jelly-bean i cahnged it to Super-L but it didnt work
[20:58] <itachi> you can edit your .vimrc to always set syntax on
[20:59] <davexoxide> hi everyone
[20:59] <cpk1> ratinacage78: is it integrated intel?
[20:59] <jelly-bean> osed: i think super in linux is ctrl+esc
[20:59] <ArcSighter> danbhfive: actually, I was looking for the way to do something like sudo aptitude -t jaunty install kde4
[20:59] <jelly-bean> itachi: thnx
[20:59] <Daft_Punk> since upgrading from hardy to intrepid, i cant get sound in firefox for sites like youtube
[20:59] <hoonteke> ArcSighter: yeah, I would suggest installing KDE4 until Jaunty
[20:59] <davexoxide> is this a good place to ask questions about cron for ubuntu 8.10?
[20:59] <templaedhel> Where does ubuntu store wep keys??
[20:59] <hoonteke> I tried, even with Intrepid, and it had lots of annoying bugs here and there
[21:00] <gigi_> salve
[21:00] <hoonteke> but, they promise that jaunty will be better so ...
[21:00] <gigi_> hello
[21:00] <osed> jelly-bean:  looks like you're right. ctrl+esc+l worked
[21:00] <SiDi> Daft_Punk, completely uninstall flash/gnash, and install "flashplugin-nonfree", it'll install Flash 10 that is *meant* to work well with Pulseaudio
[21:00] <itachi> gigi_ hi!
[21:00] <osed> but i've gotten windows key to act as <Super> in other things like Gnome-do
[21:00] <osed> so i dont know whats up
[21:00] <gigi_> hi
[21:00] <ArcSighter> hoonteke: so, I'll beta test it ;) just say me how
[21:00] <gigi_> I'm italian
[21:00] <ArcSighter> I'm actually downloading source
[21:00] <ArcSighter> from mirros
[21:00] <ArcSighter> mirrors
[21:00] <hoonteke> templaedhel: I don't know where on the file system, but you can access it through System->Preferences->Encryption & Keys
[21:00] <gigi_> oo
[21:01] <jp_sf> gigi_, you can join #ubuntu-it if you want speak italian
[21:01] <jj_galvez> does anyone know how / where to get the gkt-smooth-engine? it looks like it was dropped from the gtk2-engines package in Intrepid, (its present in Hardy's)
[21:01] <ArcSighter> hoonteke: what I should add to my sources.list.d
[21:01] <ratinacage78> cpk1 - what do you mean integrated?
[21:01] <Daft_Punk> SiDi, flashplugin-nonfree is all that is installed right now actually according to synaptic
[21:01] <jp_sf> !it | gigi_
[21:01] <hoonteke> ArcSighter: I dunno.  I tend to just upgrade every six months
[21:01] <danbhfive> ArcSighter: well, jaunty is being offered as the best way.  That's where Canonical/etc will do all their testing...   Other than that, I dunno
[21:01] <templaedhel> hoonteke: well I'm trying to back them up, any ideas?
[21:01] <scribawf> can I install ubuntu over kubuntu?
[21:01] <hoonteke> to back them up?
[21:01] <cpk1> ratinacage78: is your video card an integrated intel card?
[21:02] <hoonteke> scribawf
[21:02] <korny> hii, where did the package kcontrol in ubuntu 8.10 go?
[21:02] <hoonteke> yes: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[21:02] <ratinacage78> cpk1 - i guess so. i don't know what  integrated means. haHA.
[21:02] <scribawf> OK tnx much hoonteke
[21:02] <hoonteke> scribawf: ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package that will pull in all the rest
[21:02] <enock> e ae galera, sou novato aqui
[21:02] <Daft_Punk> since upgrading from hardy to intrepid, i cant get sound in firefox for sites like youtube
[21:02] <BiosElement> Can anyone recommend a good Desktop Twitter app?
[21:03] <_b_r_a_d_> is there a linux equivalent of scandisk to check the hard disk for errors and correct them?
[21:03] <SiDi> Daft_Punk, the one in hardy wasn't supporting Pulse properly, did you ever try to reinstall it since you upgraded on intrepid ? I had similar trouble
[21:03] <dayo> How do i get .3g2 video file to play? it's worked previously. but now that i've reinstalled, i guess i'm missing something
[21:03] <ArcSighter> someone here knows how to make this truly work: sudo aptitude -t [intrepid|jaunty] install [package]
[21:03] <Smee> why doesn't linux need defragging?
[21:03] <dayo> _b_r_a_d_: fsck
[21:03] <jasballz> hello?
[21:03] <_b_r_a_d_> thanks dayo
[21:03] <jasballz> hey, does anyone know where I can download iatkos?
[21:04] <itachi> jasballz, hi!
[21:04] <jasballz> what irc channel, its a mac os mod.
[21:04] <dayo> _b_r_a_d_: u're welcome
[21:04] <jasballz> what's up?
[21:04] <jasballz> I tried irc.atlantis-net.irc
[21:04] <jasballz> no good
[21:04] <jasballz> I love ubuntu but Im trying to download iatkos
[21:04] <joaopinto> _b_r_a_d_, if you want a surface scan, you want badblocks
[21:04] <korny> _b_r_a_d_:  do you want to check the hardware or the filesystem?
[21:04] <dkulchenko> ubotu: lvm
[21:05] <dayo> !lvm | dkulchenko
[21:05] <ArcSighter> anyone? what to edit to make this work, e.g. sudo aptitude -t intrepid install pidgin
[21:05] <_b_r_a_d_> I wouldn't mind checking both
[21:05] <jasballz> anyone know?
[21:05] <deany> _b_r_a_d_,  if you really want, you can sudo touch /forcefsck from terminal and reboot
[21:05] <dkulchenko> thanks dayo
[21:05] <hoonteke> man, is it just me, is ubuntuforums.org having problems ... ?
[21:05] <jasballz> I'm trying to download iatkos, mac os leopard for a triple boot
[21:05] <dkulchenko> hoonteke: it's not just you
[21:05] <glitsj16> Smee: that depends on the filesystem you use in linux, as a general remark it doesn't really compute ... xfs for example has on the fly defragmentation
[21:05] <_b_r_a_d_> can I use badblocks from a mounted file system?
[21:05] <jasballz> whats the channel? anybody run macos iatkos or kaly
[21:05] <hoonteke> k
[21:05] <Daft_Punk> SiDi, thanks you brilliant SOB i had to REINSTALL it to get the latest 10.x version
[21:05] <joaopinto> _b_r_a_d_, for scanning you can, to mardk the bad blocks, no
[21:05] <joaopinto> mark
[21:05] <deany> _b_r_a_d_,   it will automatically check every 20-30 approx mounts or 180days, whichever is first.. but if there is a problem with it it`ll be set to "dirty" anyhow and be checked
[21:05] <hoonteke> just making sure, as I was doing some dns stuffs ... thanks dkulchenko
[21:06] <korny> _b_r_a_d_:  for a hardwarecheck i recommend the tools of your harddiskmanufactor and maybe badblocks (make a backup first!)
[21:06] <dkulchenko> jasballz: you are on the freenode network, which is a network for free software, something iatkos is not
[21:06] <templaedhel> Okay how about this? Does anyone know how to back up keyrings??
[21:06] <dkulchenko> jasballz: try another network
[21:06] <ratinacage78> this blows. thanks for the help everyone.
[21:06] <merl1n> need help with freetype
[21:06] <SiDi> Daft_Punk, you're welcome
[21:06] <dayo> dkulchenko: u're welcome :-)
[21:06] <merl1n> can someone tell me how to install it
[21:06] <ArcSighter> how to instruct apt to install some packages from a testing distribution?
[21:06] <Guest72060> hello
[21:06] <mib_dbln7d> Hello??? Is there any way to write on to a c
[21:07] <jelly-bean> itachi: had to install vim improved and then set :syntax on
[21:07] <mib_dbln7d> Hello??? Is there any way to write on to a CD-R more than once
[21:07] <hoonteke> mib_dbln7d: CD-R now
[21:07] <hoonteke> CD-RW yes
[21:07] <SiDi> mib_dbln7d, no. On a CD-RW yes, but not on a CD-R
[21:07] <korny> how can i disable antialiasing for qt applications like opera? I'm using ubuntu 8.10 and the package kcontrol seems not available
[21:07] <mib_dbln7d> can i force it to
[21:07] <merl1n> jelly-bean: why to install vim
[21:08] <hoonteke> mib_dbln7d: no, the medium is like a photograph
[21:08] <Str0g0n0ff> how can i install the rss plugin on ktorrent ?? (i'm using ubuntu 8.10 and ktorrent 3.1.2)
[21:08] <dayo> How do i get .3g2 video file to play? it's worked previously. but now that i've reinstalled, i guess i'm missing something
[21:08] <hoonteke> mib_dbln7d: you'll need to get CD-RW if you want that functionality
[21:08] <SiDi> mib_dbln7d, no. Once you wrote something on a CD-R, it's not possible to write on it again. not at all.
[21:08] <mib_dbln7d> whats the point of that?
[21:09] <merl1n> how can i configure wine since i can't get freetype anywhere
[21:09] <SiDi> dayo, activate universe / multiverse / Medibuntu repositories, install ubuntu-restricted-extras and libdvdcss2 and you should have every codec you need
[21:09] <merl1n> well i found it but wine says no again
[21:09] <merl1n> have u any idea
[21:09] <merl1n> please help
[21:09] <SiDi> mib_dbln7d, on a CD-R there is a little
[21:09] <merl1n> cause im going to penetrate my PC very badly
[21:09] <merl1n> :D
[21:10] <SiDi> mib_dbln7d, organic surface, once you burnt your CD, it's altered, and you can't "repair" it in order to burn it again.
[21:10] <Slart> mib_dbln7d: you can write several sessions on a cdr.. ie.. you can first write a 100MB file and then another 100MB file.. but after that 200MB will be used up
[21:10] <SiDi> merl1n, what's up with wine ?
[21:11] <M_23Brazil> Hi. I'm in 8.10 trying to use Skype with libs precompiled downloaded from site. When I start the appz I get "RtApiOss: OSS playback device (/dev/dsp) is busy". How can I solve this problem? How can I find the process that are using the dsp to kill that?
[21:11] <mib_dbln7d> there is still space on it
[21:11] <jj_galvez> gtk2-smooth-engines does anyone know where to get it for intrepid?
[21:11] <merl1n> SiDi: well it runs well despite the fact that i can't read anything
[21:11] <Slart> M_23Brazil: mm.. I get the same thing.. set skype to use alsa instead.. that's the only way I've gotten it to work.. I think it might be a bug in skype.. or pulseaudio for that matter
[21:11] <merl1n> SiDi: does ur nick comes from the company for boots
[21:11] <merl1n> :)
[21:12] <error420> anyone else in here experiencing slow web browsing in ubuntu 8.10?
[21:12] <SiDi> merl1n, what gpu do you have ? if nvidia, are the drivers you use the Nvidia v96 ? (my nick has a lot of origins, but not this one ;) )
[21:12] <mib_dbln7d> !pm
[21:13] <merl1n> SiDi how to check if my driver is v96
[21:13] <merl1n> SiDi : i suppose it is the latest
[21:13] <mib_dbln7d> hello?
[21:13] <SiDi> merl1n, go to "drivers of peripherals", the version is written. What graphic card do you have ? An old nvidia, right ? (or an old intel ? )
[21:13] <mib_dbln7d> can i still write onto it if there is still space?
[21:13] <merl1n> old nvidia
[21:14] <nightrid3r> mib_dbln7d yes you can
[21:14] <SiDi> mib_dbln7d, no you can't.
[21:14] <mib_dbln7d> lol
[21:14] <mib_dbln7d> who is correct?
[21:14] <merl1n> SiDi: i cant see drivers of periphals anywhere
[21:15] <nightrid3r> merl1n system --- administration --- hardware drivers
[21:15] <merl1n> found it
[21:15] <merl1n> SiDi
[21:15] <dnyy> I need a little help setting up partitions.  I'm making /boot / /var /home and swap partitions.  Since you can only make 4 primary, which should be logical?  And also, does placement matter?
[21:15] <merl1n> v96
[21:15] <jj_galvez> mib_dbln7d: if the cd is closed you can not write to it anylonger, if its still open then yes you can
[21:15] <merl1n> ur right
[21:15] <fat_rat> if you choose multisession you still can...
[21:16] <mib_dbln7d> what do you mean, open and closed?
[21:16] <aceat64> anyone else getting an error when going to ubuntuforums.org?
[21:16] <merl1n> SiDi: what now when it's v96
[21:16] <mib_dbln7d> yes
[21:16] <computer_> how do i save my current wireless card settings so i wont have to manually configure to setup on my other computer which is the same model computer?
[21:16] <nightrid3r> dnyy put boot and swap on primary the others can go in logical
[21:16] <SiDi> merl1n, i'm trying to find back a bug entry i saw about it, give me a minute
[21:16] <jj_galvez> mib_dbln7d: a multisession is one where the cd is left open so that more can be added to it, otherwise its "closed" and you can no not add files to it
[21:17] <merl1n> ok
[21:17] <SiDi> merl1n, those drivers havea bug with font antialiasing functions, i'm trying to find out how to disable it in wine.
[21:17] <dnyy> nightrid3r: alright, another question.  When installing grub, do I install it to sda1(/boot) or sda? I tried sda1 last time and when I restarted GRUB spammed the screen.
[21:18] <computer_> how do i save my current wireless card settings so i wont have to manually configure to setup on my other computer which is the same model computer?
[21:18] <nightrid3r> dnyy sda
[21:18] <SiDi> http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122350 merl1n here for wine
[21:18] <dnyy> nightrid3r: alright, thanks a ton.  google wasn't helping me out too well. :)
[21:18] <mib_dbln7d> can anyone access this site?  http://trilight-designs.ismywebsite.com/
[21:18] <M_23Brazil> Slart: Thanks. I'll try. My Skype version doesn't permit that I choose alsa or oss. This version is compiled only with oss suport. But I'll donwload other version.
[21:19] <nightrid3r> mib_dbln7d yup
[21:19] <SiDi> merl1n, see also : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-96/+bug/294076 for openoffice, k3b, opera, and all qt apps. There is a fix for all apps on second link
[21:19] <merl1n> SiDi: do u think that will help

[21:22] <jj_galvez> mib_dbln7d: there's lots of threads here, and some of us just joined in, so don't expect all of us to remember every single thing about all your past threads
[21:22] <SiDi> mib_dbln7d, then download the alternate CD, put the CD on your cd drive on the target pc, go to "Sources of software" window (in system -> admin), and add the cd rom as a repository, then install apache2, apache2mod for php, mysql
[21:22] <deany> mib_dbln7d, try prefixing with the nick who you are talkin to... it stands out then
[21:22] <mib_dbln7d> where can i download a very small version of php?
[21:22] <mib_dbln7d> i tried, i screwed up on burning it
[21:23] <zsakr> I did an apt-get update and got this warning: W: There is no public key available for the following key IDs:
[21:23] <SiDi> mib_dbln7d, use an usb key then, or go buy a cd.. we can't do miracles :)
[21:23] <JASBALLA> do you know where I can find a macos support channel??
[21:23] <merl1n> SiDi: it worked
[21:24] <nightrid3r> SiDi i thought we did mircales on a dayli basis :)
[21:24] <SiDi> merl1n, glad to hear it. Don't forget to read the second link though
[21:24] <SiDi> nightrid3r, canonical does, we only spread the word :)
[21:24] <JASBALLA> btw i love ubuntu, running it on a dual boot with Windows 7

[21:28] <deany> need_php, you dont need an internet connection, if you are using the cd as source
[21:28] <error420> anyone else experiencing slow web browsing in 8.10?
[21:28] <deany> enable the cd as a source.
[21:28] <brunner> would ubuntu-8.04.1-server-i386.iso be a live CD?
[21:29] <deany> brunner, no
[21:29] <burkmat> brunner, don't think there are any server livecds.
[21:29] <deany> and its .2 now isnt it?
[21:29] <jj_galvez> Slart: Thanks for the link, I guess I'll just remove the smooth themes from my system if its not properly maintained
[21:30] <dayo> brunner: the server CDs don't have any desktop environments. no gui on the server
[21:30] <zoli01> Dows anyone know why flash player in firefox is so slow?
[21:30] <anti_windows> Is ATI dual monitor support drastically different in ubuntu fiesty compared to gutsy ??
[21:30] <bubu1uk> zoli01: how slow?
[21:30] <thecookie> Can anyone give me a direct link to the latest version of the ubuntu net installer? I'm stuck without a browser atm
[21:31] <zoli01> I watch flash video on the net and the video is slow and the sound breaks continuousl
[21:31] <brunner> deany, burkmat, dayo: thanks!
[21:31] <zoli01> y
[21:31] <anti_windows> zoli01: have you got the latest flash drivers from adobe ?
[21:32] <zoli01> Yes, 10. something
[21:32] <SiDi> zoli01, 8.04, 8.10 ? it's slow because adobe doesn't optimise it correctly and because people who make websites still think flash is a clever thing
[21:32] <fabio> Dows anyone know why flash player in firefox is so slow? -> this is true
[21:32] <B10S> #quir
[21:32] <B10S> #quirlol, meant to be /quit
[21:32] <fabio> and very cpu hungry too
[21:32] <zoli01> Is there another flash player, better than adobe?
[21:32] <napster> привет всем
[21:32] <B10S> wtf
[21:32] <napster> как дела вашы
[21:32] <fabio> yes there is
[21:33] <Slart> !ru | napster
[21:33] <B10S> keyboard f*cked
[21:33] <osed> zoli01 gnash?
[21:33] <anti_windows> SiDi: flash is a clever thing if its done the right way. Not like what we see nowdays :(
[21:33] <budz0r> i had to quit using ubuntu because of the flash content at work
[21:33] <Slart> B10S: no need for that language.. stars or not
[21:33] <legolasw3> what is best ssh graphical client?
[21:33] <budz0r> could just never get it to work :(
[21:33] <napster> я вас не понимаю
[21:33] <zoli01> How can I use gnash?
[21:33] <dayo> if i had more time on my hands and better programming skills, i would start a new browser project. i'm very upset with ff3 and opera
[21:33] <anti_windows> legolasw3: gftp
[21:33] <danbhfive> dayo: whats wrong?
[21:34] <B10S> sorry dude, im off anyway... back tomorrow
[21:34] <SiDi> anti_windows, honnestly ajax/php and <object/> can do what flash does at lower cost. And we would have an RIA dtd if the W3C didnt give the voice to companies such as adobe/microsoft by now
[21:34] <dayo> danbhfive: ff3 and flash issues. ff3 and mem-hogging issues. it's a real pain
[21:34] <thecookie> SiDi: Good luck playing movies with javascript. :)
[21:34] <fabio> adobe fault
[21:35] <anti_windows> SiDi: i agree. But in cases like Video and Audio flash is much better
[21:35] <danbhfive> dayo: you could try epiphany or kahekase, I know the spelling is off.  Both are ff based
[21:35] <zoli01> Hm, this gnash seems to be a good thing, thanks for the info
[21:35] <fabio> try with chrome and wine
[21:35] <thecookie> Can anyone give me a direct link to the latest version of the ubuntu net installer? I'm stuck without a browser atm
[21:35] <anti_windows> Is ATI dual monitor support drastically different in ubuntu fiesty compared to gutsy ??
[21:35] <fabio> crossover i mean
[21:35] <zoli01> At least its open source :)
[21:35] <dayo> danbhfive: the only reason i'm still sticking with ff3, is because of the way u can set it to auto-delete private data on exit
[21:35] <anti_windows> thecookie, what you mean by net installer ?
[21:35] <thecookie> boot usb disk
[21:35] <Slart> thecookie: 32-bit minimal iso?
[21:36] <fabio> opera is even worse with flash
[21:36] <dayo> danbhfive: but i will have a look at epi and kase
[21:36] <itachi> thecookie, if you have a terminal there is a text based browser called w3m that is pretty intuitive
[21:36] <SiDi> anti_windows, in fact i highly prefer having an mkv with proper language/subtitle support directly integrated in the page and played by totem than an horrible flash thingy which behaviour and features are unpredictable.
[21:36] <titan_ark_> hey :) am a n00b here need some help using cron
[21:36] <thecookie> Not sure if I want the iso, I guess the easiest way would be to just uncompress on to the usb stick
[21:36] <sharef> iv got a question about scripting pidgin
[21:36] <thecookie> itachi: I'll test it out. :)
[21:37] <anti_windows> thecookie: did you try lynx ?
[21:37] <Slart> thecookie: not really sure which iso you want.. I don't see an USB release from the official ubuntu site
[21:38] <Slart> titan_ark_: just ask your question.. if someone knows they will answer
[21:38] <burkmat> titan_ark_, check out `man crontab`
[21:38] <thecookie> Slart: Hmm. Maybe it's the minimal iso or something then. Just know I used an app that auto made usb boot drives, where you could select 8.10 netinstall
[21:38] <anti_windows> why is dual monitor with dual graphics card so hard to setup in ubuntu fiesty :(
[21:38] <Slart> !minimal
[21:39] <titan_ark_> Slart, hey :) am facing trouble sheduling Transmission, so i thought i could use cron to either start and kill Transmission, or my internet connection, or just turn off my box at specific times
[21:39] <Kalumba> Which packages are responsible for suspend and hibernation? Recently my laptop lost its ability to suspend and hibernate and I think I need to downgrade the packages.
[21:39] <Slart> thecookie: here is the minimal iso http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
[21:39] <sharef> i need a cli method of changing my pidgin status, does anyone have some insight i could use??
[21:39] <thecookie> Slart: Thanks
[21:39] <titan_ark_> i tried using cron and crontab but spent hours and couldnt make it work
[21:39] <Slart> titan_ark_: mm, sounds reasonable.. crontab should be able to do that
[21:40] <burkmat> sharef, Look into `libpurple` (hope I remembered that right..)
[21:40] <int256> what is the 'su' command for ? How to use it ?
[21:40] <Khepr> super user
[21:40] <akahige> if I make a usermod change from a terminal, should I be able to view that change in the Admin --> Users Settings...?
[21:40] <titan_ark_> slart i tried invoking Transmission using crontab but doesnt seem to work! or prolly am not doing it right!
[21:41] <itachi> switch user
[21:41] <Slart> int256: su is.. switch user I think.. use sudo for root stuff instead
[21:41] <int256> ok
[21:41] <Slart> titan_ark_: what did you put into your crontab?
[21:41] <int256> when i entered su and pressed enter it asks for password
[21:41] <Slart> !sudo  | int256
[21:42] <Slart> int256: yes.. it asks for the root password.. which doesn't exist
[21:42] <titan_ark_> just a moment il get the exact command i gave
[21:42] <int256> Slart: yes
[21:42] <anti_windows> could someone please help me with my xorg.conf file for dual monitor http://pastebin.ca/1339369
[21:42] <_newbie3> ciao
[21:42] <Slart> int256: if you want a root shell you can use "sudo -i", you can read more about it by running "man sudo" at a terminal
[21:42]  * anti_windows prays so that someone kind enough will help him
[21:43] <SiDi> int256, su is used for logging as root, except on ubuntu where root account doesn't have a password. use "sudo -s" (or -i ?) instead
[21:43] <int256> how to use mount command to mount a partition to a folder
[21:43] <maximus_> does anyone at all recall a tool that can convert CD image into a USB drive partition?
[21:43] <int256> SiDi: ok
[21:43] <anti_windows> SiDi: you can create a password for root though by doing $ sudo passwd root
[21:44] <danbhfive> maximus_: what about the one on intrepid?
[21:44] <burkmat> int256, `man mount`? general syntax is `mount /device /mountpoint`...
[21:44] <int256> burkmat: ok
[21:44] <oOarthurOo> Does anyone here use or know much about dropbox... the syncing tool. I am wondering if I can use it to sync between two computers without using the online service part.
[21:44] <SiDi> int256, "sudo mount /dev/sd#x (sdb1 = 1st part on 2nd hdd, sdc4, 4th parth on 3rd hdd) /media/mount_folder
[21:44] <Esor> Hi, I've got a question. I've compiled pidgin on my own and I see a weird thing. So probably as I remember pidgin didn't showing avatar icon (instead of normal contact list icon in the same corner)) in the left corner (the same line with minimalize and nickname of buddy). Anybody knows how to fix it?
[21:44] <maximus_> danbhfive: which one?
[21:44] <bernard__> So I'm running 9.04 and just updated, and now I have a million "starting file manager" instances spawning.
[21:45] <SiDi> bernard__, try #ubuntu+1 for unstable releases support
[21:45] <int256> SiDi: ok
[21:45] <danbhfive> maximus_: create usb startup disc
[21:45] <maximus_> danbhfive: unetbootin looks like the answer, of course it's not in intrepid
[21:45] <bernard__> SiDi: Thank you.

[21:48] <Kalumba> Perhaps if I condense my question: Laptop. Fails to suspend and hibernate. Worked previously. Need help.
[21:48] <kukuchopra> how to fix win xp bootloader from ubuntu?
[21:48] <kukuchopra> first i fixed grub when i was on xp
[21:48] <anti_windows> doolph, use fdisk -l
[21:48] <int256> itachi: ok
[21:48] <SiDi> int256, transmission is a very very complete one. but i'm currently developing a command line torrent client if you want. The prob is that i only got the bencoding lib so far.. :P
[21:48] <Ivanlul> In the ATI catalyst control center I don't seem to get all the options, any idea on how to fix that? I don't want to put it in this way but, compared to the windows version of catalyst control center, I seem to get less options in the linux version.
[21:48] <kukuchopra> now after fixing grub my windows bootloader is gone
[21:48] <danbhfive> Kalumba: file a bug report under linux
[21:48] <blue-printf> hi i want to know the amount of memory a process is using. i tried ps u which gives me cpu and mem data but in % i want it in kb
[21:49] <blue-printf> is there a way?
[21:49] <oOarthurOo> kukuchopra: That's because you can only have one. EIther the windows bootloader or grub
[21:49] <h34p> any german here who can help? ;)
[21:49] <doolph> anti_windows and?
[21:49] <Slart> Kalumba: laptops and suspend resume is like throwing dice in ubuntu.. in some versions it work.. in others it doesn't.. see if you can't file a bug report in launchpad..that's about all the help I have to give
[21:49] <burkmat> !de | h34p
[21:49] <anti_windows> dooglus, and then see which is the drive path i.e /dev/hdax and use that to mount /home
[21:49] <int256> SiDi: are you developing one
[21:49] <h34p> k thx.
[21:49] <Kalumba> danbhfive, Eh, sure thing, but I would like to try a downgrade first. It might be a regression
[21:49] <kukuchopra> i can use only 1?
[21:49] <kukuchopra> how about dual boot
[21:49] <Slart> blue-printf: top or htop will list memory.. I think ps will do that too if you ask it nicely
[21:49] <Auszen> I have a question. Should I use a symbolic link when I change my /home or should I mount the new drive as /home ?
[21:49] <oOarthurOo> kukuchopra: Yes... you can only use one bootloader.
[21:49] <danbhfive> Kalumba: try installing a different kernel I think
[21:49] <doolph> anti_windows umm I am using LVM, I want add more space to /home
[21:50] <Sonorous|2> So I lied last night about 3D acceleration working properly. anyone running ubuntu on a macbook pro with x1600?
[21:50] <kukuchopra> my friend has both the bootloaders
[21:50] <josh_>  i get -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20K 2009-02-16 06:20 getty
[21:50] <oOarthurOo> kukuchopra: The bootloader is what allows you to dual, or triple or so on, boot.
[21:50] <Kalumba> danbhfive, Thanks, I'll try that
[21:50] <SiDi> int256, yeh, if you wanna test it, it should be released in april (most likely not april 2009 tho :>)
[21:50] <burkmat> kukuchopra, You can only have 1 bootloader, but you can have multiple operating systems.
[21:50] <kukuchopra> plz dnt misguide me tell me how to fix windows bootloader?
[21:50] <oOarthurOo> kukuchopra: Some people use the windows bootloader to load grub. But that is ... silly.
[21:50] <kukuchopra> yea
[21:50] <sharef> is there a bash meathod for the purple??
[21:50] <blue-printf> Slart: thanx thats what i was looking for
[21:50] <kukuchopra> i want to run windows now
[21:51] <kukuchopra> i want grub bootloader running windows xp
[21:51] <maximus_> well, doesn't grub load windows' bootloader when calling chainloader?
[21:52] <anti_windows> kukuchopra: you can do that in the menu.lst file
[21:52] <kukuchopra> plz guide me from starting.
[21:52] <josh_> anti_windows: is this right  i get -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20K 2009-02-16 06:20 getty

[21:52] <josh_> united: what up
[21:52] <anti_windows> kukuchopra, ok im unclear what exactly you are trying to do here
[21:52] <sharef> anyone, bash method for manipulating pidgin/purple??
[21:53] <Slart> titan_ark_: ah.. yes.. it looks right.. it didn't work?
[21:53] <burkmat> sharef, Did you check out libpurple? Last I checked you can change status through it, and that's what you wanted, right?
[21:53] <akahige> can anyone tell me if I do this "sudo usermod -a -G pulse mpd", where can I check to make sure the change actually "took"...? gnome user settings (or any other place)...?
[21:53] <titan_ark_> no it did not!

[21:54] <kukuchopra> wire the full command plz

[21:55] <anti_windows> jelly-bean, apt-get install php-dev5
[21:55] <kukuchopra> after sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst i get many options
[21:55] <anti_windows> jelly-bean, that could be it :D
[21:55] <jelly-bean> :)
[21:56] <Ubentu> that's the actual file not any options
[21:56] <Ubentu> you have to edit it
[21:56] <outofrange1> In intrepid what do I need to modify to have a script run on USB thumb drive insert?
[21:56] <anti_windows> kukuchopra, in menu.lst file at the top you will see something like default 0, this variable controls what becomes the default OS on boot
[21:56] <ANTRat> maximus_: apt-get dist-upgrade

[21:57] <_igel__> what do you think I can do?
[21:57] <kukuchopra> yea default is 0
[21:57] <Slart> titan_ark_: check here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-105250.html  . to make it short.. change "/usr/bin/transmission" to "DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/transmission"
[21:57] <akahige> Geek`N`Proud / itachi: thanks
[21:58] <anti_windows> Slart, ubuntuforums is down
[21:58] <Slart> anti_windows: not for me it isn't
[21:58] <anti_windows> dang,
[21:58] <anti_windows> Slart, ohh its back up now :)
[21:59] <Mick> So if I have 2 HDD's installed on /dev/sda and /dev/sdb how can I make sure that Grub picks up both the OS's at boot up?
[21:59] <titan_ark_> Slart: okay il try that. but what about shutting it down or shutting down the system. how do i implement that
[21:59] <kukuchopra> http://pastebin.com/d512dfc2d
[21:59] <Geek`N`Proud> Mick, manually add any OSes that aren't in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[21:59] <Geek`N`Proud> there's wiki info on it and some examples are included as comments in the config
[21:59] <magcius> How do I remove PulseAudio?
[22:00] <magcius> Or at least upgrade it to a newer version.
[22:00] <Slart> titan_ark_: pkill transmission should work
[22:00] <kukuchopra> what should i select to fix windows.
[22:00] <wolter> hi, has anybody with a laptop experienced involuntary brightness lowering when on battery power?
[22:00] <mikeshollen> Can someone help me get my mic working?
[22:00] <Geek`N`Proud> magcius, apt-get purge pulseaudio
[22:00] <titan_ark_> Slart: okay il try them bout out right away
[22:00] <Slart> titan_ark_: there is also an application called "transmission-remote", perhaps that can be used to shut it down from a cli
[22:01] <Geek`N`Proud> mikeshollen, Preferences->Sound
[22:01] <magcius> Geek`N`Proud, is it easy to install OSS4 after that?
[22:01] <Geek`N`Proud> magcius, why would you want to?
[22:01] <mikeshollen> Geek`N`Proud: gonna need more than that
[22:01] <magcius> Geek`N`Proud, because it's the newest sound daemon.
[22:01] <magcius> Geek`N`Proud, well, what would you recommend then?
[22:01] <Geek`N`Proud> magcius, OSS is depreciated
[22:01] <magcius> Geek`N`Proud, ...
[22:01] <magcius> OSS4 is new
[22:02] <Geek`N`Proud> it is due to be removed from Linux entirely
[22:02] <Geek`N`Proud> check the kernel config
[22:02] <anti_windows> could someone please help me with my xorg.conf file for dual monitor http://pastebin.ca/1339369
[22:02] <magcius> OSS4 is a complete rewrite of the OSS server base
[22:02] <Slart> Geek`N`Proud: actually the company behind oss has released a new version.. it isn't used in linux though, I think they've gone with alsa instead
[22:02] <titan_ark_> Slart, do i need to reboot after making the mod in crontab?
[22:02] <Weehawky> How would I upgrade 8.04 to 8.10 with the CD?
[22:02] <Slart> titan_ark_: nope.. it should take effect immediately
[22:02] <Geek`N`Proud> Slart, it's only being adopted by BSD.. in Linux it's still depreciated
[22:02] <Slart> !upgrade | Weehawky
[22:03] <zhoste> could someone point me in the right direction for some tips on getting my touchscreen to work with an hp touchsmart laptop?
[22:03] <Geek`N`Proud> even Solaris is avoiding it IIRC >.>
[22:03] <Raccoon1400> can someone help me reinstall grub after a windows install? tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 but when I type "setup (hd0) it says "Error 12: Invalid device requested"
[22:03] <Geek`N`Proud> magcius, I still advise sticking with ALSA
[22:03] <kukuchopra> http://pastebin.com/d3a39b849
[22:03] <int256> can i play NFS Carbon in ubuntu 8.10
[22:03] <Geek`N`Proud> OSS isn't supported on most apps by default
[22:03] <kukuchopra> cedega
[22:04] <magcius> Geek`N`Proud, is it easy to install?
[22:04] <Slart> int256: you would have to check appdb.winehq.com
[22:04] <Slart> Geek`N`Proud: perhaps well get a ossa wrapper =)
[22:04] <int256> Slart: ok
[22:04] <nightrid3r> !grub | Raccoon1400
[22:04] <Geek`N`Proud> magcius, yes it's easy to install it (relatively speaking)
[22:04] <kukuchopra> anyone can fix my windows bootloader?
[22:04] <zhoste> Could someone help me set up my touchscreen on an hp touchsmart laptop?
[22:04] <mikeshollen> Geek`N`Proud: I've tried to enable the mic volume but no luck
[22:05] <Raccoon1400> nightrid3r: that's what I tried
[22:05] <Geek`N`Proud> mikeshollen, is it a normal microphone or a USB microphone?
[22:05] <titan_ark_> Slart: Mus'nt it be "DISPLAY=:0 && /usr/bin/transmission"
[22:05] <mikeshollen> It's a built in mic
[22:05] <Raccoon1400> when I type "setup (hd0) it says "Error 12: Invalid device requested"
[22:05] <Geek`N`Proud> mikeshollen, maybe it's on a separate "card" so to speak
[22:05] <Weehawky> Slart, I'm not seeing how to upgrade using the CD, just "Alternate CD"
[22:06] <methods> how do i get the systray for pulseaudio ?
[22:06] <Slart> titan_ark_: nope.. just "DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/transmission".. also leave out the "export" part
[22:06] <Slart> Weehawky: I think it's the same procedure with the regular desktop cd
[22:06] <mikeshollen> Geek`N`Proud: So what should I do?
[22:06] <titan_ark_> Slart: okay. cos i just tried it that way and it did not start up transmission!
[22:06] <Geek`N`Proud> mikeshollen, try alsamixer -c 0 then try alsamixer -c 1
[22:06] <Geek`N`Proud> see if it shows any other controls
[22:06] <euxneks> I installed libclutter and I want to compile the examples in /usr/share/doc/libclutter-gtk-0.8-dev/examples ... how would I go about doing this?
[22:07] <euxneks> I just want to see what it can do :)
[22:07] <Slart> titan_ark_: it worked for me on my computer.. can you pastebin your crontab?
[22:07] <Slart> !pastebin | titan_ark_
[22:07] <Geek`N`Proud> some microphones detect as separate sound devices
[22:07] <titan_ark_> ok 1 moment

[22:07] <Gaming4JC> Hey all. My computer recently started having all file permisions go to "Read-Only" and (my dual boot) windows had chkdsk at boot everytime. I just recently got a bunch of fsck errors on linux. Is this a sign of a bad HDD?
[22:07] <anti_windows> anyone with dual monitor setup experience in here??? im in desperate need of some help
[22:07] <Mick> I'm trying to pass 'sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit' to pastebin but I'm getting the error: Error no arguments specified!Anyone able to help me out a bit?
[22:07] <Geek`N`Proud> magcius, when people blog about it - it's easy
[22:08] <ubuntu_> hello there
[22:08] <Gaming4JC> If so I don't know why gsmart says my HDD passes all of the tests...
[22:08] <titan_ark_> Slart: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118945/
[22:08] <eshear> what happens if I accidentally kill the [edac-poller] process?
[22:08] <Weehawky> Slart, I don't see a "cdromupgrade"
[22:09] <pianoboy3333> Hey I'm picking out a new hard drive since I need more space, I was wondering, what does the hard drive cache do?
[22:09] <mikeshollen> Geek`N`Proud: I got the control panel with 0 but nothing with 1
[22:09] <Slart> titan_ark_: just try setting the time to * * * * * ... it will try to start transmission every minute
[22:09] <Gaming4JC> hmm...
[22:09] <Raccoon1400> can someone help me reinstall grub after a windows install? tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 but when I type "setup (hd0) it says "Error 12: Invalid device requested"
[22:09] <kukuchopra> somebody help me
[22:09] <titan_ark_> Slart okay il try that
[22:09] <Mick> Hey Gaming4JC I just had the same thing and I did the following: sudo grub then find /boot/grub/stage1 then root (hdX,Y) (fill in X and Y respectively) then setup (hd0) then quit then reboot
[22:09] <Gaming4JC> Raccoon1400: Super Grub Disk, check it out. :-)
[22:09] <titan_ark_> Slart,btw, i do a "sudo crontab -e" and then make this change. thats right?
[22:10] <Raccoon1400> Gaming4JC: I tried that first, it failed
[22:10] <zhoste> could someone help me out setting up a touch screen on an hp touchsmart laptop?
[22:10] <Gaming4JC> hmm
[22:10] <Slart> titan_ark_: oh.. no.. not sudo.. you don't want to run transmission as root
[22:10] <Raccoon1400> couldn't find stage1 or something like that
[22:10] <Slart> titan_ark_: just "crontab -e"
[22:10] <Slart> clear
[22:10] <Gaming4JC> Mick: I was asking about a bad hdd not a MBR grub fix
[22:10] <Slart> bah, sorry
[22:10] <titan_ark_> Slart oh okay! :P
[22:10] <Gaming4JC> Mick: I think you meant to msg Raccoon
[22:11] <perillux> I can't seem to connect to my yahoo account with pidgin.  Anyone know why that might be?
[22:11] <Mick> Gaming4JC I beg your pardon, that was meant to go to someone else
[22:11] <Gaming4JC> Mick:  np. :-)
[22:11] <G-Blunted> Hey how do i see how much ram is being used?
[22:11]  * int256 will be back in 5min
[22:12] <Gaming4JC> now for my question "My computer recently started having all file permisions go to "Read-Only" and (my dual boot) windows had chkdsk at boot everytime. I just recently got a bunch of fsck errors on linux. Is this a sign of a bad HDD?"
[22:12] <kukuchopra> guys how to remove grub and fix windows bootloader?
[22:12] <Slart> G-Blunted: "free"
[22:12] <mikeshollen> G-Blunted: Go to System Monitor
[22:12] <Bobddfd> hello
[22:12] <Mech0z> wierd my keyboard and mouse looses connection all the the time in ubuntu :/
[22:12] <Mech0z> suddenly they just stops working
[22:13] <Bobddfd> what can be the origin of an "unallocated filesystem" said in Gparted for a HDD that work and has differents partitions and all...
[22:13] <Bobddfd> ?
[22:13] <Bobddfd> :D
[22:14] <zelrikriando> We are reaching 1500 persons in this channel
[22:14] <magcius> Hmm... I have the latest nVidia drivers but I still can't get 1920x1200
[22:14]  * int256 is back
[22:14] <pianoboy3333> What does the hard drive cache do? And what special things should I look for when buying a new hard drive?
[22:14] <Gaming4JC> ahem... more properly stated, DOES FSCK + CHCKDSK on boot = BAD Hard Drive ....
[22:15] <Gaming4JC> ???
[22:15] <titan_ark_> Slart: yes that did work!!!
[22:15] <Slart> Gaming4JC: nope.. I think ubuntu checks the hd every... 25:th boot or something
[22:15] <Slart> titan_ark_: of course it did ;)
[22:16] <Mick> Folks, I've got a problem with installing a second OS. I've added the contents of fdisk here ... http://pastebin.com/f3e37c765
[22:16] <Mick> Can anyone help me out of a hole please
[22:16] <Gaming4JC> Slart: So fsck on boot saying inodes all messed up is normal? o_O
[22:16] <Slart> titan_ark_: now, say you wanted to schedule a shutdown... do "sudo crontab -e" since we have to be root to shut the computer down... then just add the command poweroff, reboot or shutdown.. man shutdown for more info on switches and options
[22:16] <ilaiho> are there still pulseaudio problems on lts?
[22:16] <Slart> Gaming4JC: nope.. that's not normal.. but you didn't mention that =)
[22:17] <Mech0z> any way to use a usb drive instead of a floppy disk for updating bios? (getting into dos and running the file from the drive)
[22:17] <Gaming4JC> Slart: I mentioned it earlier ^^ What's interesting is the drives smart data reports no errors, and after an intense scan No bad sectors
[22:17] <Slart> Gaming4JC: but it will check the hd every N boots.. regardless of the status of the hd.. if it finds lots of errors you might want to check smart-info..
[22:18] <binarymutant> Mech0z, how do you update the bios? I thought to update it you have to flash it
[22:18] <Gaming4JC> Slart: Let me pastebin you a log of the Smart Data. Maybe I'm missing something... the drive is less than 6 months old.
[22:18] <Slart> Gaming4JC: sure
[22:18] <Mech0z> well thats what I want to do, but I still need to make something that can make me boot into dos
[22:18] <Mech0z> and I do not have a floppy drive and dont want to waste a dvd on it
[22:19] <binarymutant> Mech0z, sorry I don't understand
[22:19] <Mech0z> I want to put the bios file on a flash drive and run that from dos on my ubuntu system
[22:19] <Mech0z> but I dont know how to make the flash drive boot me into dos
[22:20] <Mick> When I'm installing a second OS on a second HDD how do I know what I need to enter in grub? I've got the following disks http://pastebin.com/f3e37c765 but I'm completely oblivious as to what I should enter in grub. Do I need to know the UUID of the disks or what? My menu.lst looks like this ... http://pastebin.com/f7effa9e4
[22:20] <titan_ark_> Slart okay it did work for a set time also! :P my bad i was running it in root! so that was the problem?
[22:20] <Slart> titan_ark_: sounds likely
[22:21] <Gaming4JC> Mech0z: Enter your CMOS (usually Delete Key, F8, or some other command depending on MB) and then see if you can change the boot options to your USB drive.
[22:21] <Gaming4JC> Mech0z: Make sure the USB drive is inserted when you enter CMOS, it should then be listed under boot priority or something like it.
[22:21] <titan_ark_> Slart: okay. now to shut it down, just * * * * * pkill transmission or do i need to give the path?
[22:22] <Slart> titan_ark_: nope.. pkill kills any process with a certain name.. the process is called "transmission" I think... so we just do "pkill transmission"
[22:23] <titan_ark_> Slart: okay i will try that. and how about turning of the box?
[22:23]  * Gaming4JC is still trying to get a new hdd smart log...
[22:24] <Slart> titan_ark_: then you'll have to open the crontab for root.. "sudo crontab -e" will work nicely... the command is called either "poweroff" or "shutdown -h now"
[22:24] <titan_ark_> Slart: this is an example i found online: "0 20 * * * /sbin/shutdown -h now"
[22:24] <Slart> titan_ark_: that looks good
[22:24] <titan_ark_> Slart, okay :)
[22:25] <iaindalton> Why does install-info's manual say --maxwidth is deprecated?   Would you be able to suggest any literature I could read up to learn linux commands. I am a n00b just installed linux about 4-5 days back :P
[22:26] <magcius> Hmm...
[22:26] <Gaming4JC> ... PLEASE INCLUDE gnome-ppp on the LiveCD. It has great importance for us slow people on Dial-Ups :D
[22:26] <zelrikriando> Gaming4JC, not sure it's the right place to do it
[22:27] <zelrikriando> Gaming4JC, try ubuntu brainstorm
[22:27] <tata> OIeeeeeeeeee
[22:27] <kandrew> Hmmm
[22:27] <kandrew> This is a lot of people...
[22:27] <Slart> titan_ark_: not a stupid question at all.. there are lots of good books out there.. unfortunately I can't recommend one since I can't remember any specific titles
[22:27] <Gaming4JC> ok
[22:27] <Homekat> Hello, I loaded P7zip, but could not find it in any menus....any help would be much appreciated :)  (new to Linux)

[22:28] <Homekat> sure, Ubuntu
[22:28] <Mick> Anyone know anything about installing a second Ubuntu installation from a second HDD into Grub?
[22:28] <tata>  :D
[22:28] <iaindalton> titan_ark_: Does the Ubuntu Manual not have a section on that?
[22:28] <Slart> titan_ark_: or wait.. hang on.. I've got a free ebook you can download.. for ubuntu.. I'll get the url
[22:28] <Bobddfd> hello
[22:29] <Bobddfd> what is the difference between a "logical" and a "primary" partition?
[22:29] <Gaming4JC> Mick: I've thought of that but never managed to get it working right. If you do let me know, lol.

[22:29] <Bobddfd> nal
[22:30] <iaindalton> titan_ark_: It looks pretty poor, though.  The Ubuntu ppl should take a page (literally) out of Mandriva's book!
[22:30] <Mick> Gamin4JC, I had it working but then I installed a version of Untangle on one HDD and it over wrote the menu.lst now I can't get the thing to boot from the 1st HDD
[22:30] <iaindalton> At least, when I first used Linux, it was Mandrake 7.2, and the manual was mostly about the command line ;-)
[22:30] <Gaming4JC> hmm
[22:30] <Myllinha> Ola
[22:30] <titan_ark_> iaiandaltion: il have a look :)
[22:30] <titan_ark_> lol okay
[22:31] <hlm> I need help, I tried using startupmanageto edit the bootscreen, grub bootscreen works fine, but no ubuntu bootscreen no matter what
[22:31] <titan_ark_> i tried red had some 5 years ago. had the fright of my life. tired of windows and its troubles so thought its high time i migrated!

[22:31] <titan_ark_> *redhat
[22:32] <Myllinha> hello
[22:32] <hlm> I need help, I tried using startupmanageto edit the bootscreen, grub bootscreen works fine, but no ubuntu bootscreen no matter what
[22:33] <Ienorand> Hey, how do I select more than one package for a bug on launchpad
[22:33] <titan_ark_> iaindalton: I dont see Help and Support in the menu! I am on xubuntu 8.10
[22:33] <falkinski> Hi got a problem with my server, i cant move a file using "mv", the file name is "'On the Origin of Species' and 'The Ancestor's Tale' -- on one CD". What should I do? When i type ' it wont show up when I tab, using "' ~" dosent work either. Help :(
[22:33] <magcius> Geek`N`Proud, I have problems with OSS :(
[22:33] <iaindalton> titan_ark_: Just launch `Yelp'.
[22:33] <Geek`N`Proud> magcius, no sound?
[22:33] <hlm> I need help, I tried using startupmanageto edit the bootscreen, grub bootscreen works fine, but no ubuntu bootscreen no matter what
[22:33] <Geek`N`Proud> magcius, unfortunately OSS can't easily work with everything
[22:34] <magcius> Geek`N`Proud, soundoff says it cannot unload the OSS driver modules, soundon says OSS is already started
[22:34] <magcius> Oh, and /dev/mixer: No such file or directory
[22:34] <Geek`N`Proud> okay no problem
[22:34] <Geek`N`Proud> lsmod
[22:34] <titan_ark_> iaindalton: from command line? sorry but I have to ask you how to do it. I am a no brainer in this!!! I have just gotten started on linux!
[22:34] <chadz> hey -- does anyone have issues with consolas rendering where it seems to align the text too high? http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/2236/consolasissueeo8.png
[22:34] <Geek`N`Proud> then unload whatever sound stuff is loaded with modprobe -r
[22:34] <Gaming4JC> Homekat: Applications >> Accessories >> Terminal, then type "man P7zip" I think you'll find it's a console application with no gui
[22:35] <iaindalton> titan_ark_: I don't know the interface of XFCE, but there should be a `Run command' item in some menu.
[22:35] <Gaming4JC> oh well, I guess Homekat left
[22:36] <magcius> Geek`N`Proud, FATAL: Module osscore is in use.
[22:36] <titan_ark_> iaindalton: well i get to the terminal but how do i run the application there?
[22:36] <magcius> Geek`N`Proud, is there any way to find out what applications are using that module?
[22:37] <iaindalton> titan_ark_: type `yelp' then Enter, but there really should be a `help' menu item, perhaps under `Applications'
[22:37] <Geek`N`Proud> magcius, there is a way to force removal
[22:37] <Geek`N`Proud> -f I think
[22:37] <Geek`N`Proud> and gnome-mixer will constantly use it forever
[22:37] <Geek`N`Proud> most of gnome will be
[22:37] <magcius> Geek`N`Proud, I tried that already. --help says there's no -f
[22:38] <Geek`N`Proud> magcius, there is
[22:38] <Geek`N`Proud> it's in the manpage
[22:38] <Geek`N`Proud> maybe not in --help but the manpage has it
[22:39] <Mech0z> anyone know a good newsreader (with automatic par2 checking, unrar)
[22:39] <int256> any softwares like offline browser for ubuntu
[22:40] <iaindalton> Mech0z: Gnus
[22:40] <titan_ark_> iaindalton: yes it invokes the Ubuntu help Center

[22:42] <error420> Hello everyone, does anyone know why it takes 10 seconds to load google.com or any other web page that would normally load instantly? I've been searching all over the net...this just started happening about 1 week ago.
[22:42] <Mech0z> ianto is that grafical?
[22:42] <Geek`N`Proud> magcius, if that is still of no use rmmod has force too
[22:42] <titan_ark_> iaindalton: No, there aint no advanced topics there
[22:42] <alpha7> need help You might need to have administrative privileges to create this directory.
[22:42] <ianto> Mech0z: s/ianto/int256?
[22:42] <iaindalton> titan_ark_: The bottom of the left sidebar?
[22:43] <iaindalton> Maybe the help center is different under XFCE
[22:43] <_dbd_l12> alpha7: type "sudo nautilus" in your terminal, or do a "sudo mkdir your_dir_name" where you want in the terminal
[22:43] <titan_ark_> iaindalton: it has no side bar. just some basic info on the page. i did a search for advaned topics and it threw up nothing
[22:44] <_VIM_>  !gksu | _dbd_l12
[22:44] <iaindalton> titan_ark_:  Anyway, I have it up, and it looks pretty pathetic compared to what I remember Mandrake's manual being.  Check out the Mandriva manual's section on the command line, most of it should apply to Ubuntu: http://doc.mandrivalinux.com/MandrakeLinux/101/en/Command-Line.html/
[22:44] <Mech0z> iaindalton cant see that it can do par2 and unrar anywere :/
[22:45] <titan_ark_> iaindalton: okay i shall bookmark that! thanks a million!
[22:45] <hlm> !startup
[22:45] <alpha7> Can i set my user to admin rights
[22:45] <hlm> !boot
[22:46] <hlm> !usplash
[22:46] <iaindalton> Mech0z: Oh, sorry; my mistake.  It has everything else I assumed it would have par2.  Also, unrar sounds like a feature of the OS; not the newsreader, but I could be wrong there too
[22:46] <iaindalton> titan_ark_: so your help center doesn't look like http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_D1EpnOVJuA8/SPhOv6kdP3I/AAAAAAAABX4/vFWpxLMG-ak/s400/help.png ?
[22:46] <Checkmate91> anyone able to get gnome-globalmenu to work?  I have tried adding the Hardy repos and after refreshing Apt-Get, the new package does not appear in the list
[22:47] <Mech0z> iaindalton I used altbinz on windows and that did everything, but I found hellanzb which seems to do the job

[22:48] <Until_It_Sleeps> Why does Windows XP not support my sound card, but Ubuntu supports it right off the bat. Also, I was downloading a Nvidia display driver a couple days ago. I thought it had frozen after 2 minutes of waiting for the progress bar to move. I rebooted, and all of a sudden, before it rebooted, the progress bar started moving...
[22:48] <titan_ark_> iaindalton: Well the page looks the same but the Links under "Topics" on the left does not exist
[22:48] <_VIM_> oops wrong nick
[22:48] <Checkmate91> Alexplay, what command is that removing?
[22:48] <_dbd_l12> Mech0z: maybe http://www.sabnzbd.org/
[22:48] <_VIM_> DONT run that command Checkmate91
[22:48] <glitsj16> Checkmate91: http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/wiki/InstallingonUbuntu might be instructive
[22:48] <Until_It_Sleeps> I attempted to download again after it rebooted, but it won't let me. Why?
[22:48] <Checkmate91> Alexplay, yea i didn't think so
[22:48] <Until_It_Sleeps> I get a blank error dialog box.
[22:49] <Checkmate91> glitsj16, tried that page and it askes you to add the repos...did that, added the GPG key, reloaded...nothin
[22:49] <alpha7> _dbd_l12: i'm trying to drag files to a font folder
[22:49] <alpha7> any one know how to drag files to a font folder
[22:49] <Gaming4JC> _VIM_ I was just getting ready to say that, but I was slow at googling to make sure it was the wipeout command. :P
[22:49] <iaindalton> titan_ark_: I guess that makes sense.  A lot of the manual is GNOME-specific, and wouldn't apply to Xubuntu.
[22:49] <Checkmate91> gand what is Alexplay doing in here?
[22:49] <Gaming4JC> sad folks here

[22:51] <tave> is there a way to tell firefox to download a file to a specific directory by file extension?
[22:51] <_dbd_l12> titan_ark_: is your question xfce-related?
[22:51] <_VIM_> Checkmate91: that's up the to staff in here, you can go to #ubuntu-ops and tell them what happened if you want :)

[22:52] <Checkmate91> _VIM_, done.
[22:52] <Slart> tave: I don't think there is anything in the default install.. perhaps some kind of extension can do it
[22:53] <mads> Why do I get permission denied when I run "python setup.py install in terminal
[22:53] <_VIM_> Checkmate91: ok :D
[22:53] <tave> I've beenn looking but no joy so far
[22:53] <Myrtti> mads: a) what are you trying to install? b) perhaps you need higher powers...

[22:53] <tave> *maybe

[22:53] <unr3a1> how do I get the 8.10 to show up in the update manager
[22:53] <mads> Myrtti, hellanzb, how do I gain "higher powers" I am the only user

[22:54] <unr3a1> I am still running 8.04, and want to do an upgrade rather than a clean install
[22:54] <unr3a1> but the 8.10 is not showing up in the update manager
[22:54] <iaindalton> titan_ark_: Ubuntu exists under the illusion that users will never need to use the command line.  Unfortunately, that is still untrue in many cases.
[22:54] <Slart> !upgrade | unr3a1
[22:54] <Until_It_Sleeps> !help I attempted to download a Nvidia display driver, but the download failed due to a reboot, and now it refused to download again. How do I remove the failed download, or otherwise fix this problem?

[22:54] <helo> wow... liveusb has taken about 10 hours so far, and looks to take another few before finishing
[22:54] <endeavormac> how can i mount a .bin file which is a ... iso?

[23:03] <zeke> yes the kingston is the thumbdrive
[23:04] <mads> Myrtti, but how can I try to uninstall it when I have installedi t? I have used http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nzb-par-and-unrar-all-in-one-using-hellanzb.html
[23:04] <Slart> qcjn: oh.. then all the tutorials in the forums should work
[23:04] <glitsj16> tlchack5: no trouble at all :)
[23:04] <noiz> Zeke -> okay give me a second here.
[23:04] <mads> its installed in exactly those dirs
[23:04] <Slart> Gaming4JC: hmm.. that looks ok, can't see anything bad in that log
[23:04] <Until_It_Sleeps> noiz: It's the nvidia-glx-177, which was listed in the driver dialog, right? Synaptics automatically selected 2 other packages.
[23:04] <noiz> Zeke -> Go to /media in nautilus and tell me if you see the drive.
[23:04] <Mick> Is there anything that I can do to get two different distros of Ubuntu working on two seperate drives?
[23:04] <qcjn> Slart: i think , it s something with the password ? is it the ont of the phone or of the computer or what ?
[23:05] <Gaming4JC> Slart: So why would I be getting both Windows chkdsk and fsck errors on boot?
[23:05] <Slart> qcjn: you mean when pairing?
[23:05] <zeke> i have a symbolic link to cdrom and cdrom0
[23:05] <Gaming4JC> Slart: I reformatted but the problem was the same. Which leads me to believe hardware failure of some sort...
[23:05] <Slart> Gaming4JC: I have no idea.. you haven't pleased the little hardware gnomes living inside your computer? ;)
[23:05] <titan_ark_> Slart: pkill transmission doesnt seem to be doing its work :S or as usual I am doing it wrong!
[23:05] <tlchack5> last question: i have my computer (a dell running linux) hooded up to a hub that my laptop shares wifi with via a crossover cable (my laptop runs vista). How can i set up my dell running linux to be able to share files with other computers on the hub?
[23:05] <noiz> Zeke -> You must have automounting disabled somehow.
[23:05] <Gaming4JC> Slart: lol...
[23:06] <CrocoJet> someone here use apport?
[23:06] <Myrtti> mads: *if* you had done it the way it's supposed to, you could have uninstalled it either with GUI or a single command line option, "sudo aptitude remove hellanzb"... but now... let me look
[23:06] <clearzen> where can I look for info on manually editing/creating a xorg.conf file?
[23:06] <noiz> Zeke -> So the trick is going to be to get it working again. What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[23:06] <_dbd_l12> zeke: could you paste the output of dmesg into http://paste.pocoo.org (the last 20 lines after you've inserted the stick will probably do)
[23:06] <zeke> 8.10
[23:06] <CrocoJet> where I can find information generate from apport?
[23:06] <Slart> Gaming4JC: if smart thinks the drive is ok I would start searching for other reasons.. but I can't really think of anything that would trash the hard drive like that
[23:06] <Myrtti> mads: that doesn't tell where it's actually installed to
[23:07] <qcjn> Slart: from my phone i can't see the computer, but can see the phone from the computer ? so the phone ask me to accept connection, then a password, and it failes even before i write the whole password
[23:07] <mads> can I search it somehow?
[23:07] <Slart> titan_ark_: hmm, perhaps the process isn't called transmission.. take a look in top or htop and see what it is called
[23:07] <clearzen> !xorg
[23:07] <glitsj16> clearzen: man xorg.conf
[23:07] <noiz> Zeke -> Ah yes. dmesg. I forgot about that one. Dmesg will give you an address you can use to manually mount the usb stick.
[23:07] <clearzen> glitsj16: RTFM I know
[23:07] <_dbd_l12> clearzen: it's in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Be sure to make a backup before editing.
[23:07] <zeke> crap i have to leave, i'll be back later though, sorry guys and gals
[23:08] <titan_ark_> Slart: just checked it is "transmission"
[23:08] <Slart> qcjn: hmm.. that sounds odd.. it might be some problem with your bluetooth reciever.. or a bug ... hard to tell
[23:08] <mads> Myrtti, cant I jsut use the apt-get and hope it overwrites it? :p
[23:08] <_VIM_> If people wanted to "RTFM" or google all day long they'd not be in here asking for help :)
[23:09] <Slart> titan_ark_: hmm.. pkill -9  might work better.. but killing stuff with -9 isn't really nice.. you really should find another way to do it
[23:09] <josh_> is therer a safemode for linux?
[23:09] <Myrtti> mads: sure you can hope, I doubt it though
[23:09] <tlchack5> how do you set up xubuntu to share files via lan with a vista os?
[23:09] <glitsj16> titan_ark_: are you using the cli version of transmission ?
[23:09] <alpha7> how login as a root?
[23:09] <alpha7> in terminal?
[23:09] <Slart> alpha7: don't.. do you want a root shell?
[23:10] <alpha7> Slart ya
[23:10] <josh_> i should say a savmode analog with grub?
[23:10] <_VIM_> !root
[23:10] <titan_ark_> Slart: when i try pkill transmission after that it just starts behaving wierd, it continues to run and the download is happening but the total data remains the same
[23:10] <alpha7> Slart but how i'm trying drag or use the command to cp font files to font folder
[23:10] <Slart> alpha7: man sudo will show you another way.. sudo -i or sudo -s.. I can't remember which it is
[23:10] <titan_ark_> glitsj16: No
[23:10] <tonyyarusso> Slart: both of those work, they just treat the environment differently.
[23:11] <glitsj16> titan_ark_: look into installing transmission-cli and save you some hairpulling ;)
[23:11] <rdz> hi all. does anybody know a place, where you can download ppd files for all kinds of printers? it's seems that there is no driver for my printer included in ubuntu
[23:11] <Slart> alpha7: drag the font files to a folder called .fonts in your home folder.. much easier
[23:11] <alpha7> Slart it wouldn't allow me
[23:11] <titan_ark_> glitsj16 i am a total n00b just started linux! going entirely cli will drive me nuts!
[23:11] <Slart> alpha7: or start nautilus as root, gksudo nautilus.. but be very careful with that window.. one little misplaced drag and drop and your system could be dead
[23:12] <mads> Myrtti, but when its installed with apt-get how do I configure it ? I dont know how to see where it is installed automaticly

[23:12] <glitsj16> titan_ark_: nothing keeps you from having both installed at the same time, use the cli for cron etc. it's designed for that use case
[23:13] <Slart> well.. I'm off to bed now.. good night everyone
[23:13] <qcjn> Slart: i m on the phone

[23:13] <Slart> qcjn: ask the channel about it.. I need my beauty sleep.. (as if it's going to change anything)
[23:13] <Myrtti> mads: I suppose the configuration files will be in the same place as with the other one
[23:13] <glitsj16> titan_ark_: sudo apt-get install transmission-cli

[23:17] <cheryl> how do i run applacations on xubuntu such as bitcomet please help
[23:18] <Vic> Hey.
[23:18] <Vic> Hey hey.
[23:18] <nsadmin> tina fey
[23:19] <_dbd_l12> cheryl: bitcomet is windows only iirc. You can try azureus which can do the same (you can install it with "sudo apt-get install azureus" in the terminal (or use synaptic package manager)
[23:19] <mads> Cant I somehow get admin rights when I try to edit a text file that needs admin rights to edit using gedit? get an error each time I try to save it
[23:19] <tlchack5> does anybody know how to share files between unbuntu and vista using LAN running through a hub?
[23:19] <venus> azureus oO
[23:19] <_dbd_l12> mads: gksudo gedit file
[23:19] <nsadmin> mads: if it's your box you can su
[23:19] <mads> so I need to open it through terminal?
[23:20] <cheryl> thank you were can i find those sudo ext
[23:20] <nsadmin> if you set a root passwd then ssh root@localhost then you should e able to run x apps even tho you logged into x as a plain user
[23:20] <dergringo> Hi. I created a bookmark in Places using "Connect to server". Now how do I add a shortcut to the desktop pointing to that bookmark?
[23:21] <nsadmin> if you want to do this you can... not really recommended
[23:22] <whyameye> I ran the updates on Intrepid 32 bit (kernel) now my video is fubar. Nvidia proprietary drivers loaded by ubuntu's hardware manager. WTF? Anybody else having troubles? Tried to revert to no avail...
[23:22] <titan_ark_> glitsj16: how do i invoke the damn thing :S
[23:22] <aaron__> anyone know a command to disable bluetooth?
[23:22] <nsadmin> maybe those things are available there
[23:23] <wvmac3_> does gnome use suspend to ram or to disk as default. i need to suspend to disk
[23:23] <noiz> Whyameye -> You'll probably need to purge the drivers and reinstall them
[23:23] <glitsj16> titan_ark_: transmissioncli doesn't work ?
[23:24] <whyameye> noiz: tried that. (apt-get remove, apt-get install)
[23:24] <noiz> Whyameye -> There's a lot of trouble with the Nvidia drivers this version as well as the restricted driver manager.
[23:24] <ianj_> whats the best ubuntu option for old hardware? I want to test and format harddrives easily as well
[23:25] <human> ahem wrong channel :)
[23:25] <whyameye> noiz: I thought nvidia was the best for linux. I guess it depends on the time of day, huh?
[23:25] <noiz> Whyameye -> Try: sudo apt-get remove nvidia* and then reinstall the drivers with SYNAPTIC. Then you should be able to enable them again with the restricted driver manager.
[23:26] <titan_ark_> glitsj16: OMG it will take me hours to figure this out!!!
[23:26] <cheryl> were do i find the apps to run exacutable files canyou help new to ubuntu are there any kind of instuctions please help
[23:26] <lucax> hello, is it possible to downgrade from intrepid to hardy?
[23:26] <Gaming4JC> ianj_: Probably Xfce, although it's pretty limited it is easy on old comps.
[23:26] <_dbd_l12> aaron__: try installing and using sysv-rc-conf. It will allow you to remove the bluetooth module from the startup list. Or you could try adding "blacklist bluetooth" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and then reboot
[23:26] <glitsj16> titan_ark_: what exactly are you trying to achieve ?
[23:27] <jasehel1> hello
[23:27] <Ne0n_Lightz> i installed 8.10 32bit and when i rebooted to finish the install, there was no option to boot into ubuntu, how do i fix???
[23:27] <ianj_> Gaming4JC: thanks, ill check it out
[23:27] <titan_ark_> glitsj16: the scheduler on transmission doesnt seem to be working so i thought i could start and kill it at specified times using cron.
[23:27] <titan_ark_> managed to invoke it now killing it seems to be the task!
[23:27] <_dbd_l12> Gaming4JC: disagree with the "limited" part of XFCE :|
[23:28] <_dbd_l12> titan_ark_: "ps aux | grep name_of_process_to_kill" --> look at the pid's to kill and then "sudo kill xxx" (where xxx = pid)
[23:28] <G-Blunted> Hey i have 3 operating systems and i want to uninstall a 32bit linux install...what is the best way to do this?
[23:29] <Gaming4JC> Hmm what is the worst thing that can happy to an Ubuntu PC? I'm seeing all of these "kernel patches" all the time. How secure is Ubuntu? o_O (I alreadly read I don't need a firewall/antivirus etc)
[23:29] <_dbd_l12> titan_ark_: ah ok, i thought you needed a one-time-kill
[23:29] <titan_ark_> _dbd_l12 no no at a specific time
[23:29] <Gaming4JC> This article is of interest: http://www.itsecurity.com/features/ubuntu-secure-install-resource/ (It says to use a firewall and anti-virus) :P
[23:29] <newbie3296464> hi, i'm using vmware under ubuntu and can't see my ports forwarded, can someone plz give me a hint or direct me to another room for that question i have? thank you
[23:30] <Ne0n_Lightz> i installed 8.10 32bit and when i rebooted to finish the install, there was no option to boot into ubuntu, how do i fix???
[23:31] <Gaming4JC> Ne0n_Lightz: What does your PC do on reboot? It should display GRUB boot manager and allow you to boot Ubuntu
[23:31] <titan_ark_> prolly ill just get some sleep
[23:32] <glitsj16> titan_ark_: _dbd_112's solution will work, or simply running "killall transmission" on your prefered time no ? sorry to added to the confusion ...
[23:32] <titan_ark_> had enough for the day,
[23:32] <Ne0n_Lightz> Gaming4JC, it shows my other OS's. It shows the option to boot into Windows 7 or Vista, no ubuntu =[
[23:32] <_dbd_l12> titan_ark_: see this - this is exactly what you need http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5396
[23:32] <MCCPIcky> have 8.10 installed. it's not loading my nikon coolpix 4600
[23:32] <titan_ark_> glitsj16 i just tried killall. it dint work
[23:32] <glitsj16> titan_ark_: have a nice rest, see ya
[23:32] <_dbd_l12> titan_ark: second link when googling for "transmission-cli + cron" btw
[23:33] <_dbd_l12> titan_ark_: doesn't work ?
[23:33] <magcius> Hmm... I have the latest nVidia drivers, but I can only get 1600x1200 max. Any ideas why?
[23:33] <Dillizar> i cant install flash plugins pls help me
[23:34] <Gaming4JC> Ne0n_Lightz: That is a strange thing. Try this site, you can try replacing grub or editing the grub menu: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/
[23:34] <Gaming4JC> !grub
[23:34] <MCCPIcky> nividia is another problem
[23:34] <magcius> Dillizar, what did you try already?
[23:34] <Pricey> I have a file, and want to trim it. I want to remove "for example" 8th-21st characters of each line, and save the rest. Anyone got any bright ideas?
[23:34] <titan_ark_> _dbd_l12: firstly i am new to this interface! and its past 5 am! i guess il start afresh tomorrow and start reading up some literature. Killall from the terminal did not seem to do the task! or i am just plain stupid x-(
[23:34] <magcius> Pricey, awk
[23:34] <Dillizar> apt-get magcius says i have the newest version
[23:35] <whyameye> MCCPIcky: are you having probs with nvidia
[23:35] <magcius> Dillizar, what package are you trying to install?
[23:35] <Ne0n_Lightz> Gaming4JC, I'll check it out i guess..
[23:35] <Pricey> magcius: reading man now.
[23:35] <Dillizar> magcius, well i installed manually 10 but doesnt work
[23:35] <MCCPIcky> yes, used envyng to install driver but still not working
[23:35] <magcius> Dillizar, what do you mean by "doesn't work"
[23:35] <Ne0n_Lightz> Gaming4JC, I don't have ubuntu on a live cd, i mounted it on daemon tools. do i have to boot into a livecd? or is there another way
[23:35] <Dillizar> magcius, so i did it the easy way with apt-get
[23:36] <magcius> MCCPIcky, EnvyNG is outdated
[23:36] <whyameye> MCCPIcky: did it work before and just broke or ???
[23:36] <titan_ark_> thank you everyone for your help :)
[23:36] <titan_ark_> tada
[23:36] <Dillizar> magcius, when i go to a web with flash says pls install plug ins
[23:36] <MCCPIcky> no 8.10 was a fresh install
[23:36] <glitsj16> bye titan_ark_
[23:36] <magcius> Dillizar, did you exit Firefox completely and start it again?
[23:36] <MCCPIcky> have had nividia working under fedora and debian in the past
[23:37] <ianj_> what distinguishes xubuntu
[23:37] <whyameye> ok now the hardware driver isn't even listing nvidia video drivers as an option for me.
[23:37] <magcius> ianj_, it uses XFCE
[23:37] <jelly-bean> what would be the command to open a directory in the file explorer
[23:37] <ianj_> magcius: thanks
[23:37] <MadMax77> i compiled php and mysql 5.0 at the same time
[23:37] <MarcoPau> hello, I'm using usb-creator for ubuntu live on a pendrive and I would like to widen the extra space for data, cause the 250 megs I gave it flew away in a few minutes of usage
[23:37] <Gaming4JC> Ne0n_Lightz: The only way I can think of is through LiveCD. How did you manage to install GRUB onto your local from Windows via Daemon Tools?
[23:37] <magcius> jelly-bean, nautilus <FOLDER>
[23:37] <Dillizar> magcius, yeah and restart few times
[23:37] <MadMax77> and now i just replaced it with mysql 5.1
[23:37] <jelly-bean> magcius: thnx
[23:37] <MadMax77> but php is still showing mysql 5.0
[23:37] <magcius> Dillizar, what package did you install with apt-get?
[23:38] <MadMax77> how do i forget the upgrade
[23:38] <MadMax77> *force the upgrade
[23:38] <Dillizar> magcius, i cant install flash plugins pls help me
[23:38] <magcius> jelly-bean, that's assuming you're using GNOME, not KDE or XFCE
[23:38] <Gaming4JC> Ne0n_Lightz: I thought Daemon Tools only worked on Windows so it shouldn't effect your Local Disk (Hard Drive). :-/
[23:38] <Ne0n_Lightz> Gaming4JC, I just mounted the iso, the menu popped up and i hit install inside windows, and it finished and i hit reboot now, and it brought me into the boot menu i hit ubuntu and it finished the installation.
[23:38] <magcius> Dillizar, what command did you run with apt-get?
[23:38] <MCCPIcky>  MCCPIcky, EnvyNG is outdated, so what would you use?
[23:38] <Dillizar> magcius, i cant install flash plugins pls help me
[23:39] <Dillizar> magcius, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
[23:39] <Gaming4JC> Ne0n_Lightz: Ahh, must be something new. I've never tried Installing Ubuntu from within Windows. I would try from inside a LiveCD.
[23:39] <magcius> Dillizar, you're not listening. What command did you run? I need this in order to help you.
[23:39] <Dillizar> sorry bout that all past :P
[23:39] <Dillizar> magcius, i ran sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[23:39] <Ne0n_Lightz> Gaming4JC, the last time i used a livecd was over a year ago, do i neeed to setup a partition or anything? or will it just install and will both of my windows partitions be safe?
[23:39] <Dillizar> magcius, and the answer was flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version.
[23:41] <Ivanlul> http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/917/ccc3we7.jpg  You can see in this pic that I have less options in linux, is there any way to fix that?
[23:42] <Gaming4JC> Ne0n_Lightz: I'm guessing you have not alreadly installed Ubuntu. (otherwise it would have booted). On a clean install from LiveCD you click "Install" on the desktop. You are then presented with the partitioner, it will safely partition your drive.
[23:42] <Ne0n_Lightz> Gaming4JC, what speed should i use to write the image to the disk or does it not matter? and i installed it inside windows..
[23:42] <Gaming4JC> You can move the slider back and forth on how much room you want to give Ubuntu
[23:42] <Gaming4JC> Ne0n_Lightz: Doesn't matter, whatever your drive can do.
[23:43] <Ne0n_Lightz> Gaming4JC, but im about to completely erase it from windows so i can get ready to install from disk and okay ill do max lol.
[23:43] <whyameye> where does intrepid specify the video driver? It isn't /etc/X11/xorg.conf anymore...
[23:43] <cheryl> were can i find sudo or sinapptics packit maneger please help last ? promise
[23:43] <Gaming4JC> Ne0n_Lightz: Can you explain to me how you installed Ubuntu "inside" Windows?
[23:43]  * Gaming4JC googles...
[23:44] <NFischer> cheryl System>Administration>SynapticPackageManager ?!
[23:44] <Dillizar> magcius, it works on opera but not on mozilla
[23:44] <Commie_Cary> my dvd drive has labelflash support but ubuntu dosnt reconize it what do I do
[23:44] <Gaming4JC> Ne0n_Lightz: Are you using a virtual machine to install Ubuntu inside Windows? Otherwise I believe it is impossible. lol. LiveCD is the way to go.,
[23:44] <Ivanlul> How do I access my video card options in linux? I have an ATI radeon xpress 200
[23:44] <syva> hey, i just installed windows onto a spare partition, however it must have removed grub or something so i dont have the option to dual boot
[23:44] <cheryl> thank you i appreciate it
[23:44] <syva> how can i get grub back
[23:44] <Ne0n_Lightz> Gaming4JC, ill explain exactly what i did. i dled the iso for ubuntu 8.10 32bit off of ubuntu.com Then, I mounted it with Daemon tools, and a menu popped up and said Demo and full install, install inside windows or learn more. i hit install inside windows
[23:45] <Ne0n_Lightz> then it installed and said reboot now or later and i rebooted and it didnt have the ubuntu boot option
[23:45] <nsadmin> syva /msg ubottu grub
[23:45] <Gaming4JC> strange
[23:45] <Ne0n_Lightz> have you ever heard of wubi lol? its not impossible trust me
[23:45] <whyameye> is there a way I can just reinstall Intrepid without it erasing all my files?
[23:45] <zloog> oin #haskell
[23:45] <syva> nsadmin, thanks babe
[23:46] <Commie_Cary> my dvd drive has labelflash support but ubuntu dosnt reconize it what do I do
[23:46] <Gaming4JC> Ne0n_Lightz: Ah. I see now, I am unfamiliar with the installer on Windows. Sorry. :-/
[23:46] <Ne0n_Lightz> Gaming4JC, will it still install normal if i have already a dual boot?
[23:47] <Gaming4JC> Ne0n_Lightz: My guess is you did install Ubuntu onto your hard drive alreadly?
[23:47] <whyameye> the intrepid hardware manager is no longer finding my nvidia card. What can I do to repair this?
[23:47] <Gaming4JC> Ne0n_Lightz: If you did you shouldn't need to install it again, just fix the existing.
[23:47] <Pricey> magcius: Check out 'cut's -c option... that sounds much better ;)
[23:47] <Ne0n_Lightz> Gaming4JC, too late now, deleted all of ubuntu. im writing the iso to a disk for the new install that will not be inside windows.
[23:47] <Pricey> magcius: much simpler to understand for me :)
[23:48] <Commie_Cary> my dvd drive has labelflash support but ubuntu dosnt reconize it what do I do
[23:49] <hlm> I dont have an ubuntu splash screen (loading) but I can switch and see text, whats wrong with it?
[23:49] <Gaming4JC> Ne0n_Lightz: Ok shouldn't be a problem then.  It will resize existing partitions.
[23:50] <Ne0n_Lightz> Gaming4JC: 700gigs. i have about 600gigs left.
[23:50] <hlm> ne0n, im jealous :(
[23:50] <Gaming4JC> Ne0n_Lightz: Wow, plenty of space. Just use the slider to give Ubuntu 300GB or so
[23:50] <Gaming4JC> or less
[23:50] <Gaming4JC> lol
[23:50] <Commie_Cary> my dvd drive has labelflash support but ubuntu dosnt reconize it what do I do
[23:51] <Gaming4JC> I've had it runing comfortably on 60GBs
[23:51] <hlm> gaming, im jealous
[23:51] <Ne0n_Lightz> Gaming4JC: i usually give ubuntu like 10gb because it messes up countless amounts of times. ive installed it id say about 20-25 times now
[23:51] <Gaming4JC> hml, lol
[23:51] <hlm> all I got is a 40gig
[23:51] <Ne0n_Lightz> Gaming4JC:pisses me off quite a bit =
[23:51] <Ne0n_Lightz> =\
[23:52] <Gaming4JC> Ne0n_Lightz: You can easily repair the Ubuntu install if something goes wrong.
[23:52] <badfish69> does anybody know of a tool to tag wma files on ubuntu? seems to me to be a sorely needed application
[23:52] <Gaming4JC> Ne0n_Lightz: Some-what-easily...

[23:57] <hlm> I dont have an ubuntu splash screen (loading) but I can switch and see text, whats wrong with it?
[23:57] <tonylthornton> I've used gparted to "format" the drive, but the data still remains.
[23:57] <Gaming4JC> Ne0n_Lightz: If all else fails theres the forums :)
[23:57] <Ne0n_Lightz> marqueed: oh. well you said you guess this isnt strict ubuntu like someone asked about windows
[23:57] <Gaming4JC> byes for now
