[16:33] <Farbe_> Welche Ubuntu verison ist das ? kann mir mal jemand sagen aus welcher serie das ist http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOk0a9e7Opw
[16:33] <ikonia> !de | Farbe_
[16:33] <Death__> edbian: sorry
[16:33] <edbian> Death__, It's k
[16:33] <sniperjo_> ikonia:  and if it was self healing mesh networks on anything ?
[16:33] <researcher123> how do I know if I should install 32 bit or 64 bit system on my machine
[16:34] <pankaj_sharma> ikonia: buddy i want to configure mail server.. is there any book from where i start learning?
[16:34] <ikonia> sniperjo_: not here
[16:34] <ovy> anyone, how can i copy amr files from my phone. it seems that mp3 and other files i can copy but there's a problem with amr files. it says "unsupported". is there any fix? (or do i really have to use windows to copy those files from my phone?)
[16:34] <edbian> researcher123, 64bit systems enabled you to use more than 3.5 Gb of ram.  That's the point of it.  Do you have that much ram or more?
[16:34] <ikonia> pankaj_sharma: many, check amazon and the help.ubuntu.com site
[16:34] <Ken8521> sdmadmin, i've not looked at clonezilla's live CD options, but maybe it has a network drive option?
[16:34] <sniperjo_> ikonia: ha, any suggestions ?
[16:34] <Death__> edbian: i actually just realized i typed it wrong i think it might be working now ill let u know in a min
[16:34] <ikonia> sniperjo_: no
[16:34] <marcello__> \list
[16:34] <pankaj_sharma> ikonia: thanks bro
[16:34] <sniperjo_> ikonia: oh
[16:34] <fasta> Is libps in Ubuntu?
[16:35] <researcher123> edbian: how do I know how much RAM i have
[16:35] <edbian> Death__, ha.  Ok?  How long does it take to see if the window decorations are there?
[16:35] <Ken8521> researcher123, free -m
[16:35] <edbian> researcher123, free -m in a term.
[16:35] <edbian> researcher123, Or look at gnome's system monitor.
[16:35] <marcello__> ciao
[16:35] <sdmadmin> yes network drive option would be good
[16:35] <marcello__> !list
[16:35] <maco> fasta: doesntlook like
[16:35] <marcello__> ho capito
[16:35] <Ken8521> edbian, you know, i never realized system monitor showed installed memory...lol
[16:35] <researcher123> edbian: i have 2 GB RAM
[16:36] <edbian> Ken8521, ha
[16:36] <researcher123> can I use 64 bit system
[16:36] <Death__> edbian: i entered it into the terminal and it said it wasnt installed and tole me how to install it..  it just finished
[16:36] <maco> researcher123: yes
[16:36] <edbian> researcher123, Then you don't need a 64 bit system.  If you have a 64bit processor than you can use a 64 bit OS. (to no gain if you have < 3Gb of ram)
[16:36] <researcher123> maco: whats the advantage of 64 bit over 32 bit
[16:36] <Ken8521> researcher123, you can... personally i think there's more disadvantages to 64bit than advantages.. but that will depend on your hardware
[16:36] <edbian> Death__, ah, ok.
[16:36] <edbian> researcher123, Allowing you to use more ram
[16:36] <maco> researcher123: at 2GB? not much
[16:37] <Death__> edbian: ok still dosent seem to be working
[16:37] <edbian> researcher123, The 64 bit software is less popular so theoretically it is less bug tested.
[16:37] <edbian> Death__, What command did you run.  What happened?
[16:37] <researcher123> But how do I know if my processor is 64 bit
[16:37] <ikonia> researcher123: use 32bit
[16:37] <Ken8521> researcher123, if you don't know, use 32bit...
[16:37] <maco> edbian: ehhh bugs that depend on your arch are rare outside of kernel space
[16:37] <edbian> researcher123, Do you know what processor sticker on your pc?  that's the easiest way
[16:38] <Death__> gtk-window-decorator --replace
[16:38] <Death__>    it told me to install compiz-gnome
[16:38] <maco> researcher123: look up the model on the internet, or maybe tell us what it is and we might know
[16:38] <researcher123> Intel
[16:38] <maco> researcher123: that's a brand.
[16:38] <Ken8521> intel only makes like 5 gazillion processors
[16:38] <researcher123> pentium 4
[16:38] <edbian> Death__, just do: compiz --replace&
[16:38] <maco> researcher123: 32bit
[16:38] <edbian> researcher123, Not 64bit
[16:38] <researcher123> ok.thanks
[16:38] <Ken8521> researcher123, use 32bit, as said
[16:38] <edbian> researcher123, no prob
[16:38] <researcher123> ok.thanks again
[16:39] <edbian> researcher123, Have fun with Ubuntu! :)
[16:39] <smerz> ubuntu rulez :>
[16:39] <Ken8521> if youu have to ask "can i use 64bit"... it's probably best to just assume you should use 32bit, but thats my thinking
[16:39] <researcher123> u too
[16:39] <Death__> edbian: oh wow lol worked =P
[16:39] <Death__> edbian: thanks alot man
[16:39] <edbian> Ken8521, I think if you ask then it's best to learn.
[16:39] <ovy> edbian, how can i copy amr files from my phone in ubuntu 10.04?
[16:39] <edbian> Death__, People are always surprised when I give them commands that fix their problems! :P
[16:40] <Death__> edbian: hahahah yea lol
[16:40] <Guest37298> how do i install adope flash
[16:40] <edbian> ovy, Is your phone MSC or MTP ?
[16:40] <Ken8521> !flash | Guest37232
[16:41] <Ken8521> woops.. Guest37298 see above
[16:41] <edbian> Death__, Glad it worked.  Close the term window to make sure it stays
[16:41] <Guest37298> k
[16:41] <edbian> Guest37298, I'll save you some time: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[16:41] <Guest37298> Ken8521, thnx
[16:41] <graf3125> i have a problem with my windows (as in what shows programs as opposed to the operating system) in ubuntu if anyone can help. i am running 10.4

[16:41] <edbian> Guest37298, Make sure you're connected to the internet!
[16:41] <edduard_> hi to all. There is a solution to fix nvidia driver ? Always I've 640x480 . can someone helpme please?
[16:42] <jonathan__> *sigh* does anyone know where I could get help with wine? I have a couple of games I want to play, but I'm getting so many different errors I don't know where to start.
[16:42] <ovy> edbian, i donno, all i know is that mp3 files and other tipe of files i can copy from my phone to pc but amr gives an error -6 unsupported
[16:42] <edbian> Death__, No problem!  The window decorations program just crashed.    Then it's MSC (media storage controller)
[16:43] <ovy> edbian, yes, usb
[16:43] <Ken8521> jonathan__: well... i don't really know what to tell you then...
[16:43] <edbian> ovy, Go in there, change the extension (to .mine or something, it's arbitrary) and then try to move them.  Are they in a different folder or something than then .mp3 ?
[16:43] <sreeju> i have installed dock and it says to enable compositing and restart dock for full function
[16:43] <cntb> ubuntu try netbook 10.04 sees my wifi ralink3090 on lgx130 notebook but doesnot use it what is the next step?
[16:43] <sreeju> how to do?
[16:43] <sreeju> please help
[16:43] <ovy> edbian, i tried that, to change the extension, but i cannot change it
[16:43] <edbian> sreeju, System -> Preferences -> Apperances -> Desktop effects -> normal or extra
[16:44] <jonathan__> Ken8521: lol #wine is invite only now.... interesting...
[16:44] <Ken8521> cntb: some of the ralink chipsets are a bit banannas w/ Ubuntu
[16:44] <edbian> ovy, Try moving the files as root. gksu nautilus
[16:44] <Ken8521> jonathan__: i'm there now, and i was not invited
[16:44] <Ken8521> jonathan__: #winehq  sorry
[16:44] <intel352> hey guys, is it possible to snap windows in Ubuntu the same way as Windows 7?
[16:44] <jonathan__> Ken8521: ahhhhh
[16:45] <cntb> a bit banannas Ken8521 ? ralink3090 are they so many? thought they are few
[16:45] <erana> wow MSX 2 looks cool...
[16:45] <edbian> intel352, Do you mean to make them change size on the screen edges?  I think compiz does that if you set it to extra.  If not you can use CCSM.  Not sure it has the feature though.
[16:45] <ovy> edbian, in gksu nautilus it doesn't show me the phone
[16:45] <Ken8521> cntb: they just seem to be problematic(at least what I read).. cntb have you identified what chipset is on the wireless device?
[16:45] <edbian> ovy, You just have to find it.  Go to /media
[16:46] <edbian> ovy, The phones connected I presume
[16:46] <intel352> edbian: to clarify, I mean so that if you drag to the left or right side, the window resizes to half the screen (vertically). if you drag to the top, it maximizes
[16:46] <cntb> on the back says ralink 3090 for sure Ken8521
[16:46] <graf3125> hello everybody. i am having problems with the windows on ubuntu 10.4.......
[16:46] <intel352> edbian: openSUSE actually does it, I was surprised
[16:46] <edbian> intel352, I think compiz has that option.  Not 100% sure.  Change it to extra and try
[16:46] <ovy> edbian, it only shows my HDD, i went there at media, only floppy and HDD are shown
[16:46] <Ken8521> cntb: thats not really what i asked... is it USB, internal, etc?
[16:46] <intel352> edbian: thx, i'll try
[16:46] <sreeju> i have installed dock and it says to enable compositing and restart dock for full function
[16:46] <andrr> I've updated to Ubuntu 10.10, but now whenever I boot the Grub menu is rendered, and asks me what version of Ubuntu's kernel to load.Do I need to delete the obsolete kernel?
[16:46] <giggsey> I'm in the middle of an IP migration, and have two different subnets connected via eth0 and eth1. Is it possible to forward/redirect/whatever all traffic coming in eth0 to eth2?
[16:46] <edbian> intel352, That's it's somewhere in compiz (or maybe KDE) hopefully compiz though
[16:46] <graf3125> .....the top half containing title, minimize, maximize, and exit is missing..........
[16:46] <cntb> internal on lg x130
[16:47] <Ken8521> cntb: are you on ubuntu now?
[16:47] <sreeju> how to do? please help
[16:47] <cntb> chat is on windows firefox
[16:47] <ovy> edbian, still i see the phone icons on the desktop so the phone is connected
[16:47] <edbian> ovy, open a normal nautilus window and go to the phone.  Press the up button once and see what folder you're in.  Go to that same folder with root nautilus.
[16:47] <cntb> lg x130 beside Ken8521
[16:47] <graf3125> ......and after doing a failsafe gnome session, i have ruled out that a program is the cause of the problem......
[16:47] <intel352> edbian: i'll bet it's kde, that's what opensuse runs by default now
[16:47] <edbian> ovy, I GUARANTEE that root nautilus can get to the phone.  We just have to find it.
[16:47] <edduard_> AAAAAA Attention please----- is There a solution to fix nvidia driver ? Always I've 640x480 . can someone help me please?
[16:47] <Ken8521> cntb: what?  is the machine running ubuntu right now... or do you have it under another OS?
[16:48] <edbian> intel352, Yes.  Hence my suspicions.  but it's likely that it was compiz
[16:48] <graf3125> ......however i do not know what specifically is causing the problem.......
[16:48] <cntb> lgx130 started from isolinux try boot from cd netbook 10.04 Ken8521
[16:48] <graf3125> .....if it helps any i have installed a program called "3d Acceleration" before turning my computer off for the day....
[16:48] <erana> edduard:  try XDrake or x86config
[16:48] <Ken8521> cntb: if you're not gong to answer my question, im' not going to bother helping you...
[16:48] <Ken8521> i didn't ask you any of that
[16:48] <cntb> no Ken8521 two machines one beside the other no virtuals
[16:48] <ovy> edbian, u mean something like this? gphoto2://[usb:002,004]/
[16:49] <sreeju> i have installed dock and it says to enable compositing and restart dock for full function
[16:49] <sreeju> what to do?
[16:49] <edduard_> rtana; thak you
[16:49] <Ken8521> cntb: ok.. now AGAIN... is the machine w/ ubuntu, booted up to ubuntu right now?.. how hard is that to undersand
[16:49] <cntb> lg x130 started from cdboot
[16:49] <Ken8521> forget it.
[16:49] <edbian> ovy, I don't understand that output.  Go up again and again.  Eventually you will be in a folder.
[16:49] <cntb> yes it is ken
[16:49] <edbian> ovy, How are you viewing the files on the phone?
[16:49] <cntb> yes ken
[16:50] <cntb> just finished test there
[16:50] <ovy> edbian, they show in normal nautilus like separate partitions mounted on the desktop
[16:50] <cntb> and ralink3090 seen but not used
[16:50] <sreeju> please help me
[16:50] <graf3125> me too
[16:51] <edbian> ovy, Usually when something is mounted on the desktop it's secretly mounted in folders in /media and symlinked to the desktop.  Can you give me a screenshot?
[16:51] <Mcjayke> hi all.
[16:51] <Ken8521> edduard_: what nvidia device do you have?.. do you have a driver available in sys/admin/drivers?
[16:51] <edbian> sreeju, Don't just say "please help me" repost your question every now and then.  When people know how to help they will.
[16:51] <moetunes> sreeju:  compositing is the desktop effects
[16:51] <Raiders32> Is Ubuntu a Plug and Play O/S?
[16:51] <edbian> Raiders32, Plug and Play means you can install drivers and software without having to restart the system.  The answer is yes.
[16:52] <cntb> Ken8521: what info is missing about try netbook on this lg x130 notebook according to you ?
[16:52] <Ken8521> Raiders32: it depends.. what are you trying to plug and play?
[16:52] <andrr> I've updated to Ubuntu 10.10 from Ubuntu 10.4, and now whenever I boot, the Grub menu is rendered and I am asked to choose what version of Ubuntu's kernel to start.Does this mean I have to delete the obsolete kernel?
[16:52] <edbian> Raiders32, Unless you change the kernel.  Than you have to restart
[16:52] <sreeju> how to enable it?
[16:53] <edbian> andrr, You don't have to.  The system leaves them there in case something goes wrong with the newer kernel and you have something to fall back on.  In order to remove them cleany search their the name (2.6.32-X) in synaptic and remove the packages of the old kernels.
[16:53] <Raiders32> I'm building a computer mother board has an option to enable 'plug and play o/s'
[16:53] <edbian> andrr, Do NOT remove all the kernels.  Then you won't have an OS to boot! :P
[16:53] <edbian> Raiders32, enable it.
[16:53] <Raiders32> just wondering if it is necessary
[16:53] <ovy> edbian, it would be easyer to fix the problem in teamviewer (rather than to send photos) i give u my id and passw in private
[16:53] <Raiders32> thanks

[16:55] <giggsey> How can I forward all traffic to <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[16:55] <sreeju>  i have done this ("ALT + F2 and type compyz --replace and pressed enter")now the windows are not fully maximizing. How to get back?
is it stable?means does it create any problems?
[16:56] <giggsey> (both IPs are connected to my box via separate NICs)
[16:56] <researcher123> how can I listen to internet radio on Ubuntu system
[16:56] <erana> giggsey: man route
[16:56] <giggsey> erana, ok
[16:56] <D4CH-> The command for downloading a http file is wget, what is the version of that, but uploading a file to an FTP?
[16:57] <edbian> D4CH-, You use the ftp command! :)
[16:57] <giggsey> erana, any idea of what command to actually run. I don't trust me and route :P
[16:57] <glebihan> ohio: I don't know I don't use it, it's a non official software so you always to be careful, but there are usually no problems (a quick google search doesn't show any)
[16:57] <erana> D4CH- : export FTP=ftp://.... ; ftp ${FTP}
[16:58] <D4CH-> I want to upload 1 file to a specific FTP. Can I do that in one line?
[16:58] <ogennadi> Hey all, anyone know how to set boot parameters for doing a network install with the ubuntu alternate install disc?
[16:58] <erana> ftp server.ip.net
[16:58] <edbian> D4CH-, read man ftp (yes you can)
[16:58] <erana> then put <file>
[16:59] <erana> (alt-tab ftp server)
[16:59] <ogennadi> I don't know where to set "preseed/url=http://host/path/to/preseed.cfg" (saw it in https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-using.html)
[16:59] <sacarlson> ogennadi: I guess you want to setup a pxeboot server.  do you have another system to setup as a pxeboot server?
[17:00] <glebihan> ohio: you can have a look at their bug tracker (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=283713&atid=1202992) to see what issues you might encounter
thanx again
[17:00] <xukun> I don't have sound anymore when I listen music with rhythmbox. AC3 sound is working perfectly. Any idea?
[17:01] <ogennadi> sacarlson: no, I don't. I thought that I could just specify a net location for the config file and continue the installation from physical media without having to remaster the iso
[17:01] <edbian> If I connect a cell phone (MSC) and it shows up on the desktop where is it mounted?
[17:01] <nozes> voltei, alguem sentiu saudade?
[17:01] <ogennadi> sacarlson: how would you go about doing an auto-install?
[17:02] <sacarlson> ogennadi: there are very small iso installs that can do something like that I guess
[17:02] <moetunes> !automate
[17:02] <Farbe_> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOk0a9e7Opw
[17:02] <ogennadi> !cloning
[17:03] <djomgg> what time well the ubu 10 10 come out ?
[17:03] <djomgg> any one now
[17:03] <moetunes> djomgg:  you were told earlier
[17:03] <djomgg> oki doki ..
[17:04] <djomgg> i just need one :(
[17:04] <djomgg> for my party to night ...
[17:04] <wildc4rd> afternoon all
[17:04] <ogennadi> sacarlson, moetunes : thanks, ppl. Guess I've got some more research to do :)
[17:05] <sacarlson> djomgg: you can try something close to what they will release now if you want.  if it changes you can update later
[17:05] <Farbe_> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOk0a9e7Opw
[17:05] <moetunes> Farbe_:  wrong channel for doing that mate
[17:05] <Farbe_> ok
[17:05] <Ken8521> cntb: now are you ready to answer a question
[17:06] <djomgg> ok
[17:06] <djomgg> i well tnx
[17:06] <sacarlson> ogennadi: as far as I know you need a local pxeboot server to install a system.  but with a small iso booted you can install almost anything
[17:08] <ogennadi> sacarlson: sorry, I mixed up my question. I don't want to do a net install. I just want to do an automatic install from a CD but use a config file that is not mastered onto the install media. So I thought putting the config file on the net would be the easiest way. And then I started calling that netinstalling even though it apprently isn't :)
[17:08] <sacarlson> ogennadi: oh ok ya that other responce sounded good for that
[17:09] <sacarlson> ogennadi: you can create custom cd installs
[17:09] <xukun> I lost all system sound like listening radio and playing mp3 files after a system hangup. What do I need to restart?
[17:09] <Nadav> can I install the ubuntu straight from the file
[17:09] <Nadav> without having to burn it into a CD?
[17:10] <ogennadi> sacarlson: just found this which explains how to set the boot options https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Change Boot Options Temporarily For An Existing Installation . Do you think it'd be useful to add this link to this page to clarify? https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html
[17:10] <sacarlson> Nadav: you can use a usb flash disk to install it
[17:10] <edbian> Nadav, Possibly.  If you use unetbootin you can boot the file
[17:10] <moetunes> !install | Nadav
[17:10] <edbian> Nadav, But you won't be able to edit the partition the file is on.
[17:11] <Nadav> its alright, I have it on partiton D atm
[17:11] <Nadav> I want to install it on a fresh partiton, partition I
[17:12] <xukun> anybody please?
[17:12] <xukun> I lost all system sound like listening radio and playing mp3 files after a system hangup. What do I need to restart?
[17:13] <Tdude> Hi
[17:14] <moetunes> xukun:  try   sudo service alsa restart
[17:14] <ohio> compiler
[17:14] <Tdude> Im thinking of switching to Ubuntu on my new computer
[17:14] <edbian> Tdude, do it
[17:14] <Tdude> Loads of friends that recommend it
[17:14] <sdoui> how can i stop the "Desktop" folder from regenerating itself in my $HOME?  i'm not running gnome, kde, or anything.  i think that at some point i installed an app that had some dependencies that installed some desktop component, even though my tiling WM has no desktop to speak of
[17:15] <Tdude> Im a Linux noob, been on OSX a few months earlier on a school computer. Mostly concerned about how hard it is to set up? Im thinking opf a Ubuntu only computer, no0t very interested in having Windows on it.
[17:15] <Nadav> well imma install it using wubi
[17:15] <edbian> Tdude, If you want only Ubuntu on the comp it's ridiculously easy to set up.
[17:15] <Nadav> BBL
[17:15] <Nadav> WISH ME GL :P
[17:15] <Tdude> Cool
[17:15] <moetunes> luck :]
[17:16] <Tdude> Cause I really don't like Wubi I've heard you have to use the Windows file system
[17:16] <Tdude> (which was the major reason I loved OSX)
[17:16] <MarshallJW> Tdude, yeah does all the work for you. I have ubuntu fully loaded on my computer now
[17:16] <jatt> I just bought a dvd, installed vlc (on ubuntu 10.04) but when I try to play VTS_01_0.VOB vlc says:
[17:16] <jatt> File reading failed: VLC could not read the file.
[17:16] <jatt> Which package should I install to be able to watch my dvd?
[17:16] <Tdude> Sweet :D
[17:16] <edbian> Tdude, You loved OS X because wubi is a windows based Ubuntu installer?
[17:16] <xukun> moetunes, thanks but then I get: alsa: unrecognized service
[17:16] <Tdude> No because of the file system
[17:16] <glebihan> sdoui: you can change the value of XDG_DESKTOP_DIR to $HOME in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, this will make your system consider your home folder as your desktop folder
[17:17] <MarshallJW> Tdude, Windows shitty crapped out on me so I just installed Ubuntu all the way.
[17:17] <edbian> Tdude, Unix and Linux use filesystems with similar features
[17:17] <Tdude> Oh
[17:17]  * Tdude newbie
[17:17] <edbian> Tdude, Ubuntu is a gateway to learning more about computers than you ever thought existed.
[17:17] <bhadresh> i'm facing problem regarding sharing files on network
[17:17] <Tdude> So I've heard
[17:17] <bhadresh> help me
[17:18] <sdoui> glebihan: that's fine, but it seems kind of like a hack.  for a month or so i had no Desktop folder, then it appeared b/c of some X app i installed. i have a suspicion i'm not using that app anymore and would like to find the offending culprit
[17:18] <Tdude> My friend switched to Ubuntu and he rocketed into computer guru heaven
[17:18] <biesbjerg> Hi guys, I've installed 10.10 beta and am having a weird problem. My USB-mouse stops responding after a random period of time (keyboard etc continues to work). I've tried disabling ACPI and settings various other boot flags but no luck. Anyone know how to fix this?
[17:18] <Tdude> Will read up a bit on installing and what Linux/Ubuntu really is
[17:18] <Sulumar> bhadresh: WHat exactly is your problem
[17:18] <edbian> Tdude, Ha.  It's not fast or easy I don't think.  But it is deep and liberating.
[17:18] <Tdude> Anyone have any recommended reading?
[17:18] <edbian> Tdude, If you have any questions PM me! :)
[17:18] <Tdude> Sweet
[17:18] <glebihan> sdoui: well I agree, it's not a very clean solution... but it's the only one I've been able to find so far...
[17:18] <Tdude> Cheers
[17:18] <MarshallJW> Tdude if anything install a Virtual Machine
[17:19] <Tdude> Is that the dual boot thing?  VM is a bit faster
[17:19] <Tdude> Buying a netbook
[17:19] <Tdude> It will have eh WinXP I think
[17:19] <edbian> Tdude, Dual boot means when the system starts it asks you which OS to boot into.    For example you can install from a jump drive if it's big enough.
[17:20] <sdoui> glebihan: i suppose it is better than nothing. i don't seem to have ubuntu-desktop or gnome desktop related packages installed. maybe it's something to do with gimp. i have so few X apps that i can't imagine what it is. i know it's not firefox
[17:20] <xukun> moetunes, any Idea why sudo service alsa restart will report: alsa: unrecognized service
[17:20] <Tdude> I see
[17:20] <Tdude> That would be nice
[17:20] <Sulumar> put the files to share in a folder togethet right cklick> proprieties > sharing
[17:20] <MarshallJW> If your installing it on a netbook get the netbook edition
[17:20] <MarshallJW> lighter os
[17:21] <c3l> MarshallJW: not really
[17:21] <Tdude> I've heard that the user interface isn't as clean as the Desktop one
[17:21] <Tdude> Well at least my friend said so
[17:21] <bhadresh> @sulumar- ain't working...... i tried....
[17:21] <Tdude> He prefer using the desktop version on his netbook
[17:21] <edbian> MarshallJW, netbook edition is just Ubuntu with a custom interface (with gnome internals) and compiz turned off.  I don't think it's lighter.
[17:21] <edbian> Tdude, That's opinion
[17:21] <c3l> Tdude: same here, the netbook interface isnt really effective
[17:22] <bhadresh> it asked me to install some samba package and did so but still in personal file sharing option it says some packages is missing.....
[17:22] <Tdude> Man Ubuntu has evolved a lot
[17:22] <Sulumar> check if samba is installed bhadresh
[17:22] <Tdude> I was looking at it a few years ago
[17:22] <Tdude> Progress for sure
[17:22] <edbian> Tdude, It is extremely sleek.
[17:22] <Tdude> Yah
[17:22] <Tdude> Btw, KDE or Gnome? I've understood it's userinterface only
[17:22] <sdoui> glebihan: anyway, thanks, i used that hack
[17:22] <Tdude> If so I'll go with Gnome tbh
[17:23] <edbian> Tdude, That's opinion as well.
[17:23] <glebihan> sdoui: you're welcome
[17:23] <Sulumar> what packages are missing exactely
[17:23] <edbian> Tdude, Linux is about choice and freedom. If you want others to choose things for you use Mac.
[17:23] <MarshallJW> lol
[17:23] <Tdude> Truth
[17:23] <Tdude> :P
[17:23] <bhadresh> its ain't specifying......
[17:23] <Tdude> Well you can change your wallpaper on Mac xD
[17:24] <edbian> Tdude, In Ubunt you can change your kernel code.
[17:24] <bhadresh> in help menu it said to download webdav bt after doing that too it ain't working.....
[17:25] <Tdude> Just joking a bit edbian
[17:25] <Sulumar> ok thats bad news; try restarting your ubuntu so that Init.d can load the new deamons properly
[17:25] <edbian> Tdude, :)  No worries.
[17:25] <Tdude> Can't wait for my netbook to arrive :D So excited on learning a new OS
[17:25] <bhadresh> a'ight
[17:26] <bhadresh> let me check
[17:26] <edbian> Tdude, You'll find that people take free software quite seriously in the Linux world.
[17:26] <geckosenator> how do I defragment a fat32 partition?
[17:26] <edbian> Tdude, why wait?  Make your live USB drive now and try it out on this computer (the one you're using right now)
[17:26] <MarshallJW> Tdude i'm still a bit new to ubuntu myself. Been using it for about 8 months. If that make you feel any better
[17:27] <Tdude> I can't really do that, my girlfriend ain't too happy with me fiddling around on her computer :/
[17:27] <Sulumar> i know restarting ubuntu is a bit hardcore to reload the deamons but idk what he exactely installed
[17:27] <edbian> Tdude, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[17:27] <nascentmind> Wow. Ubuntu has outdone itself with maverick. Thanks a lot guys!
[17:27] <Tdude> Ah sweet
[17:27] <edbian> Tdude, Ah, well then you'll have to wait.  Booting Ubuntu on it will FREAK her out.
[17:27] <Tdude> That's a lot edbian
[17:28] <niklas> Hello! I just started my old ubuntu and now I have some trouble with my nvidia card. I installed some official drivers which work fine. But after a restart ubuntu says, that the driver wont be able to boot correct or smth.
[17:28] <Tdude> Yeah she's not too happy with me using it at all but my old computer crashed so she can't really blame me hehe
[17:28] <geckosenator> anyone know a tool or command to defrag fat32?
[17:29] <edbian> geckosenator, Generally if something is so big it can get fragmented badly it isn't fat32
[17:29] <geckosenator> well I have 32gigs of storage
[17:30] <geckosenator> and its taking forever to delete files
[17:30] <geckosenator> which should be a constant speed operation, I guess in fat32 it isnt
[17:30] <geckosenator> anyway it says on ubuntuforums the easiest way to defrag is to copy all the data off, blank the partition and copy it back
[17:31] <edbian> geckosenator, How long is forever?  Is it a hdd?
[17:31] <geckosenator> its a usb flash drive
[17:31] <edbian> geckosenator, Have fun doing that
[17:31] <geckosenator> and its taking like 20 minutes to delete a bunch of files I had
[17:31] <edbian> geckosenator, It's a huge flash drive. (yeah constant operations to look up / write stuff)
[17:31] <geckosenator> well it would be nice if I could defrag it
[17:31] <geckosenator> since we all know fat32 gets fragmented with use
[17:32] <edbian> geckosenator, You could partition the drive ext4 ;)
[17:32] <geckosenator> yeah good idea
[17:33] <Maka> Greetings, I had 10.04 installed, and did the upgrade to 10.10 rc, when it was done with it's update and rebooted, it loads up fine until the gui. i can see the purple background and the cursor arrow moves with my mouse, but no gnome menu's ever come up. I can go to command line and everything is fine thre.. but no GUI. Please help? Do I need to reinstall gnome? How do I do that from command line?
[17:33] <geckosenator> but i'm using fat32 so I can trade files with people on all operating systems
[17:33] <shawnboy> Firefox trouble:Menu and URL drop down no longer works. Anybody experience this? Any solution?
[17:33] <bigblackbag> hi
[17:33] <bigblackbag> anybody  home?
[17:33] <tranqui> hello there :)
[17:34] <Farbe_> Can you tell me what music is in this Movie?  I haven't come across it before http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOk0a9e7Opw
[17:34] <edbian> Maka, sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop.  If it is installed (i'm betting it is and it's crashing when you boot) then try pressing alt-+F2 to run a term and in that term run nautilus&
[17:34] <geckosenator> oh I can run dfrag under dosemu
[17:34] <geckosenator> but it might not work with this size filesystem :-/
[17:34] <Tdude> Ah
[17:34] <edbian> geckosenator, there ya go
[17:34] <Tdude> Seriously
[17:34] <biesbjerg> I've installed 10.10 beta and am having a weird problem. My USB-mouse stops responding after a random period of time (keyboard etc continues to work). I've tried disabling ACPI and settings various other boot flags but no luck. Anyone know how to fix this?
[17:35] <Tdude> This is nice, I can just start the installation and then click "Erase and use entire disk" and it will remove everything and I'll end up with a fresh installation?
[17:35] <fasta> biesbjerg, does it work under another OS?\
[17:35] <Maka> Edbian, thank you I will try that.. I have tried alt-f2 and nothing happens.
[17:35] <edbian> biesbjerg, Figure out the module for the mouse and modprobe -r it then modprobe it.
[17:35] <edbian> Tdude, yep
[17:35] <fasta> biesbjerg, some manufacturers cannot produce working devices.
[17:35] <fasta> biesbjerg, or your mouse is simply broken.
[17:35]  * geckosenator crosses fingers
[17:35] <Maka> Edbian, i'll be back after i try the sudo apt-get thing :)  bye for now (booting back into ubuntu)
[17:35] <Tdude> That's exactally what I was hoping for
[17:36] <edbian> Maka, Good luck
[17:36] <shawnboy> does anyone know what's wrong with my firefox?
[17:36] <edbian> Tdude, Yeah, I told you it was easy :)
[17:36] <edbian> !ask | shawnboy
[17:36] <edbian> shawnboy, re-ask periodcially
[17:37] <shawnboy> Does anyone know why my firefox menu and dropdown has stopped working?
[17:37] <biesbjerg> fasta: I have two mouses hooked up to the computer (not wireless), it works perfectly in windows, and they stop working indepently of each other. After a reboot they both work again for some time
[17:37] <Xase> Something happened with the last update set, that has caused my Metacity not to load, nor gnome... when I reboot under appearances it says none is selected for visual effects, when I run metacity --replace it comes back. Also my icons do not appear unless I run metacity --replace
[17:37] <Tdude> Well what I have to prepare is some sort of USB device which can store the installation then
[17:37] <Xase> err not gnome but compiz.
[17:37] <biesbjerg> edbian: I have no idea how to do what you just said, or what it means
[17:37] <Tdude> Cool cool
[17:38] <fasta> biesbjerg, do you use custom drivers under Windows?
[17:38] <fasta> biesbjerg, that is, not the generic ones?
[17:38] <edbian> biesbjerg, :)  a module is a driver in linux.  Modules are just chunks of code essentially that you jam into the kernel to make hardware work.
[17:38] <biesbjerg> fasta: No, it's very generic mouses
[17:39] <biesbjerg> edbian: Ok, fair enough. How would I go about finding out which module is loaded for my mice?
[17:39] <andrr> I tried to load the 2.6.35 kernel, but an error which ended in "kerneal_thread_helper <some numbers>" was rendered.However, I can load the 2.6.32 kernel.I'm using Ubuntu 10.10
[17:39] <bluespotmouse> hi everyone!
[17:39] <edbian> biesbjerg, Any even, while the mouse is working run sudo lspci -k and look for your mouse.  It should list a driver for it.  Next time your mouses freezes, run sudo modprobe -r <module name> then sudo modprobe <module name>  without the <'s That should remove it and insert it.  Effectively restarting it.
[17:39] <fasta> biesbjerg, then I have no idea. I would suggest buying a new mice if you value your time, or sending all the details to the Linux kernel mailing list if you have the skills to go through that process.
[17:39] <EvilPhoenix> !isitoutyet
[17:39] <fasta> biesbjerg, otherwise send to Launchpad.
[17:39] <EvilPhoenix> andrr:  you'll need to ask in #ubuntu+1
[17:40] <EvilPhoenix> andrr:  since 10.10 isnt released yet
[17:40] <fasta> biesbjerg, otherwise these things will just be lost in the noise.
[17:40] <andrr> All right, thanks.
[17:40] <biesbjerg> fasta: that's the t hing. I've tried 3 mice now
[17:40] <fasta> biesbjerg, ok, that's indeed very strange.
[17:40] <fasta> biesbjerg, (for 99.99% it just works. )
[17:41] <biesbjerg> edbian: Okay, I'll give it a shot. thanks
[17:41] <edbian> biesbjerg, It's a problem with your USB ports I suspect.  Ignore what I said about drivers if it happens to different mice.
[17:41] <biesbjerg> edbian: happens to different mice, nomatter which ports I plug it into
[17:41] <edbian> biesbjerg, It's probably loading the exact same generic mouse driver for those three that it loads for 99% of mice in the world.  If nobody else is experiencing it than it isn't a driver issue.
[17:41] <perlsyntax> Howo i ad a usr to wicd?
[17:41] <fasta> edbian, but why does it work on Windows then?
[17:41] <biesbjerg> and they don't stop working all at the same time. right now one mouse is not working but the other is
[17:41] <edbian> biesbjerg, Perhaps the (very low level) usb controllers
[17:42] <perlsyntax> Is thereaway i can add a usr to wicd?
[17:42] <edbian> biesbjerg, fasta It works on windows?
[17:42] <nadav> hey
[17:42] <nadav> !
[17:42] <Tdude> Bye fopr now, will be back when my isntallation is getting closer I suppose
[17:42] <biesbjerg> edbian: Yes, never had a problem
[17:42] <nadav> Im back on ubuntu
[17:42] <nadav> feels good man!
[17:42] <nadav> :P
[17:42] <FloodBot3> nadav: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:42] <Tdude> :P have a good few days until then
[17:42] <shawnboy> Looking for solution to why firefox menus and dropdowns no longer work.
[17:42] <nadav> A question tho, how / where can I get drivers for my hardware?
[17:42] <biesbjerg> and actually I think I used to have Ubuntu 8.* installed with no problems too
[17:42] <Quantum_Ion> edbian, did that dude you were helping last night ever figure out his problem ?
[17:43] <edbian> biesbjerg, Then I literally have no idea.  Some low level quark.  try a different distro? :P
[17:43] <edbian> Quantum_Ion, I don't recall.
[17:43] <biesbjerg> haha :)
[17:43] <edbian> Quantum_Ion, What was the problem? His name?
[17:43] <EvilPhoenix> nadav:  it should come with them, which hardware are you having tyrouble with?
[17:43] <EvilPhoenix> trouble*
[17:43] <Quantum_Ion> edbian, Something about getting Ubuntu Linux to run on his hardware
[17:43] <shawnboy> ...or is there a firefox channel?
[17:43] <perlsyntax> Does anyone know how to add a usr to wicd network manager?
[17:43] <fasta> edbian, that's what he said.
[17:43] <nadav> well
[17:44] <edbian> Quantum_Ion, ah, yes I remember now.  I don't think he did.  We should have suggested recovery mode.
[17:44] <Quantum_Ion> edbian, His name was Caleeb1134
[17:44] <edbian> fasta, Sorry missed that
[17:44] <nadav> whats the equivilant of device manager at ubuntu?
[17:44] <edbian> nadav, sudo lspci -k
[17:44] <nadav> for instance, I cant set my screen resoultion to 1920x1080 like I could on Win7
[17:44] <edbian> nadav, :)
[17:44] <nadav> thanks
[17:44] <EvilPhoenix> nadav:  check "Hardware Drivers" under System > Administration
[17:44] <edbian> nadav, For screen resolution go to System -> preferences -> screen
[17:44] <EvilPhoenix> you might need the hardware drivers for your graphics card
[17:44] <ruif13> hi, i don't have sound in my headphones anyone can help me?
[17:44] <edbian> nadav, "Hardware Drivers
[17:44] <nadav> thx
[17:45] <Quantum_Ion> Why do some people expect Ubuntu Linux to mimic Windows 7 is beyond me ?
[17:45] <edbian> EvilPhoenix, nadav, "Hardware Drivers" is just proprietary drivers
[17:45] <EvilPhoenix> edbian:  he might need proprietary drivers, i.e. NVIDIA or ATI
[17:45] <edbian> Quantum_Ion, Yeah IDK.  Because it's all they know?
[17:45] <tensorpudding> perlsyntax: there's probably some group with wicd in the name
[17:45] <Quantum_Ion> edbian, lol
[17:45] <mikke__> Hello! I need help with a sound problem... Anyone got time with me? :)
[17:45] <nadav> License: Proprietary?
[17:45] <edbian> EvilPhoenix, nadav I know.  Just saying, it's not the device manager
[17:45] <nadav> thats what it tells me when its done scanning for drivers
[17:46] <raindemon> oh
[17:46] <perlsyntax> i se no group
[17:46] <perlsyntax> see
[17:46] <nadav> also, how do I get to the console window? :P
[17:46] <Tdude> Wops forgot to ask
[17:47] <nadav> nvm, found the terminal
[17:47] <Tdude> What's the default file system from that graphic installation?
[17:47] <edbian> Tdude, ext4
[17:47] <raindemon> how can i delete windows and install ubuntu without any external hard drives/flash disks and CD/DVD?
[17:47] <edbian> nadav, Proprietary means not open source in this context.
[17:47] <nadav> O_O
[17:47] <nadav> I thought this was the idea behind linux?
[17:48] <raindemon> well, not delete but part drive to 10Gs for win and 230 for ubuntu?
[17:48] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, With a partition editor
[17:48] <Ken8521> !install | raindemon but i don't thnk what you want to do is possible
[17:48] <Ken8521> Quantum_Ion: he sill has to have some sort of installation media.
[17:48] <shawnboy> Beuller... Beuller... Beuller... I need help fixing firefox please.
[17:48] <edbian> nadav, It's not purely open.  There are some things they have to use that are proprietary.  Flash is one example.  some video drivers are another. (video card drivers are specific to a model line and hard to write)
[17:48] <mikke__> I dont get any sound. I hear a sound just before im about to log in but after that its gone. I use HDMI får both sound and picture ( I have my 42" as a screen) Is it possible to use same HDMI for picture and sound
[17:48] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: but how?
[17:49] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: windows locks partitions when used
[17:49] <edbian> nadav, Part of the problem is that the people that make the cards don't let the outside people know exactly how the cards work.  This makes it even harder to make a driver for it.
[17:49] <nadav> so I basiclly cant use my videocard to the fullest unless im willing to pay? :o
[17:49] <glebihan> !details | shawnboy
[17:49] <Ken8521> raindemon: well you have to boot a cd or flash drive or something, so that the drive is not in use
[17:49] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, Have you ever heard of PartedMagic ?
[17:49] <raindemon> Ken8521: i dont have one
[17:49] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: yes, but it goes nuts with my drive
[17:50] <Ken8521> raindemon: and thus what i was trying to tell you, you're asking how to install ubuntu, w/o any installation media.
[17:50] <edbian> nadav, The drivers are free.
[17:50] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: it doesn't even start
[17:50] <[thor]> nadav: it means you can't have free access to change the code of the driver.
[17:50] <edbian> nadav, Just not open source
[17:50] <Ken8521> raindemon: am i understanding you correctly?
[17:50] <nadav> oh
[17:50] <glebihan> raindemon: how did you install ubuntu in the first place ??
[17:50] <raindemon> Ken8521: there's got to be some way!
[17:50] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, you can also scrub your entire harddisk clean using Dariks Boot Nuke too
[17:50] <nadav> how can I list my partition ?
[17:50] <nadav> which command on console
[17:50] <Ken8521> raindemon: well i'm not sure why you would thinkthere would be
[17:50] <edbian> raindemon, You can use unetbootin, network install, floppy disks if you have enough of them.
[17:50] <edbian> raindemon, There are ways
[17:51] <Ken8521> nuking the drive, w/o a cd, etc.. is not the issue.. installing ubuntu is the issue.
[17:51] <edbian> nadav, sudo fdisk -l
[17:51] <raindemon> usb's are down on my netbook
[17:51] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, Here http://www.dban.org/
[17:51] <Tdude> ext4 is free of fragmentation?
[17:51] <c3l> Tdude: basically, yeah
[17:51] <edbian> Tdude, Essentially yes.
[17:51] <raindemon> and by down i mean they are absolutely down
[17:51] <nadav> nadav@ubuntu:~$ /dev/sda1
[17:51] <nadav> bash: /dev/sda1: Permission denied
[17:51] <Tdude> That's brilliant too
[17:52] <nadav> why wouldnt it let me access it?
[17:52] <c3l> Tdude: ntfs is unique in its way to get fragmented ;)
[17:52] <edbian> Tdude, It defragments on the fly so you never have to dedicate the whole system to it once a month.  It feels like you never have to defrag this wya.
[17:52] <shawnboy> Let's say you're running Lucid with the latest updates, then Firefox menus and drop downs stop working. What would you do on a Saturday?
[17:52] <glebihan> nadav: what are you trying to do ?
[17:52] <Quantum_Ion> Ken8521, Do you use Dariks Boot and Nuke to wipe hard disks clean ?
[17:52] <edbian> nadav, That command makes no sense
[17:52] <edbian> shawnboy, restart firefox
[17:52] <raindemon> Ken8521: i would suggest making a false partition in the mbr pointing it to a distinct sector on the hard drive
[17:53] <[thor]> nadav: 'sub-folders' in /dev/ are representations of the hardware devices
[17:53] <raindemon> Ken8521: and loading soe installation medium there with help of hex-editor
[17:53] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, but the Ubuntu Live CD has a free partitioning tool
[17:53] <nadav> lol :P
[17:53] <shawnboy> edbian: Let's say I restarted Firefox, rebooted the machine, and checked for new updates... and it still does it.
[17:53] <nadav> aha
[17:53] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: netbooks don't have cd's
[17:53] <[thor]> nadav: you can't navigate through them
[17:53] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: and thats a pity
[17:53] <nadav> well I guess im the humor factor today :P
[17:53] <edbian> shawnboy, It's a bug in firefox.  Try using an older version.
[17:53] <edbian> shawnboy, A bug I've seen ;)
[17:54] <[thor]> nadav: you _can_ mount a device
[17:54] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, Too bed everyone with a netbook doesnt have the common sense to buy an external DVD-RW duh !
[17:54] <nadav> I just mess around right now, trying to learn some stuff
[17:54] <edbian> nadav, Having fun I hope! :)
[17:54] <dooglus> when I run "totem *.avi" it lists all the .avi files in the right hand pane, but they're not quite in order
[17:54] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: how could i connect it without usb ports?
[17:54] <Mathuin> Are there any known problems with the sky2 driver and jumbo frames?  I have switches that support jumbo frames in my network, but my desktop gets very upset whenever I raise the MTU above 1500.
[17:54] <shawnboy> ebdian: can you give me a shove in the right direction of how to go about using an older version of Firefox after the latest is installed?
[17:54] <nadav> well I am, as long as people help me
[17:54] <nadav> :p
[17:54] <dooglus> is there some way to get it to list (and play) them in numberical order?
[17:54] <edbian> raindemon, You should read up: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[17:55] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, wtf kind of netbook is that without USB ports ??? you gotta be kidding me right ?
[17:55] <nadav> sudo fdisk -l
[17:55] <dooglus> currently it's showing DSCN2002.AVI before DSCN2000.AVI and DSCN2001.AVI
[17:55] <nadav> didnt show the partitions, it showed me the /dev/sda1 listing
[17:55] <Mathuin> My netbooks have USB ports and CF readers, I've installed Ubuntu off CF before, I'll do it again.  Faster and easier than CD for me.
[17:55] <nadav> lets say I want to navigate to another partition through console, how should I approach it?
[17:55] <[thor]> nadav: for example, if you have a second hard drive  that is not mounted called "/dev/sdb", you can mount it by creating a destination in /mnt ( sudo mkdir /mnt/newdrivename ) and then attaching that device there ( sudo mount /dev/sdb1/ /mnt/newdrivename )
[17:55] <edbian> shawnboy, open synpatic, find firefox, choose force old version
[17:55] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: i burnt them out with a usb hdd drive
[17:56] <Quantum_Ion> It doesn't make any sense for a netbook not to have USB ports ???
[17:56] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, No wonder !
[17:56] <raindemon> edbian: wow, thats better
[17:56] <edbian> nadav, You first have to mount that partition in a folder.  Then you can see the contents of that partition in that folder.
[17:56] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: it was an accident
[17:56] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, What kind of netbook do you have ?
[17:56] <shawnboy> Thank you ebdian. I appreciate it.
[17:56] <geckosenator> when I run dfrag dosemu, now I get "undefined problem"
[17:56] <nadav> edbian, I can see it through the graphic interface
[17:56] <shawnboy> Thank you edbian I appreciate it.
[17:56] <Ken8521> how the heck do you burn out a usb port
[17:56] <nadav> does that mean I still need to mount it?
[17:57] <Quantum_Ion> Ken8521, Good Question
[17:57] <[thor]> nadav: if you can see it in the gui, it is mounted somewhere already
[17:57] <edbian> nadav, Make a folder, (sudo mount /mnt/somefolder) making them in mnt is customary.  Then mount it, sudo mount /dev/sdaX /mnt/someFolder, then go to that folder cd /mnt/someFolder , then open nautilus there if you want "nautilus ."
  It mounts and open the folder when you double click.  The system mounts things in /media
[17:58] <jo_> Hey everyone, I wonder, sometimes when I start a command I emmediatly get a new shell promt and only aftherwarts I get the output witch is rather annoying because I want to grep it.  Should I go with ext2 or ext4 without journaling?
[17:58] <Mathuin> raindemon: buy a new one. :-)
[17:58] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, WOW ! This is a new one for me
[17:59] <glebihan> jo_: any example of a command with this behavior ?
[17:59] <raindemon> Mathuin: i would, but this has too much awesome things on it :)
[17:59] <nadav> nadav@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /mnt/nadav
[17:59] <nadav> mount: can't find /mnt/nadav in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[17:59] <jo_> glebihan: everything with curl
[17:59] <Quantum_Ion> Ken8521, lol
[17:59] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: write it down, 'cos thats not funny for me
[17:59] <edbian> nadav, sudo mount /dev/sdaX /mnt/nadav
[17:59] <edbian> nadav, The partition comes first.
[17:59] <Maka> Hi again Edbian :) I am still having same problem. I did go to command line and tried "sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop" but it gave me invalid operation error so I tried "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" and it said I already have it. I thought perhaps it's corrupted and that's why i dont get any gnome menus... so I did "sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop" ... it did that.. then I installed it again "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[17:59] <edbian> nadav, look at man mount
[18:00] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, hahaha sorry your story just sounds too bizarre man
[18:00] <nadav> i feel pretty dumb right now, this is my first time with linux
[18:00] <edbian> Maka, And it still don't work?
[18:00] <[thor]> nadav: check /media/  for already mounted drives >:D
[18:00] <glebihan> jo_: you mean you use the "curl" command, right ?
[18:00] <edbian> Maka, Try booting into Ubuntu recovery mode.  or alternatively, boot into an old kernel
[18:00] <geckosenator> yeah, basically dosemu is confused by a 32gig drive or something
[18:00] <Maka> (cont...) rebooted and still no gnome menus... i cant find anywhere in filesystem where gnome2 files are... and i thought i remembered seeing gnome2 files before the upgrade...  plz help?
[18:00] <jo_> glebihan: yes excuse me
[18:00] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: i didn't believe it either until i discovered lack of signal on ports
[18:01] <nadav> [thor], aha I see, so their not actual partitions anymore, but folders
[18:01] <edbian> Maka, The gnome settings are a hidden folder in your /home/you/ directory. They start with a period.  To see them in the term us ls -a to see them using nautilus do view -> show hidden files
[18:01] <nadav> right?
[18:01] <nadav> those are the folders I had with windows
[18:01] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, I am just speechless right now, because I never in my life heard about anyone burning out all 3 USB ports on their netbooks
[18:01] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: but i still have a sd slot! (useless because netbook isn't able to boot from it)
[18:01] <edbian> Maka, It is safe to delete them all, they will be regenerated by the system with defaults in place.
[18:01] <nadav> partitions I had with windows*
[18:01] <nadav> :p
[18:01] <edbian> nadav, Got it?
[18:01] <Maka> i cant get to nautilus but i will look using command line
[18:01] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: bad luck :(
[18:01] <Maka> be back in a few :)
[18:02] <nadav> I got the partition thing
[18:02] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, I am just curious to know what kind of netbook is it ?
[18:02] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: at least it has 1280x768 screen
[18:02] <nadav> if I mount a new partition or a device, it will mount to /media?
[18:02] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: gigabyte m912x
[18:02] <edbian> nadav, o good
[18:02] <edbian> nadav, If it's auto mounted it puts it in a folder in /media
[18:02] <nadav> or atleast at the /media folder Ill be able to access it
[18:02] <nadav> aha
[18:02] <edbian> nadav, If you manually mount it it gets mounted where you tell it
[18:02] <edbian> nadav, yes
[18:02] <nadav> so every PnP device I plug onto the computer I should find at /media?
[18:02] <Maka> exit
[18:02] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, What did your brother stuff into one of the other ports ?
[18:02] <Maka> ooops :)
[18:03] <glebihan> jo_: weird, doesn't behave like that here, I'm looking if can find an option that may cause your problem
[18:03] <edbian> nadav, It first shows up on the desktop. then you double click it and it open and mounts it in /media
[18:03] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: i suppose stapples with plasticine
[18:03] <researcher123> How do I know my Ip address
[18:03] <nadav> alright
[18:03] <nadav> what is all those sudo commands tho?
[18:03] <edbian> nadav, Also, plug and play means hardware that you can install drivers for without rebooting.  But I know what you meant.
[18:03] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, Dude are you for real ?
[18:04] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: maybe he thought it will be a BOOSTER
[18:04] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: absolutely
[18:04] <edbian> nadav, sudo means "do this as the root user" only root can mount things
[18:04] <nadav> oh
[18:04] <nadav> run as
[18:04] <nadav> alright, cool
[18:04] <edbian> nadav, Once it's mounted though anybody can access the files in it
[18:04] <Quantum_Ion> Ken8521, maybe you are right
[18:04] <Ken8521> Quantum_Ion: lol, maybe?
[18:04] <RambJoe> https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/appdevs-dx-n-multitouch-and-games
[18:05] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: Ken8521 lol, maybe what?
[18:05] <jo_> glebihan: yes here are the options curl -A "Mozilla/4.73 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.15 i686)" --cookie cjar --cookie-jar cjar --insecure --location --referer "somesite" somesite
[18:05] <edbian> nadav, su = switch user.  The default su is root (otherwise it's su <userName>) sudo is a play on words with pseudo meaning fake.  You're not really switching to root.   I don't know what OS it comes with, but I would like to create a disk image of it using LiveCD. How can I do that?
[18:07] <edbian> Ryen, Yeah,  got that too.  ha aha, thanks
[18:07] <jo_> glebihan: no
[18:07] <edbian> nadav, Anywho, there is no root password in Ubuntu because there really isn't a root account.  Again the sudo / pseudo thing
[18:07] <mikke__> I have ubuntu 10.04. I have the machine connected to my TV via HDMI. Is it possible to get audio from the same HDMI cable? My system is quiet and I cant get the sound to work at all. I see the card is installed and not muted...
[18:08] <Ken8521> Quantum_Ion: well the obvioius answer, is you have to figure out how to operate your toaster by plugging it into the av jacks on your television
[18:08] <Ryen> !root | edbian
[18:08] <glebihan> jo_: and no issues with other commands than curl ?
[18:08] <edbian> !root | nadav
[18:08] <edbian> Ryen, Thanks
[18:08] <Ryen> edbian: Mhm.
[18:08] <Ken8521> !botabuse | edbian
[18:08] <raindemon> Ken8521: and a boeing plugged into headphone jack
[18:08] <Nurhaci> When will 10.10 release?
[18:08] <glebihan> Nurhaci: tomorrow
[18:08] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, Dude you are the first dude I ever heard who bought a netbook without an external DVD-RW drive and jacked up all 3 of his USB ports, seriously
[18:08] <Ken8521> Nurhaci: tomorrow
[18:08] <jo_> glebihan, I do remeber that sometimes yes, the output comes afther that I've reseen my prompt
[18:08] <macwolf74> wow
[18:08] <edbian> raindemon, way to go! :P
[18:08] <macwolf74> there is no root pass...
[18:09] <macwolf74> i did not know that, i would always guess...
[18:09] <edbian> macwolf74, ha
[18:09] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: ive thought i would live w/o dvd
[18:09] <macwolf74> and create an another one...
[18:09] <Nurhaci> which time zone will 10.10 release follow?
[18:09] <macwolf74> edbian, wow lol
[18:09] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: flash technologies advanced so far
[18:09] <LjL> Nurhaci: Samoa. ask in #ubuntu-release-party
[18:09] <ganja> hi, when I change the resolution from NVIDIA X Server Settings to 1152x864 it works, but when I save the config in xorg.conf and reboot the system it come back to 1024x768
[18:09] <halvor> hello
[18:09] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, I own a netbook I know that most netbook manufacturers send you copies of the OS on CDROM
[18:09] <jlxsolutions> Anyone got any idea how one sets up a ICS on 2 ubuntu 10.04 machines using a crossover cable? eth1 is going insane at the moment lol
[18:09] <nadav> so basically I cant login as Root in ubuntu?
[18:09] <halvor> i have some serious trouble
[18:09] <ldiamond> My computer won't go to sleep anymore. Anyone have an idea? According to /var/log/messages, there's nothing going wrong, just suspending everything then resuming everything...
[18:09] <nadav> only sudo commands?
[18:09] <halvor> my brother wants to switch from win to ubuntu
[18:10] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: they do not give you a drive though
[18:10] <glebihan> nadav: "sudo -i" will give you a root login shell
[18:10] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, wtf ???
[18:10] <edbian> nadav, That's right.  But you can set up a root account if you want.  It's discouraged to have both systems in place though.
[18:10] <halvor> but he has an acer 5315 and the cpu fan doesn't spin
[18:10] <mikke__> I have ubuntu 10.04. I have the machine connected to my TV via HDMI. Is it possible to get audio from the same HDMI cable? My system is quiet and I cant get the sound to work at all. I see the card is installed and not muted... I choose hardware HDMI but no sound When I try to force/test each soundport its says busy when i try HDMI
[18:10] <nadav> glebihan, I see
[18:10] <glebihan> jo_: sorry didn't really understand, you meant with other commands or still curl
[18:10] <glebihan> ?
[18:10] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: there was a CD i the package
[18:10] <sresu> glebihan: As su does?
[18:11] <glebihan> sresu: yes
[18:11] <edbian> mikke__, It is possible.  I don't know how.
[18:11] <nadav> edbian, another thing, I try to connect to my router in the console interface
[18:11] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, Dude wouldn't it be obvious if you have the OS on cdrom you would need to purchase an external USB DVD-RW drive, seriously
[18:11] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: and a recovery partition on the hdd
[18:11] <halvor> How to control cpu fan under ubuntu?
[18:11] <edbian> nadav, Does your router have a web interface or a cli?
[18:11] <nadav> web interface
[18:11] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: there was a preinstalld os image
[18:11] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, Dude hard drives fail all the time
[18:11] <am2> this one is awesome.. Try it..    http://lab.andre-michelle.com/tonematrix
[18:11] <edbian> nadav, then you have to use a graphical browser like firefox
[18:11] <nadav> its a cheap one, should I assume it does not support a cli?
[18:11] <nozes> 01001001 00100000 01100001 01101101 00100000 01100010 01100101 01100001 01110101 01110100 01101001 01100110 01110101 01101100
[18:11] <jo_> glebihan: also other commands
[18:11] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: possible
[18:11] <halvor> anyone? about acer cpu fan issues under ubuntu?
[18:12] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, How old are you ?
[18:12] <glebihan> jo_: you don't use a "&" at the end of the command, right ?
[18:12] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: 19
[18:12] <sresu> halvor: Whats the issue?
[18:12] <am2> whols
[18:12] <edbian> nadav, Most likely not.  But if it does maybe telnet <ip of router> ?  IDK
[18:12] <am2> is Ubuntu 10.10 good ?
[18:12] <jo_> glebihan: no, I've investigated that, but sometimes I right afther I've started the command a [1]bla bla bla
[18:12] <am2> any1
[18:12] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, Guess I will have to give you the benefit of the doubt because you are a teenager
[18:12] <luichi> hello
[18:12] <am2> Quantum_Ion: dude
[18:12] <halvor> sresu: it simply doesn't work and the laptop switches of to avoid overheating
[18:13] <xangua> it's evil am2
[18:13] <Quantum_Ion> am2, yes
[18:13] <sresu> halvor: Which laptop?
[18:13] <researcher123> how can we know Ip address of our computer
[18:13] <nadav> does linux work with partitions? because what I see is nadav@ubuntu$:
[18:13] <halvor> sresu: i've found a script for it, but that doesn't work either
[18:13] <nadav> no c:
[18:13] <raindemon> Quantum_Ion: ok, and the question is : can i setup ubuntu without any external devices?
[18:13] <nadav> or d:
[18:13] <xangua> halvor I once had issues with fan in my acer
[18:13] <glebihan> jo_: then it means that the command goes into background, are you trying to redirect the output ?
[18:13] <Ken8521> researcher123: ipconfig in a terminal
[18:13] <nadav> or that type of things
[18:13] <xangua> halvor fixed them updating the bios
[18:13] <am2> xangua:  eh? u dont like it? Or u dont know how to use it. :p
[18:13] <halvor> sresu: acer aspire 5315 with 3GB memor
[18:13] <halvor> y
[18:13] <sresu> halvor: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks.. see if it helps
[18:13] <luichi> is any form to get WP test success? because in syslog i get: Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled
[18:13] <jo_> glebihan: no not at all
[18:13] <Ken8521> raindemon: you'e been shown !install multiple times, quit freaking trolling and read it
[18:13] <Ryen> !ot | am2
[18:14] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, sigh !
[18:14] <jo_> glebihan: just like I gave it to you
[18:14] <phil_in_london> nadav, type   df -h
[18:14] <halvor> sresu: thank you
[18:14] <researcher123> Ken8521: is it ifconfig
[18:14] <phil_in_london> nadav, thats your partitions and its basically the equivalent of widnows My Computer
[18:14] <Ken8521> no, ipconfig
[18:14] <halvor> xangua: i'm not that brave with my brothers laptop, but thank you for the tip
[18:14] <researcher123> Ken8521: it failed
[18:14] <Ken8521> researcher123: sorry, ifconfig
[18:14] <glebihan> jo_: what terminal are you using ?
[18:14] <Ken8521> i was stuck in windows for a second(helping someone else at the moment)
[18:14] <researcher123> Ken8521: I ran n it gives so much result
[18:14] <sresu> halvor: Oh.. sorry. It doen't include that. Let me see..
[18:15] <nadav> I see phil_in_london , thanks
[18:15] <jo_> glebihan: noubuntu terminal
[18:15] <Ken8521> researcher123: so go throught he list, and find yoru IP..... are you connected to a router?
[18:15] <jo_> glebihan: the standard installed ubuntu terminal
[18:15] <researcher123> yes
[18:15] <Ken8521> researcher123: are you wireless, or wired?
[18:15] <am2> @ubottu: Hey, are u the admin ?
[18:15] <researcher123> Ken8521: got this inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>
[18:15] <Ken8521> am2: ubottu is a bot
[18:15] <jo_> glebihan: et even gives me two curl -A "Mozilla/4.73 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.15 i686)" --cookie cjar --cookie-jar cjar --insecure --location --referer "http://www.demorgen.be/krant/" http://www.demorgen.be/onpdm/pdf.do?pageNr=1&date=20101009&pubCode=DMO
[18:15] <nadav> Another question, I installed anohter input language
[18:15] <nadav> how can I toggle it?
[18:15] <Ken8521> researcher123: thats your Ip from the router... is that what you wanted? or do you want your IP from your provider
[18:16] <am2> @ubottu: eh? dint get u
[18:16] <jo_> glebian: I'm sorry for that
[18:16] <luichi> is any form to get WP test success? because in syslog i get: Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled
[18:16] <glebihan> jo_: put quotes around the url
[18:16] <raindemon> Ken8521: screw you man
[18:16] <researcher123> Ken8521: I want it from provider
[18:16] <Ken8521> raindemon: well, you've been given the same answer multiple times
[18:16] <phil_in_london> nadav, its easiest to do when you login at the beginning, look down at the bottom of the screen before you login, there is a choice for language.
[18:16] <Ken8521> researcher123: easiest way to get that, is go to whatismyip.org
[18:17] <am2> Ken8521: eh ? come again
[18:17] <halvor> sresu: its an acer aspire 5315 ICL50
[18:17] <raindemon> Ken8521: i should have missed them
[18:17] <researcher123> Ken8521: Actually I want to check safety of my Ip through a program
[18:17] <raindemon> Ken8521: sorry for that
[18:17] <jo_> glebihan: wow; that worked! Thanks very mutch!
[18:17] <Ken8521> raindemon: no need to apologize, just stop trolling, cuz thats all your doing
[18:18] <researcher123> Ken8521: thanks
[18:18] <Ken8521> researcher123: well if you need your IP for that, whatismyip.org will show it to you
[18:18] <glebihan> jo_: explanation : there were "&" signs in the url, which were interpreted by the shell to run the command in the background
[18:18] <raindemon> Ken8521: no i'm not
[18:18] <glebihan> jo_: and you're welcome :)
[18:18] <raindemon> !install
[18:18] <Ken8521> raindemon: please drop it... if you want to banter, go to ubuntu-offtopic
[18:19] <ganja> when I change the resolution from NVIDIA X Server Settings to 1152x864 it works, but when I save the config in xorg.conf and reboot the system, the resolution come back to 1024x768
[18:19] <jo_> glebihan: well that explanes it, and you just helped me with an hour-lasting problem
[18:19] <erUSUL> ganja: remove ~/.config/monitors.xml
[18:19] <Quantum_Ion> raindemon, yeah your issue is sounding kinda crazy right now
[18:20] <raindemon> Ken8521: i'll go try grub4dos
[18:20] <Ken8521> raindemon: you do that
[18:20] <raindemon> (god save the hdd
[18:20] <FrozenFire[work]> Is there a way to disable the frames surrounding images on the desktop which have been resized?
[18:20] <arvut> Ken8521: ipconfig is the windows command, ifconfig gives you the settings for all connections in linux. please collect the facts before you accidently misslead ppl with incorrect info.
[18:20] <Quantum_Ion> Ken8521, That dude was way off base today
[18:20] <Dimazaur[IL]> hi

[18:22] <glebihan> FrozenFire[work]: there are several ways of scaling images put on the desktop, look at the "style" property in the desktop background dialog
[18:23] <nozes> 01001001 00100000 01100001 01101101 00100000 01100010 01100101 01100001 01110101 01110100 01101001 01100110 01110101 01101100
[18:23] <FrozenFire[work]> glebihan, Sorry, I was unclear. I'm speaking of image files, not the background image. A moment while I get an example of what I'm speaking of.
[18:23] <luichi> is any form to get WP test success on an external hdd? because in syslog i get: Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled
[18:23] <Ryen> !ot | nozes

[18:24] <nadav> hmm
[18:24] <nadav> I installed the language
[18:24] <nadav> I can use it
[18:24] <nadav> but only when I switch in the upper right bar
[18:24] <FrozenFire[work]> glebihan, http://i.imgur.com/hbHEr.png
[18:24] <nadav> what keys does ubuntu uses to toggle between languages?
[18:24] <FrozenFire[work]> The bottom one is unscaled. The top one is scaled.
[18:24] <valetudo> my external hard drive won't show up any more, was working ten minutes ago, only used it on ubuntu 10.04 and always safely removed it
[18:24] <erUSUL> luichi: may be a harmless message
[18:24] <AbhiJit> !ibus | nadav
[18:25] <Ryen> nadav: Read the topic of this channel.
[18:25] <AbhiJit> nadav, ctrl + space

[18:26] <luichi> erUSUL: is this test supossed to succed on all devices?
[18:26] <erUSUL> !separatehome > sms_
[18:26] <glebihan> FrozenFire[work]: well that's weird, but I'm sorry, I have no clue where that could be coming from
[18:26] <nadav> WORK CALLS
[18:27] <nadav> sry caps
[18:27] <nadav> :p
[18:27] <FloodBot3> nadav: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:27] <erUSUL> luichi: i dunno; do you see any problem using your hard disk ?
[18:27] <luichi> yes
[18:27] <nadav> something wierd is happened, I dont see fully see text
[18:27] <nadav> the lines cut off
[18:27] <FrozenFire[work]> glebihan, I assume it's part of the feature that allows you to resize the image icon on the desktop.
[18:27] <erUSUL> !details | luichi
[18:27] <FrozenFire[work]> However, I never use that function, so I'd like to disable it for a less blocky desktop.
[18:28] <owen_> any idea how to use non-ISO 9660 DVD rips in Ubuntu?
[18:28] <owen_> I have tried VLC
[18:29] <glebihan> FrozenFire[work]: well I just checked (I personally disable previews in nautilus) and I get frames even for unscaled pictures...
[18:29] <valetudo> seagate external hard drive won't show up anymore, i removed it safely everytime and only used it on ubuntu 10.04, never windows. it was working 10 minutes ago and now it still lights up but wont show up for me to mount
[18:30] <erUSUL> valetudo: open a terminal and do « tailf /var/log/messages » then plug the disk. paste the new lines that will show up
[18:30] <Quantum_Ion> valetudo, I have used seagate hard drives in the past those things are unreliable get a hitatachi or a toshiba hard drive
[18:30] <erUSUL> !paste | valetudo
[18:30] <Braber01> How can I remove ubuntu from something that was duel-booted?
[18:31] <Quantum_Ion> Braber01, Use a partition editor to destroy the Ubuntu partition
[18:31] <geckosenator> Braber01: delete it
[18:31] <CaptainDallas> Greeting from Barcelona!
[18:31] <D3luSi0n4L> Good morning All =P
[18:32] <Braber01> Quantum_Ion, how would I get a partion Editor, or is there one included with all OSes?
[18:32] <CaptainDallas> Good evening ;-)
[18:32] <D3luSi0n4L> haha
[18:32] <glebihan> Braber01: use gparted
[18:32] <D3luSi0n4L> hey is there any good torrent cilents for ubuntu? preferablly utorrent?/
[18:33] <Braber01> gparted? what os is that for?
[18:33] <geckosenator> ubun tu
[18:33] <glebihan> D3luSi0n4L: I wouldn't go for utorrent in ubuntu. I'd prefer transmission or KTorrent
[18:34] <Braber01> I'm trying to get rid of ubuntu, so what would I need to install that for? or is that the only way I can edit partions?
[18:34] <dogmatic69> hi all
[18:34] <neltharion> yeah transmission will do
[18:34] <Braber01> my dad is being stubborn and doesn't want to try Linux :(
[18:34] <Apollo8> im having some trouble with virtualbox.
[18:34] <ZMaine> Hey can I get some help via pm please? I don't really want 8 million answers at once.
[18:35] <dogmatic69> i some how zipped a few thousand files individually :/ how can i undo this, recursive unzip or something
[18:35] <Quantum_Ion> Braber01, Burn an iso of this PartedMagic@http://partedmagic.com/
[18:35] <alzie> Brader01: gparted is a utility to format partitions and drives.  Simply format the ubuntu partition and make is NTFS
[18:35] <hd1> i have a netbook running ubuntu, where the wireless starts when X is logged in. How do I start the wireless automatically on boot?
[18:35] <Apollo8> my virtualbox wont let me run anything
[18:35] <glebihan> !pm > ZMaine
[18:35] <GregValheru> heh, was about to ask the same as delusional did a minute ago
[18:35] <Braber01> Thank you Quantum
[18:36] <Quantum_Ion> Braber01, No Problem-Good Luck
[18:36] <gilaniali> should i always use apt-get or is it also ok to use pip?
[18:36] <Apollo8> Please someone PM me need help with virtualbox
[18:36] <tensorpudding> dogmatic69: for file in ./*.zip; unzip $file; done
[18:36] <tensorpudding> dogmatic69: something to that effect
[18:36] <Ken8521> Apollo8: ask your question
[18:37] <ZMaine> Thanks ubottu. I just installed ubuntu on my sister's laptop and I can't get the wireless network to work. I went into the self help thing and it says I need to 'Obtain the Windows Driver for you system and locate the file that ends with .inf' What Driver do I need?
[18:37] <Apollo8> My virtualbox keeps getting an error
[18:37] <Braber01> !thanks | ZMaine
[18:38] <Apollo8> @ken8521 it says something about the DKMS
[18:38] <tensorpudding> dogmatic69: sorry, should be for file in ./*.zip; do unzip $file; done
[18:38] <sorsis> i'm running server edition and having a bit of trouble with apache2
[18:38] <i_is_broke> Apollo8: try installing dkms
[18:38] <stewartnairn> Hve been going round in circles trying to get my Tascam US-122L to work in Lucid Lynx. Spent most of the day googling but getting nowhere. Looking for a good place to ask questions. Is this it?
[18:39] <dogmatic69> tensorpudding: thanks ill try that
[18:39] <sorsis> installation seems ok but when opening localhost:80 i get no web page.
[18:39] <glebihan> sorsis: is apache started ? (check with sudo service apache2 status)
[18:39] <sh4d3sl4y3r_> what will be the best windows gaming alternative under ubuntu ? wine or windows under virtual box?
[18:40] <sorsis> glebihan: apache is running
[18:40] <glebihan> sh4d3sl4y3r_: depends on the games, would try wine first
[18:40] <glebihan> sorsis: what error do you get when try to load the page ?
[18:40] <sorsis> glebihan: portas.conf sais that apache is listening 80
[18:40] <sh4d3sl4y3r_> glebihan: say directx9 dependent ones instead of Opengl. like gta etc
[18:41] <erUSUL> valetudo: it looks like the disk is ok; do « udisks --mount /dev/sda1 »
[18:41] <glebihan> sh4d3sl4y3r_: same answer, but you'll find out that a lot of games won't work either way
[18:41] <sh4d3sl4y3r_> hmm
[18:41] <sorsis> glebihan: web page cannot be found
[18:41] <Quantum_Ion> stewartnairn, Are you hooking up your bass or guitar to a Tascam US-122L Audio/MIDI Interface under Ubuntu Linux ?
[18:41] <dogmatic69> tensorpudding: get "unexpected token done" with that
[18:42] <glebihan> sorsis: is it an apache error or a message from your browser ?
[18:42] <sorsis> glebihan: browser
[18:42] <glebihan> sorsis: can you telnet localhost on port 80 ?
[18:42] <Mathuin> I have an Ubuntu desktop and a ReadyNAS Duo connected to a gigabit-switched network.  I get 11.4MiB/s and zero errors copying from the Duo to the desktop.  I get 10.3MiB/s and thousands of RX dropped packets on the desktop when copying from the desktop to the Duo.  I copied a 250M file and that caused 22500+ dropped RX packets.  What's up with that?  Any ideas, suggestions?
[18:42] <Ken8521> sh4d3sl4y3r_: right answer for gamers: dual boot.. windows games are very hit miss under both of those options..
[18:42] <tensorpudding> dogmatic69: that command i gave might not be entirely valid
[18:43] <dogmatic69> tensorpudding: :(
[18:43] <tensorpudding> dogmatic69: depending on whether the files have spaces in the names
[18:43] <sh4d3sl4y3r_> Ken8521: i am already dual booting . but just to take another quantum leap towards giving up windows
[18:43] <sorsis> glebihan: connected
[18:43] <sh4d3sl4y3r_> and gaming is the only reason i use it
[18:43] <erUSUL> valetudo: worked? it mounted?
[18:43] <dogmatic69> tensorpudding: nope
[18:43] <dogmatic69> no spaces
[18:43] <PovAddict> hi guys
[18:43] <tensorpudding> dogmatic69: also it assumes that you are inside the directory with the files, and that they are zipped using zip, and that you have the program unzip installed
[18:43] <zap85> i am using ubuntu 10.04, i am unable to install kdevelop using "sudo apt-get install kdevelop". How do I get kdevelop
[18:44] <zap85> ?
[18:44] <Ken8521> sh4d3sl4y3r_: yeah, unfortunately for gamers... i don't see you being able to completely dump windows... not w/o a lot of headache...
[18:44] <arvut> stewartnairn: Yes this is it, ask away and someone might be able to help you =)
[18:44] <sorsis> glebihan: connection closed
[18:44] <stewartnairn> Under windows I hook up all sorts. In ubuntu I can'tdo the simplest thing e.g. play a music file through the us122l to my music system
[18:44] <sorsis> glebihan: connection closed by foreign host
[18:44] <Dr_Willis> !info kdevelope
[18:44] <sh4d3sl4y3r_> Ken8521: affirmative
[18:44] <Dimazaur[IL]> !iphone
[18:44] <Dimazaur[IL]> i have kubuntu and it wont automount iphone, can anyone help?
[18:44] <tensorpudding> dogmatic69: if they're gzipped instead, you'd replace the .zip with .gz and the unzip with gunzip
[18:44] <glebihan> sorsis: ok so the problem is coming from apache
[18:44] <sorsis> glebihan: agreed
[18:44] <Dr_Willis> zap85:  perhaps its not called that.
[18:44] <dogmatic69> tensorpudding: ye they are *.gz
[18:44] <dogmatic69> i have gunzip
[18:45] <dogmatic69> unzip
[18:45] <glebihan> sorsis: could you pastebin your "/etc/apache2/sites-available/default" file ?
[18:45] <tensorpudding> dogmatic69: zip and gzip are two different formats
[18:45] <PovAddict> I know someone who is planning to request two dozen discs from shipit by giving different email addresses
[18:45] <dogmatic69> yip
[18:45] <Dr_Willis> PovAddict:  if he asked.. he could proberly get a packakge of them
[18:46] <PovAddict> I told him to just request one and make copies, but he wants the nice CD case and all... is there any alternative?
[18:46] <sorsis> glebihan: just a sec
[18:46] <PovAddict> I see it as an abuse of shipit's resources to request free discs like that
[18:47] <PovAddict> (getting one is justified, since his internet speed sucks)
[18:47] <Dr_Willis> PovAddict:  i belive they can make larger shipments if you talk to them. and justify it.. Like for a school..
[18:47] <Ken8521> a 10 pack of CDr's.. is about what ? $3-$4?  why not just download the ISO, and go on a burning frenzy.. rather than going to the hassle of waiting 6-8 weeks on shipit
[18:48] <Dr_Willis> Theres places that sell them also with stickers and nice extras for reasonable prices
[18:48] <totic> Can I upgrade a 8.10 machine to run 10.10 just by running apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[18:48] <glebihan> totic: not directly
[18:48] <totic> glebihan: so I would have to be there to do it?
[18:48] <erUSUL> totic: no; you have to go 8.10-->9.04-->9.10-->10.04-->10.10
[18:48] <totic> can I do it remotely?
[18:49] <erUSUL> totic: so a fressh install is better option i'd say
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> totic:  thats not a good idea
[18:49] <totic> or are there any steps that I can't do through ssh
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> totic:  a fresh/new install IS a much better idea..
[18:49] <stewartnairn>  cat /proc/asound/card gives me output with three identified cards., 0,1and 2. I presume that I actually want my us-122l is in position2 I presume that I want it t be 0 but not sure how to do that. Any ideas?
[18:49] <glebihan> totic: I guess you could do it remotely, but I'd go for a fresh install too
[18:49] <PovAddict> Ken8521: well, getting one is justified, he's on 3G internet with close-to-dialup speeds... but I told him to request just one and make copies, but the wants the nice packaging/stickers/stuff that comes with the shipit disc
[18:49] <totic> glebihan:  the machine is remote
[18:49] <mobasher> how to get flash working on ubuntu amd 64 bit ?
[18:50] <totic> so I can't just pop in a cd a run it
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> mobasher:  install it using the package manager.
[18:50] <Quantum_Ion> totic, make sure you know how to use rsync and have an external hard drive to backup your important files then burn a new Ubuntu Linux iso and install from there
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> !flash | mobasher
[18:50] <Ken8521> PovAddict: i guess...
[18:50] <ZMaine> I just installed ubuntu on my sister's laptop and I can't get the wireless network to work. I went into the self help thing and it says I need to Obtain the Windows Driver for your system and locate the file that ends with .inf. What Driver do I need?
[18:50] <totic> Quantum_Ion:  I am not anywhere near the computer, its in an office far far away
[18:50] <mobasher> Dr_Willis, I installed flash the regular one flash-nofree or something...it didn't work i was not able to view the flash contents ?
[18:50] <tensorpudding> ZMaine: what driver is this
[18:50] <tensorpudding> ZMaine: rather, what wireless chipset is it
[18:51] <fishcooker> i've apps that need update from inet.... unfortunately it hasn't  option to use authenticated http-proxy on my college
[18:51] <glebihan> totic: well you can try, but there's no guarantee on if running 4 upgrades in a row will get you to a nicely working system
[18:51] <fishcooker> what's the solution
[18:51] <Dr_Willis> mobasher:  at what site? its worked for me with very few issues on dozens of machines.
[18:51] <ZMaine> AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter
[18:51] <Quantum_Ion> ZMaine, Try google ubuntu linux with the make and model of your sisters laptop and see if there are any issues
[18:51] <Ken8521> ZMaine: that device should work out of the box... i have it
[18:51] <fishcooker> ?!
[18:51] <Dr_Willis> ZMaine:  what version of ubuntu did you install? 10.04 ?
[18:51] <Zain__> Hey
[18:51] <Ken8521> ZMaine: what version of Ubuntu are you using?... cuz it's not been called 242x for a while
[18:52] <ZMaine> My friend gave me a CD while back, it's 8.10
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> what is with everyond using 8.10 today? :)
[18:52] <Zain__> this is pissing me off :( why is it Windows is unable to detect my driver
[18:52] <mobasher> Dr_Willis, i can't remember the site now...but i'll do the diggin again and find for u
[18:52] <Quantum_Ion> Dr_Willis, lol
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> ZMaine:  i suggest getting a 10.10 CD when they come out tomorrow..
[18:52] <Zain__> while ubuntu can ?
[18:52] <Ken8521> ZMaine: thats why, you have to patch the driver.. .plus, 8.10 is EOL... you need to download and install 10.04 or 10.10, and the wireless would work
[18:52] <tensorpudding> ZMaine: it'd probably be wise to upgrade first
[18:52] <Mannequin> hi. One quick question:
[18:52] <Mannequin> is it safe to put a netbook in suspend mode, put it on a bag and then walk/run/jump/ski-dive?
[18:52] <Quantum_Ion> Dr_Willis, Guess they have a lot of Ubuntu Linux 8.10 cd's floating around
[18:52] <ZMaine> Ok, thanks for your help.
[18:52] <tensorpudding> ZMaine: you're in luck, 8.04 is an LTS release, so you can upgrade right to 10.04, the current stable release
[18:53] <Mannequin> (I'm mainly asking about the reliability of suspend mode related to HDD activity)
[18:53] <Ken8521> Quantum_Ion: i helped a guy last night running 6.06, trying to do a "grub2 repair"..lol
[18:53] <Quantum_Ion> Ken8521, rofl
[18:53] <sresu> What does "bs=4096" mean in dd commands?
[18:53] <edbian> sresu, bit chuck size
[18:53] <glebihan> Dr_Willis: I'm thinking about switching back to Warty Warthog ;)
[18:53] <ZMaine> Alright, thanks, I'll try that. I'll be back if I have any more troubles
[18:53] <edbian> sresu, You're copying things in chunks of 4096 bits
[18:53] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  it will  make the dd command  faster in many cases.
[18:53] <pie_time> how do you view your screen using ssh?
[18:53] <Dr_Willis> glebihan:  anorexic amoeba
[18:53] <mobasher> Dr_Willis, i installed    ->sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer    but the site is not working  http://www.warnerbros.com/all/us/plugins/flash.html
[18:53] <edbian> Dr_Willis, Was that really the first one?!
[18:54] <Ken8521> lol
[18:54] <Dr_Willis> pie_time:  you dont, You use VNC or some other remote desktyp type app for that..  you CAN ssh in and run 'gnome-session' or just a single app and have it appear locally.
[18:54] <sresu> edbian: Dr_Willis: I'm trying to duplicate hard disk,... so what should I do in using dd? Will this work < dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/dev/sdb2 bs=4096 conv=noerror> Or should I go for ddrescue?
[18:54] <wildc4rd> looking for an app to edit and encode video footage (in avi format) before it gets uploaded to youtube
[18:54] <ChaoticX> Hello
[18:54] <Dr_Willis> edbian:  :) No.. first one was Pulsating Protazoa
[18:54] <Zain__> really pissed of
[18:54] <glebihan> edbian: no the first one was warty warthog
[18:54] <Ken8521> well, they didn't get alphabetical, until Dapper IIRC.. and before that was warty warthog, breezy badger...
[18:54] <Zain__> ._.
[18:55] <ChaoticX> Is it possible to use the same separate home drive when doing a new install of ubuntu if it was encrypted?
[18:55] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  are you having read errors?  if so ddrescue may be needed..
[18:55] <Zain__> anyone suggest what is new in ubuntu 10.10 vs 10.04 ?
[18:55] <mobasher> Dr_Willis, don't worry about it..it worked :) thanks bud
[18:55] <Dr_Willis> Zain__:  everything is updated...
[18:55] <Ken8521> !eol > edbian there's a list of Ubuntu distros...
[18:55] <Zain__> like ?
[18:55] <halvor> sresu: i fixed it
[18:55] <ChaoticX> So is it possible?
[18:55] <Dr_Willis> Zain__:  check the dozens of Ubuntu news and blog sites...
[18:55] <sresu> Dr_Willis: No not yet started.. I'm just working on how to move with it
[18:55] <sresu> halvor: What di you try?
[18:55] <halvor> do you know how can i add apci=off to the grub entry under 10.10?
[18:56] <Ken8521> Zain__: programs are updated, etc.. not really a huge jump between 10.04-10.10....
[18:56] <edbian> sresu, Well that would copy to the same disk... so it would have no effect
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  you can use fsarchiver to archive a filesystem to a file, for backup purposes if thats your goal.
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  what is your end goal?
[18:56] <ChaoticX> Is it possible to use the same separate home partition when doing a new install of ubuntu if it was encrypted?
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> halvor:  you coudl edit the /etc/default/grub and add the option to the proper line in there, then rerun update-grub
[18:56] <tensorpudding> Zain__: software center gets more useful, new special font called Ubuntu, theme tweaks, and of course lots of programs get updated
[18:57] <glebihan> Ken8521: put it in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub and run update-grub
[18:57] <Zain__> well
[18:57] <halvor> Dr_Willis: thank you
[18:57] <Zain__> what about the VLC
[18:57] <LjL> Thanks ubottu. I just installed ubuntu on my sister's laptop and I can't get the wireless network to work. I went into the self help thing and it says I need to 'Obtain the Windows Driver for you system and locate the file that ends with .inf' What Driver do I need?
[18:57] <tensorpudding> f-spot was replaced with shotwell
[18:57] <Zain__> 1.06 for so long
[18:57] <Ken8521> glebihan: what are you talking about?
[18:57] <PovAddict> Dr_Willis: he told me he already tried a special request a while ago and nothing arrived
[18:57] <tensorpudding> and ubuntu one gets more integrated
[18:57] <halvor> Dr_Willis: won't that cause a problem? my brother is trying wubi only
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> Zain__:  theres always vlc ppa's .. I see version
[18:57] <sorsis> glebihan: http://pastebin.com/VFJp8pTG
[18:57] <pie_time> Dr_Willis, does ubuntu come with out-of-the-box support for vnc, or do you have to install some kind of server?
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> ~$ vlc --version
[18:57] <lahwran> if I lose my gpg passphrase ... am I screwed?
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> VLC media player 1.1.4 The Luggage (revision exported)
[18:57] <sresu> Dr_Willis: I just bought Dell Inspiron 101z. It has Windows with it. But formatting and installing Ubuntu, I just want to take copy/image of it on my USD HDD...
[18:58] <PovAddict> lahwran: pretty much, yes
[18:58] <glebihan> Ken8521: in the file /etc/default/grub, you'll have a line looking like GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="", replace it by GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi=off" and run "update-grub"
[18:58] <lahwran> can I swear?
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> pie_time:  gnome has a vnc server feature built in. If you want to share the 'current visible desktop'
[18:58] <Zain__> I tried downloaded one
[18:58] <Zain__> I got 1.06
[18:58] <geckopunk> good afternoon everyone
[18:58] <lahwran> PovAddict: I thought you almost never needed the passphrase
[18:58] <sresu> Dr_Willis: hence i asked about dd
[18:58] <PovAddict> lahwran: I already got screwed that way; but my key wasn't signed by anyone so I just created a new one
[18:58] <lahwran> PovAddict: so I made something /hard/
[18:58] <geckopunk> *brb* will come back in 10 to ask my ?
[18:58] <bcgrown> i have followed the instructions here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-advanced-tftp-server-in-ubuntu.html  to set up a PXE server,  but when I try to boot from it I just get "PXE-E053 - No Boot Filename Received"    anyone know why?
[18:58] <pie_time> Dr_Willis, i've tried everything to view it, is there a howto
[18:58] <PovAddict> lahwran: you need the passphrase every time you use your gpg key to sign/encrypt anything
[18:58] <lahwran> PovAddict: crap.
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  personally now a days when i get a new laptop. I buy a 2nd hd. :) and put linux on that. and keep the windows HD on a shelf in a  bag with warnign stickers on it. :)
[18:59] <Apollo8> need help with virtualbox someone pm plz
[18:59] <glebihan> sorsis: ok so I guess you forgot the first line "<VirtualHost *:80>", right ?
[18:59] <Ken8521> glebihan: i still don't understand what you're saying.. i don't have a grub problem.
[18:59] <sresu> Dr_Willis: Ha... thats cool :)
[18:59] <halvor> Dr_Willis: it's grub2 the file in /etc/default/grub isn't where i could add the "apci=off"
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> pie_time:  you run that 'remote desktop' tool, and follow its directions.. it does work ONLY on a local lan. Not over the internet as far as i know.
[18:59] <sresu> Dr_Willis: And the 2n hd gets no problem.. in terms of hardware?
[18:59] <lahwran> YAY I REMEMBERED IT!!!!
[18:59] <sorsis> glebihan: thats in top of file but not in pastebin
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> halvor:  thats where you can add  defatult boot options...
[18:59] <Ken8521> pie_time: are you still working on remote desktop?
[19:00] <x0rs> As I am learning to program I am going through (what I think is) a good python/programming tutorial. My question to the more experienced programmers, especially those who are good at teaching, is should I take a break every few chapters and right original programs using the features of python that I am learning about so that they sink in, or should I just trudge through the tutorial until I am finished?
[19:00] <glebihan> Ken8521: oops sorry wrong person
[19:00] <PovAddict> lahwran: :)
[19:00]  * lahwran jumps up and down and waves his hands around

[19:01] <halvor> oh
[19:01] <soreau> ;)
[19:01] <halvor> Dr_Willis: i check again, sorry :)
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> pie_time:  on a local lan?  could be a firewall issue i guess.. i rarely use the feature.
[19:01] <Mathuin> Figured out why the values were low -- I wasn't entirely on the gigabit.  Now that I am, uploading is *half* the speed of downloading.  WTH?
[19:01] <glebihan> soreau: sorry, wrong person again...
[19:01] <PovAddict> zap85: re: installing kdevelop, what Ubuntu version do you have?

[19:02] <arvut> I have a AMDxp+2600 machine running a fully updated 10.04 that refuses to wake up properly from hibernation. When I hibernate, the shutdown screen looks somewhat messy, with half of the ubuntulogo gone (upper part is there). When it wakes up there is just a blank purple screen that doesn't respond to anything else than a hardboot.
[19:03] <bcgrown> Dr_Willis: that thing must be huge
[19:03] <cage_raphel> hello guys.. will it be possible to dual boot Ubuntu 10.4 and fedora13?
[19:03] <saedelaere> why not?
[19:03] <ChaoticX> How can I keep my encrypted home partition when doing a clean install of ubuntu?
[19:03] <Dr_Willis> bcgrown:  yep. 18.4 inch screen. :)  I splurged on this one and got a NICE laptop for a change
[19:03] <llutz> cage_raphel: sure
[19:04] <bcgrown> Dr_Willis: that's not a laptop, it's a compact computer
[19:04] <Dr_Willis> bcgrown:   a 'desktop replacement' - it has more power then my main desktopp box now.
[19:04] <arvut> fyi, the hibernation has worked when running windows xp. It's now dualbooting both without issues. Both are quite freshly installed
[19:04] <stewartnairn> Quantum_Ion: Yes want to connect guitars, keyboard etc to record as I did under windows.

[19:04] <cage_raphel> llutz: the  reason i am asking coz.. i had extreme difficulty to dual boot Ubuntu 10.4 and open solaris. i was wonderin if thats not the same case with fedora 13 as well

[19:05] <Apollo8> Dr_willis: should i?
[19:05] <zayr> glebihan: customize
[19:05] <Dr_Willis> Apollo8:  should you read the docs for a VERY complex program ? i think thats a yes..
[19:05] <Apollo8> Dr_willis: k thanks
[19:06] <Dr_Willis> Apollo8:  i have used it for ages.. and every so often i go back and reread them
[19:06] <glebihan> zayr: well there are a few things you can customize via System->preferences->Appearance
[19:06] <bcgrown> Dr_Willis: alienware or somesuch?
[19:06] <glebihan> zayr: further than that I don't think there is any gui tool to customize a theme
[19:06] <Dr_Willis> bcgrown:  nope. a Toshiba. ALienware is overrated   :)
[19:06] <Apollo8> Dr_willis: im a ubuntu noob where do i go to view the docs?
[19:06] <bcgrown> Dr_Willis: ah,  didn't realize anyone else made beasts like that
[19:06] <zayr> glebihan: there was

[19:07] <noob-tux> is wordpress under the repos for ubuntu 10.04?
[19:07] <sresu> Dr_Willis: are you talking about e SATA>
[19:07] <zayr> glebihan: i dont know i saw that on some custom theme screen and there was that software

[19:08] <arvut> are there known issues with hibernation on AMD machines?
[19:08] <Zain__> www.facebook.com - > book.com
[19:08] <Zain__> argh
[19:09] <arvut> I'm used to the errorfree intel =)
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> arvut:  theres all sorts of issues depending on many things, bios, cpu, hardware, drivers... it just depends..
[19:09] <arvut> right
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> ive seen some intel 'systems' that are definatly not error free these days.
[19:09] <halvor> its all fine now! no need for my brother to get close to command lines
[19:10] <arvut> will investigate it further then, hopefully that pc will be able to hibernate w/o probs soon.
[19:10] <blakkheim> halvor: what's wrong with the commandline?
[19:10] <glebihan> zayr: is that what you were talking about ? http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2006/11/25/gnome-theme-manager-to-support-color-scheme-customization/
[19:10] <Dr_Willis> i dont bother with hibernate or suspend any more.. ubuntu boots so fast.. i dont need the hassles
[19:11] <zayr> glebihan: nope
[19:11] <sresu> Dr_Willis: SSD boots much faster. Do you know if we can use SSD on HDD ports?
[19:11] <Mathuin> Dr_Willis: the thing about hibernate or suspend for me isn't how fast Ubuntu boots -- it's how fast it enters hibernate or suspend.
[19:11] <zayr> how is the kernel with the switchable graphics ?
[19:11] <erUSUL> not ready yet; afaik
[19:11] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  they got SDD hard drives that replace sata hard drives.. drop in replacements..
[19:12] <halvor> blakkheim: my brother is new to linux...
[19:12] <sresu> Dr_Willis: Yeah, but will it connect?
[19:12] <geckopunk> my work requires that I use Cisco's VPN Client with IPSec to connect. What would be an alternative client to use with Ubuntu 10.04?
[19:12] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  Huh? its an sata hard drive...
[19:12] <Dr_Willis> its just using solid state.. thats how they work. :)
[19:12] <glebihan> zayr: maybe this will do what you're looking for : http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/try-gstyle-project-new-gnome-theme.html
[19:12] <PovAddict> sresu: externally it's identical to a normal hard disk
[19:13] <sresu> Dr_Willis: Yes.. I mean Like how we have power and data ports in HDD. Whats there in SSD?
[19:13] <PovAddict> same connectors
[19:13] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  its same as a sata hd.. it IS an sata hd...
[19:13] <zayr> Are there any rumours about improving ubuntu security ?
[19:13] <phil_in_london> anyone got an email notifier working for imap accounts (preferrably with idle) working on their ubuntu? tried cgmail, but it does not remember the accounts added after shutdown and restart, tried everything available in symantic, for various reasons none work, and I don't want to use evolution.
[19:13] <PovAddict> zayr: what parts of its security aren't good enough?
[19:13] <sresu> zayr: As in? Ubuntu is very secure
[19:14] <zayr> ASLR
[19:14] <Zain__> :(
[19:14] <PovAddict> isn't that already enabled?
[19:14] <Dr_Willis> fishcooker:  ive not used  the squid caching proxy in ages... last i used it.. it was rather trivial to get going.. install it. set the browser proxy to use it..
[19:14] <zayr> Is there StackShield ? or something ?

[19:16] <zayr> PovAddict: no rumours about adding PaX ? This have only small problems with a most of applications
[19:16] <fishcooker> im kinda confused with user: password option on the parent http-proxy

[19:16] <Dr_Willis> fishcooker:  i never used any password options when i setup squid.
[19:16] <erUSUL> zayr: PaX by the looks of it will never hit mainline linux

[19:17] <zayr> erUSUL: And thats the problem ?
[19:17] <glebihan> sorsis: well that's weird, everything looks ok, does the "www-data" user have correct access permissions to the index.html file ?
[19:17] <Dr_Willis> Apollo8:  chat in the main channel please.. and state the whole of the problem..  we have short attention spans on IRC.
[19:17] <erUSUL> zayr: what problem? if you want to use PaX patch your kernel
[19:17] <sorsis> glebihan: where do i chech it?

[19:20] <ganeshran> Hi is the release candidate the final version of ubuntu 10.10?
[19:20] <glebihan> sorsis: and what about "ls -l /var/www" ?
[19:20] <zayr> erUSUL: but how is Ubuntu related to kernel problems ? they are making distro from parts which they want
[19:20] <glebihan> ganeshran: almost
[19:20] <sorsis> glebihan: same
[19:20] <sorsis> glebihan: could it be because i run ubuntu in virtualbox?
[19:20] <ganeshran> glebihan: So will there be a RTM later, or does ubuntu not have it?
[19:21] <glebihan> sorsis: sure could...
[19:21] <glebihan> ganeshran: RTM ?
[19:21] <slow-motion> hi
[19:21] <ganeshran> Release to market. Some software have a version out after RC
[19:21] <lahwran> http://www.phillylinux.org/keys/terminal.html#after << on this page, what does it mean by "the corresponding keys."?
[19:22] <Hexbomber> This may not be specifically an "ubuntu" related question, more just a general *nix question, but how can I list all the users on my system who use csh as their login shell?
[19:22] <lahwran> oh wait I get it :)
[19:22] <glebihan> ganeshran: yes the official release will happen tomorrow
[19:22] <Apollo8> Dr_willis: it says now when i run something on VB it says. Fatal: no bootable medium found! System halted.
[19:22] <ganeshran> cool.
[19:22] <glebihan> sorsis: never tried apache on a virtualbox but I guess it could raise some issues
[19:23] <Metapersona> Hi there.
[19:23] <erUSUL> zayr: ubuntu made a choice too; you have apparmor by default and selinux in the repos
[19:23] <glebihan> sorsis: btw, why are you running apache in a virtualbox system ?
[19:23] <Dr_Willis> Apollo8:  you need to insert some sort of bootable cd, or other medium same as you would a real machine.. Such as a ubuntu.iso or other OS iso file, or a real optical disk and set up virtualbox to use that disk.
[19:23] <Metapersona> Does anybody know how to sync the iphone with ubuntu 10.10?
[19:24] <glebihan> !iphone > Metapersona
[19:24] <sorsis> glebihan: doing school work with windows.

[19:24] <erkan^> 24.00 o'clock ubuntu 10.10 ?
[19:25] <PovAddict> when is the final Ubuntu ISO created?
[19:25] <PovAddict> I know it takes a while between final iso and release to the world, eg. to give time for mirrors to sync
[19:25] <glebihan> DanneD-swe: press enter between each row
[19:25] <Dr_Willis> Apollo8:  most windows 'recovery disks' are for specific hardware.. and may not work proerly in virtualbox.
[19:25] <DanneD-swe> thanks
[19:25] <Dr_Willis> Apollo8:  if you want an os to test.. try a 'tiny core linux' iso file. its only 10mb.
[19:26] <sorsis> glebihan: httpd seem to look fine from virtualbox
[19:26] <PovAddict> Dr_Willis: huh, what's that?
[19:26] <PovAddict> Dr_Willis: kernel + busybox? :P
[19:26] <sorsis> glebihan: just can't open page from windows
[19:26] <Dr_Willis> PovAddict:   it has X  and flvwm for its window manager.
[19:26] <PovAddict> wow

[19:26] <sorsis> glebihan: i get "it works" web page
[19:26] <glebihan> sorsis: that's normal as the virtualbox has no actual IP
[19:26] <Apollo8> Dr_willis: where do i get this?
[19:26] <Dr_Willis> PovAddict:   think of it as a 'cloud os' sort of thing.
[19:27] <Dr_Willis> Apollo8:  at the 'tiny core linux' home page..
[19:27] <chus225> hi all
[19:27] <nozes> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Kpuwlg6cVU
[19:27] <PovAddict> cloud?
[19:27] <Apollo8> tiny core linux
[19:27] <PovAddict> so it downloads stuff on boot or what?
[19:27] <Apollo8> MT
[19:27] <sorsis> glebihan: can virtualbox route traffic so that it could work as server?
[19:27] <Dr_Willis> PovAddict:  it can download on the fly as needed, or be set up other ways. its a very flexiable 'design'
[19:27] <Ken8521> sorsis: yes.. you just need to set up the network to "bridge" so it will call for it's own IP
[19:28] <Dr_Willis> sorsis:  you can set up a vbox session/os to work as (for example) a web server for the lan to access. yes.
[19:28] <glebihan> sorsis: no idea, you'd probably better ask that on #vbox
[19:28] <chus225> anybody can help me with virtualbox????
[19:28] <Dr_Willis> sorsis:  as if it was a real physical machine
[19:28] <DanneD-swe> When i do the step ''cd compat-wireless*'' the terminal returns
[19:28] <chus225> it send me a error message
[19:28] <DanneD-swe> Not a directory
[19:28] <PovAddict> chus225: #vbox
[19:28] <Dr_Willis> chus225:  state the whold problem. and what you are doing when it gives an error.
[19:28] <anodesni> DanneD-swe, you forgot the * at the end
[19:28] <Dr_Willis> and - it PAYS to read the virtualbox manual/guide at its homepage. and the ubuntu virtualbox wiki pages.
[19:29] <sorsis> Ken8521 Dr_Willis glebihan Thank you
[19:29] <chus225> the error is about file acpi.sys while i try to install windows xp
[19:29] <anodesni> DanneD-swe, maybe?
[19:29] <glebihan> sorsis: you're welcome
[19:29] <anodesni> DanneD-swe, I mean, you should substitute the * with the correct version
[19:29] <ramon> hi all
[19:30] <DanneD-swe> anodesni: it still returns the same thing
[19:30] <erUSUL> DanneD-swe: why not just « sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic » instead of compiling yourself?
[19:30] <glebihan> DanneD-swe: type "cd compat-wireless" and press TAB to autocomplete the filename
[19:30] <ramon> im using ubuntu desktop. is there a way to get it to automatically log in to my chat accounts when i log in to Ubuntu?

[19:31] <Apollo8> Dr_willis: it opened up xfburn, now what?
[19:31] <DanneD-swe> erusul: I need to have internet for that, don't I?
[19:31] <DanneD-swe> +
[19:31] <erUSUL> DanneD-swe: yes
[19:32] <DanneD-swe> erUSUL: that's the problem. I don't have internet :)
[19:32] <erUSUL> DanneD-swe: how do you got the tarball ?
[19:33] <Ayrton> Someone tested the multi-touch of 10.10 in the HP Pavillion TX2501us? If yes, worked?
[19:33] <DanneD-swe> erUSUL: Tarball?
[19:34] <glebihan> DanneD-swe: the .tar.bz2 file
[19:34] <erUSUL> DanneD-swe: the compat wireless source code
[19:34] <Dr_Willis> Apollo8:   you configure Virtualbox to use the iso.. you dont just double click on the iso...
[19:34] <DanneD-swe> erUSUL: From another computer, i moved it with a USB-stick :)
[19:35] <Braber01> I can't decide if it's really worth it to learn perl

[19:36] <raven_> gpodder: broken sqlite database any help???
[19:37] <DanneD-swe> erUSUL: where shall i look? Lucid Backports?
[19:38] <glebihan> DanneD-swe: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic
[19:38] <Ken8521> glebihan: isn't the backports file on the CD?
[19:38] <erUSUL> DanneD-swe: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=backports-modules-wireless&searchon=names&suite=lucid&section=all
[19:39] <erUSUL> DanneD-swe: dwonload the one that matchs your kernel version
[19:39] <erUSUL> DanneD-swe: uname -r
[19:39] <glebihan> Ken8521: possible, haven't looked at an Ubuntu CD for quite some time...
[19:40] <Ken8521> glebihan: if i'm not mistaken, it's in there somewhere...
[19:40] <Ken8521> add the CD as a source..
[19:41] <GuySoft> hi all, might anyone know of a program that lets you view geotagged photos on a map?
[19:41] <DanneD-swe> ''You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install the linux-backports-modules-wireless-generic meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work correctly, and that supporting packages are also installed. ''
[19:42] <erUSUL> DanneD-swe: you shoud do that when you get internet :)
[19:42] <Braber01> Dr_Wukkus, if($SSN ~= /\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}/) ... something like that?
[19:42] <DanneD-swe> ah ok
[19:43] <DanneD-swe> http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-24-generic
[19:43] <DanneD-swe> so that's the package i need
[19:43] <DanneD-swe> how do i download it?:P
[19:43] <glebihan> erUSUL: I'd guess he'll have internet once he'll get wireless to work ;)
[19:44] <Ken8521> DanneD-swe: well, are you using 32 or 64bit?
[19:44] <erUSUL> DanneD-swe: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-24-generic
[19:44] <mattbd> GuySoft:TBH, that's a more natural thing for a web app to do than a desktop app
[19:44] <erUSUL> DanneD-swe: there you have the links for 32 or 64 bits
[19:45] <GuySoft> mattbd, yes but i dont want to upload around 2000 images
[19:46] <GuySoft> ... just to see i tagged them wrong  or something :-/
[19:46] <DanneD-swe> should i just run the ''apt-get'' command now?
[19:47] <mattbd> GuySoft: Fair enough - maybe there's an Adobe AIR app that'll do it? I'll have a quick look
[19:47] <DanneD-swe> I have it on my usb stick
[19:47] <raven_> gpodder: broken sqlite database any help???
[19:47] <Ken8521> DanneD-swe: now when you boot Ubuntu, double click it, and hopefully it won't have any dependency problems
[19:47] <Ken8521> then i imagine when you restart your wireless will(hopefully) be working
[19:48] <erUSUL> DanneD-swe: just double clicking on the deb file should beggin the install
[19:48] <Ken8521> frankly, if it were me, i'd have went and bought a 3ft ethernet cord and hooked up to the router/modem.
[19:48] <eightiesk> is there a distro that i can use for old ppl?
[19:48] <GuySoft> mattbd, thanks..
[19:48] <eightiesk> lol
[19:48] <espoon-erkki> what irc channel has the best maverick countdown party?
[19:48] <Ken8521> eightiesk: old people?
[19:48] <GuySoft> someone on #photogeeks claims digikam can do it..
[19:48] <Ken8521> !release-party | espoon-erkki
[19:48] <erUSUL> !party > espoon-erkki
[19:49] <Kurdistan> some hours left to the release of maverick :)
[19:49] <jeremydei> i wish i could figure out why the 10.10rc won't boot from my EFI stuff (like rEfit).  It either kernel panics or says 'select type of boot cd' 1)blank 2)blank
[19:49] <DanneD-swe> It's fun, yersterday i tried to install the RC of Maverick. It found internet, but wouldn't install.
[19:50] <agentgasmask> Hi. Can someone test if they can connect to www.debian-administration.org for me, I think I have a DNS issue or somthing.  That's what I thought
[19:51] <DanneD-swe> erusul: thank you!  Error while getting peer-to-peer dbus connection: The name :1.81 was not provided by any .service files". How do i fix this?
[19:52] <russjr08> ubottu is the perfect bot! :)
[19:53] <Ken8521> DanneD-swe: what is the wireless device that gve you all these problems?
[19:53] <russjr08> Sure you are ubottu!
[19:53] <agentgasmask> sedulous: Let me check the DNS settings in my router... one sec.
[19:53] <mindrape> agentgasmask - who is providing DNS services for you?  ie; your webhost?  you using free dns like afraid.org?
[19:53] <agentgasmask> sedulous: how can I check if I'm setup for IPv6? I'm on a standerd Ubuntu install.
[19:54] <sedulous> agentgasmask: ip -6 addr
[19:54] <mattbd> GuySoft: F-Spot seems to have an extension to allow geotagging, but I couldn't get it to install
[19:54] <pmp6nl> Hello, can anyone help me get beagle to index ntfs?  Thanks in advance
[19:54] <sedulous> agentgasmask: sorry, rather: ip -6 route
[19:54] <Braber01> hey can somebody trash some guy on Blogtv.com for me? he just said that Linux is for Pikeys.
[19:54] <mindrape> agentgasmask - you'd need to go through a tunnel broker to actually use ipv6 on the interwebz... most ISPs still dont provide it natively.
[19:54] <agentgasmask> mindrape: I'm using charter communications.
[19:54] <GuySoft> mattbd,  did the tagging, the problem is viewing them
[19:54] <glebihan> !ot | Braber01
[19:55] <agentgasmask> sedulous: fe80::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256  mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit<PHONE_NUMBER>
[19:55] <vaibhav>  am getting X Window System (X11/XShm/Xv): Could not initialise Xv output on my ubuntu 10.04
[19:55] <almoxarife> pmp6nl: beagle should index the folder/dir you configure for indexing
[19:56] <DanneD-swe> ken8521: Atheros Communications AR8152 is the ethernet controller, the network controller is Broadcom :)
[19:56] <mattbd> GuySoft: OK, so what you'd like is a viewer that will place them on a map?
[19:56] <vaibhav> how I can sove this issue if X?
[19:56] <ridz16> guys I need help!! I recently clone my old hdd to new hdd using clonezilla, the msg says clone complete now when I boot to either hdd I get a black screen with a msg- error: no such partition. grub rescue>
[19:56] <agentgasmask> mindrape: Is www.debian-administration.org sitting on an IPv6 address?
[19:56] <GuySoft> mattbd, yes exactly
[19:56] <sedulous> agentgasmask: good. that's just a local route, so IPv6 is not the problem here
[19:56] <mindrape> agentgasmask - it's setup for both me thinks...
[19:56] <agentgasmask> sedulous: ok, cool.
[19:57] <pmp6nl> almoxarife I told beagle to index the ntfs folders months ago, but it doesnt seem to have indexed anything.
[19:57] <GuySoft> mattbd, a google physical map would be preferred
[19:57] <sedulous> yeah, the site work with both protocols
[19:57] <agentgasmask> mindrape: any other help?
[19:58] <almoxarife> pmp6nl: the ntfs folders are normally available to view?
[19:58] <agentgasmask> I'll keep hacking away at it. I've got to run. Thanks for the help. :)
[19:58] <mattbd> GuySoft: Had a look, can't find anything that meets your requirements on any platform
[19:58] <pmp6nl> almoxarife yep, I can access the files just fine
[19:59] <GuySoft> mattbd, so how people view geotagged photos??
[19:59] <GuySoft> with all the millions of google-map mashups..
[19:59] <gn0men00b> hey, how can i access the restricted drivers pannel from the command line?
[19:59] <ArtArfon> ridz16: Make sure you attach the cloned drive where the old one was located and make sure its got the same jumper settings.
[19:59] <gn0men00b> my GUI isn't showing it...
[20:00] <gn0men00b> any help?
[20:00] <almoxarife> pmp6nl: I gave up on tracker and beagle and have been using google desktop, its painless and does it all without confusing confs
[20:00] <ridz16> I did, I disconnected the wire that was connecting the old hdd to new hdd, but what do you mean about jumper setting?
[20:00] <mattbd> GuySoft: Adobe AIR seems like the ideal way to do something like that though, and it sounds like a useful app, so I'm surprised if no-one's made something like that
[20:01] <ibm> 这里是什么地方？
[20:01] <alzie> gn0men00b: what are you looking for
[20:01] <ArtArfon> ridz16: master slave cable select etc
[20:01] <Braber01> on netbook edtion can I disable GDM where ever it's located i know it's in /etc/*/* somewhere and I hava to mv gdm-disabled
[20:01] <erUSUL> adobe air is propitary ....
[20:01] <erUSUL> !cn | ibm
[20:01] <glebihan> !cn | ibm
[20:01] <gn0men00b> alzie, just to access the restricted drivers interface
[20:01] <pmp6nl> almoxarife so that will index both ntfs and ext4 from ubuntu?
[20:02] <gn0men00b> alzie, in system > administration i don't get the hardware option
[20:02] <almoxarife> pmp6nl: yeap
[20:02] <alzie> gn0men00b: it doesnt show hardware drivers?
[20:02] <pmp6nl> almoxarife thanks
[20:02] <ridz16> ya I got that fix thru Boot Menu right? the only hdd that shows is the new hdd
[20:02] <gn0men00b> alzie, no
[20:02] <csmith1994> hey guys. my dad has a computer that is running win98. no usb boot, and I can't burn a cd because I have a netbook and we don't even have cds. could someone link me to a guide on how to install xubuntu (it's a low end system) via the network from lucid?
[20:02] <GuySoft> mattbd, its strange..
[20:03] <DanneD-swe> so next question hehe. Is there anyway to inactivate the built in speakers on my laptop? They are broken and sound like crap, and i have my other speakers plugged in. But sound is still coming through the built in ones...
[20:03] <ervis> Hi all
[20:03] <mattbd> csmith1994: I think Xubuntu might be a bit heavy too - Lubuntu sounds a better bet
[20:04] <cupis> csmith1994, perhaps using wubi? not sure if that will work in your situation
[20:04] <alzie> gn0men00b: Right click on Applications, click on edit menus, click on administration and you can add it there
[20:04] <ArtArfon> ridz16: Put my nick first on every line or i might miss your output. No, the physical settings on the HD (jumpers). But you can also rewrite grub.conf to point to the new HD (0,1) (1,2) or so
[20:05] <gn0men00b> alzie, there isn't possible to add the menu too... =/
[20:05] <nascentmind_> Hi. When I am trying to watch flash videos it runs at a very high rate like fast forward. How can I fix this?
[20:05] <mattbd> csmith1994:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot
[20:05] <ridz16> Artarfon: ok how do I do that
[20:05] <gn0men00b> alzie, it doesn't seems to be installed this module here
[20:05] <mattbd> csmith1994: Should apply equally to pretty much any Ubuntu variant
[20:05] <csmith1994> mattbd: honestly I'm not totally sure of how much hardware it has I might start with lubuntu and work my way up haha. cupis: how would I get wubi over to it though. it's on win98 so it can't access my file system
[20:05] <ArtArfon> ridz16: Locate the small plastic pice on the HD and set it as its set on the original hd.
[20:06] <gn0men00b> alzie, can u go there (right clicking) and see the command line responsible for that menu plz?
[20:06] <csmith1994> mattbd: I think my ethernet drivers are out of date though :( gonna have to check
[20:06] <cupis> csmith1994, ah I thought there was an online version of wubi
[20:07] <ArtArfon> ridz16: | | | | <- pins with a plastic bit put between two of the metal thingies.
[20:07] <DanneD-swe> erUSUL: So, now update manager is done. Was there something else you tought i should do? :)
[20:07] <erkinacar5> errmm hello ^^ there is no xorg.conf in 9.10 right? ^^
[20:07] <mattbd> csmith1994:If all else fails you could try Tiny Core Linux or Damn Small Linux
[20:07] <erUSUL> DanneD-swe: scroll back ;P
[20:07] <Qunatum_Ion> mattbd, Do you know Linux On a Floppy is still active aka L.O.A.F ?
[20:08] <ridz16> Artarfon, you mean the SATA cable? the red looking cable
[20:08] <Qunatum_Ion> lol who uses floppies anymore
[20:08] <csmith1994> upis: there is, but I can't get online on that pc and have no easy way of file transfer. mattbd: How could I boot that without cd or usb or network
[20:08] <DanneD-swe> hehe true.
[20:08] <Ken8521> DanneD-swe: what version of Ubuntu did you install?
[20:08] <cupis> csmith1994, does the laptop have internet connectivity? http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer
[20:08] <alzie> gn0men00b: I'm not as smart as some here, are you looking for a graphics card driver?
[20:08] <cupis> ah, no network
[20:08] <cupis> that'll be interesting then
[20:09] <gn0men00b> alzie, can you please go through the menu, right clicking, go to administration, and have a look at the command line of the hardware pannel?
[20:09] <geekosopher> is it out?
[20:09] <Qunatum_Ion> I have a USB floppy disk drive that I use from time to time but it seems so ancient nowadays
[20:09] <mattbd> Qunatum_Ion: Not heard of it before. I know Damn Small Linux can be booted from a floppy, but it's not properly maintained anymore
[20:09] <gn0men00b> alzie, no, a wireless card driver
[20:09] <csmith1994> cupis: yes
[20:09] <ArtArfon> ridz16: http://www.wdc.com/en/library/eide/2579-001037.pdf
[20:09] <shamppu> usb floppy disk??? wth
[20:09] <sailerboy> Qunatum_Ion, your best bet may be puppy linux
[20:09] <cupis> USB CD/DVD reader?
[20:09] <wendico> hello, any solution for the slow flash player performance? i followed advice on what i found on google and i just got a minor perfomance improvement
[20:10] <alzie> gn0men00b: /usr/bin/jockey-gtk
[20:10] <Qunatum_Ion> shamppu, yeah you can buy USB floppy disk drives still even though they are ancient technology
[20:10] <DanneD-swe> Ken8251: 10.04 Lucid Lynx :)
[20:10] <Ken8521> gn0men00b: do you know the chipset on your wireless device?
[20:10] <Ken8521> DanneD-swe: ok.. was just making sure you weren't installing 8.10... been a lot of that lately(i guess some book came out w/ that cd)
[20:11] <DanneD-swe> it can't find the package. erusul: is it important? :P
[20:11] <csmith1994> cupis no it doesn
[20:11] <Huji> 'leave
[20:11] <erUSUL> DanneD-swe: run « sudo apt-get install  linux-backports-modules-wireless-generic »
[20:11] <Qunatum_Ion> Here is a whole list for USB external floppy disk drives http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=631&SRCCODE=WEBGOOCOMP&cm_mmc_o=mH4CjC7BBTkwCjCECjCE
[20:11] <DanneD-swe> ken8251: i was trying with the RC of 10.10 but it wouldn't install.
[20:11] <erkinacar5> anyone know a solution for mouse getting at the right bottom corner of screen in some games at Karmic Koala? ^^
[20:11] <gn0men00b> alzie, just a second plz...
[20:12] <Qunatum_Ion> I just finished building vlc player from source boy that was fun
[20:12] <nascentmind_> anybody?
[20:12] <mattbd> Qunatum_Ion: Ever tried Linux From Scratch?
[20:12] <DanneD-swe> Erusul: That's what i'm trying to do. It says it can't find it.
[20:13] <Qunatum_Ion> mattbd, I looked at it before but it will probably take a long time to build Linux from scratch
[20:13] <erUSUL> DanneD-swe: sorry is « sudo apt-get install  linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic »
[20:13] <Ken8521> DanneD-swe: why wouldn't 10.10 install?...
[20:13] <GuySoft> mattbd, digikam does that. but it does not let you zoom the map
[20:14] <christian_lappy> guys
[20:14] <mattbd> Qunatum_Ion: Took me about two days - not a good idea on a laptop! Very educational but just building the base system takes that long
[20:14] <christian_lappy> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/UDS/N
[20:14] <DanneD-swe> Ken8521: It stopped at the ''who are you'' screen
[20:14] <christian_lappy> mltitouch...
[20:14] <Ken8521> DanneD-swe: well you were past the hard part(partitioning)
[20:14] <ArtArfon> mattbd: I have built a few dists based from source and made my own kernel mounting script and initrd. Its much work and itll take alot of time but its clearly fun and rewarding.
[20:14] <Qunatum_Ion> mattbd, I believe you
[20:15] <christian_lappy> and seriously steam in the wiki page ?!?!
[20:15] <ArtArfon> mattbd: Thinking about it ?
[20:15] <IdleOne> !ot | christian_lappy
[20:15] <wendico> how to know exact version of ubuntu i am running?
[20:15] <jeremydei> any mactel users out there that can help with booting the live cd?  I'm getting "kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)"
[20:15] <DanneD-swe> Ken8251: yes :)
[20:15] <Qunatum_Ion> wendico, type uname -a
[20:16] <erUSUL> !version | wendico
[20:16] <mattbd> GuySoft: If that's the only additional thing you need, and digiKam does everything else you want, then it might be worth letting them know that's a feature you'd like to see
[20:16] <wendico> thank you
[20:17] <GuySoft> mattbd, i need to move the pics to my laptop. on my PC here there is only KDE3, so digikam is on version 0.93
[20:17] <GuySoft> 0.95 something
[20:17] <wendico> so, how to solve slow flash player animations in Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS (lucid)
[20:17] <ramya> hi
[20:17] <avo> !hi | ramya
[20:17] <mattbd> ArtArfon: Did it earlier this year, but should really have used a desktop, not a laptop! Still it taught me a lot and I'd like to try it again sometime
[20:17] <avo>  !hi is missing?
[20:18] <erUSUL> wendico: go to Adobe headquartes take some hostages and demand a fix ;P
[20:18] <wendico> :)
[20:18] <ramya> my graphics we very slow in my system.
[20:18] <ArtArfon> mattbd: I build my dists on a dual core. Takes time but i have mine automated.
[20:18] <wendico> i will, ill have some snipers on the roofs
[20:18] <wendico> :P
[20:18] <ArtArfon> mattbd: I usually just let it compile over nights in 2-3 phases
[20:18] <erUSUL> ^.^
[20:19] <wendico> somebody knows if i will have better flash performance on a virtualbox windows xp system on my ubuntu?
[20:19] <mattbd> GuySoft:Sorry, don't know what else to suggest
[20:19] <GuySoft> does fspot do anything?
[20:20] <Ken8521> GuySoft: it's a photo organizer...
[20:20] <GuySoft> Ken8521, so is digikam no?
[20:20] <Ken8521> GuySoft: but digikam is kde to my knowledge
[20:21] <GuySoft> Ken8521, indeed, but i am talking about viewing geotagged photos
[20:21] <mattbd> GuySoft: F-Spot does apparently have some kind of plugin to do that
[20:21] <devslash> if i installed 10.10 release candidate, is there a difference between the RC and the final build
[20:21] <ArtArfon> mattbd: Im going to update all software in my repo and build a new dist this winter. Would be cool to make an official release some day. I have been making it for about 8 years now :)
[20:22] <Dr_Willis> devslash:  install rc, update, upgrade, it sjhould be the final
[20:22] <IdleOne> !ot | ArtArfon
[20:22] <wendico> rc means it is not finished and may have bugs, isnt it?
[20:22] <ArtArfon> Yah Yah :)
[20:22] <devslash> Dr_Willis: will i lose anything when i upgrade
[20:22] <erUSUL> !final > devslash
[20:22] <mattbd> GuySoft: Not sure whether it does all you want as I couldn't get the plugin to install, but it's worth trying
[20:22] <Dr_Willis> devslash:   that one of the points of a 'upgrade' is you keep your users settings...
[20:22] <ehcah> Does anyone have an Exchange Host recommendation that they know will work with either Evolution or Thunderbird?
[20:23] <GuySoft> sorry for the silly question, mattbd, how do you install plugins on f-spot? :-/
[20:23]  * GuySoft is importing the photos to fspot now
[20:24] <mattbd> GuySoft: Should be Edit>Manage Extensions
[20:24] <wendico> if i do not "expand" my panel, on login (after new boot) the panel is on the middle of the screen, any solution?
[20:24] <devslash> thanks
[20:24] <franksterville> Silly question....  start x to start gui...  to stop gui???
[20:25] <Dice-Man> xkill ?
[20:25] <mattbd> GuySoft: As at right now, though, the extension repository is coming up with a 404 error - not sure if it's a bug or the site is down
[20:26] <franksterville> Dice-Man:  Isnt xkill for specific window?
[20:26] <Muelli> franksterville: server gdm stop
