[07:31] <maco> agorist: oh well yes thats still the case
[07:31] <maco> agorist: 64bit flash is unreleased
[07:31] <UbuntoJO> Xubuntu Karmic here...I'll look at them real quick....brb thanks
[07:31] <maco> agorist: but there are 32bit libraries for compatibility for 64bit and a bit of extra glue besides
[07:31] <McLovin> agorist, dept will read the kernel and only update based on the arc of the system
[07:31] <maco> agorist: which should be installed automatically
[07:31] <deviant-route> keppi, yea i'll try doing that
[07:32] <tmade> maco: got it. dns does not work..i put in the ip :-) anyway i´d like to know in which place proxy setting is saved!?
[07:32] <McLovin> agorist, * adept i cant spell tonight
[07:32] <maco> tmade: i dont know, sorry
[07:32] <agorist> maco: what 32bit libraries are you talking about? Have you ever gotten flash to run right on a 64bit linux?
[07:32] <tmade> somebody know in which file proxy settings are saved in?
[07:33] <tmade> on kde
[07:33] <maco> agorist: itll automatically pull in ia32libs and nspluginwrapper and some other bits to make 32bit flash work on 64bit linux. and yes, thats what i use.
[07:33] <deviant-route> well good night all
[07:33] <maco> tmade: #kubuntu would be better. this is a gnome-centric channel
[07:33] <agorist> maco - oh, so the 32bit libs are intalled automatically? Ok. Do you use the flashplugin-nonfree or flashplugin ??
[07:33] <maco> agorist: flashplugin-nonfree
[07:33] <viki27> Hello , when i used the command "pppoecof" to setup my dsl connection , and the dsl working great but now when i plug my computer to regular network (router) its not working ?
[07:33] <tmade> maco: thanks!
[07:33] <agorist> Maco - and you don't get tearing? Maybe I need a nice nVidia video card or something
[07:34] <maco> agorist: if you want a native 64bit flash that can at least handle youtube (but not necessarily flahs-based games), i like swfdec
[07:34] <maco> agorist: i have intel graphics. i dont know what you mean about tearing though
[07:34] <maco> agorist: i mean....most flash videos are simply encoded really really crappily
[07:34] <agorist> maco - i don't do flash games, or games at all really. So I can use swfdec for x64? Would I have to unintall flashplugin-nonfree then?
[07:34] <maco> agorist: yes
[07:35] <anonmatir> ny one ever converted avi to vob cd's and played on home dvd?
[07:35] <agorist> maco - do know what tearing is?
[07:35] <maco> agorist: you mean bad graphics, where its kinda chunky instead of smooth?
[07:35] <ZykoticK9> anonmatir, check out the gui program devede - very cool
[07:35] <yoshx> hello
[07:35] <maco> agorist: i thought flash videos on youtube and such were just *always* like that
[07:35] <maco> agorist: to make the filesize smaller
[07:36] <anonmatir> ZykoticK9: thanxs!
[07:36] <agorist> maco - tearing is specifically where you get lines across the screen when cameras pan sideways quickly and the different chunks of the screen lose sync with each other.
[07:36] <agorist> maco - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tearing_%28simulated%29.jpg
[07:37] <maco> agorist: ah ok, i dont think ive seen that
[07:37] <UbuntoJO> went from xchat to xchat-gnome on Xubuntu Karmic....much better
[07:37] <UbuntoJO> tks
[07:37] <agorist> maco - BRB - thanks for ur help btw
[07:37] <landry> agorist:  hey I get that in youtube
[07:38] <viki27> Hello , when i used the command "pppoecof" to setup my dsl connection , and the dsl working great but now when i plug my computer to regular network (router) its not working ?
[07:38] <leobotelho> Hey everyone ! I need some help ! I've been trying to use the Ubuntu in the past seven months, but unfortunately no audio comes out my speakers !! I have a HP Pavilion DV3510 !!
[07:39] <leobotelho> Does anybody have any idea to solve this issue !?!?!
[07:39] <somename> will let you know how it goes:)
[07:39] <ZykoticK9> leobotelho, what audio card?  "lspci | grep -i audio" what version of Ubuntu?
[07:40] <leobotelho> Intel HDA ITX
[07:40] <ZykoticK9> leobotelho, that's the output from "lspci | grep -i audio"?
[07:40] <ahmed> hi all can any body help me
[07:40] <alabd> Good day everyone  , sun-java-jre and openjdk both are installed how to say firefox to use openjdk ?
[07:40] <leobotelho> I'm sorry not ITX !! Was IDT
[07:40] <maxagaz> i can access a server via an address and a port, with password, so I've add my pub key using ssh-copy-id, now i can access the server from this way without password, but if i try to access the server from another address and port, it returns: Permission denied (publickey). Why?
[07:41] <Guest56375> help here for one munite
[07:42] <leobotelho> Zykotick, I'm not the hacker, and this is the main problem. I searched many forums around, and I tried many things, but even working on my best, the audio is still zero !!
[07:42] <ZykoticK9> !tab > leobotelho
[07:42] <disappearedng> Can someone tell me what does the term "classification model" mean within the context for SaaS?
[07:44] <ZykoticK9> leobotelho, in a terminal run "lspci | grep -i audio" - if it is one line (and it probably will be), post it back in the channel, if it is multilined used Pastebin.  Also what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[07:44] <bigmack83_> i have an external hdd that ubuntu says may be failing.Disk Utility says that the reallocated sector count is bas as well as current pending sector count. tryign to mount the partition tells me to log into windows and run fdisk /f to try and fix the partition. which didnt seem to work. anyone know of a way i can fix it? its a new hdd and *should* still be good.the error didnt crop up unitl i had already copied data to it so i know it
[07:44] <bigmack83_> did work
[07:44] <asd> #ubuntu-ru
[07:44] <Guest56375> help here frome any body ther please
[07:44] <maco> bigmack83_: new does not imply good
[07:44] <leobotelho> I'm using the 9.10, but the 8.04 was the same
[07:45] <maco> bigmack83_: frequently, hard drives either go when very new or when very old and not so much in the middle
[07:45] <leobotelho> my lspci shows me the follow:
[07:45] <leobotelho> 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
[07:45] <bigmack83_> maco, yea i know its possible to get a bad hdd, but i was using it before. so i feel as if it could be an error that can be corrected
[07:45] <bigmack83_> yea true
[07:45] <maco> bigmack83_: if the sectors are bad, backup now and get it replaced under warranty
[07:46] <maco> bigmack83_: i think its like < 1yr or > 5yr as most common ages for disks to go
[07:46] <leobotelho> And in the 9.10 I saw a difference, the ALSA comes with a question mark "?" !! I can't really work on it !!
[07:46] <maco> leobotelho: that line from lspci is useles
[07:46] <arche> is there any software for ubuntu that will recover/remove a password on a word document?
[07:47] <bigmack83_> maco, well thats the problem. i cant access it. so I cant copy the data off of it. it was only to store media and other random files so its not my OS
[07:47] <agorist> landry: yeah, that's called tearing. I hate it. It is usually cause by software. Like flash plugins.
[07:47] <ZykoticK9> leobotelho, did you clean/fresh install 9.10?
[07:47] <imprint> How do I install expressgate to my asus board after ubuntu has already been installed?
[07:47] <leobotelho> I uninstall the 8.04, and then I install the 9.10.
[07:47] <maco> bigmack83_: well if its not worth the $1000 itd take to do data restoration...just send it for warranty replacement
[07:48] <ZykoticK9> leobotelho, like upgraded?
[07:48] <maco> leobotelho: did 8.04 work? and have you checked that nothing is mute/0?
[07:48] <maco> leobotelho: in alsamixer, check that stuff. very common confusion
[07:48] <leobotelho> Not. I really removed it and after removed I install the new version. I did it because I thought I could get the audio issue solved !!
[07:49] <agorist> maco - so I thought SWF files were for games, not videos? Do I have that backwords/
[07:49] <leobotelho> Nothing is mute
[07:49] <maco> agorist: swf is just a flash container
[07:49] <maco> agorist: it can contain a flv or a game or whatever
[07:49] <ZykoticK9> leobotelho, does it list your card with "aplay -l"
[07:49] <agorist> maco - so I shouldn't install SWF and FlashPlugin at the same time?
[07:50] <Meowpup> hey my synaptic is messed up it only has some of the files in it and they are all installed ones.
[07:50] <damian> hihi
[07:50] <ZykoticK9> leobotelho, are you using WUBI?
[07:50] <bigmack83_> maco, lol forget 1k servicing. and i just bought it and i dont really feel like waiting for warranty. lol. i will more than likely just take it back and get a new one. just have to get new copies of some of my media
[07:50] <maco> agorist: no, pick one
[07:50] <leobotelho> I'm sorry Zykorick, where I should check it ?!?!
[07:50] <ZykoticK9> !tab > leobotelho
[07:50] <leobotelho> I install from my windows, which I believe is WUBI
[07:50] <ZykoticK9> leobotelho, in a terminal type "aplay -l" and see if it lists your card
[07:51] <leobotelho> **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

[07:52] <imprint> Does anyone know anything about expressgate?
[07:52] <d4rkfe4r> Anyone dual monitor with nvidia?
[07:52] <agorist> maco. Have you ever noticed that installing adobe's deb file is better/worse than apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree ??
[07:53] <Hum__> hi
[07:53] <Billiard> agorist: ive found flashplugin-nonfree is better
[07:53] <keppi> hi hum
[07:53] <keppi> haha
[07:53] <maco> agorist: its the same deb, but if ou do it through the repositories you get the libraries necessary to make it work on 64bit
[07:53] <agorist> Billiard - thanks 4 ur input
[07:53] <mneptok> agorist: i386 or x86_64?
[07:53] <leobotelho> I guess this is the result for the aplay
[07:53] <leobotelho> http://paste.ubuntu.com/325925/
[07:54] <Hum__> hi
[07:54] <Hum__> can I ask question here?
[07:54] <mneptok> Hum__: you just did.
[07:54] <Hum__> haha I see
[07:54] <keppi> !ask | Hum__
[07:54] <Hum__> ok then
[07:54] <Hum__> anybody know how to install sun-java5-jdk on 9.10 ubuntu ?
[07:55] <Billiard> Hum__: try the package manager?
[07:55] <viki27> maco:  when i used the command "pppoecof" to setup my dsl connection , and the dsl working great but now when i plug my computer to regular network (router) its not working ?
[07:55] <Hum__> I've read that sun has stopped to support jdk 5 as of 3 of november
[07:55] <mneptok> Hum__: Java 6 will not work?
[07:55] <leobotelho> I'm sorry for bother you Zykotick, but did you get my message?
[07:55] <nexace> is there a free DVD player supported by ubuntu?
[07:55] <keppi> hum__:  why not install java6
[07:56] <arche> is there easy to use noob software for hard drive smart scanning?
[07:56] <Hum__> I need to compile android
[07:56] <agorist> mneptok - x64
[07:56] <agorist> maco - oh, yeah, that's right.
[07:56] <Hum__> and the android NDK only builds on jdk 5
[07:56] <Billiard> arche: "smart scanning"?
[07:56] <mneptok> agorist: i'd use the beta of the 64-bit plugin (and i do)
[07:56] <maco> viki27: i know nothing about pppoe stuff. i use cable internet.
[07:56] <mneptok> agorist: available only from Adobe
[07:57] <d4rkfe4r> Im trying to dual monitor on my GeForce 8800GT but the nvidia drivers software doesnt go up to 1280 x 1024 (thats the max res on both of my monitors) on one of my monitors but it does on the other.  So I switched the cables and now the res options have flipped.. is it possible that there is something wrong with one of my plugs on my card?
[07:57] <nexace> is there a free DVD player supported by ubuntu?
[07:57] <maco> Billiard: smart, as in the hard disk diagnostics stuff
[07:57] <nomad77> !mplayer |nexace
[07:57] <d4rkfe4r> !vlc |nexace
[07:57] <maco> arche: smart-notifier
[07:57] <arche> Billiard, like scanning for bad sectors etc on my drives
[07:57] <nexace> tnx
[07:58] <leobotelho> Hey !! I'm sorry everyone !! But I got the floodsomething and I don't know if I'm still able to ask ?!?! Does anyone can keep trying helping me with my audio issue !?!?
[07:58] <ZykoticK9> leobotelho, yes i got your message(s), i've been googling without a lot of success i'm affraid.  I hope someone else in the channel reaches out to ya - cause i'm afraid I don't have anything at this time.  What scares me was searches with Wubi seemed to get quite a few "no sound" with your particular sound h/w.
[07:58] <maco> leobotelho: paste the output of the "amixer" command to paste.ubuntu.com
[07:59] <nomad77> !pastebinit
[07:59] <agorist> mneptok - did you need any dependency for flash 10.1 x64 beta?
[07:59] <leobotelho> I put the amixer at http://paste.ubuntu.com/325929/
[07:59] <songer> hello, how can I install all the plug  like flash, java?
[07:59] <mneptok> agorist: nope.
[07:59] <songer> what's the  command?
[08:00] <crazyoni> Hello all, I'm trying to install ubuntu 9.10 on a system that I worked with Ubuntu 9.04 until a week a go.
[08:00] <nomad77> !codecs > songer
[08:00] <ZykoticK9> maco, "amixer" to verify mute - very cool, will remember that one
[08:00] <nexace> wow i just installed mplayer for free and in less than 2 minutes
[08:00] <nexace> long live linux
[08:01] <d4rkfe4r> So I guess no one dual monitors using nvidia
[08:01] <agorist> mneptok - did you put the .so file in ~/.mozilla/plugins ??
[08:01] <leobotelho> Honestly, I'm pretty sure it is not mute !! If it is, I can really see at the ALSA panel
[08:01] <crazyoni> Now I cannot install the 9.10 because the gui and my monitor cannot work together I'm getting an "out of sync" error message in my monitor, I tried two monitors and I've got the same issue, what seems to notice me that there is problem installing 9.10 with AGP Nvidia 760GT maybe? on VGA connection?
[08:01] <songer> ok, thanks. I just got ubuntu 9.04
[08:02] <songer>  and i want to upgrade to 9.10 < need to install first all updates?
[08:02] <leobotelho> I found this online

[08:03] <AdvoWork> how can I change a rename a user on ubuntu?i remember doing it before by changing user ids or similar?
[08:04] <mneptok> agorist: quite right
[08:04] <mneptok> agorist: then load about:plugins in Fx to activate it
[08:04] <franklin1> can't install any software and update in ubuntu server:-(
[08:05] <agorist> mneptok - I don't have a file called "plugins" in .mozilla - so just created, right?
[08:06] <McLovin> night all
[08:06] <songer> crazyoni, try disconnecting your monitor en your instalation
[08:07] <d4rkfe4r> Does anyone dual monitor with nvidia cards?
[08:07] <mneptok> agorist: only if you want Flash ;)
[08:07] <mattcen> d4rkfe4r: I do
[08:08] <d4rkfe4r> Mind if i pm you?
[08:08] <mattcen> Nope, go ahead

[08:13] <arche> anyone here familiar with how to install desklets from gnome-look.org >?
[08:13] <d4rkfe4r> Meowpup, i can apt-get fine

[08:14] <siocowiz> !list
[08:14] <d4rkfe4r> Meowpup, works fine for me
[08:14] <Meowpup> d4rkfe4r: what version you using
[08:14] <anonmatir> Meowpup: what are u trying to get ? some old un supported packaged that are blocked in ur secure source file?
[08:14] <d4rkfe4r> 9.10
[08:14] <Meowpup> i got ubuntu 9.0.4
[08:14] <d4rkfe4r> Ahhh
[08:14] <d4rkfe4r> maybe they canceled support for your version
[08:15] <d4rkfe4r> or something
[08:15] <Meowpup> man if its that then ubuntu sux atm as its verry fast to obsolete the older version
[08:15] <siocowiz> how come my xchat-gnome does not download files?

[08:15] <MarkGil> Hi, I have a script that behaves funny on Ubuntu and Debian.   If it's launched ./myscript, it uses BASH, if someone uses sh ./myscript, it uses DASH (and breaks).  The first line of my script has; #!/bin/bash  What gives?
[08:16] <Meowpup> that meand even ubuntu 9.04 based sidtros such as linux mint are out dated and mint 8 is not even out in full release yet.
[08:16] <leobotelho> Am I crazy? Or I'm not having any "help" regarding my audio issue ?!?!
[08:17] <leobotelho> I was so happy that someone was paying attention on me that I thought finally I would solve the issue
[08:17] <Meowpup> leobotelho: Do not ask to ask, just ask! We also ask that you not ask over and over again, if someone knows, they will respond. (So, yes, you may ask.)
[08:17] <ZykoticK9> MarkGil, what you said makes perfect sense.  if someone uses "sh ./myscript" they are specifically calling Dash (Ubuntu sh command)
[08:17] <leobotelho> txs
[08:17] <tech-mike> sup peeps, just wondering if using the adobe flash 10.1 (which is x32 i think) is better than the x64 pre-release  ?
[08:17] <MarkGil> so the #!/bin/bash does nothing useful then?
[08:18] <Meowpup> hey has ubuntu stopped support for 9.04 now
[08:18] <snkcld> anything tht starts with # is a comment
[08:18] <Meowpup> anyone know
[08:18] <Meowpup> yes anything that starts with # is ignored
[08:19] <Dajago> AdvoWork: usermod -u <oldname> -l <newname> && mv /home/<oldname> /home/<newname> (from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=64021)
[08:19] <billiard_junkee_> Meowpup, anything but #!/bin/bash
[08:19] <ZykoticK9> MarkGil, it certainly does, when you just run "./myscript" it calls the correct interpreter BASH
[08:19] <MarkGil> So I have to code a line to detect the interpreter and error if it's dash?
[08:19] <Meowpup> y is that
[08:20] <MarkGil> or not bash
[08:20] <billiard_junkee_> dunno, it just is
[08:20] <ZykoticK9> MarkGil, i guess so???  you might want to check with the #bash people
[08:20] <sybariten> i was recommended to use gdebi for a .deb file i am gonna DL
[08:20] <sybariten> this is a headless machine
[08:20] <Meowpup> billiard_junkee_: are you saying that all 9,04 baised distros are nolonger supported except #!
[08:20] <sybariten> when trying to install gdebi, it wants to get like 60 other packages....
[08:21] <liudvikas> Hello, maybe anyone knows how to set title in gnome-terminal with command line in opened terminal tab? thnx
[08:21] <billiard_junkee_> Meowpup, tha does not compute
[08:21] <jama> hello
[08:21] <Meowpup> well #! = chrunchbang linux
[08:21] <ZykoticK9> Meowpup, 9.04 is still supported!
[08:21] <Meowpup> y cant i sudo apt-get update then
[08:22] <Meowpup> its not just me having this problem today i seen a few others with it.

[08:27] <leo1> My question is regarding the audio issue I have with my HP Pavilion DV3510, which has Intel HDA IDT 92x, and all checks I already ran is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/325929/, I'm really wishing in having some special help !!! All the forums I looked really didn't help me.
[08:27] <agorist> mneptok - so flash 10.1 x64 beta is working ok. I'm seeing tearing on all flash video. Tearing is what I was hoping to get rid of. ;( but thanks anyway.
[08:29] <xmonad> hello
[08:29] <talsemgeest> Hi xmonad :)
[08:29] <xmonad> just testing :)
[08:30] <mattcen> Meowpup: Just as a point of interest regarding support periods, here's the release cycle graph: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/ubuntu/release-cycle
[08:30] <ZykoticK9> agorist, you might want to try flash in Opera, watching to Google Wave youtube was crappy in Firefox and Chromium, but much better with Opera -- just something to think about
[08:30] <sybariten> it seems as if gdebi requires a lot of X stuff, but it shouldnt be an X app AFAIK. Any ideas?
[08:30] <sybariten> I mean, any ideas how i could install it with apt-get
[08:31] <ZykoticK9> sybariten, gdebi is Gnome i think
[08:31] <sybariten> ZykoticK9: oh
[08:32] <tech-mike> agorist:  is 10.1 x64 or x32/86  ?
[08:32] <jlederman> has anyone played the game "alien arena" ? i'm trying run it, but i'm a noob to ubuntu. I extracted into the directory of my choice successfully, and now the readme is saying to "type ./crx in the shell to run the game..." but when I do that i get "no such file or directory"
[08:32] <ZykoticK9> sybariten, do install a deb you downloaded use "sudo dpkg -i FILENAME.deb"
[08:32] <jlederman> also, terminal is pointed towards the directory which I extracted the game to
[08:32] <talsemgeest> jlederman: You can install alienarena from the repositories, much easier than downloading it manually
[08:33] <sinan> hello everybody, anybody knows about the problem installing php5 on ubuntu 9.10?
[08:33] <Meowpup> mattcen: there wsi no standard release of ubuntu to.04 on that graff
[08:33] <sinan> i am getting lots of errors about dependencies
[08:33] <agorist> tech-mike - the version I just installed is 10.1 x64 (I'm also running ubuntu amd64 and firefox 64bit)
[08:33] <jlederman> talsemgeest: good point, i was just experimenting with doing it the old school way and wondering what was going wrong
[08:33] <agorist> ZykoticK9 - how do I install opera?
[08:33] <talsemgeest> sinan: Make sure your sources are up to date, and perhaps try a different server
[08:34] <ZykoticK9> agorist, enable the partner repository then "sudo apt-get install opera" or use synaptic
[08:34] <talsemgeest> jlederman: Does "ls" show up "crx"?
[08:34] <tech-mike> agorist:  same here i just didnt read anything saying 10.1 was x64 i saw a mention of x86...i am currently using the v10 pre-release released back in july - do u recommend using the 10.1
[08:34] <sinan> ok talsemgeest, thank you, that was what i did not check, probably the servers in turkey are a bit buggy
[08:34] <talsemgeest> sinan: Yeah, some servers do get a bit... off
[08:34] <alabd> how can we use java that is installed manually for firefox? means that .bin has been downloaded ...
[08:35] <miles95> alabd
[08:35] <miles95> go to the ubuntu software center and look for the flash plugins and then it will work
[08:35] <jlederman> talsemgeest, it does. "/usr/local/games/alienarena7_32$ ./crx
[08:35] <jlederman> ./crx: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[08:35] <jlederman> "
[08:36] <Meowpup> anyone knon how to fix ths error "sudo apt-get update
[08:36] <Meowpup> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (2 No such file or directory)
[08:36] <Meowpup> E: Unable to lock the list directory"
[08:36] <talsemgeest> jlederman: Take a look at the readme, make sure you have installed all the dependancies
[08:36] <ActionParsnip28> yo yo yo
[08:36] <mattcen> Meowpup: well apparently that file or directory doens't exist. perhaps create it?
[08:36] <jlederman> talsemgeest: will do thanks for the info
[08:36] <alabd> miles95: flash related to java ?
[08:36] <talsemgeest> jlederman: Happy to help :)

[08:37] <raj_> guys anyone experiencing the crickling noise on their laptop? and you have HDA card .. tell me i can help i just figured it out :)
[08:37] <raj_> crackling
[08:37] <azharcs> Hi guys, I am having some issues with my Acer Laptop wireless connection. Whenever i restart the computer, it works fine. but when it is idle, it disconnects and never reconnects unless again i restart
[08:37] <Meowpup> matis it a file or folder ?????
[08:37] <agorist> Zykotick9 - "Package opera is not available" after I enabled the partner repository ...?
[08:38] <ZykoticK9> agorist, did you "sudo apt-get update"?
[08:38] <azharcs> Does anyone know, how to turn PowerManagement off in iwconfig
[08:38] <agorist> tech-mike - It's in beta. I just started using it. Works fine except for the tearing which seems to be common on all flash playback. (I don't know if it's just my system or what)
[08:38] <ActionParsnip28> azharcs: when it disconnects run: dmesg | tail   websearch anything interesting
[08:38] <azharcs> will try it,
[08:39] <ActionParsnip28> azharcs: i don't think you can. iwconfig is for wifi only, not power
[08:39] <agorist> Zykotick9 -- still not available after running update ..?
[08:39] <Meowpup> mattcen: is it a file or folder ?????
[08:39] <tech-mike> agorist:  do we need to use the installer rather than just placing the .so in ./mozilla/plugins ?
[08:39] <azharcs> ActionParsnip28: yup but after reading some forum posts, it seems, after disabling power management, it stops disconnecting
[08:39] <ActionParsnip28> azharcs: you could try: man iwconfig    just incase
[08:40] <mattcen> Meowpup: I'm sorry to say I'm not sure; I'm not in ubuntu currently. Give me a couple of minutes and I'll boot my laptop and check.
[08:40] <azharcs> will try that and get back guys, power cut here. will come back and let u know if it worked
[08:40] <ZykoticK9> agorist, ? dunno man - it "should" be there
[08:40] <azharcs> Thanks :)
[08:40] <miles95> can any1 tell me wat u do with a server
[08:40] <agorist> tech-mike -- I don't know. I just put the .so in plugins and it worked. (I didn't have flash installed previously)
[08:40] <meder> for Jaunty - should I use postfix for a local SMTP server? if I try to install it there are issues and it wants me to install some exim mail package
[08:40] <agorist> tech-mike - worked after that.
[08:40] <ActionParsnip28> azharcs: maybe you need to disable acpi. you could just rmmod the driver, then modprobe it back in to restart the device
[08:41] <meder> what's a simple, preferred SMTP server that I should use for Jaunty basically?
[08:41] <ActionParsnip28> meder: there is no prefered server.
[08:41] <ZykoticK9> agorist, see for some alternatives https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser
[08:41] <meder> well
[08:41] <ActionParsnip28> sorry for double post
[08:41] <tech-mike> agorist:  me either - ive been using v10 which i just copied the .so to ./mozilla/plugins - but when i tried that with the 10.1 .so firefox didnt recognize it
[08:41] <meder> Can someone recommend a SMTP server
[08:41] <meder> is there a built-in one I can rely on?
[08:42] <ActionParsnip28> !smtpserver
[08:42] <ActionParsnip28> bah
[08:42] <meder> !smtp
[08:42] <mattcen> Meowpup: I usually use postfix myself; but it's really personal preference
[08:42] <sharpen047> hello all would someone mind helping me wiht sound? it keeps saying everying is "broken"i uninstalled pulse audio because it wasnt full duplex
[08:42] <agorist> tech-mike - So you didn't see any flashplugin in about:plugins
[08:42] <jlederman> this will probably be solved with a restart, but is there anyway to force a volume to unmount? I'm getting this error "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."
[08:42] <talsemgeest> miles95: Anything you like :) It depends what kind of server you want to run
[08:42] <meder> oh
[08:42] <meder> so I already have exim4
[08:42] <miles95> no like wat do they do like run programs or wat ?
[08:43] <agorist> Zykotick9 - I'm getting this: Package opera is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[08:43] <agorist> is only available from another source
[08:43] <talsemgeest> miles95: They are just normal computers, usually running software that "serves" other computers, like apache2 for webpages etc...
[08:43] <mattcen> Meowpup: OK so /var/lib/apt/lists/lock is a file that is empty by default, owned by root, primary group root, and permossions 640
[08:43] <Billiard> miles95: servers provide things for clients, we are all connected to an irc server, when you goto a website they are running a web server, is taht what you are asking?
[08:43] <ZykoticK9> agorist, see for some alternatives https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser
[08:43] <faderhval> Hey :) was wondering if someone could help me out i've just installed ubuntu 9.10 and for some reason im only getting sound from my sub... i've tried various things like going through the alsamixer and messing with pulseaudio etc. but i can't seem to get it wokring
[08:44] <Meowpup> mattcen: i created what was missing and it workes again
[08:44] <mattcen> Awesome. Can't imagine why that happened
[08:45] <sharpen047> faderhval, do you have surround sound?
[08:46] <faderhval> sharpen047, only a 2.1 stereo set
[08:46] <ActionParsnip28> faderhval: websearch for: ubuntu 5.1 sound   you'll find guides for telling the system t
[08:46] <agorist> Zykotick9 - DL'ing from Opera website
[08:46] <ActionParsnip28> faderhval: that you have more speakers
[08:46] <sharpen047> faderhval, it sounds like a speaker problem, there is only one jack for all three speakers, the system doesnt know its 2.1
[08:47] <faderhval> thanks both of you i'll do a bit more googling :)

[08:48] <nsgn> howdy. i'm trying to connect to an ad-hoc network using a script in 9.10. my issue is related to WEP
[08:48] <sinan> talsemgeest, i have a little question, i am still having the same trouble about apache&php5
[08:48] <talsemgeest> sinan: Hmm, ok
[08:48] <sinan> does anybody know what this means, dpkg: error processing libapache2-mod-php5 (--configure):
[08:48] <sinan>  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10
[08:48] <SingAlong> hi all
[08:48] <nsgn> if i use the line "sudo iwconfig eth1 key xxxxxxxx" i get "set failed...". if i exclude the line to put a key it creates an ad-hoc network that is broadcasted as being encrypted anyway
[08:48] <SingAlong> I followed the instructions here to upgrade from alternate CD http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading#Upgrading%20Using%20the%20Alternate%20CD/DVD
[08:49] <nsgn> what gives?
[08:49] <SingAlong> and I get an error with the mount command saying "specify file system"
[08:49] <TironN> #bitlbee
[08:49] <agorist> Zykotick9 - seems to have installed, but I can't find the program anywhere.
[08:49] <SingAlong> I followed the instructions here to upgrade from alternate CD http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading#Upgrading%20Using%20the%20Alternate%20CD/DVD and I get an error with the mount command saying "specify file system type"
[08:49] <sharpen047> can someone help me with sound?! please?
[08:50] <ZykoticK9> agorist, type opera in a terminal or alt+f2
[08:50] <Billiard> SingAlong: did you check the md5 of your iso?
[08:50] <SingAlong> Billiard: nope!
[08:50] <SingAlong> Billiard: how do i do that. I downloaded it directed from the torrents.
[08:50] <agorist> ZykoticK9 - I guess it didn't install bc it says it can't find it.
[08:50] <miles95> does any of the linux distros support touch screen ?
[08:51] <Billiard> SingAlong: it should be good from a torrent
[08:51] <SingAlong> miles95: yes ubuntu :)
[08:51] <agorist> Zykotick9 ran the install bash script.
[08:51] <miles95> rlly ?
[08:51] <ZykoticK9> agorist, bash script?  it should be a DEB!
[08:51] <Billiard> SingAlong: try adding    -t iso9660   to the mount command
[08:51] <miles95> will it work on a ps touch tablet
[08:51] <miles95> pc*
[08:52] <zetheroo1> this ppa is really bad ... extremely slow ... can anyone point me to another one with the same packages? http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu
[08:52] <SingAlong> Billiard: wrong fstype is the error now
[08:52] <Billiard> SingAlong: check the md5 i guess
[08:52] <Billiard> SingAlong: md5sum file.iso   i think
[08:52] <simplexi1> miles95: no knowledge, but i would quess that you can get it work, how easily is another question
[08:53] <agorist> ZykoticK9 - During a second install it got : User "USERNAME" does not have write access to /etc System wide configuration files
[08:53] <ZykoticK9> agorist, get the DEB!
[08:53] <Billiard> SingAlong: compare it to these http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/MD5SUMS
[08:53] <mattcen> SingAlong: You should be able to grab the MD5sum file from that url that Billiard just posted, and use md5sum -c MD5SUMS to check all sums in that file.  I didn't see the option for .deb package. sorry
[08:54] <mattcen> agorist: What are you trying to install? Opera?
[08:54] <SingAlong> Billiard: I got an md5sum starting with 183 and ending with 33c1. and it isnt listed on that page you directed me to.
[08:54] <sharpen047> jussi01, its removed....
[08:54] <ZykoticK9> agorist, are you getting the 64bit version?
[08:54] <agorist> mattcen - yeah
[08:55] <Billiard> SingAlong: bad download then, in your torrent client recheck, it should download the bad parts
[08:55] <agorist> Zykotick9 - yes, I have the 64bit .deb now installing
[08:55] <SingAlong> Billiard: oh
[08:55] <agorist> ZykoticK9 -- running opera now
[08:55] <talk2svj> can ne1 give me link for a good ip messenger for ubuntu??
[08:56] <SingAlong> Billiard: I used Transmission. Using the verify local data option to check the data now.
[08:56] <agorist> ZykoticK9 - should I let Opera install the Flash Player plugin or should I used the 10.1 x64 beta from Flash?
[08:56] <talk2svj> can ne1 give me link for a good ip messenger for ubuntu??
[08:56] <ZykoticK9> agorist, ? i just use the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" for my flash - whatever you want
[08:57] <Billiard> talk2svj: dont repeat youself so quickly
[08:57] <mattcen> talk2svj: ip messenger? Can you rephrase that?
[08:57] <iceroot> i am searching for something like kdialog (for gnome)
[08:57] <agorist> ZykoticK8 - I already have a flash .so file in .mozilla/plugins - but I don't know what opera is going to install. For all I know it will install a 32 bit version of flash 9 or something
[08:58] <raj_> GUYs if anyone is getting a crackling noise ona laptop on ubuntu 9.10 let me know i have a solution :)
[08:58] <talk2svj> mattcen: ip messenger is for transfering files on computers connected throug h a network , one can send and recieve files
[08:58] <ZykoticK9> agorist, i don't know either?  just try one way and if you don't like it, try the other way - your choice(s)
[08:58] <talsemgeest> raj_: I have it too, but no solution Im afraid :)
[08:59] <SingAlong> talsemgeest: raj said he has a solution :)
[08:59] <talsemgeest> Ah, I see...

[09:00] <talk2svj> do ne 1 use ip messenger?
[09:01] <mattcen> talk2svj: SFTP might do what you want; It does file transfer over SSH, which is encrypted
[09:01] <mattcen> I don't use it, but based on the description on its homepage, SFTP or SCP could work
[09:01] <aomegax> yesterday I have mounted my distro in live and I have done update-initramfs and apt-get upgrade, so I solved...but tomorrow I have again this problem and the solution of yesterday doesn't work
[09:01] <aomegax> please help me
[09:02] <talk2svj> mattcen: ty but i want an ip messenger just like windows...SFTP  is more complex
[09:02] <mattcen> What about a wrapper around SFTP? I think FileZilla works for it
[09:02] <agorist> ZykoticK9 - do you run 64 bit?
[09:02] <ZykoticK9> talk2svj, what is a windows example of an "ip messenger" program
[09:02] <agorist> ubuntu?
[09:03] <ZykoticK9> agorist, i run 64bit - my flash, don't know if it's 32 or 64
[09:03] <talk2svj> type ip messenger on google
[09:03] <mattcen> ZykoticK9: I assume that talk2svj is referring to http://www.ipmsg.org/index.html.en
[09:03] <ShazbotMcNasty> I was wondering if you could put multiple distros on one flash drive
[09:03] <talsemgeest> talk2svj: IP messenger has a gtk client
[09:03] <talk2svj> ya..but linux version is not working properly
[09:03] <agorist> ZykotcK9 - probably 32 bit w/ 64 bit wrapper or however it works.
[09:03] <ShazbotMcNasty> Or, if not - if I can make multiple partitions and put data on one partition and a distro with a boot flag on the other
[09:03] <mattcen> Heh, I didn't even notice there was a linux version of IP messenger; how silly of me
[09:04] <Mrokii> hello. Does anybody know an app that let's one lock the keyboard completely temporarily? For the purpose of cleaning the keyboard a little without the need to disconnect it.
[09:04] <ZykoticK9> talk2svj, there seems to be Unix (ie Linux) IP messengers on the site mattcen linked me too!  why not try those?
[09:04] <talk2svj> and if i run windows version using wine again tere r problems
[09:04] <agorist> ZykoticK9 - I'm just installing the extras now.
[09:04] <talk2svj> there r problems wid dem..
[09:04] <SingAlong> Billiard: I verified the torrent data and checked the md5sum again. Its still the same. (I had downloaded the torrent from the releases.ubuntu.com site)
[09:04] <dayo> USB flash drives change all permissions to 700. won't let me make it 755. even as root. how come?
[09:04] <talsemgeest> talk2svj: What problems?
[09:05] <ShazbotMcNasty> So, no one knows if I can put multiple linux distos on a single USB flash drive?
[09:05] <ZykoticK9> agorist, once it's done you can go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and verify you have the newest Flash installed - but it doesn't say 32/64 bit - i imagine it's 32

[09:09] <agorist> restricted extras flash installation is not cool. I can no longer click on anything flash in Firefox.
[09:09] <somename> I am going to have to setup a bootloader myself of course. So my question is, Where is the kernel? the default filename and path
[09:09] <ZykoticK9> feral, or avidemux if you'd like a gui
[09:09] <raj_> i found a solution for the crackling noise posted on forum. for all HDA card users here is the post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1335045 please comment and give me a feed back
[09:09] <mattcen> knoppies: Can you be more specific? What you've suggested as examples will filter out just the matches you'd expect..
[09:09] <feral> thanks a bunch
[09:09] <feral> :)
[09:09] <mattcen> knoppies: for everything else there's usually grep :P
[09:10] <knoppix> cool
[09:10] <knoppies> mattcen, I mean, to only display results that match whats inside the "" the * being a wildcard
[09:10] <talk2svj> talsemgeest:i've serached in synaptic its not there.
[09:10] <knoppix> i am looking for chat about linux
[09:10] <knoppies> mattcen, never heared of grep, let me have a look at it
[09:10] <talsemgeest> talk2svj: Then look at the rest of the thread :)
[09:10] <janisozaur> i'm looking for someone who doesn't have wine installed and uses firefox
[09:10] <mitsumi> hello everyone!!!
[09:10] <knoppies> !hi
[09:11] <mattcen> knoppies: Yes you should be able to use * as a wildcard with no issues
[09:11] <knoppies> mattcen, but whats the option to filter? Ive read both help and manpage but found nothing.
[09:11] <mattcen> knoppies: Ah I see your issue
[09:11] <Billiard> knoppies: dont put the * in quotes
[09:11] <mattcen> knoppies: Don't use the quotes you've got there; they're squashing the * in a wildcard
[09:12] <holyguyver> If I am on a system with both kde 3 & 4 apps on it, what do I put into the terminal to start the kde4 theme manager?
[09:12] <agorist> Maree - restricted extras flash does not work well on my system.
 try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1335045 i just posted it on the forums. it will solve it for all HDA cards. (laptops)
[09:12] <mattcen> knoppies: It's causing the * to be interepreted as a literal
[09:12] <knoppies> Billiard, mattcen ok, but that still doesnt solve my problem. Is there a way to filter the ls output?
[09:12] <talsemgeest> raj_: Ok, thanks :)
[09:12] <agorist> How do I uninstal restricted extras, or at least the flash plugin that it installs?
[09:12] <somename> On a default ubuntu install what is the filename and path to the kernel?
[09:12] <nickapalooza> so who here has never installed vista/win 7 to their machine?
[09:12] <mattcen> knoppies: howso?
[09:12] <Billiard> knoppies: what do you want filtered?
[09:13] <raj_> GUYS if you have a cracling noise on a laptop with 9,10 try this and tell me if it worked for you thank you :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1335045
[09:13] <Billiard> agorist: package manager, unisntall it like anything else
[09:13] <nickapalooza> Guys, if I do an install ubuntu inside windows (wubi install?) will it give me a boot loader showing all my current bootable windows partitions? i have 3
[09:13] <knoppies> mattcen, say I got 10 docs in a folder. And 4 of them end in *.txt
[09:13] <llutz> somename: /boot/vmlinuz....
[09:13] <Billiard> knoppies: ls *.txt   ?
[09:13] <talsemgeest> nickapalooza: Yes, it should
[09:13] <knoppies> mattcen, Billiard yes
[09:13] <ZykoticK9> agorist, "sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer"
[09:13] <nickapalooza> talsemgeest: how sure are you?
[09:13] <knoppies> Billiard, but that will try search the directory named *.txt
[09:14] <somename> thanks I remember now
[09:14] <om26er> !purge
[09:14] <janisozaur> i'm looking for someone who doesn't have wine installed and uses firefox, wine has overwritten one of the fonts that firefox uses and i have to pin down which one is it.
[09:14] <Billiard> knoppies: specify the directory as well
[09:14] <raj_>  GUYS if you have a crackling noise on a laptop with 9,10 try this and tell me if it worked for you thank you :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1335045
[09:14] <mattcen> knoppies: How about you PM me the output you're getting? It's quite hard to interpret what you mean
[09:14] <knoppies> Billiard, so ./*.txt
[09:15] <Billiard> knoppies: i would think it would work either way, but its going to look for directries first i think
[09:15] <aomegax> talsemgeest: do you know how to solve my problem?
[09:15] <nickapalooza> can anyone else answer my question?
[09:15] <llutz> knoppies: ls *.txt lists actual-directory
[09:15] <agorist> what is the difference between marking something for removal and "complete removal" in synaptic??
[09:15] <knoppies> mattcen, Billiard: ls:cannot access ./conky*: No such file or directory
[09:15] <mattcen> nickapalooza: I think I can. just let me re-read it properly
[09:16] <Billiard> knoppies: try the -d option
[09:16] <knoppies> llutz, I know, but is there a way to filter by *.txt
[09:16] <knoppies> Billiard, ok.
[09:16] <talsemgeest> Im afraid I dont aomegax
[09:16] <llutz> knoppies: ls *.txt
[09:16] <janisozaur> agorist: apt-get remove and apt-get purge respecitevly. man apt-get for what it does
[09:16] <aomegax> talsemgeest: thanks... :(
[09:16] <llutz> knoppies: man ls
[09:16] <knoppies> llutz, but that tries to search that directory. not files
[09:16] <llutz> knoppies: no it doesn't
[09:16] <knoppies> llutz, already looked. but thanks.
[09:16] <raj_>  GUYS if you have a crackling noise on a laptop with 9,10 try this and tell me if it worked for you thank you :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1335045
[09:16] <llutz> knoppies: it will give directories fitting that mask too
[09:17] <dayo> i can't change the permissions on my USB flash drive from 700 to 755, even as root
[09:17] <mattcen> nickapalooza: Yes I'm almost positive that it will show all windows partitions. It adds an extra option to your Windows boot loader and shouldn't clobber any of the existing ones.
[09:17] <Billiard> dayo: fat32 partitions dont have permissions
[09:17] <nickapalooza> mattcen: ok, thanks for your input.
[09:17] <mattcen> nickapalooza: If you're worried about that, perhaps you can try making a backup using something like easyBCD
[09:17] <llutz> dayo: use mount-options gid/uid/umask for vfat
[09:17] <dayo> Billiard: so what do i do? reformat as ext3?
[09:17] <Anorien> Hello. Could someone please tell me, what is the command to download something from the terminal?
[09:18] <janisozaur> Anorien: wget
[09:18] <dayo> llutz: ?
[09:18] <Anorien> janisozaur: ty
[09:18] <nickapalooza> mattcen: easyBCD broke my boot loader once, but it is some pretty nice software
[09:18] <knoppies> mattcen, Billiard, llutz: didnt work, same output: No such file or directory. Thanks, I gtg, I will look into this again another time.
[09:18] <nickapalooza> i think it was cuz i was tweaking with the software under two different bootable windows partitions
[09:18] <Billiard> knoppies: it works, but ok
[09:18] <llutz> knoppies: then there is no file *.txt
[09:18] <janisozaur> i'm looking for someone who doesn't have wine installed and uses firefox, wine has overwritten one of the fonts that firefox uses and i have to pin down which one is it.
[09:19] <llutz> knoppies: hidden file? use ls -a *.txt
[09:19] <knoppies> llutz, Im actually searching conky*
[09:19] <knoppies> llutz, that might be it. let me try that
[09:19] <llutz> knoppies: ls -la '*conky*'
[09:19] <knoppies> llutz, I just realised, I should be using the . in front.
[09:19] <Billiard> llutz: like i said you cant have the * in quotes
[09:19] <becks_> ce
[09:19] <knoppies> llutz, whats the l for?
[09:19] <janisozaur> knoppies: * wildcard doesn't expand to dot-files
[09:19] <llutz> knoppies: verbose output
[09:20] <mattcen> knoppies: To show a 'list' output (see the manpage).
[09:20] <knoppies> it works
[09:20] <knoppies> mattcen, llutz Billiard janisozaur Thank you guys.
[09:20] <Billiard> knoppies: np
[09:20] <faderhval> Anyone knows how to make a 2.1 sound system work in ubuntu 9.10 (one jack) can't find anything helpful on the web
[09:20] <mattcen> knoppies: I'm intrigued about your problem. You are looking for conky*, right?
[09:20] <mattcen> (I know you've solved it, but I'd appreciate it if you could explain how for my personal interest :P)
[09:21] <janisozaur> mattcen: i believe it is .conky*
[09:21] <kbp> I have a question: I installed server edition to get the server part. Now I want to install X, I have the Desktop CD here, can I use from that cd so I dont need to download 200MB from the internet via apt-get? Thanks
[09:21] <knoppies> mattcen, I have multiple conky configs in the home directory, all starting with .conkyrc* I forgot to add the . in the front. Thats what my problem was. (and the -a option for hidden files)
[09:21] <llutz> knoppies: ls -la '.conky*'   (sry typo)
[09:21] <janisozaur> kbp: you can use that cd, i think you chould read man apt-cdrom
[09:21] <mattcen> knoppies: Ah right, I see.
[09:21] <Billiard> llutz: you cant put the * in quotes
[09:22] <knoppies> llutz, I used ls -la ./.conky* and it worked
[09:22] <janisozaur> kbp: be warned that packages are outdated quickly
[09:22] <ZykoticK9> kbp, just as an FYI it's MUCH easier to install services onto desktop version, then install desktop onto server version.  just for next time.
[09:22] <kbp> janisozaur: thanks for your advice i will use it
[09:22] <llutz> right, too early for me, sry again

[09:23] <Billiard> raj_: dont spam that
[09:23] <kbp> ZykoticK9: it takes age to install apache,samba, ftp, cups... :) on desktop edition
[09:23] <Meowpup> hi where are the firefox files i need to import bookmarks into chrome
[09:23] <ZykoticK9> kbp, wait 'till you install Gnome/X onto server LOL
[09:24] <kbp> ZykoticK9: why? do i have to install a lot more after I install Gnome ?
[09:24] <janisozaur> Meowpup: ~/.mozilla
[09:24] <Billiard> Meowpup: im guessing ~/.mozilla
[09:24] <janisozaur> Meowpup: iirc firefox can export bookmarks to json/html
[09:24] <ZykoticK9> kbp, Gnome will bring down Xorg etc - but that's HUGE in compared to apache,samba,ftp,etc.
[09:24] <Josti_> Hello Anyone here that knows anything about touchscreens ?
[09:25] <wanghong> hello
[09:25] <vega-> Josti_: it's a screen that you can touch and things happen
[09:25] <Billiard> !anyone | Josti_
[09:25] <janisozaur> !anyone | Josti_
[09:25] <kbp> ZykoticK9: yea that's why I dont want to install it via repositories. I want to install it from the desktop cd. :)
[09:26] <Josti_> vega-: should I find that helpful ? :P
[09:26] <Billiard> Josti_: it is what you asked
[09:26] <mattcen> kbp: You can't use the Desktop CD as a repository as far as I know; you can do it with the *alternate* CD I think, but probably not the desktop
[09:26] <vega-> Josti_: then don't ask that kind of generic questions :P see ubottu's message
[09:27] <Guest11639> what
[09:27] <Josti_> vega-: yeah yeah I know :D.... ok my problem if that i've got a touchscreen on ubuntu karmic koala but I cant seem to calibrate it
[09:27] <zash> What debug symbols would you need to get a good compiz backtrace? Those attached to bugs #472060 and #316954 seems useless.
[09:27] <Josti_> vega-: it's an egalax touchscreen
[09:27] <janisozaur> mattcen: that would be most weird. if you insert desktop cd when you run desktop ubuntu, it'll pop up ask you if you want to use it as a software repo
[09:28] <vega-> Josti_: i have no experience with touchscreens whatsoever ..
[09:28] <Josti_> vega-: it's connected by USB
[09:28] <Josti_> vega-: ok
[09:28] <kbp> mattcen: someone told me to use apt-cdrom
[09:28] <mattcen> janisozaur: Really? I didn't realise. I'd doubt if it had *all* the files that are part of the desktop system. Let me check that out
[09:29] <kane77> what can I use if I want to "script" keypresses? in a game if I press one key I want to simulate keypresses of other keys
[09:30] <flagger> hey guys, i'm having a bit of trouble with my postfix server.
[09:30] <flagger> Situation is I have spam coming in, spamassassin tags them. Local procmailrc's do whatever they want with them. But our mailing list also points to people on   external servers, and we end up getting undelivered mail notifications because they block our spam. How do I get it to stop outgoing mail that has already been   tagged?
[09:30] <Meowpup> janisozaur: what do you mean how does it do that
[09:31] <mattcen> kbp, janisozaur: Here's my justification. The repository part of the CD is inside the '/pool' directory, which on the Ubuntu Desktop CD is only 8.5MB. So while there is a repository on there, it can't be the entire Desktop environment, because that's inside a Squash filesystem in '/casper/filesystem.squashfs',
[09:31] <kbp> mattcen: so why is the desktop CD 600MB? :P
[09:31] <ZykoticK9> kane77, i think the game you're playing would require a key-scripting feature for that to work -- because your game is going to be "in focus" you can't have keys being recognized by outside programs (for the most part).  This is why Push-To-Talk doesn't work in games for TeamSpeak on Ubuntu...  best of luck man.
[09:31] <janisozaur> mattcen: you could mount squashfs and use it then ;)
[09:32] <llutz> kbp: because the live-cd part needs that space (squashfs-image)
[09:32] <mattcen> kbp: Because it's a whole filesystem inside a 668Mb file, and not individual package files you can install
[09:32] <janisozaur> Meowpup: bookmarks > manage bookmarks > importing and backups (i'm using localized version, names may vary)
[09:32] <mattcen> janisozaur: You can't do that because they're not packages. Well you *could* but it'd be horrendously messy
[09:32] <kbp> llutz, janisozaur ok so the right thing to do is extract or mount that image and use it ?
[09:33] <llutz> kbp: you cannot
[09:33] <Meowpup> thanks janisozaur i found it done
[09:33] <kane77> ZykoticK9, ah :(
[09:33] <llutz> kbp: packages have to be in .deb format in a special directory-structure to be used as repo
[09:33] <mattcen> kbp: The right thing to do is either download the Alternate CD and use *that* as a reposotory, or install the Desktop version and add the server stuff in later on.
[09:34] <janisozaur> llutz: what's the structure in squashfs then?
[09:34] <mattcen> ... or download around 300MB of Gnome/KDE other apps for the server version :S
[09:34] <llutz> janisozaur: the live-system
[09:34] <egonw> terr
[09:34] <mattcen> janisozaur: It's the same thing you'd see if you did an ls / on your ubuntu system
[09:34] <llutz> janisozaur: compressed image of a working system
[09:34] <janisozaur> ahh...
[09:34] <mattcen> Which gets copied over during the install; it's an all or nothing deal
[09:35] <ZykoticK9> kbp, why do you want a GUI on your server anyways?
[09:36] <kbp> ZykoticK9: I wanna watch movies sometimes and it also runs 2 webcams are surveillance cameras
[09:36] <kbp> s/are/as
[09:36] <janisozaur> mattcen: that would explain why there is no package selection during ubuntu install
[09:37] <mattcen> Indeed
[09:37] <egonw> moin, does someone know how to get bash autocomplete working on jaunty 64bit? for 32 bit it worked for git, but not on my 64 bit install...
[09:37] <egonw> make that karmic...
[09:39] <sharpen047> does anyone know how to edit pulse audio settings?
[09:39] <tlm> i've just disabled gdm in karmic and found that an audio program (aplay, mpg123, etc.) can only output sound while its own virtual console is visible (or another virtual console owned by the same user); does anyone know how to change this behavior?
[09:39] <kbp> so finally does the Alternate CD contain sources/repositories or is it just an image?
[09:39] <mattcen> kbp: The alternate cd contains the actually packages (as part of its own small repository)
[09:39] <sharpen047> tlm, good luck thats the problem i have
[09:40] <kbp> mattcen: ok I'll download it now and try
[09:40] <sharpen047> tlm, ive been searching for days to no avail :( now my pulseaudio is gone and sitll having the same issue
[09:41] <tlm> sharpen047: i sympathise...
[09:41] <theadmin> Does GNOME have any "Restart X" thing like KDE? I'm aware of Alt+SysRq+K, but it's not GNOME's is it? I mean it can be dangerous right?
[09:41] <sharpen047> tlm, how long you going to be in here?
[09:42] <janisozaur> kbp: why would you rather download alternate cd than just apt-get packages?
[09:42] <surt> theadmin: Just 'k' or the whole 'rseiub'?
[09:42] <theadmin> surt: Uhm. Alt+SysRq+K. "Kill all applications in current virtual terminal"
[09:42] <tlm> sharpen: do you have any idea what kinds of keywords to search for to get information about this?
[09:42] <llutz> kbp: i'm not sure, but i guess even the alternate cd will contain some older packages, which have to be updated after installation. so you'll not save that much downloadtime
[09:43] <lee> I'm booted from the 9.10 livecd, gparted has been repartitioning for 16 hours now and hasn't completed stage 1 yet, is this normal??  it's only a 320GB raid5 array!
[09:43] <DJones> !dontzap | theadmin
[09:43] <janisozaur> kbp: be sure to also check the contents of alternate cd, as it might not contain the packages you want
[09:43] <kbp> janisozaur: repository servers are always !@#$ with the speed about 30KBps even though my internet connection is 1MBps
[09:43] <zash> What debug symbols would you need to get a good compiz backtrace? Those attached to bugs #472060 and #316954 seems useless.

[09:53] <aomegax> hi ... I need an help to solve initramfs problem...I don't know to solve it...
[09:53] <Billiard> theadmin: d just shows you that it is a directory, x on a directory will let you see permissions of the contents and cd into it
[09:54] <mokkan> theadmin,  nowhere i click on the panel gives me anything like that
[09:54] <mokkan> it's only settings for those specific applets
[09:54] <surt> Does xorg only log to /var/log/xorg.*.log? Or are there logs elsewhere?
[09:54] <theadmin> mokkan: Uh, click somewhere where there are no applets
[09:55] <mokkan> found a tiny little dot that you're apparently supposed to click
[09:56] <theadmin> mokkan: Well, i'm not really familiar with UNR, but on Ubuntu itself it's like that.
[09:56] <mokkan> ah
[09:57] <raik> is there program like "dvd maker" of windows in ubuntu, that creates a movie clip into different chapter and burns them with menus?
[09:57] <Billiard> raik: dvdauthor maybe
[09:58] <xsteadfastx> morning
[09:58] <drbobb> hmm seems evolution can't stand really long lists of addresses, have you ever tried to bcc an email to ~1000 recipients? it just hangs indefinitely, using 100% cpu time
[09:59] <theadmin> !hi | xsteadfastx
[10:00] <theadmin> drbobb: o_O 1000 recipents? %)... Well, you can try thunderbird, i think it has a Linux version
[10:01] <drbobb> theadmin: well what's wrong with 1000 recipients? command-line mailx can handle that just fine
[10:01] <crunchbang> j #crunchbang
[10:01] <drbobb> (and no I am not spamming, I have a legitimate reason to be doing this)
[10:02] <theadmin> drbobb: Well, it's just something you don't do everyday :D
[10:02] <cwillu_at_work> drbobb, may want to look into mailing software
[10:02] <drbobb> theadmin: maybe you don't ;)
[10:02] <cwillu_at_work> mailinglist software rather
[10:04] <greezmunkey> Is there a decent MySQL room here for newbies?
[10:04] <llutz> drbobb: why using one of those crappy gui-mailapps if mailx works?
[10:04] <nickapalooza> is there any good reason i shouldn't install 64-bit ubuntu? does it function as well as the 32-bit install?
[10:04] <drbobb> cwillu_at_work: you may have a point there, still I think it's a bug if evolution fails at that. there's no reason why it should fail
[10:05] <drbobb> llutz: yes there's one reason: mailx won't let me specify headers nor add attachments
[10:05] <Billiard> nickapalooza: i have no problems, and better performance with 64bit
[10:05] <Flannel> greezmunkey: #mysql, but I have no idea how newbie friendly they are.  You could also try #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:05] <cwillu_at_work> drbobb, not every app needs to support every use-case.  Yes, it's a bug, but nobody with the ability to fix it will care enough to actually fix it, because if you need to do that, you probably also need to do a bunch of other things that evolution (or any other gui mailer) doesn't have, and which mailing list packages do have
[10:05] <drbobb> llutz: (and evoution wasn't supposed to be crappy)
[10:05] <Drunkpunk> hey all anybody else having probs with screen resolution and Nvidia?
[10:06] <Billiard> Drunkpunk: what probs?
[10:06] <Drunkpunk> cant get above 800x600 res
[10:06] <Billiard> Drunkpunk: try manually setting it in the xorg.conf ?
[10:06] <cwillu_at_work> Drunkpunk, accelerated?  It sounds like you're in failsafe mode (i.e., vesa)
[10:06] <theadmin> o_O I can't get higher then 1280x800, but that's better then 800x600
[10:06] <Drunkpunk> tried, all the options are there but they dont have any effect
[10:06] <drbobb> cwillu_at_work: there's a reason I don't want to use a mailing list package: my recipient lists are not static, I pull them out of an ssql database every time
[10:06] <drbobb> sql that should be
[10:06] <Billiard> Drunkpunk: all what options are where?
[10:07] <Drunkpunk> all the different screen resolutions
[10:07] <cwillu_at_work> drbobb, um, that's exactly the sort of thing that evolution shouldn't have to support, and which any decent mailinglist package should handle perfectly well :p
[10:07] <llutz> drbobb: you can attach files to mailx, just uuencode them before and combine that with your message. might not be as comfortable as GUI but ...
[10:07] <Billiard> Drunkpunk: you put them in the xorg.conf and it didnt work? you try just specifing the one resolution you want?
[10:07] <drbobb> llutz: 99% recipients won't be able to handle such a message
[10:08] <llutz> drbobb: ok
[10:08] <Drunkpunk> as far as i remember
[10:08] <cwillu_at_work> Drunkpunk, please run "sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" and paste the url it gives you
[10:08] <Drunkpunk> i'm sorry very noob
[10:08] <theadmin> !info pastebinit
[10:08] <drbobb> llutz: I can but I've been using email for uhh 20ys?
[10:09] <llutz> drbobb: but as cwillu_at_work said, a ml-software might be better for your needs
[10:09] <dickinson> hi everyone
[10:09] <theadmin> !hi | dickinson
[10:09] <Drunkpunk> thanks v much, as soon as i've undone the last mistake i made using the 185 driver i'll post
[10:09] <drbobb> llutz: what would you suggest specifically, for a minimum of fuss?
[10:10] <dickinson>  theadmin: thanks) just saying hello)
[10:10] <llutz> drbobb: sorry i'm out of that things since ... ages, last thing i used had been mailman
[10:10] <azharcs> Hi guys, I am having some issues with my Acer Laptop wireless connection. Whenever i restart the computer, it works fine. but when it is idle, it disconnects and never reconnects unless again i restart
[10:11] <theadmin> azharcs: Had same issue with wired when i was on KDE.
[10:11] <azharcs> theadmin: so what did you do? to rectify it
[10:11] <dickinson>  azharcs: Seems it's not one-hardware problem
[10:12] <azharcs> theadmin: i tried dmesg | tail
[10:12] <theadmin> azharcs: I switched back to GNOME, XD. Actually, i've no idea what the hell, but you can try installing wicd network manager instead of default...
[10:13] <azharcs> theadmin: yup did that, i removed network-manager and installed wicd and still facing the same problem
[10:13] <cwillu_at_work> azharcs, first thing is to reinstall nm and uninstall wicd then, as nobody wants to support non-standard packages :p
[10:14] <theadmin> actually, gnome-network-manager rocks because it has VPN, Wireless, Wired, Mobile... All-in-one. Except dialup :D
[10:14] <theadmin> Well, gotta leave... Bye everyone.
[10:14] <azharcs> cwillu_at_work: wicd was recommened by someone on ubuntu forums
[10:14] <cwillu_at_work> azharcs, which is a good reason in itself to be suspicious of it
[10:15] <cwillu_at_work> seriously, I know people mean well, but ubuntuforums is generally a cesspool of system-breaking advice
[10:16] <azharcs> cwillu_at_work: oh...ok. I just ran dmesg | tail after connection got disconnected
[10:16] <cwillu_at_work> it's main use (for me at least) is as initial research to figure out what has an effect on a problem; only rarely as the final solution
[10:16] <azharcs> i get some weird error which says unable to reset channel
[10:16] <cwillu_at_work> azharcs, do you have pastebinit installed?
[10:17] <azharcs> cwillu_at_work: no, if u want i can post it in pastebin and give u a link
[10:17] <cwillu_at_work> azharcs, sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[10:17] <cwillu_at_work> makes it easier for me to rattle off commands for information :p
[10:18] <cwillu_at_work> and then lspci | pastebinit; lsmod | pastebinit
[10:18] <cwillu_at_work> and give me both links it gives back
[10:18] <Aeryal> alguien tiene idea de como sincronizar evolution y GCal?
[10:18] <azharcs> cwillu_at_work: sure, give me a moment :)
[10:18] <DJones> !es | Aeryal
[10:18] <diddy> I know this is not an Ubuntu question but does anybody know how to change the page format in Open Office Write? I already asked in #openoffice.org but nobody is able to help me there.
[10:19] <Aeryal> ok
[10:19] <cwillu_at_work> diddy, page format as in paper size and such?
[10:19] <drbobb> man this really sucks.. evolution has the ability to define lists of contacts, but you must add addresses to a list one by one - there is no way to add them efficiently in bulk afaics
[10:20] <llutz> drbobb: have fun adding your 1000 bccs :)
[10:20] <cwillu_at_work> diddy, if so, look under the Format menu, for Page
[10:21] <diddy> cwillu_at_work, already tried that. I changes the format for everything. I simply want to remove the header and margins from one single page so I can add a reference picture scan for my resume there.
[10:21] <agorist> For the record: for my machine (ubuntu 9.10 x64, Firefox 3.5.5) Adobe's Beta 10.1 x64 bit linux flash driver works the best
[10:21] <drbobb> llutz: for goodness sake even gmail can take a list of addresses in one gulp, why can't evolution??
[10:21] <cwillu_at_work> diddy, you can just drag the margins around
[10:22] <cwillu_at_work> diddy, I think you can also place an image directly anywhere without regard for the margins
[10:22] <diddy> cwillu_at_work, but I have to remove the header on that page and I can't figure out how.
[10:22] <diddy> cwillu_at_work, Already spent 2 hours on this.
[10:22] <azharcs> cwillu_at_work: http://pastebin.com/f645f49dc
[10:23] <zash> drbobb: perhaps you could look at some proper mailing list software?
[10:23] <cwillu_at_work> azharcs, one moment
[10:23] <jphillips86> Anyone willing to read a post about my switch from OSX to Ubuntu to see if I am representing Ubuntu correctly?
[10:23] <cwillu_at_work> diddy, I _think_ there's a thing called 'page styles' that will work
[10:23] <pirx> hi! does someone know how to avoid messing up the "history scrolling" (by using the arrow keys) in the prompts when changing color?
[10:23] <azharcs> cwillu_at_work: http://pastebin.com/f421254c7
[10:23] <pirx> when changin color of the prompt that is (PS1=blabla)
[10:23] <azharcs> cwillu_at_work: sure, take ur time
[10:23] <drbobb> zash: perhaps because my chore does not consist in maintaining a mailing list
[10:24] <diddy> cwillu_at_work, yes. I go to the page I want to edit, press F11 and then choose "page styles". But then what?
[10:24] <cwillu_at_work> diddy, pull up "Format | Styles and Formatting", and then click the fourth icon across the top
[10:24] <grawity> pirx: If it's bash, then all colour codes have to be wrapped between \[ and \]
[10:24] <cwillu_at_work> diddy, the header setting is local to that;  set a different style on the page you need to be different, and then change the setting
[10:24] <grawity> pirx: Such as \[\033[34m\]
[10:25] <cwillu_at_work> azharcs, looking now
[10:25] <GammaX> Ubuntu 9.10 does not auto sense my audio hardware when 9.04 did, is there a way to get 9.10 to sense it?
[10:25] <azharcs> cwillu_at_work: sure, Thanks :)
[10:25] <pirx> grawity: yes, and when i use that, it messes up when i try to scroll up in the cmd history with the arrow keys
[10:25] <grawity> pirx: Hm. What is your current PS1?
[10:25] <cwillu_at_work> azharcs, can you briefly repeat your symptoms for me?
[10:25] <dickinson> GammaX what do you mean doesn't autosense?
[10:26] <Drunkpunk1> just recovered from previous driver balls up
[10:26] <grawity> pirx: I have messed a lot with such things, and history seems to work fine here.
[10:26] <dickinson> GammaX: any errors or smth?
[10:26] <pirx> makes it very difficult to use the history at all
[10:26] <GammaX> dickinson:  It does install by default...
[10:26] <pirx> grawity: export PS1="\e[31;1m\u@\h:\w\$\e[0m "
[10:27] <dickinson>  GammaX: and? describe your problem more
[10:27] <azharcs> cwillu_at_work: i get connected to wireless internet, it works fine. but after sometime when there is no network activity, it gets disconnected and never reconnects unless i restart the computer

[10:28] <cwillu_at_work> azharcs, recent problem, or have you had issues with it for a while/
[10:28] <cwillu_at_work> ?

[10:28] <GammaX> dickinson: ....my question is more twoards why does 9.04 recognize my sound device and 9.10 does not. and how can I get it to do that.
[10:29] <Drunkpunk1> hey hey is the guy who was helping Drunkpunk with no "1" still here?
[10:29] <Drunkpunk1> you gave me something to run to help me with screen res?
[10:29] <baz> my cats breath smells like cat food
[10:30] <dickinson> GammaX: I had some trouble with sound too, just removed pulseaudio (that stuff makes me mad) and installed alsa-related packages and it seemed to work properly. Btw, what sound card do you have?
[10:30] <azharcs> cwillu_at_work:  brand new laptop
[10:30] <dickinson> GammaX: Realtek?
[10:30] <cwillu_at_work> azharcs, do you have the issue right now?
[10:30] <Enul> can anyone tell me how to install compiz fusion?
[10:30] <azharcs> cwillu_at_work: purchased it just last week, having problems since then. it works fine in Windows 7
[10:31] <GammaX> dickinson: intel I believe
[10:31] <azharcs> cwillu_at_work: yup just reinstalled network-manager after removing wicd
[10:31] <azharcs> cwillu_at_work: still facing the same problem
[10:31] <cwillu_at_work> azharcs, sorry, I mean, is your wireless broken at this moment?
[10:31] <dickinson> GammaX: and btw, how do you know that karmic doesn't recognize your audio card? any error or just no sound?
[10:31] <Drunkpunk1> enul: install compiz  from synaptic
[10:31] <azharcs> cwillu_at_work: yup, i am restarting the computer to do pastebinit etc
[10:31] <Enul> thanks
[10:32] <llutz> azharcs: "iwconfig" look for "power Management"
[10:32] <mokkan> plugging in my usb mouse seems to have disabled the touchpad on my netbook, unplugging it doesn't help... any ideas? Netbook Remix 9.10
[10:32] <GammaX> dickinson: no audio and its not listed under audio devices
[10:32] <azharcs> llutz: ya did that, it is turned on, i don't know how to turn it off
[10:33] <llutz> azharcs: "iwconfig ethX power off
[10:33] <Enul> Drunkpunk1 it says compiz is installed...how do i enable it please
[10:33] <dickinson> GammaX: well, try to switch to alsa and reboot, maybe that helps, though I'm not sure. Run gstreamer-properties and switch to alsa
[10:33] <azharcs> cwillu_at_work: http://pastebin.com/m43e7d3df
[10:33] <cwillu_at_work> diddy, get it sorted out?
[10:33] <huangxiaobo0810> 在哪能找到最新版的QQ
[10:33] <diddy> cwillu_at_work, I created a new style "FullPageImage" but I can not apply it to the page that the cursor is on currently. When I double click on the new style it will change all pages.
[10:33] <dickinson> GammaX: you will be able to revert changes the same way, so don't worry, it won't be worse
[10:33] <cwillu_at_work> azharcs, bug #378156 and #414560 seem to be related (the first one includes that error)
[10:34] <cwillu_at_work> diddy, one sec, I'll try to dupe it
[10:34] <Drunkpunk1> no probs with screen res until two days a go now cant set above 800x600, reinstalled driver, downgraded driver, reinstalled old driver all attempts to google the solution have failed any help much appreciated

[10:34] <diddy> cwillu_at_work, thx
[10:34] <GammaX> dickinson: alsa is configured as default

[10:35] <huangxiaobo0810> 谢谢了
[10:35] <Meowpup> diki like firefox to i use both
[10:35] <dickinson> GammaX: well that's strange - 9.10 has pulse audio as default
[10:35] <cwillu_at_work> azharcs, try installing linux-backports-modules-karmic and rebooting
[10:36] <GammaX> dickinson: even under alsa it says no device
[10:36] <sinan> Hi folks, i have a new problem about Apache, can anybody describe me why i get such an error installing php-mysql ?
[10:36] <sinan> php5-mysql: Depends: php5-common (= 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6) but 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6.1 is to be installed
[10:36] <cwillu_at_work> azharcs, beyond that, read through all (yes, all) the comments on those two bugs, there may be more information that I missed, and if there's ever a fix or good workaround, that's where you'll find it
[10:36] <azharcs> cwillu_at_work: apt-get install linux-backports-modules-karmic
[10:37] <dickinson> GammaX: then sorry, don't think I know what the problem is, stay with 9.04 for some time - it is still supported and 9.10 has not too many newer features
[10:37] <cybermuttaqin> Do you know ??? What the function about dig tools
[10:38] <cybermuttaqin> dig
[10:38] <GammaX> dickinson: anything worth switching to 9.10 for?

[10:39] <cybermuttaqin> wow thanks
[10:39] <dickinson> GammaX: I didn't see any major changes, you know, just good old ubuntu, the same as 9.04 with several major changes, for example, pidgin was substituted for another IM client
[10:39] <cybermuttaqin> i understand now
[10:39] <azharcs> llutz: it shows me an error
[10:39] <diddy> cwillu_at_work, thank you!
[10:39] <GammaX> dickinson: roger that, thanks!
[10:40] <llutz> azharcs: needs sudo btw
[10:40] <cwillu_at_work> diddy, don't thank me yet, I don't know that it works ;p
[10:40] <Enul> can anyone help me install a theme please
[10:40] <Marco1> hi everybody
[10:40] <mokkan> plugging in my usb mouse seems to have disabled the touchpad on my netbook, unplugging it doesn't help... any ideas? Netbook Remix 9.10
[10:40] <Drunkpunk1> any advice on configuring Nvidia from terminal?
[10:40] <azharcs> llutz: it shows me an error, with sudo. Operation not permitted
[10:40] <dickinson> Enul: did you download it?
[10:40] <Enul> yes
[10:40] <llutz> azharcs: driver-issue, sorry then
[10:41] <azharcs> llutz: oh...ok
[10:42] <dickinson> Enul: unzip it and open Preferences - Look and Feel (or smth like that). then when you see theme list there just drag and drop your downloaded theme there. You should be done then.
[10:42] <cwillu_at_work> diddy, got it, it works :p
[10:42] <cwillu_at_work> diddy, just not at all intuitive :p
[10:42] <azharcs> cwillu_at_work , llutz: thanks for trying to help. I hope the bug is resolved soon :)
[10:42] <diddy> cwillu_at_work, how?
[10:42] <Enul> does this work for compiz themes?
[10:42] <diddy> cwillu_at_work, that page also doesn't explain how to apply the new style to one single page.
[10:42] <Drunkpunk1> enul: sorry dont understand question
[10:43] <cwillu_at_work> diddy, set the style you want on the first page, and then in that style, under the Organizer tab, set "Next Style" to what you want the next page style to be
[10:43] <Marco1> i have a question/problem: I'm using ubuntu 9.10, vlc doesn't want to start from menu, when i click 2 windows open in the bar and then they close
[10:43] <Marco1> any idea?
[10:43] <cwillu_at_work> diddy, as far as I can tell, you can't just do a single page by clicking the style, you have to do it the way I just desribed :p
[10:43] <Enul> i downloaded a theme but i think i requires compiz-fusion
[10:43] <dickinson> Enul: don't remember, maybe no, you should install compiz and emerald or beryl and then you'll be able to install those themes, but i'm not sure about it
[10:44] <diddy> cwillu_at_work, I can't. I already have my resume fully written all I want to do is add a reference that I just scanned and add it to the last page.
[10:44] <cwillu_at_work> diddy, note that there's a "First Page" page style already which might do exactly what you need
[10:44] <aleksander_m> Marco1: Which theme do you have? Had similar problems with f-spot due to not using the default theme...
[10:44] <Enul> ok how do i install emerald?
[10:44] <cwillu_at_work> diddy, okay, so on the second last page, set "next style" to the style you want for the next page
[10:44] <Marco1> let me check aleksander
[10:44] <cwillu_at_work> it's unintuitive, not complicated :p
[10:44] <llutz> Marco1: start it from commandline and look for errors
[10:44] <dickinson> Enul: try sudo aptitude install emerald)
[10:45] <greezmunkey> diddy, it sounds pretty important to you, back it up :p
[10:45] <Enul> thanks
[10:45] <minusvirus> hello
[10:45] <diddy> cwillu_at_work, that is weird. Why do I have to define something like that on the page before the one I want to assign the style to?
[10:45] <Marco1> from command line works but the window is different
[10:45] <dickinson> Enul: you can also install a bunch of themes for emerald
[10:45] <Marco1> the theme is customized
[10:45] <diddy> greezmunkey, yes. Thx :)
[10:45] <cwillu_at_work> diddy, because nobody has ever accused the openoffice dev team of doing things the right way
[10:46] <Enul> alright :) thanks
[10:46] <Marco1> from command line vlc starts but I can do nothing
[10:46] <dickinson> Enul: but not sure there is a package in 9.04 and 9.10. Maybe you could fetch in from 8.04 or 8.10 repos
[10:46] <cellen> hi
[10:46] <dickinson> cellen: hi
[10:47] <diddy> cwillu_at_work, I am giving up
[10:47] <cellen> hello
[10:47] <cwillu_at_work> diddy, um, why?  I just told you exactly what you need to do
[10:48] <diddy> I will ask my colleague tomorrow. I think I can export it to MS Word and he is pretty good in MS Word.
[10:48] <Enul> hmm... i installed emerald but i still dont know how to install this theme
[10:48] <greezmunkey> cwillu_at_work, or it could be that they are already perilously close to patent infringement and other such things that they couldn't do it in the way that poeple consider "right". Besides, whoever said the MS way is the right way anyhow?
[10:48] <Meowpup> any one have a legal copy of windows 7 full release i can have for free
[10:49] <diddy> cwillu_at_work, yes I appreciate it. But I nearly spent 2.5 hours on this and I am not a computer newbie.
[10:49] <llutz> Meowpup: ask M$, stop trolling here
[10:49] <dickinson> Enul: run compiz, choose emerald in the preferences and search emerald or compiz preferences for further info
[10:49] <Meowpup> llutz: sorry ok i might just do that
[10:49] <diddy> I sort of understand now why MS Office is the market leader. :)
[10:49] <Dogmeat_> 'ello, is it possible to have two versions of some package (e.g. binutils) on same machine, then only use the older version for whatever-reason-there-might-be?
[10:49] <Enul> i'm new to linux.. how do i run compiz?
[10:50] <diddy> Even though I don't touch M$ stuff at home.
[10:50] <greezmunkey> diddy, they are because they were first, that's all.
[10:51] <Marco1> any idea on VLC?
[10:51] <gabri> ciao
[10:51] <gabri> c'è qualcuno???
[10:51] <drbobb> uh, the glipper panel applet is pretty much broken. Parcellite works a lot better
[10:51] <Marco1> ciao gabri
[10:51] <Marco1> italiano? ;-)
[10:51] <gabri> hoanzi sto provando a installare kubunto karmic...ma non mi va
[10:51] <gabri> allora ho pensato di uasre dal live
[10:51] <gabri> ma mi chiede user e psw...
[10:51] <llutz> !it | gabri
[10:51] <ZykoticK9> Enul, System / Preferences / Appearance - Visual Effects tab, can you set it to Normal or Extra?
[10:51] <greezmunkey> drbobb, any luck importing your email address data?
[10:52] <gabri> grazie
[10:52] <gabri> ok
[10:52] <dickinson> Enul: you should have installed compiz, compiz-fusion, fusion-icon, and some other packages  just run aptitude search compiz  and see what packages are there and install them. then run fusion-icon and you'll see a blue box with arrow near the clock on panel, right-click it and you'll see the preferences, search there
[10:52] <drbobb> greezmunkey: nope, evolution is just not up to the job
[10:52] <sinan> "apache2: Depends: apache2.2-common (= 2.2.12-1ubuntu2) but 2.2.12-1ubuntu2.1 is to be installed" ... anybody knows how to fix this?
[10:52] <cwillu_at_work> greezmunkey, words cannot express how inane your last comment to me was.  I know, I spent the last ten minutes trying to compose a reply :p
[10:52] <greezmunkey> drbobb, I can pastebin the csv format if you like
[10:52] <Enul> zykoticK9 its set to normal
[10:53] <ZykoticK9> Enul, can you set it to one of the other two options?
[10:53] <Juvo> sorry guys, ubuntu keeps asking me to sudo for everything
[10:53] <cwillu_at_work> suffice to say that I haven't use ms office in years, and as such am most definitely not accusing ooo of not being sufficiently msoffice-like
[10:53] <Enul> yes
[10:53] <Juvo> i.e. i'm trying to create a railsapp
[10:53] <Juvo> and its asking me to sudo for it
[10:53] <Juvo> even for git init
[10:53] <Juvo> whereas it didnt before
[10:53] <dickinson>  ZykoticK9: means acceleration is ok for him
[10:53] <jphillips86> if I need a python script to run at login, where is the best place to put it? (Not home folder if possible)
[10:53] <cwillu_at_work> Juvo, what folder are you in?
[10:53] <ZykoticK9> Enul, if Extra is working you should have wobbling windows, do you?
[10:53] <greezmunkey> cwillu_at_work, If I struck a nerve I am sorry, you must have some personal involvement.
[10:53] <Juvo> cwillu_at_work: i'm in ~/
[10:54] <Enul> yes i do
[10:54] <Juvo> cwillu_at_work: or home, rather
[10:54] <cwillu_at_work> Juvo, you can't write to /home directly, you don't own it
[10:54] <dickinson> Enul: did you see what i said to do?
[10:54] <cwillu_at_work> greezmunkey, I was thinking you had some, as a matter of fact :p
[10:54] <ZykoticK9> Enul, then you should install compizconfig-settings-manager and play to your hearts content ;)
[10:54] <grawity> cwillu_at_work: I think he meant his homwdir.
[10:54] <Enul> yes i did i'm doing it now thanks dickinson
[10:54] <grawity> cwillu_at_work: homedir* -- not /home
[10:55] <greezmunkey> cwillu_at_work, Nope, I'm with you in fact :)
[10:55] <Juvo> cwillu_at_work: but if i try and create an application, i.e. railsapp, it will not allow me to do so..I don't know why
[10:55] <dickinson> Enul: ok, just thought you might miss it, nevermind
[10:55] <cwillu_at_work> greezmunkey, judging from your voiced opinions, I doubt that :p
[10:55] <Juvo> it used to allow me before
[10:55] <Juvo> its also screwing with my ssh authentications in git
[10:55] <cwillu_at_work> Juvo, what's the exact path you're in right now
[10:55] <huangxiaobo0810> ylmf1.5在虚拟机里安装和在机器上安装怎么不同阿
[10:56] <Enul> how do i install the compizconfig-settins manager
[10:56] <Juvo> cwillu_at_work: could you tell me the cmd to check that?
[10:56] <cwillu_at_work> pwd
[10:56] <grawity> Juvo: pwd
[10:56] <Juvo> /home/user
[10:56] <cwillu_at_work> Juvo, what does "ls -ld ." say?
[10:57] <Juvo> drwxr-xr-x 62 root user 4096 2009-11-23 02:52 .
[10:57] <grawity> Juvo: Well your homedir is owned by root, for some strange reason.
[10:57] <cwillu_at_work> Juvo, root owns your home directory, you screwed up somewhere :p
[10:57] <Juvo> yeah i knew i did something wrong somewhere
[10:57] <grawity> Juvo: sudo chown -R user ~user/
[10:57] <Drunkpunk1> enul: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFqj2hS_0iQ
[10:58] <greezmunkey> cwillu_at_work, besides being off topic (which I started, my bad) I think a re-read would show only that I was offering a possible explination for the fact that OO does things the way that they do. I happen to be very impressed with it, and have een using it for quite a while.
[10:58] <Juvo> chown: cannot access `/home/raj/.gvfs': Permission denied
[10:58] <Enul> thanks
[10:58] <grawity> Ignore the .gvfs message.
[10:58] <Drunkpunk1> she's awesome
[10:58] <dickinson> Enul: this is a package called ccsm  or smth
[10:58] <grawity> !ccsm
[10:59] <Juvo> grawity: yeay it works thanks u
[10:59] <Juvo> cwillu_at_work: thanks u too amigo
[10:59] <Daremonai> is there a way to fix the screensaver kicking in while watching vlc in full-screen without having to disable the screensaver?

[11:01] <tvw> any idea, where I can disable the touchpad in 9.10? in preferences->mouse there are no options for this.
[11:01] <dickinson> Drunkpunk1: what's wrong with your screen res?
[11:01] <greezmunkey> Drunkpunk1, are you using a laptop, do you know what your display specs are by chance?
[11:01] <dickinson> Drunkpunk1: what video adapter do you have?
[11:02] <laptopandy> adio: Monodevelop comes well-recommended from my C# programming friends.
[11:02] <Drunkpunk1> i mean, it's screen res, it was working, it is no more and i'd have thought that 16+ hours would have been enough to solve it
[11:03] <greezmunkey> Drunkpunk1, what res are you at now?
[11:03] <Drunkpunk1> sorry guys not keeping up
[11:04] <Drunkpunk1> greezmunkey: i now at 800x600 and cant change it
[11:04] <Drunkpunk1> it a v bog standard OLD dell desktop
[11:04] <greezmunkey> Drunkpunk1, I thought I saaw something about Nvidia from you earlier, you using a nvidia card?
[11:04] <laptopandy> adio: A member of my LUG is actually a developer for the project, so check it out :)
[11:04] <Drunkpunk1> but tried two monitors and neither will cooperate
[11:05] <Drunkpunk1> uninstalled the drivers
[11:05] <Drunkpunk1> downgraded
[11:05] <Drunkpunk1> ballsed that up
[11:05] <drbobb> greezmunkey: not sure what you meant by "the csv format"?

[11:08] <Drunkpunk1> greezmunkey: at this stage anything would be much much appreciated
[11:08] <blooddiamond> Any suggestions for a good stock market software for Ubuntu?
[11:08] <greezmunkey> drbobb, ok
[11:08] <Juvo> blooddiamond: it's not worth it
[11:09] <drbobb> greezmunkey: it seems to max out at a few hundred recipients, and can't handle more than that per message
[11:09] <Juvo> blooddiamond: just start a company, you have better odds
[11:09] <greezmunkey> Drunkpunk1, here you go:  http://pastebin.com/f18c9e510
[11:09] <drbobb> greezmunkey: or maybe it would just take it most of a day at 100% cpu utilization, which is effectively equivalent to "can't"
[11:10] <greezmunkey> drbobb, pretty much :/
[11:11] <greezmunkey> Drunkpunk1, so you know, I have a Gforce440 or thereabouts in theis thing...

[11:44] <Meowpup> google is your friend ;). We truly appreciate when you go there first, and a lot of the time, your questions can be answered there faster than here, so just keep it in mind.
[11:44] <Meowpup> ^ not to be rude just a reminder
[11:44] <mynameistux> yeah I know, google solves all problems, but I'm stumped on what to search for

[11:57] <zash> pitseleh: duno if there's a way to make it ask for username
[11:57] <Drunkpunk1> greezmunkey: the short answer would be "no"
[11:57] <Leoneof`> softwares from DVD ubuntu 9.04 will work in Ubuntu 9.10 ?
[11:58] <ardchoille> Leoneof`: It's not a good thing to mix things like that
[11:58] <Drunkpunk1> so far i cant even copy to xconf cos i cant remember the sudo command
[11:58] <pitseleh> zash: thanks, i'll try that :)
[11:58] <Nalf> Is there a shortcut for running terminal?
[11:58] <greezmunkey> Drunkpunk1, how did you change it before you had the problem?
[11:58] <Leoneof`> ardchoille, why? i think they are just old versions :/
[11:58] <zash> Nalf: you can configure one
[11:59] <ardchoille> Nalf: you can set a kb shortcut if you want
[11:59] <xukun> anybody? I have no pcm sound anymore after crash. I have ac3 and dts sound thou
[11:59] <zash> Nalf: in system -> prefs > keyboard shortcuts
[11:59] <Nalf> Thank you. :)
[11:59] <ardchoille> Leoneof`: if it replaces a certain versionof a lib that another app needs
[11:59] <Leoneof`> :|
[11:59] <Drunkpunk1> Greezmunkey: just used Nvidia Config settings and then saved as sudo but i'm guggered if i remember how i saved it
[12:00] <greezmunkey> Drunkpunk1, guggered? Where are you (on the planet)?
[12:00] <ardchoille> Leoneof`: use the package manager, that way deps will be satisfied properly
[12:00] <Drunkpunk1> lol that would be a UK misspelling
[12:00] <greezmunkey> buggered
[12:00] <vadger> hi all
[12:01] <greezmunkey> or boogared
[12:01] <Leoneof`> ok..another question, if i want to upgrade ubuntu, that is mean i've to download new Ubuntu CD ? or just download new Linux kernel?
[12:01] <Nalf> I can install KDE and Gnomeon the same system, correct?
[12:01] <ardchoille> !upgrade | Leoneof`
[12:01] <ridzaq> yes
[12:01] <greezmunkey> now that's a misspell
[12:01] <Drunkpunk1> yh yh thats the one
[12:01] <ardchoille> Nalf: yes, and kde aps will work in gnome and vice-versa
[12:01] <Leoneof`> ardchoille: thanks ;)
[12:01] <Nalf> ardchoille: Thanks.
[12:01] <ardchoille> yw :)
[12:02] <greezmunkey> Drunkpunk1, so it should be about the middle of the day there then?
[12:02] <Drunkpunk1> it is indeed
[12:03] <Drunkpunk1> whereabouts in the workd are you?
[12:03] <ardchoille> !ot

[12:05] <Drunkpunk1> lovely country you got there mate
[12:05] <greezmunkey> Drunkpunk1, lucky guy, I guess :)
[12:05] <bazhang> Drunkpunk1, greezmunkey lets move this to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[12:05] <Drunkpunk1> sorry
[12:06] <fcuk112_> is there any way to use compiz grid on a laptop without keypad?
[12:06] <greezmunkey> Drunkpunk1, You know to ctrl+F1 and log in in case that .conf file has issues, right?
[12:06] <greezmunkey> bazhang, sorry man
[12:07] <Drunkpunk1> greezmunkey: i do now ;-)
[12:08] <Drunkpunk1> greezmunkey: sorry to take up your time with this but could you remind me how to save the new xorgconf?
[12:09] <Saeed> Hi there
[12:09] <greezmunkey> Drunkpunk1, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.cong.orig, then cp {the file you made from pastebin} /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:09] <greezmunkey> you may not need the sudo
[12:10] <Saeed> any body can help with installing XEN on kubuntu?
[12:10] <Duskao> hey guys, I just installed Xubuntu 9.10 and I can't find my second HD. it's an internal one.
[12:12] <coldserver> Anyone here have Kate installed? I need a small favor... need to send me the python.xml file inside "/usr/share/kde4/apps/katepart/syntax"
[12:12] <jussi01> coldserver: better off asking in #kubuntu
[12:13] <grawity> ...
[12:14] <kbp> I have a question. If I copy some downloaded packages (synaptic) from a 32-bit ubuntu. Can I use it on 64-bit ubuntu?
[12:15] <dstaubsauger> kbp: yes, but make sure that the 64-bit system has all neccessary 32-bit libraries installed
[12:15] <Fossilet> hello
[12:15] <Fossilet> I cannot see the Grub menu at boot time. Anyone can help me?
[12:16] <kbp> dstaubsauger: ok let me google the 32bit libraries
[12:16] <Fossilet> I am using Ubuntu 9.10.
[12:16] <dstaubsauger> kbp: just try to install the packages and see if it runs
[12:16] <greezmunkey> Drunkpunk1, you good?
[12:16] <qdb> call me with ekiga to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>it looks like does not work  here
[12:17] <Younder> Anyone here use Tot + polipo ?
[12:17] <Younder> Tor
[12:17] <dstaubsauger> kbp: if it does not or if the package manager complains about missing dependencies it will most likely tell you what's missing
[12:17] <kbp> dstaubsauger: I found an app named APTonCD and basically it copies the downloaded packages on one computer to the CD. That CD can be used by any other computer, but I'm not sure if it can work on cross-platform
[12:18] <Drunkpunk1> greezmunkey: not yet, bare with my slowness
[12:18] <christopher> I have a question. My 9.10 installation hangs at boot and i am seeing this error "/sbin/modprobe -b acpi:lnxvideo:' unexpected exit with status 0x0009". I cannot boot without acpi="off"/"ht". can anyone help with this?
[12:18] <dstaubsauger> kpb: why dont you just let the 64bit-machine's package manager get the packages automatically from the repos?
[12:19] <kbp> dstaubsauger: for example: ubuntu-restricted-extras ~ 130MB, with the server speed around 30KBps it takes an age :)
[12:20] <Younder> Christopher: seems the videodriver hangs. Try logging in in text mode
[12:20] <kupsekretki> hi all!
[12:21] <besserdich> Hallo
[12:21] <amarillion> The installer for the server edition doesn't let me add partitions. Is this a bug?
[12:21] <dstaubsauger> kbp: just try it, you cant do anything wron besides wasting a cd
[12:21] <christopher> Younder: eventually it drops me to the command line after about 5 minutes but i can't start gdm after i've installed nvidia drivers.
[12:22] <kbp> dstaubsauger: I just worry that it's ok to install but after that it messes up the system...
[12:23] <Leoneof`> another question, Debian's softwares will work under Ubuntu? and vice versa?
[12:23] <Drunkpunk1> greezmunkey: cant find type the file location properly even though it just on mydesktop
[12:24] <dstaubsauger> kbp: if anything goes wrong, just uninstall the packages. it should not break too much (make a backup of your data if you want to be sure not to lose anything, you should do that anyway)
[12:24] <Younder> christopher, You can make do without nvidea drivers, althoght that will limit the graphics. As a workaround to, just get things running, that is what  would do
[12:25] <christopher>  Younder: ok. I think i may have to go back to 9.04. Had to do a bit of modification but things worked better there. Thanks
[12:26] <christopher> can't live without my graphics :)
[12:26] <Younder> christopher, a lot of thins worked better there
[12:29] <Younder> I found out why rythmbox and totem don't work. Seems I have multiiple versions of Python istalled and these programs don't spesify which ones to use. pygdt is not installed in the version they use.
[12:30] <moparirc_jfw0r> Hello
[12:30] <xpo0f> hi people
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> Jello!
[12:30] <marijuana> guys, what is the best program like VB, in ubuntu?
[12:30] <moparirc_jfw0r> How do I compile a bunch of Java files all at onces?
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> !info gambas
[12:31] <ahtmly2k> does anybody know if there's a universal sound equalizer for ubuntu..? and individual window/program volume controler in the default volume controller area like the one in vista? i found those two tools useful.. can anybody help me out? does such a tool exists for ubuntu?
[12:31] <moparirc_jfw0r> in one directory
[12:31] <xpo0f> gambas is vb like
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> marijuana:  thers one with a name similer to gambas i recall..
[12:31] <minimars> hello, where can i get some help with grub?
[12:31] <Younder> automake misses a few variables for automake and that has a cascading effect into these apps
[12:31] <xpo0f> crack vs marijuana
[12:31] <xpo0f> hehe
[12:31] <Drunkpunk1> greezmunkey: thanks for the help
[12:32] <xpo0f> smoking weed and play around wit ubuntu ...
[12:32] <marijuana> oh gambas... i think i saw this app in ubuntu software center
[12:32] <elky> marijuana, xpo0f this is not a channel for drug references. please take them elsewhere
[12:32] <marijuana> thank you Dr_Willis
[12:32] <ironfoot4951> Hi I have a problem I extracted files off of windows xp pro and reformatted the drive now I want to put them back but it say's I don't have permisions to the content. I sure could use some major help fixing this one!!
[12:32] <moparirc_jfw0r> I want to know, How do I compile a bunch of .java files in a directory on Ubuntu Server.
[12:33] <xpo0f> elky, just a joke... i am hard fan of ubuntu
[12:33] <VCoolio> I changed login managers and now there is no ~/.Xauthority file, so I can't gksu anything. Ideas?
[12:33] <Younder> ironfoot495, use sudo
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> VCoolio:  what login manager are you using?
[12:33] <elky> xpo0f, then you should be equally a fan of our guidelines. /msg ubottu guidelines for more information.
[12:33] <moparirc_jfw0r> can anyone help me? lol
[12:34] <VCoolio> Dr_Willis: entrance (e17) instead of gdm
[12:34] <Renaud> hello all
[12:34] <xpo0f> VCoolio, set in how about your setting in X11
[12:34] <marijuana> ok now i install gambas, but what is program like microsoft project?
[12:34] <Renaud> bye
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> VCoolio:  Im not sure that issue is related to the login manager.   But its been ages sinnce ive had to last mess with a .Xauthority
[12:34] <jmary_> ironfoot495, First you should have made an tar.gz archive of your windows install.
[12:34] <Younder> moparirc_jfw0r, I don't know using ant. Or in an environment like eclipse
[12:35] <moparirc_jfw0r> I am not sure
[12:35] <jmary_> Then you must be root or sudo probably to write there.
[12:35] <Younder> moparirc_jfw0r, I don't know. Using ant.. Or in an environment like eclipse
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> marijuana:  you may want to google for 'linux windows equilivents' - ive no idea whata MS project does.
[12:35] <jmary_> The Terminal is your friend here.
[12:35] <VCoolio> xpo0f: what do you mean? where do I look?
[12:35] <xpo0f> elky, sure .. thatks
[12:35] <moparirc_jfw0r> It is a VPS, if that helps any
[12:35] <kom14> ek
[12:35] <Drunkpunk1> anybody offer any help with screen resolution being stuck at 800x600?
[12:36] <kom14> hyiu
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> VCoolio:  i dont even have a .Xauthority here
[12:36] <kom14> fdhji
[12:36] <xpo0f> default-windows-manager in /etc/X11/ directory
[12:36] <xpo0f> maybe dpkg-reconfigure xcommon-xorg
[12:36] <moparirc_jfw0r> I just done want to have to install the java files to my computer, then compile them, then reupload them
[12:36] <VCoolio> Dr_Willis: I also missed the file in karmic, maybe also jaunty; had it before though; maybe entrance didn't keep up with developments
[12:36] <marijuana> thanks Dr_Willis , gambas work perfectly to me
[12:37] <Drunkpunk1> tried reinstalling drivers, replacing xconf, two clean insatlss, the whole nine yards
[12:37] <Younder> moparirc_jfw0r, VPS is a hosting service. not relevant
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> I marijuana  in the 30 seconds you have used it.. it works perfectly.. :)
[12:37] <moparirc_jfw0r> I know that
[12:37] <rednammoc> hi guys. i have a strange problem setting up virtualbox. when i start "etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" it tells me that it cannot find kernel-source "2.6.24-25". i also installed "linux source" cause i thought that will solve the problem. has anybody an idea whats going on or how to solve this problem ?
[12:38] <boscop> my ubuntu karmic takes 50 seconds to boot from grub menu till login window and another 20 from login to desktop. this seems to be slow. how can I make it faster? I already did 'profile' in the boot options for one time
[12:38] <marijuana> Dr_Willis: I mean, i install & open that program successfully... no error :)
[12:39] <flippo> marijuana, http://openproj.org/
[12:39] <ZaNeIuM> is there an automatic way to run a program when my computer comes out of sleep
[12:39] <Younder> boscop, Well It's all down to what deamonds you are starting. Have you added many?
[12:39] <xpo0f> meaning ?
[12:40] <boscop> Younder: only dhclient and synergys
[12:40] <marijuana> i am happy with linux, so i dont want change to windoz because of my project.. that why i try with gambas, it look very good
[12:40] <Glowball> I was just wondering: is there some "GNOME version of KWin", so some cool compositing manager, which is more stable than Compiz (and compatibility with Maple would be handy too, Compiz is not...)
[12:42] <Younder> boscop, Well the normal advice here is to remove all services you don't use. The defragment the boot sequence (If you had enough clearsight to put the OS in a seperate partion)
[12:42] <Younder> boscop, just defragment that partion
[12:42] <xpo0f> im always wit fluxbox .. really light
[12:43] <LjL> Younder: how?
[12:43] <Drunkpunk1> just wondering, how to get ubuntu to recognise my display - thinking this may be why i cant change from 800x600 screen res?
[12:43] <elky> marijuana, please look at the PM i sent you.
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> Glowball:  metacity i think has some basic compositing features
[12:44] <VCoolio> Glowball: there's only xcompmgr; it doesn't get cooler than compiz
[12:44] <xpo0f> Drunkpunk1, do your dpkg-reconfigure xcommon-xorg for display setting
[12:44] <giovani360> How can I download  canon MPX330 printer drivers?
[12:44] <boscop> Younder: it's all one one partition which is 99% full. how do I defragment it?
[12:44] <boscop> fdisk?
[12:45] <rednammoc> hi guys. i have a strange problem setting up virtualbox. when i start "etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" it tells me that it cannot find kernel-source "2.6.24-25". i also installed "linux source" cause i thought that will solve the problem. has anybody an idea whats going on or how to solve this problem ?
[12:45] <xpo0f> defragment ?
[12:45] <Drunkpunk1> xpo0f: cheers mate, wasnt sure that one was for me
[12:45] <Glowball> Dr_Willis: Well, yes, I know it does compositing, true. But there aren't any cool effects to impress Windows users (;D) and it doesn't work 100% with AWN (which I use on GNOME)
[12:46] <sergeykish> Hello, I need bash completion for my tool. It must complete path from diretory file. The file (lets call it .available) is a list of tags `a, b, c`.  Do you know simular completion?
[12:46] <sergeykish> Or program with simular completion
[12:46] <Younder> boscop, It is better to forget defragmenting as it is probaly not the problem
[12:46] <Drunkpunk1> xpo0f: apparently "xcommon-xorg is not installed"
[12:47] <xpo0f> Drunkpunk1, u run on init 5 or init 3
[12:47] <Younder> boscop, It takes years of use on a full disk. Do you have a near full disk?
[12:47] <Drunkpunk1> sorry to be a total noob but not sure
[12:48] <boscop> Younder: yes. yesterday it was 100% full, I had to delete stuff
[12:48] <xpo0f> boscop, do u have quota for that ?
[12:49] <gwadeloop> hello good morning
[12:49] <Younder> boscop, ok run fsck
[12:49] <xpo0f> gwadeloop, night here
[12:49] <ahtmly2k> does anybody know if there's a universal sound equalizer for ubuntu..? and individual window/program volume controler in the default volume controller area like the one in vista? i found those two tools useful.. can anybody help me out? does such a tool exists for ubuntu?
[12:49] <Crumbles> does anyone know anything about DD ?
[12:50] <boscop> Younder: it says: Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause
[12:50] <GilJ> Anyone familiar with the Rhythmbox command line options?
[12:50] <Drunkpunk1> xpo00f: do i have to enable a certain repo to get xcommon?
[12:50] <xpo0f> ahtmly2k, look for alsaconf
[12:50] <boscop> SEVERE filesystem damage.
[12:50] <LjL> !anyone | Crumbles
[12:50] <boscop> should I do it anyway?
[12:50] <gwadeloop> this morning Ubuntu decided to welcome me with a special gift I can only start it "in gnome failsafe mode"
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> Crumbles:  if you mean 'dd' ask the actual question and see who knows what.
[12:50] <Crumbles> ahhaha
[12:50] <Crumbles> ok
[12:50] <xpo0f> Drunkpunk1, apt-get install xcommon-xorg
[12:50] <Crumbles> well
[12:50] <Crumbles> I am trying to clear a drive
[12:50] <Crumbles> so
[12:50] <Crumbles> I am running the command
[12:50] <Crumbles> sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdc
[12:50] <FloodBot1> Crumbles: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:51] <LjL> boscop: no. not with the partition mounted.
[12:51] <gwadeloop> I assume that this is due to a regression in one of the update but I have no idea how to revert to my previous stable configuration
[12:51] <Crumbles> will that wipe the drive?
[12:51] <xpo0f> boscop, run on safemode to do that
[12:51] <Enul> anyone know a good sidebar for ubuntu?
[12:51] <Younder> boscop, It should run at startup
[12:51] <LjL> Crumbles: why don't you use a tool made for the purpose, such as "wipe" or "shred"?
[12:52] <Drunkpunk1> xpo0f: "E: Couldn't find package xcommon-xorg"
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> Crumbles:  using urandom is over kill. and dont forget a 'bs=' option. or it will take 3x as long.
[12:52] <xpo0f> Drunkpunk1, do u run X ?
[12:52] <Younder> boscop, Anyhow there's your problem. Files are getting fragment because you have too lilttle space. Try to remove some of the stuff you don't need.
[12:52] <boscop> xpo0f: recovery mode?
[12:52] <xpo0f> boscop, yes.
[12:53] <LjL> Dr_Willis: why overkill?
[12:53] <Drunkpunk1> i'm just using a fresh install, been using ubuntu about, what 2 wks
[12:53] <boscop> xpo0f: and then? should I login normally or on the terminal?
[12:53] <Drunkpunk1> first time on IRC l;ast nite
[12:54] <xpo0f> boscop, yeah... recovery mode is on runlevel 2, after all finish.. you con continue to init 5 or init 3
[12:54] <Drunkpunk1> the drivers i'm using are nvidia ones
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> LjL:  whats to gain? vs /dev/random or just /dev/zero  he just wants to 'clear a drive'
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> LjL:  or for that matter.. just deleteing the partitons/reformating :)
[12:55] <xpo0f> Drunkpunk1, wrong commang... dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:55] <xpo0f> :(
[12:55] <Crumbles> Dr_Willis: bs= optiokn?
[12:55] <LjL> Dr_Willis: vs /dev/random, /dev/random will be *exceedingly* slower. vs /dev/zero, zeroing gives a *much* lower level of security
[12:55] <xpo0f> LjL, agree
[12:55] <Crumbles> Dr_Willis: bs= option ?
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> LjL:  he dident say it was to be secure. :)
[12:55] <LjL> Dr_Willis: i assume that he's trying to erase the drive securely, or he wouldn't bother erasing it in the first place.
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> Crumbles:  yes. dd has a bs option.  use it.
[12:56] <boscop> xpo0f: so login on terminal, then fsck and then init 5?
[12:56] <Crumbles> right, trying to do it securly
[12:56] <Crumbles> what does BS do ?
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> LjL:  ive seen people do weirder things. :)
[12:56] <Drunkpunk1> xpo0f: just did and it returned straight to a new blank line
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> Crumbles:  sets the default blocksize. will improve speed
