[00:00] <starn> ActionParsnip: didn't you help suggest hd space to me yesterday?
[00:00] <DaveIngram> Hey, I'm installing Ubuntu Server 10.04 of a new Dell server and when I got to "Wiping swap space for security", the installer is hung at 21% progress for about an hour. Does anyone know if it's safe to reboot at this stage?
[00:01] <magicianlord> how do you shut down the xserver in 10.10 to install the nvidia driver?
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> starn: possibly
[00:01] <Sir_Konrad> Ok, so I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my machine, and I'd like to install KDE. Is there any way to install KDE3 from a Kubuntu 10.04 (KDE3 Respin) CD?
[00:02] <Draqul> !kubuntu | Sir_Konrad
[00:02] <starn> ActionParsnip: i think you did and thanks again gonna try this player. hope its low resource and everything. i'm glade to be getting my comp back up and running after hd got wiped due to power outage
[00:02] <magicianlord> I ran 10.04 live on a laptop with a chrome via chipset, and the resolution is set at 1600x1200 and cannot be changed without garbling the image. is there a fix to this?
[00:02] <Sir_Konrad> Draqul, that wouldn't be an Ubuntu question?
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> starn: its very low resource, its in a ppa and not in the repos
[00:02] <Sir_Konrad> I'm installing from Ubuntu. :P
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> starn: if power outages are common then I recommend a UPS
[00:03] <Draqul> Sir_Konrad: Ubuntu uses Gnome. Kubuntu uses KDE. For all KDE/Kubuntu questions you will find the fastest, most comprehensive help in #Kubuntu
[00:03] <magicianlord> yeah
[00:03] <magicianlord> or you will find ubuntu even faster if you install openbox instead
[00:04] <Sir_Konrad> ok, thanks Draqul. :)
[00:04] <Draqul> Sir_Konrad: you're just looking to install KDE in UBuntu?
[00:04] <Draqul> magicianlord: it
[00:04] <blackshirt> :hello
[00:04] <Draqul> magicianlord: it's even faster if you run openbox alone, like I am doing
[00:04] <Sir_Konrad> Draqul, specifically KDE3, but yes.
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> Sir_Konrad: if you can find a ppa with it on then you can
[00:05] <obengdako> StarCraft_II, okay okay
[00:05] <StarCraft_II> I'll just use betavine
[00:05] <magicianlord> Draqul: dats what i do
[00:05] <Sir_Konrad> ActionParsnip, right but I have a slow connection and I have a Kubuntu CD. I want to install it off of the CD>
[00:05] <magicianlord> brb
[00:05] <Draqul> Sir_Konrad: Sir_Konrad one moment while I look for you. I do not know if KDE3 has any working packages still in the repos...
[00:06] <obengdako> StarCraft_II, next suggestion sometimes when i have mobile broadband i have to check enable broadband to disable it in network manager to get it to work i don't kow why
[00:06] <starn> ActionParsnip: ups? whats that when i see ups i see united postal service...
[00:06] <Sir_Konrad> Draqul, it does, but how do I install from a CD?
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> starn: uninterruptable power suply
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> *supply
[00:07] <Draqul> Sir_Konrad: from a CD? You'll need a Kubuntu.iso to install kde from a livecd.
[00:07] <Sir_Konrad> Draqul, no possible way to get the .deb packages from it and install it onto a Ubuntu install?
[00:07] <Draqul> Sir_Konrad: and yes, I can see here that there are still working trinity packages, though there are some reports of breakage for k3d and kdelibs.
[00:07] <starn> ActionParsnip: i've been thinking bout getting one. don't have the money right now though thanks for the suggestion though. i have so many notes from suggestions like that. <3 the ubuntu comunity its super helpful
[00:07] <obengdako> StarCraft_II, you there? i said check enable mobile broadband by right clicking networ manager then disable it and if your connectio is still available select it this happens to me a lot these days
[00:08] <Draqul> Sir_Konrad: get the KDE packages off an Ubuntu cd, you mean?
[00:08] <Sir_Konrad> Draqul, right.
[00:09] <Draqul> Sir_Konrad: no, because there are no KDE packages on an Ubuntu livecd. Ubuntu only ships with GNOME.
[00:09] <Sir_Konrad> Draqul, is that possible or am I dreaming?
[00:09] <saulus> hey, where are the gnome-panel->applications->wine entries? I need to delete shortcuts to nonexisting software.
[00:09] <Sir_Konrad> Draqul, can I get the KDE packages from a Kubuntu CD?
[00:10] <Draqul> Sir_Konrad: yes, you can.
[00:10] <Sir_Konrad> Draqul, and then install them on Ubuntu?
[00:10] <Draqul> Sir_Konrad: Yes, I believe you can. You will need to ask someone else the precise procedure, but I believe it is possible.
[00:11] <Sir_Konrad> Any help peoples?
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> Sir_Konrad: if you add the cd as a repo then yes
[00:11] <Sir_Konrad> ActionParsnip, how would you do that?
[00:11] <blackshirt> yes,
[00:11] <Sir_Konrad> I can't find the .deb files on the CD.
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> Sir_Konrad: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[00:11] <Diamondcite> Sir_Konrad: I might be off topic.. but can't you get them from ubuntu directly? Is there a reason to need the CD?
[00:12] <blackshirt> you can install it
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> Sir_Konrad: you dont find the debs, you add the CD and the OS sorts them out for you
[00:12] <Sir_Konrad> Diamondcite, slow internet connection. 250MB bandwidth.
[00:12] <obengdako> Sir_Konrad, it is possible if you have the alternative cd but the regular cd does not really have the packages just a pre pressed file system with the packages already installed /configured to run so get yourself the alternative cd or download them
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> Sir_Konrad: alternatively: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Lucid
[00:12] <Sir_Konrad> obengdako, so I need to get the alternative CD?
[00:13] <obengdako> yep or just download at least to my knowledge anyone correct me if i'm wrong Sir_Konrad
[00:14] <Sir_Konrad> obengdako, hmm... doesn't seem there's a KDE3 Alternative CD.
[00:14] <blackshirt> Sir_Konrad: what your system installed and the cd you have ??
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> Sir_Konrad: the PPA link I gave is much easier
[00:14] <Fuser> Hi i've a problem with thunderbird, i've an archive backup of thunderbird created with mozbackup but in ubuntu mozbackup dont work, how can i do to import backup ton thunderbird?
[00:14] <Sir_Konrad> To heck with it, I'll just get KDE4
[00:15] <blakkheim> Sir_Konrad: or debian
[00:15] <Sir_Konrad> ActionParsnip, right, but I would have to download it and I don't have the bandwidth.
[00:15] <Sir_Konrad> blakkheim, I could but Ubuntu was hard enough to install on this Mac. :P
[00:15] <blakkheim> hard?
[00:16] <Sir_Konrad> blakkheim, yeah it's hard to install on a Mac.
[00:16] <obengdako> Sir_Konrad, the dvd installs have lots of packages on them but anyway "to heck with it"
[00:16] <blakkheim> Sir_Konrad: how so?
[00:16] <sefo40> HI. Can I install ubuntu on EYO netbook with arm architecture?
[00:16] <sefo40> by pendrive
[00:17] <Sir_Konrad> blakkheim, I have to have 10MB between each drive or it overlaps, have to install a custom firmware hack, driver issues, etc.
[00:17] <galadude> i updated the drivers, but it still doesn't work
[00:17] <blakkheim> Sir_Konrad: i've installed linux on my mac very easily with none of those problems
[00:17] <Sir_Konrad> obengdako, yeah, I guess I should just give up the nostalgia of KDE3
[00:17] <Sir_Konrad> blakkheim, MacBookPro 5,5?
[00:17] <blakkheim> Sir_Konrad: the latest macbook pro with i5 and 330m
[00:18] <Sir_Konrad> blakkheim, Hmm... Strange. :\
[00:18] <Sir_Konrad> blakkheim, how does the trackpad work for you?
[00:18] <obengdako> Sir_Konrad, well don't give up on that since i have a 7.0.. cd with packages for kde3 so i don't really worry about that
[00:18] <sefo40> Have u tried with Parallels? I'm running backtrack on my macbook black
[00:19] <blakkheim> Sir_Konrad: i don't use linux on it anymore, but it worked alright when i did
[00:19] <galadude> would someone help me change my resolution, i only have one option?
[00:19] <aeon-ltd> galadude: try installing drivers for your card
[00:20] <galadude> thankyou
[00:21] <sefo40> HI. Can I install ubuntu on EYO netbook with arm architecture?
[00:21] <Sir_Konrad> obengdako, 7.0 of what?
[00:21] <blakkheim> sefo40: i don't think ubuntu supports arm anymore on the newer versions, but you have other options
[00:21] <blakkheim> sefo40: gentoo, freebsd, debian all have good ARM ports
[00:22] <peepingtom> ubuntu supports arm9, no?
[00:22] <obengdako> Sir_Konrad, ubuntu 7.10 dvd install it has packages including the old kde3
[00:22] <sefo40> I've tried to install gentoo and it didin't work.
[00:23] <blakkheim> sefo40: why not?
[00:23] <sefo40> I will try debian. Thanks dude
[00:23] <blakkheim> no prob
[00:23] <sefo40> It didnt run
[00:23] <blakkheim> that's a pretty vague description, i can't be of much help
[00:23] <bazhang> !ot
[00:24] <sefo40> Just didn't run
[00:25] <Sir_Konrad> obengdako, ok. :P
[00:25] <bazhang> sefo40, lets take non-ubuntu chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[00:25] <Sir_Konrad> obengdako, so I should just grab the Kubuntu 10.04 LTS Alternate ISO and use that to get KDE 4 on this box?
[00:26] <sefo40> ok
[00:26] <Baba-B00ie> hello, i built a low end pentium 133mhz/64meg ram. i'm looking for some software to run in terminal. i never installed X11
[00:26] <Jygga> hi, i read on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicKoala/ReleaseNotes that a mysql 5.0 database should be removed before upgrading (on ubuntu server), the sentence is somehow misleading or something. Can i just have the update manager upgrade mysql to 5.1 and keep my databases as they are? there shouldnt be too much differences?
[00:27] <Jygga> upgrading from 9.04 to  0.10
[00:27] <Jygga> 9.10
[00:28] <Sir_Konrad> Jygga, how about 10.04? LTS version.
[00:28] <Jygga> Sir_Konrad im on 9.04 i cant directly go to 10.04
[00:28] <NineTeen67Comet> Jygga: I did an upgrade from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS a few weeks ago and all seemed to have went well ..
[00:29] <v0lksman> hello all!  any idea if it's safe to delete log files from /var/lib/awstats? will any of the stats be messed up from deleting them?
[00:29] <NineTeen67Comet> Jygga: I did notice a couple of my sites had some minor issues with the WordPress users, but it didn't take much to fix them ..
[00:29] <v0lksman> they seem to be copies of the apache logs
[00:29] <rww> Jygga: Yes, that's the default behavior. The release note is saying you have to do something special if you're upgrading manually with apt-get dist-upgrade.
[00:30] <Jygga> thank you NineTeen67Comet ill just back them up, close my eyes and hit return
[00:30] <NineTeen67Comet> grin .. you using the cli to do the upgrade ..
[00:30] <rww> (so if you're upgrading correctly, with do-release-upgrade or update-manager, you're fine)
[00:30] <Jygga> i got no gui Oo
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> v0lksman: http://awstats.sourceforge.net/docs/awstats_config.html#PurgeLogFile
[00:31] <Jygga> yes thank you too rww :)
[00:31] <unitedpotsmokers> rww, the link u gave to me its only show how to upgrade maverick using cd... i dont have cd, but thumb drive
[00:31] <NineTeen67Comet> Jygga: as no server should .. mine are all headless too .. have fun .. I'm off to breakfast ..
[00:31] <rww> unitedpotsmokers: Umm. You said you had "10.10 alternate cd". Alternate CDs can't be LiveUSBs, so you presumably either have the CD itself or an ISO of it, and the instructions I gave cover both.
[00:32] <k-rad>  where does one download ubuntu 10.10.1 ?
[00:32] <djzn> 36 million to 250 million
[00:32] <magicianlord> 10.10.1 is out?
[00:32] <k-rad> i thought so
[00:32] <rww> k-rad: there is no 10.10.1; point releases are only made for LTSes, and 10.10 isn't an LTS.
[00:32] <k-rad> i heard someone mention it
[00:32] <k-rad> ok
[00:32] <magicianlord> yeah, it's a better release
[00:33] <djzn> i didn't find LTS to be a stable release
[00:33] <v0lksman> ActionParsnip, thanks.  ArchiveLogRecords...so the log files should be safe to delete (i hope..)  :)
[00:33] <blackshirt> yes, i don't think so
[00:33] <unitedpotsmokers> rww. yes i download 10.10 alternate cd. and i use "startup disk creator" extract the files to thumb drive..
[00:35] <rww> unitedpotsmokers: then go back, get the ISO you used, and put that on the USB stick instead. No point in complicating things by making it a startup disk.
[00:36] <uosiu> hi all
[00:36] <unitedpotsmokers> rww... format the thumb drive, copy alternate 10.10.iso into pendrive, OK
[00:36] <uosiu> I have desktop PC with intel atom n330 and nV ION graphics- all in ubuntu 10.04
[00:36] <aeon-ltd> uosiu: oooooookkkkkk ? and....
[00:37] <uosiu> When I use propertiary drivers from nV screen quality is very bad
[00:37] <uosiu> like 256 colors + no antialiasing
[00:37] <uosiu> 46" TV connected through HDMI in 1920x1080
[00:38] <uosiu> when I use drivers shipped "out of the box" screen quality is perfect
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> uosiu: then you may need to use nvidia-settings to setup the screen
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> uosiu: you may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig   then set the resolutions and such the card / TV combo can do
[00:39] <Jygga> i just finished an aptitude upgrade and it pulled a kernel update, telling me it requires a restart. Should i restart before do-release-upgrade?
[00:40] <rww> Jygga: can't hurt, and might avoid trouble later on, yes.
[00:41] <Jygga> i guess i better check grub before i do
[00:41] <uosiu> ActionParsnip: nothing changed :(
[00:42] <unitedpotsmokers> rww, now i copy iso into thumb drive...
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> uosiu: if the open drivers work fine, i'd use them. Try some vids and such
[00:43] <wolfric_> are there any more complete /etc/services files?
[00:43] <uosiu> ActionParsnip: I need h/w acceleration for web browser. It's advert station that displays info on TV placed on the wall
[00:43] <wolfric_> that don't just include rfc standard ports but others that are widely accepted
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> uosiu: then you may need to fight xorg.conf til you get a nice picture. See if there are any samples for your model etc.
[00:46] <jstoone_> Hi peeps, i'm running awesome as my wm and i'm looking for a sound contoller that works. Any good sugestions?
[00:46] <dli> jstoone_, pavucontrol ?
[00:46] <jstoone_> dli: cool i'll try that one!
[00:47] <Scunizi> .
[00:48] <Ward|> i tried setting up speech-dispatcher with festival but i can only get it to work with espeak, i edited the config to get the festival output module loaded and i also started afestival --server , went trough lots of docs, ... If anyone has experience with this, please let me know
[00:48] <Ward|> when i connect to the festivalserver manually it all works fine
[00:48] <Scunizi> I tar'd everything in my /etc/samba directory and then removed --purged samba.. on reinstall it did not install a default /etc/samba/smb.conf file .. why is that?
[00:49] <okapi14> i had enough of Marverick...time to delete it!!!
[00:49] <abstrakt> how do I get mp3 working?
[00:50] <abstrakt> I just wanna listen to internet radio
[00:50] <aborticide> does ubuntu 10.04 live USB have tmpfs capabilities on it?
[00:50] <abstrakt> but I keep getting plugin not found in rhythmbox
[00:50] <dli> Scunizi, apt-file search smb.conf , samba-common: /usr/share/samba/smb.conf
[00:50] <aeon-ltd> abstrakt: you need the plugins, they're in synaptics, under gstreamer
[00:50] <pibarnas> abstrakt: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[00:50] <jstoone_> dli: It works great thanks! Now I'm looking for a good Dvd player? I just inserted a DVD (A-Team) and dunno what's on the market (:
[00:50] <dli> aborticide, tmpfs has been in kernel for long, I guess yes
[00:51] <djzn> how to share a printer between two ubuntu, BUT with constant IP changes (sometimes computer one is <IP_ADDRESS> and two is <IP_ADDRESS>... sometimes the reverse).....
[00:51] <abstrakt> pibarnas, thing is, I did that
[00:51] <Scunizi> dli: so there's 2 smb.conf files?
[00:51] <dli> jstoone_, mplayer, xine-ui, vlc, totem
[00:51] <Scunizi> dli: suppose to be anyway?  one where you stated and one in /etc/samba ??
[00:51] <aborticide> dli: prove it
[00:51] <dli> Scunizi, you want a default smb.conf, you can copy it to /etc/samba/
[00:52] <jstoone_> dli: ah, totaly forgot I've got mplayer install already. Thanks again.
[00:52] <Scunizi> dli: ok.. that's easy.. but then why wasn't it put there on the reinstall in the first place as a default?
[00:52] <Ward|> speech-dispatcher-festival is lying btw
[00:53] <Ward|> ""
[00:53] <Ward|> line in the /etc/init.d/festival file.
[00:53] <Ward|> that file does not exist..
[00:53] <Ward|> (makes sense since i never ever told festival to autoboot, not did i get a question about it on install)
[00:54] <Scunizi> dli: /usr/share/samba doesn't exist on my system..
[00:54] <siber_> HOLA
[00:55] <abstrakt> pibarnas, any other ideas?
[00:56] <pibarnas> abstrakt: didn't that one work?
[00:56] <dli> Scunizi, sudo apt-get install samba-common
[00:56] <abstrakt> pibarnas, nope, I have the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, I did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and I'm looking at the thing in Synaptic right now and there's a nice semi-3D green square to the left of the name
[00:56] <abstrakt> indicating it is installed
[00:57] <misspapaya> if I make a custom LiveCD/LiveDVD, is it legal to include ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[00:57] <abstrakt> pibarnas, I've already rebooted
[00:57] <pibarnas> abstrakt: you just want to listen mp3? is that it?
[00:57] <abstrakt> misspapaya, read the license agreements for all the software
[00:57] <abstrakt> pibarnas, well, specifically internet radio
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> misspapaya: the restricted area legality is based on location, not customized install media
[00:57] <andrewh192> what's samba?
[00:57] <abstrakt> pibarnas, but yes, I do have mp3s
[00:57] <abstrakt> pibarnas, and also, the stream I listen to is mp3
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> andrewh192: how windows and linux can communicate to share resources
[00:58] <abstrakt> and I don't think they have .ogg or anything
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> ogg ftw :)
[00:58] <misspapaya> ActionParsnip: so I need to look up the legality for distribution for my location?
[00:58] <lixin> 没有中文？
[00:58] <abstrakt> misspapaya, um, I don't know that the legality changes by location
[00:58] <siber_> hola alguien sabe como pasar un PDF a ODT incluyendo las imagenes
[00:59] <abstrakt> misspapaya, I think legality is legality in terms of software licenses
[00:59] <lixin> 有说中文的吗 ？

[00:59] <Nuxro> Hi. I'm trying to centralize auth and /home storage for a handful of ubuntu 10.10 workstations. I saw the /home part of it can be done using autofsldap, any suggestions as to how manage the authentication part?
[00:59] <LjL> abstrakt, misspapaya: legality of restricted extras is mostly legality in terms of *patents*, so it definitely depends on location
[01:02] <nimbiotics> Hello all. I know this is a bit off topic but at&t does not give support for linux machines.

[01:07] <blakkheim> damnedyankee: sure, let me hand you an nvidia card

[01:13] <adam__> hi
[01:13] <silverrocker> hi, quick question. I would like to backup my hole internal harddisk to an external one (I have a sony vaio Z with raid 0) how can I do this I'd like to have an identical copy that I could restore later
[01:13] <adam__> anyone have a clue why I there's no "3d cube" with my compiz install?
[01:13] <adam__> I go to the desktop and scroll but nothing happens
[01:13] <agamotto> silverrocker, Use an imaging program such as Ghost 4 Linux or Clonezilla, it will copy whole drive
[01:14] <silverrocker> agamotto: I tried clonezilla but it says that I have to unmount the source (I havent mounted it)
[01:14] <agamotto> silverrocker, Now that is odd
[01:14] <silverrocker> agamotto: remeber that I have 4 ssd's in a raid 0
[01:15] <Ward|> i tried setting up speech-dispatcher with festival but i can only get it to work with espeak, i edited the config to get the festival output module loaded and i also started afestival --server , went trough lots of docs, ... If anyone has experience with this, please let me know
[01:15] <Ward|> this is completely undocumented...
[01:15] <agamotto> silverrocker, Yah, I think you are out of my league with that one, sorry...
[01:15] <Ward|> also no docs whatsoever mentioning festival, except that it "is supported"
[01:15] <adam__> anyone have a clue why I there's no "3d cube" with my compiz install?
[01:15] <silverrocker> agamotto: do you know wheere I can go with my question?
[01:16] <agamotto> silverrocker, The forums would be my best guess, as I don't know much about RAID configs
[01:16] <Ward|> silverrocker, is the disk close to full?
[01:16] <silverrocker> Ward|: close to empty
[01:16] <Judax> silverrocker: 4 SSDs in a RAID 0, max speed baby
[01:16] <silverrocker> Judax: I know rite XD
[01:16] <nadeem> is it safe to install the new ubuntu software center on my 10.4
[01:16] <nadeem> ???
[01:17] <Ward|> silverrocker, oh, then dd is not a very good option since it will also save empty space
[01:17] <Ward|> silverrocker, are you from BE btw? lol
[01:17] <silverrocker> Ward|: yes how do you know? zijt gij van uhasselt?
[01:17] <Ward|> silverrocker, i was
[01:17] <agamotto> silverrocker, As a joke, try the Partition Magic live cd... it has help me solve several problems... still not sure about the RAID bits, due to lack of experience with them
[01:18] <misspapaya> silverrocker: pipe dd through gzip
[01:18] <Nick> Hi fellas
[01:18] <silverrocker> misspapaya: should I dedicate an external drive for this?
[01:18] <misspapaya> silverrocker: you can back up to a file if you want
[01:19] <Judax> silverrocker: hardware RAID or software RAID?
[01:19] <silverrocker> Judax: I'm not shure I think hardware
[01:19] <misspapaya> silverrocker: did you set up the RAID in ubuntu or in your bios?
[01:19] <Judax> silverrocker: Did you configure the RAID before the O/S?
[01:20] <Judax> hehe
[01:20] <Nicolas> Hello
[01:20] <silverrocker> misspapaya: it's preconfigured but I can see the raid in the bios
[01:20] <Nicolas> Having a bit of trouble with 10.10 netbook
[01:20] <CJO> I am getting errors from gparted and it says that the NTFS partitiion is corrupted becuase of ocrrupt partioning table or incorrect partioning
[01:20] <DK_2> does anyone else prefer opera browser, but have it crash alot in ubuntu? is there a fix (besides mozilla, heh) that i could try.
[01:20] <Ward|> fakeraid probably :s
[01:20] <Nicolas> opera's pretty buggy on anything but windows ive found
[01:20] <CJO> and that some op's may be unavailable
[01:20] <silverrocker> misspapaya: so I have sda sdb sdc and sdd, I should do dd if=/dev/sda | gzip output               and repeat for each drive?
[01:21] <Nicolas> a terminal window pops up on every login, anyone know how to disable that?
[01:21] <misspapaya> silverrocker: you could, it would generate a backup
[01:21] <misspapaya> that would compress out all the zeros
[01:21] <Winkie> so i installed maverick from scratch, and since then i've been having video playing issues with flash, totem and occasionally mplayer where the frames drop and eventually stop while the audio continues, it then roughly catches up for 30 seconds or so
[01:21] <Winkie> nvidia drivers, release version, release version of everything else, all upgrades applied
[01:21] <silverrocker> misspapaya: and how would I restore it?
[01:21] <Winkie> running twinview
[01:21] <DK_2> Nicolas: look in startup apps, make sure its not checked off
[01:22] <misspapaya> silverrocker: then to restore, decompress with gzip and pipe back to the devices from a liveCD
[01:22] <Nicolas> Cany anyone lend me an ear? easy problem im guessing
[01:22] <Nicolas> sorry
[01:22] <Nicolas> dk2 i tried that
[01:22] <silverrocker> gzip output | dev/sda            like that?
[01:22] <CJO> heh all I wanted was to resize C: to install visual C++ 2010 express to do ARM7TDMI programming on the GBA platform
[01:22] <CJO> heh
[01:22] <DK_2> Nicolas: ok, do a regular startup, close the terminal, check off "remember running apps" and try a restart?
[01:22] <agamotto> DK_2, I gave up on Opera for those reasons... nice, but useless for me
[01:23] <DK_2> agamotto: but i love opera so much
[01:23] <DrkCodeman> i tried installing diffrent methods of ubuntu 10.10 and 10.4 to my computer and regardless when installation is complete it says restart, however it doesnt fully reboot the computer.   So when I cold boot when it comes up it has a blank screen with a flashing cursor apparantely there are several posts about this on the forums
[01:23] <DK_2> i used to pirate it when it wasnt free
[01:23] <DK_2> lonnnnng time ago
[01:23] <nerdy_kid> hello, I am trying to fix my ftp server and need to know, are the digits 39 68 port numbers in this message? "227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,2,39,68)"
[01:23] <Ward|> silverrocker, you cannot | (pipe) to a device/file you need to redirect to it (>)
[01:23] <Nicolas> where is remember apps again?
[01:23] <DrkCodeman> my ram is good as is my hard drive and dvdrw
[01:23] <DK_2> Nicolas: same startup apps box
[01:23] <DK_2>  i think
[01:24] <silverrocker> Ward| : gzip output > somefile and then dd if=somefile of=dev/sda
[01:24] <silverrocker> ?
[01:24] <Ward|> silverrocker, you can do it in one go
[01:24] <Nicolas> DK_2: I would simply see an entry as "terminal": in the startup apps dialoge right?
[01:24] <CJO> how can I fix this : http://yfrog.com/emscreenshot2ggp
[01:24] <silverrocker> Ward| : how?
[01:24] <agamotto> Frell... I suppose I will fetch my backups.... good thing I keep them up to date
[01:24] <DK_2> Nicolas: i believe so
[01:24]  * agamotto waves
[01:24] <DrkCodeman> anyone?
[01:25] <Nicolas> Ok, there isnt even an entry for it so i suppose that it is safe to say that isnt it
[01:25] <DK_2> agamotto im using IRC with opera browser right now
[01:26] <dennis__> hi
[01:26] <DrkCodeman> i take it none of you know the answer
[01:26] <dennis__> at all
[01:27] <dennis__> my name is dennis
[01:27] <Nicolas> DK_2: remember running apps is not it.
[01:27] <dennis__> it is possibile to change channel?
[01:27] <Ward|> silverrocker, sorry i was away for a moment
[01:28] <dennis__> i m new
[01:28] <Nicolas> DK_@ got it, just had to hit the remember open apps button with the temrinal closed
[01:28] <DK_2> Nicolas: explain?
[01:28] <bazhang> dennis__, /join #channel
[01:28] <Nicolas> thanks a lot DK_2
[01:28] <DK_2> np but it might not be fixed
[01:28] <Nicolas> in the start up apps settings
[01:28] <DK_2> restart ans check
[01:28] <DrkCodeman> anyone else getting blank screen with cursor on 10.10????
[01:28] <dennis__> it exist a list of channel?
[01:28] <Ward|> silverrocker, you can also pipe to dd, you can try it with a usb stick for instance, to see how it works
[01:28] <Nicolas> options tab
[01:28] <dennis__> ok
[01:28] <dennis__> thx
[01:28] <bazhang> dennis__, /msg alis list *channelyouwant*
[01:28] <dennis__> where we come from
[01:28] <Nicolas> under the remember open apps checkbox theres a button to remember open apps at that moment.
[01:29] <bazhang> dennis__, this is ubuntu support only. please go to #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[01:29] <Ward|> silverrocker, so dd just needs of= (because the input is being given trough the pipe)
[01:29] <Nicolas> DK_2 rebooting now to see if it worked
[01:29] <DK_2> Nicolas: correct, but youll hafta restart to see if it actually worked
[01:29] <Judax> DrkCodeman: This an upgrade, or new install?
[01:29] <hangfire> Is there any way to see how many more installs apt is going to do during a large apt-get upgrade ?
[01:29] <silverrocker> Ward| : ok thx, btw how are you :)
[01:29] <DrkCodeman> Judax: new install
[01:29] <hangfire> (while it is running)
[01:29] <DK_2> Nicolas: seems odd it wasnt in the startup apps
[01:29] <DrkCodeman> fresh install on my 250gb hd
[01:30] <Ward|> silverrocker, ok but still unemployed lol (i replied to the /msg btw)
[01:30] <Judax> DrkCodeman: How many times have you installed?
[01:30] <Nicolas> DK_2: We're good clean boot up
[01:30] <Nicolas> DK_2: thanks for helping me out.
[01:30] <DrkCodeman> Judax: i attempted to clean install using 10.4 and 10.10 using both usb installer and iso image
[01:30] <DK_2> Nicolas: glad i could help
[01:31] <Judax> DrkCodeman:  same results on both versions?
[01:31] <DrkCodeman> Judax: yes
[01:31] <DrkCodeman> Judax: also 32 bit and 64 bit
[01:31] <DK_2> DrkCodeman: what kind of puter?
[01:31] <DrkCodeman> DK_2: custom build
[01:31] <DK_2> specs? what chip
[01:31] <Judax> DrkCodeman: gotta be a hardware component
[01:31] <DrkCodeman> DK_2: i build computers for a living for neocomputers.com and resell computer products
[01:31] <DrkCodeman> amd athlon 6400 dual core
[01:32] <DK_2> DrkCodeman:  so i assume your not an idiot
[01:32] <DK_2> thats always a good thing
[01:32] <DrkCodeman> DK_2: lol i try not to be one )
[01:32] <DrkCodeman> ;)\
[01:32] <DrkCodeman> if i can type
[01:32] <aeon-ltd> DrkCodeman: this may take some time, but have you tried 43/64bit variants?
[01:32] <aeon-ltd> *32
[01:32] <hangfire> aeon-ltd: I love 43 -bit computers :P
[01:32] <DrkCodeman> aeon-ltd: yes i said that a bit ago
[01:33]  * aeon-ltd thinks touch typing is overrated
[01:33] <DrkCodeman> im trying to install right now with noapi swich
[01:33] <DrkCodeman> see if that changes anything
[01:33] <Judax> DrkCodeman: good idea
[01:34] <aeon-ltd> DrkCodeman: more speculation that may have been covered already, clean disks? isos checked md5summed?
[01:34] <DrkCodeman> aeon-ltd: yeah
[01:34] <Judax> DrkCodeman: Also, you build 'em, do a min-to-post on the box and add components from there
[01:34] <DK_2> DrkCodeman: silly question, but it works as a live cd, right?
[01:34] <DrkCodeman> DK_2: yes it boots from the live cd fine
[01:34] <iuhkjhkhjklh> hi at all

[01:37] <hangfire> DrkCodeman: what is the problem?
[01:37] <nerdy_kid> hello, I am trying to fix my ftp server and need to know, what are the 39 68 numbers in this message? "227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,2,39,68)"
[01:37] <DrkCodeman> hangfire: blank screen and a blinking cursor after installation
[01:38] <DK_2> 9x works on the same computer??
[01:38] <iuhkjhkhjklh> "/nick ing.dennis" nothing...
[01:38] <hangfire> DrkCodeman: in X or on a tty?
[01:38] <DrkCodeman> tty
[01:38] <aeon-ltd> DrkCodeman: no grub?
[01:38] <hangfire> DrkCodeman: can yo u change to another tty?
[01:38] <DrkCodeman> yeah no grub
[01:38] <hangfire> DrkCodeman: Ah
[01:39] <hangfire> DrkCodeman: that's not a tty :P
[01:39] <hangfire> DrkCodeman: Do you get "Loading Grub" at all?
[01:39] <DrkCodeman> yeah i know its like it doesnt want to hit the init
[01:39] <DrkCodeman> it goes from prompt to a blank cursor blinking
[01:39] <DrkCodeman> nothing else
[01:39] <hangfire> What prompt?
[01:40] <DrkCodeman> so it posts then blinking cursor
[01:40] <Guest77890> how do enable mp3 support in k3b?
[01:40] <DrkCodeman> prompt as in post
[01:40] <hangfire> Guest77890: Clearly, no one knows. Perhaps you can find a guide
[01:40] <DrkCodeman> it goes from post to blank screen and a blinking cursor
[01:40] <Judax> !mp3
[01:40] <hangfire> DrkCodeman: can you select a drive to boot from (make sure that this is right)
[01:41] <DrkCodeman> yeah i have it is all correct just wont boot from it
[01:41] <Judax> Guest77890: you see that?
[01:41] <hangfire> DrkCodeman: You may need to re-install grub to the MBR .. .but I'm surprised that you're not getting "No Operating System"
[01:41] <DrkCodeman> i can do that from the live cd correct?
[01:42] <ArtyG> If I installed something through apt-get, and then apt-get removed it and purged it to reinstall it, why do all of the configuration files that came with it the first time reappear?
[01:42] <ArtyG> I mean, why don't they reappear*
[01:42] <ArtyG> Arg, I have a bad case of the stupid.
[01:42] <bazhang> Guest77890, sudo apt-get install libk3b6-extracodecs
[01:42] <Guest77890> Judax: see what?
[01:42] <DK_2> ArtyG:  heh
[01:43] <bazhang> http://kubuntuguide.org/Maverick#K3b_.28CD.2FDVD_burner.29  Guest77890
[01:43] <hangfire> DrkCodeman: yes. boot the livecd, then you will need to chroot into your install to run grub-install
[01:43] <Judax> !mp3
[01:43] <ArtyG> It would make sense if they came back, but they don't :|
[01:43] <DK_2> ArtyG:  your saying, you installed something, set it up, uninstalled it, and reinstalled it but the way you set it up isint the same?
[01:44] <hangfire> Is there any way to estimate how long an ongoing apt-get upgrade is going to take?
[01:44] <Judax> Guest77890: The ubottu on multimedia
[01:44] <scoates> hello.
[01:44] <ArtyG> No, I mean, when it first installed it created a file that had the passwords for the program in it, which I need. When I uninstalled it because something happened to that file, I reinstalled it, but the passwords file didn't come back.
[01:44] <bazhang> Guest77890, I just gave you what to install
[01:45] <DK_2> ArtyG: so when you uninstalled it, the passwords were deleted?
[01:45] <scoates> is there a way to make `apt-get install (bunch of packages)` continue even if it hits "E: Couldn't find package" ?
[01:45] <milverton> hangfire: Why it can be need?
[01:45] <ArtyG> Basically, the application is a server that writes its default passwords to a file when it's first installed, then you use those to log in and change the passwords.
[01:45] <ArtyG> When I uninstalled and reinstalled it, the passwords file wasn't made this time around, so I can't log in.
[01:46] <FruitBasket> I have a package, openfire, that _requires_ one of sun-java[56]-jre, but works great with openjdk 6 headless. Nevertheless, despite having forced its installation it's now demanding I remove it any time I want to work with any other packages. Is there a way I can tell it to permanently disregard that requirement?
[01:48] <FruitBasket> got it.. just edit "available" and "status" and remove the lines. Cool :-)
[01:48] <DK_2> FruitBasket:  heh glad i could help
[01:48] <DK_2> lol
[01:49] <CJO> CnaI get some help
[01:49] <CJO> *Can I get some help
[01:49] <bazhang> CJO, ask a question
[01:50] <CJO> I get his error using gpart on a ntfs partition that's a section of the exteneded partiton as you can see
[01:51] <CJO> http://yfrog.com/emscreenshot2ggp]
[01:52] <CJO> have a fuckeried my ntfs partition or can I fix the table
[01:52] <CJO> if that's a problem even
[01:52] <Guest77890> bazhang: Thank You
[01:53] <con-man> is there a way I can install win7 without busticating my boot sector?  if not, is there a way I can easily repair the bootsector after the fact
[01:53] <con-man> I like linux and Im installing win7 only cause Ive been boxed in to a corner on a couple things
[01:53] <Judax> con-man: no, but it can be fixed
[01:54] <con-man> Judax, easily
[01:54] <con-man> ?
[01:54] <Judax> con-man: yes, go to ubuntu forums and look for reinstall grub, etc
[01:54] <Judax> con-man: windows 7 dual boot, etc
[01:55] <con-man> Judax, Imma try a vmware image instead
[01:55] <Judax> con-man: I have done it numerous time, just not at my local resource at the moment
[01:56] <con-man> Judax, my work issued iPhone requires me to install itunes
[01:56] <Ward|> i tried setting up speech-dispatcher with festival but i can only get it to work with espeak, i edited the config to get the festival output module loaded and i also started afestival --server , went trough lots of docs, ... If anyone has experience with this, please let me know
[01:56] <bazhang> !grub2 | con-man
[01:57] <Judax> con-man: Grub2 is real good about recognizing Win7, just a matter of reinstall
[01:57] <ActionParsnip> con-man: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/
[01:58] <Ward|> con-man, if you really want to you can also add an entry in the windows bootloader for grub (but grub first is preferable in most cases)
[01:59] <owner> hey guys
[01:59] <owner> i need help
[02:00] <owner> i was trying to install drivers for my video (nvidia) and i got it open but it says i need to do so with root
[02:00] <Judax> owner: sudo
[02:00] <con-man> owner, sudo is your friend
[02:00] <owner> im new so what do i do just type in terminal sudo and then drag the file over?
[02:01] <con-man> owner, example: http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/sandwich.png
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> owner: no, whatever command you are using, launch it with sudo. If you are installing nvidia drivers they are on the repos
[02:02] <con-man> owner, you type sudo before the command.  example: sudo rpm -ivh driver.rp,
[02:02] <con-man> owner, you type sudo before the command.  example: sudo rpm -ivh driver.rpm
[02:02] <Boardinary> is there anything like evince but with tabs?
[02:02] <Ward|> owner, if the file is executable that will work
[02:02] <Ward|> draging it to the terminal
[02:02] <owner> i downloaded it straight from the nvidia site witch are the updated ones the drivers on the updater their the old ones
[02:02] <ActionParsnip> Boardinary: the acrobat reader from adobe may do it
[02:02] <smacktalk> sudo apt-get doesn't work with tomahawk...
[02:03] <ActionParsnip> owner: there are PPAs with newer
[02:03] <con-man> owner, restricted drivers should be available on the default ubuntu install, is there any reason you need to download from nvidias site?
[02:03] <owner> their newer
[02:03] <Boardinary> ActionParsnip, havn't tried acroread in like 2 years
[02:03] <smacktalk> tomahawk is an ips tester...any recommended alternatives?
[02:04] <Boardinary> ActionParsnip, didn't like how slow it was compared to evince
[02:04] <owner> like i said im new at this and dont know what sudo and everything else does
[02:04] <ActionParsnip> Boardinary: might be worth a shot
[02:04] <con-man>  owner whats the file extension of the driver?
[02:04] <owner> .run
[02:04] <con-man> owner O_O
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> owner: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/how-to-install-nvidia-25635-display.html
[02:05] <con-man> owner, its not rpm, deb, bin or anything like that?
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> con-man: file extensions dont mean much in linux
[02:05] <owner> no
[02:05] <owner> .run
[02:05] <con-man> ActionParsnip, rpm and deb are vastly different
[02:05] <jc> hello,morning friends
[02:06] <Judax> owner: you should be able to do a "sudo ./nvidia-command.sh", where nvidia-command.sh is the name of the file, been a while but I have downloaded from their site, but that is what I recall
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> con-man: sure but if you rename an rpm to .deb and ask file what it is, it will tell you its the same type of file as when it was named .rpm
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> con-man: same with images
[02:06] <con-man> owner, then open a terminal, type "sudo su" enter password when prompted, then drag the ".run" to the terminal
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> owner: if you want to do it the hard way and use that file you can boot to root recovery mode and run it there after chmodding it executable
[02:06] <bazhang> con-man, no need for sudo su, please dont recommend it
[02:07] <con-man> bazhang, you can drop it to a non root terminal?
[02:07] <Ward|> con-man, ... duh
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> con-man: yes rpm are differenmt but the difference is not just the file extension, they are meaningless. Like those people who think bash scripts need to end in .shwhen they dont
[02:07] <bazhang> con-man, sudo -i for a root shell
[02:07] <Boardinary> ActionParsnip, where does acroread install its launcher?
[02:08] <con-man> bazhang, sudo su does the same thing as sudo -i?
[02:08] <CJO> is this fixale is what i am wondering : http://yfrog.com/emscreenshot2ggp
[02:08] <bazhang> con-man, no
[02:08] <_Neytiri_> i am having issues with my sound card
[02:08] <con-man> bazhang, im interested to know, whats the diff?
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> Boardinary: the binary will be in /opt
[02:09] <_Neytiri_> it isnt showing up correctly
[02:09] <ActionParsnip> owner: if you add this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa   you can use software centre to install the 260 driver
[02:09] <CJO> ...
[02:09] <Ward|> i tried setting up speech-dispatcher with festival but i can only get it to work with espeak, i edited the config to get the festival output module loaded and i also started afestival --server , went trough lots of docs, ... If anyone has experience with this, please let me know
[02:10] <CJO> ANyone
[02:11] <ActionParsnip> owner: ok that ppa doesnt support lucid or maverick, depends which release you have. If yuo use the .bin file you will need to rerun it after each new kernel
[02:12] <dksoba2010> Hi. I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 with kernel 2.6.35. Kernel 2.6.35 won't boot with acpi on my computer (Dell T3500). The solution seems to be to use kernel version 2.6.32 (per this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1595809). How can I downgrade my kernel to that version?

[02:15] <anup> hello my friends
[02:15] <anup> Good Morning
[02:15] <ActionParsnip> taiyal: mount a samba share then run:
[02:15] <DrkCodeman> any easy guides to reinstalling grub2?
[02:15] <ActionParsnip> taiyal: mount
[02:15] <DrkCodeman> and why should i have to reinstall grub lol that is a distro problem
[02:15] <view666> hello everyone
[02:15] <anup> can i expect my friends help me
[02:16] <Judax> anup: greetings
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> DrkCodeman: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/
[02:16] <view666> nice tomeet you
[02:16] <Sarajevo> never join #ubuntu-women
[02:16] <anup> http://facebook.com/unix4u
[02:16] <Sarajevo> women there are really mean to guys
[02:16] <taiyal> ActionParsnip: it only lists fuse on /home/user/.gvfs
[02:16] <anup> this is my facebook page
[02:16] <Sarajevo> i think it's a secret sect or smth
[02:16] <DrkCodeman> ActionParsnip: im not running windows period lol
[02:16] <bazhang> Sarajevo, offtopic stop it
[02:16] <taiyal> it doesn't list individual shares
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> DrkCodeman: then why use crappy NTFS??
[02:16] <DrkCodeman> im not
[02:17] <taiyal> did Canonical decide to make SMB even more "magical" in 10.10?
[02:17] <anup> i want my friends u to join in my facebook page
[02:17] <DrkCodeman> grub didnt install correctly from 10.10
[02:17] <taiyal> I think Nautilus might be managing SMB through its own means
[02:17] <DrkCodeman> or 10.4
[02:17] <anup> and share ur valuable knowledge over there
[02:17] <bazhang> anup, dont paste here
[02:17] <Boardinary> gnome-xchat needs proper ubuntu indicator support
[02:17] <anup> why??
[02:17] <Bilz> hello
[02:17] <bazhang> anup, its offtopic
[02:18] <taiyal> wouldn't be a problem if Ubuntu applications actually saw Nautilus' network shares, but they don't, so you have to make symlinks to them
[02:18] <anup> but won't u help me
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> anup: this is support, not frecruitment for some facebook nonsense. please take non support questions to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks
[02:18] <anup> bazhang
[02:18] <bazhang> anup, then ask a question, dont give facebook links here
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> taiyal: you can always add the mount in /etc/fstab
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> taiyal: or have a bash script to mount the share
[02:18] <taiyal> So Nautilus is managing SMB via its own means then?
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> taiyal: no idea, i don't use it, it's too slow
[02:19] <taiyal> I mean, I can access the files through Nautilus but can't perform any command-line operations on them
[02:19] <owner> now it says i appear to be running an x server and it wants me to exit before installing the driver
[02:19] <taiyal> hehe this is even worse than Canonical's decision to use gvfs in the first place (where root magically can't stat the gvfs directory)
[02:19] <taiyal> alright, thanks for your time
[02:20] <DrkCodeman> meh fsck 10x ill stick with 9x
[02:20] <TGP1994> Hi everyone. I'm trying to connect to a local computer's MySQL server (run on Ubuntu 10.04) but I keep getting an error 10061, with not much indication as to what exactly is wrong. This occurs when I try to open a connection. I'm trying to log into a user I created, which has privelages in only one database. Can anyone help me in diagnosing what's wronG?
[02:21] <Ghone> Anyone here know anything about clams?  I was given a hundred clams today, so I chucked them in the water when at 40°01'31 N by 74°06'36 W and am very curious what their chances of survival are.

[02:22] <Teejay__> Hi, I have ubuntu 10.40 LTS installed on my Pentium 4 2.8ghz system and when I update the kernel, it sometimes goes into an information screen and I have to restart the computer
[02:22] <unitedpotsmokers> rww, help
[02:23] <view666> CLAMS?????????????????????????????????????????????????
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> Teejay__: thats right, you need to reboot to boot to the new kernel
[02:23] <rww> unitedpotsmokers: with?
[02:23] <Teejay__> this happens even after I restart the computer
[02:23] <rww> ubottu: pm | unitedpotsmokers
[02:23] <Teejay__> how do I make the system boot to the new kernel
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> Teejay__: so after you reboot you are told the OS needs to reboot?
[02:24] <Teejay__> I have done that
[02:24] <unitedpotsmokers> rww, i upgrade but got error msg... http://www.imagebam.com/image/b203cb104421815
[02:24] <Teejay__> rebooted the OS after the updates
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> Teejay__: its automatic, the OS will (without any changes) boot the newesty kernel
[02:24] <Ghone> Well.... I suppose if they survive I could dig them up in springtime and arrange them in the form of an Ubuntu logo for a desktop background picture......
[02:24] <bazhang> Ghone, stop it
[02:24] <unitedpotsmokers> rww, what do you think?
[02:24] <TGP1994> What is that guy talking about?
[02:24] <owner> im installing a nvidia video driver and it says im running an x server and wants me to close before i install the driver what do i do?
[02:25] <mbroeker> owner, do you use the nvidia-installer from the nvidia website?
[02:25] <owner> yea
[02:25] <Ward|> i tried setting up speech-dispatcher with festival but i can only get it to work with espeak, i edited the config to get the festival output module loaded and i also started afestival --server , went trough lots of docs, ... If anyone has experience with this, please let me know
[02:25] <mbroeker> owner, tell me why!!!
[02:25] <rww> unitedpotsmokers: Not sure, I'm not that great at dependency problems in upgrades. Try asking the rest of the channel.
[02:26] <Ward|> mbroeker, lol he said "they are newer"
[02:26] <owner> because they are the new drivers the ones on the updater are old
[02:26] <Ward|> owner, why do you need newer drivers?
[02:26] <unitedpotsmokers> :(
[02:27] <Judax> Newer = better!!!
[02:27] <owner> because i want them updated
[02:27] <owner> peformance
[02:27] <obsidieth> has anyone used ubuntu on a dell inspiron?
[02:27] <DK_2> i have a file "ioUrbanterror.i386 on my windows partition "C:\" drive of a dual boot. Ive navigated there with terminal and cant change the permissions. i forget how ive done it before but i suspect it was with a gksudo nautilus and a gui. that isint working with maverick tho.
[02:27] <obsidieth> its making mine run a *lot* hotter than windows ever did.
[02:27] <mbroeker> owner, it works perfectly. but you have to maintain your setup
[02:27] <Ward|> unitedpotsmokers, did you install any debs from websites or anything like that? any debs not from the repo's
[02:28] <hblount> hi. i recently installed lubuntu on a usb drive and accidentally installed grub on it. after i did that, it removed grub from my harddrive and i could only boot from usb. but someone helped me and i fixed so grub is on my harddrive again.but now i can't boot from usb. anyone know whats wrong? the usb should have grub on it too
[02:28] <owner> what do you mean?
[02:28] <unitedpotsmokers> Ward|, yes.. a lot
[02:28] <mbroeker> owner, and if you are not able to stop and restart your X server to fullfill the installation, drop it. ubuntus version saves you from reading many docs
[02:28] <Ward|> owner, i can almost promise you the performance difference will be minimal if not unmeasurable
[02:28] <unitedpotsmokers> Ward|, disable them 1st?
[02:28] <Ward|> unitedpotsmokers, i'm afraid that's the problem then, like the error message says
[02:28] <dli> obsidieth, you may want to use something like: cpufrequtils
[02:29] <canadian_glenn> obsidieth:  I have an Inspiron 1520, and I havn't noticed any difference with heat...
[02:29] <unitedpotsmokers> so need to remove?
[02:29] <dli> obsidieth, also, play with power-manager
[02:29] <Ward|> unitedpotsmokers, i think you actually need to remove them, also extra repositories if you use any of those
[02:29] <owner> the thing is im going to be installing games here soon
[02:29] <unitedpotsmokers> ok
[02:29] <unitedpotsmokers> i try
[02:29] <canadian_glenn> I have noticed that when I boot, usually the cpu is set for the max speed.
[02:29] <Ward|> unitedpotsmokers, i'm not 100% sure though
[02:30] <Ward|> unitedpotsmokers, but make a backup before you try to upgrade
[02:30] <unitedpotsmokers> its OK Ward| , i try 1st
[02:30] <dli> canadian_glenn, so, you may want cpufreq control
[02:30] <unitedpotsmokers> yes, i backup using dejadup
[02:30] <unitedpotsmokers> thanks Ward|
[02:30] <canadian_glenn> dli: already use it... thanks....
[02:31] <Ward|> unitedpotsmokers, no prob, try reading the error enxt time though :-p
[02:31] <dli> canadian_glenn, powertop from intel is another idea
[02:31] <_Neytiri_> I am having issues with my sound card not showing up properly
[02:31] <canadian_glenn> dli: I was looking at that, but haven't gotten around to actually using it.
[02:32] <Ward|> unitedpotsmokers, what dock is that btw? kibadock or something else?
[02:32] <DK_2> i have a file "ioUrbanterror.i386" on my "C:\" drive of a dual boot. Ive navigated there with terminal and cant change the permissions to execute. i forget how ive done it before but i suspect it was with a gksudo nautilus and a gui. that isint working with maverick tho.
[02:32] <unitedpotsmokers> Ward|, Docky :)
[02:32] <DK_2> chmod duhhhh
[02:33] <unitedp0tsmokers> Ward|, Docky :)
[02:33] <Jygga> wow that upgrade went impressingly smooth
[02:33] <Ward|> uni4dfx, yeah i read, i'll check it sometime, i used to have kibadock which was very nice aswell, worked very good with compiz
[02:35] <Ward|> anyone experiences with festival or speech-dispatcher ?
[02:35] <Ward|> uni4dfx, sorry wrong highlight
[02:36] <Ward|> unitedp0tsmokers, yeah i read

[02:38] <dli> Lavagolemking, may not be recommended, but upgrade your sources.list, apt-get update;apt-get dist-upgrade

[02:39] <Lavagolemking> Stupid openjdk is segfaulting after an automatic update last night, and now I can't run eclipse which is required for a project due Monday.
[02:40] <Draqul> Lavagolemking: purge the faulty package and attempt a reinstall?
[02:40] <Bilz> when i put sudo shutdown -h +50 in terminal i dont get a confirmation thats it set to shutdown, it just hangs after it asks me for the pw. it was working not too long ago, and it still shutdowns in 50 minutes. anyone know how to fix it#?
[02:40] <yokomoto> or use the sun version until it's fixed
[02:40] <mrnelson1986> is there an easy way to "unencrypt" my home folder in ubuntu 10.10?
[02:40] <Lavagolemking> Draqul: Can you compare/contrast this with apt-get remove/install?
[02:40] <Lavagolemking> man0: I was hoping to stick with the LTS version.
[02:41] <Draqul> Bilz: you do not get your bash prompt back?
[02:41] <Draqul> Lavagolemking: you mean commands? sudo apt-get purge openjdk && sudo apt-get install openjdk (or whatever is giving you a hassle)
[02:41] <dli> Lavagolemking, can you do "apt-get update" successfully
[02:41] <yokomoto> shutdown -c
[02:42] <Bilz> how do you mean?
[02:42] <Bilz> Draqul, how do u mean? i have to ctrl+c to get back to bash
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> Lavagolemking: running an update on something that works, especially near a deadline is a really bad idea
[02:42] <skumara> please help me upgrade ubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10. I get this error. http://pastebin.com/kfYsSC1G
[02:42] <Lavagolemking> dli: apt is working normally as far as I can tell. I just tried apt-get remove/install openjdk, eclipse, and anything related.
[02:42] <Lavagolemking> yokomoto: What's the package name for the sun version?
[02:43] <Draqul> Bilz: that's what I was asking. That's odd...
[02:43] <mrnelson1986> is there an easy way to "unencrypt" my home folder in ubuntu 10.10?
[02:43] <Lavagolemking> ActionParsnip: I had security updates set to run automatically. It happened overnight while I was in bed.
[02:43] <nothingspecial> Bilz: If something works, it does it. It only tells you if it doesn`t workj
[02:43] <dli> skumara, can you run apt-get update?
[02:43] <ActionParsnip> skumara: can you give the output of:  sudo apt-get update
[02:43] <Haptic> is there a way I could get the menus to show up again on my folders?
[02:43] <ActionParsnip> Lavagolemking: i see
[02:43] <nothingspecial> work
[02:43] <yokomoto> Lavagolemking, you need to enable the Partners repository. The package name is something like sun-jre-v#
[02:43] <ActionParsnip> skumara: use:  http://pastie.org  to give the output
[02:43] <Draqul> nothingspecial: but he's not getting his bash prompt back - it just hangs after he enters the command.
[02:43] <canadian_glenn> lavagolemking:  here is a link: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-install-sun-java-runtime-environment-jre-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html.  It also works on meerkat
[02:44] <Bilz> nothingspecial, no. only last week it was working and it would say system is getting ready to halt or whatever it was
[02:44] <Lavagolemking> yokomoto: We're talking about the development kit (javac), not the runtime environment, right?
[02:44] <nothingspecial> Bilz: command ?
[02:44] <yokomoto> Bilz, if you want to run a shutdown in 50+ minutes in the background, call the command with & at the end. 'shutdown -h +50 &;
[02:44] <Veatle> were there major issues with updates to 10.04 this week?
[02:44] <_Neytiri_> can i please get some help with my sould card not shoeing up properly
[02:44] <_Neytiri_> sound*
[02:44] <dli> Lavagolemking, you can not use icedtea, right?
[02:44] <Veatle> i updated my netbook and have hhad nothing but networking troubles ever since
[02:44] <Bilz> yokomoto, i dont want to call it in the background
[02:44] <Bilz> nothingspecial, sudo shutdown -h +50
[02:45] <yokomoto> Lavagolemking, Just replace jre with jdk. sun-jdk-v#
[02:45] <Draqul> _Neytiri_: more detail please
[02:45] <Draqul> Bilz: why not?
[02:45] <_Neytiri_> it is a digital and analog card only showing up as analog
[02:45] <Bilz> Draqul, because I call it before i go to sleep, i have no need to call it in the background
[02:45] <yokomoto> Lavagolemking, if you enable the repository, and then do an apt-get update, it will show up in the search results in synaptic. Or you can do a apt-cache search sun-jdk
[02:45] <Veatle> i am connected to a wireless network 10.04 up to date, asus eee pc, the network is connected was working an hour ago, is not working now

[02:45] <_Neytiri_> and its a 8.1 and not all the outputs are showing up and neither are the inputs
[02:45] <Lavagolemking> dli: Forgive the naive question, but what is icedtea?
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> Veatle: what updates did you add?
[02:45] <Bilz> nothingspecial, what?
[02:46] <nothingspecial> Bilz: man at
[02:46] <ActionParsnip> Lavagolemking: an open implementation of java
[02:46] <_Neytiri_> dli,  yes  0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel

[02:46] <mbroeker> icetea is the openjdk java browser plugin, Lavagolemking
[02:46] <yokomoto> Bilz, then what is it you're trying to do? if you don't put it in the background, your terminal will be waiting for it to finish executing which won't happen for 50 minutes...
[02:46] <Draqul> Lavagolemking: you don't know the answer right? Then it's not simple, or stupid, etc. =) We're here to help.
[02:46] <dli> skumara, upgrade your sources.list to 10.10 and try again
[02:46] <Veatle> icedtea is a package of free java fillins for ip constrained java stuff like font rasterizers and encryption algorythms lavagolemking

[02:47] <ActionParsnip> view666: i have a free unlimited one
[02:47] <skumara> dli how to upgrade source list.?
[02:47] <dli> Lavagolemking, open source java: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
[02:47] <Bilz> nothingspecial, thanks, but the command does work. its just the missing confirmation. the computer will still shutdown
[02:47] <Veatle> actionparsnip i am using 2 10.04 machines right now on the same network, and the asus sees and signed onto the network but is doing nothing
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> Veatle: check in /var/cache/apt/archives  you may have got a new kernel and your wireless may need configuring for the newer kernel
[02:47] <yokomoto> Bilz, then use the command 'read' and do a shutdown if the answer is yes
[02:47] <Veatle> doh
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> Veatle: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>?
[02:48] <Veatle> nope
[02:48] <nothingspecial> You want conformation at shutdown?
[02:48] <dli> _Neytiri_, and intel-hda is your sound card, right?
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> Veatle: ok then run:  sudo lshw -C network   and websearch for guides based on the product line
[02:48] <Lavagolemking> ActionParsnip: Here's what happened with regard to updates and whatnot: http://pastebin.com/gwCWMG68

[02:50] <Veatle> oh there it goes
[02:50] <diego> nvm its not that important
[02:50] <Veatle> what is the lshw command?
[02:50] <ActionParsnip> Veatle: you have a slow pci bus so it took ssome time
[02:50] <Bilz> nevermind guys. thanks for trying to help!
[02:50] <yokomoto> actually, use $REPLY == 'y'
[02:51] <_Neytiri_> dli, apt-get install pavucontrol
[02:51] <dli> skumara, I suppose you can use ubuntu-software-center, but I usually edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:51] <_Neytiri_> whops
[02:51] <yokomoto> or $REPLY ~=  ^[yY]
[02:51] <_Neytiri_> dli, pavucontrol is already the newest version
[02:51] <diego> So... what do you guys do when your tired and want more energy?
[02:51] <dli> _Neytiri_, run as user (or from menu): pavucontrol
[02:51] <yokomoto> diego, coffee :)
[02:51] <Draqul> diego: sudo apt-get install 5-hour-energy
[02:51] <dli> _Neytiri_, check "Output devices", "Configuration"

[02:52] <diego> no coffee bad
[02:52] <jokoono> diego, We compile the kernel
[02:52] <diego> caffine evil

[02:53] <no--name> sudo porn-get install *
[02:54] <dli> skumara, then, I suggest you to launch ubuntu-software-center from menu, and go to Edit->Sources
[02:54] <rww> ubottu: tell no--name about guidelines
[02:54] <_Neytiri_> dli,  it has a rca style digital input and output connection
[02:54] <diego> anybody use any dual monitor display managers? i was using display fusion when i used windows...
[02:54]  * csmith1994 loves when people use ubottu
[02:54] <yokomoto> the default gnome display manager handles dual monitors ok for me
[02:54] <skumara> dli i already done. how to proceed further?

[02:55] <Sean93> manycam alternative for linux?
[02:55] <diego> Yoko yea its good but no farkles
[02:55] <obsidieth> dli its using on demand by itself, thats its default mode.
[02:55] <Draqul> Eclipse or VIM?
[02:55] <dli> _Neytiri_, can you find that in Configuration?
[02:55] <obsidieth> sits at 1.2GHz most of the time.
[02:55] <diego> thanks action ill check it out
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> Sean93: what does it do, you cant expect us to know every software ever
[02:55] <yokomoto> fair enough :)
[02:55] <obsidieth> its like the fan isnt triggering or something, could i manually enable it?
[02:56] <diego> : )
[02:56] <_Neytiri_> dli,  nope its all analog options
[02:56] <dli> skumara, sudo apt-get update
[02:56] <Sean93> ActionParsnip: http://www.manycam.com/. I can be so forgetfull somethimes :P
[02:56] <Sean93> sometimes*
[02:56] <dli> _Neytiri_, then, I suppose it's a kernel issue :(
[02:56] <_Neytiri_> dli, the audio card is Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03)
[02:56] <_Neytiri_> is there a way i can fix that
[02:57] <linux_kernel> _Neytiri_: Try get help on alsa developers
[02:57] <dli> _Neytiri_, I don't even know what rca is :( my intel-hda has HDMI, and it's in pavucontrol auto
[02:57] <diego> Any one have their linux + cert or is in the process of getting it ?
[02:58] <dli> linux_kernel, do you mean the so called rca is not supported by alsa yet?
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> diego: thats offtopic here
[02:58] <diego> ....
[02:59] <skumara> dli i'm in the souces list window. cannot enter http://archive.ubuntu.com maverik meerkat
[02:59] <dli> skumara, if you can do apt-get update, then, try to find release upgrade in software center
[02:59] <linux_kernel> dli: what's you mean on rca?
[02:59] <_Neytiri_> dli,  rca is the style of connection for the digital on the motherboard
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> diego: this is support only, other ubuntu related stuff is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:59] <diego> is Actionparsnip a bot?
[02:59] <diego> oh ok thanks
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> diego: no, i'm a dude, ubottu is the bot
[02:59] <dli> _Neytiri_, skumara , sorry, got to run, ask your questions to the channel
[03:00] <diego> oh do you somtime wish you were a bot?
[03:00] <skumara> dli ok. thanks
[03:00] <taiyal> is there any way to get Nautilus' SMB share mounting mechanism to revert to the old behavior and mount the shares in ~/.gvfs?
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> diego: nar, i know more than ubottu :)
[03:01] <diego> lol k thanx
 use old nautilos ))
[03:01] <Lavagolemking> No luck. It looks like I'll have to hope it works in Windows until I have time to reinstall.
[03:02] <taiyal> linux_kernel: I might try doing so, if downgrading doesn't break a dependency chain
[03:03] <taiyal> And speaking of which, another annoyance about 10.10, how can one get apt to stop deciding it needs to give package replacements?
[03:03] <taiyal> I was surprised to be prompted with the installation of 5 packages today when I tried to remove scim
[03:03] <streamex> Hello world!
[03:03] <streamex> Does anyone have a good wep cracking guide?
 why break? resolve dependencies manually
[03:04] <streamex> linux_kernel, Hey...do you have a good wep cracking guide?
[03:04] <taiyal> linux_kernel: This is Ubuntu. Stray too far from the canonical path, and everything falls apart.
[03:04] <linux_kernel> streamex, WEP? why not WPA?
[03:04] <streamex> linux_kernel, well, i dont have any wpa networks around
[03:04] <bazhang> streamex, offtopic here. please dont ask
[03:05] <streamex> bazhang, i think aircrack ng is connected to ubuntu, linux-wide )
[03:05] <mister-walter> Has anyone gotten LIRC to work on a Macbook Pro using a different remote than the Apple Remote?
[03:05] <Sean93> ActionParsnip: any ideas on a manycam alternative?
[03:06] <bazhang> streamex, #aircrack-ng   but they wont help you with cracking wifi.
[03:06] <streamex> bazhang, i didnt say HELP
[03:06] <bazhang> streamex, just stop
[03:06] <streamex> bazhang, i need a guide
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> Sean93: no idea, looks a bit like a kids app
[03:07] <Sean93> ActionParsnip: what i used it for in windows was to stream my desktop or a video as my webcam
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> Sean93: vlc can stream videos as can mplayer
[03:09] <Sean93> ActionParsnip: how would i stream them as a webcam? Manycam made programs think you had you webcam plugged in
[03:09] <DragonKeeper> ive installed unrealircd and managed to get it to run with 0 errors   but how do i get it on the internet    do i need to forward ports on my router ?
[03:09] <Jygga> hm only thing that didnt survive the dist upgrade was the webmin postgresql module apparently
[03:09] <linux_kernel> somebody can tell me there is some PPA with very fresh kernels exist?

[03:11] <ActionParsnip> linux_kernel: use at your own risk:
[03:12] <linux_kernel> ActionParsnip, what exactly?
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> linux_kernel: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/   we do NOT support these kernels so you will be flying on your own
[03:12] <canthus13> Anyone know of an audio app that can take the audio output and feed it back into line-in?
[03:12] <taiyal> canthus13: JACK can
[03:12] <linux_kernel> ActionParsnip, please explain (shortly) what is ubuntu kernel support
[03:13] <canthus13> taiyal: Anything that's less work?
[03:13] <DrkCodeman> would it matter if i burned the iso to a dvd instead of a cd?
[03:13] <linux_kernel> ActionParsnip, ??
[03:13] <taiyal> canthus13: I doubt it, Linux tends to have pretty weak audio support (try finding a card where Linux supports recording the system out!)
[03:13] <IdleOne> DrkCodeman: nope
[03:13] <canthus13> taiyal: Jack has been such a huge pain in my butt.  And I can't risk breaking my wife's desktop, she depends on the mic.
[03:13] <linux_kernel> ActionParsnip, simply I haven't clue...
[03:13] <IdleOne> DrkCodeman: would be a waste of a space but doesn't make a difference
[03:14] <wireless544365> help?
[03:14] <DrkCodeman> i dont get it then it is beyond me no matter what i cannot install the latest versions of ubuntu
[03:14] <canthus13> Hmm.
[03:14] <DrkCodeman> either 10.4 or 10.10
[03:14] <DrkCodeman> full install no other os
[03:14] <IdleOne> is the DVD not being read at all, you have bios setup to boot from CD?
[03:15] <DrkCodeman> lol not close...
[03:15] <DrkCodeman> i work on computers for a living
[03:15] <IdleOne> DrkCodeman: basic trouble shooting :)
[03:15] <taiyal> canthus13: If worst comes to worst, you could just use an audio cable to reroute it manually (NOTE: your card needs an AUDIO IN port for this -- not a "mic in" port)
[03:15] <DrkCodeman> yeah i seriously think it is a distro fuckup though
[03:15] <wireless544365> II can't get ubuntu 10.04 to connect to a wireless network using WPA-PSK [TKIP] security

[03:15] <IdleOne> DrkCodeman: keep the language clean please
[03:15] <DrkCodeman> alot of others i see on the forums are having problems the same
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> linux_kernel: those are folders full of kernels. If the page I gave confuses you I suggest you DON'T go messing with your OS in this way
[03:16] <IdleOne> DrkCodeman: I did a full clean install just the other day without issue. you did md5sum the iso?
[03:16] <DrkCodeman> yup
[03:16] <DrkCodeman> i can redownload no problem
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> DrkCodeman: there are other distros
[03:16] <DrkCodeman> actualy... i used 10.4 and 10.5
[03:16] <IdleOne> DrkCodeman: have you tried with the Alternate install iso?
[03:17] <DrkCodeman> err 10.4 and 10.10
[03:17] <linux_kernel> ActionParsnip, thanks.... but I like very fresh kernels anyway.......
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> linux_kernel: if all your hardware is working then you have no need at all for a newer kernel

[03:20] <Chrism_> thanks let me read
[03:20] <ActionParsnip> Nayr: its ubuntu and pronounced OO-BOON-TOO
[03:20] <DrkCodeman> alternate cd?

[03:21] <Chrism_> ?
[03:22] <Chrism_> ActionParsnip: I cant find the F6 menu on 10.10 install screen. I have "TAB" to change options which just brings up some text code I don't understand

[03:23] <DragonKeeper> managed get my irc server to work :)

[03:23] <IdleOne> DrkCodeman: sure thing
[03:23] <DrkCodeman> it's odd all other variants of ubuntu work prior to 10x
[03:23] <ActionParsnip> Chrism_: you just want to change the boot options, however its done
[03:24] <linux_kernel> DrkCodeman, yea :))
[03:24] <obsidieth> gr this is ridiculous.
[03:24] <obsidieth> it seems nothing can control the dell fan in ubuntu, but its set too low to allow proper functioning
[03:24] <ericenns_> also my usb keyboard doesn't seem to work when waking from suspend
[03:24] <Chrism_> ActionParsnip: What options do I want to change and how?
[03:24] <wireless544365> other than here, where is the best place to get ubuntu help, particularly to attach to a wireless?
[03:24] <linux_kernel> obsidieth, it seems on bug in bios
[03:25] <Zer> Is there a way to get rid of all notification popups?
[03:25] <Chrism_> Linus_Kernel: I'd prefer to install the current version, but I guess I could try an older one - which do you recommend?
[03:25] <obsidieth> nothing i an do about it then linux_kernel ?
[03:25] <canadian_glenn> obsidieth: what about in the bios?  There may be a setting for the fan there...
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> Chrism_: read the guide, it's why i pasted the link
[03:25] <obsidieth> i will have a quick look, but i suspect its ubuntu
[03:25] <obsidieth> as it works perfectly in windows.
[03:25] <obsidieth> never gets hot.
[03:25] <linux_kernel> Chrism_, try 10.04 :))
[03:26] <ActionParsnip> obsidieth: the fan may be controlled by cheap software rather than a hardware detecter
[03:26] <ActionParsnip> obsidieth: what model is the device?
[03:27] <obsidieth> inspiron 1525
[03:27] <Zer> I'd like to get rid of all the god-awful notification popups. Is there a way to do this?

[03:28] <linux_kernel> obsidieth, no in bios nothing in regard the fan
[03:29] <obsidieth> i can confirm there is nothing in the bios
[03:29] <DrkCodeman> wow wubi... isn't that ubuntu portable revised?
[03:29] <obsidieth> this is disappointing, i will have to reinstall windows
[03:30] <linux_kernel> obsidieth, this is either bios bug, or linux kernel bug :))
[03:30] <obsidieth> its simply too hot
[03:30] <obsidieth> like the fan does trigger sometimes
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> obsidieth: you havent told me the model
[03:30] <linux_kernel> obsidieth, it's bad, seriously

[03:30] <ActionParsnip> obsidieth: i may be able to help
[03:30] <obsidieth> dell

[03:41] <Draqul> smalls2: would a symbolic link to the alternate file work? =P

[03:41] <smalls2> no, I dont think so... it would divert all /var/log/messages bound things then
[03:43] <Phail_Quail> smalls2: you can make a symbolic link just for that file, not for the entire dir.

[03:44] <linux_kernel> Bro: because you didn't installed drivers :))
[03:44] <smalls2> By default iptables reports the LOG entries to /var/log/messages, but i want to configure it for /var/log/iptables.log

[03:58] <dli> randal, do you have them connected directly, or via a switch?
[03:58] <Gnea> ericenns_: a 'gdm'?
[03:58] <randal> dli directly
[03:58] <Phail_Quail> Graphical Desktop Manager
[03:59] <toshiba> yes
[03:59] <Gnea> !info xfcedesktop4
[03:59] <Phail_Quail> Actually DE - desktop environment, as gdm is a package.
[03:59] <randal> dli,  from my netbook to my desktop
[03:59] <Gnea> !info xfcedesktop
[03:59] <dli> randal, just want to make sure, your NIC cards are Giga bit
[03:59] <Gnea> !info xfdesktop4
[03:59] <Gnea> toshiba: install that ^^
[03:59] <fishscene> Does anyone know of a ftp server I could use?
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> toshiba: if you just want the xfce desktop then install xfce4
[03:59] <toshiba> ok
[03:59] <toshiba> I'm try it
[03:59] <randal> dli i prity sure my desktop is because i just built it like a week ago my netbook is a 1008ha asus kinda new
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> toshiba: installing xfce-desktop will install another text editor and a whole slew of other junk you dont need as you already have apps you can use installed
[04:00] <Gnea> !ftpd | fishscene
[04:00] <phasma> ping does not require root
[04:00] <ericenns_> randal: did you set a manual ip address on the desktop when connecting to the netbook
[04:00] <fishscene> !ftpd > fishscene
[04:00] <fishscene> Thanks Gnea
[04:00] <Gnea> cheers
[04:00] <randal> ericenns_,  all i have done is pluged it into my net book and started firestarter
[04:01] <randal> ericenns_, how do i do that
[04:01] <dli> randal, that's good. now, you can set up IP manually at both end
[04:01] <phasma> also, the metapackage for xfce is simply xfce
[04:01] <fishscene> I really don't think vsftp should be on the list since it doesn't seem to be fully functioning.
[04:01] <randal> dli,  can you walk me thorgh that
[04:01] <toshiba> yeah ,it success
[04:01] <fishscene> but oh well
[04:01] <tripelb> rsvp - I've got picasa which never changes your original image. It saves changes and you export the changed picture.
[04:02] <dli> randal, like from the desktop: sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>;sudo route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:02] <randal> dli,  the desktop is windows
[04:02] <dli> randal, at the netbook side: sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:03] <capsitan> hello
[04:03] <capsitan> you need networking help?
[04:03] <randal> dli, now how do i do that in windows 7
[04:03] <tripelb> annoying, chrome keeps bugging me that I have an unresponsive page while I'm uploading images from imgur. Annoying. Obnoxious. Every 18 seconds.  -- while I am typing this too.  FYI
[04:03] <dli> randal, figure out how to set IP manually then, you need IP/netmask, default router (<IP_ADDRESS>), and DNS server (use your IPS's, the same as on netbook)
[04:03] <tripelb> thanks rsvp
[04:03] <dli> randal, I don't know windows :(
[04:03] <tripelb> rsvp good nick.
[04:03] <ericenns_> randal: http://blog.mclaughlinsoftware.com/2009/11/26/windows-7-static-ip/
[04:03] <capsitan> i will trade networking knowledge for ubuntu graphics driver help
[04:04] <dli> randal, the 192.168.100. part is just for example, you can use whatever you like, as far as it's free from conflicts
[04:05] <randal> dli, so i set my netbook to what you gave me so what should i set my desktop too
[04:05] <capsitan> if you have a conflict you can  do a release/renew
[04:05] <nootrope_> can someone point me to how to make an executable--installed merely by unzipping it--runnable from a launcher? I'm forced to find it with Nautilus and clicking Run on the dialog that pops up.
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> tripelb: try chromium-daily, it may have the bug fixed
[04:06] <dli> randal, your netbook can be <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS>, and your desktop can be <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS>, and your netbook (<IP_ADDRESS>) will be the default router(gateway) for desktop
[04:06] <smalls2> ericenns_: could you assist me a little further with rsyslog?
[04:06] <ericenns_> smalls2: sure
[04:06] <randal> dli, ok i figured out how to do on windows just give me a sec to try it out
[04:06] <capsitan> i would set your network to be 192.168.1.x
[04:07] <dli> randal, you can use DNS in /etc/resolv.conf of the netbook as DNSs for your desktop
[04:07] <alesan> hi
[04:07] <randal> dli,  now im confused
[04:07] <smalls2> The documentation i found, took a few tweaks, but it's now outputting to another file -- however it's also still putting out to the original file also -- do you know how to make it stop processing it upon a match?
[04:07] <dli> randal, optional, you can run dnsmasq on netbook, and use netbook(<IP_ADDRESS>) as DNS for your desktop
[04:07] <smalls2> i think i may need to put it in another config file, nvm hang on
[04:07] <ericenns_> ok
[04:07] <randal> dli,  ill just do what you prvesly said stop confusing me lol
[04:08] <alesan> how can I install a SIMPLE ftp server
[04:08] <alesan> one that I configure with a password and shows ONE directory that I choose upfront
[04:08] <alesan> nothing that integrates with users in the system
[04:09] <renegaid> just installed ubuntu on my netbookd and this thing is slow,
[04:09] <capsitan> is there anyone here that can help me figure out how to get my radeon PCI card to work with linux??
[04:09] <smalls2> ericenns_: interesting. well, that documention is for 'additional' logging, it seems. I put it in the main config fail and it will terminate processing on the first match (not duplicate)
[04:09] <ericenns_> randal to determine your dns on your netboot to nslookup host, Server:ip is your dns servers ip
[04:09] <randal> dli crap im so confused now
[04:09] <toshiba> now I'm in xfce
[04:09] <capsitan> what is randal trying to do?
[04:09] <ericenns_> smalls2: so putting it in the main config causes it not to log anything else?
[04:10] <Loshki> alesan: this one looks easy: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[04:10] <randal> dli, so what i did was set my desktop ip too <IP_ADDRESS> subnet defalt gateway to <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:10] <randal> dli,  how to i check to see what my netbook is set to
[04:10] <ericenns_> smalls2: I will look at one config on my server on sex
[04:10] <ericenns_> sec
[04:11] <smalls2> ericenns_: doc says to add the lines to: /etc/rsyslog.d/iptables.conf
[04:11] <alesan> Loshki, and where do you configure the directory?
[04:11] <smalls2> if you do that, it appears to run through /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf FIRST, then the additional config files in that directory
[04:11] <alesan> Loshki, where do I specify an username and the password?
[04:12] <randal> dli,  im still having problems connecting the the network
[04:12] <smalls2> so, i put the rule at the TOP of /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf and deleted the iptables.conf file, it hits the match, writes to the specified log file, and stops processing that message
[04:12] <ericenns_> smalls2: ok I have only used /etc/rsyslog.conf
[04:12] <blaine> I'm getting whooped by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/656526 -- some people have resolved it by booting 10.04 and doing an fsck.ext4, but I can't even boot 10.04. I get a message saying "no init found, Try passing init=bootarg". Ideas?
[04:12] <ericenns_> smalls2: so is it working for you then?
[04:12] <smalls2> yea, /etc/rsyslog.conf doesnt exist in 10.10 (at least netbook ver)
[04:12] <smalls2> yes, just adding to /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf removed the duplicate message recording
[04:13] <smalls2> thank you for the help =)
[04:13] <ericenns_> smalls2: ok no problem you could always make iptables conf 10-iptables.conf
[04:13] <randal> dli, what do i put for dns
[04:13] <ericenns_> smalls2: that makes that rule get processed earlier
[04:13] <Loshki> alesan: It says the default user account is called 'anonymous" or "ftp", it uses the FTP Home directory (configurable I assume) and hides the rest of the filesystem....
[04:14] <smalls2> now, i have one other issue i'm working on. I am trying to set up a startup script containing:
[04:14] <smalls2> /etc/startup/fwrules.sh &
[04:14] <smalls2> echo "iptables rules applied: $(date)" >> /var/log/custom_messages.log
[04:14] <smalls2> xterm -geometry 1000x7+0-0 +bc -bg "black" -fg "white" -e "watch tail /var/log/custom_messages.log -n5" &
[04:14] <FloodBot1> smalls2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:14] <alesan> Loshki, I do not see how you can specify an arbitrary directory and username
[04:14] <smalls2> how3ever, when i boot up, the echo line does not execute -- the other ones do, though.
[04:14] <fishscene> Are you kidding me. I tried another FTP program and I have the *exact* same problem
[04:14] <fishscene> Is there a firewall on Ubuntu?
[04:14] <smalls2> fishscene: iptables
[04:14] <fishscene> How do I disable it?
[04:15] <smalls2> fishscene: iptables -F
[04:15] <smalls2> or try
[04:15] <smalls2> fishscene: iptables -F; iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT; iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
[04:15] <randal> dli,  are you still there
[04:16] <fishscene> smalls2, if iptables is not the problem, how would I "undo" these commands?
[04:16] <smalls2> hmmm, reboot? haha
[04:16] <fishscene> so this is a temporary solution?
[04:16] <smalls2> first, do... iptables -nvL
[04:16] <smalls2> see if anything is in there
[04:17] <smalls2> iptables-save > (somefile)       this will dump your rules to a file
[04:17] <smalls2> and then iptables-restore < (somefile)       will reload from that file
[04:17] <cpg> hi, i am trying to convert to ubuntu (from fedora). trying to install mysql-devel ... ... what are the "devel" packages called in ubuntu?
[04:17] <ericenns_> smalls2: where do you put your script
[04:18] <randal> dli,  k i deter,mined that im having problems makeing my netbook etho go on static ip
[04:18] <Loshki> alesan: Uh, there seem to be a lot of them. See if this one suits you better: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588
[04:18] <ericenns_> cpg: not sure but try sudo apt-cache search mysql, like sudo yum search mysql
[04:19] <jojosiao> i have a question: how do you add a group as a member of another group? i tried this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixShowAllUsers and I can't follow after looking for gnome-system-tools/users key
[04:19] <alesan> Loshki, I've already tried that
[04:19] <cpg> ericenns_: thanks ...
[04:19] <cpg> libmysqlclient perhaps
[04:19] <smalls2> ericenns_: I created /etc/startup/startup.sh, and using the 'startup applications' app, i added that script
[04:19] <Loshki> alesan: sorry, then, dunno. Keep asking....
[04:20] <alesan> Loshki, that is rather obsolete, and it requires to create users
[04:20] <randal> dli ericenns_ i changed my etho setting to shared to other computer in ipv4 setiings and it let me connect will this owrk
[04:20] <smalls2> i set permissions on the fail to 4755
[04:20] <fishscene> ugh
[04:20] <fishscene> ftp is still failing
[04:20] <cpg> ericenns_: how about the equivalent of yum list all ?
[04:20] <cpg> :)
[04:21] <Loshki> alesan: all the ftp servers are a bit old nowadays, it's an old protocol. Most people use http instead nowadays...
[04:21] <alesan> I like IRC better
[04:21] <alesan> also NNTP
[04:21] <alesan> but I need FTP
[04:22] <Loshki> cpg: generally, the devels are named -dev in ubuntu. apt-cache search mysql | egrep dev. The problem is lots of choices...
[04:22] <Diamondcite> sftp is more secure than ftp.
[04:22] <ericenns_> cpg: apt-cache search all
[04:22] <randal> ericenns_, can you help me set my netbook to a static ip plz
[04:22] <Diamondcite> alesan: Any particular reason for needing an FTP specifically?
[04:22] <ericenns_> randal: easyiest way right click on networking in gnome tool-bar
[04:23] <smalls2> randal: ifconfig eth0 x.x.x.x netmask x.x.x.x
[04:23] <alesan> Diamondcite, because the embedded device I am using wants to download a firmware update from ftp
[04:23] <alesan> I do not need any security; I just want a username and password and ability to download a file
[04:23] <Diamondcite> alesan: And you get to specifiy the ftp server to use?
[04:23] <alesan> Diamondcite, what?
[04:23] <randal> ericenns_,  smalls2 im confused on what to put for my gateway or do i leave that blank
[04:24] <alesan> can you re-state your question?
[04:24] <smalls2> randal: are you behind a router? modem? firewall?
[04:24] <Diamondcite> alesan: Well.. even if you setup an ftp server.. what makes the device use YOUR ftp server and not the vendors' ftp for example..
[04:24] <ericenns_> cpg: wait I mat have gave you the wrong command yum list all, shows all installed apps right then this is equivalent in ubuntu debian "dpkg –get-selections"
[04:24] <smalls2> randal: is the system currently connected and able to use network resources?
[04:24] <alesan> there is a GUI where you specify the host, user and password
[04:25] <alesan> Diamondcite, ^^^
[04:25] <cpg> ericenns_: kk
[04:25] <cjae> wifi at boot? before login?
[04:25] <Diamondcite> alesan: Okay stranger question, do you have a wii on hand with HBC?
[04:25] <Jtemp> hello. i am pretty much a complete noob. does anybody know much about sakis3g?
[04:25] <alesan> wii?
[04:25] <alesan> what is "a wii"?
[04:25] <Diamondcite> alesan: Game console, I was trying to take the easy way out =P
[04:25] <alesan> mh not
[04:25] <alesan> I don't play
[04:26] <Diamondcite> THat console had a ready to use ftp server.. once homebrew was 'enabled'
[04:26] <randal> smalls2 i want to run ther ineternet to my netbook from wifi then to my computer through eth0
[04:26] <randal> small2 connected directly
[04:26] <Diamondcite> alesan: So you are just trying to setup an ftp server right now?
[04:26] <alesan> yes
[04:26] <alesan> a simple one
[04:26] <smalls2> wait, so do you want wifi or ethernet
[04:26] <Diamondcite> alesan: How far have you gotten?
[04:27] <alesan> I wish to specify a directory that is inside my home dir
[04:27] <alesan> but I need a SIMPLE username and password
[04:27] <renegaid> anyone try nrtbook trmic
[04:27] <Diamondcite> alesan: Standby.. looking up some MUCH lighter weight clients (proftpd is overkill)
[04:27] <alesan> for example I have atftpd (for a different protocol) and that works
[04:27] <Jtemp> anybody use sakis3g script?
[04:28] <frankbro> Anyone knows why rhythmbox won't let me add a song that I can listen in totem? Doesnt throw me any error either.
[04:28] <randal> smalls2, do i need to but a gateway on my eth0 device
[04:28] <rww> neo__: there you go :)
[04:28] <renegaid> anyone use or tried netbook remix
[04:28] <neo__> how do i partition my HD
[04:28] <smalls2> you can likely just do "dhclient eth0" and pull an IP address... do you NEED a static IP?
[04:29] <alesan> neo__, I did one single partition
[04:29] <Omen_20> Hi. I keep hearing about Unity not being customizable, can you not set it be transparent, or change the normal themes?
[04:29] <smalls2> And you need to give a default gateway so your computer knows who to hand traffic off to if it isn't directly cnnected to you
[04:29] <neo__> this is my first linux box, im tring to partition from the desktop
[04:30] <smalls2> all, I am trying to run a script at startup, but it doesnt execute the 'echo' line. Any ideas why? the command before and after both work:  /etc/startup/fwrules.sh &; echo "iptables rules applied: $(date)" >> /var/log/custom_messages.log; xterm -geometry 1000x7+0-0 +bc -bg "black" -fg "white" -e "watch tail /var/log/custom_messages.log -n5" &
[04:30] <Omen_20> neo__, look into gparted
[04:30] <rww> ubottu: partition | neo__
[04:30] <Jtemp> can anybody help with sakis3g?
[04:30] <Stevethepirate> smalls2: why the "&;"
[04:30] <renegaid> anyone use or tried netbook remix. why is it so slow
[04:30] <kernel_script> hello folks. Someone know if there is a method/file that i can pass boot options like noacpi and nomodeset so it will automaticaly work, so i dont need to pass it every boot time? i searched but can' get a answer : /
[04:31] <Stevethepirate> kernel_script: Check out your /boot/grub/
[04:31] <smalls2> stevethepirate: to put have it not execute in a terminal...
[04:32] <kernel_script> boot/grub ok, but which file should i edit?
[04:32] <kernel_script> i'm using 10.10
[04:32] <Stevethepirate> Look at menu.lst
[04:33] <neo__> ok i read that link but i already got ubuntu installed and thats the only OS i got on this box
[04:33] <Diamondcite> alesan: Think the basic ftpd package is enough?
[04:33] <chronos> can I have multiple python versions (2.5 and 2.6) running into my ubuntu box? I need to develop and have virtualenv working with both.
[04:33] <kernel_script> there is no menu.lst : /
[04:33] <HashBox> kernel_script, /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[04:33] <alesan> Diamondcite, the simpler the better :)
[04:33] <HashBox> that one should be there
[04:34] <Stevethepirate> chronos: you can have multiple python versions.
[04:34] <kernel_script> yah, found it
[04:34] <Diamondcite> alesan: ftpd looks tiny so I don't think it can do much, but I have never used it before =/
[04:35] <Stevethepirate> Type ls /usr/bin | grep python
[04:35] <maodun> What should I grab from apt-get to get a lampstack up and running quickly?
[04:35] <blaine> why might a mount command hang?
[04:35] <Stevethepirate> you'll see all the versions of python installed on your box. /usr/bin/python is just symblinked to the latest version.
[04:35] <blaine> hard drive hosed, perhaps?
[04:35] <rww> ubottu: pm | neo__
[04:36] <Stevethepirate> Possibly, but normally mount is verbose enough to output some errors.
[04:36] <Stevethepirate> Have you checked logs?
[04:36] <HashBox> maodun, you can use sudo apt-get install lamp-server I think
[04:36] <blaine> no, but I will now
[04:36] <rww> or /quit. that works too I guess.
[04:37] <maodun> HashBox: doesn't seem so
[04:37] <kernel_script> found what i wanted, nice, no more headaches hehe
[04:37] <kernel_script> thank you very much Stevethepirate and HashBox for the help
[04:37] <Stevethepirate> kernel_script: so you can just test using /usr/bin/python2.4 or /usr/bin/python2.5 :)
[04:37] <Stevethepirate> No problem :)
[04:37] <blaine> ah yes, plenty of dmesg output
[04:38] <HashBox> you're welcome kernel_script :)
[04:38] <blaine> SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block 478a7e2, size 1eb7c
[04:38] <Sean93> how do i fix this error "configure: error: GNU gettext tools not found; required for intltool". got the error when running ./configure
[04:38] <rww> Sean93: install the 'gettext' package?
[04:38] <Stevethepirate> Sean93: it means you missing some files.
[04:39] <randal> smalls no i just want internet ive just been told i had to use a static ip
[04:39] <randal>  smalls2 no i just want internet ive just been told i had to use a static ip
[04:39] <randal>  smalls2, I am now connected to each other computer but im geting an error saying DNS server isnt responsive from my desktop
[04:39] <randal>  and when i try and connect firestarter says hit from ip address what ever that means
[04:39] <Stevethepirate> aptitude search gettext
[04:39] <Stevethepirate> randal: Please don't flood the channel!
[04:39] <randal> smalls2 i connected to my desktop but lost internet connecting to my netbook
[04:39] <randal> smalls2 i had to reset my setiings
[04:40] <HashBox> maodun, try sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[04:40] <Sean93> rww: when i use sudo apt-get install gettext i get "Package gettext is not available, but is referred to by another package."
[04:40] <blaine> it appears my CD/DVD drive is borked
[04:40] <Stevethepirate> randal: Ok, so you have a desktop and a netbook. The Desktop is connected to the internet, and you want the netbook to connect to the internet through the desktop?
[04:40] <HashBox> maodun, take a look here http://www.hackourlives.com/install-apache-mysql-php-phpmyadmin-lamp-on-ubuntu-10-04-or-mint-linux-9/
[04:40] <rww> Sean93: have you done sudo apt-get update recently?
[04:40] <maodun> HashBox: thanks
[04:40] <HashBox> you're welcome
[04:41] <randal> Stevethepirate, i have a netbook connected to the internet trying to share it to a desktop
[04:41] <Sean93> rww: just realized i meessed up my sources.list, good thing a backed it up :P
[04:41] <Sean93> thanks
[04:41] <rww> ah, that'd do it ;)
[04:41] <Stevethepirate> randal: Ok. So is the netbook connected to the internet?
[04:41] <Stevethepirate> (And working)
[04:41] <Stevethepirate> *desktop
[04:41] <dli> randal, sorry, I was away, still no go?
[04:41] <randal> Stevethepirate,  yes that how im talking to you lol
[04:42] <randal> dli i got connected but then i lost my internet on my netbook lol
[04:42] <randal> dli,  back to sqare one
[04:42] <Stevethepirate> If you are using firestarter, I'm not sure.
[04:42] <Stevethepirate> I generally just use iptables.
[04:42] <randal> dli,  also got errors saying dns server not responding
[04:42] <randal> Stevethepirate,  is that easier
[04:42] <cicatrix1> It's pretty easy to share networking with network-manager
[04:43] <randal> i would like to know the easiest way lol
[04:43] <astrostl> 10.04, installed plasma (KDE) desktop and the menu fonts look horrible to me.  is there a standard reference point for improving them?  it's a 1920x1200 screen and the menu bars look horribly blocky, large, and aliased to me.
[04:43] <randal> i just want internet lol
[04:43] <randal> cicatrix1,  how do you do that
[04:43] <tripelb> thanks ActionParsnip - I tried to do that once. I coudlnt figure out how to get it. I think you have to compile it. I have too much to read/do anyway. I'm an intellectual ho. I'll read anything. So much is interesting.

[04:56] <blakkheim> n8ofsp8ds: no, flash is closed source, we can't fix it
[04:56] <HashBox> Sean93, if you plug in your install USB, it should open in the file manager, and you should be able to find /etc/apt in there and copy it

[04:57] <randal_> dli Stevethepirate can you do this without firestarter would it be easier what do i have set wrong
[04:58] <blaine> Isn't the 10.10 LiveCD supposed to give you the option to run a memtest? When I put in the 10.10 LiveCD it boots straight to the "install or try ubuntu" screen, without the option of a memtest
[04:58] <Sean93> HashBox: is there no way you can find out? i have no idea what im doing
[04:58] <switch10_> blaine: hold shift after post..
[04:58] <izinucs> n8ofsp8ds: there is a new flash beta called flash squared .. google it and install.. however if you have issues in vlc most likely you have video driver issues and not flash issues..
[04:58] <randal_> blaine,  when you but from disk tap the left shift key will bring up a menu
[04:58] <dli> randal_, yes, quite easy, first, you get your wifi up, then, set up eth0 manual, then, some iptables
[04:59] <randal_> blaine, boot
[04:59] <rww> blaine: when it first starts booting, there should be a graphic at the bottom of the screen that makes no sense. it's supposed to mean "press any key for accessibility options" if you press any key, the memtest entry is on there.
[04:59] <blaine> alright, trying now
[04:59] <renegaid> is ubuntu even capable of 5.1 sound?
[04:59] <randal_> dli what are iptables
[04:59] <edbian> renegaid, Yeah.  It is
[04:59] <MonthOLDpickle> WHat is the ubuntus bluetooth app name?
[04:59] <dli> randal_, first, you make sure, you get wifi and eth0 both up
[04:59] <blaine> it would be nice if the symbol was a little less cryptic :P
[04:59] <edbian> randal_, iptables is the firewall program built into linux
[04:59] <randal_> dli,  ok wireless is up ill try and set up eth0
[04:59] <renegaid> does not seem that way. Every release it sounds like crap

[05:02] <randal_> dli,  now my desktop is set to <IP_ADDRESS> gateway to <IP_ADDRESS> DNS is the same
[05:02] <izinucs> Dan48p: there's a PPA on launchpad that hosts a .deb install for the latest nvidia binary.. doing it manually is much more difficult than it use to be several releases ago.  use the PPA to do the upgrade/install.
[05:02] <randal_> dli,  what do you mean im tring to get internet to my deskto

[05:05] <Exploiter> anyone knows why /etc/default/grub file is blank in ubuntu 10.10 ?

[05:05] <Sean93> I deleted /etc/apt/ by accident, what should i do?
[05:06] <dli> randal_, on netbook, you only set IP/netmask

[05:06] <Scotty> hey guys I am having trouble connecting to my wireless netweork
[05:06] <izinucs> Dan48p: most likely it's just the driver.. I use it on my 8200 card on my desktop with no issues really.. you can always uninstall it and go back to the previous one.. a ppa will allow you to list it as a repository.. so typically it's a simple update
[05:06] <Scotty> It worked earlier...
[05:06] <dli> randal_, no, you don't change/add gateway after wifi up
[05:06] <rooks> Sean93,  i think its possible in some situations to undelete, tho i havent done it mysef
[05:06] <Sean93> rooks: how?
[05:06] <randal_> dli,  it wont let me get rid of the gateway address
[05:07] <Scotty> Then I turned the computer off, and voila, not no longer works.
[05:07] <switch10_> Sean93: not really if you did rm -r /etc/apt
