[00:00] <raj> BluesKAj-Laptop: BhlueKaj-Laptop you have no idea what ur talking about .. i helped at least 20 peopel with sound issues on ubuntu and mint soo.. please dont say anything.. new alsa supports MORE HDA cards
[00:01] <BluesKaj-Laptop> raj, why run pulse at all , it's just another layer of processing-sound server .Only those with elaborate sound systems may benefit from pulseaudio
[00:01] <Nuf881> Where should I put a package file so apt-get will use it instead of downloading?
[00:02] <Quickard> dont have a menu.lst in /boot/grub
[00:02] <raj> BluesKaj-Laptop: without pulse video editing is almost impossible .. and audacity wont be easy to manager. pulse plays a BIG role in ubuntu
[00:02] <Jordan_U> !grub2 | Quickard
[00:02] <scribawf> How do I find version of Grub installed?
[00:02] <VCoolio> Nuf881: somewhere in /var/cache/apt but why not just 'dpkg -i /path/to/deb' ?
[00:03] <Jordan_U> scribawf, grub-install --version or "apt-cache policy grub grub-pc"
[00:03] <scribawf> Jordan_U:  Tnx much
[00:04] <mylisto2> So I just installed virtual box and I want to get xp in a virtual box on my system...Where can I actually add xp?
[00:04] <VCoolio> scribawf: in this case apt-cache policy isn't reliable; "dpkg -l | grep grub"
[00:04] <govatent> hey, can anyone give me a hand with citrix client? i am running 9.10 64. I got the client working and can run the apps on my school's site but i can't map my home folder in the citrix apps
[00:04] <Younder> is there a PAM module for iris scan \authentication?
[00:04] <BluesKaj-Laptop> raj ...ok so you're speaking about the media types who are using ubuntu , not the guy who just wants his soundcard to work properly without crappy or no sound at all
[00:04] <Jordan_U> VCoolio, Not reliable in what way?
[00:05] <red> anyone tested Adobe CS4 programs under a virtual machine in karmic?
[00:05] <VCoolio> Jordan_U: I use grub but I don't have grub or grub2 package installed, but grub-common and grub-pc
[00:05] <red> Do they work ok?
[00:05] <red> Mainly want photoshop without having to dualboot.
[00:05] <pmow> red, why wouldn't it work?
[00:05] <red> i dunno, i never tested VMs so thought id ask :)
[00:05] <Jordan_U> VCoolio, That's why I told him to run "apt-cache policy grub grub-pc"
[00:05] <red> under wine it didnt really work
[00:06] <red> using layers crashed it
[00:06] <pmow> red, it will work because it's a virtual machine and not wine
[00:06] <red> ye
[00:06] <raj> BluesKaj-Laptop: who doesnt edit or play music on tehir laptop?? who doesnt manager more than 1 source of audio.. flash + media player?
[00:06] <red> goodie
[00:06] <red> just thought id ask if someone had tested :)
[00:06] <m_fulder>  I try to create share to one folder in /var/ and get this error message: http://pastebin.com/YhMwaY5e
[00:06] <m_fulder>  why
[00:06] <goviel> mylisto2: run virtuabox, click new, name it, set the settings, then start the v machine, and then bootfrom the cd or w/e media u are going to install xp
[00:06] <pmow> I'm sure someone has on google
[00:06] <VCoolio> Jordan_U: anyway apt-cache policy answers "what version of this is available", "dpkg -l" answers "what do I have"; but you're right you covered it
[00:06] <scribawf> VCoolio;  used the "apt-cache policy" and came up with result - GRUB 1.97~beta4
[00:07] <NewWorld> raj:  ALSA can play audio from multiple applications
[00:07] <red> pmow: sorry for using irc for a quickie :)
[00:07] <Jordan_U> VCoolio, It also tells you what version is installed.
[00:07] <pmow> if that's what you call a quickie, I don't want to be your gf/bf
[00:07] <pmow> ;)
[00:07] <red> :D
[00:07] <Cerbero> hi, new ATI HD 5850, i'm in safe mode, how can i configure it?
[00:07] <red> bad perv, away!
[00:08] <raj> NewWorld: yes it can but it cant play well in audacity / openshot / and sometimes VLC will give u problems i did try taking it off and it was alot more painfull
[00:08] <pmow> I'm a pervert with permissions issues.  Sigh.
[00:08] <red> only read permissions?
[00:08] <red> :D
[00:08] <red> im guessing you would like to be su
[00:08] <pmow> my minions/users own folders that they cannot delete
[00:09] <mylisto2> goviel: should I use an iso of the xp I want to run?
[00:09] <pmow> they're restricted to their /home/user dir, but cannot delete /home/user/folder
[00:09] <pmow> and I have to use SFTP, and I can't let them see each other
[00:10] <BluesKaj-Laptop> raj, i don't know of many ppl who actually edit video let alone audio :)
[00:10] <pmow> otherwise I'd just run FTP or set the perms correctly in the first place.  But SFTP jail breaks it all =/
[00:10] <ujjain> How can I see history of software I installed via Software Center in Ubuntu?
[00:10] <red> pmow: i wondered about that earlier
[00:10] <pmow> =)
[00:11] <red> most linux machines i have rights to sftp to let me just go and browse everbodys hoem folders
[00:11] <raj> BluesKaj-Laptop: a computer is more than just webbrowsing chatting and office documents.. its multimedia TOO :S
[00:11] <red> and i find that kinda odd default
[00:11] <pmow> yes, indeedy.
[00:11] <pepper_haze> Does anyone here know how to install geforce 240 GT on a linux computer?
[00:11] <red> would be nice if sftp respected .htaccess or something similar
[00:11] <ZykoticK9> ujjain, /var/log/apt/history.log should show you
[00:11] <BluesKaj-Laptop> raj,, agreed , but even linux users don't do a lot of media editing
[00:11] <Hellhound666> I got a question why is it that my files don't show up when I display hidden files?
[00:12] <Hellhound666> but when I go to the command line in the same directory they are there
[00:12] <red> so i could set my own folders safe without being a root user on certain machines :l
[00:12] <Hellhound666> permissions or something?
[00:12] <ujjain> ZykoticK9: Appreciate it.
[00:12] <pmow> Hellhound666, are you using the same user in CLI?
[00:13] <pmow> red, yes it's quite frustrating, in addition to all my other ... frustrations
[00:13] <Hellhound666> wtf nm I see them
[00:13] <red> :D
[00:13] <Hellhound666> yes I am I dunno what I did
[00:13] <Hellhound666> pff weird
[00:13] <pmow> Hellhound666, I'm going to put up half a point for me, since I didn't do anything
[00:13] <aaron909> hi
[00:13] <Hellhound666> alright works for me
[00:14] <pepper_haze> Does anyone here know how to turn off x server in unbuntu
[00:14] <NateW> im trying to use a program called bibble (uses qt) and for some reason the text is corrupt and looks like random characters. using the application in other user accounts works fine and the corrupt language is in my account only.. what could be causing this?
[00:14] <goviel> mythicalbox: yes that would be a great choice, i had to make a new machine to make sure it would work
[00:14] <ubyserver> Does anyone recommend something other than virtualbox 3.0.8 for my ubuntu karmic?
[00:15] <ZykoticK9> pepper_haze, do you want to disable GDM from starting each time, or do you just want to turn X off for a moment?
[00:15] <pepper_haze> I want to turn off x server to install a video card
[00:16] <ZykoticK9> pepper_haze, "sudo service gdm stop" that will log you off what you are doing btw
[00:16] <JoeSomebody> anybody know about setting up remotes to control vlc, or do it a wireless kb/mouse
[00:16] <JoeSomebody> f
[00:16] <JoeSomebody> ?
[00:16] <pmow> pepper_haze, don't you have to turn off xserver when you turn off the machine?
[00:16] <JoeSomebody> where'd that f come from?
[00:16] <`mOOse`> I put it there
[00:16] <`mOOse`> sry
[00:17] <JoeSomebody> :)
[00:17] <pmow> JoeSomebody, maybe the wireless started working?
[00:17] <ubyserver> Does anyone recommend a software other than virtualbox?
[00:17] <JoeSomebody> i just received a used free kb/mouse
[00:17] <pmow> ubyserver, GParted works great.
[00:17] <JoeSomebody> never tried it yet
[00:17] <NateW> where would settings for qt be held?
[00:18] <JoeSomebody> probably a windows only thing driver-wise ?
[00:18] <goviel> ubyserver: vmserver is free from vmware
[00:18] <ZykoticK9> ubyserver, VBox 3.1.4 is available from Sun/Oracle
[00:18] <ubyserver> Thanx fellas
[00:19] <mylisto2> goviel: so I got virtualbox installed...and I setup the primary harddrive...
[00:19] <mylisto2> how do I get xp to the "harddrive" that virtualbox created?
[00:19] <mylisto2> 10,237 megs is 10 gigs right?
[00:19] <JoeSomebody> once i plug it in, would there be a way to detect it / list it, to find the right driver?
[00:20] <adalal> mylisto2: approx
[00:20] <ZykoticK9> mylisto2, install XP onto/into the VBox created VM
[00:20] <pmow> 9.997GB?
[00:20] <mylisto2> zykotick9: how exactly do I do that?
[00:20] <MilitantPotato> JoeSomebody: try dmesg in terminal after you plug it in
[00:20] <adalal> mylisto2: technically speaking 10240 MB = 10 GB
[00:21] <oLife> I mounted what I think is a upnp server under places, how can I look for it from another computer?
[00:21] <JoeSomebody> i found some stuff for setting up ati remote wonder, but i also have wireless kb/mouse
[00:21] <ZykoticK9> mylisto2, in the VM's setting select the Windows CD/ISO as the boot device, and boot - installs like normal
[00:21] <mylisto2> I open vbox...created a 10gig virtual ide hd...
[00:21] <goviel> mylisto2: if you start the machine , you can either select devices from the menu at the top and select images, or if its your 1st time running it will guide you into selecting the bootable source to install the OS
[00:21] <Quickard> sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst - there's nothing in the file.
[00:21] <JoeSomebody> ati remote wonder drivers and that are over my head
[00:21] <pmow> [begin base10 base2 debate]
[00:21] <JoeSomebody> MilitantPotato ok i will
[00:21] <ZykoticK9> !grub2 > Quickard
[00:21] <vegarn> I attempted a "do-release-upgrade" on a Jaunty system to upgrade to Karmic
[00:22] <vegarn> somewhere along the line, the ssh connection i used failed
[00:22] <ZykoticK9> Quickard, if you are using Karmic then menu.lst isn't there by default I believe, see the link for more details
[00:22] <vegarn> I managed to ssh back in again, is there someway I can resume where it left off?
[00:22] <mylisto2> does virtualbox automatically install to the "virtual harddrive" you have assigned to the machine?
[00:22] <MilitantPotato> vegarn: it should automatically
[00:22] <pmow> Have fun guys, I'm going to see if I can go at it alone
[00:23] <MilitantPotato> vegarn: all the packages should be stored still, at least
[00:23] <goviel> mylisto2: after your named, told it how much ram and disk space, you will click finish , then on virtual box there will be a list with the name of the machine you crated, select it and clik start at the top
[00:23] <vegarn> what do you mean automatically?
[00:24] <sabayonuser> does anyone know the terminal command to display info about your distro
[00:24] <sabayonuser> eg name version etc
[00:24] <MilitantPotato> vegarn: run the update command again and it will continue downloading packages
[00:24] <rww> sabayonuser: lsb_release -a
[00:24] <mylisto2> ok goviel: I was just worried about messing up something by installing xp - wasn't aware if vbox automatically installed it to the "assigned" "fake" hd
[00:24] <sabayonuser> rww: thanks
[00:25] <vegarn> Militant: it tells me there is no new release, attempting apt-get update tells me there's a lock
[00:25] <IdleOne> vegarn: you can only run one instance of apt at a time so close out synaptic
[00:25] <goviel> mylisto2: no problem, if you gave it a 20 gb HDD it will detect it and will not write anything out of that virtual drive
[00:26] <Losha> vegarn: the lock is probably leftover from when the ssh failed. Does it give the full path to the lock?
[00:26] <mylisto2> ok cool
[00:26] <MilitantPotato> vegarn: i'm not sure how you force apt to release it's lock, I've always rebooted
[00:26] <mylisto2> how big should the hd be for xp corp goviel:?
[00:26] <vegarn> Losha: yes, /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
[00:27] <Losha> vegarn: try sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock then...
[00:27] <m0ar> I want to get rid of the "loginscreen" and boot straight into a terminal login. When a user logs in, it logs into an X-session as usual, straight into gnome. How to?
[00:27] <vegarn> it seems the ssh session is still alive, and the bash process runs.. can't i somehow reenter into the old session?
[00:27] <goviel> mylisto2: 3.5+ gb for the OS then w/e else you are planning on installing. I have mine setup for 30 since I have buch of ther applications installed, up to you and your hard drive on your computer
[00:28] <mylisto2> ok cool
[00:28] <mylisto2> I picked 10gigs for now
[00:28] <pc_> karmic, cannot get python-visual to work. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/6L99MAYQ
[00:28] <MilitantPotato> vegarn: do you mean resume downloading packages without starting over?
[00:29] <mylisto2> what are the limitations of running windows os's in virtual box?  Are somethings not working yet?
[00:29] <vegarn> no, I mean take over the zombie bash shell session
[00:29] <Losha> vegarn: no, you can't pick up old ssh sessions. And it would be a huge security hole if you could. Best to kill it so it doesn't interfere with your new session. BTW: upgrading over a network connection is not recommended, for exactly this reason. When you upgrade the networking code, your connection can die...
[00:29] <BichoGRILO> oi pessoal, boa noite
[00:30] <BichoGRILO> alguem pode me ajudar?
[00:30] <ZykoticK9> m0ar, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/notes/gdm
[00:30] <Losha> !pt | BichoGRILO
[00:30] <BichoGRILO> tentei de tudo aqui, não encontrei referencia nenhuma
[00:30] <m0ar> ZykoticK9: WIll read, thanks
[00:31] <goviel> mylisto2: all depends on your cpu and ram, if you have a average computer it will not matter you can run anything in it and vbox will detect all of your hardware, usb devices (flash drives) need some tweeking
[00:31] <mylisto2> nice
[00:31] <mylisto2> seems like a better option that dual booting, is it?
[00:31] <m0ar> ZykoticK9: Nice!  Tho, how can i make sure i get into gnome when i log in?
[00:32] <chooch> hello. i have installed ubuntu 9.10 on to my hardware RAID0 array. it has it's own partition for root and 1 for swap. but i get no boot loader when i boot. it goes right into windows 7
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[00:32] <BHoward> mylisto2: i love VBox, I run Ubuntu as the host, Backtrack 4 for school, and Windows XP with no issues
[00:32] <mylisto2> backtrack?
[00:32] <ZykoticK9> m0ar, i though you wanted to NOT get into Gnome?  if you disable GDM you can start X by running "startx"
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> mylisto2: its another distro based on ubuntu which isnt supported here
[00:33] <BHoward> mylisto2: its a security distro
[00:33] <ojm> hi, I've got 2 machines. My desktop weatherthing says it's -10C and laptop says it's -5C... Which should I trust? :D
[00:33] <goviel> its is, I use remote software to help customers and only works in windows, so Instead of booting the computer, I open vbox and boot the virtual OS and run the software without having to ever boot into windows from linux
[00:33] <egi-cyber> 12
[00:33] <m0ar> ZykoticK9: When I boot i want to get to a console login. When I login as my user, I want to get into gnome. Get me? :)
[00:33] <Losha> mylisto2: for casual use it's very good. But there are some things you can't do from an emulator, i.e. access special hardware. It's also a tad slower. But there's nothing like it if you want to run multiple different distros
[00:33] <vegarn> I removed the lock file, and apt-get helpfully notifies that "sudo dpkg --configure -a" should be run... this resumed the update process
[00:33] <MilitantPotato> the one set to your location ojm
[00:34] <ojm> MilitantPotato, both are set to Rovaniemi
[00:34] <mylisto2> Losha: what kind of special hardware are you talking about?
[00:34] <ojm> That's why I bothered to join here, does it pick it's weather stations randomly or something?
[00:34] <ZykoticK9> m0ar, ya startx is what you want - if Gnome doesn't start by default you may need to create/edit a .xinitrc file in your home dir
[00:35] <Losha> mylisto2: well, anything that's a pci card, for example...
[00:35] <philipp__> hi
[00:35] <mylisto2> Losha: is it possible they will support that in the future?
[00:35] <m0ar> ZykoticK9: I create the file ".xinitrc" in ~, and remove GDM? Simple as that?
[00:35] <Oddbio> I'm having some trouble connecting to a samba share from the command line. I type   smbclient -L <IP_ADDRESS>   and then I enter the password which appears to work because it displays info about the shares, but I don't get the smb:> prompt that I should be getting. I have set the smbpasswd.  Any ideas?
[00:35] <chooch> I am not getting GRUB at startup. It is booting straight into Windows 7. I have the root partition and the swap partition. But no boot menu at boot up
[00:36] <Losha> mylisto2: probably not. There's a lot of hardware out there. How to choose what to support?
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> Oddbio: try mounting the share using fstab, you can then access it like any folder
[00:36] <oLife> Would anyone be willing to help me setup a upnp? I can't find a decent guide anywhere.
[00:36] <navysaylur> need help on setting up the effect on 9.10? 3-d and jelly windows not sure the tech name for it
[00:36] <mylisto2> true
[00:36] <bitsmart> hi folks, does anyone know where/when the host drive is mounted under /host? I want to add the noatime option to that mount command
[00:36] <Losha> mylisto2: is there some hardware you have that you need to support?
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> chooch: if you hold shift at boot, do you get the menu as you expect?
[00:36] <ZykoticK9> m0ar, just stop GDM from starting and see if everything is already working the way you want -- IF not, then you might need to read/research about the .xinitrc file -- i think you'd just need "exec gnome-session" in the file, but it's been a long time since i used one - so be sure to verify on the net first
[00:36] <mylisto2> nah not really...
[00:37] <chooch> never tried that
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> bitsmart: maybe in /etc/fstab
[00:37] <m0ar> ZykoticK9: Thanks!
[00:37] <chooch> I'll try that. TY
[00:37] <Losha> mylisto2: don't worry about it then...
[00:37] <mylisto2> I mainly want to use xp for certain software (flash creation, basic video production (maybe), and some other things
[00:37] <bitsmart> ActionParsnip, nope, tried that. the root fs is mounted there (/) but not /host
[00:37] <MJBoa> hey dudes, can anyone clear up the output of ps for me?
[00:37] <mylisto2> so it should be find for me
[00:38] <bitsmart> navysaylur, I think you mean compiz
[00:38] <budah> sup
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> bitsmart: thats all i can imagine, i dont use wubi
[00:38] <ariasbeep> hello
[00:38] <navysaylur> ok, i'm new to this how do i do that
[00:39] <navysaylur> 3-D desktop that is
[00:39] <ariasbeep> I need some help I want to install icetea plugin to chromium
[00:39] <ariasbeep> any idea
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> ariasbeep: symlink the plugin file in the firefox plugin folder to the chromium one
[00:39] <ZykoticK9> ariasbeep, i don't think it's currently possible to use icedtea or sun's java with chromium/chrome
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> ariasbeep: i use 64 java from www.java.com in chromium, works a treat
[00:40] <ariasbeep> I got that idea ActionParsnip
[00:40] <ariasbeep> but how
[00:40] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, really - wow, gotta look into that then!
[00:40] <michael__> After enabling advanced desktop effects, whenever I log out or reboot the setting reverts back to 'none'. I also lose my Compiz settings. Can anybody help?
[00:40] <MasterofPuppets> Hello guys. I've got a laptop here that my friend gave to me to fix. It had some minor HDD and mobo troubles but I've fixed them. However it won't boot to Windows. I've got it on live cd. Any way to fix the registry from here?
[00:40] <Trek> michael__ your system might not be able to handle desktop effects, check the graphics card's compatibility
[00:40] <ariasbeep> ActionParsnip how I install
[00:41] <ariasbeep> ActionParsnip I got java in firefox
[00:41] <jorge_> i need help cant get the screen resolution to go higher than 800x600 im using 50 inch tv as monitor
[00:41] <michael__> Trek, I have a capable graphics card.
[00:41] <ariasbeep> ActionParsnip where is the folder of icetea
[00:41] <Trek> michael__ do you have the correct drivers installed?  what type of card?
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: grab the 64bit file (not rpm) and stick it in /opt, run it with sudo then simply symlink /opt/java/64/jre1.6.0_XX/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so to /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
[00:42] <ZykoticK9> ariasbeep, ^^^
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> ariasbeep: look in the firefox plugins folder, you will see a link, you can run file against it to find where it links to
[00:42] <michael__> Trek, I don't know. I have been playing around with drivers for hours trying to get Compiz to work. Now everything is a mess and I need help. It's an ATI Radeon 4670 HD.
[00:42] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, thanks!
[00:42] <Trek> !ati | michael__
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: i hardly use the repos for plugins,they never work for me
[00:42] <michael__> Trek, already been there and done that.
[00:43] <Trek> michael__ you checked System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers?
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: if you use 64bit java and 64bit flash you dont need nspluginwrapper too
[00:44] <chooch> I am not getting a boot menu at start up. I have Windows 7 and it's little boot partition. I made my root partition and a swap partition. I see them all in Windows Disk Management. I tried holding shift at boot, but no boot menu. It boots straight into Windows. Help?
[00:44] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, i do run 64bit OS, never bothered with 64bit browser plugins before this minute :)
[00:44] <michael__> Trek, I have indeed. I have also installed drivers from the ATI website. I don't know which the system is using, the default Ubuntu drivers or the ones I downloaded. System > Admin > Hard Drivers says that FGLRX is activated but not currently in use.
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: make sure you remove the sun java packages, you will need to keep some as openoffice.org relies on it
[00:44] <Trek> michael__ activate the drivers in System > Admin > Hardware Drivers then
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: 64bit flash is in alpha but it works well
[00:44] <michael__> Trek, there is only an option to remove. No activate.
[00:45] <Trek> michael__ then your system might be a little messed
[00:45] <Trek> michael__ not sure how to fix your system then
[00:45] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, and what if i don't have any sun-java packages (as I am using the version that cannot be mentioned in this channel?)  should openjre be removed?
[00:45] <debrisplease> hey everyone. I'm having some difficulty with my wireless connections. I just installed karmic, and I can see the wireles connections through WiFi radar. It says I can connect, but I never get internet access...

WiFi Radar recognizes some signals, connects, but no internet access. Network Manager doesn't work at all...

[00:53] <ActionParsnip> debrisplease: the card is moot, its the CHIP you need to know

[01:04] <ActionParsnip> debrisplease: can you see accesspoints in the output of; sudo iwlist scan    ?
[01:04] <Typos_King> budah:     usually an 'iwconfig' will  show the wireless ones

[01:04] <budah> yeh thats Typos_King , thats what im looking for :D
[01:05] <debrisplease> ActionParsnip: I see a bunch of them, including the one I want to connect to.
[01:05] <ubyserver> What do i type if i need to search for a file
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> debrisplease: thats good, if you look at the ip of other devices which have an ip. most home grade routers use 192.168.0.x with the gateway being <IP_ADDRESS> and netmask <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:06] <flodine> has anyone had problem with freezing with ubuntu 9.10?

[01:08] <bitfox> I have a little defect in karmic... indeed it is already known...

[01:10] <budah> that can be done i think with vmfusion..
[01:10] <BichoGRILO> guys i've tried ppa for amsn
[01:10] <mylisto2> budah: I like xchat
[01:10] <flodine> karmic is garbage it keeps locking up on me ubuntu has never acted like this.
[01:10] <GeekSquid> !best | budah

[01:16] <bitfox> pavlo: I find a link: http://www.linuxcookbook.com/2008/01/encryption-with.html - I hope it will help you :-)
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> l000: same, if you want a later version number then you can add the mozilla ppa

[01:17] <bitfox> l000: how many extensions do you have?
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> l000: it does that
[01:18] <l000> bitfox : i have addons on firefox - downthemall
[01:18] <Typos_King> upgrade?   hehe
[01:18] <bitfox> l000: I suggest you to check you extensions weight
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> l000: that ppa also has firefox 3.6 and 3.7 too, personally i think they are all junk but if you like it go for it
[01:20] <ader10`> What do I do to get a screen resolution higher than 640x480
[01:20] <ZykoticK9> l000, amazingly running FireFox under wine is actually faster then the linux native version -- just saying
[01:21] <shaunlewis> ader10`: Where? In Gnome?
[01:21] <ader10`> yes
[01:21] <ader10`> in xorg.conf
[01:21] <Quickard> in my version of grub I do not have a menu.1st what do I need to edit to get windows to load before linux. any help please... I have searched all of the online help already
[01:21] <ZykoticK9> !grub2 > Quickard
[01:22] <bitfox> ader10`: if you have got nvidia card and nvidia utility installed you can set the options through nvidia-setting pannel
[01:22] <Quickard> I have already looked at that
[01:22] <ader10`> bitfox: No, I can't. The max that nvidia-settings shows is 640x480
[01:22] <ariasbeep> ActionParsnip I made a ln to icetea plugin and nothing
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> ader10`: setup video drivers right, what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga
[01:22] <Hebram> ZykoticK9:  For real?  Firefox in WINE is faster?  That seems sad.
[01:23] <ariasbeep> ActionParsnip it doesnt work on my chromium browser
[01:23] <Typos_King> Quickcard:     the file that has the 'labels' for grub, that used to be in menu.lst   are in /boot/grub/grub.cfg    which is changed each time update-grub is run, whenever that happens to be, that is where I do my changes, the global template is in /etc/defaults/grub
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> ariasbeep: then delete the link and try a different file, according to the link i gave it doesnt work yet
[01:23] <TheLeader> any idea when firefox-3.6 will be out for ubuntu (as a package)? it's been like a month maybe, ff-3.7 is coming soon yet no signs of ff-3.6 in the repo
[01:23] <Lord-Sid> hola necesito ayuda
[01:23] <ader10`> ActionParsnip: VGA compatible controller: nVidia NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]
[01:23] <ZykoticK9> Hebram, agreed - i actually tested to see with my own eye and it was true (that was before i switch to Chrome/Chromium, and have never been happier with a linux browser before)
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> Hebram: correct, weird huh
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> ader10`: great, run: gksudo jockey-gtk
[01:24] <Typos_King> Quickcard:     I should point out, I make my changes to grub.cfg and back it up, so whenever it gets overwritten, it doesn't btw, since I'm the one who runs update-grub, I can always refer to my changed version or put it back
[01:24] <Hebram> ZykoticK9:  I use Chromium myself.  It is a wonderful thing.  I can't remember the last time I launched Firefox.
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> chromium ftw :)
[01:24] <Quickard> Typos_King: so grub.cfg is the same thing as menu.1st?
[01:24] <ZykoticK9> Hebram, lol, when ever i open Firefox now i always try to search in the address field...
[01:24] <JimmyJ> I like chromium more and more.
[01:24] <Typos_King> chromium?   is that the same thing as google chrome?
[01:24] <JimmyJ> Google Chrome is based on it.
[01:24] <Typos_King> Quickcard, yes
[01:25] <ZykoticK9> Typos_King, Chromium is the OpenSource version that Google's closed source Chrome is based off of
[01:25] <Typos_King> Jimmy    does it have a lighter overhead than   say... konqueror?
[01:25] <ariasbeep> ActionParsnip Im investigating
[01:25] <bitfox> maybe that nvidia-settings panel doesn't recognize you monitor...
[01:25] <Hebram> ZykoticK9:  I am guilty of that too.  Then I get these opendns search options and ads. LOL
[01:25] <Quickard> ok, so I can sudo grub.cfg and change the order in which eash os is listed in the boot menu so windows is default
[01:25] <ariasbeep> ActionParsnip the file libmozjs.so doenst exist
[01:25] <ader10`> ActionParsnip: Alright, what do I do once the window pops up? I'm already using the recommended driver
[01:25] <Typos_King> Quickcard, yes
[01:25] <Quickard> thank you very much
[01:26] <Typos_King> Quickcard:    well, I use Geany editor... so -> sudo geany /boot/grub/grub.cfg;
[01:26] <robb> ader10`: you are using the nvidia binary drivers?
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> ariasbeep: then find the package containing ir
[01:26] <Typos_King> Jimmy    does it have a lighter overhead than   say... konqueror?
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> ader10`: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-173
[01:26] <ader10`> robb: Assuming those are the proprietary drivers, yes. I'm using NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173) [Recommended]
[01:27] <ader10`> Eh, how do I make a running process go to the background again
[01:27] <ader10`> I forgot
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> ader10`: if your monitor is oldish it may not be reporting refresh rates which the driver needs and you will need to run: sudo nvidia xconfig   and then reboot
[01:27] <robb> ader10`: and the nvidia settings applet doesn't work?
[01:27] <genii> ader10`: ctrl-D ?
[01:27] <ader10`> genii: that's it
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> ader10`: ok run nvidia-xconfig  if you have the 173 driver installed and reboot
[01:28] <genii> ader10`: fg later to foreground it again
[01:28] <ader10`> logging out and in again doesn't restart xorg?
[01:28] <trism> ctrl+d is eof, you want ctrl+z
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> ader10`: you can then use: gksudo nvidia-settings to configure the display (click save to x config file after setting up)
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> ader10`: you can use alt+k+printscreen
[01:29] <ader10`> Aw, he left
[01:29] <Hebram> Typos_King:  Yes.  Chromium is the same.  Chrome is Google's build.  Chromium is the open source bleeding edge version of Chrome.
[01:29] <bitfox> I must go now... bye bye
[01:29] <bitfox> :-)
[01:29] <Typos_King> Hebram:  does it have a lighter overhead than   say... konqueror?
[01:30] <Arsin> Hey, I broke my GDM in 9.10 I tried to change my login screen how would I fix that? It goes to "Low graphics mode" then sends me to tty1
[01:30] <Typos_King> I mean, I use opera10, and is certainly as good or better t han chrome, on overhead is not so bad
[01:30] <Typos_King> certainly much better than FF on overhead  hehe
[01:31] <budah> can u ssh into a vmware virtual machine? from the pc hosting it?
[01:31] <ader10`> Okay, restarting X didn't fix it
[01:31] <Typos_King> I've seen testings on chrome and opera, they seem about the same overhead wise
[01:31] <Arsin> ader10`:  Me?
[01:31] <yemino_> I have serius problem using skype (video+audio). Can anyone help me?
[01:31] <ader10`> Arsin: What?
[01:31] <Hebram> Typos_King:  I couldn't tell you.  I don't use Konquerer or KDE.  It isn't alot of overhead, though.  It is lightening fast to launch and browse, though.
[01:32] <Arsin> ader10`: lol nvm I have a problem that relates to the XServer sorta
[01:32] <ader10`> Why can't I get into any virtual terminals
[01:32] <Typos_King> Hebram:    better than chrome?   same thing?
[01:32] <ader10`> This is frustrating
[01:32] <Hebram> Yes.
[01:32] <ader10`> ctrl+alt+f2 = blank screen, no login
[01:33] <Typos_King> ader10:    I thought it was alt-f2-6
[01:33] <darkstar1> How can I increase the size of my home directory?
[01:33] <Typos_King> f2 through f6 that is
[01:33] <ader10`> whaaat, it's not ctrl+alt anymore?
[01:33] <Typos_King> increase the size of ~?
[01:33] <Hebram> Typos_King: Go try it out.  They have a .deb package built.  http://www.google.com/chrome
[01:33] <ader10`> all this stuff changed while I was gone :(
[01:33] <Typos_King> ...
[01:33] <Typos_King> heh
[01:33] <Typos_King> Hebram:   I've seen testings on chrome and opera, they seem about the same overhead wise
[01:34] <Typos_King> Hebram:  I mean, I use opera10, and is certainly as good or better t han chrome, on overhead is not so bad
[01:34] <darkstar1> Typos_King: YEs.. It seems somehow it was only 629Mb allocated to it
[01:34] <darkstar1> btw Opera is the best functional browser out there
[01:34] <Hebram> Typos_King:  Of course Chrome supports extensions now, so you can weigh it down to your liking.. lol
[01:34] <yemino_> can anyone help my. I have problems trying using skype. The sound it's to bad

[01:36] <shaunlewis> yemino_:  A lot of skype sound quality issues are related to your internet connection. Are there any clues is related to your ubuntu configuration?
[01:36] <yemino_> seanbrystone: my English is so bad?
[01:36] <darkstar1> I'm born again into Linux so I don't know how to check program overheads yet :)

[01:41] <darkstar1> Can I just ask what the issue is with program footprint?? With systems coming with bags of memory these days, anything running under 500Mb is like... Meh..
[01:41] <shaunlewis> yemino_: So you don't have any working sound, but you have a second ubuntu install on an another partition that works fine?
[01:42] <darkstar1> besides for what opera does and how it does it.... I'm happy to part with the memory it needs to get it's job done :)

[01:42] <yemino_> shaunlewis: I can listen with mplayer and totem
[01:43] <Hebram> darkstar1:  I might have to give Opera a spin soon.
[01:43] <darkstar1> Hebram: Well you should. It has lots of little functional things that set it apart from the rest

[01:45] <shane2peru> ok, got a small problem, a web site that I NEED to access is IE compatible only, when accessed with FF it is very messed up, is there a way to make the web site think that I'm using IE?  It is actually a Microsoft problem, not working correctly with FF
[01:45] <yemino_> shaunlewis:  I hace a win7 partition where I can use skype (and other pc with ubuntu). But with this laptop (hp pavilion) I have the problem
[01:46] <genii> ader10`: ctrl-alt-f1 ... login... then either: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop          or: sudo stop gdm     depending what *buntu version. To restart change "stop" to "start" in either command
[01:46] <ader10`> ugh, I can't switch to a virtual terminal
[01:46] <yemino_> shaunlewis: it's extrange. Some time I can listen, and sometime no. Now I cant use totem or maplayer.
[01:48] <shaunlewis> yemino_: Does it say anything when you start totem, or do you just have no sound?
[01:48] <darkstar1> I installed a program onto the system but I need to put an icon for it into the Accessories menu.. How can I accomplish this?
[01:48] <quietone> shane2peru: there is a firefox plugin for that. don't know it's name
[01:48] <shane2peru> ok, how about this, can anyone reccomend a non-mozilla web browser for me to try?  preferably in the repos?
[01:48] <shane2peru> quietone, yeah, I was thinking there was, but I too cannot remember the name
[01:48] <ZykoticK9> darkstar1, System / Preferences / Main Menu
[01:49] <yemino_> shaunlewis: mplayer and totem don't run. mplayer says "MPlayer interrupted by signal 2 in module: play_audio"
[01:49] <Ganang> hi , could someone tell me if ubuntu 9.04 uses gtk 2.0 themes as default?
[01:49] <darkstar1> shane2peru: try opera, or give me the link and I'll open it in my browsers and see
[01:49] <darkstar1> ZykoticK9: Thanks, I'll try that now
[01:50] <shane2peru> darkstar1, it is for an account of mine, so it requires password etc, the opening page works fine, it is after logging in
[01:50] <yemino_> shaunlewis: It's posible return to original configuration or something?
[01:50] <yemino_> shaunlewis: or reinstall something?
[01:50] <shane2peru> darkstar1, I don't think opera is in the regular repos is it?
[01:50] <quietone> shane2peru: a search in the addons for "IE" brought up 2 choices.
[01:51] <darkstar1> came as standard with my upgrade
[01:51] <parolang> Alright, I'm confused by the keyboard layout options.  I want alt to work as meta in emacs, and I want win-tab to switch windows in gnome.  Which option should I choose?
[01:51] <darkstar1> shane2peru: check if it's in your system with whereis
[01:51] <shane2peru> quietone, ok, checking that now, I guess that should have been my first stop. :)
[01:52] <shane2peru> darkstar1, oh, I think I added a repo for that a while ago, let me give that a try, thanks.
[01:52] <shane2peru> darkstar1, I know it isn't installed, but I should be able to, because I never removed the repo
[01:52] <shaunlewis> yemino_: you can kind of revert to default settings by doing an apt-get purge of ny troublesome software and reinstalling, but im not sure what you would want to reinstall
[01:53] <darkstar1> shane2peru: No problemo amigo, as a newbie to another (I'm guessing you are anyways) happy to share the info :)
[01:53] <Buggaboo> hi guys
[01:53] <shane2peru> darkstar1, I'm a seasoned vet, but will take the help from anyone, so long as it is sound. :)

[01:58] <ZykoticK9> jimi_, as an FYI, that is the version that is in Lucid
[01:59] <jimi_> ZykoticK9, What is Lucid? I am new to Ubuntu (came from 10 years of RHEL/Fedora)
[01:59] <ZykoticK9> jimi_, it's the next version of Ubuntu - coming out in 58 days
[01:59] <shane2peru> darkstar1, I guess I downloaded the deb before, I apparently don't have a repo for it, are you running Lucid?
[02:00] <darkstar1> |604|: generic recovery, I guess would reset the shell back to defualts, that's what I did when I baotched my GPU driver installation
[02:00] <|604|> i did it, it didn't
[02:00] <hikenboot> hopefully ubuntu will fix the sound problems by the time lucid comes out!

[02:02] <darkstar1> Software
[02:02] <|604|> thats good

[02:02] <darkstar1> yup..
[02:03] <|604|> but, why did it break the inodeS?..all i did was use rt kernal
[02:03] <ader10`> I'm switching to debian
[02:03] <shane2peru> darkstar1, well, it was worth a shot, but no go, stupid Microsoft
[02:03] <|604|> could shutting the laptop pwoer off with the power button break inodes?
[02:03] <|604|> like hard power off

[02:04] <asparatu> i had kernel panic on 8.04 LTS Server... is there way i could fix it?
[02:04] <shane2peru> darkstar1, no, I'm still on Karmic, I thought perhaps you were on Lucid, because you could install it.

[02:06] <yemino> I can listen and my contacs can listen me. But the sound its interrupt and we can't understand. Can anyone help me?
[02:06] <darkstar1> aahhh...
[02:06] <coz_> yemino,   as far as I know pulseaudio is still having issues on karmic
 if it gets too dumbed down, it will lose its integrity <-- If that's in response to me, it's already lost its integrity
[02:07] <coz_> yemino,  sometimes I notice it drop out quite frequently
[02:07] <shane2peru> darkstar1, that is ok, I will continue to try other browsers, installing Epiphany atm to see if that one works.
[02:07] <coz_> !pulseaudio
[02:07] <|604|> ader10` nah not really, someone cabn't jsut go from widnows to linux without being forced to learn something
[02:07] <darkstar1> |604|: Well I hope for your sake it works but generally you should never.... EVER power disrupt a Hard drive during major work, it could have really dmaging consequences
[02:07] <ader10`> |604|: I've used linux for many years
[02:07] <histo> If my cpu has the svm flag that means it supports virtualization?

[02:08] <yemino> coz_: you have any idea to fix my problem?

[02:09] <coz_> yemino,  there is one  #pulseaudio
[02:09] <yemino> coz_: thanks
[02:09] <histo> and since this is the first box i've had with virtualization support on the cpu. How does that effect my virtualbox experience?
[02:09] <darkstar1> ader10`: I'm getting some ubuntu venom from you at the moment :) What seems to be the problem? I'm a recent *nix born again so maybe I can lend a hand
[02:10] <stooj> Maybe someone in here can tell me. Updates are available via update-manager but not via apt-get update. Now, I think updates are held back because they might cause "issues", does update-manager do special extra stuff to prevent issues or something?
[02:10] <darkstar1> shane2peru: I know there is a way to trick IE only websites to thinking your browser is IE and I think in Opera or FF some option is built in to this effect
[02:11] <ZykoticK9> histo, assuming you have AMD, then yes - svm = virtualization in CPU.  In order to enable it in VBox, open the properties of your VM -- System / Acceleration tab and be sure Enable VT-x/AMD-V has a checkmark
[02:11] <darkstar1> shane2peru: I know this because I have solve an exact problem of such type ages ago
[02:11] <doltek> I am looking for a linux version of the blackberry messenger

[02:11] <shane2peru> darkstar1, ug, Have I mentioned, my extreme dislike for Microsoft, Epiphany did better, but still didn't work
[02:11] <shane2peru> darkstar1, yes, I will have to play with that later, thanks.

[02:12] <darkstar1> shane2peru: I hear you and I sympathise that's the reason I'm back on *nix
[02:12] <coz_> |underdog7|,  on gnome you want to opne gconf editor and I believe the nautilus listing   /apps/nautilus
[02:12] <coz_> let me check
[02:12] <stooj> coz_: Sorry - that was a typo. I meant apt-get upgrade
[02:12] <shane2peru> darkstar1, ooops, take that back, Epiphany did the trick, though stilled showed a million errors, was able to get the info I need, thanks.
[02:13] <darkstar1> ader10`: what are your system specs
[02:13] <|underdog7|> coz_: i checked that, but there is no option to hide _all_ icons.
[02:13] <zedd_> hello everyone
[02:13] <coz_> |underdog7|,  yeah   gconf-editor    /apps/nautilus/desktop
[02:13] <darkstar1> shane2peru: I will try and go into FF/Opera later and post you a solution. Just gotta remember what I did
[02:13] <coz_> |underdog7|,  or install ubuntu tweak  which does this via gui

[02:14] <ZykoticK9> |underdog7|, apps / nautilus / preferences - and if you uncheck "show_desktop" you won't see any icons (you'll need to use Compiz or alternative for wallpaper though)
[02:14] <zedd_> does someone know why gnome mixes font weight in several programs (e.g. gedit)?
[02:14] <shane2peru> darkstar1, that is ok, I got it with Epiphany.  appreciate the help, continue helping out the community!

[02:17] <trism> !tab | darkstar1
[02:17] <coz_> |underdog7|,  that is going to do something different than just not show icons  unless   you are using compiz and the wallpaper plugin
[02:17] <coz_> |underdog7|,  you will have no right click Desktop capabilities with that setting
[02:18] <darkstar1> doesn't work for me

[02:19] <Berzerker> you can use the dev version (version 5) which has native bookmarks sync through Chrome itself
[02:19] <b14ck> `m00se` I've just set it up. So the past hour I suppose.
[02:19] <b14ck> I'm switching from firefox to chrome
[02:19] <b14ck> Figured I'd setup xmarks
[02:19] <`mOOse`> b14ck - did it ever accept your upload?
[02:19] <b14ck> moose, no
[02:20] <`mOOse`> hmm
[02:20] <|604|> so when i try to load kde, it tells me/tmp is out of disk space, kde failed to start
[02:20] <Berzerker> b14ck, are you on 64 or 32
[02:20] <b14ck> I'm on 32
[02:20] <Berzerker> b14ck, http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html?dl=unstable_i386_deb
[02:20] <Berzerker> b14ck, use that, it has native bookmarks sync
[02:20] <Berzerker> works quite well
[02:20] <b14ck> Berzerker, thanks :)
[02:20] <Berzerker> b14ck, likewise, you can do sudo apt-get install google-chrome-unstable
[02:21] <zedd_> does someone know why gnome mixes font weight in several programs (e.g. gedit)? (depends on $LANG)
[02:21] <Berzerker> assuming you let it install the repo
[02:21] <|604|> so when i try to load kde, it tells me/tmp is out of disk space, kde failed to start
[02:21] <b14ck> I hope it installs *waiting*.
[02:21] <b14ck> ;)
[02:21] <`mOOse`> well, I stopped using them when they decided to let users see bookmarks publicly - next step, marketing spam - try delicious.com b14ck
[02:21] <coz_> zedd_,  I dont know  but you could go to ##linux channel if no one else here knows at this time of day
[02:21] <fliptop> |604|:  is /tmp on its own partition?
[02:21] <|604|> no
[02:22] <`mOOse`> or the native chrome bookmark server
[02:22] <|604|> ive never heard of /tmp its probably on the system parition with is 10gb
[02:22] <`mOOse`> :-)
[02:22] <zedd_> ##linux channel?
[02:22] <zedd_> i think it's an ubuntu problem
[02:22] <b14ck> Berzerker, awesome.
[02:22] <b14ck> I had no idea google had bookmark sync.
[02:22] <b14ck> <3
[02:22] <seanbrystone> m00se who lets bookmarks be viewed by the public? (sorry i didnt catch the first part of the convo )
[02:22] <fliptop> |604|: what are your partitions?
[02:22] <zedd_> when I set $LANG to zh_CN.UTF-8, many programs display varying font weights
[02:22] <|604|> system swap and data
[02:23] <|604|> 10g 2g 200+g
[02:23] <zedd_> for instance, numbers in gedit sometimes appear smaller, then sometimes bolder
[02:23] <darkstar1> |604|: I have a similar problem but with my root directory (or home I think)
[02:23] <zedd_> it's so strange ...
[02:23] <`mOOse`> seanbrystone - xmarks.com changed their whole paradigm last year to allow a stumbleupon-style of sharing popular bookmarks with it's registered users
[02:23] <histo> zedd_: or #gnome may have more people with answers. People were just trying to help you with another channel taht may have an answer since no one hear is answering.
[02:23] <fliptop> |604|: / is 10gb, and /home is 200+gb?
[02:24] <|604|> yes
[02:24] <histo> zedd_: can you tell me how I could duplicate what you are experiencing?
[02:24] <zedd_> well
[02:24] <zedd_> try this
[02:24] <zedd_> open a terminal
[02:24] <histo> k
[02:24] <seanbrystone> m00se ah, glad i never used xmarks, i always use Google or Delicious :D
[02:24] <fliptop> |604|: is / full?
[02:24] <zedd_> you can set the LANG variable to zh_CN.UTF-8
[02:24] <|604|> yes
[02:24] <|604|> WTF
[02:24] <zedd_> then, open gedit, and edit a source code file or something
[02:24] <`mOOse`> seanbrystone - it was a great tool until they did that
[02:24] <|604|> how did it fill?
[02:25] <darkstar1> how can I find out the partition sizes? so far I can't seem to find it, I mean Disk usage utility says my home is 629 MB which I know has got to be wrong
[02:25] <fliptop> |604|: let me go back and read your posts a sec...
[02:25] <`mOOse`> |604| - clean your tmp dir then
[02:25] <`mOOse`> install bleachbit
[02:25] <|604|> but ive had the os installed less than a week
[02:25] <seanbrystone> eeeks bleachbit is scary
[02:25] <|604|> how did i get 10gb?
[02:25] <histo> zedd_: how do I set a LANG varialbe again? echo?
[02:25] <`mOOse`> youtube probably
[02:25] <`mOOse`> flash files
[02:25] <MilitantPotato> darkstar1: gparted or 'fdisk -l'
[02:25] <|604|> also, i have three parititons, here it says i have 7
[02:26] <|604|> i have 4 systems called "none"
[02:26] <robb> FSLint is good too
[02:26] <|604|> 1.5gb each
[02:26] <MilitantPotato> darkstar1: you'll need to install gparted 'sudo apt-get install gparted' then 'gksu gparted' to run it
[02:26] <|604|> and the system drive says 9.2, 8.4 used,. 100% full
[02:26] <|604|> how is it 100%?
[02:26] <|604|> i did df -gh btw
[02:26] <|604|> df-h
[02:26] <darkstar1> MilitantPotato:  Thanks. I'm on it
[02:26] <sYskk> im trying to compile a C++ program and the compiler can't resolve the following include: #include <string>
[02:26] <|604|> df -h*
[02:27] <sYskk> do I need to install some package ?
[02:27] <robb> !ot | sYskk
[02:27] <the_dark_warrio> I've shared a folder in my ubuntu with windows, and there is an icon attached to the folder indicating this folder is shared. But when I restart, this icon disappears, although sharing still works. Why the icon disappears? How do I keep it there?
[02:27] <jochar> anyone here who can help me with bluetooth?
[02:28] <sYskk> thought it was ubuntu related
[02:28] <fliptop> |604|:  i read your ubuntufourms post, if you install a bunch of extra kernel stuff it could possibly go over 10gb...
[02:28] <|604|> i jsut did linux-rt
[02:29] <|604|> i doubt its many GB
[02:29] <histo> !bug > zedd_
[02:29] <|604|> well, how do i clean this drive?
[02:29] <jnmbk> Hi, ı have a working quallcomm gobi modem (/dev/ttyUSB0) but network manager doesn't show mobile broadband in list. any suggestions?
[02:29] <`mOOse`> bleachbit ;-)
[02:29] <fliptop> |604|:  you can try creating a gparted disk, boot to that and adjust your partitions
[02:29] <MilitantPotato> |604|: install gdmap
[02:29] <|604|> i don't know how to do either
[02:30] <MilitantPotato> |604|: that gives you a great way to see what files are using what space
[02:31] <fliptop> |604|: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
[02:31] <|604|> lol
[02:31] <|604|> this isn't the laptop
[02:31] <|604|> is there an apt-get command?
[02:31] <radek> siema
[02:32] <MilitantPotato> |604|: see how many large packages you have installed
[02:32] <darkstar1> Oh oh...
[02:33] <|604|> MilitantPotato how? i'm a noob man
[02:33] <darkstar1> I just refreshed devices in Gparted and I think it just unmounted everything!
[02:33] <MilitantPotato> |604|: in synaptic, go to preferences, settings, click Colums and Fonts, check Installed Size, hit OK
[02:33] <|604|> i'm in a console
[02:33] <|604|> MilitantPotato
[02:33] <|604|> remember, kde can'tload
[02:33] <MilitantPotato> No GUI?
[02:33] <jolaren> I have registered a domain name. I was thinking about setting up a mail server and I have a question. what happends if my server is down for a little while when receiving a imporante mail? will it just dissapear or reapparea?
[02:33] <tpw_rules> how do i apply images to the sides of the cube in ccsm?
[02:33] <|604|> i don't use gui anyways lol
[02:33] <MilitantPotato> |604|: ah, missed that part, sorry.
[02:34] <|604|> kde fails to laod because /tmp[ is full
[02:34] <tpw_rules> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/EarthDesktop?content=84070 <-- i wanna do that and the handy link is dead :(
[02:34] <coz_> tpt_,  open ccsm...cube reflection and deformation plugin
[02:34] <|604|> . /tmp
[02:34] <`mOOse`> every package you install gets stored on your hd...that can take up lots of space too
[02:34] <coz_> tpt_,  sorry
[02:34] <ujjain> How do I set Abiword as default rtf ediitor in Ubuntu?
[02:34] <michael__> How can I get my icons along the bottom like in this image? http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre2/55440-2.jpg
[02:34] <|604|> yeah but i haven't done 8gigs of stuff
[02:34] <histo> !who > `mOOse`
[02:34] <MilitantPotato> |604|: what sudo apt-get autoclean do spacewise |604|
[02:34] <MilitantPotato> |604|: also, do sudo apt-get clean
[02:34] <histo> |604|: delete everything in /tmp then
[02:35] <Nitsuga> jolaren, it will not deliver, and the sender server will try again after 5-30 minutos , if it cant's after a few attemptsthe sender will recieve a warning and the server will try again the folowwing day
[02:35] <MilitantPotato> then cd /tmp
[02:35] <coz_> tpt_,  then  the Appearacne pull down
[02:35] <jolaren> Nitsuga, is it always like that? my server isnt' down that much.. just thinking in-case
[02:35] <MilitantPotato> |604|:  then sudo rm -R /tmp/*
[02:35] <histo> |604|: everything in /tmp gets removed on reboot
[02:35] <|604|> apparently not
[02:35] <trism> ujjain: right click on an rtf file, go to properties/Open With and set the radio button to abiword
[02:35] <CosmicHippo> jolaren: whenever the server is down, unless there are backups, there's nothing on your end to receive it. So it's always going to be in the sender's court
[02:35] <MilitantPotato> histo: he's saying his / is full
[02:36] <Nitsuga> jolaren, it is like hat in most mail service. At least Gmail, hotmail, yahoo and "sendmail" do that.
[02:36] <histo> |604|: ahh / is full not /tmp right?
[02:36] <|604|> i did what you said MilitantPotato now what?
[02:36] <fliptop> |604|: /tmp is part of /, so if / is full there's no room to write to /tmp
[02:36] <darkstar1> WTF!!!! My linux swap is 18.67GB!! :-/
[02:36] <MilitantPotato> |604|:  sudo apt-get autoclean  followed by sudo apt-get clean
[02:36] <|604|> flip_N is right
[02:36] <jolaren> Nitsuga, CosmicHippo; Most big mail delievers does that so to speak or am I mistaken?
[02:36] <BHoward> jolaren: if you have a domain gmail will let you use their servers with your domain for free
[02:36] <ujjain> trism: Thanks! Like in Windows lol, but it does not list Text Editor (Abiword)
[02:36] <|604|> fliptop
[02:36] <Nitsuga> darkstar1, wow.  Is gparted up to the job?
[02:38] <MilitantPotato> |604|: Same, those are system mounts, ignore them.
[02:38] <histo> jolaren: yeah I use gmail servers for my domain email its called ....
[02:38] <|604|> ok
[02:38] <Nitsuga> jolaren, they gice you 30 mail accounts for you domain for free
[02:38] <|604|> they are normal?
[02:38] <MilitantPotato> |604|: yes.
[02:38] <zedd_> how to send a file?
[02:38] <histo> jolaren: and they store all the data etc... like 7gigs each person
[02:38] <MilitantPotato> |604|: filesystem: none on all
[02:38] <CosmicHippo> jolaren: Even my University has switched over to gmail servers! (though for a fee, since we have thousands of accounts)
[02:39] <Nitsuga> darkstar1, yes, gpaprted can do it. Just remember to check you /etc/fstab's UUID when it's done.
[02:39] <BHoward> jolaren: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/fnUywGW0
[02:39] <|604|> MilitantPotato yes
[02:39] <Nitsuga> jolaren, apps.google.com
[02:39] <|604|> hey it loaded
[02:39] <|604|> how do i clean it up?
[02:39] <histo> jolaren: yeah its in there its google apps for your domain
[02:39] <MilitantPotato> |604|: install gdmap
[02:39] <MilitantPotato> |604|: also, check "installed size" in synaptic for the larger packages, remove what you don't need
[02:40] <jolaren> histo, BHoward Nitsuga I just need an apps account to use this?
[02:40] <histo> Nitsuga: actually its up to 200 users per domain now
[02:40] <michael__> How can I get my icons along the bottom like in this image? http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre2/55440-2.jpg
[02:40] <|604|> i don't have synaptic
[02:40] <fliptop> |604|: i'd use gparted to decrease /home by 10 or 15gb and add that to /
[02:40] <Nitsuga> histo, that's great
[02:40] <MilitantPotato> |604|: install it.
[02:40] <histo> jolaren: yeah there is a free version and a paid version you juts want the free version
[02:40] <|604|> ok guys, i ahve 3 people talking to me
[02:40] <BHoward> jolaren: I have it setup with my personal account. didnt do any of the apps stuff
[02:40] <fliptop> |604|:  sorry
[02:40] <histo> jolaren: much easier than messing with your own mail server.
[02:40] <Nitsuga> jolaren, yes, it''s free for particulars and small busisness
[02:40] <|604|> MilitantPotato can you mp me?
[02:40] <|604|> pm*
[02:40] <ki4cgp> michael__, That is using an app named Awn
[02:41] <Nitsuga> jolaren, they give you 200 accounts for you domain with more that 7GB each one (and growing 4 bytes per second!)
[02:41] <Nikyo> #freebsd
[02:41] <goddard> how do you find out who runs an irc channel on free node?
[02:41] <jolaren> Nitsuga, histo: So I will not use my own mail-server at all? Kinda sucks not beein able to set it up exactly as I want but I guess it's better than nothing - can I atleast point the domain to my ssh server?
[02:42] <histo> jolaren: yes
[02:42] <cooper> goddard, /cs info channel.. but this isn't the place to ask
[02:42] <BHoward> jolaren: its just a very ez and reliable solution
[02:42] <histo> jolaren: they will only handle the mail side. You can still have your own web ssh or whatever
[02:42] <goddard> ya thanks though
[02:42] <histo> jolaren: you can also set up your own mailserver its just an alternative
[02:42] <Nitsuga> jolaren, you just have to set up you MX domains to google's servers and (optionally) a CNAME to a subdomain of yours.
[02:43] <jolaren> My god, this sounds so great.
[02:43] <U-b-u-n-t-u> is there a picture stripper (decreases the file size in mb) for ubuntu?
[02:43] <goddard> cooper that didnt work
[02:43] <Nitsuga> jolaren, also I personally find Gmail better than any desktop or web-based email clients out there. It even works offline!
[02:43] <histo> jolaren: like mail.par-excel.com
[02:43] <tpw_rules> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/EarthDesktop?content=84070 <-- i wanna do that and the handy link is dead :(
[02:44] <histo> jolaren: I have that and a start page setup for a buddy start.par-excel.com
[02:44] <AbuMaia> U-b-u-n-t-u: you could use Irfanview with Wine.  It's pretty good at shrinking image file sizes
[02:44] <Nitsuga> U-b-u-n-t-u, you can use Phatch to edit a bunch images at once.
[02:44] <histo> jolaren: but the webpage is on my own server.
[02:44] <jolaren>   my god :D
[02:44] <coz_> tpw_rules,  ok open ccsm
[02:44] <U-b-u-n-t-u> I will try both thanks
[02:44] <tpw_rules> coz_: uh huh
[02:44] <BHoward> jolaren: I setup a domain that goes to my personal server for a php proxy. Get around that pesky firewall at work and school easily
[02:45] <BHoward> jolaren: just an idea
[02:45] <coz_> tpw_rules,  go to the Cube reflection and Deformation plugin then the "Deformation" tab
[02:45] <GeekSquid> tpw_rules: do you have compiz working ... the icons on the bottom is Avant Window Navigator , which can be installed in ubuntu ,,
[02:45] <ZykoticK9> tpw_rules, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/multiple-compiz-backgrounds
[02:45] <tpw_rules> yeah, it's set to sphere and crap
[02:45] <coz_> tpw_rules,  the Deformation pull down choose sphere
[02:45] <KEROLiUKAS> http://pastehtml.com/view/5tk78lb.html is this page down or just me?
[02:45] <tpw_rules> ZykoticK9: that's what i wanted i think
[02:45] <coz_> tpw_rules,  then hit the "Back" button bottom left and go to the Effects category and enable 3d windows plugin
[02:46] <tpw_rules> yup
[02:46] <coz_> tpw_rules,  then back to the cube reflection and deformation plugin under the Reflection tab  the Reflecton mode set to "jumpy reflection"
[02:46] <histo> Was that link something sinister?
[02:47] <tpw_rules> ish
[02:47] <tpw_rules> it basically disabled the desktops
[02:47] <histo> that KER0LiUKAS
[02:47] <histo> posted
[02:47] <histo> looks like some irc thing
[02:47] <coz_> tpw_rules,  then you will also have to set a top and bottom cap image in the cube refelction and deformation plugin and then go to the Behavior pull down and play with the tick boxes
[02:47] <coz_> tpw_rules,  disabled the desktops?
[02:48] <tpw_rules> me?
[02:48] <tpw_rules> no
[02:48] <tpw_rules> that website said it would not allow nautilus to control them or place icons and useful stuff that desktops were designed for :/
[02:48] <eric_3> hi, i am trying to install a dual boot sys. and i am having trouble with GParted, the error  was a logic error saying bad sector
[02:48] <coz_> tpw_rules,  not sure what you mean
[02:49] <tpw_rules> NOTE/Warning: you will NOT be able to use your Desktop for icons/shortcuts/files with this procedure  --> http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/multiple-compiz-backgrounds
[02:49] <tpw_rules> that's the link ZykoticK9 gave me
[02:49] <ZykoticK9> tpw_rules, if you want Multiple wallpapers (you need to let Compiz manage wallpaper, thus no Nautilus icons on desktop)  if you don't need multiple backgrounds then you don't need to do anything on that page
[02:49] <eric_3> HDC possibly failed opcode: 0x0a
[02:49] <coz_> tpw_rules,  that is if you use the wallpaper plugin not the sphere
[02:49] <Cerbero> !paste
[02:50] <tpw_rules> coz_ and ZykoticK9 yeah, it requires a different earth face for every desktop
[02:50] <eric_3> HELP!
[02:50] <coz_> tpw_rules, ah then you need to disable the desktop under gconf editor   apps/nautilus/preferences   show _desktop
[02:50] <ZykoticK9> tpw_rules, then that link i gave you will give same/similar directions to the dead link from your origional gnome-look post
[02:51] <eric_3> Paninking!
[02:51] <agitdd99> hello, is there different channel for lucid?
[02:51] <coz_> tpw_rules,  and yes you will lose desktop icons and right click capabilities on the desktop
[02:51] <tpw_rules> aww :(
[02:51] <histo> !lucid > agitdd99
[02:51] <GeekSquid> !lucid  | agitdd99
[02:51] <ZykoticK9> agitdd99, ubuntu+1
[02:51] <Nitsuga> eric_3, I think your disk is bad.
[02:51] <max_big> hello, can anyone point me in  the right direction for a channel to go to if I have a quick "C Programming" question?
[02:51] <agitdd99> thanks
[02:51] <eric_3> what should i do to fix it?
[02:51] <Nitsuga> eric_3, you can try factory-erasing it (use Hiren's boot CD).
[02:51] <GeekSquid> max_big: #gcc
[02:51] <max_big> GeekSquid, thank you
[02:52] <Nitsuga> eric_3, before doing that check if you have some problem on another OS or distro
[02:53] <tpw_rules> coz_: so there's no way to have both icons and wallpaper?
[02:53] <eric_3> can i install ubuntu on an sys that already has windows partition with out messing with GParted?
[02:53] <Nitsuga> eric_3, it already has windows? so the disk is not broken :D
[02:53] <coz_> tpw_rules,  no not at this point without libeel and another library being updated or patched and there are no patches for that currently
[02:53] <eric_3> Yes
[02:54] <eric_3> (I think)
[02:54] <max_big> GeekSquid, hmm the channel is not letting me talk in it, is there another one you can reccomend?
[02:54] <tpw_rules> coz_: i got that link to work with a little url manipulation and it involves recompiling nautilus...
[02:54] <histo> tpw_rules: not multple wallpapers and icons. Not untill next version. I think lucid has a wallpaper switcher
[02:54] <Nitsuga> eric_3, I think that you have some trouble on detected disk geometry. When does gparted throw that error?
[02:54] <tpw_rules> but it preserves icons
[02:55] <coz_> tpw_rules,  not for current nautilus  but let me see the link
[02:55] <GeekSquid> max_big: you need to register your username with freenode.net /nickserv register <nick> emailaddress password ... to get started
[02:55] <tpw_rules> http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/viewtopic.php?t=6199
[02:55] <eric_3> when i try to run it, after the main menu pops up and i choose an option
[02:55] <coz_> tpw_rules,  not that is very old :)  it will not work
[02:55] <tpw_rules> :(
[02:56] <grkblood13> whats the hotkey to draw a perfect circle in gimp?
[02:56] <max_big> REGISTER bigras24<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[02:56] <Nitsuga> grkblood13, Ctrl
[02:56] <coz_> tpw_rules,  nautilus has to have a few libraries updated or changed or patched and as I said no one has bothered to do that for current nautilus...
[02:56] <max_big> weeek
[02:56] <Nitsuga> max_big, ups!
[02:56] <max_big> ?
[02:56] <max_big> Nitsuga, what was that?
[02:56] <Nitsuga> max_big, you have posted your email and password to the channel :S
[02:57] <Nitsuga> eric_3, main menu?
[02:57] <grkblood13> Nitsuga, no the hotkey that makes perfect squares and circles
[02:57] <cooper> o.o
[02:57] <grkblood13> where height and width stays the same
[02:57] <coz_> max_big,  first type   /msg nickserv then register etc
[02:57] <eric_3> Nitsuga: yes i am running it a a live CD.
[02:57] <Nitsuga> eric_3, so you can't boot the live-cd?
[02:58] <eric_3> Nitsuga: The disk makes a menu pop up and i tell it which option to run
[02:58] <eric_3> Nitsuga: No, i can boot it, it's just that after i choose and option and it trys to load
[02:58] <|604|> why do i have 3 log files in linux that are 1.46gb?
[02:59] <Nitsuga> eric_3, can you choose the option to run ubuntu without making changes?
[02:59] <Jordan_U> |604|, Which are they?
[02:59] <histo> |604|: what are they logs files for?
[02:59] <|604|> kern.log.1 messages.1 syslog.1
[02:59] <|604|> in /var
[02:59] <PyjamaSpank> grkblood13: shift is it not? but you still need to keep it kind of on target
[02:59] <tpw_rules> coz_: cool, i got it to work. can i control gconf-editor via command line?
[03:00] <coz_> tpw_rules,  you mean open gconf
[03:00] <eric_3> Nitsuga: i have 2 discs, one with ubuntu 9.10 and another with GParted on it. I am getting errors with GParted disc
[03:00] <grkblood13> shift doesnt do it either
[03:00] <eric_3> Nitsuga: I have not tried the Ubuntu disc
[03:00] <Nitsuga> eric_3, you can run gparted from the ubuntu CD :)
[03:00] <tpw_rules> coz_: no, i want to make a shell script to easily dis/enable it
[03:00] <histo> |604|: whats your uptime?
[03:01] <|604|> histo, the os has been installed a week
[03:01] <quontrex> last august
[03:01] <manualoverride> yo
[03:01] <RxDx> como inicio o Xserver dps de dar um kill nele?
[03:01] <|604|> and was never up for more than 12 hours
[03:01] <|604|> its a laptop
[03:01] <eric_3> Nitsuga: K, can you run me through the setup while i am doing it? You know, help me as we go.
[03:01] <Nitsuga> eric_3, start the live enviroment with the run without making changes option and go to System -> Administration -> Gparted Partiiton Editor
[03:01] <coz_> tpw_rules,   oh  well the easy way would be to install ubuntu tweak  ...i believe it has that option somewhere in the gui  but yes there are commands for gconf...I dont know them off hand though
[03:01] <manualoverride> whats good
[03:01] <Nitsuga> eric_3, now I have to go, it's late, but you can ask anyone in the channel :)
[03:02] <ZykoticK9> tpw_rules, you can use the gconftool-2 to script changes to gconf
[03:02] <coz_> ok be back a bit later hopefully
[03:02] <Nitsuga> eric_3, good luck !
[03:02] <fliptop> |604|:  logfilename.1 - usually a rotated log file, probably done once per week
[03:02] <histo> |604|: thats odd maybe someone else would know why. unless you ahve a bunch of errors juts dumping there.
[03:02] <Jordan_U> tpw_rules, gconftool
[03:02] <eric_3> Nitsuga:  Thanks
[03:02] <tpw_rules> oh, you can do stuff to gconf via the command line
[03:02] <|604|> suppose i could open them
[03:02] <|604|> and see what the logs are filled with
[03:03] <tpw_rules> ish...
[03:03] <histo> |604|: or atleast tail them and see what the last few entries were
[03:03] <|604|> how do i tail them?
[03:03] <|604|> it would take 6 days to open them
[03:03] <PyjamaSpank> grkblood13: expand from centre, then shift
[03:03] <Jordan_U> |604|, Less and other command line tools should have no problem with multi gig text files, not too sure what a GUI editor like gedit would do with it though.
[03:04] <|604|> i can try nano
[03:04] <|604|> brb
[03:04] <PyjamaSpank> grkblood: that doesn't work either, sorry
[03:04] <tpw_rules> no don';t
[03:04] <eric_3> Hey, is anyone willing to run me through the process of creating a dual boot sys. The sys already has a windows partition that covers all but 4-5gb.
[03:05] <grkblood13> ok, now how do i save my selection so i can use the same selection again
[03:05] <God2> Hello?
[03:05] <PyjamaSpank> grkblood13: fixed aspect ratio, and set the ratio
[03:05] <Nitsuga> !hello | God2
[03:05] <God2> I have never used an irc client before
[03:06] <Nitsuga> God2, this is a good place to start ;)
[03:07] <ZykoticK9> tpw_rules, to turn off (gconftool-2 --set "/apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop" --type bool "false") to turn on (gconftool-2 --set "/apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop" --type bool "false") just everything inside the () but not the ( or ) itself
[03:08] <BGL-[2]> is there a way to overclock my eeepc w/out having to install a new kernel?
[03:08] <dmsuperman> After resizing my ext4 FS using resize2fs I wish to shrink the partition appropriately. I think there's a command that commonly follows resize2fs to do exactly that, what is it?
[03:08] <God2> Why would you want to overclock it?
[03:09] <detrix> Can someone here walk me through in setting up samba so I can access a windows laptop.  I just installed it, but what configuration changes are necessary for me to see a windows computer on my home network???
[03:09] <BGL-[2]> it's actually pretty common, the cpu is intentionally underclocked by oem
[03:09] <God2> Really?
[03:09] <BGL-[2]> yes
[03:09] <jolaren> Nitsuga, histo: Is it possible to link the g-mail account login or however you login to the mail adress you pointed to the Google Apps?
[03:09] <Jordan_U> dmsuperman, fdisk, but be careful.
[03:09] <ZykoticK9> tpw_rules, sorry for the second on you need to use "true" not "false"
[03:09] <fliptop> BGL-[2]:  what model eeepc?
[03:09] <BGL-[2]> the 900
[03:09] <jolaren> Nitsuga, histo: I mean so I can point them to my webpage.com
[03:10] <God2> What's the default clock rate on a 900?
[03:10] <dmsuperman> Jordan_U: Of what?
[03:10] <yemino> how can I fix the problem: "GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 7D2C7A23BF810CD5Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/gwibber-dayly/ppa/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  404  Not Found"
[03:10] <michael__> A good media player for Linux?
[03:10] <BGL-[2]> i think it's 800 something
[03:10] <Nitsuga> jolaren, yes of course. You have to make a CNAME record to google's servers
[03:10] <Jordan_U> dmsuperman, Destroying your partition table.
[03:10] <Nitsuga> everything is in the help
[03:10] <IdleOne> michael__: VLC
[03:10] <dmsuperman> Jordan_U: I'm not looking to do it manually, I was specifically asking about a command that smartly recognizes the unused space in the partition after a resize of the FS
[03:11] <dmsuperman> Jordan_U: Otherwise I'd just go into parted/fdisk/cfdisk/etc
[03:11] <dmsuperman> I want to make sure it's done right and I know I don't know enough about blocks and sectors and partitions tables to get it exactly right
[03:11] <BGL-[2]> oh it's 900mhz
[03:11] <Jordan_U> dmsuperman, Why don't you use gparted then?
[03:11] <BGL-[2]> been a while since i looked at the actual clock
[03:11] <God2> What's 900MHz?
[03:11] <jolaren> Nitsuga, I understand.. so the mail login will be hosted by google on my domain.. that's insanenly sweet.. I might move my webhotel which I pay for mail hosteage to google
[03:11] <dmsuperman> Jordan_U: I'm not in a GUI
[03:11] <agitdd99> yemino: you got it wrong link correction --> http://ppa.launchpad.net/gwibber-daily/ppa/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz
[03:12] <BGL-[2]> i've been overclocking it for a couple years in windows
[03:12] <God2> I overclock my windows computer too
[03:12] <agitdd99> yemino maybe you should run to download keyserver first
[03:12] <God2> Why is my name grey?
[03:12] <BGL-[2]> now i'm in 9.10 remix and want to overclock again
[03:12] <jolaren> Nitsuga, I'm just waiting for my accname/password for my domain and I'll give it a go! I'm super thrilled
[03:12] <`mOOse`> it's raining God2
[03:13] <IdleOne> God2: it is just the default for Xchat to put your nick in grey
[03:13] <Nitsuga> jolaren, you can import the emails from you webhotel before shutting it down via POP3/IMAP, and again, for free
[03:13] <God2> How do I change it?
[03:13] <IdleOne> God2: when someone else says your nick then it is shown to you in red probably
[03:13] <IdleOne> God2: in the prefs somewhere
[03:13] <God2> It is
[03:14] <agitdd99> yemino: run this on terminal --> sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 72D340A3

[03:16] <IdleOne> b41775t1y45y6: several hundred probably thousands of GB
[03:17] <IdleOne> more like thousands
[03:19] <sixofour> its taking forever to open these logs
[03:19] <sixofour> i'm |604| btw
[03:19] <scribawf> How do I recover my Grub2 menu after  reinstalling Windows XP?
[03:20] <sixofour> is there any way to put a hard size limit on all log files?
[03:20] <Jordan_U> sixofour, Even with "less filename.log" ?
[03:20] <Jordan_U> !grub2 | scribawf
[03:20] <sixofour> less?
[03:20] <melik> scribawf: http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html
[03:20] <sixofour> i just did nano /var/log/kern.log.1
[03:20] <Jordan_U> sixofour, It's a utility for viewing files. Try it.
[03:21] <scribawf> Jordan_U; melik:  Thank You will check it out
[03:21] <Mar> I need help I'm new to ubuntu I have a windows application I need for my work I need to install it wont work for meanyone?
[03:22] <melik> Mar: what application
[03:22] <Mar> Pampered partner
[03:22] <IdleOne> b41775t1y45y6: seems I was completely off the mark. see http://www.howtoforge.com/dvd_images_of_ubuntu_repositories
[03:23] <leming> how can ipull the serial number out of a computer that is running ubuntu? all the case stickers are gone?
[03:23] <IdleOne> b41775t1y45y6: you will need to edit that first command for the version of ubuntu you want but should work
[03:23] <sixofour> Jordan_U: the logs don't have anything of note
[03:23] <melik> Mar: have you tried out 'wine' yet?
[03:23] <g8tor_> hello all
[03:23] <Mar> yes but it wont work
[03:23] <sixofour> is there a way to hardlimit file sizes?
[03:23] <sixofour> for logs
[03:24] <melik> yeah not much you can do there Mar, sorry.
[03:24] <melik> linux can't run windows binaries :/
[03:24] <sixofour> get wine
[03:24] <sixofour> then it can
[03:24] <Mar> I installed wine and Linux Im stuck
[03:24] <melik> sixofour: wine is buggy as hell.
[03:24] <sixofour> yeah, in 1992
[03:24] <Jordan_U> Mar: What application?
[03:24] <sixofour> what is he trying to run?
[03:24] <Azelphur> melik: no it's not, I play games in wine every day
[03:24] <melik> in 2010 too.
[03:24] <Mar> it says the application is supported by wine but it wont work?
[03:25] <rgmatos> oi
[03:25] <Jordan_U> Mar: or more importantly, what does it do?
[03:25] <Azelphur> Mar I suggest heading over to #winehq, the wine support channel
[03:25] <sixofour> alsa is worse than wine, we still use alsa
[03:25] <aLemmer> Nah, WINE is wonderful if you're not retarded.
[03:25] <rgmatos> hello
[03:25] <sixofour> [well, in use oss..lol]
[03:25] <xci> exactly
[03:25] <rgmatos> hello, how are you?
[03:25] <aLemmer> I just finished playing Fallout 3 with WINE.
[03:25] <rgmatos> speak portuguese
[03:25] <xci> aLemmer: whoa, did it work well?
[03:25] <Mar> its pampered partner shoud I delete linux then
[03:26] <Jordan_U> !pt | rgmatos
[03:26] <xci> I've had minor problems with almost every program I've tried to run with wine
[03:26] <xci> but still, I've been usually very happy
[03:26] <aLemmer> Yes, it worked quite well.
[03:26] <sixofour> is there a way to hardlimit file sizes for logs?
[03:26] <sixofour> linux made 3 1.46 gb system logs
[03:26] <xci> and I am also aware that you can configure your wine behaviour to make some bigger programs work
[03:26] <Souljah> man logrotate
[03:27] <Souljah> sixofour: man logrotate
[03:27] <aLemmer> The frame rate sucks compared to Windows', but it's still >60 FPS, which is all I care about.
[03:27] <xci> but I think that some programs are just totally unusable with wine
[03:27] <iicsa> I'm looking for a good soundcard (really one that captures decent sound) to record screencasts. Anyone have a recommendation? My onboard audio is terrible, and cant get my SB Audigy card to work.
[03:27] <Mar> the application orders products from the internet and tracks orders that sort of stuff
[03:27] <delimax> iicsa: i have my sb audigy working
[03:28] <Mar> ok wine support channell
[03:28] <melik> if i were dependant on a windows app, i wouldn't use wine.
[03:28] <melik> Jordan_U: his app was pampered partner
[03:28] <melik> it has a bronze rating on wine
[03:28] <iicsa> delimax, u running 9.10? and using pulseaudio?
[03:28] <GeekSquid> iicsa: I am really partial to the MAudio Delta44 ... a little expensive, but does a really nice job, I use it at a couple of radio stations for streaming
[03:29] <delimax> iicsa: yes
[03:29] <sixofour> Souljah: i'm not trying to clear logs daily, i'm trying to set logs to a 100mb size limit
[03:29] <melik> Mar: yes. if you are dependant on that application; might as well.
[03:29] <melik> only use linux when it suits your needs.
[03:29] <sixofour> so onc eit gets to 100mb, it deletes itself or the oldest entries or how ever it works
[03:29] <sixofour> melik so how do you learn linux?
[03:29] <Souljah> your ever been into shellskripting?
[03:29] <sixofour> it will never meet the needs for those who don't know how to use it
[03:29] <iicsa> delimax, sound output is working fine for me, just not input. I've tried tons of things w/ no luck (not muted). Did you have to get newer ver of alsa?
[03:30] <sixofour> me Souljah?
[03:30] <melik> sixofour: then oh well.
[03:30] <Souljah> yep
[03:30] <Lachance> sixofour, Nicely said
[03:30] <sixofour> Souljah:  no
[03:30] <Souljah> seems like a script of 5 lines in your case
[03:30] <iicsa> GeekSquid, how is the quality from the mic input?
[03:30] <Lachance> This is the reason why there are many different Operating Systems and many different distros of these operating systems, guys. Use the one that fits you.
[03:30] <Souljah> sixofour: try get used to it
[03:30] <melik> exactly Lachance
[03:30] <fliptop> sixofour:  that pretty much stands for any o/s
[03:30] <GeekSquid> iicsa: crystal clear, although it is a line input and requires a preamp
[03:30] <delimax> iicsa: oh as for input i haven't tested. i know that the kernel supports the sb audigy though
[03:31] <sixofour> Souljah:  my system made GB sized logfiles, i couldn't even boot , so i need to cap them at 10mb
[03:31] <melik> i hate people that push linux down other people's throats
[03:31] <Souljah> its not bootable?
[03:31] <sixofour> 100mb*
[03:31] <sixofour> i had to delete stuff in order to bootn
[03:31] <sixofour> kde wouldn't load
[03:31] <iicsa> GeekSquid, ur gonna laugh at me - what is a preamp? is that something i can "turn on"/control with software (via volume control or something)
[03:31] <Lachance> melik, Well... I personally think Linux, well - virtually any Unix-style system, is the "perfect" system. But that's MY opinion. =P
[03:31] <GeekSquid> iicsa: and that is coming from an Audio Engineer with 20 years of professional expierence
[03:31] <melik> i agree too.
[03:31] <fliptop> sixofour:  you should increase your / partition size to 20 or 25gb
[03:32] <sixofour> why?
[03:32] <sixofour> so the logs can be bigger? lol
[03:32] <fliptop> sixofour: or create a separate partition for /tmp or /var/log
[03:32] <sixofour> they went to 1.4 gb in like 10 minutes
[03:32] <Souljah> sixofour:  so, get a live sytem ( for example usb) and secure the whole /var/log directory
[03:32] <Plinker> Its a pre-amp to boost signal AF
[03:32] <delimax> Lachance: agreed!
[03:32] <sixofour> what Souljah?
[03:32] <sixofour> i jsut need to tell linux not to allow them to get big
[03:32] <melik> no Lachance
[03:32] <sixofour> better eyt, if i could turn logging off , even better
[03:33] <melik> its the perfect OS for us.
[03:33] <Souljah> you cant boot the sytem for now, right?
[03:33] <GeekSquid> iicsa: a preamp takes the Low impedance signal from the microphone and turns it into a higher voltage, any good mini-soundboard will do, you can get one for less than $100
[03:33] <sixofour> yes Souljah
[03:33] <melik> but a music producer, its a POS system.
[03:33] <fliptop> sixofour: log files don't work that way, what you have to do is protect the rest of your partitions if a process starts to run away and fill up /var/log
[03:33] <melik> piece of sh**
[03:33] <sixofour> but / is still 94% full
[03:33] <Plinker> iicsa:  In other words it amplies it for the next stage
[03:33] <melik> partly because it doesn't provide good programs/tools for music producing
[03:33] <Souljah> so, boot it with a live sytem and clear the /var/log directory
[03:33] <iicsa> GeekSquid, ok understand. I'm just doing simple screencasts - not looking to spend more then like $70/80 bucks....
[03:33] <sixofour> i am sure you can limit log files
[03:33] <melik> or the programs/tools provided don't come to par with the programs/tools found on other systems
[03:33] <Lachance> melik, delimax the fact still stands that I would not recommend Unix/Linux unless I thought the person was capable of using it. I would never install it on another's system unless I knew they could handle any issues that arise, as well.
[03:34] <sixofour> Souljah:  i can clear it right now, no issue
[03:34] <sixofour> but for future reference i want to limit logging
[03:34] <melik> Lachance: my mom runs linux.
[03:34] <Lachance> My brother-in-law installed Ubuntu when I recommended it. I still hear about how 'I' destroyed his computer. >_>
[03:34] <Souljah> better backupit now, on usb p.ex. and then next step
[03:34] <sixofour> lol
[03:34] <melik> she likes it, she uses it for email + web browsing + youube
[03:34] <rinaldo> helloooo
[03:34] <melik> youtube*
[03:34] <delimax> Lachance: although that's probably true, Ubuntu is getting so easy to use that pretty much anyone could be productive with it
[03:34] <sixofour> Souljah:  back uo what?
[03:34] <sixofour> up
[03:35] <Souljah> sixofour: the logs?
[03:35] <sixofour> i don't need them
[03:35] <sixofour> i'm gonna delete them alkl together
[03:35] <Lachance> delimax, I like Fedora and Mint a lot as well. When I do recommend Linux I usually recommend Mint, then Ubuntu, then Fedora. (In order of difficulty)
[03:35] <Souljah> so, rm -rf /var/log/
[03:35] <Souljah> who cares
[03:35] <sixofour> i know lol
[03:35] <Lachance> They're all top-notch distros IMO.
[03:35] <Souljah> why u log then, when you dont need em
[03:35] <sixofour> Souljah:  i can delete the,\m ,thats not an issue
[03:35] <sixofour> lol
[03:35] <Souljah> :)
[03:35] <melik> basically what i'm trying to say is if Mar needs that windows programs for work.. he shouldn't run linux.
[03:35] <delimax> Lachance: i see. haven't used mint
[03:35] <sixofour> soulja, linux makes logs itself
[03:36] <sixofour> i want linux to limit those log files
[03:36] <Souljah> you can turn it of, if youlike
[03:36] <GeekSquid> iicsa: buy this, my reccommendation .. all in one package http://www.bswusa.com/proditem.asp?item=C-1U
[03:36] <sixofour> how/
[03:36] <Souljah> yeah,i see
[03:36] <sixofour> how? *
[03:36] <Souljah> umm
[03:36] <Lachance> delimax, It's the same thing as Ubuntu, but with all the restricted packages already installed. (DVD, MP3, etc.) It's much more "noobie" friendly.
[03:36] <Souljah> sec
[03:36] <aLemmer> Hey, what exactly does the "Extended IDE Drive" setting in BIOS do? I know what an extended IDE drive is, but does this setting just allow/disallow Ext. IDE drives?
[03:36] <Lachance> melik, what app?
[03:37] <melik> i forgot Lachance, it had a bronze rating on wine.
[03:37] <melik> (implying it runs poorly)
[03:37] <sixofour> logs are deleted
[03:37] <melik> Lachance: do you run ubuntu?
[03:37] <Lachance> melik, I see. I've never gotten Wine to run properly anyway. I avoid using it like the plague. >_>
[03:37] <Souljah> sixofour: please holdon a sec
[03:37] <melik> same.
[03:38] <Souljah> i wast just clicking through an not reallyy ready yet to give support, especially on english
[03:38] <sixofour> ./ is now 3.5gb
[03:38] <Lachance> melik, Yes, Ubuntu was my first Linux and I still use it as my primary distro.
[03:38] <Souljah> lol
[03:38] <melik> i used to run ubuntu, but got sick of re-installing a new release.
[03:38] <sixofour> 6.5gb free
[03:38] <sixofour> or so
[03:38] <qwertyjustin> hey - i saw a buddys ubuntu the other day - and he has a really neat window manger where he can turn all his windows open, into 4 small equally seperate windows on his desktop
[03:38] <iicsa> GeekSquid, awesome - and that takes sound card totally out of the picture. Drivers work in ubuntu?
[03:38] <Lachance> melik, What're you running?
[03:38] <melik> (cuz i like staying bleeding edge)
[03:38] <melik> arch
[03:38] <qwertyjustin> what is that that does that?
[03:39] <Lachance> qwertyjustin, Compiz has an effect like that, I think. You need to install the Compiz manager. (I think, I'll check for you...)
[03:39] <GeekSquid> iicsa: yes, berhinger has always been good to me
[03:39] <iicsa> GeekSquid, perfect. thanks so much for your help.
[03:39] <GeekSquid> iicsa: you might need to uninstall pulseaudio to make it work
[03:39] <qwertyjustin> yeah i noticed i had compiz running as a service on 9.10 - any idea how to rip open the settings for it
[03:39] <qwertyjustin> ?
[03:40] <iicsa> ok yea so I tried that when trying to get my SB audigy to work. What did you install in its place?
[03:40] <Souljah> sixofour: so every some 5minutes you run out of memory?
[03:40] <Lachance> qwertyjustin, Open your Applications->Ubuntu Software Center and search for Compiz
[03:40] <Souljah> try first kill syslogd
[03:40] <GeekSquid> !ccsm | qwertyjustin
[03:40] <sixofour> Souljah:  wha- ?
[03:40] <Lachance> melik, I've never used Arch, but I've heard lots of good things. =)
[03:40] <Souljah> umm
[03:40] <Lachance> Thanks GeekSquid =D
[03:40] <iicsa> GeekSquid, when i removed pulseaudio, and rebooted - none of my apps would work (like even simple sound recorder) cuz it said it did not detect a sound device.
[03:40] <sixofour> sixofour@MrBlowtatoes:~$ kill syslogd
[03:40] <sixofour> bash: kill: syslogd: arguments must be process or job IDs
[03:41] <Souljah> killall syslogd
[03:41] <magn3ts> Can I change from 32bit ubuntu to 64bit in place?
[03:41] <sixofour> syslogd no process found
[03:41] <qwertyjustin> thanks
[03:41] <Jordan_U> magn3ts, Not easily
[03:42] <melik> Lachance: arch is great.
[03:42] <Souljah> sixofour: ps -e | grep syslogd
[03:42] <GeekSquid> iicsa: you can force it to use alsa, you shouldn't have to, however the microphone will detect nicely ,,, the other way would be to record with audacity and cut the audio back together with your screencast in avidemux
[03:42] <magn3ts> Jordan_U, :{ is /home safe to leave in place and then just upgrade / ?
[03:42] <melik> Lachance: install once, configure once
[03:42] <Souljah> sixofour: get the jobID
[03:42] <Souljah> and: kill -9 ID
[03:42] <sixofour> sixofour@MrBlowtatoes:~$ ps -e | grep syslogd
[03:42] <sixofour>   838 ?        00:01:27 rsyslogd
[03:42] <melik> then just keep updating your packages
[03:42] <Souljah> kill -9 838
[03:42] <Lachance> melik, Debian is similar. I really love Debian, but the current release is really showing it's age.
[03:42] <Jordan_U> magnetic_, If by upgrade you mean re-install, yes.
[03:43] <Souljah> (sudo)
[03:43] <melik> yeah arch just stays bleeding edge
[03:43] <sixofour> ok
[03:43] <sixofour> done
[03:43] <Souljah>  ps -e | grep syslogd again, too see if it comes upagain
[03:43] <Souljah> (i think it should)
[03:44] <iicsa> GeekSquid, I'm just thinking in regards to trying to get my SB Audigy SE to try to work. would save me $70. After i remove pulseaudio, how do you "force" alsa?
[03:44] <sixofour> Souljah:  lots of them are coming up, i am killing them
[03:44] <SaratogaCx>  Hi, I have a problem with Wireless..  My machine used to work and at some point it stopped getting a dhcp address from my router.  I can see my router other computers can connect to it (android phone, windows pc etc.) w/out issue but dhclient commands try and fail.  Any ideas where I can start looking to fix this?
[03:45] <Souljah> lots of them o_0
[03:45] <sixofour> 6 so far
[03:45] <Souljah> crap
[03:45] <Souljah> other solution... you say u NEVER need that logs (think about what you say)
[03:45] <Jordan_U> SaratogaCx, Does setting up a static ip work?
[03:45] <sixofour> i don't need them
[03:45] <sixofour> why do i?
[03:45] <SaratogaCx> I havn't tried that.
[03:46] <GeekSquid> iicsa: If I were you I'd look around and do more research, I know I have setup an Audigy, I just don't remember how, I go with the prostuff anyway and consumer stuff drives me crazy, and the last thing you would want is to drive me crazy
[03:46] <Souljah> when you have errors, to see wherre and why u have them
[03:46] <Souljah> simple thing thought
[03:46] <sixofour> 8 killed now
[03:46] <sixofour> lol
[03:46] <Souljah> i can show you, how to not upstart this log daemon
[03:46] <Souljah> but maybe some1 else has a better olution for this problem
[03:47] <sixofour> can't i limit the size of logfiles?
[03:47] <Souljah> it should be limeted... dont know what went wrong there, dude
[03:47] <iicsa> GeekSquid, ok thanks :)
[03:47] <sixofour> how do i check?
[03:47] <Souljah> check wha
[03:47] <sixofour> to see what the size is
[03:47] <sixofour> limit
[03:48] <Souljah> dont know
[03:48] <duvnell> anyone know of a webpage dedicated to listing all linux libraries (or OSS libs).. by category/function.. by maturity/stability.. by license.. etc  .. some place to catalog all the work out there to know if you need to write a new one or just use what already exists?
[03:48] <Souljah> what did google tell you?
[03:48] <sixofour> me/
[03:48] <SaratogaCx> wow..  Apparently my WEP index was set wrong.. it's working now.. I'll go cray in a corner.
[03:48] <sixofour> i didn't google iot
[03:48] <sixofour> lol
[03:49] <Plinker> distrowatch.com
[03:49] <SaratogaCx> with a book on learning how to spell
[03:49] <duvnell> Plinker: that to me?
[03:49] <Plinker> yep!
[03:49] <justinlilly> What does gdm read to figure out its display information? /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[03:50] <duvnell> Plinker: but that has much more than libs.. and I"m not sure how I'd find .. say I'm looking for a library that makes network connections for me
[03:50] <iicsa> GeekSquid, i freaking fixed it! So i just was messing w/ the alsamixer. there is some "shared mic/line in" setting. flipped that to mic in and works now...
[03:50] <Souljah> sixofour: man logrotate
[03:50] <Souljah> you can fire it up more than once a day
[03:50] <ryanprior> My mouse is being moved when I press my keypad keys. How do I get my normal keypad back?
[03:50] <iicsa> the volume control applet does not expose the setting, only exposed in alsamixer
[03:50] <hugleo> iwconfig wlan0 essid MyNetwork works but put wireless-essid MyNetwork in /etc/networks don't work. Do you need any help?
[03:50] <GeekSquid> iicsa: now that was easy
[03:50] <sixofour> firewhat?
[03:51] <hugleo> *can
[03:51] <iicsa> GeekSquid, haha not really. only took me a freakin hour :)
[03:51] <Souljah> it can run automatically the often you want
[03:51] <Plinker> duvnell: Some f what you want, not sure if there is an index like that?
[03:51] <mhaedo> hey everyone
[03:51] <Plinker> (of)
[03:51] <ryanprior> kp5 clicks, kp+ double-clicks, kp4 moves my cursor left, kp6 moves it right, etc -- how do I stop that behaviour?
[03:51] <Souljah> but thats not the perfect solution
[03:51] <duvnell> Plinker: thinking of starting one
[03:51] <sixofour> how do i do that... did i say i don't know what i am doing ?
[03:51] <duvnell> might contact OSDN first
[03:51] <iicsa> GeekSquid, still doesnt work well. i haev the "boost" all the way up to 100 and its still real quiet.
[03:52] <mhaedo> does anyone here know of a simple way to time how long a process takes to complete at the command line (compiling a kernel for example) ?
[03:52] <Souljah> sixofour: anything is wrong with your syslog daemon, im not well in formed `bout it
[03:52] <Souljah> maybe you ask some1 else,im sorry
[03:52] <Jordan_U> mhaedo, time <command>
[03:52]  * mhaedo feels stupid.
[03:52] <mhaedo> Jordan_U: thanks :)
[03:52] <Souljah> lots of workarounds, but not the exact solution for your problem in my head
[03:53] <Jordan_U> mhaedo, You're welcome.
[03:53] <sixofour> how can i limit the size of all my system logs?
[03:53] <mhaedo> wow it works. so simple. so amazing.
[03:53] <mhaedo> now i dont have to sit around with a stopwatch to see how long it takes to compile my kernel!
[03:53]  * mhaedo is happy
[03:53] <iicsa> GeekSquid, eh just got it. had to keep messing round. "analog s" => "mic", "mic" and "line in" to 100...
[03:53] <nomasteryoda> ya that is a cool tool mhaedo
[03:54] <Ze_M> isnt posible to get s dvd ubuntu iso image?
[03:54] <Jordan_U> sixofour, With logrotate.
[03:55] <sixofour> Jordan_U:  how don i do that/
[03:55] <sixofour> do*
[03:55] <Ze_M> isnt posible to get s dvd ubuntu iso image??
[03:55] <robb> Ze_M: iso's are available for download
[03:56] <Ze_M> robbwhere?
[03:56] <robb> ubuntu.com :)
[03:56] <Ze_M> [robb] but not dvd isos afaik
[03:56] <robb> Ze_M: don't follow you...
[03:56] <olskolirc> I'm on Lucid and my 'update-app-install keeps crashing and I have no sound...any help?
[03:57] <kameron> i just bought a netbook and i'm looking to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix, but it requires a 1gb usb flash drive. i only have a 512meg flash drive. can i install just a base system then update gui etc from there? or are there other options?
[03:57] <robb> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[03:57] <robb> Ze_M: maybe http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#dvd ?
[03:57] <Ze_M> [robb] i dont see 4gb iso images available to download
[03:58] <sixofour> how do i limit?
[03:58] <sixofour> i did logrotate 100k it didn't work
[03:58] <sixofour> logrotate size 100k
[03:58] <sixofour> *
[03:58] <Elrox> kameron, personally, i hate the netbook remix, just go with 9.04
[03:59] <Ze_M> [robb] but isnt availabel for 10
[03:59] <lubosz> hi
[03:59] <kameron> Elrox, either way, i have the same problem of a small usb flash drive. any solution? netinstall maybe?
[03:59] <lubosz> is there a boost ppa for karmic?
[03:59] <[_miT_]> is there a way to 'load balance' two connections on ubuntu? (say WLAN and LAN)
[03:59] <lubosz> i need boost version 1.41
[03:59] <robb> 10.x is going to be alpha? still
[03:59] <Ze_M> [robb] alpha3
[03:59] <quy> hello
[03:59] <robb> so then...
[04:00] <Ze_M> mandriva put available in all rc releases a dvd iso
[04:00] <Jordan_U> sixofour, /etc/logrotate.conf You probably want to uncomment "compress" and add something like "size 500M"
[04:00] <Ze_M> including for both arches
[04:00] <Elrox> kameron, there is a net-install, but i will have to look tomorrow from work,,, unless someone else here knows...
[04:00] <sixofour> Jordan_U: i want to do like size 100m max
[04:00] <robb> Ze_M: last url has the answer...
[04:00] <Jordan_U> sixofour, That's fine
[04:00] <kameron> Elrox, i did a netinstall one time to a base debian system, and upgraded to ubuntu. this was years ago and it was hell. i hope there's something official by ubuntu now.. there must be.
[04:00] <sixofour> does rotate delete logs or jsut make a bunch of 100mb logs?
[04:00] <Ze_M> [robb] wich url?
[04:01] <darkstar1> Is there a way to extend the / partition?
[04:01] <sixofour> like .1 .2 .3 .4 etc all 100mb
[04:01] <[_miT_]> darkstar1: try gpart?
[04:01] <MilitantPotato> darkstar1: load a LiveCD, install gparted
[04:01] <quy> exit
[04:01] <quy> qui
[04:01] <[_miT_]> lol
[04:01] <darkstar1> gparted is installed but I can't unmount to extend the partition
[04:01] <Jordan_U> sixofour, It rotates the logs after they become the specified size, by default 4 copies are kept but you can change that.
[04:02] <sixofour> i want 0 copies
[04:02] <[_miT_]> darkstar1: hence why one would boot via LiveCD :)
[04:02] <sixofour> and jsut delete when 100mb
[04:02] <Jordan_U> sixofour, compress will also help a LOT since it's text.
[04:02] <darkstar1> [_miT_]: thanks.. there's no other way?
[04:02] <axisys> what is that tool that compresses best .. isn't it 7zip or something? forgot
[04:02] <Jordan_U> sixofour, Change "rotate 4" to "rotate 0" then.
[04:03] <innatech> How do I force a resoultion despite a KVM switch interfering w detection? X is ignoring my modeline.
[04:03] <adante> hi, where would i find ubuntu specific documentation for the pure-ftpd package?
[04:03] <[_miT_]> darkstar1: im sure there are tons of other ways, this is linux ;) .. but thats the eaisest (for me anyway)
[04:03] <aLemmer> Hey, the latest Intel processor is the i7, right?
[04:03] <darkstar1> [_miT_]: thanks
[04:03] <sixofour> where do i add the size line?
[04:03] <[_miT_]> adante: 'man pure-ftpd' from terminal?
[04:03] <mclark1128> After an attempted downgrade to grub-legacy from grub2, I accidentally ran grub-install to my /boot partition and not my mbr.
[04:03] <Elrox> kameron, look at the section "Server and network installations"  from here--->>  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[04:04] <mclark1128> Now I think I've corrupted my /boot, and cannot mount that partition via livecd
[04:04] <mhaedo> hey, anyone happen to know how to build a kernel the "ubuntu way" with a -j flag to use multiple cores?
[04:04] <mhaedo> ie. with make-kpkg
[04:04] <mclark1128> Is there a way to basically reset the /boot partition to the state its in right after install?
[04:04] <[_miT_]> is there a way to 'load balance' two connections on ubuntu? (say WLAN and LAN)
[04:05] <sixofour> Jordan_U: where do i put the size 20m option/
[04:05] <adante> [_miT_]: that looks like the generic documentation
[04:05] <[_miT_]> adante: i cheat and use the GTK package to manage my users/folders/ect for pure-ftpd :)
[04:05] <jeri> Hi has anyone had a problem with a logitech quickcam and skype?
[04:06] <Jordan_U> mclark1128, grub-install shouldn't ever harm a file system. What filesystem is your /boot and what error do you get when you try to mount it?
[04:06] <lenovo> who can tell me how to control the length of the conky
[04:06] <Ze_M> [robb] whats an alternate iso?
[04:06] <[_miT_]> lenovo: did you edit the conkyrc file?
[04:06] <mclark1128> Jordan_U: fdisk -l says my boot (/dev/sda2) is HPFS/NTFS
[04:06] <Jordan_U> sixofour, Anywhere, but right before the rotate option is probably a good place since they are related.
[04:06] <mclark1128> here's the thing
[04:07] <lenovo> yes
[04:07] <sixofour> ok Jordan_U
[04:07] <mclark1128> Before I was able to run 'sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot'
[04:07] <sixofour> anything else i can do?
[04:07] <mclark1128> and it was great
[04:07] <mclark1128> now if i run the same command i get
[04:07] <mclark1128> "mount: you must specify the filesystem type"
[04:07] <sixofour> ok, time to see if the rt kernal works
[04:08] <sixofour> :p
[04:08] <Ze_M> why is gnome the default WM instead kde?
[04:08] <mclark1128> if i try "sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot" I get
[04:08] <mclark1128> "wrong fs type"
[04:08] <mclark1128> if i try ntfs I get
[04:08] <[_miT_]> mclark1128: and fdisk reads it as NTFS?
[04:09] <mclark1128> that's what it says in the 'system' column
[04:09] <mclark1128> which I thought was strange
[04:09] <mclark1128> My initial problem was that GRUB2 was caught in an infinite reboot
[04:09] <[_miT_]> mclark1128: weird.
[04:10] <mclark1128> Likely due to the installation of Adobe CS3 on my Windows 7 partition
[04:10] <mclark1128> (I think their updater software might somehow corrupt grub's space)
[04:10] <Jordan_U> mclark1128, I'm not sure how Adobe CS3 would affect grub
[04:10] <davep> unable to create './usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2' no such file or directory
[04:11] <davep> uhhh. that file is there
[04:11] <mclark1128> I'm not sure either, except that I read several posts that alluded to some diagnostic software might cause this issue
[04:11] <davep> and how does a file not being there make it impossible to create it
[04:11] <kameron> Elrox, i think this option might work for me, as the netbook already has windows installed. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows
[04:11] <davep> isnt that backwards?
[04:11] <mclark1128> Like dell or HP diagnostic, so I thought perhaps Adobe updater could behave similarly
[04:11] <mclark1128> at any rate the issue happened literally the first reboot after installing adobe
[04:11] <mclark1128> after restoring grub2 the first time
[04:12] <mclark1128> I was able to boot to linux, and restart
[04:12] <mclark1128> and return to grub
[04:12] <gouki> Has anyone had a problem where Vino server makes a computer available over the Internet, when there is no port forwarding on the router for such computer? Port scans reveal that in fact 5900 is open and being used by VNC software.
[04:12] <mclark1128> but after returning to windows grub was locked up again
[04:12] <Fezzler> I use Ardour application.  Will the Update Manager tell me when a new version is available?
[04:12] <[_miT_]> is there a way to 'load balance' two connections on ubuntu? (say WLAN and LAN)
[04:12] <mclark1128> either way, I've had other issues with grub2 so I've decided to downgrade
[04:12] <mhaedo> mclark1128: what issues, out of curiosity
[04:12] <davep> renaming the file made no different
[04:12] <mclark1128> And i was SOOO close, but i just made a mistake on literally the last step
[04:12] <davep> difference
[04:13] <Jordan_U> mclark1128, My guess is that you have a braindead OEM 'feature' that is thinking your windows install is broken and is trying to 'fix' it. I think installing grub to a partition is just a read herring.
[04:13] <Fezzler> In Ubuntu, do I need to uninstall programs before installing their updated version?  Install "on top of" them?
[04:14] <[_miT_]> Fezzler: good question, i've always just installed over them.
[04:14] <Jordan_U> mclark1128, Installing CS3 might have triggered the OEM software, but there's no way CS3 itself caused this.
[04:14] <Balsaq> does ubuntu have a way of pulling a serial number out of a computer, when all the stickers have been removed from the case?
[04:14] <kameron> Fezzler, you can just use the "-upgrade" tag on apt-get.
[04:14] <mhaedo> Balsaq: serial number for what exactly?
[04:14] <kameron> Balsaq, no
[04:14] <jeri> Is there a way to make my web cam turn on while using skype?
[04:14] <[_miT_]> Balsaq: you can try to look at the info of "sudo lshw"
[04:15] <mclark1128> Jordan_U: Fair enough, I just felt it may be somehow related since I have never had this problem until I installed it.
[04:15] <mhaedo> jeri: does it work using cheese?
[04:15] <mclark1128> Like you said, it could have triggered some other software causing it.
[04:15] <[_miT_]> Balsaq: thats how i get my motherboard serial number at least :)
[04:15] <jeri> yes
[04:15] <|604|> kde seems to have halted at 50% loading [after logging into it
[04:15] <Fezzler> kameron>> So...sudo apt-get ardour -upgrade
[04:15] <puff> Anyone familiar wtih using google talk to send/recieve phone text messages?  I'm trying to figure it out.
[04:16] <mclark1128> When I try to boot to grub I get some error message, I can't remember exactly, but it's something along the lines of an invalid filesystem
[04:16] <mhaedo> jeri: i've personally never had any luck with it. didn't try very hard to get it working though
[04:16] <mclark1128> and then I get grub rescue>
[04:16] <Plinker> Balsaq: There is a little program that will do this not sure if I did it in Windows or Linux
[04:16] <kameron> Fezzler, i don't remember the exact command as i don't have a linux box in front of me, but it's like "sudo apt-get install -upgrade" that will query your configured sources for newer version and isntall them automatically.
[04:16] <mclark1128> so, is it possible to restore /boot/ to its original state?
[04:16] <kameron> Fezzler, if you have a local .deb to install it's reccomended to remove the original program and install the newer .deb
[04:16] <jeri> ok is there any alternative to skype
[04:17] <DaemonFC> jeri, Ekiga perhaps?
[04:17] <mclark1128> jeri: Chat Roulette
[04:17] <mclark1128> Of course, you may not like what you see :)
[04:17] <jeri> ok, Thank You
[04:17] <rassilon> rassilon
[04:17] <Fezzler> kameron>> don't remember -  I think I used ubuntu studio audio to install all my audio stuff
[04:17] <Elrox> Balsaq, boot to windows and use Belarc Advisor, this is OT so ask in #windows
[04:17] <|604|> Jordan_U now kde says "no write access to /home/sixofour/.ICEauthority
[04:17] <|604|> and cannot load
[04:18] <|604|> kde
[04:18] <Plinker> Balsaq: Google something like "program, Find application serial numbers"
[04:18] <Balsaq> ok thanks PLinker  and   [_mit_]   and Elrox
[04:18] <[_miT_]> np Balsaq :)
[04:18] <clever_> Im new to  Ubuntu. Trying out this program
[04:18] <[_miT_]> clever_: welcome!
[04:18] <mclark1128> When I try to do a grub-install to /dev/sda2 I get "grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub/
