[09:22] <ikonia> insmod: it won't overwrite if it can't start the upgrade because it can't match the deps
[09:22] <thedood_> im kenapa
[09:22] <test> what should i do?
[09:22] <thedood_> okay
[09:22] <maco> thedood_: uh, seems you're *not* since you're here....
 no idea type ps -aux |grep pulseaudio
[09:22] <test> pygtk or gtkmm?
[09:22] <maco> soreau: yes, but itd be a bit odd to mix the languages, unless you're about done and just want to optimise
[09:22] <maco> test: Qt's probably the simplest for you then
bahh
[09:23] <maco> test: #kubuntu-devel is full of people who A) know how to use Qt and B) will be very willing to show you bugs you can practice on
it will -f
[09:23] <test> I have tried Qt creator but my GUI won't work
[09:24] <test> maco:  I might go there
[09:24] <maco> test: it just makes a .ui file ... did you compile it?
[09:24] <test> yes
[09:24] <ikonia> insmod: not sure that's how to go about an upgrade
[09:24] <soreau> insmod: You can use tab completion for nicks, no need for the <>s
[09:24] <soreau> ! tab | insmod
[09:24] <maco> test: and then include/import it in your c++/python code?
[09:24] <abhinav_singh> ikonia I am confused ...please help me where to find ppa_purge script and 3rd party repos
[09:24] <A-Crow-Knows> I have one simple c++ question
[09:24] <soreau> A-Crow-Knows: Ask in ##c++
[09:25] <test> maco: yes, i used Qt Creaton thing
[09:25] <test> *creator
[09:25] <maco> test: that just makes the .ui file ... what about writing the actual code that ... does stuff?
[09:25] <Fox_> hi
[09:25] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: if you go into /etc/apt/sources.d you should see the repo config files for the 3rd part, and there may also be some in the /etc/apt/sources.list file, remove the 3rd party repos
thanks
[09:26] <soreau> abhinav_singh: If you are using 10.10, ppa-purge is in the repos. For older than 10.10 you can get it from xorg-edgers repo
[09:26] <maco> test: like, matching up signals & slots and writing the handlers and things....
[09:26] <test> maco: well it works to a ceratain point
[09:26] <ikonia> soreau: oh, is ppa-purge not in the multiverse ?
[09:26] <maco> test: you have a bug?
[09:26] <test> maco: but when I start adding more actions it stops working
[09:26] <soreau> ikonia: Its only in maverick
[09:26] <Fox_> hi
[09:26] <Sirion> anyone has an idea what could cause automatc unmounts of ntfs partitions?
[09:26] <Fox_> hi
[09:27] <test> maco: well I have the same problem every time
[09:27] <soreau> ikonia: but it could be in any other repo, I dont keep up with it too much really :)
yes
[09:27] <test> maco: also I don't like nokia that much :)
[09:27] <maco> test: ok. what time zone are you in? it's 430am here so id rather not start on code debugging just now.  but if you can put your code in bzr and push it to launchpad and pm me the branch name, i'd be happy to help you debug when i wake up
[09:28] <maco> test: (or you just go "hey, its morning in europe....i'll bug the other qt, kde, and kubuntu people!")
easy
[09:28] <maco> insmod: you dont have to include the angle brackets
[09:28] <ikonia> insmod: try (if you can) to use soreau tab suggestion, it makes it easier to follow
[09:28] <test> maco: im in belgium
[09:28] <insmod> thanks
[09:28] <maco> insmod: in fact, some clients won't highlight properly if you put something before the nick
[09:28] <test> maco: just 10:28 here
[09:28] <insmod> great
[09:29] <maco> test: ok, so if im online around 15:00-16:00 your time, can we talk then?
[09:29] <test> maco: uhm probably
[09:29] <Fox_> hi to all
[09:29] <ikonia> Fox_: you've said that, "hi"
[09:29] <insmod> Sirion:yes
[09:29] <insmod> Sirion:easy
[09:29] <xukun> I have a new ssd disk now and installed the OS on it, but know I need to access my old raid 1 disk. How can I do that?
[09:30] <maco> test: ok. then i'll see you when it's morning here ;-)
[09:30] <Jordan_U> abhinav_singh: You can download the ppa-purge script from here: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ppa-purge/ppa-purge/ubuntu/view/42/ppa-purge
[09:30] <test> in the mean time i will go to the channel you said
[09:30] <rado_> hi everybody
[09:30] <soreau> insmod: Thats better.. now try putting a space after the colon
[09:30] <rado_> a quick question about custom kernel installation
what
[09:30] <soreau> :P
[09:30] <ikonia> rado_: custom kernels are not supported
what
[09:30] <maco> insmod: do you know that if you start typing the name then hit tab, itll finish it for you?
[09:30] <maco> insmod: and itll even include the ": " for you
[09:31] <insmod> that is cool
[09:31] <insmod> thanks
[09:33] <Abinadi> insmod, this is what I am getting when I try to kill pulseaudio: http://paste.ubuntu.com/569090/
wrong
[09:33] <maco> insmod: what client?
[09:33] <maco> insmod: pidgin or empathy? they're the worst, so the most likely to fail at tab completion...
[09:34] <Abinadi> insmod, almost any IRC client will do that for you
[09:34] <test> maco: I went to the channel but they are complaining about sleeping
[09:34] <xukun> device name is changed after I installed the OS on a new ssd disk. How do I find the correct raid1 disk to mount . sudo fdisk -l gives a lot of devices but I have no idea which one is the right one
looks stoped
xchat
[09:34] <maco> test: that was another american ;-)
[09:34] <Abinadi> insmod, xchat works great
yes
[09:34] <Jordan_U> insmod: Start typing the nick without the '<' and it will tab complete it.
[09:35] <soreau> insmod: Just type sor and hit tab
[09:35] <insmod> i see still not the way i am use to
[09:35] <soreau> insmod: The default in xchat is a comma separator you can change in the settings preferences
[09:36] <insmod> soreau: but tommorow i will be on bitchx
[09:36] <soreau> insmod: Well how you just typed it looks great
thanks lot more work the highlight and click
[09:37] <abhinav_singh> Jordan_U i have downloaded the script ..but what to pass as an argument to that script
[09:38] <xukun> I have two disk made it a raid1 but they are not mounted. how do I find the right device to mount?
[09:38] <Abinadi> insmod, it looks stopped to me too, but when I open the vm it gives me a warning that the audio device is not working and it grabs the NULL device
[09:38] <ikonia> xukun: sudo fdisk -l will show your disks and partitions
then it is not pulse it is alsa or oss
[09:39] <xukun> ikonia, that gives me a lot of info, it's very confusing and still don't sure which one is the one to mount
[09:40] <ikonia> xukun: how many disks do you have in your system ?
[09:40] <xukun> one ssd of 60gb and 2x2tb which is raid1 disks
[09:40] <Sirion> is the blksize option important for gnome-mount ?
[09:40] <xukun> ikonia, one ssd of 60gb and 2x2tb which is raid1 disks
[09:40] <ikonia> xukun: how are they raided ?
[09:41] <abhinav_singh> ikonia brother any help..i ahve download the script..but that argument should I pass to it
[09:41] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: do what I told you to do, removing the 3rd party info from /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.d
[09:41] <xukun> ikonia, I don't understand that. what do u mean?
[09:42] <ikonia> xukun: where did you configure the raid on the disks, within ubuntu, or in the motherboard bios ?
[09:42] <Abinadi> insmod, how do I find OSS, I've looked in the package manager?
[09:42] <xukun> ikonia, ah it's software raid
it would be  alsa oss the combatibility package
[09:43] <abhinav_singh> ikonia i have moved all the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d to some different directory ...i think it should work now ?
[09:43] <nagel182> is here somebody who is good with apache2 and PHP? i need help and I desparete.
[09:44] <satya> hello
[09:44] <satya> if i tries to login with the user in ldap server, it says permission denied
[09:44] <Jordan_U> abhinav_singh: What ppas have you used? I don't think ppa-purge currently works with 3rd party repositories that aren't ppas.
[09:46] <nagel182> Okay. I have ubuntu 10.10. I installed apache2 Php mysql and phpmyadmin through the package handler. it worked after that I instaled Imagemagick , and imagick for PHP. than I installed mod_rewrite for appache2. I created a folder in /var/www/ called shimmie. I copied there my codes and  after setting up htaccess it worked fine.  url rewrite worked. thumbnails with imagick appeared along with normal images. Yesterday  I got another webpage
[09:46] <nagel182>  project. but it required apache mod_ expires and mod_headers and installed it. And installed Xdebug for PHP.  after this I put  the  webpage to another /var/www/ folder called fashion. Now in fashion everything works as its needs to: url rewrite , expires.. everything. But now my original folder shimmi, doesnt works: no url rewrite, no imagick thumbnails nor the original image shows up.
[09:47] <ikonia> xukun: is it ubuntu software raid, or software raid from the motherboard
[09:47] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: re-run sudo apt-get update and make sure it doesn't show any 3rd party repos
[09:48] <abhinav_singh> here is my sources.list http://pastebin.com/bTQCzd5Y and here is my source.list.d directory contents http://pastebin.com/gDc3jab8 ikonia Jordan_U
[09:48] <LouisVuittonBags> Hello
[09:48] <nagel182> pleeeeease someone...
[09:48] <Senjai> nagel182?
[09:48] <AbhijiT> nagel182, what is imagemagic and imagick?
[09:49] <LouisVuittonBags> Hello again
[09:49] <AbhijiT> hi LouisVuittonBags do you have any ubuntu question?
[09:49] <LouisVuittonBags> yes
[09:49] <AbhijiT> ask
[09:49] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: you have losts of 3rd party repos in sources.d, I'd remove them
[09:49] <Senjai> nagel182, what was your question?
[09:49] <nagel182> imagemagick is a image manipulator program, and imagick is the API for it in PHP
[09:50] <abhinav_singh> so well i have moved them to different directory...will not it help ikonia?
[09:50] <nagel182> and my problem is that in one folder both of them works, but in another it doesnt
[09:50] <nagel182> and this is my problem
[09:50] <nagel182> Okay. I have ubuntu 10.10. I installed apache2 Php mysql and phpmyadmin through the package handler. it worked after that I instaled Imagemagick , and imagick for PHP. than I installed mod_rewrite for appache2. I created a folder in /var/www/ called shimmie. I copied there my codes and  after setting up htaccess it worked fine.  url rewrite worked. thumbnails with imagick appeared along with normal images. Yesterday  I got another webpage
 <nagel182>  project. but it required apache mod_ expires and mod_headers and installed it. And installed Xdebug for PHP.  after this I put  the  webpage to another /var/www/ folder called fashion. Now in fashion everything works as its needs to: url rewrite , expires.. everything. But now my original folder shimmi, doesnt works: no url rewrite, no imagick thumbnails nor the original image shows up.
[09:50] <FloodBot2> nagel182: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:50] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: they still show in that directory
[09:50] <Jordan_U> abhinav_singh: I'm not sure when this feature was added, but in Ubuntu 10.10 Software Sources lists all repositories, and what packages were installed from each. Can you check if Applications > Ubuntu Software Center shows such a list at the top left?
[09:50] <ikonia> nagel182: I suspect you have conflicting re-write rules
[09:51] <abhinav_singh> no i again moved them to source.d to show you the directory content but now they are in different directory ikonia
[09:51] <Jordan_U> ikonia: I asked what repositories abhinav_singh had.
[09:51] <nagel182> and how can I configure that? and can we talk in PM ikonia?
[09:51] <ikonia> ah, I thought they where still there
[09:51] <abhinav_singh> no ikonia i have moved them to different directory
[09:51] <ikonia> nagel182: the channel #httpd can explain apache re-write rules to you
[09:52] <ikonia> nagel182: no need to pm me
[09:52] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: re-run sudo apt-get update and make sure it doesn't look at external repos
[09:52] <Senjai> !query | nagel182
[09:52] <abhinav_singh> no Jordan_U i am using 10.04
[09:52] <Senjai> !pm | nagel182
[09:52] <nagel182> ikonia.. ok i go there but so far theywerent helpful ...
[09:52] <ikonia> nagel182: work with it, they will help you
[09:53] <Senjai> Jus ask your question, and wait
[09:53] <Senjai> not so long of a question
[09:53] <Senjai> shorten it
[09:54] <abhinav_singh> here is the result of re run of apt-get update http://pastebin.com/3pRj18PD ikonia
[09:55] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: that looks better, now follow insmods advice
[09:55] <abhinav_singh> okay ikonia :) I wish now i am able to upgrade to 10.10 :)
[09:55] <minotux> googleearth print "** is not gtk(2)" and then quit...., can anyone help?
[09:55] <AbhijiT> minotux, get the latest version
[09:56] <soreau> minotux: Which version of ubuntu?
[09:57] <jrgill> what is a .l file?
[09:57] <abhinav_singh> yes I have followed insmods advice ikonia
[09:58] <breadcrumb> hi
[09:58] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: try the upgrade then
[09:58] <jrgill> im trying to run this http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/get-edid.1.html
[09:58] <jrgill> i downloaded it but dunno how to use it
[09:59] <jrgill> i ungziped it, so now what?
[09:59] <silverlightning> any moderators here?
[09:59] <minotux> soreau, mine is kubuntu, how to see the version of it?
[09:59] <silverlightning> sos --- ... ---
[09:59] <ikonia> silverlightning:  try #ubuntu-ops
[09:59] <cdbs> silverlightning: what do you want?
[09:59] <soreau> minotux: Try lsb_release -a|grep -i code
[09:59] <abhinav_singh> okay ikonia
[09:59] <silverlightning> do you know the commands for login?
[10:00] <ikonia> silverlightning: /join #ubuntu-ops
[10:00] <satya> if i tries to login with the user in ldap server, it says permission denied
[10:00] <minotux> soreau, ubuntu 11.04
[10:01] <soreau> ! 11.04 | minotux
[10:01] <minotux> but I have installedkde-desktop andremove the gnome-desktop
[10:01] <minotux> and I have removed all the gnome-* files...
[10:01] <soreau> minotux: You need to go to #ubuntu+1 since natty isnt supported here yet
[10:02] <minotux> soreau: so you mean I should disgrade to 10.10
[10:02] <abhinav_singh> ikonia which version you are running?
[10:02] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: many
[10:02] <verac> *downgrade
[10:02] <satya> cdbs: if i tries to login with the user in ldap server, it says permission denied
[10:02] <jrgill> can someone please tell me how to use this?  http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/get-edid.1.html
[10:02] <soreau> minotux: If you want help here, you should be using 10.10 or any other officially released version
[10:02] <abhinav_singh> wow :) ikonia
[10:02] <RuslanPopov> re ppl
[10:02] <cdbs> satya: sorry, I dunno
[10:03] <satya> cdbs: okay
[10:03] <ikonia> jrgill: what's the issue with it ?
[10:03] <silverlightning> ikonia, only mods allowed there?
[10:03] <ikonia> silverlightning: unless you have an issue
[10:03] <jrgill> ikonia: i downloaded it and ungzipped it.  how do i use it?
[10:03] <RuslanPopov> I install into computer two 2tb sata disks, enable bios raid support and the split them into raid1; how to use that raid into ubuntu 10.10?
[10:03] <jrgill> itsa .l file
[10:03] <ikonia> jrgill: use the deb
[10:04] <ikonia> !info get-edid
[10:04] <jrgill> what is .l though?
[10:04] <satya> login failde in the ldap server. permission denied. any seggestions guys
[10:04] <ikonia> jrgill: it doesn't matter, use the deb
[10:04] <verac> RuslanPopov: they'll probably just show up as one drive
[10:04] <ikonia> !read-edid
[10:04] <ikonia> !info read-edid
[10:04] <soreau> jrgill: Just run get-edid
[10:04] <jrgill> is it for an older ubuntu?  lucid?
[10:04] <silverlightning> NickServ VERIFY REGISTER silverlightning tfrgueiirgkr
[10:04] <silverlightning> hmm
[10:04] <ikonia> jrgill: install the package "read-edid"
[10:05] <verac> gj silverlightning ;)
[10:05] <ikonia> jrgill: open the package manager, and install the package "read-edid" you can then use that command
[10:05] <jrgill> i will but can you tell me what this is just so i know?
[10:05] <abhinav_singh> again the same error ikonia
[10:05] <ikonia> jrgill: it's another file type,
[10:05] <jrgill> what file type...
[10:05] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: Hmmm,
[10:06] <ikonia> jrgill: run file against it
[10:06] <jrgill> you can't just say what it is?
[10:06] <ikonia> jrgill: can't you just install the package and run the command you want
[10:06] <soreau> jrgill: Since you are the one interested, you should install it and find out
[10:07] <abhinav_singh> I am sending you a file though IM please accept it ikonia
[10:07] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: no thanks, I don't want a file
[10:07] <RuslanPopov> verac: i though the same
[10:07] <abhinav_singh> so any more help brother ikonia
[10:07] <jrgill> ikonia: i can install it through the package manager, but i dont see why you cant explain what i found; im not an idiot.
[10:08] <ikonia> jrgill: it's a man page, and if you read the info, you'd know it was a man page
[10:08] <ikonia> jrgill: the fact that I told you how to find out what it was and you wouldn't do it, so I had to download it for you and see what it was suggests to the contrary
[10:09] <jrgill> ikonia: if you had to download it, it suggests the contrary to you as well...
[10:09] <RuslanPopov> verac: that is dmesg: http://dpaste.com/432777/
[10:09] <soreau> -_-
[10:09] <silverlightning> verac, I registered earlier this morning, and verified, but how do I login now after the initial registration process?
[10:09] <satya> login failde in the ldap server. permission denied. any seggestions guys
[10:09] <ubuntu_> whats up guys
[10:09] <RuslanPopov> what partition table do I need to create for raid?
[10:09] <soreau> ! attitude | jrgill
[10:09] <ikonia> jrgill: not at all, you'd be surprised how many people don't download the file correctly
[10:09] <satya> login failed in the ldap server. permission denied. any seggestions guys
[10:10] <ikonia> RuslanPopov: standard
[10:10] <ikonia> satya: look at the logs on the ldap server, make sure it's getting the request
[10:10] <RuslanPopov> linux sees these disks as separate device, does it normal?
[10:10] <tlir> is there a minimal lamp stack ubuntu-based install? something under the 300mb footprint
[10:10] <jrgill> just stating the facts
[10:10] <ikonia> RuslanPopov: if you're using fakeraid, that is quite common
[10:11] <abhinav_singh> any more help brother ikonia ...:P)
[10:11] <RuslanPopov> ikonia, I am not sysadmin, I just setup raid in bios and then join disk in raid bios util
[10:11] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: hard without more info, I suspect one of the many PPA's you where using has created a conflict that the upgrade manager can't resolve
[10:11] <RuslanPopov> may be it was fakeraid
[10:11] <ikonia> RuslanPopov: that is fakeraid
[10:12] <RuslanPopov> so, I need to format them separately and then?
[10:12] <ikonia> RuslanPopov: no, fakeraid is not a good technology to use with Linux as it's a Windows technology
[10:12] <ikonia> !fakeraid | RuslanPopov
[10:13] <abhinav_singh> so what to do now bro ikonia :)
[10:14] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: without more info it's hard, I'd suggest (unless you really want to work hard to debug it) a clean install, but in future limiting your use of 3rd party repos and PPA's
[10:14] <brontoeee> how is fakeraid done on mac?
[10:14] <ikonia> brontoeee: it's not
[10:14] <RuslanPopov> heh
[10:15] <brontoeee> ikonia, huh, you just select two drives with 'disk utility' and say make it raid0, and thats it
[10:15] <brontoeee> ikonia, is that something else?
[10:15] <jrgill> ikonia: how does someone download that file incorrectly?
[10:15] <ikonia> brontoeee: yes, that's not fake raid
[10:15] <RuslanPopov> if I understand right, I have to shut off raid support in bios, and work with them in ubuntu as separate devices with software raid?
[10:15] <ikonia> jrgill: fail to unzip it properly
[10:15] <ikonia> RuslanPopov: that is a good option
[10:16] <RuslanPopov> fakeroot is good option or software raid?
[10:16] <ikonia> fakeroot ?
[10:17] <RuslanPopov> I just don't understand you clear
[10:17] <ikonia> RuslanPopov: I don't understand you, what do you mean by fakeroot ?
[10:17] <jo-erlend> I need to manually partition my disk with three partitions for use as space for raid and they need to start and end with sectors that are divisible by 4. How do I do that?
[10:18] <ikonia> jo-erlend: why do they need to start / end with sectors divisible by 4 ?
[10:18] <RuslanPopov> fakeraid
[10:18] <ikonia> RuslanPopov: fake raid is not a good option on linux
[10:19] <RuslanPopov> ok, I understand
[10:19] <Kranix> I think I hit some keyboard shortcut accidentally, everything on my screen darkened a lot...
[10:19] <jrgill> is there a package manager somewhere in gnome?  im on the live cd.
[10:19] <jo-erlend> ikonia: because my disk uses 4KB sectors, but doesn't report it, so Linux assumes it uses 512B sectors. This has a tremendous impact on performance. It's upto ten times slower than it would be if it were partitioned properly, which Ubuntus installers are unable to do.
[10:19] <brontoeee> Kranix, laptop?
[10:19] <Kranix> Yes.
[10:20] <ikonia> jo-erlend: you can change the block size on the file system
[10:20] <jo-erlend> ikonia: that's not the same. That's only software. I'm talking about hardware.
[10:20] <brontoeee> Kranix, mine has a blue function key names 'Fn', and if i press that + say f5 it gets darker, see if there is something like
[10:20] <martijn_pc> hello
[10:21] <ikonia> jo-erlend: use an advanced partition tool, such as fdisk which allows you to set start/end sectors
[10:21] <brontoeee> that
[10:21] <ikonia> jo-erlend: or parted

[10:21] <trijntje> Hi all, I used to be able to pull flash vids I watch in firefox from /tmp, but since a week or so they don't show up there any more. How can I determine where these vids are stored on my pc so I can save them for offline viewing?
[10:21] <ikonia> jo-erlend: when you partition the disk you can set start/end sectors, use that option
[10:22] <ikonia> jo-erlend: read the man page and documents also for more information

[10:26] <gaurav_help> what is gnome
[10:26] <ikonia> gaurav_help: desktop environment
[10:26] <ikonia> gaurav_help: www.gnome.org
[10:28] <Mkman> Bom Dia!
[10:28] <gaurav_help> can i install this on my ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop edition
[10:28] <ikonia> gaurav_help: gnome is the desktop you are using in ubuntu 10.10
[10:28] <brontoeee> gaurav_help, gnome is a part of standard ubuntu
[10:29] <gaurav_help> so can i update my gnome version
[10:29] <ikonia> gaurav_help: you don't need to
[10:29] <eubey> can someone look over an iptables config for me? Trying to secure a cloud-based webserver, current iptables causes FTP to fail to retrieve directory listing http://pastebin.com/najfH41F
[10:30] <ikonia> eubey: #netfilter is a good channel for iptables
[10:30] <gaurav_help> is there is any diffrence in desktop edition or in netbook edition
[10:30] <ikonia> gaurav_help: yes, the desktop
[10:31] <[thor]> netbook edition uses "Unity" instead of "gnome-panel"
[10:31] <Euthanasia> hello people
[10:31] <brontoeee> netbook comes with classic desktop as well i think
[10:32] <amit> channel for fedora?
[10:32] <eubey> ikonia, netfilter is dead
[10:32] <ray_> Can you find out if Ray is register?, I have been coming here unregistered.
[10:32] <ikonia> eubey: it's not
[10:32] <ikonia> ray_: ask in #freenode
[10:32] <amit> some one tell me channel for fedora
[10:32] <Euthanasia> i have a question. i have a local disk NTFS format. how do i call that disk when i am trying to specify a path in the terminal ?
[10:32] <ikonia> amit: #fedora
[10:32] <greenmang0> amit: \#fedora
[10:32] <amit> thanx
[10:33] <[thor]> Euthanasia: can you access the disk through the gui? i mean to say is it mounted?
[10:33] <gaurav_help> i am using desktop nut i have laptop
[10:33] <ikonia> gaurav_help: that's fine
[10:33] <gaurav_help> which is best for me
[10:33] <Euthanasia> yes
[10:33] <Euthanasia> it is mounted
[10:33] <ikonia> gaurav_help: use what you like, the desktop is fine
[10:33] <[thor]> Euthanasia: try " ls /media
[10:33] <gaurav_help> ya i am quite fine with my desktop
[10:34] <irong33k> linux mint keeps on hanging after every minute
[10:34] <Euthanasia> k
[10:34] <irong33k> is there a flaw ?
[10:34] <ikonia> irong33k: we don't support mint here
[10:34] <[thor]> Euthanasia: without " obviously
[10:34] <gaurav_help> but there is diffrence in gnome they have any other desktop enviroment
[10:34] <ikonia> !mint | irong33k
[10:35] <gaurav_help> what is gnome shell
[10:35] <Euthanasia> nope
[10:35] <ikonia> gaurav_help: it's unavailable at this time, look on gnome.org for gnome info
[10:36] <Euthanasia> its not workin
[10:36] <jo-erlend> I am about to partition my disk manually for raid. What do I need to do? Is there any special kinds of filesystems I need, or will the installer be able to use just normal partitions without me doing anything special in advance_
[10:36] <dcamps> hi, I have ubuntu 10.04 with a luks encrypted partition. I would like grub to show me a screen at boot time to select between different kernels installed, however such screen does not appear. I have grub-2 and have run sudo grub-update. Any idea of what could be wrong?
[10:36] <Euthanasia> i`m trying to run a game with wine... and i cant get the command right..
[10:36] <ikonia> jo-erlend: are youusing software or hardware raid ?
[10:36] <Euthanasia> like the file path
[10:36] <ikonia> Euthanasia: try #winehq
[10:36] <jo-erlend> ikonia: mdadm.
[10:36] <greenmang0> dcamps: press Shift when system boots
[10:36] <redGoat> dcamps: Hold SHIFT to get grub2 option.
[10:36] <Euthanasia> nothing happened
[10:37] <ikonia> jo-erlend: then you'll need to use the alternative installer disk, and you don't need anything special in terms of file system
[10:37] <dcamps> thanks i'll try now
[10:37] <ikonia> Euthanasia: try the channel #winehq
[10:37] <gaurav_help> which version i am using of gnome in ubuntu 10.10
[10:37] <Euthanasia> kay
[10:37] <ikonia> gaurav_help: 2.X
[10:37] <brontoeee> Euthanasia, df -h should return some paths as well for example
[10:37] <greenmang0> Euthanasia: are you sure your NTFS partition is mounted ? try mount command
[10:37] <jo-erlend> ikonia: I can set the start and end sectors for partitions in the installer? I havent seen that, I think.
[10:37] <ikonia> jo-erlend: , as I said you need to use an advanced partition tool for that, such as fdisk or parted
[10:38] <gaurav_help> it this is latest version
[10:38] <ikonia> gaurav_help: no
[10:38] <jo-erlend> ikonia: yes, but once Ive partitioned it, I can just start the installer and select those partitions for use as space for raid?
[10:38] <ikonia> jo-erlend: correct
[10:38] <gaurav_help> which is the latest can i install tat
[10:39] <ikonia> gaurav_help:  you are using the latest you can install
[10:39] <jo-erlend> ikonia: great. Now. How do I select start and end sectors? They just must not overlap, is that it? I can have gaps?
[10:39] <ikonia> jo-erlend: I've told you if you are going to this level of detail you need to read up on how to use the advanced partitioning tools
[10:39] <ikonia> jo-erlend: use eithe fdisk or parted, both are capable
[10:40] <gaurav_help> as u told me tat gnome shell is not available in ubuntu10.10
[10:40] <jo-erlend> ikonia: I know what to use. I dont know which sectors to use and how to find the total number of sectors.
[10:40] <brontoeee> Euthanasia, df -h should return some paths as well for example
[10:40] <pwillman> I need some hand on installing 10.10 via Wubi, it installs the first part at windows but then, after reboot, it says part of install can't be found...
[10:40] <ikonia> gaurav_help: correct
[10:40] <brontoeee> ups
[10:41] <ikonia> jo-erlend: that is avaialble within the partition tool, if you learn how to use it you can query the disk
[10:41] <silverlightning> partisjonsprogrammet er ganske enkelt å bruke
[10:41] <fx> nick yarekt
[10:41] <gaurav_help> which desktop enviromrnt is good i seen some video but i never seen tat type of menu i think tat is on notebook edition
[10:41] <ikonia> silverlightning: this channel is for English language only please.
[10:41] <ikonia> gaurav_help: gnome desktop is fine
[10:42] <gaurav_help> thanks
[10:42] <jo-erlend> silverlightning: I can figure that part out. Can I just choose sectors randomly? Ive never partitioned a disk for use with 4KB sectors.
[10:42] <gaurav_help> is there any great themes expect bisigi themes
[10:42] <gaurav_help> which i install
[10:42] <ikonia> gaurav_help: look on gnome-look.org
[10:42] <brontoeee> gaurav_help, better find that video, installing stuff like multiple dekstops is not what you want
[10:43] <gaurav_help> thanks
[10:43] <yarekt> Hi everyone. I wonder if you could help me. I need to put a hostname as an environment variable, which has to go to /etc/environment but from what i read that file does not execute any script stuff, is that true?
[10:44] <ikonia> yarekt: just do HOSTNAME=`hostname` in your .bash_profile
[10:44] <gaurav_help> how can i change my defualt directory of terminal which open /home/gaurav but i want to change it over /home/gaurav/desktop/java
[10:44] <silverlightning> jo-erlend½
[10:44] <yarekt> ikonia, it has to go into /etc/environment because its needed by apache, not only by shell scripts
[10:44] <jo-erlend> silverlightning?
[10:45] <silverlightning> jo-erlend could just be repalced with only?
[10:45] <silverlightning> sorry
[10:45] <gaurav_help> abhi kuch zayda hi bzy hu
[10:45] <gaurav_help> baugi
[10:45] <ikonia> yarekt: sorry, why does it need to go into /etc/environment
[10:45] <gaurav_help> soory
[10:45] <silverlightning> maybe there is a better paritioning software
[10:46] <gaurav_help> how can i change my defualt directory of terminal which open /home/gaurav but i want to change it over /home/gaurav/desktop/java
[10:46] <yarekt> ikonia, because apache, on startup, reads that file. I'm not comfortable with having it source any other files
[10:46] <jo-erlend> silverlightning: I dont think the tool is the problem. I just dont know how to choose the correct sectors in order to get a correctly aligned partition table.
[10:46] <ikonia> yarekt: apache won't read that file, why does apache need a hostname variable ?
[10:46] <greenmang0> hello friends, i am using latest ubuntu on my old macbook ... the sound is working fine but when i plugin the headphone in the audio jack.. i don't hear any sound what can be the problem?
[10:46] <greenmang0> headphones are working fine ;)
[10:47] <gaurav_help> how can i change my defualt directory of terminal which open /home/gaurav but i want to change it over /home/gaurav/desktop/java anyone
[10:47] <greenmang0> type > cd /home/gaurav/Desktop/java in terminal
[10:48] <greenmang0> gaurav_help: ^^
[10:48] <gaurav_help> how can i change my defualt directory of terminal which open /home/gaurav but i want to change it over /home/gaurav/desktop/java
[10:48] <ikonia> gaurav_help: changing the default is tricky as it opens your home directory by default
[10:48] <jubei> I'm trying to compile a library (GLFW) and I get GL/glx.h: No such file or directory
[10:48] <yarekt> ikonia, ok, ill rephrase, I need it to be in /etc/environment , so all the PHP applications have the envvars set. I cannot modify the PHP applications
[10:48] <ikonia> jubei: install the correct header packages
[10:49] <ikonia> yarekt: php won't read enviornment variables
[10:49] <jubei> ikonia, uuhm... what would those be?
[10:49] <ikonia> yarekt: give you give a real life example of your problem please.
[10:49] <[thor]> greenmang0: check the Hardware Output tab in your sound config (right-clicking the sound icon in the panel) for "Connector:"

[10:51] <pwillman> Installing ubuntu desktop 10.10 via Wubi causes trouble for me, when it's installed as windows program. After reboot when it should start installing the .iso it states that .iso can't be found...
[10:51] <ikonia> yarekt: that should be set in the env of the user executing the script
[10:52] <jo-erlend> are sectors and cylinders the same_
[10:52] <ikonia> no
[10:52] <mwaijandeg> how can i change the the login screen appearence in ubuntu?
[10:52] <jrgill> how does kde compare to gnome nowadays?  i havent used windows managers in a few years.
[10:52] <mwaijandeg> ny1 can help me
[10:52] <ikonia> jrgill: try them out, it's personal taste
[10:52] <yarekt> ikonia, the PHP is executed by apache
[10:53] <ikonia> yarekt: setup the apache users env if possible then
[10:53] <yarekt> ikonia, and we also have some PHP cli scripts which are executed by multiple shell users
[10:53] <ikonia> yarekt: then get those users to source the environment file
[10:53] <mwaijandeg> i have downloaded the new archiver containing new screens
[10:53] <yarekt> ikonia, the environment file?
[10:53] <ikonia> yarekt: /etc/enviornment
[10:54] <mwaijandeg> if any1 knows let me know plz
[10:54] <jo-erlend> ikonia: can you recommend a channel that can help me partition my disks so I can install Ubuntu?
[10:54] <mwaijandeg> i want to i wanna customize appearance
[10:54] <ikonia> jo-erlend: no sorry, although I don't know why you won't accept the default
[10:54] <mwaijandeg> the default?
[10:55] <mwaijandeg> just curious1
[10:55] <yarekt> ikonia, thats what we have right now. but I have to hardcode the variables for each server, id like them to be picked up from hostname and IP address right in /etc/environment, so that when anything sources it they will be automatically available for all
[10:55] <jo-erlend> ikonia: because that gives my sata drives a maximum speed of 30MB/s. And theyre really fast disks.
[10:55] <mwaijandeg> i wanna c new look
[10:55] <ikonia> jo-erlend: I doubt it will affect it that much,
[10:55] <jrgill> so this is what get-edid says.  idk how xrandr is getting its initial modes.  http://pastebin.com/MWi1vHnq
[10:56] <mwaijandeg> ..........
[10:56] <ikonia> yarekt: you should be able to do HOSTNAME=`hostname` as when the shell sources it it should work
[10:56] <yarekt> ikonia, in /etc/environment ?
[10:56] <karlo94> how I can grep or cut or else all after some word?
[10:56] <jo-erlend> ikonia: really? Reports say it will, for some operations, slow the disk access down by up to 25x.
[10:56] <ikonia> jo-erlend: I doubt that very much
[10:57] <sier> viva la Linux Unix Solaris !
[10:57] <ikonia> sier: please don't, this is a support channel only
[10:57] <kneko> hi all
[10:57] <sier> hello
[10:57] <jo-erlend> ikonia: why do you doubt that? Linux has to manually recalculate every single write operation. Its true. I just need to find out how to find the correct sectors to start with. And seing as fdisk uses cylinders, I need to find out how to convert that.
[10:58] <jo-erlend> ikonia: another problem with Ubuntus default installer, is that it creates overlapping filesystems, which is a seriously bad thing.
[10:58] <ikonia> jo-erlend: do what you wish, I just know from experience on home user situations it won't be the issue
[10:58] <ikonia> jo-erlend: it shouldn't create overlaps, if it does that is a bug and report it
[10:58] <jo-erlend> ikonia: its well known.
[10:58] <mwaijandeg> somebody in certain forum told me to use tweak
[10:58] <mwaijandeg> let me see
[10:58] <sier> someone help me please  humm using opencobol?
[10:59] <sier> in linux
[10:59] <ikonia> jo-erlend: can you show me the bug report for it please ?
[10:59] <jo-erlend> ikonia: I dont have a link to it here, because I just deleted my partitions.
[10:59] <erUSUL> sier: sudo apt-get install open-cobol
[10:59] <crow2> i copy two config file i changed before into lynx-cur/ ,but when i run lynx, it says can not find lynx.cfg and lynx.lss . i am sure that i copy two file from my last ubuntu system,
[10:59] <jo-erlend> ikonia: if you look at the log for #Ubuntu-bugs a few hours ago, youll find a link to it there.
[10:59] <ikonia> jo-erlend: ok, well manually partition
[11:00] <kneko> just loaded Ubuntu on my dying ms dos laptop and it has given it new life.
[11:00] <ikonia> jo-erlend: but don't worry about sector sizes
[11:00] <yarekt> ikonia, it doesnt execute the $() or ``, it just sets it to `hostname`
[11:00] <yarekt> ikonia, literal
[11:00] <ikonia> yarekt: how dissapointing
[11:00] <sier> but configuration
[11:00] <jo-erlend> ikonia: how can I not worry about that? If I dont know where to end the first partition, then I wont know where its safe to start the other.
[11:00] <halvor> hello
[11:01] <ikonia> jo-erlend: use gparted in the installer in manual mode, it will not let you overlap
[11:01] <tr3nton> hi all..
[11:02] <halvor> does anyone know what to do with the bluetooth settings if it seems to be okay, but the computer is not visible for other gadgets and can't see other gadgets
[11:02] <halvor> ?
[11:02] <tr3nton> can someone recommend a screen shoot tool that will work when in a context menu?
[11:02] <jo-erlend> ikonia: gparted doesnt allow me to specify start and end sectors though, does it?
[11:02] <ikonia> jo-erlend: no, but as I said don't worry about it, just worry about sizing
[11:02] <halvor> dmesg says: btusb_bulk_complete: hci0 urb f7128b80 failed to resubmit (1)
[11:02] <tr3nton> !screensho
[11:02] <tr3nton> !screenshot
 ever tried pressing print screen?
[11:03] <tr3nton> yeah
[11:03] <tr3nton> it doesn't work
[11:03] <halvor> and?
[11:03] <tr3nton> when im in a menu
[11:03] <erUSUL> tr3nton: d a screenshot with a timeout ?
[11:03] <poss> hey folks, ready for the next chapter in the poss saga?
[11:03] <yarekt> ikonia, thanks for your help
[11:03] <tr3nton> normally when you press print screen. the dialog appear asking to save or copy to clip board
[11:03] <jo-erlend> ikonia: if the partitions start with the usual 63, then write performance gets reduced by 60-90%. I _need_ to start with sectors that are divisible by four.
[11:03] <tr3nton> but in the case of being active on a menu, nothing happens
[11:04] <brontoeee> a little untested hack to open terminal at specific location might be: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=243332&postcount=6
[11:04] <mrb260478> hi just needed help of samba server
[11:04] <ikonia> jo-erlend: it won't won't make a visible different unless you have hi iops on things like a fibre channel array
[11:04] <ikonia> the nacked eye won't see that sort of thing
[11:04] <brontoeee> to someone who asked that before
[11:04] <tr3nton> seems to be the same for the gnome menu, and context menus
[11:04] <poss> So in previous episodes we discovered that our hero had been trying to update a ubuntu 9.10 installation to 10.04, however the update failed and the computer restarted, upon restarting the computer would nto start and reported a kernel error
[11:04] <mrb260478> hi any body
 then use what <erUSUL> adviced, a timeout
[11:04] <mickster04> hey guys is there a guide for how to fix grub when installing ubuntu 10.10 to a second hdd
[11:05] <tr3nton> oh right. sorry.
[11:05] <mrb260478> problem : slow copy and fast paste on samba share
[11:05] <ikonia> !grub2> mickster04
[11:05] <halvor> how to solve this problem with bluetooth? btusb_bulk_complete: hci0 urb f7128b80 failed to resubmit (1)
[11:05] <poss> in response to this situation our hero burnt off a live cd and set about installing 10.04 alongside the existing install
[11:05] <poss> this also failed
[11:06] <ikonia> poss: please just state issues, rather than talk as if you're in a book
[11:06] <mickster04> why does grb not install correctly?
[11:06] <poss> its rather hard to explain without background
[11:06] <ikonia> poss: then explain the background, without being in a book
[11:07] <jo-erlend> ikonia: You _do_ notice that. Its a radical reduction in speed. Windows 7 boots in about fifteen seconds. Ubuntu boots in 1 minute 30 seconds. That should tell you something.
[11:07] <poss> I am currently forced to use live cd as the operating system as ubuntu will not install and the existing ubuntu installation reports kernel panic.  However, the live cd freezes every half an hour or so
[11:07] <ikonia> jo-erlend: that's utter nosense, ubuntu will not boot in 1 minute 30 seconds
[11:08] <halvor> so nobody knows anything about such bluetooth nonsense?
[11:08] <OomElvis> Q: i want to delete all exim4 packages, i.e. every package starting with 'exim4'
[11:08] <OomElvis> 'exim4-'
[11:08] <jo-erlend> ikonia: my internal drives is about as fast as a fast memory stick when using Ubuntu.
[11:08] <ikonia> jo-erlend: if it's booting in 1.30 seconds your disk block size is not the issue
[11:08] <OomElvis> any wildcard i can use for that?
[11:09] <mrb260478> is anybody listening
[11:09] <jo-erlend> ikonia: youre right. The problem is that Linux needs to recalculate every single disk operation because its a 4096B disk and not a 512B disk.  I dont understand why you refuse to believe that.
[11:09] <mrb260478> helppp
[11:09] <poss> I have run system diagnostics as best I could and have determined: grub memory test runs fine. The live cd works fine on another computer and will install completely on another computer.  I have swapped out the cd drive and the hard drive
[11:09] <ikonia> jo-erlend: because I've done a large ammount of work with this, that's why I refuse to accept it
[11:10] <poss> i have run ubuntu system testing off the live cd, it reported no errors
[11:10] <mickster04> mrb260478: that's not a problem
[11:10] <tr3nton> ok. that works a treat. ;-) apps > metacity > keybinding_commands -> command_window_screenshot ... add argument --delay=3 at the end for a 3 sec delay.
[11:10] <tr3nton> in gconf-editor
[11:10] <poss> So Ubuntu will not install, and the exisiting ubuntu installation will not boot
[11:10] <ikonia> poss: that sounds like a hardware error of some sort if you have a kernel panic and the livecd is freezing
[11:11] <erUSUL> jo-erlend: linux dos not have to do anything it is the disk firmware what does that if you are using the disk in compatibility mode
[11:11] <jo-erlend> ikonia: really? Because the hardware vendors are so aware of this that they actually write how to partition for Windows XP and Windows 7 on the harddisk. It even has a jumper to support Windows XP.  The Advanced Format is supposed to increase efficiency, so this is terribly annoying.
[11:11] <mickster04> mrb260478: that is not a problem....
[11:11] <yarekt> poss, there must be something wrong with your machine that none of the tests have picked up
[11:11] <ikonia> jo-erlend: carry on as you wish, I disagree and do not wish to argue it
[11:11] <jo-erlend> erUSUL: it works well if you just make sure the partitions start with sectors that are divisible by four.
[11:11] <sacarlson> poss: did you try turn off all built in devices from bios and remove all unneeded hardware to attempt to isolate if it's hardware rellated?  maybe post your sudo lshw | pastebinit
[11:12] <jo-erlend> ikonia: this is fact. There is nothing to agree or disagree about.
[11:12] <ikonia> jo-erlend: there is
[11:12] <erUSUL> jo-erlend: all recent ( 10.10 ) disk utilities ( parted fdisk etc ) know how to round sectors for optimal performance
[11:12] <jo-erlend> ikonia: a link for you, randomly chosen. If you want, I will be happy to provide you with a thousand links. http://www.switched.com/2010/03/12/new-hard-drives-could-spell-trouble-for-xp-users?icid=sphere_blogsmith_inpage_engadget
[11:13] <erUSUL> jo-erlend: plenty of info here https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/ATA_4_KiB_sector_issues
[11:13] <ikonia> jo-erlend:  thank you, as I've said I disagree with what you are saying, and don't wish to discuss it further
[11:13] <erUSUL> jo-erlend: specialy the utilities section here https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/ATA_4_KiB_sector_issues#L-2._Userspace_tools_status_.28thanks_to_Karel_Zak.5B13.5D.29
[11:13] <ikonia> jo-erlend: the tools I have suggested are capable of doing what you want, research how to use them and good luck
[11:13] <jo-erlend> erUSUL: the problem, as I stated, is that Linux firmly believes that this is a 512B disk, not a 4096B one, so it optimizes for a condition that is utterly false.
[11:14] <poss> Thing is sacarison, this computer has been running fine for over a year, it was not until i ran ubuntu update that anything went wrong at all, and now everything is screwed. Now it does look like a hardware problem, but if it is then it was obviously brought on by the update, would you agree?
[11:14] <mrb260478> when i  copy 80mb file from windows to samba share folder it is copied at average speed of 5mb/sec, but when i copy same file from samba share folder to windows it is copied in 2mb/sec speed why is this happenning any answer's please
[11:14] <ikonia> poss: no I would not agree
[11:14] <ikonia> poss: it is probably just a hardware failure,
[11:14] <jo-erlend> ikonia:... fdisk uses cylinders. I have no idea how to convert cylinders to sectors and vice versa. If youve done alot of work with this, why cant you at least point me in the right direction?
[11:14] <poss> that happened to coincide with a system update?
[11:15] <ikonia> jo-erlend: you seem good at using google, the info is available
[11:15] <jo-erlend> ikonia: what do I search for?
[11:15] <ikonia> poss: maybe the update reboot
[11:15] <mickster04> !pm | mrb260478
[11:15] <ikonia> jo-erlend: fdisk or parted guides/info
[11:15] <mickster04> mrb260478: probably because of windows
[11:16] <ikonia> jo-erlend: heads/cylinders block conversion
[11:16] <mrb260478> ok i am new don't know much about irc
[11:16] <mrb260478> because of windows means
[11:16] <brontoeee> mrb260478, how about ftp speed?
[11:16] <przemasu> Hi. It's me again. Somebody told me to change to "blank-only" to disable screen turning off. It doesn't work. I tried to change options in power management, gconfig-editor and BIOS. Maybe somebody know how to disable turning TV off. I'm using PC, not laptop
[11:16] <mrb260478> can i tweak on windows or in ubuntu
[11:16] <mrb260478> ftp too has the same problem
[11:16] <mrb260478> speed reduces for copy from samba
[11:17] <yarekt> przemasu, setterm -powerdown 0; setterm -powersave Off; setterm -blank 0
[11:17] <brontoeee> mrb260478, how about not using samba and test ftp speed?
[11:17] <mickster04> so how come grub breaks on a fresh install, when ubuntu is on a second hdd?
[11:17] <mrb260478> i need to use samba
[11:17] <erUSUL> jo-erlend: please read the wiki page i linked. check the version of utilities you are using. use a gpt partition table and recent enough fdisk and gparted
[11:17] <Arney> im still having the squashfs error, now I installed and md5'ed everything to no avail
[11:17] <mrb260478> as i use ubuntu as file server
[11:18] <mrb260478> has it something to do with sysctl.conf
[11:18] <mickster04> mrb260478: well just copy files rather than pasting them?
[11:18] <poss> ok, so what kind of thing would cause an intermittent freezing of the live disc?  what am i looking for?
[11:18] <ikonia> mickster04: doubtful
[11:18] <ikonia> poss: generic hardware problem, ram/cpu/psu/drives
[11:18] <brontoeee> mrb260478, yes and you need to use windows as well, you poor guy, i suggested to check the speed with some other 'protocol', thats it, so you have some sort of values to compare to
[11:18] <mickster04> ikonia: what is?
[11:18] <pwillman> Someone can advice me on 10.10 desktop installation problems?
[11:18] <Graet|> poss cd drive failure would be where i look first
[11:19] <ikonia> mickster04: sorry, that was for mrb260478
[11:19] <mickster04> !someone | pwillman
[11:19] <mickster04> ikonia: kk
[11:19] <przemasu> I forgot : TV is connected by S-Video, not D-SUB or something like this
[11:19] <poss> I have tried two different internal cd drives and an external usb cd drive same issue
[11:19] <poss> so i think cd drive is out
[11:19] <mrb260478> i need to use samba server for copy as well as paste
[11:19] <yarekt> przemasu, is it, errr, are you viewing the terminal on your TV?
[11:19] <przemasu> yes
[11:20] <gaurav_help> how to install themes
[11:20] <yarekt> przemasu, then my above answer still stands
[11:20] <gaurav_help> tar.gz file
[11:20] <ikonia> !themes | gaurav_help
[11:20] <erUSUL> gaurav_help: drag and drop the tar.gz file over the System>Preferences>appearance|| themes dialog window
[11:21] <pwillman> Anyone figured out why 10.10 desktop refuses to install .iso on ntfs with windows vista 64bit?
[11:21] <elricL> pwillman: Install it on ext4
[11:21] <sinisterstuf> pwillman, I don't think you should install Ubuntu on an ntfs filesystem
[11:21] <mickster04> pwillman: that doesn't make sense, what are you trying to achieve? burn the ISO or install ubuntu on ntfs
[11:21] <jo-erlend> erUSUL: ... The problem isnt the tools. The problem is that I need to specify sectors manually because Linux believes my harddisk uses 512B sectors, when in reality it uses 4096B. And I dont know how to calculate this.
[11:21] <sinisterstuf> pwillman, ext4 is recommended
[11:22] <mickster04> jo-erlend: *4?
[11:22] <jo-erlend> mickster04: what does that mean?
[11:22] <gaurav_help> ikonia: i just downlaod login screen from gnome theme but i dont know how to install
[11:22] <ikonia> gaurav_help: you can't change hte login screen
[11:22] <mickster04> jo-erlend: multiply by four?
[11:23] <sinisterstuf> gaurav_help, what login program did it say the theme was for?
[11:23] <gaurav_help> ohhh thanks
[11:23] <sinisterstuf> ikonia, you can't change the login screen? what?
[11:23] <gaurav_help> sinisterstuff :Login screen
[11:23] <jarreboum> Hello, I have lost my /home due to a stupid manipulation. I made a thread about it here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1690690 but I'm afraid no one notice because of the huge amount of replies. Maybe someone here can help me?
[11:23] <ikonia> sinisterstuf: a log of the gdm cusomistations have been locked

[11:24] <sinisterstuf> gaurav_help, in IRC you can press tab to autocomplete nicknames
[11:24] <viggy_prabhu> hi friends, I remember an ebook was released under CC by SA for the basics of Ubuntu for newbies
[11:24] <sinisterstuf> ikonia, i changed mine just yesterday, by customisation though, not by installation of a theme
[11:24] <poss> Ok sacarlson here is that sudo lshw pastebin you asked for http://pastebin.com/TCVDj8ZH
[11:24] <viggy_prabhu> Can anybody please share the link of the ebook
[11:24] <sinisterstuf> ikonia, gaurav_help to my knowledge the same themes that are used by GNOME are usable by GDM
[11:25] <ikonia> sinisterstuf: they are not, gdm is a seperate component
[11:25] <erUSUL> jo-erlend: yes; you are using a drive that uses 4KB phisical sectors but tell theOS it is 512B for compatibility. it is explained in the wiki the problems that this causes and what is the solution. align the partitions to the first MB something newer tools know how to do it
[11:25] <jo-erlend> mickster04: 182401 cylinders * 4 = 729604 sectors? 729604 sectors * 4096 =<PHONE_NUMBER> Bytes? This is a 1.5TB disk...
[11:25] <pwillman> I used wubi install software to get it installed under windowd, but after first boot it says that .iso is unavailable
[11:25] <NielsMkn> :O
[11:26] <NielsMkn> I had the same problem once
[11:26] <sinisterstuf> ikonia, gaurav_help to change the appearance settings of GDM type the following in a terminal: sudo cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/
[11:26] <gaurav_help> i just download a theme tat was install but when i activate tat its shows me u don't install icons but i am seeing tat icin folder is inside tat
[11:26] <poss> So any ideas where I should look next for hardware failure?
[11:26] <pwillman> And if I use iso burned to cd, it doesn't find my hdd
[11:26] <sinisterstuf> gaurav_help, then log out to change the settings
[11:26] <ikonia> poss: it could be ram/cpu/psu/disks anything
[11:26] <sinisterstuf> gaurav_help, when you are done login again and type in a terminal: sudo unlink /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop
[11:27] <jo-erlend> erUSUL: the problem is that I dont have an operating system and I cant spend hours installing ubuntu just to get a partition editor so I can install ubuntu one more time. It would take all day.
[11:27] <sinisterstuf> gaurav_help, that's pretty much the only theming you can do to GDM, if you want to do more you'll have to install a different login manager like SLiM
[11:27] <poss> ikonia, it is not my computer, it is my uncles computer, i just hit update and now im stuck fixing it, please, I am just asking where to look next, i've been working on this for days
[11:27] <erUSUL> jo-erlend: becouse an ubuntu or any other recent linux livecd is so hard to get ...
[11:27] <ikonia> poss: I've just told you what it could be,
[11:28] <poss> anything.
[11:28] <poss> incredibly useful
[11:28] <sinisterstuf> pwillman, I recommend you to avoid using wubi install, it is preferable to put the CD in and reboot to boot from the Ubuntu CD so that Ubuntu does the installing instead of Windows!
[11:28] <ikonia> poss: don't get smart, it could be anyone of those core components, set about testing them
[11:28] <jarreboum> my, I go unnoticed here too. Oh well. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1690690
[11:29] <poss> ok, i've already tested the hard drives, one was failing so i took it out, the remaining one reports no problems. I've run a full grub mem diagnostic, it came back clean that leaves cpu and power supply, and i have no idea how to test those
[11:29] <ikonia> poss: how long did your memtest take ?
[11:30] <poss> about an hour
[11:30] <ikonia> poss: it should take about 18-24 hours to run a full set of tests
[11:30] <pwillman> Sinisterstuf, yeah, i tried that, but then ubuntu can't find my hdd... Only my usb hdd which I use as backup device
[11:30] <jo-erlend> erUSUL: can you explain what this means? For 4KiB physical sector offset-by-one drives, PSS is 4096, LSS 512 and AOFF 3584 and with n of 7 the above becomes,
[11:30] <ikonia> poss: you need to let it run for multiple passes
[11:30] <poss> o.O
[11:30] <poss> woah ok
[11:30] <poss> well then I'll do that
[11:30] <poss> thankyou
[11:30] <ikonia> poss: there are some good guides on the net about how to use memtest
[11:31] <sinisterstuf> pwillman, if it is Ubuntu 10.10 it might have small text at the bottom saying there are other partitions (eg. Windows partitions) that are hidden and to use the Advanced partitioning tool to view them
[11:31] <ikonia> poss: there are also good guides on the net to test things like psu/cpu/ram/overheating problems/voltage stablility issues etc
[11:32] <erUSUL> jo-erlend: no; i can not. i am not a storage hardware engeenier nor i do have to writte ata drivers for the linux kernel. others take care of that for me. but i quote « Overall, distributions being released after Spring of 2010 with the updated tools shouldn't have much problem aligning and dealing with 4KiB physical sector drives. If you are working on or testing a distro, please make sure all storage related tools are up-to-date and aligning disks pr
[11:32] <yarekt> poss, ubuntu install can never break the hardware, if you unplug everything except CDRom, CPU, Memory and PSU and if the Live CD still freezes, then its a hw problem for sure. The do come at most unsuspecting times
[11:33] <pwillman> Sinisterstuf, oh I need to check it again then when I get home from work. I hope that works like that... Thank you for your help.
[11:33] <sinisterstuf> jarreboum, unfortunately I'm really unfamiliar with your problem, the only thing I can think of is to install testdisk or photorec to try to recover your data that way, even after formatting a drive, data from that drive can usually still be recovered (I've done it with those tools)
[11:34] <sinisterstuf> pwillman, you're welcome, I hope that solves your problem, it hides them to stop you from accidentally reformatting your windows partition etc.
[11:34] <mys> Ubuntu Maverick :Hi , I'm chrooting an application from my laptop to my netbook on the same network(same ip address) and I always get :  export DISPLAY=:0.0
[11:34] <mys>  then  minitube: cannot connect to X server :0.0 .I already disabled the nolisten tcp on my kdm configuration .Could somebody help me , please.
[11:34] <jarreboum> thank you sinisterstuf
[11:34] <sinisterstuf> jarreboum, you're welcome, I hope that helps
[11:34] <ikonia> mys: you can't do that from within a chroot
[11:34] <ikonia> mys: it will be running the binaries of your chroot against the running display of your X server outside the chroot
[11:35] <jo-erlend> erUSUL: I am trying to install 10.04. But I dont suppose the new distros have a database of all harddisks, or do they? Otherwise, how would they know that this is a 4096B disk when it doesnt say so?
[11:35] <pwillman> Sinisterstuf, and ubuntu understands sata drives right?
[11:35] <sinisterstuf> pwillman, that's right
[11:36] <mys> Thanks for your quick answer ikonia .why I did succeded to do it with a Xephyr and another X display .I want to display an application of the chroot on my current X display.
[11:36] <pwillman> Sinisterstuf, cool, thank you for help
[11:37] <ikonia> mys: your environment within the chroot for 0:0 is the consoles that's already running outside your chroot
[11:37] <sinisterstuf> pwillman, you're welcome :)
[11:38] <Arney> My ubuntu installation fails just as badly when I have my usb inserted, as when I do not
[11:39] <mys> ikonia: ? .I don't care which cli commands I have to type , It's just that I want to display a gui app from the chroot on the X display I 'm currently using.If you could be so kind to explain me the right steps, it would be so welcome.

[11:59] <Arney> fuck my life. There was an sd card stub on my laptop, linux thought that that was the usb. So it didnt find any files
[11:59] <sinisterstuf> what manpage gives info about signals eg SIGKILL, SIGTERM etc.?
[11:59] <red2kic> gaurav_help: Look in ~/.themes

[11:59] <nagel182> hello again..
[11:59] <sinisterstuf> erUSUL, perfect, thanks!
[11:59] <erUSUL> sinisterstuf: what info are you looking for?
[12:00] <nagel182> is here any apache2 guru?
[12:00] <sinisterstuf> erUSUL, I just wanted to find out more about the numbers and what commands they correspond to
[12:00] <erUSUL> nagel182: probably more in #httpd
[12:01] <thornbird> @sinisterstuff:  You can try kill -l on your command-line.
[12:01] <sacarlson> poss: even if memtest passes I would try at least reposition your mem sims to opposite positions if that fails try run with just one sim instead of two if both sims fail individualy and all other devices are disabled then I"m out of ideas
[12:01] <gaurav_help> red2kic, i installed but its showing required icon theme is not installed but i see the icons folder r inside tat
[12:03] <jarreboum> fyi I just did a fsck on my faulty disk. After a little struggle, it apparently retrieved successfully my /home partition. I'm rebooting now, wish me luck.
[12:03] <red2kic> gaurav_help: It should go in ~/.icons
[12:04] <red2kic> gaurav_help: The theme you downloaded -- The author did not do it properly.
[12:04] <sinisterstuf> thornbird, what is the -l option for?
[12:04] <red2kic> gaurav_help: Or you didn't read the README.txt (if any).
[12:04] <LikesFruit> i just installed the restricted drives on ubuntu 10.10. then i run the command sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart, so the changes would take effect. but the GUI does not show backup how can i remove what i did via the terminal. i do not want to restart my computer becuase i am using the live CD
[12:05] <thornbird> kill -l will list all the signals supported on your system.
[12:07] <sinisterstuf> thornbird, cool, thanks!
[12:07] <thornbird> No problem.

[12:17] <XLV> jkprg, crude solution, but try orbit downloader through wine
[12:17] <Odaym> when i see a "c" in "ls -l"
[12:17] <Odaym> that means....
[12:17] <Odaym> i know the word
[12:17] <Odaym> l is link
[12:17] <sinisterstuf> jkprg, read the manpage for wget, there's a chance it might have a solution for you, it's very flexible
[12:17] <yarekt> jkprg, axel
[12:17] <Odaym> - is file, d is dir..
[12:17] <erUSUL> Odaym: character device
[12:17] <Odaym> character device
[12:17] <Odaym> ok
[12:18] <Odaym> and b is BLOCK device
[12:18] <erUSUL> !info axel | XLV
[12:18] <jkprg> thx guys

[12:18] <erUSUL> !details | jkprg
[12:19] <erUSUL> sorry
[12:19] <erUSUL> jkprg: the axel info was mweant for you. axel can do multithreath connections
[12:19]  * erUSUL needs more coffee
[12:19] <sinisterstuf> ^
[12:19] <XLV> erUSUL, well, what more details? i tried everything i know, checked UUIDs, tried installing grub with grub-install /dev/sda, it produced no errors, but on the next boot i was dropped to a grub shell
[12:20] <yarekt> there is a newer one than axel tho, but the name escapes me
[12:20] <erUSUL> XLV: with no error message?
[12:20] <XLV> erUSUL, no error message, just a grub shell
[12:20] <sacarlson> xlv: I guess I would just create the needed partitions with the desired sizes with gparted then just  from a live cd or system you don't plan to move yet mount the from to disk partitions and sudo cp -a /from/path/  /to/path/  I guess maybe some /etc/fstab mods would also be needed, then install grub2
[12:21] <Odaym> i've got my coffee here
[12:21] <Odaym> < happy camper
[12:22] <XLV> sacarlson, the partitions i moved ( i used acronis true image for the ntfs ones and gparted from the linux ones ) are all readable/mountable from within a ubuntu livecd, dont see how using cp instead of gparted would alter anything
[12:23] <thechef> Is there a tool to do set operations on filesystem directories? Such as: copy all files that are in directory A and that are not in directory B to directory C?
[12:23] <Odaym> what if i enter "watch ls -A &"
[12:23] <Odaym> this operation will keep running in the background?
[12:23] <sacarlson> xlv: I guess gparted copy might work also but what happens to the uuid on the new disks?
[12:24] <Odaym> aha, it works
[12:24] <Odaym> and it gives me an id for it
[12:24] <Odaym> now i can 'fg' it
[12:24] <XLV> sacarlson, checked them... they are the same
[12:25] <erUSUL> XLV: grub-install /dev/sda is not enough afaik you have to pass --root-directory=DIR
[12:25] <XLV> sacarlson, with blkid from within a ubuntu live cd
[12:25] <erUSUL> XLV: or grub wont find grub.cfg and other files it needs to boot
[12:25] <XLV> erUSUL, did that.. i also chrooted
[12:25] <sacarlson> xlv: then I guess all that's left is grub2 install but maybe gparted does that too?
[12:26] <XLV> erUSUL, tried once with grub-install --root-directory= it failed, second time with chroot ( and didnt use the --root-directory ) it faled again
[12:26] <WritMx> hi
[12:26] <sacarlson> xlv: if grub needs install then all that's left is sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
[12:27] <openSUSEkorisnik> Any chrome users have issues with uploading photos which causes a crash?
[12:28] <XLV> sacarlson, already tried that.. with both possible ways ( --root-directory and chroot )
[12:28] <sacarlson> xlv: sda1 = sdaX  depending on your boot partition location  and if you have a  separate /boot partition then you might need to see something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/562593/
[12:28] <Odaym> how many commands does 'history' store?
[12:28] <sier> have brasileiro here ?
[12:28] <erUSUL> XLV: did you run sudo update-grub in the chroot ?
[12:28] <Odaym> isn't it 500?
[12:29] <XLV> sacarlson, no separate boot partition.. sda1 is the right hdd
[12:29] <erUSUL> XLV: grub promt with no error message points to missing or wrong grub.cfg
[12:29] <XLV> erUSUL, yes.. and grub-mkdevices and all
[12:29] <sacarlson> xlv: so what's the problem then?  you getting errors?
[12:29] <antivirtel> hello!

[12:30] <antivirtel> I'm looking for some FREE methods, how to share an USB device over lan; the better is from win, to ubuntu... is it possible for free?
[12:31] <sacarlson> xlv: ok lets see from your live cd boot ,  sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[12:31] <SniperShot> Hi everybody.
[12:31] <djd> erUSUL:i doesn seem to work
[12:31] <erUSUL> antivirtel: i dunno in windows... in linux there is a driver to do usb over ip iirc
[12:31] <Odaym> lol @ | pastebinit
[12:31] <erUSUL> djd: it does
[12:31] <djd> erUSUL:.nautilus?
[12:32] <antivirtel> erUSUL ok, I look for "iirc"
[12:32] <erUSUL> djd: no « nautilus . »
[12:32] <erUSUL> antivirtel: iirc is if i recall correctly
[12:32] <djd> thank you

[12:34] <SniperShot> Please, can someone give me a link about installation issues for Ubuntu 10.04 and Xubuntu 10.04? I'm having problems with alternate CD installation on old PCs.
[12:34] <elderman> Hello, I had trouble logging in to my non-admin account today after adding an rsa key pair to my key chain.  Two function declarations in .profile didn't work and so prevented log-in.  I fixed it by commenting out the function syntax in .profile, but would like to know how to fix it for good, and not through the hack.  My ubuntuforums thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1690726.
[12:34] <sacarlson> xlv: also lets see sudo blkid | pastebinit;  cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit
[12:34] <antivirtel> erUSUL can you link that? i have no result :(
[12:35] <sacarlson> xlv: note the /etc/fstab from the partition you chose in grub2 install
[12:35] <erUSUL> antivirtel: http://usbip.sourceforge.net/
[12:35] <erUSUL> antivirtel: it only works in linux machines
[12:36] <erUSUL> Odaym: !! is expanded by the shell. see history expansion in man bash
[12:36] <antivirtel> erUSUL ok, thanks, I look at it
[12:36] <erUSUL> XLV: have you tried to boot the machine like this ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Using CLI to Boot <<< ?
[12:36] <yarekt> does every shell on the system source /etc/profile ? including ones started by php's exec() ?
[12:37] <Odaym> erUSUL, i can keep piping to infinity, usually?
[12:38] <madjoe> is there a substitute in bash to show my system properties? something like when you click to see your PC config in GUI?
[12:38] <sier> ok
[12:38] <Odaym> man bash | grep 'history expansion' >> history | less history | wc
[12:38] <erUSUL> yarekt: only login shells use profile afaik
[12:38] <erUSUL> madjoe: lshw
[12:38] <yarekt> erUSUL, where do other shells get their path from?
[12:38] <erUSUL> Odaym: that is not correct
[12:39] <madjoe> erUSUL: thanks
[12:39] <erUSUL> yarekt: /etc/environment ? they inherit it from their parents?
[12:39] <yarekt> erUSUL, true. thanks
[12:39] <Zoffix> Hi. I'm on 10.04 here, and I'd like to upgrade to 10.10, but there's no "New Distribution Available" button in the Update Manager... how come?
[12:40] <mys> see in synapticks if you have enabled show all distributions for upgrades
[12:40] <erUSUL> Zoffix: you may have to enable normal updates in the system>admin..>software sources in the updates tab at the bottom
[12:40] <antivirtel> thanks erUSUL :) it has windows client :) it might be useful :)
[12:41] <erUSUL> antivirtel: good to know
[12:41] <yarekt> erUSUL, what about init scripts. they are launched by init. but some of them seem to source /etc/default/rcS
[12:41] <Mavrik> um, how do I disable "right click" when I tap with two fingers on my touchpad? It's annoying with two-finger scrolling enabled.
[12:41] <erUSUL> Mavrik: try in System>Preferences>Mouse...
[12:42] <Zoffix> erUSUL, mys, thanks, that was it! I had "LTC Only" selected :)
[12:42] <Mavrik> erUSUL: I did, there's only the option to disable all tap-to-click functionality
[12:42] <erUSUL> Zoffix: no problem. is the default setting ( LTS only that's it )
[12:43] <elderman> Has anyone else had this problem of not being able to log in after first adding a key to the rsa keychain?
[12:43] <erUSUL> Mavrik: then i dunno
[12:43] <mys> Zoffix,Be aware of saving your informations first as well as the configuration you use as there can be some borking .
[12:43] <raheel> hi there

[12:50] <openSUSEkorisnik> Anyone have resolved crash issue on Google chrome whenuploading?
[12:50] <elderman> billmania, I don't know what to do with that
[12:50] <SpeedrunnerG55> it comes up with a list of linux headders, should i "do the list of selected items?"
[12:50] <billmania> elderman: What to do with the vendor and product ID?
[12:50] <elderman> are those Canonical numbers?
[12:50] <elderman> yeah, I'm a visitor here like you
[12:50] <billmania> Can you run "lsusb" on your computer, after your Samsung phone is connected?
[12:51] <SpeedrunnerG55> idk
[12:51] <victor> hello, can anyone help me with a user password problem please?
[12:51] <stianhj> SpeedrunnerG55, what kind of samsung phone is it?
[12:51] <SpeedrunnerG55> phone?
[12:52] <billmania> stianhj: I have the Samsung SCH-U640, 05c6:1000.
[12:52] <stianhj> sorry, that was meant for billmania
[12:52] <raheel> i really need help on this one am tired googling
[12:52] <billmania> stianhj: I have the Samsung SCH-U640, 05c6:1000.
[12:52] <raheel> i really need help on this one am tired googling
[12:53] <stianhj> billmania, have you checkout wammu?
[12:53] <sacarlson> raheel: I found something http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.4/accounting.html  seems as easy as /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printer -o job-quota-period=604800 \     -o job-page-limit=100 ENTER
[12:53] <stianhj> billmania, probably not right.. but wammu.eu
[12:54] <billmania> stianhj: No, I don't know what "wammu" is. Let me search a bit now.
[12:54] <elderman> billmania, I'm searching for the right cable.  Hopefully stianhj can help you better than I can
[12:54] <raheel> sacarlson thanks but this would limit for pages for a period that you have defined. what if some one sends a documents with 100 pages how to limit that to say 5
[12:55] <billmania> elderman: OK. Let me know once your Samsung phone is connected. I'd like to see if you have the same model as I have.
[12:55] <Odaym> SpeedrunnerG55, do you have a firewall up?
[12:55] <sacarlson> raheel:  maybe make the period smaller,  how long does it take to print 5 pages?  make that the period
[12:55] <victor> hello, can anyone help me with a user password problem please?
[12:56] <billmania> victor: Describe your password problem.
[12:56] <juk> !ask | victor
[12:56] <mys> What's the pb victor
[12:56] <juk> !repeat | victor
[12:56] <victor> ok thank you
[12:56] <victor> here the problem
[12:56] <SpeedrunnerG55> ughh i dont tknow. is it a default feature?
[12:57] <Odaym> it is there by default, but it is not enabled
[12:57] <Odaym> go to terminal, SpeedrunnerG55, and be patient :P
[12:57] <Odaym> type "sudo ufw enable"
[12:57] <Bodsda> Hi - I have a HP photosmart C4700 Printer/Scanner/Copier that is connected to my wifi network. It works really well, when I use xsane to scan. But My printer has an option that allows it to scan to the PC (the printer initiating the scan, not xsane) but it doesnt seem to work. It just times out. I know that connection issues are out of the picture as it works from xsane. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a setting in xsane I can set to allow this
[12:57] <raheel> but if some one has by mistake sent a huge document for printing those pages will still get printed even if i try to reduce the period limit to say 10 seconds
[12:58] <juk> raheel: why you think it's related to cups?
[12:58] <Odaym> now it is up, SpeedrunnerG55, now you can "sudo apt-get install firestarter", Firestarter is a GUI tool to manage this firewall that you have put up, it is NOT the firewall itself, so leaving it or exiting it will not stop the firewall from being up
[12:59] <raheel> juk i dont think it is related to cups. i just need any solution to control the maximum page limit PER JOB. that is it!
[12:59] <victor> when i change the password of the user 'victor' on my laptop and i reboot, the "startx" session crash
[13:00] <juk> raheel: isn't *one* who prints supposed to know how many pages one needs?
[13:00] <victor> at booting, it says something like "Nautilus is unable to create the folder .Desktop"
[13:00] <Stevezau> anyone know how to stop ubuntu detecting a ir receiver as a keyboard or how to disable it ?? hal or?
[13:00] <erUSUL> juk: http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/ref-printers-conf.html <<< search PageLimit in that page
[13:01] <raheel> juk ofcourse. but most of the times a single documents has more than 20 pages. and if the user sends the complete document all pages are printed. i wanna know is it even possible to limit max pages per job or not?
[13:02] <raheel> any help sacarlson
[13:02] <LogicallyDashing> How do I make a custom Ubuntu LinneCD?
[13:02] <sacarlson> raheel: so you didn't like my last idea?
[13:02] <Fuwex> Hi
[13:03] <erUSUL> !remaster
[13:03] <jenia> How do I configure gnome, so that it starts in compiz mode instead of me starting it every time, when I load gnome?
[13:03] <erUSUL> raheel: http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/ref-printers-conf.html <<< search PageLimit in that page
[13:04] <raheel> sacarlson i like it but after giving it a thought i think the document will still be in the pending list and will print
[13:04] <erUSUL> jenia: System>Preferences>appearance||effects tab.
[13:05] <elderman> billmania, still looking
[13:05] <raheel> sacarlson it will only stop accepting jobs for that e.g 10 sec period
[13:05] <sacarlson> raheel:  well you can always reset cups to kill all pending stuf in some cron every 5min or whatever you set your period to
[13:05] <elderman> billmania, obviously I don't use it often
[13:06] <billmania> elderman: OK. I found the Wammu site which stian mentioned. It's http://wammu.eu/phones. My particular Samsung doesn't appear to be supported by Wammu/Gammu.
[13:06] <jenia> erUSUL: It doesn't work, I change it in effects, then when I restart computer, or logout-logon from-to gnome, the effects are off again and I have to turn it on again. Maybe there is some config file I can check.
[13:07] <erUSUL> jenia: brute force solution. install and use fusion-icon
[13:07] <sacarlson> raheel: but I'm sure someone with bad luck will hit the moment he prints one the window that it resets and losses pages but sounds like no mater what system you use they will loose pages anyway
[13:08] <raheel> sacarlson may be but i am not so sure.
[13:09] <juk> erUSUL: ah, thanks, i lag a bit today
[13:09] <juk> raheel: /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printername -o job-page-limit=1234
[13:10] <erUSUL> anyway he should be asking in ##cups imho
[13:10] <backslash7> Hi folks, what's the most recent kernel version available in 10.10?
[13:10] <sacarlson> raheel: I have another more involved idea that requires your cron bash script to only reset if it detects a print que in progress give it time to print 5 sheets then reset
[13:11] <erUSUL> !info linux-kernel
[13:11] <erUSUL> !info linux-image
[13:11] <brontoeee> kernel is optional? :)
[13:12] <raheel> juk your idea of using /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printername -o job-page-limit=1234 will stop printing after 1234 amount of pages has been reached. that is the maximum quota for that printer not for a single job
[13:12] <erUSUL> brontoeee: linux-image *meta*package is :P
[13:12] <raheel> sacarlson yeah maybe that would work what do you precisely suggest?
[13:13] <victor>  when i change the password of the user 'victor' on my laptop and i reboot, the "startx" session crash. At booting, it says something like "Nautilus is unable to create the folder .Desktop". I have to re change the new password for the older one and the session works. I'm thinking about a file where the password isn't change correctly ?
[13:13] <dvolaart> Isthere a way to turn on youre wireless? i've a ZyDAS ZD1211 802.11g Wireless in my asus A9RP. lsusb shows me this: ZyDAS ZD1211 802.11g Wireless. can i turn the wireless on?
[13:13] <backslash7> erUSUL: Is 2.6.35 the most recent kernel available on 10.10?
[13:14] <FloodBot3> !netsplit
[13:14] <erUSUL> yes
[13:14] <FloodBot2> !netsplit
[13:14] <erUSUL> backslash7: yes
[13:14] <MysterX> Isthere a way to turn on youre wireless? i've a ZyDAS ZD1211 802.11g Wireless in my asus A9RP. lsusb shows me this: ZyDAS ZD1211 802.11g Wireless. can i turn the wireless on?

[13:14] <juk> victor: can you pastebin crach log
[13:15] <victor> juk: is there a crash report in a file ?
[13:15] <sacarlson> raheel: I suggest you just use the que limits already provided in cups,  if you want to add my script idea that's up to you
[13:15] <juk> victor: or perhaps report bug
[13:15] <MysterX> someone knows an awnser to my question?
[13:15] <Salad222> hi
[13:16] <Salad222> this might be a stupid question but how can i get "real" root user on ubuntu?
[13:16] <LjL> !root | Salad222
[13:16] <erUSUL> raheel: according to cups docs job-page-limit aplies to jobs which is not surprising given the name it has
[13:16] <juk> victor: you were saying startx charshes, it should be in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[13:16] <Senjai> Salad222, yes
[13:16] <Senjai> Salad222, you can
[13:16] <victor> juk : ok, i will reboot and get the correct error message. Be back
[13:16] <juk> victor: cheers
[13:16] <erUSUL> raheel: http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.4/accounting.html
[13:17] <Senjai> Salad222, what do you need? Graphical root or terminal root?
[13:17] <LjL> !noroot | Senjai
[13:17] <silverlightning> hi
[13:17] <raheel> erUSUL i am going to double check it and try it once again right now and let you know of the result
[13:17] <LjL> Salad222: just use "sudo -i" if you need a root shell
[13:17] <MysterX> ubottu: do know how to turn on wireless? i've an Zydas ZD1211.
[13:17] <MysterX> lol
[13:17] <erUSUL> raheel: here in the docs « For quotas to be enforced, the period and at least one of the limits must be set to a non-zero value.  »

[13:17] <silverlightning> do you know if mintlinux is a version of Ubuntu linux?
[13:18] <silverlightning> the do seem to be related
[13:18] <LjL> silverlightning: it's an unofficial derivative (it's not supported here)
[13:18] <Bodsda> silverlightning: its not
[13:18] <jiohdi> silverlightning, they are both built from debian
[13:18] <silverlightning> I see
[13:18] <erUSUL> raheel: again you should be asking this kind of stuff in ##cups
[13:18] <elderman> Does anyone know a good place to get help with rsa, ssh, and logging in.  I've had trouble accessing one of my accounts.
[13:18] <silverlightning> I have the regular Ubuntu
[13:18] <jiohdi> silverlightning, mint has more restricted stuff from the get go other than that its about the same
[13:18] <skilz> how do I kill the x session? ctrl+alt+bkspce does not work
[13:18] <Senjai> If you have ubuntu, here :)
[13:19] <silverlightning> I have Maveric
[13:19] <MysterX> thanks Senjai i will search further :D
[13:19] <Fuwex> What would be the best way of booting into X and running a single application on that X server as a normal user? I'm working on an application which is intended for a single-user environment. The computer should boot, start X and run the application on the X server, without any interference from a login window (e.g. gdm) or window manager.
[13:19] <Senjai> elderman, if it's about networking, perhaps #networking, but we can try here
[13:19] <silverlightning> I have some issues with booting
[13:19] <Senjai> !ask | silverlightning
[13:19] <Senjai> Whats up?
[13:19] <Senjai> :)
[13:19] <Bodsda> skilz: ctrl+alt+bkspace can be turned on or off in xorg.conf or with the dontzap package
[13:20] <elderman> Senjai, it's not really about networking.  I added an rsa pair to my keyring, then couldn't log in.  Found the problem in my .profile, hacked it, but would like to figure out how to fix it better.
[13:20] <Bodsda> skilz: try something like   killall Xorg
[13:20] <erUSUL> !dontzap | skilz
[13:21] <silverlightning> Booting is a bit irregular, it sometimes stops with the Ubuntu logo, and I have to retry
[13:21] <Senjai> elderman, I wish I could help you more with that :(
[13:21] <Senjai> !msg the bot | Senjai
[13:21] <elderman> Senjai, thank you
[13:21] <Stevezau> if im on a linux terminal and i have a device which registers its self as a keyboard to the kernel, what is listening for the events of that keyboard?? Im trying to disable one of the keyboards..
[13:23] <billmania> elderman: Any luck connecting your Samsung phone to your computer?
[13:23] <elderman> the cable is MIA, I'm afraid
[13:23] <elderman> very sorry
[13:23] <MysterX> Senjai: i am looking on the page youre giving.. the wireless chip is not in the list.. but i think ubuntu reconse it it hink
[13:23] <billmania> elderman: No worries. I'll keep digging on my end.
[13:24] <elderman> billmania, I'm going to give another look 'round the flat...
[13:24] <billmania> elderman: Thanks.
[13:24] <Senjai> MysterX, what wireless card are you using
[13:24] <Senjai> MysterX, have you installed a driver for it yet?
[13:24] <MysterX> Senjai: ZyDAS ZD1211 802.11g Wireless
[13:25] <Senjai> Your on 10.10 right? Have you installed its' driver?
[13:25] <MysterX> no not installed a driver at all... i hoped that ubunthu its reconized...
[13:26] <Senjai> Ubuntu does recognize major cards, and then recognizes that a driver needs to be installed and fetches it for you
[13:26] <MysterX> so lsusb shows me this: ZyDAS ZD1211 802.11g Wireless doesn't mean that he installed the driver...
[13:27] <Senjai> Hmm.
[13:27] <victor> juk : i have change my password, then reboot and here the error messages that i got : First one "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/victor/.ICEauthority", Second "Nautilus could not create the following required folders /home/victor/Desktop, /home/victor/.nautilus. Before running Nautilus, please create these folders, or set permissions such that Nautilus can create them"
[13:27] <Senjai> Is this an external wireless card?
[13:28] <MysterX> Senjai: no.. but for my .. what does lsusb shows?
[13:29] <Senjai> one sec
[13:29] <Senjai> MysterX, Ill try and help figure this out with you
[13:30] <sacarlson> victor: sounds like you might of had an encrypted /home/user ,  when you change password on the acount the encyption password is not changed
[13:30] <Senjai>   lsusb  is  a  utility for displaying information about USB buses in the
[13:30] <Senjai>        system and the devices connected to them
[13:30] <raheel> ok GUYs i have tried out the command /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printername -o job-page-limit=5 and when i send a print of any number of pages less or more than five i get error could not print. the /var/log/cups/error.log contains Returning IPP client-error-not-possible for Create-Job (ipp://localhost:631/printers/ML-1610) from localhost WHAT TO DO???
[13:30] <Senjai> You can't enable the device?
[13:30] <rany27> I once typed a command to reveal a specific host computer's name and I got a lot of information about that specific computer identified by an IP i gave. What was that command? can you help me remember?
[13:30] <Senjai> MysterX, You can't enable the device?
[13:30] <raheel> removing the job limit resumes printing
[13:31] <Senjai> rany27, whois? nslookup?
[13:31] <MysterX> Senjai: i would if i know how.. fn+f2 doesn't work
[13:31] <rany27> Senjai: I'll try those but just saying that I got a LOT of information. even the server's owner's name.  It might force the wireless to update
[13:32] <sacarlson> raheel: I guess without a quota period it won't work
[13:32] <rany27> Senjai: whois sounds familiar.
[13:32] <Senjai> rany27, it's whois
[13:32] <Senjai> rany27, thats what you want
[13:32] <rany27> Senjai: Thanks a lot.
[13:32] <MysterX> Senjai: i am on ehternet right know
[13:32] <victor> sacarlson : no i haven't encrypted folders. But how can i be sure of it?
[13:32] <Senjai> MysterX, Duh.. lol
[13:32] <MysterX> i've also run the update :D
[13:33] <Senjai> MysterX, run sudo ifconfig
[13:33] <sacarlson> victor: you can see with sudo mount
[13:33] <Senjai> and put the output to pastebin.com
[13:33] <zamba> how can i disable the lock on the screensaver globally?
[13:33] <Fuwex> I'll simplify my earlier question: what is the best way of launching the X server at boot? (I don't want to launch any window managers or login (gdm))
[13:34] <Fuwex> Ubuntu 10.10, that is
[13:34] <blkdg> hello, i am using ubuntu 10.4. 32 bit, and it is completely patched.  It has a SIS integrated video card.  I have turned the screen saver off. When I Suspend the machine, the monitor turns Off.  How can I get it to function after the Suspend ends?
[13:34] <victor> sacarlson : no encrypted folders
[13:34] <elderman> billmania, I apologize.  No luck.  Well and truly gone.  (found a lot of other other things of no use to you...)
[13:34] <XLV> erUSUL, sacarlson thanks.. fixed it.. erUSUL you were right, grub.cfg wasnt there, needed an upgrade to grub2, now it boots. thanks again
[13:34] <billmania> elderman: Thanks for trying. It will turn up when and where you least expect it.
[13:34] <raheel> let me try and set the quota period too to 5 secs and see.
[13:34] <blkdg> Fuwex, try startx
[13:34] <MysterX> Senjai: http://pastebin.com/VTmtRCMJ
[13:35] <Senjai> Fuwex, I'm just gonna guess and say, delete the window manager?
[13:35] <MysterX> he has ha wlan0
[13:35] <MysterX> device
[13:35] <billmania> elderman: I'm chasing down pmount and usbmount now. No luck with gammu/wammu.
[13:35] <sacarlson> XLV: oh I never thought about not having grub2 installed very good
[13:35] <Senjai> MysterX, one sec
[13:35] <Fuwex> blkdg, Senjai: simply having Xorg installed doesn't make it launch at boot
[13:35] <elderman> I'm going to look at what of those I have installed
[13:36] <XLV> so people.. if you had upgraded to 10.10 from previous ubuntu versions ( i had that distrib for ages and upgraded through subsequent releases ) ...  But this doesn't work all this well anymore, I gather
[13:36] <XLV> sh*t
[13:36] <elderman> billmania, I have pmount installed
[13:37] <Senjai> Fuwex, System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications, dont know the command line equiv
[13:37] <elderman> not the others
[13:37] <blkdg> Fuwex, you need to config X. try X -configure
[13:37] <Senjai> MysterX, Try: System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers
[13:37] <elderman> and my Samsung phone connected without a hitch
[13:37] <XLV> erUSUL, sacarlson thanks.. fixed it.. erUSUL you were right, grub.cfg wasnt there, needed an upgrade to grub2, now it boots. thanks again ( if you didnt get it cause you disconnected )
[13:37] <MysterX> hmm Senjai already did he pop's up with a modem driver..
[13:37] <Senjai> And... you don't have a modem :P
[13:38] <Fuwex> Senjai: well, I'd like to achieve it on a base system with Xorg as the only package installed. Meaning I don't have a desktop
[13:38] <MysterX> Senjai: yes i do..
[13:38] <Fuwex> blkdg, I'll check it out, thanks
[13:38] <blkdg> Fuwex, then cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[13:38] <erUSUL> XLV: no problem; glasd i helped ;P
[13:38] <blkdg> Fuwex, http://askubuntu.com/questions/4662/where-is-the-x-org-config-file-how-do-i-configure-x-there
[13:38] <Senjai> Fuwex,  you're past my knowledge level, sorry I couldn't help you further
[13:38] <erUSUL> glad*
[13:38] <MysterX> Senjai: i must go know.. i should install the modem driver and gome bsck to you
[13:38] <MysterX> thanks for youre time ! :)
[13:38] <Senjai> MysterX, good luck :)
[13:39] <blkdg> Fuwex, then a simple startx from the term should get it going
[13:39]  * Senjai goes back to emacs, query if need anything .
[13:39] <raheel> i set the quota period to 1 sec and page limit to 2 pages but all pages are printing normally STRANGE.....
[13:39] <Fuwex> blkdg: it needs to happen automatically at boot. Essentially, what I need to know, is where I can put a script that launches 'startx' at the proper time during boot :)
[13:40] <Fuwex> Senjai: thanks for your help anyway :)
[13:40] <Senjai|emacs|> Fuwex, best of luck to you :)
[13:40] <Fuwex> Thank you
[13:41] <Fuwex> All right, let's simplify further: How can I make a script launch during boot? Specifically, the last script to run during the boot process
[13:42] <Fuwex> it used to be so simple in earlier versions of Ubuntu, e.g. /etc/init.d/local I think it was
[13:42] <Senjai|emacs|> Fuwex, if you use Grub, can't you edit the pre-boot commands? maybe you could disable things there, just a thought
[13:43] <Fuwex> Senjai|emacs|, I think maybe pre-boot is a little early to start the X server.. Unless I misunderstand you?
[13:43] <Senjai|emacs|> Fuwex, maybe there are flags to prevent loading certain services is what I meant, though I know nothing about linux boot commands
[13:44] <Senjai|emacs|> Fuwex, this is possible for windows (where most of my expertise lies)
[13:44] <sacarlson> Fuwex: I normaly use crontab with @reboot  /home/user/scripttorun.sh ,  in the script I sometimes add sleep to be sure the system is stable before it runs
[13:45] <randomnoob> why is it that when i plug in my headphones i can't hear any audio, but my loudspeakers work perfectly fine?
[13:45] <Senjai|emacs|> sacarlson, so pro :)
[13:45] <Senjai|emacs|> randomnoob, are your loudspeakers external?
[13:45] <randomnoob> Senjai|emacs|: nope, laptop
[13:45] <blkdg> randomnoob, check mixer
[13:45] <randomnoob> blkdg: there are no controls specific to the headphones
[13:46] <Senjai|emacs|> randomnoob, have you tried plugging other speakers in? Check mixer like blkdg said, does your loudspeakers shut off when you hook your headphones in?
[13:46] <randomnoob> or am i looking in the wrong place?
[13:46] <hiexpo> what is the chess game that comesin ubuntu 9.10
[13:46] <joth> I just tried to upgrade the kernel on Maverick, and now my laptop won't boot up; it says there's a problem with /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 - can anyone help please?
[13:46] <blkdg> Fuwex, http://nixcraft.com/linux-software/491-start-x-server-ubuntu-linux.html
[13:46] <randomnoob> Senjai|emacs|: I know that they work if that's what you're asking about and yes, the loudspeakers do shut off
[13:46] <joth> (upgrading to kernel 2.6.36)
[13:46] <victor> sacarlson, juk : thank you for your time. Good bye
[13:47] <randomnoob> Senjai|emacs|: alsamixer doesn't show anything regarding headphones, where exactly should i look?
[13:47] <blkdg> randomnoob, is it a laptop?
[13:47] <randomnoob> blkdg: yep
[13:47] <Fuwex> I did find an /etc/rc.local script. Perhaps this is exactly what I need? I will try it
[13:48] <mah45> Ubuntu do not copy /etc/skel into home directory ! Why ?
[13:48] <mah45> for example .bashrc
[13:48] <Fuwex> blkdg: thanks, but I have no problem starting X, it's just a matter of executing 'startx' at boot :)
[13:48] <blkdg> randomnoob, then Senjai has a point. My laptop's speakers shut off automagically when the jack goes in
[13:49] <juk> victor: did you report a bug?
[13:49] <drizt> hello how do i update package with pkcon ?
[13:49] <drizt> i use Ubuntu 10.04
[13:50] <blkdg> Fuwex, http://www.go2linux.org/how-to-install-startx
[13:50] <Fuwex> all right, I got it working now
[13:50] <victor> juk : no i haven't. I will try to fix it later with one my system teacher. Thank you for your time. Bye
[13:50] <blkdg> Fuwex, cool
[13:50] <Fuwex> seems /etc/rc.local was the script I was looking for
[13:50] <juk> victor: i don't care, whatever
[13:50] <Fuwex> blkdg, but thanks for your help
[13:51] <joth> Has anyone got any ideas?
[13:51] <randomnoob> so... any ideas guys?
[13:51] <Senjai|emacs|> sorry random, zoned out for a bit
[13:51] <blkdg> randomnoob, how may 1/4 inch jacks you got?
[13:51] <randomnoob> np, that's the beauty of irc
[13:51] <speedrunnerG55> i enabled the firewall
[13:52] <speedrunnerG55> now i cant connect to the interney
[13:52] <Senjai|emacs|> I don't have any other ideas. maybe this will help?
[13:52] <randomnoob> blkdg: hmm?
[13:52] <Senjai|emacs|> !sound | randomnoob
[13:52] <blkdg> randomnoob, how many input jacks are there on the laptop
[13:52] <Senjai|emacs|> randomnoob, not sure if anything that can help you is there, worth a check though
[13:52] <Odaym> any supercow
[13:52] <Odaym> what? haha
[13:52] <Odaym> i mean
[13:52] <Odaym> any idea what supercow is?
[13:53] <randomnoob> Senjai|emacs|: I'll check the troubleshooting page, thanks :)
[13:53] <Odaym> speedrunnerG55, "sudo ufw disable"
[13:53] <blkdg> randomnoob, for instance, my line out never works, so I must use the other out line
[13:53] <randomnoob> blkdg: two, one for headphones and one for the mic
[13:53] <blkdg> oh.
[13:53] <blkdg> what sound card is it?
[13:53] <sacarlson> speedrunnerG55: there is really no need for a firewall unless you want to filter certain ports access to different sources
[13:53] <raheel> need help to set max pages per JOB while printing to avoid accidental printing of huge amount of pages is it even possible
[13:53] <mah45> ubuntu do not copy file in /etc/skel/ into home directory ! why ?
[13:54] <randomnoob> blkdg: hda intel idt
[13:54] <juk> raheel: it didn't work did it?
[13:54] <randomnoob> cheap default
[13:54] <raheel> juk nop did try it but just got an error .
[13:54] <raheel> i have tried the following
[13:54] <speedrunnerG55> thankyou
[13:54] <Odaym> disabled it?
[13:55] <Odaym> this is one of the ways to "maintain" your ubuntu as you put it in your question primarily when you first entered, speedrunnerG55
[13:55] <raheel> i have tried but no result!
[13:56] <blkdg> randomnoob, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530600
[13:56] <blkdg> ubottu, nice.
[13:56] <juk> raheel: i see
[13:56] <raheel> have tried changing the Pagelimit option in printers.conf but get an error.
[13:56] <joth> I just tried to upgrade the kernel on Maverick, and now my laptop won't boot up; it says there's a problem with /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 - can anyone help please?
[13:56] <raheel> also tried using the lpadmin command which probably you gave me earlier
[13:57] <speedrunnerG55> also installing updayes?
[13:57] <randomnoob> crap :\
[13:57] <juk> raheel: you said it twice but never mentioned how it looked like
[13:57] <randomnoob> blkdg: thanks
[13:57] <blkdg> randomnoob, looks like there's a workaround involving getting the latest alsa driver
[13:57] <raheel> juk well how the error looked like?
[13:57] <raheel> ok
[13:57] <blkdg> randomnoob, it's about half way down the pafe
[13:58] <blkdg> f/g
[13:58] <juk> raheel: i wouldn't know
[13:58] <raheel> this is the error upon running the command /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printername -o job-page-limit=1234 and restarting cups Returning IPP client-error-not-possible for Create-Job (ipp://localhost:631/printers/ML-1610) from localhost
[13:58] <Odaym> llutz, you there?
[13:58] <raheel> STRANGE!!!
[13:59] <randomnoob> blkdg: probably wouldn't work, ubuntu comes with an even higher version of alsa and it still doesn't work
[13:59] <juk> raheel: is that error?
[13:59] <LogicallyDashing> What are Super Cow Powers?
[14:00] <juk> !ot | LogicallyDashing
[14:00] <gaurav_help> what is nautilus elemenatry
[14:00] <blkdg> randomnoob, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/568973
[14:00] <Odaym> they are for doing "apt-get moo"
[14:00] <Odaym> LogicallyDashing,
[14:00] <LogicallyDashing> thanks Odaym
[14:00] <Odaym> 1. Type apt-get help. If the egg is present one, there will be a line "This APT has Super Cow Powers."
[14:00] <Odaym> 2. Type apt-get moo and you will see a picture of a cow drawn in ascii and message "have you mooed today?"
[14:00] <raheel> well open office word says "error while printing" and sudo tail -f /var/log/cups/error.log gives that result
[14:00] <LogicallyDashing> ok it worked
[14:00] <LogicallyDashing> that was stupid
[14:00] <Odaym> yep
[14:00] <Odaym> hehe
[14:01] <falconflame> hi guys...
[14:01] <Odaym> i thought it was something very elite too
[14:01] <falconflame> anyone here using backtrack?
[14:01] <blkdg> raheel, sorry to drop in to this late, but have you tried to use localhost 631 (cups)?
[14:01] <elderman> joth, I'm afraid this is unfamiliar territory for me.  I took a look at google results, but the first couple of pages don't suggest anything to me.
[14:02] <oCean> falconflame: this is not the channel for bt support
[14:02] <blkdg> raheel, use a browser and use this address: http://localhost:631/
[14:02] <raheel> i am using cups
[14:02] <raheel> yes i have opened the browser
[14:03] <raheel> now what?
[14:03] <blkdg> raheel, use a browser and use this address: http://localhost:631/
[14:03] <blkdg> that should point you to the cups admin tool
[14:03] <lebear> I'm having a problem that started recently for no apparent reason. Most the time I try to fullscreen a video (in vlc, mplayer, etc) it just closes down. Sometimes it works, but usually not. I'm not having any problems with flash (youtube etc) fullscreens. How do I go about troubleshooting this?
[14:04] <scarface> Hi guys... So why does Ubuntu (10.10) need internet access during the install?
[14:04] <raheel> i am using that address
[14:04] <sacarlson> raheel: I think blkdg: means to use your browser to setup cups with http:/localhost:631
[14:04] <blkdg> lebear, are you using compwiz at the same time?
[14:04] <blkdg> sacarlson, thank you.
[14:04] <raheel> well i think cups is setup i can see my printer in the printers section
[14:05] <raheel> all jobs are logged properly with the page count. what else do i need to setup???
[14:05] <blkdg> please use this URL in your browser localhost:631 raheel
[14:05] <lebear> blkdg, I believe so. I have desktop effects set to normal, that's a comiz thing right?
[14:05] <blkdg> lebear, right.
[14:06] <blkdg> lebear, if there are no effects going on, that ususally cuts down on 'my youtube / my googleearth ' will not work questions.
[14:06] <blkdg> raheel, that url points to the cups server on your box. then config it from there.
[14:07] <Paulo39> hi
[14:07] <dnivra> hello. does every ubuntu machine have the file /etc/lsb-release by default? is it created when ubuntu is installed or does some application need to be installed?
[14:07] <elderman> scarface, I'm surprised it does.  I did a Xubuntu install yesterday without a connection.
[14:07] <lebear> blkdg, yeah. I disabled effects and now fullscreening seem to work perfectly. Thanks! But what might be the issue, it used to work fine even with effects
[14:07] <Odaym> why is there an 'selinux' folder in my filesystem?
[14:07] <Odaym> it's empty, but..why?
[14:07] <juk> !info lsb-release
[14:07] <Paulo39> i want to have a script that starts my apps sequentially. i have this: #/bin/bash
[14:07] <Paulo39> sleep 10 && /usr/bin/python /home/paulecas/Bin/FolderView/FolderViewScreenlet.py && sleep 10 && wakoopa && sleep 10 && /usr/bin/caffeine
[14:07] <yuskhanzab> how to change my account as root account
[14:08] <Odaym> the apt-cache search selinux produces results too, but why is there an empty directory 'selinux' in my filesystem by default?
[14:08] <blkdg> lebear, effects are awsome. youtube and googleearth are awsome. choose one. :)
[14:08] <AbhijiT> hi
[14:08] <juk> !pastebin | Paulo39
[14:08] <Paulo39> the problem is that it doen's go to the 2nd sleep command unless folderview is exited
[14:08] <yuskhanzab> hello anyone!
[14:08] <AbhijiT> which is good video editor we can add titles,credit,transitions, and nice effects? for linux that is
[14:08] <juk> hello everyone!
[14:08] <lebear> blkdg, haha. or I upgrade the computer and get both ;);
[14:08] <scarface> elderman, You can do the install without being connected, but if you ARE connected, it does... stuff.  You can see network activity.  I thought that it might be downloading the latest software updates, but then you still have updates to apply after booting the installed version.
[14:08] <blkdg> lebear, no.
[14:09] <yuskhanzab> anyone: how to change my account as root account
[14:09] <blkdg> lebear, not a hardware issue
[14:09] <marotteo901> hello
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> !sudo | yuskhanzab
[14:09] <lebear> blkdg, really. thought it was memory related :/
[14:09] <inckie> what is the release cycle of JeOS ?
[14:09] <juk> AbhijiT: transitions?
[14:09] <oCean> yuskhanzab: the root account is locked. Use sudo for administrative privileges
[14:09] <AbhijiT> juk, yes
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> !jeos
[14:09] <juk> AbhijiT: what is that
[14:10] <oCean> !sudo > yuskhanzab
[14:10] <Django84> hi!!
[14:10] <dnivra> juk: i do know there is a package like that. is it the package that creates the file?
[14:10] <AbhijiT> juk, have you sed windows movie maker? like when we change from one frame to another frame so we can set an effect 'how' this change should happen
[14:10] <yuskhanzab> i want to copy paste image in my background folder, but i cant
[14:10] <juk> dnivra: lsb-release?
[14:11] <dnivra> juk: yes. does installing lsb-release create the file /etc/lsb-release?
[14:11] <juk> AbhijiT: happly no
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> yuskhanzab:  for a single user. You are proberly better off just having a Background image directgroy in your home dir. Theres no real point in puttung wallpaper in the system dirs
[14:11] <yuskhanzab> see this video, i want to do this on my account.. im the admin
[14:11] <yuskhanzab> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLD-N3BZRtI&feature=related
[14:11] <blkdg> lebear, no i use a little app called dr.java for programming, and it craps out my X if effects are on. go to http://drjava.org/, and on the left, click on COMPIZ
[14:11] <AbhijiT> juk, good! :)
[14:11] <raheel> hasnt anyone setup a print server before???
[14:11] <Django84> I'm looking to buy a wireless router that has the ability to configure when connect to internet (by PPPoE) and when disconnect, automatically.
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> yuskhanzab:  'sudo cp filename.jpg /usr/share/backgrounds/' if you really want to.
[14:11] <sacarlson> Paulo39: I thought that sleep && would just run an application in the background and continue to run the next it the list without stoping
[14:11] <aeon-ltd> !ups | raheel
[14:11] <aeon-ltd> !cups | raheel
[14:12] <raheel> i know but i am now tired of searching and googling and chatting and searching...... please help just let me know that it is not possible so that i can take some rest
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> raheel:  i have and its rather trivial.. use cups web interface.. set it up to share.. and you proberly want to install samba also.
[14:12] <yuskhanzab> what that comand means?
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> raheel:  i found it trivial the last dozen times ive done it.
[14:12] <Paulo39> sacarlson, it doesn't do that in this case
[14:12] <yuskhanzab> i can copy paste the file in root folder?
[14:12] <Paulo39> i mean, i have that code
[14:12] <raheel> Dr willis REALLY............
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> yuskhanzab:  copys a file to a dir..
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> raheel:  yes. really.. i share my laser printers and so forth all the tiome on my homne lan with very few issues.
[14:12] <Paulo39> and it just runs the first command after the first sleep
[14:12] <raheel> Dr Willis i hope you understand my problem.
[14:13] <dnivra> juk: why i am asking this question is because i extracted the deb archive lsb-release and it doesn't create the file /etc/lsb-release. so wanted to know if the file does exist by default.
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> raheel:  so far ice seen you ask 'how to setup a print server'  thats it...
[14:13] <Paulo39> it doens't go for the 2ns sleep unless i exit the folderview app
[14:13] <raheel> Dr Willis i hope you understand my problem. i only need to set the maximum pages per job how to do that
[14:13] <oCean> yuskhanzab: you can use any command requiring root privileges.. use "sudo" !
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> raheel:  check the cups w3eb interface It proberly has a setting for that.
[14:13] <raheel> i could not find any option in the cups web interface
[14:13] <elderman> scarface, I dunno.  Odd.  Maybe the folks at #ubuntu-installed would know?
[14:14] <sacarlson> Paulo39: I'm not sure it makes any difference but I normaly break scripts into lines,  I wonder if a line is interprited one at a time?
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> raheel:  check cups.org and the cups docs. Ive never bothered with such a setting. I know theres a lot of 'business' type settings in  there somewhere.
[14:14] <raheel> nope. there i no setting for page limits etc.
[14:14] <juk> dnivra: well it reads that file, so suppose it comes there when you install pack
[14:14] <Paulo39> sacarlson, i'll try to do that
[14:14] <elderman> scarface, *ubuntu-installer
[14:14] <scarface> elderman, Ah, thanks for the tip
[14:14] <dnivra> juk: if you do not have the package installed, could you please check if the file is present?
[14:15] <raheel> yeah i am sure too but i have spend hours searching on cups.org just cannot find something that does the job.
[14:15] <sacarlson> Paulo39: and don't put the && on the lines with sleep in them
[14:15] <oCean> raheel: job-page-limit? http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/spec-ipp.html
[14:15] <elderman> scarface, I dont know if it'll help.  This place is a madhouse.  I'm hanging out on ubuntu-x hoping for a response to a question for a while now.  Crickets.
[14:15] <blkdg> raheel, 1. how did you setup your printer?
[14:16] <blkdg> 2. have you gone to localhost:631 like I've asked you too?
[14:16] <raheel> every buddy is pointing to the same page and that page is not helping
[14:16] <raheel> yes i blkdg i have opened my cups page
[14:16] <Django84> hi! I'm looking to buy a wireless router that has the ability to configure when connect to internet (by PPPoE) and when disconnect, automatically.
[14:17] <CrystalLinux> test
[14:17] <Dr_Willis> quick googling of the cups docs mentions this. (not a page limit but a print job size limit) (i think) -> The MaxRequestSize directive controls the maximum size of print files, IPP requests, and HTML form data in HTTP POST requests.

[14:18] <raheel> yes that is what i have concluded yet. linux does not have  an option to control the max job page limit
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> The PageLimit directive defines the value of the job-page-limit attribute which can be set by the lpadmin -o job-page-limit= command.

[14:19] <CrystalLinux> I was just testing that I could talk.
[14:19] <elderman> CrystalLinux, loud and clear.
[14:19] <dnivra> CrystalLinux: and that was to prove you can :D.
[14:19] <oCean> raheel: I remember job-page-limit works fine for me
[14:19] <blkdg> it's not a cb radio CrystalLinux
[14:19] <blkdg> :)
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> The job-page-limit attribute specifies the maximum number of pages that may be printed by a user, including banner files. The default value of 0 specifies that there is no limit
[14:20] <Secrets1235567> http://paste.ubuntu.com/569161/
[14:20] <Secrets1235567> see this
[14:20] <Secrets1235567> perl
[14:20] <oCean> raheel: there's also setting like log_level (not exactly sure) Set it to be more verbose and see what goes wrong
[14:20] <Secrets1235567> and cpan is not working
[14:20] <raheel> does it limit the maximum pages per JOB not per user
[14:21] <Secrets1235567> i need help
[14:21] <blkdg> raheel, http://printing.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/quotas.php
[14:21] <Kranix> I was changing some settings in ATI Catalyst Control Center on my laptop, and my finger slipped while I had my mouse on the contrast slider, dragging it to the far left side and turning off all contrast, now I can't see anything once I reach the login screen...
[14:21] <Secrets1235567> :(
[14:21] <oCean> Secrets1235567: please describe your issue in a single line. Also stop calling for "i need help"
[14:21] <blkdg> raheel, you need to set the QUOTA
[14:21] <Secrets1235567> http://paste.ubuntu.com/569161/
[14:21] <Django84> hi guys i need some help, i'm looking for a router that has the option to configure the time to connect to internet and time to disconnect...
[14:21] <Secrets1235567> read this
[14:21] <Secrets1235567> im trying to say
[14:21] <raheel> oCean i dont thing it limits that i think that we can only set quota for a time period not per job
[14:21] <Secrets1235567> i installed a perl packeage
[14:22] <dnivra> !ask | Secrets1235567
[14:22] <raheel> we cannot set the max pages limit for any job.
[14:22] <blkdg> does this perl package limit the ammount of characters that you can tyoe into your irc client?
[14:22] <oCean> !enter > Secrets1235567
[14:22] <oCean> raheel: job-page-limit works for me
[14:22] <raheel> so if a user send a file with 1000 pages it will get printed. that is what i want to stop
[14:22] <juk> raheel: just limit the paper, i cant limit jobs
[14:22] <budwaa> I want to create a user on my system just for an ssh tunnel to a wiki
[14:22] <juk> if*
[14:22] <joth> I just tried to upgrade the kernel on Maverick, and now my laptop won't boot up; it says there's a problem with /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 - can anyone help please?
[14:22] <budwaa> whats the best way to setup this user
[14:22] <BuMpIc> a
[14:23] <Secrets1235567> im saying cpan won't work
[14:23] <BuMpIc> if i installed an install.sh in terminal  how i can run it?
[14:23] <Secrets1235567> either it has the same errors
[14:23] <blkdg> raheel, http://printing.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/quotas.php
[14:23] <Secrets1235567> type
[14:23] <kamalthepirate> anybody know y windows 7 is getting slow.. it was all okay till 2 days before... and now it takes a lot of time to run any orogram.. even to open my computer
[14:23] <Secrets1235567> sh install.sh
[14:23] <raheel> oCean does it do what i am saying. i.e limiting the maximum printing  per job
[14:23] <Secrets1235567> okay
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> raheel:  You set the job-page-limit attribute, seems to be a per-printer setting
[14:23] <dnivra> !ot | kamalthepirate
[14:23] <raheel> blkdg let me try your link too
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> raheel:  i just cant seem to fiture out a way to set it from teh cups web interface. :()
[14:24] <raheel> yes Dr willis that is a printer setting it affects the whole printer. you are right
[14:24] <dnivra> !windows | kamalthepirate
[14:24] <BuMpIc> but if i type sh install.sh than  it  want to install it again:O
[14:24] <blkdg> raheel, like i said before, this is a CUPS QUOTA issue.
[14:24] <dnivra> BuMpIc: you ran install.sh already. am i correct? what did you install?
[14:24] <raheel> yes but we can set it using the lpadmin command or sudo nano /etc/cups/printers.conf and change that value
[14:24] <kamalthepirate> i m sorry and thanks for the info...
[14:25] <dnivra> kamalthepirate: np. next time do read the topic.
[14:25] <Secrets1235567> Does anyone know how to fix the problem
[14:25] <Django84> The idea would be set up that 9 to 12.30 and from 16 to 20 connected, and outside these times disconnected.
[14:25] <dnivra> !patience | Secrets1235567
[14:25] <BuMpIc> dnivra,  I downloaded an opensource program and i installed it with sh install.sh.And i want to run it
[14:26] <dnivra> BuMpIc: um the name of the program is?
[14:26] <dnivra> BuMpIc: maybe if you type the name of the program, it'd work. just a thought ...
[14:26] <Secrets1235567> http://paste.ubuntu.com/569168/
[14:26] <Secrets1235567> here look at this
[14:26] <BuMpIc> dnivra,  i can try it
[14:26] <oCean> Secrets1235567: please stop
[14:26] <Secrets1235567> can you see the problem :(
[14:27] <BuMpIc> dnivra, no it dont works
[14:27] <dnivra> Secrets1235567: personally i feel most people here would have "/ignore"d you: mentally or physically.
[14:27] <Dr_Willis> Secrets1235567:  at least summarize the problem. I havent seen you actually state a problem.
[14:27] <dnivra> BuMpIc: what is the name of the app you installed? maybe there is some readme on how to run it?
[14:27] <blkdg> raheel, here's someone working with a quota issue like you have http://www.edugeek.net/forums/nix/3991-pykota-cups-based-printer-quota-costing-system.html
[14:28] <blkdg> raheel, or try http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.4/accounting.html
[14:28] <BuMpIc> dnivra, blaster v3.1 and there was only a how to use it
[14:28] <blkdg> raheel, or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=545747
[14:28] <dnivra> BuMpIc: try typing in blaster and see if it works.
[14:28] <blkdg> dude read those links.
[14:29] <elderman> BuMpIc, have you tried navigating to the folder in the terminal and entering: './programname'?
[14:29] <fpsdf> Hi! Could anyone help me on making a USB installer on a Mac OS for use in a PC?
[14:29] <BuMpIc> elderman, no i haven't :O
[14:29] <dnivra> elderman: if he's ran install.sh, it's like it's in present folder or in $PATH right?
[14:30] <BuMpIc> dnivra,  typing blaster didn't work
[14:30] <blkdg> open a term BuMpIc , type locate blaster
[14:30] <elderman> dnivra, could be
[14:31] <blkdg> you might have to run updatedb first. be patient, then try locate blaster
[14:31] <BuMpIc> omg there is only soundblaster :D
[14:32] <blkdg> BuMpIc, did this source have a INSTALL.txt file? just curious ...
[14:32] <milamber> !usb | fpsdf not currently possible
[14:32] <blkdg> hello, i am using ubuntu 10.4. 32 bit, and it is completely patched.  It has a SIS integrated video card.  I have turned the screen saver off. When I Suspend the machine, the monitor turns Off.  How can I get it to function after the Suspend ends?
[14:32] <BuMpIc> blkdg, yes and there was only this: Execute the file install.sh      -----> ./install.sh
[14:32] <BuMpIc> and then choose the language
[14:32] <BuMpIc> make clean -------> Delete binary, some misc file and the manual files
[14:32] <raheel> blkg thanks i am checking it right now
[14:33] <raheel> blkdg will let you kknow

[14:33] <billmania> Anyone able to transfer photos from a Samsung SCH-U640 digital camera to an ubuntu 10.10 notebook?
[14:33] <blkdg> no. billmania does it have a card in it?
[14:34] <billmania> blkdg: An SD memory card?
[14:34] <blkdg> billmania, if it does, mount the card like a drive on your laptopm then cut and paste
[14:34] <SarahPengi> Is anybody free to answer a question i might have?
[14:34] <blkdg> billmania, yep
[14:34] <billmania> Yes, but my computer doesn't have an SD card reader.
[14:34] <blkdg> SarahPengi, don't ask to ask
[14:34] <billmania> blkdg: The camera has a USB interface.
[14:34] <AbhijiT> SarahPengi, ask
[14:35] <SarahPengi> Ive just started using ubuntu, and im trying to get the drivers installed but im getting this error
[14:35] <SarahPengi> systemerror: Failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
[14:35] <blkdg> billmania, cool. does ubuntu see the device mounted when you plug it in?
[14:35] <Secrets1235567> CAN SOMEONE HELP ME :(
[14:35] <Secrets1235567> i stated my problem
[14:35] <oCean> !etiquette > Secrets1235567
[14:35] <Secrets1235567> i installed a package
[14:35] <billmania> blkdg: No. That's the problem. ubuntu doesn't automatically mount the file system from the Samsung.
[14:35] <Secrets1235567> that made those errors up
[14:36] <mkanyicy> !enter | SecretAgent
[14:36] <mkanyicy> !enter | Secrets1235567
[14:36] <billmania> blkdg: I see lots of entries in /var/log/messages and it seems to be trying to mount it as /dev/sdb1, but it just keeps looping.
[14:36] <Secrets1235567> i mean made them start happening i don't know which  one it was
[14:36] <mkanyicy> SecretAgent, sorry
[14:36] <BuMpIc> and if i want to install with ./configure a program?
[14:36] <blkdg> billmania, i discovered that a $12 dollar 64 in 1 card reader from tigerdirect is way faster than trying to move the mountain.
[14:37] <mkanyicy> Secrets1235567, what is your problem, again?
[14:37] <blkdg> :)
[14:37] <SarahPengi> Its been kinda ?? as to why i cant get the drivers to install, i used the system -- admin----> additional drivers thing
[14:37] <Poss_> just letting you guys know, I think I've solved the root problem of all these problems i've been having all day
[14:37] <billmania> blkdg: Yeah, that may be what we have to do.
[14:37] <blkdg> billmania, it's way faster
[14:37] <Zyxzezix> Can anyone tell me why wingpanel isn't showing my systray icons, like dropbox, skype, etc?
[14:38] <blkdg> billmania, plus, read this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/363329
[14:38] <aeon-ltd> Zyxzezix: does it support them?
[14:38] <xangua> Zyxzezix: wingpanel uses only indicators
[14:38] <blkdg> billmania, looks like it's an access issue
[14:38] <elfranne> i just installed ubuntu 10.10 and changed my ip config to static but i can t restart the network by doing service network restart , i got : network: unrecognized service
[14:38] <Zyxzezix> xangua, I've seen screenshots of wingpanel users, though, and they had dropbox icons
[14:38] <billmania> blkdg: Yup, that's my problem.
[14:39] <xangua> Zyxzezix: night builds of dropbox uses indicators
[14:39] <SarahPengi> i hope im not making some sort of newbie mistake in this, hitting the brick wall was a bit of shock heh
[14:39] <gartral|cr48> elfranne: did you try a normal reboot?
[14:40] <andrea_> hey people, i've got a problem
[14:40] <mkanyicy> elfranne, try 'networking' not 'network'
[14:40] <mkanyicy> !ask | andrea_
[14:40] <elderman> SarahPengi, I'm looking it up
[14:40] <blkdg> billmania, get a cardreader. get a super cheep 64 in 1 one like http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5254915&CatId=942
[14:40] <elderman> SarahPengi, just searching Google
[14:40] <blkdg> billmania, thats in CDN though.
[14:40] <SarahPengi> thanks alot elderman
[14:40] <andrea_> i have a samsung x420 with ubuntu 10.10 and i can't adjuste the screen brightness
[14:40] <billmania> blkdg: Looking now.
[14:41] <andrea_> any suggest?
[14:41] <elfranne> when typing networking i got : restart unknown instance
[14:41] <elderman> SarahPengi, could you post all the details again in a private message
[14:41] <SarahPengi> Sure!
[14:41] <blkdg> andrea_, is that a laptop? is there a Fn / Function key?
[14:42] <mkanyicy> elfranne, try 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop' followed by a 'start'
[14:42] <andrea_> blkdg: yes, it's a laptop, but Fn key simply doesn't work
[14:42] <blkdg> are you running from the battery, or from the wall when you try the Fn key?
[14:42] <blkdg> have you altered the powersaver settings?
[14:43] <andrea_> doesn't work both on battery nor on AC
[14:43] <blkdg> andrea_, my acer only ever gets to 80 brightness when it's on the battery, when i plug into the wall, i can get to super bright 100%
[14:43] <blkdg> ah
[14:44] <blkdg> andrea_, have you adjusted the power saver settings?
[14:44] <billmania> blkdg: Off to TigerDirect Chicago. Thanks.
[14:44] <andrea_> on battery the screen light  is too low, on AC is ok
[14:44] <blkdg> billmania, call first dude
[14:44] <andrea_> but can't adjuste it
[14:45] <blkdg> andrea_, " my acer only ever gets to 80 brightness when it's on the battery, when i plug into the wall, i can get to super bright 100%
 ah"
[14:45] <winged_warrior> hello
[14:45] <andrea_> ok
[14:46] <blkdg> andrea_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1370135
[14:46] <andrea_> blkdg: thanks, take a look
[14:47] <andrea_> no, already done just 5 minutse ago
[14:47] <blkdg> huh?
[14:47] <andrea_> doesn't work
[14:47] <blkdg> oh
[14:47] <blkdg> tried the kernel patch?
[14:48] <blkdg> and there exists a patch in Kernel 2.6.33: Greg Kroah-Hartman created a module that implements this functionality (if you want to have a look at it, get 2.6.33-rc3 sources and look in drivers/staging/samsung-laptop),
[14:48] <andrea_> probably yes
[14:48] <blkdg> pardon?
[14:48] <jo-erlend> can someone _please_ help me partition my disk so that the first partition starts at sector 64? I've spent more than twenty hours trying to install Ubuntu without success.
[14:48] <andrea_> i've done something around it, but i don't exactly what i've done :)
[14:48] <blkdg> which kernel are you using andrea_
[14:49] <andrea_> uh
[14:49] <andrea_> don't know :S
[14:49] <Seth> is this is a good place to ask about ubuntu on a mac mini?
[14:49] <blkdg> andrea_, uname -v
[14:49] <andrea_> blkdg: how can I know?
[14:49] <andrea_> ok
[14:50] <andrea_> blkdg: #45~ppa1~loms~maverick-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 27 16:40:56 UTC 2011
[14:50] <blkdg> my bad
[14:51] <andrea_> lol :)
[14:51] <blkdg> uname -r
[14:51] <blkdg> sorry bout that
[14:51] <andrea_> don't worry :)
[14:51] <andrea_> 2.6.35-25-generic-pae
[14:51] <Seth> anyone have ubuntu on a mac mini 4,1? I have it installed and it is unusably slow even on the command line
[14:51] <andrea_> it seems updated, isn't it?
[14:51] <Odaym> didn't you look in System > Power management, andrea_ ?
[14:52] <blkdg> yep. did you read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1370135
[14:53] <blkdg> Odaym, I asked him several times about that, no response
[14:53] <Odaym> let's ask again
[14:53] <andrea_> already read it
[14:53] <Odaym> andrea_, you can go to System > Preferences > Power Management
[14:53] <Dr_Willis> Seth:  you may want to check the forums. thers proberly some mac-mini threads/faq/wiki pages
[14:53] <mycosys>  Nvidia wouldnt happen to have introduced persistant overclocking in their linux drivers would they, or a method to overclock via cli?
[14:54] <Odaym> and there you can set the defaults for when you are plugged in/out
[14:54] <Dr_Willis> mycosys:  i think theres some tools to do it. but ive never bothered.
[14:55] <andrea_> Odaym: no, just tried out, no changes on screen brightness
[14:55] <masai47> I just installed edubuntu and while I could connect to the internet in a live environment from a USB within the new install I can not, the nm-applet is not showing up, and I am not really sure what is wrong.
[14:55] <andrea_> neither on power management
[14:56] <Seth> Dr_Willis: i didnt find anything, but i will check again..
[14:56] <Odaym> the very fact that your screen brightness changes (regardless of when and where), means that this is functional
[14:56] <kyle___> So, Thunderbird never stays is date desc order... Any idea's ?
[14:56] <Odaym> so careful when setting options in Power Management, some options cancel each other out
[14:57] <ruffy> hi can any1 help establish share between my vista and my newly installed xubuntu 10.10
[14:57] <andrea_> Odaym: ok
[14:57] <andrea_> so?
[14:57] <kamalmv> ruffy:using samba
[14:57] <Odaym> are you on battery power now?
[14:57] <andrea_> on AC right now
[14:57] <ruffy> dl samba?
[14:57] <ruffy> okay thanks kamaLmv
[14:57] <Odaym> it dims too much when on Battery? this is your problem?
[14:58] <andrea_> yes, it's a part of the problem
[14:58] <andrea_> and I can't adjuste it, 2nd problem
[14:58] <Odaym> then go to System > Preferences > Power Management again, and uncheck "Reduce backlight brightness" and "Dim display when idle"
[14:58] <ruffy> is samba an application that will get me to talk to windows?
[14:58] <Odaym> see if that changes anything
[14:58] <andrea_> let me see
[14:59] <Odaym> then press on Make Default and supply a password
[14:59] <kv102t> So, Thunderbird never stays is date desc order... Any idea's ?
[14:59] <andrea_> ok
[14:59] <SarahPengi> elderman, Thank you very much, everything works now
[14:59] <andrea_> done
[14:59] <Odaym> now unplug
[14:59] <Odaym> and see
[14:59] <Odaym> does it dim down like before?
[15:00] <andrea_> no, but there's another thing
[15:00] <MaverickMC> hi guys
[15:00] <Odaym> that's one, then
