[00:00] <magicianlord> how do you create an installable custom ubuntu iso?
[00:00] <d9500> jimbo_, fglrx? Is that why you need the xorg.conf? I thought amd had a utility to create the xorg.conf for you? drop to VT, stop X server, install driver, and run aticonfig --initial or something like that/
[00:00] <magicianlord> say, i want to create an installer with openbox
[00:00] <d9500> jimbo_, keep in mind, i don't know much abpout fglrx...i'm just trying to remember stuff from old phoronix.com forum posts
[00:01] <d9500> and not even forum posts that i made, at that
[00:01] <jimbo_> d9500: going for 2-head fglrx and a third on displaylink;  the first two are easy enough with automatic config, for the third I think I need to author an xorg.conf -- that's why I want the working 2-head xorg.conf as a starting point
[00:02] <jimbo_> d9500: I'll try the aticonfig
[00:03] <Doonz> hey can someone point me to a goo x over ssh document for me to follow
[00:03] <jimbo_> d9500: gotta get my ride in before the sun goes down.  back later on, thanks so far,  I had forgotten about aticonfig --initial which is what I used before all this auto-Xorg stuff become popular.
[00:03] <Doonz> my google fu is failing and all im getting is useless blogs
[00:04] <edbian> Doonz, Just ssh -X user@host
[00:04] <jimbo_> Doonz: GatewayPorts On and AllowXF11Forwarding Yes, ssh -X, not much more to it.
[00:04] <jimbo_> bbl
[00:04] <edbian> Doonz, That simple :)  The servers are usually configured by default to allow X-Forwarding.
[00:04] <Doonz> oh
[00:04] <d9500> jimbo_, ok... you can try it, but i freely admit that's just from memory. you might want to look up some more documentation first.
[00:04] <Doonz> so i just need to install gnome and im good to go?
[00:05] <edbian> Doonz, Strictly speaking you just need Xorg
[00:05] <Doonz> ok
[00:05] <d9500> jimbo_, anyway, glad to hopefully have been of some help. if i run into ya again, let me know how it goes.

[00:16] <magicianlord> all right. do you need to remaster using ubuntu?
[00:16] <aeon-ltd> magicianlord: you can use the ubuntu iso if you'd like to
[00:18] <magicianlord> aeon-ltd: do you need to be running ubuntu to use this?
[00:20] <c3l> java applets are no longer started, what is the process responsible for running java applets?
[00:23] <roboto3785> Hi all. I'm having some trouble with the WindowPickerApplet. After I open a window or two, it disappears, as well as the controls on the windows(minimize/close). I've tried using Emerald, redownloading Compiz, and putting gnome-wm in my startup and still no go. Any suggestions? I've tried 'metacity --replace' and 'compiz --replace' already. They both temp. fix the problem but it still persists.
[00:24] <aeon-ltd> magicianlord: i don't think so its all web based
[00:24] <magicianlord> ok aeon-ltd. thanks

[00:26] <magicianlord> sudo apt-get install --fix-missing
[00:26] <chrissharp123> pear: so what happens when you do --fix-missing?
[00:27] <pear> noq i try
[00:27] <samuel> apt-get update only update the sources or even install apps

[00:32] <trollboy> is there a ui for bind?
[00:33] <sjefen6> How can I identify if I am running a 32 bit version or a 64 bit version?
[00:33] <cast> people running bind as a general don't need nor want uis.
[00:33] <cast> s/general/general rule/
[00:33] <LLStarks> is there a reason that if i uninstall 10 kernel, update-grub must run 10 times?
[00:33] <d9500> sjefen6, open terminal and run uname -a
[00:33] <trollboy> I know cast
[00:33] <trollboy> but I'm being lazy
[00:33] <trollboy> to VIM I go
[00:33] <trollboy> I just didn't wanna hand write zone files
[00:33] <cast> if you're lazy, then don't run bind ;)
[00:33] <trollboy> for .local domains
[00:33] <trollboy> well cast how do I set up wildcard host entries then, lol
[00:34] <d9500> sjefen6, if it contains x86_64 in the output, then you're running 64-bit
[00:34] <cast> don't ask me, i'm too lazy to run bind ;P
[00:34] <sjefen6> d9500: ok, thanks :D
[00:34] <trollboy> Budda tssh
[00:35] <d9500> sjefen6, no prob.
[00:35] <cast> maybe i should set it up though
[00:35] <realubot> I get "connection timed out" trying to connect by ssh usign this command: ssh -i .ssh/id_rsa_key1 -p 5555 username@ip. I have changed the PubkeyAuthentiation to yes in the sshd_config and I have checked by netstat and by using ps that the sshd is running. I also have restarted sshd several times without any problem. The .ssh/authorized_keys file has permissions 600. Why can't I connect to openssh-server?
[00:35] <cast> realubot: is it actually listening on port 5555? is there a firewall in the way?
[00:35] <realubot> The sshd_config file also says port 5555 to be used and password authetication is set to no.
[00:36] <realubot> cast: Well, the only firewall in the way should be the default iptables in Ubuntu then.
[00:36] <silvertip257> I added the FreeNX PPA, updated my pkg list, and installed freenx (all through commands).  However the nxsetup binary is not present as indicated in this documentation >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[00:36] <realubot> Maybe there is a firewall that is default in the ADSL modem from the ISP. I don't know about that.
[00:37] <cast> nmap -p 5555 ip
[00:37] <realubot> silvertip257: FreeNX is old I think. You may be using another package in 10.04 at least.
[00:38] <linux_is_my_hero> where do i go for gaming help?
[00:38] <silvertip257> realubot: what other package are you suggesting?  I'm getting the packages from the Lucid repo.
[00:38] <realubot> silvertip257: neatx is it's name: http://code.google.com/p/neatx/
[00:38] <realubot> silvertip257: "As of Ubuntu 10.04, Lucid Lynx, users have two choices for their NX server, 1) FreeNX from the FreeNX team or 2) neatx from Google. "
[00:39] <realubot> silvertip257: Maybe it will work using FreeNX too.
[00:39] <silvertip257> realubot: it's half-baked at best ... thanks for the suggestion.  Yes, I read that in the Docu.
[00:39] <wolfric> if i switch terminals or come out of suspended mode, for a split second i can see the desktop before the lock window shows up
[00:40] <wolfric> is there anything i can do about this
[00:40] <Q_Continuum> 10.04-64, ATI HD3200/HD5770 - blank screen on bootup, both from upgrade from 9.10 and attempting fresh install of 10.04 - any workarounds?
[00:41] <JRowe> cool
[00:41] <realubot> cast: I don't have the computer by my side right now but I did execute netstat -nap and I saw that sshd was listening. And I can login into another computer from the same client so the problem has to do with the openssh-server (or the specific key at my client computer).
[00:41] <realubot> silvertip257: I got neatx working at one computer but not at anothe rusing the same config and commands.
[00:42] <freedfromtheevil> hello
[00:43] <freedfromtheevil> can someone smart help me?
[00:43] <silvertip257> realubot: I really would rather use FreeNX than NeatX until NeatX can become more mature
[00:43] <silvertip257> freedfromtheevil: ask your question and if someone can help they will
[00:44] <chrissharp123> pear: did you get it sorted out or are you still getting the lockfile error?
[00:44] <realubot> cast: I did set port to 5555, disabled rootlogin, password login (clear text login), enabled PubkeyAuth... Do I have to change more of the default settings in the sshd_config file?
[00:44] <freedfromtheevil> okay I installed ubuntu, everything looks nice and stuff.... so i installed the restricted drivers for nvidia... now the splash screen for the startup and shut down are huge////
[00:44] <realubot> silvertip257: Ok, nice to know.
[00:44] <freedfromtheevil> but everything else is fine once it boots into ubuntu
[00:44] <realubot> cast: I disabled clear text password login.
[00:45] <cast> realubot: root login, password login, they don't matter, the client isn't talking to the sshd
[00:45] <cast> realubot: if it were you'd get a different error
[00:45] <JRowe> I want to install plone via ssh, and I'm horribly rusty - do i want to wget from tmp and then run the installer script?
[00:45] <silvertip257> freedfromtheevil: if you don't need the restricted drivers, then turn them off and see if it goes away
[00:45] <realubot> cast: I did generate the keys at my client, then moved the .pub key to the host and changed it's name to authorized_keys. Maybe that was the wrong methos of creating the authorzed_keys file?
[00:46] <realubot> cast: Yeah, they don't even get in contact.
[00:46] <realubot> cast: Ofcourse not.
[00:46] <manases> hi
[00:46] <manases> i just install wbar
[00:47] <manases> on ubuntu 10..04
[00:47] <manases> how do i run it
[00:47] <JRowe> i guess thats a general practice question, too - do i wget any and all new software from the tmp directory? Or is there a better place to put it
[00:47] <realubot> cast: I did install openssh-server as anopther user using sudo aptitude install openssh-server. Maybe that did give me some trouble when creating the authorized_keys file at another user .ssh direcotry? :S
[00:48] <cast> thats not the current problem
[00:48] <manases> how do i run wbar?
[00:48] <FabParma> a dummy question. i need to format a new hd to store files only, to search with locate change the speed if i use ext2 or ext3 or ext4?
[00:48] <alexander_> I downloaded a "tarball" release of a chess program for linux and extracted it, but it's just a bunch of files. How do I "install" it?
[00:49] <realubot> Ok, well, maybe there is some kind of firewall anyway.
[00:49] <freedfromtheevil> so no one can help me with my splash screen problems?
[00:49] <realubot> Is there any way to check if there is a firewall blocking the traffic at one specific port?
[00:49] <realubot> I can ping the computer's ip address at least.
[00:50] <aeon-ltd> manases: alt-f2 'wbar' maybe or whatever wbar is called in /usr/bin
[00:50] <freedfromtheevil> try the IP address : port number
[00:50] <manases> does any body have wbar install in ubuntu 10.04?
[00:50] <freedfromtheevil> so <IP_ADDRESS>:81
[00:50] <manases> ok
[00:50] <freedfromtheevil> or whatever the numbers are
[00:50] <aeon-ltd> freedfromtheevil: you may need to set resolutions at boot with grub to fix your problem
[00:51] <realubot> Feier: Aha, ok. Thanks. Didn't know it was that easy to ping a port at a specific ip adress.
[00:51] <realubot> Feier: Sorry.
[00:51] <realubot> freedfromtheevil: Ok.
[00:51] <freedfromtheevil> realubot: not sure that will work was just an idea
[00:52] <manases> when i hit alt+f2 it gives me an run aplication option
[00:52] <manases> whats now?
[00:52] <aeon-ltd> manases: type wbar
[00:53] <realubot> ping -p <port nnumber> -c 5 <host>
[00:53] <realubot> Maybe like that?
[00:53] <guampa> realubot: ping doesn't work with ports whatsoever
[00:53] <rohdef> I'm trying to compile nvidia's latest drivers on Lynx, but can't. To summarize: I have no gui for configuration,  tried all the tricks I could find with disabling nouveau, removing all nvidia packages etc etc. The error I get when running the thing from nvidia and if I try to install the drivers from apt is: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/471650/ I have checked logs (incl. the dkms log), they just quote this message (wow, how useful ><). Any ideas on
[00:53] <rohdef>  how to proceed? Maybe at least to force an useful log message
[00:53] <GreenBerry> Okay, the computer rebooted to open Ubuntu for the first time, but when I re-opened it, it asks if I want to rebbot. AGAIN.
[00:53] <realubot> guampa: Ok.
[00:54] <guampa> use nmap for that realubot
[00:54] <guampa> nmap -pport <machine>
[00:54] <manases> aeon-ltd
[00:54] <manases> i did that but nothing
[00:54] <manases> now what?
[00:55] <manases> YO!
[00:55] <FlyingBishop> I've got an Inspiron Dell Mini 10
[00:56] <silvertip257> realubot / freedfromtheevil - you can't ping an ip and port ... try netcat or nmap
[00:56] <realubot> guampa: Ok, thanks.
[00:56] <manases> can someone help me with wbar
[00:56] <realubot> silvertip257: Yeah.
[00:56] <Viking667> hi all. Trying to get Gnome _not_ to block on pulse's absence but to use alsa instead. I'm striking trouble when I try to run the gnome-volume-mixer, because it's waiting for pulse, and nothing else.
[00:56] <manases> it wont run
[00:56] <realubot> silvertip257: guampa told me so. Thanks anyway.
[00:56] <Viking667> So, I don't have pulseaudio running, what do I need to do to persuade gnome to use alsa instead?
[00:56] <aeon-ltd> manases: yeah i heard you, i don't use wbar so i wouldn't know, but it might require a config file setup
[00:57] <manases> oh great
[00:57] <manases> thanks DUDE
[00:58] <aeon-ltd> manases: wait no it doesn't run this instead (in alt-f2) wbar -pos center -above-desk
[00:58] <manases> ok hold
[00:59] <aeon-ltd> manases: well?
[01:00] <manases> no nothing :(
[01:00] <aeon-ltd> manases: run the command in terminal
[01:00] <manases> i typed the hole thing and nothing
[01:01] <aeon-ltd> manases: in a terminal?
[01:01] <hiredgun555> anyone know how to change system sounds?
[01:01] <manases> unrecognice option -post
[01:02] <aeon-ltd> manases: it -pos
[01:02] <aeon-ltd> *its
[01:02] <aeon-ltd> manases: easier just read the bit about wbar http://deviceguru.com/adding-wbar-prism-and-gadgets-to-ubuntu/
[01:03] <GreenBerry> I am having a Problem.
[01:04] <aeon-ltd> !ask | GreenBerry
[01:04] <manases> ok i will
[01:04] <manases> did what u asked me but still did not work
[01:04] <realubot> How do I know if there is a hardware firewall (router) blocking ports?
[01:04] <GreenBerry> I did.
[01:04] <GreenBerry> No one responded
[01:05] <manases> THANKS aeon-ltd
[01:05] <magicianlord> what's a good auto-maximize application besides maximus?
[01:06] <guampa> realubot: if nmap reports the port is filtered then most probably there's one
[01:06] <realubot> guampa: Ok.
[01:06] <realubot> guampa: If nmap doesn't report filtered. May it be a firewall blocking traffic anyway?
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: you can use devilspie and tell it to maximise the apps you select
[01:07] <FabParma> Why in my apt sources, GParted is at Version: 0.5.1-1ubuntu2 and on the http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ the last stable release is "0.6.1-2"? so have I to download and use the livecd to be updated?

[01:08] <fml-ish> hello everyone, im having troubles dual booting windows vista and ubuntu lucid lynx (all the 3 editions give me that problem) could anyone help me out?
[01:08] <alexander_> i'm trying to install a chess engine... the tar file is just a bunch of files that aren't obviously executable (I guess?) the readme says 'compiling in linux is easy just type "make."' but it doesn't /tell me where to type "make"/
[01:09] <lay> oieee
[01:09] <lay> boa noit
[01:10] <FabParma> ActionParsnip: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/news.php

[01:10] <GreenBerry> I opened Ubuntu to install it, and I hat to reboot. The computer rebooted to open Ubuntu for the first time, but when I re-opened it, it asks if I want to reboot. AGAIN.
[01:10] <hiredgun555> goto accessories and click on terminal and then cd over to directory and type make.
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> FabParma: then log a bug stating that these issues are current and can be resolved by the newer version
[01:10] <aeon-ltd> GreenBerry: what happens after that reboot?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> FabParma: ubuntu is not a rolling release so packages will be out of date some
[01:11] <GreenBerry> I'm not rebooting again!
[01:11] <alexander_> hiredgun555 roger that , cheers!
[01:11] <GreenBerry> I want to know the dang problem Dx
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> hiredgun555: you can run a terminal with CTRL+ALT+T
[01:11] <hiredgun555> that 2
[01:11] <magicianlord> GreenBerry: it must be a startup app. try disabling it in notifications
[01:12] <GreenBerry> Hmm, okay, how do I do that?
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> FabParma: http://theubuntunews.blogspot.com/2010/07/gparted-061-on-ubuntu-lucid.html    may help
[01:12] <hiredgun555> how to change system sounds?
[01:12] <FabParma> ActionParsnip: I agree, but to update Gparted for me without the Ubuntu updaet support it is quite difficult
[01:14] <FabParma> is this an official site?
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> FabParma: no, its some dudes site but the deb will allow you to upgrade the version you have to a newer version, there is also the ppa
[01:14] <wolfric> would there be a channel more suited to help with regular expressions ?
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> FabParma: its the official blogspot site.....
[01:15] <wolfric> more specificly with grep
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> wolfric: try #bash
[01:15] <JRowe> try #regex
[01:15] <koshari> FabParma you could use the gparted live disk

[01:16] <FabParma> ActionParsnip: I should update from here to avoid risks http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted/gparted-0.6.1/ I always use official sites, but how to do?

[01:20] <fml-ish> I'm running Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, i can't dual boot it with Windows (any version/edition/whatever) since i can't mount the ntfs partition and if i use ntfs-config or mount my windows partition wont boot after, going to windows loading screen and then restarting
[01:21] <antonio_> Is there a command/utility/program to tell what files have not been copied over to a destination folder?
[01:21] <JRowe> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:21] <GreenBerry> UIHNDOHUFIDN
[01:21] <GreenBerry> FUCK UBUNTU
[01:21] <FloodBot1> GreenBerry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:21] <magicianlord> niglop: you're better off installing a base system with openbox and select xfce and lxde components
[01:21] <JRowe> lol
[01:21] <JRowe> rage
[01:21] <guampa> someone has popped out
[01:22] <niglop> why is that magicianlord ?
[01:23] <magicianlord> niglop: it's faster and more customizable
[01:23] <magicianlord> but unless you are willing to configure, stick with xfce4
[01:24] <shawnboy> anyone
[01:24] <shawnboy> know how to burn cd using cue sheets?
[01:25] <FabParma> so, i get what happens, like if was a game ...  if Ubuntu should serious, should advise that a new stable version it is available but at the moment Ubuntu has not resources enough to rollup, test it an pu into repos
[01:25] <FabParma> this will permit user to choise
[01:26] <FabParma> do you agree?
[01:28] <shawnboy> nobody knows how to burn traditional audio CD using cue sheets and mp3s?
[01:28] <jrt05> can you setup ubuntu to boot into multiuser mode/console logon only?
[01:28] <bazhang> jrt05, permanently? ie no X?
[01:29] <jrt05> bazhang, yes
[01:29] <Bridge|A> does usb-creator work from ubuntu live or only a installed version of ubuntu?
[01:29] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode jrt
[01:30] <rww> Bridge|A: works from either
[01:30] <jrt05> bazhang, thanks, i'll check that out
[01:30] <Bridge|A> kk good
[01:30] <bazhang> jrt05, for more info /msg ubottu nox
[01:31] <Bridge|A> cuz unetbootin hangs at 5% on filesystem.squashfs
[01:31] <Bridge|A> whicch is the largest file i think, but i'd assume the progress bar would advance some
[01:31] <bazhang> Bridge|A, it does hang there for a while then continues.
[01:31] <hiredgun555> usb creator works both ways
[01:31] <Bridge|A> ahh okay
[01:31] <hiredgun555> used it myself
[01:32] <Bridge|A> i thouigh it crashed first time and re did it, then it did it gaain
[01:32] <Bridge|A> i'll just wake
[01:32] <bazhang> normally from 5% to 60 some percent
[01:32] <magicianlord> hi, bazhang. didnt realize you were in here also
[01:32] <Bridge|A> but usually my cpu can copy hdd to usb on this usb drive much faster for a bigger file i think
[01:32] <Bridge|A> kk
[01:32] <Bridge|A> thanks baz
[01:32] <rww> magicianlord: bazhang is everywhere.
[01:32] <Sia-> in debian with installing aspell-* then you have -* in your firefox dictionery without install dictionary from mozilla.org is that possible in also in ubuntu Lucid?
[01:33] <magicianlord> really...
[01:34] <Davids> Hi so what to talk about here.
[01:34] <fml-ish> hello everyone i'm dual booting ubuntu 10.04 and windows vista, from ubuntu i can't mount/see my ntfs partition and if i try to force it (mount or ntfs-config) vista won't start.
[01:34] <fml-ish> could anyone help me out?
[01:34] <bazhang> Davids, ubuntu support
[01:34] <bazhang> Davids, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:34] <Davids> What is that?
[01:34] <Sia-> fml-ish, what is about sudo fdisk -l ?
[01:35] <fml-ish> sia-: want me to paste it?
[01:35] <Sia-> yes
[01:35] <bazhang> Davids, check the channel topic. It's a computer OS
[01:35] <fml-ish> sia- : just a second
[01:35] <fml-ish> sia- : meanwhile thanks for the attention
[01:35] <fml-ish> sia- : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/C4eRs7Tb
[01:35] <Bridge|A> another questioni've wondered is it possible without using a virtual machine to boot a windows os and a linux os at the same time and switch back and forth, without having to reboot??
[01:36] <bazhang> Bridge|A, no
[01:36] <Bridge|A> kk
[01:36] <ibrokegrub> be back going to try a manual boot from grub console :(
[01:36] <bazhang> !manual | Bridge|A this may be helpful
[01:36] <fml-ish> sia-: ops forgot about my fat32, i tried it to share files between the systems
[01:36] <koshari> Bridge|A you can use a hypervisor, which effectively runs both as a VM,
[01:36] <Bridge|A> yea
[01:37] <Sia-> fml-ish, or go System >> Admin... >> Disk Utility
[01:38] <fml-ish> sia-: is that an alternative to the fdisk -l? because i pasted a pastebin link for it
[01:38] <koshari> Bridge|A: Hypervisor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervisor>
[01:39] <Sia-> fml-ish, where is your pastebin link?
[01:39] <fml-ish> sia-: pasted it earlier but here it is again, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/C4eRs7Tb
[01:39] <ivo_> Hi ubuntu guys I have a small problem, when I run a couple of VMs and my RAM gets used up my machine begins swapping (no not this is the problem ) it gets almoust unusable, on OpenSolaris I had a there was a slowdown but it was not such a big deal
[01:40] <ivo_> I guess linux is doing stuff differently
[01:40] <Sia-> fml-ish, "/dev/sda4           29820       30402     4669440    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)"
[01:40] <Sia-> is your windoof right?
[01:40] <ivo_> I already have 8GB of Memory (The MAX my board supports )
[01:40] <fml-ish> sia- : no, that was a desperate attempt to share files between the systems, my windows partition is the ntfs
[01:40] <ivo_> if I buy really fast SSD and use it as swap drive
[01:41] <fml-ish> sia- : #
[01:41] <fml-ish> /dev/sda1               1       14024   112640000    7  HPFS/NTFS
[01:41] <Sia-> so sda1 ?
[01:41] <ivo_> will it have the desired effect: no slowdown??
[01:41] <fml-ish> ops
[01:41] <magicianlord> how do you use up 8gb?
[01:41] <fml-ish> sia-: yes thats it
[01:41] <ivo_> I use 64bit Win 7
[01:41] <Sia-> ok and you 'll mount it?
[01:41] <ivo_> to Program C+#
[01:41] <ivo_> to Program C#
[01:41] <ivo_> and a couple of client systems to test stuff
[01:41] <bazhang> !enter | ivo_
[01:41] <ivo_> sometimes I have my virtual ubuntu server with lamp
[01:41] <fml-ish> Sia- : im not very experienced in that because since Intrepid Ibex i never used windows for any purpose but back in the days it used to show me the partition automatically
[01:42] <ivo_> to program java
[01:42] <fml-ish> sia- : now it doesn't anymore unless i use ntfs-config  or mount, if i use gparted it will give me an error, if you want i can copy it here?
[01:42] <thenoob> Ubuntu 10.04 best user friendly distro ever.
[01:42] <Sia-> fml-ish, you need to see windoof partion in your ubuntu?
[01:42] <ivo_> and "play" with dbs and Win7 with VisualStudio compiling big solution
[01:43] <fml-ish> sia- : yes that would be nice, and i'd also need to mount it without making vista crash (if i force mount with what i described earlier and then i boot vista, pc will hang at loading screen then restart)
[01:43] <fml-ish> Sia- : i mean, its ok if ubuntu doesn't see my windows partition, im happy, its some kind of comfort to me, but it can't see any ntfs//fat partition and if i mount them my windows partition wont start, vista will just crash and so would xp
[01:44] <ivo_> I also made some tunings because the system was not responsive enough. I currently use Q9550. So do you think a nice SSD will help solve this "problem"
[01:44] <magicianlord> ivo_: probably not a hdd problem
[01:44] <Sia-> fml-ish, sudo mkdir /media/mywin ; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/mywin
[01:45] <fml-ish> sia- : i'm trying it right now but, unless my brain gone that will make my vista not boot, just crash and restart my pc
[01:45] <ivo_> no I have a soft RAID5 and currently lag the time to move my / on RAID1
[01:45] <fml-ish> Sia- : not being stubborn though, give me a second to try
[01:45] <Sia-> if you start the machine then is no problemo
[01:46] <fml-ish> Sia- : what do you mean?
[01:46] <jamescarr_> node.js
[01:46] <Sia-> if you want to see the win partion in your ubuntu nautilus, then you have to mount it
[01:46] <fml-ish> Sia- : but if i do i can't boot that partition
[01:47] <fml-ish> Sia- : windows will go to loading screen then crash and restart my pc
[01:47] <ivo_> Mem:   8125764k total,  8031420k used,    94344k free,    45468k buffers
[01:47] <Sia-> fml-ish, that have nothing to do with mounting from ubuntu
[01:47] <fml-ish> Sia- : apparently that didn't kill my vista partition since if i remove ubuntu and install open suse or fedora it will work fine, but i dont like open suse and cant use fedora
[01:48] <Sia-> Fedora is bad :) don't use it
[01:48] <fml-ish> Sia- : yes but intrepid ibex used to work fine why lucid doesnt O_O
[01:48] <fml-ish> Sia- : lol fedora is good to me but it gives me troubles with my video card
[01:48] <Sia-> fml-ish, what is your problem in 10.4?
[01:48] <fml-ish> Sia- : and since im going to sell this pc i need ti with ubuntu
[01:49] <xila> quick question, what package do i need for wmv to dvd iso ?
[01:49] <fml-ish> Sia- : problem is that if i mount a ntfs partition, any then any windows operating system wont start from that pc
[01:49] <Sia-> xila, gstreamer-uglly ...blbla
[01:49] <ivo_> gstreamer-ugly is not good
[01:49] <ivo_> buy the codec pack from fluendo
[01:49] <Sia-> fml-ish, i can' get you problem
[01:50] <spooky> Mornin'
[01:50] <xila> i have a file on wmv i'm trying to get to play on a regular dvd player, i THINK there is a package with a gui for (gnome) that allows for such thing to be done
[01:50] <fml-ish> Sia- : my english isnt that great can i make it simple?
[01:50] <X__> can't get sound to work in Amarok using Ubuntu 9.10!
[01:50] <Sia-> ivo_, the codec from multi media debian is good
[01:50] <xila> i use lucid with medibuntu repo
[01:50] <ivo_> I have bought the codec pack from fluendo and am really happy with it
[01:50] <ivo_> I also own the dvd player :)
[01:50] <magicianlord> fluendo is really good
[01:50] <Sia-> fml-ish, if you upgrade you ubuntu to last LTS what is the problem?
[01:51] <fml-ish> Sia- : ill try to make it basic so i wont get lost with my english
[01:51] <Sia-> xila, use vlc player
[01:51] <Sia-> ok, fml-ish are tried to upgrade you ubuntu to last version?
[01:52] <fml-ish> Sia- : 1 i installed windows vista  2 i installed ubuntu 10.04   3 i succesfully booted from vista  4 i successfully booted from ubuntu 5 i downloaded ubuntu updates   6 mounted my ntfs partition from ubuntu   7  i tried to boot from vista     8  vista crashed
[01:52] <fml-ish> Sia- : vista just wont boot without any error BSOD or such
[01:53] <fml-ish> Sia- : if i do the same with fedora or open suse it will work though so i wouldn't blame vista
[01:53] <Sia-> fml-ish, if you mount the hardisk then is for one session. after rebooting is every thing the same. grub load the system and i dont think that is ubuntu issue is vista fuckt up :)
[01:54] <fml-ish> Sia- : vista is a clean install, if i wipe out my HD and do the same with fedora or open suse it will work
[01:54] <fml-ish> Sia- : i don't think Microsoft likes fedora or open suse more than ubuntu
[01:54] <Sia-> fml-ish, fml-ish you have all of this on you pc?
[01:54] <greezmunkey> It's a conspiracy...
[01:54] <Sia-> fedora, suse ..etc
[01:54] <xila> fml-ish: i thought M$ had some sort of agreement with novell(suse)
[01:55] <ivo_> my new SWAP device: http://www.alternate.de/html/product/Festplatte/OCZ/Z-Drive_R2_p84_PCIe_SSD_512_GB/153137/?baseId=681427
[01:55] <ivo_> :D
[01:55] <fml-ish> Sia- : lol no, at the moment just ubuntu + windows, i did some tries with fedora or suse
[01:55] <fml-ish> Sia- : i was reporting you my previous attempts
[01:55] <Sia-> ivo_, sowas von ...
[01:55] <coz_> xila,  I believe it is a 12 year contract for shareing technologies
[01:55] <ivo_> leider bischen zu teuer für zuhause :)
[01:56] <fml-ish>  i found someone that asked me about menu.lst today but i was on open suse so i couldnt help =/
[01:56] <phobiac> Is it possible to completely restart whatever manages USB devices?
[01:56] <Sia-> fml-ish, ok remove vista partion and try to create from begin and install vista completely new on this partition
[01:56] <phobiac> lsusb reports that I have a webcam plugged in that isn't
[01:57] <fml-ish> Sia- : erm.....thats what i did
[01:57] <FabParma> which are the releases that maintain more updated the packages? thanks
[01:57] <greezmunkey> *Q* Is there any way to find out what changes are in kernel updates? Like this latest x.x.23 -> x.x.24?
[01:57] <fml-ish> Sia- : i totally wiped my HD like hundreds of times now lol
[01:58] <FabParma> sorry, i mistaken. which are the DISTROS that maintain more updated the packages? thanks
[01:58] <phobiac> I know a restart will fix this but I really don't want to have to restart this machine
[01:59] <Sia-> fml-ish, 1. go to System > Administration > Disk Utility 2. Remove and format vista partition 3. install vista on this partition 4. added vista in grub booat loaded and update-grub
[01:59] <fml-ish> Sia- : tried that
[01:59] <phobiac> FabParma: Fedora has a "bleeding edge" variant that is updated fairly often
[01:59] <Sia-> if you start vista alone working fine?
[02:00] <fml-ish> Sia- : only vista on my hd? yes, even if i dual boot but dont mount the ntfs partition it will work fine
[02:00] <greezmunkey> phobiac: you will have to modprobe (remove) the webcam driver, then reinstall it, most likely.
[02:00] <phobiac> FabParma: Newer does not always mean better though, unless you have very new hardware or need a new feature stick with a more stable system
[02:00] <Sia-> why you mount it from ubuntu?
[02:01] <fml-ish> Sia- : because windows needs me to download thousands of drivers before working.......lol
[02:01] <greezmunkey> phobiac: like "sudo modprobe -vr {modulename}, then sudo modprobe -v {modulename}"
[02:01] <Sia-> really i can't believe that, that you mount a partition but after reboot system doesn't working!!??
[02:01] <phobiac> greezmunkey: I've tried that, but lsusb still reports the same webcam is plugged in
[02:01] <Sia-> is something wrong, hmm
[02:01] <fml-ish> Sia- : thats right
[02:02] <phobiac> fml-ish: wait, what's the problem?
[02:02] <Sia-> you can mount the partition and umount it agian
[02:02] <Sia-> again*
[02:02] <xila> Sia-: forgive me for being slow but will VLC allow for avi to dvd iso?
[02:03] <fml-ish> phobiac : i can't dual boot vista + ubuntu 10.04, first of all i cant mount ntfs partition, if i force it with mount or ntfs-config and reboot my vista partition wont boot, would just go to loading screen and restart
[02:03] <bazhang> xila, try devede
[02:03] <fml-ish> Sia- : tried that too, i even tried vodoo rituals to be honest lol
[02:03] <phobiac> fml-ish: what error is given when you don't force the mounting of the ntfs partition?
[02:03] <th3_4zarado> julian assange ....god bless tis man ...he is a modern day hero
[02:03] <greezmunkey> phobiac: check this out: http://superuser.com/questions/141908/how-do-i-reset-an-usb-device-without-unplugging-it-in-linux
[02:03] <xila> thanks bazhang
[02:04] <fml-ish> phobiac: it can't see any ntfs partition, the only error is given by gparted, else ubuntu just seems to not realize that any ntfs partition exists
[02:04] <phobiac> greezmunkey: ubuntu doesn't use hal anymore unless you have hardware that needs it for some reason
[02:04] <fml-ish> phobiac : i know where it is so i can use mount or ntfs-config but else ubuntu will just ignore of ntfs partition existance
[02:04] <phobiac> greezmunkey: I tried restarting udev but that didn't work either :(
[02:04] <technizo> i am having an issue that i am unable to find an answer online...may i state it here for assistance please?
[02:05] <Sia-> ok is 3:05 gn8 all together
[02:05] <fml-ish> Sia- : you too, thanks for your attention
[02:05] <phobiac> fml-ish: are you in ubuntu right now?
[02:05] <xybre> Explain this please, I removed a file from /usr/bin because it was overriding a different binary already in my path, then I get an error that "/usr/bin/foo can't be found" while "which foo" gives me the correct binary (not in /usr/bin)
[02:05] <fml-ish> phobiac: yes i am, more details? xubuntu (even though i don't need that the DE would make any difference right now)
[02:05] <antonio_2> hey all
[02:05] <phobiac> technizo: that's what this channel is for! :D
[02:06] <antonio_2> I'm ready to set up a dual boot with win 7...I've got 9.04 as a livecd...
[02:06] <technizo> i am trying to use rhythembox....i got my songs into the prog and everything but the ubuntu one it giving me this error msg the error msg is apache/2/2/8 (ubuntu) mod_wsgi/2.0 python/2.5.2 server at one.ubuntu.com port 3128
[02:06] <antonio_2> What do I need to do?
[02:06] <phobiac> fml-ish: would you be comfortable with using the command line?
[02:06] <fml-ish> phobiac : to solve my problem?
[02:06] <phobiac> fml-ish: hopefully
[02:06] <technizo> antonio: put in the live cd and boot from cd
[02:06] <gotroot> Hi, can anyone help me setup an FTP server in Ubuntu Server?
[02:07] <fml-ish> phobiac: i own a mac, and i do 80% of what i need there from command line so yes , i would be comfortable
[02:07] <phobiac> antonio_2: is it possible to get a newer livecd?
[02:07] <fml-ish> phobiac: though im not on my mac right now, im from a normal pc lol
[02:07] <gotroot> Hi, can anyone help me setup an FTP server in Ubuntu Server?
[02:07] <antonio_2> phobiac: the thing is, I have 9.10 on the old lapppy..trying to back everything up...accidentally downloaded 9.04...
[02:07] <hspaans> gotroot: where do you get stuck?
[02:07] <phobiac> antonio_2: 9.04 is kind of old right now, it'd be best to at least used 10.04
[02:07] <antonio_2> I'm probably going to install 9.04 and then just upgrade to 9.10...
[02:07] <bah> tell me does compiz work with pekwm?
[02:08] <antonio_2> back up the folders I have..then upgrade to the latest
[02:08] <gotroot> hspaans: Well I was using proftpd, and it all worked but I was locked to my users area, i couldn't go to /var/www.  I tried changing the DocumentRoot but it didn't work, it still wouldn't let me in.
[02:08] <phobiac> fml-ish: okay, can you tell me if sudo fdisk -l lists the NTFS partition?
[02:08] <bazhang> bah, try in #compiz ?
[02:08] <phobiac> I'm assuming yes if you can mount
[02:08] <peanut090> list
[02:08] <fml-ish> phobia : it does, do you want my pastebin?
[02:09] <phobiac> antonio_2: it's really better to get the version you want to use and install that. upgrading between versions CAN have potentional headaches
[02:09] <phobiac> fml-ish: that'd be perfect
[02:09] <fml-ish> phobia: here you are http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/C4eRs7Tb
[02:09] <phobiac> antonio_2: I'm not saying you can't do it, it just causes less problems down the line
[02:09] <gotroot> hspaans?
[02:09] <antonio_2> phobiac: what about the fact that I have backed up my home folder, etc and usr from the 9.10 machine?
[02:09] <hspaans> gotroot: you talk in riddles
[02:10] <gotroot> hspanns: Sorry :) I'll try to explain better.
[02:10] <xila> Question: Lucid will notice that i'm on a multi-core on install correct and how do i check to see if it notices?
[02:10] <phobiac> fml-ish: Can you pastebin me your /etc/fstab?
[02:10] <antonio_2> if I install lucid and copy/paste those folders, won't that come with problems?
[02:10] <TechNeZo> whats the best partition prog for ubuntu? or is there one other what it has installed?
[02:10] <bazhang> xila, sure it will. uname -r to check the kernel
[02:10] <phobiac> antonio_2: you're MUCH more likely to have problems using settings from a 9.10 system on a 9.04 install
[02:11] <gotroot> hspaans: I installed the ProFTPD server, it all worked fine and I could connect to it, however I was jailed to my home directory, I couldn't change to /var/www (which is where I want to go).  I tried changing the DocumentRoot in proftpd.conf, but that didn't help at all.
[02:11] <bazhang> TechNeZo, no best; gparted is good though
[02:11] <TechNeZo> phobiac: you see my two questions?
[02:11] <antonio_2> ah so just download 9.10 copy everything..then upgrade to lucid?
[02:11] <phobiac> antonio_2: Really, your best bet here is to get at least ubuntu 10.04
[02:11] <TechNeZo> thanks bazhang
[02:11] <fml-ish> phobiac: sure
[02:11] <fml-ish> phobiac: is that what you need? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Ejs3hPyc
[02:11] <phobiac> TechNeZo: Gparted is perfectly fine and works for almost all needs
[02:11] <bazhang> phobiac, you mean 10.04; 10.10 is still in development
[02:11] <fml-ish> phobiac: i feel like i did some bs now lol
[02:12] <phobiac> bazhang: I said 10.04 :P
[02:12] <bazhang> phobiac, must have misread your 'at least'
[02:12] <antonio_2> so can I install 10.04 then backup my 9.10 folders (home, etc and usr) without any problems?
[02:12] <xila> bazhang: isn't there some sort of command line command that displays everything ubuntu regonizes and is using ?
[02:12] <gotroot> hspaans?
[02:12] <phobiac> fml-ish: Okay, do you want me to just walk you through hopefully fixing it or do you want a quick explanation of what I'm doing as well?
[02:13] <bazhang> xila, all installed packages? or processes running? which one
[02:13] <xila> hardware
[02:13] <phobiac> antonio_2: Did you make /home a seperate partition on the old install?
[02:13] <bazhang> xila, sudo lshw
[02:13] <xila> thanks
[02:13] <fml-ish> phobiac: both would be great but probably i could get what i'm doing, lets try just fixing it if i have questions i ask?
[02:13] <antonio_2> I don't think so phobiac
[02:13] <antonio_2> how would that make a difference
[02:13] <steve__> hi, does anyone know what || means in computer science?
[02:13] <tacotron> Hey guys trying to install kernel 2.6.33 onto my ubuntu 10.04 amd64 i followed some instructions but they didnt work it wouldnt let me install the kernel headers.. whats the easiest way to get from 2.6.32 to 2.6.33?
[02:14] <gotroot> Can anyone help me install an FTP server so I can get to /var/www?
[02:14] <bazhang> !ot | steve__
[02:14] <hspaans> gotroot: take a look at DefaultRoot and DefaultChdir
[02:14] <fml-ish> phobiac: so you won't lose much time
[02:14] <gotroot> hspaans:  I changed DefaultRoot, but it didn't work at all.
[02:14] <phobiac> antonio_2: What you should do is backup everything in your /home/whateveryourusernameis folder, then install 10.04 completely clean (wipe everything! unless you're dual booting) and then put the backup stuff back in
[02:14] <phobiac> antonio_2: that only saves settings, not what you had installed
[02:14] <steve__> like (Recpt City -> Rcpt District,(lansing||8))
[02:14] <antonio_2> ok...
[02:14] <steve__> anyone?
[02:14] <hspaans> gotroot: restarted ftpd and logged in again?
[02:14] <bazhang> steve__, that has nothing to do with ubuntu
[02:14] <phobiac> fml-ish: sorry, I'm not trying to ignore you. just doing to simple solutions first really quick
[02:15] <bazhang> steve__, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:15] <phobiac> fml-ish: okay basically you want the windows partition automatically mounted, right?
[02:15] <gotroot> hspaans: Yes
[02:15] <fml-ish> phobiac: erm, i know you are not ignoring me i just said that if i ask explanations just when i dont get what im doing probably you lose less time with me
[02:15] <phobiac> fml-ish: and if you do it right it should solve the other issues
[02:15] <fml-ish> phobiac: probably i expressed bad myself =P
[02:15] <hspaans> tacotron: install "kernel-package" and use make-kpkg
[02:15] <antonio_2> I downloaded the 10.04 dvd already..its the alternate version..thats not the livecd is it?
[02:15] <phobiac> fml-ish: I know, I just didn't want to come across that I was ignoring you
[02:16] <fml-ish> phobiac: no i dont care if mount is automatic, i just want it to mount without making my vista boot crash
[02:16] <phobiac> antonio_2: the DVD is perfectly fine for installing
[02:16] <tacotron> hspaans: literally apt-get install kernel-package and that will upgrade me to 2.6.33? im trying to get StarCraft 2 to run and they said if i do .33 then patch it it should owrk
[02:16] <bazhang> antonio_2, its the install only text based version
[02:16] <fml-ish> phobiac: there are 1421 users right now, it's obvious that you can't care only me =]
[02:16] <antonio_2> bazhang: so I need to download the desktop one, right?
[02:16] <phobiac> bazhang: I don't think so, the DVD is an alternate install (sort of)
[02:16] <hspaans> gotroot: drop the statements
[02:17] <phobiac> antonio_2: if you have the DVD you're fine
[02:17] <bazhang> antonio_2, depends what you are trying to do
[02:17] <phobiac> bazhang: the alternate install you're thinking of is only a CD
[02:17] <gotroot> hspaans: What do you mean?
[02:17] <antonio_2> I'm trying to do a dual boot
[02:17] <hspaans> gotroot: and did you change them on the right section?
[02:17] <phobiac> fml-ish: okay, so basically the /etc/fstab file is how linux knows what to mount automatically
[02:17] <gotroot> hspaans: I changed DocumentRoot to /var/www/ in proftpd.conf
[02:17] <antonio_2> the alternatve one I have is only like 600 megs...
[02:17] <nwmatt> i am running ubuntu 10.04.  When I insert a blank CD, it shows up as Blank CD-R disc on my "Computer" folder.  When I go to burn the disc however, it only will allow me to make an iso saying i need to insert a blank cd.  where should i start with debugging
[02:17] <antonio_2> so its probably a cd I imagine
[02:17] <hspaans> tacotron: did I said that? no
[02:17] <bazhang> antonio_2, if you are less familiar with Ubuntu and/or text based installer the live cd will be easier
[02:18] <phobiac> fml-ish: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/75eKgqj0 this is what mine looks like
[02:18] <fml-ish> phobiac: thats the only thing i know of fstab to be honest lol
[02:18] <hspaans> gotroot: turn debugging on and see which decisions proftpd takes
[02:18] <gotroot> hspaans: how do I do that?
[02:18] <tacotron> hspaans: im just asking to make sure.. ive only done kernel upgrades when ive been auto prompted.. i dont knwo what im doing here.. i did apt-get install kernel-package.. but when i run make-kpkg it says i need to be in a top level kernel source tree.. wheres that?
[02:18] <phobiac> fml-ish: what were you using to mount the windows partition? just sudo mount /dev/sda1?
[02:19] <phobiac> antonio_2: oh, yeah, you have the alternate install
[02:19] <phobiac> antonio_2: get the regular 10.04 CD
[02:19] <hspaans> gotroot: sudo apt-get install proftpd-doc
[02:19] <phobiac> antonio_2: you only need to jump through hoops and get the alternate installer in very limited and special cases
[02:19] <fml-ish> phobiac: honestly i tried tons of times, i used mount -ntfs (not sure its correct)   i tried ntfs-config  i tried gparted (which said device was locked O_O or such error, if you want i can reproduce) the first 2 mounted it but made my vista partition not bootable, better, it boots but at loading screen it crashes and restarts
[02:19] <antonio_2> whats up with the windows installer?
[02:20] <hspaans> tacotron: if you have those questions then stop right here and don't go any further
[02:20] <antonio_2> does it make the dual booting easier to setup?
[02:20] <phobiac> antonio_2: the windows installer installs ubuntu as if it were a program. it isn't really a true install and isn't dual booting, it's more to test out ubuntu before doing a full install
[02:20] <tacotron> um.. why.. i just need some help to update my kernel..
[02:21] <bazhang> antonio_2, wubi? install from inside windows?
[02:21] <antonio_2> ah, so scratch that then
[02:21] <phobiac> fml-ish: the proper way to do it is using the ntfs-3g tools
[02:21] <gotroot> hspaans: Now everytime I connect it says my password is incorrect...
[02:21] <phobiac> fml-ish: is it mounted right now?
[02:21] <antonio_2> is it kind of like having a virtual box then/
[02:21] <antonio_2> ?
[02:21] <phobiac> antonio_2: yes, exactly
[02:21] <hspaans> gotroot: read the logfiles
[02:21] <phobiac> antonio_2: if you get the regular ubuntu 10.04 install CD and just load it up, the installer is very informative and will walk you through it
[02:22] <fml-ish> phobiac: not sure i used ntfs-3g tools, bad memory here, can we try? and no its neither mounted nor shown anywhere, ubuntu just ignores its existance as i said previously its like there isnt any vista (woooo hooooo that would be good but right now is needed lol)
[02:22] <nwmatt> anyone available to help debug a problem with writing cd/dvd's?
[02:22] <phobiac> antonio_2: have you already backed up old settings?
[02:22] <jrib> nwmatt: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[02:22] <phobiac> fml-ish: well, fdisk sees it, so ubuntu knows it is there. it just doesn't know it's supposed to do something with it (that's fstab's job)
[02:22] <hspaans> tacotron: if 2.6.32 in ubuntu misses something crucial then raise a bug report. 2.6.33 is not a long term kernel release, 2.6.32 is
[02:22] <nwmatt> jrib: did earlier but will try again
[02:23] <fml-ish> phobiac: seems clear enough
[02:23] <phobiac> fml-ish: where do you want the windows partition to be mounted to? (I us /windows)
[02:23] <tacotron> hspaans: then what about 2.6.35? i can use that one as well..
[02:23] <phobiac> err, I use /windows
[02:23] <phobiac> but you could use any directory really
[02:23] <fml-ish> phobiac: i dont care, to be honest i prefer it in /media/windows   or any name / position would be fine)
[02:23] <nwmatt> when i insert a blank cd, it shows up as blank cd.  When I copy files into it and hit burn, iso is the only option
[02:23] <fml-ish> phobiac: i mean, anywhere is good to me
[02:24] <phobiac> fml-ish: do sudo mkdir /windows (or /media/windows, although it's better to not use the media folder for this)
[02:24] <hspaans> tacotron: raise a bugreport, I'm not going to help you to shoot yourself in the foot
[02:24] <phobiac> that's an old method, /media is more for USB drives and the like
[02:24] <aldo> teste
[02:24] <fml-ish> phobiac: i didnt know about that media thing, thanks for the information ill use /windows
[02:25] <tacotron> hspaans: why do i need to raise a bug report? theres nothing wrong.. i just need a specific kernel (as instructed by wine) to run StarCraft II!
[02:25] <phobiac> fml-ish: it really doesn't matter that much, but the "rules" say that
[02:25] <phobiac> where these "rules" are written down I have no clue
[02:25] <fml-ish> phobiac: i hate rules usually lol but yeah lets do so >.<
[02:25] <nwmatt> when i insert a blank cd, it shows up as blank cd.  When I copy files into it and hit burn, iso is the only option.  where should i start debugging.  have replaced the burner but that didnt help
[02:25] <hspaans> tacotron: ubuntu is supplied with 2.6.32 and nothing else and you're missing something
[02:25] <phobiac> fml-ish: oklay, so /windows is made?
[02:25] <rww> umm. There's no problem with using /media/windows :\
[02:26] <fml-ish> phobia: yes it is
[02:26] <tacotron> yeah.. i know lucid comes with 2.6.32.. thats why i need to get it to .33 or .35! what could i possibly be missing
[02:26] <fml-ish> rww: what phobia said, and what i used to do till now but, new look for it?
[02:26] <phobiac> rww: it isn't a huge deal, it doesn't cause problems, it's just better not to.
[02:26] <rww> phobiac: Why?
[02:26] <headkase314> phobiac: how about /mnt?
[02:26] <hspaans> tacotron: 2.6.32 in ubuntu is a hybride between 2.6.32 en 2.6.33
[02:27] <fml-ish> that i know you can mount them anywhere just probably phobiac wanted to follow a standard
[02:27] <tacotron> if thats the case.. wouldnt a diff patch for 2.6.33 work for 2.6.32?
[02:27] <NTQ> hi there. I have a problem with curlftpfs. I did the how-to on http://www.exanto.de/sftp-und-ftp-unter-linux-mounten.html but I still have no rights to write in files. creating empty files is working, but not writing in it.
[02:27] <phobiac> fml-ish: tell me what happens when you do sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /windows
[02:28] <fml-ish> phobia: no erros apparently it did it
[02:28] <phobiac> rww: that's the word I'm looking for, it's standard to use /media for hotpluggable drives and the like. not things you mount all the time
[02:28] <hspaans> tacotron: no, 2.6.32 is a long term kernel and with 2.6.33 they started to change certain curcial things like API-calls
[02:28] <fml-ish> phobia : i cd-ed there i can see my windows stuff
[02:28] <tacotron> well then.. i need .33 then or else i cant get my game to work
[02:28] <fml-ish> phobia: problem is that if i reboot now vista will crash lol
[02:28] <phobiac> headkase314: /mnt is fine. Hell, you could really use anything that isn't already being used. Whatever works for you
[02:28] <fml-ish> phobia : not sure 100% tho
[02:28] <rww> phobiac: I'm not aware of a standard that says that.
[02:28] <hspaans> tacotron: good luck with your feed and good bye
[02:29] <hspaans> s/feed/feet/
[02:29] <tacotron> dont know why u had to be so rude.. im not rude when im helping people.. seriously
[02:29] <headkase314> tacotron: you looking for kernels?
[02:29] <phobiac> fml-ish: Okay, try rebooting. You might have to reboot vista twice, and it might tell you it needs to do a chkdsk. LET IT DO THIS.
[02:29] <fml-ish> phobiac: twice? what do yo mean?
[02:29] <phobiac> rww: it seems to be what the distros are doing now and really I don't see any reason to argue about this
[02:30] <tacotron> headkase314: i was.. but i found a diff .33 kernel that is working.. couldnt get the headers to install on 2.6.33 but on rc5 i could.. thanks tho!
[02:30] <headkase314> tacotron: Late to the conversation, you know about -> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[02:30] <phobiac> fml-ish: I mean boot into Vista. Restart. Boot into Vista.
[02:30] <tacotron> yeah i just found that ^^ thanks tho
[02:30] <fml-ish> phobia: so vista is supposed to boot?
[02:30] <tacotron> i just installed the most recent .33.. gonna reboot see if that works
[02:30] <headkase314> tacotron: that is as close as you'll get to non-standard kernels still supplied by Canonical.
[02:30] <fml-ish> phobia: ok i ll be right back
[02:30] <phobiac> fml-ish: well yes, usually operating systems do that... :P
[02:30] <fml-ish> phobia: rofl
[02:30] <fml-ish> phobia: i meant to boot and to not restart like it uses to
[02:31] <fml-ish> phobia: brb and thanks so far
[02:31] <phobiac> fml-ish: hopefully it won't
[02:31] <rww> phobiac: I'm not arguing, I'm just curious as to where you got that point of view, since I've never heard it before.
[02:31]  * rww shrugs
[02:31] <sweetpi> rww: http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy.html#media
[02:32] <phobiac> rww: sorry, I looked into it more. I'm just saying this based off of experience. I haven't seen a distro set up windows to automount in /media for almost two years now
[02:32] <rww> sweetpi: ta
[02:32] <phobiac> Err, I mean I looked into what you said too much.
[02:32] <phobiac> Got the wrong impression
[02:33] <profxavier> I am attempting to get putty+Xming to work together, i have sshd setup on my Ubuntu box, but Xming doesn't seem to be playing nice, can someone lend a hand ?
[02:33] <phobiac> ah, okay, so it wasn't just my imagination
[02:33] <phobiac> profxavier: I can attempt to help. I got this working once in the past. Did you set sshd to allow X11 forwarding?
[02:34] <profxavier> yes, phobiac, sshd is setup and ready
[02:34] <phobiac> profxavier: by the way, unless you're using a local network or really fast internet X11 forwarding over ssh is slow as all kinds of slow things
[02:35] <profxavier> X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 X11UseLocalhost yes
[02:35] <phobiac> profxavier: what is Xmind doing/not doing?
[02:35] <profxavier> well, I attempt to use it, by starting XLaunch
[02:36] <profxavier> (putty is already connected, I setup putty too]
[02:36] <phobiac> does Xlaunch not run?
[02:36] <phobiac> also, when I used Xming it did the connection part. You didn't have to already have putty running
[02:37] <fml-ish> phobiac: omfg!!! it worked just fine not even chkdisk needed
[02:37] <fml-ish> phobiac: it hasnt asked me to
[02:37] <fml-ish> phobiac: thanks so much!
[02:37] <profxavier> winClipboardProc - DISPLAY=<IP_ADDRESS>:0.0
[02:37] <profxavier> winClipboardProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display.
[02:37] <phobiac> fml-ish: WAIT! I can do more
[02:37] <profxavier> looks like its running correctly
[02:37] <fml-ish> phobiac: date me?
[02:37] <fml-ish> Phobiac: lol
[02:38] <phobiac> fml-ish: If you give me a moment I can give you an fstab to automount windows for you
[02:38] <fml-ish> phobiac: i wasn't going anywhere i just said thanks so much
[02:38] <fml-ish> phobiac: oh that would be awesome, i don't really need it AT THE MOMENT but in a future that would do me
[02:38] <phobiac> fml-ish: I'm a dude and straight, so dating is likely not going to happen
[02:38] <phobiac> profxavier: and then nothing happens?
[02:38] <fml-ish> phobiac: i was joking of course, was neither offending you nor being sarcastic
[02:38] <phobiac> profxavier: did you set it to autostart xterm?
[02:38] <profxavier>  xeyes
[02:38] <profxavier> Error: Can't open display:
[02:38] <phobiac> fml-ish: I was just joking too :P
[02:39] <phobiac> profxavier: oh god that problem. Okay, I know I had that. If you give me a second to help out fml-ish I can try to did up whatever helped me before
[02:39] <fml-ish> phobiac : yes got you, just didnt want to be misunderstood
[02:39] <profxavier> sure, no rush here, either
[02:41] <RandyRKelly> Is there a driver disk for Ubuntu
[02:41] <Kizaru> on step 4 of the gui installation, it says my hdd is empty when fdisk -l reports (accurately) that there are 2 other partitions on the drive
[02:42] <bazhang> RandyRKelly, codecs and drivers and such?
[02:43] <lbakalinsky> Hey is anyone running the latest 10.10 build?
[02:43] <bazhang> lbakalinsky, people in #ubuntu+1
[02:43] <phobiac> fml-ish: can you pastebin the output of ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
[02:43] <phobiac> please
[02:44] <phobiac> profxavier: if you don't want to wait around for me, although you probably already have, try googling the error message
[02:44] <RandyRKelly> Yes
[02:44] <phobiac> RandyRKelly: The kernel is the driver disc
[02:44] <fml-ish> phobiac: no need to say please you are the one helping i should say please http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/11qGHB5W  here it is
[02:44] <vmf007> need to find out if my soundcard supports midi, how do I find out the specs on it to go on it's website and read on it?
[02:44] <bazhang> RandyRKelly, no, you would need to install codecs with the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, and there are various drivers that can be installed once Ubuntu itself is on your system
[02:45] <RandyRKelly> Were I get the kernel?
[02:45] <profxavier> which error message ?
[02:45] <profxavier> Error: Can't open display ?
[02:45] <phobiac> RandyRKelly: you have the kernel if you have linux installed
[02:45] <bazhang> RandyRKelly, its installed with the system
[02:45] <RandyRKelly> phobiac: kernel?
[02:46] <phobiac> profxavier: yeah, google that with "Xming ssh" tacked onto the end
[02:46] <RandyRKelly> Well not working
[02:46] <phobiac> RandyRKelly: what isn't working?
[02:46] <headkase314> RandyRKelly: Unlike Windows the installation of Ubuntu takes care of most drivers for you: they are included.  This is not an absolute rule just the general case.
[02:46] <bazhang> RandyRKelly, not all drivers are in the kernel
[02:46] <bazhang> RandyRKelly, particularly the proprietary ones
[02:47] <bazhang> RandyRKelly, you really need to explain the issue rather than say 'not working'
[02:47] <RandyRKelly> Driving
[02:48] <vmf007> need to find out if my soundcard supports midi, how do I find out the specs on it to go on it's website and read on it?
[02:48] <RandyRKelly> Brb
[02:48] <headkase314> RandyRKelly: Is it sound, or video not working?
[02:48] <bazhang> !details > RandyRKelly
[02:49] <Kizaru> so, why would the gui install not see win7 partitions?
[02:49] <phobiac> fml-ish: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/GSmY9xSs Do EXACTLY this, to prevent problems. Copy /etc/fstab (you can use sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup) then put the contents of that pastebin in the fstab file, not the backup one but the normal one. It's easier to do this with a GUI, so run gksu gedit /etc/fstab
[02:49] <phobiac> then just copy and paste and save
[02:49] <fml-ish> phobiac: when we are done with this do you think i can ask you another thing? its not realted in any way to the original problem, oh and thanks for the pastebin
[02:49] <phobiac> next time you boot windows should be in /windows
[02:49] <phobiac> fml-ish: feel free, of course
[02:50] <vmf007> need to find out if my soundcard supports midi, how do I find out the specs on it to go on it's website and read on it?
[02:50] <kn100_> I have a slight problem
[02:50] <kn100_> my webcam works with ubuntu, but I want to be able to adjust the exposure
[02:50] <headkase314> vmf007: Do you want to use your soundcard to control an external MIDI device?
[02:50] <kn100_> because at higher exposures the framerate goes to crap
[02:51] <phobiac> vmf007: you need the details of the card? do lspci | grep -i audio
[02:51] <fml-ish> phobiac: anything about macs? (not mac os x but ubuntu on a mac)
[02:51] <phobiac> vmf007: it should give you just the audio device
[02:51] <kn100_> but i can only set the exposure from certain programs and not for emesene and skype
[02:51] <phobiac> profxavier: does the system you're X11 forwarding have X running?
[02:51] <uRock> !webac > kn100_
[02:51] <profxavier> phobiac, still need a hand, when you are finished
[02:51] <uRock> !webcam > kn100_
[02:51] <vmf007> eventually headkase, right now, just wanna play a midi file, and am getting no sound
[02:51] <vmf007> thanks probiac
[02:52] <phobiac> fml-ish: I'm not that good with macs BUT I may have someone I can relay questions to
[02:52] <fml-ish> phobiac: so am i allowed to ask you?
[02:52] <kn100_> uRock, I'll look into it
[02:52] <headkase314> vmf007: Does your soundcard have the appropriate port on the computer to plug a MIDI device into it?
[02:52] <phobiac> fml-ish: ask away, someone else might know it too
[02:52] <LinuxGuy2009> If I installed the default ubuntu which uses gnome, and then create a repository disc using aptoncd of all installed apps, then I put that repo disc in a kubuntu machine, and try to install those same set of apps, will all of the dependencies be there or is there a chance that some will be missing?
[02:52] <UberN00b> hey there, I cant open a web page in ...ermm normal view ?  i get it in text-only version, and that is for this specific web page only. is this because of firefox ?
[02:52] <phobiac> geeze guys it's okay to ask questions here
[02:53] <phobiac> profxavier: did you see what I said before?
[02:53] <headkase314> vmf007: I'm not really competent to help you with this issue, just generating information in the chat.
[02:53] <fml-ish> phobia: i was trying to install ubuntu on my imac without using rEFIt or bootcamp (seems that linux supports efi so why using bios emulation? ) is there any way?
[02:53] <vmf007> don't think so
[02:54] <vmf007> but when I used windows I was able to use cakewalk on this same pc
[02:54] <phobiac> fml-ish: Does this maybe help? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Intel_iMac
[02:54] <vmf007> now I'm trying out rosegarden
[02:54] <fml-ish> phobiac: lets see :P even tho i think solution wasnt there
[02:55] <phobiac> profxavier: I can't remember if X is supposed to be running or not for X11 forwarding, but I think it is supposed to be.
[02:55] <kn100_> and what's the name of that command that lets you create masks for commands
[02:55] <kn100_> so you could make sagu launch sudo apt-get update
[02:55] <perfect> hello
[02:55] <perfect> hello
[02:55] <perfect> inubu
[02:55] <kn100_> perfect, hello!
[02:55] <vmf007> probiac,  the command u gave me to find out my sound card specs said the following. syntax error near unexpected token `do'
[02:56] <fml-ish> phobia: indeed it involves using Windows
[02:56] <brianguertin> My screen resolution is wrong after logging in after a certain user. What user-specific setting could affect screen resolution?
[02:56] <fml-ish> phobia: id like a dual boot
[02:56] <ForestBear> hey guys I want to convert files from .3gp to, say, .mpg using ffmpeg, all I could find on the forums was the other way around. I have all the unstripped libraries, is there something else I need (like compiling ffmpeg?)
[02:56] <perfect> please can you speak french
[02:56] <fml-ish> phobia : or refit
[02:56] <bazhang> perfect, in #ubuntu-fr
[02:56] <UberN00b> hey there, I cant open a web page in ...ermm normal view ?  i get it in text-only version, and that is for this specific web page only. is this because of firefox ?
[02:56] <phobiac> vmf007: linux has audio editing tools that are going to integrate better than things installed with wine
[02:57] <phobiac> vmf007: no no, not the do
[02:57] <phobiac> vmf007: run lspci | grep -i audio
[02:57] <vmf007> phobiac, Rosegarden is from linux
[02:58] <phobiac> starting with lspci
[02:58] <phobiac> vmf007: ah, didn't see the Rosegarden thing
[02:58] <vmf007> lol
[02:58] <phobiac> fml-ish: I'm not too knowledgable about mac installations, sorry :/
[02:58] <vmf007> thanks, command worked
[02:58] <fml-ish> phobiac: no sorrow at all, rather thank you very much for fixing my dual boot problem
[02:59] <crux000> Anyone out there a guru with 'find'?
[02:59] <phobiac> fml-ish: did you try just using the install cd and seeing what happens?
[02:59] <fml-ish> phobiac: i just didnt want to use rEFIt because im concerned about security rofl and i wanted a native solution
[02:59] <phobiac> fml-ish: also, I'm glad it's working
[02:59] <fml-ish> phobiac: alternate, it said i cant install grub lol
[02:59] <phobiac> crux000: not sure what you are looking for, but did you try locate instead of find?
[02:59] <vmf007> off, to find out in the website, thanks phobiac and headkase
[02:59] <fml-ish> phobiac: ill see in future with the desktop version and cross my fingers =P
[02:59] <crux000> phobiac: I need to rename a bunch of files that have a space as the last character in filename; turns out fat32 doesn't like it.
[02:59] <phobiac> I tried to make sense of find one and locate ended up working better for the situation
[03:00]  * crux000 has had success with colons, quotes, and a few other illegals, but the space-at-end-of-line is a PITA
[03:00] <phobiac> crux000: sorry, I'd end up making it worse if I tried to help. I know enough to know that
[03:00] <phobiac> fml-ish: good luck
[03:01] <crux000> np, think I figured it out.
[03:01] <fml-ish> phobia: thanks , and ty again for my dual boot issue, wish there was something more than a ty but.......i really cant mail you a beer or something lol
[03:01] <fml-ish> phobia: much appreciated
[03:01] <phobiac> crux000: http://techgurulive.com/2008/09/22/how-to-remove-spaces-from-filenames-linux/ i found this in case it helps
[03:01] <phobiac> profxavier: you there?
[03:01] <profxavier> sorry, I was in another channel
[03:01] <fml-ish> phobiac: omfg sorry for the typo (phobia instead of phobiac)
[03:01] <phobiac> ah, that's okay
[03:01] <profxavier> phobiac, ready when you are
[03:02] <phobiac> haha it's okay, vmf007 was calling me probiac
[03:02] <fml-ish> phobiac: 4 am, good kids should go bed, ill follow them lol, good night when u have to
[03:02] <phobiac> I highlight on phobia too so no problem
[03:02] <phobiac> good night
[03:02] <fml-ish> bye
[03:02] <phobiac> profxavier: do you have X running on the machine you're connecting to?
[03:03] <profxavier> phobiac, I believe so, I copied the last two lines of the .log in the channel before
[03:03] <phobiac> OH wait I know what it is
[03:03] <phobiac> maybe
[03:03] <phobiac> how did you set up Xming?
[03:03] <phobiac> profxavier: did you use the wizard?
[03:04] <profxavier> XLaunch
[03:04] <profxavier> i also have to configure putty
[03:04] <profxavier> in putty, I enable X11 forwarding
[03:04] <profxavier> then I need to specify 'X display location'
[03:04] <warren94> i need help with my wifi
[03:05] <phobiac> profxavier: yeah, did you set it all up by using the Xlaunch wizard?
[03:05] <RandyRKelly> Hey guys let me log onto PC
[03:06] <headkase314> warren94: is this a new installation and wifi has never been configured before?
[03:06] <phobiac> profxavier: if you use the XLaunch wizard you don't need to have putty running seperately, assuming you got the plink install
[03:06] <supercom32> In bash, is there a way to do a FOR loop returning directories instead of files?
[03:07] <bazhang> supercom32, try #bash ?
[03:07] <warren94> @headkase314 i just inslaled ubuntu as the mane os i hade it as a side by side and it was working
[03:07] <profxavier> oh, wait
[03:07] <profxavier> really ?
[03:07] <profxavier> then how do I config my key, for putty ?
[03:07] <phobiac> profxavier: ya
[03:07] <phobiac> profxavier: there's an "additional parameters" box
[03:08] <phobiac> I didn't use a key but I know you can specify a key file there
[03:08] <profxavier> ok, whats this about plink ?
[03:08] <headkase314> warren94: Have you gone into System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and checked for the drivers there? (Before doing this run System > Administration > Update Manager at least once and Check for Updates while in it).  You will need Internet on the Ubuntu machine so you want to have that connected to a wired port while you do these two things.
[03:08] <profxavier> its not in the package for putty
[03:09] <fizk_> hey guys, I installed ubuntu on a quad core and i'm seeing 8 CPUs
[03:09] <warren94> headkase314: i have whent to hardwarer drivers and thier is nothing their
[03:09] <phobiac> profxavier: plink is the thing Xming uses to make putty connections
[03:09] <phobiac> profxavier: it should be in the Xming install folder
[03:09] <fizk_> intel i930
[03:09] <ForestBear> nvm, I used mobile media converter and solved my problem without ffmpeg
[03:09] <phobiac> fizk_: sweet! ubuntu gave you 4 more
[03:10] <headkase314> warren94: you have to run Update Manager at least once for Hardware Drivers to work correctly and you need Internet on the machine - through a wired port is ideal.
[03:10] <fizk_> phobiac, yea.. is that hyperthreading?
[03:10] <warren94> headkase314: i have done that it does the same thing
[03:10] <phobiac> fizk_: I was just trying to find a confirming source but I think that's what it is
[03:11] <phobiac> fizk_: unless things are running weird, it's fine
[03:11] <headkase314> warren94: ok, someone is going to have to get you to run the "lspci" command and be able to interpret it for you.  That person is not me ;) My knowledge goes as far as "is it in Hardware Drivers?" ;)
[03:11] <RandyRKelly> How long does ubuntu usually take to boot?
[03:12] <fizk_> phobiac, nice, thanks
[03:12] <tik> uhm from the time you hit the power button about 30 seconds
[03:12] <phobiac> warren94: what do you need? I can maybe help but didn't follow what was said
[03:12] <Dr_Willis> RandyRKelly:  on my laptop.. perhaps 30 sec..
[03:12] <phobiac> RandyRKelly: depends on the machine
[03:12] <fizk_> by the way, Ubuntu's installer doesn't cope well with VGA and DVI plugged in at the same time
[03:12] <warren94> headkase314: ok, im new to this how do i do that?
[03:12] <phobiac> but yeah, usually around 30 seconds
[03:12] <fizk_> I had to use a single VGA
[03:12] <phobiac> warren94: do you need to find out what card you have?
[03:13] <RandyRKelly> Mine took a few min
[03:13] <warren94> phobiac: i need to set up my wifi i dont know what to do
[03:13] <spooky> fizk_: 10.04 installed fine with 2 monitors, VGA/DVI for me...with an NVIDIA 7600GS card
[03:13] <phobiac> fizk_: the installer has REALLY basic drivers for legal reasons
[03:13] <spooky> d
[03:13] <profxavier> ugh
[03:14] <profxavier> phobiac, thanks O_o
[03:14] <Dr_Willis> VGA+DVI here. nvidia. Installer worked. it just dident get everything 100% untill i installed the nvidia druvers however.
[03:14] <phobiac> warren94: did you just install ubuntu?
[03:14] <tik> 'question: do you I change my res on boot... itsooting at 640x and I want it to boot at 1280 or 1024 like the livecd
[03:14] <phobiac> profxavier: did that get it working?
[03:14] <warren94> phobiac: yes i did
[03:14] <Dr_Willis> fizk_:  you perhaps would be more acureate to say the 'live cd' has  some problamtic drivers :)  Not the installer itself.
[03:14] <profxavier> wow, I think I know what I did
[03:14] <RandyRKelly> After it boots this is what happens,  it just basically freezes. I can't use mouse nor keyboard.  I have a alienware area 51m. Has XP and Ubuntu.  Want let me do nothing
[03:14] <Dr_Willis> tik:  and your video card is ?
[03:15] <profxavier> do I have to use the -X flag in connecting ?
[03:15] <UberN00b> hey  ... again :D , I cant open a web page in ...ermm normal view ?  i get it in text-only version, and that is for this specific web page only. is this because of firefox ?
[03:15] <RandyRKelly> Any thoughts ^^^^^
[03:15] <Q_Continuum> 10.04-64, ATI HD3200/HD5770 - blank screen on bootup, both from upgrade from 9.10 and attempting fresh install of 10.04 - any workarounds?
[03:15] <fizk_> Dr_Willis, not the live cd, the software that runs the installer
[03:15] <phobiac> warren94: is the wireless card internal or a USB one you plug in?
[03:15] <headkase314> tik: If you installed proprietary drivers that seems to make Plymouth (the splash screen on booting) render in a very low-res mode.  Not much can be done about it.
[03:15]  * profxavier waits for the obvious of course
[03:15] <phobiac> profxavier: Woo!
[03:15] <phobiac> profxavier: uhh, what's the -X flag?
[03:15] <warren94> phobiac: it is internal
[03:15] <profxavier> enable Xforwarding
[03:15] <fizk_> Dr_Willis, not a big deal, just wanted to point it out
[03:16] <tik> headkase314: yah thats what I notced no biggy
[03:16] <Dr_Willis> fizk_:  never saw the installer progarm have any issues with my 2 monitor setup.   whats the issue its having exactly?
[03:16] <tik> ts ust ugly
[03:16] <tik> its just ugly
[03:16] <Dr_Willis> fizk_:  file a bug report.
[03:16] <phobiac> profxavier: Probably not, try it without it first
[03:16] <tik> headkase314: thanks
[03:16] <phobiac> profxavier: that's a flag for a server
[03:16] <tik> headkase314: in Linux Mint you can change it
[03:16] <headkase314> tik: You're welcome, know I have it too ;)
[03:16] <Dr_Willis> You can change plymouth the same way then proberly tik .
[03:16] <FabParma> By mistake I deleted an authentications APT key, now I get this error: "NO_PUBKEY 6E871C4A881574DE" all log http://paste.ubuntu.com/471686/ it is the "lucid Release" one
[03:16] <phobiac> warren94: are you on the computer in question and/or is it connected to the internet by wire right now?
[03:16] <RandyRKelly> Did anyone see my above post
[03:16] <Dr_Willis> tik:  i 'fix' plymouth by removing plymouth. :)
[03:17] <fizk_> Dr_Willis,  it would display the purple  background image, and that's it
[03:17] <phobiac> FabParma: try running sudo apt-key update
[03:17] <profxavier> fook
[03:17] <profxavier> phobiac, this is impossible
[03:17] <profxavier> too many variables
[03:17] <FabParma> I tried to change mirror, bu t nothing
[03:17] <warren94> phobiac: i am on the computer and i am conecter via wire
[03:17] <phobiac> profxavier: that's what made me give up
[03:18] <FabParma> phobiac: ok, i try right now
[03:18] <headkase314> Dr_Willis: what is boot like without Plymouth?  I long for the old days of non-quiet books when lots of text just scrolls by - upstart doesn't make a lot of text nowadays when you unmute the boot..
[03:18] <phobiac> warren94: would you be okay with opening a terminal to make it easier for me to to diagnostics?
[03:18] <headkase314> *boots
[03:18] <RandyRKelly> Ok noone can help
[03:18] <phobiac> RandyRKelly: does ubuntu actually boot?
[03:18] <fizk_> I think grub 2 is kick ass now
[03:18] <Dr_Willis> headkase314:  lots-o-text - just like the old times..   Not sure what happens if theres a fsck needed.. or any other input needed.
[03:18] <profxavier> phobiac, I don't blame you
[03:18] <warren94> phobiac: ya, what do you whant me to do?
[03:19] <headkase314> Dr_Willis: Now I think I may just uninstall Plymouth, anything I should know before doing so?
[03:19] <fizk_> created a Windows 7 entry automatically....and surprise surprise, it worked! :)
[03:19] <RandyRKelly> It boots and that's it
[03:19] <Dr_Willis> headkase314:  let me find my notes...
[03:19] <headkase314> Dr_Willis: Heheh.
[03:20] <disappearedng> typing is slow on sony. if I type too fast, it will skip words. Anyone here have any ideas where I can configure this?
[03:20] <phobiac> warren94: do you happen to know the card off the top of your head?
[03:20] <phobiac> if it is atheros or what not
[03:20] <RandyRKelly> Phobi
[03:20] <phobiac> RandyRKelly: What do you mean? Does it look weird after booting?
[03:21] <phobiac> profxavier: the Xming website has a surprising amount of usefull info
[03:21] <RandyRKelly> No it boots then I log in and I touch the mouse pad and then freeze phobiac
[03:21] <FabParma> phobiac: the problem persists. the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/471688/
[03:22] <phobiac> RandyRKelly: hmm, that's really odd. I don't think I can help based on the limited info. :( Try googling your computer model with the word ubuntu
[03:22] <warren94> phobiac: the box my laptop came with sais "wlan: acer nplift (tm) 802.11 g/b/n" is that it?
[03:22] <RandyRKelly> Ok
[03:23] <phobiac> warren94: that is exactly it
[03:23] <headkase314> Dr_Willis: -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1451592 Removing Plymouth is not recommended, however there are ways to push it into the background! ;)
[03:23] <warren94> phobiac: ok so now what? :)
[03:23] <Dr_Willis> headkase314:  how i did it -> not really seen any issues..  ive had MUCH more issues with it.. ---->>>  http://paste.ubuntu.com/471689/
[03:24] <phobiac> warren94: run lspci | grep -i acer
[03:24] <profxavier> phobiac, its like a needle in a haystack to find anything useful
[03:24] <phobiac> warren94: put the output in pastebin.com for me
[03:24] <viyyer> Hi all , I seemed to have disabled my wireless. any thing I can do to reenable it ?
[03:24] <albech> Has anyone tried to install Ubuntu 64 on a Dell Inspiron Zino HD?
[03:24] <Dr_Willis> headkase314:  part of my issues were with the framebuffer console also.
[03:24] <Dr_Willis> albech:  thats some sort of USB hard d4rive?
[03:24] <warren94> phobic: im sorry but what. im new to all of this'
[03:24] <phobiac> FabParma: hold on, looking something up
[03:24] <phobiac> warren94: it's okay
[03:25] <albech> Dr_Willis, http://www.dell.com/us/en/home/desktops/inspiron-zino-hd/pd.aspx?refid=inspiron-zino-hd&s=dhs&cs=19
[03:25] <phobiac> warren94: did something not make sense?
[03:25] <phobiac> profxavier: I know :(
[03:25] <ridin> how much memory is nautilus supposed to use?
[03:25] <phobiac> FabParma: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1653773 read that thread
[03:25] <albech> Dr_Willis, i agree it sound more like a external harddisk that a real system judging by the name ;)
[03:25] <warren94> phobic: hold on i think i got it
[03:25] <headkase314> Dr_Willis: Ok after reading about the perils of Plymouth removal I've wisely decided to leave it alone!  Thank you however for helping me reach that decision! ;)
[03:26] <phobiac> ridin: not much unless you're doing something big such as viewing a bunch of thumbnails
[03:26] <Dr_Willis> headkase314:  i dident really see any perils mentioned in the forum thread you gave...
[03:27] <warren94> phobic: ok i did the lspci.... but output?
[03:28] <viyyer> The thing is I can see the wireless networks on my network manager applet disabled (kida grayed out)
[03:28] <headkase314> Dr_Willis: If you try to uninstall the main Plymouth package it removes essential core components as well.  The workaround is to just remove the optional Plymouth stuff.  However, I boot once a day and usually I'm away making coffee for the 30 seconds.  So, I'd be best to just leave it as is ;)
[03:28] <Dr_Willis> headkase314:  theres also the 'text' option at boot time to the kernel that prevents gdm from starting, and plymouth, and i think the framebuffer.. but its a little overkill for most people
[03:28] <phobiac> warren94: the command should have given you some result with a bit of text that said acer in it
[03:28] <phobiac> warren94: possibly not
[03:29] <Dr_Willis> headkase314:  i had issues with plymouth and the framebuffer stuff basically killing off my consoles.. so it was more then just an eyecandy issue here.
[03:29] <warren94> phobiac: it did not it just gave me a new command
[03:29] <headkase314> Dr_Willis: I'm still too n00b to be going there - yet!
[03:29] <Dr_Willis> headkase314:  looking at what i did. it basically removes the plymouth themes..  dosent really remnove plymouth
[03:30] <Q_Continuum> Blank screen on bootup, 10.04-x64, ATI Radeon HD3200/HD5770 - Straight off the installer and from an upgrade from 9.10 (where it worked fine) - any ideas?
[03:30] <phobiac> warren94: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1378485 see if what they suggest doing works
[03:30] <ridin> okay phobiac, because usually it uses up 323mb which i thought was pretty weird
[03:30] <Dr_Willis> headkase314:  when i got 5+ weeks uptime. :) its not a big issue abouyt eyecandy.. but the way it messed my consoles were a big annoyance.
[03:30] <phobiac> ridin: that is a lot. is that even if you have nothing open?
[03:30] <radar3d> what is a good video converter for ubuntu?  Like to convert mkv and m4v into AVI files.  In windows I used winavi?? Any help?
[03:30] <phobiac> ridin: I mean, no filebrowser open
[03:30] <ridin> phobiac: yes
[03:30] <warren94> phobiac: ok i will
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> radar3d:  ffmpeg, mencoder, and front endsd to those tools (like winff)
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> radar3d:  its all about the codecs. 'to avi' means very little..
[03:31] <radar3d> will it run in ubuntu?  Have a link?
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> They are in the repos.. of course they run on ubuntu.. and ported to windows also.
[03:31] <MaRk-I> Q_Continuum: for ati not sure I think it's the "xforcevesa" mode check this http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/
[03:31] <bazhang> radar3d, handbrake
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> radar3d:  its very likely your winavi tool was using ffmpeg or mencoder
[03:32] <phobiac> ridin: that isn't a normal amount. does it use this all the time?
[03:32] <Dr_Willis> Handbreak is handy. :) but not in the repos.. I also found it harder to use.
[03:32] <warren94> phobiac: im running ubuntu 10.04 does that matter/?
[03:32] <ridin> phobiac: yes most of the time even though i have nothing opened
[03:32] <radar3d> ok but I need one for ubuntu do I have to use WINE?
[03:32]  * Dr_Willis had issues with Handbrake breaking.. :)
[03:32] <Dr_Willis> radar3d:  err.. the tools we mentioned are avail for windows AND for linux...
[03:33] <radar3d> aye lemme check it out
[03:33] <bazhang> radar3d, not really no
[03:33] <Dr_Willis> radar3d:  many of them were for linux first :) then ported to windows
[03:33] <phobiac> warren94: if you follow the 9.10 instructions it should be fine
[03:33] <bazhang> ffmpeg and winff or handbrake radar3d
[03:33] <Dr_Willis> radar3d:  learning about video codecs and how ffmpeg and mencoder work.. is time well spent if you really want to learn about 'videos'
[03:33] <bazhang> err mencoder
[03:33] <phobiac> ridin: I'm not sure what to do to help. If you google around about nautilus memory usage you might find something.
[03:33] <Q_Continuum> MaRk-I, yeah tried all that - still nothin.  Here's my list of things I've tried: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9631496
[03:34] <ridin> phobiac, i want to use a different file manager, pcmanfm
[03:34] <UberN00b> hey  ... again :D , I cant open a web page in ...ermm normal view ?  i get it in text-only version, and that is for this specific web page only. is this because of firefox ?
[03:34] <radar3d> I have to make them into avi's in order for my DVD player to recognize them from my video server
[03:34] <bazhang> radar3d, then try devede
[03:34] <phobiac> warren94: I have to go, but I don't want to leave you high and dry. If that thread doesn't work try googling the wireless card name with the word ubuntu and see if you can find some solutions
[03:34] <Dr_Willis> radar3d:  you have to make them into 'avi's with the proper 'codec'   If your player can play video files...
[03:34] <phobiac> ridin: if you google for replacing nautilus in ubuntu I know there are guides
[03:35] <phobiac> basically everyone here with a problem, google it! it's all we're doing (for the most part)
[03:35] <Dr_Willis> radar3d:  You can create a 'dvd'  from video files with devede.
[03:35] <FabParma> phobiac: Thank you very much. i searched on net long time before to ask here, but i haven't found nothing resolutive. your link has fixed everything. thanks again
[03:35] <radar3d> yes video player can play video files
[03:35] <warren94> phobiac: ok thank you 4 what you have done
[03:35] <phobiac> anyway, I gotta go.
[03:35] <phobiac> FabParma: good to hear!
[03:35] <phobiac> warren94: I hate wireless issues. I'm sorry you're having them. :( I used to have that problem with some old broadcom cards.
[03:35] <Dr_Willis> radar3d:  examine a file it can play. and determine what res/codecs it can handle..  or check its docs/manual very closely.
[03:35] <phobiac> warren94: good luck
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> radar3d:  also practice converting some short videos first. :)
[03:36] <ridin> phobiac, i found one but it's for an older version of ubuntu, will it still work?
[03:37] <ibrokegrub> welp, lesson learned, do no break grub2 on a system using ext4 and ahci, unless you backup grub.cfg
[03:37] <MaRk-I> Q_Continuum: those cards let you switch ports?
[03:37] <radar3d> Dr_Willis, how do I examin a file to determine codec?
[03:37] <radar3d> I think Divx will work
[03:37] <MaRk-I> Q_Continuum: I mean by this:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9361177&postcount=2
[03:37] <Dr_Willis> ibrokegrub:  neat 'trick' i learned.. do a normal install to a flash drive and plug it in/boot  then run 'udate-grub' on it.. it can see and add an entry for the other os's you may have broken. :)
[03:38] <Dr_Willis> radar3d:  divx and xvid are basically the same thing. :)  (well from a codec sort of point of view)
[03:38] <Q_Continuum> MaRk-I, I've got something plugged into every available port, so no.
[03:38] <bastid_raZor> radar3d: in a terminal: file filename.avi :the file command will sort it for you.
[03:38] <nwmatt> when i insert a blank cd, it shows up as blank cd.  When I copy files into it and hit burn, iso is the only option.  where should i start debugging.  have replaced the burner but that didnt help
[03:38] <MaRk-I> Q_Continuum: oic
[03:38] <neil_d> can anyone tell me if ubuntu will work on a HP Compaq 620s Laptop,  I can't find any website saying yes or no.
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> radar3d:  theres the ffprobe command, or play the video in a player like vlc and check its properties/details as to what codeds its using also
[03:39] <ibrokegrub> Dr_Willis,  i didnt have a flashdrive large enough handy unfortunately.  my mp4 player doesnt reliably go into mass storage mode prior to OS
[03:39] <Q_Continuum> MaRk-I, I haven't done much digging yet, but haven't found any launchpad issues on this.  (Just on Intel/nVidia ones - which have workarounds, I haven't found any that work for ATI yet)
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> ibrokegrub:  bummer. :() Ive gotten where each pc i make i keep a 'rescue' flash drive  tied to it.
[03:40] <MaRk-I> Q_Continuum: found this, http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
[03:40] <Q_Continuum> MaRk-I, if you do find anything I'd be greatful.  (Any leads at all) Otherwise that box stays as gaming rig/Windows 7 only :-(
[03:41] <Q_Continuum> MaRk-I, reading - seems interesting
[03:41] <MaRk-I> Q_Continuum: good luck
[03:42] <ibrokegrub> Dr_Willis, yea kind of sucked, i managed to at least do a minimal boot in grub console, mount my hdd chroot the filesystem but i couldnt update or install grub, probe kept coming back saying it couldnt find / and couldnt stat drive. and i didnt know what module to look for to try to make it do ext4
[03:43] <ibrokegrub> Dr_Willis, luckily ive lost nothing, everything is in /home/me and any changes i did to the system are copied in scripts in /home/me as well
[03:45] <ibrokegrub> Sad thing is i know exactly where i typoed while editing /etc/default/grub.  One fat thumb can be fatal LOL
[03:46] <Dr_Willis> ibrokegrub:  make a cuistome grub entry that boots an iso file for a 'super-emergancy backup boot  thing' :)
[03:47] <RandyRKelly> Here r some people having the same issue http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1527147
[03:47] <ibrokegrub> Dr_Willis, well, for how i broke it that wouldnt have helped unfortunately, i basicly told it not to look for any bootable OS's, and so it booted and just gave you grub $_  prompt
[03:48] <st33l> hello ther
[03:48] <ibrokegrub> Reinstall is finished let us pray hehe. back later
[03:48] <st33l> need some help with networking in ubuntu
[03:48] <st33l> just installed it yesterday
[03:49] <radar3d> how do you change to a directory who's name has a space in it?
[03:49] <st33l> after labouring some hours getting the sis vga
[03:49] <st33l> now only google is loading for me in net
[03:49] <st33l> how do i proceed?
[03:49] <Mr_Sonoma> radar3d, use tab completion or use \ to escape the space
[03:50] <Dr_Willis> st33l:  Every time i hear the  words 'sis' used  I cringe in fear. :)   You are saying that in your browser ONLY the page google.com loads?
[03:50] <skumara> ubuntu lucid is already up and running ok. but hardware drivers show nvidia not activated yet. do i have to activate it? is it required in already running system?
[03:50] <Dr_Willis> radar3d:  cd 'program files'   is another way
[03:50] <st33l> no no
[03:50] <st33l> im now in a windows system
[03:50] <st33l> im dual booting it..
[03:51] <radar3d> Awesome tab completion!!!
[03:51] <st33l> as a matter of fact the card is also sis based :(
[03:51] <st33l> so how do i proceed
[03:52] <st33l> i tried connecting via pppoe too
[03:52] <st33l> no change !
[03:52] <st33l> i had similar problem in sabayon..usin network maanger..
[03:53] <st33l> but whn i changed to pppoe the problem disappeared
[03:54] <Dr_Willis> ive never used pppoe. so cant really help debuggint that.
[03:54] <shiv> minitube showing videos in different hue...any suggestions?
[03:54] <Dr_Willis> !pppoe
[03:54] <pawan> hi
[03:54] <st33l> yes yes i know all that
[03:54] <st33l> i have setup pppoe perfectly
[03:55] <ZykoticK9> shiv, are you using proprietary nvidia driver?
[03:55] <st33l> tried nm..
[03:55] <shiv> ZykoticK9, yes I am
[03:56] <shiv> ZykoticK9, I tried without compiz enabled. Still same resutts
[03:56] <st33l> hmm
[03:58] <ZykoticK9> shiv, i "had" the same issue for so long, it had to do with the xv video output used by gstreamer apps - but it's not happening right now ;)
[03:58] <ZykoticK9> shiv, you might also want to see if this applies/helps.  http://www.wiredrevolution.com/ubuntu/fix-blue-tinted-video-in-ubuntu
[03:58] <shiv> ZykoticK9, thanks will look into it
[04:00] <st33l> hello..

[04:00] <pawan> hi
[04:01] <pawan> how to disable shutdown window in ubuntu
[04:01] <Dr_Willis> st33l:  some how i think youve not actually stated wht the actual problem is.. from what i gather its 'setting up PPPOE  and somthing is not working'   :)
[04:01] <st33l> haha doc
[04:02] <shiv> ZykoticK9, I think I need to restart to see if it worked. I need to go to sleep. Will report back later. G'night :)

[04:08] <Dr_Willis> pawan:  you could always do a 'sudo halt' or 'sudo shutdown' or 'sudo reboot' those wont nag you.
[04:08] <mike1>  Setting up a server/transparent proxy/web filter.  Can't get the relationship Modem-> Server ->Router ->  Network  working.   I think the PPPOE on the router is a major problem.  Can't get it to work from server.  Should I have PPPOE left on modem serving an address to server and server serving on ita 2nd NIC?  The modem only assigns 1 address.
[04:08] <pawan> ok
[04:08] <rlankfo> mike1: chances are you need to put your modem in bridge mode
[04:08] <modulexploited> I am not able to install any application...
[04:08] <modulexploited> http://pastebin.com/uptM56RT
[04:09] <bazhang> !repeat | modulexploited
[04:09] <mike1> rlankfo: not sure if that works with provider.  I've always needed to enter pppoe on the router to gain access
[04:10] <modulexploited> okay
[04:13] <duiu> Anyone know where I can download 64 bit postscript drivers to serve to windows pc's using samba + cups?
[04:13] <duiu> Or where I could find them on a windows pc, sorry for the split post
[04:14] <bazhang> duiu, tried in ##windows ?
[04:14] <duiu> bazhang: no, I'll check
[04:15] <randy_> mike1: why don't you run NAT with port forwarding?
[04:16] <thune3> modulexploited: it appears the -f is trying to install virtuoso-opensource-6.0-common, while you already have virtuoso-opensource-6.1-common installed. I don't know what these packages are. can you uninstall virtuoso-opensource-6.1-common?
[04:16] <rlankfo> mike1: exactly, to have the IP on the router the modem needs to be in bridge mode
[04:16] <rlankfo> mike1: and then the router is assigned an IP via PPoE
[04:16] <rlankfo> PPPoE*
[04:17] <rlankfo> mike1: however it won't work unless the modem is bridged
[04:18] <mintman> Hey everybody- question for you- I know there is an im client that will support aim,msn, yahoo... but I found one that supported myspace and facebook im as well.... Anybody know what this one is called? I have forgotten.... :(
[04:18] <randy_> mike1: ah, yes, this has also been my experience with DSL modems.  if they don't do port forwarding, its your only option (bridging).  don't expect, though, to get any support from your ISP.  they are retards and don't know how to help you
[04:18] <modulexploited> thune3: I am not able to uninstall either... an error message pops us saying "You have 1 broken package on your system!  Use the "Broken" filter to locate it." I tried to reinstall that.. and the same errors comes up asking me to runf apt-get -f install
[04:19] <bazhang> mintman, pidgin?
[04:19] <buu> Hello friends
[04:21] <buu> I just plugged in a usb drive to a box running ubuntu. It seems to have automounted it. Any idea where it might be?
[04:21] <mostolof|2> buu: on  the fs? under /media
[04:22] <d9500> buu, probably mounted at /media/disk
[04:22] <buu> mostolof|2: Very smart
[04:22] <mintman> Pidgin does not support facebook? Perhaps I have an old version of it?
[04:22] <buu> Thaknks
[04:22] <bazhang> mintman, with the plugin?
[04:22] <a94060> hello everyone,how do i configure global hotkeys for parole in xfce?
[04:23] <a94060> mintman: i know for sure it does, you just need to get the new version of the plugin
[04:23] <bazhang>  pidgin-facebookchat mintman ?
[04:23] <thune3> modulexploited: i could be dangerousely wrong, but the -f part of apt-get manpage suggests using dpkg --remove on possibly offending packages. I personally (maybe wrongly) would run "dpkg --remove virtuoso-opensource-6.1-common" then try -f again.
[04:24] <xangua> mintman: facebook supports xmpp protocol, you can see how to configure it in 'planet pidgin'
[04:24] <mintman> ok cool--- Thanks--- sorry for the newbie question- I just got my system up and running a couple days ago--- I love it so far...!!!!
[04:24] <bazhang> mintman, welcome
[04:25] <warren94> i need help setting up wifi with a acer nplify 802.11b/g/n wifi card setup i can not connect to the internet through it and i would like to
[04:25] <modulexploited> thune3: i am struck with this for 2 hrs now... i'll give it a try...
[04:25] <ornia> Ubuntu from a live USB drive is detecting my ATI HDMI audio port as the primary sound card... how can I make it detect my PCI Sound blaster as primary?
[04:25] <st33l> ok im back
[04:25] <Dr_Willis> Ive often jhad to just 'remove' prolem packages and let them get reinstalled
[04:26] <st33l> how do i renable network manager
[04:26] <st33l> and disable pppoe!
[04:27] <FabParma> how to suggest to the developers  new packages to be included into the repository and how to advise when packages in the repositoy ar obsolete?
[04:28] <st33l> sigh
[04:28] <st33l> ?pppoe
[04:28] <SpyderBite> email the owner of the repository... email is supposed to be on the repository page or in a readme before they can make the ppa: live
[04:29] <SpyderBite> Do the opposite of what you did to get it that way, st33l ?
[04:29] <Dr_Willis> st33l:  are you actually connected to the internet via dsl/adsl? or are you just rrying things at random in the hopes that things work?
[04:30] <st33l> i have adsl
[04:30] <st33l> huwaei mt882
[04:30] <st33l> bridge mode
[04:30] <st33l> it might be a problem with mtu or ipv6
[04:30] <st33l> i need to check
[04:30] <st33l> im googling ..
[04:31] <st33l> man the last place i expected to run into this troubel was ubuntu
[04:31] <warren94> wifi not working. i need help
[04:31] <Dr_Willis> Im still not clear on what teh thing is doing/not doing other then 'networking isent working'
[04:32] <st33l> what info u want?
[04:32] <st33l> here is my problem.
[04:32] <st33l> i setup dsl from network manager
[04:32] <st33l> it connects
[04:32] <st33l> i start firefox
[04:32] <st33l> except google
[04:32] <st33l> nothing loads
[04:33] <st33l> its stuck at waiting for the website to load..and times out
[04:33] <SpyderBite> proxy/firewall installed recently, st33l ?
[04:33] <st33l> this is a fresh install of ubuntu!!!!
[04:34] <Dr_Willis> st33l:  how about an URL like --> http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[04:34] <warren94> someone help me plz
[04:34] <tik> ?
[04:34] <SpyderBite> Try i Mozilla "File, Work Online" or does it is the only otion Work Offline there, st33l ?
[04:34] <Dr_Willis> heh - the site i picked seems to be down..
[04:35] <st33l> yeah
[04:35] <st33l> i was goin to tell u that
[04:35] <st33l> hey spyder
[04:35] <st33l> im not using linux for the first time!!!
[04:35] <dewman> Dr_Willis, Sorry your address is not working...Please correct so we can view what you have to offer to the world.... =P
[04:35] <Dr_Willis> dewman:  I just pinged a web suite and got the ip#. but it seems the site doswnt work that way
[04:35] <AndIrc_> need ubuntu on my evo 4g...
[04:36] <Dr_Willis> wich is weird...
[04:36] <rockets> Is it possible to make the gnome keyring passwordless? I'm running ubuntu netbook edition, which by default does passwordless autologin. But then it prompts you for the keyring password every time you log in, which totally defeats the purpose.
[04:36] <SpyderBite> Wasn't questioning your aptitiude, st33l. Some programs switch that off without you knowing while being confgured and don't turn it back on.
[04:36] <st33l> btw i was able to ping google.com
[04:36] <nomnex> clean install 10.04, where is the option SWAP as mount point? I don't see it?
[04:36] <st33l> yeah i checked that
[04:36] <st33l> rember i told u google was loading
[04:36] <Dr_Willis> rockets:  you can set it to use an empty password.. yes..
[04:36] <rockets> Dr_Willis, how?
[04:36] <nomnex> Create partition, I want to create a swap partition, thanks
[04:36] <st33l> and search etc etc
[04:36] <rockets> Dr_Willis, I don't see an app to manage the keyring.
[04:37] <nomnex> oh, I found, sorry about it...
[04:37] <Dr_Willis> rockets:  apps -> accessories -> passwords. rigjht click on the entries in the bottom area
[04:37] <Dr_Willis> rockets:  its a common faq on the forums. :) i evem made a video how to change it at --> http://drop.io/dr_willis
[04:37] <st33l> let me try some more stuff..
[04:37] <st33l> be bk..
[04:38] <rockets> Dr_Willis, thanks!
[04:38] <Dr_Willis> st33l:  what if you ping cnn.com what ip does it give? try http://thatip
[04:38] <hello> hello
[04:38] <modulexploited> thune3: Thank you ! that helped
[04:38] <luig1> The automatic fsck at startup found errors and I hit f to fix them. What now? It just says that "The disk drive for /tmp is not yet readt or not present."
[04:38] <SpyderBite> let us know if you figure it out st33l. Be interested in knowing what it was in case somebody else has the same problem.. I try to note these things for future referecne
[04:39] <st33l> i could ping in.yahoo.com
[04:39] <st33l> though it wasnt loading
[04:39] <st33l> yeah will do..
[04:39] <st33l> off now
[04:39] <warren94> someone help me plz with my wifi
[04:40] <Dr_Willis> warren94:  clariofy what the problem is...
[04:40] <rockets> Dr_Willis, It'd be nice if there was a way to remove the password without the passwords being stored unencrypted.
[04:40] <hello> 1
[04:40] <rockets> hello, hello!
[04:41] <Dr_Willis> rockets:  never noticed.. i always set it to use a blank when it first asks. :)
[04:41] <rockets> Dr_Willis, yeah, it just totally defeats the point of autologin.
[04:41] <Dr_Willis> You want them encrypted.. but accessable with no password...
[04:41] <hello> 有人说中文的吗？
[04:41] <SpyderBite> warren94, without more detail about your problem you may as well be asking the doctor to make you better but the only symptom you give him is "i don't feel good".
[04:41] <rockets> Dr_Willis, my computer is bios password protected. if somebody pulls my drive out, id rather they not be able to just read the file in plain text.
[04:42] <rockets> Dr_Willis, but the chance of a computer thief knowing linux is slim, so whatever.
[04:42] <Dr_Willis> I dont even know what file they are stored in. :)
[04:42] <warren94> spyderbite: the problem is that i can see the network i whant to conect to i just get conect to it via wifi
[04:43] <Docteh_> rockets: do you have a tpm chip?
[04:43] <luig1> Yeah, my files being on an ext3 partition is almost as good as if they were encrypted, that's the way I see it
[04:43] <rockets> Docteh_, no, it's just a shitty netbook. anyway I don't want whole-drive encryption.
[04:45] <rockets> I'm thinking about a new laptop, but I haven't decided what to get yet. Haven't decided what model of thinkpad to get, that is to say.
[04:45] <luig1> Speaking of ext3fs, I totally asked a fsck question up there if anyone feels like helping. Just saying...
[04:45] <rockets> luig1, sudo flux-capacitor --recalibrate
[04:47] <luig1> Rockets: That did the trick. I've got a login screen now.
[04:47] <rockets> luig1, <3
[04:48] <luig1> rockets - And Abiword was bugged before but now it's starting cleanly. You've fixed my desktop! (I'm not being sarcastic either, fsck finished around when you suggested that.)
[04:49] <rockets> luig1, it's all about the flux capacitors.
[04:50] <luig1> Clearly. Well I'm out, peace everyone.
[04:50] <rockets> luig1, Flux capacitors are so powerful that sometimes merely mentioning recalibrating one in passing will fix everything.
[04:50] <warren94> Dr_Willis: are you still able to help me?
[04:51] <Nilos> Can anyone help me set a cronjob to run at startup.
[04:52] <hello> same questions
[04:52] <tensorpudding> my dns seems to handle the us.archive.ubuntu.com domain really badly, I think every other time I do an aptitude update it gives an error on resolving that host
[04:52] <MaRk-I> tensorpudding: try openDNS or google dns
[04:53] <aTecHNeaTo_> hello
[04:54] <hello> what?
[04:57] <warren94> plz someone help me with my wifi. i can see the network i whant to conect to but something wont let me conect to it. i have tryed googleing what to do and i cant find any thing. i also cant find anything in the hardware drivers so if someone can help we i would love it
[04:57] <jasonwryan> Nilos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto
[04:59] <blindsoul6_> .
[04:59] <Dr_Willis> warren94:  if its your network. You could try disableing  the security/passwords and see if you can connect to it then.
[04:59] <chilli0> Hello , I'm having some weird perm errors again. Samba has the umask= 000 . but I can't copy files over......
[05:00] <warren94> Dr_Willis: thank you but i have tryed that
[05:02] <Wolfwalker_Prime> Here's the situation:  My friend has a desktop with a blown graphics card.  I have a laptop with Linux, a crossover ethernet cable and a 2-headed USB cable.  We don't have a spare graphics card and he wants to access some files on his desktop.
[05:02] <Wolfwalker_Prime> Is there a way to access the hard drive from my laptop, either through ethernet crossover or USB?
[05:04] <Dr_Willis> Wolfwalker_Prime:  usb to usb? that would require specuial stuff..
[05:04] <Dr_Willis> Wolfwalker_Prime:  in theory you could boot up a live cd on teh laptop that has a ssh server or somthing you can then access over the network.
[05:04] <Dr_Willis> or on the dead displaymachine i mean. :)
[05:04] <tik> Hi, im missing all the gnome panel information.. how do I reload it?
[05:05] <Dr_Willis> !resetpanel > tik
[05:05] <xangua> killall gnome-panel ¿¿
[05:05] <tik> ok thanks
[05:05] <Wolfwalker_Prime> Hey I might want to know that one sometime...
[05:05] <tik> i dont want to unset anything
[05:05] <tik> so I will killal :)
[05:05] <Wolfwalker_Prime> !resetpanel > Wolfwalker_Prime
[05:06] <tik> thanks that worked
[05:06] <Dr_Willis> Wolfwalker_Prime:  you can do /msg ubottu factoidname   also
[05:08] <st33l> back
[05:08] <st33l> nothing works
[05:08] <st33l> damn
[05:09] <genoskill> my Desktop resolution is 1366x768 but my Login screen resolution is like 800x600. my login screen looks so ugly. how can i fix that
[05:09] <Mr_Sonoma> see thats the problem with sending the factoids through priv. if people are watching and following but not saying anything they miss some key stuff.
[05:09] <Dr_Willis> genoskill:  you could try the following --> sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties
[05:09] <Wolfwalker_Prime> Here's something I googled up, but it's for mac.  I want to know how to do it for PC:
[05:10] <Wolfwalker_Prime> 1) connect the nonworking computer to another mac with a firewire cable
[05:10] <Wolfwalker_Prime> 2) turn the nonworking computer and hold down T – will let you access it as if it is an external hard drive
[05:10] <fridgerator> so back in the day i used to be able to hit alt+shift f1 or whatever function button and it would let me out of xwindows to a terminal screen...  ubuntu with gnome doesnt do this, how come?
[05:10] <Dr_Willis> genoskill:  that runs the gnome settings stuff as the gdm user. so you can tweak the gdm login screen .  But im not wure if that lets you set teh screen res
[05:10] <d9500> fridgerator, you sure that wasn't ctrl alt f1?
[05:10] <Dr_Willis> Wolfwalker_Prime:  basically you dont. :) thats a special feature in teh mac's bios (well they call it somthing else)
[05:10] <roberto_> hola
[05:10] <Hackey> Can anyone help with ether(0)
[05:10] <roberto_> como estan
[05:11] <chilli0> Hello , I'm having some weird perm errors again. Samba has the umask= 000 . but I can't copy files over...... And the samba mask is set to 777
[05:11] <d9500> fridgerator, b/c ubuntu still does that.
[05:11] <genoskill> Dr_Willis: It didnt work :(
[05:11] <bareego> on PC you'd still be stuck with taking the hdd out and connecting it internally
[05:11] <genoskill> Dr_Willis: i mean there are no option for change resolution
[05:12] <Mr_Sonoma> !es : roberto_
[05:12] <Dr_Willis> genoskill:  perhaps run the tool that lets you change teh res as  the 'gdm' user.
[05:12] <Mr_Sonoma> !es | roberto_
[05:12] <indrora_> I'm on 10.04 LTS and my wireless keeps dropping, randomly it seems.
[05:12] <st33l> i would rather have ma breakfast
[05:12] <st33l> :(
[05:12] <indrora_> I'm using b43 drivers on a Linksys WPC54G card
[05:13] <st33l> catch u all later
[05:13] <genoskill> Dr_Willis: how?
[05:15] <fridgerator> d9500 you're a genius, haha
[05:15] <fridgerator> i feel sheepish now
[05:15] <Dr_Willis> genoskill:  you could try the following --> sudo -u gdm 'whateverprogramsetstheres'
[05:15] <Dr_Willis> genoskill:  perhaps. My res is set by the nvidia drivers/tools so its not the same issue.
[05:16] <d9500> fridgerator, no big deal. i've done the same kinda thing.."now what was that shortcut again?"
[05:16] <genoskill> Dr_Willis: my notebook drivers cant do that
[05:23] <SubCool> hey- could someone help me. Im so lost with this VNC. I have just followed a very ncie walk through on how to setup my vnc, and i still can not log in.
[05:23] <SubCool> I use to be able to when i first got it setup, now i cant.
[05:23] <KB1JWQ> SubCool: Is the server listening? Is there a firewall blocking it?  Is the process bound to the proper port in netstat?
[05:23] <SubCool> I have tried soo many vnc's. are there any that just work?
[05:23] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:  what vnc server are you using?
[05:23] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:  ive had very few issues with them :)
[05:23] <SubCool> KB1JWQ, the server is listen, supposed.
[05:24] <SubCool> Dr_Willis, I've tried a few at this point.
[05:24] <SubCool> Im on TightVNC i think?
[05:24] <SubCool> there are sooo many differnet parts involved now- its hard to say. I followed tightvnc instrucitons, abut all i see is the normal vnc stuff. I just cant stand KRDC
[05:25] <wiesshund> Is there any way to have a normal HD boot resemble the live cd's boot? graphically i mean, full screen splash, very concise coloured minimal boot text. Ive got the splash screen at the menu but it goes away after picking an OS and then of course the screen spews out tons of text about everything its doing.
[05:25] <KB1JWQ> SubCool: So you've got a half dozen half-installed VNC servers running?  Good bloody lick.
[05:25] <KB1JWQ> luck*
[05:25] <SubCool> Dr_Willis, i have an Iphone, XP, 10.04 laptop and the 10.04 headless server, I am having issues with ALL of them at this point. The Headless server is bare except these installations, but ill reformat if itll make it work. lol
[05:26] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:  ssh in, run vncserver, run client connect...
[05:26] <SubCool> KB1JWQ, well, i tried my best to uninstall everything.
[05:26] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:   check .vnc logs for errors and so forth...
[05:26] <Blue11> wiesshund: netbook remix maybe?
[05:26] <Blue11> KB1JWQ: DE KA5FVE
[05:27] <wiesshund> Blue11>>  kind of rather not put netbook on a desktop though
[05:27] <SubCool> Dr_Willis, running vncserver created a second instance. where do i run client connect, on the server?
[05:27] <Blue11> wiesshund: yeah it works great on a netbook, but you have to learn to adapt a few things. -
[05:27] <Mr_Sonoma> Blue11, more than a few hams here i believe. 73
[05:28] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:   every time you run vncserver it makes a new instance.. yes.. thats how vncserver works..
[05:28] <wiesshund> Blue11>>  1st id have to go and remove ume etc
[05:28] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:  you run the vncclient on the pc you want to 'see' the desktop on.
[05:28] <Blue11> Mr_Sonoma: kewl
[05:28] <SubCool> Dr_Willis, ya, i get that. But, that means there was already an instance of it running- but whenever i try to connect, it says server not found.
[05:28] <SubCool> just making sure i wasnt testing something- idk
[05:28] <Blue11> wiesshund: I don't find the boot process particularly harsh unless you have an older machine
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> vncclient server.ip.num.ber:2  (or whatever port# its using)
[05:29] <alexander_> it says that python is installed but it's not listed under programming. how would I go about running it?
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> alexander_:  python dosent have a 'gui' spefifically.
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> alexander_:  open teminal type  'python'
[05:30] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:  you can make a vncserver instace close with 'vncserver --kill :#' (where # is a nuimber)
[05:30] <SubCool> Dr_Willis, any particular client u use?
[05:30] <SubCool> and where is the log? .vnc?
[05:30] <alexander_> gotcha, so would I save a text file with a python program and then run it from this interface?
[05:30] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:  most all should work with all servers
[05:30] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:  yes in .vnc on the server
[05:31] <SubCool> Dr_Willis, but which one do u use
[05:31] <Dr_Willis> alexander_:  you use a text ecitor.. make a script then run it . python foo.py' or make its first line like #!/bin/python and make it executable
[05:31] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:  depends on teh OS. :)
[05:31] <Dr_Willis> alexander_:  you may want to check out some Python tutorials.
[05:31] <wiesshund> Blue11>>  harsh? not sure what you are meaning there. mines a big blog of horribly low rez text thats not very readable anyways, but if i hit control alt F8 there is a nice concise output kind of resembling the liveCD boot, maybe 10 lines total, as opposed to 30 pages
[05:31] <SubCool> To Ubuntu and XP/Win7
[05:32] <Mr_Sonoma> SubCool, i use tightvnc on windows, and remote desktop viewer in GNOME, i forget the one in KDE but there's on there too
[05:32] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:  any vnc client should work.
[05:32] <wiesshund> Blue11>>  just was wondering if there was a way to have it show that over the splash instead, kind of like redhat in Interactive startup mode i guess
[05:32] <winmutt__> hi diddley doo
[05:33] <SubCool> KRDC sucks, Im fine working FROM Windows- its TO windows, i have issues.
[05:33] <SubCool> Dr_Willis, They all should- meanwhile nothign works forme..
[05:33] <winmutt__> i have eth0 configured for static in /etc/network/interfaces yet it keeps coming up with dhclient running
[05:33] <Mr_Sonoma> ok your having problems connecting to the windows machine?
[05:33] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:  Its possible windows has some firewalling going on..
[05:33] <SubCool> wow- interesting error, read this- let me paste it
[05:34] <SubCool> Dr_Willis, check them- windows has some issue that the Ubuntu screen wont refresh.
[05:34] <winmutt__> anyone know why dhclinet would be comin up
[05:34] <Mr_Sonoma> Dr_Willis, i'd agree windows firewall probably getting in way. unless the router firewall (assuming remote location of windows machine) is getting in the way.
[05:35] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:  i find it often best to use as minimal a window manager for your vncsession as possible also. the full 'gnome' desktop can overload the connetion and make it sluggish
[05:35] <nwmatt> when i insert a blank cd, it shows up as blank cd.  When I copy files into it and hit burn, iso is the only option.  where should i start debugging.  have replaced the burner but that didnt help.  any suggestions on where to start debugging?
[05:35] <hanasaki> anyone have a info to offer on a good PCI gigabit 1/2 hieght low profile ethernet card.  maybe with 2 ports?
[05:35] <jgomo3> Hello. I gave an uncle a CD with Ubuntu, now i want to give him a CD with GIMP and Python3 because he don't have Internet. How can i do it?
[05:36] <SubCool> Dr_Willis, Very true, im getting use to SSh and such now. i hate to do it- but, its neccesary. but not everythign i do i will every be able to do via CLI
[05:36] <Docteh_> jgomo3: what cd did you give him?
[05:36] <bastid_raZor> aptoncd | jgomo3
[05:36] <Docteh_> the regular livecd?
[05:36] <jgomo3> Ubuntu 10.10
[05:36] <bastid_raZor> err
[05:36] <Docteh_> !aptoncd
[05:36] <bastid_raZor> !aptoncd
[05:36] <cheosite> hi
[05:37] <jgomo3> Docteh_: yes, the livecd
[05:37] <cheosite> all
[05:37] <Mr_Sonoma> nwmatt, uh did you select a device to burn to? I use k3b for cd burning because for me its more well laid out. (that part is personal pref really)
[05:37] <SubCool> Dr_Willis, http://pastebin.org/437502
[05:37] <Docteh_> jgomo3: easiest might be to boot the livecd in a vm or w/e and then apt-get stuff and use the aptoncd tool
[05:38] <thune3> winmutt__ have you restarted networking and networkmanager (or rebooted), since changing /etc/network/interfaces? can you pastebin your interfaces file.
[05:38] <jgomo3> THank you. I'll try it
[05:38] <slgma> how come mouse themes only work when your cursor is over certain windows?
[05:39] <MengXingHun> 中文？
[05:39] <guampa> sigma: same prob here. using compiz right?
[05:39] <Dr_Willis> slgma:  those windows may of opened/started after you changed the theme. the older ones dident 'see' the change..
[05:39] <jgomo3> it will not work in my current machine because it already has GIM and Python3 installed?
[05:39] <Dr_Willis> slgma:  try logging out/back in..
[05:39] <slgma> been like that for weeks Dr_Willis
[05:39] <slgma> after 10+ restarts
[05:39] <profxavier> trying to get putty/XMing/Ubuntu to work together, in a Windows 7 environment, anyone else have luck with this :D ?
[05:39] <Dr_Willis> slgma:  no idea then on that.  Unless some are kde vs gnome apps.
[05:39] <slgma> nope
[05:39] <Dr_Willis> profxavier:  not with WIn7
[05:40] <Docteh_> jgomo3: I guess you could do that, gives a chance of a package on the cd requiring something not around
[05:40] <profxavier> well, do you mind just trying a thing or two with me ?
[05:40] <Docteh_> actually do the apttocd then fire up livecd in vm and test it out
[05:40] <SubCool> Dr_Willis, i cant figure out how to find those files in aptitutde... is there a base dependency i can install?- for my pastbin file
[05:41] <jgomo3> Docteh_: right. Thankyou, i'll try that. If it don't work, then i'll do it in the livecd in vm given that i'm already there
[05:41] <profxavier> DR_W: if I configure sshd_config to allow X11forwarding, and I connect with putty [configured as well to allow forwarding, using localhost:0, then 'echo $DISPLAY' should give me 0, correct ?
[05:42] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:  the font warnings are not imporntant - the last one seems to be the issue.
[05:42] <Dr_Willis> exec: 5: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: Permission denied
[05:42] <SubCool> oh-
[05:42] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:  set up  Your .vnc/xstartup to run a specific window manager perhaps. Such as icewm.
[05:43] <Docteh_> profxavier: DISPLAY=:0 is like 6000 or somesuch you also need to make sure the X server is listening on TCP
[05:43] <Dr_Willis> profxavier:  with ssh i dont think it would be :0 on putty, it does some of its own forwarding.
[05:43] <cheosite> hi all, I have a question, there is a download manager in linux like IDM in windows?
[05:43] <profxavier> DR_W: which is set in the sshd_config ? correct ?
[05:43] <Docteh_> ssh -X might work around that
[05:43] <Dr_Willis> profxavier:  I tend to just use the xming wizard to start specific apps. after i start one app. Ive noticed i can putty (ssh) to the linux box and then run more gui apps.
[05:44] <Dr_Willis> profxavier:  Not sure. It may be.
[05:44] <Docteh_> cheosite: download manager for what
[05:44] <SubCool> Dr_Willis, not entirely sure how i would do that. just i just add KDE a space after it?
[05:44] <Dr_Willis> ssh i thought had set DISPLAY to be some # other then :0.0 or whatever..  as part of its forwarding
[05:44] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:  try a SIMPLE window manager..
[05:45] <SubCool> Dr_Willis, i dont know the difference.
[05:45] <cheosite> for download some file like video and other..
[05:45] <profxavier> Docteh, where do you use the -X flag ?
[05:45] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:  install 'icewm' and try making the xstartup run that.
[05:45] <SubCool> Dr_Willis, Ok, but do i just add icewm a space after xinitrc?
[05:46] <Docteh_> profxavier: ssh -X somewhere.com, putty should have a X forwarding option
[05:46] <profxavier> Docteh, have you used putty before ? :D
[05:46] <Dr_Willis> you edit the .vnc/xstartup file
[05:46] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:  check the contents oif your 'xstartup' file now.
[05:46] <Docteh_> profxavier: not for X forwarding, just for chatting on irc
[05:47] <profxavier> Docteh, so you have two options, for -possibly- setting your flag
[05:47] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:  you can change the last line --< /etc/X11/Xsession
[05:47] <Dr_Willis> SubCool:  tobe 'exec icewm'
[05:47] <profxavier> when you configure a host, you do user@IP
[05:47] <Docteh_> so you're running an app on a remote server onto your X server on windowsbox?
[05:47] <profxavier> so you dont actually pass the ssh command
[05:47] <Metraa> 1400 people here in one big room... are there smaller rooms on this server?  I don't think I can handle the feed...
[05:48] <profxavier> also, there is, under SSH, enable X11 forwarding [which I normally set]
[05:48] <Dr_Willis> Metraa:  depends on what topics you are interested in
[05:48] <pawan> hi
[05:48] <pawan> hi
[05:48] <Docteh_> profxavier: I'm using trayputty, Connectoin -> SSH -> X11
[05:48] <pawan> how to change to this directory
[05:48] <Mr_Sonoma> !hi | pawan
[05:48] <pawan> ~/.kde4/share/wallpapers/
[05:49] <Docteh_> well in the options for settting up a connection
[05:49] <_NEAToTECH_> pawan: hello
[05:49] <pawan> where are wallpapers stored in kubuntu
[05:49] <Metraa> @ubottu thanks
[05:49] <_NEAToTECH_> hello shubbar
[05:49] <Mr_Sonoma> pawan, open a terminal and type cd ~/.kde4/share/wallpapers/
[05:49] <shell-fu> how do i identify myself with chanserv?
[05:49] <pawan> pawan@pawan-desktop:~$ cd ~/.kde4/share/wallpapers/
[05:49] <pawan> bash: cd: /home/pawan/.kde4/share/wallpapers/: No such file or directory
[05:49] <pawan> pawan@pawan-desktop:~$
[05:50] <jgomo3> i'm using the aptoncd, but the list of packages doesn't show me GIMP neither Python3. The list is a subset of what i see in synaptic. do you now why is happening that?
[05:50] <Mr_Sonoma> hmmmmm
[05:50] <Dr_Willis> pawan:  use the TAB key to properly complete file/dir names perhaps..
[05:50] <SubCool> Dr_Willis, ok< we'll see what happens. Thanks. it is rebooting now.
[05:51] <pawan> no its not working
[05:51] <anika> ciank,k..............
[05:51] <profxavier> Docteh, which is pretty much the same as standard putty
[05:51] <Docteh_> jgomo3: do you have gimp installed?
[05:51] <profxavier> so you dont actually pass the flag
[05:51] <profxavier> you just enable X11 forwarding
[05:51] <jgomo3> Docteh_: yes
[05:52] <Dr_Willis> pawan:  if you dont get the names and CaSe Correct.. it wont work. :) then again. it could be that dir dosent exist...
[05:52] <profxavier> and when you do so, you can 'echo $DISPLAY' within the shell
[05:52] <TUplink> anyone have issuse with install mailscanner?
[05:52] <Docteh_> profxavier: I know, I looked around for that option
[05:52] <pawan> how to check directory exist or not
[05:53] <Docteh_> jgomo3: check in /var/cache/apt/packages <-- might be wrong here, for gimp packages
[05:53] <TUplink> apt-get issue http://pastebin.com/ytV2X5XR    cant get mailscanner to install
[05:53] <nwmatt> Mr_Sonoma:  I was using Brasero since it is part of gnome.  This worked a few weeks ago. In answer to your question, it does not allow me to select the correct drive, the only option is to write to a file as an iso
[05:53] <Metraa> Any help with media codecs?  I'd like to play a DVD (region 1) in the default media player instead of VLC, but it doesn't have codecs - the codecs are on my box, for VLC though, and libdvdcss package is installed... any thoughts?
[05:53] <Docteh_>  /var/cache/apt/archives
[05:53] <Docteh_> !dvd
[05:53] <Mr_Sonoma> pawan, locate wallpapers and see what that returns
[05:53] <jgomo3> Docteh_: Gimp is not there
[05:54] <pawan> how
[05:54] <jgomo3> Docteh_: how can i refresh that cache so it have all the Gimp packages and Python3 too
[05:54] <profxavier> ok, anyone else? DR_W ?
[05:54] <Mr_Sonoma> pawan, locate wallpapers
[05:54] <pawan> it shows /usr/share/backgrounds
[05:54] <Mr_Sonoma> pawan, thats the command
[05:55] <aaaaaa> ¶Ô edthix Ëµ: .
[05:55] <Viking667> aaaaaa: could we have that in English, please?
