[00:00] <jken146> rodolfo: <IP_ADDRESS>?
[00:00] <mylisto> Is there any kind of program that can record audio (in and out)...
[00:00] <p4_> well now not even the owner can access it, i don't know what that 660 did
[00:00] <rodolfo> jken146: exactly
[00:00] <druntar> Does anyone know if pulseaudio HAS to be used with 8.10? I've been having some problems with it.
[00:00] <mylisto> that is similar to total recorder for windows?
[00:00] <krazyfingerz47> DasEI: 72mb of archives
[00:00] <krazyfingerz47> DasEI: ok?
[00:00] <mandragora22> can anyone help me how do i connect to other server?
[00:00] <DasEI> krazyfingerz47: go ahead
[00:00] <druntar> And if not does anyone know of any alternatives?
[00:00] <rodolfo> jken146: did u know that?
[00:00] <nukisen> mandragora wich irc program u use
[00:01] <jken146> rodolfo, that's exactly what I have, and I can change my av
[00:01] <al__> jinja-sheep, | hey, are you still there?
[00:01] <Anacranom> druntar, have you tried OSS?
[00:01] <krazyfingerz47> DasEI: kk arround 20 mins, you will be here?
[00:01] <jedi06> sudo fdisk -l | grep NTFS | awk '{print $1}'  does not return anything?
[00:01] <nukisen> wich irc client is best in ubuntu
[00:01] <mylisto> anyone?
[00:01] <DasEI> krazyfingerz47: k, slow connection..
[00:02] <mylisto> nukisen: I'm using chatzilla for firefox
[00:02] <rodolfo> jken146: do u have static installation of skype, isn't it?
[00:02] <mylisto> works fine for me
[00:02] <DasEI> !best | nukisen
[00:02] <ST47> nukisen: irssi, xchat
[00:02] <krazyfingerz47> DasEI: its coz im in a network (4 pcs downloading)
[00:02] <druntar> Anacranom: No, Just been dealing with it.
[00:02] <DasEI>  nukisen: pidgin, irrsi, xchat are most common
[00:02] <gnutron> p4_: chmod 700 or 755 the directory, chmod the files 600 or 660 for owner and group
[00:02] <nukisen> ok i have it :)
[00:02] <nukisen> Yes pdgin should be fine thx
[00:02] <jken146> rodolfo, no, I am using the package called skype, which uses the system's own qt libraries instead of skype's.  That works for me.
[00:02] <p4_> ahhhh thanks gnutron :)
[00:03] <p4_> ok i'll try that
[00:03] <bthompson> hey guys i have a SB audigy card that I cannot get the microphone to work....anybody have any ideas..it works fine in windows..
[00:03] <nukisen> didnt thought about it works for irc as well
[00:03] <lstarnes> nukisen: pidgin's IRC support is very incomplete
[00:03] <druntar> Actually, to be honest, I'm not even sure it's pulse. All I know for sure is that nothing seems to recognize my laptops built in microphone.
[00:03] <Anacranom> druntar, i'm using OSS on my main box, my game box, and am very happy with the 5 channel audio and the ossmixer interface
[00:03] <krazyfingerz47> DasEI: thanks a lot btw ;)
[00:03] <krazyfingerz47> DasEI: ill pm u when ready
[00:03] <rodolfo> jken146: just works for me in static package..
[00:03] <DasEI> ..
[00:03] <bthompson> its is an sb0090
[00:03] <rodolfo> jken146: i can change in static package
[00:03] <nukisen> Oki i find out
[00:04] <mylisto> wondering...
[00:04] <mylisto> does anyone know how to record skype calls in ubuntu?
[00:04] <Anacranom> druntar, but i am using 8.04, not sure how it does in 8.10
[00:04] <jken146> rodolfo, I thought you said you found a bug in skype static?
[00:04] <MatBoy> is there a way to set a new password on the commandline without retyping the password for verification ?
[00:04] <zerwas_> There is a process which consumpts 100% cpu and which i cannot even kill with "kill -9". Is there any chance to kill it?
[00:04] <jken146> MatBoy, not to my knowledge
[00:04] <Slart> MatBoy: I think root can set passwords without having to type the old one
[00:04] <jedi06> ActionParsnip I don't have any NTFS partition linux is aware of
[00:04] <Slart> MatBoy: check man passwd
[00:05] <gnutron> p4_: in octals the read bit = 2  write = 4  execute = 1, just add them up to your liking. three fields user, group, others.
[00:05] <rodolfo> jken146: sorry.. normal package
[00:05] <MatBoy> Slart: yes, without the old one, but I don't want to type the new ones twice
[00:05] <MatBoy> jken146: I think the same, but I need to integrate it into a bash script :S
[00:05] <rodolfo> jken146: static skype no problems..
[00:05] <runderwo> bthompson: could it be related to this<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[00:05] <jken146> rodolfo, which package do you have: skype or skype-static?
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> jedi06: if you want to access the host fs from the guest, theres options in vbox to allow access
[00:05] <Slart> MatBoy: then make a script that enters it twice ... call it lazy_passwd =)
[00:06] <Netham46> "[notice caught SIGWINCH, shutting down gracefully"  I'm getting that in my Apache error log, and nothing works. Anyone know how I can fix this?
[00:06] <gnutron> p4_: ugo+rwx would be 777  get it?
[00:06] <MatBoy> Slart: mhh, I can try that it echo's it twice
[00:06] <cplusplus> how could i unzip a bz2?
[00:06] <jedi06> Wait ActionParsnip that is what I am trying to do access the host from the guest but to use ntfs-3g it wants me to locate NTFS partitions which there are none
[00:06] <rodolfo> jken146: now i installed skype-static.. and i can change my avatar.. but in skype package i can't change my avatr
[00:06] <runderwo> cplusplus: tar jxf <bz2>
[00:06] <cplusplus> jxf?
[00:06] <runderwo> cplusplus: or bzip2 -d if it's not a tar
[00:06] <kitche> cplusplus: bunzip <bz2>
[00:07] <jken146> rodolfo, for me it is the other way around! lol
[00:07] <gnutron> cplusplus: tar -xvjf file.tar.bz2
[00:07] <BCampbell> can I get some help with mounting an ntfs drive please?
[00:07] <rodolfo> jken146: what's your arch?
[00:07] <runderwo> cplusplus: j = bz2, x = extract, f = file
[00:07] <cplusplus> ok
[00:07] <jken146> rodolfo, sorry, I don't understand you?
[00:07] <bthompson> runderwo, do i need to restart any service once i edit this file..
[00:07] <gnutron> cplusplus: the -v is verbose
[00:07] <kitche> runderwo: just easier to omit the j last typing by one letter really
[00:07] <kitche> less*
[00:07] <n8tuser> BCampbell -> can we get you started with man mount
[00:07] <rodolfo> jken146: amd64, x86?
[00:08] <jedi06> Action Parsnip the only access vbox i know of is installing guest additions which is apprently hard or impossible from a livecd environment
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> jedi06: shutdown the guest and check ALL of the guest options, one option will be local folders which you can add
[00:08] <p4_> gnutron, are the numbers due to flag bits being set?
[00:08] <runderwo> bthompson: it looks like it's a problem in the driver that has recently been fixed.  So you might need to wait for a new kernel release.
[00:08] <bthompson> runderwo, my card is an audigy1 so i don't know if that matters..
[00:08] <jken146> rodolfo, x86
[00:08] <jedi06> Ok I'll try that then ActionParsnip
[00:08] <rodolfo> jken146: so.. mine is amd64
[00:08] <jken146> rodolfo, so that's why there are two packages!
[00:09] <BCampbell> looked that over n8tuser...questions is why the ntfs config doesn't tool see it, only the windows drive
[00:09] <gnutron> BCampbell: mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1  /media/mountpoint-dir i believe
[00:09] <jedi06> how do you tell it to shutdown from in livecd command line?
[00:09] <bthompson> runderwo, i really don't get any sound at all....it says on this one it is low...but i get nothing at all when trying to record with sound recorder or audacity..
[00:09] <gnutron> p4_: exactly if i understand you
[00:09] <jken146> jedi06, sudo shutdown -h now
[00:09] <runderwo> bthompson: I don't know if it matters either.  But assuming you have enabled the mic and the record volume is up, then there seems to be a drivers/hardware problem.
[00:09] <gnutron> p4_: a 6 is read/write where a 7 is read/write/execute
[00:09] <Stargazer> How do i use 'ssh' to get into my VPS ?
[00:10] <runderwo> bthompson: you could also try arecord.
[00:10] <n8tuser> BCampbell -> what ntfs config tool?  what command have you issued?
[00:10] <cplusplus> yasm is not existing in version 0.6.1 for kubuntu 6?
[00:10] <BCampbell> apt-get install ntfs-config
[00:10] <n8tuser> Stargazer -> is your VPS running an sshd server?
[00:10] <p4_> i see, thanks alot gnutron
[00:10] <BCampbell> gives me a ntfs config tool under apps -> system tools
[00:10] <chanweiyee> check your fstab file
[00:10] <cplusplus> hm
[00:10] <cplusplus> Found yasm 0.4.0
[00:10] <cplusplus> Minimum version is yasm-0.6.1
[00:10] <gnutron> BCampbell: you'll finf ntfs-config in your menu after installed.
[00:11] <bthompson> runderwo, how do i run that...i tried in terminal and i get a bunch of question marks scrolling by..
[00:11] <BCampbell> gnutron - I can see it, but it doesn't see all the ntfs drives
[00:11] <Stargazer> N8tuser, most likely.
[00:11] <Netham46> "[notice] caught SIGWINCH, shutting down gracefully"  I'm getting that in my Apache error log, and nothing works. Anyone know how I can fix this?
[00:11] <n8tuser> BCampbell -> and did you attempt to configure? and what about mount? did you try to mount the partition?
[00:11] <RediXe> Is there a way to host a local repo with ubuntu packages?
[00:11] <gnutron> jedi06: sudo shutdown -h now
[00:12] <n8tuser> Stargazer -> most likely?  you have to be sure, can you not verify?
[00:12] <DarkWolf29> New to linux need help! Downloaded Skype for linux and it gives me a .tar.gz file. How do I install this program? I am using Flux as my wm of choice currently.
[00:12] <Stargazer> N8tuser, how would i verify ?
[00:12] <gnutron> BCampbell: sudo fdisk -l  and examine which ones need mounting then add them to fstab
[00:12] <Guest_571nukisen> now i will try to install ubuntu on that amilo crap
[00:12] <AceBlade258> how do i boot into a command line
[00:12] <bthompson> runderwo, i don't know what happened but after i ran arecord the mic is working was that supposed to happen..
[00:13] <n8tuser> Stargazer -> well where is this VPS? did you install it yourself? look at the configs ?
[00:13] <AceBlade258> not the grub command line, the actual ubuntu command line
[00:13] <Stargazer> N8tuser, it's on x10hosting.
[00:13] <unop> DarkWolf29,  /msg ubottu skype
[00:13] <rascal999> i have a tc1100 and im trying to turn the backlight on it off. The methods described here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571696&page=2) don't work and ive tried modprobe tc1100-wmi, anymore suggestions?
[00:13] <streenz> When I power up my PC GRUB loads Ubuntu by default.. is there a way within Ubuntu when I'm restarting to change the default to WinXP, but just for that one time?
[00:13] <runderwo> bthompson: arecord uses alsa, and those other things may be using OSS, which might be the issue.
[00:13] <rascal999> i have Intrepid ibex
[00:13] <n8tuser> Stargazer -> why not ask them if their VPS is really running an sshd server so you can ssh into it?
[00:13] <runderwo> bthompson: OSS mode is only an emulation mode in ubuntu.
[00:13] <DarkWolf29> thank you
[00:13] <gnutron> AceBlade258: its simpler to exit the desktop environment to get to the console, or prevent gdm/kde from launching on boot
[00:13] <bthompson> i am looking for an app like quicksilver for mac and or launchy for pc...what is the best solution for a program like this for ubuntu
[00:14] <Stargazer> N8tuser, they say i can use ssh into it. :<
[00:14] <AceBlade258> streenz: when grub starts to load press escape
[00:14] <n8tuser> Stargazer -> okay, and what happens when you do ssh in?
[00:14] <Stargazer> N8tuser, what's the syntax ? >.<
[00:14] <gnutron> streenz: no, unless you re-edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:14] <AceBlade258> the gui dosn't load, i need to boot into a command line to install my graphics card driver
[00:15] <n8tuser> AceBlade258 -> boot into single user mode and fix it?
[00:15] <ziggles> hi all, i am having problems using vmbuilder -- "domain is undefined and host has no domain set"  could someone point me in the right direction as to how i define a domain?  thx
[00:15] <AceBlade258> how so?
[00:15] <streenz> AceBlade258 - what I want to do is when Ubuntu is running, do something so that when I click "restart" I can walk away and the PC will log out of Ubuntu and power down, then power up and load windows without any input
[00:15] <Dr_willis> streenz,  ive seen some distros thjat let you sort of do that.. but i think it can cause probvlems. its best to just set a 20-30 sec wait/menu delay on grub and select what you want. Its also possible to have it rember the last os you selected.. and always default to that
[00:15] <n8tuser> Stargazer -> if you ever get stuck someday, google is your friend, but typically   ssh -l username remotehostipaddress
[00:15] <AceBlade258> streenz: sorry, cant help you there, i'm kinda newbish
[00:16] <streenz> Dr_willis - ah, but there is no sort of option to choose the one I DIDNT load last?
[00:16] <AceBlade258> rather how do i get into single user mode
[00:16] <bthompson> i am looking for an app like quicksilver for mac and or launchy for pc...what is the best solution for a program like this for ubuntu
[00:17] <zerwas_> There is a process which consumpts 100% cpu and which i cannot even kill with "kill -9". Is there any chance to kill it?
[00:17] <gnutron> AceBlade258: do you see a boot menu ? if so just use recovery mode
[00:17] <AceBlade258> ok
[00:17] <Dr_willis> streenz,  niot that ive noticed.. You could go to the grub homepage and start reading the docs.. i may ov overlooked somthing like what you are wanting to do.  its possible to set the 'default' line from a script  i imagine. but ive not seen any tools in ubuntu that automate that
[00:17] <runderwo> zerwas_: probably not, but you can try kill -STOP
[00:17] <AceBlade258> thanks
[00:17] <gnutron> AceBlade258: note your path and stuff may be different
[00:18] <drash> streenz: maybe grub-choose-default could help you out with , never tried it myself .. just an idea
[00:18] <BCampbell> n8tuser:   fsdtab should read "/dev/sda1 /home/bruce/storage ntfs default 2,0"?  that will give user the read write permissions?
[00:18] <Dr_willis> !info grub-choose-default
[00:18] <runderwo> zerwas_: usually, this is a kernel bug that causes it.
[00:18] <zerwas_> runderwo> thank you very much for your hint. it didn't work though
[00:19] <zerwas_> runderwo> by the way, the process is "totem"
[00:19] <Dante123> I have a zydas zd1211 usb wireless dongle.  I want to use it as an Access Point (software AP).  I think this message here indicates that this is possible under linux:  http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Hardware/ZD1211-Driver-12712.shtml  How do I figure out what version of the driver I am currently running under Ubuntu 8.10????
[00:19] <p4_> ok thats fixed, now i need to thoroughly learn what actually happened :D
[00:19] <gnutron> BCampbell: like this: /dev/sda1 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
[00:19] <Claw6> zerwas_, totem is the "explorer" of ubuntu
[00:19] <streenz> zerwas_, /usr/bin/killall totem     .. that work?
[00:19] <n8tuser> BCampbell -> perhaps its   ntfs-3g and defaults   but to confirm, kindly man fstab  sometimes i forget things too
[00:19] <BCampbell> gnutron thanks
[00:19] <zerwas_> streenz> no
[00:19] <runderwo> zerwas_: check this bug.  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/213053
[00:20] <gnutron> BCampbell: two zeros at the end you dont want fsck running on that drive/partition.
[00:20] <BCampbell> n8tuser:  thanks also
[00:20] <runderwo> zerwas_: check your kernel log (dmesg) for oops messages.
[00:20] <Asarana> hi everyone
[00:20] <streenz> zerwas_,  sorry thats all I know.. haha .. personally I dont use Totem, I use VLC
[00:20] <n8tuser> BCampbell -> you're welcome, anyhow, sometimes you have to use man pages to confirm the options
[00:20] <EmacsFan> Asarana hi!
[00:20] <hsalem> hi all
[00:20] <ziggles> VLC rocks
[00:20] <hsalem> can anyone help me please?
[00:20] <jedi06> ActionParsnip you cannot access those shared folders without installing guestadditions and you must reboot after installing guest addtions although i found this http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/734
[00:21] <zerwas_> runderwo> oh yes, many useful output there about totem
[00:21] <hsalem> i am new in here and i need help
[00:21] <zerwas_> runderwo> like "INFO: task totem:17042 blocked for more than 120 seconds."
[00:21] <EmacsFan> hsalem: what's your problem?
[00:21] <jedi06> unfortunately Parsnip they don't say how to do it
[00:21] <hsalem> i installed ubuntu 8.10 and i can't play any movies :(
[00:21] <runderwo> zerwas_: it sounds like you should subscribe to that bug and await a resolution.
[00:21] <Claw6> hsalem, you need the codecs
[00:21] <zerwas_> runderwo> i will do so, thank you very very much. In the meantime i should switch my media player
[00:22] <runderwo> zerwas_: VLC is suggested many times here :-)
[00:22] <BCampbell> thanks for the help....
[00:22] <EmacsFan> haselm: what kind of software are you using for playing movies?
[00:22] <hsalem> Claw I installed the codeces
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> jedi06: then install the guest additions
[00:22] <hsalem> still all players shuts down
[00:22] <DasEI>  EmacsFan:vlc
[00:22] <zerwas_> runderwo> i'll stay with mplayer, but vlc is also ok ;)
[00:22] <Claw6> hsalem, well you see a black screen get an error msg or what?
[00:23] <streenz> anyone else using Pidgin find that it randomly closes with no error given.. nothing.. just all of a sudden its gone?
[00:23] <hsalem> Claw no just double clicking on the movie it starts a player and then shuts down
[00:23] <Claw6> hsalem, which player you are using ?
[00:23] <Claw6> hsalem, may you should give a try to VLC?
[00:23] <drash> disappearing pidgins ?
[00:24] <hsalem> VLC, MPlayer, Movie Player all players do the same
[00:24] <Guest_571nukisen> hmmm itried to install the ubuntu but my screen was black. Now i have to try in failsafe graph
[00:24] <cweigle> Mplayer is Movie Player isn't it?
[00:24] <ziggles> hsalem: VLC has codecs embedded with it as far as i know
[00:24] <Guest_571nukisen> A sort of
[00:24] <ziggles> cwillu yes
[00:24] <Claw6> ziggles, you're right
[00:24] <hsalem> ziggles i do not think it is a problem of codecs
[00:25] <streenz> anyone have a recommendation for a messenger program for my MSN account, other than Pidgin?
[00:25] <cweigle> Does anyone know if touchscreens work with Ubuntu?
[00:25] <ziggles> streenz do you not like pidgin?
[00:25] <hsalem> Claws check this out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=324221
[00:25] <nukisen> Hmm i prefer pidgin
[00:25] <Claw6> hsalem, what videocard do you use?
[00:25] <Claw6> cweigle, they do
[00:25] <workingchair> Hey guys, I'm having a problem viewing flash video like YouTube and stuff.  Nothing is showing up.  It has been working ever since I installed Ubuntu and the flash player a week or two ago, but as of last night it stopped working
[00:25] <kitche> cweigle: yes
[00:25] <jedi06> ActionParsnip did you hear what i said you have to reboot after installing guest additions i'm tyring to use it in livecd environment
[00:25] <hsalem> Claws it says that i have to modify a file called gui.conf
[00:25] <Claw6> cweigle, dont know rly how but they will
[00:25] <streenz> ziggles, I find it randomly closes itself and I cant figure out why.. that, plus im open to any other programs that might be out there
[00:26] <p4_> thanks again, i'm off
[00:26] <hsalem> Claw but i can't find that file
[00:26] <n8tuser> hsalem have you look at some tutorials on how to watch video on ubuntu?
[00:26] <cweigle> Ok, my cousin is interested in trying and she has a Fujitsu Lifebook, so I wanted to make sure.
[00:26] <hsalem> it is an ATI
[00:26] <hsalem> Claws it is an ATI VGA on a laptop

[00:31] <RediXe> rww: thx
[00:31] <DasEI> krazyfingerz47: heard a beep ?
[00:31] <gnutron> hsalem: run it with sudo
[00:31] <kitche> _cb: well ubuntu uses openjava by default but if you want the commerical java yu want sun-java-jre or close to that name anyways
[00:32] <gnutron> hsalem: sudo  /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[00:32] <krazyfingerz47> DasEI: no =s
[00:32] <jedi06> where do the usb's get mounted ?
[00:32] <gnutron> jedi06: in /media/usb typically
[00:32] <nukisen> I am beginning to fall in love with Ubuntu
[00:33] <nukisen> I have tried xp
[00:33] <DasEI> jedi06: /media, unless you specified other
[00:33] <nukisen> Vista
[00:33] <nukisen> and win 7
[00:33] <nukisen> All failed to install my laptop
[00:33] <Asarana> nukisen:how was your experience with them
[00:33] <hsalem> gnutron and then what?
[00:33] <streenz> jedi06, my USB stick shows up in /media/disk
[00:34] <gnutron> hsalem: it should play dvd's now
[00:34] <nukisen> Ubuntu got a blank screen
[00:34] <hsalem> gnutron but i need to run avi movies :(
[00:34] <nukisen> Then i just put the installation in failsafe graphik mode
[00:34] <DasEI> hsalem: install vlc
[00:34] <jedi06> does it automatically go to /media/usb/usb
[00:34] <nukisen> Voila it worked
[00:34] <exiton> exit
[00:34] <hsalem> gnutron or dvdrip files
[00:34] <gnutron> hsalem: hrm, a few players run avi's i thought.
[00:34] <cweigle> Who all uses a laptop in here just wondering
[00:34] <hsalem> DasEI it is installed
[00:35] <linxuz3r> is this still possible i could not find the program in synaptic: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup
[00:35] <kitche> nukisen: probably have to configure Xorg up since the autoconfig most likely can not work correctly for your hardware
[00:35] <DasEI> hsalem: it plays avi
[00:35] <nukisen> I think so to
[00:35] <hsalem> DasEI it shuts down
[00:35] <R0b0t1> How do I remove the server image? Somehow it got installed and it autoboots to that, but I want to autoboot to generic.
[00:36] <nukisen> I have to wait until it is installed
[00:36] <L-argiplex> linxuz3r: US leetz0rz use Gadmin-Rsync
[00:36] <LeventersoY> how can i clearing a dns cache on ubuntu?
[00:36] <LeventersoY> please help me
[00:36] <L-argiplex> linxuz3r: Whats wrong with you son! :=()
[00:36] <jedi06> I don't see anything in /media/usb I enabled usb in vbox and it installed some virtual usb driver and its not showing up anywhere
[00:36] <dsnaike> hsalem is compiz installed and running
[00:36] <linxuz3r> Gadmin-Rsync?
[00:36] <LeventersoY> how can i clear dns cache on ubuntu?
[00:36] <LeventersoY> >)
[00:37] <hsalem> dsnaike what is compiz?
[00:37] <n8tuser> R0b0t1 -> adjust your menu.lst  for whatever the default you wanted
[00:37] <L-argiplex> linxuz3r: Follow the Powertrails my friend
[00:37] <PSiL0> !compiz | hsalem
[00:37] <DasEI> hsalem: if you just call vlc, does it shut down ?
[00:37] <gnutron> hsalem: got w32codecs installed? could be in that package, proper codecs, then xine, vlc etc should would. you might install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly also.
[00:37] <n8tuser> LeventersoY -> you have to ifdown eth0   assuming it is eth0 you're after
[00:37] <streenz> L-argiplex, does Gadmin-Rsync work to back up data from a local directory to a samba share? I tried a different program and it didnt register a "smb://directoryname" location as a valid directory
[00:37] <n8tuser> LeventersoY -> then ifup eth0
[00:37] <dsnaike> you don't so not the problem
[00:37] <DasEI> gnutron: vlc brigs it's own codecs
[00:37] <hsalem> i start vlc and starts
[00:37] <DasEI> brings*
[00:37] <linxuz3r> L-argiplex: is there a package for gadmin-rsync
[00:38] <Dr_willis> streenz,  what app dident like smb://  ?? that would be most likely only working for gnome apps.
[00:38] <hsalem> as soon as i drag the avi over it and drop it it shuts down
[00:38] <Netham46> "[notice caught SIGWINCH, shutting down gracefully"  I'm getting that in my Apache error log, and nothing works. Anyone know how I can fix this?
[00:38] <gnutron> DasEI: ok, appreciate that.
[00:38] <hsalem> i do not have compzi
[00:38] <n8tuser> Netham46 -> what triggered this?
[00:38] <R0b0t1> n8tuser: is there a way to completely remove it?
[00:38] <streenz> Dr_willis, I cant remember off the top of my head, I tried it a month or so ago and gave up or got distracted
[00:38] <DasEI> hsalem: with vlc open  media>openfile> blabla.avi ?
[00:38] <drash> LeventersoY: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-clearflush-dns-cache-in-ubuntu.html
[00:38] <dsnaike> hsalem try using the menu in the player to see if that works
[00:39] <Netham46> n8tuser, semingly nothing. It was running perfectly for almost a year, then it went down earlier, and this is what I'm getting.
[00:39] <n8tuser> R0b0t1 -> easily, refer to your menu.lst of where this kernel and initrd resides, the unreference them and delete afterwards
[00:39] <L-argiplex> streenz: I have some admins running those across continents. They say its rsync, differential backups every day and its also encrypted via ssh/crypto
[00:39] <Dr_willis> streenz,  the thing to rember is the smb:// and other fancy whatever://  stuff is pretty much gnomes speciual way of accesing special files/places :) kde uses kioslaves to do a similer thing. Not sure what gnome calls it.
[00:39] <L-argiplex> streenz: Im confident girl
[00:39] <hsalem> dsnaike/DasEI ever from File/Open/filename.avi it shuts down
[00:39] <n8tuser> Netham46 -> anyone was hitting your apache when it broke or just out of the blue?
[00:40] <Netham46> n8tuser, I was browsing some forums I host when it started.
[00:40] <DasEI> hsalem: try a different avi ?
[00:40] <streenz> Dr_willis, so a smb://sharedfolder  would be in my filesystem under a different name? or should rsync accept "smb://sharedfolder" as a directory?
[00:40] <dsnaike> hsalem u said you installed codecs can u specify
[00:40] <hsalem> DasEI same problem
[00:40] <apocolyps1> i still cant get my grub menu to fit on my widescreen 1366x768
[00:40] <n8tuser> Netham46 -> wait a second, browsing some forums?  that is not your apache server, it is someone else at the remote site.. am confused
[00:41] <hsalem> the w32codes and others
[00:41] <Netham46> n8tuser, it's my server, I host some forums that I was looking at.
[00:41] <Netham46> n8tuser, I'll brb.
[00:41] <L-argiplex> hsalem: trolling are we ?
[00:41] <Dr_willis> streenz,  gnome file manager 'browses' shares - it may or may not be 'mounting' them. use the mount command to see.. If its MOUNTED to a local directrory then every program would be able to access the things as if they were a local directrory. If its just browsing - then you canhave issues with non-gnome apps
[00:41] <hsalem> L-argiplex what do you mean by trolling?
[00:42] <DasEI> hsalem: can it play mp3 ?
[00:42] <hsalem> DasEI let me check
[00:42] <theory_> hi
[00:42] <DasEI> hsalem: ownership of the avi's ?
[00:42] <Stargazer> I'm trying to enable repos on my VPS, how do i do this via the terminal ?
[00:43] <L-argiplex> hsalem: You are on irc so you logged on and joined #ubuntu, right ?
[00:43] <jrib> !repos > Stargazer
[00:43] <hsalem> L-argiplex yep
[00:43] <n8tuser> Stargazer -> were you able to ssh in to that remote VPS yet?
[00:43] <throwt> are there source packages like srpms?  I want to modify the default kernel but I want it packaged-like not just ad-oc
[00:43] <nukisen> hmm the screen is black again
[00:43] <dsnaike> hsalem try one more thing install smplayer and try it
[00:43] <nukisen> hope it is temporary
[00:43] <streenz> Dr_willis, okay I dont see it using the mount command, so I will have to mount it first, and then I should have no issues.. thanks, I didnt realize it might not be mounted
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> Stargazer: you can sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and add whatever you wish, or uncomment what's already in there
[00:44] <Stargazer> Yeah, n8tuser. i just had to restart it.
[00:44] <Zenitur> I'm sorry, what is the name of russian language Ubuntu channel?
[00:44] <DasEI> krazyfingerz47: so no further idea then, maybe play around with the preferences, you should have sound
[00:44] <hsalem> dsnaike same problem with smplayer
[00:44] <theory_> I'd like to isolate the sound streams of several apps .. like Ekiga, Skype .. the goal is to hear Skype in Ekiga ... hear Ekiga in another app ... does someone know how I can do it ?
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> !ru | Zenitur
[00:44] <jrib> !ru | Zenitur
[00:44] <gnutron> Netham46: its really not wise to browse the web with a web server, thats debateable but sigwinch is signal window change size signal. it may have tripped on something
[00:44] <Dr_willis> streenz,   ages ago there were gui tools that browed/mounted  the shares..  but gnome sort of tries to be smarter :) which works.. unitllyou start using non-gnome stuff
[00:44] <n8tuser> Stargazer -> umm, you can restart the vps remotely? or you're ssh
[00:44] <n8tuser> in to the host?
[00:44] <apocolyps1> any1:.......cant get my grub menu to fit on my widescreen 1366x768
[00:44] <L-argiplex> hsalem: You downloaded, burned, installed ubuntu but have no clue as to what OlMacDonold had on his farms ? :=)
[00:45] <Zenitur> jrub, ty.
[00:45] <Dr_willis> streenz,  there MAY be some .gvfs directroy/path that you could access to get to the  shres.. bt ive never explored it much
[00:45] <Stargazer> N8tuser, the host has a nice panel i use... it's seperate from the VPS so i can do it from there.
[00:45] <Friend> kick
[00:45] <hsalem> L-argiplex i do not follow
[00:45] <theory_> I tried to configure my ALSA and PulseAudio, but I can't find how to to it :/
[00:45] <DasEI> hsalem: avis are broken sometimes, but the vlc won't shut down, but tell you, if the ownership is the prob, do :
[00:45] <n8tuser> apocolyps1 -> frb seems to max out at 1280x800 ?  see what vga=795  resolution is
[00:45] <krazyfingerz47> DasEI: =[
[00:45] <hsalem> DasEI no, the avi works fine on windows
[00:46] <DasEI> hsalem: sudo hsalem chown /path/to/avi  , assuming username is hsalem
[00:46] <Johannn> #django
[00:46] <hsalem> DasEI and also work fine on ubuntu under windows
[00:46] <dsnaike> hsalem I solved every video & audio problem by installing gstreamer&ffmpeg codecs in synaptic
[00:46] <n8tuser> Stargazer -> ah okay, sometimes without those additional info, we get confused as how people do things,
[00:46] <DasEI> hsalem: sudo chown hsalem /path/to/avi  , assuming username is hsalem  ,sorry
[00:46] <Stargazer> Sorry, n8tuser.
[00:46] <apocolyps1> n8tuser: ok, have been trying heaps of vga= options but havent kept a record
[00:46] <theory_> please ... can someone help me ?
[00:47] <Dr_willis> apocolyps1,  try vga=ask   :) and try them all.
[00:47] <DasEI> !ask | theory_
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> !ask | theory_
[00:47] <n8tuser> apocolyps1 -> i dont know the mapping by heart, but if you google for it, you may get your anwer or a hint
[00:47] <gnutron> theory_: click system - preferences - sound  ...test it out
[00:47] <hsalem> dsnaike how can i do that?
[00:47] <theory_> !ask
[00:47] <L-argiplex> hsalem: Once you learn. Im guessing in 10 years from now maybe. Ill come back
[00:47] <theory_> !ask I'd like to isolate the sound streams of several apps .. like Ekiga, Skype .. the goal is to hear Skype in Ekiga ... hear Ekiga in another app ... does someone know how I can do it ?
[00:47] <nukisen> :)
[00:48] <DasEI> hsalem:system > paketmanager,  search for the given packages & install
[00:49] <DasEI> !DVD | hsalem
[00:49] <nukisen> Ahahahaha lool it was the screen saver that blanked the screen:)
[00:49] <gnutron> hsalem: you have a desktop running, open synaptic, use search function, find gstreamer pluhins and ffmpeg ad install them.
[00:49] <n8tuser> whose using vlc to listen to shoutcast? do you find that sometimes you're unable to listen to them? is it the connection that prevents it?
[00:49] <n8tuser> nukisen -> fooled you eh? lol
[00:49] <nukisen> The installation was ready
[00:49] <nukisen> hahaha
[00:49] <DasEI> n8tuser: that works ? I use amarok for it
[00:49] <apocolyps1> Dr_willis: all my xserver stuff comes up fine its just the grub menu at the start(i need the menu for multiple booting) every vga= settings i try only affect the xserver and splash screens
[00:50] <nukisen> I am so stupid sometimees
[00:50] <n8tuser> DasEI -> yes, shoutcast works in VLC, its just sometimes my connection i guess is far too slow
[00:50] <fw1> e
[00:50] <n8tuser> liek right now
[00:50] <DasEI> nukisen: let's meet again ;-)
[00:51] <Yamaneko> Hello! I'm with a problem with .rmvb. When I try to execute it via MPlayer it give the message: "mplayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: init_audio_codec". Can someone help me?
[00:52] <DasEI> n8tuser: bandwith can be a reason, but also some servers are real weak
[00:52] <nukisen> hahah
[00:52] <nukisen> see u inside ubuntu instead
[00:52] <nukisen> it is ready
[00:52] <nukisen> and steady :)
[00:52] <henri> Hi everyone, i'm an ubuntu user - I recently thought i'd try and upgrade my nvidia drivers to the latest .run (rather than an apt packaged) version, two hours later and I think apt's managed to remove xserver-xorg which I think i've now reinstalled - i'm now using envy-ng to install my drivers (as i'd just like my desktop back to be honest!) - there are no errors, indeed nvidia stuff seems to load fine - but when gdm starts all the right s
[00:52] <henri> so i can't get to a login prompt with the nvidia drivers anymore, despite the configuration being quite similar
[00:52] <henri> if not the same before
[00:52] <Billy> does anyone know how to change ownership from root to the user
[00:52] <nukisen> lets see if i can get it out in the net
[00:52] <henri> Billy: chown user.group file1 file2
[00:53] <n8tuser> DasEl i introduced this to a friend, and he was elated to find out there practically thousands of channels streaming via shoutcast. now all he has to have is to find time.. lol
 Netham46: its really not wise to browse the web with a web server, thats debateable but sigwinch is signal window change size signal. it may have tripped on something   I wasn't on the webserver, I was at school.
[00:53] <DasEI> henri:8.10 ?
[00:53] <Billy> is that the same for a directory
[00:53] <Netham46> n8tuser, I'm back, btw.
[00:53] <henri> DasEI, yep
[00:53] <henri> Billy: yes, yoiu can also do it recursively (chown -R ...)
[00:53] <gnutron> henri: i think you need to run nvidia-settings from terminal but i would check the docs on that.
[00:54] <streenz> where is the option to stop it showing mounted disks/USB/CDs etc on the desktop as icons?
[00:54] <henri> gnutron: Interesting, i'm using the same config i've always used
[00:54] <peleg> Is this a known bug? I've seen some reports on the web, but I couldn't understand the resolution: evolution send my stuff in plaintext (!), even if I define a SSL/TLS connection, and hence dovecot refuses it.
[00:54] <n8tuser> Netham46 -> okay, did you bring snacks? am hungry..lol
[00:54] <henri> you think my xorg.conf needs remaking?
[00:54] <Netham46> n8tuser, lol.
[00:54] <Stargazer> I need to FIX an issue that has been a pain in my side: beeping. like an error, ubuntu beeps ? yeah. instead of using my sound card it uses my speakers/headphones. anyone know how to permanently turn this off ?
[00:54] <Netham46> n8tuser, but, know what's going on? =/
[00:54] <gnutron> henri: you could back it up and try that.
[00:54] <DasEI> henri:.. uses xorg 7.4, often nasty to firmware, depends on card (me ati-user), backup xorg.conf and sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[00:54] <peleg> This is what I saw, for example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/257906
[00:54] <henri> that'll just restore default xorg.conf (i.e. minimal, vesa)
[00:55] <henri> from what i've seen
[00:55] <n8tuser> Netham46 -> about that sigwinch?  i think gnutron is correct about that
[00:55] <henri> (DasEl)
[00:55] <hsalem> guys .... I am much grateful for you trying to help me
[00:55] <DasEI> henri:yes
[00:55] <henri> so that'll work
[00:55] <DasEI> hsalem ? mp3 ?
[00:55] <l3d> is there a way to back up the teme I have made with out backing up the whole .theme folder?
[00:55] <henri> but still no nvidia, and only one screen (DasEl)
[00:55] <hsalem> I'll try to install the gstreamer and ffmpeg and see what I can do
[00:55] <boot_loop> heya folka
[00:55] <boot_loop> folks
[00:55] <hsalem> DasEI i just can find a single mp3 on my laptop to check it out :)
[00:55] <DasEI> !dualhead | henri
[00:55] <Netham46> n8tuser, I wasn't web browsing on the server, it's headless and CLI only.
[00:56] <Doonz> PORN
[00:56] <Doonz> sorry wron gwindow
[00:56] <DasEI> hsalem : music.download.com
[00:56] <Doonz> wrong*
[00:56] <henri> DasEI, As i say it was working before, and i've now got this black screen issue..
[00:56] <Netham46> n8tuser, and the error reoccurs every time I try to start my website
[00:56] <Billy> it tells me its not permitted
[00:56] <henri> Billy: You'll have to use sudo if you're not aleady root..
[00:56] <henri> sudo chown ...
[00:56] <n8tuser> Netham46 -> umm can you post in pastebin the logs of apache or perhaps ask the nice folks at #apache to help troubleshoot?
[00:56] <kitche> Stargazer: you can rmmod pcspkr I believe that is the kernel module for that been a while
[00:57] <dsnaike> hsalem did u install ubuntu-restricted -extras
[00:57] <Netham46> n8tuser, logs'll be hard right now, but I'll ask in apache.
[00:57] <Stargazer> Kitche, that will stop the beeping from errupting my eardrums ?
[00:57] <n8tuser> Netham46 -> okay good luck
[00:57] <Netham46> n8tuser, thanks, heh.
[00:57] <yakuz> can someone please explain to me how to add a resolution to ati catalyst control center?
[00:57] <henri> does anyone know the tune2fs command to reset the check number for drives off the top of their head?
[00:58] <kitche> Stargazer: should even though windows does the same thing really :) but windows usually stops after you install the sound drivers
[00:58] <anna> hello
[00:59] <Zenitur> anna, hi! Where are you from and what is your distro?
[00:59] <Billy> root@Ubuntu:/# chown william.william /home/william/BACKUP
[00:59] <Billy> chown: changing ownership of `/home/william/BACKUP': Operation not permitted
[01:00] <DasEI> henri: you mean auto-check at startup ?
[01:00] <tecredra> hi
[01:00] <gnutron> Stargazer: you should be able to toggle that in system/preferences/sound sounds tab
[01:00] <henri> DasEI, yep
[01:00] <peleg> This is a serious bug, and its resolution in launchpad is "We are closing this bug report as it lacks the information"... did *anyone* here have this issue? It's not something that shoul be skipped
[01:00] <DasEI> henri: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=300477
[01:00] <hsalem> dsnaike yes i did install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:00] <brianwillis1984> hey everyone i have a question
[01:01] <brianwillis1984> i have a old system pent II 400mhz with 192mb
[01:01] <kitche> peleg: well add more information hence what that bug report is asking for
[01:01] <brianwillis1984> could i use ubuntu or even xubuntu
[01:01] <DasEI> !minimal | brianwillis1984
[01:01] <hsalem> DasEI you want me to try mp3 with vlc?
[01:01] <tecredra> how can i rename a .desktop file? i can only change its alias from nautilus and terminal doesn't take too kindly to the mu character
[01:01] <DasEI> hsalem : yo, just to check installation
[01:01] <Billy> im root and it still says operation not permited
[01:02] <peleg> kitche, I don't see what other information I can add. it's as simple as that, really. I tell evolution to send my login information using SSL/TLS, but it does it in plaintext; completely ignores me. End of story...
[01:02] <Zenitur> brianwillis1984, use 2 Gb SWAP and you can install Ubuntu on any PC.
[01:02] <Stargazer> Omg, gnutron, TY.
[01:02] <DasEI> tecredra: sudo mv file.1  file.2   (including path)
[01:02] <squirt33> I just updated to 8.10 and compiz isn't working. Here's the x-session log error. http://pastebin.com/m1e5c4773. WHat do I do?
[01:03] <tecredra> DasEI: thanks, i'll try that.
[01:03] <brianwillis1984> would i be pulling out my hair about getting this online cause i tried debian and i was pulling out my hair trying to even get to the desktop and try to get online
[01:03] <Krstnsn> whats the most common reason for an app not to open?
[01:03] <grayson> Zenitur, 2 GB swap! thank you.
[01:04] <Yamaneko> When I try to execute .rmvb on MPlayer it gives me back: "mplayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: init_audio_codec". Can someone help me?
[01:04] <Zenitur> billy, maybe, lets try to use LiveCD to apply your command?
[01:04] <gnutron> brianwillis1984: sure you can, try xubuntu and be patient with that 400 mhz processor
[01:04] <DasEI> brianwillis1984: you want have much fun with x, fluxbox after no software installed from minimal wiould do, better consider dsl
[01:04] <brianwillis1984> tried dsl
[01:04] <n8tuser> Billy -> what is the current perms for that file or dir you're attempting to chown ?
[01:05] <brianwillis1984> cant get online with that either
[01:05] <Billy> root
[01:05] <brianwillis1984> ran smoothly but that was the only prob
[01:05] <gnutron> brianwillis1984: i have a 400mhz pII that took 4 hours to compile a debian kernel but it runs it
[01:05] <n8tuser> Billy -> list the one liner
[01:05] <Krstnsn> anyone? know why an application wouldnt open up unless i reboot.. but if i close it again it wont open

[01:06] <dsnaike> hsalem can u post your system specs
[01:06] <brianwillis1984> no luck
[01:06] <Dr_willis> Krstnsn,  run it from a terminal - look for error messages

[01:06] <temppy> Krstnsn: sounds like what happens when firefox locks up.  The previous instance is locked up, and hidden.  New instances refuse to open, since they detect an already open instance...

[01:08] <gnutron> Krstnsn: firefox loves to crash when certain addons and or extensions are installed, disabled everything you do not need.
[01:09] <||cw2> hmf
[01:09] <brianwillis1984> gnutron, couldnt i use this http://www.elivecd.org/
[01:09] <Billy> it goes through them but still says  operation not premeditated
[01:09] <||cw2> my ff love to crash no matter
[01:09] <Krstnsn> gnutron, its not firefox though its deluge
[01:09] <Krstnsn> itll only open if i reboot
[01:10] <||cw2> only thing it doens't crash on is the default start page
[01:10] <||cw2> I don't have this problem on 8.04, just 8.10
[01:10] <gnutron> Krstnsn: is that a p2p client?  must be buggy, tail -f your /home/user/.xsession-eror log
[01:10] <Dr_willis> ive had no problems with Firefox under 8.10  - samba on the other hand......
[01:10] <onexused> I did a clean install of Ubuntu 8.10, and installed kppp from the kubuntu 8.10 CD.   When I try to dial to my ISP with kppp, kppp will get to where the log window says "CONNECT 45333<whatever>" and then restart the dial process.  When I had Ubuntu 8.04 installed, this did not happen.  What can I try to fix this?
[01:11] <Dezine> I have absolutely no sound, I've tried looking around online and none of the methods get it to work. The sound device is HDA Nvidia if that helps
[01:11] <Billy> i will try doing it from a live cd
[01:12] <brianwillis1984> hey guys couldnt i use elive linux
[01:12] <Krstnsn> gnutron, dont know i cant get that command to return anything but an error
[01:12] <gnutron> brianwillis1984: just a ethernet connection problem still or what?
[01:13] <gnutron> Krstnsn: whats the error? tried reinstalling deluge?
[01:13] <Dezine> Ok, that's weird, I can hear sound coming out of the speakers but very faint and it's turned up all the way
[01:13] <brianwillis1984> yea with the pcmia card is the problem this laptop dont have a onboard ethernet
[01:13] <Zenitur> When I am using BluetoothDialup with "pon BluetoothDialup" script, FireFox think that I am working offline. "sudo pon BluetoothDialup" fix this. Ubuntu 7.04-8.10. Please, fix this problem.
[01:13] <vertana> Dezine try alsa mixer and see if you have all your "different" volumes up.
[01:13] <Anacranom> peleg, that does seem to be very serious issue, but is it only on ubuntu? - a ubuntu specific issue? if not, may need to see if there is a #evolution , but thanks for the notice, i am gonna check it out more
[01:14] <jp_sf> Dezine: I had the same problem on my ubuntu and alsmixer fixed it by tuning the levels
[01:14] <Krstnsn> gnutron, trying to reinstall as we speaks
[01:14] <Krstnsn> -s
[01:14] <Miesco> My sound capture isn't working :/
[01:14] <Miesco> What should I do?
[01:14] <zuberot> how to setup my windows to be shown on te screen center? i use metacity
[01:14] <gnutron> brianwillis1984: arrr, laptop cards can be monsters you need the proper module and config, google the card/chipset
[01:15] <jp_sf> Dezine: if you don't like alsamixer there is a gui Gnome Alsa Mixer
[01:15] <Dezine> Looking in volume control everything is turned up
[01:15] <peleg> Anacranom, there is no #evolution as far as I know, but I didn't do a long research about it. I don't know if it is ubuntu-specific: I have found in the web mostly about ubuntu, but also one complaint with fedore, something quite similar
[01:15] <jp_sf> Dezine: I had to put everything in red to start to hear something
[01:15] <aboucher> should i upgrade to 8.10 with ubuntu server cd?
[01:15] <vertana> Dezine, I had that problem before and the culprit was that while my Alsa volumes were up my OSS ones were not
[01:15] <aboucher> or go clean install
[01:16] <vertana> This shouldn't be as much as a problem these days but you could still be using OSS drivers (which are fed through Alsa, which is why it may affect it)
[01:16] <Anacranom> peleg, i'm doing some testing on sled11, will compare to my Ubuntu stats
[01:17] <peleg> Anacranom, hey, if you find out anything, let me know :-)
[01:17] <onexused> aboucher: I don't know how it is for others, but I had problems trying to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10.
[01:17] <Dezine> Alright, sweet, I got it. I install the gnome alsa mixer and there was some settings that weren't in the other one
[01:17] <vertana> onexused: I had no problems doing a software upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 through update-manager, what was your error?
[01:17] <Dezine> Thanks everyone
[01:17] <vertana> No problem, Dezine.
[01:17] <maxxist> quick question for flash 64 bit folks.  which folders do I copy the plugin into for all users to use?
[01:17] <rww> Dezine: Yeah, gnome-alsamixer has everything, as far as I can see. I couldn't get any sound at all yesterday because a control that appears to only be in g-am was muted.
[01:17] <vertana> Glad you got it fixed.
[01:18] <Dezine> All four speakers are working now :D
[01:18] <vertana> ^^
[01:19] <onexused> vertana: The first time I booted after upgrade, the screen was black and I couldn't do anything with the keyboard including switching to another terminal.  Also, I couldn't ssh in.
[01:19] <mrpockets> what the hell happened when I pressed Windows+R
[01:19] <tom0360> Do I have to( or can I ) disable SSH root login on a default Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid) install, or is it off by default or something not to be concerned with as it is not a server?
[01:19] <mrpockets> and how the hell do i disable it?
[01:19] <linux_guy> I have installed virtualbox-ose and I cannot seem to get it to start under apps>accs>vboxose
[01:20] <vertana> Onexused: Have you tried booting into other kernels/os or otherwise verified it is NOT a hardware issue?
[01:20] <istvan_> i need to ssh to a mac, how might I do this?
[01:20] <onexused> vertana: It's not.  When I did a clean install, it was fine.
[01:20] <vertana> Onexused: Another way is to try a usb keyboard (assuming it's either hardware issue or driver issue)
[01:20] <istvan_> i'm on the lan, and it's ip is <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:20] <Dr_willis> istvan_,  install a ssh server on the mac
[01:20] <onexused> vertana: A clean install of 8.10 after that, that is.
[01:20] <istvan_> so I do need to install a ssh server? does the os come with one?
[01:20] <gnutron> mrpockets: it should be off by default unless you enabled root, if sshd is not running its a moot issue, not to worry.
[01:21] <rww> tom0360: Default Ubuntu installs don't have the root account enabled, so you can't login to it over ssh even if PermitRootLogin (or whatever it is) is enabled in sshd_config.
[01:21] <Dr_willis> istvan_,  go ask in a mac channel perhaps?
[01:21] <eseven73> linux_guy: try typing 'VirtualBox' in a terminal it is case sensitive
[01:21] <vertana> Onexused: I had that happen to me on a 8.04 install and I had to use a usb keyboard because of a driver issue.
[01:21] <mrpockets> gnutron,  what the hell're you talking about?
[01:21] <tom0360> Ok thanks gnutron and rww
[01:21] <onexused> vertana: Well, like I said, it's fine now, after a clean install (all the same hardware).
[01:22] <vertana> Mrpockets: Please watch your language sometimes children come in here for help as well.
[01:22] <linux_guy> eseven73:  could not find 'VirtualBox'  please reinstall
[01:22] <gnutron> mrpockets: um what part didnt  you get? rww was correct answering you also.
[01:22] <rww> gnutron: mrpockets wasn't the one with the ssh problem, tom0360 was.
[01:22] <mrpockets> its like theres a magnification glass
[01:22] <mrpockets> right
[01:22] <mrpockets> my SSH works fine thank you :-p
[01:22] <eseven73> linux_guy: O.o how did you install it exactly?
[01:23] <gnutron> rww: argh, thanks
[01:23] <gnutron> mrpockets: sorry
[01:23] <mrpockets> lol
[01:23] <mrpockets> not a problem
[01:23] <rww> gnutron: no problem, happens to me all the time :)
[01:23] <vertana> Onexused: The only thing that jumps out at me as obvious is that (If I remember right) from 8.04 to 8.10 Ubuntu switched to the evdev driver to improve hotplugging and so your drivers may have not uninstalled for the new one to come in and your X may have gotten "confused" between the two.
[01:23] <linux_guy> i tried add/remove, didnt work, then removed it.  then i got the package from virtualbox.org
[01:23] <gnutron> rww: i spilled coffee and got side tracked
[01:24] <tom0360> rww is there anything in a default install that I might need to disable or change to secure the system.
[01:24] <linux_guy> esev, i've tried every way i know how, it shows up in the apps menu
[01:24] <onexused> vertana: I see.  That might be a useful thing to look into if it happens again.
[01:24] <eseven73> linux_guy: ah it's best to use the one in the repos...
[01:24] <linux_guy> from add/remove?
[01:24] <beckster> hey guys, so I hit windows + r and it does a crazy thing to my screen.. how do I undo it?
[01:24] <linux_guy> or apt-get?
[01:24] <vertana> Onexused: That's not 100% , just what jumps out at me as an abvious culrpit, so YMMV. BUt next time trydoing an lsmod and seeing if your old driver is still trying to be used.
[01:24] <vertana> obvious*
[01:25] <eseven73> linux_guy: i dont think it matters
[01:25] <Dr_willis> beckster,  crazty as in? Sounds like a compiz thing also..
[01:25] <rww> tom0360: Nope, the defaults are pretty secure as they are.
[01:25] <onexused> vertana: okay.  thanks for the info.
[01:25] <vertana> Onexused: No problem. ^^
[01:25] <beckster> Dr_willis: umm it makes my screen move around with my mouse, and my screen to big for the monitor
[01:25] <tom0360> rww, ok thanks. read through some online checklists, but most seemed to be none existant, or already set
[01:26] <vertana> Beckster: I apologize I came in late, what is the problem?
[01:26] <Dr_willis> beckster,  you meant o say it 'zoomed' in on the desktop?
[01:26] <beckster> yes
[01:26] <Dr_willis> thats a compiz feature. :) try windowshey+mousewheel  to zoom in/out perhaps?
[01:26] <gnutron> beckster: i think Dr_willis is right, sounds like a compiz key-binding
[01:27] <Dr_willis> i will say that win+r dont do anything here.. buti do disable a lot of the compiz extras
[01:27] <Dr_willis> win+mousewheel does zoom however in and out :)
[01:27] <beckster> thanks guys!
[01:28] <Dr_willis> there really need to be a nice tool that reads the compiz settings/conmfigs and shows a  guide to what all keys are bound to what featrues.
[01:28] <gnutron> i never use the 'windows' key..... bad mojo
[01:28] <Dr_willis> gnutron,  its the only key on this keyboard thats not got all the letters wornm off :)
[01:28] <vertana> There is dr_willis, it's just no installed by default. CCMS if i remember right.
[01:28] <gnutron> Dr_willis: no doubt i can understand why.!
[01:29] <rww> !ccsm
[01:29] <vertana> I never use the Windows key either, supers always lead me jacked up settings :)
[01:29] <Dr_willis> vertana,  ccsm dosent give a nice clean 'all the keys being used are ....' type  sheet i could print out /look out to fgure out what bindings are in use. :) ive had to excplore ccsm befor to figure them out. which is not that good a way to do it
[01:29] <vertana> rww: Thanks, not ccms, but ccsm.
[01:30] <opera> hello ,everyone,who can tell me how change the resolusion of monitor?
[01:30] <DasEI> how do I put a letter from ascii tab in terminal ?
[01:31] <vertana> Dr_Willis: Ah, I thought were talking more of a compartmented guide to the keys that are assigned. In which case CCSM works, but for a nice list of them, you're right.
[01:31] <InterGalactic010> I'd like to know the same information as opera.  Thanks
[01:31] <DasEI> !resolution | opera
[01:31] <gnutron> opera: good place to check out- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#Screen%20Resolution
[01:31] <silentContender> What module does a Trendnet wireless usb adapter use ( the chipset is rtl8187b)?
[01:31] <Dr_willis> vertana,  yea - a tool that would just print out a html page of  'zoom in/out    mouse+winkey'    and so forth.. would be handy fo these new guys at work
[01:32] <ph8> what's xinerama a part of? xserver-xorg
[01:32] <gnutron> opera: also in the menu system/preferences/screen resolution.
[01:32] <ph8> ?
[01:32] <vertana> Dr_Willis: Either that or even a simple inclusion of CCSM so that we could give people a place to start would be nice. As it stands in Ubuntu, while Compiz is enabled by default, there is no default tool to help with Compiz key bindings (just general Gnome bindings).
[01:32] <gnutron> ph8: thats for multiple monitors i believe.. not xserver
[01:33] <DasEI> µ  is 230 is deci and E6h in hex, how to print in trml ?
[01:33] <ph8> will i have a xinerama package then?
[01:33] <silentContender> I'm having trouble getting the Trendnet usb adapter to work.  (Have connection, but no internet or pings)
[01:33] <InterGalactic010> Hi all, I have to boot into Safe Graphics Mode each time I start the system, I load the Nvidia drivers successfully in Safe Graphics Mode, but after a reboot it will only work if I boot into Safe Graphics Mode again, and this seems to bypass the Nvidia graphics drivers I installed.  Any help really appreciated.  Thanks.
[01:33] <DasEI> !xinerama | ph8
[01:33] <opera> when ,i reboot my computer, i find the resolusion has change,and  i can't find the fit resolusion
[01:34] <gnutron> ph8: in a terminal type dpkg -s xinerama   that will tell you.
[01:34] <ph8> thx
[01:34] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> opera, System/Prefeneces/Screen Resolution.
[01:35] <vertana> silentcontender: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=linux+module+rtl8187b&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=  << Google is your friend in these situations.
[01:35] <vertana> Silentcontender: Try the instructions on the first hit.
[01:35] <Miesco> Yo what do I use to scan shit?
[01:35] <Miesco> gnomescan
[01:35] <rww> !scan | Miesco
[01:36] <Dr_willis> Miesco,  care to clarify that a bit more and use better language..
[01:36] <rww> !ohmy | Miesco
[01:36] <vertana> Miesco: Please watch language here. And what type of stuff?
[01:36] <InterGalactic010> opera did you manage to install the graphics drivers in Safe Graphics mode???
[01:36] <opera> courps3, I do this ,but can't find the fit .i need 1024*768, but there are only have 800*600
[01:37] <silentContender> vertana: I'll try it, but on http://wireless.kernel.org they list my wireless (TEW-424UB) as using zd1211rw
[01:37] <wat> i got a metallic blue ds lite :D
[01:39] <linxuz3r> how do i copy files and folder with rights owner and permission?
[01:39] <wat> right click+copy
[01:39] <InterGalactic010> Hi everyone, would anyone be free to help on a quick question I have please?
[01:39] <vertana> Silent: I don't know too much about that (as I Have not tried that USB adaptor myself), but I do know zd1211rw is more tailored for another chipset, and the chipset you are trying to use has its own specific driver. In almost all cases it makes more sense to use the driver specifically made for it. Also, the first hit someone had to modify the source so while YMMV it is a good idea to try the instructions first hit and if not just keep a tab on what modul
[01:39] <vertana> es it inserted so you can take them out if they do not work as promised. (keep tabs with lsmod before and after installation)
[01:41] <InterGalactic010> Hi everyone
[01:41] <wat> hi intergalactic010
[01:41] <vertana> Inter: Hi! How may we help you? ^^
[01:41] <InterGalactic010> Hi Wat, thought I was talking to myself back then.
[01:41] <squirt33> where is the jaunty jackalope source repository?
[01:41] <wat> whats the problem
[01:41] <gnutron> linxuz3r: cp -p  preserves permissions
[01:41] <InterGalactic010> I have to boot into Safe Graphics Mode each time I start the system, I load the Nvidia drivers successfully in Safe Graphics Mode, but after a reboot it will only work if I boot into Safe Graphics Mode again, and this seems to bypass the Nvidia graphics drivers I installed.  Any help really appreciated.  Thanks.
[01:41] <vertana> Inter: I apologize for that; I was helping someone else momentarily :)
[01:41] <wat> i dont have ubuntu installed so i will help the best i can
[01:41] <InterGalactic010> Hi Vertana
[01:41] <silentContender> vertana: How would I get the build-essentials download (the wireless is for another computer, no internet connection)
[01:42] <wat> what happens if you dont boot safe graphics
[01:42] <InterGalactic010> I'm new to this IRC chat, didn't know if I was coming through.  All good.
[01:42] <linxuz3r> gnutron: what about user and owner
[01:42] <InterGalactic010> Wat, the computer screen goes black after loading up, I can get to a terminal screen
[01:42] <vertana> Silent: The only thing I can tell you to get packages with no 'net connection would be to go packages.ubuntu.com and find the build-essentials pkg for your architecture and distro version. Then take it back to the original computer.
[01:43] <InterGalactic010> by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1
[01:43] <silentContender> thanks
[01:43] <kesi> Can anyone recommend an alternative bittorrent client to vuze that has a plugin like moblock, safepeer, or peerguardian and that runs on ubuntu?
[01:43] <gnutron> linxuz3r: yeah it should preserve those also
[01:43] <vertana> Silent: the packages on the website are the same ones you can get from official repositories.
[01:43] <silentContender> inter: sorry about interrupting
[01:43] <Ketrel> Has anyone figured out anything about the problem with blank TTYs with nvidia drivers?
[01:43] <temppy> kesi: have you tried deluge?  I don't know what those are...
[01:43] <drash> kesi: transmission and deluge seems to fit that bill
[01:43] <InterGalactic010> I have spent 9hrs so far, getting the drivers installed, and setting up Ubuntu.  Good fun, but not getting very far at present
[01:44] <kesi> temppy, drash, I'll look into those thanks
[01:44] <opera> i always want to know how you type the name whom you talk to ?
[01:44] <vertana> Inter: What graphics card do you have? I have a 6150LE and I cannot restart X or even logout (A bug with the actual hardware).
[01:44] <gnutron> opera: type the first few letters and hit the tab key
[01:45] <vertana> opera: it's more a custom/courtesy thing to do to avoid confusion.
[01:45] <gnutron> vertana: well put
[01:45] <InterGalactic010> I have NVidia 8600 GTX - I have downloaded the drivers from the nvidia site, and they install well, and the screen then goes to maximum res.  Only problem is, it doesn't seem to save the config to disk.
[01:45] <opera> gun_ ,thank you
[01:45] <joe2> hi guys been using ubuntu for a week and I love it, but I am having a little trouble with it, I have a intel 64 bit processor so I need help installing the 64 bit swfdec drivers.
[01:46] <jedi06> I'm on vbox host:XP guest:ubuntu  I'm trying to make a shared folder on XP that both can access.  I am trying to use ntfs-3g but it has almost non-existent usage docs: http://www.ntfs-3g.org/index.html#usage  Can someone help me set this up?
[01:46] <vertana> Inter: Have you tried the drivers in the repo?
[01:46] <tecredra> how do i put a .desktop file to a certain category of the applications menu? i've added Category=AudioVideo; to it but it will not appear there. do i need to somehow refresh it?
[01:46] <vertana> gnutron: Thank you.
[01:46] <gnutron> InterGalactic010: have you run nvidia-settings, i dont run nvidia but i think its a good thing
[01:46] <InterGalactic010> I ought to point out, I'm running of a 4gb usb drive.  It has all the space available on it.
[01:46] <joe2> yeah I cant find though
[01:46] <joe2> dont know how to search for them
[01:46] <InterGalactic010> vertana, I have.
[01:46] <linux_guy> wat, you here?
[01:46] <InterGalactic010> gnutron, I have.
[01:46] <vertana> Inter: Did you have the same issues with that driver?
[01:47] <linux_guy> divxjunky is a cool nick
[01:47] <gnutron> InterGalactic010: that could be a flash drive issue, i have no experience with that.
[01:47] <Brack10> Hi is it possible to set the balance of audio output via the mplayer command?  the man page only tells you how to do it on video capture and after the program starts as far as I can tell
[01:47] <DivXjunky> hi guys
[01:47] <drash> InterGalactic010: did you activate the restricted driver applet and checked if something isn't activated ?
[01:47] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> erm, i feel extreamly newb, folder vnc* is owneed by courpse, yet i cant rm -r it, denied permission.
[01:47] <DasEI> how do I put a letter from ascii tab in terminal ?
[01:47] <InterGalactic010> Those drivers, plus the ones under [hardware driver] update do not work at all, even under safe graphics mode.
[01:47] <vertana> Inter: Notice we all want to know if you have tried more than one driver (to see if it is a hardware issure)
[01:48] <kesi> drash, transmission doesn't seem to support any blocklists
[01:48] <rebel> hi, where can I find information about ubuntu-supported monitors? in particular, I need to know if the Samsung Ubisync 7" USB monitor (ships with SyncMaster 2263DX) works
[01:48] <dayo_> tecredra: .desktop file would be a hidden file. any file beginning with dot it hidden
[01:48] <drash> kesi: it sure does, look under prefs, i believe it's the network tab
[01:48] <DasEI> !hardware | rebel
[01:48] <gnutron> CoUrPsE|DeAd: try rm -rf  or sudo rm -rf
[01:48] <__dean__> DasEI: CTRL-SHIFT-U, then asicc code in hex
[01:48] <InterGalactic010> drash, what do you mean isn't activated?  The drivers I DL from nvidia are activated in safe graphics mode, just not after a reboot.
[01:48] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> yeah, but cant empty it from trash.
[01:48] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> how can i empty trash as root?
[01:48] <tecredra> dayo_: that's not what i meant. i have a shortcut to my media player in wine, foobar2000.desktop, and i want to put it into the sound & video menu
[01:48] <Brack10> man moc
[01:48] <Brack10> oops
[01:49] <drash> InterGalactic010: I meant to ask if they are active in that hardware drivers thingy, on xubuntu here, migth differ somewhat
[01:49] <dayo_> CoUrPsE|DeAd: careful with that rm -rf
[01:49] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> yeah anno.
[01:49] <gnutron> CoUrPsE|DeAd: the trash is buggy usually it will be empty when x restarts, i never use the trash myself
[01:49] <InterGalactic010> vertana, don't believe it is a hardware issue.  As in the graphics card works well, under windows, and also in safe graphics mode with nvidia drivers installed.
[01:49] <joe2> I need help finding the swfdec drivers from the repo,
[01:49] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> ahh right, k sorted then.
[01:49] <rebel> DasEI: thx, though there's no information about monitors
[01:50] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> Theres prob my problem then.
[01:50] <InterGalactic010> drash, they seem activated to me.
[01:50] <gnutron> CoUrPsE|DeAd: yeah be very careful using sudo, shouldnt need it
[01:50] <SJr|Work> Why does anyone care about how long it takes Ubuntu to get started, I think either your machine stays on all the time, or it is in standby or hibernate and already fast.
[01:50] <rodolfo_> hello there
[01:50] <drash> InterGalactic010: any clues in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[01:50] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> yep, im not that noob, just something that was buging me.
[01:50] <dayo_> tecredra: don't have any real experience with wine. sorry
[01:50] <gnu2it2> can you use nice  on an already running process ?
[01:50] <lifenova> SJr|Work: some people use laptops and keep their computer on
[01:50] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> thanks guys, :)
[01:50] <InterGalactic010> drash, interesting, I'll give it another go, and then check the log.
[01:50] <DasEI> __dean__:googled that before, doesn't work (E6h) http://users.physik.fu-berlin.de/~goerz/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/ascii.gif
[01:50] <gnutron> CoUrPsE|DeAd: its definetly buggy, the trash business that is.
[01:50] <lifenova> SJr|Work: can't* keep their computer on
[01:51] <NodeRazor> Hi guys =)
[01:51] <vertana> Inter: Have you tried running nvidia-xconfig? IF that does not work dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg (as root and only if you're in 8.10 should you use that switch) and then manually insert "nvidia" under driver.
[01:51] <tecredra> dayo_: well it shouldn't really matter if it's wine or not in regard of adding a .desktop file to the applications menu
[01:51] <SJr|Work> lifenova why not standby or hibernate?
[01:51] <bonhoffer> what is the best way to create an iso in gnome?
[01:51] <dayo_> lifenova: yes i rarely switch of my laptop
[01:51] <bonhoffer> would rather not use command prompt?
[01:51] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> Right, didnt know that.
[01:51] <NodeRazor> Any one know how to extract rar and zip files in multiple folders ?
[01:51] <NodeRazor> I know I need to use something like exec()
[01:51] <drash> InterGalactic010: gdluck, can be quite the log but lok for (WW) and esp. (EE) lines
[01:51] <lifenova> SJr|Work: I'm not sure as I don't have a laptop, but personally using standby/hibernate on my desktop is very buggy
[01:51] <SJr|Work> Weaksause
[01:52] <__dean__> bonhoffer: dd if=/dev/cdrom0 of=image.iso bs=2k
[01:52] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> NodeRazor, trying using `rar` sudo apt-get install rar
[01:52] <vertana> lifenova: This is a common problem, especially if you use an NVIDIA card.
[01:52] <__dean__> bonhoffer: in terminal
[01:52] <NodeRazor> =) Thanks but I already have rar
[01:52] <backenfutter> I was wondering, can somebody here explain to me the color codes of the diagrams in htop?
[01:52] <vertana> NodeRazor: Don't forget unrar also.
[01:52] <NodeRazor> What I am asking is how to extract files from sub-folders
[01:52] <NodeRazor> I have unrar
[01:52] <NodeRazor> =)
[01:52] <dayo_> lifenova: exactly. i don't standy/hibernate. just lock screen and close my lid for transport.
[01:53] <__dean__> bohoffer: or use rightclick on icon, copy disk
[01:53] <jedi06> Not even one person can help me?
[01:53] <temppy> dayo_: isnt that bad for HDDs?
[01:53] <InterGalactic010> Thanks everyone for your help!  I'm off to try Vertana's advice, and also check the log file Drash mentions.  Thanks again.
[01:53] <NodeRazor> so if I write a shell script for example and run like unrar [folder] it will unrar all the files in the folder and sub-folders automaticly.
[01:53] <dayo_> temppy: it is? how come?
[01:53] <vertana> NodeRazor: When you say subfolders, are we talking about going into a rar file and extracting sub directory B w/o directory A?
[01:53] <vertana> InterGalactic010: Goodluck!
[01:54] <NodeRazor> no
[01:54] <mib_xmowur6k> i am getting this error on  start up "failed to load the nvidia kernel module" anyone know why or how to fix it
[01:54] <NodeRazor> Its ok, I'll find it.
[01:54] <NodeRazor> I found this small script before, just need to due more digging.
[01:54] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k: sudo modprobe nvidia
[01:54] <NodeRazor> extract all Folders Recursively
[01:55] <NodeRazor> and sub-folders
[01:55] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> um.
[01:55] <temppy> dayo_: well, a HDD has the spinning disc, with the magnetic head.  I thought that if you jostle it (like transporting a running laptop), you risk having the head run into the disk.
[01:55] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> using rar e file.rar
[01:55] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k: IF that does not work try reinstalling the nvidia drivers and making sure they are enabled under Restricted Drivers.
[01:55] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> it extracts files + subdirs.
[01:55] <dayo_> temppy: i hadn't even considered that
[01:55] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> assumeing you have 'rar' installed.
[01:55] <NodeRazor> it extracts files + files in subfolders yes
[01:55] <wat> unrar hehe
[01:56] <vertana> CoUrPsE|DeAd: He had rar and unrar installed.
[01:56] <NodeRazor> =) thanks wat but I know that much LOL
[01:56] <wat> i was saying hehe at unrar
[01:56] <mib_xmowur6k> vertana: thanks but i get this error "FATAL: Module nvidia not found."
[01:56] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> Humm.
[01:56] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k: If that is the case you do not have the NVIDIA drivers properly installed.
[01:56] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> then weird, coz rar e filenzme.rar has always doe it for me.,
[01:57] <dayo_> temppy: but i read somewhere recently that laptops now have some kind of anti-fall protection for the hdd. like when there is sudden motion, the head backs off the disk. not sure how it works. i'll see if i can find the article. saw it on reddit.
[01:57] <temppy> dayo_: I guess just make sure to have backups.  I mean, if it works for you, why not?  But, I think there is some sort of risk.  I don't know at all how big it is.  I think its why SSDs are becoming popular for laptops/netbooks; no moving parts.
[01:57] <NodeRazor> not if you want to extract lots of files...
[01:57] <kesi> drash, in transmission?
[01:57] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k: Have you tried to install them Administration > Hardware Drivers?
[01:57] <temppy> dayo_: probably an accelerometer.
[01:57] <dayo_> temppy: SSDs still have the size issue, tho
[01:57] <lifenova> dayo: I've read that before too... problem with that I've heard is that sometimes it's a little sensitive and slows you down when you're legitimately working
[01:57] <temppy> yeah
[01:57] <dayo_> temppy: yeah
[01:57] <kesi> drash, nevermind, think I found it.
[01:57] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k: Just go under there and it should say Nvidia driver (recommended) and make sure it is activated and it may require a restart.
[01:58] <NodeRazor> http://paste2.org/p/131046
[01:58] <Miesco> I messed up alsa, I deleted .asoundrc.asoundconf
[01:58] <Miesco> How do I get it to work again?
[01:58] <NodeRazor> this will extract rar files in the folder
[01:58] <drash> kesi: it's the "peers" tab sorry in transmission prefs
[01:58] <dayo_> lifenova: yeah i was wondering about that
[01:58] <NodeRazor> but now I need to be able to extract files in sub-folders too
[01:58] <NodeRazor> without changing to that folder manually =)
[01:58] <mib_xmowur6k> vertana: hmmmm i installed them in synaptic package manager, what else can i do to install or check there installed
[01:58] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k: Give me one second and I'll look for you.
[01:59] <gnutron> Miesco: run asoundconf from a terminal,  asoundconf --help
[01:59] <illume> hi.  how to install realtime-lsm in intrepid?
[01:59] <mib_xmowur6k> vertana: thanks alot, this is giving me such a headache
[01:59] <illume> realtime-lsm-source doesn't appear to exist anymore in intrepid?
[02:00] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k: The MAIN package you need is nvidia-glx-177 (If you have a newer card, which most do) and it's no problem. SYnaptic should tell you all the other packages you need to make the glx one work.
[02:00] <linux_guy> im downloading vmware for linux, should i get tar image or rpm image?
[02:00] <illume> hrmm... maybe a reboot will fix it!   brb
[02:00] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k: Generally though it's MUCH easier to do under Hardware Drivers (or Restricted Drivers if you have an older Ubuntu)
[02:00] <__dean__> linux_guy: get the tarball
[02:00] <n8tuser> linux_guy -> for ubuntu, it is deb, for other linux maybe rpm
[02:00] <lifenova> Can anyone help with usplash troubles? It hasn't worked for me since I install ubuntu hardy... I've now upgraded to 8.10 and it still hasn't worked... I've tried removing the package and reinstalling, and I've changed the theme too to no avail. I remember that the splash did show when I was using the LiveCD. Not a major problem, but something I want to try to fix
[02:01] <__dean__> linux_guy: you could get the rpm and convert it with alien also
[02:01] <linux_guy> im so confused i know a prog called alien that can convert rpm to deb
[02:01] <lifenova> By not working, I mean that there is no splash screen, just a black screen while the system boots
[02:01] <NodeRazor> Found one for tar.z files, now will recoded it http://paste2.org/p/131047
[02:01] <Cpudan80> lifenova: easy fix
[02:01] <Scunizi> I'm trying to configure a fax modem.. how do I discover it tty location?
[02:01] <Cpudan80> !broken-usplash | lifenova
[02:01] <__dean__> linux_guy: You can use alien or you can use the tarball and compile from source
[02:01] <Cpudan80> argh
[02:01] <__dean__> linux_guy: either one will work
[02:01] <Cpudan80> lifenova: uno momento por favor
[02:01] <linux_guy> ok thanks
[02:01] <mib_xmowur6k> vertana: ok i will have a try, i am using a fresh install of 10.8 (not upgrade) and its a Geforce 8600M GT
[02:01] <linux_guy> thanks guys
[02:01] <lifenova> Cpudan80: sure thing, thanks for your help
[02:02] <Cpudan80> lifenova: that used to be the factoid.....
[02:02] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k: Yes, 177 is the driver you need.
[02:02] <Cpudan80> !about
[02:02] <Cpudan80> lifenova: I didnt need the -

[02:03] <dayo_> lol
[02:03] <anna> for a dektop that has 8GB of ram which version of linux kernel is best 64 bit or 32bit with PAE ?
[02:03] <lifenova> Cpudan80: hehe, I just found that myself on the factoids page. Thanks for your assistance :)
[02:03] <Cpudan80> lifenova: thats my factoid! :-P
[02:03] <Cpudan80> That was a pain in the butt to find the answer too
[02:03] <dayo_> anna: anything above 4gb is 64bit territory
[02:03] <Cpudan80> to*
[02:03] <vertana> anna: to utilize the RAM 64-bit.
[02:03] <varun> guys how do you change what interface the system sounds use?
[02:03] <Cpudan80> A lot of people with laptops seem to have the usplash prob
[02:04] <anna> ok
[02:04] <dayo_> anna: i have that issue on our servers. they're upwards of 8gb ram but on 32bit. need to migrate them to 64bit
[02:04] <lifenova> Cpudan80: desktop here, but whatever
[02:04] <vertana> Cpudan80: That's weird. That's the only problem I've never had on a laptop lol.
[02:04] <Alex_21> Hi, all. Is there a guide for configuring Dansgardian and another server to limit the use of bandwidth for particular computers?
[02:04] <Alex_21> Thanks
[02:04] <Alex_21> Please
[02:04] <Alex_21> Lol
[02:04] <FloodBot1> Alex_21: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:04] <varun> like the sound in rythmbox works, but not the sound from the system (eg Login sound) or firefox, any ideas?
[02:04] <Cpudan80> lifenova: well that seems to fit your description anyway (the problem that is)
[02:04] <dayo_> Alex_21: squid?
[02:04] <anna> dayo:would a 32 bit enable kernel use all the 8GB of ram ?
[02:04] <linux_guy> when i use apt-get do i ALWAYS need to use 'sudo'?
[02:04] <temppy> anna: I thinks both have their problems.  Ive heard pae is buggy, but so is 64bit.  Do you really need all that RAM?  Are you running a server or something?
[02:05] <dayo_> anna: not that i know of
[02:05] <vertana> varun: does the sound work on other program even when rhythmbox is not on?
[02:05] <lifenova> linux_guy: you don't need sudo if you type apt-get moo or apt-get --help, if I recall correctly
[02:05] <nickrud> linux_guy, yes
[02:06] <lifenova> Hm, the xres and yres parameters in my usplash.conf file match the resolution I'm currently using
[02:06] <gnutron> varun: in the menu system/preferences/sound sound tab and run the tests. also ensure you use alsa in general tab settings.
[02:06] <Alex_21> Hey, maybe Squid, but a tutorial is greatly appreciated, or at least suggestions for search keywords would be appreciated
[02:06] <mib_xmowur6k> vertana: although it says done at the end, if get this error in the details section
[02:06] <andypls1> guys my resolution is screwed
[02:06] <anna> temppy:its my brother's gaming PC that he had vista on i am going to use as a desktop for developing apps (postgresql, mysql,etc..)
[02:06] <andypls1> can anyone help me fix it?
[02:06] <vertana> varun: Sometimes Gstreamer conflicts with some other sound systems (This happens to me if  I have VLC up and then try to play a song on rhythmbox with VLC still up)
[02:06] <__dean__> linux_guy: not for apt-get moo but you for installing stuff because that needs root
[02:06] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k:  Which error?
[02:07] <varun> vertana: it dosnt work with rythmbox turned off
[02:07] <dayo_> Alex_21: hang on, let me give u some of my squid bookmarks
[02:07] <lifenova> !ask | andypls1
[02:07] <nickrud> linux_guy, a rule of thumb is anything that alters/adds any file outside of your home requires root access, either with sudo or gksu
[02:07] <mib_xmowur6k> vertana: error could not locate nvidia.ko for module nvidia in the dkms tree
[02:07] <linxuz3r> whats a good way to copy directories and files while preserving root and permission?
[02:07] <gnutron> lifenova: moo  = command not found, my box is broked :(  j/k
[02:07] <varun> vertana: i think it is an interface issue,
[02:07] <lifenova> gnutron: haha
[02:07] <mib_xmowur6k> vertana: then is goes on about running a dkms build for the kernel
[02:08] <andypls1> lifenova: my resolution got stuck at 800x600 and there's no way to fix it. i am using Nvidia
[02:08] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k: sudo aptitude install dkms
[02:08] <__dean__> gnutron: apt-get moo just draws an ASCII art picture of a Ccow
[02:08] <varun> vertana: like that is, only one of the interface works, in Soud Preferences in gnome, sound only works if i put it in HDA Intel OSS
[02:08] <varun> vertana: on the other interfaces, it makes a clicky noise
[02:08] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k: Yes, DKMS is so stuff can be inserted into kernel while it's running. You need this to insert modules dynamically.
[02:08] <gnutron> __dean__: i wouldnt be surprised if it actually did!
[02:08] <varun> vertana: and thats exactly the same noise i get with ubuntu system sounds such as the login sound
[02:09] <jackson_> ckson
[02:09] <Jack_Sparrow> andypls1, HAve you installed nvidia-settings
[02:09] <temppy> anna: personally, I would forget about the 5g of ram you loose, and just go with 32bit for starters (I have never used much more and 0.5g.  The rest of my 2g just goes to caching).  If you need more, reinstall.  Anyway, good luck
[02:09] <vertana> varun: So, rhythmbox works fine for sound, but NOTHING else does?
[02:09] <andypls1> Jack_Sparrow: yes i did
[02:09] <linxuz3r> whats a good way to copy directories and files while preserving root and permission?
[02:09] <andypls1> apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[02:09] <Jack_Sparrow> andypls1, what happened when you ran it
[02:09] <andypls1> well at first the resolution was too high
[02:09] <vertana> linuxuz3r: Just use the cp command as root.
[02:09] <andypls1> and i didn't like it
[02:10] <varun> vertana: oh no most of the applications works with sound like vlc..etc....but sound dosnt work from firefox and system sounds (again such as when i login the noise dosnt work)
[02:10] <usser> linxuz3r: cp -R -p
[02:10] <gnutron> linxuz3r: cp -p  didnt preserve stuff for you?
[02:10] <Jack_Sparrow> andypls1, Keep it on one line please, dont break it up
[02:10] <andypls1> so then i tried to get to a better resolution by changing some settings, and now it got stuck at 800X600
[02:10] <varun> vertana: i hear clicky noises instead
[02:10] <usser> linxuz3r: -p tells cp to preserve permissions -R, tells to copy recursively
[02:10] <vertana> varun: I don't know off the top of my head but give me a few minutes and hopefully the 'net helps us here :)
[02:10] <andypls1> Jack_Sparrow:ok
[02:11] <linxuz3r> guys cp: failed to preserve ownership
[02:11] <bthompson> i am looking for an app like quicksilver for mac and or launchy for pc...what is the best solution for a program like this for ubuntu
[02:11] <__dean__> linxuz3r: cp -rp also works -- you can combine the arguments and the r can be lowercase
[02:11] <linxuz3r> guys
[02:11] <linxuz3r> guys cp: failed to preserve ownership
[02:11] <Jack_Sparrow> andypls1, run nvidia-settings and set the res you want
[02:11] <__dean__> linxuz3r: try it as root
[02:12] <mib_xmowur6k> vertana: still saying "Module nvidia not found." when i run sudo modprobe nvidia
[02:12] <nickrud> linxuz3r, are you copying to an ntfs/vfat partition?
[02:12] <mib_xmowur6k> vertana: should i restart first
[02:12] <usser> bthompson: gnome-do i think is what you looking for, for kde3 katapult does it, kde4 has it built in
[02:12] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k: Once you have DKMS then try to install Nvidia from Square 1.
[02:12] <varun> vertana: i remember reading an article about something similar, it went on about the sound card not supporting a frequency....i'll try to find that link, not sure if i can
[02:12] <linxuz3r> nickrud: yes
[02:13] <andypls1> Jack_Sparrow: its telling me that i am not using the Nvidia driver, and i have to edit the X cofiguration file
[02:13] <__dean__> linxuz3r: then do just cp -r
[02:13] <nickrud> linxuz3r, those don't use unix file permissions, it's normal
[02:13] <linxuz3r> im copying to fat32
[02:13] <linxuz3r> but im copying it back to ext3
[02:13] <drash> varun: concerning system sounds, there's this interesting bug at launchpad you might have a look at --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcanberra/+bug/273507
[02:13] <nickrud> linxuz3r, using vfat as sort of a backup?
[02:14] <vertana> varun: under Sound preferences make sure all sound tests work. IF not select proper system and then test to make sure all work.
[02:14] <linxuz3r> fat32
[02:14] <mib_xmowur6k> vertana: how can i check if i have the dkms installed properly cus i think it is messing up and that is why i am having so many problems.
[02:14] <gnutron> andypls1: grep nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf  see if you get any ouput
[02:14] <__dean__> linuxuz3r: use tar instead
[02:14] <joe_-> I've using the Partition Editor in the Alternate CD and it's not showing all of my partitions I've previously setup
[02:14] <AtomX1211> can someone help me
[02:14] <joe_-> Not even all of my disks.
[02:14] <nickrud> linxuz3r, same thing for what we're talking about
[02:14] <AtomX1211> my wife set my resolution so low I can't set it back
[02:14] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k: lsmod | grep dkms    << that should tell you that dkms is loaded
[02:14] <linxuz3r> vfat is fat32
[02:14] <linxuz3r> ok
[02:14] <Cpudan80> what did she set it to?
[02:14] <AtomX1211> I don't have axcess to the ok button and hitting enter isint working
[02:14] <linxuz3r> i thought their different
[02:14] <dayo_> Alex
[02:14] <dayo_> Alex_21: http://paste.ubuntu.com/105772/
[02:14] <__dean__> linxuz3r: tar -xzpf backup.tar files
[02:14] <nickrud> linxuz3r, no, vfat is fat16 or fat32 :)
[02:14] <bthompson> usser, thanks so much
[02:14] <Dr_willis> AtomX1211,  to drag a window you cant eget to the titlebar/bottom buttons  hold the ALT KEY and click in the middle of the window. You can then grab/move it around. :) if thats the case

[02:14] <andypls1>     Driver         "nv"
[02:14] <gnutron> AtomX1211: apt-get remove wife  ok, enough attempted humor, no offense intended
[02:15] <Jack_Sparrow> andypls1, reinstall the driver so you get the too high of a res again then run nvidia-settings
[02:15] <mib_xmowur6k> vertana: yer i tryed that , but nothing is returned
[02:15] <linxuz3r> __dean__:  thanks
[02:15] <andypls1> gnutron: yes i do get some output
[02:15] <AtomX1211> lol it's cool
[02:15] <AtomX1211> ty willis
[02:15] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k: One second. I'll look into it.
[02:15] <linxuz3r> nickrud: do i need to preserve permission and owners?
[02:15] <varun> vertana: yeap they are all working
[02:15] <dayo_> Alex_21: the commentary in the main config file /etc/squid/squid.conf is great. u learn a lot from that alone.
[02:15] <vertana> varun: Ok, give me one second to help mib.
[02:15] <AtomX1211> you guys are life savers
[02:15] <vertana> We try :)
[02:15] <AtomX1211> Thank you Dr_willis
[02:15] <AtomX1211> lol
[02:15] <varun> i'am installing libcanberra-gnome as recommended by drash. hope this works =P
[02:15] <nickrud> linxuz3r, it's never a bad idea; if you're just storing the files on the vfat for later return and use in ext3 __dean__ has the best advice
[02:16] <Dr_willis> AtomX1211,  that feature has been in Linux for Years. :) i found a tool that adds it to winjdows also. :)
[02:16] <lifenova> Cpudan80: well, that didn't solve it unfortunately. ah well
[02:16] <vertana> varun: OK, let me know if that works for you :)
[02:16] <dayo_> Alex_21: so far the config files of squid and of BackupPC are the best commented that i've seen
[02:16] <AtomX1211> I just started using linux last week
[02:16] <AtomX1211> so it's all still really new to me
[02:16] <gnutron> andypls1: weird it should load, maybe sudo modprobe nv  i'm not an nvidia expert.
[02:16] <Cpudan80> lifenova: yeah sorry - I saw that before my client went on the fritz
[02:16] <andypls1> Jack_Sparrow: should i remove it and then install it again?
[02:16] <Cpudan80> lifenova: you sure x and y aren't reversed?
[02:16] <varun> oh forgot to mention something important, i think this problem arised when i installed KDE package on ubuntu, i'm not sure thou thats just guess, and all the sound works perfectly on KDE but not on gnome
[02:17] <lifenova> Cpudan80: Fairly certain... y should be 768 and x should be 1024, correct?
[02:17] <frederik> hello! how can i define a script to be run on pressing fn+f5?
[02:17] <grindking> varun: because it takes some extra work to get sound working properly sometimes in gnome
[02:17] <Cpudan80> lifenova: ehhh... that's a good question
[02:17] <lifenova> Cpudan80: I even tried lowering it to 800 x 600
[02:17] <grindking> varun: esd runs sounds properly, but isn't better, and that's what kde uses
[02:17] <Cpudan80> lifenova: lemme check
[02:17] <Jack_Sparrow> andypls1, if you install and run nvidia-xconfig it will remove stuff that you will need to put back.  I still dont have a handle on all the ways to untangle these
[02:17] <Cpudan80> !brokenusplash > Cpudan80
[02:17] <usser> frederik: u think those are hardwired, they dont rely on operating system
[02:17] <mib_xmowur6k> vertana: really appreciate you going to so much trouble. i think this could be the root of the problem. the models not getting loaded into the kernal properly / dkms
[02:18] <Cpudan80> lifenova: yeah that's right
[02:18] <Cpudan80> lifenova: So -- is it just that the splash screen doesnt show up?
[02:18] <varun> grindking: haha yeah nah i dont really like kde, just installed to give it a go, it feels really bloated
[02:18] <andypls1> Jack_Sparrow: nvidia-xcofig is installed
[02:18] <lifenova> Cpudan80: yeah.
[02:18] <grindking> varun: i just spent the past two days getting all my sound perfectly setup in gnome
[02:18] <frederik> usser: hm, but other applications (aumixer afair) can intercept fn+volume down.
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> andypls1, runit
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> andypls1, run it
[02:18] <grindking> varun: multiple sounds at the same time, sound with flash, dts/ac3, x264, etc
[02:18] <varun> =(
[02:18] <andypls1> Jack_Sparrow:: when i run a get too many info i don't make any sense of it
[02:18] <grindking> 5.1 output of course, with spdif
[02:18] <Cpudan80> lifenova: And you're running the default screen? IE. No modifications to it or anything
[02:19] <lifenova> Cpudan80: Fairly certain, but I'll verify that
[02:19] <nickrud> frederik, you can write the script, then use  gconf-editor /apps/metacity/global_keybinds and keybinding_commands
[02:19] <lifenova> !usplash > lifenova
[02:19] <vertana> Does anyone here have the "restricted" Nvidia driver installed through Hardware Drivers / Synaptic? Could you please give us a list of  packages that are installed when you search nvidia in Synaptic? (I'm running UBuntu-unsupported drivers so I cannot)
[02:19] <varun> grindking: yeah sound was working flawlessly on gnome before the kde install i rekon
[02:19] <nickrud> frederik, use xev to determine the 0x??? char for the fn-f5 key (hopefully it registers)
[02:19] <varun> guys i might have to purge this install to get it to work haha
[02:19] <Cpudan80> lifenova: thats very odd... when I had the usplash problem, it also booted very slow - do you have that problem ?
[02:19] <ygor> Hello guys...does anyone know how the cedega application works and try to explain me a lilttle bit of it?
[02:19] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k: When someone lists those packages make sure that you have them all installed.
[02:19] <linxuz3r> __dean__: i get errors on the command that you gave me
[02:19] <grindking> vertana: i have them installed i think
[02:20] <Jack_Sparrow> andypls1, it should just rebuild xorg.conf.. so restart X and try nvidia settings again
[02:20] <usser> frederik: i may be wrong
[02:20] <lifenova> Cpudan80: From time to time, it seems somewhat slow. I haven't really timed it per se
[02:20] <andypls1> ok
[02:20] <nickrud> ygor, a better question for #winehq , cedega is just a version of wine
[02:20] <vertana> grindking: Please provide those packages to mib... he's the one who needs to know if all his packages are installed. I appreciate it :)
[02:20] <mib_xmowur6k> fff
[02:20] <frederik> nickrud: usser was right, the keystroke is not being registered :(
[02:20] <frederik> thanks for the help though.
[02:20] <usser> ygor: it translates winAPI to unix system calls basically
[02:20] <mib_xmowur6k> vertana: sorry u list me
[02:21] <grindking> mib_xmowur6k: do you want me to do dpkg -l | grep nvidia and paste that to you or a screenshot of me searching ffor nvidia in synaptic?
[02:21] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k: SHortly grindking should tell you all his packages that he has under nvidia. Make sure they are all installed
[02:21] <Cpudan80> lifenova: hrm..... are you sure you did the file right? should be like xres=1024 <enter key> yres=768
[02:21] <linxuz3r> nickrud: how do i tar it properly
[02:21] <Cpudan80> lifenova: maybe remove the file and see what happens
[02:21] <ygor> nickrud: yeah i have wine and its similars... but im trying to install and play games with cedega, with no sucess..
[02:21] <Cpudan80> lifenova: worst case you have to boot in recovery mode and recreate it
[02:21] <Alex_21> Hi, I want to limit bandwidth usage. What kinds of programs will do this?
[02:21] <vertana> grindking: a screenshot would be nice or just list them with txt to save us from uploading/downloading.
[02:22] <backenfutter> I was wondering, can somebody here explain to me the color codes of the diagrams in htop?
[02:22] <nickrud> linxuz3r, I cd into the dir I'm saving in and   tar cf <filename>.tar /path/to/dir/to/archive
[02:22] <dayo_> Alex_21: http://paste.ubuntu.com/105772/
[02:22] <lifenova> Cpudan80: yes, that's the exact text of the file
[02:23] <Cpudan80> lifenova: hrm.... thats odd .... no other gfx problems ?
[02:23] <linxuz3r> nickrud: whats the difference between .tar and .tar.gz .tar.xy xz and so on?
[02:23] <nickrud> frederik, try ctl-atl-f2, log in and run showkey , then press the fn-5 key, see if you get anything
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> linxuz3r, It can be a problem if your *.tar is in the path of your archive as it will try to archive itself --exclude=path/file
[02:23] <grindking> mib_xmowur6k: im uploading the pic now
[02:23] <lifenova> Cpudan80: not to my knowledge. I think I may have forgotten to run one command (oops!)
[02:23] <__dean__> linxuz3r: tar.gz uses gzip compression
[02:23] <__dean__> linxuz3r: tar.bz3 uses bzip2 compression
[02:24] <Rapture2k4> I'm having a heck of a time with Samba, Swat, and Windows.. anyone have experience?
[02:24] <__dean__> linkuz3r: sorry tar.bz2
[02:24] <linxuz3r> __dean__: whats a good compression to use?
[02:24] <__dean__> linxuz3r: tar.bz2 seems to compress best
[02:24] <Cpudan80> lifenova: lol you forgot to run the command to rebuild the file?
[02:24] <linxeh> __dean__: 7zip is better
[02:24] <Dr_willis> Rapture2k4,  samba can be a rather complex topic. :) the 'samba-doc' package has several books on the topic. Tell the channel your specific problem and we can try to help.
[02:24] <linxuz3r> i think gz is good
[02:24] <wims> !kde > wims
[02:24] <lifenova> Cpudan80: I forgot to run sudo update-usplash-theme usplash-theme-ubuntu
[02:24] <nickrud> linxeh, tar is an uncompressed archive of the directory tree (Tape ARchive), the others are various types of compression applied to the tar (GZip or BZip)
[02:24] <grindking> mib_xmowur6k: http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/6346/screenshot1za8.png
[02:25] <linxuz3r> 7zip is gz?????
[02:25] <__dean__> linxuz3r: tar.gz is faster
[02:25] <mib_xmowur6k> vertana: ok i will wait to get the list, then i will uninstall all nvidia packages and install the same as him
[02:25] <Cpudan80> lifenova: prob dont need it if the file is correct ... but what the hell, can't hurt
[02:25] <linxeh> linxuz3r: bz2 is about 20% better than gz. 7zip is about 10-15% better again
[02:25] <lifenova> Cpudan80: Alright, let me try it again
[02:25] <runderwo> gzip -9
[02:25] <varun> sudo make me coffee
[02:25] <tux9778> hello which one of ubuntu should I get for a x64?
[02:25] <linxeh> er,, I know what tar is
[02:25] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k: ignore the screendimmer and envy entries on that screenshot.
[02:25] <frederik> nickrud: no luck, even with no x-server running
[02:25] <vertana> grindking: THank you, very much!
[02:25] <grindking> im glad i was able to upload the pic
[02:26] <grindking> flash sometimes randomly will crash tinypic and other sites :D
[02:26] <nickrud> ok, you're out of luck it seems
[02:26] <frederik> yeah
[02:26] <linxeh> nickrud: many thanks for telling me (I've only been using tars for 15 years :-))
[02:26] <mib_xmowur6k> grindking: thanks alot, i Will try this and reset the computer back in about 5 min
[02:26] <nickrud> linxeh, change your nick for a bit, will you? I've backspaced over and over it all evening :)
[02:26] <vertana> grindking: I know what you mean. between flickr and imageshack... pretty sure we have 70% of all photographic material mankind ahs to offer :p
[02:26] <vertana> has*
[02:26] <bthompson> anybody have any recommendations for video editing software for ubuntu?
[02:26] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k: Alright, let us know how it works out :)
[02:27] <grindking> vertana: yah i have to wait on this bugfix on flash 10, im running d21, and apparently since i have an older 64bit proc without lahf flag i get random crashes haha
[02:27] <grindking> so all my browsing is an adventure
[02:27] <yimer> hey how do i get java to work for online games on ubuntu
[02:27] <nickrud> rflol
[02:27] <usser> bthompson: cinelerra, kino
[02:27] <gnutron> tux9778: which what for x64?  i think you want the amd64 iso
[02:27] <james|> bah
[02:27] <vertana> grindking: Why don't you downgrade to Flash 9? Same bug or just stubborn? Lol.
[02:27] <mib_xmowur6k> vertana: ok going to try this and back in 5min THANKS ALOT u guys have been alot of help
[02:27] <yimer> hey how do i get java to work for online games on ubuntu
[02:28] <mib_xmowur6k> grindking: BIG HELP, BRB
[02:28] <vertana> mib_xmowur6k:  No problem, it's what the channel is here for :)
[02:28] <grindking> well, im not positive i can get it to work but i guess i COULD do it
[02:28] <Rapture2k4> ok... so i've got a simple topology (2 Vista clients, 1 Ubuntu Server 8.10 [no gui]). On this server I have a WD MyBook USB HD fstabed to /media/WD250. All I want to do is allow ANYONE with a valid ip in my subnet (10.0.0.x/30) to see and read/write to it. I thought I had it up and running, but I cannot write to the drive via network. I have set 'chmod -R 777 /media/WD250'
[02:28] <grindking> also im thinking i can just wait out a fix
[02:28] <tux9778> i tried the x64 alternate hardy but seemed like there was alot of stuff missing in it gnutrom
[02:28] <nickrud> yimer, install   sun-java6-plugin
[02:28] <grindking> it can't be THAT long i wouldn't think
[02:28] <usser> Rapture2k4: use nfs
[02:28] <vertana> grindking: Didn't they just come out with a 64-bit flash?
[02:28] <yimer> how?
[02:28] <usser> Rapture2k4: samba is a pain in the neck
[02:28] <grindking> vertana: haha yah like a month ago :/
[02:28] <grindking> but there's been one release update!
[02:28] <andypls1> who's the guy i was talking with?
[02:29] <__dean__> linxvertana: yes
[02:29] <yimer> nickrud where do i type that
[02:29] <grindking> so i mean, would best bet be that wrapper thing with flash 9?
[02:29] <vertana> grindking: Then it shouldn't be too long for at least a beta of that client. Or at least the next Ubuntu release :p
[02:29] <Rapture2k4> usser: i am a linux newbie, and everything i've read on NFS goes way over my head (which is odd, considering I do networking for a living)
[02:29] <grindking> i could easily try it now that im familar with where all those libs go
[02:29] <gnutron> tux9778: you want the intrepid version of this iso probably- ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
[02:29] <nickrud> !synaptic | yimer (your master control for installing software, ctl-f to search)
[02:29] <vertana> grindking: Lol, I run 64-bit also. Lemme know how that works out! =p
[02:29] <tux9778> u mean gnutrom 8.10 alternate
[02:29] <Rapture2k4> usser: do you have any good newbie-friendly sites on NFS?
[02:29] <grindking> if you have a newer proc or if you cat cpuinfo and it shows lahf
[02:29] <grindking> you won't get the crash
[02:29] <gnutron> tux9778: the amd64 works for intel pc's also btw
[02:30] <linux_guy> how can i tell if i have alien or not?
[02:30] <usser> Rapture2k4: yea sure
[02:30] <grindking> im on an fx55
[02:30] <nickrud> yimer, synaptic can be found at system->admin->synaptic package manager
[02:30] <usser> Rapture2k4: hang on a sec
[02:30] <grindking> linux_guy: the package?
[02:30] <vertana> grindking: I know I don't get the crash. I've been good ever since Flash 9.
[02:30] <grindking> linxuz3r: dpkg -l | grep alien
[02:30] <Rapture2k4> usser: thanx
[02:30] <andypls1> Jack_Sparrow:  are you there?
[02:30] <nickrud> linux_guy, dpkg -l alien , if it is the first two chars will be ii
[02:30] <grindking> vertana: but are you using the native 64bit flash 10, or still with the wrapper?
[02:30] <gnutron> tux9778: 8.10 yes if you want intrepid, as for alternative i'm not sure, thats the iso i use
[02:30] <Jack_Sparrow> andypls1, yes, one sec
[02:30] <linux_guy> yeah i need to convert an rpm to deb
[02:30] <tux9778> i have a amd gnutrom just was wondering if 8.10 is up to date and is there devs on the project x64?
[02:30] <nickrud> !alien | linux_guy
[02:31] <vertana> grindking: Still using the wrapper : /
[02:31] <lifenova> Cpudan80: that didn't work, but I may have just found out why it's not working
[02:31] <nickrud> linux_guy, are you sure you need the rpm? What are you installing?
[02:31] <grindking> vertana: but it works fine? like not choppy, etc?
[02:31] <usser> Rapture2k4: take a look at this, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=249889 and nfs is supported on windows natively, u just have to install microsoft nfs services or something like that
[02:31] <Cpudan80> lifenova: whats that?
[02:31] <Rapture2k4> much luv
[02:31] <tux9778> ok gnutrom i'll try 8.10 see if that helps with my ipod issuses
[02:31] <vertana> grindking: Works just as well as a native 32-bit Windows version (from what I've seen based on Vista).
[02:31] <linux_guy> nick: i need to install vmware.. available in tar or rpm
[02:31] <lifenova> Cpudan80: I found this link http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-937527.html and one of the posts on it says to use sudo usplash to test it... did that and I got a message about a missing console font
[02:31] <grindking> sigh, i was right about to watch a movie too
[02:31] <grindking> now im goign to have to try it :D
[02:31] <vertana> grindking: At least for me... as always YMMV.
[02:32] <rww> !vmware | linux_guy: use these instructions instead
[02:32] <nickrud> linux_guy, get the tar!!! the rpm will break
[02:32] <grindking> well i tihnk the reason i gave up was cuz i was having sound issues
[02:32] <usser> Rapture2k4: and here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324055
[02:32] <grindking> but that was because i didn't have my .asoundrc file setup right
[02:32] <grindking> ill go back to the wrapper for sure
[02:32] <linux_guy> ok
[02:32] <grindking> i think tehre's even a walkthrough on the ubuntu forums for it
[02:33] <vertana> grindking: To be honest I just this computer from my girlfriend's house (Haven't used it since 2006) and everything worked Out of the box. EVERYTHING. Except for Nvidia driver of course.
[02:33] <Rapture2k4> usser: thanx alot, i'm gonna give it a shot
[02:33] <grindking> im trying to use this as my main machine
[02:33] <grindking> gave up a couple years back, trying again now
[02:33] <bthompson> im in add/remove program how do i tell what version of the software im searching is going to install...example i did a search for kino...how do i tell what version is going to install..
[02:33] <vertana> grindking: I did a clean install of 8.10 (last used was 7.04 I think) and flash worked perfect after a ubuntu-restricted-extras install.
[02:33] <guestguestnew> do u guys know of any pdf reader that has a good bookmarking feature that i can install from the repos?
[02:33] <vertana> an*
[02:33] <tux9778> is there a a atheros driver availbe for ar5009 wifi?
[02:34] <linxuz3r> tar.gz is the same as tgz?
[02:34] <nickrud> !hardysources | yimer (good for hardy on up)
[02:34] <Cpudan80> lifenova: interesting ...
[02:34] <andypls1> Jack_Sparrow: things are  better now. the resolutiong is the highest possible, but that's too high for me, it's not like that that it used to be. when i decrease the resolution things get a little better but they are still ugly .when i run "nvidia-settings" it's saying that i am not using Nvidia X driver
[02:34] <vertana> tux9778: I believe mad5k would for that, just google. (I am NOT sure on that)
[02:34] <rodd> I have something weird to ask you
[02:34] <nickrud> yimer, do that, then check synaptic again. You'll need to close synaptic temporarily
[02:34] <vertana> rodd: Shoot.
[02:34] <gnutron> bthompson: apt-cache search [package] will say what version the repo's have.
[02:34] <yimer> kk ty
[02:34] <rodd> Do you know how to develop games for Linux?
[02:34] <linxuz3r> can you append tar files?
[02:35] <linxuz3r> appened to tar files?
[02:35] <Jack_Sparrow> andypls1, How did you install the driver
[02:35] <tux9778> i been googleing it up vertana nothing seems to pop up just posts for it
[02:35] <gnutron> bthompson: dpkg -s package will show installed version of same.
[02:35] <rodd> I've been searching for a while and didn't find anything all over the net....
[02:35] <lifenova> Cpudan80: Just tried to get the error message again, and couldn't. What had happened was that the whole screen went black (I assume it was simulating what usplash should look like) and then I saw plain white text that said something about a missing console font and an invalid argument
[02:35] <vertana> rodd: Sorry, I do not.
[02:35] <bthompson> gnutron,  apt-cache search kino
[02:35] <bthompson> kino - Non-linear editor for Digital Video data
[02:35] <rodd> vertana: I thought it would be hard to find
[02:35] <vertana> tux9778: Sometimes forum posts are the most valuable.
[02:35] <gnutron> linxuz3r: yes you can
[02:35] <bthompson> doesn't show version...i want to make sure that it is the latest version..
[02:35] <andypls1> Jack_Sparrow: apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[02:36] <vertana> rodd: Actually you would be surprised try googling something developing games for linux or programming game linux.
[02:36] <vertana> something ^like
[02:36] <linxuz3r> gnutron: thanks
[02:36] <gnutron> bthompson: ah, no version info, go into synaptic it will show the version there.
[02:36] <Jack_Sparrow> andypls1, Go through the nvidia install tutorial again..
[02:36] <tux9778> ok thanks so i should bookmark the ones that people ased for it and see what happens vertana?
[02:36] <Cpudan80> lifenova: mine just goes black
[02:36] <Jack_Sparrow> !nvidia
[02:36] <linxuz3r> is there a tar viewer that shows you the permission and owner of files and folders?
[02:36] <vertana> rodd: You could even do something such as downloading the source for Battle for Wesnoth or Super Maryo Chronicles and take a look for yourself :)
[02:36] <Cpudan80> lifenova: I assume it will give some error if its bad
[02:36] <rodd> vertana: I've already done that...the point is that I can't find the most simple stuff, like what programming language suits best...LOL
[02:36] <vertana> rodd: That's the beauty of it all ^^
[02:36] <__dean__> linuxuz3r: emacs the tar file
[02:37] <gnutron> linxuz3r: read any tar tutorial, plenty of tricks
[02:37] <nickrud> linxuz3r, right click the file, open with archive manager
[02:37] <andypls1> Jack_Sparrow: what do you mean, i just installed it from adept manger?? i don't have any tutorial
[02:37] <lifenova> cpudan80: hmmm
[02:37] <andypls1> Jack_Sparrow:what did i do wrong?
[02:37] <linxuz3r> nickrud: but it does not show owner and permissions
[02:37] <Jack_Sparrow> !nvidia > andypls1
[02:37] <vertana> rodd: Which language is best for what is always a hot topic. It's best to just go with what you already know. At least if you're just starting out. Learn to optimize large projects later :)
[02:37] <rodd> vertana: I would totally agree if I knew something about programming for linux at all...LOL
[02:37] <lifenova> Cpudan80: I'm going to try restarting one more time, then googling around. if not, no biggie, just a minor aesthetics problem
[02:37] <greensky> I recently upgraded to 4gb of ram and got a dvd burner, but my dvd burner wont work in ubuntu...  "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0" any idas?
[02:38] <andypls1> Jack_Sparrow: now i don't have the drivers installed?
[02:38] <Cpudan80> lifenova: well if you're missing the font -- its easy to get that back
[02:38] <__dean__> linuxuz3r: open it with emacs.
[02:38] <Jack_Sparrow> andypls1, Just looking to have you install them correctly so we can work from there
[02:38] <rodd> vertana: I've been programming for windows for too long...LOL...and I'm afraid of using Java for large projects, if you know what I mean...
[02:38] <__dean__> linxuz3r: if you don't have emacs, do sudo apt-get install emacs
[02:38] <themind> noob here... i need help getting wow to run in WINE
[02:39] <vertana> tux9778: Sorry, I missed your comment earlier. But yes or better, you could go to ubuntuforums.com and search. If nothing comes up post the question yourself. Generally the Ubuntu community if very helpful.
[02:39] <__dean__> linuxuz3r: It will list the files in the archive
[02:39] <themind> if anyone has done it plz msg me
[02:39] <usser> rodd: use C++/qt
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> themind, /join #Winehq
[02:39] <lifenova> themind, you might try asking at #winehq
[02:39] <nickrud> linxuz3r, bummer, you're right
[02:39] <__mikem> rod, don't use C++/qt, Use C++/wxWidgets
[02:39] <usser> hehe
[02:39] <Dr_willis> Ok.. With the Gnome File manager.. if you are in a List View of a Folder.. How do you make a 'New Folder'  - that entry seems to not be there unless you are in ICON view... or i am totally missing it.
[02:39] <__mikem> rodd, ^
[02:39] <tux9778> ok vertana what happens if things dont work in x64 intrepid then what?
[02:40] <rodd> usser: C++ ins an awesome language, but still not the best for programming and testing easily
[02:40] <vertana> rodd: Notice, how people have already chimed in on that... told you, hot topic. Whatever is comfortable amiko ^^
[02:40] <baby14k> hi
[02:40] <guestguestnew> do u guys know of any pdf reader that has a good bookmarking feature that i can install from the repos?
[02:40] <rodd> __mikem same as  for usser, sire
[02:40] <__dean__> linxuz3r: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/File-Archives.html
[02:40] <vertana> tux9778: What wouldn't work? Usually the solution is the same as 32-bit, but depends on what "breaks" :)
[02:40] <rodd> vertana: indeed...I dodn't know that Linux was able to support these languages
[02:40] <__mikem> rodd, its just qt doesn't even use standard C++, qt has to employ its own special preprocessor
[02:41] <vertana> rodd: Sir, Linux supports EVERY language I've heard of.
[02:41] <__mikem> vertana, visual basic 6?
[02:41] <tux9778> ok thans vertana so 64 bit is up to date with the 32 bit version?
[02:41] <vertana> rodd: You just have to sarch the net for good documentation.
[02:41] <rodd> vertana: That's awesome to here...I just need to get myself ready for programming, then...xD
[02:41] <andypls1> Jack_Sparrow: i clicked "enable" in KMenu->System Settings, go to the Advanced tab and click Restricted Drivers.  should i restart to see the changes?
[02:41] <rodd> vertana: hear*
[02:41] <vertana> mikem: Ok, fine anything that MS is not attached to. Better? :p
[02:41] <rodd> ^-^
[02:42] <Jack_Sparrow> andypls1, Sure
[02:42] <__dean__> Dr_willis: do right click, new folder
[02:42] <__mikem> vertana, :)
[02:42] <Dr_willis> __dean__,  its not there in the LIST view..  i will look again for the 10th time. :)
[02:42] <greensky> do I need to do something differently to get a sata cd-burner to mount a drive vs. an ata drive?
[02:42] <andypls1> Jack_Sparrow: ok
[02:42] <greensky> other than the /dev entry?
[02:42] <linxuz3r> thanks guys
[02:43] <__dean__> Dr_willis: File -> Create Folder
[02:43] <__dean__> Dr_willis: Or C-N
[02:43] <vertana> rodd: Ok, Java is cross platform, but C++ is fast (just harder to learn) and python is pretty decent (Once again, subjective everybody has their own opinion).
[02:43] <__dean__> Dr_willis: Ctrl-Shift-N
[02:43] <Dr_willis> __dean__,   the ISSUE seems to be the right click menu  has to Not be over an icon/item to get that menu..  so you do the right click in the blank spaces in Icon view.. but in List view.. theres no blank spaces.. Or so it seems
[02:44] <vertana> grindking: I know I'm late, but nice Desktop btw :p
[02:44] <rodd> vertana: Yeah, I'm a bit sick of Java for huge programs with lots of different classes in different source-codes....C++ is fast but needs either to be distributed on source code or recompiled for every system. and Python is almost the same as C++ in this point...
[02:44] <rodd> vertana: I guess every language has their pros and cons....
[02:45] <__dean__> Dr_willis: You can do it in list view if you right click in a blank space
[02:45] <__dean__> Dr_willis: but there is only a blank space if there is not many files
[02:45] <Dr_willis> __dean__,  what blank space? i right click where it looks like its blank and it select the thing. :) heh  yea...
[02:46] <vertana> rodd: As is always the case. I'm partial to Python, but I like Source Code to look all pretty. Java, the only real hit that comes to mind is speed. And unless you plan on going commercial with your software, distributing source code is no big :)
[02:46] <gnutron> guestguestnew: pdf reader du jour= http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/   they have a .deb that works well.
[02:46] <__dean__> Dr_willis: If you go to a folder where there isn't enough files to fill the window, then there will be a blonk space athe bottom where you can right click and it will work
[02:46] <guestguestnew> gnutron: ok thanks:)
[02:47] <Dr_willis> __dean__,  :) sounds like  a  rough edge.  heh
[02:47] <rodd> vertana: I don't plan on going commercial right now...but I have some source coding I created that I have a special love for it...xD....cant just leave it for everyone to see...xDDD
[02:47] <__dean__> Dr_willis: But otherwise, you can create a new folder from the File menu or using the keyboard shortcut.
[02:47] <vertana> rodd: I won't lie, that's horrible :p  But to each his own ^^
[02:48] <andypls1> Jack_Sparrow: after i did that, xserver couldn't even start, so i had to type "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[02:48] <Aeonis> New prob w/ firefox.  It is opening larger than my res and java doesnt appear to be working.  I just upgraded to 8.10
[02:48] <Aeonis> any ideas?
[02:48] <Dr_willis> __dean__,  where in the file menu? let me look again there
[02:49] <andypls1> Jack_Sparrow:: so now the card is not "enabled", but it is "in use", whereas previously, when i clicked "enable" it was "not in use". what do i do now?
[02:49] <__dean__> Dr_willis: It is below New Tab and New Window
[02:49] <rodd> vertana: I know it's totally horrible :p...even more in the open source community....But I'm still in love with how lovely a nice programming scheme can be
[02:49] <__dean__> Dr_willis: and above Create Document
[02:49] <Rapture2k4> what does this mean? "exportfs: /etc/exports [2]: Neither 'subtree_check' or 'no_subtree_check' specified for export '10.X.X.X/24:/media/WD250'"?
[02:50] <Jack_Sparrow> andypls1, nvidia-settings   tells you what
[02:50] <greensky> what does this mean? isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sr0, iso_blknum=16, block=16  get that when trying to mount a dvd
[02:51] <vertana> rodd: That's ok. The most infuriating thing to ever happen to me was when I was a student in high school and made some 'decent' (Ok I thought it was awesome...), but the second the school found out I was going to put it on the internet as OSS, they claimed the source for their own! Evil... but since I was in 'student' status, they called it a school project and there she goes... It made me mad at the time, but I'm smarter these days :p
[02:51] <vertana> rodd: (Or I"d like to think so anyway) =p
[02:51] <usser> Rapture2k4: its a warning not an error, thats fine it'll work without it
[02:51] <Dr_willis> __dean__,  yea. seems some of the entries in the FILE menu could amost go alongside similer items in the EDIT menu..    Ya move to trash in one.. but empty the trash in the other..
[02:51] <Aeonis> Wait...  java got disabled...but how?
[02:52] <jinja-sheep> vertana: What did you create? ;o
[02:52] <Rapture2k4> what's the warning mean?
[02:52] <andypls1> Jack_Sparrow: that's not helping, i am always getting the same message
[02:52] <__dean__> Dr:willis: using the terminal for file manipulation is better
[02:52] <linxuz3r> is 9.04 released already?
[02:52] <jinja-sheep> !jaunty | linxuz3r
[02:52] <__dean__> linkuz3r: you can upgrade to it but it is an alpha
[02:52] <Dr_willis> __dean__,  shame! turn in your gnome-merit badge! :P
[02:52] <gnutron> vertana: that should be under intellectual property, yours not theirs. sue them they'll back off
[02:52] <ardchoille> linxuz3r: no, it isn't 9.04 yet (April 2009)
[02:53] <rodd> vertana: Interesting thing
[02:53] <__dean__> linkuz3r: to upgrade: sed -i 's/intrepid/jaunty/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:53] <__dean__> rlinxuz3r; but it is alpha so it might not be a good idea
[02:53] <Jack_Sparrow> andypls1, SInce I am not sure what all you have done or tried so far I dont know where to go from here.  I am working on a set of instructions but they are not finished.  If you are not getting an answer and want to continue in PM for a couple minutes I am willing to try

[02:54] <Rapture2k4> anyone know if it is possible to turn the serial port (9-pin joystick COM1) into a 'console' port like on routers?
[02:54] <vertana> jinja-sheep: Just some basic calculators, a nice interface, and a friend made them able to communicate through irc (when the school had its own irc channel). Therefore all the teachers could enter their grades into a website download the students grades as spreadsheets and then be able to enter into calcs to find totals, gpa's, etc. and the irc allowed to teachers to talk amongst each other in a passworded room. And it was in Java, so worked just as well
[02:54] <vertana> in Windows and Mac (which the school used).
[02:54] <mib_0hcvon6q> vertana: hello again, you was just helping me with my nvidia card install
[02:55] <n8tuser> Rapture2k4 -> am sure it is possible
[02:55] <jinja-sheep> vertana: Sounds like a nice app. :o
[02:55] <Rapture2k4> i haven't found much on the topic
[02:55] <vertana> gnutron: It wasn't too much, just a High School Senior project. If it was more then yes, but as it stands it was no big deal.
[02:55] <Rapture2k4> trying to turn my old P4 into a 1U rack mount server
[02:56] <vertana> jinja-sheep: I thought it was nice (especially as my first 'big' project with a 'team' (myself and a friend).
[02:56] <gnutron> andypls1: so all you should need to do is edit xorg.conf and edit in the device driver 'nv'
[02:56] <vertana> mib_0hcvon6q: Hey, did it work yet?
[02:57] <triplc> hi all
[02:57] <cuonglb> yes :D
[02:57] <andypls1> gnutron: edit it to what?
[02:57] <gnutron> vertana: its a matter of principle, the school doesnt pay you for your ideas, you own those not them.
[02:57] <rodd> vertana: It's really terrible to be stolen in our code...no matter WHO steals us....
[02:58] <gnutron> andypls1: pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:58] <vertana> gnutron: I understand, but I was 17 at the team and it was mostly for a grade and I proved my principle. Minors aren't useless contrary to what the American education system leads the "children" to believe.
[02:58] <rodd> vertana: it's funny to think that on an open source community, if someone goes wrong, he/she can steal everyone's code and claim their on or release a commercial software with it....
[02:58] <ardchoille> !ot | vertana
[02:58] <n8tuser> Rapture2k4 -> http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO/configure-kernel-grub.html  to setup your com1 as console with grub

[02:59] <Rapture2k4> ooo, ty
[02:59] <vertana> ardchoille: I got sidetracked :p
[02:59] <triplc> How to get "run" in Gnome? It is OK to get "run" dialog by pressing "Alt-F2". Now I do not use Gnome desktop environment (as my computer is slow) so I switch to a slimmer Window Manager. However I still want to get that "run". What program I need to call to get it? (I am not quite happy with program like grun,... I prefer the one of Gnome)
[02:59] <andypls1> gnutron:http://pastebin.com/m30439a5b
[03:00] <mib_0hcvon6q> vertana: after the install i checked details a got an error same as before "error could not locate nvidia.ko for modudle nvidiav in the DKMS tree"
[03:00] <mib_0hcvon6q> vertana: "you must run a DKMSm bmumild for kernel 2.627-9-generic (i686) first"
[03:01] <joe_-> I used the alternate CD to install everything, how do I install Gnome now?
[03:01] <gnutron> andypls1: your device driver says nvidia, which i would think would work but 'nv' instead should. anyone know if 'nv' still works?
[03:01] <triplc> How to get "run" in Gnome? It is OK to get "run" dialog by pressing "Alt-F2". Now I do not use Gnome desktop environment (as my computer is slow) so I switch to a slimmer Window Manager. However I still want to get that "run". What program I need to call to get it? (I am not quite happy with program like grun,... I prefer the one of Gnome) (re ask)
[03:01] <vertana> mib_0hcvon6q: What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[03:01] <mib_0hcvon6q> vertana: "you must run a DKMS build for kernel 2.627-9-generic (i686) first"
[03:01] <mib_0hcvon6q> vertana: 10.8
[03:02] <linux_guy> how should i install vmware?  its a tar.gz file
[03:02] <lifenova1> linux_guy
[03:02] <gnutron> andypls1: you have nothing to lose, change nvidia to nv if it doesnt work, change it back.
[03:03] <vertana> mib_0hcvon6q: The latest? 8.10.  Go under Administration > Hardware Drivers and see if it tells you the Nvidia 177 driver is disabled. If it is, then try enabling it in that same menu.
[03:03] <lifenova1> linux_guy: extract the files into a folder, then tell me the name of that was created
[03:03] <lstarnes> linux_guy: there will most likely be a readme or install file contained in it
[03:04] <gnutron> andypls1: you should consult your restricted drivers menu also, i'm not up on that subject.
[03:04] <andypls1> i don't know....
[03:04] <vertana> mib_0hcvon6q: The reason I point you to the HArdware Drivers menu is because it should automatically download software that the drivers depend on.
[03:05] <vertana> mib_0hcvon6q: And it should trigger the right scripts (I.e. put everything in the right places and make the correct changes)
[03:05]  * Panarchy says Hi
[03:05] <gnutron> andypls1: have you installed proprietary drivers?
[03:06] <mib_0hcvon6q> vertana: ok i will try it and reset :D
[03:06] <andypls1> gnutron: i don't know what that is
[03:06] <shavin> my compaq 6710b laptop is just six months old and battery is troubling. It wont charge when plugged in. I took it out and plugged in again(did not start the OS yet) and the battery LED came on. I was able to charge it to almost 100%, then i started ubuntu and used it for a while and switched it off. Now again i started ubuntu in the morning the LED will not burn. I guess i might still be...
[03:06] <shavin> ...able to charge it with laptop off. please help.
[03:06] <linux_guy> life:  I extracted it to a folder called vmware-server-distrib
[03:07] <gnutron> andypls1: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf   type in nv  instead of nvidia, i bet it'll work.
[03:07] <lifenova1> linux_guy: open up a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and type cd vmware-server-distrib
[03:07] <Rapture2k4> hmm, I can no longer see my Ubuntu server in my network (Vista) since I removed samba... I have NFS setup on it...
[03:07] <Rapture2k4> did i break something?
[03:07] <puneeth> will i face hardware compatability issues with a MAC for ubuntu?
[03:07] <nicholas_> .org
[03:07] <phrostbite> Is there a difference between installing wine through the add/remove programs or using the sudo apt-get?
[03:07] <andypls1> gnutron: ok gimme a sec
[03:07] <linux_guy> no such file or dir?
[03:07] <vertana> mib_0hcvon6q: Ok After reboot, let me know how it works out for you. And if anyone asks you how to install Nvidia drivers in ubuntu it's always safe to tell them to do it through Hardware Drivers menu.
[03:07] <shavin> So i guess what i have to is this 1. switch iff the laptop 2. take the battery out for a few second 3. put it back in and charge offline, 4 then switch on the laptop.
[03:08] <lifenova1> linux_guy: is the vmware-server-distrib folder in your home folder?
[03:08] <]K[^Omegadoom> -us-sc
[03:08] <shavin> I am not able to charge online
[03:08] <Panarchy> I'm using the server version of ubuntu. I installed the GUI (sudo apt-get GNOME). However the icons aren't the same as Ubuntu's GNOME. How do I make them the same?
[03:08] <rww> phrostbite: nope. Add/Remove is just a front-end for apt-get
[03:08] <vertana> phrostbite: Not to my knowledge, no there is not. The Add/Remove programs is only there to make life easier on people.
[03:08] <lifenova1> linux_guy: What's the location of the vmware-server-distrib folder in relation to your home folder
[03:08] <Flannel> Panarchy: install ubuntu-desktop, not gnome
[03:08] <Panarchy> ahhhhhh
[03:08] <phrostbite> Oh ok. And what is the link so i can learn how to use wine? Is it this one?
[03:08] <phrostbite> !wine
[03:08] <recon69> anyone know what the name of the dbdesigner4 biniary is? I installed it from repos but cant find menu item or bin?
[03:09] <rww> Panarchy: You're missing the package human-icon-theme. Either install ubuntu-desktop to get that and other stuff, or install just the package and change your icon theme in Appearance Preferences.
[03:09] <mib_0hcvon6q> vertana: ok i tryed to active version 177, it finished 100% but not sure is its active. there is no green light next to it
[03:09] <vertana> When you cannot find something sudo updatedb; locate "whatever you need"
[03:09] <linux_guy> lifenoval: its in home folder now
