[09:34] <anarcap> ubottu - Yeah, I'm running firefox 64-bit, and I don't have problems with Real or Java, but flash play back tears.
[09:34] <jongbergs> rebel_kid: gnome or kde?
[09:34] <Dallas> anarcap: just the 64 bit flash plugin
[09:34] <rww> powertool08: doesn't work in Jaunty or Karmic unless you screw around with xorg.conf
[09:34] <kostkon> S1aw, eh, did you check the sound prefs in blender?
[09:34] <rebel_kid> powertool08: that will restart, not stop
[09:35] <S1aw> yeah
[09:35] <noren> hi guys, need help here, i wanted to translate a txt file from command line, do we have any specific app in ubuntu for that
[09:35] <wesley> slaw - did you specify purge when you uninstalled blender?
[09:35] <kostkon> S1aw, what options do you have available?
[09:35] <fabio_> no one able to help me? :(
[09:35] <anarcap> rww - oh, a bot
[09:35] <S1aw> ive been throught this with blender ppl already
[09:35] <rebel_kid> rww, display 7 still has a gui
[09:35] <noren> txt frm portugues to english
[09:35] <rebel_kid> jongbergs: gnome
[09:35] <S1aw> it seems its ubuntu
[09:35] <wesley> lol
[09:35] <net> пиздец
[09:35] <S1aw> yeah i completely uninstalled it
[09:35] <rww> anarcap: indeed :)
[09:35] <wesley> slaw send the blender people in.  every other application is working fine.
[09:35] <S1aw> and it doesnt work with the standalone one either
[09:35] <noren> !translate
[09:36] <kostkon> S1aw, do you have the option to select output device, or driver in blender's prefs?
[09:36] <jongbergs> rebel_kid: then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop should work
[09:36] <S1aw> you do in the new blender
[09:36] <wesley> slaw did you read these:
[09:36] <wesley> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blender/+bug/44131
[09:36] <S1aw> but not the stable one
[09:36] <Ascavasaion> greez???
[09:36] <wesley> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blender/+bug/401145
[09:36] <anarcap> rww - I'm running flash already, it's installed (the non-free version from the repository), but doesn't work well. I get tearing.
[09:36] <jongbergs> Ascavasaion: does your samba problem working right now?
[09:36] <Ascavasaion> what happened to greez?
[09:36] <rww> anarcap: that's likely a problem with your video drivers, not flash itself
[09:37] <rebel_kid> jongbergs: that command used to work in 8.10 now it just gives me information about service and stop commands, no matter how i attempt to stop gdm (init.d or service) i still have a graphical interface when i switch back to display 7
[09:38] <powertool08> rebel_kid: A dirty way of doing it but sudo kill -9 Xorg
[09:38] <wesley> slaw - blender uses SDL sound so maybe try adding SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa in /etc/environment and rebooting?
[09:38] <rebel_kid> powertool08: i considered that... guess the xserver is already hosed so who cares at this point
[09:38] <rww> rebel_kid: what output do you get when you issue "sudo service gdm stop"? You should get something like "gdm stop/waiting".
[09:38] <rebel_kid> rww: that is exactly what i get
[09:38] <S1aw> does that change it to use alsa as sound server?
[09:38] <Dallas> anyone able to help get the graphics going on a dell mini 10?
[09:38] <rebel_kid> rww: then display 7 still displays a pretty little interface
[09:38] <anarcap> rww - but all other video plays fine, no tearing. I figured it was flash.
[09:39] <Ascavasaion> anyone seen greezmonkey?
[09:39] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, here
[09:39] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, did you get it to open?
[09:39] <rww> anarcap: ah, perhaps, then. I used to have problems until newer version of my video drivers, perhaps you have a different issue
[09:39] <Ascavasaion> aaaah, welcome back greezmunkey
[09:39] <wesley> slaw what sound server are you using?
[09:39] <rww> rebel_kid: interesting. What's the output of "ps -A | grep gdm"?
[09:39] <Ascavasaion> greezmunkey: I clicked system>Administration>users
[09:40] <rww> rebel_kid: assuming you want to troubleshoot it and don't just want it gone. If you just want it gone, killing it should do that ;)
[09:40] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, are you in there now?
[09:40] <Ascavasaion> greezmunkey: Yes, I authenticated.
[09:40] <Darkedge> I need some testers to test out my lattest project, Who wants to help? :)
[09:40] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, go to manage groups
[09:40] <S1aw> its a clean install of 9.10 so i think its pulse
[09:40] <Ascavasaion> greezmunkey: and then?
[09:40] <anarcap> rww - you had a problem with just flash, and it was your video card drivers?
[09:41] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, add a group called nobody
[09:41] <rebel_kid> rww: nothing at all
[09:41] <rebel_kid> rww: at this point i would settle for it gone
[09:41] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, once it's there add joel to it
[09:41] <lolwut> Hello, I just upgraded to 9.10 with do-release-upgrade and now it just hangs with the message "Exception during pm.DoInstall():  E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"
[09:41] <Ascavasaion> greezmunkey: and then?
[09:41] <lolwut> does anyone have an idea what i should do now?
[09:41] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, did you add user joel to it?
[09:41] <rww> rebel_kid: well, "sudo pkill Xorg" should do that
[09:42] <Ascavasaion> greezmunkey: Nobody, ID = 1002, and I added Joel to it.
[09:42] <Ascavasaion> greezmunkey: yes
[09:42] <Concretesledge> is there any way i can upgarde to a different distribution
[09:42] <rebel_kid> rww: thank you
[09:42] <S1aw> rebootin brb
[09:43] <Lord-Readman> hello, when installing ubuntu it used to create a swap, but now it just does a use full disk by default, is there any advantage of making a 4GB swap if you have 4GB of ram, and also any advantage of making a 250mb /boot/ partition at the beginning of the disk so it loads faster?
[09:43] <rww> Concretesledge: specifically from what to what?
[09:43] <FunkyWeasel> Morning
[09:43] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, in a term, go to your home directory
[09:43] <Concretesledge> from ubuntu karmic koala, to 7evenOS
[09:43] <rebel_kid> anyone have an experience with nvidia cards not going above 640x480 after upgrading to 9.10?
[09:44] <b3rz3rk3r> Lord-Readman, yes there is an advantage
[09:44] <Concretesledge> rww its really nice, it uses karmic sources..
[09:44] <wesley> slaw - I'll need to do some reading about sound in linux and 9.10 before I can help you.
[09:44] <simplexio> rebel_kid: you probably have vesa driver in use, try nvidia driver
[09:44] <Dallas> Rebe;_kid:you probably need to get the drivers.
[09:44] <Dallas> anyone able to help get the graphics going on a dell mini 10?
[09:44] <Lord-Readman> b3rz3rk3r, to the swap? or the /boot/ or both?
[09:44] <Ascavasaion> greezmunkey: I am in my home directory.
[09:44] <wesley> slaw - maybe ask one of the other lads or lasses in here if they can help you now.  sorry.
[09:44] <rww> Lord-Readman: If you want to use hibernation, you need a swap size equal to or larger than the memory in use, so it's advisable to create a swap partition a little bigger than your system memory if you need it.
[09:44] <plustax> I have my laptop plugged into my tv right now with hdmi. I am using ubuntu 9.10 how do I get it working?
[09:44] <rww> Concretesledge: You'd want to ask them about it. We don't support Ubuntu derivatives here.
[09:44] <b3rz3rk3r> Lord-Readman, most people seem to agree that a swap just slightly larger than your installed RAM is the best idea
[09:44] <rebel_kid> simplexio: i have installed the nivida driver with the restricted driver installer, no affect, i have also used nvidias install script from their page. again no affect
[09:44] <rww> Concretesledge: s/Ubuntu/unofficial Ubuntu/
[09:44] <FunkyWeasel> I've found pulseaudio periodically crashes and I need to reboot to sort the problem - pulseaudio will not restart and the PulseAudio Device Choser fails to connect.  Is there a less Windows-y solution than the 3-finger-salute?
[09:45] <Concretesledge> rww ok. thank you
[09:45] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, sudo chgrp -hR nobody Music
[09:45] <FunkyWeasel> Oh, yes, running ibex.
[09:45] <b3rz3rk3r> Lord-Readman, mainly to due with performace and saving, i dont think that it would assist with boot too much
[09:45] <Lord-Readman> ok, so if i did 5000mb for 4096mb of ram, that would be fine, what about doing 250mb for /boot/ and putting it at the beginning of the disk?
[09:45] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, make sure that you type in the proper directory name for music
[09:45] <om26er> lord-re
[09:46] <Lord-Readman> yes?
[09:46] <rww> Lord-Readman: I do that for /boot/, but it's unlikely to make a noticible speed difference.
[09:46] <b3rz3rk3r> Lord-Readman, yes that would be fine. as for boot, im really not too sure if that would actually ame diference
[09:46] <S1aw> i still got the same error with blender
[09:46] <b3rz3rk3r> make*
[09:46] <plustax> I have my laptop plugged into my tv right now with hdmi. I am using ubuntu 9.10 how do I get it working?
[09:46] <S1aw> i think ill try changing sound server to oss
[09:46] <Lord-Readman> what if I put /boot/ on a usb flash stick, ?
[09:46] <Lord-Readman> and leave it plugged in all the time
[09:46] <mintux> hi i installed ubuntu and has own grub after that i install debian and debian grub show when system come up . i put ubuntu live and fix grub oh hd0,0 ( while debian installed on hd0,3 ) and i got Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0,0) /boot/grub/stage2 p /boot/grub/menu.lst "... succeeded  but when i restart i see debian boot grub again not ubuntu boot grub what's wrong ? ( im in ubuntu live now )
[09:47] <Ascavasaion> greezmunkey: I did that.
[09:47] <were> Hello
[09:47] <alesson> bonjour
[09:47] <plustax> I have my laptop plugged into my tv right now with hdmi. I am using ubuntu 9.10 how do I get it working?
[09:48] <anarcap> Would I lose any performance by installing 32-bit ubuntu on my 64-bit Intel HP? Does the 64-bit really make a difference?
[09:48] <Lord-Readman> rww, b3rz3rk3r what do you think to putting /boot/ on a small usb pen drive? then it will have flash speeds?
[09:48] <were> Question, is there a way to transfer files from ubuntu pc to windows pc through internet? some software perhaps if anyone knows
[09:48] <rww> Lord-Readman: USB drives are slower than hard disks
[09:48] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, in your smb.conf file remove the [Shared] section entirely for now, and then restart samba
[09:49] <wesley> were: several ways
[09:49] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, you there?
[09:49] <plustax> I have my laptop plugged into my tv right now with hdmi. I am using ubuntu 9.10 how do I get it working?
[09:49] <plustax> I have my laptop plugged into my tv right now with hdmi. I am using ubuntu 9.10 how do I get it working?
[09:49] <plustax> I have my laptop plugged into my tv right now with hdmi. I am using ubuntu 9.10 how do I get it working?
[09:49] <b3rz3rk3r> Lord-Readman, iv never tried that, but USB drives are usually slower read times than normal HDD
[09:49] <FloodBot3> plustax: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:49] <FunkyWeasel> were: sftp, samba?
[09:49] <powertool08> were: samba shares, tftp server on one, client on the other, netcat, i'm sure there are many more
[09:49] <Lord-Readman> ah ok
[09:49] <rww> Lord-Readman: additionally, you appear to be overestimating the amount of time it takes to load the contents of /boot/ into memory. It really doesn't take that long, so you're not going to save much time by optimizing it.
[09:49] <b3rz3rk3r> Lord-Readman, you are better off getting yourself a 10,000rpm HDD, or a nice SDD
[09:49] <Ascavasaion> greezmunkey: be right back.
[09:50] <Lord-Readman> thanks for your help!
[09:50] <plustax> I have my laptop plugged into my tv right now with hdmi. I am using ubuntu 9.10 how do I get it working?
[09:50] <rww> !repeat | plustax
[09:50] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, I got split out, sorry
[09:50] <pepperspray>  Hi. Will this command work on xchat? : kickban &2  mask 9 <reason> ?
[09:50] <Rabbitbu1ny> In the system monitor panel applet, when it says 'local', do they mean loopback or 192.168.x.x ?
[09:50] <plustax> So you're telling me that in the UBUNTU support channel, no one knows how to connect to an external projector?
[09:50] <Ascavasaion> greezmunkey: No problem.
[09:51] <Ascavasaion> greezmunkey: DCC chat maybe?
[09:51] <nozes> oi
[09:51] <pepperspray> Hi. Will this command work on xchat? : kickban &2  mask 9 <reason> ?
[09:51] <om26er> how can i restart x without rebooting system
[09:51] <Rabbitbu1ny> plustax: People vary, search the forums. No one is paid to help you.
[09:51] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, this is cool, I think we're almost done
[09:51] <powertool08> om26er: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[09:51] <Rabbitbu1ny> pepperspray: Stop spamming, ask in #xchat.
[09:51] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, besides, I'm not sure how that works :)
[09:51] <Ascavasaion> greezmunkey: Okies, I # out the whole shares section in smb.conf and restarted samba... now?
[09:52] <pepperspray> Rabbitbu1ny,  I wasn't spamming. I didn't think the first post worked because I hadn't registered myself
[09:52] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, try to access your user directory from the winbox.
[09:52] <plustax> I have a question for you guys. I have my laptop connected to my TV via a hdmi cable. But I cant find in the settings how to get it setup. Can anyone help please?
[09:53] <Ascavasaion> greezmunkey: since I changed to Windows Logon I cannot even see the computer... let alone the share.
[09:53] <testo> hi
[09:53] <testo> have a doubt, someone can help?
[09:53] <testo> usb-creator
[09:53] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, try MS networking then
[09:54] <testo> does it wipe theentire disk
[09:54] <testo> or just create install directories on it
[09:54] <cam_> anyone running ubuntu from thumbdrive with installation on it instead of live cd kind ? what file system do u use ?
[09:54] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, win98 didn't do things too well to begin with!
[09:54] <plustax> I have a question for you guys. I have my laptop connected to my TV via a hdmi cable. But I cant find in the settings how to get it setup. Can anyone help please?
[09:54] <testo> (is previous data on disk safe?
[09:54] <Ascavasaion> greezmunkey: Client for MS Networks?
[09:54] <wizztjh> Hi all , if i wanna help ubuntu to do some programming , where should i go to?
[09:54] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, that's it.
[09:54] <Rabbitbunny> testo: Enter is not puncuation, Install can wipe the drive if you chose to.
[09:55] <greezmunkey> plustax, does youtLT have hardcoded keys to point video to the external interface?
[09:55] <testo> Rabbitbunny, i have a 200Gb disk with a lot of stuff
[09:55] <testo> if i just run usb-creator
[09:55] <testo> i have my data safe?
[09:56] <plustax> greezmunkey  I dunno what that means, sir. Only my first few days using linux
[09:56] <Rabbitbunny> testo: stop using enter as puncuation. Your data is never safe from you. The installer can overwrite if you tell it to.
[09:57] <powertool08> plustax: Its not a linux thing. On my laptop <Fn>+fsomething switches between the lcd panel and the secondary video adapter
[09:57] <PolitikerNEU> Hello, does anybody know how to disable the shutdown-dialogue where some applications (e.g. konversation) are listed (and preventing shutdown)?
[09:57] <Ascavasaion> greezmunkey: Nothing
[09:57] <greezmunkey> plustax, my LT has a key combo that will divert video to the vga interface, Dell Blue Fn+F8
[09:57] <plustax> Well I have windows 7 on this laptop too, and it switches fine by going to the external projector settings
[09:58] <friendishan> my evolution mail hangs as soon as it starts.
[09:58] <plustax> greezmunkey yeah mine doesn't do that I don't think. :/
[09:58] <Rabbitbunny> friendishan: Start it from console and see what it's doing.
[09:59] <friendishan> rabbitbunny : how?
[09:59] <Rabbitbunny> friendishan: Press alt+f2, type in evolution, click open in terminal or whatever. hit go.
[10:00] <friendishan> rabbitbunny: done!
[10:00] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, after you change that, check your log file directory again!
[10:01] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, split again...
[10:01] <Gameplayer> hello
[10:02] <Gameplayer> since the upgrade to 9.10, the rights assigned to files on my usb sticks changed, where can I change them again ?
[10:02] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, wazzup?
[10:02] <Rabbitbunny> friendishan: I have no idea what that actually means, i don't use evolution. pastebin the output and ask for help debugging it.
[10:02] <friendishan> rabbitbunny: how do i pastebin?
[10:03] <Ascavasaion> greezmunkey: You will never believe this...  It seems I have two firewalls running.  I had firestarter and gi
[10:03] <mintux1> it's my config http://codepad.org/ghglc51F  i want to see grub list of ubuntu . i installed debian and now i see menu of debian grub but i want back to ubuntu menu grub and put debian on that list . what's wrong here?
[10:03] <Ascavasaion> greezmunkey: You will never believe this...  It seems I have two firewalls running.  I had firestarter and gufw ... I thought they were front-ends for both firewalls... I disabled them both and the thing worked first time.
[10:03] <Rabbitbunny> friendishan: http://paste.ubuntu.com
[10:03] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, I thought the iptables looked wierd :/
[10:04] <paranoid_ndroid> is there any ubuntu app that keeps track of the time spent on applications, webpages, chatwindows, etc?
[10:04] <friendishan> friendishan : how will that pasting help me?
[10:04] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, why the need for all the firewall stuff?
[10:04] <Rabbitbunny> friendishan: Because pming people normally gets you yelled it.
[10:05] <Rabbitbunny> s/it/at/
[10:05] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, Is you Internet gateway connected via ethernet with all of your other PCs?
[10:05] <whammo> can anybody tell me what I need to do to disable compiz? I have no gui
[10:05] <friendishan> rabbitbunny: ok
[10:05] <cam_> which filesystem is recommended for an installation of Karmic on thumbdrive ? ext3 ? ext2 ? other ?
[10:05] <whammo> because of compiz
[10:06] <friendishan> my evolution mail hangs as soon as it starts
[10:07] <gajan> Hi All, Is there any way so that i can access a vmware virtual center from my ubuntu system. ?
[10:07] <greezmunkey> whammo, ctrl+F1, log in , kill -HUP compiz might work
[10:07] <knoppies> friendishan, I use thunderbird.
[10:07] <friendishan> knoppies : it any good?
[10:08] <knoppies> knoppies, Ive never tried evolution, but I like it. Couldnt ask for anything better.
[10:08] <whammo> kill -HUP compiz
[10:08] <whammo> ok
[10:08] <knoppies> friendishan, that last one was for you.
[10:08] <greezmunkey> Ascavasaion, well, you are on your way now, catch you later..:)
[10:08] <knoppies> friendishan, Cant believe I wrote my own name.
[10:08] <xci> hey guys, is there any fix available to this "unable to enumerate usb" bug even now? this has been bugging me for a half a year at least, and it seems that in ubuntu bugs it is still not resolved
[10:08] <paranoid_ndroid> is there any ubuntu app that keeps track of the time spent on applications, webpages, chatwindows, etc?
[10:08] <plustax> Can anyone help me connectmy tv to my laptop?
[10:08] <plustax> please?
[10:08] <friendishan> knoppies lol
[10:08] <lolwut> allright, I got this far when running karmic:
[10:09] <Gameplayer> gajan, it seems there is no vmware vi center for linux
[10:09] <plustax> I looked in the forums, and found nothing helpful that applied to my situation
[10:09] <whammo> that won't make it stay gone, though. when I reboot I'll have system lock for minutes
[10:09] <lolwut> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/322288/
[10:09] <jongbergs> xci: when does the error occur?
[10:09] <lolwut> karmic is holding the lock:
[10:09] <lolwut> karmic  11752 root   39uW  REG    8,1        0 290859 /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[10:10] <gajan> Gameplayer : that is ok, but what really hurts is is even firefox on linux not supported
[10:10] <plustax> Can anyone help me connectmy tv to my laptop?
[10:10] <plustax> I looked in the forums, and found nothing helpful that applied to my situation
[10:10] <gajan> Gameplayer : i cudnt even log in from web
[10:10] <friendishan> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/322289/
[10:10] <greezmunkey> paranoid_ndroid, "man time" Maybe you can use that in a shell script to do what you want.
[10:10] <xci> jongbergs: well, my dmesg does no reaction when I plug my mobile phone in and also the phone does not recognize that it has been plugged in
[10:10] <shine1> hi all~ I am trying to connect my desktop ubuntu from my labtop ubuntu, I allowed "remote desktop" of the desktop ubuntu, and using "terminal server client" and vnc protocol on my labtop for the connection, but my labtop screen is 1024*768, desktop is much larger, it is difficult to navigate the remote desktop. I  found online help saying that I should modify vnc server configuration on my desktop at /etc/sysconfig/vncservers to
[10:10] <lolwut> can i safely remove that lock in the middle of that script trying to do something?
[10:11] <Gameplayer> gajan, maybe it's because it needs windows primitives to work...
[10:11] <Gameplayer> it's sad
[10:11] <micheal> how do u mount a unmounted drive?
[10:11] <friendishan> my evolution problem if i start it in terminal it says this and stops http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/322289/
[10:11] <xci> jongbergs: and on previous lines of dmesg there is this unable to enumerate blaah
[10:11] <plustax> UGH. FUCKING FAILCHANNEL IS FAIL
[10:11] <xci> and this is annoying because I cannot transfer data, I can only charge
[10:11] <knoppies> micheal, if you can see the drive in "places" then just click on it there.
[10:11] <lolwut> plustax: go back to /b/
[10:12] <gajan> till date i had one sun vm installed on my machine , and had windows on that, from there i used to log in to virtual center, but today even that isnt working

[10:45] <cankoy> luckymurali: free command is low-level and not meant to be used by end-users. Try something GUI-based, like Gnome system monitor, and you'll be happy.

[11:08] <napster> Slart: I was searching some geeks in via&jaunty first. And when I type large posts and repeat it so many times, I thought it will be a disturbance to all of you..!

[11:09] <Julia_> how can I make my cpu 100% loaded?
[11:09] <Julia_> is there some stress test on ubuntu?
[11:09] <Slart> napster: large posts isn't really a problem.. repeat it once every 15 minutes or so.. people usually avoid questions like "anyone good with printers?" and so on
[11:10] <swathanthran> !backports
[11:10] <Slart> Julia_: there are some stress test available in the repos.. search for stress or burn in in synaptic
[11:10] <Concretesledge> Hello, good day, my speaker icon disapeared, and my running applications icon's disapeared also

[11:13] <Slart> Concretesledge: hmm.. it feels like such a cheap solution.. but have you tried rebooting?
[11:14] <Concretesledge> Slart yes.
[11:14] <geist_> Xubuntu is xrated
[11:15] <Concretesledge> Slart, also both my CPU'S are at 100% LOAD

[11:16] <doktoreas> hello folks..
[11:17] <doktoreas> does the default indexing engine karmic ship is tracker or beagle?
[11:17] <lolwut> woohoo, the upgrade script finally completed! :) bfy
[11:17] <Slart> doktoreas: neither is installed on my newly installed karmic system
[11:18] <doktoreas> any suggestion on which one to use?
[11:19] <utrrrongeeb> I'll be installing UNR to a Dell Mini 10 through Wubi. I read that 9.10 has poor graphics support compared to 9.04, which I have a generic CD of. Is 9.04 UNR available as a CD .iso, or only as the USB-drive .img? Or is the generic CD sufficient, and UNR packaged downloadable later?
[11:20] <Slart> doktoreas: no idea.. I think tracker replaced beagle .. but I can't really say which one is better
[11:20] <bazhang> utrrrongeeb, how much disk space on the mini
[11:20] <utrrrongeeb> bazhang: >100 GB
[11:21] <bazhang> utrrrongeeb, you could install regular ubuntu then the metapackage ubuntu-netbook-remix for jaunty if you wish
[11:22] <utrrrongeeb> bazhang: I'd heard something about that -- thanks!
[11:22] <sbach89> Anyone have any idea why I can't mount an NTFS network share with write permissions?
[11:23] <om26er1> which filesystem is better for flash drives
[11:24] <Slart> om26er1: I use plain ext4 for my SSD..  I didn't really find anything useful when I tried searching for something special
[11:24] <PupenoG> Any recommended registrars that accept punycode?
[11:24] <Slart> om26er1: but if you find something, please let me know
[11:24] <om26er1> Slart: someone suggested me to use ext2 on my usb.
[11:26] <gwiz> Need help please......
[11:26] <erUSUL> doktoreas: is tracker since a few releases

[11:26] <gwiz> I have 2 operating systems, but when I installed ubuntu (the latest version) it only recognized one (windows 7)
[11:27] <gwiz> I need to get my Vista OS in the grub, can someone help me with this?
[11:27] <theadmin> gwiz: Uh... You should try "sudo update-grub2" first. If that fails, say.
[11:27] <gwiz> I just updated my grub to the newer version, is this what you mean?
[11:28] <gwiz> cause when it updated it only saw windows 7 :/
[11:28] <theadmin> gwiz: Meh, meh. update-grub2 is pretty much OS checker.
[11:28] <gwiz> all it saw was the windows 7 loader :/
[11:29] <theadmin> gwiz: Uh-huh. Is Vista partition still accessible? You didn't destroy it, right?
[11:29] <gwiz> ok, let me try something, then I'll come back, thanks for the help guys.... maybe the loader will pick up Vista (crosses fingers)

[11:41] <nether> okay, i'll try, thank you. if it doesnt work i'll come back
[11:41] <erUSUL> Decalco: install « ubuntu-restricted-extras » then install libdvdcss2 from medibuntu
[11:41] <erUSUL> !medibuntu | Decalco
[11:42] <Decalco> erUSUL: Thanks, trying that now
[11:42] <neurochrome> erUSUL, cheers for that tip... it worked (I just didn't have the nas mounted at the time!) thanks again!
[11:42] <nere> anyone using ftp? I got some simple questions
[11:42] <erUSUL> neurochrome: no problem
[11:42] <piscue> sorry, I was bit away thanks
[11:42] <erUSUL> !ask | nere
[11:43] <nere> erUSUL ok lol
[11:43] <sbach89> I mounted an NTFS network share in ubuntu server 9.10. I'm using a program that requires full readwrite execute permissions to it(chmod 777). When I run the command under root it tells me Permission Denied. All the permissions are set correctly where the physical drive is located. I CAN read/write from the terminal. cannot apply chmod 777 in terminal or through FTP. Anyone have any ideas?
[11:43] <gustavoo> hello
[11:44] <gustavoo> how do i copy files in linux maintaining the windows's attritubes?
[11:44] <gustavoo> is there any way?
[11:44] <nere> If I'm on a ubuntu pc and I need to transfer files with ftp to my other windows pc.. how can I do that? I just downloaded gftp but dont know how to use it
[11:46] <erUSUL> gustavoo: do not think so;
[11:47] <Julia> well
[11:47] <Guest38962> comething changed after upgrade
[11:47] <erUSUL> nere: do you have an ftp server running in windows ?
[11:47] <nere> erUSUL nope
[11:47] <Kingsy101> can someone tell me how you always get a certai application to deal with certain file types?
[11:47] <Dayofswords> hey, i found out my fancy toshiba play/rewind/etc. button work on 9.10, sweet
[11:48] <erUSUL> nere: you need an ftp server in windows to connect to it
[11:48] <Kingsy101> for example I have a .exe file ad I want wine to open it but no matter how much times I have selected wine in the list etc its top choice is still archive manager.. how can I change this?
[11:48] <nere> erUSUL but if I'll transfer files from ubuntu to windows, is it ok to have the server in windows? and not ubuntu?
[11:48] <erUSUL> nere: i used the filezilla ftp server in windows is easy to set up
[11:49] <sbach89> Any clues anyone?
[11:49] <freeride> !bridge-utils
[11:49] <theadmin> !info bridge-utils | freeride
[11:49] <erUSUL> nere: you can use other means like shared folders (via samba) but if you want to use ftp you need an ftp server in windows
[11:49] <nether> I tried opening the ALSA documentation but it said permission denied
[11:50] <erUSUL> !samba
[11:50] <Decalco> Do I need to restart after installing ubuntu-restricted-extras and libdvdcss2 ?? I'm still unable to mound my sdc
[11:51] <erUSUL> Decalco: when viewing dvd's you do not mount them
[11:51] <Slart> sbach89: afaik you can't mess with permissions on a mounted ntfs drive since windows has its own permissions structure.. iirc you have to mount it with some specific switches to make it read/writable
[11:51] <erUSUL> Decalco: you just use vlc or xine and open the dvd drive directly
[11:52] <Slart> sbach89: I might be wrong though.. I haven't messed around with samba for quite a while
[11:52] <erUSUL> Slart: is a network share so it's probably using samba. i do not use samba so i do not have a clue ...
[11:53] <paolo88> hi
[11:53] <Slart> erUSUL: I use samba for the server part.. but I've switched to nfs for my linux <-> linux networking stuff
[11:54] <Koenigsegg> Anyone using Eclipse? Just installed Eclipse 3.5, added two software sites. But "Install new software" still refuses to do anything at all.
[11:54] <sbach89> Slart: Ya right now linux has samba installed, there has got to be a way to change it...
[11:55] <Decalco> erUSUL, VLC says it can't play the DVD and to check the log for details
[11:57] <erUSUL> Decalco: and the default movie player fails too ?
[11:58] <sbach89> Alright I'm out, going to bed. I'll screw around with this later.
[11:59] <Decalco> erUSUL, The default is "Movie Player", and it doesn't seem to have an option to play the DVD... when I put the disc in, nothing pops up on the screen
[11:59] <erUSUL> :|

[11:59] <nere> erUSUL can you tell me how to connect gftp to filezilla server in windows? if you dont mind

[12:03] <erUSUL> Decalco: change vlc to open /dev/sdc0
[12:03] <shafi_> anyone?
[12:04] <Decalco> erUSUL, VLC says it's unable to open dvd:///dev/sdc0

[12:11] <Kingsy101> is there a difference between the icons I can use on files and shortcuts in the top bar?
[12:11] <nere> erUSUL I just got router not using any firewall
[12:11] <aaron11> hi
[12:11] <erUSUL> livingdaylight: is a polite way to say "i do not know and i do not care; just install both you m**on and try them"
[12:11] <livingdaylight> erUSUL, another difference might be to say one is qt based and the other gtk, for example... i don't know whether is is true, but it is analysis along those lines i was looking for
[12:12] <livingdaylight> erUSUL, huh?
[12:12] <Kingsy101> I added a .svg file I made myself to the file and it works fine, then I drag it to the top bar it asks me to pick an Icon again, I select mine and it comes up with a black box and a red sign in the middle..
[12:12] <livingdaylight> !moron | erUSUL
[12:12] <Kingsy101> anyone had this before?
[12:12] <erUSUL> nere: but maybe the windows firewall is active??

[12:15] <nere> erUSUL any specific configurations need to be done in filezilla server ? I really never used it before

[12:25] <Pichi> I know there are some issues
[12:25] <mrXX> koston http://uppix.net/9/2/3/5cc53a1754683957c3f9642af6f36.png
[12:26] <Pichi> Like 3d is not supported
[12:26] <Halitech> Pichi, should work but you'll need to set up the video card manually
[12:26] <mrXX> koston no, plz see the pic
[12:26] <Pichi> Yeah i saw some tutorials
[12:26] <nere> erUSUL wow it connected, and a folder was opened in ubuntu but how do I add a file to it?
[12:26] <Pichi> I am pretty novice
[12:26] <mrXX> koston am i missing some library?
[12:26] <Pichi> Should I install Ubuntu with XP or wipe xp out?>
[12:27] <Pichi> I have an old Pentium 3 700 mhz 256 mb ram
[12:27] <kostkon> mrXX, ok. is this a clean install?
[12:27] <Halitech> Pichi, I installed it on a machine with the same card, gave me 800x600, manually edited xorg and got 1024x768
[12:27] <mrXX> koston what is a clean install? this is all what i had from the beginning of ubunut, i haven't added anything else
[12:27] <Pichi> Hope it works for me
[12:28] <Halitech> Pichi, I would probably grab the 9.04 alternate install cd and do a minimal install and add LXDE instead of Ubuntu
[12:28] <Pichi> What about sound cards, I have a Genius 5.1
[12:28] <kostkon> mrXX, i mean, did you upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10?
[12:28] <Hans_Henrik> i have XP/Ubuntu multiboot, you really cant get WoW/CS/Prototype/Knight Online to run flawless on ubuntu :(
[12:28] <mrXX> koston ya
[12:28] <toehio2> is it possible to split a casper-rw file into multiple files? (I want to a have  a casper-rw file bigger than 4GB on a FAT32 partition)
[12:28] <haenet5> faisal
[12:29] <Halitech> Pichi, is it a pci card? see here for instructions on a manual minimal install http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal
[12:29] <isolat3dsh33p> !madwifi
[12:29] <haenet5> faisal
[12:29] <kostkon> mrXX, oh, it's an upgrade. right
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> Pichi: the open driver supports your card and comes as part of a standard install, you could try the nvidia-glx-71 driver but I am not sure
[12:29] <Pichi> Thank you so much
[12:29] <Pichi> I hope I can play soime of the games as well
[12:29] <Pichi> *some
[12:29] <mrXX> koston i mean, previously i had 904, then i download the 910 and installed
[12:30] <mrXX> koston maybe it is a new install
[12:30] <kostkon> mrXX, ah
[12:30] <histo> Pichi:based on your specs I would recomend xubuntu or something lighter
[12:30] <kostkon> mrXX, eh, you could check your hardware volume levels.
[12:30] <Halitech> mrXX, did you download the alternate install cd or the normal desktop cd?
[12:30] <kostkon> mrXX, install "gnome-alsamixer"
[12:30] <histo> Pichi: you will be more satisfied with the performance.
[12:31] <mrXX> koston what is the terminal code to install it?
[12:31] <isolat3dsh33p> guys, how can i enable the desktop effect that lets me move a window by just pushing it to the side?
[12:31] <Halitech> histo, xubuntu isn't much lighter then ubuntu anymore
[12:31] <mrXX> koston i already have the alsamixer in mine
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> Pichi: if you have ubuntu installed you can install xubuntu-desktop for lighter versions of the apps you have
[12:31] <histo> Halitech: sure it is. Xfce compaired to gnome is still a huge difference.
[12:31] <Pichi> i'LL PLY MORE WITH THE LIVCE CD FIRST
[12:31] <kostkon> mrXX, sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer. you could use synaptic.
[12:32] <histo> Pichi: k its easy to switch in the future.You can multiple desktop environments installed at the same time and switch between them.
[12:32] <tim> when i compile a program ,i get mistake tha "find not lposix4"?what should i do?
[12:32] <Hiram> does anybody know about rolling a deb pkg from downloaded src code?
[12:32] <histo> Hiram: check-install will do that.
[12:32] <Halitech> histo, XFCE is lighter then Gnome but Xubuntu includes alot of things Ubuntu has so the full desktop isn't much lighter, doing a minimal install of XFCE will be lighter but not Xubuntu
[12:33] <histo> Hiram: sry package is checkinstall
[12:33] <U-b-u-n-t-u> when I upgraded to 9.1 my partitions were renamed and their mount points messed up because of it can I use gparted and renamed them back to what they were without loosing data
[12:33] <Halitech> Pichi, with the Live CD you need 384 meg of ram to get it to run decently, not sure if it will even run on 256
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> !label | U-b-u-n-t-u
[12:34] <histo> !opinions | Halitech
[12:34] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ActionParsnip, I know how to renamed them but will I loose the data on them?
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> U-b-u-n-t-u: you shouldnt
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> Hmm 9.10 dosent rename the filesystems. it just mounts them using the UUID i think as their name - if theres no label. instead of 'disk' and 'disk1' and so forth
[12:34] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ty
[12:34] <spongebob> argh I'm getting ~40/70 signal strength on my ath5k but random performance. sometimes it's fast, sometimes its slow..
[12:34] <histo> Hiram: to use it you just run the ./configure and the make but you use checkinstall instead of install. It creates a deb for it. it will walk you through the creation of the deb like naming it etc...
[12:35] <mrXX> koston it is strange, if i increase my mic's volume to max, i can hear a clock tick in my pc!!!
[12:35] <zwamkat> @spongebob Check your DNS
[12:35] <kostkon> spongebob, you could try changing the wifi channel being used
[12:35] <mrXX> kostkon it is strange, if i increase my mic's volume to max, i can hear a clock tick in my pc!!!
[12:36] <Hiram> well hell. that's pretty easy. and here i was, using dpkg and what not.
[12:36] <kostkon> mrXX, ???
[12:36] <Mwa> Oh wow, that firmware update has fixed nearly everything! :D
[12:36] <spongebob> kostkon, i've tried public ap's, and perf is quite poor.
[12:36] <mrXX> kostkon, i put my mic in highest in alsamixer, now i hear a tick tick sound
[12:36] <mrXX> i can record that sound as well
[12:36] <spongebob> zwamkat, my dns or my isp's dns?
[12:36] <kostkon> spongebob, ok
[12:36] <kostkon> mrXX, a lower it a little
[12:37] <kostkon> mrXX, also, close your speakers
[12:37] <mrXX> kostkon ok, it is gone,
[12:37] <spongebob> kostkon, I tried changing the channel to, but no diff
[12:37] <fabio__> gfkyvllyb
[12:37] <kostkon> mrXX, ah it's a laptop
[12:37] <zwamkat> Yours, assuming the DNS of your provider is ok.
[12:37] <kostkon> spongebob, :(
[12:37] <mrXX> kostkon its a laptop yeah
[12:37] <spongebob> it's really hard to update....
[12:37] <Mwa> My brightness hotkeys work, my little logitech mouse thing works and the touchpad seems less jittery ^_^
[12:37] <kostkon> mrXX, so everything's ok now?
[12:37] <mrXX> kostkon no
[12:37] <mrXX> i dont get the input from the mic, i can only record that tick sound
[12:38] <zwamkat> spongebob, same issue when surfing using IP's instead of names?
[12:38] <spongebob> mrXX, maybe it's not a tick sound from a clock.
[12:38] <haenet5> hay........................
[12:38] <spongebob> faulty wiring maybe
[12:38] <kostkon> mrXX, do you still get 0 signal level?
[12:38] <cankoy> tim: there's no posix4 lib for Linux, I already told you, you're trying to build some app that does not target Linux (or you've misconfigured the build)
[12:38] <kostkon> mrXX, in sound prefs
[12:38] <mrXX> spongebob lol, it is from the laptop,
[12:38] <kajo> I upgraded to 9.10... while this update caused my mic to start working, it now refuses to mute; this caused a terrible feedback first time I started it. My only options now are to mute the sound or use headphones; what can I do about this? I just need to mute the mic. Clicking 'mute' makes the meter show nothing, but the sound still comes through...
[12:38] <mrXX> kostkon ya still 0 input
[12:38] <zwamkat> Yep, that's a good one to check too!
[12:39] <mrXX> kostkon i have an acer 6350G
[12:39] <spongebob> zwamkat, iunno lemme check
[12:39] <kostkon> mrXX, did you increase any input volume in alsamixer? in alsamixer, select edit → prefs, if there's such an option
[12:40] <mrXX> kostkon i have increased all the volumes
[12:40] <mrXX> kostkon how do i know which audio recording device i have?
[12:40] <Hiram> histo: what package is checkinstall a part of?
[12:40] <kostkon> mrXX, are there any switches you can enable/disable?
[12:40] <spongebob> zwamkat, ok... it's not a problem with dns resolution... pinging returns and IP very quickly
[12:40] <kajo> When I am running system test, the program hangs when it tries to switch to a virtual console and back... I can switch to a virtual console myself, but the program hangs when it tries to.
[12:40] <kostkon> mrXX, what do you mean?
[12:40] <mrXX> kostkon i duuno, but i think no
[12:40] <console1> hi...i have a usb "sinus 111 data" device and i can not connect with wep or wpa to wlan router. i can see my connection in list but can not connect. i can connect from another pc with windows with this device to internet.what can i do?
[12:41] <mrXX> kostkon, maybe the website has some answer for me
[12:41] <kostkon> mrXX, could you post a shot of alsamixer?
[12:41] <kostkon> mrXX, ah, give "aplay -l" in a terminal
[12:41] <Hiram> histo: never mind. i haven't had enough coffee yet.
[12:41] <Manifest> Hi, when I try to connect to a server, it gives me this error: http://imgcapture.info/upload/124bnKAF.png. Can anyone help me out? It's been doing this for a while, and I'm unsure what's wrong.

[12:43] <ActionParsnip> Manifest: remove '/public.html'    from the address, you ftp to servers not web pages
[12:43] <Manifest> Hi, when I try to connect to a server, it gives me this error: http://imgcapture.info/upload/124bnKAF.png. Can anyone help me out? It's been doing this for a while, and I'm unsure what's wrong.
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> Manifest: try<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[12:43] <Manifest> ActionParsnip: Public HTML is not in the address
[12:43] <spongebob> this is very odd... system monitor reports ~120kbps, though my torrents are at 10kbps, downloading of updates at 1kbps and very very slow browsing. :|
[12:43] <Manifest> I am not using Firefox to connect, I am using the connect to server option in Places
[12:44] <adiba1> hi
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> Manifest: strange, ok does the file ~/firefox   exist?
[12:44] <Manifest> ActionParsnip: Yes.
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> Manifest: can you connect with proper ftp clients?
[12:45] <thux> helo, i build wine for karmic to get pulse support, but how can i remove all what apt-get build-dep wine installed?
[12:45] <kostkon> mrXX, why the 2nd capture is only 50%? did you try to increase it?
[12:45] <kostkon> mrXX, also increase the "mic" volume level
[12:45] <spongebob> :\ ok, now it works well...
[12:46] <Hiram> histo: well that worked wonderfully, but now I have another problem. I'm trying to roll the latest version of Snort (<IP_ADDRESS>).  The latest verstion through apt is <IP_ADDRESS>. My problem is that i need the .deb to automagically move the snort.conf, and other config files into the apropriate directories, which the source doesn't do when you compile it manually.
[12:46] <mrXX> i did, no effect, only ticking sound heard lol
[12:46] <isolat3dsh33p> is it a good idea to install madwifi?
[12:47] <spongebob> isolat3dsh33p, it depends...
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> isolat3dsh33p: if your device needs it, yes
[12:47] <adiba1> i'm having a error when i try to mount my partition "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
[12:47] <adiba1> Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE
[12:47] <adiba1> library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated
[12:47] <adiba1> FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at
[12:47] <adiba1> http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged" this error appear when i try to automount my partition with fstab but when a leave it from fstab i had to enter the password to mount it , and i wish automount it like before  :)
[12:47] <FloodBot3> adiba1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:47] <Mwa> Okayyy. I have some more gripes about gedit. How do I make it remember my tabs from before?
[12:48] <Mwa> And add custom thingies to the syntax highlighting
[12:48] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip, my network adapter is atheros ar928x, how do i know that my computer needs it?
[12:48] <ashish> hi
[12:48] <ashish> sadsad
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> isolat3dsh33p: websearches m'boy
[12:48] <spongebob> isolat3dsh33p, well, if ath5k works well already
[12:48] <Mwa> and hopefully make it run shit for me like Notepad++ used to do. I had that set up so that when I hit alt-space it checked that I'd used the correct Lua syntax in the open document
[12:48] <Ziber> Is "default route" broken in 9.04?
[12:48] <Mwa> Because that was reaaaaly useful
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> isolat3dsh33p: if you run: sudo lshw -C network    and use the product line in websearches, you will find guides
[12:49] <spongebob> isolat3dsh33p, not much point in trying madwifi
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> Ziber: no, its needed
[12:50] <isolat3dsh33p> spongebob, its just I hate to refresh multiple time to view a webpage. My wireless connection is so unstable
[12:50] <Ziber> ActionParsnip: ?
[12:50] <Ziber> I'm talking IPv6.
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> Ziber: well you didn't mention that did you?
[12:51] <spongebob> isolat3dsh33p, hmm... nm-applet?   But i may be missing somthing
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> !route
[12:53] <Ziber> ActionParsnip: Well, its working now, that I'm routing via 2000::/3 instead of ::/0 (default).
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> Ziber: http://knowledgelayer.softlayer.com/questions/468/Adding+IPv6+to+Ubuntu+systems
[12:53] <spongebob> isolat3dsh33p, the package name is gnome-network-manager... it's the default network manager that comes with ubuntu. wicd is an alternative
[12:54] <Mwa> Ok this is annoying. Right-click isn't working on my mouse, while middle click barely is. :( Halp
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> spongebob:  isolat3dsh33p: as is wifi-radar
[12:54] <Mwa> (Ububtu Netbook Remix 9.10, Logitech Nano)
[12:54] <isolat3dsh33p> spongebob, i'll do more research. Thanks for the recommendation :D
[12:54] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip, thanks :D
[12:54] <spongebob> isolat3dsh33p, np :)
[12:54] <Boohbah> spongebob: love your nick :)
[12:54] <spongebob> ActionParsnip, and manually setting it in /e/n/i? lol
[12:55] <spongebob> Boohbah, thanks? haha
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> spongebob: thats the way i do it
[12:55] <Boohbah> good morning all
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> !hi | Boohbah
[12:55] <Julia_> I am using broadcom wifi card and Ubuntu karmic. I just installed it and wifi is not working.
[12:56] <Julia_> I have Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g
[12:56] <ThistleWeb> hey guys, I have a problem with xubuntu, compiz and my panel can anyone help?
[12:56] <Julia_> what should I do?
[12:56] <spongebob> ActionParsnip, It takes longer than click>click>type password>connect... esp if you're on the move :)
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> ThistleWeb: can you expand please
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> spongebob: i just prefer it, i find it quicker, plus I dont have to run nm needlessly
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> spongebob: its good for low level users though
[12:57] <bongoman> hallo schönen tag allerseits! hab n kleines problem: nutze fluxbox und will nicht dass der gnome-power-manager läuft, wie kann ich den deaktivieren?
[12:57] <mrXX> has anyone had their acer mic working in ubuntu?
[12:57] <spongebob> ActionParsnip, to each his own :)
[12:57] <bongoman> oh sorry
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> spongebob: indeed
[12:57] <ashish> i can help u
[12:57] <bongoman> this is the english forum i see
[12:57] <ThistleWeb> ActionParsnip: sure, when I lock in, my xfce panel loads first, then compiz, but when compiz loads, my icons in the notification area dont appear. I have to restart my xfce panel after that to see them. I can't get that to stay across reboots
[12:57] <mrXX> ashish is that 4 me?
[12:57] <ashish> yeap
[12:58] <Halitech> !who
[12:58] <mrXX> ashish thanks, appreciate it, - i dont get the mic input level at all
[12:58] <spongebob> ThistleWeb, an empty system tray or no sys tray at all?
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> ThistleWeb: i'd ask in #compiz    compiz is great at screwing stuff up unless you get it really well setup
[12:59] <ThistleWeb> spoilt: the tray is there, exaile etc responds as if the icons are there, but they're invisible until I restart my panel
[12:59] <ThistleWeb> spongebob: tab completion error sorry
[13:00] <spongebob> hmm... odd. compiz only?
[13:00] <ThistleWeb> I looked at the startup options to try and get compiz to start first, but it seems to make no difference
[13:01] <ThistleWeb> is it a lower number starting first or a higher number in the priority order?
[13:01] <spongebob> ok, I really think my ISP is the problem, not my wifi card. :(
[13:01] <ThistleWeb> I tried at both ends but no difference
[13:01] <Torllan> for init.d lower number has higher priority
[13:01] <spongebob> ThistleWeb, I think it's top to bottom.
[13:02] <gionnico> best and light torrent client ?
[13:02] <gionnico> I liked deluge (much like uTorrent), but it doesnt support magnet links
[13:02] <shooree> heya. I'm trying to connect to a hidden wireless, but when I fill out the details such as password and IP, and select the newly created connection from the list, the option to connect is grayed out. Why is this happening? I know I've got correct settings.
[13:02] <ThistleWeb> k, all my other xfce stuff is at 40, compiz was at 50 when I started trying that
[13:02] <Dr_Willis> gionnico:  depends on what features you need.  Ive never used magnet so no idea on that
[13:03] <Kikela> hello, before install, Ubuntu have a lot of software in x86_64 ? or it's better to stay in x86_32 ?
[13:03] <Infinitas> !tab
[13:03] <Zzenon> hi
[13:03] <darksector> Do we have sound themes for ubuntu ? i can't find them anywhere
[13:03] <spongebob> gionnico, ktorrent :lol: Its got features that shouldn't be in a torrent program. it just doesn't have a "start minimized to tray" option.
[13:03] <Zzenon> i have a problem with virt-manager
[13:04] <spongebob> ThistleWeb, sorry, I don't know why
[13:04] <Zzenon> TCP/IP error: VNC connection to hypervisor host got refused or disconnected!
[13:04] <Torllan> Kikela, that depends on your hw
[13:04] <ThistleWeb> spongebob: thats fine, I'll try compiz later
[13:04] <ThistleWeb> ty anyway
[13:04] <^c|0ud^> is there an application for ubuntu to assignment specific applications to run in a certain workspace?
[13:04] <gionnico> spongebob: so ktorrent you say complete and light?
[13:04] <spongebob> darksector, I think /usr/share/sounds
[13:05] <darksector> spongebob: no i meant sound themes installable themes not the directory where they are installed
[13:05] <Kikela> Torllan, my hardware it's a x64 Core 2 Duo, but if you have only the system in x64 and no software, it's better to stay in x32
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> gionnico:  i use ktorrent. Is got more features then most torrent clients. but its also a kde4 app. so it will not be 'lite'
[13:06] <spongebob> gionnico, depends... it depends on some kde stuff I think, 12m memory usage right now.
[13:06] <Mac8a> how do you show the userlist in XChat for GNOME?
[13:06] <Torllan> Kikela, true, but it would've been better not to get x64 hw to start with then...
[13:06] <bradpitt> ktorrent is not working on private tracker e.g bitsoup
[13:06] <gionnico> Dr_Willis, spongebob .. well i'm on eee-pc 701
[13:06] <gionnico> celeron 630MHz
[13:06] <spongebob> darksector, well, I saw an installable sound theme from the nanami madobe pack, but I haven't tried installing it.
[13:06] <Torllan> anyway, 32bit programs are runnable in x64 env
[13:06] <IdleOne> Mac8a: it is hidden by default, you need to click and expand it. should be on the right side of the client
[13:06] <om26er> bradpitt, use anyother client. and private tracker might be down
[13:07] <legend2440> Mac8a: click on bootom left where it says  1430 Users
[13:07] <PIZZATASTEGOOD> Hi
[13:07] <spongebob> gionnico, not sure if ktorrent would be good then. I haven't tried it on that hardware yet.
[13:07] <PIZZATASTEGOOD> What exactly does Wubi do, will it partition my drive?
[13:08] <spongebob> PIZZATASTEGOOD, nope
[13:08] <gionnico> spongebob: what about transmission?
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> PIZZATASTEGOOD:  it does not make partitions. it installs ubuntu into a 'file' on the windows drive.
[13:08] <gionnico> it's gtk..
[13:08] <PIZZATASTEGOOD> then?
[13:08] <LjL> PIZZATASTEGOOD: no, it will create a file inside your windows filesystem which will *behave* as a partition
[13:08] <spongebob> PIZZATASTEGOOD, it just makes a disk image
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> PIZZATASTEGOOD:  i reccomend using a normal way to install ubuntu.
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> PIZZATASTEGOOD:  not using wubi to insstall ubuntu  'under/inside' windows
[13:08] <pozic> How do I use update-manager behind a proxy?
[13:09] <pozic> (Jaunty to upgrade to Karmic)
[13:09] <^c|0ud^> is there an application for ubuntu to assignment specific applications to run in a certain workspace?
[13:09] <PIZZATASTEGOOD> so if i delete the file, everything will be normal again?
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> PIZZATASTEGOOD:  you would use the normal add/remove programs feature of windows to 'remove' ubuntu.
[13:09] <husinjalal> just set the proxy address
[13:09] <Kikela> Torllan, what i mean it's you need x64 & x32 library like for skype, no ?
[13:09] <quibbler> !wubi | PIZZATASTEGOOD
[13:09] <pozic> husinjalal: I wouldn't ask if it worked.
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> PIZZATASTEGOOD:  if you want to just test out ubuntu. Youmay want to try running it inside virtualbox.
[13:10] <spongebob> gionnico, transmissions fine with me too... haven't encountered problems
[13:10] <PIZZATASTEGOOD> I want to use Ubuntu, without messing up my windows xp
[13:10] <pozic> husinjalal: https://launchpad.net/bugs/73463
[13:10] <Mac8a> where's the users list in GNOME Xchat?
[13:10] <spongebob> ^c|0ud^, your window manager
[13:10] <Mac8a> nm
[13:10] <Mac8a> found it
[13:10] <quibbler> !duel boot | PIZZATASTEGOOD
[13:10] <pozic> husinjalal: it is supposedly fixed, but I don't see a new version of update-manager, so it is useless.
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> PIZZATASTEGOOD:  i have no issues with 'messing up windows' by using a normal install method.  I do know enough about partitions to partiopn my drive properly :) the installer can automate this
[13:11] <quibbler> !duelboot | PIZZATASTEGOOD
[13:11] <spongebob> quibbler, lol
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> PIZZATASTEGOOD: you can use wubi if you like, easier to grab a USB stick and install to that
[13:11] <Torllan> Kikela, possibly. I'm not sure though as I don't have x64 available to play around with...
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> PIZZATASTEGOOD:  if you want the least impact. test it out via the live cd.
[13:11] <spongebob> quibbler, I think you mean dual boot dude
[13:11] <legend2440> Mac8a: if you mean  xchat-gnome  click on bottom left where it says  1430 Users
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> quibbler: its dual, not duel
[13:11] <LjL> quibbler: it's spelled DUAL boot.
[13:11] <pozic> I press the "Upgrade" button and it just hangs there.
[13:11] <Guest60434> If I install something on a Live-CD-session, and then use the USB-creator tool, will these applicatoins be added?
[13:11]  * Dr_Willis has visions of cowboy boots fighting with work boots.
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> Guest60434:  Nope. Dont think so.
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> Guest60434:  that wouldbe too nice. :)
[13:12] <PIZZATASTEGOOD> If i normally install ubuntu the normal way, will it partition my drive?
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> PIZZATASTEGOOD: or you can resize ntfs to make room for the install (backup your data just incase)
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> Guest60434:  you can make a persistant save on the flash drive then install things howeverf
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> PIZZATASTEGOOD: it can, you can resize as part of the installation
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> PIZZATASTEGOOD:  it will resize  the existing and add partitions. yes. It can dothat
[13:13] <om26er> this time on my ubuntu install i made a separate /home how will it turn out to be helpful on my next install.(how to use it)
[13:13] <lb__> hi! can you just pop in a Karmic disc into a Hardy and do a direct upgrade?
[13:13] <Guest60434> Dr_Willis: it would, I need some extra drivers etc. to make a usable live-USB
[13:13] <Guest60434> Dr_Willis: That would be a possability yes :)
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> Guest60434:  I made a usb-live for each of my pc's with the specific drivers each needed.
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> om26er: good move, saves heartache if you need a reinstall
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> Guest60434:  ive installed the nvidia and ati and wireless drivers onto a usb-disk-creator made usb flash befor.
[13:14] <Guest60434> But I don't won't any other changes to be persistence to the USB though. Is that possible?
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> Guest60434:  you would need to 'remaster' then. Ive never done that
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> !remaster
[13:15] <cankoy> lb__: with alternate iso, yes
[13:15] <Torllan> Kikela, have a read through this document: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=432295&highlight=skype
[13:15] <Guest60434> Dr_Willis: Well, looks like it is time to learn some new stuff then :/
[13:15] <Mac8a> legend2440, <Mac8a> nm <Mac8a> found it
[13:15] <cankoy> lb__: hmm, no, not from Hardy, only from Jaunty
[13:15] <Torllan> you can find tons of cool stuff on medibuntu
[13:15] <om26er> ActionParsnip, how will that /home be used at next install?
[13:15] <lb__> thanks, cankoy. only adjacent version numbers then? :/
[13:16] <cichlasoma> don't you know whether i get "a real ubuntu" when i install ubuntu-desktop into kubuntu and remove the whole kubuntu-desktop?
[13:16] <quibbler> thank you gentlemen for the spelling lesson ....I haven't had the problem but it can be duel boot if you have problems with it
[13:16] <Guest60434> Dr_Willis: Thanks for quick answers by the way :)
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> cichlasoma:  for the most part you have 'ubuntu' then.
[13:16] <om26er> !puregnome | cichlasoma
[13:16] <cichlasoma> what would be the missing part?
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> cichlasoma:  there may still be a few little bits of kubuntu laying about.. but I always keep both desktops installed
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> om26er: you set it to mount to /home in custom partitioning but tell the installer not to format it
[13:16] <cankoy> lb__: yes, every release explicitly mentions such details, refer to relevant upgrade notes.
[13:16] <Torllan> cichlasoma, kubuntu is ubuntu but with kde desktop
[13:17] <Halitech> lb__, and you need the alternate install cds to use for upgrading, you can't do it with the live cd
[13:17] <om26er> ActionParsnip, thanx
[13:18] <alabd> Good day everyone, where can kvpnc be downloaded for 9.04 ?
[13:19] <om26er> alabd, google
[13:19] <cichlasoma> yes, my question is whether i  get EXACTLY the same when i replace kubuntu's desktop as if i installed ubuntu. i mean, could there be some problems with the "replaced" version which there wouldn't be with a "real" ubuntu?
[13:19] <mgolisch> isnt it in the package repo
[13:19] <mgolisch> ?
[13:19] <kajo> I upgraded to 9.10... while this update caused my mic to start working, it now refuses to mute; this caused a terrible feedback first time I started it. My only options now are to mute the sound or use headphones; what can I do about this? I just need to mute the mic. Clicking 'mute' makes the meter show nothing, but the sound still comes through...
[13:19] <johnhampsey> Hi, I'm new(ish) to linux & ubuntu. Just recently upgraded to karmic, but now firefox doesn't play videos, or flash stuff on websites. yet system says all plugins are added. any help out there?
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> cichlasoma:  there should be no problems
[13:20] <alabd> why it i not in rep ?
[13:20] <cichlasoma> Dr_Willis: thanks! :-)
[13:20] <alabd> is openvpn beter than kvpnc ?
[13:20] <mgolisch> no
[13:20] <mgolisch> kvpnc is a frontend to multiple vpn client
[13:21] <mgolisch> whats your goal?
[13:22] <cichlasoma> well and is it EXACTLY the same to install ubuntu and add kubuntu-desktop as to install Kubuntu and add ubuntu-desktop?
[13:22] <pozic> Does anyone know how you can upgrade behind a proxy?
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> cichlasoma:  thre may be some left over files laying about.. depending on what you have done
[13:23] <Torllan> cichlasoma, i suppose in kubuntu there's specific optimizations for the kde desktop like in ubuntu those are for gnome
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> cirkit:  i tend to install ubuntu, then add kubuntu-desktop
[13:24] <Halitech> cichlasoma, see here http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> oops that was for cichlasoma  :)
[13:24] <mrXX> guys, is there a way to create a playlist consisting of youtube links to play in rhythmbox or totem?
[13:24] <martin_> pozic, set your proxy settings in system, preferences, network proxy
[13:24] <mimir|afk> hi, is anyone using PHP with nginx ?
[13:25] <nether1> Just installed Ubuntu 9.10, why aren't my speakers working?
[13:25] <alabd> How to install Ipsec daemon on 9.04 ?
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> !ipsec
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> !find ipsec
[13:25] <pozic> martin_: I can browse the web just fine or download just about anything else. I can also use IRC just fine as you can see.
[13:26] <pozic> martin_: in other words, I set my proxy.
[13:26] <martin_> pozic, are you using synaptic package manager?
[13:26] <Halitech> pozic, can you pastebin what happens when you try sudo apt-get update
[13:26] <pozic> martin_: the problem is that the authors of update-manager thought that nobody uses proxy servers.
[13:27] <pozic> martin_: I believe they fixed it now, but I cannot get the fixes into Jaunty.
[13:27] <pozic> Halitech: it works.
[13:27] <martin_> pozic, I've upgraded from behind a proxy for years
[13:27] <cichlasoma> Dr_Willis, Torllan: thanks again! :-)
[13:27] <pozic> martin_: no, I am not using synaptic package manager.
[13:27] <pozic> martin_: the recommend way is to use update-manager AFAIK.
[13:28] <Torllan> cichlasoma, ur welcome
[13:28] <pozic> martin_: unless you know that synaptic manager does _exactly_ the same as do-release-upgrade.
[13:28] <Laurenceb> I've got an acer aspire laptop running hardy, it has a but in card reader, but its not picking up SD cards, any ideas?
[13:28] <husinjalal> i'm using command line update most of the time
[13:28] <Laurenceb> sd cards never get mounted
[13:28] <martin_> pozic, I was only asking about package manager as it has a separate tab for proxy settings
[13:28] <pozic> Laurenceb: did you load the drivers?
[13:28] <pozic> martin_: yes, and Synaptic works fine.
[13:29] <Laurenceb> pozic:they usually work
[13:29] <pozic> martin_: Synaptic is also a horrible application, because it doesn't use the Gnome settings.
[13:29] <pozic> Just like Thunderbird doesn't integrate with the system.
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> I think synaptic was around befor gnome. :)
[13:29] <Laurenceb> maybe hardware broke?
[13:29] <pozic> Dr_Willis: irrelevant
[13:29] <nether1> I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and now There are no audio hardware devices available in the Sound Preferences/Hardware.  Consequently, no sound.
[13:30] <Laurenceb> pozic: is there a way I can check my hardware?
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> pozic:  its not a gnome app. so it cant be expected to use gnome settings. thats rellent. and i also hear it may get removed in the next release.
[13:30] <Torllan> nether1, have you checked dmesg?
[13:30] <pozic> Dr_Willis: Ubuntu is "the desktop" for Ubuntu and Synaptic was/is a suggested application for Ubuntu.
[13:30] <pozic> Dr_Willis: er Gnome
[13:30] <alabd> !find vtund
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> pozic:  thats slowly changeeing.
[13:31] <pozic> Dr_Willis: yes, it might be changing, but it was true until Jaunty.
[13:31] <Halitech> nether1, whats the output of lspci | grep Multimedia
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> lots of loose ends and polish still going on
[13:31] <pozic> Dr_Willis: so, they just cluster fucked up there.
[13:31] <alabd> Dr_Willis: for vtund which package should be installed?
[13:31] <rcaskey> I'd like to add that synaptic is horrible :P
[13:31] <nether1> I have not, i'm still new to Ubuntu, just installed it last night. It's a Realtek and it's not muted, i checked
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> alabd:  no idea.
[13:31] <slope> I'm trying to set up my gmail (imap) account in evolution but it never asks me for my password. I've deleted everything in the ~/.evolution folder and removed my password in Seahorse but still no luck. Any ideas?
[13:31] <pozic> So, back to my problem: how can you upgrade Jaunty to Karmic?
[13:31] <Mwa> How would I recursively loop through a whole directory structure and automatically remove all .svn folders?
[13:31] <pac0> hi all people, i have a little problem using mount with one partition on hfs+, i have deactivated journal, and now mounted with that command: hfsplus user,auto,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0, but i only can read, cant writte =(
[13:31] <raik> how to hide ip address?
[13:32] <husinjalal> or just type sudo hwinfo
[13:32] <_Narc_> Hey folks, Nautilus just crashed, it's okay but anyone knows the command to relaunch it, my desktop has no icons anymore and I don't wanna reboot
[13:32] <pozic> MenZa: find . -name .svn -exec rm {} \;   , IIRC
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> Mwa:  use of the 'find' command. can proberly do that once ya learn the proper syntax. i always have to look it up
[13:32] <husinjalal> or just type sudo hwinfo > hardware
[13:32] <slope> raik: hide it where?
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> Mwa:  always test out find statemets with 'echo' beofr actually using 'rm' in them. Just in case theres a mistake in them
[13:32] <eddym> i found a solution for all the webcams
[13:32] <raik> i mean hide it from other from viewing. slope
[13:32] <eddym> hey dr_willis
[13:32] <martin_> Mwa, find . -name ".svn" -exec rm -fr {} \;
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> raik:  on irc? You can request a ip cloak on this server. but its proberly not needed
[13:33] <slope> raik: where do you want to hide it? who don't you want to see it? why? give us some more info or we can't help you.
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> eddym:  'all' ? :) thats a large #
[13:34] <IdleOne> !cloke | raik
[13:34] <raik> i want a fake ip address instead of my real ip address shown to other people or sites. slope
[13:34] <IdleOne> !cloak | raik
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> raik:  then use tor perhaps?
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> raik:  or some annomizer proxys
[13:35] <raik> is tor plugin or softwares. Dr_willis
[13:35] <eddym> Dr_Willis, yeah put the old ones in a box and buy this one http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/webcam_communications/webcams/devices/4528&cl=us,en
[13:35] <eddym> :-D
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> !tor | raik
[13:36] <john06> hi
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> heh.. raik  tor is a anomiozer proxy system. check out its homepage.
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> raik:  its softwre. but its not in the repos last i checked
[13:36] <slope> raik: don't use tor before reading about it properly. Anything you send unencrypted can be read by the last node.
[13:36] <martin_> asked on ubuntu-uk this morning but no one knew - this mornings 9.10 update fails to install anything with error in sysv-rc - see http://paste.ubuntu.com/322243/ any ideas
[13:36] <slope> That means passwords, personal information, anything.
[13:37] <john06> have a question here: where are, in the fsm the inodes created through the gnome menu (i.e., sshfs/sftp)?
[13:37] <john06> ...fs
[13:37] <john06> s/fsm/fs,
[13:37] <gg> how can i arhive an folder ( exemple ) Desktop/Pictures/*     i want to arhive in pics.tgz or pics.tar.gz
[13:37] <martin_> dpkg: error processing sysv-rc (--configure):, subprocess installed post-installation script killed by signal (Segmentation fault), core dumped
[13:37] <kartook> how can i post any chance to help for this issue http://paste.ubuntu.com/322391/
[13:37] <nether1> When I go to preferences it does not detect any hardware, under output it says Dummy Output, so this means i have no sound at all, not even in headphones. this happened after I installed Ubuntu 9.10. Can anyone help me?
[13:37] <kartook> i am using 9.04 64 bit
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> martin_:  update/upgrading right now.. lets see if i get an error
[13:38] <Halitech> nether1, whats the output of lspci | grep Multimedia
[13:38] <nether1> Halitech: how do I check that?
[13:38] <husinjalal> gg right click --> compress
[13:38] <siropio> hi guys could anyone tell how i can open a folder in grapshical  from terminal
[13:39] <husinjalal> gg right click --> compress in nautilus
[13:39] <Halitech> nether1, open a terminal and run that command
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> siropio:  nautilus /path/to/location   i think
[13:39] <gg> husinjalal  : but via terminal how can i do it ?
[13:39] <kartook> compiz GPG error :(
[13:39] <kartook> http://paste.ubuntu.com/322391/
[13:40] <raik> does using tor in browser make browser slow?
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> raik:  there will be a slowdown . yes.
[13:40] <slope> raik: tor will also be slow and not something you want to use all the time. If you're willing to pay look for a VPN tunnel service. It all depends on how anonymous you want to be.
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> Thers being 'secure' then thers being 'paranoid' :)
[13:40] <siropio> Dr_Willis: you were right thanks
[13:41] <pozic> raik: the concept of "hiding an IP address" in an absolute sense does not exist.
[13:41] <pozic> raik: it will be relative to computational security.
[13:41] <pozic> raik: and relative to who is operating the nodes.
[13:41] <fantomas|wrk> hi all
[13:41] <pozic> raik: and relative to the countries in which those nodes are located.
[13:42] <pozic> raik: not one simple quick fix.
[13:42] <fantomas|wrk> Is there a fresh build of Pidgin for Karmic?
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> fantomas|wrk:  there might be more up to date PPA repos for it.
[13:42] <martin_> Dr_Willis, I would not mind so much except even when I uncheck sysv it fails and refuses to do the other updates
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> martin_:  i just update/upgraded here. and had no issues.
[13:42] <fantomas|wrk> Dr_Willis: might.  Its a little aqwkward. i tend to search google and the forums to find info on ppa's
[13:43] <martin_> Dr_Willis, oh, its just me then :-(
[13:43] <slope> raik: come back if you still have any questions after you've you've read http://www.torproject.org/overview.html.en and http://www.torproject.org/download.html.en#Warning and https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> martin_:  i got 3 more machines to update. :) lets see
[13:43] <fantomas|wrk> Dr_Willis: ok, good idea.
[13:44] <PIZZATASTEGOOD> Should i use Wubi or do a proper install? and why
[13:44] <Christoffer> O_o
[13:45] <Halitech> PIZZATASTEGOOD, proper install, anything happens to windows and there goes your Ubuntu install, runs faster on a native install, better support for proper install
[13:45] <PIZZATASTEGOOD> What if i no longer want ubuntu?
[13:45] <Sicario> hi
[13:45] <slope> PIZZATASTEGOOD: Use wubi if you're not willing to format/partition your hard drive and only want to try it out. Otherwise proper.
[13:46] <martin_> Dr_Willis, someone else with it -<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[13:46] <PIZZATASTEGOOD> will i have to reformat my drive if i dont want ubuntu anymore?
[13:46] <kartook> gpg error http://paste.ubuntu.com/322391/
[13:46] <Halitech> PIZZATASTEGOOD, use your windows instll cd to repair the MBR and then format the partition that ubuntu is installed on
[13:46] <Sicario> how can i setup ubuntu thems
[13:47] <PIZZATASTEGOOD> i currently dont have any partitions, the ubuntu installer will make one for me right?
[13:47] <slope> Sicario: google: how to install gnome themes
[13:47] <bazhang> slope, please dont recommend that here
[13:47] <Halitech> PIZZATASTEGOOD, yes it will, I recommend defragging your drive at least twice before you partition it though
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> PIZZATASTEGOOD:  you delete the partition ubuntu is on, let windows reformat it, and reinstall the windows boot loader. to remove linux
[13:47] <mezquitale> PIZZATASTEGOOD, you alreaady have windows installed?
[13:48] <PIZZATASTEGOOD> i have windows xp installed
[13:48] <Myxb> i have a problem with fonts in QT apps. i do not need antialiasing and GTK apps look fine, but QT apps look ugly. Earlier it was OK though. I use verdana and terminus fonts in both cases. can anyone help?
[13:48] <pozic> I have the karmic repositories in my sources.list file, now why doesn't it make vlc-1.02 available?
[13:48] <mezquitale> PIZZATASTEGOOD, use a live CD with Gparted to free up space on our hard drive, how big is your hard drive?
[13:48] <husinjalal> before doing anything to xp ..... better backup first & defrag .....
[13:48] <Sicario> hi
[13:48] <bazhang> Sicario, get a theme, from gnome-look.org  then drag the tar.gz to the theme manager
[13:48] <slope> bazhang: why not? I tried it before replying  and the first result has the answer.
[13:49] <Halitech> !google
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> !info vlc
[13:49] <mezquitale> !goggle | slope
[13:49] <Sicario> ok
[13:49] <bazhang> slope, this is not a google re-direct.
[13:49] <PIZZATASTEGOOD> if i delete the partition that ubuntu made, will my hard drive get all the space back without losing data/reformating
[13:49] <mezquitale> !search
[13:49] <slope> Halitech: that's why I said what to google as well
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> pozic:  common issues. Universe, not enabled. or you dident 'update' after  making the changes
[13:50] <pozic> Dr_Willis: it was not universe, but probably vlc depends on some stuff which is not in universe.
[13:50] <pozic> Dr_Willis: I fixed it.
[13:50] <Halitech> PIZZATASTEGOOD, no because windows can't natively read linux partitions
[13:50] <PIZZATASTEGOOD> then i'll just wubi
[13:50] <Dr_Willis> PIZZATASTEGOOD:  you will have to reformat the LINUX parittion to let windows use that space.
[13:51] <husinjalal> before doing anything to xp ..... better backup first & defrag ..... :D
[13:51] <pozic> PIZZATASTEGOOD: you can read EXT3 from Windows.
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> PIZZATASTEGOOD:  thats not the same as 'loseing all your windows data'
[13:51] <pozic> PIZZATASTEGOOD: (if that is what you want to do)
[13:51] <mezquitale> PIZZATASTEGOOD, if you delete to stop using ubuntu you will have to use a utility like Gparted to delete the partition you created for ubuntu and reclaim the space for your windows partition
[13:52] <Halitech> pozic, natively?
[13:52] <PIZZATASTEGOOD> if i reformat the ubuntu partition, will it still be a partition? or will the space be added to the original one partition
[13:52] <pozic> Halitech: what does that even mean?
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> PIZZATASTEGOOD:  learning how pc's partiion drives and how partions work . Is knowledge well worth learning. :)
[13:52] <pozic> Halitech: just instructions executed on a CPU.
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> PIZZATASTEGOOD:  its a seperate partition. Unless you reeize the windows partition to use the space
[13:52] <pozic> Halitech: there is no scripting language in between, if that is what you mean.
[13:52] <Halitech> pozic, without adding any extra software windows cannot read ext3
[13:52] <slope> PIZZATASTEGOOD: really, the easiest way is to get a livecd and play around, if you're still undecided do wubi. When and if you decide to switch do a proper install. And always have a backup before doing stuff like repartitioning your hard drive.
[13:52] <kajo> why have all my contacts disappeared from all my IM accounts on pidgin after upgrade to 9.10?
[13:53] <kajo> How do I get them back?
[13:53] <pozic> Halitech: without extra software Windows cannot be used at all.
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning
[13:53] <PIZZATASTEGOOD> Will a Wubi install be slower and stuff then a proper install
[13:53] <Halitech> pozic, exactly my point
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> PIZZATASTEGOOD:  it may be a tad slower.
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> PIZZATASTEGOOD:  I tend to test things out in virtualbox (slower) but it lets you run both os's at the same time
[13:54] <BCMM> can somebody help with a machine which i cannot make sound come out of?
[13:54] <slope> PIZZATASTEGOOD: read http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
[13:54] <IndiRedif> Question for knowledgeable people - my upgrade from 9.04 to the latest Ubuntu has failed almost totally. I am not able to log on at all. This is a Dell Vostro 1700 laptop and I must have upgraded two versions (since I limited my old versions on grub to 2). Can anyone help me to either go forward or fall back to 9.04?
[13:54] <BCMM> it worked before the last dist-upgrade
[13:55] <eddym> do you guys think this would work in ubuntu 9.10 http://www.gizfever.com/usb-webcam-with-speaker-microphone-p-525.html
[13:55] <Halitech> BCMM, whats the output of lspci | grep Multimedia
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> IndiRedif: you can't downgrade
[13:55] <IndiRedif> Ohh
[13:55] <BCMM> i've checked things aren't muted
[13:55] <husinjalal> try install fresh ....
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> IndiRedif: if you log on to root recovery console, can you create a new user and log on as that?
[13:55] <Infinitas> IndiRedif: I suggest you do a fresh install.
[13:56] <IndiRedif> Infinitas - does that menan d/l a 9.1 image and reinstall?
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> wow you guys throw in the towel fast
[13:56] <sipior> seriously.
[13:56] <silidan> hi i need to give my user read and write acces to the usb file system (usbfs) how can i do this?
[13:56] <IndiRedif> ActionParsnip - on recovery console I can log on as before - but only to the text console
[13:56] <IndiRedif> No GUI
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> silidan: use better mount options
[13:56] <BCMM> Halitech: no output
[13:56] <Infinitas> IndiRedif: Yes, that's what it means.
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> IndiRedif: thats great, make a new user there and then reboot to log on as the new user
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> IndiRedif: if its ok, your original user is bad somehow. If it doesnt log in either then its a system issue
[13:57] <BCMM> Halitech: this might be relevant though: 00:0f.0 Audio device: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Azalia Audio Controller
[13:57] <silidan> ActionParsnip: hm... it is the manual of virtualbox that states that... in order to use usb for the virtual machine... so im actually not sure what that means..
[13:57] <Halitech> BCMM, then its not seeing your sound card, can you use pastebin and post the full output of lspci
[13:57] <IndiRedif> ActionParsnip - I am currently inWindoze - so I'll have to log off, do what you are suggesting and then try it
[13:57] <IndiRedif> So it is not going to be easy to chat about it
[13:57] <Sicario> whats up
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> !adduser | IndiRedif
[13:57] <Infinitas> IndiRedif: G'luck.
[13:57] <silidan> ActionParsnip: i didnt ever mount my USB webcam or USB mouse though
[13:57] <IndiRedif> Infinitas - thx
[13:57] <BCMM> Halitech: the device looks like it should work, i can change mixer settings and so on
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> silidan: make sure the USB ports are activated in the virtualboxes settings. you will need to power off the vbox to edit
[13:58] <silidan> ActionParsnip: yep they are added
[13:58] <Halitech> BCMM, speakers connected to the correct port? (dumb question but its happened before)
[13:58] <BCMM> Halitech: i can make the pc-speaker beeps come out of it (it's a laptop) and make it reproduce sound from the microphone by playing with the mixer settings
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> silidan: you don't mount mice, only block devices
[13:58] <BCMM> Halitech: built-in
[13:58] <BCMM> Halitech: also tried headphones
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> silidan: maybe you need the guest additions
[13:58] <IndiRedif> OK folks - thx for the advise - I'll check back in later
[13:58] <BCMM> Halitech: also dual-booted windows, where it still works fine
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> Mouse with built in usb flash drive. :)
[13:58] <Halitech> BCMM, just seen that you are using a laptop
[13:58] <silidan> but when the machine runs the webcam and mouse is still greyed out..
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. that would be neat.
[13:59] <julioneto> Hi all... I'd like to transfer my musics to my MP3 player... My musics are in OGG and my MP3 Player does support it, but Rhythmbox always convert any music to MP3 when transfering it to there. :/
[13:59] <julioneto> Is there how transfer the music (with Rhythmbox) whithout convert it?
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> silidan: if you want access to your usb devices, you can cheat and simply add the folder the USB stick mounts to as a drive letter (guessing the vbox is windows)
[13:59] <BCMM> Halitech: and anyway it clearly can make sound, such as pc-speaker beeps and repeating microphone input
[13:59] <BCMM> just nothing from the actual system
[14:00] <BCMM> not using aplay, not using mplayer -vo oss or sdl or alsa, not using cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
[14:00] <mikehh> I had a problem with an svn update and now I have files set as Read-only file system - how do I clear that up?
[14:00] <z4s_> hi somebody knows the name for one program to control the starts programs?
[14:00] <z4s_> hi
[14:00] <silidan> ActionParsnip: where can i get the Guest Additions? (i cant find them on the VirtualBox download page)
[14:00] <z4s_> somebody know the name for a programa that control the startup programs?
[14:00] <BCMM> like i say, things were fine before the last distro upgrade, give or take a codec issue
[14:01] <husinjalal> sudo rcconf
[14:01] <kostkon> BCMM, did you upgrade from 9.04?
[14:01] <Slart> !boot | z4s_
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> silidan: in the virtualbox desktop window click   device -> guest additions (top bar of the desktop)
[14:01] <husinjalal> z4s ... sudo rcconf
[14:02] <BCMM> kostkon:  owner of the laptop isn't sure
[14:02] <silidan> ActionParsnip: ok will try
[14:02] <BCMM> kostkon: but pretty sure it's currently at most recent version, and was, before that, at next most recent version
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> silidan: http://www.dedoimedo.com/images/computers/2008/virtualbox-install-guest-additions.jpg
[14:02] <kostkon> BCMM, ok
[14:02] <z4s_> i remember that i install with apt-get,
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> z4s_:  you mwan user  - or 'system'  Programs?
[14:03] <BCMM> kostkon: yeah, just checked lsb_release -r, at 9.10 now
[14:03] <z4s_> Slart, was a special program...
[14:03] <kostkon> BCMM, and no sound at all?
[14:03] <wilhart> hello in group audio:x:29:pulse,wilhart
[14:03] <wilhart> is that right or is it pulse:wilhart
[14:03] <wilhart> ?
[14:03] <BCMM> kostkon: nothing from applications
[14:03] <z4s_> i wana choose all programs who start and who not...
[14:03] <Slart> z4s_: bum isn't special? or it isn't a program?
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> z4s_:  theres several programs that can confgure such things. BUt with 9.10 some have notbeen updated to work with 'Upstart'
[14:03] <BCMM> kostkon: can make the mic input come out of the speakers or adjust system beep volume just by playing with mixers
[14:04] <z4s_> sorry, but i dont use ubunu, i use debian, but it uvuntu is to
[14:04] <BCMM> kostkon: but no way to make sound with software
[14:04] <z4s_> ubuntu*
[14:04] <Jygga> Nov 19 15:02:18 cray sshd[20681]: PAM _pam_load_conf_file: error reading /etc/pam.d/common-account: Critical error - immediate abort
[14:04] <wilhart> anyone ?????
[14:04] <BCMM> kostkon: not even cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
[14:04] <wilhart> hello in group audio:x:29:pulse,wilhart or pulse:wilhart ??
[14:05] <Jygga> can somebody give me a hint where i should start looking for misconfiguration? that file is there and the settings are default
[14:05] <Khul> blah
[14:05] <Dr_Willis> Jygga:  check permissions/ownership?
[14:06] <Dr_Willis> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1208 2009-10-19 08:12 /etc/pam.d/common-account
[14:06] <sipior> wilhart: no, the comma separation is correct. see "man group"
[14:06] <wilhart> sipior: , ? ok
[14:06] <kostkon> BCMM, did he/she tried to setup the output device in sound prefs?
[14:06] <bazhang> z4s_, debian?
[14:07] <silidan> ActionParsnip: well i installed the guestadditions... still greyed out the usb devices..
[14:07] <BCMM> kostkon: it's actually a kubuntu system; what is sound prefs?
[14:07] <kostkon> BCMM, oh :S
[14:07] <bazhang> z4s_, debian help in #debian
[14:07] <Halitech> !ati > Halitech
[14:07] <kostkon> BCMM, can't help much then :(
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> silidan: do you mean in the config of the box, or in the guest OS itself?
[14:08] <BCMM> kostkon: i presumed it was OK to ask in here, since it doesn't seem to be kde-related at all
[14:08] <BCMM> kostkon: but i don't think she changed any settings; it just died with the distro upgrade
[14:08] <silidan> em... when the guest os is started there at bottom there are some buttons one of them is for usb stuff and with rightclick thats greyed out..
[14:08] <Furtano> hy
[14:08] <Furtano> my ubuntuone does'nt synchronise but its connected
[14:09] <silidan> ActionParsnip: em... when the guest os is started there at bottom there are some buttons one of them is for usb stuff and with rightclick thats greyed out..
[14:09] <kostkon> BCMM, aha. she could check it's hardware volume levels. although maybe using the kde mixer can access them already
[14:09] <BCMM> kostkon: i've unmuted everything using alsamixer
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> silidan: have you asked in #vbox  ?
[14:09] <kostkon> BCMM, ah ok. i don't really know if kubuntu uses pulse or not
[14:10] <silidan> ActionParsnip: not yet... but thanks for the hint will ask there
[14:10] <BCMM> kostkon: like i said, i confirmed the speaker was working by setting it to output the mic input
[14:10] <scottandmonique> sudo apt-get autoremove
[14:10] <kostkon> BCMM, hmm
[14:10] <BCMM> kostkon: yeah, kubuntu users pulse, but shouldn't cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp by unaffected by Pulse issues?
[14:10] <nerdy_kid> i have an older NVIDIA card with jaunty and im stuck in either 320x240 or 640x480 resolotion.  ?
[14:11] <BCMM> kostkon: (i did that from a VT login so Pulse wouldn't be locking up the device)
[14:11] <kostkon> BCMM, yeah
[14:11] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: using propriatary or open-source drivers?
[14:11] <Khul> does any1 know how to change the video resolution using the Ubuntu recovery mode ? please..i got OVERRANGE plroblem and i cant fix it :S
[14:11] <robo> hi: can anyone tell me where the vpn settings are saved? I backed up and upgraded to a newer verson of ubuntu and i'd like to restore my old vpn settings
[14:11] <nerdy_kid> BCMM yes, i just enabled NVIDIA drivers --hang on ill get the version #
[14:11] <kostkon> BCMM, is it a laptop?
[14:11] <nerdy_kid> BCMM my res was fine before the drivers, but i need the drivers
[14:11] <BCMM> kostkon: yeah
[14:12] <kostkon> BCMM, ok
[14:12] <BCMM> kostkon: worked OK before the dist-upgrade though
[14:12] <Keypad> Hi, im having problems connecting to SSH on localhost. I think somethings blocking port 22
[14:12] <Furtano> AH FUCK UP UBUNTU DOESNT SNYCHRONIZE MY HOMEWORK IDIOT UBUNTU CUFKFJOÜA
[14:12] <kostkon> BCMM, recheck the volume levels maybe. and disable/enable any switches
[14:12] <kostkon> BCMM, try all possible combos
[14:12] <iceroot_> Furtano: watch your language
[14:13] <BCMM> kostkon: yeah, done that
[14:13] <kostkon> BCMM, :S
[14:13] <nerdy_kid> BCMM NVIDA drivers 96.43.10 on a GeForce4 MX 440
[14:13] <jagadeesh> have installed ubuntu studio on karmic. shift key is not working
[14:13] <BCMM> kostkon: i've muted and unmuted everything, while catting >dsp, and no noises
[14:13] <jagadeesh> what am i missing
[14:13] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: i used to own that card :)
[14:13] <scottandmonique> same
[14:14] <kostkon> BCMM, ok
[14:14] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: so resolution was fine till you installed the binary driver?
[14:14] <thatoneguy99> hello?
[14:14] <nerdy_kid> BCMM yes, and this isnt my graphics card (thankfully lol)
[14:14] <scottandmonique> binary does not support the mx cards
[14:14] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: ?
[14:14] <nerdy_kid> BCMM i have a much nicer one :D
[14:14] <dremits> hi there i'm using a fresh installation of latest ubuntu server and webmin. how do I access the webmin using the server's hostname instead of it's ip?
[14:14] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: oh, someone else's machine
[14:14] <thatoneguy99> does anynone else have problems with keeping their wireless on 9.1
[14:15] <Furtano> u1conflict files wtf ?
[14:15] <nerdy_kid> BCMM yeah
[14:15] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: does ubuntu include nvidia-xconfig?
[14:16] <thatoneguy99> can anyone help with 9.1 issues?
[14:16] <husinjalal> dremits define host ip in ... /etc/hosts
[14:16] <iceroot_> !anyone | thatoneguy99
[14:16] <sipior> Furtano: complete sentences, and a bit of context, will probably get you a lot more help than the course you are currently pursuing.
[14:16] <slope> thatoneguy99: maybe, maybe not. but why not ask what you really want to know? :) explain the problem, if you did any changes before they started and anything else you think is of importance and if someone knows they'll help you out. (not me though, I'm off now, good luck!)
[14:16] <nerdy_kid> BCMM yes, ill run it even though i checked xorg.conf out and it looked fine ... hang on a sec
[14:16] <lundh> hi, anyone got experience with sun grid engine here?
[14:16] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: back up xorg.conf first
[14:16] <iceroot_> Furtano: again, watch your language
[14:16] <thatoneguy99> i moved from windows to ubuntu 9.1 and now my wireless keeps dropping out every minute or so
[14:16] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: and are you going to be happy at the console if xorg won't start?
[14:16] <dremits> husinjalal hold on will try
[14:17] <iceroot_> lundh: seems like off-topic
[14:17] <thatoneguy99> it automatically reconnects but drops out again
[14:17] <Keypad> Can some one help me to enable ssh
[14:17] <lundh> iceroot_: seriously? I want to run it un ubuntu, hence asking here
[14:17] <diplomatic> hey im tryin to get write permission in the home directory
[14:17] <diplomatic> dont want to woerk for me
[14:17] <slope> Furtano: read what I wrote to thatoneguy99 if you're hoping to get some help here. Good luck to you too.
[14:17] <BCMM> Keypad: ssh server?
[14:17] <nerdy_kid> BCMM oh yeah, ill be fine :D
[14:17] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: goodgood
[14:18] <BCMM> Keypad: it's generally automatically enabled when you install it
[14:18] <husinjalal> Keypad ..ssh client is already enable .... but for ssh server u need to install it ...
[14:18] <iceroot_> lundh: then ask a detailed question
[14:18] <nerdy_kid> BCMM nope, no change
[14:18] <Keypad> BCMM: I cant connect though, I get refused to connect to port 22
[14:18] <davidboy> How can I tell if my computer is 32-bit or 64-bit?
[14:18] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: is it an LCD?
[14:19] <husinjalal> davidboy ...u can check tru ur bios
[14:19] <dremits> husinjalal thanks very much it worked
[14:19] <Keypad> husinjalal: Ive installed openssh-server I dont understand why its not working, I thought it might be a fireewall rule
[14:19] <BCMM> davidboy: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[14:19] <nerdy_kid> BCMM i am currently using an LCD that supports up to 1280x800, but the owner uses a ancient non LCD screen
[14:19] <lundh> iceroot_: I did, I asked if anyone has experience with it. Its a simple question which has an even easier answer. I want to run it to control a cluster of machines and want opinions on how it works. it it works well on ubuntu and just general advice on the software
[14:20] <iceroot_> !anyone | lundh
[14:20] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: it's possible, that the mx 440 doesn't support the native resolution of your lcd
[14:20] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: do you have an old monitor around?
[14:20] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: after all, it's an old card
[14:20] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: AGP, right?
[14:20] <iceroot_> lundh: has anyone.. is never a detailed/usefull question
[14:21] <nerdy_kid> BCMM yeah but it will take a while to dig the monitor up...the LCD most defantily supports the res of the old monitor that the owner uses
[14:21] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: well, probably not the issue then
[14:21] <dremits> husinjalal i take it back it's not working
[14:21] <nerdy_kid> BCMM the card is working; compiz is working, everything is fine exept the res
[14:22] <davidboy> BCMM: I get a bunch of output from that, but I don't see the type anywhere.
[14:22] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: hmm, i think there is an nvidia-specific line you can add to the device section to make it autodetect resolutions differently
[14:22] <friendishan> sup?
[14:22] <nerdy_kid> BCMM could i manualy force it to take a res via x config?
[14:22] <BCMM> davidboy: what is the "model name"
[14:22] <husinjalal> which one not wrking ...
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> nerdy_kid: you can fix it old school
[14:22] <Keypad> Any one got any ideas why SSH refuses to connect to localhost ? ufw says 22/tcp                     ALLOW       Anywhere
[14:22] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: you can manually set modes
[14:23] <davidboy> BCMM: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual  CPU  T2370  @ 1.73GHz
[14:23] <nerdy_kid> BCMM ActionParsnip i dont care how i fix it lol
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> nerdy_kid: if you run: gksudo nvidia-settings         you can setup the screen someway then click "Write to X config file"
[14:23] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: slighly vague on that cause i haven't had to since probably back when i had teh mx 440
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> nerdy_kid: you can now run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf    and fine tune the res in the file, save the new file and restart X / reboot
[14:23] <diplomatic> How do i make home directory writeable.. this is a brand new server
[14:23] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: ActionParsnip has a point
[14:24] <BCMM> nerdy_kid: about nvidia-settings
[14:24] <scottandmonique> chmod 667 /home
[14:24] <nerdy_kid> BCMM ActionParsnip ok trying the nvidia-settings...
[14:24] <scottandmonique> sudo chmod 667 /home
[14:24] <frdelaet> #phys2009
[14:24] <lundh> iceroot_: if you had no advice at all, why just complain?
[14:24] <diplomatic> i got it
[14:24] <diplomatic> thanks
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> nvidia-settings is great if you have a 4x3 screen as far as I've seen, the list of resolutions always seens limited to me so I do it that way
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> nerdy_kid: i have to use xorg.conf still as my monitor doesnt report refresh rates so I have to add them in manually
[14:25] <BCMM> davidboy: 64-bit
[14:25] <BCMM> davidboy: based on teh Intel Core architechture
[14:25] <dremits> hi there i'm using a fresh installation of latest ubuntu server and webmin. how do I access the webmin using the server's hostname instead of it's ip?
[14:25] <llutz> diplomatic: sudo chmod 755 /home  (667 is stupid)
[14:26] <Furtano> my ubuntu one doesn't synchronize with the UbuntuOne folder. But at ubuntuone.com the files are online oO.
[14:26] <Furtano> and i got u1conflict files
[14:26] <tolecnal> I've just noticed on a couple of newly upgraded servers to 9.10 that there is an automatic logout of SSH clients. While this admittedly is a good security measure, I'd like to either disable it on a per host basis or entierly (the machines are on a none internet routed network). Problem is, I can't find what mechanism controls this, any pointers?
[14:26] <Furtano> but removed them
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> !webmin | dremits
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> dremits: you can add an entry in your hosts file to make the translation quicker
[14:26] <iceroot_> lundh: because noone will help you with a question like that. you get yes or no as an anwser, and then you have to ask a new question, so just ask the real question. you see, its very easy :)
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> dremits: webmin is very not advised
