[17:46] <IrishDavid> i mean the number of pages from the output of pdfinfo file.pdf
[17:46] <ikonia> strangeseraph: not the data - the burn format
[17:47] <vocx> IrishDavid, using awk to get the number of pages of awk? What does that mean?
[17:47] <ikonia> strangeseraph: listen to what's being said rather than coming back with smart responses
[17:47] <ezerhoden_> jessid: that will give you what hardware is using what module. you can use the / key in make menuconfig to search for those modules. just keep at it and you will find your way.
[17:47] <ikonia> strangeseraph: there are burn extensions/formats for windows only
 strangeseraph: you have probably burnt them with windows extensions that are not supported
[17:47] <ikonia> strangeseraph: if you have chosen one of them, it won't work on linux/apple
[17:47] <IrishDavid> sorry vocx I meant to say from pdfinfo using AWK
[17:47] <strangeseraph> I am not a geek, I don't know what you mean by extensions. I know file extensions are .something
[17:47] <jessid> ezerhoden_ thanks a lot!!!!
[17:47] <ikonia> strangeseraph: yes windows extensions, not data
[17:47] <ezerhoden_> jessid: any time
[17:47] <strangeseraph> it was burnt as a DATA CD
[17:47] <Jack_Sparrow> zbyszek, If you are trying to setup a home media system with a remote, please look into mythty or linuxmce
[17:48] <Nubun> HELP WITH UBUNTU REMIX, CANNOT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET
[17:48] <ikonia> Nubun: don't use capital letters please
[17:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Nubun, Lose the caps..
[17:48] <vocx> IrishDavid, actually there is no other way, but to read the manual. If you care about it, you can ask "ghostdog" in ubuntuforums.org in the Programming Talk subforum, the guy is the best using awk, perl, sed, and such.
[17:48] <ikonia> strangeseraph: thats just a data type
[17:48] <strangeseraph> I didn't choose any strange functions or features when I burnt, just dragged my files to the CD-ROM in the program and hit the 'burn' program
[17:48] <Nubun> sorry
[17:48] <recon69> strangeseraph: Suggest a trip to a cybercafe with a couple of blank DVD's, use windows machine to read the CD's and copy them back to DVD using ISO standards
[17:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Nubun, Lose the caps. and come up with a better question with the information people would likely ask you first like hardware
[17:49] <recon69> strangeseraph: yep, that drag and drop most likely cause

[17:50] <diensthunds> if ics has 2 interfaces bridged how do I get my other computers to recognize the internal wifi ssid that isn't being broadcasted
[17:50] <Nubun> Have a system up'n running but cannot connect to the network. Broadcom driver in place B43 Wireless Driver with "Status in Use". However cannot see the networks down the street ???
[17:50] <strangeseraph> if I burn them to DVD then, what options do I need to put in so that it reads in Linux?
[17:50] <ikonia> strangeseraph: just a standard iso complient burn
[17:51] <recon69> strangeseraph: use nero or somthing, dont drag and drop them
[17:51] <strangeseraph> I'm pretty sure thats what I did. 9___9
[17:51] <ikonia> strangeseraph: you can't say that when you can't even remember the application you used
[17:51] <Jack_Sparrow> strangeseraph,     see above
[17:51] <ikonia> strangeseraph: you can't be sure of that by even %1 if you don't know what you burnt it with
[17:51] <strangeseraph> I told you I didn't change any settings in any of the burning programs I used so it would always be at the default. And most programs want you to choose your folder from a drop down list that you want to burn.
[17:52] <ikonia> strangeseraph: stop making assumpitions
[17:52] <ikonia> strangeseraph: if you don't know th program - you can't know what the settings are, and you can't generalise
[17:52] <Nubun> iwconfig    lo no wireless extention  eth0 no wireless extention wmaster0 no wireless extention
[17:52] <recon69> strangeseraph: you might want to do a test run before you copy all you data just to make sure it workd
[17:52] <strangeseraph> not this CD. but other CDs I've burned using infrarecorder. I know that. UBUNTU recommened that program to me.

[17:53] <dustrial> hi all need help with Wlan-AP under Ubuntu, AP is running on my desktop, but i dont know how to use wpa2 ... ?
[17:53] <strangeseraph> miss
[17:53] <strangeseraph> it does so https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[17:53] <Pici> ikonia: actually I beleive that the wiki page does suggest infrarecorder for burning the isop
[17:53] <ezerhoden_> Nubun: your card is not supported or you do not have the kernel module loaded
[17:53] <ikonia> Pici: for burning an ISO
[17:53] <Nubun> how can i check
[17:54] <ikonia> strangeseraph: thats for burning an image - you said you burnt file systems
[17:54] <ezerhoden_> Nubun: do you know what module that card uses ?
[17:54] <strangeseraph> yes, and thats also the program I used to burn the most recent DATA CD which took seventeen tries before Linux finally loaded it. Once. And wouldn't again. And then would. ANd now won't. And other CDs I have behave the same
[17:54] <ikonia> strangeseraph: so this has worked before
[17:54] <ikonia> strangeseraph: do you not feel it was worth mentioning that when we said it may have been an incompatible option ?
[17:54] <Nubun> I know it is supported as https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardy

[17:56] <ezerhoden_> Nubun: you have installed the firmware ?
[17:56] <Nubun> yes the wireless card is turned on
[17:56] <Nubun> lspci suggests this to be the case
[17:58] <vocx> I love freenode notices, they are funny
[17:58] <ikonia> vocx: they are also offtopic
[17:58] <ezerhoden_> Nubun: unload the kernel module then reload and check dmesg to see if it complains about missing firmware

[17:59] <whatspy> Hi, I really enjoy working with WMII, but it's a little too minimalist: I have to log into the usual gnome session manager to be able to use my USB key! It would be very useful to know how to mount (or automount, even better) the USB key when inserted...

[17:59] <jim_p> Slart, :| thanks! never thought of it!
[17:59] <Eliteslave> gotta love netsplits
[17:59] <Nubun> how do i find the module name ?
[18:00] <krusaf> hi all
[18:00] <Eliteslave> howdy
[18:00] <Jack_Sparrow> jim_p, Please also find good notes at stepmania
[18:00] <Slart> recon69: see if you can't find a volume slider for the headphones somewhere in the mixer settings
[18:00] <Slart> recon69: that's the only trick I know of, at least
[18:00] <ezerhoden_> recon69: 1st guess would be to see if they are muted. alsamixer maybe
[18:00] <jim_p> Jack_Sparrow, stepmania?
[18:00] <Jack_Sparrow> jim_p, a cool dance program.. Let me see if I have a link
[18:00] <Nubun> please advice how i go about finding the module name to unload the module for the wireless card ?
[18:01] <Jack_Sparrow> jim_p,  http://www.stepmania.com/
[18:01] <ezerhoden_> Nubun: google
[18:01] <Slart> jim_p: oh.. I think one of those setup apps calibrate it for 8 bit values, the other for 16 bit values.. see if it works with whatever program you want to use it with.. it it doesn't work, try the other one
[18:01] <recon69> ezerhoden: alsamixer just shows master, the soundmanager has many more options
[18:01] <Nubun> what ?
[18:02] <Nubun> no stupid answers please
[18:02] <Pici> ezerhoden_: Thats not helpful.
[18:02] <ezerhoden_> recon69: ok. so, is it muted ?
[18:02] <recon69> Nubun: paste the results to "lshw -C network"

[18:10] <mas2> I have downloaded X sensors but when I run it, it's just an open window with nothing in it. What is wrong?
[18:11] <Jack_Sparrow> d0htem_, Conflicts..  It wont work and you wont know why
[18:11] <pedik> fuck you
[18:11] <d0htem_> Jack_Sparrow: k.
[18:11] <Nubun> Network setting ? this would be a good place to start ?
[18:12] <Nubun> Do I need to provide DNS and Host Information?
[18:12] <strangeseraph> kay, I've calmed down a bit, and pulled out my old laptop (which also has Ubuntu 8.10) and IT reads the CD-ROMS just fine
[18:12] <Jack_Sparrow> d0htem_, When testing set it to a key combo you know does nothing atm.. then tinker with what you want it to be
[18:12] <strangeseraph> so its an issue with the hardware. ^^
[18:12] <mas2> can someone explain to me how sensors work? I want to check my cpu temp.
[18:12] <ikonia> strangeseraph: thats great,
[18:13] <Jack_Sparrow> strangeseraph, Thank you
[18:13] <Nubun> jack_Sparrow can you provide with such information ?
[18:13] <strangeseraph> your welcome Jack_Sparrow
[18:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Nubun, No
[18:13] <strangeseraph> so I posted the issue in the forums, and I shall wait for possible answers there.
[18:14] <Nubun> Can you tell me if your system has DNS host information in place ?
[18:14] <Nubun> jack_sparrow
[18:14] <ikonia> Nubun: doesn't matter what jacks system has, more important what yours does
[18:14] <Nubun> my information is presently empty
[18:14] <Nubun> so cross checking with jack_sparrwow
[18:15] <ikonia> Nubun: it doesn't matter what jack has
[18:15] <Nubun> sorry sparrow
[18:15] <Slart> strangeseraph: does anything show up in the logs when it tries to read the cd/dvd? (tail -f /var/log/syslog) will give you a "live view" of the syslog)
[18:15] <ikonia> Nubun: yours is empty that means you have no name resolution
[18:15] <zsolty_> Hello, I might require some assistance with setting up vsftpd ? I am behind a router, and from outside my network the browsers can't connect to my ftp. Help needed.
[18:15] <Nubun> go on...
[18:15] <ikonia> Nubun: what do you mean go on ?
[18:15] <jacekowski> zsolty_: no way, unless you have access to that router
[18:16] <Nubun> help me
[18:16] <Slart> zsolty_: you'll need to forward ports .. 20 and 21 if I remember correctly
[18:16] <zsolty_> jacekowski: well, I have access to the router
[18:16] <strangeseraph> uh, one second Slart, I'll check that
[18:16] <Nubun> jack_sparrow, believe my problem is that my DNS settings and host name remains empty
[18:16] <Stormx2> Slart: Just 21 I thought.
[18:16] <Taurus4619> hello all! i hope to help me somebody
[18:16] <strangeseraph> what am I looking for Slart?
[18:16] <sniffle> Jack_Sparrow: are you the real jack sparrow?
[18:16] <Nubun> not sure if this needs to be setup ?
[18:16] <Stormx2> No, I'm wrong.
[18:16] <zsolty_> Slart: I have open port 20 in the router
[18:17] <jacekowski> zsolty_: so then you just need to configure DMZ
[18:17] <Taurus4619> how can i change my icons in openbox?
[18:17] <Slart> Stormx2: I think one port is for communication.. the other one for data..
[18:17] <sniffle> fogobogo: supness
[18:17] <fogobogo> heya sniffle
[18:17] <Adam_> is anyone here familiar with virtualbox?
[18:17] <recon69> damn flaky rt61pci driver , crashed again
[18:17] <jacekowski> zsolty_: ftp work on 21 + 20
[18:17] <Pici> Nubun: I suggest you start from the beginning, we're having trouble following your line of questioning.
[18:17] <fogobogo> Taurus4619: what icons?
[18:17] <strangeseraph> I get this same line, but the numbers after the 'kernal' bit are different each time. (Jan 12 13:16:40 ******-laptop kernel: [24770.279203] ForceXPAon: 0
[18:17] <Slart> strangeseraph: something that looks like an error I guess.. error, bla bla failed.. checksum error when reading disc.. things like that
[18:17] <zsolty_> jacekowski: I would like without DMZ
[18:17] <Taurus4619> the icon themes
[18:18] <strangeseraph> oooh, Slart, what about this? /USR/SBIN/CRON[9733]: (root) CMD (   cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)
[18:18] <Taurus4619> in the file manager
[18:18] <fogobogo> Taurus4619: thats the gtk icon theme
[18:18] <Taurus4619> end enywhere
[18:18] <ardchoille> Is Brainstorm login broken?
[18:18] <jacekowski> zsolty_: then forward 20-21 + about 100 some port above 1024
[18:18] <sniffle> Taurus4619: you can change the icon themes by running (as root): icon-theme-switch <name_of_icon_theme>
[18:18] <Slart> strangeseraph: nope.. that's just automatic updates
[18:18] <jacekowski> zsolty_: then forward 20-21 + about 100 ports above 1024
[18:18] <Taurus4619> thx! :)

[18:21] <Slart> strangeseraph: just go to http://paste.ubuntu.com, it's quite self-explanatory
[18:21] <NGL-Jabrroa> yea
[18:21] <NGL-Jabrroa> alright
[18:21] <Slart> strangeseraph: tell us the url

[18:21] <ikonia> wiredmind: #ubuntu is not an irc yellow pages please.
[18:21] <subone> ezerhoden_: i've been trying things and X keeps getting errors and trying to have me troubleshoot it so now its using the default generic xorg.conf

[18:23] <ikonia> wiredmind: we don't support/discuss products based on ubuntu that are not ubuntu
[18:23] <ikonia> wiredmind: just an FYI
[18:23] <subone> ezerhoden_: here are the details of my issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6521451#post6521451
[18:23] <britta_> eitreach no, I am too.
[18:23] <Pici> IrishDavid: find . -iname "*.pdf"
[18:23] <eitreach> Thanks. :)
[18:24] <IndyGunFreak> britta_: read the bot output... there's a pretty easy workaround
[18:24] <jacekowski> zsolty_: passive mode client to connect to server
[18:24] <IrishDavid> thanks Pici
[18:24] <strangeseraph> so Slart, help me understand this error a bit?
[18:24] <Slart> strangeseraph: does any cds/dvds work in this drive?
[18:24] <britta_> IndyGunFreak: thank you :)
[18:24] <NGL-Jabrroa> hatter243 thanks
[18:24] <jacekowski> zsolty_: if there is firewall/nat/something between them
[18:24] <dennda> To whom do I need to talk concerning my ubuntu member status?
[18:24] <alfred_> hi
[18:24] <strangeseraph> my most recent burned backup works. The one I made in Vista
[18:24] <kane77> how do I find most recently created files on my /home ?
[18:24] <ikonia> dennda: the council, and read the ubuntu membership application wiki page
[18:24] <NGL-Jabrroa> vista....
[18:25] <ikonia> dennda: there are local group setup
[18:25] <NGL-Jabrroa> oh god
[18:25] <DJones> Pici: Just for info, the brokenmsn factiod doesn't need a new account creating, just the orginal one changing from MSN to WLM, I've just done that myself, whether its a case of working for everyone is another matter though, so I guess the factoid is probably better as it stands
[18:25] <subone> Where's all the video experts
[18:25] <dennda> ikonia: I am already approved. My status is about to expire. I want to know how to prolong it :-)
[18:25] <Pici> DJones: noted
[18:25] <strangeseraph> NGL-Jabrroa now don't tease, I bought the laptop and I couldn't put XP or 8.04 on it, I had to wait to see if 8.10 would work on it and used Wubi until I could run it.
[18:25] <ikonia> dennda: grab one of the council members
[18:25] <recon69> strangeseraph: can you try burn a CD in ubuntu and see if that works
[18:25] <ikonia> dennda: give them a nudge
[18:25] <fogobogo> hi dennda o/
[18:25] <Slart> strangeseraph: I can't say I understand the error message.. but it's useful for googling
[18:25] <zsolty_> jacekowski: I undestand, I will open also port 21, and 100 ports above 1024, this way the browsers will work?
[18:26] <strangeseraph> Hm. I have some stuff I could burn, yeah
[18:26] <dennda> hi fogobogo (whoever you are :-))
[18:26] <NGL-Jabrroa> strangeseraph ill never go back haha except for xp
[18:26] <jacekowski> zsolty_: you need to configure vsftpd to use only that range of ports
[18:26] <strangeseraph> oh wait, now the data cd from Vista isn't working. Dangit!
[18:26] <Pici> dennda: The membership board for your region should be able to help you: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/RegionalBoards :)
[18:26] <Slart> strangeseraph: besides.. it's a pretty generic error message.. could be anything from a broken drive to a broken/scratched cd.
[18:26] <NGL-Jabrroa> see
[18:26] <NGL-Jabrroa> vista sucks
[18:26] <NGL-Jabrroa> :)
[18:26] <FloodBot2> NGL-Jabrroa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:27] <dennda> Pici: Did the organizational structure change?
[18:27] <jacekowski> zsolty_: pasv_max_port pasv_min_port
[18:27] <ikonia> NGL-Jabrroa: thats fine - we don't need to discuss that, this is for ubuntu support only
[18:27] <strangeseraph> which burning program should I use in Ubuntu?
[18:27] <IrishDavid> Pici: is there a command to run that will escape spaces?
[18:27] <dennda> Pici: Back then there was only one international council
[18:27] <recon69> strangeseraph: just I'm thinkin that drivers can go tits up in two months
[18:27] <Pici> dennda: Yes.  The CC delegated membership stuff to regional boards.
[18:27] <dennda> I see
[18:27] <Pici> IrishDavid: I'm not sure. Check the find manpage
[18:27] <NGL-Jabrroa> K3b
[18:27] <dennda> I know none of them, though :-)
[18:27] <ASULutzy> strangeseraph: There are lots of options, and there is no "best", but I prefer k3b, others like brasero, and of course there's always dd from the command line
[18:27] <NGL-Jabrroa> strangeseraph k3b
[18:28] <Slart> !burn
[18:28] <strangeseraph> ah, my CD-ROM is trapped! D:
[18:28] <recon69> strangeseraph: dont matter, just testing the drive. k3b always worked for me
[18:28] <dennda> err
[18:28] <scuzzo1> any users here into developing games?
[18:28] <NGL-Jabrroa> me
[18:28] <strangeseraph> well, since I have brasero already installed I'll try it.

[18:28] <scuzzo1> NGL-Jabrroa: mind if I PM you, I got a plan involving ubuntu
[18:28] <NGL-Jabrroa> go for it
[18:28] <strangeseraph> the CD will not EJECT. >(
[18:29] <mas2> can someone login with pidgin? I have had error retrving adress book all day! is there any way to solve it?
[18:29] <NGL-Jabrroa> lol
[18:29] <Slart> strangeseraph: does this look like your problem? https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/10811
[18:29] <dennda> was looking at the wrong section of the page. ok, already pinged Sevea_s intuitively :-)
[18:29] <Nomexous> strangeseraph: run 'eject' from a terminal
[18:29] <ASULutzy> subone: Sorry I just joined recently, what problem are you having?
[18:29] <dennda> ikonia, Pici: Thanks.
[18:29] <ikonia> mas2: msn is broke with pidgin currently
[18:29] <Slart> !brokenmsn
[18:29] <recon69> strangeseraph: close any programs using the cd, then right click on the icon and select eject
[18:29] <subone> ASULutzy: trying to enable svideo, here are the details: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6541067#post6541067
[18:29] <mas2> ikonia: :( do you have any information when it's coming up? is there any site i can check
[18:29] <NGL-Jabrroa> scuzzo1 go for it
[18:30] <ikonia> mas2: when pidgin releases an update
[18:30] <strangeseraph> Slart: yeah it does a bit
[18:30] <ChrisbookwoodEee> Anybody know where i have to look in the gtkrc to change the stripes inside the red ring? http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/168187/scrndumb.jpg
[18:30] <mas2> ikonia: oh is it that bad. could take days/weeks
[18:30] <IndyGunFreak> !brokenmsn > mas2
[18:30] <Slart> mas2: last time something like this happened I think it was about a week before the patch got released
[18:30] <ASULutzy> subone: Maybe a long shot, but have you tried sudo apt-get install grandr && grandr
[18:30] <strangeseraph> it didn't eject
[18:30] <strangeseraph> oh wait, there it goes
[18:30] <subone> ASULutzy: no, whats that
[18:30] <ASULutzy> subone: I've had semi-ok luck with grandr, and it's fairly intuitive to use
[18:31] <IndyGunFreak> Slart: i was thinking longer than that actually.. but i'm not 100%, it was a while ago
[18:31] <ASULutzy> subone: It allows you to mess with multiple monitors and change from clone to extended, etc... It's essentially just a graphical frontend for xrandr, which is the command line tool that lets you do the same
[18:31]  * strangeseraph laughs at herself
[18:31] <subone> ASULutzy: will try it
[18:31] <mas2> IndyGunFreak: thanks. I saw there is a 2.5.3 version on their website. I got 2.5.2 it won't solve it?
[18:31] <strangeseraph> I just realized I was running the 'VISTA' CD and I meant to put in the BACKUP CD I MADE in Vista
[18:32] <ASULutzy> mas2: Both 2.5.2 and 2.5.3 share the problem
[18:32] <strangeseraph> okay, this CD is working.
[18:32] <c_korn> is medibuntu also available in kde?
[18:32] <IndyGunFreak> mas2: no, its not a problem w/ Pidgin...
[18:32] <recon69> strangeseraph: still should have loaded , thought you had it inside upside down
[18:32] <biouser> LNX 9,0,152,0 is the latest version of flash we can get?
[18:32] <ASULutzy> mas2: Blame MS, I'm sure Pidgin will fix compatibility asap, but even if they did it within the week, it would still take a little while to get moved to Ubuntu repositories, so best bet is to try that workaround. I've been using it today, and it works, though I occasionally get disconnected while using it
[18:32] <Slart> biouser: unless you want to use the beta
[18:33] <IndyGunFreak> c_korn: medibuntu is a repository of codecs, it will work in gnome, xfce, kde, flux, etc.
[18:33] <strangeseraph> okay, time to test burning a CD in Ubuntu.
[18:33] <ikonia> biouser: your best option is to install the flashplugin-nonfree package and let ubuntu manage your flash plugin
[18:33] <c_korn> IndyGunFreak: thanks
[18:33] <strangeseraph> I have my Blank DVD-R in the drive now.
[18:33] <biouser> http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/ says I need a better version but I use sites all the time that have JWF player and they allow fullscreen
[18:33] <Ximal> anyone here know how I might go about making an offline repository ... I tried bob long's tutorial but I came up with errors
[18:34] <mas2> IndyGunFreak: the message I got from the bot is saying to create an account of type wlm. what is that?
[18:34] <mDemocritus> what's the command for ubottu for info on decrypting dvds
[18:34] <IndyGunFreak> mas2: its part of the work around, did you install msn-pecan?
[18:34] <ChrisbookwoodEee> Anybody know where i have to look in the gtkrc to change the stripes inside the red ring? http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/168187/scrndumb.jpg
[18:34] <Ximal> !css
[18:34] <mas2> IndyGunFreak: yeah I did sudo apt-get install msn-pecan what should I do next?
[18:34] <Ximal> mDemocritus: there u go
[18:34] <fogobogo> mDemocritus: libcss sir
[18:35] <ASULutzy> !brokenmsn | mas2
[18:35] <Ximal> oh hehe
[18:35] <IndyGunFreak> mas2: follow the instructions... restart pidgin, create new account, choose wlm, and plug in your msn info
[18:35] <kane77> how do I find most recently created files on my /home ?
[18:35] <MrElendig> man find
[18:35] <Ximal> whereis filename here
[18:35] <oCean_> kane77: "ls -altr"
[18:35] <mas2> IndyGunFreak: when addading an account I don't see where to change type to WLM. that's the problem.
[18:36] <mas2> IndyGunFreak: where do I do that
[18:36] <biouser> !adobe-flashplugin
[18:36] <ASULutzy> mas2: Did you restart pidgin after installing the package?
[18:36] <Ximal> !repo
[18:36] <biouser> when did this package happen?
[18:36] <kane77> oCean_, thank you.. that's it :)
[18:36] <IndyGunFreak> mas2: restart pidgin, and wlm should be in the protocol drop down
[18:36] <fogobogo> MrElendig: i see you!
[18:36] <ASULutzy> mas2: It's just under accounts -> manage accounts -> add, and then choose wlm
[18:36] <mas2> ASULutzy: I didn't have pidgin open when I run sudo apt... so when I started pidgin after I did that I don't have WLM anywhere
[18:37] <MrElendig> fogobogo: but I'm camuflaged!
[18:37] <fogobogo> MrElendig: doesnt matter. your router will collapse any minute anyway
[18:37] <ASULutzy> mas2: It's there, right after Sametime, right before XMPP
[18:37] <Guest1181> hi
[18:37] <strangeseraph> figuring out what to put on this DVD is annoying
[18:37] <Akiv2> I am running Netbeans and keep having problems where the dialogue windows are just blank. I assume it is due to the jvm, but I don't know how to fix it. I have already switched it to run the official Java runtime
[18:37] <Akiv2> v6
[18:37] <mas2> restarted pidgin again and now it's there! thanks! what is WLM why does it work and are there any backdraws with this solotion?

[18:38] <RoosterJuice> http://www.theonion.com/content/video/apple_introduces_revolutionary

[18:46] <recon69> Guest1181: there is a ubuntu-offtopic channel
[18:46] <biouser> newsflash!!!!!! adobe-flashplugin package install version 10+ and it works :)
[18:46] <Jack_Sparrow> hAtOrY, To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--"
[18:46] <Slart> Tm_T: hmm.. thought I saw someone use the !voip factoid just some time ago
[18:46] <idan> Please help, my system is getting super heated because of a strange process.......
[18:47] <Tm_T> Slart: indeed
[18:47] <MrElendig> idan: kill it?
[18:47] <IndyGunFreak> idan: right click your panel, add "System Monitor", go through the processes, and see what is running at 100% and kill it.
[18:47] <hAtOrY> Jack_Sparrow i will try...
[18:47] <Slart> idan: what is the process called?
[18:47] <IndyGunFreak> otherwise, i'd suggest gong back to windows or risk ruining your laptop
[18:47] <Guest1181> why have you said something about the ubuntu offtopic
[18:47] <idan> Slart, it's /bin/dd bs 1 if /proc/kmsg of /var/run/klogd/kmsg
[18:48] <Guest1181> i've just said a thing
[18:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest1181, Please stop
[18:48] <idan> Slart, I already killed it - but now klogd is going crazy. And I've also restarted sysklog
[18:48] <Guest1181> can somebody help me with that buzz
[18:48] <Slart> idan: hmm.. don't recognize that.. don't know what it is
[18:48] <strangeseraph> bah, okay Slart
[18:48] <Slart> strangeseraph: any luck with the cd?
[18:48] <strangeseraph> help me Slart, the CD burn got all the way to the end, then there was an error while mounting message
[18:48] <Nomexous> Guest1181: where is this buzz coming from?
[18:49] <Southern_Gentlem> Guest1181, the way you worded your question the buzz is because of slackware
[18:49] <Slart> strangeseraph: ok, what is the error?
[18:49] <mas2> In deluge my ratio doesn't get saved (I don't know if it's always or sometime) is this a known problem and is there a fix for it?
[18:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Nomexous, probably his monitor trying to set a res it cant do
[18:49] <strangeseraph> Slart: http://paste.ubuntu.com/104063/
[18:49] <strangeseraph> thats the whole log from Brasero
[18:50] <Jack_Sparrow> !iso
[18:50] <strangeseraph> the error is on the last line
[18:50] <Guest1181> don't know maybe from hard drive. I'm sure it's not coming from the speakers
[18:50] <recon69> strangeseraph: looking more and more like the lazer is going on that drive

[18:51] <engemec> i would like to use blackbox or fluxbox
[18:51] <strangeseraph> man, this laptop is only 3 months old! XO
[18:51] <Nomexous> Guest1181: I know on my computer, the BIOS checks to see if there is a CD to boot from, making a noise
[18:51] <Slart> strangeseraph: from just eyeing through that log it seems like the burning part works alright
[18:51] <ankit> actually my friend have simple os like xp but i have ubuntu so i m not able talk by using messangers skype is not working any other messanger have for talk
[18:51] <strangeseraph> okay, I pushed the CD back in, and now its telling me the CD is blank
[18:51] <engemec> what i need to do? apt-get install ?
[18:51] <Slart> strangeseraph: do you have another computer you can try the cd in?
[18:51] <Jack_Sparrow> ankit, Skype does work
[18:51] <strangeseraph> yes, and it has 8.10 too. One sec.
[18:52] <subone> ok, everything i seem to do just makes X revert to 800x600 :(
[18:52] <Guest1181> no it couldn't be that because it continues and it starts when i run my ubuntu
[18:52] <subone> now i cant even get the svideo working at all
[18:52] <Slart> if it works in that computer I'm going with your thing, recon69
[18:52] <Jack_Sparrow> subone, What video card chipset and what driver did you install
[18:52] <recon69> strangeseraph: good will still be under warranty then. but still might not be the drive, do you have other burnt disks you know used to work?
[18:52] <engemec> heeeeeeeelp
[18:52] <subone> Jack_Sparrow: ati radeon x800
[18:52] <Jack_Sparrow> !helpme > engemec
[18:52] <Slart> engemec: pretending to be 4 years old won't get you help faster
[18:52] <subone> Jack_Sparrow: proprietary driver
[18:53] <engemec> thanks
[18:53] <engemec> sorry
[18:53] <ankit> no skype doesn;t work on my friend;s pc
[18:53] <Slart> engemec: just ask your question.. if you don't get an answer repeat every 5 minutes or so..
[18:53] <Jack_Sparrow> ankit, ah, well you need to find what does work on his machine first
[18:53] <Guest1181> did you read it?
[18:53] <Nomexous> Guest1181: Is it constant or intermittent?
[18:53] <strangeseraph> yes recon69, the backup of the data CD I made in Vista works. So do music CDs. It may just be the burnables that are having trouble.
[18:53] <Slart> engemec: use the time to search the forums and google
[18:53] <Guest1181> constant
[18:54] <strangeseraph> or something. Wait, the backup I made in vista was a DVD like this DVD I just tried to burn
[18:54] <Unoabalto> has anyone been able to use multi finger touchpad functionality (similiar to OS X) in with a synaptics touchpad?
[18:54] <ankit> ya yahoo messanger and google talk  but in ubuntu  yahoo voice chat is not posible
[18:54] <Nomexous> Guest1181: Hard drive, maybe? You figure out which component it's coming from
[18:54] <c_korn> can one play bluray on ubuntu?
[18:54] <Slart> recon69, strangeseraph: does reading cds and dvds use different lasers?
[18:54] <Nomexous> !bluray
[18:54] <engemec> I installed fluxbox with: apt-get install fluxbox, but nothing works.
[18:54] <Guest1181> i don't know exactly
[18:54] <Slart> c_korn: not sure.. I think I read something about kernel support for blueray..
[18:55] <Nomexous> c_korn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD
[18:55] <strangeseraph> no, its all one laser, I'm pretty sure. At least I only see one lense
[18:55] <recon69> a important clue is that factory burnt disks seem to work , normally points to the coloured lazar failing
[18:55] <Guest1181> i haven't opened my computer turned it on and started litsening all components...
[18:55] <engemec> i would like to install fluxbox on the ubuntu server 8.04, but i don't know what i doing.
[18:55] <ankit> on ubuntu yahoo voice chat or google talk is possible
[18:55] <rinaldi_> hi all, I am trying to get my integrated microphone on my hp pavillion dv6000, i have messed around with alsa and pulseaudio but no luck.  pulseaudio is seeing the input device as comig from alsa on front:0 (conexant analog)
[18:55] <Nomexous> Guest1181: Perhaps you should try it. Then we might be able to help you out
[18:55] <recon69> Slart: burnable and factory produced disks use different colors
[18:56] <Jack_Sparrow> ankit, Please hold down the repeats and wait for an answer
[18:56] <strangeseraph> but I have one home burned DVD rom that does work. It was done in vista though.
[18:56] <Slart> recon69: ahh.. didn't know that..
[18:56] <IndyGunFreak> engemec: i think it would just sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[18:56] <Guest1181> but couldn't you have any idea right now?
[18:56] <ankit> ok jack
[18:57] <c_korn> Nomexous: thanks
[18:57] <recon69> strangeseraph: what color is the disk? same as the one that failed to burn?
[18:57] <engemec> IndyGunFreak, i using ubuntu server
[18:57] <Adam_> what tool can I use to create/observe partitions?
[18:57] <strangeseraph> yes
[18:57] <Nomexous> Guest1181: Sorry, without more info, it's a wild goose chase
[18:57] <Nomexous> c_korn: No problem
[18:57] <IndyGunFreak> engemec: that doesn't change anythin
[18:57] <strangeseraph> normal silver color
[18:58] <strangeseraph> and the CD we just burned is not loading in the other Ubuntu laptop.
[18:58] <engemec> install, but this is the message after installed: Couldn't connect to the server.
[18:58] <Reave> I hit ctrl alt backspace and it sent me to the logon screen - what happened to my running session?
[18:58] <BotLobsta> Adam_, gparted
[18:58] <engemec> i'm install xterm now
[18:58] <strangeseraph> well recon69 its silver, but it looks rainbowy when you hold it under light
[18:58] <Adam_> thanks
[18:58] <recon69> strangeseraph: normally at this stage I would switch the drives to test, but not really an option on a lap top
[18:59] <subone> damn, i had it working and now i keep getting this fglrx error
[18:59] <mendax> quit
[18:59] <ankit> yahoo voice chat and google talk is possible on ubuntu any body know abt it
[18:59] <engemec> yes
[18:59] <engemec> Couldn't connect to XServer
[18:59] <strangeseraph> wonder if I can replace the DVD at all, considering that it worked under Vista, the operating system it came with, they could just say that they don't support linux
[18:59] <ali1234> Reave: ctrl-alt-backspace killed it
[18:59] <engemec> this is the message
[18:59] <strangeseraph> I'd have to replace the drive myself. *scary*
[18:59] <strangeseraph> if its possible I mean. >____>
[18:59] <ankit>  yahoo voice chat and google talk is possible on ubuntu any body know abt it
[19:00] <Vimes> Hello^^ One short question, how do I re-set GNOME to factory defaults (I have to :S) ..I know I have to delete something but ..what?
[19:00] <Stormx2> Reave: You lost it.
[19:00] <recon69> strangeseraph: do the problem disks work in your other ubuntu machine?
[19:00] <subone> (EE) fglrx(0): Unknown EDID version 0
[19:00] <Stormx2> and by it i mean THE GAME
[19:00] <subone> (II) fglrx(0):  Display1: No EDID information from DDC.
[19:00] <strangeseraph> okay, Slart recon69 when I put the CD I just burned into the old laptop, it isn't recognized (that laptop doesn't have a burner, but it can read DVDs normally) this laptop has a CD burner and DVD read/writer and the CD is popping up as blank
[19:00] <Lokiase> Hello, how can I mount my NAS (wd mybook) every time my pc starts up?

[19:06] <Lokiase> [20:00] <Lokiase> Hello, how can I mount my NAS (wd mybook) every time my pc starts up?
[19:06] <joshthecoder> anybody know where the setting that use to be in prefs->sound to turn off system speaker went?
[19:06] <Lokiase> sniffle, this
[19:06] <IndyGunFreak> Lokiase: its because this is the channel where we ignore people, the reall support channel is hidden
[19:06] <fogobogo> Lokiase: I'll help you too!
[19:06] <recon69> strangeseraph :seems you might not be alone with this problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=800555
[19:06] <joshthecoder> seems like its gone in 8.10
[19:06] <sniffle> Lokiase: (as root) you need to type: automount-nas --on-startup
[19:06] <Lokiase> tx people, im just angry because i dont find it
[19:06] <strangeseraph> hm, maybe so. o.o
[19:06] <Lokiase> sniffle, not to fast, i'm a noob,
[19:07] <sniffle> Lokiase: ok .. open up gnome-terminal
[19:07] <Lokiase> first of all, how do I mount the NAS anyways
[19:07] <Dream_Team> lol
[19:07] <sniffle> Lokiase: you mount it by running mount-nas --now
[19:07] <Dream_Team> Lokiase: do you know if it's using NFS share or samba share ?
[19:07] <Guest1181> debian is better than ubuntu
[19:07] <Lokiase> I can access it on my other pc via samba
[19:08] <Guest1181> l
[19:08] <Dream_Team> see if nfs is available
[19:08] <Dream_Team> you might prefer it.
[19:08] <Guest1181> why did you ban me?
[19:08] <mDemocritus> so i ripped an encrypted dvd with k3b, having installed the css library, i mounted the .iso file with loopback and tried to play it with kaffeine, it told me it was encrypted and wouldn't play the main movie. the DVD itself plays fine in kaffeine. any ideas or places to start?
[19:08] <Dream_Team> dat is illegal !
[19:08] <Lokiase> it's a wd mybook NAS, thats all I know
[19:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest1181, You have been warned about offtopic and now trying to start flame wars
[19:09] <mDemocritus> Dream_Team: it's a backup
[19:09] <Dream_Team> Lokiase: I relaly think it should come with a manual
[19:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest1181, FYI it was a kick and not a ban
[19:09] <Guest1181> i know it
[19:09] <Dream_Team> mDemocritus: I still think that piracy isn't allowed here, even if it's for legal backup. Try VLC, I doubt kaffeine supports css lib
[19:09] <Lokiase> Dream_team, are you dutch? because you said "dat is"
[19:09] <Guest1181> silly pirate
[19:09] <Dream_Team> Lokiase: I'm not
[19:10] <Lokiase> ok no prob
[19:10] <Lokiase> but
[19:10] <Lokiase> I know the IP of my nas
[19:10] <Lokiase> thats all
[19:10] <Dream_Team> see about samba mounting in fstab.
[19:10] <Dream_Team> good luck !
[19:10] <Lokiase> and I have a terminal
[19:10] <mDemocritus> Dream_Team: ok thanks
[19:10] <Lokiase> goodluck? i wil not it on my own :s
[19:10] <Dream_Team> mDemocritus: and I belive that vlc mounts isos itself
[19:11] <Dream_Team> Lokiase: google with samba + fstab might help you
[19:11] <Dream_Team> or something like "mount samba nas linux"
[19:11] <recon69> strangeseraph: trying to work this out, but seems to be some problem with ubuntu/drive , as to which one is the problem I'm not sure
[19:12] <ParhelicTriangle> Lokiase: mounting on startup is done with /etc/fstab
[19:12] <Lokiase> but how parhelic :s
[19:12] <Lokiase> i m totaly noob
[19:12] <Lokiase> even google is to difficult
[19:12] <ozzloy> sendmail is not sending emails to my coworkers, but it does send to me.  we recently changed mail hosts, but i've always had mine forward to my gmail account.  how do i troubleshoot this?
[19:12] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter > Lokiase
[19:13] <NGL-Jabrroa> !alpha
[19:13] <sniffle> ozzloy: you're hired as the sysadmin?
[19:13] <mossmon> snowcomb: it doesent
[19:13] <mossmon> work
[19:13] <ozzloy> sniffle: i'm roped into it for now
[19:13] <snowcomb> Erm, how did you test it?
[19:13] <Jack_Sparrow> NGL-Jabrroa, If you are looking for the alpha release  /join #ubuntu+1
[19:13] <Lokiase> So can someone please tell me how to use fstab?
[19:13] <ozzloy> i was hired for unrelated stuff
[19:13] <sniffle> ozzloy: where do you work? I'll take your job
[19:14] <oCean_> Lokiase: you know the ip you said?
[19:14] <ozzloy> sniffle: heh.  you can have the sysadmin job if you want.  but it's not my decision
[19:14] <[pq]> Lokiase what do you want to know about fstab?
[19:14] <Lokiase> oCean: yes I do, its 192.168.2.x
[19:15] <burkmat> Say I want to allow a user to access /home/foo/bar/pr0ns but not /home/foo or bar, is this possible?
[19:15] <Lokiase> [pq]: I need someone to take me by my hand and go slowly through the steps
[19:15] <burkmat> Or does the user need readrights from the top of the tree all the way to the branch?
[19:15] <[pq]> Lokiase ok what are you trying to do?
[19:15] <Dream_Team> burkmat: you can always mount -o bind to another directory.
[19:15] <recon69> strangeseraph: the CD you cant load, they dont work on the other older machine as well?
[19:15] <oCean_> what happens with command like "mount -t smbfs //192.168.2.x/ /mnt"
[19:15] <burkmat> Dream_Team, Excellent, I'll investigate that.
[19:15] <burkmat> Dream_Team, Thanks.
[19:15] <ozzloy> sniffle: did you have any input on troubleshooting sendmail?
[19:16] <sniffle> ozzloy: nope
[19:16] <Dream_Team> 192.168.2.x is not a good ip ...
[19:16] <Lokiase> [pq]: I have a nas (mybook world edition) and I want it to automaticly mount when my system starts.
[19:17] <neversaynever>  Hi all, I have a weird experience during ubuntu 8.10 installation. My laptop is sony vaio vgn-cr590.
[19:17] <oCean_> Lokiase: see my previous command "mount -t smbfs //<ip> <mountpoint>"
[19:17] <neversaynever> At a random time, even if i haven't done anything, after a while the mouse and keyboard doesn't work,
[19:17] <neversaynever> in other words my pc was frozen.
[19:17] <strangeseraph> the CD or CDs recon69? The DVD I tried to burn on this computer will not run in the other machine, but the other CDs and DVD I burned in the past work on it.
[19:17] <Lokiase> Dream_Team: x is a number ofcourse
[19:17] <[pq]> Lokiase: you already can mount manually it?
[19:17] <neversaynever> In the beginning, i thought the problem was about my recovery partition,
[19:17] <neversaynever> but now i don't think so. I have a strange problem. So do you have any suggestions
[19:17] <strangeseraph> and one DVD I burned in Vista works on this laptop
[19:17] <daredevilthere> HEY UBUNTU-OERS
[19:17] <Lokiase> [pq]: no i don't know how that works either
[19:17] <Dream_Team> Lokiase: so many people tried to mount with .x that I wanted to clear the problem ;)
[19:17] <oCean_> Lokiase: where <ip> is the ip of the NAS, including the drive and mountpoint is the directory you want it mounted on
[19:18] <Dream_Team> oCean_: don't you need the share name ?
[19:18] <Jack_Sparrow> daredevilthere, Lose the caps.. thanks
[19:18] <Dream_Team> oCean_: like //<ip>/share
[19:18] <oCean_> Dream_Team: Yes.
[19:18] <daredevilthere> Jack_Sparrow: ya sorry
[19:19] <Jack_Sparrow> ty
[19:19] <oCean_> Dream_Team: that's what I meant by "including the drive"
[19:19] <Lokiase> so I type
[19:19] <pkundu> whenever I am trying to connect the web server running at port 81 from internet I am getting http://paste.ubuntu.com/104072/ in the tcpdump
[19:19] <pkundu> but the web page do not open
[19:19] <Lokiase> mount -t smbfs //<IP_ADDRESS>/PUBLIC ... what comes after?
[19:19] <oCean_> Lokiase: /mnt
[19:19] <pkundu> is there any firewal or setting i need to do
[19:19] <Mion> Lokiase: /some/where
[19:19] <oCean_> Lokiase: (just as example for now)
[19:19] <Guest25427> how do i kill the startup sound?
[19:19] <fogobogo> pkundu: no
[19:20] <Lokiase> oCean: what can I use best? /mnt/test ?
[19:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest25427, system..pref..sound
[19:20] <Mion> Lokiase: /some/where must be an existing directory, any existing files in it will be hidden, but not deleted
[19:20] <recon69> strangeseraph: the CD's you burnt in the last week , burnt in ubuntu or windows?
[19:20] <oCean_> Lokiase: anything you like, but remember that directory has to exist
[19:20] <Guest25427> Jack_Sparrow im there i see login but no selection
[19:20] <Dream_Team> oCean_: oh, sorry
[19:20] <oCean_> Lokiase: /mnt probably does, so you might want to "mkdir /mnt/test" if you want to use that
[19:21] <oCean_> Dream_Team: np
[19:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest25427, system..pref..sound        click on login where it says default
[19:22] <Lokiase> oCean: I get: only root can do this
[19:22] <Jack_Sparrow> on the sounds tab of course
[19:22] <oCean_> Lokiase: correct. prefix the command with "sudo"
[19:22] <Guest25427> Jack_Sparrow ok got it thnx
[19:22] <Jack_Sparrow> cook
[19:22] <Jack_Sparrow> cool

[19:23] <pkundu> !apache
[19:23] <oCean_> Lokiase: yay!
[19:23] <oCean_> Lokiase: sure, we can do that too :)
[19:24] <oCean_> Lokiase: use your favorite editor to edit /etc/fstab file and add an entry there
[19:24] <t0lkman52429> why the command: mount -t cifs -o username=mis,password=*** //backup/mis /mnt/bk2

[19:26] <energY> My harddrive, laptop, cd-rom drive, usb-stick, cdr's and my finger is broken.
[19:26] <Lokiase> Ocean: no editor is installed, but i"ve opened the add/remove applications, suggestions?
[19:26] <progex> I am trying to find out how in html-mode under emacs I can set default value of tab - 4 spaces instead of 2 default. Can somebody suggest something?
[19:26] <energY> I should have never decided to install ubuntu!
[19:26] <Jack_Sparrow> V0iD_, vbox etc does it quite well except 3d
[19:27] <sudobash> energY you must be lost?
[19:27] <[pq]> Lokiase: you can use "nano": sudo nano /etc/fstab
[19:27] <Slart> strangeseraph: you're welcome, hope you find out what was wrong
[19:27] <oCean_> Lokiase: isn't there "vi" or "nano" as editor?
[19:27] <oCean_> Lokiase: I'm not familiair with mythbuntu
[19:27] <V0iD_> Jack Sparrow: Im using vmware but when i leave XP on for longer than 3 hours my latop cuts out! >.<
[19:28] <Lokiase> Ocean, nano is open
[19:28] <V0iD_> Any ideas?
[19:28] <Jack_Sparrow> V0iD_, Overheating
[19:28] <V0iD_> Nope!
[19:28] <sudobash> energY what is your problem?
[19:28] <[pq]> Lokiase: you should already have nano installed in your box
[19:28] <Lokiase> [pq]: I have
[19:29] <oCean_> Lokiase: okay, so you have /etc/fstab open in nano?
[19:29] <Lokiase> oCean: yes
[19:29] <NGL-Jabrroa> hello
[19:29] <faltantornillos> Hello there. Do you know of any mail notification applet that makes it possible to delete, mark as spam, etc every incoming mail like checkgmail but with support for multiple email accounts including non- gmail accounts?, pls
[19:29] <x1250> do you guys know any little application take notes (howtos, personal documentation) ? Not tomboy!
[19:29] <recon69> strangeseraph: the reason I asking about the CD's you burned, is if you burned them on the new laptop and they now only work on the old laptop it strongly points to the new DVD burner being faulty
[19:29] <[pq]> Lokiase: so, what's the problem with "sudo nano /etc/fstab"?
[19:29] <Slart> I've got a drive with lots of photos, divided into about 300 folders.. opening this drive in nautilus first makes me wait 25 seconds before the folders show up.. then if I descend into one of the subfolders it takes about 10 secs for that folder to load.. going back up to the root folder of the drive again takes 10 seconds.. is this normal behaviour for an ext3-drive? can I do anything about it?
[19:30] <b4dace> i want to execute a bash script before the X server starts, how is that possible?
[19:30] <Lokiase> [pq]: no problem anymore with that
[19:30] <[pq]> Lokiase: oh ok. add a line in fstab like this: //<IP_ADDRESS>/PUBLIC  /some/where smbfs default 0 0
[19:30] <V0iD_> Jack_Sparrow: The worst thing is when i use xp it does it but when i have ubuntu installed its fine so definitly not over heating!
[19:30] <oCean_> Lokiase: then add a line there like "//ip/drive /mountpoint smbfs username=x 0 0"
[19:30] <[pq]> Lokiase: sorry it's 'defaults' and not 'default'
[19:30] <ScottG489> Anyone here use Amazon's S3 service?
[19:30] <[pq]> Lokiase: //<IP_ADDRESS>/PUBLIC  /some/where smbfs defaults 0 0
[19:31] <Jack_Sparrow> V0iD_, Running xp in a vm is not the same thing as ubuntu or xp alone
[19:31] <oCean_> Lokiase: [pq] is right, "defaults" is okay if you don't have to use credentials for mounting
[19:31] <Jack_Sparrow> b4dace, yes it is possible
[19:32] <Lokiase> I typed that line, and now?
[19:32] <Mion> Lokiase: might want cifs instead of smbfs, unless it's an old windows host
[19:32] <V0iD_> Jack_Sparrow: I know but I thought i'd try to rule out every possibility, but it seems its XP!
[19:32] <Gizmo_The_Great> I am a photographer who currently uses the standard Ubuntu distro, and various image apps like LightZone, The GIMP, CinePaint, DigiKam etc. However, I have just read about Ubuntu Studio (http://ubuntustudio.org/). Are there any advantages to using that over the normal Ubuntu, other than the apps that come shipped with it, because I assume those same apps can be installed anyway, on normal Ubuntu?
[19:32] <oCean_> Lokiase: quit nano, while saving the file
[19:32] <Jack_Sparrow> b4dace, Getting a script to run at boot before login: Put it in you ~/.bashrc. Something like: export PATH=$PATH:~/bin ...
[19:32] <sarmisak> hi all
[19:32] <Lokiase> Ocean: how, dont understand the "commands"
[19:32] <crazyryan> Is there a wine channel?
[19:33] <b4dace> Jack_Sparrow, thanks, i'll give it a try
[19:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Gizmo_The_Great, It is easy to add them  to ubuntu..
[19:33] <[pq]> Lokiase: it's ctrl+x
[19:33] <[pq]> Lokiase ^X means ctrl+x
[19:33] <Lokiase> ok done
[19:33] <Jack_Sparrow> !ubuntustudio
[19:33] <Lokiase> whats the next step?
[19:33] <regeya> #winehq
[19:34] <Gizmo_The_Great> Jack_Sparrow, I figured as much. I was just wondering whether it's kernel was tweaked\adjusted in some way to deal with 'studio like' work, or something bizarre like that. But if it's just a batch of apps, I'll stick with the norm
[19:34] <oCean_> Lokiase: you're sure /etc/fstab entry is correct?
[19:34] <[pq]> Lokiase then try it
[19:34] <jim_p> Gizmo_The_Great, ubuntu studios main difference from normal ubuntu is the realtime kernel. it is a benefit in some cases like sound processing
[19:34] <oCean_> Lokiase: I mean, you saved it correctly? You can do "cat /etc/fstab" just to check
[19:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Gizmo_The_Great, Just added apps
[19:34] <Jack_Sparrow> jim_p, I didnt see much difference using the realtime
[19:35] <Gizmo_The_Great> Jim_p realtime kernel? That's interesting. How does it differ from the normal?
[19:35] <zerograv> anyone have a moment to give a little help about removing programs to a beginner?
[19:35] <Sapient> hi, when I run this command it should sort processes by elapsed time but they are not: ps -eo etime,pid,args --sort=-etime
[19:35] <Lokiase> cat /etc/fstab gives: //<IP_ADDRESS>/PUBLIC /home/myaccount/test smbfs defaults 0 0
[19:35] <oCean_> Lokiase: seems okay. Is /home/myaccount/test existing directory?
[19:35] <jim_p> Jack_Sparrow, i have never used a realtime kernel. however this is critical for sound processing for some reason that the kernel may induce "lag"
[19:36] <Lokiase> Ocean: yes
[19:36] <jim_p> Gizmo_The_Great, it is compiled with the realtime flags enabled. that means it wastes no time writing logs and the like
[19:36] <Lokiase> its mounted their for the moment, with the previous commands
[19:36] <Sapient> is this a bug in ps not sorting elapsed time correctl?
[19:36] <oCean_> Lokiase: okay. Maybe the drive is still mounted, from before.. when you mounted it manually?
[19:36] <[pq]> Lokiase: I hope "cat /etc/fstab"  gives also everything you already had in your fstab before that
[19:36] <Jack_Sparrow> jim_p, I never noticed anything,.. I have RT, 386, generic well most all the kernels installed in Ub
[19:36] <Lokiase> Ocean: thats what I ment :)
[19:36] <ty> wasup
[19:36] <Jack_Sparrow> selectable from grub menu
[19:36] <oCean_> Lokiase: umount it by using "umount /home/myaccount/test"
[19:37] <ty> can i use e2defrag on ext3 filesystem?
[19:37] <jim_p> Gizmo_The_Great, dont force me to remember a real life example with cars and the like :P
[19:37] <NGL-Jabrroa> lol
[19:37] <Gizmo_The_Great> jim_p, :-) lol
[19:37] <Lokiase> oCean: done
[19:37] <ty> ??
[19:37] <Mion> ty: defragging ext3 is called cp to a spare disc, and cp back
[19:38] <oCean_> Lokiase: great. Now type "mount -a" to see if it picks up your samba drive automatically
[19:38] <recon69> zerograv: depends on the program and how you installed it. can can use synaptic to remove programs
[19:38] <ty> i know that, but can i? i was able to with a jumpdrive but i couldnt seem to do it with a live cd
[19:38] <Mion> ty: but ext4 will have online drfragmenting "soon" (about 3 months form now)
[19:38] <Wintervenom> ty:  There is a program called "Shake" to defrag Ext2/3.
[19:38] <ty> where can i get it?
[19:39] <sarmisak> why do you want to defrag anyway?
[19:39] <paul__> Hi all, i need to downgrade perl version 5.10 to v 5.8
[19:39] <Pici> !defrag | ty
[19:39] <ty> cause i have lots of big dvds
[19:39] <ty> i know but the less fragments i have, the better it will run
[19:39] <Lokiase> Ocean: how can I see it, I did mount -a
[19:39] <ty> i know it doesnt get fragments much
[19:40] <sarmisak> ty, that's the windows way, ext3 does not work that way
[19:40] <Wintervenom> ty: It might be in Ubuntu repos - if not, http://vleu.net/shake/
[19:40] <sarmisak> ty, follow the link ubottu wrote on the channel
[19:40] <oCean_> Lokiase: no errors? That's probably okay. Type 'mount' to see if it's really mounted
[19:40] <ty> everything fragments
[19:40] <xjska> anyone kno if ubuntu can use the ps3 vram now? like suse or ydl.
[19:40] <oCean_> Lokiase: or just "cd /home/myaccount/test"
[19:40] <ty> just some fragment less than others
[19:40] <NGL-Jabrroa> mine can
[19:40] <NGL-Jabrroa> my ps3 does
[19:40] <[pq]> ty: defragmenting doesn't make you have faster computer on ext3 and it shortens life of your hardisk
[19:40] <ty> oh
[19:40] <xjska> hows the speed NGL-Jabrroa?
[19:40] <ty> how?
[19:40] <Lokiase> oCean: its mounted
[19:41] <NGL-Jabrroa> very fast
[19:41] <Pici> !who
[19:41] <Mion> ty: wait untill ext4 gets the online defragger and move to ext4 :)
[19:41] <xjska> nice
[19:41] <ty> Mion, ok
[19:41] <strangeseraph> recon69 the new laptops DVD burn didn't work at all. The only DVDs I can read on this laptop that were made on this laptop were made in Vista
[19:41] <oCean_> Lokiase: one other thing [pq] mentioned earlier.. When you showed "cat /etc/fstab" you only showed the smbfs line. The other lines are still in there.... right?
[19:41] <xjska> NGL-Jabrroa: you use the livecd or dvd?
[19:41] <NGL-Jabrroa> i use Ubuntu 8.10 and BT3
[19:41] <NGL-Jabrroa> both
[19:41] <Lokiase> Ocean: they are
[19:41] <NGL-Jabrroa> BT3 islive
[19:41] <[pq]> Lokiase: would be bad if they werent
[19:41] <NGL-Jabrroa> and ubuntu installed
[19:41] <ty> thank you
[19:41] <xjska> when you installed ubuntu you used dvd?
[19:41] <oCean_> Lokiase: ok. You're happy now? :)
[19:42] <crazyryan> Hey, I'm using utorrent on wine. How can I set it as the default program for .torrent files?
[19:42] <NGL-Jabrroa> yes
[19:42] <xjska> ok
[19:42] <xjska> no problems?
[19:42] <ty> l8r guys
[19:42] <NGL-Jabrroa> nope
[19:42] <xjska> ok
[19:42] <strangeseraph> not having a working DVD burner worries me. I need a backup drive and an online backup solution.
[19:42] <Lokiase> Ocean, is that all? so when I want it in another directory, I just edit that file?
[19:42] <chrisdone> hm
[19:42] <NGL-Jabrroa> i have an 40 GB ps3 with a 750 GB HDD and some mods
[19:42] <xjska> ive tried 2 different opensuse dvds and both freeze during install
[19:42] <oCean_> Lokiase: indeed
[19:42] <[pq]> lokiase yes, and try if you can write into your disk as normal user
[19:42] <Lokiase> tx all
[19:42] <xjska> so i wanted to try ubuntu instead
[19:43] <NGL-Jabrroa>  i have an 40 GB ps3 with a 750 GB HDD and some mods
[19:43] <xjska> opensuse has something on their site about the ps3 being weird with their dvd's sometimes
[19:43] <xjska> ahh
[19:43] <xjska> ya i just got the 160
[19:43] <NGL-Jabrroa> works fine
[19:43] <Pici> !ot
[19:43] <NGL-Jabrroa> ok
[19:43] <Lokiase> It took houres googling, tx guys
[19:43] <oCean_> Lokiase: sure, enjoy :)
[19:43] <NGL-Jabrroa> i did hardmod or"hack" my ps3
[19:44] <NGL-Jabrroa> i now have 2 GB of XLR ram
[19:44] <xjska> oic
[19:44] <NGL-Jabrroa> from rambus
[19:44] <Pici> NGL-Jabrroa: This is the Ubuntu support channel, please keep the discussion related to support issues.
[19:44] <xjska> i guess that could explain the speeds
[19:44] <NGL-Jabrroa> it is about ubuntu
[19:44] <xjska> we
[19:44] <NGL-Jabrroa> well
[19:44] <ikonia> NGL-Jabrroa: no it's not
[19:44] <xjska> are talkio ng about ubuntu on the ps3
[19:44] <NGL-Jabrroa> now i did also unlock the Rsx chip
[19:44] <ikonia> NGL-Jabrroa: stop please
[19:44] <NGL-Jabrroa> so ubuntu even registers it
[19:44] <xjska> nice
[19:45] <Pici> NGL-Jabrroa: Do you have a support question?
[19:45] <NGL-Jabrroa> yea
[19:45] <ikonia> gents, check the support information on the ps3 ubuntu website
[19:45] <NGL-Jabrroa> nope im supporting
[19:45] <xjska> Pici: hes answering my questions
[19:45] <xjska> about ubuntu
[19:45] <Sapient> so there is no way to accurrately sort `ps` based on elapsed time or command start time?
[19:45] <NGL-Jabrroa> and yes it works fine i actually run Vm's on it now
[19:45] <c_korn> when will the new design be available? because mark requested user screenshots
[19:45] <ikonia> NGL-Jabrroa: xjska http://psubuntu.com/
[19:46] <ikonia> NGL-Jabrroa: please check the support options in there
[19:46] <xjska> ikonia: yes i see it
[19:46] <koiso> Good evening.
[19:46] <NGL-Jabrroa> i just did thanks
[19:46] <NGL-Jabrroa> :)
[19:46] <NGL-Jabrroa> anyways
[19:46] <ikonia> NGL-Jabrroa: thanks
[19:46] <xjska> run a tight ship here
[19:46] <xjska> you can ask questions about ubuntu, BUT DONT ASK
[19:46] <ikonia> xjska: just not an official ubuntu release, so not supported
[19:47] <NGL-Jabrroa> i found out where to get more xlr  that works with the ps3 and ubuntu
[19:47] <hejdixon> Just a terminology question: why are some directories named foo.d with the ".d" as a suffix?  Also , your new laptop with ubuntu was able to burn CD/DVD previously with out problems?
[19:48] <unr3a1> hey all
[19:48] <koiso> I have a problem with my laptop, i did install the ubuntu version 7.something, when i did the restart my wireless button was on even when the bios were starting, but the wireless is off, i'm trying to format and install windows xp
[19:48] <NGL-Jabrroa> well idk but it works
[19:48] <ikonia> xjska: the PS3 release is not supported here, it's not an official ubuntu release.
[19:48] <NGL-Jabrroa> :)
[19:48] <ikonia> NGL-Jabrroa: don't lie - stop discussing the PS3 now please.
[19:48] <ikonia> xjska: hence why I've pointed you at the correct ite, with support forums etc etc etc
[19:48] <Pici> xjska, NGL-Jabrroa: This is a support channel, not a discussion channel.  If you just want to talk about Ubuntu on the PS3 you are free to join #ubuntu-offtopic. But psubuntu and other derivitives are not supported here, sorry.
[19:48] <xjska> ikonia: then why can i download it from ubuntus site
[19:48] <jinja-sheep> How do I find out which packages installed which packages?  You know.  Dependencies. :o
[19:49] <unr3a1> how can you improve the performance of flash video in firefox?
[19:49] <ikonia> xjska: thats just a cd - they host an image maintained by the community
[19:49] <koiso> i put the windows cd and restart ubuntu but the cd don't start i can't do anything to format the ubuntu without windows xp ?
[19:49] <xjska> lol
[19:49] <xjska> you people are insane
[19:49] <NGL-Jabrroa> no im helping answer his questions aka support :)
[19:49] <xjska> ive never seen something like this
[19:49] <ikonia> NGL-Jabrroa: stop supporting the PS3 here, there are correct support reosources
[19:49] <NGL-Jabrroa> the video shows up as a nvidia rsx something
[19:50] <jinja-sheep> xjska:  Insane?  Love is insane. :|
[19:50] <ikonia> NGL-Jabrroa: I won't ask you again please.
[19:50] <jinja-sheep> !love
[19:50] <ikonia> NGL-Jabrroa: please stop discussing the PS3 platform
[19:50] <xjska> ikonia: why dont you help some people insteal of yelling at people for discussing ubuntu
[19:50] <xjska> instead*
[19:50] <NGL-Jabrroa> im not
[19:50] <Slart> I've got a drive with lots of photos, divided into about 300 folders.. opening this drive in nautilus first makes me wait 25 seconds before the folders show up.. then if I descend into one of the subfolders it takes about 10 secs for that folder to load.. going back up to the root folder of the drive again takes 10 seconds.. is this normal behaviour for an ext3-drive? can I do anything about it?
[19:50] <jinja-sheep> xjska: Don't be surprised. :o
[19:50] <NGL-Jabrroa> im talking about my pc :)
[19:50] <NGL-Jabrroa> with ubuntu
[19:50] <ikonia> NGL-Jabrroa: your not - it stops now
[19:50] <xjska> can we talk about the ps3 and pretend we're talking about the pc?
[19:51] <ikonia> xjska: no
[19:51] <Percy> hey, where should I got for help on installing ubuntu? :D
[19:51] <NGL-Jabrroa> although the installer was a little wirerd at first like it wouldnt start x automatically
[19:51] <xjska> NOT HERRE
[19:51] <ikonia> Percy: your in the right place
[19:51] <Myrtti> Percy: you're there
[19:51] <Percy> haha

[19:51] <xjska> i got yelled at
[19:51] <Percy> thanks xjska
[19:51] <ikonia> xjska: stop now - this will be your only warning, your disrupting the chanel
[19:51] <NGL-Jabrroa>  although the installer was a little wirerd at first like it wouldnt start x automatically
[19:51] <Percy> well I've been trying to load up ubuntu 8.04 or whatever onto an ibook G4
[19:52] <unr3a1> so does anyone know how to improve flash performance?
[19:52] <jinja-sheep> ikonia:  Use !atroll on him.
[19:52] <Percy> no dual boot, just a simple linux computer...
[19:52] <xjska> ok hitler, my bad. thx NGL-Jabrroa for your help NGL-Jabrroa
[19:52] <koiso> How do i format ubuntu without any cd ?
[19:52] <ikonia> Percy: your using the PPC version I assume
[19:52] <Percy> yes I am
[19:52] <NGL-Jabrroa> your welcomme
[19:52] <Percy> hardy heron
[19:52] <Percy> I believe
[19:52] <ikonia> Percy: ok, so what's the issue
[19:52] <c_korn> will this "new design" be in jaunty already?
[19:52] <Percy> not the server addition
[19:52] <NGL-Jabrroa> haha
[19:52] <Percy> edition*
[19:52] <Percy> haha
[19:52] <Pici> !jaunty | c_korn
[19:52] <Percy> it says
[19:52] <FloodBot2> Percy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:53] <NGL-Jabrroa> you guys are stuck up
[19:53] <Percy> cannot allocate....something
[19:53] <Percy> then goes to a blank screen
[19:53] <koiso> HOW DO I FORMAT THE UBUNTU WITHOUT ANY CD ?!?!?!
[19:53] <Pici> Percy: Please ease up on pressing enter so often
[19:53] <ikonia> koiso: calm down please
[19:53] <kraut> koiso: WITHOUT ANY CAPS!
[19:53] <ikonia> koiso: you can't change a disk thats in use
[19:53] <ikonia> koiso: so you need to use a live environment such as a livecd so your disk is not in use
[19:53] <jinja-sheep> c_korn:  What new design?
[19:53] <ikonia> koiso: does that make sense ?
[19:54] <Pici> jinja-sheep: Jaunty discussion is in #ubuntu+1
[19:54] <meistergrado> Contrary to popular belief, caps lock is not cruise control for cool.
[19:54] <Percy> Hold on, I'll see exactly what it says.
[19:54] <c_korn> jinja-sheep: because mark requested some screenshots
[19:54] <jinja-sheep> ikonia:  I got in recently.  What bad deed did NGL pull?
[19:54] <jarco> hello. How can i limit the traffic that is allowed over a network card?
[19:54] <Percy> Okay. it boots, goes through yaboot or whatever... found display... then cannot allocate resource region of the device
[19:54] <koiso> ikonia does nake sense my laptop going crazy because i've installed ubuntu ?
[19:54] <ikonia> jinja-sheep: doesn't matter
[19:54] <BoomShaka> Can anyone help me sort out this xbox live NAT issue? I've followed all the tuts i could find, but it seems i cant get the port forwarding to work correctly :/
[19:54] <Flannel> koiso: You can reinstall without a disk; there's a number of methods outlined on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation  feel free to ask questions if youre having trouble with them
[19:54] <jinja-sheep> c_korn | Mark who?
[19:55] <recon69> Slart: I would say no, I got a folder with over 1000 pictures in it, opens fast , but all the thumbnails that quite a while to draw. this is a ntfs drive though
[19:55] <kantlivelong> hey all.. im trying to get ventrilo working in wine.. i dont see my mic.. it works with native apps. someone mentioned asoundrc but im not sure what to do from there.. anyone help me?
[19:55] <c_korn> Shuttleworth
[19:55] <strangeseraph> sorry recon69, was a bit busy
[19:55] <FrozenFire> Hello, has anyone here ever tested http://www.sierrawireless.com/product/compass_597.aspx this product under Ubuntu? A friend of mine lives out in the booneys, and needs broadband internet. Apparently the only way they can get it is with ones of these cards.
[19:55] <strangeseraph> no, the new laptop was NOT able to write DVDs in Ubuntu before
[19:55] <Slart> recon69: hmm...  thanks
[19:55] <Percy> Anyone have any idea what it could be?
[19:56] <Jeruvy> !hcl | FrozenFire
[19:56] <unr3a1> I guess no
[19:56] <jarco> is it possible in ubuntu to limit the traffic going over a specific network port. Or to limit all the internet traffic at once?
[19:56] <oCean_> Slart: I think you can disable the generating of the thumbnails
[19:57] <meistergrado> Question: the goal is to create a dual-boot environment with ubuntu 8.10 and XP. Ubuntu installation went without a hitch, but upon attempting to install XP, the 30-odd GB I left open for the XP partition is rejected by the XP install, which says "This disk does not contain a windows XP-compatible partition." I had formatted the XP partition with the ubuntu install into Fat32.
[19:57] <Slart> oCean_: mm.. I'll give that a try.. see if it makes it any faster
[19:57] <wolter> join #winehq
[19:57] <Ranakah> meistergrado
[19:57] <Ranakah> first install XP, then ubuntu
[19:57] <c_korn> jinja-sheep: Mark Shuttleworth
[19:57] <BoomShaka> meistergrado:win first, then ubuntu
[19:57] <meistergrado> ranakah: crap. lots of stuff installed on it already, ack!
[19:58] <thiebaude> meistergrado: if you install ubuntu first, then dual-boot won't work
[19:58] <recon69> strangeseraph: but everything else i said was correct , the old laptop can read the old CD's
[19:58] <BoomShaka> Anyone got xbox live NAT issue sorted?
[19:58] <Pici> BoomShaka: Is this an Ubuntu question?
[19:58] <tboydston> So I was able to set up all of my partitions and get a successful dual-boot going, but now I'm not sure how to use the home and root partitions. I can't decide which partition is located where in the Explorer window. Any good reads?
[19:58] <meistergrado> thiebaude: good to know, but bad for me now. Is there anything I can do now besides wipe my entire drive?
[19:58] <recon69> strangeseraph : and old laptop is using ubuntu
[19:58] <Pici> !fixgrub | meistergrado
[19:59] <strangeseraph> yes recon69
[19:59] <thiebaude> meistergrado: i dont know hot to recover the windows mbr
[19:59] <thiebaude> how
[19:59] <NGL-Jabrroa> use two HDD's
[19:59] <thiebaude> lol
[20:00] <Percy> So I try to boot ubuntu and it says "cannot allocate resource region of device 001....." I'm on a powerPC ibook G4
[20:00] <nomaS> hi, whats the command to see process in terminal ?
[20:00] <Pici> nomaS: ps
[20:00] <nomaS> thanks
[20:00] <meistergrado> thiebaude: I don't need to recover the windows mbr, i just need to install XP on the blank 30gb partition I made with the ubuntu install. 's not working though, so I think I just need to reinstall both ubuntu and XP... with XP first now, as I have learned
[20:01] <NGL-Jabrroa> its not mounting correctley
[20:01] <Pici> Percy: Powerpc is no longer a supported version of Ubuntu, please join #ubuntu-powerpc for specific help and see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ for more info.
[20:01] <knut> does anybody know a good feed reader for ubuntu 8.10
[20:01] <jinja-sheep> nomaS:  I like htop. You can check it out. :)
[20:01] <wernher_vonBraun> my download speed from the repositories is terribly slow, how can I change the location from where it is downloading?
[20:01] <thiebaude> meistergrado: yes, just install xp first
[20:02] <wernher_vonBraun> I just found it
[20:02] <Percy> ah, thanks, I'll try there...
[20:02] <Y-Town> vlc does not read mp4 for me.. is there a pluggin or does it just not read them?
[20:02] <nomaS> jinja-sheep, . i prefer ps -x hehe thanks
[20:03] <Jeruvy>  Y-Town: quicktime, flash...
[20:03] <DavidSchles> so I just upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 and am experiencing kernel panics... anyone seen this before?
[20:03] <recon69> strangeseraph: 90% sure it is the DVD drive failing then, The old CD's work because they work in old laptop. The new DVD drive shows it's dodgy by not being able to mount a blank DVD to write to. Last thing I can think of is maybe trying KB3 to write a CD incase it's a software problem with you other burning program. if it still dont work. I'd put windows back on it from your recovery disk, check DVD drive again, if it still fails contact your supplier about a
[20:04] <Y-Town> Jeruvy: thanks I will look for it
[20:04] <B|ackPanther> I want to develop linux applications but i dont know where to start.Are the any sites that can get me started ?
[20:04] <Siiimm0n> How do make checkgmail start with a 1 min delay?
[20:04] <Mion> B|ackPanther: what languages do you know?
[20:05] <BoomShaka> Pici: yes. xbox live thru ubuntu with internet conn sharing (using firestarter)
[20:05] <strangeseraph> recon69 the drive mounts the DVD and writes it, but the process fails at the end. see http://paste.ubuntu.com/104063/
[20:05] <Jeruvy> DavidSchles: see if they have been reported already at launchpad.net.
[20:05] <B|ackPanther> Mion,I know java and C.I want to improve on my C skills so i need something to motivate me.
[20:05] <Mion> Siiimm0n: sleep 60 && checkmail ?
[20:05] <jarco> is it possible in ubuntu to limit the traffic going over a specific network port. Or to limit all the internet traffic at once?
[20:06] <Siiimm0n> mion: thanks
[20:06] <Jeruvy> jarco: your question is too vague, and not specific to ubuntu.  Are you seeking software?
[20:06] <DavidSchles> as I asked this...I had a kernel panic.....
[20:06] <DavidSchles> so I just upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 and am experiencing kernel panics... anyone seen this before
[20:06] <Mion> B|ackPanther: gui/cli?
[20:07] <jarco> Jeruvy, i am looking for a program or a function in ubuntu/linux to limit the traffic going over my eth0 or over all internet connections.
[20:08] <ericvw> i can't find the configuration name to have apt-get always prompt y/n for package installations; does anyone else know where it is or what I need to set?
[20:08] <Jeruvy> jarco: iptables is already installed, there are a couple front ends for it, firestarter being quite popular
[20:08] <B|ackPanther> Mion,CLI application for the start.
[20:08] <Slart> !ext4
[20:08] <tboydston> is the home partition the place in the file browser that comes default with  documents, music, pictures etc. folders?
[20:08] <jarco> ok Jeruvy i will try that
[20:08] <DavidSchles> anyone here know about kernel panics after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10
[20:08] <recon69> strangeseraph: the 10% unsureness comes from maybe you drive is weird and does not work with ubuntu, but would expect many posts about it if that was the case. that error comes as soon as it starts the burn, the other messages are just a test run
[20:08] <wiredmind> !lzop
[20:09] <Mion> B|ackPanther: hmm, maby take a look at ObjC and ncurses?
[20:09] <strangeseraph> well my laptop is a recently new laptop and its not been on the market for long from the look of it. And it was the like, very small distribution of  this laptop, they came out with a different model quickly after I think.
[20:09] <strangeseraph> so I don't think many people would be using it.
[20:10] <Jack_Sparrow> B|ackPanther, Perhaps look at the contribution/participation pages to see what people are working on or need tight now
[20:10] <Jack_Sparrow> !contribute
[20:10] <ameed_> Dear All , i have windows application which uses odbc connection string and i have MySQL database on Ubuntu am trying to make a connection between them but its not seeing the server or the request is not reaching properly , can anyone help ?
[20:10] <DavidSchles> anyone here know about kernel panics after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10?
[20:11] <Jeruvy> DavidSchles: see if they have been reported already at launchpad.net.
[20:11] <Jack_Sparrow> ameed_, #ubuntu-server or #php or #apache2 might get you a faster answer
[20:11] <frostburn> ameed_, you'll want to check out #mysql as well, what's the error you're seeing
[20:11] <Jack_Sparrow> DavidSchles, Are you running an nvidia card with 177 propietary drivers?
[20:11] <DavidSchles> Jack_Sparrow: yes
[20:12] <Jack_Sparrow> roll it back to 173.. that is what worked for me
[20:12] <recon69> strangeseraph: but do try with a couple of different disks and a different program just to be sure. all I can say is that I strongly think the laser on that drive is not well.
[20:12] <DavidSchles> Jack_Sparrow: ok thanks...hopefully that will do it
[20:12] <Jack_Sparrow> DavidSchles, Very lucky guess on my part
[20:12] <ameed_> frostburn: am thinking that there is some firewall on Ubuntu which is blocking the request can you tell me from where can i check the firewall logs
[20:12] <ameed_> ?
[20:12] <DavidSchles> Jack_Sparrow: mm :)
[20:12] <Jack_Sparrow> !iptables
[20:13] <frostburn> ameed_, run an iptables -L  to see if it might be blocking anything
[20:13] <strangeseraph> mebbe :/ that would be frustrating. Its a new computer! But my USB ports work so I may just forget the backing up to CD thing and get a good external
[20:13] <Jack_Sparrow> DavidSchles, I am running a 6600 oc nvidia card
[20:13] <ameed_> frostburn: one sec am checking
[20:13] <sarmisak> can someone add the thing about 'msn-pecan' to ubotu? everyone has been asking about the solution
[20:13] <strangeseraph> the CD reader works with factory CDs right? So I'm fine for running Ubuntu or Vista if I need to
[20:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !brokenmsn
[20:13] <sarmisak> great, thanx :)
[20:13] <ikonia> Jack_Sparrow: it's working again for me - no pidgin changes needed
[20:14] <ameed_> frostburn: it shows no data so this means its not blocking anything ?
[20:14] <frostburn> ameed_, correct, I'm thinking it's a mysql user permissions issue
[20:14] <Jack_Sparrow> ikonia, They probably rolled back their changes.. but I would expect to see the issue pop up again very soon
[20:14] <ikonia> Jack_Sparrow: I was trying to find out what had changed (as you say roll back) a few minutes ago
[20:15] <sarmisak> ameed_, have you added a user like user@%
[20:15] <Jack_Sparrow> ikonia, Somting borked in libpurple from what I can tell
[20:15] <ameed_> frostburn: Thanks alot , i will double check that . do you think i need anything else than unix-odbc to allow odc connection with MYSQL
[20:15] <ameed_> ?
[20:15] <sarmisak> usually when you add a user to mysql it can only connect through localhost
[20:15] <sarmisak> you have to specifically tell mysql that your user can connect from any host
[20:16] <strangeseraph> recon69 the thing that tells me it might be a driver issue and not a laser issue is that the drive DID work under vista, read and write
[20:16] <Dein> sarmisak: it's weird that in older pidgins it works okay. my gf is using 243 and it's working ok for her
[20:16] <frostburn> ameed_, not that I'm aware of, I actually don't use odbc, I just know mysql authentication
[20:16] <ameed_> sarmisak: i added a user called voipswitch and allowed all permisions to it
[20:16] <recon69> strangeseraph: well, factory CD's use different frequency of light that burnable CD's , so you can have drives that will read factory CD's but not home burnt ones. but you tell me, does it work with factory CD's? from earlier you said you vista disk would not load
[20:16] <sarmisak> ameed_, it is not the same thing
[20:16] <sarmisak> ameed_, I'm talking about remote connections not rights
[20:17] <ameed_> frostburn: can you tell me if mysql authintation does same as unix-odbc
[20:17] <ameed_> ?
[20:17] <strangeseraph> the vista disk wouldn't load in Ubuntu, but it can load when/if I try to install Vista (not that I want to anymore). The vista data disk was fine in vista, but under ubuntu I can't read it.
[20:17] <frostburn> ameed_, do a SELECT host FROM mysql.user WHERE user = 'voipswitch';
[20:17] <ameed_> sarmisak: i have tcp/ip enabled
[20:17] <ikonia> ameed_: unix odbc is just a connector
[20:17] <strangeseraph> so the BIOS recognizes the CD/DVD-ROM drive
[20:17] <sarmisak> ameed_, follow this lead; http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-enable-remote-access-to-mysql-database-server.html
[20:17] <strangeseraph> I can boot from a DVD or CD
[20:18] <lorenzo> join #ubuntu-it
[20:18] <strangeseraph> otherwise I wouldn't have been able to install Ubuntu 8.10 since that was a burned DVD! I forgot, that wasn't a factory burn it was a burn I did in vista, and I installed Ubuntu from it
[20:18] <mattfred> Is there a good channel I should go to in order to ask questions about virtualization?
[20:18] <ameed_> ikonia: i know its just a connector am asking if mysql authintaction is better than using odbc to connect to mysql server on linux
[20:18] <ikonia> mattfred: depends on the virtualisation technology
[20:18] <Dein> anybody experiencing problems with pidgin's facebook plugin? it's disconnecting me all evening saying my password is wrong
[20:18] <ikonia> ameed_: odbc will still use mysql authentication
[20:19] <michael357> hello
[20:19] <recon69> strangeseraph: would indicate ubuntu driver/hardware problem if you can boot from a disk that ubuntu wont read. it's a factory vista disk you got?
[20:19] <recon69> can/cant
[20:19] <mattfred> I'm using SunxVM Virtualbox with Windows XP
[20:19] <ikonia> mattfred: there is a sun mailing list for that
[20:19] <beeezn> hi, i'm using intrepid. i just downloaded an rpm from the opensuse official oss package repo, namely gtk2-theme-openSUSE-11.1-1.12.noarch.rpm because i like the theme they use. i tried to unpack it now using file-roller, but i just gives me errors like that: cpio: Malformed number. any help?
[20:19] <recon69> strangeseraph: meant what i said the first time can boot
[20:19] <strangeseraph> yeah
[20:20] <ikonia> beeezn: I suggest you speak to suse guys about their rpm's
[20:20] <mattfred> I don't really have any technical questions about the software, more along the lines of what I can do in linux
[20:20] <ikonia> mattfred: what do you mean you can do ?
[20:20] <ameed_> ikonia , thanks i think sarmisak has solved my problem
[20:20] <ikonia> ameed_: super
[20:20] <mattfred> specifically can I assign it to a workspace and automatically have it capture the mouse/keyboard when I switch there?
[20:20] <beeezn> yeah well i thought maybe somebody knows what to do on ubuntu to extract them
[20:20] <CarlFK1> "Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or higher) is needed"  Is there an ibex package for that?
[20:20] <ikonia> beeezn: cpio should work fine
[20:20] <maco> mattfred: assign *what* to a workspace?
[20:20] <ameed_> sarmisak: Thanks alot this link did answer what i needed
[20:20] <recon69> strangeseraph: do you have a movie DVD , just to try something other that vista disk
[20:21] <ikonia> CarlFK1: flashplugin-nonfree
[20:21] <mattfred> my virtual XP session
[20:21] <Jack_Sparrow> beeezn, Not a good idea to use  rpms  even with alien converting them
[20:21] <CarlFK1> ikonia: thanks.
[20:21] <mattfred> just like have it fullscreen on one workspace
[20:21] <recon69> strangeseraph: but that wont work
[20:21] <beeezn> i don't want to use the rpm
[20:21] <beeezn> i want to extract the theme
[20:21] <beeezn> and install it by hand
[20:21] <ikonia> beeezn: cpio is your friend
[20:21] <ikonia> beeezn: they should just be cpio archives
[20:21] <maco> mattfred: in compiz, i assign certain apps to certain workspaces. it's in the Place Windows plugin. then that app always opens all its windows in that workspace.
[20:21] <Jack_Sparrow> beeezn, convert it and pick it apart
[20:21] <strangeseraph> I'll get one of my DVDs. It should work in VLC.
[20:22] <ameed_> One more question guys , i download Zimbra desktop and i see that the file format is .sh anyone knows how to run that
[20:22] <recon69> strangeseraph: think you need someone who knows the ubuntu DVD drivers and setup, I dont
[20:22] <beeezn> cpio just hangs when trying to extract
[20:22] <Nomexous> mattfred: It works for me. I just fullscreen the VM in that workspace.
[20:22] <beeezn> and alien gives me
[20:22] <mattfred> maco: thanks I'll give that a try
[20:22] <ikonia> beeezn: sure you've got the syntax right ?
[20:22] <beeezn> error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
[20:22] <beeezn> error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
[20:22] <maco> mattfred: i also set my compiz to change window focus when i hover over a window instead of having to click. thatd probably make a more transparent glide into the vm, but it might also take some getting used to that you dont have to click to focus
[20:22] <beeezn> maybe i need to build that database?
[20:22] <Nomexous> mattfred: Then to switch workspaces, I just hit host key and ctrl+alt+left
[20:23] <barduck> hello, what tools/packages do I use to build a software RAID 5 array in Ubuntu ?
[20:23] <maco> beeezn: rmp?
[20:23] <ikonia> beeezn: nah, just need to un-cpio it
[20:23] <michael357> hey I'm using synaptic to install software on ubuntu 8.10 and the search feature seems broken
[20:23] <beeezn> cpio --extract
[20:23] <maco> beeezn: rpm? why are you using rpm on ubuntu?
[20:23] <beeezn> not?
[20:23] <meistergrado> What's the best way to de-virus a windows partition from ubuntu?
[20:23] <Jack_Sparrow> beeezn, Get someone with redhat to pull it apart for you
[20:23] <mizipzor> i got a start script in my home folder, from /etc/init.d/ ive made a symlink to that file, but when calling /etc/init.d/test i get an error about "to many levels of symbolic links"... what is the problem?
[20:23] <beeezn> like i said i just want to use the theme inside
[20:23] <Jack_Sparrow> meistergrado, clamav for a start
[20:23] <beeezn> and i can't find another pak
[20:23] <beeezn> package but that rpm
[20:23] <michael357> ie searching for everything returns no results when the items are clearly there if you scroll through all packages
[20:23] <ikonia> beeezn: it's not just cpio --extract
[20:23] <ikonia> beeezn: check your syntax
[20:23] <beeezn> ups
[20:23] <UA_H>     holaa
[20:23] <beeezn> will od
[20:24] <UA_H>     q pasa..por aca
[20:24] <temppy> meistergrado: I know of a way to use an online virus scanner
[20:24] <Jack_Sparrow> !hi > UA_H
[20:24] <michael357> or if not nothing then a result lacking lots of items
[20:24] <michael357> ie a search for nvidia doesn't show the driver
[20:25] <michael357> although it is there in the alphabatized list
[20:25] <kcin8> anyone here using an APC backup unit? i'm wondering if you can split that rj-45 to USB cable so that multiple systems can use the UPS
[20:25] <scuzzo1> any game developers here or anyone interested in joing a 2D game dev team
[20:26] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot
[20:26] <ikonia> scuzzo1: you asked about that earlier and was told not to ask
[20:26] <UA_H>     alguien estiende lo que digo?
[20:26] <hornet141> hi all
[20:26] <beeezn> rpm2cpio mypackage.rpm | cpio -vid <-- gives me the same errors like file-roller

[20:26] <Hovefirse> Hi folks. I have an iPod that gets associated with /dev/sdc when I plug it in. Unfortunately the file permissions for this device node doesn't allow me to use the command eject on it, unless I use sudo. Is this fixable somehow?
[20:26] <UA_H>     vale..gracias
[20:27] <ikonia> Hovefirse: there is a post on the forums for that I've seen it
[20:27] <Azzmodan> Anyone know a way to make the networkmanager's openvpn plugin auto-reconnect when it loses connection?
[20:27] <Hovefirse> ikonia: OK...which of the Ubuntu forums would that be?
[20:27] <Lokiase> hello guys, i'm back with a little question. i have wifi, but I need to activate it manually all the time, how can it automaticly run on startup?
[20:27] <ikonia> Hovefirse: official, ubuntuforums.org

[20:28] <Mrdudecool> Hi, I got a question if anyone can help?
[20:28] <Seamus> carmoon: oh look, a markov bot.
[20:28] <pentaside> I'm using Intrepid with an ATI Radeon x1200.  FGLRX is works great except for when I'm trying to play any sort of fullscreen game.  Are there any alternatives to FGLRX?
[20:28] <strangeseraph> hm, this DVD is copy protected. Darnit
[20:28] <carmoon> Seamus: It may be xrandr support for F9/10.  will still treat it like a bad code in the emial.  any fixes at this backpu i just wait wait.
[20:28] <ikonia> pentaside: not really
[20:29] <recon69> strangeseraph: install libdvdcss
[20:29] <Mrdudecool> Just a quick question, can I have this on my laptop as well as Windows Vista and switch between the two?
[20:29] <pentaside> ikonia: I thought I had heard something open an Open Source driver...
[20:29] <barduck> hello, what tools/packages do I use to build a software RAID 5 array in Ubuntu ? do I need both mdadm and LVM?
[20:29] <Seamus> carmoon: that was stupid.
[20:29] <carmoon> Seamus: volume works...  hi there.
[20:29] <Scunizi> !dualboot | Mrdudecool
[20:29] <pentaside> Mrdudecool: Yes.. It's called dual bootin.
[20:29] <ikonia> pentaside: they are poor to be honest
[20:29] <ikonia> pentaside: don't have full hardware capability support
[20:29] <mattfred> ikonia: thanks for your help
[20:29] <strangeseraph> at least its reading it though, and its mounted
[20:29] <ikonia> Mrdudecool: no problem
[20:29] <pentaside> IT's worth a try if this one isn't working...
[20:29] <ikonia> pentaside: your welcome to try
[20:29] <Mrdudecool> Pentaside: Do I just install the ubuntu and then choose at boot which I want?
[20:30] <ikonia> Mrdudecool: it's pretty much that simple
[20:30] <Scunizi> Mrdudecool: read the link
[20:30] <pentaside> !dualboot | Mrdudecool
[20:30] <recon69> strangeseraph: yep, you still should be able to open the disk and view the files
[20:30] <Mrdudecool> Thanks for all the help!
[20:30] <Lokiase> [21:27] <Lokiase> hello guys, i'm back with a little question. i have wifi, but I need to activate it manually all the time, how can it automaticly run on startup?
[20:30] <strangeseraph> oops Package libdvdcss is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[20:30] <strangeseraph> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source / Package libdvdcss has no installation candidate
[20:31] <Mrdudecool> pentaside, Scunizi, thanks for the help!
[20:31] <ikonia> strangeseraph: libdvdcss2
[20:31] <Nomexous> isn't libdvdcss only in the medibuntu repo?
[20:31] <ikonia> Nomexous: no, it's libdvdcss2
[20:31] <ikonia> updates updates udpates
[20:32] <recon69> strangeseraph: never mind, just open the disk, dont need to watch the movie
[20:32] <strangeseraph> well, sure, but I DO want to watch the movie. :P
[20:32] <strangeseraph> the disk is open, there are folders and files in it.
[20:32] <Lokiase> [21:27] <Lokiase> hello guys, i'm back with a little question. i have wifi, but I need to activate it manually all the time, how can it automaticly run on startup?

[20:36] <ActionParsnip> Adam_: absolutely, i'd run your backup just incase but yes gparted can resize just fine
[20:36] <NGL-Jabrroa> thanks for offering :)
[20:36] <Mion> Adam_: depends on the filesystem
[20:36] <ikonia> strangeseraph: libdvdcss2 should be available  for your release.

[20:36] <NGL-Jabrroa> ;)
[20:37] <zenwryly> I just upgraded to intrepid and network-manager seems to ignore/miss DHCP success.  IOW, the logs show network manager initiating dhclient, they show dhclient succeeding, but then network manager doesn't notice the success and times out.  Can someone suggest what I might look into?
[20:37] <Adam_> ActionParsnip: I thought so too, but when I have my /dev/sda1 selected, resize/move never lights up
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> Adam_: gksudo gparted
[20:37] <jinja-sheep> How do I find out which packages installed which packages?  You know.  Dependencies.  I find out that I have libggz2 + libggzmod4 -- You probably too.  It's for... GGZ Gaming Zone. <_<
[20:37] <Adam_> ActionParsnip: ahhQ!
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> zenwryly: try renaming /etc/network/interfaces then rebooting
[20:38] <Adam_> what's the difference between sudo gparted and gksudo gparted?
[20:38] <Pici> jinja-sheep: apt-cache rdepends packagename   will tell you what packages depend on those packages.
[20:38] <strangeseraph> well libdvdcss is, in an ubuntu restricted extras package
[20:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !gksudo
[20:38] <zenwryly> ActionParsnip: thanks! will do
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> Adam_: not much at all
[20:38] <Adam_> I see I see, thanks fellas
[20:38] <jinja-sheep> Pici:  Will try. :O
[20:38] <gavi> what program can i use to clone a disk in gnome in ubuntu
[20:38] <strangeseraph> oh wait, no I don't
[20:39] <strangeseraph> gah
[20:39] <Tekno> gavi: dd
[20:39] <gnutron> strangeseraph: see if this file exists on your system: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[20:39] <gavi> Tekno, dont i have to unmount first?
[20:40] <Jack_Sparrow> gavi, cd or a hard drive
[20:40] <loki_> Hey guys, if install a linux flavor thats based off of ubuntu i should still be able to use the same .deb packages right?
[20:40] <shmuck> hi there
[20:40] <jinja-sheep> Pici:  Thanks.  It show the packages but how about the packages that are installed on my machine?  Not general. :)
[20:40] <strangeseraph> it does gnutron
[20:40] <Jack_Sparrow> loki_, Dont count on it
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> loki_: as long as its ubuntu based, and not debian, yes
[20:40] <dreamy> hi friends. requesting for a bit of help here (need to know if its possible to install ubuntu studio. while running a normal ubuntu) i dont have a cd drive on my lap
[20:40] <gnutron> strangeseraph: run sudo  /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[20:41] <gavi> Caprain Jack_Sparrow  i want to mirror my current primary ubuntu hardrive partition
[20:41] <Jack_Sparrow> gavi, I would boot a livecd and use dd..
[20:41] <gnutron> strangeseraph: from a terminal that is. i always forget to mentionthat...
[20:41] <shmuck> if I install a new application, for example SQLDeveloper how do I give my new desktop launcher the icon that comes with the application (I presume there is no separate gif/png icon pic)
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> dreamy: apt-cache search ubuntustudio
[20:41] <loki_> ok, thank you guys.
[20:41] <strangeseraph> I understand what you mean :)
[20:41] <gavi> Jack_Sparrow, thats not an option, cause i need this done automatically and weekly
[20:42] <Jack_Sparrow> gavi, the downside is that it duplicates the uuid
[20:42] <strangeseraph> okay, thats done. Now what?
[20:42] <Jack_Sparrow> !backup
[20:42] <gavi> maybe i should just consintrate on my home directory
[20:42] <Cyis> Anyone using LUKS encrypted USB drives with 8.10? having some interesting behavior here with a drive that I know is good
[20:42] <cpf_> is there a good program to create video-dvd's? tried mandvd but didn't work -> error in the end
[20:42] <Adam_> even from an alt+f2 "gksudo gparted", I am unable to resize my hdd partition
[20:42] <Jack_Sparrow> gavi,  you can tar it up without unmounting it
[20:42] <strangeseraph> ooooh, I think that worked. o.o
[20:42] <strangeseraph> I'm watching the DVD now
[20:42] <gnutron> strangeseraph: try a dvd, i missed the thread that was discussed earlier, i just caught some of it.
[20:43] <dreamy> actionparsnip: realy ? its has simple has running "apt" command?
[20:43] <strangeseraph> albeit very buggy
[20:43] <Nomexous> Adam_: You can't resize a mounted partition.  I have a HP 2570. I chose the proper size in the page settings, but for some reason, EOG locks me to a very small picture size, like 1.2 inches x .91 inches. Can anyone help me out?
[20:43] <jumcore> hello, is it possible in gnome to autohide some tray icons?
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> dreamy: yeah, its all the same stuff dude, no need to install duplicates of everything, thats just silly
[20:44] <dreamy> actionparnsip: okey :)  but thats an upgrade rigth?
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> dreamy: you are just installing software
[20:44] <recon69> gnutron: strangeseraph problem briefly is her new laptop with ubuntu installed cannot read or write burned CD's, these CD work in her old ubuntu laptop
[20:44] <gavi> Jack_Sparrow, id prefer file per file uncompressed
[20:44] <gavi> ill find something.. thanks anyways
[20:45] <strangeseraph> right now I'm trying to be able to watch an encrypted DVD. I can load the DVD and open the folders, but playback is slow, crashy and buggy. I have 2GB of ram so its not my speed
[20:45] <gnutron> recon69: copy that, thanks. i would try brasero, never failed me.
[20:45] <dreamy> actionparsinp: thanks that was great help already
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> dreamy: tab complete names dude, makes it highlight and its easier to type
[20:46] <strangeseraph> gnutron: brasero did fail me. It would write to the very end, say that the write succeeded, then the CD would not mount and the process would fail.
[20:46] <deany> as far as burning sw, its k3b for me.  brasero is very basic
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> !burning | strangeseraph
[20:46] <gnutron> strangeseraph: newer codecs on newer dvd seem to present playback problems, i defer the question to the experts.
[20:46] <recon69> gnutron: I think the drive is flaky , but the drive worked under vista
[20:46] <deany> i also have imgburn thru wine. works like a charm
[20:46] <dreamy> ActionParsnip: okey (using tab now)
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> deany: its kde so you'll need qt libs, depends on your stance on bloat
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> dreamy: better :D
[20:47] <deany> if it can do what i want it to do, ill take it
[20:47] <gnutron> strangeseraph: blast some compressed air in that drive, maybe dirty optics.
[20:47] <shmuck> hi, is it possible to turn off joins/parts in xchat? thanks
[20:47] <recon69> strangeseraph: paste the out put of sudo lshw -C disk
[20:48] <deany> will pidgin get any updates thru the repo`s?
[20:48] <gnutron> shmuck: i tryed ignore joins, parts etc in xchat.... no go for me. try irssi
[20:48] <deany> or do i have to compile my own
[20:48] <vladtsepesh1984> i can't use synaptic configuration for laptop touchpad on ubuntu intrepid....some can help me????
[20:48] <Cyis> I have a USB drive that's a LUKS ext3 filesystem... It worked with any Debian version and worked with Fedora versions 6-10... just re-installed my laptop from Fedora 10 to Ubuntu 8.10 and I'm consistently getting a "bad password" error... I know I'm typing the right password and the drive is good as I had it mounted under Fedora 10 right before unmounting it to reboot with the Ubunutu install CD
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> deany: it'll get updated when its put on there, you could add a 3rd party one if it has the latest, otherwise you'll be compiling your own
[20:48] <recon69> strangeseraph: and Movie playback can be choppy if you dont install the Vedio card drivers
[20:49] <strangeseraph> recon69 video card drivers?
[20:49] <strangeseraph> I've had video issues with this laptop as well that I can't figure out.
[20:49] <Adam_> can I run the gparted live cd .iso straight form the hdd or do I need to burn it first
[20:49] <gmm46> Does anyone know any good online multiplayer games for ubuntu?
[20:49] <filthpig> hi. I'm having some weird hardware problems (not ubuntu-related), can somebody point me to a nice channel for hardware issues? Or can somebody here talk to me either here in-chan or pm?
[20:49] <shmuck> gnutron! got it right click the channel name(the tab), there is Tick "Show Join/Part Messages"
[20:49] <gnutron> strangeseraph: in a term type glxgears, what frame rates do you? indicates video power...
[20:50] <SuwerRat> looking for a good way to burn a dvd movie - i have vob file just need something to put it all together to be able to play on a dvd player - any help?
[20:50] <gnutron> shmuck: thx for the tip :)
[20:50] <strangeseraph> I get a little picture of gears turning
[20:50] <shmuck> gnutron: no problem, this is a live saver in this channel
[20:50] <filthpig> SuwerRat: K3B or Brasero will do that for you, I guess
[20:50] <strangeseraph> lookit em go! :D
[20:50] <gnutron> strangeseraph: keep watching then ctrl+c
[20:50] <deany> mmm...  i`ll have to do it myself then.  how exactly do you uninstall something youve compiled,   if its put files here there and everywhere?
[20:51] <recon69> strangeseraph: nothing to do with your DVD drive , have a look under Admin->Hardware Drivers , see if property drivers are enabled
[20:51] <SuwerRat> thanks - I'll give them a try
[20:51] <strangeseraph> um, they seem to be running even when I switch to another window. o.o
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> SuwerRat: k3b can take those folders in a video dvd burn, burn as slow as the drive can to ensure a good burn
[20:51] <BoomShaka> hmm, i just ran this command, sudo ifconfig wlan0 -promisc    but have no idea what it did, and would like to disable promisc mode, can some1 tell me how to do that?
[20:51] <shmuck> anyone cares to recommend great theme? :)
[20:51] <strangeseraph> recon69, where do I look to find Admin->Hardware Drivers
[20:51] <Mrdudecool> Hi, another question. I am now trying to create a partition (im using Vista) but in the computer management it wont work and I cant seem to make one through the diskpart.exe either. It wont let me make primary after doing create primary
[20:51] <gnutron> strangeseraph: ctrl+c to stop glxgears, it should display FPS
[20:52] <strangeseraph> this is the latest output of the gears. 98111 frames in 5.0 seconds = 19620.564 FPS
[20:52] <filthpig> strangeseraph: "System" in your top left corner
[20:52] <SuwerRat> thanks :)
[20:52] <strangeseraph> 3225 frames in 5.0 seconds = 644.969 FPS
[20:52] <shmuck> what the hell are the gears? i've see in it in compiz but never knew what they do
[20:52] <SuwerRat> i have been using deeveedee to convert avi to vob just needed something to put it all together and watch on dvd player at home
[20:52] <strangeseraph> actually, I moved it down to my bottom panel. I thought recon69 was talking about in terminal.
[20:52] <vladtsepesh1984> someone can help me please???  can't enable synaptic configuration on intrepid.....please please please :D:D:
[20:52] <gnutron> strangeseraph: thats kinda low, check out better video drivers, i get 1500 +
[20:53] <strangeseraph> Hardware drivers has nothing under it
[20:53] <filthpig> shmuck: a simple 3D output to for example measure performance
[20:53] <strangeseraph> no proprietary drivers are on this system
[20:53] <Pici> gnutron, strangeseraph: glxgears is not a benchmark
[20:53] <BoomShaka> hmm, i just ran this command, sudo ifconfig wlan0 -promisc    but have no idea what it did, and would like to disable promisc mode, can some1 tell me how to do that?
[20:53] <shmuck> filthpig: what's the shortcut to enable it ?
[20:53] <gnutron> Pici: i agree but its a tell-tale sign
[20:53] <strangeseraph> gnutron, this is a very very very new laptop
[20:54] <filthpig> shmuck: what do you mean? just type glxgears in your terminal and there you go
[20:54] <ivan0921> shmuck nimbus
[20:54] <Pici> shmuck: If you're talking about the gears option within compiz, then the gears show up inside the cube, which you cannot see unless you make it transparent.  Try #compiz-fusion for more
[20:54] <strangeseraph> my graphics: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD
[20:55] <filthpig> strangeseraph: Intel makes a lot of open source drivers for their gfx cards
[20:55] <shmuck> 5500 fps
[20:55] <strangeseraph> okay
[20:55] <Mrdudecool> Hi, can anyone help me make a partition? It wont work through the computer management and when i try through diskpart.exe i type create primary and it just goes back to partition or volume
[20:55] <krstnsn`> anyone know anything about why my wastebasket wouldnt empty
[20:56] <krstnsn`> it just hangs at "deleting 1 of20" i only have 5 items in there
[20:56] <strangeseraph> this laptop wasn't supported for video until 8.10, 8.04 did not support this laptop. So maybe it just needs somebody (like me) to report problems so Ubuntu can fix it?
[20:56] <litong> My system sounds not working -maximize,minim windows, logout, buttons.....- only when I loggin in. Is wverthing here what I need? other sounds, video, audi, internet videos everithing ok...http://pastebin.com/m27744b59
[20:56] <shmuck> krstnsn`:  pure guess, permissions ?
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> !trash | krstnsn`
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> krstnsn`: try sudo rm each file
[20:57] <filthpig> strangeseraph: submitting bugs to the devs are a very nice way of getting them fixed indeed ;)
[20:57] <piotr__> hello
[20:57] <krstnsn`> thanks ill just try that
[20:57] <krstnsn`> its insane
[20:57] <piotr__> I am first time here
[20:57] <Pici> !hi | piotr__
[20:58] <Numlock4045> i was curious on how do you get diffrent wall papers on each desktop in ubuntu 8.10
[20:58] <strangeseraph> maybe I should set up my computer to automatically report statistics. How do I do that?
[20:58] <piotr__> hi Pici
[20:58] <recon69> strangeseraph: funny, just read a real bitchy thread about that video card and bug reporting
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> strangeseraph: statistics on what?
[20:58] <shmuck> are there nvidia x64 binary drivers for ubuntu?
[20:58] <strangeseraph> errors in my system
[20:59] <Numlock4045> can anyone tell me how to make each desktop have a different wallpaper??
[20:59] <strangeseraph> or do I have to submit bugs manually?
[20:59] <filthpig> strangeseraph: if you go to system - admin - hardware testing, ubuntu will perform a number of tests where you can say if it worked or not, and then it'll be submitted to canonical
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> !bugs | strangeseraph
[20:59] <litong> My system sounds not working -maximize,minim windows, logout, buttons.....- only when I loggin in. Is everthing loaded here what I need? other sounds, video, audi, internet videos everithing ok...http://pastebin.com/m27744b59
[20:59] <LePHiSTO> Numlock4045: that would be interessting, yes, i'm looking for that too, but it's a hassle
[20:59] <strangeseraph> they always work out, and they don't have a test for the DVD player, and the video test is fine
[20:59] <pt|Zool> re
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> !sound | litong
[21:00] <brainsail> why do some packages have checksum mismatches, like /usr/lib/openoffice/program/libsw680lx.so from openoffice.org-writer
[21:00] <evilx> Can anyone think of a reason why usb creator not seeing my pendrive?
[21:00] <evilx> or ubuntu not even seeing the partitions for some odd reason

[21:00] <LePHiSTO> ww
[21:00] <shmuck> argh, can't get used to these non-M$ web fonts
[21:01] <Mion> shmuck: install the ms fonts, and change then

[21:02] <piotr__> I have a question about how to use php and mysql in convenient way
[21:02] <Numlock4045> anyone not busy help me out real quic?
[21:02] <shmuck> the convenient way is to use it together
[21:02] <piotr__> what programvshould i use
[21:02] <Mrdudecool> After downloading ubuntu, do I have to burn it to a disk to then run it?
[21:03] <recon69> strangeseraph: think its already been reported
[21:03] <Numlock4045> Mrdudecool: yes
[21:03] <voodoobettie> do you mean you want help installing a LAMP stack?
[21:03] <Mrdudecool> Ok thanks numlock4045
[21:03] <Numlock4045> no prob mr
[21:03] <kantlivelong> hey all.. i have 2 mics.. how can i either merge borth mics to the same dsnoop or have seperate dsnoops per mic?
[21:03] <dreamy> ActionParsnip: one tiny question:  installing the mesa drivers (3d accelaration for my ati)  , can it be that simple. using the apt
[21:03] <recon69> strangeseraph: starting you might need to report the DVD drive as a bug as well
[21:04] <Numlock4045> mrdudecool: make sure you burn it to a CDr just burn the ISO straight to it then boot it
[21:04] <filthpig> Mrdudecool: OR you can use Unetbooin to make a bootable image on a usb stick, flash card or whatever
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> dreamy: apt-cache search mesa | less
[21:04] <Numlock4045> Mrdudecool: burning a cd is easier.. lol
[21:04] <dreamy> ActionParsnip: okey cool
[21:04] <gnutron> Mrdudecool: burn it as an 'image'  ...a typical 'gotcha' to be aware of.
[21:05] <Numlock4045> lol
[21:05] <Y-Town> I am trying to play mp4 videos on vlc and have no luck.  I am able to browse apple trailers at apple.com and view them thru firefox?  anyone know the reason why I cannot play mp4 on my system thru vlc?
[21:06] <kyon> hello, I aborted a recovery of what it seems was an hibernation (asked for it by accident yesterday evening, seemingly) and i cannot mount my NTFS partitions anymore, though they are working when booting under winXP. What can I do to recover them ?
[21:06] <Numlock4045> Y-town: you need to make sure you have all the extra things for VLC downloaded from addremove
[21:06] <Y-Town> Numlock4045: like what?
[21:06] <piotr__> voodoobettie: yes, do you use Lamp to programming or something else
[21:06] <Numlock4045> y-town: all the codec packs..
[21:07] <neosisani> i'm running intrepid and have sagem fast800 e4. I've installed it on hardy, then upgradead to intrepid and it worked fine for several weeks. Modem used to stop working due to no transfer and configuration on wiki doesn't help. Any idea how to set it up? dmesg says it can't sync.
[21:07] <Numlock4045> Y-town: have you tried playing them in VLC.. did it try to search for the codecs?
[21:07] <Tanubis> Hey all, I'm working with some legacy apps that need to be run using windows server 2000 IIS.  I'm running an ubuntu server to handle OpenVPN, and was thinking maybe I could virtualize the windows 2000 machine on the ubuntu server to free up a machine.  What's the best way to go about doing this, and what sort of resource overhead am I looking at?
[21:08] <gnutron> piotr__: in the repo's you'll find phpmyadmin - MySQL web administration tool
[21:08] <Y-Town> Numlock4045: it just doesnt play... no errors just doesnt play... but I play pretty much everything else just fine
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> Tanubis: you'll be running vmware or virtualbox
[21:08] <Y-Town> Numlock4045: here is the guide I used when doing everything http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683&highlight=howto+multimedia
[21:09] <Numlock4045> Y-town: hmm i havent tried to play MP4's on mine since i put ubuntu on it.. what version of ubuntu you running?
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> Tanubis: the vm will use system ram for itself and hdd space will be used like a virtual hdd, you can use as much or little as you wish for the vm
[21:09] <Y-Town> Numlock4045: 8.10
[21:09] <compubomb> hello.
[21:09] <kyon> hello ? how may I mount my NTFS partitions if they are blocked since a bad wakeup ? (xubuntu 8.10)
