[04:02] <drake2k> Ken1 that's if they have SSH open so you can get in that way instead of ONLY web access.
[04:02] <acerimmer_> ausnomer: check the ubuntu forums
[04:02] <justin22885> does samba work with sharing ext3 partitions?
[04:02] <hiexpo> !graphics
[04:02] <Bigshot> how do i allow SSH connection to Ubuntu?
[04:02] <Flannel> Bigshot: install openssh-server
[04:02] <tristan3199us1> how do i ensure that my window handler compiz will load at boot.. i have to find it in my app list and load it everytime i boot..
[04:03] <Ken1> drake2k: I'm SSHing right now. I did install ebox but I've lost if behind so many windows. I should probably go and focus on it instead of chatting and (poorly) answering questions here.
[04:03] <acerimmer_> Coffee shop is closing and there goes hispeed wifi.  cya l8tr
[04:03] <hiexpo> !video
[04:03] <drake2k> Ken1 well, it is WAY past your bed time.  :)
[04:03] <drake2k> afk
[04:03] <hiexpo> :)
[04:03] <Ken1> drake2k: Depends what you mean by "way past". 4am isn't _that_ bad.
[04:04] <tristan3199us1> Help.. my window manager isnt loading at boot..
[04:04] <hiexpo> red red               wine   :0
[04:04] <tristan3199us1> how do i get compiz to load at boot
[04:05] <Ken1> tristan3199us1: What is loading? Are you using Compiz?
[04:05] <tristan3199us1> yeah
[04:05] <justin22885> samba wont work for me, its really making me angry
[04:05] <tristan3199us1> and kwin..
[04:05] <Ken1> tristan3199us1: Older versions of Compiz had problems for me when I logged in automatically - I had to install the CompizIcon and manually reload the manager before it worked.
[04:05] <justin22885> keeps saying NT_STATUS_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED
[04:05] <hiexpo> tristan3199us, it should auto
[04:05] <tristan3199us1> i have to load up compiz and reload window manager
[04:06] <Gaming4JC> firmware-ralink package isn't in ubuntu? tut tut...
[04:06] <tristan3199us1> i have the newest version
[04:06] <hiexpo> tristan3199us, what distro?
[04:06] <linux_is_my_hero> hiexpo: even silly stuff like dimming the screen after 30 minutes?
[04:06] <lgc> Where does syndaemon get its parameters from? Mine is working with -i 0.5 -k, but these must be default values.
[04:06] <ausnomer> Does ubuntu log gui errors somewhere? I need to know why startx is freezing / rebooting
[04:07] <Ken1> ausomer: dmesg might help? Not sure, though.
[04:07] <hiexpo> linux_is_my_hero, ya  i have ha d that issue i found screensaver did that to me
[04:07] <Hutley> is there any way to show the address of folder like /home/user at nautilus and not the buttons [home] [user]....
[04:08] <linux_is_my_hero> hiexpo: im talking about the userspace driver dropping my clock frequency in the middle of working on stuff.
[04:08] <Ken1> I have no idea, Linux_is_my_hero, short of looking up Google.
[04:09] <hiexpo> linux_is_my_hero, oh ok ya and you are operating on batterary power?
[04:09] <tristan3199us1> thats my problem ken1
[04:09] <tristan3199us1> how do i fix this?
[04:09] <tristan3199us1> getting version.. brb
[04:09] <tristan3199us1> Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[04:09] <tristan3199us1>                 - the Lucid Lynx
[04:09] <FloodBot4> tristan3199us1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:09] <tristan3199us1> i was all good till i upgraded..
[04:09] <tristan3199us1> everything else seems intact...
[04:09] <hiexpo> !flood
[04:10] <Ken1> tristan3199us1: I'll be honest-  I never upgrade because it causes me too much trouble. I back everything up and do a fresh install.
[04:10] <hiexpo> !flood | tristan3199us
[04:10] <linux_is_my_hero> hiexpo: yeah i am but when i go to userspace it should run exactly what i tell it to, like on my mom's dell
[04:10] <tristan3199us1> ken1?
[04:10] <Purpley> Is there a way to use WOL wirelessly?
[04:10] <hiexpo> linux_is_my_hero, hmm
[04:10] <tristan3199us1> how did you fix compiz
[04:10] <Ken1> tristan3199us1: Yes?
[04:11] <Gaming4JC> any idea how to install this kernel module in ubuntu (considering it's missing dependencies and everything): http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5578
[04:11] <hiexpo> tristan3199us, sudo apt-get simple ccsm
[04:11] <Ken1> tristan3199us1: I can't remember to be honest. I think I somehow found or made a bash script that would reload the windows manager automatically for me, instead of me doing it manually.
[04:11] <Colrol> Can I either 1) Monitor the network io for a running process without restarting it or 2) have tcpdump ignore ssh traffic?
[04:11] <ausnomer> I just booted from a 10.04 desktop cd, it gets to a purple background and displays an error window: "Installation failed, The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again."
[04:12] <Ken1> ausnomer: Is the CD okay? .iso burned correctly and there are no scratches?
[04:12] <grendal_prime> ok streaming help?
[04:12] <ausnomer> Ken1: yes.
[04:12] <grendal_prime> i mean it seems like the wizzard is no longer avaialbale in the new vlc
[04:12] <grendal_prime> im totally confussed
[04:12] <Ken1> ausnomer: I'm spent. Can't help any more, sorry.
[04:12] <soreau> ausnomer: At what point does it fail? During partitioning or copying system files?
[04:12] <ausnomer> Ken1: I'm wondering if this is anything to do with my failed net upgrade.
[04:12] <grendal_prime> i just stuck a dvd in this machine. i want to stream it to my netbook.
[04:13] <tristan3199us1> E: invalid operation simple
[04:13] <grendal_prime> they are both on the same network...
[04:13] <ausnomer> soreau: it was just the live cd running.
[04:13] <soreau> ausnomer: so you never made it to the gui installer?
[04:13] <CAPcap> how to i upgrade to lucid?
[04:13] <Ken1> grendal_prime: You're sure the location is fine?
[04:13] <grendal_prime> ?
[04:13] <ausnomer> soreau: no. But it has 10.04 installed on it already.
[04:13] <grendal_prime> the disk plays...
[04:13] <Ken1> CAPcap: I'd recommend doing a fresh install where possible.
[04:14] <soreau> CAPcap: Which version do you have currently?
[04:14] <ausnomer> after the error message it let me get into the gui
[04:14] <Ken1> !upgrade | Capcap
[04:14] <hiexpo> CAPcap, downlod the distro and do a fresh install i recomend
[04:14] <durt> !upgrade | CAPcap
[04:14] <Purpley> Is there a way to use WOL wirelessly on ubuntu?
[04:14] <ausnomer> I'm running on the live disc now I think, wondering how I can now use this to fix my 10.04 upgrade
[04:14] <Ken1> Purpley: WOL does work if your network card supports it - wirelessly or not. It's not always fun getting it working because you'll have to ensure your router will let it happen too.
[04:15] <soreau> ausnomer: You can chroot into the system to try and get a cli for it
[04:15] <Ken1> purpley: Wait, do you mean WOL _to_ a wireless card?
[04:15] <Guest3875> I am trying everything including downloading the restricted formats package, libdvdcss VLC and MPlayer but still some of my (original, not burned, non pirated in original format/DVD) movies still wont play. They mostly include the ones with exe files included within the DVD directory
[04:15] <Guest3875> any ideas?
[04:15] <Purpley> Ken1, My router supports WOL my card is usb
[04:15] <CAPcap> I have Karmic, i cant do a fresh install i dont have a blank disc
[04:15] <ausnomer> soreau: could you please step me through that.
[04:16] <Purpley> Ken1, I mean my router sends a WOL packet to my wireless card and wakes the computer up
[04:16] <Ken1> purpley: I'm honestly not sure. I suspect not because the USB device won't be running until sometime around boot, or after, thus no power will be going to it. I might be wrong, though.
[04:16] <rzx237> CAPcap: I was upgrade from karmic using netinstall, then I never can do select language from login window
[04:16] <soreau> ausnomer: Ok, can you say what device node your disk is? Like /dev/sda1 or sda2
[04:16] <hiexpo> CAPcap, did u have a problem with karmic?
[04:16] <Purpley> Ken1, Is there a way to shut everything down but usb power?
[04:16] <durt> CAPcap, upgrading is fairly straight forward, see the links from me above.
[04:16] <Alloeishus> ...shut all but UBS power? :|
[04:17] <Ken1> purpley: I don't really know enough about Linux/computers to answer that. I'd imagine, theoretically, yes. But probably not
[04:17] <Purpley> Ken1, Dang
[04:17] <soreau> ausnomer: I mean for the partition where you have the broken 10.04 upgrade. Is it sda1 or something else?
[04:17] <ausnomer> soreau: I mounted it from the gui. It's mounted /media/ee279660-d645 etc
[04:17] <Ken1> purpley: It'd be a pretty sweet thing to be able to implement, though.
[04:17] <soreau> ausnomer: ah ok
[04:18] <CAPcap> no problems i just want to upgrade and make sure i dont screw up, the instructions ought to do fine. thanks for the help
[04:18] <ausnomer> soreau: is there a 'repair installation' gui wizard?
[04:18] <Purpley> Ken1, I agree
[04:18] <linux_is_my_hero> what does the "rm" switch do for tty commands? and no im not gunna hold anyone responsible because i dont plan on using it, but i wanna know why everyone is so scared of it
[04:18] <tristan3199us1> how do i set up empathy to check hotmail anyone
[04:18] <Alloeishus> I am trying everything including downloading the restricted formats package, libdvdcss VLC and MPlayer but still some of my (original, not burned, non pirated in original format/DVD) movies still wont play. They mostly include the ones with exe files included within the DVD directory
[04:18] <soreau> ausnomer: Can you say what device name it is though? See the output of 'mount'
[04:18] <rallias> how do i reinstall grub from a live cd?
[04:19] <CAPcap> ha theres an upgrade button. sweet. should be easy. now im sorry i asked. i feel dumb
[04:19] <soreau> ! grub2 | rallias
[04:19] <Ken1> linux_is_my_hero: RM stands for "remove" - used improperly you can delete all sorts of files and folders.
[04:19] <hiexpo> CAPcap, i am not a nice guy /// and i tell it like it is if it's not broke don't fix it /// just because it's new does not make it better
[04:19] <ausnomer> soreau: sdb3
[04:19] <soreau> ausnomer: ok
[04:19] <tristan3199us1> can i check hotmail with empathy
[04:19] <julian_> Hello all, I'm hoping someone could help me hone my ubuntu 10.04 bootup.  I checked my cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log and it seems to be loading a default monitor configuration instead of directly loading my nvida drivers.
[04:19] <ausnomer> /dev/sdb3
[04:19] <linux_is_my_hero> Ken1: so like s*do rm <directory>
[04:20] <CAPcap> hiexpo, i was running mint and im moving back to ubuntu, i figured as long as i was moving back i might as well upgrade too
[04:20] <Ken1> linux_is_my_hero: It's pretty useful too, though. (please do NOT issue the following command) rm -rf / will remove forceably your entire root directory, effectively meaning you'll need to do a full reinstall.
[04:20] <hiexpo> CAPcap,  -  9.10
[04:21] <linux_is_my_hero> Ken1: i dont feel like deleting my root directory, but what's the "-rf" switch for?
[04:21] <CAPcap> hiexpo, im glad you love 9.10. thats terrific for you. im trying the latest version thank you very much
[04:21] <tristan3199us1> you guys play pc games...
[04:21] <yuuri> #campinagrande
[04:21] <linux_is_my_hero> i have a ps3 for games, my computer for work
[04:21] <Ken1> Linux_is_my_hero: the "r" is for recursive, which means delete folders basically. "f" stands for "force"
[04:22] <hiexpo> CAPcap, actually i am a debbian guy but trying to help ubuntu
[04:22] <tristan3199us1> im cant get left4dead2 to finish loading.. i watch the intro and main menu.. then as it loads it freezes
[04:22] <durt> linux_is_my_hero, it means recusive force, and you guys should probably not be talking about this here.
[04:22] <linux_is_my_hero> Ken1: so if a process or kernel is using anything it tells it to f**k off and it deletes it anyway?
[04:22] <Alloeishus> Is this channel restricted form helping with DVD playback?
[04:22] <grendal_prime> god this thing is confussing
[04:22] <soreau> ausnomer: Open a file with 'gedit chroot && chmod +x chroot' and paste the contents into the file then save it and close http://pastebin.org/289303
[04:22] <ausnomer> soreau: so what should I do next? Is there a 'repair installation' available from the live disc or is it more involved than that?
[04:22] <trench> linux_is_my_hero: you have man man or man command then it will say stuff there
[04:22] <Ken1> CapCap: 10.04 is pretty good - very fast and some nice features. There are problems, though but isn't there always?
[04:22] <grendal_prime> anyone know how to just stream a dvd from one machine to another?
[04:22] <durt> !dvd | Alloeishus
[04:22] <pat5star> for new users (well, the ones that start playing with cli) I install trash and tell them to use it instead of rm. Much safer IMHO
[04:22] <hiexpo> !media
[04:23] <linux_is_my_hero> durt: i know not to use it, but i was curious as to why people are afraid of it. i mean if someone else uses it, they're dumb. they can't blame anyone else other than themselves.
[04:23] <ausnomer> soreau: ok one sec, thank you.
[04:23] <hiexpo> !dvd
[04:23] <trench> grendal_prime: i think vlc can do that
[04:23] <CAPcap> ken1 ive yet to use any computer mac pc or any linux distro that wasnt riddled with problems
[04:23] <rallias> oh gosh who's going hyper about the ps3 losing linux support?
[04:23] <Ken1> pat5star: That's good advice, thanks.
[04:23] <soreau> ausnomer: make sure not to get the line numbers (select from the bottom half of the page)
[04:23] <Ken1> capcap: Very much so. That's part of the adventure.
[04:23] <hiexpo> libdvdcss
[04:23] <linux_is_my_hero> CAPcap:if u go to system76 and buy one of their machines, or a dell netbook with ubuntu, you may be pleasantly surprised ;-)
[04:23] <durt> linux_is_my_hero, no, that's cool, just frowned upon in this channel, being full of new users and all.
[04:23] <opnet> hey, I was wondering where the default themes are kept? I want to start making my own so I'm going to start out by editing those
[04:24] <Alloeishus> durt thanks but my issue is within another area... I will keep researching and come back if I cannot come up with something within another 15 or so hours.
[04:24] <hiexpo> add mediabuntu repos
[04:24] <Gaming4JC> !bye | Gaming4JC
[04:24] <opnet> hey, I was wondering where the default themes are kept? I want to start making my own so I'm going to start out by editing those
[04:25] <Ken1> opnet: They're usually in /usr/share/themes/ - I'd recommend copying them over totyour home directory.
[04:25] <Ken1> opnet: Just so you don't change the original ones.
[04:25] <doolph> yeah
[04:25] <linux_is_my_hero> Ken1: when ubuntu's appearance control app loads the little thumbnails of each theme, does it get them from /usr/share/themes?
[04:25] <opnet> that's what I was going to go, thanks
[04:26] <opnet> also, what linux_is_my_hero said
[04:26] <hiexpo> Ken1,  - don't tell newb'sthat lool they'll crash 4 syre
[04:26] <Ken1> linux_is_my_hero: I'm actually not too sure. I think it does take it from one of the configuration files in the folder.
[04:27] <opnet> hiexpo: who says I'm a noob, at least i have decent grammar
[04:27] <dsnyders> What are the apt commands for saving the current list of software so that I can install a new machine with the same software?
[04:27] <Ken1> opnet: Easy now. I'm not sure s/he meant it offensively.
[04:28] <zetheroo> here is a 'fun' one ... this is happening on two machines (Desktops) ... press the power button and after the BIOS screen I get a black screen with a white blinking cursor ... no GRUB menu ... perform a reset (sometimes 3-4 times) and GRUB will appear and everything is peachy ... any ideas?
[04:28] <dsnyders> zetheroo, It could be a hard drive issue.
[04:28] <linux_is_my_hero> i have themes under c:/usr/share/themes that arent showing up under system-->admin-->appearance
[04:29] <fbdystang> Hi all, I have a samba share on my server. How do I map it to /mnt/<server>?
[04:29] <dsnyders> zetheroo, Sorry.  This is happening on both machines?   Are they identical?
[04:29] <Ken1> linux_is_my_hero: I'm not sure why that is. Maybe you need to add them to a .themes folder in your home directory?
[04:30] <zetheroo> dsnyders: they are not identical
[04:30] <zetheroo> dsnyders: yes ... happening on two systems ...
[04:30] <linux_is_my_hero> Ken1: what if i want them availible to all users? im the only one on this computer, but this is somethign ill remember. i have anotehr computer with multiple users.
[04:30] <zetheroo> dsnyders: one of them has a near new HDD
[04:31] <ausnomer> soreau: ok done.
[04:31] <zetheroo> dsnyders: this has been going on for a long time and the hard drives have been checked numerous times but show no signs of problems
[04:32] <opnet> forgot where that was
[04:32] <zetheroo> dsnyders: only startted happening with Karmic and Lucid
[04:32] <soreau> ausnomer: Now run it with 'sudo ./chroot' and it should give you a prompt to your broken system
[04:32] <cryptic0> on my wife's lts 10.04 laptop, the sound disappeared all of a sudden.  the sound setting thing on menu bar is red in color now.
[04:33] <durt> cryptic0, you're muted
[04:33] <cryptic0> I checked with aumix, the sound is not muted
[04:33] <opnet> hey, where were the default theme packs in ubuntu?
[04:33] <Ken1> linux_is_my_hero: Normally themes are packaged and you install them through the "Appearance" window, where they're then copied into the right directory. I think it might just be the home directory, though.  Sometimes themes don't appear if they're not properly made, e.g. some of the description files are missing. I think that  file might be the "gtkrc" file
[04:33] <Ken1> opnet: /usr/share/themes/
[04:33] <DrManhattan> why does linux appear to have issues with a system that uses an sata HD and an ide cdrom
[04:33] <opnet> /usr... somewhere
[04:33] <opnet> yeah, that was it
[04:34] <DrManhattan> I noticed it first on ubuntu, but fedora has the same problem
[04:34] <opnet> thanks again
[04:34] <ausnomer> mount: none already mounted or /media/ee27... mount: according to mtab, none is already mounted on /media/ee27... chroot: cannot change root directory to /mnt//media/ee27...: no such file or directory
[04:34] <Ken1> opnet: Sure thing.
[04:34] <Semitones> is it possible to get the "snap to half screen" thing that windows 7 does?
[04:34] <jbrouhard> DrManhattan, I have no problems with my set up.. SATA HDDs, and IDE DVD-RW
[04:34] <Ken1> semitones: I'm not sure what feature you're talking about but maybe you could check out Compiz?
[04:34] <hiexpo> oops i didn't mean to hurt his feelings   :(   ///// just so everyone knows i have have been withh unis since 1978 and now i got banned from ubuntu forums for helping people with fixinf youtube-dl ///fixing it in which is listed in the repos and got banned for submitting illel downloading content /// so anyonone wanting to talk to me and wanting my help i will be indebian /backtrack/or remote exploit to help u i am a nice guy
[04:34] <Ken1> !compiz | semitones
[04:34] <DrManhattan> jbrouhard, thats very odd.
[04:34] <linux_is_my_hero> Semitones: i wouldnt worry about windows. i would leave it behind. welcome to computers the way they're supposed to be. linux puts the control back in the user's hands, where it belongs.
[04:35] <linux_is_my_hero> semitones: google "window managers"
[04:35] <Klevi> Stupid me has no idea how to get Flash installed on 64bit Ubuntu 10.4 any help?
[04:35] <linux_is_my_hero> semitones: and try the ubuntu forums too
[04:35] <DrManhattan> linux_is_my_hero, not really.
[04:35] <wranger09> i am having trouble with crossover help please
[04:35] <Semitones> Ken1, can compiz do that?
[04:35] <Ken1> !flash | klevi
[04:35] <ausnomer> soreau: sorry didn't put 'soreau' in that last msg. Did you see the error message I got?
[04:35] <cryptic0> anyone want to help me troubleshoot sound?
[04:35] <Ken1> semitones: I'm not sure about the exact feature you're talking about, but Compiz does have extra features and functionality that can be quite nice
[04:36] <Semitones> ok I'll check it out
[04:36] <Ken1> !sound | cryptic0
[04:36] <dsnyders> zetheroo, no clue.  Sorry.
[04:36] <Alloeishus> geez. Im glad I moved away from MS products because of all the issues it has but they are seemingly replaced only with linux issues :| but - im not going back to M$! c ya people.
[04:36] <Semitones> linux_is_my_hero, and thanks, I've been using linux and ubuntu for about 5 years now, it's just that I happen to like how windows 7 does that
[04:36] <uLinux> lo
[04:36] <wranger09> anyone on ubuntu know anything bout crossover help plese
[04:36] <durt> wranger09, try #crossover

[04:36] <zetheroo> dsnyders: yeah no worries ;)
[04:37] <Klevi> Ken1, thanks
[04:37] <Ken1> Kevli: glad to help. Or at least try to :)
[04:37] <Ken1> Okay. Exhaustion is taking over. (It's the only way to sleep in a neck brace).

[04:40] <raj_> how could a lsusb list a camera but not mount it...
[04:40] <Gorlo> We are spending two weeks in Grand Haven this summer.
[04:40] <fbdystang> How do i map a samba windows share from my linux box?
[04:41] <cryptic0> Is there a way to downgrade to 9.04 from 10.04?  I think there are multiple problems with the new version.
[04:41] <ross_> is there a way to find out who access your computer remotely in the past 24 hours or so?
[04:41] <linux_is_my_hero> whats the best way to see windows shares from linux and vice versa?
[04:41] <raj_> dsnyders:  yeqah my gf fell asleep. and im still up trying to work this. i think ill get windows on virtualbox
[04:41] <hiexpo> !downgrade
[04:41] <wranger09> if i'm running wine as well as crossover will the 2 conflict
[04:41] <kbar> raj_, since when was windows on vm a good idea?
[04:41] <DrManhattan> jbrouhard, - what chipset motherboard do you have and how did you get ubuntu to boot and recognize the cdrom AND the HD?
[04:41] <kbar> wranger09, why woudl you need both?
[04:42] <cryptic0> ubottu: I think I made a terrible mistake of trusting new version of ubuntu too soon
[04:42] <ross_> i know that the command "who" will list the user connected, but how can you find out who remotely connected to your com in the past 24 hours?
[04:42] <raj_> kbar:  since my cheap camera i bought from walmart ( i forgot mine back at home- bought a cheap one) doesnt wanna load up on linux
[04:42] <Risen> !upgrade
[04:42] <cfedde> ross_ last
[04:42] <kbar> raj_, do you mean a webcam? or an sd-card from a dedicated camera?
[04:43] <ross_> cfedde: thank you!
[04:43] <cfedde> ross_: happy to help
[04:43] <tristan3199us1> anyone know how to add a program to the boot.. my window manager isnt loading
[04:43] <ross_> cfedde: thanks, i'm still a noob in ubuntu : (
[04:43] <ausnomer> are all user files / documents / music / videos etc stores in the home directory? Is that the only one I need to back up if I am going to try reinstalling ubuntu?
[04:44] <raj_> kbar:  its a 20$ cameria ( digital) i bought from walmart no SD card at all. its basically a webcam / camera i bought it for the weekend i forgot my good camera at home. so the camera lists under lsusb .. but would not mount and show the poictures taken
[04:44] <linux_is_my_hero> ubottu: how many responses do you have? or are you like the hologram of the doctor from irobot?
[04:44] <_uLinux> lol
[04:44] <DrManhattan> jbrouhard, - what chipset motherboard do you have and how did you get ubuntu to boot and recognize the cdrom AND the HD?
[04:44] <Risen> !help
[04:44] <cfedde> ross_: it'll come with time.  hanging out here can help.
[04:44] <dsnyders> ausnomer, all the user files should be in /home.
[04:44] <Risen> ubottu fails.
[04:44] <kbar> raj_, if its a webcam and doesn't have any sort of storage, you shouldn't be able to store any pictures on it?
[04:44] <ausnomer> dsnyders: ok thanks
[04:44] <linux_is_my_hero> _uLinux: are there commands i can issue it, like /msg ubottu makefunofsomeone
[04:44] <Risen> :S
[04:44] <hiexpo> ausnomer, yes if that is where u stored them
[04:45] <tristan3199us1> anybody know how to add my window manager in the startup
[04:45] <durt> !ubottu > linux_is_my_hero
[04:45] <linux_is_my_hero> word
[04:45] <raj_> kbar:  its a webcam / camera. you can store pistures on it. its a digital camera but can also be used as a webcam ( didnt try that) but i have around 40 pictures on it i cant get out
[04:46] <kbar> raj_, see my pm
[04:46] <linux_is_my_hero> lol, ubottu has his own website. thats awesome. :-)
[04:46] <Jordan_U> zetheroo: Are there multiple drives in each computer?
[04:46] <cryptic0> seriously, why did they roll out a new version with such basic problems.  shutdown button either disappears or doesn't work. sound suddenly disappears. mixers don't work.  strange!  I thought Ubuntu was dependable
[04:46] <tristan3199us1> anyone know why my window manager is not loading after the upgrade... i had to download the compiz icon and load it manualy
[04:47] <kbar> tristan3199us, what WM are you using
[04:47] <Guest87871> Hi all.  new to the ubuntu community.  I just got me a 16gb flash drive and want to make a persistant install of 10.04 and keep a portion for windows storage too.  Any I have installed before on another drive but had issues with persistance and partitions.  I have surfed a bit but non really address what I need....I think.  Any links that can help me?
[04:48] <ausnomer> sudo cp -R ~/Desktop/Home /media/Elements   <--- will this copy the folder to my elements hard drive with all files and all sub folders?
[04:48] <durt> !unetbootin Hankinator
[04:48] <kbar> no ausnomer
[04:48] <ausnomer> damn
[04:48] <kbar> its sudo cp -r ~/Home /path
[04:48] <kbar> not ~/Desktop/home
[04:48] <mgross_> I'm trying to boot 2.6.34 vanilla on a 10.04 upgraded from 9.04 system and the boot up keeps hanging somewhere in early init.  Any tips on getting 10.04 to boot a new kernel?
[04:48] <Hankinator> durt...thanks.
[04:48] <Jordan_U> Guest87871: I would do a standard install, unetbootin + persistence has limitations that don't make it practical for a system you want to keep up to date.
[04:48] <hiexpo> upgade = train wreck fresh install -= 98 percent probability
[04:48] <kbar> since your Desktop is in your home dir
[04:48] <dsnyders> What are the apt commands for saving the current list of software so that I can install a new machine with the same software?
[04:49] <ausnomer> kbar: oh ok, sorry was close lol
[04:49] <tristan3199us1> compiz icon - compiz, metacity, kwin....
[04:49] <hiexpo> !compiz
[04:49] <Hankinator> Jordan_u...I have heard that that puts heavy where and tear on the drive....but my work paid for it so not sure
[04:49] <kbar> also ausnomer there are more efficient ways of recursively copying files.  FOr example you can make a bash script that only copies certain types of files.  Right now you are copying ALL files and ALL directories in your home directory. may not be a wise move
[04:49] <tristan3199us1> is there a better option than compiz
[04:50] <kbar> ausnomer, try GNOME?
[04:50] <tristan3199us1> kbar. i should try GNOME?
[04:50] <ausnomer> kbar: yep, I want to back up the whole home directory
[04:50] <kbar> ausnomer, there are configuration files in your home directory that you might not want
[04:51] <kbar> tristan3199us, if you are new to linux, you should start with GNOME
[04:51] <ausnomer> kbar: I think it's just easier, I can extract what I need from the back up after I reinstall
[04:51] <hiexpo> tristan3199us,  are u using gnome ? and or ccsm ?
[04:51] <sutanto> join #kpli-bogor
[04:51] <kbar> ausnomer, you should do cp -R /Home/directory for each of your directories that you want
[04:51] <Jordan_U> Hankinator: It's actually less wear than a persistent system, since then you are writing entire files when only changing part of a file among other things. Without persistence there is almost no wear because there are no writes and reads are cheap with flash.
[04:52] <kbar> ausnomer, for example, just the videos, just the pictures, etc. this way you can avoid copying the config files
[04:52] <ausnomer> kbar ok thanks
[04:52] <projektidiot> hello
[04:52] <tristan3199us1> hiexpo... gnome
[04:53] <Jordan_U> Hankinator: If you are worried about wear you can use a non journaled filesystem (ext2, or ext4 without journaling). But with a high quality ssd I don't think you even need to worry about that.
[04:53] <kbar> raj_, try http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-988577.html
[04:53] <dsnyders> kbar, wouldn't the config files be in the folders prefixed by a period?
[04:53] <projektidiot> I am looking to install Ubuntu on my netbook, but I'm having a very fundamentla issue
[04:53] <kbar> true, dsnyders I forgot about that... hehehe
[04:54] <projektidiot> I'm trying to do it from a flash drive, but my computer doesn't allow me the choice of booting from a thumb stick.
[04:54] <Hankinator> Jordan:  Not worried about wear and tear but I just want to make sure I can install new programs and updates and have them stay.
[04:54] <kbar> projektidiot, have you tried checking in your bios
[04:54] <projektidiot> mhm, I've rearranged the priorities which didn't help
[04:54] <Mr_tr1pl3x> hello guys i'm a newbie here
[04:54] <kbar> Hankinator, if you aren't using the Live session you should have the files and programs stay
[04:54] <projektidiot> and when I pull up the boot menu via F12 I only get my hard drive and my ethernet port as an option
[04:54] <Mr_tr1pl3x> can anyone help me how to configure my ubuntu login?
[04:54] <dsnyders> kbar, so all ausnomer would have to do is not back up (or not restore) the .* folders
[04:54] <Mr_tr1pl3x> help anyone?
[04:55] <Mr_tr1pl3x> can anyone help me how to configure my ubuntu login themes?
[04:55] <kbar> I guess so dsnyders
[04:55] <hiexpo> tristan3199us,  i love gnome
[04:55] <DrManhattan> jbrouhard, - what chipset motherboard do you have and how did you get ubuntu to boot and recognize the cdrom AND the HD?
[04:55] <Jordan_U> Hankinator: Then you want a standard install, just make sure that you click the "advanced" button on the last screen and choose to install grub to the flash drive, otherwise it will install grub to your internal hard drive.
[04:55] <linux_is_my_hero> goodnight everyone
[04:56] <connect> moring here,
[04:56] <connect> morning here
[04:56] <Hankinator> Jordan:  Thanks...so do the install using ubuntu os or windows?
[04:57] <ausnomer> ok so the important folders in my home directory are being backed up to my hard drive, then I can reinstall 10.04. Should I click "Install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" on the desktop of the Live CD if I want to reinstall fresh?
[04:58] <phlak_user> hi
[04:58] <linux> hi
[04:59] <linux> hallow
[04:59] <kbar> does anybody know why in awesome there are spaces left when I tile terminal windows?
[04:59] <orikon> hello
[04:59] <ausnomer> kbar: after my files back up to external hdd, should I click "Install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" on the desktop of the Live CD if I want to reinstall fresh with no legacy from the previous installation? Or should I format the partition first?
[04:59] <Nitro> Anyone know how to install Teamspeak 3 on Ubuntu?
[04:59] <kbar> you should format, ausnomer
[05:00] <orikon> is there any way i can see all the commands being executed on my system? for example when i click "start network" i can see the command /etc/init.d/start-network displayed?
[05:00] <phlak_user> ausnomer: the formatting will happen during installation
[05:00] <ausnomer> phlak_user: oh ok
[05:00] <faisal> hello everyone
[05:00] <faisal> how you guys doinÉ
[05:00] <kbar> orikon, you can try using terminal
[05:00] <dsnyders> kbar, probably because terminal windows are multiples of character widths, and not continuously expandable.
[05:00] <faisal> I need help .. can someone help me plz
[05:00] <durt> faisal, very good, question?
[05:01] <phlak_user> phlak_user: in fact, there is a very comprehensive wizard that lets you choose whether to get it done automatically,  or you can also manually partition etc etc
[05:01] <faisal> i have acertime line 5810tz laptop wireless is not working
[05:01] <phlak_user> !ask | faisal
[05:01] <durt> faisal, what card?
[05:01] <linux> ausnomer, it will automatically formate ur hdd
[05:01] <ausnomer> Who chose to make 10.04 so ummm purple?
[05:01] <faisal> i dont know durt
[05:01] <orikon> but it doesn't display what commands are being run from the GUI
[05:01] <ausnomer> linux: ok ty
[05:02] <faisal> like how do i configure it or install it .. i am new to linux
[05:02] <Purpley> Can you play 1080i on a CRT monitor?
[05:02] <kbar> gah dsnyders I guess I'll comb through rc.lua to see if I can bind mod4 to open a terminal emulator that does continuously expand
[05:02] <jbrouhard> DrManhattan, I did nothing to get Ubuntu to recognize the CDROM/HDD.. I'
[05:02] <DrManhattan> wtf
[05:02] <faisal> its a acer timeline laptop 5810tz
[05:02] <orikon> like if i change a setting from the GUI, i'd like to see the actual commands that are going on in the background
[05:02] <kbar> orikon, that's why you dont use gui
[05:02] <linux> faisal, what u wanna install
[05:03] <Jordan_U> Hankinator: Boot from the Ubuntu install CD.
[05:03] <faisal> wireless
[05:03] <orikon> yeah, i just figured something like that would be a good learning tool
[05:03] <phlak_user> faisal: can you do a lspci and see what card it has?
[05:03] <DrManhattan> mine gives me "i/o error can't read from cd" errors and its the cd I got FROM ubuntu
[05:03] <Hankinator> Jordan:  Thanks much....
[05:03] <kbar> orikon, hardly. try using terminal to do everything. that will be a good learning tool
[05:03] <faisal> i would like to configure or install wireless so it works .. right now i am running the wireless stick
[05:03] <kbar> faisal, what do you mena
[05:03] <faisal> i also have built in wireless
[05:03] <kbar> faisal, have you tried looking up what drivers you would need?
[05:04] <orikon> haha k thanks
[05:04] <projektidiot> Anyone have any other ideas to look into besides my BIOS as far as booting from a thumb drive?
[05:04] <faisal> built in wireless is not being detected or run by ubuntu
[05:04] <kbar> projektidiot, do you have windows?
[05:04] <phlak_user> faisal: can you pl pastebin the output of lspci so that we can figure out how to help
[05:04] <faisal> kbar like i said sir i am new to ubuntu .. i am an x windows user
[05:04] <projektidiot> kbar: yes
[05:05] <kbar> projektidiot, use WUBI
[05:05] <durt> faisal, might need the broadcom drivers, but you need to find out what card it is, try 'lspci' in a terminal.
[05:05] <faisal> ok and how do i do that
[05:05] <kbar> faisal, do you mean Microsoft Windows, or X Window
[05:05] <kbar> stop trolling
[05:05] <Jordan_U> Hankinator: You're welcome.

[05:07] <linux> hallow all i wanna add sound effects to my ubuntu ie when ill minimise or maximise
[05:07] <faisal> so what do i do now phlak user
[05:07] <kbar> projektidiot, there's no real way to do it if you can't get into bios. why can't you get into bios?
[05:07] <Jordan_U> projektidiot: I've never heard of a netbook that couldn't boot from USB before, are you sure that the drive is bootable (have you tried booting it from another computer)?  It is in the priorities list, but even at top priority it didn't boot. And when I hit F12 my only two options were IDE and Ethernet.
[05:08] <projektidiot> Jordan: I was able to boot easily on my desktop, so the drive should be fine. And I tried all three ports on my netbook.
[05:09] <kbar> projektidiot, you dont have a cd drive?
[05:09] <kbar> grr wrong question
[05:09] <projektidiot> kbar: nope.
[05:09] <Jordan_U> projektidiot: Is the drive readable from windows (or whatever OS currently have on the netbook)?
[05:09] <kbar> projektidiot, what netbook do you have
[05:09] <linux> phlak_user, i wanna add sound effects to my ubuntu ie when ill minimise or maximise

[05:13] <dsnyders> daffy_, your mouse may be getting worn out.

[05:24] <phlak_user> faisal: when you click the network manager , does it show list of available wifi access points?
[05:24] <BlackFire> faisal, which version of ubuntu r u using?/
[05:24] <faisal> no
[05:24] <greezmunkey> darkkrai: a quick search produces this: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general/360860
[05:24] <dsnyders> Thanks, wise_crypt
[05:25] <wise_crypt> dsnyders : no problem
[05:25] <faisal> blackfire i dont know what version i am using its one for laptop
[05:25] <doormat81> Quick question: Having trouble finding a solution to my mouse wheel problem.  It scrolls WAY too fast and not smoothly either.  How can I slow it down and smooth it out?
[05:25] <Jordan_U> projektidiot: Install via wubi, then hold shift when booting into Ubuntu to get the grub menu. Press 'c' to get to a grub shell and then 'ls -l' to list your drives.
[05:25] <tristan4444> my software center gets caught up authenticating and never installs
[05:26] <faisal> i installed ubuntu cause i want to learn programing and linux command
[05:26] <faisal> and i am stuck just at begining
[05:26] <tristan4444> just upgraded to 10.04
[05:26] <wgwinn> sousing thel atest ubuntu booting from a thumb drive per the site tutorial , i'm trying to run the Disk utility 'benchmark' on a few drives jsut to sort them out b average performance. seems like theres no way to have two reports open at once. is that accurate or am i just missing a key combo or something stupid?
[05:26] <roygbiv> faisal: well you gotta start somewhere :-D
[05:26] <maxmahem> well removing and then reinstalling nautilus seems to have solved my problem.
[05:26] <erpo> I just tried installing 10.04 with root on LVM. Then I added two new disks, set them up in raid1, created a pv on top of them, added them to the main vg, and extended the root lv onto the array. The system worked fine.  Is this an unsupported configuration?
[05:26] <faisal> thanks roygbiv

[05:27] <tristan4444> please help
[05:27] <erpo> It failed to boot btw.
[05:27] <phlak_user> !help
[05:27] <tristan4444> my software manager wont install..
[05:27] <faisal> where do i paste lspci
[05:27] <tristan4444> stuck on authentication screen..
[05:27] <phlak_user> faisal: paste.ubuntu.com
[05:28] <phlak_user> tristan4444: do you have internet access on that machine?
[05:28] <ausnomer> hmmm how come the console doesn't provide some sort of % when copying files so you know roughly how much long it has to go?
[05:28] <tristan4444> yep.. on it now
[05:28] <Jordan_U> projektidiot: If you see your USB drive listed in the 'ls -l' output then you are lucky and you can setup grub to boot from the flash drive. If not (which seems likely, though surprising with a netbook) then what I would do is copy a liveCD iso that has a "Copy to RAM" type option to your hard drive, I recommend grml as it's especially easy to loop boot like this.
[05:28] <doormat81> phlak_user, No, there's no option there to adjust the scroll speed.

[05:31] <tristan4444> phlak.. my update to 10.04 went but not well... lost a few things but could easily fix that if my software center was working.. any suggestions
[05:31] <ausnomer> why do distros like Debian still exist? Why don't they join the ubuntu dev team?
[05:31] <wise_crypt> !ot > mado
[05:32] <daffy_> debia is part of ubuntu
[05:32] <daffy_> debian
[05:32] <doormat81> phlak_user, no solution presented there, I'm afraid.
[05:32] <phlak_user> faisal: seems you need to download the 1000bgn microcode from http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads, extract it and copy it to /lib/firmware/
[05:32] <mado> wise_crypt: ... i'm sorry
[05:32] <phlak_user> doormat81: yes there is; did you try setting those params in xorg.conf like it says?
[05:33] <Therstrium> Is there a good alternative to handbrake on Ubuntu?
[05:33] <erpo> Therstrium: Why not use handbrake?
[05:33] <tristan4444> anyone know how to get my software center back online after upgrading from 9.1 to 10.04
[05:33] <doormat81> phlak_user, I did open up xorg.conf.  I have no entries for anything pertaining to a mouse.  in /etc/X11, right?
[05:33] <Therstrium> does it work on ubuntu?
[05:33] <wise_crypt> mado  : you can ask about it there  :)
[05:33] <Jordan_U> projektidiot: Then to install Ubuntu you'd follow either: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html or
[05:33] <erpo> Therstrium: Yes. It's called ghb.
[05:34] <daffy_> I am having some problems with my tower. I can not left click most of the time. if i enter metacity --replace it does for a minute but goes away.
[05:34] <faisal> it says i dont have permision to extract file to lib fimware
[05:34] <greezmunkey> mado: that information is freely available, google "texas sales tax rate"
[05:34] <wise_crypt> !google
[05:34] <doormat81> ausnomer, I would imagine that is because Debian and Ubuntu have somewhat different missions with their distros.

[05:35] <Jordan_U> projektidiot: ... Or I just realized that there is also an official guide for installing Ubuntu from within another linux distro (though it may need some adjusting for wubi)
[05:35] <phlak_user> doormat81: yes, normally its blank but you can generate it; also check this link out --> http://superuser.com/questions/124626/how-can-i-adjust-the-mouse-scroll-wheel-sensitivity

[05:37] <Hopeless8009> tristan04444: can you tell me how you got read of 9.10 with out braking the master boot record. also do you have to update grub in any way
[05:37] <wise_crypt> greezmunkey: haha :)
[05:37] <shawnboy> I guess GnuPG is something of the past.

[05:40] <tristan4444> is there a package that will shutdown my computer before the battery dies?
[05:41] <greezmunkey> daffy_: I had a similar issue, do you have a standard usb mouse?
[05:41] <erpo> tristan4444: My 9.10 desktop does that automatically but I don't know which package is responsible.
[05:41] <wise_crypt> greezmunkey: do you use intel graphic cards
[05:42] <faisal> ubottu it says faisal@ubuntu:~$ sudo cp

[05:42] <tristan4444> erpo: just updated to 10.04 ... too soon i suppose
[05:42] <roygbiv> i think that's a part of the standard power management stuff

[05:43] <wildbat> tristan4444, you can set that in power managment
[05:43] <tristan4444> what power manager do you have
[05:43] <tristan4444> mine is just an applett
[05:43] <phlak_user> back
[05:43] <daffy_> yes i have usedtraditional and trackball both
[05:44] <roygbiv> what about going brute force method and chmod'ing /lib/firmware to something more permissable?
[05:44] <daffy_> is there always ear 1400 users on?
[05:44] <roygbiv> lol that's a busy system
[05:44] <faisal> i tried sudo
[05:44] <tristan4444> wildbat.. my setting says it will suspend if criticlly low but doesnt
[05:45] <greezmunkey> daffy_: I found that I had some "wierdness" with my usb mouse in the usb port I had it plugged into. Seems strange to me, but moving it to a differant usb port (and a restart) cleared the issue up. You could try it at least.
[05:45] <daffy_> ok i am doing so now
[05:45] <nifty> How do I report a nasty kernel bug? (lucid). apport/ubuntu-bug won't do. I'm confused.
[05:46] <daffy_> restarting
[05:46] <daffy_> \
[05:47] <tristan4444> how do i fix my software center... it gets confused during autorization
[05:47] <tristan4444> can i turn off autorization settings
[05:47] <roygbiv> nifty: might get a better response in #linux
[05:47] <roygbiv> or google ;P
[05:47] <phlak_user> faisal: did that work?
[05:47] <durt> nifty, you can file bugs manually on launchpad
[05:47] <faisal> roygbiv chmod doesnt work either
[05:47] <faisal> or i am not entering it right
[05:48] <roygbiv> chmod 777 /lib/firmware
[05:48] <wise_crypt> !bug > nifty
[05:48] <phlak_user> roygbiv: faisal 777 is a VERY BAD IDEA
[05:48] <nifty> durt: when I attempt to file a bug, I'm being redirected to an ubuntu wiki page
[05:48] <faisal> where do i type that now roygbiv
[05:48] <roygbiv> phlak_user: for testing it's a perfectly fine idea
[05:49] <roygbiv> faisal: on a command line
[05:49] <faisal> it says no such file or directory
[05:49] <durt> nifty, what, is launchpad down for a bit?
[05:49] <roygbiv> faisal: sudo mkdir /lib/firmware
[05:50] <faisal> says mkdir: cannot create directory `/lib/firmware': File exists
[05:50] <daffy_> it still is not working
[05:50] <phlak_user> o_O
[05:51] <roygbiv> faisal: something deeper is wrong then, or so it would seem, if not PEBKAC
[05:51] <nifty> durt: I understand I can file a bug based on specific application. I'm puzzled on how to file a kernel-related bug.
[05:51] <greezmunkey> daffy_: no help at all?
[05:51] <phlak_user> faisal: did you manage to extract and copy that file you downloaded into this directory?
[05:52] <faisal> phlak it wouldnt let me
[05:52] <faisal> says i dont have permision
[05:52] <daffy_> no it still acts like it did, will move around and when i first turn on it works for a minute then nothing
[05:52] <phlak_user> faisal: which is why is asked you to type sudo before the copy command; eg. sudo cp file-to-be-copied /lib/firmware/
[05:52] <tristan3199us> can anyone help me fix my sofware center
[05:53] <tristan3199us> it seems to have been disturbed during upgrade
[05:53] <greezmunkey> faisal: that directory should already be there. Are you trying to copy a file there?
[05:53] <roygbiv> faisal: ls -ld /lib/firmware. what do you get?
[05:53] <greezmunkey> daffy_: what is the exact mfg/model# of it please.
[05:53] <durt> nifty, file it against the kernel package called 'linux' IIRC
[05:54] <faisal> drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 2010-05-28 14:38 /lib/firmware

[05:55] <roygbiv> faisal: are you sure you did the earlier given chmod command properly?
[05:55] <durt> nifty, if you need help ,see if anyone is alive in #ubuntu-bugs

[05:58] <arvn7> earthling: I just installed ubuntu  what was that comand?
[05:58] <nifty> durt: apport-bug linux didn't exactly help, I wasn't able to specify what the problem was, as the dmesg doesn't really tell the whole story
[05:58] <naptastic> What system does Ubuntu use for building initrd images?
[05:59] <daffy_> I had  been using the trackball mouse on this install for 4 or 5 months.
[05:59] <faisal> help please
[05:59] <phlak_user> naptastic: mkinitrd?
[05:59] <earthling> arvn7:  supposed to list installed packages status but I have something wrong so it isn't working...   think i'm misreading man page..
[06:00] <naptastic> phlak_user, looks like that's it! Thank you!
[06:00] <faisal> phlak help plz
[06:00] <wise_crypt> faisal: reading http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download/ubuntupocketguide-v1-1.zip might help you understand about ubuntu better i think
[06:00] <durt> nifty, you really should check launchpad to see if the bug is already filed, again check to see if anyone is alive in #ubuntu-bugs to see if it's a known issue
[06:00] <phlak_user> faisal: im sorry too many people are pulling you in different directions; cant focus
[06:01] <greezmunkey> faisal: what exactly are you trying to do?

[06:01] <DaftPyramid> is it appropriate to ask for help here?
[06:02] <nifty> durt: quick search did not yield similar issue. I'll try other means as you've suggested.
[06:02] <greezmunkey> DaftPyramid: go for it
[06:02] <durt> DaftPyramid, for Ubuntu it is
[06:02] <DaftPyramid> ok
[06:02] <DaftPyramid> I have a desktop with an old integrated ati card
[06:02] <dsnyders> DaftPyramid, It is appropriate if you have an ubuntu question.  If it's about rowboat navigation, you're on your own.

[06:02] <daffy_> faisal did you upgrade and lose wifi or never had it?
[06:02] <DaftPyramid> either that, or they weren't working correctly

[06:04] <greezmunkey> faisal: what is the exact filename?
[06:04] <faisal> well i installed the ubuntu using wubi from win7
[06:04] <jimmyz80> Anyone have a recommendation, I was adding a rule under window opacity with ccsm, and it sorta caused my desktop to crash and I cannot do anything logged in as that user, what would be the simplest thing for me to delete to fix this? As in, maybe reset all compiz settings for that user
[06:04] <cr45h-0v3r1d3> hello all
[06:04] <faisal> iwlwifi-1000-ucode-<IP_ADDRESS>
[06:05] <soreau> jimmy51_: All you have to do is start metacity then open ccsm and fix it
[06:05] <greezmunkey> faisal: where did you get that?
[06:05] <faisal> http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads
[06:05] <nomnex> what command do I pass to have his gpg key in my software source > authentication, here is the link (it is on Debian)
[06:05] <jimmyz80> I can't do anything as that user, what can i do logged in as a different user
[06:06] <bazhang> nomnex, debian?
[06:06] <nomnex> sudo gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0xE394D996 returns and error message
[06:06] <greezmunkey> faisal: got it. Hold a sec...
[06:06] <dsnyders> jimmyz80, can you do a ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a command prompt?
[06:06] <jimmyz80> yeah
[06:06] <greezmunkey> faisal: have you already extracted the file?
[06:06] <nomnex> bazhang, I am on Ubuntu, here is on Debian, that the Bluefish 2 package
[06:06] <faisal> sure greezmunkey
[06:06] <faisal> it wouldnt let me
[06:06] <soreau> jimmy51_: I wonder if you do 'sudo login' then login as the other user then run 'ccsm' and try to fix it
[06:06] <Raaagh> So compiz is working nicely, except the "Animations" and "Animations add-on" plugins. Any ideas?
[06:07] <faisal> it is not letting me extract the file in that directory
[06:07] <jimmyz80> hmm i'll try that
[06:07] <bazhang> nomnex, you are trying to use debian packages with Ubuntu? please clarify
[06:07] <greezmunkey> fais

[06:08] <DaftPyramid> I guess no one knows
[06:08] <cr45h-0v3r1d3> how much diffrent is ubuntu from debian
[06:08] <greezmunkey> faisal: save the file to your hdd
[06:08] <faisal> i saved it on desktop
[06:08] <roygbiv> cr45h-0v3r1d3: 18.394%
[06:08] <dsnyders> cr45h-0v3r1d3, ubuntu was based on debian, but I think they've diverged a lot.
[06:09] <soreau> DaftPyramid: fglrx does not support older radeon cards that aren't of the HDxxx series
[06:09] <soreau> DaftPyramid: You will need to remove fglrx
[06:09] <bazhang> nomnex, you want to add the PPA?
[06:09] <Moc> anyone havng issues doing dns lookup of google ?
[06:09] <greezmunkey> faisal:
[06:09] <DaftPyramid> I know, but someone said to still run with it, and on ATI's website, if you choose my card, it routes you to the catalyst fglrx page
[06:09] <bazhang> cr45h-0v3r1d3, a good topic for #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[06:09] <nomnex> bazhang, nope, it's in there already, but I have delete the his key and I don't know how to get it back
[06:10] <bazhang> nomnex, you wish to add the key for the PPA?
[06:10] <greezmunkey> faisal:
[06:10] <soreau> DaftPyramid: Well I'm telling you here and now, if it isn't HDxxxx series, fglrx no longer supports it
[06:10] <cr45h-0v3r1d3> thanks to those that just answered the question
[06:10] <nomnex> bazhang, yes
[06:10] <faisal> greezmunkey i saved the file on desktp

[06:11] <gkasinath> Okie.. Question on Dual head, gnome-panel not displaying.
[06:11] <faisal> how do i find that out greezmunkey
[06:11] <DaftPyramid> with  the free drivers, any 3D program would immediately crash, even flash games chugged
[06:12] <soreau> Raaagh: animations addon is provided by the plugins-extra package. How did you install addons?
[06:12] <phlak_user> gkasinath: on either of the monitors?
[06:12] <greezmunkey> faisal: double click the file you saved on your desktop
[06:12] <nomnex> bazhang, the key has been imported but I have deleted by mistake
[06:12] <nahar> I am using karmic & a software wants libc 2.11. I checked ubuntu repo & backports but of no help.
[06:12] <gkasinath> phlak_user: on the secondary monitor. Im using NVIDIA card.
[06:12] <bazhang> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name nomnex using this command?
[06:13] <greezmunkey> faisal: did you open it up in Archive Manager?
[06:13] <gkasinath> phlak_user, use to work with 9.10, fresh install of 10.04 killed it. :(
[06:13] <Raaagh> sorea: Through synaptic  package manager I believe.
[06:13] <faisal> greezmunkey i did double click
[06:13] <daffy_> greezmunkey: the mouse works good on my lap top. i had a similar issue to faisal when i was istalling on my dell 1525, i needed to install the dynex drivers, do you think that may be part of his issue?
[06:13] <phlak_user> gkasinath: ive normally seen that the panel is present in any one monitor
[06:13] <soreau> Raaagh: Have you restarted compiz since you installed it?
[06:13] <Raaagh> sorea:yep
[06:13] <phlak_user> gkasinath: maybe gnome-control-center should let you do something
[06:13] <nomnex> not, the command I have passed (and passed again without success after having removed the key) is sudo apt-get install wgdd-archive-keyring
[06:13] <greezmunkey> daffy_: from the link I posted to you earlier?
[06:13] <soreau> Raaagh: Then what is not working about it?
[06:14] <gkasinath> phlak_user, gnome-control-cenrter != gconf-editor, is it?
[06:14] <daffy_> it is just settig your mouse. i have had it working before on 10.04
[06:14] <nomnex> bazhang, did you see error msg on line 5, http://paste.ubuntu.com/441208/?
[06:14] <Raaagh> sorea: Simply the "Animations" plugin (and "Animations Addon"). Everything else seems fine, wobbly windows, Scale, Zoom etc
[06:14] <bazhang> nomnex, the normal way to add PPA repos is the one I gave you above (substituting the appropriate info of course)
[06:14] <greezmunkey> faisal: after you double clicked, you should have recieved the option to open it up in archive manager, did you select yes?
[06:14] <faisal> yes
[06:14] <Raaagh> Sorea: So I setup effects for Close, Open,Minimize, Shade, and Focus, but it doesnt render those effects
[06:14] <daffy_> i had a error and it scanned and fixed itsefl but now does not work right
[06:14] <nomnex> bazhang, I know how to install and PPA, it is installed, the key was also here, but i have deleted
[06:15] <soreau> Raaagh: You already said that. What I want to know is specific details like "I tired this and expected x but it didn't y and now z"
[06:15] <wise_crypt> setting mouse https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9200
[06:15] <nomnex> bazhang, does it make sens?
[06:15] <phlak_user> gkasinath: its probably a gui for gconf-editor
[06:15] <faisal> greezmunkey i did double click and it is opened
[06:15] <bazhang> nomnex, what about removing and updating, then re-adding the PPA and updating once more
[06:15] <soreau> Raaagh: Explain exactly what you did to 'setup' those effects
[06:15] <greezmunkey> faisal: ok, click the Extract button, archive manager will open a "file save" dialog box. Keep the default location, your desktop (for now)
[06:16] <Raaagh> Sorea: Sure, I clicked on "Animations", and selected the "open" tab, clicked on "magic lamp". but when I open problems they just appear without an animation
[06:16] <nomnex> bazhang, I just need to re-import the key, I can do that when it is keyserver.ubuntu.com, but that does not work with the debian server
[06:16] <gkasinath> phlak_user, gnome-control-center seems to be a one screen for the ubuntu *menu*. I dont find anything there that can help me :( gconf-editor hacking did not help either
[06:16] <faisal> okay i did that greezmunkey
[06:16] <nahar> Help !, I am using karmic & a software wants libc 2.11. I checked ubuntu repo & backports but of no help. how can i get it ?
[06:16] <nomnex> bazhang, do you have an idea how to do it?
[06:16] <faisal> greezmunkey i extract it on desktop
[06:16] <soreau> Raaagh: Can you please supply a screenshot of that window where you 'clicked on "magic lamp"' ?
[06:16] <bazhang> nomnex, I would do as I just suggested
[06:16] <phlak_user> gkasinath: out of curiosity, do you want the gnome-panel to extend across both screens?
[06:16] <greezmunkey> faisal: you should see a folder there, go into it, and open up the README file
[06:17] <jimmyz80> Yey fixed ty for suggestions
[06:17] <faisal> greezmunkey i did open the readme now
[06:17] <DaftPyramid> My PC has an integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 200, how can I get decent 3D acceleration?
[06:17] <soreau> Raaagh: The check boxes there if randomize animations is enabled (off by default) and you need to set the effect with a valid window match set
[06:17] <nomnex> bazhang, i will try my luck on the gnupgp channel, thanks anyway.
[06:17] <gkasinath> phlak_user, not really. I need a separate panel with window list applet for its respective screen.
[06:18] <jimmyz80> I dunno DaftPyramid, i find the default mesa drivers seem to work better than fglrx for me
[06:18] <DaftPyramid> jimmyz80: mesa?
[06:18] <jimmyz80> tried fglrx and the performance looked choppier to me
[06:18] <greezmunkey> faisal: read the entire file twice, then go through it again, making sure you have all of the "dependancies" in place on your system. After you are sure of all of that, then go through the installation proceedure.
[06:18] <jimmyz80> isnt that the name of it
[06:18] <phlak_user> gkasinath: and it is a separate screen as far as X is concerned? like DISPLAY=0.1 ?
[06:18] <jimmyz80> maybe i mistype
[06:18] <Raaagh> sorea, nah not easily. Do you have compiz installed?
[06:18] <DaftPyramid> with the free Radeon drivers, I get no 3D whatsoever
[06:18] <DaftPyramid> any 3D application crashes instantly
[06:19] <DaftPyramid> and I have other display errors
[06:19] <faisal> greezmunkey when it comes to linux i am no better then a dummy
[06:19] <LMJ> hi
[06:20] <DaftPyramid> it appears as though my card isn't supported by any drivers
[06:20] <gkasinath> phlak_user, uumm dont know that.. how do I find out? I'd set twinview when configuring via nvidia-settings
[06:20] <wise_crypt> faisal: read the pocket book might help you
[06:20] <greezmunkey> faisal: that's why I asked you to read it twice - to become familiar with what it is that you need to do, before starting - I am no "better" than you at this. It's just a matter of time and interest, experiance come from that.
[06:20] <gkasinath> phlak_user, I dont know what I did.. but I got it back now.
[06:20] <phlak_user> gkasinath: oh ok
[06:20] <phlak_user> phlak_user: :)
[06:21] <faisal> thanks guyz
[06:21] <faisal> greezmunkey thank you
[06:21] <faisal> and thank you phlak user
[06:21] <phlak_user> yw faisal
[06:21] <faisal> thank you wise crypt
[06:21] <gkasinath> phlak_user: I did the following things.. 1) gnome-panel --replace. 2) in gconf-editor unticked enable_arrows, auto_hide
[06:21] <greezmunkey> faisal: good luck with it, feel free to ask for help along the way.
[06:21] <Therstrium> why can't a create a file in a directory that has group write permissions for a group a belong to?
[06:21] <wise_crypt> faisal: no problem
[06:22] <daffy_> i think i am going to reinstall if i can back up enough stuff
[06:22] <phlak_user> gkasinath: oh ok
[06:22] <phlak_user> gkasinath: out of curiosity what happens if you type xterm -display 0.1 ?
[06:22] <faisal> and thank you roygbiv
[06:22] <gkasinath> phlak_user, I suspect the gnome-panel --replace did the trick.. I'll remember that and look out for similar problems on the channel for the next 1/2 hour.. :) my good turn for the day and a *thank you* to you! :)
[06:22] <faisal> thank you ubotto
[06:23] <greezmunkey> DaftPyramid: welcome to the club!
[06:24] <DaftPyramid> It's not a good club
[06:24] <gkasinath> phlak_user, xterm -display 0.1 > xterm Xt error: Cant't open display: 0.1
[06:24] <DaftPyramid> Back in the Windows days, I could do some mild 3D gaming with this card, now 3D games crash instantly
[06:25] <gkasinath> phlak_user, what should that output mean to me?!  What's your card again?
[06:27] <DaftPyramid> gkasinath: ATI Radeon Xpress 200
[06:27] <phlak_user> gkasinath: i remember we used to do this on a Sun Solaris using xinerama some moons back
[06:27] <gkasinath> daftpyramid - Shot in the dark - Have you tried envy?!
[06:28] <DaftPyramid> gkasinath: No, I've never even heard of that
[06:28] <phlak_user> DaftPyramid: not unless you change the kernel too (or recompile the old source code against the new kernel)
[06:28] <greezmunkey> DaftPyramid: start here: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.16.20.html
[06:28] <gkasinath> phlak_user, Hhmm.. with the new 10.04 way of doing the magic without xorg-conf, I m having trouble understanding where my settings are. :(
[06:28] <DaftPyramid> phlak_user: oh, ok, I won't be doing that
[06:29] <gurjeet> I am trying to reset my root password. I started Ubuntu 9.10 in recovery mode from the GRUB menu, but at a subsequent screen it is still asking for root passwrod!!! Is the Ubuntu runlevel 1 broken?
[06:29] <sensae> Can someone help me with Xinerama and dual monitors? Setting my secondary monitor higher than my primary results in icons off the screen and panels I can't see.
[06:30] <DaftPyramid> greezmunkey: I installed fglrx via Synaptic, but now I get the VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED error.
[06:30] <phlak_user> gurjeet: another old way of doing it is appending the word single to the end of the kernel line; it should drop you into the root shell
[06:30] <phlak_user> gkasinath: sensae is all yours :0
[06:30] <gkasinath> daftpyramid - Envy is here https://launchpad.net/envy. But hey, I dont know if it will work for you though
[06:31] <gurjeet> phlak_user: I think thats what the recovery option has at the end of kernel line
[06:31] <nomnex> bazhang, I got the key back, case solved (the easy way).
[06:31] <gkasinath> phlak_user - :) aye capt'n!
[06:31] <DaftPyramid> gkasinath: ok, I'll look into it, thanks
[06:31] <gkasinath> Hey Sensae
[06:31] <gkasinath> Sensae - What's your video card?
[06:31] <sensae> nVidia GTX 260
[06:31] <phlak_user> gurjeet: if you press e on that option in grub, you might be able toconfirm
[06:32] <gkasinath> Sensae - Awesome! have you installed the restricted drivers?
[06:32] <sensae> gkasinath: Yes.
[06:33] <gkasinath> Sensae - okie.. if you have any instances of the settings application running, close them now.
[06:33] <gurjeet> phlak_user: yes.. the recovery mode's kernel line _does_ have single at the end.. not I am going to reboot by editing the normal GRUB entry and adding single to it..
[06:33] <earthling> dpkg-query -W -f='${Package}  ${Version}  ${Status}\n' "*" but no status 'upgrade' is not shown and I know I have 52 packages to upgrade...  i want to list them via cli
[06:33] <gkasinath> Sensae - And open up a terminal window.
[06:33] <sensae> gkasinath: I'm dropped to shell, I stopped gdm.
[06:34] <gkasinath> Sensae - uumm.. didnt really have to do that.. can you go back to gnome with only one monitor?
[06:34] <DaftPyramid> It appears as though Envy is not supported for Ubuntu 10.04
[06:34] <phlak_user> gurjeet: ok let us know if that works
[06:34] <phlak_user> !nv
[06:34] <gkasinath> daftpyramid - Thanks for that. I used it eons ago on my notebook with ATI Raedon 340M.
[06:34] <JHon^> hey guys i just recently removed ubuntu from my pc and used easy bcd to rewrite my mbr now whenever i try and intall a distro the grub wont show i mean it gets installed without any error but i just dont see the grub it just booting windows is there a way to fix this
[06:35] <gkasinath> Sensae - uumm you there buddy?!
[06:35] <DaftPyramid> gkasinath: It says to use Jockey instead, but that doesn't seem as polished
[06:35] <sensae> gkasinath: I could.. but I've been working for 20 minutes on this xorg.conf, it's a rather complicated setup. I have one monitor rotated 90 degrees and higher than my primary, and I'm running xinerama. The screens are located where I want them but nautilus puts my icons too high
[06:35] <phlak_user> JHon^: you need to either install grub on mbr or make the ubuntu boot partition bootable
[06:36] <gurjeet> phlak_user: nope.. even that lead me to the "Recovery Menu" screen with 4 options, and when I choose "root    Drop to root shell prompt" it says: "Give root password for maintenance (Control D  to continue)"
[06:36] <JHon^> alrite i'll try that
[06:36] <gkasinath> Sensae - I have not encountered this problem. I've two screens one 22" wide (1650 something res) and another 20" normal (1280 something res).
[06:36] <gurjeet> phlak_user: This is all heppening in VirtualBox VM
[06:37] <sensae> gkasinath: Is one screen physically located above the other?
[06:37] <gkasinath> sensae - Having said that, It could be the offset difference between the two screens you've got.
[06:37] <gkasinath> Sensae - no.
[06:37] <phlak_user> gurjeet: oh ok; what happens if you press ctl-d?
[06:37] <justin22885> you guys know when you format an external storage device to a linux partition type you have the option of taking permission of that filesystem?
[06:37] <sensae> That is the problem I'm having. Offsetting my taller monitor because it's higher than my primary makes nautilus draw my icons above my main display
[06:37] <phlak_user> justin22885: ok
[06:37] <ausnomer> holy crap, Canonical professional support for home users is 138 pounds per year..... you can replace most netbooks for that!
[06:37] <gurjeet> phlak_user: back to the "Recovery Menu" screen with those 4 options :(
[06:38] <tarikk> hey guys. i hav a usb device thats not being detected
[06:38] <tarikk> unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
[06:38] <ausnomer> why isn't there a canonical "low paid indian tech support" option?
[06:38] <gkasinath> Sensae - I may not be able to help you, bud. But out of curiosity, what's the position set on the primary and secondary?
[06:38] <tarikk> what can i do
[06:39] <bazhang> ausnomer, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:39] <sensae> gkasinath: It wouldn't move the secondary so I moved the primary. Secondary is to the right of primary, rotated 90 CW, primary is shifted 550 pixels down
[06:39] <sensae> nautilus wants to draw my icons as if primary isn't shifted
[06:39] <gurjeet> phlak_user: options are: "resume    resume normal boot", "dpkg    repair broken packages", "root ... mentioned above..", :xfix Try to fix X server"
[06:39] <justin22885> i did that phiak_user and samba wont read or access the shares when that device is placed on another system
[06:40] <grahamrw> how do i turn off wobbly window effect(gnome) ?
[06:40] <phlak_user> gurjeet: can you add this to the kernel line instead of single --> rw init=/bin/bash
[06:40] <deostroll> hi i use ubuntu 8.10. i can't install glib...when i do "sudo apt-get install build-essentials libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-0-dev" it says couldn't find packages
[06:41] <gkasinath> Sensae - hhmm.. okie.. I checked my config.. side-by-side set up.. Both Pri and Secon are position absolute. But secondary is +1680+0 offset to primary. That is instead of left of/right of business.
[06:41] <grahamrw> deostroll: check your mirror
[06:41] <phlak_user> grahamrw: System-Preferences-Appearance-Visual Effects-None
[06:41] <deostroll> grahamrw: how?
[06:41] <grahamrw> phlak_user: wrong answer dude. i dont want to turn off ALL visual effects.
[06:41] <grahamrw> just wobbly windows
[06:41] <phlak_user> grahamrw: ccsm
[06:41] <deostroll> does synaptic and apt-get use the same mirror...?
[06:41] <grahamrw> phlak_user: rgr.
[06:42] <bazhang> !ccsm > grahamrw
[06:42] <gkasinath> Sensae - So.. doing a quick desk check.. I figured that if you'd had to set your position for both absolute and offset the secondary to +0+xxxx (where xxxx is the y resolution of pri) it *er.. might* work?!
[06:42] <grahamrw> deostroll: system > admin > software sources
[06:42] <gkasinath> !ccsm > gkasinath
[06:42] <grahamrw> deostroll: try a different mirror
[06:43] <grahamrw> i know in arch linux if you dont have a very authentic mirror you wont see any packages
[06:43] <DaftPyramid> gkasinath: apparently Jockey is what Ubuntu already uses, and that said there were no proprietary drivers available for my card
[06:43] <phlak_user> !compiz-configuration-settings-manager
[06:43] <sensae> gkasinath: Yeah.. and I've got that bit working, to offset it I'd need to do -550+1680, it won't let me do - so I move primary down instead
[06:43] <gkasinath> daftpyramid - Oh okie.. Sorry about that mate. :(
[06:44] <DaftPyramid> I refuse to believe that there simply aren't any drivers for my card
[06:44] <gkasinath> sensae - Sorry bud, I guess I m wasting your time by suggesting things you've already tried... time to call the big guns over..
[06:44] <gkasinath> phlak_user,sensae - Phlak_user - I've tried but not been able to help Sensae, can you help please?
[06:45] <gurjeet> phlak_user: thanks.. that worked..
[06:45] <phlak_user> gurjeet: yw
[06:45] <gurjeet> phlak_user: I am sorry but I didn't understand that "yw"..
[06:45] <deostroll> grahamrw: isn't ther a shell based way to get best mirror...
[06:45] <phlak_user> gurjeet: yw -> you're welcome
[06:46] <gurjeet> :)
[06:46] <gurjeet> phlak_user: IMHO Ubuntu recovery mode is broken then..
[06:46] <phlak_user> gurjeet: or they made it safer ?\
[06:47] <gurjeet> phlak_user: a bit too safe to be usable by even a hacker !!! single mode is supposed to work on all linux distros.. but no ..
[06:48] <gkasinath> greezemunkey - Hello there, are you able to help with nvidia dual head top-down set up, please?

[06:51] <Guest67016> I installed 9.10 on an old (pIII) HP laptop. Can't get better than 800x600 resolution. Anybody know how to change the video settings?
[06:52] <brando753> phlak_user: can you explain
[06:52] <nickee> What sw will show which processes are doing tcpip io, & quantity?
[06:52] <squiddy> why does getdeb down?
[06:52] <phlak_user> brando753: you need to use wpa_supplicant in combination with /etc/network/interfaces to get it working..
[06:52] <phlak_user> !info wpa_supplicant
[06:53] <brando753> ?
[06:53] <brando753> dosent exist
[06:53] <justin22885> should i format an external USB harddrive to ext2, ext3, ext4, jfs, xfs, or reiserfs?
[06:53] <SwedeMike> nickee: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-linux.html hopefully there is one that does what you need
[06:53] <phlak_user> !info wpasupplicant
[06:53] <nickee> SwedeMike: thanks :)
[06:54] <pk__> Justin whatver u like
[06:54] <earthling> well_laid_lawn, this has been a complete wast of my time...  might as well go ahead and sleep on it... if i'm lucky my dreams will be more helpful than this...
[06:55] <Guest67016> anybody know of a tool to change video settings?
[06:55] <brando753> but what do i do in the CL to connect
[06:55] <phlak_user> earthling: were you looking for this -dpkg --get-selections
[06:57] <nickee> SwedeMike: Wow - there's a lot on that page.!  Can you recommend a simple one? Here's the problem: Something is using almost the full download bw of my inet connection, I'd like to find out which process.  My guesses are Thunderbird email, or apt, but it could be something else. What might be a good tool to find out?
[06:57] <SwedeMike> nickee: sorry, I googled for you, now you have to do the rest.
[06:57] <phlak_user> brando753: go here --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo and scroll down to WPA supplicant
[06:58] <justin22885> well, i guess ill just have to temporarily transfer these files elsewhere and just recreate the filesystem
[06:58] <greezmunkey> phlak_user: (no dash before dpkg) :)
[06:58] <phlak_user> nickee: iptraf works quite well though
[06:58] <phlak_user> greezmunkey: my bad i wanted to use the dash as pointer ;)
[06:59] <darren> hello
[06:59] <brando753> phlak_user: thanks ill look at it
[06:59] <darren> am  a Chinese guy, freshman here
[06:59] <phlak_user> brando753: yw
[07:00] <phlak_user> darren: glad to know that
[07:00] <punkmexic> i love ubuntu i cant wait til pidgin and other messenger get webcam support!
[07:01] <darren> is anyone else from China ?

[07:01] <darren> 有 中国 人 在 这里 么
[07:01] <tyler_d4> I have a kingston us drive that I have formatted using ubuntu to be removable, I used the util in ubuntu 10.04 - however its not picked up from the machine I'm trying to install it on?
[07:02] <bazhang> darren, /join #ubuntu-cn
[07:02] <phlak_user> tyler_d4: is that machine also ubuntu/linux?
[07:02] <tyler_d4> ubuntu install usb device
[07:02] <NinoScript> punkmexic, If you use MSN, emesene rocks. If not, you could use Skype :)
[07:02] <tyler_d4> phlak_user: yup
[07:02] <Keiyentai> quick question. Does Ubuntu have a feature like readyboost were it can utilize flash ram from SDCards/USB Drives?
[07:02] <punkmexic> yes emesene is a good clone but webcam doesnt work over there
[07:03] <punkmexic> just on skype
[07:03] <phlak_user> tyler_d4: both same distros i.e. karmic or lucid ?
[07:03] <punkmexic> i read that gtalk webcam can work in pidgin but i havent tested
[07:03] <phlak_user> tyler_d4: one thing to note would be that you might have formatted it as ext4 and that fs is not supported in the other
[07:04] <punkmexic> where are u from NinoScript
[07:04] <punkmexic> ninoscript is a xchat scriptt?
[07:04] <tyler_d4> phlak_user: I have checked using gparted and it is fat32
[07:04] <phlak_user> !ot | punkmexic
[07:04] <NinoScript> Keiyentai, Swap partitions? :)
[07:04] <phlak_user> tyler_d4: so when you plug it in, does dmesg show up any errors etc?
[07:04] <tyler_d4> phlak_user: verified the usb works by using a keyboard mouse in the machine
[07:05] <NinoScript> punkmexic, yes, I am a bot :P
[07:05] <tyler_d4> phlak_user: no it does not
[07:05] <DaftPyramid> okay, I removed fglrx and reinstalled the free Radeon driver, and everything is back to normal
[07:05] <Keiyentai> hmm I was just wondering if Ubuntu had a similar feature. I am still new to Linux/Ubuntu
[07:05] <chuxxsss> anyone know much about using idevice to look at iphones and setting up springboard like on you tube?
[07:05] <NinoScript> punkmexic, I'm from Chile (and I am not a script nor a bot, just in case)
[07:06] <phlak_user> tyler_d4: do you get any message at all like these --> scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access     Single   Flash Reader     1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0
[07:07] <Keiyentai> I am trying to decide if I want to completely go from Windows to Linux.
[07:07] <tyler_d4> phlak_user: I just kicked the bios in the head and rebooted and now it said, hey there it is
[07:07] <tyler_d4> :)
[07:08] <phlak_user> tyler_d4: good for you
[07:08] <tyler_d4> phlak_user: ty for the help though :)
[07:08] <phlak_user> tyler_d4: yw
[07:08] <nickee> phlak_user: thanks :)
[07:09] <DaftPyramid> my problem is this: I have an integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 200 with the free Radeon drivers, but all 3D applications crash immediately upon opening them
[07:09] <phlak_user> nickee: did that work for you?
[07:10] <DaftPyramid> (by the way, is it possible to turn off the "so-and-so entered the room" notifications?)
[07:11] <vineeth_> right click on the room->settings->hide join enter exit mesages
[07:11] <brando753> ya I couldnt figure what I had to do? How do i tell it the name password and connect to the router via CL
[07:11] <DaftPyramid> vineeth_: thank you
[07:11] <vineeth_> np
[07:12] <tyler_d4> brando753: you would you an interface like links or elinks
[07:13] <brando753> tyler_d4: ? I dont have a graphical environment installed
[07:13] <tyler_d4> brando753: text based internet browsing from term :)
[07:13] <brando753> tyler_d4: what im trying to do is connect my wifi without a GUI
[07:14] <vishpoison> i just dloaded a tar.gz file but i am unable to unzip it
[07:14] <vishpoison> it says not a gzip file
[07:14] <tyler_d4> ahh, thought you just wanted to hit the admin page or something my appologies, know < nothing about wifi from term
[07:16] <vishpoison> i just dloaded a tar.gz file but i am unable to unzip it
[07:16] <vishpoison> it says not a gzip file
[07:16] <vishpoison> ??
[07:16] <Docteh> vishpoison: file filename
[07:17] <vishpoison> Docteh: data
[07:17] <Docteh> try downloading it again?
[07:17] <Josef_K> How can I quickly find out what packages are available on the live CD/DVD (without actually testing it)?
[07:17] <vishpoison> tried opening it with win rar in windows too.. it opens up fine there
[07:17] <Docteh> what does winrar say it is
[07:18] <vishpoison> it just opens it
[07:18] <vishpoison> and shows whts in it
[07:18] <tyler_d4> in my 10.04 server install, it detects multiple drives, then procedes to ask if I want to configure raid, I say yes
[07:18] <Docteh> look next to the file name of the archive
[07:18] <slayer> hi i have a question
[07:18] <tyler_d4> then on the partitioner it takes me to Configure iSCSI volumes
[07:19] <Docteh> Josef_K: theres a package list for the dvd in the dir the image is in I think
[07:19] <tyler_d4> I don't have iSCSI volumes
[07:19] <tyler_d4> its all one machine
[07:19] <DaftPyramid> I have an integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 200 with the free Radeon drivers, but programs crash if they try to render 3D graphics
[07:19] <uLinux> sladen, ask the question
[07:19] <uLinux> *slayer
[07:20] <vishpoison> Docteh: TAR+GZIP archive
[07:20] <slayer> how do i get the dvd portion of the restricted extras to work
[07:20] <mundy> Hi I'm running 10.04 and after waking my computer after it was hibernating my bluetooth adapter is not working
[07:20] <slayer> on 9.10
[07:21] <vishpoison> ..
[07:21] <Docteh> vishpoison: where is this archive from?
[07:21] <Docteh> somethings wrong with the copy on the linux computer
[07:21] <vishpoison> its MONyog..
[07:22] <Docteh> wuzzat
[07:22] <mundy> ubuntu and windows(vista) both the adaptor has disappeared
[07:22] <vishpoison> GUI to access MySql
[07:22] <greezmunkey> mundy: does a restart correct the problem?
[07:22] <tyler_d4> no-one
[07:22] <mundy> no restarting  does nothing
[07:23] <Docteh> vishpoison: try redownloading it?
[07:23] <mundy> I tried a USB live boot up and it still doesnt pop up
[07:23] <vishpoison> yup.. doing that
[07:23] <greezmunkey> mundy: whoa
[07:23] <Docteh> mundy: does it show up in lspci?
[07:23] <mundy> let me check
[07:23] <darren> why i cant see the mails on my evolution when i finished the evolution setting?
[07:24] <nickee> phlak_user: iptraf shows the servers sending me packets.  The unknown download I had stopped before I got iptraf installed.  I think from the server, I might have known what application was doing the dl.  But, iptraf doesn't show the sw on my system, the process, that is doing the dl.  Do you know some other monitoring tool that would show which process is doing how much tcpip traffic? Thanks :)
[07:24] <darren> thx
[07:24] <greezmunkey> darren: not set up correctly for your email provider? Is it a private email server or gmail, etc.
[07:25] <darren> gmail
[07:25] <mundy> no bluetooth.  :( in  lspci
[07:25] <uLinux_> Docteh, you burned the copy of ubuntu at low speed?
[07:26] <darren> i am not sure if i set it up correctly
[07:26] <mundy> !@#$
[07:26] <uLinux_> you just need to burn the image at x4
[07:26] <mundy> i'll deal with this in the morning
[07:26] <Docteh> oic restarting iscsi isn't working
[07:26] <maxagaz> hi
[07:26] <xeks> Hello, all.
[07:26] <uLinux_> hi
[07:26] <maxagaz> how to use iphone on kde ?
[07:26] <maxagaz> (lucid)
[07:27] <greezmunkey> darren: in recieving mail server type=POP, server pop.gmail.com, use secure connection SSL, auth type password.
[07:27] <uLinux_> dunno
[07:27] <xeks> I'm looking to use Ubuntu on my crappy laptop and was wondering if I should use the desktop or netbook version?
[07:27] <vishpoison> Docteh: still the same !!!
[07:27] <vishpoison> :(
[07:27] <Docteh> thats odd
[07:27] <darren> in the receiving email, configuration,pop.gmail.com. is that right ?
[07:28] <greezmunkey> xeks: I use the desktop version on my laptops, netbooks are differant.
[07:28] <greezmunkey> darren: yes, username is your entire email address
[07:28] <xeks> ah okay, is it possible to install ubuntu via usb since i don't have a dvd burner?
[07:29] <darren> thanks
[07:29] <darren> ill try again
[07:29] <norton> "
[07:29] <vishpoison> Docteh: anything else u can thik of ?
[07:29] <vishpoison> *think
[07:29] <greezmunkey> xeks: yes, but it helps if your LT will boot to a usb drive - there are others here that know that inside and out, deferring to the group...
[07:29] <darren> it didnt work
[07:30] <Docteh> decompress it with winrar and zip it up and copy it over like that
[07:30] <vishpoison> hmm.. wokie
[07:30] <greezmunkey> darren: did you choose ssl encryption?
[07:30] <darren> yap, i did
[07:31] <xeks> greezmunkey which group should i join to ask more specifically?
[07:31] <greezmunkey> darren: you chose pop as your server type
[07:31] <greezmunkey> xeks: here, I'm just not the best source for that.
[07:31] <darren> i type like this: pop.gmail.com
[07:32] <darren> as server
[07:32] <xeks> greezmonkey, so i should just ask around or do you know someone i can specifically ask?
[07:32] <Raaagh>  Is there a networking program that will let me mount a windows share as "STORE/public" as opposed to "<IP_ADDRESS>/public"?
[07:32] <Raaagh> INFO: Currently I have a Dlink dsn323 NAS providing a windows share called "STORE" with a dynamically assigned ip (router bugs out with static). The inbuilt ubuntu networking features dont work, and the "sudo mount" requires an ipaddress.
[07:32] <Docteh> whats the tool that tells me how much traffic is going in and out of an interface?
[07:32] <greezmunkey> darren: at the top, in the server type, choose pop
[07:33] <darren> okay, done
[07:33] <darren> how abt password ?
[07:33] <justin22885> im reformatting a 1 terabyte external USB harddrive, this drive will most likely only ever be used with linux systems, what should i format this in?
[07:33] <darren> need i type in my password?
[07:34] <Docteh> justin22885: most likely would be fat32, really sure is ext4 ;)
[07:34] <AndrewX192> Are uppercase usernames allowed in ubuntu now?
[07:34] <justin22885> uuuh, what?
[07:34] <justin22885> oh.. i get it
[07:35] <justin22885> point is at this point in time i dont even have a windows system
[07:36] <justin22885> docteh, im looking to distance myself from things like windows
[07:36] <justin22885> heh, i even put linux on my router
[07:36] <Keiyentai> thats what I am trying to do. Get rid of Windows.
[07:37] <Docteh> I'd go with ext4 personally, jfs reiserfs xfs all acted stupid when something goes wrong
[07:37] <Keiyentai> my problem is I cant figure out how I want to tweak my Ubuntu system
[07:37] <justin22885> i had an issue earlier, when i formatted the harddrive with ext3, i accidently took permission of the filesystem while creating it, though i could mount it from the root console in openwrt, i could not access it through samba... i have to recreate the filesystem.. ill probably format with fdisk this time
[07:38] <justin22885> make a linux partition with fdisk then use mkefs ext4 or whatever the command is
[07:38] <Docteh> ext3 you can change permissions on anything
[07:38] <Docteh> mkfs.ext4  <-- i like this pattern
[07:38] <justin22885> i could change permissions of the files, not the filesystem itself.. i know its odd, but it wouldnt even let me mount the device unless i was root
[07:38] <Docteh> I hope brtfs doesn't disappoint as I really want to make but her files! jokes
[07:39] <justin22885> i wish linux would create a filesystem with no permissions so it can be mounted, access, and modified by whoever plugged the device in
[07:39] <Docteh> hmmm
[07:39] <vishpoison> Docteh: this is funny.. i extracted the file  in windows.. there it shows up some files and two folders bin and res.. when i transfer it to ubuntu.. those two folders vanish !!!
[07:39] <Guest54205> I would like to learn c++ ubuntu, what program can I download
[07:39] <vishpoison> lol
[07:39] <tonii> justin22885: then you want FAT32 for the drive
[07:40] <tyler__> Guest54205: Um, I'm not sure you would want to download a program to learn C++. Try a book instead.
[07:40] <Docteh> justin22885: ubuntu has a special handler that lets you mount file systems that dont have permissions as a user, so fat32 or ntfs is the way to go if thats 100% required
[07:40] <justin22885> tonii, why cant linux create a replacement to fat?
[07:40] <Guest54205> tyler_ : no i mean a platform
[07:40] <arunkumar413> Guest54205: install gcc
[07:40] <wise_crypt> !permission > justin22885
[07:40] <Guest54205> arunkumar413: gcc? where?
[07:41] <arunkumar413> Guest54205: sudo apt-get install gcc
[07:41] <tyler__> Guest54205: Ubuntu should have gcc in it's repositories.
[07:41] <roygbiv> what's wrong with using fat32? it's a proven, near universal basic filesystem
[07:41] <Guest54205> arunkumar413: ok i did it, now what?
[07:41] <tonii> justin22885: I have no idea.
[07:41] <i_am_null> hehe
[07:42] <fgc> what
[07:42] <Guest54205> arunkumar413: there's no gcc under programing
[07:42] <Docteh> might want build-essential
[07:42] <linux_is_my_hero> anyone know where the opera installer puts opera? i want to uninstall it but i dont know where it goes
[07:42] <tyler__> Guest54205: As far as an IDE there is Codeblocks, Anjunta, and Codelite (all are in the the repositories)
[07:42] <Docteh> Guest54205: are you looking in synaptic or the other gui?
[07:42] <arunkumar413> Guest54205: did u try the command i said
[07:43] <arunkumar413> Guest54205: http://gcc.gnu.org/
[07:43] <justin22885> trying to do away with anything windows roygbiv
[07:43] <Docteh> linux_is_my_hero: look in /opt
[07:43] <roygbiv> FAT was around long before windows
[07:44] <Docteh> justin22885: go with HFS then
[07:44] <justin22885> whats hfs? ive never heard of it before
[07:44] <roygbiv> hfs is from apple
[07:44] <wise_crypt> Guest54205: to search an app use " sudo apt-cache search appname "
[07:44] <justin22885> yeah.. thats not happening, the one thing i hate more than windows is mac
[07:44] <axel_foley> how to set mount options of an nfs in /etc/fstab, that everybody can work on a project with 777?
[07:45] <arunkumar413> Guest54205: which distribution r u using
[07:45] <slayer> hi what is the 'sudo' part of terminal use
[07:45] <axel_foley> <IP_ADDRESS>:/home/billgates/projekt_ml /media/pml_albrecht nfs defaults 0 0
[07:45] <Guest54205> wise_crypt: thank you, that is verpfuly hel
[07:45] <Guest54205> arunkumar413: 1004
[07:46] <wise_crypt> !info gcc-4.1 | Guest54205
[07:46] <roygbiv> justin22885: i would kindly suggest you get over your susceptibility to demagoguery and just use whatever is approrpriate for the situation. fat32 is just fine for a thumb drive. who cares that MS wrote it back in the 70s. it's tested, tried and true, and near universal in support
[07:46] <arunkumar413> Guest54205: then gcc should be installed by default
[07:46] <wise_crypt> Guest54205 : no problem :)
[07:46] <arunkumar413> Guest54205: first type gcc in the terminal
[07:47] <arunkumar413> Guest54205: if its installed it will show u the version
[07:47] <justin22885> i also have an issue with my router reating fat32 for some reason
[07:47] <Guest54205> arunkumar413: errr it doesn't show me the version
[07:47] <justin22885> and yes, vfat is installed on the router
[07:47] <Guest54205> arunkumar413: it says no input file
[07:47] <chadi> Hi. I have broken my wireless modules by building compat-wireless then installing linux-backports-wireless. Is there a way to remove the kernel and install it again from the update manager?
[07:48] <wise_crypt> Guest54205 : gcc -v
[07:48] <Guest54205> 4.4.3
[07:48] <Jo3> hey guys you know how can share you internet over ad hoc in win 7 how can i do that on linux
[07:48] <axel_foley> have i to use suid in nfs mounting?
[07:49] <arunkumar413> Guest54205: wise_crypt is right
[07:49] <deostroll> hi how can i find in shell hard disks that can be mounted onto my file system...
[07:49] <Guest54205> how do you update
[07:49] <Guest54205> to 4.5.0?
[07:49] <wise_crypt> Guest54205: to search an app use " sudo apt-cache search gcc-4.5 "
[07:50] <Jo3> well?
[07:50] <Guest54205> wise_crypt: i have the 4.4.3 version, how do you update to 4.5?
[07:50] <greezmunkey> chadi: did you keep your old kernel before hacking at it?
[07:50] <greezmunkey> chadi: keep a copy.
[07:50] <chadi> greezmunkey: yes, i have an old kernel already
[07:50] <wise_crypt> Guest54205: " sudo apt-cache search gcc-4.5 " << search it see if it in the repos
[07:50] <igoryonya> hello, I need to change some element colors in gedit, but in "Font & Colors" in preferences, there is only possible to chose between some existing predefined color schemes: (Classic, Cobalt, Kate, Oblivion and Tango), I've looked in gedit in home folder and in usr/lib folder, didn't find any files, representing these themes. I just want to copy and rename one of them and change some colors...
[07:50] <igoryonya> ...in it, so that I have my own modified theme. where are they located?
[07:50] <i_am_null> Guest54205,  what's wrong with version 4.4.3 ?
[07:50] <wise_crypt> !info gcc-4.5 | Guest54205
[07:51] <chadi> greezmunkey: an older kernel, xxx.32-21. I hacked xxx.32-22
[07:51] <pa1> There is a ipv4 and ipv6 conflict on ubuntu lucid as well. I used the old fix for this, did anyone else faced the same issue. After the fix it seems to work fine.
[07:51] <HKtheDestroyer> oh samba why doeseth thou taunt me
[07:51] <HKtheDestroyer> 2 lucid boxes cant samba dance
[07:51] <greezmunkey> seems to me that you should be able to do a dist-upgrade to correct that, I'd have to verify it first.
[07:52] <Jo3> hey guys you know how can share you internet over ad hoc in win 7 how can i do that on linux
[07:52] <wise_crypt> !source | Guest54205
[07:52] <justin22885> hey.. is there any way i can get an ext4 partition multiple permissions?
[07:52] <HKtheDestroyer> my mint box sees the lucid samba server
[07:53] <HKtheDestroyer> but lo and behold another lucid box is blind
[07:53] <HKtheDestroyer> help it to see
[07:53] <igoryonya> Where are the gedit scheme files located, so I can change some colors?
[07:53] <Jo3> thanks anyway guys
[07:53] <tyler_d4> just found out that my server has a bad stick of ram....
[07:53] <wise_crypt> !mint | HKtheDestroyer
[07:53] <tyler_d4> pain in the ***
[07:53] <HKtheDestroyer> bah installed apache
[07:53] <chadi> greezmunkey: if I remove the kernel through synaptic, don't I get it back in update manager?
[07:53] <HKtheDestroyer> and ran the gui samba inteface
[07:54] <HKtheDestroyer> looks like i'll just run lts 10.04 on my laptop only
[07:54] <slayer> never mind i figured out my problems in the restricted extras package
[07:54] <greezmunkey> chadi: mark it for reinstallation, that should do it, but this advice is *free* you should verify that first.
[07:54] <justin22885> aah.. i can just add it into fstab of each computer with the user option
[07:54] <HKtheDestroyer> thanks for the non-support answer
[07:54] <HKtheDestroyer> ;)
[07:54] <chadi> greezmunkey: it's worth trying :)
[07:54] <HKtheDestroyer> like fixing gwibber
[07:55] <HKtheDestroyer> that was like 3 whole installs
[07:55] <HKtheDestroyer> until I found you just have to create a new profile
[07:55] <darren> how to use the pan ?
[07:55] <HKtheDestroyer> do they test this out or devs eating pixie sticks???
[07:55] <greezmunkey> HKtheDestroyer: what exactly are you trying to do?
[07:55] <wise_crypt> HKtheDestroyer : :)
[07:55] <HKtheDestroyer> hahaha
[07:55] <HKtheDestroyer> well
[07:56] <HKtheDestroyer> My samba server is 10.04
[07:56] <wise_crypt> !enter | HKtheDestroyer
[07:56] <HKtheDestroyer> and my client is also 10.04
[07:56] <greezmunkey> HKtheDestroyer: one line please...
[07:56] <Docteh> HKtheDestroyer: nobody likes to write documentation ;)
[07:57] <wise_crypt> !mintsupport | HKtheDestroyer
[07:57] <greezmunkey> wise_crypt: he has samba server on 10.04, and a 10.04 client
[07:58] <wise_crypt> !server | greezmunkey
[07:58] <HKtheDestroyer> k so mint is not the issue (It see a 10.04 samba server fine.) Another box running 10.04 is not browsing Nautilus and I'm sure you'll just say mount CIFS and be done with it
[07:58] <greezmunkey> wise_crypt: dude
[07:58] <ugliefrog> i hate that too
[07:58] <igoryonya> anyone knows gedit irc channel?
[07:59] <crdlb> igoryonya: #gedit on irc.gnome.org
[07:59] <greezmunkey> HKtheDestroyer: on the client, in a terminal enter: smbtree - enter a password, see what you get.
[08:00] <wise_crypt> greezmunkey : I got kicked by asking miniubuntu here even though i rephrase my question
[08:00] <HKtheDestroyer> greez>nothing...this inst firewall related, either...allowed internal IPs to any port can ping etc
[08:01] <greezmunkey> HKtheDestroyer: do the same thing on the server, please
[08:01] <wise_crypt> HKtheDestroyer: do troll the canel pls
[08:01] <wise_crypt> HKtheDestroyer: do troll the *channel pls
[08:01] <wise_crypt> HKtheDestroyer: *dont troll the *channel pls
[08:02] <HKtheDestroyer> Already did greez....also added the host lookum to the smb.conf to no avail
[08:02] <wise_crypt> !troll | HKtheDestroyer
[08:02] <tyler_d4> I'm looking at the guideline for fakeraid.... and now I'm waiting and going hw... again
[08:02] <fqh> Hi, can nvidia driver be used under custom compiled kernel?
[08:02] <Psy-T> I read about an app called gnomeart-ng but I can't manage to install it, because some of the dependencies can't be gotten (namely mono-common version 2.4 or higher), at least not through the Ubuntu software Center. Can you offer me an alternative to gnomeart-ng, please?
[08:02] <HKtheDestroyer> bah...google typepad...gone thx for nithing
[08:02] <greezmunkey> HKtheDestroyer: wise_crypt what is the deal?
[08:03] <SkaSkandal> Question, I'm trying to do the whole install CS:S with wine, cant figure it out though. Im getting stumped trying to compile Wine from CVS. My question is why cant I find some libraries and apps it tells me I need? Im very new to this whole IRC chat thing as well so be kind lol. If its any help im following a tutorial at "http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=howto+steam"
[08:03] <greezmunkey> yikes
[08:03] <wise_crypt> HKtheDestroyer : please use #linuxmint-help for your linuxmint please

[08:07] <nickee> phlak_user: iptraf shows the servers sending me packets.  The unknown download I had stopped before I got iptraf installed.  I think from the server, I might have known what application was doing the dl.  But, iptraf doesn't show the sw on my system, the process, that is doing the dl.  Do you know some other monitoring tool that would show which process is doing how much tcpip traffic? Thanks :)

[08:13] <nickee> nomad77: thanks :)
[08:13] <Psy-T> I'll try again, rephrased. Is there a program like gnome-art (Art Manager) to browse, select, install, and perhaps even customize various themes from gnome-look.org ?
[08:14] <greezmunkey> phlak_user: bmon is a nice little app as well
[08:14] <phlak_user> greezmunkey: tx will check that out too
[08:15] <phlak_user> Psy-T: whats wrong with gnome-art?
[08:15] <chadi> If I install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic-pae, it automatically installs linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-2.6.32-22-generic-pae, now if I remove linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic-pae, shouldn't linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-2.6.32-22-generic-pae be automatically removed?
[08:15] <vishal1> What does ! stand for in this chat?
[08:15] <greezmunkey> phlak_user: it gives you an overview, with some details
[08:15] <Psy-T> phlak_user: I liked the selection at gnome-look.org better than I did the one at art.gnome.org , that's all.
[08:15] <phlak_user> vishal1: it sends a command to the bot
[08:16] <phlak_user> Psy-T: i normally just download the theme i like and install it using System-Preferences-Appearance-Install
[08:17] <Ruzso> re
[08:17] <Psy-T> I did similar for the past hour or so, but then I read about programs that help make that process smoother.

[08:37] <phlak_user> Ginbun2: where are you downloading from?
[08:37] <tristan3199> autentication is required to install software packages... an application is attempting to preform an action taht requires priveleges. authentication is required to perform this action
[08:37] <phlak_user> chazco: you could try the alternate

[08:38] <ausnomer> I followed preciselty the instructions under "Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD" on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 and I'm still getting the error 15.
[08:38] <chazco> phlak_user - Considering that but I normally need to use the livecd to clean up the /home partition...

[08:39] <phlak_user> Ginbun2: network cable to Wireless Router and Laptop to Wireless Router on Wi-Fi right?
[08:40] <airtonix>  /facepalm
[08:40] <Ginbun2> phlak_user, I am downloading over ssh tho. does this explain the problem?
[08:40] <Ginbun2> phlak_user, yea
[08:40] <tristan3199> requires installation of untrusted packages. the action would require the installlation of packages from not authenticated sources.. "puch ok"
[08:40] <tristan3199> then it just closes and goes back to the software center
[08:41] <phlak_user> Ginbun2: no; are you on 802.11 b or g or n?
[08:41] <simplexio> tristan3199: does apt-get work ?
[08:41] <tristan3199> i cant run sudo apt-get or anything

[08:43] <phlak_user> |Dreams|: yes
[08:43] <Ginbun2> phlak_user, how do I know what type my laptop is?
[08:43] <|Dreams|> is it the e122 by any chance? iubuntu just wont see it i even did modprobe serial etc etc
[08:43] <phlak_user> |Dreams|: i mean yes a GPRS/Egde/EVDO modem but not specifically 3
[08:44] <tristan3199> any ideas

[08:44] <phlak_user> oops
[08:44] <phlak_user> Ginbun2: what make/model is it?
[08:44] <Ginbun2> phlak_user, samsung nc10 netbook

[08:45] <Ginbun2> I should get a higher transfer speed
[08:45] <phlak_user> !info iperf | Ginbun2
[08:45] <phlak_user> Ginbun2: run iperf -s on the server and iperf -c ip-address-of-server

[08:46] <tristan3199> can i turn off autentication

[08:47] <jayvee> Is there some way I can get bluetooth stuff into verbose mode?
[08:47] <phlak_user> jayvee: you could use hcitool (or even tail /var/log/daemon.log)

[08:48] <Ginbun2> wait, I think I should wait for my file copy to finish first

[08:48] <jayvee> and I have no idea how to pair stuff with hcitool
[08:48] <phlak_user> squiddy: yes

[08:51] <ausnomer> sudo aptitude install grub-pc installed the package but didn't run the configuration prompt script
[08:51] <jayvee> phlak_user: why should I use sudo? the gui doesn't need to use root.
[08:51] <wise_crypt> antivirtel: have you tried http://www.mythbuntu.org/
[08:51] <phlak_user> Ginbun2: whats the server side pastebin?
[08:51] <deostroll> jayvee, i need a the label of the mount
[08:52] <ausnomer> is there any way to get the grub-pc to do the config script again?
[08:52] <jayvee> deostroll: sudo blkid /dev/sdaX
[08:52] <jayvee> or something
[08:52] <antivirtel> wise_crypt not yet, but I use TVtime, there is image, but no sound :S

[08:53] <phlak_user> Ginbun2: did you not run iperf -s in the server before you ran the iperf -c on the client?
[08:54] <ausnomer> jayvee: it just says "Generating grub.cfg ... Found linux image: /boot/vm" etc doesn't open up a prompt like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Upgrading to GRUB 2

[08:54] <jayvee> dna2: it doesn't matter what container the video has and whether you run compiz
[08:54] <Ginbun2> phlak_user, looks like something else already using port 5001
[08:54] <Ginbun2> I have to change the port numbers
[08:54] <dna2> jayvee: hmm, so it shoudl run smoothly ?
[08:54] <phlak_user> jayvee: i would read this for bluetooth --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup

[08:55] <jayvee> phlak_user: cheers
[08:55] <dna2> jayvee: with mpl ayer/smplayer
[08:55] <jayvee> dna2: how about use a normal player instead?
[08:55] <jayvee> like totem
[08:55] <dna2> jayvee: where is that config file for mplayer?
[08:55] <dna2> jayvee: normal ? vlc?
[08:55] <wise_crypt> alg: please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for wine usage
[08:55] <phlak_user> Ginbun2: yes, looks like it; can you use some other port? with iper -s -p  portnum and use the same port in iperf -c
[08:56] <Ginbun2> phlak_user, now it says 20.9 Mbits/sec
[08:56] <dna2> jayvee: they suck:D
[08:56] <Ginbun2> that is a bit slow for a g type

[08:57] <ktne> is there any way i can install ubuntu 9.4 then update to 10.04?
[08:58] <ausnomer> ok my mistake... I have an sda and sdb and the sdb is the drive that the bios is set to load first
[08:58] <dna2> jayvee: great i have to boot now brb
[08:58] <ausnomer> so needed to install grub on the sdb
[08:58] <ktne> i have only 9.4 media
[08:58] <jayvee> ktne: I recommend installing 10.04 directly, although you can upgrade 9.04 -> 9.10 -> 10.04
[08:58] <jayvee> ktne: you can't upgrade 9.04 -> 10.04
[08:58] <nickee> phlak_user: do you work for ubuntu/canonical, or are you just hanging & helpin here?
[08:58] <ktne> jayvee: i see, can i do it entirely online?
[08:58] <jayvee> ktne: (by the way, it's 9.04, not 9.4) :)
[08:58] <ktne> jayvee:  ah, 9.04
[08:58] <jayvee> ktne: yes, in fact you have to do it online
[08:59] <ktne> can i install 10.04 from a 9.04 live cd?
[08:59] <ktne> this is the ONLY media i have
[08:59] <KhaZ> Hello - I've just finished an install of Ubuntu using the alternate installer, setting up my raid and lvm partitions.  When I reboot however, it seems to be sensing my 'fake raid', which I'm trying to avoid.  I'm trying to find the place to add 'nodmraid' to the grub config, but there doesn't seem to be a /boot/grub/menu.lst after the install is done
[08:59] <jayvee> phlak_user: lol, that hidd command from the article you linked says "Can't get device information: Success"
[08:59] <jayvee> some irony there
[09:00] <KhaZ> Is there a different way of updating menu.lst in 10.04?    Not the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line?
[09:01] <KhaZ> ubottu: I think you're intelligent, even if you are a bot.
