[17:30] <MrSnakeOil> rob_p: I hate you :) enjoy it tho, it's a lovely piece of hardware!
[17:31] <ratbert> ^workman^, i dont understan can you tell me the command with where i need to put the path of the iso
[17:31] <MrSnakeOil> Here goes  on the repost:
[17:31] <lgc> Slart, computer-janitor doesn't list old kernels since they are not considered "cruft" by it. The trick was to search for the "image" packages and manually remove them. Update-grub now lists the most recent kernel, as I wanted. Thanks.
[17:31] <MrSnakeOil> REPOST following NEtSPLIT: Ive just installed a fresh Unbuntu 9.10 on an iMac 7,1 yet there is no sound. lspci reports: 'Audio device: Intel 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)' , the volume controls are all the way up lsmod shows drivers installed for it. I've also vi'd alsa-base and added 'options snd-hda-inten model=imac24'. I'm afraid I've not progressed it. Is there anything else I should try?
[17:31] <nazzzux> apparle: E: The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[17:31] <paissad-acer> can someone help me to solve this matter ?

[17:31] <daniel11> ....??
[17:31] <paissad-acer> i don't know how to remove psb-kernel-headers
[17:31] <^workman^> ratbert: your mounting an ISO? ok do this. sudo /your/path/file.iso -o loop /where/you/want/to/mount/it
[17:32] <paissad-acer> i trried aptitude remove, dpkg -r & apt-get remove
[17:32] <^workman^> ratbert: your mounting an ISO? ok do this. sudo mount /your/path/file.iso -o loop /where/you/want/to/mount/it
[17:32] <milo_> since i upgraded to ubuntu9.10 my wireless is not working...anyone can help me?
[17:32] <nazzzux> IdleOne: I don't have permission to do that... How do I give me that permission? (Sorry, I'm kind of a newbeginner here.)
[17:33] <^workman^> ratbert: google is your friend. search "linux mount an iso" pulls up first link - http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-mount-iso-image-under-linux.html
[17:33] <L0rdAjax> hello all im having problem booting to Ubuntu after latest kernel update i googled but they say problem can be solved only by using old -14 kernel. Is it true or is there a solution ?
[17:33] <rob_p> MrSnakeOil: I'm getting excited for its arrival.  Anyway, good luck.  I hope you figure it out.  Shouldn't be too difficult though.  I've just not needed audio from Ubuntu on my MacBook so I haven't spent much time, "fixing" it.
[17:33] <^workman^> L0rdAjax: What error are you getting when booting with the newer kernel? what kernel version are you running?
[17:34] <MrSnakeOil> rob_p: thanks mate, you know a little kindness goes a long way. appriciated.
[17:34] <L0rdAjax> ^workman^ i dont get an error just when in boot selection i select ubuntu it prompts me to Grub:sh
[17:34] <JesusChrist> Hello all.
[17:34] <laeg_> is there anyway to resume an irssi session not running in screen  which is running on a server i've ssh to?
[17:34] <^workman^> L0rdAjax: Hmm, could be that the installer didn't copy over the vmlinuz and initrd?
[17:35] <JesusChrist> Do you belive in god?
[17:35] <^workman^> L0rdAjax: boot your working kernel and look in /boot to see if the new kernel is in fact installed and is not 0 bytes

[17:38] <guntbert> anli_: no dev here, but sometimes you can get dialogues to resize by closing them from the second... tab
[17:38] <dAlfa89_> IdleOne, I think he was maybe looking for a restore from LiveCD or something
[17:39] <dAlfa89_> As am I, actually...
[17:39] <^workman^> L0rdAjax: ah, wubi...srry man I don't know anything about wubi..
[17:39] <anli_> would be great if the display preferences window size (especiallt that) adapted to the screen size

[17:40] <dAlfa89_> anli_, you can move the window around by holding alt and click-dragging the window, if that helps
[17:41] <guntbert> dAlfa89_: that doesn't help if the window is too small :-)
[17:41] <^workman^> L0rdAjax, someone in this channel might know.... not sure though.
[17:41] <L0rdAjax> ok
[17:41] <anli_> dAlfa89_: hm, did not work
[17:41] <apparle> nazzzux: did you install that package from adobe website?... and plz tell exact error.... adobe-flashplugin or flash-plugin
[17:41] <anli_> Is there a alt-key-combo for the ok button?
[17:41] <dAlfa89_> guntbert, ah, I assumed it was too big :x
[17:41] <anli_> So I can use the keyboard instead
[17:41] <dAlfa89_> anli_, can you not tab to the button?
[17:42] <hevalbaranov> hello everyone. I've added a path to PATH variable and the path is true. however, shell gives "could not found the directory" error for the path. any ideas?

[17:42] <anli_> dAlfa89_: stupid :)
[17:42] <MrSnakeOil> Thanks for the helpguys, I might have just solved my problem! Time for a reboot and retest. :)
[17:42] <L0rdAjax> Can someone help me witha problem in booting Ubuntu.I installed it using wubi.
[17:42] <lia> oi
[17:43] <lia> hi
[17:43] <lzrdking> how come jaunty drops my bluetooth connections, and i either need to completely remove the device and re-add it, or sometimes i even need to reboot?  how can i keep my devices connected, or at least make it so they can reconnect consistently?  it happens with my BT mouse and with both sony phones that have a BT remote (apparently only one phone can be connected at a time, but one is better than none!)
[17:43] <lia> hi
[17:43] <guntbert> anli_: you can <tab> through though - apply is immediately after "show displays..."
[17:43] <anli_> Is there a bug reporting system built into ubuntu?
[17:43] <nazzzux> apparlet: I downloaded from adobe's website. Exact error message: "E: The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I cant' find an archive for it."
[17:43] <pharming> IdleOne: thanks for that insight.... well maybe you will know this. is deleting and reinstalling ubuntu just the same process as deleting windows and installing linux?
[17:43] <lia> hi
[17:43] <hevalbaranov> hello everyone. I've added a path to PATH variable and the path is true. however, shell gives "could not found the directory" error for the path. any ideas?
[17:43] <L0rdAjax> Can someone help me witha problem in booting Ubuntu.I installed it using wubi.
[17:44] <apparle> nazzzux: Goto the website and download and install it again
[17:44] <nazzzux> apparlet: Doesn't work. It says:
[17:44] <ath1s> L0rdAjax, what's the problem?
[17:44] <leshaste> does Tracker index pdf files?
[17:44] <IdleOne> pharming: you can make a separate /home see !home and then reinstall ubuntu
[17:44] <guntbert> !paste | nazzzux
[17:45] <sint> nazzzux: what plugin are you looking for? 32 or 64bit? you can still download the file from adobe.com and put it into firefox plugin folder by hand
[17:45] <IdleOne> nazzzux: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin/+bug/412944/comments/1
[17:45] <nazzzux> apparlet: "The package might be corrupted or your are not allowed to open this file. Check the permission of the file."
[17:45] <IdleOne> nazzzux: that has the solution you want
[17:45] <anli_> does not the archive manager in ubuntu support rar files?
[17:45] <nazzzux> IdleOne: Thanks. WIll check that out.
[17:46] <pharming> IdleOne... thanks for answering my question! but can you re-explain that... i don't understand
[17:46] <mcknin> Using Hardy, how do I upgrade from perl 5.8.8 to 5.10?

[17:46] <zenwryly> I've forgotten the command for shwoing which libraries a binary will use?
[17:47] <fcuk112> i am trying to disable byobu from starting up.  no matter if i select F9 to start upon login or disable this function, byobu still starts up when i start screen.  any way to disable byobu?
[17:47] <nazzzux> IdleOne: Just one thing, How do I give myself the permission to delete the file?
[17:47] <apparle> nazzzux: I think IdleOne's solution is perfect for you
[17:48] <apparle> nazzzux: use sudo before the command
[17:48] <IdleOne> nazzzux: use sudo rm /file/to/remove
[17:48] <nazzzux> Thanks
[17:48] <apparle> nazzzux: use 'sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/adobe-flashplugin.prerm'
[17:50] <sj4m35-15> any crunchbang users?
[17:50] <IdleOne> #crunchbang
[17:50] <sj4m35-15> it's based on ubuntu...
[17:51] <IdleOne> still not supported here
[17:51] <sj4m35-15> it's based on ubuntu...
[17:51] <IdleOne> still not supported here
[17:51] <sj4m35-15> dang!!
[17:51] <pharming> IdleOne, ok i see what you are suggesting. Is a seperate home only necessary if the user wants to save their settings. If i just want to totally wipe out everything and start over is this still necessary?
[17:51] <vik> Hello, I have extremely low wireless signal, although I am sitting 5 meter away from wireless router. Is it anyhow fixable (I've scan though forums, but did not find a solution
[17:51] <mcknin> answer to my question = activeperl, for the bots/future ref
[17:51] <nazzzux> IdleOne: I successfully deleted the file, but I still get the same error messages as before.
[17:52] <MaskedDriver> is there an official channel for the lernid project?
[17:52] <Binky1> okay I got ubuntu to install but the screen resolution is small how do I fix?
[17:52] <IdleOne> pharming: in that case pop in the livecd and chose to use the entire drive when you get to the partitiong part of the install
[17:52] <Seveas> MaskedDriver, try #lernid
[17:52] <MaskedDriver> Seveas, negative
[17:52] <MaskedDriver> did that first :)
[17:52] <gg> the desktop won't start after an improper shutdown any suggestions?!
[17:52] <Seveas> MaskedDriver, then try #jonobacon :)
[17:52] <IdleOne> nazzzux: on that bug report there was a couple of different work arounds, keep reading and see if any work for you
[17:52] <MaskedDriver> lol Seveas I doubt he has his own channel :)

[17:53] <Broken> guys anyone know a good screen recorder???
[17:53] <MaskedDriver> Broken, video?

[17:53] <Binky1> how do i fix screen resolution?
[17:53] <Seveas> Broken, istanbul?
[17:53] <IdleOne> !screencast
[17:53] <MaskedDriver> Broken, XvidCap Screen Capture
[17:53] <Broken> ty
[17:54] <MaskedDriver> XVidCap will record an individual section or the entire screen and when you record, you can record audio at the same time
[17:54] <MaskedDriver> I use it for my screencasts
[17:54] <pharming> IdleOne: ok, thats what i thought. my settings some how got all screwed up and i cant get my cube to work, or any extra visual effects, and i can't figure out how to fix it. so i think that i'm just going to start over.
[17:54] <Broken> thank you i will use that soft..
[17:55] <Binky1> How do I fix screen resolution?!?! I alrdy tried to install driver it doesnt Ive alrdy tried the hight setting
[17:55] <IdleOne> pharming: maybe you need to install your graphics driver again
[17:55] <nyc-h0st_> i can resolve a host via nslookup
[17:55] <nyc-h0st_> but if i ping from command line it wont resolve
[17:56] <nyc-h0st_> what in the world could be the cause
[17:56] <Seveas> nyc-h0st_, nscd?
[17:56] <nazzzux> IdleOne: Thanks alot! It works now.
[17:56] <IdleOne> nazzzux: glad you got it sorted :)
[17:57] <pharming> IdleOne: i wonder why my graphics driver would have started having problems? if you think that that may help, could you walk me through the process?
[17:57] <IdleOne> pharming: what card do you have?
[17:57] <nyc-h0st_> Seveas, nscd?
[17:57] <ratbert> i cant mount a dvd iso what can i do
[17:58] <sj4m35-15> use the mount command
[17:58] <lzrdking> how come jaunty drops my bluetooth connections, and i either need to completely remove the device and re-add it, or sometimes i even need to reboot?  how can i keep my devices connected, or at least make it so they can reconnect consistently?  it happens with my BT mouse and with both sony phones that have a BT remote (apparently only one phone can be connected at a time, but one is better than none!)
[17:58] <Binky1> How do  I fix screen reolution it doesnt go any higher than 800x600
[17:58] <nyc-h0st_> i'm not running nscd so it cant be the cause
[17:58] <kubanc> how do i look in terminal which desktop enviroment i have installed
[17:58] <MaskedDriver> pharming, you need to update your drivers when you install an updated kernel.  I usually just reinstall the drivers, then everything works ok
[17:58] <IdleOne> pharming:  start by trying System > Admin > Hardware Drivers and see if it offers driver if so enable it
[17:58] <MaskedDriver> Binky1, you need to install graphics drivers
[17:58] <sj4m35-15> Binky1: your SOL
[17:59] <Binky1> MaskedDriver, there not graphics card supported for linux
[17:59] <Binky1> on my computer
[17:59] <MaskedDriver> Binky1, what card do you have?
[17:59] <sj4m35-15> Binky1: i believe only ATI and Nvidia are supported
[18:00] <sj4m35-15> correct me if i'm wrong.
[18:00] <IdleOne> sj4m35-15: your partially right sorta kinda
[18:00] <MaskedDriver> sj4m35-15, are there no proprietary intel drivers?  That'd be weird
[18:00] <Binky1> im not sure its a old computer sence my other computer broke Pavilion XH545
[18:00] <sonne> MaskedDriver, no there are not
[18:00] <sonne> MaskedDriver, intel's drivers are free
[18:00] <pharming> IdleOne: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
[18:00] <sj4m35-15> i got a intel gma940
[18:01] <MaskedDriver> gotcha
[18:01] <IdleOne> Binky1: lspci | grep VGA
[18:01] <sj4m35-15> only getting 2d support
[18:01] <IdleOne> pharming:  did you start by trying System > Admin > Hardware Drivers and see if it offers driver if so enable it
[18:01] <sonne> sj4m35-15, maybe there is no 3d support at all - some laptop vga boards are like that
[18:01] <lia> ammonkey hi
[18:02] <sj4m35-15> yeah...
[18:02] <lia> sonne hi
[18:02] <sonne> hey
[18:02] <pharming> it says that "no proprietary drivers are used on this system"
[18:02] <Binky1> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/XP (rev 63)
[18:02] <sj4m35-15> is there any support for intel gma940 graphics chipsets?
[18:03] <sj4m35-15> i need 3d acceleeration for my gma940 intel graphic card for gaming, is it possible?
[18:03] <ammonkey> hello
[18:04] <sj4m35-15> ammonkey:hello
[18:04] <gg> the desktop won't start after an improper shutdown any suggestions?!
[18:04] <sj4m35-15> i need 3d acceleeration for my gma940 intel graphic card for gaming, is it possible?
[18:04] <IdleOne> pharming: Honestly I am not sure how to help you from here but you can take a look at http://intellinuxgraphics.org/ and ask in #intel-gfx maybe
[18:05] <Binky1> why does my display perf not go up higher? =[ can I add more options?
[18:05] <pharming> IdleOne: ok ill check it out, i appreciate your help!
[18:05] <IdleOne> pharming: no problem
[18:05] <n16h7f0x> how can i check if POSIX shared memory is enabled on the system ?
[18:05] <kubanc> what should be the problem, because i cannot see other partitions and disk, only the partition for kubuntu ?
[18:06] <sj4m35-15> urkki: are you finished?:-)
[18:06] <__Trullo> hmm.. I have alot of kept back upgrades now.. is there some dist-upgrade going on?
[18:07] <Binky1> where is the screen resolutions located?
[18:07] <laetzer> hi all. since going back to "normal" in "visual effects" whenever I hit alt+tab, there is a preview of the windows. how can I revert this? so that I only see the application, no preview, no effects?
[18:08] <sonne> laetzer, are you sure it's on normal?
[18:08] <NuuBuntu> In the guide I am using to install my wireless adapter, it says: "Make sure that /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/ exists! If this directory does not exist, then create it." ... Is that referring to /home/user/lib* or just /lib/*? Where should I be creating or looking for the directory?
[18:08] <kubanc> how do I uninstall KDE 4 from kubuntu?
[18:08] <sonne> it still looks like compiz
[18:08] <sj4m35-15> Binky1:in the preferences>
[18:08] <Binky1> yes i no
[18:08] <Binky1> but it only goes up to 800x600
[18:08] <sonne> NuuBuntu, it's exactly /lib
[18:08] <Binky1> can I add more?
[18:09] <sj4m35-15> Binky1:maybe that's all your monitor can handle?
[18:09] <NuuBuntu> sonne, so if I type  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/ into my navigator bar, it should take me to that folder?
[18:09] <Binky1> I had windows xp be4
[18:09] <sonne> kubanc, it's not that easy
[18:09] <Binky1> it fit the entire screen
[18:09] <sonne> NuuBuntu, not exactly, that's a "terminal" syntax
[18:09] <sonne> you should replace "`uname -r`" with your kernel version
[18:09] <kubanc> sonne, i found a command sudo apt-get purge kdelibs5
[18:09] <sonne> e.g. 2.6.31-generic
[18:10] <GuitarInc1> Last night, I noticed that not all packages are based on i686 architecture.  Is there a plan for eventually removing legacy architectures?
[18:10] <sonne> kubanc, that's a bit radical, but works indeed
[18:10] <sonne> kubanc, that also removes anything even by far related to kde
[18:10] <sj4m35-15> Binky1:i have an old toughbook it can only handle a 800x600 resolution.
[18:10] <sonne> make sure it doesn't remove anything you need
[18:10] <kubanc> sonne, any other suggestion ?
[18:10] <Binky1> is there a .conf file that I can edit?
[18:10] <sonne> kubanc, i'd go that way too
[18:10] <NuuBuntu> sonne, is there a command I can use to check if that folder already exists?
[18:11] <conb123> Is there anything in ubuntu for configuring microphones for some wierd reason my vocie is really high when i use my mic in karmic?
[18:11] <sj4m35-15> Binky1:my acer aspire one can only handle a 1078x600 resolution.
[18:11] <sonne> NuuBuntu, yep, on the terminal
[18:11] <sonne> ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/
[18:11] <sonne> or you can just navigate it on your graphic file manager
[18:12] <sj4m35-15> Binky1:what graphics chipset are you using?
[18:12] <sonne> kubanc, though, before allowing apt to remove everything, i'd write down the names of the packages i don't want to remove, and then reinstall them afterwards
[18:12] <Rajasun> kubanc: it ain't an easy task...had mine purged but 2 days ago...u have really to dive right through the list of installed packages to pick out those with anything to do with kde and qt
[18:12] <NuuBuntu> sonne, it says no such file or directory, how do I create a folder through terminal?
[18:12] <GuitarInc1> Last night, I noticed that not all packages are based on i686 architecture.  Is there a plan for eventually removing legacy architectures (e.g.: i586, i485, i386)?
[18:12] <Binky1> In not sure DX im asking if theres a conf file I can edited to add more resolutions
[18:12] <sj4m35-15> pull up a terminal and type lspci
[18:12] <sonne> NuuBuntu, with mkdir, but outside your home you will need to use sudo
[18:12] <sonne> NuuBuntu, so try this: mkdir /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/
[18:12] <sj4m35-15> look for the graphics card
[18:12] <sonne> erm
[18:12] <sonne> NuuBuntu, so try this: sudo mkdir /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/
[18:13] <sj4m35-15> Binky1:it all depends on your graphics card
[18:13] <kubanc> sonne, Rajasun, a already started the command sudo apt-get purge kdelibs5. i hope for the best
[18:13] <sponzor> is selinux in ubuntu by default or you have to install it?
[18:14] <NuuBuntu> thank you sonne!
[18:14] <lzrdking> how do i tell ubuntu to use intel video drivers?
[18:14] <sonne> kubanc, you can still scroll up the terminal and copy/pasta the names of the packages it's about to remove onto some text file, and then take a look at them afterwards
[18:14] <sj4m35-15> lzrdking:what chipset are you using?
[18:15] <sj4m35-15> lzrdking:imean drivers?
[18:15] <bluevapour> how do i get the output of run level 2
[18:15] <Oli``> How best can I work out what's using disk space on a remote system? Something like the Disk Usage Analyser but something that can be run over SSH
[18:15] <sj4m35-15> lzrdking:is it the deafault drivers?
[18:15] <llutz> Oli``: du
[18:16] <Rajasun> kubanc: you are likely still to be left with some stuff to do with kde or qt or both. Some aren't that obvious e.g. soprano daemon. You will have to have them purged too if a totally KDE/QT free system is what you want.
[18:16] <walkabouting> I need to install 2 instances of winXP on my ubuntu machine - how do I set up grub to do this?
[18:16] <sj4m35-15> walkabouting:why would you do that?
[18:16] <bluevapour> how do i get runlevel2 startup log
[18:17] <kubanc> Rajasun, my goal is to speed up somehow my computer, because it's old, like 8 years, and right now, kubuntu is working very slow. and right now my desktop enviroment is XFCE
[18:17] <wildc4rd> evenin' all
[18:17] <walkabouting> sj4m35-15: work
[18:17] <sj4m35-15> you mean one for work one for play?
[18:17] <saif_> how can make the channel number variable in the command {iwconfig channel (CH#)}??
[18:17] <sonne> kubanc, if you like extreme methods, you could try DSL
[18:18] <sonne> it's not as comfortable as Ubuntu, but can do its own business pretty good
[18:18] <sj4m35-15> walkabouting:could you just set up another profile in xp?
[18:18] <walkabouting> sj4m35-15: basically
[18:18] <rob_p> bluevapour: startup log is written to /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog.  If you want the kernel buffer then dmesg.
[18:18] <saif_> how can make the channel number variable in the command {iwconfig channel (CH#)}?
[18:18] <Rajasun> kubanc: uf that is what you want, do as you please. By the way, do you also happened to have mono apps isntalled? e.g. tomboy, f-spot, smuxi?
[18:18] <NuuBuntu> Ok, I'm a bit confused here. When I try to run the mkdir command it says the folder or file already exists. When I try to run this command it says no such file or directory. "cp -p /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2870sta.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates"
[18:18] <walkabouting> sj4m35-15: no, I need to periodically format windows - it gets bloated in ~3months. its more one for work, one for testing
[18:19] <lzrdking> sj4m35-15: its using the default drivers i believe, its a 945GM
[18:19] <bluevapour> stupid
[18:19] <sj4m35-15> walkabouting:so that when it boots it'll give you an option to either boot into work or play?
[18:19] <kubanc> sonne, is it hard to install DSL ?
[18:19] <lzrdking> hi Oli``
[18:19] <saif_> how can make the channel number variable in the command {iwconfig channel (CH#)}?
[18:19] <walkabouting> sj4m35-15: yes - stable xp, testing xp, or linux
[18:20] <sonne> kubanc, last time i did it it wasn't so hard
[18:20] <o_be_one> hi !
[18:20] <sj4m35-15> walkabouting: how about virtualbox?
[18:20] <grawity> saif_: In a script?
[18:20] <sonne> but i suggest you try it out on some virtual machine if you can, so you get the idea of it
[18:20] <saif_> aha
[18:20] <walkabouting> sj4m35-15: too slow
[18:20] <bluevapour> how do i get runlevel output
[18:20] <aleksandrit> sorry, how to configure the remote connection from ubuntu 9.10 to ubuntu 9.04?
[18:20] <sj4m35-15> walkabouting: what are your system specs?
[18:20] <walkabouting> sj4m35-15: it shouldnt be *that* hard - I could do it in grub, but grub2 is way too confusing
[18:20] <o_be_one> i havent sound in lmms (ubuntu 9.10 with latest lmms). I've sound in ubuntu but not in lmms. I've tryed to install jack but lmms doesnt want to use it (it selects automaticly "dummy") ... Any idea ? :)
[18:20] <sonne> kubanc, i think i installed that distro on a pentium 100 or the likes of it, some time ago
[18:20] <saif_> grawity : the channel number is an output of a file so it will be variable
[18:21] <sj4m35-15> walkabouting: try adding more ram.
[18:21] <grawity> saif_: in 'bash', the variables syntax is $foo -- such as iwconfig channel $channel
[18:21] <Rajasun> kubanc: afterwards, you can try running dpkg -l|grep kde as well as dpkg -l|grep qt to see if you have any left
[18:21] <Nosco> o_be_one, I love your english :D! Two frenchiiies on ubuntu O.O
[18:21] <rob_p> bluevapour: Type, "runlevel" and press enter!
[18:21] <spunk> hello, how "secure" is LUKS compared to TrueCrypt? Any opinions?
[18:21] <lzrdking> i have xserver-xorg-video-intel installed, but how can i verify it is being used and if its not, tell X to use it?
[18:21] <saif_> grawity :does this mean i can do this : export ch=awk '/Channel/ {print $1}' scan.txt
[18:22] <kubanc> Rajasun, i don't have isntalled tomoby, f-spot and smuxi command is unknown
[18:22] <o_be_one> Nosco, we do it how i we can :D
[18:22] <grawity> saif_: ch="$( awk '/Channel/ { print $1 }' scan.txt )"
[18:22] <o_be_one> (how i we can xD ah ah)
[18:22] <Rajasun> kubanc: good
[18:22] <trainer> I just upgraded to 9.10 and now my desktop is black with no icons. Help?
[18:22] <grawity> saif_: To get the command's output, wrap it in $( ). And it's best to put quotes around such things. And no need for 'export'.
[18:23] <Hiram> this morning i updated some 20 packages. everything worked fine before that, now i can't enable the desktop effects any more, like my video drivers just went kablooie.
[18:23] <sj4m35-15> trainer:what's your system specs?
[18:23] <Alan502> Hi :) i cannot correctly play flv on kubuntu amd64. I see the video but the sound is not correct. I have tried with both Dragon Player and Amarok's video clip player and i get the same results. Would you help me?
[18:23] <kubanc> Rajasun, i tried  dpkg -l|grep kde and  dpkg -l|grep qt and i have some stuff
[18:23] <saif_> grawity : so when echo $ch .....it will give the variable value ??
[18:23] <trism> walkabouting: they will likely be detected with the os prober if you run a sudo update-grub, but the problem is XP is going to wipe out grub, you should find most of the info you need here though  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[18:23] <grawity> saif_: yes.
[18:23] <walkabouting> trism:
[18:23] <saif_> grawity : thanx very much
[18:23] <Younder> Hiram, does gdm boot?
[18:23] <nperry> Alan502: Have tried VLC?
[18:23] <walkabouting> trism: thanls
[18:24] <lzrdking> sj4m35-15: do you know what i need to do to verify the intel drivers are in use and how to use them if they are not?
[18:24] <grawity> saif_: Now type 'man bash'
[18:24] <Alan502> nperry, nope but do you think the player might be the problem? should i install vlc or rather kaffeine as i am on kde?
[18:24] <Hiram> Younder: well, it does go into runlevel 5, if that's what you mean.
[18:24] <sponzor> is selinux in ubuntu by default or you have to install it?

[18:25] <sj4m35-15> lzrdking: pull up a terminal and type: "lspci -v | grep intel"
[18:25] <manjula> Hi ALl
[18:25] <nperry> Alan502: Pretty sure it might be a codec problem, VLC have all the codecs inbuilt
[18:25] <sj4m35-15> lzrdking: you should see drivers listed
[18:25] <Alan502> nperry, thanks :) i'll try it now
[18:25] <Younder> Hiram, That's not standard for ubuntu, check again (from a console type runlevel)
[18:25] <nperry> Alan502: When nothing else would run it, VLC has never failed me :)
[18:25] <sj4m35-15> VLC RULZ!!
[18:26] <lzrdking> sj4m35-15:  i see kernel driver in use and a few kernel modules, all which reference intel, so it is using them?
[18:26] <Younder> Hiram, not that it matters what runlevel it is. Upstart set's up the gdm
[18:26] <sj4m35-15> lzrdking: yes
[18:26] <Younder> Hiram, see /etc/init/gdm.conf
[18:26] <Rajasun> kubanc: as expected ;) Told you it ain;t so simple
[18:26] <trainer> sj4m35-15: 1680x1050 DVI
[18:27] <sj4m35-15> trainer: any more info?
[18:27] <lzrdking> so it would still use mesa even if its using the intel drivers?
[18:27] <atyson01> can anyone help me with ldap and tls?
[18:27] <sj4m35-15> trainer: mobo, video card..etc..
[18:28] <Younder> Hiram, to boot to text mode, at grup menu type e and on the command line add text
[18:28] <sj4m35-15> laterz ya'll gotta go!
[18:28] <Younder> Hiram, that is 'text'
[18:28] <Rajasun> kubanc: fo through each of the kde/qt packages left behind, use apt-cache depends packagename and apt-cache show packagename if you need to. Your call then if you want them purged as well.
[18:28] <Rajasun> go*
[18:29] <Hiram> that's another problem i've been having today. the networking sometimes just quits.
[18:29] <epinky> atyson01: better ask on #ubuntu-server
[18:29] <atyson01> epinky: Thanks trying to learn irc also been a long time
[18:34] <ty5479> Can anybody help me with setting grub back up after a windows install. I've tried looking it up online. But I am constantly getting an error stating that it can find a list of paritions when running grub-install.

[18:35] <pietj1> Hi all, I cannot connect with msn, using both amsn and Pidgin. What could cause this?

[18:36] <manjula1> Hi ALL. i have1st  installed ubuntu 9.04 (has ext4 ) and then i installed ubuntu 8.10 on my other patition. now i cant boot in to 9.04 and 8.10 is not able to mount the ext4. i really don't need to mount ext4 from 8.10 but all i want is to be able to boot in to 9.04 again. can someone help me ?

[18:38] <Hiram> this morning i updated some 20 packages. everything worked fine before that, now i can't enable the desktop effects any more, like my video drivers just went kablooie.
[18:38] <epinky> !ot | JinoFixx
[18:38] <manjula1> nperry: there is no error messages... only grub dont have the option to boot in to 9.04. i think it because i installed 8.10 later that grub is intalled from 8.10 and to reinstall the grub from 9.04 i cant get in to it
[18:39] <kubanc> Rajasun, is maybe there a possibility that i go into Synaptic package manager, i filter installed packages with "kde" word and then i delete all of this packages
[18:39] <pietj1> nperry: oh never mind, amsn works now, so ill just use that. Thanks for your time
[18:40] <Rajasun> kibanc: when it comes to package management, I trust only console tools...sorry :P
[18:40] <\\`00t> Hi - if anyone has ANY clue how to get audio+video (together) over an HDMI output, please let me know ... I'm getting video-only!!

[18:45] <Hiram> can anyone help me with desktop effects problems? they worked until i updated this morning. After i did that, I can't enable them.
[18:46] <ronin_> guys i have a samsung nc 10 and on bt4 but bright is too high
[18:47] <nperry> manjula1: Ah, that could be a problem - As it'd need to see it :s
[18:47] <ronin_> apologize for my english
[18:47] <manjula1> nperry: i update it and grub didnt see the ext4 partition
[18:48] <LjL> ronin_: this is the Ubuntu, not the BT, support channel. try #remote-exploit
[18:48] <tecurik> Hello, I edited /etc/apt/sources.list and tried to add gnome-do, but it failed, and then I removed the line. Now when I run "aptitude update", I get the following error: http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic/main Packages    404 not found. And I don't know what it should say in sources.list. Any way so reset maybe ?
[18:48] <nperry> !pastebin | manjula1  - '/boot/grub/menu.lst'
[18:48] <manjula1> nperry: my problem is i dont have the ubuntu 9.04 CD with me so i can reinstall the grub from that and i have some files i need to get in that ext4 partion fast
[18:48] <ronin_> yes ubuntu but bt4 is a ubuntu
[18:49] <LjL> ronin_: no, it's a derivative.
[18:49] <LjL> it's not supported here.
[18:49] <chris_> manjula1: there's a thread on ubuntu forums which mentions this. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1138516
[18:49] <Younder> Hiram, There is a seperate group #upstart which deals with the upstart manager, they helped me perhaps they can help you.

[19:15] <cusco> anthony__: what seems to be there? Im not understanding
[19:15] <djvinny> Who will prompt, Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 on Intel will rise?
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> strywgr: apt-get and synaptic etc hold ALL downloaded debs in /var/cache/apt/archives
[19:15] <anthony__> mdg: no cd drive on the machine, so no cds
[19:15] <cusco> anthony__: you should look up on how to set up ndiswrapper in google
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> strywgr: apt-get clean   cleans them out
[19:16] <mdg_> anthony__: oh netbook
[19:16] <anthony__> cusco: thanks, i'll try
[19:16] <strywgr> Action, is their any problem in removing them? My / partition is getting lesser everyday.
[19:16] <cusco> anthony__: on that forum there is a link to download them drivers
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> schmichael: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTqsSN1YiYI
[19:16] <erUSUL> djvinny: yes; amd64 is the name for 64 bits x96_64 architecture it will work in intel chips that support it (intel calls it emt64)
[19:16] <anthony__> cusco: i didn't see the link, and cant find drivers from dozens of google

[19:18] <erUSUL> djvinny: yes; 64 bits can use 4 GiB

[19:19] <cusco> brb

[19:19] <mdg_> anthony__: we need the exact adapter info - do an "lspci" without quotes in a terminal window and let us know what you have - its better to work from that info

[19:21] <mikebuntu> Well it kinda is... since I was thinking of changing my unbuntu netbook to use Google DNS and the question was raised from the Ubuntu wiki
[19:21] <mikebuntu> are we going to play that card?
[19:21] <dajhorn> mikebuntu: Some ISPs hijack DNS requests.  If you use the Google DNS, something called the "nxdomain" feature will work properly.

[19:25] <lasivian> i'm guessing to change from 32 bit to 64 bit is a complete wipe and reinstall?

[19:49] <laetzer> Hi all. I have an older 64bit AMD. I installed the 64bit DVD iso I downloaded. Did the install already pick the best kernel (or linux-headers?) based on my CPU, or is it advisable to compile a new one?

[19:50] <PetterDK> i cant log in to the graphical interface.

[19:53] <Onyx47> Ok guys, I got a big one if anyone has any ideas. My /home won't mount, the partition is not listed in /dev/disk/by-uuid (I thought my fstab maybe got corrupted), I can mount it manually but I have to specify the fs type (mount can't find it), did both fsck and e2fsck, didn't help
[19:53] <rampageoberon> ActionParsnip: okay will do
[19:53] <mdg_> anthony__: have you tried the serialmonkey website?
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> Onyx47: have you specified the fs in fstab?
[19:53] <detrix> Hello everyone.  I just purchased a logitec web cam with headset/mic   video no problems.  Microphone though. only sending static.  How do I track down the problem
[19:53] <anthony__> mdg: not yet. i will
[19:54] <Seveas> Onyx47, replace UUID=..... with /dev/yourdrive in /etc/fstab
[19:54] <dAlfa89_> Rajasun, but a lot of people aren't going to bother with registering their nick just to get a little help, they'll go elsewhere
[19:54] <Rajasun> dAlfa89_: give and take. pluses and minuses in all options
[19:55] <jp-enguin> lasivian, i like when i type 'ls' in a dos window. it means i am getting past my abusive childhood
[19:55] <dAlfa89_> Rajasun, I suppose, perhaps we could have two different channels?
[19:55] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, ahhh.. they are indeed above my routers IP address. So I can indeed still use another DNS even though I'm connecting to the internet through my router?
[19:55] <anthony__> mdg: wonder what i should search?
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: sue, the DNS is identified by an IP which is outside your subnet so the request will go out to the web
[19:56] <Rajasun> dAlfa89_: maybe we leave it to the council to decide
[19:56] <Onyx47> Seveas, I just did that, going to reboot to see if it helped
[19:56] <mdg_> anthony__: are you running 32 bit of 64 bit?
[19:56] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, I'm somewhat computer literate but don't have an understanding of exactly how DNS works, hence my confusion on my computer can use Goole's servers for DNS even though it's connected through my router which connects directly to my ISP
[19:56] <anthony__> mdg: 32
[19:56] <mdg_> anthony__: that makes it easier
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: once you resolve the name to the IP you can start a TCP connection to the actual server, if your system ALREADY knows the resolve it will not need the internet to resolve it and will be faste
[19:57] <Seveas> mikebuntu, dns is a phonebook. As long as you know where the phonebook is (so, the IP address of a DNS server), you can use it :)
[19:57] <mdg_> anthony__: can you plug ethernet into that laptop?
[19:57] <PetterDK> Elleen - I did: sudo apt-get remove gnome-power-manager.. that removed gnome-power-manager and ubuntu-desktop.. then i did sudo apt-get install gnome-power-manager && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop.. Is that right?
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: your ISP will provide a DNS but if you want to use different ones then thats you call
[19:57] <anthony__> mdg: unfortunately not!
[19:57] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, Seveas so I'll just take that as a "yes", I am using Google's DNS instead of my ISPs? :)
[19:58] <mdg_> anthony__: okay
[19:58] <Seveas> ActionParsnip, some ISP's block dns traffic from client to outside their network, so it's not always the client's call :)
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> Seveas: not seen that, good point
[19:58] <Seveas> mikebuntu, if your /etc/resolv.conf only has <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>: yes
[19:58] <mdg_> anthony__: had you tried installing any driver or ndiswrapper before now? and what steps did you take
[19:58] <E1leen> PetterDK: a bit heavy maybe but why not. Also test: dpkg-reconfigure packagename
[19:58] <CoverSlide> why is my wget running as a background process? and how come -O doesn't save it to the specified filename?
[19:58] <sponzor> is there any howto partition disks.. i have like 6 disks.. lvm etc...
[19:58] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, I am planning on doing the local DNS cache as you suggested as well, but just looking to find out if the DNS actually uses Googles since I'm behind a router
[19:58] <Seveas> CoverSlide, you probably had a & in the url and forgot to quote it
[19:59] <mikebuntu> Seveas, yes, it does... cool, thanks!
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: your system will try the list from top to bottom so if google times out or fails it will use the next server and so on
[19:59] <anthony__> mdg: i tried to run ndiswrapper, but it didn't run
[19:59] <CoverSlide> ah i see
[19:59] <Commie_Cary> Can I upgrade from a x84 installation to x64?
[19:59] <PetterDK> Elleen - you are probably right :) blunt methods.
[19:59] <Seveas> Commie_Cary, yes, by reinstalling.
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: you can test with: dig www.microsoft.com
[19:59] <E1leen> PetterDK, hehe, yeah.
[19:59] <anthony__> mdg: i think that i need some kind of driver downloaded before running it, right?
[19:59] <mdg_> anthony__: I think we need the net8192se driver
[19:59] <Commie_Cary> Seveas, and not losing all my programs...
[20:00] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, I think I understand... so when it displays my router IP address, it's just saying it's using my router for DNS which in turn will use my ISP for DNS?
[20:00] <mdg_> anthony__: are you on a windows machine right now?
[20:00] <Seveas> Commie_Cary, backup /etc and /home :)
[20:00] <anthony__> mdg: no, ubuntu 9.10
[20:00] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, that is if the first two (Google DNS) times out and it gets to the last option (My router ISP)?
[20:00] <NuuBuntu> how many items should I have in my /lib/modules folder? I'm trying to run a command from a guide and I don't know which one to use.
[20:00] <gratarian> Is there really a clear benefit to running 64-bit or is 32-bit still the best way to go?
[20:00] <Commie_Cary> Seveas, /home is on a seprate partition, im talking about my applications.
[20:00] <Seveas> mikebuntu, indeed
[20:00] <Onyx47> Seveas, thanks, that worked. Simplest solutions work best I guess :) I'm just wondering why it happened in the first place
[20:01] <Commie_Cary> Seveas, not my config files
[20:01] <Seveas> Commie_Cary, backup /etc and the output of dpkg --get-selections so you can easily reinstall all packages
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: you got it
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: here is my dig: http://pastebin.com/m4de572b0
[20:01] <cody> Hi, when I try to unlock a folder it unlocks, but when I access a file inside the folder it locks again
[20:01] <Commie_Cary> Seveas, not all my programs are in the ubuntu respitory
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: notice how the second dig takes 0ms
[20:01] <mdg_> anthony__: I'm looking for the link to net8172se driver....
[20:01] <anthony__> mdg: thanks.
[20:01] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, Seveas, ahhh... that's what confused me, it was dispalying DNS numbers, but then an IP number. Thanks guys! Now to try to local DNS cache you suggested... baby steps. :)

[20:04] <egtux> any idea to solve ??

[20:04] <cousin_mario> hello
[20:04] <NuuBuntu> seveas, ahah! thank you so much!
[20:04] <Beezie> Hi.  I bought 8Gb of RAM(upped from 4Gb) and my current Ubuntu install does see it.  I do intend to move to 64-bit Ubuntu soon.  Is it safe to let the current Ubuntu(32-bit) run with 8Gb of RAM or will it become unstable?
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> crohakon: run: gksudo nvidia-settings
[20:05] <Seveas> NuuBuntu, yes, that returns the current kernel version, and thus the dirname in /lib/modules where modules for it are :)
[20:05] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, will I need to update the DNS cache manually or anything if I follow that procedure?
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> crohakon: click "Write to X config file"
[20:05] <cousin_mario> when do you think thunderbird 3 will be integrated in karmic?
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: no, they will be added as time goes on, it learns
[20:05] <lesouvage> How do I determine what version of usb ports (version 1 or 2) I have available on my computer?
[20:05] <E1leen> PetterDK: something with the power "schema" is borked. Try "gconf-editor"
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> crohakon: then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edit the resolution in the screen section
[20:06] <E1leen> ActionParsnip: ok.
[20:06] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, great
[20:06] <cody> when i unlock a folder it won't stay unlocked
[20:06] <PetterDK> Elleen - If it helps, the last thing i changed before the problems was something in fstab
[20:06] <zopiac> when I start up my computer, my sound is always extremely low and muted. anyone know why?
[20:06] <Seveas> lesouvage, lsmod | grep hci
[20:06] <PetterDK> permissions as far as i remember
[20:06] <Seveas> lesouvage, if that lists ehci, you're using 2.0
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> crohakon: make sure you set a resolution rather than using auto
[20:07] <nperry> Beezie: Its fine.. 32bits just cant address that much ram!
[20:07] <E1leen> PetterDK: shouldnt matter
[20:07] <lesouvage> Seveas: and if it shows nothing I run 1.1?
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> nperry: with PAE, it can
[20:07] <PetterDK> Elleen - cant do that command.. says "cannot open display"
[20:07] <nperry> Indeed ActionParsnip, are the linux images now in repos though?
[20:08] <Beezie> nperry, who does free -m(in terminal) and system monitor "see" it.  is seeing the ram and the ability to address ram different? :P
[20:08] <Beezie> who= why
[20:08] <Seveas> lesouvage, err, looks like I was talking bollocks. Try lspci. It will list USB and USB2 controllers
[20:08] <anthony__> mdg: i really like using ubuntu, but this is a lot of trouble for a brand new computer.  what do you think?
[20:08] <nperry> Beezie: are you running live cd?
[20:08] <Seveas> 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 01) <-- example of a USB2 controller
[20:08] <Beezie> no, 9.10
[20:08] <E1leen> PetterDK: can you ssh in from another linux box and run that command ?
[20:09] <mdg_> anthony__: I'm going to the realtek site for a look around
[20:09] <crohakon> ActionParsnip, okay, change made, how do I test it?
[20:09] <nperry> Beezie: Odd, if it can be seen, it should be able to be used
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> crohakon: restart the x server
[20:09] <anthony__> mdg: i couldn't find the driver there, earlier, maybe you can. i hope
[20:09] <mbeierl> How does one get rid of ctrl-alt-del prompting for shutdown in gnome?
[20:09] <Beezie> nperry, for a test. i am running virtualbox and am assigning my vm's to 2Gb each... to see what happens.  so far system monitor detected the 1st vm at 2gb...6gb remaining.
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> nperry: looks like not, you can use the server kernel though its enabled by default
[20:09] <mdg_> anthony__: I like ubuntu to - it's a different road for sure - when they linux is not windows - its for sure a whole new world, but its doable.
[20:09] <nperry> !dontzap | mbeierl
[20:10] <PetterDK> hmm i only have a mac on the side.. would that do? it should be, as its build on a linux distro.
[20:10] <PetterDK> did i just answer my own question?
[20:10] <Beezie> nperry, if 32bit actually does address 8Gb i might hold off 64bit ubuntu til January :)
[20:10] <mbeierl> nperry: sorry - that's killing the X server, I'm asking how to turn off control-alt-delete bringing up the "do you want to log out" window
[20:10] <nperry> ActionParsnip: As i know it was a blueprint for livecd to have PAE enabled by default for karmic
[20:11] <crohakon> ActionParsnip, How? And will resetting the x server kill my current session in gnome?
[20:11] <anthony__> mdg: are we looking for a windows driver to use with ndiswrapper?
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> crohakon: yes so save your work etc
[20:11] <dAlfa89_> mbeierl, it's in System - Preferences - Keyboard Shortcuts
[20:11] <anthony__> mdg: i'm downloading an .exe now
[20:11] <nacitar> Any else noticed that on 64-bit karmic, if you open up a windows 7 64-bit VM (perhaps other vms, haven't tested) that the indicator applet's floating notifications stop appearing?  Close the VM, and it magically works again.
[20:11] <nperry> mbeierl: Sorry my bad, Keyboard shortcuts for that
[20:11] <lesouvage> Seveas: 00:03.3 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 2.0 Controller is the output but could this be an internal connection?
[20:11] <Beezie> ActionParsnip, so PAE is the reason I can see this amount of ram on a 32bit install?
[20:11] <nacitar> With virtualbox, anyway.
[20:12] <mbeierl> dAlfa89_, nperry: I see it - but how do I disable it?  It's wanting a new shortcut in its place
[20:12] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, the instructions for setting up local DNS cache is telling me to make sure I have "prepend domain name servers: <IP_ADDRESS>" but I'm supposed to have "prepend domain name servers: <IP_ADDRESS>" to use the Google DNS. What do I do?
[20:12] <Seveas> lesouvage, it's the controller chip, so your machine definitely supports usb 2.0
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> Beezie: 2^32 will only allow you to access so much ram due to limited address registers
[20:12] <nperry> mbeierl: double click
[20:12] <mdg_> anthony__: I think I found a windows driver - but its in a windows zip...
[20:12] <lesouvage> Seveas: there are 3 USB 1.1 lines
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: you dont need that step
[20:12] <lesouvage> Sevea
[20:12] <PetterDK> Elleen - what would the ssh hostname be?
[20:12] <dAlfa89_> mbeierl, press backspace to clear the shortcut
[20:12] <Beezie> ActionParsnip, thats how i thought i understoood it :)
[20:12] <anthony__> mdg: i have the same downloaded.   what can we do with that?
[20:12] <lesouvage> Seveas: thanks for the help.
[20:12] <nperry> mbeierl: Sorry, mouse click then backspace to disable
[20:12] <mbeierl> nperry: asks for new shortcut/toggles to existing one.  dAlfa89_: just read that - I'm a moron
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: install dnsmasq, change the listening line, restart the dnsmasq service then add <IP_ADDRESS> as the first DNS server
[20:12] <mbeierl> nperry: dAlfa89_: thanks!
[20:13] <mdg_> I'm downloading now and seeing just what happens
[20:13] <zopiac> when I start up my computer, my sound is always extremely low and muted. anyone know why?
[20:13] <mdg_> anthony__: 32 minutes to download? did it take you that long?
[20:14] <anthony__> mdg: no just a couple of seconds
[20:14] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, I've install dnsmasq... changed the listening line... the last change you are referring to, is that made in my resolv.conf file?
[20:14] <anthony__> mdg: toshiba europe website
[20:14] <mdg_> did you get RTL8192se (xp/vista version?)
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: yes, when you add te line you can test with: dig www.google.com; dig www.google.com     look at the query time lines ;)
[20:15] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, ahhh, think it's all starting to make sense, let me give it a go
[20:15] <anthony__> mdg: got the windows 7 version (running dual boot with windows 7)
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: make sure you add it to the TOP
[20:15] <anthony__> mdg: which one do you think might work?
[20:15] <mdg_> anthony__: you need the windows XP version or RTL8192SE
[20:15] <mistahjc> hey how do you install java on ubuntu
[20:16] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, gotcha... about to save it now. Is there an easy way to restart things or should I just restart my computer?
[20:16] <erUSUL> !java | mistahjc
[20:16] <anthony__> mdg: downloading now.  what should we do after that?
[20:16] <mistahjc> ok
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: this is Linux, not windows. restarts are rare ;)
[20:16] <mdg_> anthony__: can you boot up win 7 and go here to get the zip - all we need when its unzipped is the *.inf file to copy into mint  http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdID=230&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true
[20:16] <Younder> mistahjc, i's already installed
[20:16] <lesouvage> Seveas: how do I found out what usb conection is 1.1 and what connection is 2.0? Is there an easy way?
[20:17] <mistahjc> i think its installed but what should i do next
[20:17] <anthony__> mdg: give me a minute
[20:17] <mistahjc> yeah i just installed it
[20:17] <mdg_> anthony__: okay
[20:17] <Seveas> lesouvage, plug a device in and check lsusb / lshal output
[20:17] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, ya ya I know... just don't know the commands to restart all these things. :)
[20:17] <Teleken> can anyone in here help me with rebuilding an LVM config so I can get my system to boot again? :)
[20:17] <Younder> mistahjc, You wnat eclipe, go to the end of the progam menu and select programming center. The select eclipe from that.
[20:18] <Younder> eclipse
[20:18] <mistahjc> eclipe from program center
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: are the digs taking 0ms ?
[20:18] <jiffe98> if I have a file of type 'x86 boot sector', how do I make an iso of that?
[20:18] <mistahjc> ubuntu softwere center
[20:19] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, just to make sure, I have two lines at the top of my resolve.conf file 1) Domain. sc.rr.com 2)Search sc.rr.com... then the nameserver lines. Do I put the <IP_ADDRESS> at the VERY top or just as the first nameserver
[20:19] <Teleken> specifically how do I get rid of an "unknown device" in a volume group?
[20:19] <Younder> mistahjc, sorry I am Norwegian, so I have to translate menu items as I go
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: at the very top of the file so that it IS the first nameserver
[20:19] <mistahjc> o ok
[20:19] <mistahjc> im scandavian
[20:20] <anthony__> mdg: this one tells me 20 mins. thanks for all your help,
[20:20] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, gonna give it a shot
[20:20] <anthony__> mdg: when i get the .inf file, where do i copy it in mint? what else will i do?
[20:20] <mdg_> anthony__: mine finally downloaded in mint, but I could nothing with it
[20:20] <Teleken> anyone?  I have a physical volume "unknown device" that I need to remove from a volume group, but because it's "unknown device" I can't find an LVM command that allows me to remove it.
[20:21] <erUSUL> !mint | anthony__
[20:21] <mdg_> anthony__: you also need to get ndiswrapper and ndisgtk instaslled before we get to that step
[20:21] <mistahjc> its going
[20:22] <biabia> anyone use open office
[20:22] <anli_> Is there a way to configure ubuntu to always show files and directories as "compact"?
[20:22] <biabia> wondering if the most recent version saves and opens .docx
[20:22] <talkhouli> hello guys, I am having a problem with the sound server, suddenly I lost sound and I don't want to reboot to get it back. Is there a way to restart the sound server?
[20:22] <anthony__> mdg: thanks again. sorry to chud things up. i could try straight ubuntu, would i not have the same problem?
[20:22] <mdg_> anthony__: I found a post about installing ndiswrapper without internet...
[20:23] <erUSUL> talkhouli: start-pulseaudio-x11
[20:23] <mdg_> anthony__: you would have the exact same problem
[20:24] <mdg_> anthony__: we are getting there
[20:24] <Seveas> Teleken, can you pastebin the output of pvdisplay
[20:24] <zopiac> when I start up my computer, my sound is always extremely low and muted. anyone know why?
[20:24] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, 1 msec
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: then dig it again
[20:24] <talkhouli> erUSUL, command not found
[20:24] <anthony__> mdg: i was just told that support can;t be provided for mint..... but you've been very supportive, and please hang in there with me
[20:24] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, my computer is a dinosaur (1 msec)
[20:24] <LinuksGR> :)
[20:24] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, actually it was 46 first, then 1 sec
[20:25] <LinuksGR> #..
[20:25] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, several times all say 1msec... that's good though right? Don't know what I was getting before the change, can't get much better though right?
[20:25] <CarlFK> where is the mysql admin user/pw stored?  there is a file somewhere
[20:25] <xopah> hello guys, who should I talk to about a strange WLAN card connetion issue?
[20:25] <mdg_> anthony__: once you have downloaded and unzipped the windows driver and copy the *.inf (not sure what the name will be - look in a directory called "drivers" and there should be three files - you want the *.inf file.  Then reboot into your installed Mint so we can grab ndiswrapper and ndisgtk from the live USB (unless you are using it for the windows driver).
[20:26] <scottandmonique> anyone using Media Tomb cant see from xbox360 but ok from PC
[20:26] <Teleken> Seveas: can't get to the machine to get a copy, but what happened is I accidentally toasted an empty drive that was a part of the LV group while trying to do a badblocks scan - so because it can't find it it won't load ANY part of the volume group at all.  So pvdisplay is showing "can't find device with uuid" then "can't find all physical volumes for Volume group"
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: saved time :) a LOT of data online is DNS stuff, if we can reduce it the web will be faster
[20:26] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, does it take awhile for the DNS cache to build up?  I only have 1GB (running ubuntu netbook) on a netbook
[20:26] <Teleken> Seveas: so what I need to do is remove the record of that drive from being a part of the volume group
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: not sure but i havent noticed any issues on my desktop after 2 weeks uptime
[20:27] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, I use Mac for my work work, use my ubuntu netbook for casual surfing, etc.
[20:27] <Teleken> Seveas: and because I toasted the data on the drive it can't find any information to know how to remove it from the LVG
[20:27] <anthony__> mdg:  wait. should i boot into the installed mint, or from the usb after getting the windows file?
[20:28] <Seveas> Teleken, pvremove?
[20:28] <scottandmonique> media tomb user help required
[20:28] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, guess I'll find out! I really appreciate the help big time. You've been one of the most useful guys I've come across on IRC
[20:28] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, or "helpful" would be the more appropraite terms I suppose. :)
[20:28] <mdg_> anthony__: I hope I didn't just confuse you - boot installed mint (not from the live USB), but will need the live USB after you boot.
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: glad to help. Thanks :D
[20:28] <LinuksGR> pizza rlz world !
[20:28] <LinuksGR> =)
[20:29] <anthony__> mdg: got it.  we have another 12 mins or so
[20:29] <mistergibson> is there a channel for networking issues alone?
[20:29] <mdg_> anthony__: okay
[20:29] <Teleken> Seveas: pvremove won't work because it can't find any data on the partition of the disk that it's expecting.
[20:29] <xopah> Could someone please point me in a direction where someone could help me with a WLAN and a multiple SSID Network Issue?
[20:29] <Teleken> it was /dev/md0 - pvremove /dev/md0 just complains that it can't find any data.
[20:29] <Younder> mistergibson, try #upstart
[20:29] <mistergibson> thanks
[20:29] <Teleken> if I could remove by UUID that may work, but none of the commands seem to accept it?
[20:30] <froobloops_> how do i get grub off of a netbook w/ no optical drive
[20:30] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, does this mean (just out of curiousity) that my ISP cannot see anything I'm doing from this computer? Just Google can?
[20:30] <Seveas> Teleken, pvremove -f? vgreduce?
[20:30] <xopah> :join #network
[20:31] <Bsims>  I can't record any audio but the speakers work any ideas, I've fiddled with all teh settings I just get a hiss
[20:31] <mdg_> anthony__: I think the trick will be getting mint to see the live USB as a source in Synaptic...
[20:31] <Bsims>  I even tried another audio port
[20:31] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, or is that completely different... as in I would still have to surf from a proxy server?
[20:31] <froobloops_> can't get ubuntu on my netbook sad face
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> mikebuntu: all your traffic will hit them. You just arent using them to change names into IP addresses
[20:32] <Guest42702> have a CD/DVD Creator or Brasero ... i can't copy a freaking DVD due to copy protection .. is there a FREE program out there for Ubunto .. like Decryptor for Windows?
[20:32] <ueu001> What does it mean to triage bugs ?
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> !illegal | Guest42702
[20:32] <mikebuntu> ActionParsnip, ahhh, that's right.. DNS is just resolving the names - networking 101 (that was almost 10 years ago) :)
[20:32] <mdg_> anthony__: actually, I think we can use your ubuntu computer to generate a script to download to a USB and then transfers..
[20:33] <anthony__> mdg: cool
[20:33] <Guest42702> ubottu ..yes sir, Mr. Bot!
[20:33] <mistergibson> #upstart not exactly it
[20:33] <Younder> ueu001, you have bugs that will hopefully dissapear in the final version
[20:33] <Seveas> Teleken, vgreduce --remove-missing sounds like something that may work?
[20:33] <Teleken> pvremove wouldn't work because it can't find the physical volume descriptor, vgreduce wouldn't work because it seems to only work on consistent volumes, but vgreduce --removemissing may have fixed it
[20:33] <froobloops_> stupid grub
[20:33] <ueu001> Younder: Does it mean that the bugs are being worked on ?
[20:33] <mdg_> anthony__: I'll research those steps while we wait for the download to complete and you unzip the file etc.
[20:34] <mistergibson> ok, anyone have experience with the various vpn server packages and want to make a recommendation - not a how-to question, more like a what's-best question
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> !vpn | mistergibson
[20:34] <iceroot> mistergibson: vpnclient (cisco)
[20:34] <Teleken> Seveas: yes, thank you, vgreduce --removemissing fixed it.  So let me get this straight.  If you toast the boot sector (or bad blocks occur) on a drive that is a part of an LVG, the ENTIRE LVG will not mount which can cause your system to not boot??
[20:34] <guntbert> ueu001: triage is part of the handling process, like confirmation, ...., assignment
[20:34] <mistergibson> not using cisco, but thanks
[20:35] <daniel11> is it possible to play modern warfare 2 on ubuntu 9.10 without any major problems?
[20:35] <Younder> I am having trouble installing pygdk
[20:35] <xopah> Someone please help me with a strange Wlan problem!
[20:35] <mistergibson> ... and server, not client
[20:35] <needhelp1> i have a question, when i charge my laptop batter and when its done, i unplug it and it always says "Battery Discharging" ... what does this mean?
[20:35] <ueu001> Okay Thanks
[20:35] <spilakviktor> I have got a little problem
[20:35] <spilakviktor> because my icons move in my taskbar
[20:35] <daniel11> Please tell me
[20:36] <JoeSomebody> Any programs like speedfan for ubuntu?
[20:36] <spilakviktor> It is a very bad thing.
[20:36] <Seveas> Teleken, I'm too much of an lvm noob to be able to answer that :)
[20:36] <dAlfa89_> needhelp1, Means that the battery is going down, because it's in use
[20:36] <xopah> How do I get help here? - Please help me.
[20:36] <jrib> xopah: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[20:36] <needhelp1> dAlfa89_: so thats normal?
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> xopah: no one can help you as you havent explained your issue
[20:36] <spilakviktor> so that is normal?
[20:36] <dAlfa89_> needhelp1, of course, nothing to worry about
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> xopah: just ask, don't ask to ask, its silly
[20:36] <guntbert> needhelp1: if you use the computer without AC charger the power comes from the battery and hence it gets discharged
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> spilakviktor: do you lock them?
[20:37] <spilakviktor> yes
[20:37] <daniel11> is it possible to play modern warfare 2 on ubuntu 9.10 without any major problems?
[20:37] <spilakviktor> ActionParsnip, of course
[20:37] <skyl> I have FF and epiphany browser... what's another browser (graphical with JS) that I can install with the package manager?
[20:37] <needhelp1> is there anything i should install to help protect my battery from overcharging or anything? for ubuntu
[20:37] <needhelp1> or out of the box ubuntu should work?
[20:37] <spilakviktor> ActionParsnip, but if I have my screen rotate, because I have tablet pc
[20:37] <scottandmonique> daniel you willfind it hard to play properly at all even
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> daniel11: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=18348
[20:37] <JoeSomebody> Any programs like speedfan for ubuntu? or mobo temperature monitor even?
[20:37] <skyl> needhelp1, I've had good luck with that
[20:37] <jrib> needhelp1: should be fine
[20:37] <Seveas> JoeSomebody, lm_sensors, gkrellm
[20:38] <spilakviktor> ActionParsnip, so I don't realy understand this
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> skyl: chromium if you add the PPA, Arora is good too
[20:38] <JoeSomebody> Seveas, thx
[20:38] <xopah> jrib actionparsnip: Thanks. I can connect to WLAN I can search for WLAN and I use a WLAN right now. Though I can not connect to my own WLAN where it is setup with multiple SSIDs (one unencrypted, one WPA encryption) my Hardware is a HP mini 5101 with a broadcom chip.
[20:38] <daniel11> that is very bad... thanks for answears.
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> skyl: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa
[20:39] <needhelp1> so what would you recomend i install?
[20:39] <mneptok> skyl: midori
[20:39] <daniel11> Hmmm...
[20:39] <hippo> yamon
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> spilakviktor: unless the table is square, if you set the icons for a rectangular screen it will move the icon
[20:39] <Bubba_> Hey!
[20:39] <mistahjc> ok its done j=know what do i do
[20:40] <Bubba_> says I have 15 security upgrades, but It fails when I run "apt-get upgrade" ?? what to do?
[20:40] <sixtila> i installed a 32 bit ubuntu - however i feel i have a 64 bit computer - is it possible to check??
[20:40] <mistahjc> i have eclipse know how do i install java and yes i have sunjava
[20:40] <spilakviktor> ActionParsnip, but my icons are admited
[20:40] <hippo> holycow
[20:40] <qubozik> bubba: what error do you recieve exactly?
[20:40] <guntbert> Bubba_: begin with sudo apt-get update - the sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:40] <guntbert> *then
[20:41] <daniel11> how can i check what video card i use?
[20:41] <xopah> any clues?
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> Bubba_: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade    use: http://pastebin.com to give the output
[20:41] <spilakviktor> ActionParsnip, they don't keep my order
[20:42] <daniel11> hm??
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> spilakviktor: thats all i can advise. I dont use "icons" so much
[20:42] <mdg_> anthony__: how you coming?
[20:42] <mistahjc> how do install java on my ubuntu 9.10
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> !java | mistahjc
[20:42] <anthony__> mdg: thanks. still 5 minutes. sorry
[20:42] <mistahjc> i did that
[20:43] <mistahjc> i have sunjava and eclipse what do i do next
[20:43] <mdg_> anthony__: not a problem - I got the steps for generating a script - I had it backwards - we start from the installed mint to generate the script
[20:43] <spilakviktor> ActionParsnip, ok! It's a solution, but I use tomboy, information area and a callendar
[20:43] <Seveas> mistahjc, learn C++? :)
[20:43] <Bubba_> guntbert:, yes I ran update first, and got:  http://pastebin.com/m177e3438 on "upgrade"
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> daniel11: sudo lshw -C display
[20:43] <Stereocaulon> How do I install the 32bits(!) libstdc++ library on a 64-bits ubuntu karmic?
[20:44] <[[[-ArGuZ-]]]> HOLA
[20:44] <[[[-ArGuZ-]]]> hi
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> Stereocaulon: you can download the deb, extract it with: dpkg -x file.deb   then copy the file to /usr/lib32
[20:44] <mdg_> anthony__: we won't need the live USB after all
[20:44] <spilakviktor> ActionParsnip, so I don't really understand why move my icons because when I used windows it wasen't problem
[20:44] <qubozik> Stereocaulon: libstdc++-compat ?
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> Stereocaulon: you may find it is installed if you install ia32-libs
[20:44] <anthony__> mdg: cool.
[20:44] <skyl> hey, thanks ActionParsnip , chromium looks pretty awesome
[20:44] <mistahjc> seveas what is the next step
[20:45] <xopah> My issue is where I can not connect to a Wlan where it has Multiple SSIDs I can connect to WLAN. I can search for WLAN and I use a WLAN right now. Though I can not connect to my own WLAN where it is setup with multiple SSIDs (one unencrypted mac blocked, one WPA encrypted) my Hardware is a HP mini 5101 with a broadcom chip. any clues how to solve this problem?
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> spilakviktor: what windows does or doesnt do is moot
[20:45] <Seveas> mistahjc, profit?
[20:45] <mistahjc> profit what
[20:45] <Stereocaulon> ActionParsnip, I have installed ia32-libs, but cannot find the libstdc++.so.5 anywhere
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> skyl: it is, uses a hell of a lot less ram than firefox too
[20:45] <Stereocaulon> ActionParsnip, the 32 bits version that is...
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> Stereocaulon: then grab the 32bit deb and away you go
[20:45] <spilakviktor> windows 7
[20:45] <mdg_> anthony__: once we have installed ndiswrapper and ndisgtk - we can use mints wifi GUI to install the *.inf file
[20:45] <spilakviktor> ActionParsnip, windows 7
[20:45] <spilakviktor> ActionParsnip, but I hate windows
[20:45] <skyl> woot!  pretty fast (though I can't live w/o firebug, etc)
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> spilakviktor: doesnt make any difference at all
[20:46] <mistahjc> what should i do next
[20:46] <Stereocaulon> ActionParsnip, pardon for the intrusion, but where could I find the deb for that?
[20:46] <crohakon> What benefit is there in upgrading to 9.10 from 9.04?
[20:46] <spilakviktor> ActionParsnip, because it is very slowly and I have got lot of problem
[20:46] <guntbert> Bubba_: did you run something like a "partial upgrade" or so?

[20:46] <spilakviktor> ActionParsnip, so I decided I would use ubuntu
[20:46] <BlueG> I have been experiencing random freezes. Usually, the cursor still moves, but nothing else works. I can't swap to a virtual terminal, numlock won't work, and I can't ssh in or even get an answer to ping. Suspecting problems with my i845 graphics chipset, I tried disabling DRI, using XAA instead of EXA, and turning on NoAccel, but none of that worked. Any suggestions?
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> spilakviktor: thats fine
[20:46] <Bubba_> just "sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade"
[20:46] <mistergibson> anyone know the diff between strongswan and openswan ipsec stuff?

Though I can not connect to my own WLAN where it is setup with multiple SSIDs (one unencrypted mac blocked, one WPA encrypted) my Hardware is a HP mini 5101 with a broadcom chip. any clues how to solve this problem?

[20:52] <mdg_> anthony__: I mean helping people troubleshoot wifi :)
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> Bubba_: that means the packages are there but the deps they need are not created yet so they get held back. When the deps can be met, they will be installed
[20:52] <xopah> mdg_ could you please help me.. im having problems with my wifi..
[20:52] <Bubba_> ActionParsnip: and that is automatic? nothing to do right now?
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> Bubba_: it will install when its all ready automatically for you

[20:55] <iceroot> !ask | shinran666
[20:55] <mdg_> anthony__: could be something like rlt8192SE.inf or something
[20:55] <BlueG> Is there any easy way to identify the beginning of the most recent bootup in /var/log/messages so that I can tell by what is immediately before it what led up to the system crashing?
[20:55] <anthony__> mdg: not seeing .inf   could it be .sys?
[20:55] <MishaPFC> sorry..i deleted my network adapter and i cant install it again..i am new in linux...how i can do it?
[20:55] <shinran666> well i am trying to download and install fedora 12 on a separate system and i cant seem to do it right
[20:55] <shinran666> what do i do
[20:55] <mdg_> xopah: which version of ubuntu and has it connected before?
[20:55] <amites> Any ideas why this bash alias would come up "command not found"?? I've run source ~/.bashrc several times, and can copy and paste the command into a prompt and have it run
[20:55] <amites> uptimeshare='sh /home/alvin/workspace/timeshare-update.sh'
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> shinran666: fedora isnt supported here
[20:56] <amites> oops - meant to get that in 1 line
[20:56] <jrib> amites: did you write "alias" anywhere?
[20:56] <c0rwin_> Is there exist IRC channel for eeepc users of Ubuntu?
[20:56] <amites> jrib: ROFL!!!! nope
[20:56] <mdg_> anthony__: its the .inf one - there are usually three files  - one is .sys and one is .c? and then there is .inf
[20:56] <amites> jrib: thank you
[20:56] <jrib> amites: no problem
[20:57] <amites> jrib: think I'll be chuckling about that one for a while, spent a few days loking at it on and off
[20:57] <jiffe98> if I have a file of type 'x86 boot sector', is there a way to convert that to an iso?
[20:57] <Younder> am having problems installling pygtk
[20:57] <anthony__> mdg: there are three files in xp drivers:"security catalog"/ "setup information"-probably the one, and ""miniport driver"
[20:57] <mistahjc> i need help installing java to i installed all of the sunjava things and eclipse what do i do next to get my java working the site im testing it at is called runescape and it says i dont have java yet
[20:57] <jrib> !java > mistahjc
[20:57] <xopah> mdg_ Im logging in from my workstation for experimenting later on... - 9.10 proprietary driver installed - It has worked but not stable. It works now also sometimes but very unstable.
[20:57] <Younder> ubuntu karmic
[20:57] <crohakon> What benefit is there in upgrading to 9.10 from 9.04?
[20:57] <iceroot> mistahjc: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
[20:58] <lachouffe> Hi, I encounter issue playing divx on VLC: blue and pink color
[20:58] <jrib> mistahjc: install sun-java6-plugin or whatever package ubottu tells you for the plugin
[20:58] <Younder> from earleier gentoo
[20:58] <duncan_> hey guys, I've un-installed network-manager-gnome from my main system and can't work out how to network ready again. How do I do it?
[20:58] <lachouffe> is it a known issue ?
[20:58] <mdg_> anthony__: "security catalog?"
[20:58] <mistahjc> i did that allready
[20:58] <jrib> Younder: what problem exactly? pastebni
[20:58] <mdg_> anthony__: no directories that say "drivers"
[20:58] <anthony__> mdg: yeah
[20:58] <mistahjc> i have the latest verson it says
[20:58] <jrib> !who | mistahjc
[20:58] <anthony__> mdg: the directories say 91-92 drivers and contain those three files
[20:58] <StaticPhilly> evening all, can anyone tell me, with apt pinning, the priority setting, is it better to have this as low as i can or as high as i can for a package i really dont want to update
[20:59] <anders233> Hi
[20:59] <mdg_> anthony__: let me see if I can undelete the zip and check on my windows machine
[20:59] <mistahjc> the terminal
[20:59] <mistahjc> says it
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> duncan_: what sort of connection do you use?
[20:59] <anthony__> mdg: sorry,
[20:59] <anders233> can i play modern warfare 2 with a VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce 9600M GT]  video card?
[20:59] <peloverde> I grabbed xz-utils from debian unstable to do a simple backport to karmic in my ppa and launchpad is freaking out that there are two tar files.
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> !ot | anders233:
[20:59] <jrib> mistahjc: no one can help you if you do not address the person whose directions you are following and replying to (we have no idea who you are talking to)
[21:00] <anders233> k
[21:00] <xopah_> mdg_ back so I could better try new settings.
[21:00] <duncan_> ActionParsnip, both wired and wireless
[21:00] <mistahjc> th terminal said i have the latest verson of it
[21:00] <mistahjc> the
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> duncan_: run: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces and configure the wired LAN there
[21:00] <jrib> mistahjc: stop repeating what you already said.  Who are you talking to
[21:00] <mistahjc> you
[21:00] <mistahjc> jrib
[21:00] <jrib> mistahjc: if you want to talk to me, then put "jrib" in the front
[21:00] <duncan_> ActionParsnip, what are the chances that I'll be able to do that manually?
[21:01] <iceroot> !who | mistahjc
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> duncan_: here is an example from my wired subnet: http://pastebin.com/f409e153b
[21:01] <jrib> mistahjc: pastebin the command you ran and the output
[21:01] <mistahjc> jrib ok
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> duncan_: 100%
[21:01] <andruk> how do i change my cursor?  im in gnome, and i just installed KDE, (even though im currently not using it) and now i cant change my cursor away from the stupid KDE cursor.
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> duncan_: you need to set an IP which is suitable for YOUR subnet, thats just mine
[21:01] <mistahjc> i dont have it anymore
[21:01] <jrib> mistahjc: then run it again
[21:01] <mistahjc> jrib w8 yes i do its
[21:01] <aaaaa> hi!
[21:02] <mistahjc> jribsudo  apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

[21:02] <FloodBot1> mistahjc: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:02] <mistahjc> sun-java6-jdk is already the newest version.
[21:02] <Blaccent> hey
[21:02] <jrib> mistahjc: use a pastebin like paste.ubuntu.com in the future please.  That's not what I told you to install.  I asked you to install "sun-java6-plugin"
[21:02] <duncan_> ActionParsnip, just a moment
[21:02] <mistahjc> my bad
[21:02] <Beezie> Hi.  I know what my video card is(sudo lshw -C video) but how to tell how much RAM is on the video card?
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> duncan_: once you get connected using that method, you can use the repos to reinstall whichever network management app you desire, you can then remove the text and reboot
[21:02] <anthony__> mdg: searched all the files, no .inf that i can find, what about you?
[21:03] <mistahjc> jrib so what do i type in the terminal
[21:03] <BluesKaj> andruk, open kde and system settings/keyboard and mouse/mouse/cursor themes
[21:03] <mistahjc> jrib im sorry btw
[21:03] <jrib> mistahjc: install the sun-java6-plugin package, use whatever method you want
[21:03] <darrenlooby> Hi everyone
[21:03] <jrib> !software > mistahjc
[21:03] <Hekos> hey, im trying to change /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/panel to awn but it gets changed back on reboot .. what can i do ?
[21:03] <mdg_> anthony__: LOL - still trying to redownload
[21:03] <darrenlooby> Does anyone know, if you can mount all USB drives that are currently connected? CLI style
[21:04] <anthony__> mdg: so sorry.
[21:04] <jrib> darrenlooby: sure, but why?
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> Beezie: nvidia-settings   will tell you
[21:04] <barnes> Whats the best way to back up a Ubuntu system so I can format my hdd and reinstall it?
[21:04] <jrib> !backup | barnes
[21:04] <xopah_> mdg_ : any clues ?
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> !best | barnes
[21:04] <jrib> !cloning | barnes
[21:04] <ZykoticK9> Beezie, if it's an Nvidia card, use nvidia-settings will tell you how much RAM it has (i have no idea how to get this info if it isn't nvidia)
[21:04] <mdg_> anthony__: 16.4 mb?
[21:04] <andruk> BluesKaj: do you know what command i can use to bring up that window...im doing a bunch of stuff in gnome at the moment, and id really rather not logout and login to kde just to change the stupid cursor
[21:04] <bonez2046> I notice version 10.x.x is out.. should I upgrade? any risks or is it pretty stable?
[21:04] <ManDay> Is there a way to restart X without logging out?
[21:04] <Blaccent> Anyone able to help with HD video lag?
[21:04] <Beezie> ZykoticK9, its a geforce 7950 :)
[21:04] <jrib> bonez2046: there's no such version as 10.x.x and it's not out
[21:04] <nyc-h0st_> ok weird...ever since upgrading to karmic it wont resolve domains like 'mydomain.local' any ideas? its pointed at the correct dns server and it does resolutions through nslookup but not otherwise
[21:05] <mdg_> xopah_: you are using ssh?
[21:05] <anthony__> mdg: yeah
[21:05] <darrenlooby> jrib, I have a computer set up that I connect to every now and then - and, it has a USB drive that doesn't mount when I WOL.
[21:05] <duncan_> ActionParsnip, so if I use the IP address that I can see now, with the same final number group as in your example - should that work?
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> bonez2046: 10.x.x of what?
[21:05] <ZykoticK9> Beezie, nvidia-settings then select GPU on left side
[21:05] <mdg_> anthony__: I found it - downloading now. :)
[21:05] <bonez2046> ubuntu? what else?
[21:05] <bonez2046> Ubuntu!
[21:05] <jrib> darrenlooby: you just use mount as usual: sudo mount <block device> <mount point>
[21:05] <Beezie> ZykoticK9, excellent!  that worked.. I wanna sell it second hand and buy a modern nvidia card. :)
[21:05] <xopah_> mdg_: for you to connect to? - For what?
[21:05] <crohakon> What benefit is there in upgrading to 9.10 from 9.04?
[21:05] <BluesKaj> andruk, dunno , ai haven't used gnome in a while
[21:06] <bonez2046> 10.04
[21:06] <jrib> crohakon: newer software
[21:06] <ManDay> !ubuntu
[21:06] <mdg_> xopah_: oh, you said virtual machine right?
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> duncan_: whatever network address you use, change my example to suit yours. So if you use 192.168.100.x instead of 192.168.0.x then you need to change the addresses in the file to suit
[21:06] <jrib> !notes | crohakon
[21:06] <darrenlooby> jrib, I also sometimes plug a random USB mem stick in - so, I'd like to be able to just blanket tell it to mount any USB drive that is connected.
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> duncan_: most home grade routers use 192.168.0.x but its not ALWAYS the case
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> !10.04 | bonez2046
[21:06] <crohakon> jrib, what are the chances of something going wrong and me losing everything?
[21:06] <andruk> BluesKaj: thats not what i meant.  what is the terminal command for bringing up the system settings in kde?
[21:06] <bonez2046> ActionParsnip: I just ran 'update-manager -d' on my other machine and it's now upgrading to 10.04.. just asking who else has upgraded and how it went?
[21:06] <jrib> crohakon: unlikely but nonzero so have backups
[21:06] <Seveas> ActionParsnip, the only proper local subnet is <IP_ADDRESS>/16 :)
[21:07] <duncan_> ActionParsnip, okay, we understand each other now. Great, see you soon one way or the other...
[21:07] <mistahjc> jrib i have it
[21:07] <jrib> crohakon: erm, non-one I guess :)
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> Seveas: any class C network will do ;)
[21:07] <mistahjc> java 6
[21:07] <jrib> mistahjc: I didn't say "java 6"
[21:07] <mistahjc> jrib sun-java6-plugin package
[21:07] <Seveas> ActionParsnip, tss, networks without the answer do not count :P
[21:07] <mdg_> anthony__: while we are waiting for my download, we can generate the download script for synaptic
[21:07] <jrib> bonez2046: 10.04 is not released.  It's under development
[21:07] <jrib> mistahjc: restart firefox
[21:08] <mdg_> anthony__: go to your mint maching and start up Synaptic
[21:08] <anthony__> mdg: i will boot now
[21:08] <mistahjc> jrib ok brb
[21:08] <mdg_> anthony__: okay
[21:08] <darrenlooby> jrib, I also sometimes plug a random USB mem stick in - so, I'd like to be able to just blanket tell it to mount any USB drive that is connected.
[21:09] <bonez2046> jrib:  so when i run update-manager -d and it say Ubuntu new release 10.04 is available, I should disregard and not upgrade?
[21:09] <mistahjc> jrib thank you so much man ure the best
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> bonez2046: -d means development
[21:09] <bonez2046> or oh.. thanks ActionParsnip
[21:09] <jrib> bonez2046: you should know what commands you run :)
[21:10] <Spec> does ubuntu use a password (by default) for securing single user mode (recovery mode)
[21:10] <bonez2046> jrib: I just know enough to be dangerous.. yes, I need to better know what commands I run
[21:10] <Spec> or is that just drop-you-into-root-shell-magic
[21:10] <jugglerbry> hi all.  Wubi install, dual boot.  Has been working fine up until now, but am now not able to boot.  Getting the grub menu, but then some text but no error code.  Anyone help ?
[21:10] <racecar56> how do i start a secondary X server? i did it once before but i forgot
[21:10] <Arimoto> Spec: I think the latter
[21:10] <Spec> Arimoto: shame.
[21:10] <Blaccent> Was wondering if anyone was able to help me figure out a lagging issue with HD videos
[21:10] <jrib> Spec: the latter
[21:10] <Hekos> try2: how do i remove gnome-panel ?
[21:10] <BluesKaj> andruk, dunno that either , I don't normally use the terminal for graphical apps
[21:10] <jrib> darrenlooby: is there a reason you don't just mount all devices after sda (or however many disks you have)
[21:10] <anthony__> mdg: okay, synaptic opened
[21:10] <mdg_> xopah_: logging into workstation - I thought you meant via ssh or something
[21:10] <racecar56> Blaccent: does your video card fail/did you install drivers for it
[21:11] <jiffe98> if I have a file of type 'x86 boot sector', is there a way to convert that to an iso?
[21:11] <darrenlooby> jrib, most likely 'cause I don't know what I'm doing haha
[21:11] <Blaccent> racecar56, yeah I'm using nvidia driver 173
[21:11] <racecar56> Blaccent: what kind of card it is
[21:11] <jrib> darrenlooby: I don't know of an easy-one-command way to do what you ask
[21:11] <racecar56> Blaccent: *is it
[21:11] <Blaccent> racecar56, BFG Nvidia 9600GTS
[21:11] <darrenlooby> jrib, looks like I found something that I need to learn much more about then
[21:12] <mdg_> anthony__: okay search for ndiswrapper, ndisgtk and one more -- something common.  You want to right click to select them, but do not press "Apply" - let me know
[21:12] <thiebaude> Blaccent, did you use the recommended driver?
[21:12] <darrenlooby> jrib, just looking around the ubuntu wiki now
[21:12] <racecar56> Blaccent: why are you using 173 for that card?
[21:12] <thiebaude> 185
[21:12] <jugglerbry> anyone ?
[21:12] <racecar56> Blaccent: i have a 8600GT and i use 185.
[21:12] <Blaccent> thiebaude, 185 causes all videos to lose any red colour
[21:12] <thiebaude> me too racecar56
[21:12] <anthony__> mdg: they are already installed
[21:12] <racecar56> thiebaude: my fan growls :P
[21:12] <thiebaude> 8400 gs here
[21:13] <andruk> BluesKaj: hmph, well google was more helpful than i thought it would be.  the command for kde < 3 is kcontrol, the command for KDE > 4 is systemsettings.  thanks for your help.
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> Blaccent: i use the beta 190 on my 6150
[21:13] <ZykoticK9> racecar56, second Xsession on a virtual terminal?  just run "gdmflexiserver" from your first X session - FYI you'll have to log in as a different User
[21:13] <thiebaude> 512 mb video ram
[21:13] <mdg_> anthony__: fabulous! - we are very close then...
[21:13] <Blaccent> same, only 512
[21:13] <anthony__> mdg: thank god!
[21:13] <wrapster> any idea how i can queue downloads in vuze>
[21:13] <anthony__> mdg: i wish i could buy you a beer
[21:13] <mdg_> anthony__: just waiting for my download to finish so I can peruse the zip file
[21:14] <xopah_> mdg_ sorry, no I just changed IRC client Im ready to do what ever changes you might think might help!
