[10:24] <ashesofpain> Hamachi for linux ?
[10:24] <rautamiekka> ashesofpain: Yeah
[10:24] <ashesofpain> rautamiekka, ok... didn't know that :D
[10:25] <rautamiekka> ashesofpain: They have a beta console edition of Hamachi2 in the labs, works wonders.
[10:25] <ChrisDruif> SuspectZero: You could also try TeamViewer :)
[10:25] <brandons> blarg, nick serv leave me alone! sorry haha
[10:25] <rautamiekka> ChrisDruif: TeamViewer VPN ? Yeah, one way, most likely more easy than Hamachi.
[10:25] <SuspectZero> i'll look that up now too
[10:25] <SuspectZero> thanks for the help ChrisDruif , rautamiekka
[10:26] <ChrisDruif> SuspectZero: Your welcome :)
[10:26] <Sheepherd> edified: but now do i remove those old evolution mail entries?
[10:26] <ChrisDruif> rautamiekka: I've never used other vpn or ssh....really easy to use that teamviewer :)
[10:26] <rautamiekka> SuspectZero: http://teamviewer.com/download/index.aspx#downloadAreaLinux, https://secure.logmein.com/US/labs/
[10:27] <rautamiekka> SuspectZero: There you go, the links.
[10:27] <edified> Sheepherd:  what do you mean? To remove your accounts from Evolution, open up the program, manage accounts and delete the accounts.  Or do you mean something else?
[10:27] <SuspectZero> thanks rautamiekka
[10:27] <rautamiekka> Why my Ubuntu 10.10 Server can't update anymore ? The output of "sudo aptitude update" -> http://codepad.org/tkvXq66j <-. The output of "sudo aptitude update" after replacing the Ubuntu Central Archive's domain with the IP -> http://codepad.org/QkgRhY8E <-. My APT Sources -> http://codepad.org/yh6E9TAe <-. My Hosts -> http://codepad.org/yODoWbHp <-.
[10:27] <ChrisDruif> rautamiekka: That one I mend :)

[10:29] <Mors> Anyone here ever give PPC a try?
[10:29] <AbhiJit> !ppc
[10:30] <Dr_Willis> Mors:  i got an old ppc imac..  its basically best used as a doorstop
[10:30] <AbhiJit> :)
[10:30] <Mors> HaHA!! I can see that now :)
[10:30] <rautamiekka> Dr_Willis: Haha !
[10:30] <Mors> I am currently on a imac g4
[10:30] <Mors> It can irc chat fine :)
[10:30] <Dr_Willis> i cant even get a normal console working rioht on it.
[10:30] <ustun> Mors: I am on a pentium 3
[10:30] <edified> Sheepherd:  Oh I see, you want to remove that entry.  Hmm give me one second, ill try and figure it out
[10:30] <Dr_Willis> it does ok wih os-x and a bash teminal to the linux box;s
[10:31] <brontoeee> Dr_Willis, X? which one? tiger?
[10:31] <Mors> This ubuntu ppc version i got works fine, when i updated to 10.10 it lost speed, and I cannot use any flashplayer -.-
[10:31] <dreewill> can anyone tell me what that means? rtkit-daemon[1143]: Failed to make ourselves RT: Operation not permitted
[10:31] <ChrisDruif> rautamiekka: You're using Maverick on a server? :)
[10:31] <Dr_Willis> brontoeee:  whatever the latest my old old old imac-dv can handle
[10:31] <edified> Sheepherd:  Ok, type open up the terminal and type in:  sudo apt-get remove evolution-indicator
[10:32] <rautamiekka> ChrisDruif: Yah, the 10.04 gave me more problems per finger than I could count with a calculator.
[10:32] <Dr_Willis> Mors:  flash is not ported to the ppc last i checked.
[10:32] <ChrisDruif> I was surprised they let lucid be LTS :P
[10:32] <Dr_Willis> I need a Puppylinux-ppc version :)
[10:32] <Mors> It has a horrible make shift work around that is stated to barly work if work at all
[10:32] <edified> Sheepherd:  Let me know if that works or not, another option may be to remove Evolution as a whole (since you use Thunderbird anyways)
[10:33] <Mors> gnash, and swfdec
[10:33] <Mors> i got stuck at getting cario and pango installed to create pangocario lol
[10:33] <Sheepherd> edified: ive already removed evolution. but i logout to see if it works
[10:33] <Mors> one missing dependence after another
[10:34] <Mors> What do you think my chances are on tethering this old thing? haha
[10:34] <Dr_Willis> I hope by next year - we got all sorts of cool ARM based mini pcs and tablet running ubuntu and android.
[10:34] <rautamiekka> Why my Ubuntu 10.10 Server can't update anymore ? The output of "sudo aptitude update" -> http://codepad.org/tkvXq66j <-.

[10:35] <Mors> Dr_Willis, A+, I agree 100% :)
[10:35] <AbhiJit> rautamiekka, try askin in ubuntuforum and askubuntu
[10:35] <rautamiekka> AbhiJit: I guess I have to.
[10:37] <edified> Sheepherd:  Ok, let me know, but do try the command I send over: sudo apt-get remove evolution-indicator
[10:37] <Sheepherd_> whoever i talked to ealier... it works :)
[10:37] <edified> Sheepherd_ glad to see its working
[10:37] <Sheepherd_> edified: now i just need to figure out how to autostart thunderbird minimized by default
[10:37] <Mors> When things work, isnt it just great
[10:38] <ChrisDruif> rautamiekka: You use sh upg to update and upgrade? =-O
[10:38] <edified> Sheepherd_  you want to it to autostart on startup?
[10:38] <Sheepherd_> edified: already done that but i need it to autostart minimized
[10:39] <Sheepherd_> edified: but i couldnt find the correspondent argument yet :/
[10:40] <apple314> hy guys. I have an idea... I would like to set users home directory to usb. Can it be done ,and how? Thanks in advance.
[10:40] <ChrisDruif> apple314: I think it could be possible, but why would you want to do that?
[10:40] <edified> Sheepherd_ ill try to figure it out (btw how are you liking ubuntu so far? are you new to it?)
[10:40] <oCean> rautamiekka: probably something wrong with the dns you're using. I assume you can't browse fi.archive.canonical.com?
[10:41] <mateusz> siema co tam
[10:41] <Sheepherd_> edified: im not really new... but im starting to explore all my possibilities =)
[10:41] <apple314> CrisDruif to learn more... Im new to linux but very interested, so im learning...
[10:41] <Sheepherd_> edified: and i love it since dunno... 7.04?
[10:43] <Mors> you could use programs to keep things minimized on start up like Devils Pie, or Metacity i think
[10:43] <apple314> CrisDruif: any ideas?
[10:43] <edified> Sheepherd_  Very nice.   Well ... as for autostarting minimized try to Go to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications and click the "Add" button.
[10:43] <Mors> Sheepherd_,
[10:44] <edified> Sheepherd_  then type in : thunderbird
[10:44] <edified> and when you start up your computer Thunderbird should start up minimized in the system tray
[10:44] <edified> Sheepherd_ and when you start up your computer Thunderbird should start up minimized in the system tray
[10:44] <brontoeee> apple314, i smell a lot of possible problems with that, especially on boot time, so why again?

[10:46] <apple314> im trying stuff out. Dont worry about crashing. Im used to that. I cant figure how to do it. Any sugestions?
[10:46] <ChrisDruif> apple314: I might have found a website, but still reading :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=529573
[10:46] <apple314> It would be nice to haw the option to have your profile on every machine...
[10:47] <pr3d4t0r> When I try that I get a deb - command not found, and I can't find the package that installs that.  Where is this command, or what is the Ubuntu alternative?  I thought that Ubuntu was a straight Debian superset.  Thanks in advance.
[10:47] <pr3d4t0r> edified: Hej - doing great, thanks.  How do you do?

[10:49] <ChrisDruif> apple314: Sometimes at my parents (dual-boot laptop), so I would like to sync my settings atleast :)
[10:50] <ChrisDruif> frustro: On my laptop hibernation doesn't work and by default those power management is included :)

[10:50] <Krish_err_34> Hi guys, how can I blacklist the dvd drivers to be loaded from the kernel ?
[10:50] <frustro> ChrisDruif, brb, gonna go to desktop to work on laptop...
[10:51] <Krish_err_34> I need to know the name of the driver of the dvd . so that I can blacklist it
[10:51] <Krish_err_34> I tried lsmod , but was not able to find the required name
 You could just tar home/user/ and untar at different computer, but firs create the same name user. But im very interested how to do it with USB...
[10:54] <frustro_> ChrisDruif, just tried hibernate from the power button menu and it went down and press of power it came back! yay!
[10:54] <frustro_> where do you manage the actions for the lid?
[10:54] <sacarlson> Krish_err_34: I'm not sure but my dvd is pluged into my ide or sata interface and is seen much the same as a disk,  if you disable that you may disable all your disks
[10:54] <ChrisDruif> frustro_: You're in luck, with me it takes ages to come out of hibernate...
[10:55] <ChrisDruif> Anyhow...
[10:55] <pr3d4t0r> Q.How does one go about installing the Debian deb comman on Ubuntu, or what is its equivalent tool, or what would be a good  way to use apt-search to find it in the repositories?  Thanks in advance.
[10:55] <ChrisDruif> If you unplug the power cord for a few secs you'll get a battery indicator in the top-panel :)
[10:55] <sacarlson> Krish_err_34: what is it you don't want to happen on this dvd?
[10:56] <ChrisDruif> frustro_: And then just left-click it to go to preferences...
[10:56] <Krish_err_34> @sacarlson : my desktop is lagging
[10:56] <Krish_err_34> @sacarlson : my desktop is lagging,so I checked the kernel log
[10:56] <ChrisDruif> frustro_: Otherwise System>Preferences>Power Management :)
[10:56] <urupica> pr3d4t0r:  "deb http://location.com/whatever package-src contrib" isn't a commad. so don't type it into your shell
[10:56] <Krish_err_34> @sacarlson : it says Buffer I/O error on device sda5, logical block 28279025
[10:57] <urupica> you have to include it into your repository list
[10:57] <sacarlson> Krish_err_34: do you make sure there is no disk in the drive or is that not an aption?
[10:58] <edified> pr3d4tor :  Im not familiar with the deb command.  What did it do in Debian?
[10:58] <sacarlson> Krish_err_34: oh sda5 is that even the dvd ?  I don't think so
[10:58] <pr3d4t0r> urupica: I'm looking at the instructions from a vendor, indicating that it's a Debian command.
[10:58] <Krish_err_34> @sacarlson : I just unplugged the cord that connects the motherboard to the dvd drive ..after doing it ..I am experiencing this lag
[10:59] <pr3d4t0r> urupica: One sec - let me grab the URL for their instructions.
[10:59] <brontoeee> pr3d4t0r, thats an indication of the repo i think
[10:59] <brontoeee> not a command
[10:59] <pr3d4t0r> brontoeee: Yeah, got it.  My bad - thanks!
[11:00] <pr3d4t0r> brontoeee: I just realized they'd set thefile up elsewhere.
[11:00] <urupica> it's not a command. this page explains repositories: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[11:00] <pr3d4t0r> urupica: Yeah, understood.  Thanks!
[11:00] <sacarlson> Krish_err_34: well I would look at fdisk -l and /etc/fstab and see if you have a disk that you try to mount that is no longer present
[11:00] <ChrisDruif> edified: I believe that "deb http://something/somewhere package-src contrib" is part of the sources list :)
[11:01] <paul__> is there anyway to figure out the command that makes the drop down menu in the tray applet to appear?
[11:01] <edified> ChrisDruif  Ah Ok.  Thnks
[11:01] <paul__> i'm sorry the applet that let's you switch between users
[11:02] <frustro_> ChrisDruif, cool, thanks. pulling ac and going to close the lid. should hibernate.
[11:02] <Krish_err_34> @sacarlson : what should I do to debug it ?
[11:02] <ChrisDruif> frustro_: I hope it works (it should)
[11:03] <sacarlson> Krish_err_34: fdisk -l  view /etc/fstab

[11:09] <Krish_err_34> @sacarlson : I am currently using the same deskop that I am having the problems with..so I am pretty much sure that its mounted
[11:09] <milen8204> blitzer32, What have to do to chose one
[11:09] <sacarlson> Krish_err_34:  well all the easier to see with the command mount
[11:09] <blitzer32> it should be application thats what worked for me
[11:10] <blitzer32> all you need is application and in the command section "sudo nautilus" without quotes
[11:10] <blitzer32> oh and a name
[11:10] <milen8204> it is alplication to me\
[11:11] <milen8204> i have a name nautilus
[11:11] <blitzer32> what happens when you make it
[11:11] <milen8204> the launcher appeared but doesnt work
[11:11] <Krish_err_34> @sacarlson : I always face some kind of problems when I install ubuntu using WUBI :( .. so I think its best to do a install by using ext4 instead of that ntfs
[11:11] <milen8204> i will chose application in terminal
[11:12] <sacarlson> Krish_err_34: oh yes I don't support wubi
[11:12] <blitzer32> no its application
[11:12] <Windowed> hello all I just installed xubuntu on an old box, everythig seemed to  be ok till I rebooted after a system request to do it. After that my screen resolution looks way bigger than the screen size ..HELP
[11:13] <blitzer32> but either should work
[11:13] <milen8204> hah it works that way when i chouse an application in terminal
[11:13] <milen8204> blitzer32,  thanks :D
[11:13] <blitzer32> no problem but it should work the other way too
[11:14] <blitzer32> no for me does any body know what would couse my sound not to unmute
[11:14] <Krish_err_34> @sacarlson : thanks for your time mate..I think I will do a reinstall , this time I wont use wubi ..
[11:14] <Dr_Willis> avoiding wubi - is a good idea
[11:15] <Windowed> #xubuntu
[11:16] <Windowed> no help channel for xubuntu?
[11:16] <Dr_Willis> thers#xubuntu i think
[11:17] <ChrisDruif> Dr_Willis: The idea was good (trying Ubuntu inside (familiar) Windows) however there are so much complications that it deters more people then convincing
[11:17] <blitzer32> dr.willis is there a way to reinstall the sound drivers on ubuntu
[11:18] <inashdeen> hi, anyone knows how to configure an sip phone?
[11:18] <Dr_Willis> blitzer32:  reinstall the alsa packages i guess. purge/reinstall them.
[11:18] <ChrisDruif> Dr_Willis: And the community doesn't seem to support it (everyone I've heard here about Wubi is against it :P)
[11:18] <Dr_Willis> ChrisDruif:  i keep hopeng it wll get remoived..
[11:18] <Windowed> my xserver is running but all I see is the wallpaper.. no icons, menus.. nothing :( the creen is bigger than the availablle screen space
[11:18] <Dr_Willis> ChrisDruif:  i perfer virtualbox, or that andlinux variant.
[11:19] <frustro_> ChrisDruif, thanks! bye!
[11:19] <Dr_Willis> Windowed:  sounds like the desktop didsne tload and the x config is messed up.
[11:19] <ChrisDruif> Which alternative do you mean Dr_Willis?
[11:19] <Dr_Willis> ChrisDruif:  virtualbox, andlinux (por was it anlinux, 32bit only)
[11:19] <Windowed> any idea how to solve the problem Dr_willis?
[11:20] <Dr_Willis> Windowed:  you could exit to the console, and run 'startx' and  look for error messages, on the console after X starts.
[11:21] <Dr_Willis> Windowed:  alternatively, try making a new user, see if it workls for them. if Not that points to some system config issue/.
[11:21] <Dr_Willis> Windowed:  if it does work for a new user - that implies its a user config file issue
[11:21] <Dr_Willis> Windowed:  has it ever worked?
[11:21] <Windowed> when i try to do that it says the xserver is already working
[11:21] <aurax> can anyone assist with xorg configuration? it seems that ubuntu's installation doesn't add vital information to xorg.conf. is there a way to automate it?
[11:21] <Windowed> it has worked once at the end of the install
[11:21] <Dr_Willis> Windowed:  stop the gdm/xdm/kdm/whateverdm service xubunut is using
[11:21] <Nobody> forceflow: it doesnt work
[11:21] <Windowed> then it asked to reboot and that is when the problem startedù
[11:22] <Dr_Willis> sudo service gdm stop
[11:22] <Dr_Willis> but i dont know if xubuntu uses gdm or what it uses
[11:22] <FireStorm> d
[11:22] <ChrisDruif> Alright, I didn't know about andLinux. However, I would even suggest dual-booting above Wubi :P
[11:22] <Windowed> well.. i did that and found myself on a black window
[11:23] <Windowed> but i can't do anything...
[11:23] <Windowed> no prompt
[11:23] <Nobody> anyone know how to use scp ?
[11:23] <sacarlson> aurax: there is a way to create a xorg config file and then edit it to change things,  but what device is it you want to change?
[11:24] <aurax> sacarlson: everything, the file is 8 lines of default settings...
[11:24] <Dr_Willis> ChrisDruif:  dual booting is not always an option.. if it was then thee no need for wubi ;)
[11:24] <aurax> dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver drops me back to shell...
[11:24] <Windowed> Dr-willis is there a way to boot in safe mode?
[11:24] <sacarlson> aurax: at default there is no config so you or something must have created it
[11:25] <aurax> hmm, is there a way to automatically configure it with hardware detection of some kind?
[11:25] <sacarlson> aurax: that what it does now be default if no config is present,  you can create that file and modify it if needed

[11:26] <ChrisDruif> FireStorm89: It's another channel...
[11:26] <Dr_Willis> Windowed:  or edit a grub boot entyr a the menu - replace 'quiet splash' with 'text'
[11:27] <oCean> FireStorm89: the channel that deals with that kind of things. This is thechnical ubuntu support Type /join #freenode
[11:27] <FireStorm89>  /join #freenode
[11:27] <FireStorm89> this freenode?
[11:27] <oCean> FireStorm89: don't start with the space
[11:27] <zombie-robot> is it possible to remote desktop into a different user in the background?
[11:27] <FireStorm89> join #freenode
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> zombie-robot:  with vnc and frenx - you can. You do NOT always have to use the 'currently visible desktop'
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> freenx :)
[11:28] <ChrisDruif> FireStorm89: It's /join #freenode ....but before the "/" no space :)
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> install a vncserver , ssh in, start vncserver, connect with a vnc client to the hidden desktop
[11:29] <Dr_Willis> !vnc
[11:29] <zombie-robot> i use vnc to rRD from my ipad
[11:29] <zombie-robot> its awesome
[11:29] <EyesIsMine> I want to get rid of Ubuntu and GRUB from my amin disk
[11:30] <EyesIsMine> And install it back again on my new disk
[11:30] <kaushal> How do i drop all user schemas related to Enterprise Edition features, such as the MDSYS account (used with Oracle Spatial).
[11:30] <zombie-robot> how can i log on as a different user
[11:30] <EyesIsMine> Via Wubi in windows
[11:30] <EyesIsMine> How would I do that?
[11:30] <kaushal> after migrating to Standard Edition
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> EyesIsMine:  via wubi? not sure thats doable.
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> EyesIsMine:  or are you asking how to remove wubi?
[11:30] <EyesIsMine> I want to install through wubi
[11:30] <sacarlson> aurax: the command sudo Xorg -configure  will create a default  xorg.conf that can be edited to change proferences
[11:31] <EyesIsMine> But remove an diff copy on my main disk in anyway
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> thers wubi -> to normal install guides out there.
[11:31] <EyesIsMine> Uhhh
[11:31] <EyesIsMine> What I want to dp
[11:31] <kaushal> Where can i seek help for Oracle DB Server
[11:31] <EyesIsMine> Is uninstall GRUB and Ubuntu, How would I do that safely?
[11:31] <bazhang> kaushal, in an oracle support forum
[11:32] <devkorcvince> odd someone here use zend server ce on my test server it mix its lib on system lib and now python ssh is depending to the zend lib very odd
[11:32] <earwigs> <3 ubuntu.
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> EyesIsMine:  Uninstalling WUBI = You use the windows add/remove programs tool.
[11:32] <EyesIsMine> No.
[11:32] <earwigs> applied some Artic Silver 5 to my cpu and this lappys been running like a dream since.
[11:32] <EyesIsMine> That is NOT what I want to do
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> EyesIsMine:  but remoivnbg a noirmal install = delete the parttions, reinstall whatever bootloader you want.
[11:33] <EyesIsMine> Oh.
[11:33] <bazhang> EyesIsMine, delete the partition, use the windows tool to fix mbr then install via wubi
[11:33] <elkng> hi all
[11:33] <EyesIsMine> wOkay then.
[11:33] <earwigs> hihi
[11:33] <elkng> there is a "Ralink RT2870" chipset in "D-Link DWA-125" and "Atheros" chipset in "TP-Link TL-WN721N", which one has less problems in linux ? which adapter/chipset is better?
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> I dont reccomend using wubi :)
[11:33] <earwigs> i dont recomend duel booting
[11:33] <bazhang> elkng, atheros
[11:34] <zombie-robot> can i do it gui?
[11:34] <bazhang> zombie-robot, do what
[11:35] <elkng> bazhang: are you sure?
[11:35] <bazhang> elkng, yep
[11:35] <zombie-robot> is it possible to remote desktop into a different user in the background?
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> zombie-robot:  install the vncserver, and yes its possible.
[11:36] <Windowed> rebooted in safe mode .. now i see the desktop
[11:36] <elkng> bazhang: =)
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> install 'a' vncserver. thers several to choose from. or freenx. or the freenx variants
[11:36] <zombie-robot>  can i do it gui?
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> zombie-robot:  or you can set it up wher eyou just ssh in and run whatever app you want to appesar locally
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> zombie-robot:  what part? vncservers are in the package manager listings..
[11:36] <earwigs> zombie-robot: you mean you want to connect to the same computer but under a different user profile?
[11:37] <zombie-robot> earwigs yes
[11:37] <sacarlson> zombie-robot: yes you can select the power botton at the top right and select Switch from user to other user
[11:38] <earwigs> zombie-robot: you can set up multiple sessions http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185555
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> but thats not a 'totally remote' solution
[11:39] <zombie-robot> i can be logged in as a different user in the background but how do i access the one inthe bg?
[11:39] <binoy> Dr_Willis: hi
[11:39] <earwigs> zombie-robot: read the link
[11:39] <sacarlson> Dr_Willis: zombie-robot: I'm not sure or not if it would work in x11vnc
[11:40] <Idol_Mind> The default theme is failing to load properly at login. How do I fix this? (10.10 x64)
[11:40] <earwigs> zombie-robot: this one is also good http://hex1a4.net/xubuntu/howto/03/
[11:40] <zombie-robot> so how do ichoose a different display
[11:41] <brown_boar> Hello. Is there a such thing as upgrading ubuntu 10.10 to an older version
[11:41] <zombie-robot> vpn://user/ip?
[11:41] <FireStorm89> Anyone read programming reference guides here, aren't they boring, what's a different way to learn?
[11:41] <bazhang> brown_boar, no
[11:41] <Windowed> can I solve my display problems from the safe mode?
[11:41] <zombie-robot> just a stab in the dark
[11:42] <Idol_Mind> FireStorm89, I would suggest looking at working source code and trying to understand how/why they used certain techniques.
[11:42] <Idol_Mind> FireStorm89, Then research from there
[11:43] <brown_boar> bazhang, is that a positive?
[11:43] <bazhang> brown_boar, no
[11:43] <FireStorm89> @Idol_Mind ok thanks. Is there any other ways?
[11:44] <Idol_Mind> Are the newer AMD video cards compatible with Ubuntu (The 5700+ series)?
[11:44] <Idol_Mind> FireStorm89, Aside from books, classes, and programming forums... I'm not sure. Depends on your learning style.
[11:44] <earwigs> FireStorm89: what language are you learning?
[11:45] <earwigs> IdleOne: yeah, working out what learning stype works best for you is a good start.
[11:45] <brown_boar> Idol_Mind my Dell XPS 8100 has a 5770 ATI card and it runs with Ubuntu
[11:45] <earwigs> style*
[11:45] <coz_> Idol_Mind,  I believe so
[11:45] <FireStorm89> I'm trying to learn a frame work for php called zend frame work, but the reference manual is very long
[11:46] <earwigs> FireStorm89: you could have a look online for some free ebooks. Ive found a large number of fantastic ones for python that accomodate a range of learning styles.
[11:46] <Idol_Mind> brown_boar, have you had any issues with OpenGL, Gimp, or Screen Capture software? My wife does a ton of video editing and 3D modelling.
[11:46] <brown_boar> Blender 3D worked with no issues. but the beta 2.5+s still crash sometimes last i checked
[11:46] <earwigs> IdleOne: she should enjoy blender, i did when i moved over from 3DS
[11:46] <brown_boar> Gimp i actually use a genius pen tablet with and can draw
[11:47] <bazhang> earwigs, you mean Idol_Mind
[11:47] <FireStorm89> that's very useful, I haven't considered that, I'll try that now thanks earwigs
[11:47] <Idol_Mind> brown_boar, genius eh? We've been eyeing a wacom bamboo.. how do you like yours?
[11:47] <earwigs> FireStorm89: good luck :) also try IRC rooms for php, i was referred to most of the good ones from the python channel here
[11:48] <brown_boar> It works pretty well. Sometimes it sticks, but that may be battery related. Most of the time there is no issue at all.
[11:48] <coder2> how to reset root password via single user mode in ubuntu 10.04 lucid???help
[11:49] <bazhang> coder2, there should not be a root password
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> coder2:  theres no root password by default. if you set one, you can set it to a password via the passwd command
[11:49] <coder2> bazhang: then for a particular user???
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> coder2:  same command passwd
[11:50] <Idol_Mind> brown_boar, do you know what brand of 5770 you have? I'm looking at an XFX one for $150 USD
[11:50] <coder2> how to enter in single user mode??
[11:50] <Dr_Willis> coder2:  grub menus have a recovery/rescue mode i thought
[11:50] <sacarlson> coder2:  hold the shift key at boot
[11:51] <coder2> Dr_Willis: yes you are right............but it also require password i think
[11:52] <brown_boar> Idol_Mind i have a [VX2250 SERIES] ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series.
[11:52] <Dr_Willis> coder2:  you could also edit the grub line and replace 'quiet splash' with 'single' or '1' i think
[11:52] <sacarlson> coder2: only if your bios is setup for password,  maybe they have password for grub now too?
[11:52] <Dr_Willis> coder2:  i tend to rember my passwords. so i rarelyneed to reset them :)
[11:52] <livingdaylight> question: used to boot up laptop and wireless would just automatically come 'on' However, now I have to connect to it everytime. Is there a way of automating this as previously?
[11:52] <Idol_Mind> brown_boar, VX2250.. who makes that?!
[11:52] <Dr_Willis> live cd and chroot in/edit passwd file or run passwd is also a way
[11:53] <coder2> Dr_Willis: its not mine,friend of mine
[11:54] <brown_boar> Idol_Mind VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Juniper [Radeon HD 5700 Series]
[11:54] <brown_boar> my video card also does audio
[11:55] <brown_boar> or something?
[11:55] <Idol_Mind> brown_boar, must be a reference board then
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> brown_boar:  the audio/hdmi audio - can be an issue
[11:55] <kapcom01> hello, I have installed ubuntu with everythin on LVM. I know that I could have left /boot outside but now its done.. I get grub rescue>   Can anyone help?
[11:56] <Taravel> can I cancel the request of the password when I  close and then I open the netbook?
[11:56] <sugoruyo> hi folks, have any of you used preseeding? I'm looking for my debconf answers but I have no debconf-get-selections command...
[11:56] <brown_boar> Idol_Mind i think my card might be some fluke. it appears to be highly rare
[11:56] <Dr_Willis> Taravel:  i think thats under powersaveing or screensaver settings.
[11:56] <brown_boar> according to this my card is classified.
[11:56] <brown_boar> i mean access denied
[11:56] <sacarlson> kapcom01: you still need to install grub mbr to sda  sound like you picked sdb or sdax as your mbr location
[11:57] <brown_boar> "	Capabilities: <access denied>"
[11:57] <brown_boar> are my capabilities more than i can imagine
[11:57] <Idol_Mind> brown_boar, did you forget sudo? lol
[11:57] <ddman> hi, i've an applicatino which uses shmat and it fails arbitrarily. How do i step from the application code into kernel code ? using gdb i can trace through the source but how do i step through the kernel code .
[11:58] <sacarlson> kapcom01: but by the sound of it you must of also already had a system that booted from grub?
[11:58] <Idol_Mind> ddman, set a hardware breakpoint and step through that way... should go through the stack and kernel
[11:58] <kapcom01> sacarlson, yes i hade before..
[11:58] <ddman> Idol_Mind, i won't be able to see the kernel source for say shmat ?
[11:58] <Idol_Mind> ddman, oh right... kinda hard to attach to the kernel... ignore me lol
[11:59] <Idol_Mind> ddman, do you have all the headers and/or source for your application?
[11:59] <ddman> Idol_Mind, yes
[11:59] <kapcom01> sacarlson, i deleted everything, and used the whole disks on LVM
[11:59] <Idol_Mind> ddman, where is it leaving the source and going into kernel?
[11:59] <sacarlson> kapcom01: yes but you failed to install the mbr to sda
[11:59] <alexander> d
[11:59] <ddman> Idol_Mind, shmat
[11:59] <ddman> Idol_Mind, system calls
[11:59] <alexander> klk
[11:59] <kapcom01> sacarlson, sudo grub-install /dev/sda ?
[12:00] <alexander> hkkkkkkkj
[12:00] <alexander> kggggggggg
[12:00] <bazhang> alexander, stop please
[12:00] <Idol_Mind> ddman, hmm... can you put a watch on the return value? might be your best bet
[12:00] <sacarlson> kapcom01: something like: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda # change sda1 and sda to your choice
[12:00] <shubbar> if i have a running software raid1, can i upgrade it to raid5 without loosing my data?
[12:00] <ddman> Idol_Mind, i know it fails but i want to know why it fails .
[12:00] <Idol_Mind> ddman, oooh.. ok
[12:01] <Idol_Mind> ddman, i'm not sure how to trace through the kernel, but I'd start looking into reference guides on the sys calls..
[12:02] <sacarlson> kapcom01: if you change the mbr to anything other than sda then you will need to change bios to boot from there or have a chainloader boot it
[12:02] <Idol_Mind> ddman, sorry.. I'm used to debugging on winblows
[12:02] <kapcom01> sacarlson, mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> most pc's hve a key combo/fkey to select what hd to boot. :) handy feature
[12:03] <kapcom01> sacarlson, i get this when i type the first mount command
[12:03] <sacarlson> kapcom01: you will need to change the sda1 to sda?  to what you have your stuf loaded on
[12:03] <sacarlson> kapcom01: and you will need to do this from a live cd boot
[12:04] <Taravel> tanks Dr_Willis
[12:04] <kapcom01> sacarlson, yes i am doing this from live cd.. and i also used sda1 for the physical volume (PV)
[12:04] <kapcom01> sacarlson, should i try sda ?
[12:05] <sacarlson> kapcom01: show me sudo fdisk -l
[12:05] <sacarlson> kapcom01: please pastebinit not paste it in the irc
[12:05] <TopGun> hi everybody i have a problem
[12:05] <TopGun> with the new core
[12:06] <TopGun> can somebody help?
[12:06] <Idol_Mind> The default theme is failing to load properly at login. How do I fix this? (10.10 x64)
[12:07] <kapcom01> sacarlson, http://pastebin.com/cQ1NPLCi
[12:08] <TopGun> helloooooo?
[12:09] <sacarlson> kapcom01: I thougth an lvm just points to another patition I would expect to see more entries
[12:09] <kaim> Hello all.
[12:09] <Alex_____> :P
[12:09] <Alex_____> Hello
[12:10] <TopGun> i have a problem, my screen freezes for 4-5 seconds, i can move the mouse, but can't do anything
[12:10] <Idol_Mind> Topgun, just ask the question
[12:10] <Alex_____> can kloxo run on ubuntu?
[12:10] <kaim> Have a question. Dose one tried to move data from Win7 sticky notes to Ubuntu?
[12:11] <kapcom01> sacarlson, do you think it is possible to boot when the /boot is on LVM partition?
[12:11] <Alex_____> kaim: copy paste?
[12:11] <kaim> its and snt file, and I do not know how to manage it
[12:11] <Alex_____> Who can help me?
[12:11] <TopGun> what about me? xD
[12:11] <kaim> Alex: copy-paste is not the right solution =)
[12:12] <kaim> Alex: what is your question?
[12:12] <TopGun> i have a problem, my screen freezes for 4-5 seconds, i can move the mouse, but can't do anything
[12:12] <bazhang> TopGun, with compiz or no
[12:12] <sacarlson> kapcom01: I don't use lvm so I would have to research it but seems the are just logical volumes that point where other volumes are located on the disk,  an lvm holds nothing as far as data but maybe I"m wrong,  please someone who know for sure step in here
[12:12] <TopGun> with
[12:13] <bazhang> TopGun, try disabling it first
[12:13] <TopGun> from the compiz icon?
[12:13] <bazhang> alt f2 metacity --replace
[12:13] <Alex_____> can kloxo run on ubuntu?
[12:13] <bazhang> Alex_____, what is that
[12:13] <sacarlson> kapcom01: when you view sda with gparted what is seen as far as space left?
[12:13] <TopGun> thanks
[12:13] <Alex_____> http://demo.kloxo.com:7778/
[12:13] <Alex_____> control panel
[12:13] <TopGun> i'll try
[12:14] <bazhang> Alex_____, have you tried
[12:14] <Alex_____> no
[12:14] <kaim> Alex: I think kloxo will run just fine if you have all the rest needed software
[12:14] <kaim> As I do see - it's and WEB app, so apache properally installed and configured will do the job
[12:14] <Alex_____> http://wiki.lxcenter.org/Kloxo+Installation+Guide
[12:15] <Alex_____> Prerequisites
[12:15] <Alex_____> 1) A dedicated or virtual server (Xen/OpenVZ/Virtuozzo) running CentOS or Red Hat EL (versions 5.1+).
[12:15] <oCean> Alex_____: from http://forum.lxcenter.org/index.php?t=msg&goto=78079& it says No. Kloxo does not work on Ubuntu or any other distro other than CentOS 5.x 32-bit.
[12:15] <TopGun> @bazhang
[12:15] <TopGun> it's ugly that way
[12:15] <TopGun> any other solution that may cause it?
[12:15] <kapcom01> sacarlson, gparted crashes :P
[12:15] <Alex_____> Which control panel can I use for my  ubuntu server?
[12:15] <bazhang> Alex_____, ebox?
[12:16] <Alex_____> free?
[12:16] <sacarlson> kapcom01: what version have you installed and what is the live cd boot version?
[12:16] <mylisto> when I run dmesg I am getting ""device not accepting address 16, error -71""
[12:16] <mylisto> anyone know what the cause of this may be?
[12:16] <bazhang> in the repos so yes Alex_____
[12:16] <Alex_____> eBOX = Zentyal
[12:16] <kapcom01> sacarlson, ubuntu 10.10 netbook from usb, (this is my live cd)
[12:17] <Alex_____> Is Zentyal an OS?
[12:17] <sacarlson> kapcom01: both version 10.10?
[12:17] <kapcom01> sacarlson, yes
[12:17] <bazhang> !ebox | Alex_____
[12:17] <sacarlson> kapcom01: I'll create one in virtualbox and see what it does
[12:18] <Alex_____> ubottu:  Zentyal (formely eBox Platform) is an open source unified network server
[12:19] <mylisto> when I run dmesg I am getting ""device not accepting address 16, error -71""  anyone know what the cause of this may be?
[12:19] <kapcom01> sacarlson, when running from terminal: http://pastebin.com/Ur9aaGJg

[12:20] <lithpr> hi!  i'm trying to learn more about bash.  when i do "printenv" i do not see the EDITOR variable set.  However, it seems that somehow nano is my default editor.  Where is that set, or, how does that work in Ubuntu?
[12:20] <sacarlson> kapcom01: never seen that before
[12:22] <Idol_Mind> My theme is failing to load properly at login. How do I fix this? (10.10 x64)
[12:22] <bazhang> Idol_Mind, change the theme?
[12:22] <Idol_Mind> bazhang, doesn't work

[12:25] <lesley> hi i have a problem, i just activated my gfx drivers on ubuntu, when i reboot it says 'fatal server error: no screens found'
[12:25] <earwigs> wwp
[12:25] <earwigs> eep*
[12:25] <lithpr> are there environment variables set some where that do not appear in the "printenv" output?
[12:25] <angguss> if i use dd to make a copy of a partition with an OS on it, and then the OS goes wrong, if i dd the image back to that partition, will it be like nothing ever changed?
[12:25] <kaim> lesley: check your xorg.conmf
[12:25] <kaim> xorg.conf sorry
[12:26] <lesley> kaim: i am a nub and am not sure what to check for
[12:26] <kaim> angguss: please define your question more accurate
[12:26] <kaim> what you are moving and where
[12:27] <kaim> lesley: ok. Your problem is that X server missed one essential part in its configuration -the definition of Display
[12:28] <kaim> Pleas man for xorg.conf syntactics for details
[12:28] <lesley> kaim: i have opened xorg with nano, but i am not sure what is wrong with it, i don't know much about computers
[12:28] <ashesofpain> hey guys
[12:29] <ashesofpain> I've got a wireless network configuration at home and I'm trying to figure out some stuff
[12:29] <angguss> i plan to update an OS on an HFS+ filesystem, and it is likely that the upgrade will break it, so if i backup that partition using dd, if it does break i can dd it back to fix?
[12:29] <ashesofpain> I have one main router connected to my cable modem (WRT54GL with ddwrt)
[12:29] <oCean> lithpr: this page explains about using and setting environment variables: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables
[12:29] <kaim> in your case I would suggest to run "Xorg -configure"
[12:29] <ashesofpain> and another router that acts as an access point
[12:30] <ashesofpain> so I have 2 wireless nodes or cells... and I gave them the same SSID and they have channels 10 and 11 with same secutiry settings
[12:30] <ashesofpain> what can I use to view all their details
[12:30] <lesley> kaim: i get a fatal server error: cannot move old log file ...
[12:30] <sacarlson> kapcom01: I notice in 10.10 that gparted isn't installed as default,  and after I install it I don't see an option for lvm
[12:30] <ashesofpain> like a scanner or something
[12:31] <ashesofpain> my laptop sees them as one network so that is ok ... that is what I wanted
[12:31] <ashesofpain> but I want to scan them to see their levels in different locations around my yard
[12:31] <ashesofpain> what can you reccomend?
[12:31] <kaim> lesley
[12:32] <kaim> lesley: lats go private
[12:32] <HugoGF> Hello, is someone familiar with gnome shell?

[12:51] <induz> what is google synch
[12:51] <induz> is it going to work o my samsun cell?
[12:51] <HugoGF> Prabhu_: Which ISO of Ubuntu did you download? There is a 32 bit version and a 64 bit version.
[12:52] <bazhang> induz, what does that have to do with ubuntu
[12:52] <HugoGF> Can anyone help me with gnome shell?
[12:52] <induz> bazhang, i dont know but I am using LUcid
[12:52] <prabhu_> actually i asked the cd from ubuntu
[12:52] <kapcom01> sacarlson, didnt work.. http://pastebin.com/KBmRVjrR
[12:52] <prabhu_> so they shipped me with it
[12:52] <bazhang> induz, then #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:52] <HugoGF> induz: I suggest you got to the  #off-topic channel.
[12:52] <prabhu_> ubuntu 10.10
[12:53] <induz> bazhang, how can i go to off topic??
[12:53] <bazhang> induz, /join #channel
[12:53] <HugoGF> prabhu_: I have no idea then.. It should be both.. What do you need 32 bit or 64?
[12:53] <WaltherFI> induz: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:53] <lieuwe> is the kill timeout directive in an upstart job in seconds?
[12:53] <prabhu_> cause i am using intel atom a 32 bit processor
[12:53] <HugoGF> prabhu_: I have a 32 bit processor and I have an ordered CD, it works fine. Just install it. :)
[12:54] <induz> how can I know all my USB ports are working as one of the prot has some problem in Xp?
[12:54] <WaltherFI> Idea: make it possible to pre-order CDs for Natty
[12:54] <prabhu_> i am looking for it because if we use an 64bit os ,it will drain my battery soon than 32bit os
[12:55] <HugoGF> prabhu_: The CD is 32 bit, you can install it.
[12:55] <prabhu_> thank you:)
[12:55] <HugoGF> WaltherFI: Good idea!
[12:55] <HugoGF> prabhu_: No worries.
[12:55] <WaltherFI> prabhu_: also, if you have 32bit cpu you can't install 64
[12:55] <HugoGF> Does anyone know anything about gnome shell?
[12:55] <prabhu_> hmmm is it so?
[12:55] <WaltherFI> HugoGF: fire it
[12:55] <induz> what r the command to check how many USB i have on Ubuntu?
[12:56] <WaltherFI> induz: hwinfo shows everything
[12:56] <skorv[droid]> hello from a android irc client
[12:56] <HugoGF> WaltherFI: Okay, well I installed Gnome Shell and I run gnome --replace when my computer boots up.
[12:56] <WaltherFI> induz: the list is huge, so you want to do something like hwinfo |grep usb
[12:57] <HugoGF> WaltherFI: Now, when I close the terminal gnome-shell dies completely and I have to force shutdown.
[12:57] <prabhu_> does anyone know how to learn about the working of linux from scratch?
[12:57] <WaltherFI> HugoGF: because you kill the command
[12:57] <induz> do i have to insall hwinfo??
[12:57] <WaltherFI> HugoGF: do gnome --replace &
[12:57] <HugoGF> WaltherFI: And I get errors saying JS ERROR! Unhandled type int32r releasing GArgument.
[12:57] <nirazio> The interface should not make a request for an ip over dhcp. So, what is the command to turn of the Network manager in Ubuntu?
[12:57] <HugoGF> WaltherFI: Okay?
[12:57] <AbhiJit> prabhu_, http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ also use slackware and arch
[12:57] <WaltherFI> one & means 'background, so you can kill the terminal
[12:58] <prabhu_> thank you
[12:58] <WaltherFI> 'background'
[12:58] <induz> WaltherFI, do i have to install hwinfo??
[12:58] <HugoGF> WaltherFI: Okay, well the terminal is running so how do I change back to normal gnome from the terminal?
[12:58] <WaltherFI> induz: sudo apt-get install hwinfo
[12:59] <WaltherFI> HugoGF: sudo gdm replace or something
[12:59] <WaltherFI> HugoGF: service gdm restart or just gdm --replace

[13:05] <xlite> Hi everyone
[13:06] <Muphrid> lemme see
[13:06] <Mike1> hi! I got a used Dell Latitude D600 and the key “t” is not working with Ubuntu 10.04. I guess it’s a hardware defect, but how can I validate that?
[13:06] <mstfsnr> its been two days since i installed ubuntu on my netbook for the first time in my life and i am about to go crazy. i downloaded gobi_loader but forums mention some qcserial, but all they say are things like "install makefile" but how ? anyone familiar with 3g broadband modem firmware installation in ubuntu 10.04, please help me.
[13:07] <cdbs> Mike1: Did you try pressing the same key on other OSes?
[13:07] <AbhiJit> mstfsnr, what is gobi_loader and what is that you actually want to do?
[13:07] <damex> Mike1: there are utility "xev"
[13:07] <xlite> Hi Mikel, where are you from
[13:07] <damex> Mike1: try check with it ... if your xorg react to your button
[13:08] <cdbs> !ot | xlite
[13:08] <Muphrid> no it doesnt freeze my computer, it just doesnt work, and it is not recognized by aplay -l, just by lspci -v
[13:08] <xlite> sry
[13:08] <mstfsnr> as to the forums, gobi_loader is a firmware installer for internal mobile broadband modems
[13:08] <Mike1> cdbs: no other OSes available (except some linux distros ;) )
[13:08] <Mike1> damex: allready tried, no reaction either
[13:08] <cdbs> Mike1: hmm, then, I can't think of any way, ask the others
[13:09] <Mike1> sometimes the key works when sliding over the whole keyboard row quickly
[13:09] <Muphrid> maybe its an alsa issue?
[13:09] <mstfsnr> abhijit, what i am trying to do is, trying to get my internal 3g modem to work under ubuntu 10.04
[13:09] <damex> Mike1: probably say bye to the key
[13:09] <damex> :)
[13:10] <Makakut> hi
[13:10] <Mike1> damex: yeah, my gut tells me it’s a hardware defect :(

[13:13] <Makakut> but afert reboot tearing is coming back
[13:13] <nirazio> Is there a way to show the history of installed packages that were installed by apt-get via commandline?

[13:16] <Mike1> Makakut: maybe set the option in the xorg.conf (or whatever the current way to set X-options is)
[13:16] <oCean> nirazio: I don't believe apt-get has such option. You might use the /var/log/dpkg.log logfiles to examine

[13:33] <bullgard4> bazhang:  I do not know very well the terminus technicus "to pin". I want to keep this kernel version even if Update Manager tries to update my kernel version.
[13:33] <oCean> duke_: --accept ana*pdf maybe? I find plenty examples if I try google..
[13:33] <bazhang> !pinning | bullgard4
[13:34] <jetscreamer> and what's the savedefault equiv in grub2, or grub-pc the package seems to be named
[13:34] <bazhang> bullgard4, thats not a good idea with a kernel though
[13:35] <bullgard4> bazhang: I need to keep the compiled-in Linux kernel module. Otherwise I will loose it and need to compile again. This I would like to prevent.
[13:35] <crawler> dezine, just wondering how it went with awn and/or compiz.  did you get the fix you needed?
[13:35] <jetscreamer> lose? just add to grub menu boot when wanted
[13:35] <jetscreamer> the kernel won't go anywhere unless you delete it
[13:36] <sidewalk> anyone know how to make a network-manager connection auto connect, without logging in?
[13:36] <bullgard4> jetscreamer: You are wrong. Update Manager will update kernel versions automatically.
[13:36] <grumete> if I upgrade my system is there a risk to lose any data? 10.04 to 10.10
[13:36] <bazhang> grumete, sure
[13:36] <jetscreamer> i didn't say it wouldn't get updated
[13:37] <jetscreamer> i said it won't get deleted

[13:37] <bazhang> grumete, always have backups, just in case
[13:37] <jetscreamer> chmod +x maybe
[13:37] <bullgard4> jetscreamer: I noted your speech well. But this does not help against loosing this particular module.
[13:37] <crawler> sidewalk, i think if you don't use a passowrd (blank) it will use unsafe storage and won't ask for a pass when connecting.

[13:42] <AbhiJit> BezNalogov, ok
[13:42] <shcherbak> drt27272: All I know about earth: there is sneaky way to install it.

[13:42] <BluesKaj> terminal
[13:43] <drt27272> how come no one looks at the pastebin i posted????   BluesKaj
[13:43] <jetscreamer> i looked.. after :/
[13:45] <BluesKaj> drt27272, yeah , cd to the  dir , then do the ./googleearth-bin
[13:45] <aioobe> crawler: Hum. That worked (but I needed to select the partition, and click mount for it to show up in /media, isn't there some daemon that does this automatically when I plug in the drive?
[13:46] <crawler> aioobe: what version ubuntu are you using
[13:46] <aioobe> 10.10 maverick
[13:46]  * drt27272 stabs BluesKaj i tried that see the pastebin
[13:49] <crawler> aioobe: is it a windows partition
[13:49] <BluesKaj> drt27272, I saw your pastebin , try ~/./googleearth-bin
[13:50] <AbhiJit> !backtrack > shashi
[13:50] <drt27272> BluesKaj: same error, even with /./ in the command

[13:51] <BluesKaj> drt27272, ok right click on the file proprties /permissions/make exectable
[13:51] <mun_> how do i find the mountpoint for swap?
[13:51] <mun_> in fstab i only have the UUID
[13:52] <BluesKaj> drt27272,is the file in your /home/user dir?
[13:52] <crawler> mun_: sudo fdisk -l
[13:52] <oneliner> how can i know the word length of the kernel i am currently running?
[13:53] <mun_> crawler, my fdisk doesn't seem to have -l
[13:53] <mun_> crawler, sorry it actually does.
[13:53] <mun_> ok thanks
[13:53] <drt27272> BluesKaj: the answer to both those questions is in the pastebin please dont try to help anymore
[13:56] <jetscreamer> there is no mountpoint
[13:56] <BluesKaj> drt27272, you're using the wrong commands , but I'll stay out of it .

[14:01] <spydon> mun_: what does fdisk -l say?
[14:01] <the_dark_warrio> I'm trying to access my brother's computer, which is a Windows 7. But Ubuntu keeps asking for a password, which was not the case 2 days ago. I'm trying to enter my brother's password but it is not working either. Any hints?
[14:02] <mun_> spydon, after deleting my swap, i get http://pastebin.com/GVVtiK99
[14:02] <spydon> the_dark_warrio: with which protocol are you trying to access his computer?
[14:03] <spydon> mun_: hmm okay... Have you tried fsck?
[14:03] <the_dark_warrio> spydon: I think it is smb. I access by clicking in Places > Network, than I try to enter SPOCK, which is my brother's computer name.
[14:03] <mun_> spydon, no, but should i run that on livecd?
[14:03] <qdii> I've just installed ubuntu on a netbook for a friend, but clutter seems to crash (I can see nothing but the desktop, and .xsession-errors indicates error with OpenGL)
[14:03] <spydon> mun_: preferably
[14:03] <aioobe> crawler: yes, I believe so... does that matter?
[14:03] <qdii> is there a way from command line to disable mutter and run metacity ?
[14:03] <mun_> ok i shall make myself one then
[14:04] <mun_> thanks
[14:04] <spydon> the_dark_warrio: are you sure he haven't changed the rights of the shared folders?
[14:04] <Cavisty^gerber> yoyo
[14:04] <pksadiq> qdii try metacity --replace &
[14:05] <oneliner> any recomends on php editing suites? at least anything a wee bit more advanced than gphpedit?
[14:05] <bullgard4> bazhang: I will try to do some snooping why Apt pinning of kernel packages is no good idea.
[14:05] <pksadiq> !vi | oneliner
[14:05] <the_dark_warrio> spydon: Yes, but hey, it's a windows =P . I've figured the problem was happening when I couldn't use the printer anymore, since it is shared from his Windows
[14:05] <qdii> which DISPLAY is X running on by default ?
[14:05] <qdii> :0 ?
[14:06] <the_dark_warrio> spydon: I will try to configure his Windows a little bit more

[14:17] <BluesKaj> drt27272, ok I checked pastebin , nowcheck the site I posted , and I have google earth installed successfully , following that tutorial , if you're interested in actually installing it
[14:17] <Thynix> I've having a bizzare audio problem with Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit. My card shows up under aplay -l as HDA ATI SB and lspci as ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia. All configuration utilities indicate the sound is enabled.

[14:17] <pradeep> hello all
[14:17] <Idol_Mind> Take 2.... How do I make grub start completely over and rescan for OSes and such?
[14:18] <Thynix> However, if the sound doesn't work, it won't work unless I reboot into Windows 7 and back.
see my personal message
[14:18] <Guest90549> on ur
[14:18] <acemo> is 5GB enough for a default ubuntu installation?
[14:19] <prince12> what is the port no. of xmpp protocal?
[14:19] <Thynix> Idol_Mind: sudo update-grub ?
[14:20] <spydon> the_dark_warrio: how do you access it, from nautilus? Have you tried in diffrent ways?
[14:20] <Idol_Mind> Thynix, AHA! Thank you! Jeez.. been searching google and the docs for over an hour... Plenty of pages about how to restore grub AFTER a Win7 install... nothing about an image restore...
[14:21] <the_dark_warrio> spydon: I've tried from nautilus in two ways: by double clicking on my brother's computer and by typing his ip address smb://<ip address> . In both ways nautilus asks his password
[14:21] <dusf> even though sound works with other software like gnome player or wine whenever something else is using the sound vlc won't have any and gives the error "Potential ALSA version problem: VLC failed to initialize your sound output device (if any). Please update alsa-lib to version 1.0.23-2-g8d80d5f or higher to try to fix this issue." is the upgrade really required if sound works fine sometimes? audio seems to break everytime i upgrade ubuntu (current 10.10) and
[14:22] <sidewalk> how can i make network manager connect to the devices i need, without logging in?
[14:22] <spydon> the_dark_warrio: if you write smb://<ip address>/<folder> then?
[14:22] <the_dark_warrio> spydon: I will try
[14:22] <spydon> Where <folder> is some existing folder that he is sharing

[14:26] <Aruzsi> Hi, Where is the Intrepid repo? I didn't find. us and hu gave me: 404 Not found. :-(
[14:27] <Oer> !intrepid
[14:27] <oCean> Aruzsi: 810 is eol
[14:27] <Oer> Aruzi it is done.
[14:28] <Aruzsi> Oer: So was it removed?
[14:28] <gobbe> Aruzsi: yep
[14:28] <gobbe> Aruzsi: you need to upgrade
[14:28] <the_dark_warrio> spydon: no success either =P
[14:28] <Aruzsi> gobbe: :-(
[14:29] <Aruzsi> gobbe: Is there any other solution? I can't upgrade.
[14:29] <harjot> Hi guys, just wondering, on an older laptop with about 512mb of ram, would ubuntu 8.04 run faster or ubuntu 10.04 or whatever the latest release is? Because with kubuntu theres too many graphical effects for a old lappy
[14:30] <Aruzsi> gobbe: I just wanted NAGIOS NRPE package.
[14:30] <Oer> Aruzsi, maybe you can change the mirror to http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/pculture.org/miro/linux/repositories/ubuntu/intrepid/
[14:30] <djszapi> arrow buttons do not work in finch, any idea/hint ?
[14:30] <Oer> Aruzsi, sorry that url is incorrect
[14:30] <gobbe> Aruzsi: well. it's out of support, you can compile it if you want but you should upgrade it, you cannot even get security updates anymore
[14:30] <gobbe> Aruzsi: so you shouldn't use that kind of server anywhere
[14:30] <oCean> Oer: that's probably a repo for one specific package
[14:31] <Aruzsi> gobbe: It is in production env.
[14:31] <Aruzsi> gobbe: It is working like a charm.
[14:31] <Oer> oCean, yes, found that without looking carefully :(
[14:31] <gobbe> Aruzsi: you shouldnt run old os in production, that's huge security risk
[14:32] <djszapi> every other buttons work perfectly, but no arrows
[14:32] <djszapi> kinda weird.
[14:32] <Aruzsi> gobbe: It is an internal server.
[14:32] <Aruzsi> gobbe: It isn't on the Net.
[14:33] <gobbe> Aruzsi: still....
[14:33] <Aruzsi> gobbe: We are using SuSE 7.3 in these day because the app not too portable on newer OSes.
[14:33] <Aruzsi> gobbe: It won't.
[14:33] <gobbe> Aruzsi: so your only option is either to try find out debs from somewhere or just compile it yourself
[14:34] <gobbe> Aruzsi: but both ones are bad, since you are running unsupported os
[14:34] <Aruzsi> gobbe: Yes, you're right but I have to use those OSes.
[14:35] <gobbe> Aruzsi: well then you don't have many options
[14:35] <Aruzsi> gobbe: I understand. I'm very sad. :-(
[14:36] <Aruzsi> gobbe: I thought I found the last packages on the net. It is just 1 year "old" (EOL)
[14:36] <gobbe> Aruzsi: yep
[14:36] <Aruzsi> gobbe: Thanks for your information!
[14:38] <Guest90549> hello

[14:39] <marc-andre> hi everyone
[14:39] <marin> ya quelquun
[14:40] <forward> HI
[14:40] <marc-andre> i fail in ubiquity to reach step 4, syslog gives the following : http://pastebin.com/Rxt4X08q
[14:40] <marin> hi
[14:41] <Guest55723> hi
[14:41] <ahmetalpbalkan> guys I couldn't install the cube thing (compiz) to my ubuntu. can anyone tell me how to install that?
[14:41] <the_dark_warrio> spydon: thanks for you help! I will lurker a bit more. Cya
[14:42] <spydon> the_dark_warrio: no problem, hope you solve it! C ya
[14:42] <ahmetalpbalkan> does anyone know how to install compiz cube?
[14:43] <Galvatron> ahmetalpbalkan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion
[14:43] <ahmetalpbalkan> Galvatron: I am in compizconfig now.  I check Compiz Cube but don't know how to use it
[14:44] <EnergySpirit> hi the process "grub-probe" and "grub-pc.postinst" are frozen and they cannot be closed. help me, i need to resinstall grub or i wont be able to use this pc again!
[14:44] <ahmetalpbalkan> Galvatron: maybe I just could not figure out the rotation shortcut key
[14:44] <Galvatron> Most likely
[14:45] <Galvatron> Make sure you have active Viewport Switcher
[14:45] <ahmetalpbalkan> Galvatron: what is your viewport switcher key
[14:45] <ahmetalpbalkan> can you tell it please?
[14:46] <ahmetalpbalkan> Galvatron: and I am not sure how many desktops do I have now. it seems 1
[14:46] <EnergySpirit> never mind i fixed it
[14:47] <ahmetalpbalkan> My expo plugin shows that I have only 1 desktop
[14:48] <ahmetalpbalkan> I can't increase number of desktops in general part of compizconfig. why??
[14:48] <Galvatron> General options > Desktop size
[14:49] <ahmetalpbalkan> hmm okay lets do it 2x2
[14:49] <Galvatron> You must set horizontal to 4 and vertical to 1
[14:49] <Stigbo> do you guys know if 10.10 supports Belkin Wirless Adaptors?
[14:49] <ahmetalpbalkan> Galvatron: did it and number of desktops is still disabled to 1
[14:50] <Galvatron> It's OK
[14:50] <marc-andre> is the easypeasy interface a homebrewed one or the original UNR interface ?
[14:50] <Galvatron> All you must do is set the parameters above it to 4 and 1
[14:51] <ahmetalpbalkan> Galvatron: okay.
[14:51] <crazy_8> can i allocate some of my ram for swap,
[14:51] <Galvatron> Horizontal Virtual Size: 4, Vertical Virtual Size: 1
[14:51] <ahmetalpbalkan> Galvatron: http://i52.tinypic.com/8xvmhl.jpg
[14:51] <KM0201> crazy_8: i don't think so.
[14:51] <TomShatt> Help! How to watch anime .mkv with seperated OP and ED files!? On vieos you just check Haali -> "Try to open linked files = YES". What to do on Ubuntu!? :D
[14:52] <TomShatt> On windows* you just...
[14:52] <gobbe> TomShatt: vlc?
[14:52] <crazy_8> use ram swap in place of disk swap ram is in nano sec, disk is in mili seconds...
[14:52] <TomShatt> Vlc starts play video again
[14:52] <ahmetalpbalkan> Galvatron: then I enabled http://i54.tinypic.com/f3evis.jpg
[14:52] <KM0201> gobbe: i've watched mkv files in vlc lots of times,... but never with "linked files".. dunno on that one
[14:52] <TomShatt> He reaches point where OP starts and starts to play again from begginging.
[14:53] <gobbe> KM0201: wrogn person ? ;)
[14:53] <mamatcyber> hello everyone! how can i expand partition /dev/loop0 size on my ubuntu ( 10.04 ) ? does anyone here can help me?
[14:53] <Galvatron> Now, all you need to do is binding the cube to some key, prefereably to the middle one of the mouse
[14:53] <TomShatt> I don't know what to change in VLC's options. =/
[14:53] <KM0201> gobbe: no, you made a suggestion of VLC, and i was just saying why i didn't think vlc would work
[14:54] <ahmetalpbalkan> Galvatron: where is the name of that binding exactly?
[14:54] <TomShatt> VLC just starts to play video again from the begining instead of showing me OP or/and ED of episode.
[14:54] <TomShatt> I believe it has to do something with Codecs.
[14:54] <ahmetalpbalkan> Galvatron: I mean is it in desktopcube or  rotatecube?
[14:55] <TomShatt> nobody met same problem?
[14:56] <mamatcyber> does any one can help me?
[14:56] <Galvatron> Rtate Cube > Bindings > Rotate cube > Initiate
[14:56] <KM0201> TomShatt: google suggests its a fairly common question, but i see no solution.
[14:57] <TomShatt> KM0201: same.. no solution for linux, but same solution for windows.
[14:58] <Galvatron> But you would be better sticking to Expo (in 2x2 configuration) and bindig it to on of screen corners (Expo > Expo edge)
[14:58] <Galvatron> *to one of screen corners
[14:58] <Galvatron> This way it is much faster than rotating the cube
[14:59] <JNZ> With 18 GB of RAM, do I really need a swap partition on a desktop installation?
[14:59] <ahmetalpbalkan> Galvatron: thx!
[14:59] <KM0201> JNZ: highly unlikely... don't know about now days, but the installer used to complain w/ ominous warnings if you didn't create one.. i'm assuming with that much memory, you're not lacking hard drive space, so make a 3gig swap, and call it a day
[15:00] <ozstr1ker> yo ubuntu users can someone tell me why empathy don't want to login me correct with my password & why it not response on command: /msg NickServ Identify <pass> ??? waf
[15:00] <KM0201> ozstr1ker: cuz empathy sucks as an irc client... :)
[15:00] <geirha> JNZ: If you want to be able to hibernate, you need a swap >= physical mem
[15:00] <ozstr1ker> hm
[15:00] <KM0201> geirha: even w 16gigs?... i dunno
[15:00] <JNZ> I really don't care about hibernation, which is why I'm here wondering if it'll negatively impact anything else.
[15:01] <JNZ> KM0201: Yeah, since it suspends to disk.
[15:01] <JNZ> So it writes the contents of RAM to disk.
[15:01] <ozstr1ker> KM0201 :-!  but it's simple
[15:01] <KM0201> ozstr1ker: well, so is xchat-gnome and xchat(to a lesser degree)
[15:01] <KM0201> and they don't suck
[15:01] <Galvatron> JNZ: You don't really need a SWAP with 1GB or more
[15:02] <JNZ> I've been told this, Galvatron.
[15:02] <Galvatron> Let alone as much as 16GB
[15:02] <geirha> KM0201: When you hibernate, it copies the content of RAM into swap, then reverse when you resume.
[15:02] <KM0201> ic
[15:02] <ozstr1ker> KM0201 :-S  so there is no hope to use empathy all in one to work properly?
[15:03] <KM0201> ozstr1ker: i'm assuming there's hope.. but it's really more an application issue, than an ubuntu issue.
[15:03] <JNZ> Galvatron: 18, heh.
[15:04] <DarsVaeda> hi I want to convert a rpm with alien, it says the deb was created but i can not find it?
[15:04] <Galvatron> If you have at least 768MB of RAM, you don't need more than 256MB of SWAP
[15:04] <ozstr1ker> have another q. how can i browse my hardware from console what magic command to use?
[15:05] <dusf> even though sound works with other software like gnome player or wine whenever something else is using the sound vlc won't have any and gives the error "Potential ALSA version problem: VLC failed to initialize your sound output device (if any). Please update alsa-lib to version 1.0.23-2-g8d80d5f or higher to try to fix this issue." is the upgrade really required if sound works fine sometimes? audio seems to break everytime i upgrade ubuntu (current 10.10) and
[15:05] <Galvatron> JNZ: So don't make something as monstrous as a 3GB SWAP
[15:05] <JNZ> Heh. Yeah, I'm going to go without one. Thanks.
[15:06] <Danne-> Had a power failure last night, and now locales seems broken, any clue about what to do? 'locale' output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/554380/
[15:06] <JNZ> A few people are saying "Don't bother". Just wondering if anyone (including these other people) had any argument other than "you have enough RAM" :p
[15:06] <Galvatron> i'm spaking out of experience
[15:06] <Galvatron> I have just 768MB and more SWAP is unnecessary

[15:09] <asiekierka> also you mean
[15:09] <ozstr1ker> ok i knew it)
[15:09] <kurtcobain> yes i know
[15:10] <asiekierka> "Could you please tell me what's a good, free and fast antivirus for [OS here], please?"
[15:10] <breadcrumb> ozstr1ker ubuntu does not require an anti-virus
[15:10] <asiekierka> i use ubuntu too
[15:10] <BluesKaj> mmol , update the packages them  and it won't delay your login the next time you ssh
[15:10] <asiekierka> Ralink chipsets, i HATE you.
[15:10] <Galvatron> ozstr1ker: You don't need any, unless you have a server communicating with Windows-based clients and holding Windows stuff (i.e. mail)
[15:10] <ozstr1ker> but i've got virus on my flash drive
[15:10] <asiekierka> is it a windows virus or a linux virus
[15:11] <ozstr1ker> ok thx for help
[15:11] <BluesKaj> !virus | asiekierka,
[15:11] <asiekierka> yes, because the Linux viruses are few and far between
[15:11] <asiekierka> unlike Windows
[15:11] <sandhu> i m using internet on ubuntu how much it is  safe
[15:11] <BluesKaj> sandhu, read above
[15:11] <ozstr1ker> useing samba and many information transfer by flash drive
[15:12] <KM0201> asiek506: avast is good for both Linux and Windows... but really Linux viruses are only useful if you are filesharing w/ windows machines, and don't want to pass on nonsense to them.
[15:12] <KM0201> asiek506: whats wrong w/ your realtek
[15:12] <ozstr1ker> asiekierka thanks
[15:12] <BluesKaj> ozstr1ker, then have your drive scanned by an antivirus when you plug it into a window OS
[15:12] <amanda_> Ok, I need help
[15:13] <ChrisDruif> KM0201: And even if you do...those windows machines got scanners installed for that...right? ;)
[15:13] <sandhu> in windows we delete temp files    but in ubuntu what we  can do
[15:13] <ChrisDruif> !ask | amanda_
[15:13] <KM0201> ChrisDruif: wel yeah, but... you have to assume your friends/co-workers are retarded, and will ignore their virus software...  so if you're passing something along, i'd rather verify its clean before hand
[15:14] <sandhu> in windows we delete temp files    but in ubuntu what we  can do
[15:14] <ChrisDruif> KM0201: Most of my friends ARE retards....they use Windows :P
[15:14] <KM0201> :)
[15:14] <KM0201> ChrisDruif: thats probably more brainwashed, than retarded
[15:14] <uth> hello
[15:15] <uth> I still have problem with y sound on Ubuntu 10.4
[15:15] <uth> I have no sound
[15:15] <KM0201> uth: well, thats because ubuntu 10.4 doesn't exist.. you're using an unknown version
[15:15] <sandhu> in windows we delete temp files    but in ubuntu what we  can do
[15:15] <uth> 10.04
[15:16] <uth> Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Manhattan HDMI Audio [Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series]
[15:16] <KM0201> sandhu: look in /tmp
[15:16] <ApolloXVI> uth: maybe you should upgrade first
[15:16] <uth> Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
[15:16] <sandhu> what this  is command
[15:17] <sandhu> where we have  to run this command
[15:17] <uth> ApolloXVI, why upgarde is I had chose an LTS distro ?
[15:17] <JNZ> And what do you guys think about the whole partitioning plan of: 100 MB for boot, 75 GB for root directory, and the rest (150 GB) for the home directories?
[15:17] <aeon-ltd> sandhu: why? temp files are usually cleared after reboot
[15:17] <amanda_>  just installed 10.10 on my gateway laptop, the install was from a burned iso I got from the ubuntu website and for a few days my wifi worked fine.  Then midway through the day yesterday, my wifi light turned off and the "enable wifi" option has been greyed out.  Any suggestons?
[15:18] <sandhu> reboot means
[15:18] <KM0201> uth: http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1467628
[15:18] <ApolloXVI> uth: ok
[15:18] <sandhu> reboot means     is it happen  only in linux
[15:18] <mike1421> is this the right place for help my bootable usb disk of ubuntu not showing up in mac os x at boot?
[15:18] <andycc> amanda_, do you have some kind of wifi switch on your laptop?
[15:18] <amanda_> No
[15:18] <KM0201> uth: LTS, doesn't mean it's alwasy the most up to date, there's a big difference
[15:19] <asyraff> help me...why my linux does not detect my pendrive????
[15:19] <uth> yes KM0201 but do I need to upgrade if it isn't necessery ?
[15:19] <sandhu> pl tell me     what reboot means ?    is it happen  only in linux
[15:19] <erUSUL> amanda_: check the output of « sudo rfkill list all »
[15:19] <KM0201> uth: well, your sound isn't working...
[15:20] <amanda_> ok, brb
[15:20] <asyraff> help me...why my linux does not detect my pendrive?????
[15:20] <ubuntu> siema
[15:20] <oCean> !pl | ubuntu
[15:20] <andycc> asyraff, don't ask so often. What pendrive is it, exactly?
[15:20] <andycc> (i.e. make & model)
[15:21] <uth> but KM0201do you think it is necessery for my problem ?
[15:21] <asyraff> andycc: owh...sorry...model: kingston...make??
[15:21] <uth> I have Alsa 1.0.23
[15:22] <KM0201> uth: i don't know... if your sound isn't working w/ alsa 1.0.23   and sound is important to you, then you need to figure out what is wrong... that's a fairly enw chipset, so I would runt he live cd of 10.10, and see if my sound worked
[15:22] <amanda_> Soft blocked no Hard blocked yes
[15:22] <KM0201> uth: both threads i've saw on this, suggests alsa 1.0.23 fixes the problem... are you using 32 or 64bit
[15:22] <FUMOS> hello everyone on #ubuntu
[15:22] <jeaton> i just installed ubuntu 10.04, is there something I can install to allow me to watch dvds off of mplayer
[15:23] <jeaton> or play mp3 files?
[15:23] <KM0201> jeaton: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras   for mp3
[15:23] <KM0201> !dvd | jeaton after that, follow these instructions for DVD playback
[15:23] <andycc> jeaton: ...and everything else (mpeg/dvd/etc)
[15:23] <asyraff> hurm2...
[15:23] <KM0201> andycc: lol, i was trying to be brief
[15:23] <amanda_> sorry I forgot, above that it says wireless LAN
[15:23] <coz_> jeaton,    also run this command      sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[15:24] <FUMOS> I have a problem watching a .mpg file, it seems to give the least problems in Gnome MPlayer, does anyone here by chance have knowledge of codecs here or something?
[15:24] <KM0201> coz_: that's detailed in the !dvd link... but you can't "just run that command" pretty sure you have to install libdvdread4
[15:24] <mistergibson> Question : besides using VMs, is there a way to tell linux to run a process on a specific core (in a multicore system) ?
[15:24] <KM0201> FUMOS: just download vlc  it'll probably work fine
[15:24] <andycc> FUMOS: what kind of problems do you have?
[15:24] <FUMOS> in MPlayer is gives the error message: Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[15:24] <coz_> KM0201,  mm no   I run that all the time with no issues   as far as I know it is installed
[15:25] <FUMOS> doesn't work in VLC unfortunately :(
[15:25] <asyraff> help me...why my linux does not detect my pendrive?????
[15:25] <KM0201> hmm
[15:25] <amanda_> Any suggestions?
[15:25] <coz_> McDuck1,
[15:25] <McDuck1> ?
[15:25] <coz_> FUMOS,   I generally open synaptic  search for vlc  and install all vlc packages
[15:25] <KM0201> coz_: then it (libdvdread4) must be installed out of the box now
[15:25] <coz_> FUMOS,  seems to work so far with all  formats
[15:26] <coz_> KM0201,  seems to be... i could be wrong however that command always works even on ubuntu 11.04
[15:26] <JNZ> Does the latest Ubuntu's partition manager have a way to resize existing partitions to create new unallocated space?
[15:26] <Ubunewb> hey everyone, has anyone had issues with artefacts with catalyst 10.12 that only go away when you scroll?
[15:26] <FUMOS> I think I've got all vlc packages but I'll check software center and synaptics to be sure, brb
[15:26] <KM0201> coz_: it works, if libdvdread4 is installed.. if it's not.. it won't work
[15:26] <overdub> asyraff, do you see it when you do: lshw -C disk
[15:26] <andycc> JNZ, are you talking about gparted or the ubuntu installer partitioner?
[15:26] <coz_> KM0201,   it works  :)
[15:26] <ciss> hi, running linux mint 10 with vino as vnc server, how do i configure vino to listen on other routes besides localhost?
[15:26] <KM0201> !mint | ciss
[15:27] <JNZ> andycc: The ubuntu installer partitioner
[15:27] <JNZ> gparted can definitely do it :p
[15:27] <gobbe> KM0201: aah, ok
[15:27] <amanda_> ?
[15:28] <asyraff> overdub: it only shows cdrom...
[15:28] <oCean> mistergibson: normally linux is designed to make threads "wander" the various cores (not designed to be a "RT" or realtime operating system) You might want to search/google for cpu "affinity", you might find some options
[15:28] <mistergibson> oCean : thanks :)
[15:28] <amanda_>  just installed 10.10 on my gateway laptop, the install was from a burned iso I got from the ubuntu website and for a few days my wifi worked fine.  Then midway through the day yesterday, my wifi light turned off and the "enable wifi" option has been greyed out.  Any suggestons?
[15:28] <overdub> asyraff, no hard drives, that can't be right
[15:29] <KM0201> amanda_: what is your wifi device would be good information
[15:29] <oCean> mistergibson: sure. I find that there are only very few options, never got it to work the way I hoped.
[15:29] <amanda_> Belkin 32
[15:29] <tgp1994> Hi everyone. I'm having a hell of a time (on ubuntu) with wireless networking right now. Wicd freezes all of the time, network-manager just doesn't work period, and iwconfig can get it working most of the way, although I still can't ping my residential gateway or access the greater internet. Does anyone know what I can do?
[15:29] <asyraff> overdub: it says that...you should run this program as super-user...what does it mean?
[15:29] <uth> KM0201 my chipset is AMD Phenom(tm) II X2 550 Processor, I don't know more
[15:29] <KM0201> amanda_: is it a USB, or a pci, or what?... need more info than just that
[15:29] <andycc> amanda_, type "lspci | grep Network" into a terminal and paste the output here
[15:30] <overdub> asyraff,  try sudo before the command
[15:30] <KM0201> uth: what do you mean?...
[15:30] <amanda_> whata pci?
[15:30] <uth> KM0201, 64 or 32 ?
[15:30] <alberto> Good afternoon from Spain.
[15:30] <overdub> asyraff, sudo lshw -C disk
[15:30] <amanda_> (sorry kinda a noob)
[15:30] <KM0201> amanda_: is it an internal wifi device, or a usb wifi device
[15:30] <KM0201> uth: how much ram does your pc have?
[15:30] <FUMOS> hmmm... all packages that have not yet been installed for vlc seem to be this phonon thing and some sdl video thing
[15:30] <asyraff> overdub: it shows my harddisk and cdrom
[15:30] <alberto> Does anybody know what I have to do to install ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 drivers on Ubuntu 10.10?
[15:30] <szpreader> hi, can someone tell me how to use gmount?
[15:31] <amanda_> the wifi card is internal yes I am using a belkin wifi router
[15:31] <overdub> asyraff, but not the pendrive?
[15:31] <asyraff> overdub: yup
[15:31] <KM0201> amanda_: the router is irrelevant... open a terminal and type "lspci" no quotes, and hit enter... and find your wifi device...  don't paste the whole list in the channel
[15:31] <Ubunewb> alberto, do you mean the proprietary drives?
[15:32] <overdub> asyraff, might be some hardware problem then, bad cable, or something.
[15:32] <Kranix> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1667701
[15:32] <overdub> asyraff, or it's not plugged in
[15:32] <JNZ> DamnYouGrub: Having issues with GRUB today? :p
[15:32] <DamnYouGrub> hey does someone have a second to help me with a problem googling wasn't able to help me with?
[15:32] <KM0201> uth: if you don't know which to choose, just choose 32bit... it's safe on anything.
[15:32] <DamnYouGrub> JNZ: yes
[15:33] <asyraff> overdub: i've checked the log files...it shows that it is plugged in...but didnt the detect the pendrive...
[15:33] <mistergibson> oCean : found this (for future reference) : http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/setting-processor-affinity-certain-task-or-process.html

[15:33] <taz> yes?
[15:33] <mistergibson> oCean : thanks for your quick reply - lead me right to what I needed ... cheers
[15:34] <perferta> hi all! can you please tell me how to use gmount?
[15:34] <DamnYouGrub> I know Ubuntu uses a script that updates the grub boot order when the system restarts after applying updates but I seriously hate editing my grub.cfg file every time I apply updates so I was wondering if there is a way to disable that
[15:34] <Kranix> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1667701, need help on this...
[15:34] <KM0201> uth: what are you trying to do?... i thought you said you alread upgraded alsa
[15:34] <FUMOS> my problems are with a file that is supposed to be in the ffmpeg2 codec, should I install vlc-plugin-sdl and phonon-backend-vlc anyway? @ KM0201 andycc and coz_
[15:34] <VCoolio> perferta: 'man gmount' in terminal?
[15:34] <gobbe> DamnYouGrub: proper way is do it from /etc/grub.d
[15:35] <gobbe> DamnYouGrub: then you don't edit any files
[15:35] <KM0201> FUMOS: i honestly don't know... bu tit's cheap to try.. :)
[15:35] <perferta> it has gui
[15:35] <coz_> FUMOS,   I install all vlc packages  and I believe ffmpeg  installs along with that
[15:35] <uth> yes KM0201 so what can I do now ?
[15:35] <asyraff> overdub: is it because of drivers?
[15:35] <perferta> what to write in "Mount point"
[15:35] <perferta> ?
[15:35] <DamnYouGrub> gobbe: never done that before can you explain that?
[15:35] <KM0201> uth: yes what?   you have alsa 1.0.23, and your sound still isn't working?
[15:35] <gobbe> DamnYouGrub: what you are editing to grub.cfg?
[15:35] <coz_> perferta,   well first you set a mount point I generally just use a folder on the desktop
[15:36] <tgp1994> Hi everyone. I'm having a hell of a time (on ubuntu) with wireless networking right now. Wicd freezes all of the time, network-manager just doesn't work period, and iwconfig can get it working most of the way, although I still can't ping my residential gateway or access the greater internet. Does anyone know what I can do?
[15:36] <amanda_> And Im currently on the laptop on a wired connction
[15:36] <DamnYouGrub> gobbe: I just remove the new instances it puts in there every time
[15:36] <el_magnifico> bonjour
[15:36] <gobbe> DamnYouGrub: eh...you remove new kernels? why?
[15:36] <KM0201> amanda_: install the b43 drive for that device... i just helped someone w/ it yesterday
[15:36] <DamnYouGrub> gobbe: it puts two more instances of ubuntu in my boot order screen every time
[15:36] <coz_> perferta,   then  click "mount"  and direct to the ISO image
[15:36] <KM0201> !broadcom | amanda_
[15:36] <uth> KM0201,  yes.  My hardware is too new ?
[15:36] <amanda_> can I get it from the download center?
[15:36] <DamnYouGrub> gobbe: after running updates around 6 times now I have to scroll wayyyyy down to find Windows or any other partitions
[15:36] <gobbe> DamnYouGrub: when your system has new kernel (due security updates etc) it adds it there
[15:36] <overdub> asyraff, it should be detected, i can't help any further, good luck
[15:37] <KM0201> uth: ... i'd suggest trying 10.10.. id on't know how much more clear i can be, but all those posts, suggest upgrading to alsa will fix it
[15:37] <Kranix> No one knows how to fix my problem?
[15:37] <perferta> thank you coz_
[15:37] <KM0201> amanda_: follo the instructions on that link for the b43 driver.. if you're hooked up to the internet, it's very easy
[15:37] <DamnYouGrub> gobbe: yes I know but why would i want to boot into a previous kernel pre-updates?
[15:37] <coz_> perferta,   here is a quick how to   http://en.kioskea.net/faq/9086-ubuntu-mounting-iso-files-with-gmount
[15:37] <gobbe> DamnYouGrub: you could remove old kernels so they will be removed also
[15:37] <amanda_> k, I'll give it a shot, thanks
[15:38] <tgp1994> Kranix: I'd recommend using a gui partioner.
[15:38] <DamnYouGrub> gobbe: I just remove them from the grub.cfg file so they're still there I just want a clean boot screen
[15:38] <DamnYouGrub> gobbe: I just want to choose Ubuntu, Ubuntu safe mode, Windows 7, or Win 7 safe mode
[15:38] <Kranix> I'd like a link to one then.
[15:38] <DamnYouGrub> gobbe: I don't need 12 other ubuntu options in there
[15:39] <DamnYouGrub> gobbe: and EVERY GODDAMN TIME i apply updates I have to spend 10 minutes fixing that file and restarting
[15:39] <FUMOS> while it's installing I guess I'll copy paste what I got in the terminal while playing it on mplayer using the command "mplayer -vo xv videoname.mpg" @ KM0201 andycc and coz_
[15:39] <gobbe> DamnYouGrub: uninstall old kernels and it will fix it
[15:39] <DamnYouGrub> from where
[15:39] <WaltherFI> DamnYouGrub: in grub, there is this maxentries
[15:39] <WaltherFI> maximum entry limit
[15:39] <tgp1994> Kranix: Well, you can start by installing gparted.
[15:39] <KM0201> DamnYouGrub: i would cuss about it more, that will surely fix it

[15:40] <lynxomania> something wrong with GRUB2???
[15:40] <DamnYouGrub> sorry im angry
[15:40] <KM0201> DamnYouGrub: uninstall the kernel in synaptic, then run sudo update-grub2   it's not that difficult
[15:40] <uth> I thank you for your advice KM0201
[15:40] <KM0201> DamnYouGrub: well, y ou come up looking like an idiot whne you talk like that
[15:41] <DamnYouGrub> i only cussed once?
[15:41] <WaltherFI> DamnYouGrub: so, there is this max_entries
[15:41] <KM0201> DamnYouGrub: doesn't matter, its not necessary... and second, it's against the channel rules
[15:41] <KM0201> DamnYouGrub: and the fact you only done it once, doesn't mean you're less of an idiot
[15:42] <WaltherFI> DamnYouGrub: sudo gedit /etc/default/grub and put a value in the commented max_entries
[15:42] <DamnYouGrub> i'm clearly an idiot which is why I'm here for help?
[15:42] <DamnYouGrub> thanks
[15:42] <KM0201> DamnYouGrub: and i gave you  your answer... whats the issue?
[15:42] <WaltherFI> KM0201: just leave it
[15:43] <Kranix> I'm on /dev/sdb (where my USB is) in GParted, what now?
[15:43] <gobbe> DamnYouGrub: just remove old kernels with synaptic and you are done
[15:43] <KM0201> gobbe: well, you have to update grub... but i've told him that, and he just wants to repeat himself.
[15:43] <WaltherFI> gobbe: it is not a permanent fix
[15:43] <WaltherFI> gobbe: there'll be new kernels
[15:43] <overdub> DamnYouGrub, take a deep breath, walk away from the problem for a while, it's nearly impossible to learn when angry
[15:43] <lynxomania> gobbe: old kernels can be removed from synaptic???
[15:43] <gobbe> WaltherFI: sure, i told him to remove old ones when he gots new
[15:43] <KM0201> lynxomania: of course
[15:44] <tgp1994> Hi everyone. I'm having a hell of a time (on ubuntu) with wireless networking right now. Wicd freezes all of the time, network-manager just doesn't work period, and iwconfig can get it working most of the way, although I still can't ping my residential gateway or access the greater internet. Does anyone know what I can do?
[15:44] <WaltherFI> gobbe: grub has option max_entries
[15:44] <gobbe> WaltherFI: i know, but if you are not using old ones why you should keep them in disk anyway
[15:44] <WaltherFI> gobbe: but his/her problem was having to always to do stuff
[15:44] <lynxomania> wow... lemme try... i've so many old kernels filling up my boot menu... just didnt wanted to take that risk in removing them from grub config
[15:45] <alberto> Ubunewb Yes, sorry.
[15:45] <tgp1994> lynxomania: I think grub automatically does that for you once you uninstall any old kernel.
[15:45] <gobbe> lynxomania: you can remove them with synaptic
[15:45] <WaltherFI> lynxomania: also, grub has max_entries so you can keep your kernels etc
[15:45] <WaltherFI> it limits the boot options it shows
[15:45] <WaltherFI> automatically
 I'm on /dev/sdb (where my USB is) in GParted, what now?
[15:45] <KM0201> lynxomania: do a search in synaptic for "linux-image"... sort by package name... and you'll start seeing linux-image-#-##... uninstall the "old" versions... once they're removed, cloose synaptic and sudo update-grub
[15:46] <gobbe> WaltherFI: that's true also, but max entries doesn't remove old ones filling your disk, if you are not using them why dont just remove :)
[15:46] <lynxomania> i didnt knew old kernels can be uninstalled... the only possibility was removing from grub config... now lemme try it...
[15:46] <tgp1994> Kranix: Now format it with your favorite partition.
[15:46] <WaltherFI> Kranix: what are you up to
[15:46] <Ubunewb> Alberto well did you try going to "system>administration>hardware drivers" ?
[15:46] <necktie> noob here. i want to install a package called kmenc15. but i keep getting E: Unable to locate package kmenc15. can anyone help me?
[15:46] <FUMOS> here is the outcome in the terminal that I tried to post (flooding the chat) http://paste.ubuntu.com/554392/ @ KM0201 andycc and coz_
[15:46] <GRT> verbinding viel weg
[15:46] <KM0201> tgp1994: automatically does what?...
[15:46] <WaltherFI> gobbe: but as you see, this is a support channel where we want to fix problem people have - and his/her problem wasn't running ouy of HD space
[15:47] <Kranix> Walther, check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1667701 for more info.
[15:47] <tgp1994> KM0201: Afaik, grub2 will automatically generate its boot list once you install/remove a kernel.
[15:47] <Ubunewb> alberto although there is a lot of issues with the proprietary drivers for amd...but I have also just started to use ubuntu so..
[15:47] <amanda_> Ok, I'm back with the same problem. it said it already had the latest version
[15:47] <KM0201> tgp1994: not in my experience, but it might... i always run it after removign old kernels.. but you may be right
[15:47] <WaltherFI> Kranix: sorry, on my mobile :/
[15:47] <Ubunewb> is there a German channel ubuntu?
[15:47] <KM0201> !de | Ubunewb
[15:47] <Kranix> Do I just leave the fields as default, except the file system one?
[15:48] <gobbe> WaltherFI: i know purpose of this channel and i'm here to give that support :)
[15:48] <Ubunewb> thanks km0201!
[15:48] <KM0201> :)
[15:48] <necktie> noob here. i want to install a package called kmenc15. but i keep getting E: Unable to locate package kmenc15. can anyone help me?
[15:48] <alberto> Ubunewb I understand... I've tried several things...
[15:48] <WaltherFI> gobbe: yep, me too. Don't want to be offensive, but he/he was angry for always having to clean up the grub - so always removing old kernels is not fixing that
[15:48] <Kranix> Necktie, are you using apt-get install or are you in synaptic?
[15:48] <Kranix> apt-get remove*
[15:49] <FUMOS> I also tried it on a quadcore computer (running windows though) but it had the same issues as MPlayer: constant skipping and pixellation @ KM0201 andycc and coz_
[15:49] <KM0201> necktie: it doesn't appear to be in the repositoories
[15:49] <gobbe> WaltherFI: of course not, correct way would be max entries and removing old ones
[15:49] <necktie> Kranix: apt-get
[15:49] <Kranix> Try searching in Synaptic.
[15:49] <coz_> FUMOS,   which video card are you running?
[15:49] <JoeyA> I'm trying to use the Ubuntu 10.04 live CD, and sudo requires a password :(
[15:49] <KM0201> necktie: what are you trying to install?... because that package is not in the default repos.
[15:49] <andycc> FUMOS, then it's probably some error in the mpg file (if I recall your problem correctly)
[15:49] <JoeyA> (a non-empty password, that is)
[15:49] <KM0201> JoeyA: it shouldn't....
[15:49] <necktie> KM0201: kmenc15
[15:49] <JoeyA> (powerpc)
[15:50] <Ubunewb> albeto so whats the problem?
[15:50] <WaltherFI> JoeyA: try rebooting
[15:50] <Ubunewb> alberto *
[15:50] <KM0201> necktie: why ar eyou trying to install it i mean.. is it a dependency of another package, or what?
[15:50] <necktie> KM0201: can't i add backports or something like that?
[15:50] <WaltherFI> JoeyA: also, if it doesn't still work, the cd might be corrupted
[15:50] <FUMOS> Intel graphics on a laptop @ coz_
[15:50] <lynxomania> new kernels will be installed once we run update manager right??? coz <IP_ADDRESS> is the installed version... i just saw <IP_ADDRESS> in synaptic... wonder why it was not installed when i ran update manager???
[15:50] <KM0201> necktie: i've got all "default" and a bunch of extra repos on my pc, and that package is not in my package manager
[15:50] <necktie> KM0201: i need it to split avi files
[15:50] <amanda_> Ok, I'm back with the same problem. it said it already had the latest version of the b34
[15:51] <FUMOS> I think GMA 950 or GMA X3100 or maybe X4500 @ coz_
[15:51] <WaltherFI> necktie: yes you can add repositories with different packages
[15:51] <BluesKaj> FUMOS, @ doesn't work on irc , this is not an IM , just use the nick you are addressing
[15:51] <JoeyA> WaltherFI: I checked the sha256sum, and downloaded properly.
[15:51] <Kranix> Can't get it to work, no specific error messages...
[15:51] <KM0201> amanda_: is the b43 driver active? (menu... system/admin/additional rivers)
[15:51] <necktie> WaltherFI: cool. how can i add backports?
[15:51] <WaltherFI> FUMOS: do you run compiz?
[15:52] <ChrisDruif> ;ugt
[15:52] <coz_> FUMOS,   in terminal      lspci | grep -i vga
[15:52] <JoeyA> My CD drive could just be messed up, I don't know.
[15:52] <WaltherFI> necktie: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:[name of repository]
[15:52] <FUMOS> yes, WaltherFI
[15:52] <amanda_> there is no additional drivers but there is an option for hardware drivers...
[15:52] <WaltherFI> FUMOS: from compiz configuration, check the General options
[15:52] <KM0201> necktie: i just checked the ubuntu-backports... that package is not there either
[15:52] <WaltherFI> FUMOS: check if you have the correct resolution, refresh rate etc on there
[15:52] <lynxomania> new kernels will be installed once we run update manager right??? coz <IP_ADDRESS> is the installed version... i just saw <IP_ADDRESS> in synaptic... wonder why it was not installed when i ran update manager???
[15:52] <AegNuddel> Is it possible to change my desktop environment?
[15:53] <FUMOS> I still want it to remain in public chat BluesKaj
[15:53] <andycc> amanda_, same thing more or less.
[15:53] <WaltherFI> FUMOS: also, check if you have vsync enabled, it causes pixellation etc on low gpu's
[15:53] <KM0201> amanda_: what version of ubuntu are you using again?
[15:53] <WaltherFI> lynxomania: don't know, try sudo apt-get update
[15:53] <BluesKaj> FUMOS, yes it will remain in public chat without the @
[15:53] <amanda_> 10.10
[15:53] <EyesIsMine|iPod> Err
[15:54] <lynxomania> tried it... but the latest version is not comin up...
[15:54] <Kranix> Is there any way to see the specific errors in GParted?
[15:54] <amanda_> yes it is
[15:54] <KM0201> amanda_: youre' using 10.10, and you don't have system/admin/additional drivers?   it says hardware drivers?
[15:54] <lynxomania> i'm using 10.04... so i must be getting the newest kernel!!!
[15:54] <necktie> KM0201: what about ubuntu multimedia?
[15:54] <EyesIsMine|iPod> Should I talk about Kubuntu here? The ##kubuntu seems to be empty
[15:54] <FUMOS> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) coz_
[15:54] <amanda_> yes
[15:54] <KM0201> necktie: what about it?
[15:55] <WaltherFI> lynxomania: there might be some issues with it, making it *not recommended* atm
[15:55] <KM0201> amanda_: that doesn't really make sense, but ok
[15:55] <coz_> FUMOS,   is this a laptop or desktop?
[15:55] <necktie> KM0201: is it there?
[15:55] <WaltherFI> lynxomania: like, 'beta' or testing
[15:55] <FUMOS> laptop
[15:55] <KM0201> necktie: can you not look?
[15:55] <lynxomania> u must be right...
[15:55] <WaltherFI> FUMOS: do you have vsync on?
[15:55] <coz_> FUMOS,  did you check in the bios  to see if you can allocate more memory to the video ?
[15:55] <necktie> KM0201: where do i go to look?
[15:55] <amanda_> How do I check ther version? it may be 10.04...
[15:55] <WaltherFI> !u | lynxomania
[15:55] <Doonz> Im trying to expand my partition. Is there a cli guide i can follow?
[15:55] <lynxomania> whats a meta-package ???
[15:55] <KM0201> necktie: no, there is no package called ubuntu multimedia
[15:55] <necktie> KM0201: i tried medibuntu.org/ but there is no search option
[15:56] <EyesIsMine|iPod> When loading Kubuntu for the first time after wubi install all I see is a screen with red blue and green dots and a grey box with white lines
[15:56] <EyesIsMine|iPod> Oh, MLB
[15:56] <WaltherFI> lynxomania: e.g. ubuntu-desktop
[15:56] <necktie> KM0201: i meant the multimedia reo
[15:56] <necktie> repo*
[15:56] <KM0201> necktie: what exact program, are you trying to install?.. that requires this file
[15:56] <coz_> lynxomania,    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages
[15:56] <WaltherFI> lynxomania: a package that is not a package, but a 'shortcut' to big chunk of packages
[15:56] <FUMOS> WaltherFI how do I get to compiz options? I cant find it in the system menu
[15:56] <necktie> KM0201: kmenc15 is the program
[15:56] <Ubunewb> Using the catalyst 10.12 drivers with my radeon hd 2600 pro, artifacts appear (eg. on open office) while scrolling sidewards. anyone got any idea on that?
[15:56] <_juki> How can I clear apt-get's autoremove list, because its deleting gnome and packages related to it?
[15:56] <WaltherFI> FUMOS: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[15:57] <necktie> KM0201: it requires mencoder
[15:57] <lynxomania> well... i thought of trying the new kernel but inside its info was mentioned not to try it directly but instead try the meta-package...
[15:57] <lynxomania> coz: lemme check...
[15:57] <FUMOS> I've set it to 128 MB which is the recommended setting coz_
[15:57] <Kranix> Could I install Linux Mint 10 on a computer currently running Windows Vista using an USB formatted to NTFS?
[15:57] <IdleOne> !mint
[15:57] <coz_> FUMOS,  ok  ... you can experiment with that but 128 s hould be ok
[15:57] <v4nelle> i was slackware user for 2 years,and i installed ubuntu...i think its really fast distro :)
[15:57] <KM0201> necktie: here's  a debian lenny package, it should work w/ Ubuntu.. but that's your call... http://linuxappfinder.com/package/kmenc15
[15:57] <WaltherFI> FUMOS: check if you have VSync enabled in your player then? try VLC, it's the most up-to-date player atm
[15:57] <amanda_> How do I check ther version? it may be 10.04...
[15:57] <Kranix> Is ubbotu really a bot?
[15:58] <WaltherFI> Kranix: yep
[15:58] <WaltherFI> Kranix: and it is open source
[15:58] <KM0201> amanda_: it probably is     in a terminal type     lsb_release -a
[15:58] <Kranix> I'll test it.
[15:58] <Kranix> Linux Mint
[15:58] <necktie> KM0201: my call? can it screw ubuntu up or something?
[15:58] <KM0201> wasn't there an issue a couple weeks ago, of an upgrade breaking the b43 driver?
[15:59] <_juki> How can I clear apt-get's autoremove list, because its deleting gnome and packages related to it?
[15:59] <KM0201> necktie: usually, no... but.. again,  your call...
[15:59] <amanda_> version 10.04.1
[15:59] <WaltherFI> juki: there shouldn't be need for that
[15:59] <KM0201> amanda_: i kinda thought so.
[15:59] <WaltherFI> juki: run     dpkg-reconfigure -a
[15:59] <IdleOne> _juki: autoremove does not uninstall those packages, it deletes the .deb files from the cache. it is safe
[15:59] <amanda_> heh, sorry still kinda new, but I'm a quick learner
[16:00] <WaltherFI> juki: it cheks for errors
[16:00] <_juki> ok thanks!
[16:00] <FUMOS> it doesn't play in VLC nor Movieplayer, it only plays in Gnome MPlayer but it gets pixelated and constantly skips frames WaltherFI
[16:00] <WaltherFI> FUMOS: sounds like a corrupted file then
[16:00] <FUMOS> ouch I was affraid of that :(
[16:00] <pksadiq> !xine2 | FUMOS
[16:00] <SpooKje2012> hello
[16:00] <KM0201> hehe, ubottu fail
[16:01] <pksadiq> !xine | FUMOS
[16:01] <WaltherFI> pksadiq: for beginners/near beginners, mplayer and vlc are the easiest and most versatile
[16:01] <amanda_> Do you think a fresh install would help?
[16:02] <KM0201> amanda_: if you were gonna do that, i'd recommend 10.10   but i seem to recall reading something about an upgrade breaking the b43 driver the other day.. tryign to find it
[16:02] <pksadiq> WaltherFI: xine is not something very advanced, but it's so easy, and even you know, I believe that mencoder, of Mplayer is very very advanced for a normal user
[16:02] <amanda_> ok, cool
[16:02] <root_____> hey
[16:02] <root_____> I have installed the aptitude package manager
[16:02] <root_____> but when i open it from system>administration
[16:02] <pksadiq> !info xine | FUMOS
[16:03] <root_____> it gives me this error
[16:03] <KM0201> !rootirc | root_____
[16:03] <WaltherFI> !enter | root_____
[16:03] <root_____> Failed to execute child process "su-to-root" (No such file or directory)
[16:03] <KM0201> !sudo | root_____
[16:03] <root_____> how do i change my username?
[16:03] <FUMOS> pksadiq is xine = gxine?
[16:04] <WaltherFI> root_____: /nick newname
[16:04] <KM0201> root_____: i think your username just shows a bigger issue on your system (ie, you're running everything as root)
[16:04] <Middleman> anyone install swftools on 10.10

[16:04] <KM0201> Middleman: doesn't appear to exist in maverick
[16:05] <Middleman> im trying to install from source
[16:05] <Middleman> for some reason it was removed
[16:05] <WaltherFI> Middleman: do you have the sources?
[16:05] <eXpLoD> Why do i receive this error from running the aptitude package manager from system>administration: Failed to execute child process "su-to-root" (No such file or directory)?
[16:05] <WaltherFI> eXpLoD: do you log in your computer as root?
[16:05] <Middleman> ya, im about to try to install, wanted to see if anyone else has
[16:05] <KM0201> Middleman: if you still have the sources, just recompile it.. and next time use "--checkinstall" so you'll have a .deb file of it
[16:06] <eXpLoD> no,i just needed to do some changes so i did sudo -s
[16:06] <FUMOS> uborru are you really a bot? I did find gxine
[16:06] <tekton> hello
[16:06] <FUMOS> ubottu are you really a bot? I did find gxine
[16:06] <WaltherFI> FUMOS: it is a bot.
[16:06] <IdleOne> eXpLoD: what aptitude package manager?  and why do you seem to think it has a GUI?
[16:06] <oxi> hi
[16:06] <oxi> What's the best partition imaging/snapshoting tool for the ext3 filesystem? I'd like to be able to easily mount the image in Linux, Windows and OSX.

[16:06] <FUMOS> lol nice :p
[16:06] <tekton> can someone gimme some help with remote desktop access between a kubuntu 10.10 and a windows 7 mashine?
[16:07] <yeats> eXpLoD: can you paste the output of 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' (from terminal) to arson
[16:07] <KM0201> !vnc | tekton
[16:07] <KM0201> tekton: or if you want "quick and dirty"... install teamviewer on both machines... then you dont have to mess w/ routers, etc.
[16:07] <yeats> eXpLoD: sorry http://goo.gl/ixcN9
[16:07] <Kranix> Can't mount the USB after formatting it to NTFS...
[16:08] <Middleman> how do u install .deb files
[16:08]  * yeats had a paste error ;-)
[16:08] <amanda_> Any luck KM0201?
[16:08] <WaltherFI> Kranix: sudo mount -a?
[16:08] <Middleman> swftools: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/i386/swftools/download
[16:08] <KM0201> Middleman: either double click them, or sudo dpkg -i /path/to/packagename
[16:08] <WaltherFI> Middleman: doubleclick
[16:08] <Migaaresno> I have added myself to the www-data group. I still cant edit /var/www. /var/www ownership is root:www-data 664. Should i reboot for groups to take effect?
[16:08] <KM0201> amanda_: no, i can't find it...
[16:08] <Middleman> i dont use gui, thanks KM0201
[16:08] <KM0201> the only reference i can find is several months old, and i kno that wasn't it
[16:08] <yeats> eXpLoD: also, I'm assuming you mean 'Synaptic Package Manager' not aptitude, right?
[16:09] <HugoGF> Kranix: Could it be the USB itself? Or the USB port?
[16:09] <eXpLoD> no
[16:09] <amanda_> Ok, so what would you suggest?
[16:09] <Kranix> sudo mount -a did it.
[16:09] <HugoGF> Kranix: Okay :)
[16:09] <WaltherFI> Kranix: so it is not automounting
[16:09] <KM0201> amanda_: i'd try asking on the ubuntu forums, see if anyone knows bout it there...
[16:09] <KM0201> but.. like i said, i know i read that the other day.
[16:09] <tekton> i know about vnc, i have a specific question to make
[16:10] <amanda_> Been surfing them all morning
[16:10] <WaltherFI> !ask | tekton
[16:10] <amanda_> Kinda why I came here
[16:10] <tekton> ok sorry. I go on then
[16:10] <WaltherFI> amanda_: what was your question again, see if i can help
[16:10] <KM0201> amanda_: yeah, unfortunately, i don't know.. but i know i read that the other day
[16:10] <KM0201> WaltherFI: b43 is activated and not working.
[16:11] <tekton> i have managed to connect to my kubuntu desktop that uses krdc from a windows 7 netbook using tightvnc
[16:11] <WaltherFI> KM0201: yeah read about that too...
[16:11] <tekton> the opposite is impossible, giving server not found
[16:11] <eXpLoD> @yeats here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/554398/
[16:11] <HugoGF> tekton: Good job, then.
[16:11] <KM0201> WaltherFI: ok, so i know i'm not crazy
[16:11] <KM0201> :)
[16:11] <amanda_> The wifi light on my laptop went out and now the "enable wifi" option is greyed out
[16:11] <tekton> i have done the same dyndns to that mashine too with a different account
[16:11] <WaltherFI> amanda_: you could try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
[16:11] <Migaaresno> tekton, are the ports forwarded?
[16:12] <Taos> Any reason why wubi reboots into a blank screen?
[16:12] <WaltherFI> amanda_: yeah, my laptop also has no wifi anymore, realtek </3
[16:12] <tekton> yes, i have opened the same ports to both
[16:12] <WaltherFI> !wubi | Taos
[16:12] <tekton> in fact i have made the same settings to both
[16:12] <KM0201> Taos: you mean, other than it sucks?
[16:12] <Taos> KM0201: ha
[16:12] <WaltherFI> Taos: whoops. sorry. Wubi is not intended for regular use
[16:12] <WaltherFI> Taos: it is very, ery buggy
[16:12] <tekton> could that be a matter of compatibility?
[16:13] <Taos> walmis: Im sure it isn't point is I just want to boot for the first time
[16:13] <KM0201> Taos: seriously, if your'e getting any sort of wubi problem.. honestly,i woudl immediately uninstall it so it doesn't jack up windows.. as thats usually what happens
[16:13] <WaltherFI> KM0201: what was the factoid for that again?
[16:13] <tekton> could it be a problem of the tightvnc server?
[16:13] <Taos> I just want to install ubuntu but use the windows boot manager -_-
[16:13] <KM0201> WaltherFI: not sure... to be truthful.. i just tell people it sucks
[16:13] <KM0201> lol
[16:13] <eXpLoD> what irc app are you using guys?I'm using the irssi in the terminal
[16:13] <crazy_8> how do i tell what xvideo driver im using like vesra or xorg
[16:13] <crazy_8> from terminal
[16:13] <pksadiq> eXpLoD: me too, almost all using here irssi
[16:14] <Taos> Im not using grub again not after last time
[16:14] <WaltherFI> Taos: that's near impossible
[16:14] <eXpLoD> 18:11 < eXpLoD> @yeats here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/554398/
[16:14] <WaltherFI> eXpLoD: irssi for most of people
[16:14] <Taos> WaltherFI: I personally hate grub2
[16:14] <KM0201> Taos: well, grub is way safter than wubi.
[16:14] <amanda_> ok, that code got me to an adduser screen
[16:14] <Migaaresno> tekton, No, the host was not found. Hmmm. the next thing i would do is check if the ports on the windows machine are open.
[16:14] <WaltherFI> Taos: well, like KM0201 said
[16:14] <KM0201> Taos: i hate grub2 also, but i only have to see it for 3sec
[16:14] <WaltherFI> Taos: also, there are others too...
[16:14] <Migaaresno> tekton, Can you VNC from your windows machine to your windows machine?
[16:14] <WaltherFI> KM0201: what was the other boot manager?
[16:14] <Taos> Last time I wanted to remove ubuntu something messed up in grub2 and it blew away my boot sector
[16:15] <yeats> eXpLoD: that looks okay.... can you try what you did again and see if you still get the error?
[16:15] <KM0201> WaltherFI: you would ask me that... it starts with an L i think
[16:15] <KM0201> WaltherFI: LILO
[16:15] <WaltherFI> ha
[16:15] <eXpLoD> what package manager is the best,except synaptic?
[16:15] <KM0201> i was close  :)
[16:15] <KM0201> !polls | eXpLoD
[16:15] <tekton> nugaaeresno i haven't tried that. i didnd't even imagine to connect to the computer from the same mashine. does this show anything?
[16:15] <tekton> migaaeresno i haven't tried that. i didnd't even imagine to connect to the computer from the same mashine. does this show anything?
[16:15] <WaltherFI> Taos: yeah, been there... also, i've had my partition tables go kaboom once, it was a hell to recover
[16:16] <WaltherFI> Taos: but in general, grub2 is the most advanced boot mgr
[16:16] <Taos> WaltherFI: I want a way to install ubuntu, while keeping winodws as the first option in the list and/or using only the windows boot manager

[16:16] <Taos> other than that im not bothered how I get there
[16:16] <FUMOS> this is what I got in gxine (via the terminal) pksadiq http://paste.ubuntu.com/554402/
[16:16] <WaltherFI> Taos: it is easy to put it first in the list :)
[16:16] <Migaaresno> tekton, It shows the server is working correctly. But take notice! Some servers disallow connecting from the same machine, see settings.
[16:17] <tekton> sorry for repeating many times, i'm all rusty with irc and don't remember the commands yet
[16:17] <KM0201> Taos: making windows the default boot option, is not that difficult.
[16:17] <WaltherFI> Taos: it is in the /etc/default/grub, you can edit the order
