[21:26] <Lxndr> more generally: I tried to upgrade to 10.04 from 8.04. Sadly, there seems to be errors, as now my gui fails to load, and I am stuck on a command line interface. Sudo apt-get upgrade gets errors (not sure how to report those, without a GUI to help me get to various websites). What can I do?
[21:26] <Edub05> aeon-ltd: suppose I could.. just an old slackware box I got sittin at my parents house I want to migrate to ubuntu
[21:26] <Lxndr> ossfm: "Processing was halted because there were too many errors."
[21:26] <[thor]> Lxndr: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[21:27] <aeon-ltd> Edub05: oh ok, sounds hard trying to remotely install a different distro, out of my league :)
[21:27] <[thor]> Lxndr: then --> sudo apt-get upgrade | pastebinit
[21:27] <[thor]> and paste the url here
[21:28] <Lxndr> thor: installing pastebinit gives an error: "Processing was halted because there were too many errors."
[21:28] <[thor]> :( sorry pal
[21:29] <guitar-maniac> hi
[21:29] <erUSUL> Lxndr: sudo apt-get install -f ?
[21:29] <dkg> Hi guys. I've told told that I have to get a GNU, but I can't seem to find out what it is. Can you help me find one?
[21:29] <guitar-maniac> rhythmbox shuts itself down every once in a while..? shuold i post the terminal output here?
[21:30] <Lxndr> erUSUL: "Processing was halted because there were too many errors" with "sudo apt-get install -f"
[21:30] <jk_> Lxndr, you say the gui fails to load. specifically what happens? I've had various similar problems with Lucid and most of them seem to revolve around the changes to the X window system it includes, so getting X to work properly might cure your main problem...
[21:30] <jef91> Howdy All, I have a laptop with an ATI express 200m series card in it. According to this - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver - it should be supported by the FOSS driver. But when I try to boot the live CD I get no X server. Any idea why?
[21:30] <ossfm> lxndr: try "sudo aptitude full-upgrade".
[21:30] <[thor]> dkg: GNU is Not Unix
[21:30] <Lxndr> jk_: I get the splash screen. Following that, it dumps to the CLI.
[21:30] <dkg> [thor]: wat
[21:30] <Lxndr> ossfm: Trying that now.
[21:31] <Lxndr> ossfm: Same issue. "...too many errors."
[21:31] <[thor]> !gnu | dkg
[21:31] <jk_> Lxndr, if you type "startx" at the CLI, what happens?
[21:31] <aeon-ltd> dkg: gnu? gnu license? dude they're licenses for Free Open Source Software or FOSS
[21:31] <Lxndr> jk_: I get a black screen with a mouse pointer that will move, but nothing else.
[21:31] <aeon-ltd> Lxndr: yeah thats X without a DE or WM
[21:32] <guitar-maniac> (rhythmbox:6396): Rhythmbox-CRITICAL **: rb_property_view_set_selection: assertion `RB_IS_PROPERTY_VIEW (view)' failed
[21:32] <guitar-maniac> ** (rhythmbox:6396): DEBUG: navigation requested to http://stores.7digital.com/default.aspx?shop=436&partner=983 thats the last line of terminal output conserning rhythbox shutdown..
[21:32] <dkg> [thor]: I asked what it was, not what it isn't.
[21:32] <[thor]> dkg: follow ubottu's link
[21:32] <Lxndr> aeon-ltd: So how do I get to a usable state?
[21:32] <aeon-ltd> guitar-maniac: try updating first or reinstalling the package
[21:32] <ossfm> lxndr: that's a tough one.
[21:32] <guitar-maniac> ok, i try that.
[21:33] <jk_> Lxndr, try "sudo X -configure" from the CLI and see if that does anything. The response you get to startx indicates that it's almost certainly an X configuration problem at heart.
[21:33] <aeon-ltd> Lxndr: install a Desktop Environment like gnome/kde/lxde or a Window Manager like openbox/fluxbox
[21:34] <Lxndr> jk_: sudo X -configure gives no errors, but without access to pastebin I don't think I can report much more?
[21:35] <mister2> Anybody know where i can get the vendor name and model of IBM's A22m's monitor?
[21:35] <Lxndr> aeon-ltd: Attempting to install a desktop environment gives me a long scroll that ends with "Processing was ended because there are too many errors." That's what I'm trying to solve.
[21:35] <ReAn> does ifconfig typically list the selected gateway for an interface?
[21:35] <prodigel> hi all. How about that skype screen sharing for linux. Is it available for ubuntu or not ?:)
[21:36] <Lxndr> ossfm: I agree. Any ideas as to where I should go from here?
[21:36] <aeon-ltd> Lxndr: really?, try sudo apt-get update then try again
[21:36] <erUSUL> ReAn: no; for that use. "ip route" or "route -a"
[21:37] <ReAn> thanks erUSUL
[21:37] <ossfm> lxndr: from the ubuntu lucid upgrade help page: "sudo apt-get install update-manager-core"
[21:37] <Lxndr> aeon-ltd: Tried it, and still no dice. "...too many errors."
[21:37] <ReAn> not i just gotta figure out why my ubuntu machine can't talk to ca.archive.ubuntu.com
[21:37] <ReAn> :(
[21:37] <Lxndr> ossfm: Doing that now.
[21:37] <paddy_> i am trying to get gtkpod to convert to m4a but i am getting exit status 5, what is the problem
[21:37] <Lxndr> ossfm: "...too many errors"
[21:37] <jk_> Lxndr, take a look at /var/log/xorg.0.log|grep EE and copy/paste any output one line per post to here so as not to flood. that may give us some hints.
[21:38] <aeon-ltd> Lxndr: what do the errors say?, don't attempt to type it all just noticable points
[21:38] <erUSUL> !ipod > paddy_
[21:38] <paddy_> erusul not relevent
[21:39] <ossfm> lxndr: try "sudo do-release-upgrade"
[21:39] <Lxndr> aeon-ltd: it includes a long list of programs where errors occurred. including "gsfonts" "ghostscript" "cups" and "nautilus"
[21:40] <Phr3ak_> hi again ;-)
[21:40] <Lxndr> ossfm: "no new release found"
[21:40] <ReAn> So i've got an older version of ubuntu (probably like 6.04 or so, 100% terminal based machine) and it used to be able to download packages, now it just hangs while connecting to the archive server, which I've confirmed connects (the machine has a gateway, and can resolve the dns) but this is my apt-get output: http://pastebin.com/B08TmvAe
[21:40] <ReAn> Am i missing something here?
[21:40] <Phr3ak_> maybe, who  knows ..
[21:41] <xangua> ReAn: please use a distro with support
[21:41] <aeon-ltd> Lxndr: does it state the source of the error?
[21:41] <YankDownUnder> ReAn, Is it an LTS version (long term support)?
[21:41] <ReAn> xangua: it's the minimal cd + whatever i needed
[21:41] <ReAn> i dont recall as i built it a couple years ago
[21:42] <guntbert> !eol | ReAn
[21:42] <ReAn> if there's an easy way to upgrade it to the newest distro id do it
[21:42] <xangua> ReAn: you just said 6.04 or somethins, that doesn't have support anymore
[21:42] <ReAn> could be 6.10
[21:42] <ReAn> i dunno
[21:42] <ReAn> there a way to check?
[21:42] <ossfm> lxndr: how much time to you have? you may have to download the install cd and start over. i got hosed in the middle of an install once and had to do that.
[21:42] <mister2> Hey, xorg config question, my display is fine in "safe display mode" but if i try to boot it normal it's diced. It's a rage 128 on an A22m IBM think pad, can i add anything to my xorg.conf or anything to change the dicedness?
[21:42] <ReAn> oh shoot
[21:43] <guntbert> ReAn: type lsb_release -a
[21:43] <ReAn> sorry guys
[21:43] <ReAn> it's 9.04
[21:43] <ReAn> my bad
[21:43] <ReAn> like i said... i built it a couple years ago
[21:43] <ReAn> >_<
[21:43] <jk_> ReAn, in a terminal, type "lsb_release -a" to get the exact release you are running.
[21:45] <ReAn> sorry, it's 9.04, and i can't get it to talk to the archive server
[21:45] <guntbert> !upgrade | ReAn
[21:45] <ReAn> thankyou
[21:45] <guntbert> ReAn: 9.04 -> 9.10 -> 10.04
[21:45] <viatech> Can anyone help me getting VNC remote setup for Gnome so I can access my VPS from a Windows Machine?
[21:46] <jk_> mister2, you can try "sudo X -configure" to get an xorg.conf.new file created in your home directory, and then copy it into /etc/X11 (without the ".new" on the end). I had to do this to get an ancient Rage 128 card properly recognized here...
[21:46] <guntbert> ReAn: but 9.04 is still supported, look into your software sources/updates
[21:47] <mister2> jk_ i've done that before, however i still end up getting a diced display
[21:47] <seanp2k> hello, i am having a problem with cpufreqd: i cannot manually adjust my clock rate
[21:47] <mister2> jk_ to be more accurate i used xserver -configure or something like that, but i'll try yours
[21:49] <pshr> any one one package name which installs all the C man pages
[21:49] <pshr> about all the content
[21:49] <pshr> specificaly \
[21:49] <pshr> funcitions
[21:49] <FloodBot3> pshr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:50] <mister2> jk_ so i ran a test with the new conf and all i got was a black screen, thoughts?
[21:51] <paddy_> what encoder does gtkpod use for m4a?
[21:51] <guntbert> manpages-dev glibc-doc_
[21:51] <An_Ony_Moose> is it possible to configure gdm to allow a remote X login connection in 10.04? I think it used to be enabled by default in earlier versions.
[21:52] <jk_> mister2, type "grep EE /var/log/xorg.0.log" and tell us what shows up. Use pastebinit to show is the whole log file if you can (it's likely to be pretty big).
[21:53] <Lxndr> ossfm, aeon-ltd, jk_: I got disconnected. I think it was a network hicckup, not a symptom. Did I miss any messages?
[21:53] <jk_> mister2, type "grep EE /var/log/xorg.0.log" and tell us what shows up. Use pastebinit to show is the whole log file if you can (it's likely to be pretty big).
[21:54] <jk_> *us
[21:55] <aeon-ltd> Lxndr: just one message, does it state the source of the error?
[21:55] <dumuzid> so,
[21:56] <Lxndr> "sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg had an error code."
[21:56] <dumuzid> I would like to mirror a site that has a directory structure accessible via url queries...
[21:56] <bastidrazor> paddy_: Selected audio codec: [faad] afm: faad (FAAD AAC (MPEG-2/MPEG-4 Audio))    is what i get when playing an mp4 in mplayer
[21:56] <dumuzid> like dir=/this&file=that.zip
[21:56] <jk_> Lxndr, type "grep EE /var/log/xorg.0.log" and tell us what shows up. Use pastebinit to show is the whole log file if you can (it's likely to be pretty big).
[21:56] <Lxndr> aeon-ltd: "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code(1)"
[21:56] <bastidrazor> paddy_:  Opening audio decoder: [faad] AAC (MPEG2/4 Advanced Audio Coding)
[21:56] <dumuzid> how would I get wget to just save the file as /this/that.zip?
[21:57] <Lxndr> jk_: "no such file or directory" . also, pastebinit gives the same errors as upgrading when I attempt to install it.
[21:58] <erUSUL> dumuzid: wget -O /this/that.zip urlhere
[21:59] <jk_> Lxndr, right -- i'm in two conversations about X problems and copied the message over to you. if there's no log file, try startx again, use ctrl-c to get out of the black screen, then try the grep EE again. That should pick out just the error lines from the log.
[21:59] <dumuzid> erUSUL, thanks... that's almost it... is there a way to do some form of parameter replacement so wget could spider the whole directory? Or am I gonna need to use some perl magics?
[21:59] <Lxndr> TO EVERYONE: I upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 10.04. Once this happened, after the splash-screen I am immediately dumped into a command line interface.  Attempts to complete the upgrade, or to install many programs involves a dpkg error, stating "Process was stopped because there were too many errors." How can I proceed to fix this?
[21:59] <erUSUL> dumuzid: you want to extract the path from the url ?
[22:00] <Seveas> Lxndr, dpkg --configure -a
[22:00] <erUSUL> dumuzid: i do not think wget can do anything like that
[22:00] <Seveas> and apt-get -f install
[22:00] <Seveas> repeat those two until they give no output
[22:01] <dumuzid> erUSUL, kk, thanks anyway...
[22:01] <jk_> l
[22:01] <Seveas> m
[22:01] <jk_> Looks like Lxndr got disconnected again...
[22:02] <Seveas> yeah
[22:03] <Seveas> Lxndr, dpkg --configure -a; apt-get -f install
[22:03] <Seveas> repeat those two commands until they give no output
[22:03] <Lxndr> jk_, aeon-ltd: I just tried what jk_ proposed, typed 'startx'. Unfortunately, control-x failed to remove me, and I had to reboot.
[22:04] <jk_> Lxndr, try what Seveas suggested (he may need to post it again for you)
[22:04] <Lxndr> seveas: I get "unknown option -o"
[22:04] <Lxndr> Seveas: when trying to run dpk --configure -a
[22:04] <Lxndr> dpkg, even
[22:04] <Seveas> Lxndr, I never said -o :)
[22:04] <JPeterson> anyone got  "protocol error" in the terminal?
[22:04] <Seveas> you probably did -configure and not --configure
[22:04] <An_Ony_Moose> Can I connect to an X server running on a separate machine using XDMCP?
[22:04] <craigbass1976> This is driving me crazy...  I can see files using testdisk, but can't get the partition to mount.  Is there any way to copy files out of testdisk and then I'll just wipe the drive after?
[22:04] <Lxndr> Seveas: Ah, yes. I did -config, not --config.
[22:05] <Lxndr> Seveas: Doing it the RIGHT way I get the same list of errors.
[22:05] <erUSUL> craigbass1976: testdisk is designed to copy files it recovers to a filesystemof your choosing afaik. check it homepage there is a detailed step by step tutorial
[22:05] <Lxndr> Seveas: "Processing was halted because there were too many errors."
[22:05] <erUSUL> !undelete | craigbass1976
[22:05] <Lxndr> jk_: Just tried it. So far, still no dice.
[22:06] <pat|nG> how to delete grub?
[22:06] <Seveas> Lxndr, did you try apt-get -f install
[22:06] <jk_> Lxndr, you may need to download the Lucid iso, burn a disk, and re-install. should be finished in three or four hours, with luck.
[22:06] <Lxndr> Seveas: I did. It also is giving the same error.
[22:06] <turt1e> Hi guys,  does anyone know if nautilus keeps a log file for errors during file copy operations?  I'm going to be copying around 100gigs of files to a removable drive and I'm anticipating having some corrupt files and would like a list of the files that it will skip
[22:06] <erUSUL> pat|nG: from your dik's mbr ? reinstall windows bootloader?
[22:06] <guntbert> pat|nG: don't, you need it
[22:06] <pat|nG> i got dual os
[22:07] <Lxndr> jk_: Sadly, I'm stuck in an unfamiliar city with no access to cd burning.
[22:07] <pat|nG> everytime i boot i got those grub and the other os which is win7
[22:07] <Seveas> Lxndr, can you scp things to a webserver of some sorts?
[22:07] <pat|nG> before i got 2 from the updated ubuntu distro
[22:07] <pat|nG> now i got another one
[22:07] <pat|nG> i got 3
[22:08] <Lxndr> Seveas: I believe I can, yes.
[22:08] <Seveas> Lxndr, ok, then do: dpkg --configure -a > dpkg_out.txt  2>&1
[22:08] <CkhiKuzad> Is there a way that I can check if ubuntu 10.04 is using the Swap space that i have?
[22:08] <Lxndr> Seveas: Unfortunately, the only web server I have access to, I do not know my username/password.
[22:08] <Seveas> and scp dpkg_out.txt to somewhere I can see it
[22:08] <Seveas> ah, pity
[22:08] <andreiutz> Hi, how can I connect to internet with my usb-stick wireless modem(huawei e160) without using network manager ?
[22:09] <erUSUL> CkhiKuzad: do « free -m » that will show how much swap you have
[22:09] <aeon-ltd> andreiutz: wicd?
[22:09] <Lxndr> Seveas: If I only had access to the web, I could probably decipher my username/password. Sadly, lynx also fails to install.
[22:09] <craigbass1976> erUSUL, are you pretty familiar with it? Do I really have to reboot when I write something?
[22:09] <guntbert> pat|nG: use your favourite package manager to remove old kernels - so that you will hhave fewer lines in the grub menu
[22:10] <Lxndr> Seveas: Trying to track it down using my Droid, hold on.
[22:10] <ArvinJA> So this is the party huh?
[22:10] <erUSUL> craigbass1976: not familiar; sorry. only know of its capabilities
[22:10] <Seveas> ArvinJA, no, this is the room of frustrations, the party is in #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[22:10] <ArvinJA> oh
[22:10] <CkhiKuzad> so true.
[22:11] <erUSUL> craigbass1976: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step
[22:11] <CkhiKuzad> alright, it's using my swap space correctly. now i just need to know how to make this run better.
[22:11] <Lxndr> Seveas: Found it. scp/ftping it now.
[22:12] <puff> I'm trying to uninstall the ruby packages I installed with apt.  I've done "sudo aptitude remove ruby", "sudo aptitude remove ruby1.9.1" and "sudo aptitude remove ruby1.9", but some packages remain.
[22:12] <Margraf> who tested ubuntu 10.10???
[22:12] <CkhiKuzad> O.o why is my shutdown icon in the top right corner red?
[22:12] <Lxndr> Seveas: Try http://www.twistedconfessions.com/dpkg_out.txt
[22:12] <Seveas> !maverick | Margraf
[22:12] <erUSUL> Margraf: #ubuntu+1 denizens
[22:12] <puff> Margraf: I thought *you* tested it?
[22:13] <Seveas> Lxndr, ok, that looks fixable. I assume you've restarted during/since the bodged upgrade?
[22:13] <jawee> My sound adjuster applet is missing.
[22:13] <Margraf> puff: no... i'm downloading now
[22:13] <jawee> what is the command for it? I'm on 10.04.
[22:13] <deathnight114> Hey guys, question...
[22:13] <Lxndr> Seveas: I have! Each time, though, I have to re-do my internets. But yes, it's been restarted a few times, the most recent one during my last disconnect.
[22:13] <puff> Margraf: I was just kidding.
[22:14] <Seveas> Lxndr, ok, then do this: rm /var/lib/defoma/locked
[22:14] <deathnight114> http://i52.tinypic.com/212a6bq.png Why is it that every theme I download for the emerald theme manager look like this...
[22:14] <deathnight114> http://i52.tinypic.com/212a6bq.png
[22:14] <Margraf> puff:  euehuehe
[22:14] <deathnight114> It like, puts a giant white box over all my windows
[22:14] <Seveas> Lxndr, and then do the 'dpkg --configure -a ; apt-get -f install' dance again
[22:14] <deathnight114> http://beryl-themes.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=125626&file1=125626-1.jpg&file2=125626-2.jpg&file3=&name=Glassified+MacOS+%28left%2Fright%29 - It's supposed to be this...
[22:15] <ZykoticK9> !emerald | deathnight114
[22:16] <deathnight114> fff
[22:16] <deathnight114> -_-
[22:17] <deathnight114> Well I think I may have fixed it just now though by messing with the compiz settings, but i'm not sure...
[22:17] <deathnight114> i guess I'll just see
[22:17] <jk_> Lxndr, you probably need a sudo in front of that rm command...
[22:17] <Lxndr> jk_: I figured that out.  (Seveas, hope that was alright)
[22:17] <Seveas> Lxndr, yeah, I was actually assuming a rootshell (sudo -i) :)
[22:18] <YankDownUnder> deathnight114, Yeah mate - double check your Compiz settings - and also make sure that Emerald is set to decorate your windows...you can also check in #compiz for further information...
[22:18] <Lxndr> Seveas: It's running now. I miss windows, this foreground/background is a bit frustrating.
[22:19] <Lxndr> (and by windows I mean the concept, not the OS)
[22:19] <Seveas> Lxndr, you still have no X right? You have multiple VTs (alt+F1, alt+F2 up to F6)
[22:19] <CkhiKuzad> How do i get GMail running with Evolution? I had it working on 9.04
[22:19] <Lxndr> Seveas: I have no gui. I'm just doing a lot of control-z and 'fg'
[22:19] <Seveas> use multiple vt's, makes it easier
[22:19] <deathnight114> Yeah emerald IS set to decorate them...
[22:19] <Seveas> irssi in alt+f1, apt-get in alt+f2 :)
[22:20] <plitter> hey, i have a problem with iwconfig.... I am trying to connect to my network and i try < sudo iwconfig essid "Name of network" key s:password > but i get:
[22:20] <plitter> Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
[22:20] <plitter> SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
[22:20] <Lxndr> Seveas: Ooo, I learned something new! Once this stops running in the background I'll run any further dances in the second VT.
[22:21] <Jordan_U> craigbass1976: Yes, testdisk has an option for that (can't remember off hand how to get to it). What is the filestem and what error do get when mounting it though?
[22:21] <JPeterson> Anyone know where the samba timeout code is written?
[22:21] <JPeterson> I'm curious who thought a 60 second timeout was appropriate for a missing ip
[22:21] <YankDownUnder> JPeterson, /etc/samba/smb.conf
[22:22] <mobasher> can anyone help me apache setup to my machine..unable to get access thru outside via ip
[22:22] <aeon-ltd> mobasher: check firewall
[22:22] <Lxndr> Seveas: How long does this dance generally take? It's still running.
[22:22] <JPeterson> YankDownUnder: didn't find any timeout setting, it's probably hardcoded
[22:23] <mobasher> not running any..i think it's the dd-wrt access issue...the ip lands at dd-wrt router page
[22:23] <Seveas> Lxndr, it can take a while. Basically your upgrade wasn't finished and it is now finishing the upgrade
[22:23] <YankDownUnder> JPeterson, Have you checked the dox on the Samba homepage or in the documentation? I've never ever had time-out issues with it - even from pre-release, mate.
[22:23] <erUSUL> plitter: s:password only works for WEP not for WPA(2) ...
[22:23] <mobasher> anyone familar with dd-wrt port forwading ?
[22:23] <usr13> JPeterson: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/servers/56711-adjust-timeout-samba.html
[22:23] <JPeterson> usr13: thanks
[22:24] <Lxndr> Seveas: This is working better than anything else. Thank you very much!
[22:24] <JPeterson> I have mounted a dir to a share that is gone, and the timeout is so long that I can't unmount it
[22:24] <JPeterson> I think even the unmount times out because the ip is gone
[22:24] <Seveas> JPeterson, umount has a -f flag :)

[22:25] <craigbass1976> Jordan_U, erUSUL forget it.  I didn't realize photorec was part of testdisk.  I'm copying files off now, will reformat/repartition the disk when I'm done, and tell the guy "it's not a backup if it's your only copy, dump to this AFTER YOU'VE ALREADY SAVED LOCALLY."
[22:25] <jk_> Lxndr, it's quite possible that when the upgrade does complete, your X problem will disappear. Good luck with it!
[22:25] <Lxndr> Minor question: How do I navigate between active windows in irssi?
[22:25] <JPeterson> Seveas: using -f "sudo umount -f -t cifs /home/user/Network/M"
[22:25] <JPeterson> waits 60 seconds, then times out and does apparently nothing
[22:25] <Seveas> Lxndr, /win 4
[22:25] <plitter> erUSUL: then what do i write?
[22:25] <Seveas> (replace 4 with the window number to go to)
[22:25] <usr13> JPeterson: What does mount show?
[22:26] <JPeterson> usr13: mount what?
[22:26] <usr13> JPeterson: mount
[22:26] <erUSUL> plitter: to connect to wpa network in cli is nontrivial you have to use wpa_suplicant
[22:26] <aeon-ltd> Lxndr: ctrl-p and ctrl-n aswell to navigate between adjacent channels
[22:26] <Seveas> JPeterson, how about -l ?
[22:27] <JPeterson> mount -l?
[22:27] <plitter> erUSUL: will try thanks:)
[22:27] <Seveas> umount -l /home/user/Network/M
[22:27] <JPeterson> Seveas: "//<IP_ADDRESS>/N on /home/user/Network/N type cifs (rw,mand)" in the end
[22:28] <JPeterson> but there is no *.100
[22:28] <JPeterson> and sudo umount -f -t cifs /home/user/Network/N hans
[22:28] <JPeterson> *hangs
[22:28] <JPeterson> for 60 seconds
[22:28] <JPeterson> which seems a little long
[22:28] <DoubleString> gn everyone
[22:28] <aeon-ltd> DoubleString: gn
[22:28] <Seveas> JPeterson, you did mount -l, you need umount -l
[22:28] <JPeterson> that's basically enough if the samba share was on the sun
[22:28] <JPeterson> 1 lightyear from here
[22:28] <JPeterson> i mean 60 light seconds
[22:29] <JPeterson> Seveas: thanks
[22:29] <JPeterson> unmounted finally
[22:32] <elijah1> I am trying to install Kubuntu and I have one drive in this laptop, there are two partitions taking up the full disk, when I run the Kubuntu installer it naturally wants a partition, is there a way I can shrink one partition and make a new partition from the remaining disk space I have freed up?
[22:33] <plitter> erUSUL: hmmm, could u point me in the right direction with how to use wpa_supplicant?
[22:33] <usr13> elijah1: Yes
[22:33] <Seveas> elijah1, yes, the ubuntu installer will offer you that option
[22:33] <elijah1> Seveas: I see it allows me to edit a partition and asks for a new size
[22:33] <Seveas> (the kubuntu installer too)
[22:34] <Seveas> elijah1, yeah
[22:34] <elijah1> Seveas: Does that mean it will resize?
[22:34] <Seveas> it will
[22:34] <ovrflw0x> i have radeon hd 3470 card i can hibernate nicely, but suspend does not work 10.04 here on vaio fw
[22:34] <elijah1> Theoretically, what would it do if I entered an amount smaller than what was available?
[22:35] <Jordan_U> elijah1: It would complain and do nothing.
[22:35] <Seveas> elijah1, it should tell you to try again :)
[22:35] <ovrflw0x> Jordan_U,  i have radeon hd 3470 card i can hibernate nicely, but suspend does not work 10.04 here on vaio fw
[22:35] <elijah1> Jordan_U and Seveas - Thank you
[22:36] <Jordan_U> elijah1: You're welcome.
[22:36] <Jordan_U> ovrflw0x: Is there a reason you directed that to me?
[22:38] <ovrflw0x> anyone!?, i have radeon hd 3470 card i can hibernate nicely, but suspend does not work 10.04 here on vaio fw

[22:38] <madjoe> Hi! Is there any way I could apply a sound notification for a successful Internet connection on my Ubuntu? Ex.: When my WiFi connects to the Internet I should hear a sound notification? I need something really simple.
[22:38] <lubosz> hi, since my last update/boot my workspace switcher applet is freaking large.. how can i change this back? http://i.imgur.com/EO83I.jpg
[22:39] <mzuverink> How can I get my machine to just total not load anything having to do with my touchpad on my notebook, its damaged and causes the machine to do odd things on occasion?
[22:39] <Seveas> madjoe, heh, that's actually a nifty idea. There's no such thing but it isn't too hard to create.
[22:40] <lubosz> mzuverink: you disable the touch support in the xorg.conf or recompile your kernel without the touchpad features, if you want it on a lower level.
[22:40] <madjoe> Seveas: yeah... my Internet connection foes off and on again reg. a weak signal sometimes and I'd like to know when I'm afk, but close enough...
[22:40] <usr13> "You've got Internet!"
[22:40] <madjoe> Seveas: goes*
[22:40] <lubosz> mzuverink: if you want it on a high level, go to the touchpad options in gnome and disable it
[22:40] <usr13> or  "You've got WiFI"
[22:40] <lubosz> mzuverink: gsynaptics
[22:41] <Lxndr> seveas: my connection broke, but it looks like it installed. (i am on my droid now) should i reboot?
[22:41] <Seveas> Lxndr, keep trying the dpkg and apt-get commands until neither of them does anything
[22:41] <Seveas> Lxndr, at that point, do: apt-get dist-upgrade
[22:41] <Seveas> for the next bits in the dist-upgrade process
[22:41] <madjoe> Seveas: I've created a post here, but no reply: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1490776
[22:41] <lubosz> mzuverink: you need the gsynaptics package for that
[22:42] <Lxndr> seveas: whatever happened killed the connection. it's not ethernetting anymore
[22:42] <ovrflw0x> how to i make fonts in firefox and chrome look better like in windows?
[22:42] <velzevool> I installed drivers for my graphics card,but now whenever i scroll down a page,or drag a windows it is very laggy.How do i solve it??
[22:42] <ovrflw0x> do*
[22:42] <Seveas> Lxndr, ah, that sucks. Yeah, reboot.
[22:42] <nakhlawi> !fonts > nakhlawi
[22:43] <mzuverink> lubosz, in gnome there seems no way to just disable it only to disable it while typing, Ill try gsynaptics first, then the xorg.conf if gsynaptics does not work, thank you. peace.
[22:43] <nakhlawi> !fonts | ovrflw0x
[22:43] <nakhlawi> ovrflw0x: I think you can import your windows fonts themselves into Linux. Check that link.
[22:44] <diogo_79> hi
[22:44] <diogo_79> i am having a problem with my nvidia geforce fx 5200 card
[22:44] <velzevool> I installed drivers for my graphics card,but now whenever i scroll down a page,or drag a window it is very laggy.How do i solve it??
[22:45] <diogo_79> after resume from a suspend my laptop screen appears white with vertical lines
[22:45] <usr13> !nvidia | diogo_79
[22:45] <lubosz> velzevool: install other drivers
[22:45] <velzevool> @lubosz I can only find 1 driver
[22:45] <velzevool> in the amd website
[22:45] <usr13> Are you using it now?
[22:45] <velzevool> yeah
[22:46] <lubosz> velzevool: how did you install the driver, which graphics accelerator do you have?
[22:46] <lubosz> ok
[22:46] <usr13> velzevool: How did nv perform for you?
[22:46] <Jordan_U_> velzevool: You generally shouldn't install the drivers from amd's website, instead you should use the ones packaged specifically for Ubuntu from System > Administration > Hardware Drivers .
[22:46] <lubosz> nv does not seem like for amd chipsets usr13
[22:46] <ovrflw0x> nakhlawi, msttcorefonts are already installed still i see not good fonts
[22:47] <E8newallm> What is the Ubuntu error logging system?
[22:47] <usr13> I'm afraid intel clearly won the CPU war.
[22:47] <mzuverink> lubosz, how would I remove it from xorg.conf, just rem it out?
[22:47] <velzevool> @lubosz i m having an hd 4850 and i installed it by right clicking on the file properties/permissions and i checked allow executing file as a programm
[22:47] <nakhlawi> ovrflw0x: I think the x server has the final say over how fonts are displayed.
[22:48] <jk_> On Lucid, how can I prevent NetworkManager from loading at all? I'm managing the network interfaces manually.
[22:48] <lubosz> mzuverink: didnt gsynaptics work for you?
[22:48] <diogo_79> ubottu, i have follow the article but the problem is when i suspend and try to resume the screen stays white with vertical lines. my laptop permits to be connect to a second monitor and when i connect to a second monitor the login screen appears
[22:48] <ovrflw0x> nakhlawi, so what should be done?
[22:48] <Jordan_U_> jk_: Why not remove Network Manger completely?
[22:48] <lubosz> velzevool: didn't you like the driver from ubuntu?
[22:48] <mzuverink> lubosz, it just disables when typing, like I thought
[22:48] <usr13> ovrflw0x: Post a screenshot, (let us see how bad it is).
[22:49] <jk_> Jordan_U_, That I can do, but doing so was a definite no-no on Hardy. Is it now a recommended solution?
[22:49] <madjoe> How can I emulate something like --exclude-dir within the "find"?
[22:49] <diogo_79> the behavior is weird
[22:49] <Seveas> madjoe, http://bpaste.net/show/9288/ -- save that as /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/99playsound and chmod +x it. Edit the last 4 lines to tell it what to do :)
[22:49] <Seveas> madjoe, look at -prune
[22:49] <Seveas> (the manpage explains how to use)
[22:49] <madjoe> Seveas: *MANY* THANKS! ;)
[22:49] <lubosz> mzuverink: type alt+f2 and gsynaptics
[22:50] <velzevool> @lubosz it's not that,i just couldn't launch counter strike:source,also when i was opening playonlinux it was sayin "you dont have a 3d graphics acceleration".Also i couldn't open catalyst control center with the ubuntu drivers.
[22:50] <lubosz> mzuverink: or run it from a shell. or from the menu. you were in the wrong tool, i guess. it disables the touchpad completely for me
[22:50] <usr13> Jordan_U_:  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[22:51] <lubosz> velzevool: check forum threads how to install the amd binary driver and configure it correctly. wine is tough with ati, i guess
[22:51] <nakhlawi> ovrflw0x: I don't know. Maybe you can ask this question to the channel the x server.
[22:51] <ovrflw0x> nakhlawi, http://picpaste.com/Screenshot-oUiJDwkq.png
[22:51] <lubosz> velzevool: i can't really help, since i have nvidia, but maybe its a good idea to check #ati
[22:51] <velzevool> k
[22:51] <Jordan_U_> jk_: I don't know why it wasn't previously recommended, or by whom, so I can't say.
[22:51] <mzuverink> lubosz, on the main sys>>pref>>mouse, where gsysnaptics runs out of, it give no otion to totally disab;e
[22:52] <duffydack> mzuverink, gpointing-devices-settings
[22:52] <mzuverink> lubosz, what about the xorg.conf method, what do I need to do?
[22:52] <lubosz> mzuverink: sys > preferences > tocuhpad
[22:53] <mzuverink> duffydack, that has no didble totally just the same as gynaptics
[22:53] <duffydack> lubosz, there isnt one.
[22:53] <usr13> ovrflw0x: Does it help to just enlarge the fonts?  ( Ctrl-+
[22:54] <mzuverink> lubosz, I have no sys>pref>touchpad
[22:54] <duffydack> mzuverink, not the menu already installed. install the package I just mentioned
[22:54] <usr13> ovrflw0x: Shift-Ctrl-[Plus-Equals]
[22:54] <duffydack> mzuverink, gpointing-device-settings
[22:54] <usr13> a few times
[22:54] <lxndr_> To everyone, jk_, Seveas: It looks like it's working now. Woot! Thank you very much.
[22:54] <Seveas> lxndr_, great :)
[22:54] <mzuverink> duffydack, I did, it did not do it, does same as gsynaptics
[22:55] <jk_> lxndr_, good news! persistence pays off...
[22:55] <lubosz> mzuverink: duffydack: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/258654/ http://i.imgur.com/HEiuu.png
[22:55] <duffydack> mzuverink, works for me..  well I dont know then...
[22:55] <lubosz> mzuverink: sudo aptitude install gsynaptics
[22:55] <lubosz> mzuverink: then you have this option
[22:56] <ubuntubeginnerll> Hello, at install I pressed the wrong language. I want to have ubuntu in a other language, not english. How do I do that?
[22:56] <ovrflw0x> usr13, i have to use ctrl-+ everytime
[22:56] <lxndr_> Question: What is the justification for the movement of the window controls from the right to the left?
[22:56] <duffydack> lubosz, gpointing-device-settings is the successor to gsynaptics.
[22:56] <lubosz> mzuverink: if you don't know how to disable it in xorg.conf, you maybe shouldn't mess with it. read about it
[22:56] <xangua> ubuntubeginnerll: install the language you want system>administration>language support
[22:56] <lubosz> duffydack: ah ok, this worked for me for disabeling the touchpad at all
[22:56] <usr13> ovrflw0x: Is this in Firefox?
[22:56] <plouffe> is this channel under attack?
[22:56] <erUSUL> lxndr_: they want to use the space in the left for something else
[22:56] <ovrflw0x> usr13, chrome
[22:56] <ubuntubeginnerll> xangua,  Thanks so much
[22:57] <nakhlawi> ovrflw0x: chrome fonts are not very good, even in windows.
[22:57] <jrib> plouffe: yes :(
[22:57] <mzuverink> lubosz, thanks, I will go rrtfm!
[22:57] <usr13> ovrflw0x: Try lynx
[22:57] <plouffe> jrib,  Who are the perpetrators? MS, Apple, the guys from Redhat?
[22:57] <jrib> plouffe: lonely teenagers
[22:57] <geirha> erUSUL: You mean right, right? :)
[22:58] <nakhlawi> jrib: Nice one that :-)
[22:58] <duffydack> nakhlawi, if you have windows fonts installed with ttf-msttfonts whatever, then no they look like crap.. remove the ms ones, and then you can set whatever you want.. like I use liberation.
[22:58] <plouffe> man, I feel like a secret agent. Plouffe, this is a security question, what color is a black horse
[22:58] <lxndr_> erUSUL: What is this particular 'something else' that prevents it from occupying the left hand side?
[22:58] <aeon-ltd> plouffe: brown?
[22:58] <erUSUL> geirha: correct ;P the sin of being lefthanded ( it is a good excuse if i use with righthanded people )
[22:59] <geirha> lxndr_: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/333
[22:59] <plouffe> I guess I'm all turing proof, I figured it out
[22:59] <ubuntubeginnerll> xangua,  I have installed the language but how do I activate it?
[22:59] <aeon-ltd> geirha: comic sans? comic sans? COMIC SANS?!!!!!!!!!
[22:59] <xangua> ubuntubeginnerll: close your uses session and select it in the login window
[22:59] <xangua> user*
[23:00] <ubuntubeginnerll> xangua,  Ok, I'll try right now. Thanks very much for replying. I really appreciate it.
[23:00] <geirha> aeon-ltd: Prettiest font there is. That and word art ;)

[23:03] <dublisk> Hi, I'm wondering what you think is the best solution for ~ 5 users connecting to a server to run various GUI apps (e.g. IDEs for coding). I've looked at VNC, X11 forwarding, and nomachine, any others I should look into?
[23:03] <aeon-ltd> dublisk: network booting(PXE)
[23:03] <heffay> I cannot get the stylus on my HP TC4200 tablet/pc working. I'm using kubuntu 9.10. I don't see any Wacom devices listed under lsusb or lspci. I have wacom-tools and xserver-xorg-input-wacom installed.
[23:03] <Seveas> aeon-ltd, how is pxe related to running gui apps remotely?
[23:04] <redbullfx_> i need some help someone.  I have tint2 installed.. all is working great. except, when i autostart tint2 my wifi manager from the taskbar appears in my tint2 at the bottom. i have no idea why.
[23:04] <redbullfx_> Anyway know why?
[23:04] <aeon-ltd> Seveas: it isn't but hosting a OS on a server can allow client machines to do so
[23:04] <usr13> dublisk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ThinClientHowto
[23:04] <Seveas> dublisk, why are the apps running remotely? Just to keep them centralised? In that case LTSP/edubuntu may be something to look at
[23:05] <dublisk> Its one a blade server
[23:05] <dublisk> on
[23:06] <usr13> dublisk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP

[23:06] <CkhiKuzad> How exactly do I install Ubuntu One in 10.04?
[23:07] <lousygarua> If i somehow kill my metacity, can I bring it back without moving to the alt+ctrl+f1 terminal and running something like `metacity --display=:0 &`?
[23:07] <luw> thank you Seveas, im still a little stumped however
[23:07] <heffay> anyone?
[23:07] <usr13> !repeat | redbullfx_
[23:07] <erUSUL> lousygarua: if you have a xterm running in foreground ... :)

[23:07] <CkhiKuzad> D:
[23:07] <Jordan_U_> CkhiKuzad: It's installed by default.
[23:07] <CkhiKuzad> It's not there.
[23:08] <lousygarua> erUSUL, I'll take that as a no :)
[23:08] <focusone> in Ubuntu is there a way to ssh over a console session that has an application running already?
[23:08] <erUSUL> lousygarua: well « alt + f2 » depends on metacity so we enter a catch-22 ...
[23:08] <usr13> !screens
[23:08] <erUSUL> !screen | focusone
[23:08] <focusone> no not a screen... a ssh session..
[23:09] <smc> Well I got it installed, I just let Ubuntu setup the partitions, and I used LVM, because I heard it could be adjusted later.
[23:09] <lousygarua> focusone, screen is a program
[23:09] <focusone> Ohh....
[23:09] <Dr_Willis> Screen is a MUST learn about tool :)
[23:10] <tjubaluba> what is the hotkey to get focus on the program menu?
[23:10] <aeon-ltd> or tmux if you don't like screen
[23:10] <lousygarua> focusone, you basically run screen on the ssh'ed terminal, then you can discnonect, and reconnect, and attach yousrself to the screen and continue where you left it, with all the programs aworking
[23:10] <Seveas> tjubaluba, alt+space
[23:10] <lousygarua> or smt like that :)
[23:10] <nakhlawi> tjubaluba: Alt + F1
[23:10] <focusone> so if I putty in from work I can get to lets say console 1?
[23:11] <Seveas> focusone, no.
[23:11] <focusone> or tty1?
[23:11] <Dr_Willis> focusone:  you get to 'screen session 1' the tty or consol eit was running on - doestne matter
[23:11] <erUSUL> focusone: you get to whatever screen sessions you left running
[23:11] <focusone> ok so my question is how do I do that?  ; -   ( I'm lost...
[23:11] <__cool__> focusone: u have to start the programs already in 'screen' though to connect to them later
[23:11] <Dr_Willis> byobu is screen tweaked to be a bit mor euser friendly
[23:11] <Dr_Willis> focusone:  read the screen docs
[23:11] <erUSUL> focusone: follow the ubottu link
[23:11] <aeon-ltd> focusone: install screen first
[23:12] <focusone> so screen is it..
[23:12] <focusone> ok..
[23:12] <Dr_Willis> focusone:  or byobu
[23:12] <Dr_Willis> !info byobu

[23:13] <Dr_Willis> lxndr_:  in the screensaver/power saver settings dialogs..
[23:13] <tjubaluba> with 10.04 i feel i can leave windows behind if someone just gets some games onto ubuntu/linux
[23:13] <my_haz> why will ubuntu only boot the livecd if there is a harddrive in the computer?
[23:13] <Dr_Willis> tjubaluba:  I play many games in Linux.  :)
[23:13] <infid> ifconfig can't tell you your external IP right?
[23:14] <my_haz> infid: no
[23:14] <infid> my_haz: no to what? that it can or can't?
[23:14] <erUSUL> infid: if you are directly connected to internet; it can
[23:14] <aeon-ltd> tjubaluba: steam is being developed, i think- well valve's denying it but i like to think so
[23:14] <my_haz> infid: ifconfig can not tell you your external ip address
[23:14] <erUSUL> infid: problem is most people are behind a router
[23:14] <tjubaluba> aeon-ltd, ah cool
[23:14] <aeon-ltd> my_haz: bios settings
[23:14] <usr13> !games | tjubaluba

[23:15] <my_haz> aeon-ltd: hmm maybe i was unclear, it _tries_ to boot from the cd, but when i try to run anything (memtest/try without installing) it crashes
[23:15] <lxndr_> I upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04. Now, I cannot get sound to play (except for system alerts). What can I do to get sound to play?
[23:15] <md-llyr> I'm using 10.04. When I try to access a particular adult flash video site  the connection takes quite a while to happen and IF it happens to load correctly Ubuntu wants to download files instead of streaming them. This is using either Firefox or Chrome. Other flash vid sites work fine and I have no problem when booting up the Live CD. ANy ideas what might be wrong?

[23:16] <luw> hi again, so my system settings say "direct internet connection" and for firefox, they say use system settings.  however, with these settings it takes very long to resolve a host.  if i select "no proxy" in firefox, speed seems to be lighting fast again.   IT sounds fishy to me...
[23:16] <aeon-ltd> md-llyr: easy solution. don't use the site. stay away from 'adult' sites
[23:16] <Razican> Hello, I have a problem with Wake On Lan in Ubuntu 10.04. When I shutdown the computer, it doesn't keep the interfaces on. In ethtool it says wake-on: g
[23:17] <usr13> luw: Check to see what nameserver(s) you are using.  ( /etc/resolv.conf )
[23:17] <mzuverink> Solved the turning of touchpad entirely issue through the App>>Sys tools>>config editor, then just found touchpad and turned i off
[23:17] <lousygarua> does anyone has any idea why my xchat is so lagging? i tried the webchat on the same time as xchat was running and the response time there was much faster
[23:17] <md-llyr> aeon-ltd: considering the fact that I'm pushin' 60 'll let that pass
[23:17] <luw> ok one sec usr13, thank you
[23:17] <Jordan_U_> my_haz: What exactly happens when it crashes? (I'm not able to reproduce this problem on my computer BTW)
[23:18] <my_haz> Jordan_U_: after it loads initd.gz the computer stops and reboots
[23:18] <usr13> luw: Are you actually using a proxy server?  Do you have a proxy server on your network?
[23:18] <my_haz> Jordan_U_: this does not happen with DSL livecd
[23:18] <Razican> Hello, I have a problem with Wake On Lan in Ubuntu Server 10.04. When I shutdown the computer, it doesn't keep the interfaces on. In ethtool it says wake-on: g
[23:18] <my_haz> Jordan_U_: but it happens on all the ubuntu livecds i have
[23:18] <my_haz> Jordan_U_: 9/10.04 both 32 and 64bit
[23:19] <usr13> luw: If you are telling firefox to use a proxy server, you are going to bypass what ever nameserver you have coded into /etc/resolv.conf  so....
[23:19] <erUSUL> Razican: try in #ubuntu-server
[23:19] <luw> usr13: no i do not have a proxy setup, i have a name server and thats the only thing listed in my /etc/resolv.conf
[23:19] <luw> usr13: i would like to keep firefox as "use system settings" however, it takes very long to resolve hosts it say
[23:19] <usr13> luw: Then do not tell firefox to try and use a proxer server, (which does not exist in the first place).
[23:20] <luw> usr13: ok understood
[23:20] <Stealth_> Hey
[23:20] <Stealth_> sebsebseb: its working
[23:20] <luw> usr13: however, im wondering how the setting got set in the first place?  is that default?  im a very parinoid person....
[23:20] <usr13> luw: And use the closest / fastest nameserver you can.
[23:21] <sebsebseb> Stealth_: good :)
[23:21] <Jordan_U_> my_haz: The fact that memtest, which doesn't use the linux kernel at all, doesn't have this problem suggests that the problem is somewhere in syslinux. (or rather, it's probably a BIOS bug that in combination with syslinux is causing the computer to reset).
[23:21] <Stealth_> sebsebseb, i was amazed at it to be honest, I did not expect it to work
[23:21] <my_haz> Jordan_U_: is syslinux something that DSL doesn't use?
[23:22] <sebsebseb> Stealth_: I did
[23:22] <Jordan_U_> my_haz: Let me check, I'm betting that it does but possibly a different version.
[23:22] <sebsebseb> Stealth_: and your old partition works fine as seperate /home I assume and all that :)
[23:22] <sam898889> why does this room keep asking me to register?
[23:22] <Stealth_> Yeah sebsebseb
[23:22] <madmike> md-llyr, filthy animal!
[23:22] <madmike> md-llyr, use a different sie
[23:22] <madmike> *site
[23:22] <madmike> ?
[23:22] <Stealth_> All my files are perfect
[23:22] <FloodBot1> madmike: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:22] <sebsebseb> sam898889: probably since the spam bots
[23:22] <luw> usr13: i have a small 1000bt network in my house (< 30 computers) and i only use the nameserver to make my life easier
[23:22] <usr13> luw: Actually, you sould go with the one recommended by your ISP.  But if your router is coded with the one from the ISP you can use the router's caching nameserver, (which it should be sending to your PC to be placed automatically into /etc/resolv.conf in the first place).
[23:22] <sebsebseb> sam898889: and so they change the channel sometimes as a result, the mode of it
[23:23] <sebsebseb> !register |  sam898889
[23:23] <Stealth_> sebsebseb, you are a legend mate =D
[23:23] <sam898889> sebsebseb,  its annoying
[23:23] <faustus> finally
[23:23] <md-llyr> madmike: I beg your pardon?
[23:23] <sebsebseb> sam898889: some channels on the network, only allow registered users as well
[23:23] <Dekonega> I think it's fine
[23:23] <arkaxow> hello
[23:24] <arkaxow> is this the place to ask questions about installation of ubuntu ?
[23:24] <sebsebseb> Stealth_: yeah your welcome, and I expect you learned quite a bit after all that :)
[23:24] <sam898889> but this is for ubuntu help  the first place most people come when they have a problem. and in addition to that some people might not know how to use IRC  ~ thus making a problem, into problems.  i think its not very human at all.
[23:24] <Stealth_> Yeah sebsebseb better than a IT lesson
[23:24] <Dekonega> arkaxow: hello and welcome and yes
[23:24] <sebsebseb> Stealth_: :)
[23:24] <Stealth_> hEH]
[23:24] <focusone> Hi... do you know if there is away to hide an established connection when you do a netstat -an?
[23:25] <Jordan_U_> sam898889: The channel would unfortunately likely be unusably inundated with spam without it. Can we move this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic?
[23:25] <Stealth_> Anyway sebsebseb i am knackered now, will probs be back on tommorow mate, I am going to go in a bit
[23:25] <luw> usr13: it is typical for routers to hold a list of name servers?  i am using smoothwall 3.0
[23:25] <Stealth_> I will pop in to this IRC tommorow however when I have xchat installed
[23:25] <sam898889> Jordan_U_,  nobody there
[23:25] <arkaxow> I was wondering if there was any advantage to formatting a hard disk using the linux file system verus keeping it as NTFS ? I am installing ubuntu for the first time.
[23:25] <sebsebseb> Stealth_: personally I am not much of a fan of xchat, since another client, but yeah ok
[23:25] <Stealth_> ehh I like xchat mate, but each to his own
[23:26] <Stealth_> Anyway mate, see you tommorow
[23:26] <luw> usr13: i am just unsure how the whole thing works
[23:26] <usr13> luw: The list of nameservers is placed there only by the one that sets up the network configurations on it.
[23:26] <Stealth_> have a good night seb mate
[23:26] <sebsebseb> Stealth_: yeah ok your welcome, and have fun with your new Ubuntu install
[23:26] <Hanato_Kobato> Hello, I am having some problem with booting in the live cd installation
[23:26] <sebsebseb> oh he left already, ah well
[23:26] <nakhlawi> arkaxow: Use the Linux-native filesystem, it is better.
[23:27] <arkaxow> nakhlawi: in what ways will it be better ?
[23:27] <sebsebseb> arkaxow: by default Linux file systems are used
[23:27] <sebsebseb> arkaxow: you don't install Linux distros on Windows file systems, useualy
[23:27] <aeon-ltd> nakhlawi: native support :)
[23:27] <sebsebseb> arkaxow: as for why Linux file systems are better, well for a start,  they don't need defragging like Windows file systems
[23:27] <nakhlawi> arkaxow: support is of course better. With NTFS there is reverse-engineering and you could face some issues
[23:28] <Jordan_U_> arkaxow: Ubuntu can't boot without a linux filesystem. There are also other advantages like less fragmentation (to the point that you only need to defrag in extreme situations), journaling and others.
[23:28] <usr13> luw: It is a good idea (once in a while) to check to make sure that the first one on the list is up and running and actually resolving domain names. Actually, now days, most of us just put one in there   and if something happens to it, we just find another to use, (the alternate one suggested by the ISP).
[23:28] <lxndr_> What would cause youtube to be silent in firefox, but have sound in Chrome?
[23:28] <arkaxow> nakhlawi: for example is the linux file system faster ?
[23:29] <usr13> lxndr_: Could be that you are using two different versions of flash player.
[23:29] <Hanato_Kobato> Can I get some help with this silly problem?
[23:29] <nakhlawi> arkaxow: No, I am referring to possible filesystem corruption when you use NTFS as your Linux filesystem.
[23:29] <nakhlawi> arkaxow: instead, use ext3
[23:29] <usr13> Hanato_Kobato: No, because we don't know what the silly problem is.  :)  (Sorry couldn't resist)  (Just ask your questions...
[23:29] <luw> usr13: so i should check this at the user level at this computer here?  how would you go about doing that
[23:30] <Hanato_Kobato> I cannot boot into the 10.10 live-cd installation
[23:30] <arkaxow> sebsebseb: I am installing linux on a separate hard drive with the windows boot drive disconnected. I have video files on there that I have backed up. So formatting is ok. Just wanted to get the opinion if it was advantageous to format as linux. I will be using the other two hard drives as NTFS until I have weened myself from windows and made sure everything is working ok.
[23:30] <aeon-ltd> Hanato_Kobato: what happens? error? reboot? nothing?
[23:30] <usr13> luw: Place the one you want to test in your /etc/resolv.conf and see if it resolves ok.  (Put only one in there and see if it works)
[23:30] <redbullfx_> i need some help someone.  I have tint2 installed.. all is working great. except, when i autostart tint2 my wifi manager from the taskbar appears in my tint2 at the bottom. i have no idea why. Anyway know why?
[23:31] <aeon-ltd> redbullfx_: i have no idea, but is there 2 panels?
[23:31] <Hanato_Kobato> Hmm, I'll be back in a moment..
[23:31] <focusone> Hi... do you know if there is away to hide an established connection when you do a netstat -an?
[23:31] <redbullfx_> aeon-ltd: no
[23:31] <arkaxow> thanks everyone. I will continue with installation and come back if I need help :)
[23:32] <usr13> focusone: man netstat
[23:32] <nakhlawi> arkaxow: sure.
[23:32] <aeon-ltd> redbullfx_: oh, sorry i read wrong. the window spawns under the panel?
[23:32] <Hanato_Kobato> "No init found" and it's taking me to the "BusyBox"
[23:32] <erUSUL> focusone: from root? maybe rotkit makers know how
[23:32] <sebsebseb> aeon-ltd: you intall Ubuntu using Linux file system, and you can use your NTFS's with it
[23:32] <sebsebseb> arkaxow: ^
[23:32] <roxana> Is there a way to view wikipedia offline on ubuntu/
[23:32] <roxana> I want to make it available for someone who has no internet connection.
[23:32] <redbullfx_> aeon-ltd:no
[23:32] <focusone> so a rootkit would do the job
[23:33] <nakhlawi> roxana: the whole website? that is very big!
[23:33] <aeon-ltd> redbullfx_: please describe it more deeply
[23:33] <roxana> nakhlawi,  No
[23:33] <roxana> nakhlawi,  Just articles in Romanian language
[23:33] <aeon-ltd> roxana: thats still a lot
[23:33] <madjoe> Seveas: hi again! I've chmod that file as 755, edited last 4 lines, but it doesn't work.. I tested it on my eth0 connection
[23:33] <lxndr_> How can I make sound play from firefox (youtube). Sound is already playing from every other program, chrome (youtube) included.
[23:33] <roxana> aeon-ltd,  149573 articles:( How much would It be?
[23:34] <nakhlawi> lxndr_: I think firefox is being blocked from using the sound card.
[23:34] <aeon-ltd> roxana: a lot including images, sound files etc
[23:34] <erUSUL> roxana: dwnload an offline version from somwhere http://www.aboutonlinetips.com/download-wikipedia-on-computer-for-offline-access/
[23:34] <roxana> erUSUL,  thanks
[23:34] <lxndr_> nakhlawi: That could be the case. How can I fix it?
[23:34] <Hanato_Kobato> aeon-ltd, it's taking me to the "BusyBox"
[23:34] <roxana> aeon-ltd,  I have like 20 gb available:)
[23:34] <usr13> !flash | lxndr_
[23:35] <nakhlawi> lxndr_: I think if you log off then log on again, start firefox alone and try.
[23:35] <madjoe> Seveas: oh, it's because I don't have mplayer installed.. can I use any other lightweight player that could play WAV files? or would you recommend me to install mplayer for that?
[23:35] <usr13> lxndr_: You could check to see if chrome is using a different version of flash player.  Look in it's plugin dir and compare with mozilla's   (use diff)
[23:36] <infid> why is it i can't scp a file from computer A to computer B if i'm on A, yet if i'm on B i can scp from A to b?
[23:36] <redbullfx_> Well when I dont autostart tint2, the wifi manager in my gnome panel is located where it should be. My tint2 is located at the bottom of my screen. where the windows usually go. but when i autostart tint2, the wifi manager appears on the tint2 bar. its strange
[23:36] <erUSUL> madjoe: aplay ?
[23:36] <usr13> infid: Must be your syntax is incorrect
[23:36] <CkhiKuzad> I can't add my system to ubuntu one -.-
[23:36] <Belboz99> hey all, I need some help with a routing issue on my "server"
[23:36] <Jordan_U_> infid: Is there a router between the two (particularly, is one behind NAT)?
[23:36] <madjoe> erUSUL: ok, I'll take a look
[23:37] <CkhiKuzad> no matter what i try, it's not working.
[23:37] <erUSUL> madjoe: or paplay
[23:37] <focusone> Belboz99: whats the problem????
[23:37] <usr13> infid: In other words, there is no reason why you can't.
[23:37] <madjoe> erUSUL: does it have a GUI?
[23:37] <Belboz99> I've got 3 nic's on my server, 2 wired, one for LAN, one for WAN, plus a wireless AP, the server does all the routing, NAT, and firewall duties for the LAN
[23:37] <focusone> ok...
[23:38] <focusone> so what are you trying to do?
[23:38] <erUSUL> madjoe: no; i thought you wanted some simple command to play a file
[23:38] <madjoe> erUSUL: is there any lightweight player without a GUI? complete robust version and as light as possible...
[23:38] <Belboz99> focusone: the problem in a nutshell is that the wired LAN clients can't ping the wireless, or visa versa
[23:38] <aeon-ltd> Hanato_Kobato: try redownloading the iso and reburning on a clean disc, not really sure how to tackle this since i've never experienced the busybox prompt :(
[23:38] <madjoe> erUSUL: that's the one, then... thnx!
[23:38] <Jordan_U_> !md5 | Hanato_Kobato
[23:39] <focusone> Belboz99: hang on open a private with me and I will see if I can help./
[23:39] <bencc> how can I search a string in files in a folder recursivley?
[23:39] <usr13> infid: scp user-name@192.168.1.x:Documents/file-name.doc .
[23:39] <madjoe> erUSUL: I don't see it in my Synaptic.. how to install paplay?
[23:39] <nakhlawi> bencc: grep <string> *
[23:39] <focusone> apt-get install name
[23:40] <bencc> nakhlawi: is it recursive?
[23:40] <erUSUL> madjoe: comes with pulseaudio afaik may be already there
[23:40] <madjoe> erUSUL: when I search for paplay I get pulseaudio-utils in my Synaptic tho...
[23:40] <nakhlawi> bencc: that would be: grep -d <string> directory
[23:40] <madjoe> erUSUL: that's it
[23:40] <erUSUL> madjoe: yep that's the package
[23:40] <elitexray> I installed qalculate and this program appears twice in my menu. I can't seem to delete one.
[23:40] <nakhlawi> bencc: try it please, I am not very sure
[23:40] <heffay> I cannot get the stylus on my HP TC4200 tablet/pc working. I'm using kubuntu 9.10. I don't see any Wacom devices listed under lsusb or lspci. I have wacom-tools and xserver-xorg-input-wacom installed.
[23:40] <erUSUL> nakhlawi: -R not -d
[23:40] <elitexray> Anyone know how to remove items from menu?
[23:41] <erUSUL> bencc: grep -R string dir/
[23:41] <nakhlawi> erUSUL: thanks.
[23:41] <Jordan_U_> usr13: That's not quite correct. If infid's computer A is behind NAT without port forewarding then it makes perfect sense that A would be able to initiate a connection with B, but not the other way around.
[23:41] <madjoe> erUSUL: works like a charm.. thanks! :)
[23:41] <usr13> infid: OR:  scp user-name@192.168.1.x:Documents/file-name.doc Documents/
[23:41] <erUSUL> madjoe: no problem
[23:41] <aeon-ltd> elitexray: right click on your applications menu and click edit menus
[23:41] <infid> usr13: my syntax is de3finiletly right, i scp files 'to' computers all the time. however i can't here. i can only do an scp 'pull'
[23:41] <usr13> Jordan_U_: Well, he didn't tell me that.
[23:41] <bencc> erUSUL: thanks
[23:41] <infid> usr13: it's probably a firewall issue
[23:42] <elitexray> aeon-ltd. i don't see that option
[23:42] <usr13> infid: If you can not ping the ip address, you will not be able to scp from it.  So try pinging it.
[23:42] <elitexray> oh wait, nm
[23:42] <elitexray> thanks
[23:43] <infid> usr13: if i'm on A, I can scp from A to B and from B to A. But if i'm on B i can't scp to A
[23:43] <aeon-ltd> elitexray: ok glad it sorted it out :)
[23:43] <infid> usr13: i can ping it
[23:43] <Gwar> Hi guys. I am trying to play music through teamspeak, and I can get the mic to pick up what is coming though my speakers, but of course, it then picks THAT up, causing an infinite echo feedback. I am using Alsa. I have googled to no avail. Anyone know how to do this? D:
[23:43] <elitexray> :) it worked
[23:43] <elitexray> qalculate is the best calculator in the world.
[23:43] <elitexray> I wish i could use it on my calculus test.
[23:43] <infid> bc is :P
[23:44] <elitexray> bc as is best calculator?
[23:44] <elitexray> as in*
[23:44] <usr13> infid: ping -p 22 192.168.1.x
[23:44] <usr13> infid: nmap -p 22 192.168.1.x
[23:45] <usr13> infid: I meant nmap not ping
[23:45] <__cool__> why not nc or telnet?
[23:45] <__cool__> nc -v host post ; that's easiest to see the banner
[23:46] <__cool__> uh po*r*t
[23:50] <Gwar> Hi guys. I am trying to play music through teamspeak, and I can get the mic to pick up what is coming though my speakers, but of course, it then picks THAT up, causing an infinite echo feedback. I am using Alsa. I have googled to no avail. Anyone know how to do this? D:
[23:51] <jdawg> I just installed Lucid Lynx on my PC with no other operating systems..when in reboots after installation i get a blank screen with flashing cursor.
[23:52] <tjubaluba> is the syslog message "Sep  5 00:50:37 karlw-laptop kernel: [ 6311.899471] intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: MCP power or thermal limit exceeded" normal?
[23:52] <aeon-ltd> jdawg: any errors during install?
[23:52] <usr13> jdawg: What happens when you do Ctrl-Alt-F6 ?
[23:53] <usr13> jdawg: Nothing else at all on the screen but the flashing cursor?
[23:54] <jdawg> just flashing cursor
[23:55] <Jordan_U_> jdawg: Do you see anything at boot if you hold shift?
[23:55] <usr13> jdawg: And nothing happens when you do Ctrl-Alt-F6 ?
[23:56] <jdawg> I will try that now...what should happen when i hold down key combinations
[23:56] <usr13> jdawg: Or Ctrl-Alt-F7 ?   or  Ctrl-Alt-F8 ?
[23:56] <mobasher> can anyone help me seutp vnc please :)
[23:56] <chilli0> Hello , I'm about to install windows XP , and how can I make it so it doesn't screw with the bootloader? Well , I guess how can I easily reinstall grub so it shows ubuntu and windows xp.
[23:56] <usr13> jdawg: When I say Ctrl-Alt-F6  I mean to hold Ctrl and Alt keys while hitting the F6 key.
[23:56] <Jordan_U_> jdawg: If you boot while holding shift you should get to a menu with more options.
[23:57] <jdawg> will try...brb
[23:57] <massmc> have you installed the vncserver mobasher?
[23:57] <usr13> Jordan_U_: Hope he saw what you said too....
[23:57] <Gwar> Hi guys. I am trying to play music through teamspeak, and I can get the mic to pick up what is coming though my speakers, but of course, it then picks THAT up, causing an infinite echo feedback. I am using Alsa. I have googled to no avail. Anyone know how to do this? D:
[23:57] <VCoolio> !restoregrub | chilli0
[23:57] <usr13> Jordan_U_: Sounds like he is on the machine in question....
[23:58] <VCoolio> !grub | chilli0
[23:58] <Jordan_U_> chilli0: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[23:58] <__cool__> Gwar: if teamspeak has no tek built in to suppress local echoe, i think alsa (the linux sound sys) has not either


[02:13] <tonyyarusso> indeed you are
[03:32] <Takyoji> Any news on 11.04 installfests as of yet (even though it's about 3 months until such)
[03:35] <tonyyarusso> Takyoji: Depends - how's the one you're scheduling coming?
[03:38] <Takyoji> Just have to work on some preliminary factors that I require first, and then I shall then pursue seeing if the specific company would be willing on providing the location for such.
