[04:21] <bad_one21521> can anyone help me install drivers for linksys wusb54gsc
[04:21] <lucs> Ghnuberath: Well, kind of yeah, but like stebalien suggested, 'sudo shadowconfig on' fixed up the shadow and passwd files, so now I feel better :)
[04:21] <ZykoticK9> MeXTuX, try not to log in as root ever.  use a terminal as your regular user and try "sudo sh ./unreal_..."
[04:22] <MenZa> bad_one21521: Please have patience. Someone will help you if they know the solution to your problem.
[04:22] <bad_one21521> ok
[04:22] <lucs> Ghnuberath and stebalien: Thanks!
[04:22] <RegressLess> Ghnuberath: Yes, wishing I had the nVidia Ion
[04:22] <DigitalKiwi> what is this shadowconfig?
[04:22] <mushuukyou> I have installed compiz, enabled desktop cube and rotate cube, but the bindings for rotate cube are not working.
[04:22]  * DigitalKiwi has not shadowconfig
[04:22] <Ghnuberath> RegressLess: haha.  I actually have an intel netbook myself, and it's quite snappy.  But there was a major regression in the intel driver in jaunty which slows everything down
[04:23] <ZykoticK9> DigitalKiwi, shadownconfig is the encrypted /etc/passwd sorta thing
[04:23] <Ghnuberath> RegressLess: potentially to the point where it is unusable.
[04:23] <protos> hmm who runs this channel?
[04:23] <Ghnuberath> RegressLess: this worked very, very well for me: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4
[04:23] <coconut> in emacs, i don't want the cursor to move when I scroll up/down, How can I do ?
[04:24] <Ghnuberath> bad_one21521: have you tried ndiswrapper?  there are some pretty good articles online about making that adaptor work in ubuntu
[04:24] <MeXTuX> ok I did it as you said. It brought me a small setup screen
[04:24] <RegressLess> Ghnuberath: I haven't had any general usability issues, running jaunty with the array.org kernel
[04:24] <lucs> ZykoticK9: Do you happen to know why my default Jaunty desktop install appeared not to use shadow?
[04:24] <DigitalKiwi> ZykoticK9: it is a debianism?
[04:24] <mushuukyou> Would anyone know why the "control-alt-left mouse button" binding for rotate cube for compiz wouldn't do anything?  Have I missed something?
[04:25] <MeXTuX> The only thing that scares me is the Gdk-warning
[04:25] <Ghnuberath> RegressLess: ah.  it's possible that the array kernel reverted the driver itself.  what exactly is slow for you?
[04:25] <ZykoticK9> lucs, "shadow" what's that?
[04:25] <RegressLess> Ghnuberath: trying to record my desktop to show how cool it is
[04:25] <lucs> ZykoticK9: I meant /etc/shadow, related to /etc/passwd.
[04:25] <nullr1> I am back I found that It does connect to the internet  it is just Firefox giving the "connection reset by peer" after loading 2 pages and evolution not working at all.
[04:25] <Madcamper> bah counter-strike source crashed
[04:25] <ZykoticK9> lucs, no idea man.
[04:26] <bad_one21521> linksys wusb54gsc driver help
[04:26] <Thaes> hello, any tell me how do I install gtk2.0 themes in ubuntu? I am trying to install themes from gnome-look.org
[04:26] <nullr1> what are the hotmail servers for evolution? is it pop3.live.com and stmp.live.com?
[04:26] <lucs> ZykoticK9: Ok, thanks anyway :)
[04:26] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: the keyboard shortcuts may not be what you think they are.  try: $ sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager and running CompizConfig Settings Manager from the administration menu
[04:26] <Ghnuberath> nullr1: hotmail doesn't offer POP/IMAP for free, are you paying for it?
[04:26] <Madcamper> any ideas on improving CSS in wine and make the resolution 800x600 available?
[04:26] <mushuukyou> Ghnuberath, I am running compizconfig settings manager... if it's there, then I don't need to run that, do I?
[04:26] <Ghnuberath> RegressLess: oh, like a screencast?
[04:27] <RegressLess> Dr_Willis: you were correct about the movie option in zsnes
[04:27] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: oh, no, if you already have it, you should be fine.
[04:27] <nullr1> no are you sure I can get it on my other account.
[04:27] <mushuukyou> Ghnuberath, I enable rotate desktop, and it doesn't do anything.
[04:27] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: if they keyboard shortcut which is specified isn't working, try changing to something else and testing it again.
[04:27] <mushuukyou> I tried that, too
[04:27] <RegressLess> Ghnuberath: if you want to call it that. I want to make a youtube video to promote ubuntu and show my customized destop.
[04:27] <gbear14275> looking to figure out compatibility of an gigE marvell 8838056 card with ubuntu... is there a compatibility list... or something I can reference?
[04:27] <DigitalKiwi> RegressLess: oh no please don't
[04:28] <DigitalKiwi> there are already so many :(
[04:28] <Dr_Willis> :)
[04:28] <Ghnuberath> DigitalKiwi: so many bad ones.  haha
[04:28] <robert__> which boots faster ubuntu or xubuntu?
[04:28] <ZykoticK9> mushuukyou, try holding button3 on your mouse on the desktop and see if it zooms to cube (button 3 is the scroll wheel usually)
[04:28] <mushuukyou> Ghnuberath, I've tried that, no success.  It's as if it doesn't care about anything.   It's definitely enabled too
[04:28] <RegressLess> DigitalKiwi: don't watch, it's not for you anyway
[04:28] <robert__> i know kubuntu is out of that picture
[04:28] <Dr_Willis> Promoting Ubuntu by showing it can run a 12+yr old emulator. :)
[04:28] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: hmm... did you check out the regular ubuntu keyboard shortcuts settings box?
[04:28] <mushuukyou> Zykotic, nothing.
[04:28] <MenZa> robert__: they boot equally fast. chances are that Xfce (which is what Xubuntu runs) will load faster than Gnome (Ubuntu's default DE)
[04:28] <mushuukyou> umm
[04:29] <DigitalKiwi> RegressLess: that's correct in more ways than you think
[04:29] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: sometimes when they conflict, weird stuff happens.
[04:29] <mushuukyou> Ok where do I go for that?
[04:29] <mordocai> Hello, someone recently showed me a feature in Microsoft Word 2007, and i was wondering if an equivalent is available in openoffice. The feature allowed word to tell you when you were using passive voice, help correct style, and similar things that aren't really directly spelling and grammar errors. Does anyone know if openoffice can do this?
[04:29] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: System -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts
[04:29] <RegressLess> Dr_Willis: no, I was just going to edit is some old school game scenes for fun
[04:29] <DigitalKiwi> http://omploader.org/vMjgyag this is my desktop, RegressLess (and it's not ubuntu, either)
[04:30] <mushuukyou> Ghunberath, Is that something that everyone needs to tend to in order to do the cube thing?  I just installed ubuntu tonight.
[04:30] <Ghnuberath> mordocai: i'm don't think OpenOffice has any NLP that advanced.  or that it's really a priority for them
[04:30] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: no, not generally.  it should work right away.
[04:30] <mushuukyou> yea somethin'gs up.  I rebooted too.
[04:31] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: my last resort would be to remove the compiz configuration directory: $ rm -r ~/.compiz .  To start fresh.   It is rather helpful though... oh well, openOffice is still better.
[04:31] <zulfi> how can i get you tube to play correntley on mozilla fire fox
[04:31] <DigitalKiwi> I have a gf, tyvm
[04:31] <mushuukyou> :(
[04:31] <lstarnes> zulfi: you need to have flashplugin-nonfree installed
[04:31] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: it may be beneficial to backup that directory first.  you'll be able to see it if you press CTRL+H in the Nautilus File Browser.  Then you can right-click on it and use "Create Archive" to back it up
[04:31] <RegressLess> DigitalKiwi: just joking, sorry
[04:32] <Ghnuberath> zulfi: $ sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree
[04:32] <ZykoticK9> mushuukyou, did you also enable "Rotate Cube" i think it's off by default
[04:32]  * DigitalKiwi bets he is more productive with that than spinning cube
[04:32] <mushuukyou> Maybe I'll just reinstall ubuntu all over again instead of having to do that
[04:32] <mushuukyou> zykotic, yes, I enabled that as well as desktop cube
[04:32] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: ZykoticK9 is right.  did you check to see if the "Enabled" checkbox was checked?
[04:32] <mushuukyou> yessss
[04:32] <Dr_Willis> be sure to set where you have 4+ desktops also :)
[04:32] <mushuukyou> where's that
[04:33] <Dr_Willis> general compix settings.
[04:33] <Dr_Willis> in ccsm.. other wise you got no cube :) you got a peice of paper...
[04:33] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: "General Options" -> Desktop Size
[04:33] <ZykoticK9> mushuukyou, Dr_Willis, number of desktops is just right click in the pager
[04:33] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: change horizontal to 4 or something.
[04:33] <mushuukyou> that did nothing, but yes, it's at 4 now
[04:33] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  with compiz that does not change it...
[04:33] <nullr1> on my main account I can get my school live mail (.edu) and my regular one (.hotmail)  in evolution using POP. In the other accounts it just scans and never picks up any new or old messages on either.
[04:33] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  unless they fixed it recently
[04:33] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, it sure does!
[04:34] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: add the Workspace Switcher to the Gnome Panel and try clicking on one of the other three workspaces?  See if the switch is animated.
[04:34] <infid> how do you install mysql 5.1 on ubuntu?
[04:34] <lstarnes> infid: in which version of ubuntu?
[04:34] <infid> i see mysql-client-5.1 and mysql-server-5.1 in apt. do i need both ?
[04:34]  * Dr_Willis really finds the cube an amazing waste of time and effort.
[04:34] <mushuukyou> Ghnub, I turned that off, but when it was on, it was in my taskbar and yes it did turn to another window, but it didnt do it in any animated way.
[04:34] <infid> lstarnes jaunty 9.04
[04:34] <lstarnes> infid: yes
[04:34] <DigitalKiwi> Dr_Willis: ^5
[04:34] <Orpheus> hey
[04:34]  * Orpheus needs some quick help if possible
[04:34] <MenZa> Orpheus: Ask your question, then :)
[04:34] <Dr_Willis> and the cube looks nasty on my dual screen setup.
[04:35] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: do you have any 3d effects at all?  Go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects tab
[04:35] <nullr1> Ghnuberath: It does work and it is free. The problem is not with the POP its with my system.
[04:35] <DigitalKiwi> Dr_Willis: are you a real doctor or do you just play one on IRC?
[04:35] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, so turn Deformations on and make it a Cylinder ;_
[04:35] <KnifeySpooney> In apport-collect, it tells me I need to allow "change anything" priveleges. What is this?
[04:35] <Dr_Willis> DigitalKiwi:  Yes. :)
[04:35] <nullr1> wat
[04:35] <mushuukyou> Ghnuberath, I'm an idiot.
[04:35] <DigitalKiwi> yes to which, that was a compound question :P
[04:35] <Dr_Willis> DigitalKiwi:  yes. :)
[04:36]  * Dr_Willis is the Dr of Love.
[04:36] <zulfi> whats next after it dose that commend thing?
[04:36] <DigitalKiwi> you're a gynecologist ?
[04:36] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: what did you find?
[04:36] <Orpheus> Ok, so I need to print something quickly, and didn't have a printer set up - I plugged in my moms old hp 7660 series printer via USB - the system detected it and it seems to have installed the dirvers, but no matter what I do, it doesn't seem to actually "connect" to the printer in that it won't print out the things in the queue
[04:36] <mushuukyou> Well, I did that, but now my screen is kinda sunken into my monitor.. I might have to reboot or something.but I think that turned stuff on
[04:37] <mushuukyou> My windows do cool stuff
[04:37] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: that does sound like it's turned on.  haha.
[04:37] <mushuukyou> hehe
[04:37] <Dr_Willis> Orpheus:  some hp printers need the hpoj, or hplip tools also insstalled.
[04:37] <ZykoticK9> Orpheus, verify that whatever your printing from is going to CUPS
[04:37] <mushuukyou> Yea, I think I need to reboot.. visually everything is messed up
[04:37] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: then there's nothing wrong with compiz or your computer.  it must just be a configuration thing.
[04:37] <mushuukyou> yea
[04:37] <mushuukyou> thanks
[04:37] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: the cube will work.  just keep playing with it.  make sure the wall is disabled as well.
[04:37] <Bluey> hplip has some crazy dependencies iirc
[04:38] <Orpheus> Zykotick9 - how do I do that?
[04:38] <ZykoticK9> Orpheus, what program are you printing from?
[04:38] <Orpheus> openoffice document
[04:39] <Bluey> open office is pretty bloated
[04:39] <ZykoticK9> Orpheus, when you select Print in OO, in the Name section does it show your printer name or just Default Printer
[04:40] <sako> hey all, where is the menu.lst in ubuntu?
[04:40] <ZykoticK9> Orpheus, also verify that System / Admin / Printing is showing your printer ok
[04:40] <Orpheus> Zykotick9 - it has a name section, where the printer name is filled in, underneath that it has it enabled as the default printer for future print jobs, and underneath that it says CUPS:Photomsart 7600, which is the name of the printer.
[04:41] <Ghnuberath> sako: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:41] <john345> erver chatnet.sextracker.com
[04:41] <ZykoticK9> Orpheus, that all looks correct.  Sorry man, i gots nothing more for ya.
[04:41] <Orpheus> : \
[04:41] <Orpheus> must be my lucky night
[04:41] <Orpheus> :P
[04:42] <Ghnuberath> Orpheus: can you print a test page?  either through the Gnome printer manager or through $ lpr ?
[04:42] <Orpheus> i dont know how to use the lpr command... but i can try
[04:42] <Res2216firestar> I have a question, how can I force display to use 1024x768 even though it doesn't detect anything above 800x800?
[04:43] <innociv> How do I empty the contents of a directory, but not remove the directory itself?
[04:43] <Dr_Willis> innociv:  you mean keep  /stuff/file   but have the 'contents' of 'file' be blank?
[04:43] <innociv> yes
[04:43] <ZykoticK9> Res2216firestar, it's either a graphics card driver issue (you need to install better drivers) OR it's a monitor issue and it can be corrected with xorg
[04:44] <innociv> i have /dir/stuff1 /dir/stuff2 etc and delete all the stuff but dir stay
[04:44] <Dr_Willis> innociv:  proberly have to do some scripting for that using find and rm/touch   in combo.. as one way
[04:44] <shane__> hey all need some help
[04:44] <Dr_Willis> innociv:  delete? as in  you would no longer have just /dir/ but no /dir/stuff1 ?
[04:44] <shane__> i cant get my card reader working
[04:45] <Dr_Willis> shane__:  on some laptops -ive seen that not all slots work in all card readers.
[04:45] <mushuukyou> A problem.
[04:45] <Res2216firestar> ZykoticK9: When I used the nvidia drivers, it was stuck on 640x480, so what would be the relevant xorg setting?
[04:45] <Ghnuberath> Orpheus: I don't quite remember, but I don't think ti was that difficult.  I believe you have to specify the printer from /dev (like /dev/usblp0) and the file you want to print (use a raw text file)
[04:45] <mushuukyou> When I click to enable "desktop cube", my screen shrinks in.. and the mouse cursor is out of sink with what's on the screen.
[04:45] <shane__> That sucks is there a way i can get it workign
[04:46] <mushuukyou> synch
[04:46] <mushuukyou> sink = synch
[04:46] <Dr_Willis> shane__:  totally depends on the laptop and cardrader/chipset its using
[04:46] <Orpheus> Ghnuberath:  I tried "$lpr filename" and got the same response - the gnome system tray pops down a message saying "Not Connected?   Printer 'printername' may not be connected"
[04:46] <kilo> hey all!  anyone familiar with dual x screen setup?  I'm just trying to figure out how to run programs on my second x screen... everything defaults to "Screen 0"  :(:(:(
[04:46] <Dr_Willis> kilo:  DISPLAY=0.1   PRogramToRun
[04:46] <Dr_Willis> kilo:  or simthing like that...
[04:46] <shane__> How do i find the info o see if i can
[04:47] <kilo> Dr_Willis: thanks!!
[04:47] <Dr_Willis> kilo:  i just use twinview. ive rarely seen a need for 2 X displays
[04:47] <Dr_Willis> kilo:  it may be DISPLAY=1.0
[04:47] <Dr_Willis> or 2.0
[04:47] <kilo> Dr_Willis: unfortunately twinview is not good for gaming... the screen sizes get all messed up for me
[04:47] <mushuukyou> Ghnuberath, When I enable "desktop cube", the screen sinks in now.  It's out of synch with my mouse cursor.    Does "$ glxinfo | grep direct" say Yes?  Can you run glxgears?  Basically that would all have to be TRUE, then it's just a monitor detection issue which could, if need be, manually put into an xorg.conf file - but you'd need to know the technical specs of your monitor.
[04:48] <innociv> ah.. ill just delete them one at a time
[04:48] <Orpheus> Ghnuberath:  I dont know if this is related, but when i use lsusb to scan my usb drives, i it shows my usb mouse, but not myusb printer....
[04:49] <Dr_Willis> innociv:  if you just want to DELETE the files thats  doable with find, and the proepr arugments. :)
[04:49] <Ghnuberath> Orpheus: yeah. that's not good.
[04:49] <innociv> it was just 5 things this time at least
[04:49] <kilo> Dr_Willis: Well, I'm trying to play Wow and be able to browse the internet at the same time... unfortunately, WoW asks the OS what resolutions are available, and (with twinview enabled) the OS can only spit back 3360x 1050 (which is the resolution of BOTH monitors, side by side)
[04:49] <innociv> ifit was more i guess i'd just remove them mkdir lmao
[04:49] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: that is really weird stuff.  try googling your particular video card with compiz?
[04:49] <Orpheus> ....interesting....   : /
[04:49] <shane__> i can see the card reader but i can not mount it
[04:49] <kilo> Dr_Willis: hence why I'm stuck with dual X
[04:49] <Ghnuberath> Orpheus: does $ dmesg | tail say anything when you connect the printer?
[04:49] <mushuukyou> it worked fine before when I had ubuntu on here
[04:49] <Dr_Willis> kilo:  i normally just run it in a window that way i can just mouse over to the 2nd monitor to do the browsing.
[04:50] <Dr_Willis> kilo:  thats what i do for LOTRO all the time
[04:50] <kilo> Dr_Willis: I'd love to do that, but still run into the resolution problem
[04:50] <Dr_Willis> kilo:  wow is setable  - you can just tell it what size window to use. or shouldbe able to..
[04:50] <kilo> Dr_Willis: wow doesn't seem to have default resolutions built in
[04:50] <Dr_Willis> been ages since i last messed with WoW
[04:51] <Res2216firestar> ZykoticK9, I both are true, and I know what resolutions, refresh rates, and color depths work on windows, so I'll try the xorg.conf
[04:51] <Dr_Willis> kilo:  check the wine appdatabase, perhaps theres some wow configs you can tweak
[04:51] <Ghnuberath> mushuukyou: sorry, I'm out of ideas without seeing it for myself haha.  I'd just backup and nuke the ~/.compiz directory and try again
[04:51] <kilo> Dr_Willis: you can set it... to whatever resolutions the OS says are available  XD
[04:51] <soreau> Ghnuberath: FWIW, compiz doesnt store its settings in /.compiz
[04:51] <HorizonX1> hey, how do I install the video driver for my Intel 945G in jaunty?
[04:51] <dayeejeremy> hello
[04:52] <Ghnuberath> soreau: really? i thought it did?  is it in gconf instead?
[04:52] <dayeejeremy> hj
[04:52] <Ghnuberath> HorizonX1: it should work out-of-the-box
[04:52] <d9500> what is a good choice for a lightweight login manager to use on a fresh install of the LXDE desktop environment on top of a previously command-line only ubuntu installation? the gdm requires about 130 extra packages that i don't want to install just for a login manager.
[04:52] <soreau> Ghnuberath: If you install an additional plugin(s), it will install to /.compiz. The settings are saved on different locations depending on whih backend you use
[04:52] <kilo> Dr_Willis: unless there's a setting in xorg that I'm missing... I don't know if you can define resolutions there?
[04:53] <ZykoticK9> Res2216firestar, the xorg.conf is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- and the section you want is "Monitor" you'll need to add at least and appropriate HorizSync and VertRefresh lines -- be careful you can ruin your monitor this way!!!
[04:53] <HorizonX1> Ghnuberath: well, it's laggy, and compiz doesn't seem to want to work
[04:53] <Ghnuberath> ah
[04:53] <needhelp> ah
[04:53] <Dr_Willis> kilo:  You can.. but the game is just reading what the system is tellingit.. WoW has so many config options/files I bet theres one you can edit to set the default res.
[04:53] <soreau> HorizonX1: You need help getting compiz to work?
[04:53] <Ghnuberath> HorizonX1: Jaunty had a huge regression in intel performance.  you need to revert your driver to the Intrepid version. worked for me on my netbook. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4
[04:54] <kilo> hmmm I'll look into it
[04:54] <needhelp> System>Administration>Hardware Drivers
[04:54] <kilo> Dr_Willis: it sure would be nice to get back to twinview...
[04:55] <ZykoticK9> kilo, you do know that you can switch between twinview and single monitor in the same session using nvidia-settings and the Apply button right?
[04:55] <Ghnuberath> soreau: that is really unfortunate.  sure makes it more difficult to reset.  I guess an aptitude purge and reinstall might do it?
[04:56] <kilo> ZykoticK9: yes, you mentioned that before, but I'd really like to be able to browse the web, or otherwise use that second monitor.
[04:56] <HorizonX1> Ghnuberath: ok, trying it now
[04:56] <soreau> Ghnuberath: I assume the intel driver will be much better in Karmic
[04:56] <Ghnuberath> HorizonX1: it will remove your old intel driver.  you'll have to restart the computer
[04:57] <ZykoticK9> kilo well if you figure out how to run it in a windows instead of fullscreen you could do it.  Good luck.
[04:57] <Ghnuberath> soreau: I believe they've got the UXA stuff working almost as well as EXA used to.
[04:57] <soreau> Ghnuberath: For resetting compiz settings, you should always use ccsm>Preferences>Reset to Defaults
[04:57] <Ghnuberath> soreau: see now that's just cool.  never saw that. thanks!
[04:58] <nullr1> I give up on my admin acc every webpage and evolution load fine. In the other accounts which the internet worked on 2 days ago now it loads random pages and any web search renders the dreaded "connection reset". So my new question is. My home folder is in a separate partition if I install the new beta and mount that partition as my home partition will all of my stuff still work?
[04:58] <arielCo> Hello everyone.!  Xorg is reading the right settings for my Synaptics driver from the fdi policy file, but they aren't being honored. Any idea why? http://pastebin.com/d7b67e599
[04:58] <kilo> ZykoticK9: it is easy to get it to run in a window. that's not the problem. the problem is the resolution. unlike normal games, wow asks the OS for the available resolutions and Ubuntu is only kicking back the total resolution of both twinview monitors.
[04:58] <Ghnuberath> soreau: if you're curious about the progress of intel in karmic, phoronix has some good articles: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel_q309_flakes&num=1
[04:58] <soreau> Ghnuberath: Let's hope they got uxa working just as well because that will be the only option from now on ;)
[04:58] <JGodbout> Hey dudes. I have just installed Jaunty, and the sound is not working in Amarok 2 at all. I have installed the codecs, and sound is working in everything else (rhythmbox, pidgin, etc.)
[04:58] <JGodbout> Any ideas?
[04:59] <ZykoticK9> kilo, AHHH Light comes on.  No - I still gots nothing for ya.
[04:59] <soreau> Ghnuberath: and finally, anywhere you see a yellow brown icon in ccsm, clicking it will reset that individual setting
[04:59] <Ghnuberath> JGodbout: i don't have Amarok 2 myself, but it may be worth making sure that it's sound preferences are set to use PulseAudio
[04:59] <Ghnuberath> JGodbout: instead of ALSA
[04:59] <soreau> Ghnuberath: Err.. Yellow Browm icon
[04:59] <Ghnuberath> soreau: haha, yeah i knew about that one ;)
[04:59] <soreau> Ghnuberath: Yellow Broom* sorry
[04:59] <ZykoticK9> kilo, actually could you add additional resolutions to your xorg.conf file?
[04:59] <kilo> ZykoticK9: hehehe   ;)    you see my dilema   ;)
[05:00] <chu_> Hey guys, when trying to install an icon set (Mist), by just dragging it into the Appearances window, I get the following error "Cannot move directory over directory" any idea what this means?
[05:00] <kilo> ZykoticK9: that's what I was thinking!  but I can't find any example syntax anywhere....
[05:00] <Guest36137> hey all
[05:00] <Guest36137> just installed eeebuntu on my asus 901, can't access the 12 SSD
[05:00] <Guest36137> any ideas
[05:01] <Ghnuberath> chu_: when you drag an icon set into the window, it extracts it to a directory.  maybe the directory already exists?
[05:01] <chu_> Ghnuberath, where would I search for this directory?
[05:01] <Ghnuberath> chu_: um... ~/.icons, /usr/share/icons
[05:02] <chu_> Cheers Ghnuberath
[05:02] <Ghnuberath> chu_: my pleasure :)
[05:02] <kilo> going to qitch back to twinview... brb
[05:02] <chalcedony> how would i play an mp4 on Jaunty ?
[05:02] <kilo> switch*
[05:02] <ZykoticK9> kilo,         Modes      "1400x900" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[05:02] <kilo> ZykoticK9: where do I add those? at the end?
[05:02] <Ghnuberath> chalcedony: you probably need the Ubuntu Restricted Extras
[05:02] <JGodbout> Ghnuberath: I can't actually find anywhere in Amarok 2 where I can change the sound device
[05:03] <Guest36137> any ideas anybody
[05:03] <Ghnuberath> chalcedony: you can find it in Add/Remove Applications
[05:03] <chalcedony> Ghnuberath, ok and?
[05:03] <Guest36137> im new at this
[05:03] <chalcedony> ah
[05:03] <ZykoticK9> kilo, no!  - could you pastebin your xorg.conf?
[05:03] <Guest36137> what do i put into terminal
[05:03] <JGodbout> Ghnuberath: I remember in Amarok 1.x I could change it, but I don't think I can in this. What should my sound settings be like (the ubuntu ones, not amarok)? I've been trying different combinations of ALSA/PulseAudio/AutoDetect etc.
[05:04] <chalcedony> Ghnuberath, do you know the name of something that will play them? i'm bad with guis
[05:04] <Ghnuberath> JGodbout: I haven't actually used Amarok 2, so I'm not familiar with the preferences window.  You want it to be using PulseAudio under Jaunty
[05:04] <Ghnuberath> Ghnuberath: you can use pretty much any music player.  Exaile, Amarok, VLC, MPlayer are all good choices
[05:04] <Guest36137> okay, who can help me
[05:04] <Ghnuberath> chalcedony: Oops, sent that to myself. you can use pretty much any music player.  Exaile, Amarok, VLC, MPlayer are all good choices
[05:05] <Ghnuberath> JGodbout: I'd be surprised if Autodetect didn't default to pulseaudio, but it may be worth explicitly setting it to use PulseAudio and seeing if it works then.
[05:05] <kilo> how do I pull up an old pastebin?   :P
[05:06] <Ghnuberath> JGodbout: also, it may be worth trying Amarok on its own (with no browsers or other sound-using applications open) to see if it plays.  Logging out and in again should knock out anything that could interfere.
[05:06] <Ghnuberath> JGodbout: if it works under those circumstances, I'd say that it's definitely using ALSA instead of pulse
[05:06] <Ghnuberath> JGodbout: or that you don't have the codec for the file you're trying to play ;) haha
[05:06] <JGodbout> Nah, I got all the codecs
[05:07] <Ghnuberath> JGodbout: then the pulse thing is still my best guess :)
[05:07] <Ghnuberath> JGodbout: sorry I can't be of more help.   The new GUI in Amarok 2 - and having the KDE libs in my memory all the time - kinda made me want to hurl so I switched to Exaile.
[05:07] <ska178> is it possible to destroy a laptop fan by using duster to clean a laptop?
[05:08] <Ghnuberath> ska178: if it's an industrial powered vacuum, I wouldn't stick my laptop near it.
[05:08] <angelus> is there a terminal command to put Linux to sleep
[05:08] <Ghnuberath> angelus: there is, but it's not as nice as $ sudo shutdown
[05:08] <Ghnuberath> angelus: from what I remember, you have to run the sleep script manually
[05:08] <angelus> Ghnuberath i sorta need it no matter how ugly it is ...
[05:08] <lstarnes> Ghnuberath: including thr $ in the command may be confusing to some users
[05:08] <lstarnes> *the
[05:08] <angelus> do you know where it is ??
[05:08] <ska178> ghnuberath: just canned air, the kind you get at the store to clean electronics. I cleaned my computer today and turned it on and the fan hasn't moved at all
[05:09] <Ghnuberath> angelus: but I can't remember where the sleep script is, sorry.
[05:09] <lstarnes> angelus: it might be sudo suspend
[05:09] <angelus> no worries .... i'll try taht lstarnes
[05:09] <JGodbout> Ghnuberath: Thanks for the help man, I will try those things
[05:09] <Ghnuberath> JGodbout: my pleasure. hope it works :)
[05:09] <lstarnes> angelus: wait, it isn't
[05:10] <angelus> gah ... no its not ... *googles script*
[05:10] <lstarnes> angelus: suspend suspends bash, not the system
[05:10] <angelus> lol for me "comman not foundd"
[05:10] <Ghnuberath> angelus: i think it's /etc/acpi/sleep.sh
[05:10] <Ghnuberath> angelus: but I'd save your stuff before trying it ;)
[05:11] <Ghnuberath> lstarnes: you're probably right about the $.  it's a bad habit haha. hopefully people will call me on it if they're confused
[05:11] <Guest84168> hi
[05:11] <ska178> I cleaned my laptop with canned air today. I turned on my computer and the fan isn't moving. Is it possible that using canned air on a computer vent would break a fan?
[05:12] <Ghnuberath> ska178: I don't think canned air can break a fan.  I'd say it's very unlikely.  But that's just based on my experience.  Is the laptop hot?
[05:13] <mow> ska178 > something is probably stuck in the fan
[05:13] <angelus> >.> .... running the script does nothing >.>
[05:14] <DVS01> ska178: what probably happened is you ended up lodging some dust into the fan, causing it to get stuck
[05:14] <Like> hi
[05:14] <chu_> Yay! Thanks again Ghnuberath it all works fine now :)
[05:14] <chu_> See ya guys.
[05:14] <ska178> is it save to open a laptop and fix that? i've opened pc but never a laptop
[05:14] <r0b0tchicken> How do I disable ipv6 in 9.04, 2.6.28-15   ?
[05:14] <Ghnuberath> angelus: take a look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=410570
[05:14] <DVS01> yeah, just make sure you keep track of all the screws and stuff
[05:15] <Like> hi I install sugar
[05:15] <Like> in uruguay
[05:15] <Like> boys team
[05:15] <lstarnes> r0b0tchicken: why do you need to disable it?
[05:15] <angelus> YAY thanx Ghnuberath
[05:15] <ska178> dvs01: the only this is I have no idea how to crack open this presario..i've searched google and the hp forums and couldn't find anything helpful
[05:15] <Ghnuberath> angelus: hope it works :)
[05:16] <Ghnuberath> ska178: it can be very easy, or very hard, depending on the manufacturer.  HPs tend to have ALOT of screws.
[05:16] <Ghnuberath> ska178: I believe that HP offers a manual on their support page for each laptop, detailing how to dismantle it (with pictures)
[05:17] <kilo> ok, back on twinview.... now I just need to find a way to set xorg to be able to allow other programs to pull different resolutions other than 3360x1050... anyone have any ideas of the syntax for that?
[05:17] <Darkedge> Is Red Hat Or Florida right for me?
[05:17] <ska178> yeah, I've seen that link a lot but everyone I've clicked on was broken..I'll check again to make sure
[05:17] <Darkedge> I mean, In the way of speed?

[05:18] <dan_> no not like in paint something more accurate that plots it on the point exactly
[05:18] <Ghnuberath> dan_: but not using a spreadsheet program?

[05:19] <kilo> oh wow.... so running a virtual desktop seems to do the trick!!  anyone have any ideas how I can get the virtual desktop to run in the other monitor on twinview though??
[05:19] <ericzhang> 大家好啊
[05:20] <kilo> wow, ubuntu is so left-right oriented.... it really doesn't like it if your peripheral monitor's on the left, does it    :P

[05:21] <infid> how do i see all the packages related to php i have installed?
[05:21] <Ghnuberath> kilo: usually there is a way to switch it, but since the contents of xorg.conf have been reduced, I'm not sure how it works anymore.
[05:21] <Ghnuberath> infid: Try using the Synaptic Package Manager.  search for packages where the package name involves "php"
[05:21] <angelus> to any of those interested, i found a much prettier solution >>http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=813387, you want the post by _moo<<<
[05:21] <pete_> open synaptic
[05:21] <ericzhang> thank you
[05:21] <kilo> Ghnuberath: u mean since I switched to twinview?
[05:22] <pete_> infid, open synpatic, type php in search, hit installed
[05:22] <quentusrex_> I just had an ubuntu jaunty server crash,
[05:22] <quentusrex_> it fully rebooted.

[05:22] <infid> thanks
[05:22] <Like> why i got a Nautilus script
[05:22] <Ghnuberath> kilo: i just mean in general. Twinview, BigDesktop.  you're right about it defaulting to the left-right setup.  I gave up on trying to get multiple displays working a long time ago.
[05:22] <Like> even i click a window
[05:22] <Ghnuberath> kilo: so my knowledge on the subject is at least a year out of date :(

[05:23] <Like> kilo
[05:24] <infid> i did 'apt-get remove php5' but i still have php5 in both apache and the command line

[05:25] <pete_> ok
[05:25] <Ghnuberath> infid: yes, it will list the packages you can remove which match what you've typed so far

[05:32] <Miki800> hello
[05:32] <Miki800> is there anybody here?
[05:32] <soreau> nope
[05:32] <Miki800> anyone can assist me?
[05:33] <DigitalKiwi> someone
[05:33] <soreau> Not if you dont ask your question
[05:33] <DigitalKiwi> if you ask, might
[05:33] <Miki800> how smart of you
[05:33] <Miki800> anyways I've just installed 9.10 via wubi
[05:33] <Miki800> and I've booted into it
[05:33] <Miki800> instead of a complete installation, I see the desktop as I would when I'd boot from a live cd
[05:33] <DigitalKiwi> sarcasm will get you nowhere! >:(
[05:33] <Miki800> no I do not have a cd right now so I booted from the wubified installation
[05:34] <DigitalKiwi> !karmic
[05:34] <soreau> Miki800: What is missing exactly?
[05:34] <bazhang> Miki800, #ubuntu+1 for karmic support
[05:34] <Miki800> hello
[05:34] <Miki800> I accidently logged off
[05:35] <Miki800> who was just talking to me right now?
[05:35] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 for karmic support Miki800
[05:35] <soreau> Miki800: What is missing from your wubi install exactly?
[05:35] <d9500> what package would I need to install in order to install the build and header files for my current kernel? I've already installed the linux-headers package for the running kernel, but I'm not sure what packages the "build" ones would be.
[05:35] <Miki800> oh thanks, bazhang, actually its the first time I'm IRCing, so I just type /join #ubuntu+1?
[05:35] <mkilo> thanks for the suggestions earlier.... I forgot how nice xchat is    XD
[05:36] <mneptok> Miki800: Karmic questions in #ubuntu+1 please
[05:36] <bazhang> Miki800, correct
[05:36] <soreau> d9500: I guess it would be the kernel src or source package if it exists
[05:36] <mneptok> soreau: FYI, #ubuntu is solely for questions on released versions
[05:36] <Miki800> and soreau - the thing that is missing is the username I chose when I was in XP, the only icon I have on desktop is  "Install Ubuntu 9.10" as expected from a live cd ... but I'm not in one.. so I'll go now to #ubuntu+1 and ask there...
[05:37] <soreau> mneptok: Of course. I didn't see anywhere he mentioned his version of ubuntu
[05:37] <soreau> Miki800: If you have 9.10, you need to ask in #ubuntu+1
[05:37] <brz> hey, if I have sshd installed on ubuntu, and want to display the current motd, what command would i execute? keeping in mind I want to do this as when I scroll up, the motd is gone!
[05:38] <mneptok> brz: cat /etc/motd && cat /etc/motd.tail
[05:38] <mkilo> anyone have any ideas how to move the virtual desktop in wine away from the left side of the screen?  or to switch which monitor it displays in in twinview?
[05:39] <mkilo> I'd ask in #winehq, but no one's awake in there   ;)
[05:41] <Ledif-Nieht> I am setting up Ubuntu for my mom to use and I want to make it as simple as possible, is there a way to make it so that there is only one desktop instead of the usual two?
[05:42] <soreau> Ledif-Nieht: That depends on which WM you're usig I guess
[05:42] <Ledif-Nieht> Nevermind, I figured it out.
[05:42] <Ledif-Nieht> Right click on the desktop navigation area, preferences.
[05:42] <Ledif-Nieht> Thanks.
[05:42] <varmont> hai all
[05:43] <d9500> soreau: that didn't work. I still get an error telling me that I need to install the build and header packages when I try to install the virtualbox guest additions in my ubuntu virtual machine
[05:44] <soreau> d9500: Which guest os are you using?
[05:45] <d9500> soreau: i'm using ubuntu as the guest OS.
[05:45] <soreau> d9500: Sorry, I meant host
[05:45] <d9500> archlinux
[05:46] <soreau> d9500: And you're trying to install guest addons in ubuntu?
[05:46] <gbear142751> so I setup my first headless server tonight.  Selected just the openssh server and virtual machine host as the services... anyone have any advice on anything else to do for my 1st headless install?
[05:47] <d9500> well, yes. I like the way arch starts with only a small base and lets you build on whatever you want, so I started the same sort of project with an ubuntu minimal, command-line only install, and add packages as I need them.
[05:47] <d9500> mostly just for the fun of it.
[05:47] <Mqueue> hello
[05:47] <innociv> how do i move dir/folder1/*contents to  dir/folder2?  Move on folder1 is going to make dir/folder2/folder1/*contents
[05:47] <Mqueue> i changed my hostname and now i can't login as root ? any suggestions ?
[05:47] <Miki800> hello
[05:47] <Jeruvy> !root | Mqueue
[05:47] <soreau> d9500: Seems like you're missing some package but not sure which. You might also try asking the the vbox channel
[05:48] <Miki800> is it possible for any known wubi installation to create a live-cd--ed desktop instead of the one configured by the wubi?
[05:48] <MeXTuX> When I type cat /proc/cpuinfo got cpu MHz: 2400.000 and I'm pretty sure my CPU is an Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.20GHz. What does it mean??
[05:48] <Jeruvy> Miki800: you shouldn't use wubi, instead use a real install, or a livecd version
[05:49] <soreau> MeXTuX: Means someone's lying there ;)
[05:49] <Miki800> I know that, yet I still need to know if such a mistake is possible
[05:49] <DrGenius> is there a way to make it automatically install dependent programs?
[05:49] <soreau> Miki800: With karmic not being released yet, anything's possible
[05:49] <Mqueue> i understand that root does not have a a password...i mean to say when i'm trying to switch user in terminal i can't login anymore
[05:49] <Miki800> lol
[05:49] <soreau> DrGenius: apt-get build-dep <pkg> IIRC
[05:50] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: no doubt, did you install 'root terminal' from synaptic?
[05:50] <DrGenius> thx soreau
[05:51] <Mqueue> Jeruvy>> yes i was working with apache and it was giving me some message about the hostname so i changed it using the hostname serverX.com from moe-desktop
[05:51] <Mqueue> Jeruvy>> now when i try to do sudo or su it says that my password is incorrect i'm confuesed as to what i did
[05:52] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: hmm is this an apache question about 'valid hostname', or an ubuntu question about root logins?
[05:52] <angelus> how do i check if my use input is empty ??
[05:52] <heyboy> I am trying to upgrade to 9.10 but getting error at "Setting Software Channels" stage and exiting. Any ideas?
[05:52] <coreyman> what is a good ftp server
[05:52] <Mqueue> Jeruvy>> well it was an apache issue but now i can't run synaptics or any other root tools

[05:54] <KnifeySpooney> I'm trying to use apport-collect to add to one of my bug reports, but I'm getting this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/289812/ . Anybody know how to fix this?
[05:54] <coreyman> !ftp | coreyman
[05:54] <innociv> how do i move dir/folder1/*contents to  dir/folder2?  Move on folder1 is going to make dir/folder2/folder1/*contents
[05:54] <innociv> mv rather
[05:54] <KnifeySpooney> innociv: mkdir dir/folder2/folder1
[05:55] <innociv> ?..
[05:55] <KnifeySpooney> then cp dir/folder1/* dir/folder2/folder1
[05:55] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: can you explain what you did exactly?  It shouldn't be hard to reverse it back.  Perhaps your hosts file needs to be fixed, or re-running hostname will fix it.
[05:55] <jetscreamer> trailing /
[05:55] <bullgard4> lsusb: "Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:089d Logitech, Inc. Are the two numbers decimal numbers?
[05:55] <jetscreamer> hex
[05:56] <jetscreamer> 046d:089d <-hex
[05:56] <Mqueue> okay all i did was ran a command as root  "hostname serverX.com"
[05:56] <innociv> KnifeySpooney, that is omitting directories
[05:56] <jetscreamer> cp -R
[05:56] <jetscreamer> or cp -a .. man cp
[05:56] <innociv> ty
[05:57] <KnifeySpooney> innociv: oh, sorry didn't read that. cp -R is correct
[05:57] <Mqueue> Jeruvy>>  then it changed my hostname from "moe-desktop" to "serverX.com" but now i can't login with my root password anymore
[05:57] <jetscreamer> -R for sure, i forget what -a does
[05:57] <jetscreamer> i might be confusing it with something
[05:57] <DrGenius> how can i mount my windows raid0 partition under ubuntu?
[05:58] <jetscreamer> omg this is ubuntu how did that happen :)
[05:58] <jetscreamer> ah my >20 cahn limit didn't kick in
[05:58] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: which looks like a domainname, it should be like 'mybox' or qualified with a domain parameter ie: mybox.serverX.com
[05:58] <jetscreamer> chan
[05:58] <bullgard4> jetscreamer: What does lsusb output two hexadecimal numbers separated by a colon? What do the two numbers mean?
[05:58] <bullgard4> s/What/Why/
[05:59] <jetscreamer> it's the device id # i believe
[05:59] <skreeves> vendor and product IDs
[05:59] <jetscreamer> or what he said
[05:59] <jetscreamer> google it and it will come up
[05:59] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: so change it back: hostname mybox
[05:59] <bullgard4> skreeves: Thank you.
[06:00] <d9500> soreau: I found the package I need to install. It was the generic headers package instead of the one specific to the kernel
[06:00] <jetscreamer> ah that's better... >20 now
[06:00] <KnifeySpooney> I'm trying to use apport-collect to add to one of my bug reports, but I'm getting this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/289812/ . Anybody know how to fix this?
[06:00] <Mqueue> Jeruvy>> the problem is that i closed that terminal window where i was logged in with root password and now when i open a new window i run "su" and it says enter password so I enter the password and it says "Authentication failed"
[06:00] <shawn_> How can I get games that naturally run in Full screen to run in a window?
[06:01] <jetscreamer> sudo not su
[06:01] <jetscreamer> if you want to change the pw, sudo passwd .. frowned upon i believe
[06:01] <Mqueue> Jeruvy>> would you like me to pvt you the message i'm getting to have an idea ?
[06:02] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: ah, then my guess it to run recovery mode, press escape during a fresh (re)boot and select recovery options, that should get you a root shell
 shit i'm scared to reboot now that will kill the PC completely lol
[06:03] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: not at all
[06:03] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: and watch the language please..this is family friendly channel :)
[06:03] <Mqueue> oh i'm sorry
 just having a bad day lol
[06:04] <jony123> theres something wrong with the audio on my laptop so i was wondering is there a way mto force all the output audio threw the network and to my server(local network)?.
[06:04] <kraito> when i try and save my nvidia screen resolution i get this, Unable to create new X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'. , can anyone help with this?
[06:04] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: no worries.  try the recovery.  You can't fubar it any worse now :)
 so basically u're saying is that i should restart and select recovry mode instead of booting from live CD
[06:05] <wangside137> Hey there .. I'm the sysadmin for a beowulf cluster running Ubuntu, and I've recently been plagued by users overusing the LAN traffic (between the compute nodes and the head node).  The system will hang, and this always coincides with "nfsd" showing up at the top of "top".  Is it possible to decipher which users are hogging the network traffic??
[06:05] <_Andrew> Anyone where the artwork template for open office impress is? I want the gimp file specifically
[06:05] <DrGenius> how can i mount my windows raid0 partition under ubuntu?
[06:06] <Jeruvy> !fakeraid | DrGenius
[06:06] <jetscreamer> DrGenius: i'm not sure but i think you want to look at 'lvm
 okay let's kick it off and hope to god it works..thanks mate ;)
[06:06] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: cheers.
[06:07] <bullgard4> lsusb detects my newly bought usb webcam which I have plugged in. What Ubuntu 8.04 program will  trigger that my webcam takes a phot shot? What Ubuntu program will show this photo shot on my display screen?
[06:07] <bullgard4> s/phot/photo/
[06:07] <DrGenius> thx for ur help, but i'm not reading a 13 chapter book with 4 appendices just to mount this crap
[06:08] <Jeruvy> DrGenius: then I'd kill the raid0  and change it to JBOD
[06:09] <DrGenius> that might be feasible if i didn't have 600+gb of stuff with nowhere to back it up to
[06:09] <Jeruvy> DrGenius: with 1TB USB's going for under $100, that isn't a problem :)
[06:09] <kraito> \join #compiz
[06:10] <DrGenius> so to mount my raid0 partition i have to read a 13 chapter book or spend $100
[06:10] <DrGenius> why is linux so anal?
[06:10] <EvilAIM> what?
[06:10] <Jeruvy> DrGenius: I think your trolling
[06:10] <EvilAIM> I think you're an idiot...
[06:11] <DrGenius> i think you're trolling if your best suggestion is to read that or spend $100
[06:11] <shawn_> DrGenius nobody is forcing you to use Linux it's not for everyone and if you don't like it then switch to another OS.  Either way there's no point complaining about it here.
[06:11] <Jeruvy> DrGenius: because you are not factual, your pendantic
[06:12] <Jeruvy> like shawn_ said, the choice is yours.
 yippy it worked
[06:12] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: my man :)
  ok that's good i think it didn't change the host file but instead change the hostname variable so that's why when i rebooted it came back to the same place thank god
  thanks mate for the quick help ;)
[06:13] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: normally that isn't a dangerous command, but as you found it can be :)
 very..lol...it scared the living jeepers out of me
[06:14] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: glad it helped you out.
[06:14] <Bookman_> I have a remote machine on my local network that I'd like to log into via an x session.  Is this possible?  The remote machine does not have a user logged in and just hast the login screen displayed.
 thx take care :)
[06:15] <Dalix8> hi
[06:15] <DrGenius> i will try again with ubuntu v11 and see if it's any more conducive to productivity.  Not enough hours in the day to expend effort on technical matters that OS programmers are supposed to take care of.
[06:15] <Jeruvy> !hi | Dalix8
[06:16] <shawn_> !ot | DrGenius
[06:16] <Krux0> Bookman_, look up VNC, use one that integrates with X. I did it some time ago but i forgot.
 since we resolved this problem maybe u can help me with one too then
[06:16] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: you've got me for a few more minutes :)
[06:16] <DrGenius> for starters this dialog "can not install because you don't have x, y, z dependencies" -- why does ubuntu think i care?  if it has a problem, and knows the solution, why doesn't it just freaking do what it knows needs to be done!
[06:16] <Mqueue> Jeruvy>> what does this message means "apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <IP_ADDRESS> for ServerName"
[06:16] <Dalix8> Hi I am a new ubuntu user but I am having issues with my sound
[06:16] <Dalix8> can someone help me please
[06:16] <DrGenius> vista here i come peace
[06:17] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: that is a dumb bug, you can either ignore it or 'add' an entry to set the hostname so apache is not complaining.
[06:17] <Dalix8> :'(I dont have sound
[06:17] <Dalix8> Help
[06:17] <Dalix8> PLease
[06:17] <soreau> ! audio | Dalix8
[06:18] <Bookman_> Krux0: Yeah, I thought I did it before but I cannot remember how.
[06:18] <Mqueue> Jeruvy>> okay that's fine...but when i try to do phpinfo(); it says u wana open the file ?? why is that i installed php thru apt-get
[06:18] <Dalix8> Ty I will try
[06:18] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/353594
[06:19] <soreau> Bookman_: Look into gdmsetup
[06:19] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: thats another issue, offhand I think your missing a package
[06:20] <Mqueue> Jeruvy>> hmm...basically i was trying to get php and mysql going instead of using xampp
[06:20] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: for details check out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[06:20] <Mqueue> Jeruvy>> okay thx let me check that thx
[06:20] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: yw and good luck.
[06:21] <Bookman_> soreau: thanks, I will, but I'm actually looking into tightvnc at the moment.  I think it is what was looking for.  At least it appears to be on the surface.
[06:21] <Dalix8> Correct me if I am wrong, but I used to run freespire and I did not have any problems with the sound...  I believe that my hardware should also be  supported by UBUNTU correct?
[06:21] <soreau> Bookman_: AFAIK, vnc can only login to an X session that is already running a vnc server. GDM has an option for remote login through gdmsetup IIRC
[06:21] <Mqueue> Jeruvy>> yea i read that post...i didn't say much about php5 installation and what it said i tried apprently the packages are there but the php is not linked with apache somehow
[06:22] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: your missing something check the package requirements
[06:23] <Dalix8> I have install all the updates properly
[06:23] <Bookman_> soreau: Well alright then.  You might have just saved me some time!  Thanks.
[06:23] <Dalix8> but...
[06:23] <Dalix8> still not working
[06:24] <Dalix8> Music seems to be playing on the player but no sound :(
[06:25] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: or it could be a mismatched package (one for php4 when your using php5 for example)
[06:25] <Miki800> when launching a live-cd installation thats stuck, freezes.. and I want to destroy that process via system monitor whats the name of the process I should look for?
[06:25] <Dalix8> .
[06:25] <Mqueue> Jeruvy>> okay i tink i got it
[06:26] <Mqueue> Jeruvy>> that was quite simple...wicked u rock homes
[06:26] <soreau> Dalix8: Did you try ubottu's suggestion? Did you look at the link he gave you?
[06:26] <Dalix8> mmmm
[06:26] <xangua> Miki800: live cd¿ how much ram do you have¿
[06:26] <Mqueue> Jeruvy>> this helped http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/installing-php5-and-apache-on-ubuntu/
[06:26] <dmj727> I'm thinking of setting up a Karmic box, but I'm not sure if I should wait until the release or not.
[06:26] <Dalix8> ty
[06:26] <Dalix8> I ll be back
[06:26] <Miki800> @xangua ram? I don't have a problem with ram (have 4g) I just want to kill the installation process
[06:27] <Jeruvy> Mqueue: it does :)  sometimes the howtos there are a bit vague, but that one is good.
[06:27] <sako> can i get root access in ubuntu??
[06:27] <Miki800> @xangua and I'm not actually running this from a disk, this happend to be a wubi installation generating unexpected livecd desktop on the hardisk
[06:27] <sako> without sudo
[06:27] <dmj727> I would plan to keep the box around for a while, so I was wondering if installing the beta would have any lasting negative effects.
[06:27] <kermit> sako: set a root password with sudo passwd
[06:27] <sako> ah ty
[06:27] <kermit> sako: then you can login as root or su to root
[06:27] <Bookman_> soreau: Ok, I cannot seem to find out a good link to enable/use gdmsetup
[06:28] <Miki800> so the "Install" window, how do I kill it? whats the name of it's process I should look for?
[06:28] <xangua> Miki800: well i woult suggest create a partition to install linux
[06:29] <soreau> Bookman_: Just type 'gksu gdmsetup' in your terminal then click on the Remote tab
[06:29] <Billiard> Miki800, you can run the command xkill then click on the install window, if you really need to kill it
[06:29] <Miki800> @xangua thanks for the tip, I will do that as soon as I finish checking out this simple safe way of using ubuntu without risk of destroying MBR or ntldr :)
[06:29] <Miki800> @Billiard thanks so much :)
[06:30] <hipitihop> I'm running latest karmic beta (mythbuntu) which by default uses xfce. Recently the task bar on top always shows whereas it used to not be visible when another app has focus, any ideas how to reinstate ?
[06:30] <emspace> i'd like a CLI way for user1 to "su -s /bin/sh --login user2". I can add it to sudoers, and it works, but I then want to make it an easy command. but if I alias the command, running the alias doesn't match the sudoers file. Any thoughts on a nicer solution?
[06:30] <xangua> !karmic | hipitihop
[06:30] <Bookman_> soreau: ok, that is fine for the server, how do I access the server from the client?
[06:31] <soreau> Bookman_: No idea. I never used it before ;)
[06:31] <Bookman_> soreau: ah, got you
[06:31] <dmj727> ubottu: would it be better to ask my quesion in #ubuntu+1?
[06:32] <Jeruvy> dmj727: if you like things breaking, then sure and ask questions in #ubuntu+1, but it's only 20 days away..
[06:32] <hipitihop> xangua: are you saying because it is beta then nobody knows how to resolve
[06:33] <kilo> anyone have a recommendation for something to replace Gnome Panels?
[06:33] <Jeruvy> hipitihop: no, it's offtopic for this channel is what you've been told.  Please join us in #ubuntu+1
[06:33] <Dalix8> A little question....What is apache2 for?
[06:33] <kilo> they're driving me nuts....
[06:33] <lstarnes> Dalix8: it's a web server
[06:33] <xangua> why kilo ¿
[06:33] <korin43> kilo: What do you want to do? If you want something dock-like (think OSX) try gnome-do
[06:34] <Dalix8> would that help me with my sound problem?
[06:34] <lstarnes> Dalix8: I don't see how a web server could help with sound
[06:34] <Dalix8> my neither
[06:34] <kilo> ya, I'd like something that just has "applications" "Places" "System" and a few shortcuts, but it a more modifiable or moveable medium
[06:34] <Dalix8> I was looking for help
[06:35] <Dalix8> because I dont have soound
[06:35] <kilo> korin43, I'll check out gnome-do, thx
[06:35] <Dalix8> I was given alink with that
[06:35] <lstarnes> Dalix8: do you know what kind of sound card you have?
[06:35] <Dalix8> mmmm
[06:35] <lstarnes> Dalix8: try lspci | grep -i audio
[06:35] <korin43> kilo: If you want something like a gnome-panel but with different content, you can just rearrange or add/remove from the default panels (I usually remove the top panel and put everything I want on the bottom one, then use gnome-do for shortcuts)
[06:35] <Dalix8> k
[06:36] <Dalix8> here it is
[06:36] <Dalix8> lspci | grep -i audio
[06:36] <kilo> korin43, I'm running dual monitors and I can't get the panels to go to the monitor I want them on... they kinda get in the way   :-\
[06:37] <korin43> kilo: I'm not used to working with two monitors.. is the problem that they are on both monitors and you want them only on one?
[06:37] <xangua> kilo: have you tried alt key + grab the panel/s ¿ ...
[06:37] <Dalix8> C-media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev10)
[06:37] <Dalix8> that is my sound card
[06:37] <kilo> xangua, ... you're a friggin genius...
[06:37] <lstarnes> Dalix8: is that the full line that you get?
[06:38] <Resistol> what is currently the most useable (deployable) open source electronic health record?
[06:38] <Dalix8> nope

[06:38] <kilo> korin43, I just couldn't move them to the other monitors... xangua solved that for me   ;)
[06:38] <Dalix8> that is it
[06:38] <korin43> kilo: Sweet :)
[06:38] <soreau> Bookman_: I did a bit of googling and I think this may be of help to you http://blogs.koolwal.net/2009/04/16/linux-remote-desktop-part-2-connect-to-gdm-or-kdm-login-screen-using-vnc/
[06:39] <korin43> I'm trying to learn GTK+ and have no ideas for things to make as practice. Does anyone have any ideas of things that would relatively simple to do? (and not pointlessly easy like Hello World apps)
[06:40] <kilo> xangua, I meant those statements completely as a thank you   ;)
[06:40] <Bookman_> soreau: Hey, thanks, greatly appreciated.  I was googling away as well!
[06:41] <bullgard4> What program will allow me to manipulate the items in the GNOME menu hierarchy ?
[06:41] <lstarnes> Dalix8: I'm not sure how to set up that model of sound card
[06:42] <skreeves> bullgard: System / Preferences / Main Menu
[06:42] <Dalix8> Can someone assist me , Please I dont have sound.. This is my sound card: Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)

[06:43] <bullgard4> skreeves: Ah, thank you very much for your help.
[06:43] <innociv> how do i run an install.sh file?
[06:43] <Dalix8> I think the sound card is fine
[06:44] <Dalix8> Because I had freespire and worked fine
[06:44] <xangua> innociv: what do you want to install¿
[06:44] <Bluey> innociv chmod +x install.sh
[06:44] <innociv> aped
[06:45] <jjmor5> anyone know if anyone is working on tv wonder 650
[06:45] <kilo> well, that was the final step... FINALLY got WoW to work in Twinview with acceptable visual settings!  Thanks everyone for your help!!
[06:46] <Dalix8> Is there a big difference between freespire and ubuntu when it comes to sound?
[06:47] <jjmor5> what is wow ?
[06:48] <scunizi> jjmor5: World of Warcraft.. large online game you pay money monthly for
[06:48] <jjmor5> ok thanks
[06:49] <jjmor5> what is the main diff between 904 and 910 ?
[06:50] <Dalix8> Please I need help with no sound!!:'( This is my sound card: Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)
[06:50] <korin43> jjmor5: 9.04 is stable, 9.10 isn't.
[06:50] <scunizi> jjmor5: stable vs. beta ... latest release vs. next release
[06:51] <jjmor5> is it a major upgrade from 904 when finished ?
[06:51] <sako> what does /opt stand for?
[06:52] <scunizi> jjmor5: major? not really.. just another step.. the one after will be considered LTS "Long term support".. there's a release every 6 months.. most are supported for only 18 months.. the LTS version is supported for 3 years.
[06:53] <jjmor5> i use 904 but dont see a lot of upgrades from 904 to 910 unless i missed something !
[06:53] <korin43> jjmor5: The updates will be available when 9.10 is stable (it's not out yet)
[06:54] <jjmor5> i usually go every other one on my installs
[06:54] <scunizi> jjmor5: there are notes on the difference planed.. there's always backend stuff you never really realize is there unless it interfears with somethign
[06:54] <korin43> jjmor5: When 9.10 comes out, the updater will prompt you to update, and it will be just like any other update, except bigger. I tested it, and it won't look noticeably different. The main change will be that all of your programs will be updated to more recent versions.
[06:55] <dallix1> I am having a problem with gnome applets in ubuntu 9.04 ppc here is a screenshot : http://www.zshare.net/info.html?66745305-889d11157f9c006cf664d70ebfabd541
[06:55] <jjmor5> sorry i meant ubuntu itself what improvements from 904 to 910, sorry about that
[06:56] <dallix1> i get a screen that looks like that when ever I boot, is there anything I can do to restart those applets?

[06:59] <rgmz> how to change a login theme using terminal
[06:59] <Maelos-> Hi guys.  Will I be able to upgrade fairly easily from the karmic beta to final once it's available?
[06:59] <Enriquei> what should I put in the server_args for /etc/xinetd.d/xvnc so that if user A is physically logged in and the screen is displayed on a monitor, when someone logs in via VNC as user A, they both share the same desktop?
[06:59] <Mainfiyel> i need some help: yesterday evening i made an upate of the intel drivers from xorg-edgers and now my nb only starts in 800x600 because it cant find any modeline or the config for display
[07:00] <xinyou> _bt  bt?
[07:07] <roger_b> when you left click and drag your mouse on the desktop, can you change the look of that
[07:08] <eduardo> Hey there, I'm on eeebuntu and my sound has suddenly gone away. =[
[07:10] <Eso> anyone? help with my no-sound problem?
[07:10] <Qayos> Eso-  try unmute?
[07:11] <Eso> Qayos: i've turned lineout all the way up. no good.
[07:11] <Eso> and it's not muted
[07:11] <Enriquei> lineout?
[07:11] <Enriquei> =\
[07:12] <roger_b> what sound card you have
[07:13] <Eso> roger_b: I've no idea. but it was working fine until a couple hours ago
[07:14] <roger_b> Eso have you changed anything since it last worked
[07:14] <Eso> roger_b: i muted it. when i tried to unmute it no longer worked
[07:15] <Eso> I also installed some update but i don't recall what it was called
[07:15] <Qayos> hah, i was right! ;)
[07:15] <Qayos> try rebooting?
[07:15] <Eso> I've rebooted. did not work
[07:16] <Eso> i rebooted into my winXP partition and that had sound working just fine.
[07:17] <roger_b> Eso i know from person expierence on a nvidia board, i've updated sound and the digital sound was enable
[07:17] <roger_b> so i had to untick it
[07:17] <roger_b> but your case might be different
[07:17] <Eso> roger_b: how i could i try that?
[07:18] <SuspectZero> is there way i can simulate the effects of an apt-get upgrade?
[07:18] <roger_b> Eso volume control preferences
[07:18] <Flannel> SuspectZero: What do you mean by simulate?
[07:18] <Brainy|phpBB> Anyone know when the packs of CDs for 9.10 go on sale/are available for ordering?  Clearly they can't ship until code release, but it would be nice to be able to pre-order
[07:19] <SuspectZero> Flannel, like in gentoo there is a pretend option for emerge
[07:19] <Eso> roger_b: go on...
[07:19] <Maelos-> SuspectZero: -s, --simulate, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon, --no-act
[07:19] <roger_b> Eso try this, bring up your volume control, click on the preferences at the bottom
[07:19] <SuspectZero> ah awesome
[07:19] <SuspectZero> ty
[07:19] <Flannel> SuspectZero: Right.  --simulate will work, there's other synonyms
[07:19] <SuspectZero> thanks
[07:20] <roger_b> Eso see if you have an IEC958 switch
[07:20] <KruyKaze> i just formatted a terabyte drive with ext4 and gparted says 14gigs used how come?
[07:20] <Eso> roger_b: nope
[07:21] <roger_b> Eso without knowing your sound card it's difficult to track down the problem
[07:21] <roger_b> Eso if it's not as simple as mute

[07:23] <grendal_prime_> X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
[07:24] <grendal_prime_> ive googled it but non of the possible fixes work
[07:24] <BioVorE> grendal_prime_: need to allow it?  xhosts allow maybe?
[07:24] <grendal_prime_> really?
[07:24] <grendal_prime_> on the server?
[07:25] <Eso> roger_b: "hardware drivers" shows absolutely nothing
[07:26] <roger_b> Eso device manager
[07:26] <Eso> roger_b: where do i find that?
[07:26] <roger_b> Menu->System Tools
[07:27] <Eso> roger_b: menu?
[07:27] <grendal_prime_> nope it wont even let me run that..for some reason i get the same error
[07:27] <KruyKaze> can anyone help me format a drive?
[07:27] <grendal_prime_> and xhost is not an x11 app

[07:29] <Eso> roger_b: system > prefrences, system > administration. neither has "system tools"
[07:30] <Eso>  /facepalm. applications > system tools
[07:30] <Eso> roger_b: there's no device manager there
[07:31] <roger_b> Eso hit alt+f2 and type in the box to run gnome-device-manager
[07:31] <Eso> roger_b: Error stating file '/home/eduardo/gnome-device-manager': No such file or directory
[07:32] <roger_b> Eso i gotta hit the sack dude, sorry, maybe try alsa or pulseaudio channel

[07:38] <nc_> hello
[07:38] <nc_> can somebody help me with something ?
[07:39] <cpt> I listen to you...
[07:39] <KB1JWQ> nc_: Whatever you do don't ask an actual question.
[07:39] <nc_> there is this problem with my X11 ... I see this strange pixel here ... do you know what it could be that is causing it ?
[07:39] <nc_> i took a screenshot here http://bit.ly/1246mk
[07:40] <korin43> is there any way to make XChat not show all the join/quit messages?
[07:40] <dux70> #ubuntu-it
[07:40] <cpt> And answer my actual question: I have removed uuid in fstab, how can i get uuid again? May it be create or know?
[07:40] <pngll> I'm having trouble setting up a public key authentication system with a new user. On the client side, I get Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive). In the server logs: Failed publickey for <user> on port xxxx.
[07:42] <korin43> if anyone else clicked nc's link, type alt+f2, type terminal, hit enter, type pkill <browsername>
[07:42] <esun`> Q
[07:42] <nc_> ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
[07:42] <KB1JWQ> Sorry about the noise.
[07:42] <cpt> People, has anybody answer to my question?
[07:43] <jetscreamer> cpt
[07:43] <jetscreamer> ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
[07:43] <jetscreamer> edit to taste in the form of
[07:43] <jetscreamer> UUID=whatefver
[07:43] <ryguy> I cant get ubuntu 9.04 to download and install my display driver. When I click on System>Admin>Hardware Drivers, it finds "ATI/AMD FGLRX graphics driver" but when it install it crashes
[07:43] <jetscreamer> instead of /dev/blah
[07:46] <ryguy> brb restart
[07:47] <nic1> what is the command too check sys configurations?
[07:48] <cpt> jetscreamer, I have edited: I have removed uuid in fstab and I want to come it back...
[07:48] <jetscreamer> cpt: kinda like this, but change the number to what you see with ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid for the disk you want :
[07:48] <jetscreamer> UUID=e56ffbde-0944-4e92-bc2d-6d89d24e544a	/	jfs	defaults,errors=remount-ro	0 1
[07:49] <jetscreamer> instead of /dev/sda2	/	jfs	defaults,errors=remount-ro	0 1   or whatever
[07:49] <jetscreamer> change the jfs to be your filesystem, and / to wherever you're mounting it
[07:49] <jetscreamer>  / if it's root
[07:49] <cpt> I know
[07:49] <jetscreamer> wel there ya go.. gtg
[07:52] <grendal_prime_> ugg
[07:52] <cpt> jetscreamer,ls: it is not possible to get access to /dev/sda4/by-uuid: Not a directory
[07:52] <Animagladius_> Night
[07:54] <cpt> UUID=e56ffbde-0944-4e92-bc2d-6d89d24e544a / jfs defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 it is from fstab? Syntax likely /etc/fstab
[07:54] <cpt> and I know directories' names in Linux
[08:02] <cpt> jetscreamer, thank you!

[08:17] <abongile> Hi All, I can't get networking, leds at back of NIC working, cable work but no networking in Ubuntu netbook remix. Have tried /etc/init.network/ restart and I get an error grep:/etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory. Please help.
[08:17] <lavee> oh ok... bye
[08:17] <concretesledge>  is there an older version of linux that will work good on a pentium 3 , with 256mb ram
[08:19] <RPG_Master> I am having some issues with Gnome-MPlayer
[08:19] <RPG_Master> It won't play ANYTHING :(
[08:19] <RPG_Master> I can open a file in it but as soon as it loads the file it says "stopped"
[08:19] <RPG_Master> help me :(
[08:20] <RPG_Master> Also, I can't get normal MPlayer to load :/
[08:20] <RPG_Master> click on it in my applications menu does nothing
[08:24] <abongile> Hi All, please help, I can't get networking working. I am new to linux. Lights NIC working, Cable works with other comps, /etc/init.networking/ restart does help and error grep: etc/resolve.conf: No such file or directory. The NIC is on board, how do I solve this problem? Thank you
[08:25] <jmuir> hello
[08:26] <FireCrotch> abongile: try creating the file /etc/resolv.conf - that error message should go away
[08:29] <abongile> FireCrotch: I am new to linux, so I need a dummies guide to sorting out the problem: What would the file (/etc/resolve.conf) have to contain? Do I really need it, if yes why? Would it then solve my networking problem?
[08:30] <iceroot> abongile: its containing your nameservers
[08:30] <FireCrotch> abongile: /etc/resolv.conf typically contains a line that gives the address of your nameserver
[08:31] <iceroot> abongile: syntax is:   nameserver ip-adress-of-the-server
[08:31] <FireCrotch> abongile: If the file just plain doesn't exist, stuff breaks because it looks for that file.
[08:31] <FireCrotch> abongile: I assume that you're on a home network, in which case, the address that you should use is the IP of your router
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> my  /etc/resolv.conf
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> http://pastebin.com/f22e527dc
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> for an example. It has 2 opendns entries.. and my home router.
[08:33] <FireCrotch> Dr_Willis: Won't those two opendns entries just be ignored 99% of the time, since your router will consult your ISP's nameservers?
[08:34] <FireCrotch> Dr_Willis: Unless your router is set up to use the OpenDNS servers
[08:34] <dux70> #ubuntu-it
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> FireCrotch:  its set to use them also. :)
[08:35] <Dr_Willis> FireCrotch:  actually i think this box got them from the router and put tim in the reslov.conf

[08:41] <franck> Hi
[08:41] <wazzup> hi franck. were you talking to me?
[08:42] <franck> I'm not sure what's happening my server has gone crazy, I cannot have an application opening new sockets
[08:42] <franck> I don't see anything in the logs
[08:43] <franck> I restart ssh and it just hangs there... waiting
[08:43] <franck> and no socket is open
[08:43] <franck> arghhhh.....
[08:43] <wazzup> anyone use Miro? It seems like the homepage is down. specifically, the "Miro Guide" and "Miro Audio Guide" will not load anything.
[08:44] <Dr_Willis> wazzup:  i noticved that earlier today also
[08:44] <wazzup> when i click the open in browser button i get: "Secure Connection Failed" and "Peer's Certificate has been revoked."
[08:44] <Dr_Willis> sounds like server issues to me
[08:44] <Stronze> i cant get my externel dvd drive to work.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/289871/
[08:45] <wazzup> Dr_Willis: Yeah most likely. I was just checking to make sure it was on my end
[08:45] <wazzup> wasn't*
[08:45] <al_> EVening peoples!!!!
[08:45] <al_> been busy here tonight???
[08:45] <wazzup> hi
[08:46] <wazzup> al_: no idea, i just got on
[08:46] <al_> hey wazzup, ah k
[08:47] <al_> as a newbie, i have to admit, now that I have persisted with it I am really begining to like Ubuntu
[08:47] <al_> still a long way to go, but getting there
[08:48] <wazzup> I switched from windows about a year ago. I still got plenty of stuff that I really want to learn, but I'm a complete fan of linux now
[08:48] <Stronze> wazzup - same for me. been a year
[08:49] <wazzup> I joined the army and am shipping out at the end of the year. My position is Information Technology, so i'm hoping that they use linux enough that i can get in on that
[08:50] <mew-chan> As root whats the command to via ALL users ?
[08:50] <sako> wazzup: what country?
[08:50] <mew-chan> ie if i wanted to know the names of the accounts
[08:50] <mew-chan> i tried users
[08:50] <mew-chan> and it only gave me my name back
[08:50] <lstarnes> mew-chan: look in /etc/passwd
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> or in /home
[08:51] <Dr_Willis> !info mmpong-gl
[08:51] <wazzup> al_: USA
[08:51] <wazzup> I'll be a good ole imperialist soldier
[08:51] <sako> wazzup: good luck, and thank you for your services in advance :)
[08:51] <sako> wazzup: ppl like you keep this country a pleasure to live in.
[08:51] <wazzup> oops sorry that was sako
[08:52] <wazzup> thanks :)
[08:54] <wazzup> What's weird is that every computer I've seen the Army use so far is Windows. It seems like a weird choice with all of the security vulnerabilities
[08:54] <goose> wazzup: idiot friendly OS
[08:55] <joaopinto> !ot
[08:55] <mew-chan> i've got root access yet i can't change the pass of non root
[08:55] <joaopinto> mew-chan, sudo passwd user
[08:56] <wazzup> goose: yeah. they lock them down like crazy too. all of the recruiters computers take about five minutes to boot!
[08:56] <mew-chan> AH! i was doing it wrong i was doing sudo user passwd thanks
[09:00] <don_martino_> can anybody help me with this http://paste.debian.net/48674? i can't get the umts-connection working using networkmanager.
[09:03] <innociv> chmod +x install.sh doesn't seem to execute the file.  It's basically like a text file with bash commands in it
[09:04] <goose> innociv: chmod +x just sets it as executeable
[09:04] <innociv> Then how do I execute it?
[09:04] <goose> in terminal: cd ~/dir/where/.sh/file/is, then ./blahblah.sh
[09:04] <goose> or maybe it's "sh blahblah.sh"
[09:04] <goose> one of the two
[09:04] <Qayos> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Feisty   <--- says to do "upgrade" and not "dist-upgrade" but then talks about kernels... which are kept-back for non dist-upgrade, right?
[09:04] <innociv> ah
[09:04] <Qayos> or am i missing something?
[09:04] <mlissner> Hi, is there an easy way to reset the umask value for a user?
[09:05] <foofish> innociv: or bash /path/to/shellcript.sh
[09:05] <innociv> ./shellscript.sh did it
[09:05] <innociv> ty
[09:05] <goose> you're welcome
[09:05] <goose> that's the first time I've ever done #ubuntu support (that worked) while drunk
[09:06] <Flannel> Qayos: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will work just fine
[09:06] <Qayos> okay, thats not what the help page says to do... thanks though
[09:07] <Flannel> Qayos: right, someone got confused apparently
[09:07] <Qayos> ok, thanks... i'm not really experienced with this stuff, and so am highly skeptical when what I think disagrees with the docs (usually means i'm wrong)
[09:08] <vadmin> hello
[09:09] <foofish> mlissner: put a umask statement in the shell startup file, i guess
[09:11] <mlissner> foofish: yeah, I finally found it after hunting around for far too long /etc/profile
[09:11] <mlissner> foofish: If I just ask on IRC, the hunted thing always resolves itself immediately. Thanks for the help.
[09:11] <mnaines> Is there a program I can use to zero-out a hard drive?
[09:11] <mlissner> mnaines: dd
[09:11] <Billiard> lol
[09:11] <mnaines> mlissner: dd?
[09:12] <mlissner> mnaines: yeah, I'm no expert, but you can use dd something like dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd1
[09:12] <mlissner> mnaines: or something like that.
[09:12] <mlissner> mnaines: BUT IT WILL DELETE EVERYTHING.
[09:13] <mnaines> Can I choose which drive it deletes?
[09:13] <foofish> mnaines: i guess you really want shred
[09:13] <mlissner> yeah, that's what /dev/sd1 refers to, roughly.
[09:14] <foofish> mnaines: which attempts to securely delete individual files
[09:14] <mlissner> mnaines, foofish: maybe, if random data is what's wanted, there's /dev/random
[09:14] <mnaines> foofish, apparently there are remnants of old partition tables left on the drive, taking up about 2.7GB of space
[09:15] <mlissner> mnaines: you might have better luck with gparted
[09:15] <mnaines> mlissner: Nope...Tried that
[09:15]  * Blank__ wonders if it's worth enlarging his swap partition
[09:15] <mlissner> mnaines: oh, well...try dd...my syntax isn't right, but it's close.
[09:15] <rot> Hello. In nautilus, I can go into properties and change the icon of a folder to a custom one. Can the same be done from the commandline? I want to use it in a script
[09:15] <foofish> mnaines: i'm not sure what zeroing out partitions that you can't access anyway will achieve...
[09:16] <Flannel> mnaines: shred can do it
[09:16] <foofish> mnaines: what happened when you tried gparted?
[09:16] <mnaines> I tested the disk through testdisk and apparently the old partition tables are ghosts and its an NTFS map
[09:16] <mnaines> It says the partitions are marked as deleted
[09:17] <foofish> mnaines: can you not create a new partition in the unused space?
[09:17] <mnaines> I can create a partition in the unused space, but it says that there is 2.6GB used after I am done
[09:17] <alfatau> hello, i'm trying to migrate my workbench from a windows xp platform to an ubuntu one. I'm looking for some applications wich can be an equivalent replacement of windows' ones. The actually most important are: MikTex and TeXnic Center and Windows Media Player (or another audio player wich supports fast playback without changing pitch). Can you advise some good app to me? thanks
[09:18] <mnaines> Apparently, fdisk is saying the data starts at sector 63 instead of sector 1
[09:18] <bain> alo
[09:18] <mneptok> alfatau: look at LyX
[09:18] <foofish> mnaines: odd. not sure i can help, but maybe dumping the output fdisk -l into a pastebin will clarify things
[09:18] <foofish> *of
[09:18] <MenZa> alfatau: As for MikTeX, texlive (which is in Ubuntu) is far better. For editors, there are several around you can use.  Bad, bad mneptok!
[09:19] <leo> When I try to ./configure proxychains, it says "checking for working aclocal-1.4... missing". How to fix this
[09:20] <mneptok> MenZa: people that code TeX by hand do not need anything more than a text editor
[09:20] <foofish> alfatau: you shoudl check out emacs + auctex, too, while you're at it: apt-get install preview-latex should pull in a lot of goodies
[09:20] <MenZa> mneptok: indeed. TeXnicCenter is nice, though; gives you buttons for compiling to PDF, DVI, etc., as well as just building bibtex indexes and such. It's quite nifty.
[09:21] <foofish> MenZa: once you get over the learning curve, you have all that jazz in auctex
[09:21] <mneptok> MenZa: and it's hardly doing it "by hand"
[09:21] <mneptok> (TeXnic Center)
[09:21] <MenZa> foofish: Not everyone enjoys the horror of Emacs.
[09:21] <MenZa> mneptok: I write all my code by hand in TeXnicCenter.
[09:22] <MenZa> However, this is... straying.
[09:22]  * MenZa coughs.
[09:22] <Qayos> alfatau-  try kile
[09:22] <MenZa> Kile is supposed to be really good yeah.
[09:22] <Qayos> it is the one i see most recommended for LaTeX in Linux
[09:22] <Qayos> I have it installed, tested it out a tiny bit, but not much... will be using it more over the next few months.
[09:23] <alfatau> mneptok: I know Lyx, it's available for windows too, but it's not what i'm looking for: i need a more advanced and customizable ide... and i really dislike that embedded previewer
[09:23] <Qayos> Although I usually just use some random text editor and write raw TeX...
[09:23] <foofish> MenZa: true. but it is incredibly efficient.
[09:24] <foofish> alfatau: i don't know any media player that can change audio speed with fixed pitch :(
[09:24] <foofish> alfatau: let me know if you find one...
[09:24] <mneptok> alfatau: maybe Kile? TeXworks?
[09:25] <alfatau> i'm installing kile... let's look...
[09:25] <foofish> alfatau: possibly vlc with a plugin called scaletempo .. but i've not tried it myself
[09:26] <alfatau> foofish: i'm trying that plugin too
[09:26] <mneptok> alfatau: you'll probably want teTeX alongside Kile to recreate your Windows workflow
[09:27] <MenZa> mneptok: tetex is deprecated!
[09:27] <MenZa> mneptok: texlive is the Next Big Thing(tm)
[09:27] <MenZa> well, current big thing, really.
[09:27] <mneptok> right you are if you say so
[09:27] <Qayos> if i have ubuntu server do i need to do...... do-release-upgrade -m server    ?
[09:27] <Qayos> what is the difference?
[09:27] <foofish> alfatau: before you go down the kile route, check this out: http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/img/auctex-screenshot-tool-bar.png
[09:28] <foofish> alfatau: erm, this one i mean: http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/img/preview-screenshot.png
[09:28] <foofish> alfatau: with the equations rendered in the editor. it's really sweet.
[09:30] <alfatau> uhm... but will i able to import my TeXnic projects into kile? Does it supports something like a project structure, chapter and section trees, etc.?
[09:31] <MenZa> alfatau: Judging by the documentation, it does support projects. I'm not sure if you can use your .prj files from TeXnicCenter, though.
[09:31] <alfatau> MenZa: ok thank you
[09:31] <icesmurf> howdy.
[09:31] <icesmurf> :-)
[09:32] <MenZa> alfatau: http://kile.sourceforge.net/images/screenshots/snap_latextags.png
[09:32] <MenZa> alfatau: The interface should look (at least somewhat) familiar if you use TeXnicCenter
[09:33] <icesmurf> anyone here familiar with the dell-laptop patches ubuntu maintains?
[09:33] <alfatau> MenZa: thanks i just looked at screenshots.
[09:34] <travis_> \join #test
[09:34] <alfatau> i've the last question: a compilable project (pdfLatex) without errors, warning and badboxes, could get errors or other problems compiling it with texlive distro? thanks for your attention
[09:35] <MenZa> alfatau: it shouldn't.
[09:35] <MenZa> alfatau: generally, I don't care about warnings unless they actually upset the typesetting.
[09:38] <alfatau> MenZa: ok, i hope :P thanks for your attention
[09:40] <guitar-maniac> heeey!
[09:41]  * howya !
[09:43] <catch_> I am just looking at switching from openoffice to abiword et al, but when I try and export an abiword doc as a pdf, there is a huge increase in file size... I don't see any options for controlling this... any ideas or is this the wrong place to ask?
[09:45] <kannan01> how to install kubuntu 9.04 amd 64 in virtualbox --- when i try to install it says kernal requires x86_64cpu but only i686 is found..!!

[09:45] <howya> kannan01: #kubuntu
[09:45] <Qayos> i'm following this:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Feisty
[09:46] <icesmurf> kannan: i dont think virtualbox supports x86_64 does it?
[09:46] <Qayos> but the directory it tells me to download into keeps having its name changed
[09:46] <Qayos> so i cant manually get the file
[09:47] <Billiard> kannan01, are u running a 64 bit OS?
[09:48] <rot> In nautilus, I can go into properties and change the icon of a folder to a custom one. Can the same be done from the commandline? I want to use it in a script
[09:48] <kannan01> Billiard : yes
[09:49] <quellhorst> how can I install ubuntu via usb stick? I burned an ISO to the usb stick, but its not set as bootable, how do I fix that?
[09:50] <Billiard> kannan01, you may need to enable virtualization in your bios
[09:51] <kannan01> Billiard : but i'm already running xp in my virtual machine..
[09:51] <jo_> Hey, I want to set up a ubuntu server in my mom's company behind a firewall. I'll have to use NAT to open some ports for me. I wish to use it as a webserver, ssh, sip etc.. Witch ports should I forward to me so I don't disturb the rest of the company.
[09:52] <EvilAIM> lol
[09:52] <EvilAIM> That sounds highly not legal
[09:52] <Smut> morgen
[09:53] <Smut> kann man den radeonhd treiber genauso installieren wie im wiki beschrieben wenn man eine agp grafikkarte hat?
[09:53] <noodledoodle> Hello
[09:53] <pshr_> any one any idea on how to configure evolution for gmail behind proxy :(
[09:53] <Smut> hi
[09:54] <Smut> argh, this isn't the german channel...
[09:54] <quellhorst> hi, i just got fiber installed with 50mbps and a $3k server having trouble installing ubuntu since i didn't get a cdrom :)
[09:54] <noodledoodle> Can i ask a question about dvd copying
[09:54] <raudy> jaunty is great!
[09:55] <EvilAIM> guys
[09:55] <EvilAIM> just ask questions
[09:55] <EvilAIM> I'll answer
[09:55] <alfatau> hello, i'm also trying for an ubuntu replacement for tortoise svn. can you advise me an equivalent app?
[09:55] <BlouBlou> !enter | EvilAIM
[09:55] <mralexandro> if i write sudo make -j3 depend && make -j3 will that be sudo for both commands or just one of them?
[09:55] <jo_> EvilAIM: wel.. I want to set up a ubuntu server in my mom's company behind a firewall. I'll have to use NAT to open some ports for me. I wish to use it as a webserver, ssh, sip etc.. Witch ports should I forward to me so I don't disturb the rest of the company. tx...
[09:56] <quellhorst> for running ubuntu inside osx / virtualbox which version should i use? desktop/server 8.x or 9.x?
[09:56] <noodledoodle> ive ripped a film(dvd) using dvdrip what can i use to burn it?  brasero seems to crash
[09:56] <EvilAIM> jo_, figure out what ports are already taken.  Most likely the company already has ports already setup for that.
[09:56] <leo> When I try to compile, i get this error  "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables". How to get rid of this?
[09:56] <EvilAIM> quellhorst: what ever version you want.  I suggest 9.04
[09:56] <cybersplice> quellhorst, whichever you like. They should all work fine.
[09:56] <Flannel> leo: install build-essential
[09:57] <pshr_> any one any idea on how to configure evolution for gmail behind proxy :(
[09:57] <jo_> EvilAIM: ok tx, I'll try
[09:57] <EvilAIM> leo: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[09:57] <leo> Flannel: I'll try that. Thanks
[09:57] <leo> EvilAIM: Thanks
[09:57] <threequarks> hi all.  is there a tool for creating one big mp3 from a playlist of mp3s.  i've tried amarok..
[09:57] <liminal> hello
[09:58] <pshr_> any one any idea on how to configure evolution for gmail behind proxy :(
[09:58] <liminal> im having trouble bluetooth and ubu tu
[09:58] <pshr_> any one any idea on how to configure evolution for gmail behind proxy
[09:58] <threequarks> i'd like to create my own "mixtapes" for commuting to work rather than skipping around my ipod library..
[09:58] <mneptok> threequarks: you'd have to transcode, and you'd lose quality in a significant way
[09:58] <grawity> pshr_: What type of proxy? (And there is no need to repeat your question that often.)
[09:58] <liminal> ubuntu wont connect to my bluetooth device
[09:58] <rot> threequarks: try mencoder -oac copy 1.mp3 2.mp3 3.mp3 4.mp3 -o out.mp3
[09:58] <EvilAIM> ummm, threequarks http://www.ubuntuhowtos.com/howtos/merge_mp3
[09:58] <BlouBlou> !bluetooth | liminal
[09:59] <pshr_> http
[09:59] <threequarks> thanks rot.  is there any gui player that does that?
[09:59] <rot> threequarks; no idea, sorry :[
[09:59] <EvilAIM> three: I just told you... http://www.ubuntuhowtos.com/howtos/merge_mp3
[10:00] <threequarks> no probs. i'll try mencoder so... pity amarok doesnt seem to do it.
[10:00] <grawity> threequarks: In Linux, GUI appss aren't as common as command-line tools - especially when the latter ones are easy enough.
[10:00] <EvilAIM> or just search: ubuntu+merge mp3 files
[10:00] <pshr_> grawity, HTTP
[10:00] <ShishKabab> Hi. How can I get the PID from bash for a command that's running with some argument? Say I need the PID of an 'ssh myServer'.
[10:00] <pshr_> ShishKabab, pidof ssh
[10:00] <threequarks> grawity: gui apps not as common? what about rhythmbox, banshee and amarok...
[10:00] <grawity> pshr_: That won't work for ShishKabab
[10:01] <grawity> threequarks: Yeah, and can any of them do everything mencoder does?
[10:01] <dksoba88> hola
[10:01] <pshr_> hmm well how about this.. pidof ssh | grep myserver
[10:01] <pshr_> nah! bad bad bad
[10:01] <pshr_> my bad
[10:01] <ShishKabab> pshr_: What if I have another session open like 'ssh anotherOne'?
[10:01] <quellhorst> do you guys know if a ubuntu will install fine from a USB drive?
[10:01] <grawity> ShishKabab: ps -e -o pid,cmd | grep 'ssh myserver' | awk '{ printf $1 }'
[10:01] <threequarks> grawity: well amarok is extendible .. could easily trigger mencoder stuff via some amarok scripting.
[10:01] <grawity> quellhorst: Yes.
[10:02] <icesmurf> threequarks; as the oss mantra goes.. "patches welcome"
[10:02] <grawity> threequarks: But the core of Amarok is still a media player.
[10:02] <icesmurf> ;)
[10:02] <Tomy> hi, anyone has maybe the xorg.conf for the joybook r22e?
[10:03] <iuri> hi there, i am having troubles to use syscalls on my environment. How do i declare a syscall in a C program i wrote to call a syscall i created. I already compiled and installed the kernel image with the new syscall
[10:03] <ShishKabab> grawity: Almost, it also echos the PID of grep....
[10:03] <iuri> i believe the problem is in this line _syscall(long,iuri,int,i)
[10:03] <grawity> ShishKabab: Well, insert a grep -v grep somewhere
[10:03] <iuri> does anyone know how to declare syscalls
[10:03] <void_pointer> iuri, try #c
[10:03] <grawity> pshr_: If the proxy supports HTTP CONNECT, you can just set it somewhere in Evolution
[10:03] <system404> hey guys i plugged in a usb flash drive into my pc and ubuntu saying unable to mount volume why is this
[10:04] <esun``> QUIT
[10:04] <ShishKabab> grawity: Thanks! Works like a charm.
[10:04] <icesmurf> or just use pgrep
[10:05] <grawity> icesmurf: Does pgrep grep for process arguments?
[10:05] <noodledoodle> is it not possible to burn rental films using Brasero. it keeps crashing when i add the second vob.file.   Are they encrypted somehow
[10:05] <MarkGil> Hi can anyone recommend a php based imap client that plays well with mobile browsers?  Specifically the one in the Sony PSP?  I tried a few of the more popular and they don't play too well/
[10:05] <icesmurf> with -f use
[10:05] <icesmurf> when you use -f yeah
[10:06] <icesmurf> pgrep -f  'whatever;
[10:06] <grawity> MarkGil: SquirrelMail seemed to work fine for me.
[10:06] <system404> hey guys i plugged in a usb flash drive into my pc and ubuntu saying unable to mount volume why is this
[10:06] <icesmurf> mm network manager is so broken in karmic :(
[10:06] <icesmurf> i think they've regressed the dell-laptop kernel module or something :\
[10:07] <quellhorst> how do i make a usb stick bootable?
[10:07] <icesmurf> system: possibly an invalid partition table, or it's not formatted? does it show up ok in windows?
[10:08] <icesmurf> mores the point, are you use it's a "usb storage" device, and not an MFT device.
[10:08] <bullgard4> What is the function of the loadable kernel driver 'videodev'? The information output of 'modinfo': "v4l1-compat" does mean what?
[10:08] <system404> it shows up in windows if i recall yes but ive totally wiped out windows now though
[10:08] <icesmurf> quell: google is your friend, "google, usb, syslinux"
[10:08] <threequarks> heh heh...  i solved my mixtape problem.
[10:08] <noodledoodle> lucky you
[10:08] <system404> how can i format it in a format that windows will see as i want to put files on it that will be used in windows
[10:08] <threequarks> all hail the wonders of "cat"...
[10:09] <threequarks> cat 1.mp3 2.mp3 > newbig.mp3
[10:09] <leo> EvilAIM: Tu do apt-get install build-essential, I need to install proxychains. To install proxychains, I need build-essential. I am confused.
[10:09] <threequarks> simple as that.  god i love linux.
[10:09] <icesmurf> system: first, you need to make sure that you can see the device.
[10:09] <leo> Flannel: Tu do apt-get install build-essential, I need to install proxychains. To install proxychains, I need build-essential. I am confused.
[10:09] <system404> i can see it in places its just unmountable
[10:09] <icesmurf> what places do you see it?
[10:10] <system404> if i go to places its there if i click on computer its in there
[10:10] <system404> but is unmountable
[10:10] <grawity> system404: Go to the Terminal, try the 'mount' command
[10:10] <icesmurf> k, do you have gparted installed?
[10:10] <system404> i think i have gparted
[10:11] <quellhorst> icesmurf: googling in progress :)
[10:11] <icesmurf> system: sudo gparted and see if it see's the sd[x] device of the usb storage you've connected
[10:12] <Flannel> leo: You shouldn't need proxy-chains for build-essential, unless you mean that you can't connect to the internet?  Do you still have your Ubuntu CD?
[10:12] <leo> Flannel: I have to use proxychains for resolving the names
[10:12] <Flannel> leo: resolving what names?
[10:12] <leo> Flannel: like archive.ubuntu.com
[10:12] <system404> icesmurf: no gparted dont see it just shows my hdd partitions
[10:13] <leo> Flannel: to IP
[10:13] <icesmurf> system: you comfortable with the command line?
[10:13] <leo> Flannel: I am behind a proxy server
[10:13] <Flannel> leo: Well, you could always look it up and change your sources.list temporarily.  But build-essential is included on the CD, so you can install it from there.
[10:13] <icesmurf> have a look see in /var/log/messages and /var/log/dmesg
[10:13] <icesmurf> see if it's actually detecting the thing.
[10:14] <icesmurf> know what model/make it is?
[10:14] <system404> icesmurf: wouldnt say comfortable but ill trust ur input lol
[10:14] <leo> Flannel: I'' try that
[10:14] <icesmurf> actually
[10:14] <icesmurf> do a lsusb
[10:14] <icesmurf> and paste the output to pastebin.com
[10:14] <icesmurf> and gimmie the link you get from pastebin
[10:15] <aaron11> Helo Im having some problems with my flash. When I go to Linux.com, the ads are having something flickering next to each flash object

[10:15] <dux70> #ubuntu-it
[10:16] <arturo> f
[10:16] <icesmurf> can you do the same (as root this time) with "sudo fdisk -l"
[10:17] <icesmurf> i'm really -really- starting to hate network-manager.
[10:17] <EvilAIM> why?
[10:17] <system404> icesmurf: http://pastebin.com/m61ba2d0c
[10:17] <icesmurf> because every major release that comes along, it breaks out the ass.
[10:17] <icesmurf> :D
[10:18] <icesmurf> it's its interface with wireless seems a bit borked for karmic.
[10:18] <icesmurf> iv'e had to revert to using wicd.
[10:18] <ruben_> please help
[10:18] <rot> In nautilus, I can go into properties and change the icon of a folder to a custom one. Can the same be done from the commandline or do I need to do it through DBus? I want to use it in a script
[10:19] <icesmurf> system: urh.. does the device work ok in windows?
[10:19] <grawity> rot: See ~/.nautilus/metadata/
[10:19] <Guest45625> spanish help please
[10:19] <icesmurf> looks like it's a secured device, you probably need specific drivers for it :\
[10:19] <Flannel> Guest45625: /join #ubuntu-es
[10:19] <aaron11> Helo Im having some problems with my flash. When I go to Linux.com, the ads are having something flickering next to each flash object
[10:20] <pw-toxic> hi, i have a critical error with ubuntu.. all my windows crash after some minutes i have bootet... even the update manager crashes
[10:20] <pw-toxic> all the icons on my desktop disappear
[10:20] <pw-toxic> when i reboot, he has to check the HDD
[10:20] <system404> it did last time it was plugged into windows was a while ago i dont have windows on this machine no more
[10:20] <icesmurf> system: i'd reformat it in a windows machine.
[10:21] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: wich error sends ubuntu?
[10:21] <system404> icesmurf i shouldnt need drivers its just a usb stick
[10:21] <icesmurf> either that, or pony up the $15 for a 1G pendrive :-)
[10:21] <icesmurf> system: looks like it's a hosed usb stick.
[10:21] <system404> thats wat this is icesmurf
[10:21] <icesmurf> oh is that a 1gig drive?
[10:21] <system404> could i try format it in windows
[10:21] <system404> yeah 1 gig
[10:21] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, no error.. it just crashes and i cant open any more windows and my existing windows crash too
[10:21] <icesmurf> *rechecks your pastebin*
[10:22] <system404> theres a 2 gig sd card in my machine that works fine
[10:22] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, the terminal i previouly opened still works  and the xchat window too, but all icons disappeared and i cant open my home folder
[10:22] <icesmurf> oh that's what the sdf drives are heh
[10:22] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: when you open update manager or when you check updates?
[10:22] <icesmurf> as root:
[10:22] <icesmurf> mount /dev/sdf1 /mnt
[10:22] <icesmurf> cd /mnt
[10:22] <icesmurf> ls
[10:22] <FloodBot3> icesmurf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:22] <icesmurf> and see if it works
[10:22] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, no this also happens without the update manager
[10:22] <leo> Flannel: That helped. Thanks a lot
[10:23] <BI16> hey
[10:23] <Guest45625> when i restart my computer only runs in security mode and say me that i have a no kernel intel modesetting
[10:23] <Guest45625> what can i do
[10:23] <Guest45625> ¿?
[10:23] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: well, try to use in a terminal: sudo apt-get update
[10:23] <aaron11> Guest45625: why not boot from live cd then install a kernel
[10:23] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, my system is up to date
[10:24] <aaron11> Guest45625: sorry reinstall
[10:24] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: this will check updates in a terminal, and we will see if it sends error or not
[10:24] <Bilge> Can SSH be decoupled from SFTP?
[10:24] <aaron11> Helo Im having some problems with my flash. When I go to Linux.com, the ads are having something flickering next to each flash object
[10:24] <grawity> Bilge: Huh?
[10:24] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, how do i see that there are updates?
[10:24] <Guest45625> i dont have the live cd in this moment
[10:24] <shoss> where can i get help with karmic?
[10:24] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, Reading package lists... Done
[10:24] <pw-toxic> last line
[10:24] <Bilge> AFAIK they're both installed together in the OpenSSH package
[10:24] <Flannel> shoss: #ubuntu+1
[10:24] <icesmurf> bilge: sftp is just a command invoked over an ssh channel.
[10:24] <BI16> guys how can i update my firefox from 3.0.14 to 3.5 (latest) ? ..my "check for update" is greyed out ? ...anyone?
[10:24] <aaron11> Guest45625: then you're screwed
[10:25] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, now my update manager starks and there is only one update... libicu38
[10:25] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: ok, it's update-manager's error
[10:25] <^lazzarella^> ciao
[10:25] <aaron11> Guest45625: go to windows then install iso then burn again and reinstall
[10:25] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, lets see what happens if i try to update once more.. my windows are still working
[10:25] <franck> my machine is sluggish, it takes time for an event to show in syslog
[10:25] <franck> it is real strange
[10:25] <grawity> Bilge: /etc/ssh/sshd_config, look for 'Subsystem'
[10:25] <rot> grawity, that folder is really messy. No command for setting icon?
[10:25] <icesmurf> bilge: you can restrict sftp .. what graw just said.
[10:25] <icesmurf> :D
[10:25] <icesmurf> got half way through typing it.
[10:26] <Bilge> But they are part of the same package, right?
[10:26] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, the update worked.. so there is nothing to update.. i cant tell you when or why my windows crash, but it occurs very often and i cant remember having ubuntu running longer than 30 minuts without my windows crashing
[10:26] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: did you update or install any programm this days? when did it starts failing?
[10:26] <icesmurf> bilge: yes.
[10:26] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, well i have installed a lot of programs from the ubuntu utility page
[10:26] <aaron11> Guest45625: change your nickname
[10:26] <icesmurf> sort of rolling your own package, or disabling sftp post install. you cannot by default only install the ssh servfer.
[10:26] <icesmurf> server.
[10:26] <liminal> ive connected to my bluetooth device
[10:26] <icesmurf> s/sort/short/
[10:26] <liminal> how do i see where in /dev/ its is connected
[10:26] <Bilge> I don't really want to restrict it, it's a very handy feature, I was just trying to understand where it comes from clearly
[10:27] <grawity> Bilge: Why would you want to remove sftp anyway?
[10:27] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, http://www.getdeb.net/browse.php
[10:27] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: well, did you installed non-supported or beta updates?
[10:27] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, no only things on this page
[10:28] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: surelly an update crashes when you were updating from getdeb...
[10:28] <icesmurf> bilge: ahh it's just an ssh extension that uses an ssh channel, it's just a formalised protocol that uses ssh as a transport.
[10:28] <mnaines> Does Linux need defragmentation software?
[10:29] <icesmurf> man sftp-server
[10:29] <liminal> what is the path bluetooth devices are connected via in ubuntu ?
[10:29] <Nozy> nop
[10:29] <solofight> help | i have bsnl evdo card, zte modem, not getting detected in my xubuntu ver 9
[10:29] <filosofico> Hi! Best replacement for "Visio" in ubuntu? "Dia"?
[10:29] <solofight> i really need a way to make this work soon
[10:29] <Nozy> mnaines: nop
[10:29] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: go to synaptic
[10:29] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: and select repair packets
[10:29] <solofight> SOS
[10:30] <Nozy> mnaines: linux file system don't break file up
[10:30] <Chousuke> Nozy: that's quite filesystem-dependent :P
[10:30] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, hm i cant see a "repar packets" button.. there is only  reload, mark all upgrades .. and a search bar
[10:30] <pw-toxic> and some disabled icons
[10:30] <Nozy> ext 2 and ext 3
[10:30] <Nozy> fat ntfs yes
[10:30] <Nozy> xfs no
[10:31] <mnaines> foofish: I found out what the problem was with the drives...When I was running Vista, Vista showed a bunch of fragmented files but would not touch them...
[10:31] <Nozy> ext4 sure is not
[10:31] <romba> err
[10:31] <grawity> Chousuke: And implementation-dependent too.
[10:31] <Chousuke> mnaines: Defragmentation always happens, no matter what the filesystem, but ext3 and ext4 are smart enough to minimise the effect.
[10:31]  * mnaines runs ext3 and ext4
[10:31] <icesmurf> bilge: incidentally, if you want to find out what package a particular file belongs to "dpkg-query -S <file>" will tell you :-)
[10:31] <romba> this is soooo
[10:31] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: have you got another SO in your computer?
[10:31] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, Windows87
[10:31] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, on an intel 80GB SSD
[10:31] <romba> windows 3.1
[10:32] <romba> here
[10:32] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: and pc crashes with it?
[10:32] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, windows7 works very well. i have worked the last 4 days with it because i cant work with ubuntu anymore
[10:32] <abongile1> Damn, I just finished applying updates to ubuntu netboom remix install, I was using classic desktop, now my task bar and status bar are gone, so now I can interact with my system. How do I get out of this problem?
[10:32] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, now i figured it out.. the problem only occurs when i try to open my home folder
[10:32] <mnaines> Chousuke: What have you heard about Seagate's hard drives?
[10:32] <grawity> abongile1: Can you open a terminal and try running "gnome-panel" in it?
[10:33] <Chousuke> mnaines: usually it helps to not fill up your hard drive entirely.
[10:33] <Chousuke> mnaines: nothing much
[10:33] <mralexandro> what would you use to burn an image in ubuntu
[10:33] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: maybe you should create another user, give it admin power, remove old user and try with it
[10:33] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, i use gnome-do  if i want to open my home folder by gnome-do OR by places->home folder (gnome top panel) my icons disappear andi cant open any more windows with directorys
[10:33] <grawity> mralexandro: Brasero (if you like GUI), or cdrecord (command-line).
[10:33] <mnaines> Chousuke: I was running Windows Vista doing a lot of file transfers from my photography and stuff
[10:33] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, uhh thats hard.. i have a lot of configuration here!
[10:33] <pshr_> any mail / gmail notifier that works behind the http squid proxy having authentication methods ?
[10:33] <mralexandro> grawity, thanks. is there a software like daemon tools for making a false cd rom drive as well?
[10:34] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, no i tried to open my home folder again, and it actually worked, but all icons on the desktop are still missing
[10:34] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: copy all hidden folders/archives
[10:34] <icesmurf> mralex; er.. the loopback device ?
[10:34] <pshr_> grawity, any mail / gmail notifier that works behind the http squid proxy having authentication methods ?
[10:34] <abongile1> grawity: No I can't, don't know short-cuts, using a wireless USB keyboard so ctrl+alt+f1-6 doesn't get a response.
[10:34] <grawity> mralexandro: Nope. The Linux kernel already supports it.
[10:34] <grawity> abongile1: Alt-F2?
[10:34] <mralexandro> grawity, how excaclty?
[10:35] <icesmurf> mralex; say you have an .iso image you want to mount
[10:35] <abongile1> grawity: non-work
[10:35] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, do you know which program is used to show files and folders in ubuntu?
[10:35] <grawity> mralexandro: Open a terminal, use 'sudo mount your-disk-image.iso /mnt -o loop'
[10:35] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: it's very curious, I never heard that
[10:35] <icesmurf> mralex: mount -o loop youriso.iso /path/to/where/you/want/it
[10:35] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: nautilus
[10:35] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, yes thats my problem... i cant find anythin in google
[10:35] <liminal> how do i find devices connected to the kernak?
[10:35] <mnaines> Chousuke: Apparently the drives have been saying that out of the total capacity, there is 2.6GB used but Linux cannot see what's in that 2.6GB of space
[10:35] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, do you know how i could get some debug information of nautilus?
[10:35] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, it looks like nautilus is the only problem
[10:35] <mralexandro> grawity, icesmurf, thanks!
[10:36] <icesmurf> mnaines: it's used by inodes, and other filesystem bits and pieces.
[10:36] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: help -> repport problem
[10:36] <pshr_> any mail / gmail notifier that works behind the http squid proxy having authentication methods ?
[10:36] <mnaines> icesmurf: Yeah, but another drive says 7.4GB are in use
[10:36] <icesmurf> you can tune it, essentially it's reserves some storage space for root/and backup inodes.
[10:36] <icesmurf> it's not for the faint of heart tho :-)
[10:36] <abongile1> grawity: I can right click on the desktop though and interact with the windows, accept I can move them since, the titles bard on a hidden part of the screen, where I assume my task bar to be.
[10:37] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, ok ;( but sadly i cant write that much, because the behaviour is very magically and i cant reproduce it clearly.. it just occurs from time to time, but extremly breaking my workflow ;(
[10:37] <KurtKraut> pshr_, not exactly. You have to set HTTPS traffic to be forwarded withou passing thru squid
[10:37] <icesmurf> see "man tune2fs"
[10:37] <Chousuke> mnaines: are the drives of the same size? :/
[10:37] <Chousuke> mnaines: the FS overhead depends on the size of the filesystem.
[10:37] <icesmurf> chous: it also depends on how the FS  has been initalised, different filesystems use different methods, most are tunable.
[10:38] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: then see datials, it will apperas all debug info
[10:38] <mnaines> icesmurf: But why would it store that stuff on the external backup drives...One drive is 150GB and is only reading 132GB available on an ext4 fs and the other is a 500GB drive reading 458GB available on ext4
[10:38] <icesmurf> if it's ext2/3/4 you should be able to tune it with tune2fs
[10:38] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, what is datials?
[10:38] <grawity> pw-toxic: I think he meant 'details'
[10:38] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: in repport an error
[10:38] <Chousuke> mnaines: that's normal
[10:39] <icesmurf> mn: how is it supposed to know it's an external "backup" device? it's calculated automatically based on how the filesystem is going to be layed out on the physical media.
[10:39] <icesmurf> you -can- reduce how much overhead it uses, by using tune2fs.
[10:39] <pawan> hi
[10:39] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, i cant find a help ;(
[10:39] <mnaines> Chousuke: So that extra space is the partition table for those drives?
[10:39] <pawan> how to install audacious
[10:39] <pawan> !audacious
[10:39] <icesmurf> mnaies; no its the filesystem sitting on top of the partitions.
[10:40] <MrZehl> Hi there, I trashed my network stettings. :(
[10:40] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: at the right of nautilus, at the top of window
[10:40] <mnaines> icesmurf: What do you mean, exactly?
[10:40] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, do you mean in the top gnome panel under system?
[10:40] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, ah ok.. misunderstood :D
[10:40] <MrZehl> I was busy with connecting my BeBook with OepenInkpot  by ssh
[10:40] <Chousuke> mnaines: making a filesystem on a drive is not free. the filesystem takes space too :)
[10:41] <meatbun> can ubuntu implement IPsec VPN using ESP and 3DES AND run in tunnel mode (to protect IP header)?
[10:41] <mnaines> Chousuke: But what exactly does it use that space for?
[10:41] <icesmurf> mn: so, when you create a "partition" what your doing is your telling the operating system in what places on the physical media it can write the filesystem to.
[10:41] <Chousuke> mnaines: but in addition to that, usually the FS reserves some "emergency space" in case the filesystem ever fills up
[10:41] <icesmurf> cho: and for redundancy.
[10:41] <Chousuke> mnaines: that's what you can tune.
[10:41] <MrZehl> So I made a networkconnection in System/Preferences/Network Connections
[10:42] <icesmurf> and how many backup blocks, what sizes, how many inodes to actually have on the filesystem.
[10:42] <icesmurf> for example, if your going to only have a few very large files, you need less inodes.
[10:42] <MrZehl> But then I couldn't connect to internet anymore. Deleting the connection I made didn't solve it.
[10:42] <Chousuke> tune2fs -m 0.5 /dev/yourext3or4partition
[10:42] <icesmurf> if your going to have thousands and thousands of little files, you'll need more inodes, which will use up more "filesystem" space that you can't actually use.
[10:42] <Chousuke> ... I wonder if it supports floats :P
[10:42] <MrZehl> Anybody knows  how to do that?
[10:43] <icesmurf> ch: i've been maintaining for the last five years or so that the default mke2fs "emergency" space is to big.
[10:43] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: well, now if you wanna, you can report it to launchpad
[10:43] <Chousuke> mnaines: and note that some of the space loss could also be due to manufacturers using SI prefixes and Linux using binary prefixes :/
[10:44] <Fauchi95> Hello! If I set a cronjob withe the user root on @reboot, it is done before the logincreen appears?
[10:44] <MrZehl> Nothing changed in /etc/network/
[10:44] <Fauchi95> *with
[10:44] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, i'll try to get some more information.. strangly at the moment it works .. my icons reappeared and nautilus doesnt crash anymore
[10:44] <Chousuke> ie. it's not lost space. it just doesn't exist in the first place :)
[10:44] <BlouBlou> pw-toxic: ok :)
[10:44] <pw-toxic> BlouBlou, ah now it does ;) ok ;))
[10:44] <abongile1> grawity: What I can do though is reboot and go into recovery mode, I drop into a terminal then. Could that help?
[10:45] <mnaines> Chousuke: So this level of overhead is normal?
[10:45] <MrZehl> I meant /etc/network/interfaces
[10:45] <icesmurf> by default yes.
[10:45] <Chousuke> mnaines: for example, 500GB is 465 GiB (what Linux calls GB)
[10:45] <WhiteCrow1> how can i send file in terminal to other pc in my network?
[10:46] <mnaines> Chousuke: It says that, but then it also says out of that 465GB, 7.4GB are used
[10:46] <icesmurf> chous: gluck with explaining that one :D
[10:46] <pw-toxic> test
[10:46] <mnaines> Chousuke: Then Linux can only see the 458GB of free space
[10:46] <Chousuke> mnaines: yeah, that's probably the "reserve" :/
[10:47] <icesmurf> almost certainly the reserve.
[10:47] <Bilge> icesmurf: so does dpkg -S, which is shorter ;p
[10:47] <Chousuke> though if it were 5%, it'd be more.
[10:47] <Chousuke> so it could be just the filesystem *necessary* data structures
[10:47] <mnaines> So 7.4 is what percent of 465?
[10:48] <icesmurf> chos: probably a combination, i think that 'reserve' is calculated dynamically on filesystem creation now isnt it?
[10:48] <Chousuke> icesmurf: it used to be a set percentage
[10:48] <Chousuke> but that's probably been changed.
[10:49] <icesmurf> hmm i could be thinking solaris.
[10:49] <DigitalKiwi> tune2fs
[10:49] <Chousuke> it seems you have 1.5% overhead
[10:49] <Chousuke> that could very well be just the filesystem, and not the space reserve :/
[10:50] <icesmurf> the larger your filesystem, the more 'overhead' it has, so it'll scale up as you go higher in the GB's ..
[10:50] <icesmurf> i'd suggest you have a good read of the tune2fs manpage, and fiddle with it.
[10:51] <braadspeet> hallo I wish to connect to the dutch version, please advise
[10:51] <Whitt> Am I able to get help here with Ubuntu 9.10 audio?
[10:52] <Chousuke> mnaines: you can try doing sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/the500GBpartition and see if that frees up space.
[10:52] <Chousuke> mnaines: if it doesn't then there's nothing you can do about it :P
[10:52] <KurtKraut> Whitt, I suggest you to try http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=334
[10:52] <Whitt> thanks
[10:52] <icesmurf> chous: yeah you can, you can reduce the inode count to something more reasonable.
[10:52] <mnaines> Chousuke: I tried but it gives me an error saying "superblock not found"
[10:52] <Chousuke> mnaines: you didn't pick the right device file
[10:52] <liminal> i cant pair to my bluetooth device, i need to manual set the pin length to longer than 4 digits
[10:52] <BlouBlou> Whitt: /join #ubuntu+1 for next ubuntu releases
[10:52] <Chousuke> mnaines: if you run "mount" it'll show you what you need.
[10:53] <liminal> does anyone know where the pin for blkuetooth is configured
[10:54] <Smut> rks
[10:54] <DigitalKiwi> <3 reiserfs
[10:55] <icesmurf> always thought reiser has similar issues for lots of files. has a fairly high overhead as well.

[10:58] <wizzo50> Any help on this? How do you setup a HP Photosmart C4640 to scan on Ubuntu?
[10:58] <liminal> how do i use grep to search a syslog?
[10:58] <maschine> liminal: do you have a file called etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf there it should be
[10:59] <liminal> no i dont have that file
[10:59] <grawity> liminal: sudo grep -i "something" /var/log/syslog
[10:59] <wizzo50> Any help on this? How do you setup a HP Photosmart C4640 to scan on Ubuntu?
[10:59] <KurtKraut> alfatau, have you tried gimmie or lyx?
[11:00] <liminal> audio.conf  input.conf	main.conf  network.conf  pin  rfcomm.conf
[11:00] <liminal> is all i have
[11:00] <mnaines> Chousuke: It won't let me do the mount option
[11:00] <Chousuke> mnaines: huh?
[11:00] <mnaines> Chousuke: I have no idea how to use tune2fs
[11:01] <Chousuke> mnaines: just running "mount" will list your mounted filesystems and show you the /dev/foo file that matches them
[11:01] <wizzo50> Any help on this? How do you setup a HP Photosmart C4640 to scan on Ubuntu?
[11:01] <mnaines> Chousuke: Then what?
[11:01] <Chousuke> mnaines: so look at the mount output and then use the /dev/foo you need as parameter to tune2fs like I showed
[11:01] <acctoujours> hello!, i have a problem, i need to replace the number five with a variable in     ed $LOG_FILE <<< $'1,5d\nw'
[11:02] <alfatau> KurtKraut: the problem isn't the ide, the problem is the outdated texlive distro. it's the 2007 version and includes a 2005 version of memoir class. I need a really updated texlive (or other distro for linux) version.
[11:02] <acctoujours> something like that    ed $LOG_FILE <<< $'1,$VARd\nw'
[11:02] <acctoujours> how can i do it? :S
[11:03] <KurtKraut> alfatau, to have a truly up to date software, you'll have to download the source code and compile it.
[11:03] <wizzo50> Any help on this? How do you setup a HP Photosmart C4640 to scan on Ubuntu?
[11:03] <acctoujours> i believe that ed command doesn't allow use " instead of '
[11:03] <GiiiZmo> hi all/ salut all
[11:04] <mnaines> Chousuke: http://pastebin.com/m24e935d3 is the output from mount...I have no idea which one to use
[11:04] <KurtKraut> wizzo50, I own another model of HP Photosmart series and I had just to plug it to my computer (while the printer is on) and Ubuntu just recognized that.
[11:04] <GiiiZmo> anywon now why flash applications cant work correctly on my unbutu 9.04
[11:04] <nic1> how can i install opera browser in ubuntu?
[11:04] <grawity> nic1: http://deb.opera.com/
[11:04] <wizzo50> KurtKraut: The printer part works but not my scanner
[11:05] <Chousuke> mnaines: is it the "Secondary" disk that is 500GB?
[11:05] <KurtKraut> wizzo50, what software you're using to scan?
[11:05] <Chousuke> mnaines: anyway, one of the /dev/sd* at the end
[11:05] <mnaines> Chousuke: I figured it out...I wasn't putting the number at the end
[11:05] <Chousuke> mnaines: the ext4 ones
[11:05] <nic1> opera and opera-beta are there, which one do i need to download?
[11:05] <mnaines> Chousuke: I set the reserve blocks for 25
[11:05] <wizzo50> KurtKraut: The software that came with it
[11:06] <mnaines> Chousuke: By the way, the Backup is the 500GB one
[11:06] <Chousuke> mnaines: hm? you mean -m 25?
[11:06] <Chousuke> because -m takes a percentage...
[11:06] <^mNotIntelligent> hi all !
[11:06] <mnaines> Chousuke: I mean -r 25
[11:06] <Chousuke> ah
[11:06] <KurtKraut> wizzo50, it won't work because this software is for Windows only, not to Linux.
[11:06] <Chousuke> 25 blocks is probably not enough :P
[11:06] <Chousuke> it's about 100kB :D
[11:06] <KurtKraut> wizzo50, I use Gimp to scan.
[11:07] <pratik_narain> how to change kdm to gdm in 9.04
[11:07] <mnaines> Chousuke: I doubt I'll ever need the reserves anyway...The drives are insanely huge compared to the total amount of space I need
[11:07] <Chousuke> mnaines: might be.
[11:08] <mnaines> Chousuke: Ubuntu is using only 8GB currently and I have another 3GB of files on my 16GB USB flash drive
[11:08] <acctoujours> another question, does anybody know a good irc channel about Java Programming?
[11:08] <Chousuke> acctoujours: I would try ##java
[11:09] <KurtKraut> acctoujours, try searching thru searchirc.com
[11:09] <Chousuke> but that's just a guess.
[11:09] <mnaines> Chousuke: A single 150GB drive is easily way more than enough for my needs
[11:10] <Chousuke> mnaines: does it show the space as free now though?
[11:10] <mnaines> Chousuke: Nope
[11:10] <Chousuke> mnaines: hm :/
[11:10] <Chousuke> mnaines: I guess it's the filesystem overhead then
[11:10] <Chousuke> mnaines: for a 500GB drive I guess it's not too bad.
[11:11] <q0_0p> anyone know how to i block outbound IP's?
[11:11] <pratik_narain> how to change kdm to gdm in 9.04

[11:15] <SpArKy> how are people able to make it into an irc chat, and they cant do a simple google search
[11:15] <wizzo50> KurtKraut: Yes, I have clicked on that, then where? How you use it?
[11:16] <nysosym> no idea for my problem_
[11:17] <KurtKraut> wizzo50, so more windows have appeared and one of them with a big logo of Xsane, right?

[11:17] <Guest75341> Hello
[11:18] <Gingle> hello denmark
[11:18] <joaopinto> Gingle, there is no deb, if you need it build from source, or try to find a ppa

[11:18] <KurtKraut> wizzo50, so try figuring out by clicking in buttons. I'm using Ubuntu in portuguese here. I don't know the labels of the buttons you're seeing there. But it should be quit intuitive, something like 'Capture' or 'Digitalize'.

How can fix this problem. Have googled looked at /etc/X11/xorg.conf no wacom entries, which were cited a being the possible cause, please help.
[11:19] <joaopinto> KurtKraut, yes :P
[11:19] <KurtKraut> joaopinto, hello there :D
[11:19] <joaopinto> hi :)
[11:19] <q0_0p> anyone here can help me block outgoing IP's?
[11:19] <joaopinto> !iptables
[11:19] <mnaines> Chousuke: It looks like there's a 1.6% overhead for ext4
[11:20] <q0_0p> firestarter wont let me block outgoing IP's
[11:20] <grawity> q0_0p: What do you mean by "outgoing IPs" anyway?
[11:20] <q0_0p> sudo iptables -I OUTPUT -d <IP_ADDRESS> -j DROP
[11:20] <q0_0p> clients that are connected the DHCP server
[11:20] <q0_0p> grawity, clients that are connected the DHCP server
[11:21] <mnaines> q0_0p: In Firestarter, right-click in the area that says "Block Connections to Host"
[11:21] <Ubuntu-Noob> can anyone help me figure out how to load nvidia drivers 185, rather than the ones from the package manager ???
[11:22] <q0_0p> mnaines, i dont see it >_<
[11:22] <mnaines> q0_0p: Under the Policies tab
[11:22] <q0_0p> mnaines, im using white list traffic
[11:22] <Dr_Willis> Ubuntu-Noob:  you could get the ones from the nvidia homepage.. or  theres some script that might help automate it.. but i forget its name.
[11:23] <q0_0p> mnaines, i can only do that if im using blacklist traffic?
[11:23] <q0_0p> mnaines, or is it that both are in effect? whitelist and blacklist traffic?
[11:23] <Ubuntu-Noob> I have goten the ones from nvidia page, but im going insane with issues trying to load them
[11:23] <mnaines> q0_0p: If you set it for "Allow all traffic by default" you will see it, but if you set it for "block all traffic by default" you won't
[11:23] <q0_0p> mnaines, blacklist trafffic blocks everything by default
