[00:00] <crackpot> every time i load twhirl (a twitter client) it always asks me to enter my PW for the keyring
[00:00] <reefer> so what shall i do
[00:00] <mkanyicy> reefer, use sudo
[00:00] <jcc1> reefer: sudo
[00:00] <dkulchenko> reefer: if you want to set one, do 'sudo passwd root'
[00:00] <blakkheim> reefer: sudo passwd
[00:00] <benji123> dkulchenko, this is a "tail -fn 0 *" on all files in /var/log/gdm/ while the error occurs : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2755949a , do you see the line "xsplash: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0" ?
[00:00] <reefer> ty
[00:00] <Wavesonics> damn damn damn, burned the Ubuntu 9.10 desktop cd instead of the server, so it cant mount my RAID10 :(
[00:00] <FactTech> reefer - It's better not to use the root account.
[00:00] <cba> I have a user in my server how can make this user connect only from a single Ip address?
[00:00] <reefer> yes i know
[00:00] <jolaren> Hello. I want to know what is recommended for a rather weak computer (ion asrock 330). 32bit or 64 bit operativesystem? I only have 2 gig ram and I won
[00:00] <mkanyicy> reefer, I support what FactTech is suggesting
[00:00] <jolaren> t upgrade
[00:01] <cdsboy> Hey guys, i was wondering if i could get some help with my samba issue. I just freshly installed 9.10 on my file server and now streaming video via samba is having issues to both my windows 7 pc and my WD TV live. Are there anythings i can do to see what is happening? It isn't putting anything in the log files in /var/logs/samba
[00:01] <dkulchenko> benji123: yes, but that is irrelevant. that is a standard error when the X server is shutting down. your GNOME works now, right?
[00:01] <FactTech> reefer - The account you set up during installation will have admin rights -- you can do everything you need to do from that account using 'sudo'.
[00:01] <zoobox> quizme: yeah I just saw that... that's bad. it should've been there :-) but ok try let ALT-N start this command instead:   gnome-terminal --geometry=120x36
[00:01] <jolaren> Hello. I want to know what is recommended for a rather weak computer (ion asrock 330). 32bit or 64 bit operativesystem? I only have 2 gig ram and I won't upgrade. Do I really benefit ?
[00:01] <reefer> i agree guys
[00:01] <mhall119> reefer, using sudo instead of enabling a root password has all the benefits and none of the security vulnerability
[00:01] <kwtm> Hi.  When I use "apt-cache search", I have to do some sort of index command before hand, right?  What was that command?  "apt-cache update" or something?
[00:01] <zoobox> quizme: if you want 120 chars by 36 lines
[00:01] <FactTech> reefer - Any other account can be enabled to do the same by making it an admin account.
[00:01] <blakkheim> jolaren: 32bit
[00:01] <jolaren> blakkheim; Why? REally?
[00:01] <reefer> ty guys
[00:02] <jcc1> reefer: also, if you want a root shell, just sudo -i
[00:02] <jcc1> reefer: or sudo su -
[00:02] <reefer> yall have been great help
[00:02] <blakkheim> jolaren: if you only have 2gb of ram why would you want 64bit
[00:02] <stalker> anyone here use kazehakase?
[00:02] <reefer> ill be back later
[00:02] <jolaren> blakkheim, that was my thoughts to. Thanks for elaborating
[00:02] <tecna2> jolaren: you don't need anything special for 2gb ram.  I'm using the normal karmic desktop with only 768mb
[00:03] <benji123> dkulchenko, yes it works
[00:03] <mkanyicy> kwtm, sudo apt-get update
[00:03] <dkulchenko> benji123: okay. then you're fine. that was just a bad setting/corrupted profiel
[00:03] <tobiasz> mhall119 I don't quite get it
[00:03] <FactTech> Question: I've just set up a Logitech USB webcam on a laptop running Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic), but the video only works when I'm logged in as an administrator, not as a normal user. Looked online for ideas, but the only one I saw was making sure the non-admin user was a member of group 'video', which it is. Any suggestions?
[00:03] <dkulchenko> benji123: i have to go.
[00:03] <benji123> dkulchenko, thanks you very much
[00:03] <kwtm> mkanyicy: Really?  I had the impression that apt-cache and apt-get used different indices, for some reason.  Has that changed?  If I use apt-get to update, then apt-cache will also update?
[00:03] <dkulchenko> benji123: no problem
[00:04] <Dravenm4> hey guys been having problems with no sound for 2 days 'cat /proc/asound/pcm' does nothing and "alsamixer -c0" state no elements found
[00:04] <mhall119> tobiasz, every process has a concept of "current working directory"
[00:04] <mhall119> just like when you're in the shell, you are always in a directory
[00:04] <mhall119> so are your processes
[00:04] <FactTech> Dravenm4 - What kind of sound card are you using?
[00:04] <cba> I have a user in my server how can make this user connect only from a single Ip address?
[00:04] <mhall119> usually the process's working directory is the directory it was launched from
[00:04] <mkanyicy> kwtm, oh? not sure, you may be right, I'ven't use apt-cache that much
[00:04] <Dravenm4> ati IPX SB4x0 Highdef
[00:05] <mhall119> not necessarly the directory the executable is in
[00:05] <tobiasz> mhall119 I get it but, I dunno how to make a shortcut to that game which would change the working directory
[00:05] <SetiAmon> how do i run dual outputs to monitors
[00:05] <kwtm> Maybe FactTech or jcc1 can help us because they seem fairly familiar with Ubuntu.
[00:05] <mhall119> tobiasz, you can't do that in a shortcut (to my knowledge)
[00:05] <kpomeroy> Has anyone else had a problem with the add/remove applications with a fresh install of Karmic?
[00:05] <FactTech> Dravenm4 - What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[00:05] <mhall119> tobiasz, rather, you'll need a simple script that will cd into that directory, then run the python script
[00:05] <jcc1> kwtm: repeat the question, I missed it
[00:05] <tobiasz> mhall119 I just want a launcher on my desktop
[00:05] <FactTech> kwtm - Missed it, too.
[00:05] <Dravenm4> 9.10
[00:06] <mhall119> or have the python program change it's working directory when it's launched
[00:06] <kwtm> jcc1, FactTech: Hi.  When I use "apt-cache search", I have to do some sort of index command before hand, right?  What was that command?  "apt-cache update" or something?
[00:06] <mkanyicy> kpomeroy, did you do apt-get update?
[00:06] <blakkheim> kwtm: aptitude update
[00:06] <jcc1> kwtm: apt-get update
[00:06] <FactTech> kwtm - try 'apt-get update'
[00:06] <fumbles> hrm so mplayer really doesn't play the mkv file much better
[00:06] <tobiasz> mhall119 why does Ubuntu miss the shortcut feature?
[00:06] <blakkheim> fumbles: what resolution is it and what cpu do you have
[00:06] <kwtm> FactTech, jcc1: oky, so you are agreeing with mkanyicy that apt-cache and apt-get use the same index.  In that case, that's funny, some packages aren't there.
[00:06] <mhall119> tobiasz, Ubuntu has .desktop files, which perform the same function, and also symlinks, that are more low-level
[00:06] <mkanyicy> tobiasz, excuse me?
[00:06] <tobiasz> mhall119 the like of windows shortcut which runs files in their working directories
[00:07] <fumbles> lulz it's a laptop
[00:07] <kpomeroy> yes
[00:07] <zoobox> I whould love to set CompizConfig's zoom-function let me zoom by holding the mouse at an edge of the screen and scroll the mousewheel (that is zoom withouth holding "Super" keyboard key and instead holding mouse at for exemple right screen edge)... how do I do?
[00:07] <blakkheim> fumbles: that didn't answer either of my questions "lulz"
[00:07] <FactTech> kwtm - I don't know the details, but I've never noticed them being out of sync.
[00:07] <FactTech> kwtm - What packages are missing?
[00:07] <mhall119> tobiasz, Ubuntu programs are supposed to do this for you
[00:07] <lingam1> I'm having a problem turning a Linux game patch into an executable file. It's for Unreal Tournament, the GOTY edition. I've followed a few different tutorial I found online, but have'nt had any success.
[00:07] <jcc1> kwtm: the packages themselves won't be there until you download them, just locations, versions, etc
[00:07] <kwtm> FactTech: pymedia.  Is that part of Ubuntu or not?
[00:08] <FactTech> Dravenm4 - Can you see the card in the output of 'lspci'?
[00:08] <tobiasz> mhall119 frets on fire must be kinda retarded in that matter then
[00:08] <jolaren> Wubi.exe forces me to install ubuntu 64 bits but I want to use 32 bits as in the ISO how can I stop this?
[00:08] <kwtm> jcc1: Agreed that apt-cache won't download packages, but at least I should be able to locate a package name.
[00:08] <jcc1> kwtm: Have you tried to use Synaptic Package Manager yet?
[00:08] <fumbles> blakkheim: Gateway Laptop- Dual 1.6GHz intel, once I remember the command for resolution I will tell you
[00:08] <FactTech> kwtm - Are you sure you have the correct package name?
[00:08] <blakkheim> jolaren: don't use wubi
[00:08] <mhall119> tobiasz, sounds like you have the source code, not an installable package, yes?
[00:08] <zoobox> the "screen edge" and "edge button" is greyed out in the CompizConfig setting for desktopszooms actions... can I un-disable them?
[00:08] <blakkheim> fumbles: i mean the resolution of the mkv file
[00:09] <tobiasz> mhall119 there is a source code, but I never ever compiled a thing so I dunno what to do, and instruction only says how to compile in windows and mac
[00:09] <Dravenm4> SMBus: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 SMBus Controller
[00:09] <jcc1> kwtm: that will update for you and give you various search options from a GUI
[00:09] <kwtm> jcc1: I'll try.  There are other packages that seem to be missing.  Anyway, for some reason Synaptic (and Compiz) have teensy font sizes (size 7) that I can't read.
[00:09] <mhall119> tobiasz, is there a setup.py?
[00:09] <fumbles> blakkheim: 1920x816
[00:09] <FactTech> Dravenm4 - OK, what's the exact error you get when you try to run alsamixer?
[00:09] <tobiasz> mhall119 yep, I ran it and nothing happened
[00:09] <jcc1> kwtm: I don't use Compiz so I cannot help you there
[00:09] <kwtm> jcc1: (separate issue now --I have *lots* of problems with Ubuntu) I can't read the fonts so I have to use the command-line instead.
[00:09] <mhall119> try python setup.py build
[00:10] <mhall119> followed by: sudo python setup.py install
[00:10] <blakkheim> fumbles: that's quite an odd video resolution, but i think your cpu isn't good enough to handle it. your best bet is to compile the multithreaded version of mplayer and try that.
[00:10] <Dravenm4> No mixer elems found
[00:10] <fumbles> ah ok
[00:10] <fumbles> blakkheim: thank you
[00:10] <blakkheim> fumbles: vlc and the mplayer in ubuntu's repository only use 1 thread
[00:10] <jcc1> kwtm: Compiz has always been a pain the few times I tried it, so I always dumped it, I'm not big on eye candy anyway :-)
[00:10] <fumbles> XMonad ftw
[00:11] <mhall119> tobiasz, does it work when you run it from the /src/ directory?
[00:11] <kwtm> jcc1: I need it for the magnifier function, so I can read the screen properly.
[00:11] <zoobox> or can I sett the hotkeys (or rather "hot-mouse-cliks") for compiz stuff in some other way than CompizConfig?
[00:11] <tobiasz> mhall119 it does run perfectly
[00:11] <tobiasz> mhall119 I just want a desktop shortcut
[00:11] <mhall119> okay, then one way or the other we can get this working
[00:11] <jcc1> kwtm: If it were me, I would just dump Compiz
[00:11] <fumbles> tobiasz: right click create launcher
[00:11] <mkanyicy> tobiasz, what is this command?
[00:11] <dropedrobarri> hi, after rebooting with my ubuntu 9.10, a bunch of applets disappeared.
[00:12] <jcc1> kwtm: just eye candy anyway
[00:12] <zoobox> jcc1: there is one good thing with Compiz though... zoom
[00:12] <fumbles> enter custom terminal command and voila shortcut
[00:12] <mkanyicy> tobiasz, what is this command that you want it's shortcut?
[00:12] <dropedrobarri> including net applet volume applet and others
[00:12] <dropedrobarri> is there a way to restore them?
[00:12] <zoobox> if I just could use zoom without having to use keyboard
[00:12] <jcc1> zoobox: I have nothing against Compiz, just more than I find usefull, that's all
[00:12] <FactTech> Dravenm4 - Have you looked at some of the results at http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=alsamixer+no+mixer+elems+found&aq=0&aqi=g1&oq=alsamixer+no+mixer+e&fp=b36c7832dbb01be6
[00:13] <mkanyicy> dropedrobarri, rightclick the panel and then "add to panel"
[00:13] <dropedrobarri> mkanyicy, they are not there. Thats why i am asking here...
[00:13] <tobiasz> mhall119 http://paste.ubuntu.com/351004/
[00:13] <mhall119> easiest way is to create a file at /usr/bin/fretsonfire with the content "cd /home/whereeveritis/src/; python whatever.py"
[00:13] <Glass0wl> this new version of ubuntu seems to work much faster on my laptop, but switching to the gui takes absolutely no time which makes me think it's constantly running in the background, didn't it put the gui to sleep when switching to tty1-6 in the past?
[00:13] <mkanyicy> dropedrobarri, they are not where?
[00:14] <SoftwareExplorer> I have a problem with ssh: whenever I try to connect to an ip address that I connected to before, it wont let me connect because the computer has a different key. I know it has a different key, because it's different installs of ubuntu on the same computer. In jaunty I could connect anyway, after it told me and asked. Is there a better way to fix this than symlinking ~/.ssh/known_hosts to /dev/null?
[00:14] <dropedrobarri> mkanyicy, the are not in the "add to panel" menu..
[00:14] <legend2440> dropedrobarri: add  Notification Area
[00:14] <mkanyicy> dropedrobarri, there is Volume Control there
[00:14] <blakkheim> SoftwareExplorer: ...remove known_hosts?
[00:15] <mkanyicy> dropedrobarri, and there is Network Monitor as well
[00:15] <bean> SoftwareExplorer:  yes, you can remove the offending line from known_hosts
[00:15] <dropedrobarri> mkanyicy, it WAS there. I booted today and it wasnt there
[00:15] <mhall119> tobiasz, once you have that script working, you can create a desktop launcher to it
[00:15] <tobiasz> mhall119 trying it out as we speak
[00:16] <mkanyicy> dropedrobarri, is the "there" part that get us misunderstand one another, these are in the Add to Panel menu
[00:16] <SoftwareExplorer> bean: I know I can do that, but it's a pain to do every time. All the computers I ssh into are in my house, so I'm not really worried that they might have a different key
[00:17] <dropedrobarri> mkanyicy, they were in the "add to panel" menu. And they've just disappeared, and its no way to add them..
[00:17] <SoftwareExplorer> bean: if I could just have it ask when there is already an entry for an ip, it would be fine.
[00:17] <Izinucs> My turn for a grub question.. I need to add a command to the kernel line to get my system working (pci=nomsi).. I'm editing /etc/default/grub and added what I need in the same line as "quiet splash" which should work.  Top of the edit window show I'll need to run "update-grub" when I'm done.. however I'm doing this from a live cd.. will the live cd update-grub still update the installed systems grub?
[00:17] <Dravenm4> apt-get tells me I have all the newest versions of base , headers, and utils I am very new to linux not even 50% yet
[00:17] <lluvia_> somebody knows a irc for ekiga?
[00:17] <mkanyicy> dropedrobarri, that is very strange
[00:17] <bean> Host 192.168.0.*
[00:17] <bean>    StrictHostKeyChecking no
[00:17] <bean>    UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null
[00:17] <bean> SoftwareExplorer: ^^
[00:17] <jcc1> SoftwareExplorer: once you delete the file it just creates another one with the new keys (as you ssh into them) unless you are re-loading OP Systems daily this shouldn't be that big an issue
[00:18] <CShadowRun> lluvia_: gimpnet #ekiga
[00:18] <CShadowRun> lluvia_: infact, it's probably on irc.gnome.org #ekiga
[00:18] <dropedrobarri> what is the name of the package that contains all gnome applets?
[00:18] <SoftwareExplorer> jcc1: The problem is that I'm multibooting, with one physical computer always at the same ip
[00:18] <davidrawson> hello
[00:18] <davidrawson> whoops
[00:19] <StrayHyena> hello
[00:19] <SoftwareExplorer> bean: where should I put the StrictHostKeyChecking thing?
[00:19] <charnel> where is gtkrc in ubuntu 9.10
[00:19] <charnel> ?
[00:19] <lluvia_> CShadowRun: Thanks!
[00:19] <jcc1> SoftwareExplorer: I'm not sure there is a lot you can do other than what you ave already suggested
[00:20] <SoftwareExplorer> charnel: I think there in /usr/share/themes/<themenamehere>/gtkrc
[00:20] <SoftwareExplorer> *they're
[00:20] <karim__> hi
[00:20] <charnel> SoftwareExplorer: If its a custome theme how can i know the folder which holds the details
[00:21] <tobiasz> mhall119 can't get it to work
[00:21] <mhall119> what's the error?
[00:21] <SoftwareExplorer> charnel: I think it's in like gtk-2.0 folder inside the folder inside the theme
[00:21] <mhall119> charnel, it'll be under your user folder
[00:21] <mkanyicy> SoftwareExplorer, maybe put what bean suggested in /etc/ssh/ssh_config
[00:21] <mhall119> charnel, ~/.themes/
[00:22] <mkanyicy> hi karim__
[00:22] <karim__> I would like to share a folder with two users, so I have set the folder as 775, with the sgid bit, and two users in the same group, and set the umask to 002, however if I copy files, they don't inherit the permissions 775 of the shared folder
[00:22] <Purpley1> Hey guys Im trying to change my monitor to display DVI but when I go to DVI my screen goes blank and then it goes back to VGA can someone help?
[00:22] <dropedrobarri> hey, whats the name of the binary of "ubuntu software center"?
[00:22] <SoftwareExplorer> mkanyicy: thanks, just a minute, I'm going to go try it
[00:22] <charnel> yes but I have many themes  and when I right click and select the change background it says that I am using a custom theme does not provide its name in this condition which file in .themes shall I look
[00:22] <charnel> ?
[00:22] <Dravenm4> ok Ill try again Im new to linux I just installed ubuntu 9.10 and everything works except sound I see the hardware but asla says no mixer and there is no hardware profile in the volume controls please help
[00:23] <jcc1> karim: check your smb.conf file
[00:23] <legend2440> dropedrobarri: /usr/bin/software-center
[00:23] <mkanyicy> karim__, why don't you copy the files with "cp -p" ?
[00:23] <jim__> does ubuntu have a phone contact
[00:23] <tobiasz> mhall119 where can I upload screenshot for you
[00:24] <jim__> how do i restore my computer something just messed up
[00:24] <blakkheim> jim__: what happened?
[00:24] <mkanyicy> karim__, secondly, I think i once heard a guru saying using umask is not a good practice
[00:24] <zvacet> jim__ : if you can be more specific...
[00:24] <macman_> there a ubuntu jaunty hcannel ?
[00:24] <jim__> it said there was 300 some odd updates and i clicked teh updates and messed my comp up
[00:24] <macman_> s/hcannel/channel
[00:25] <zvacet> macman_ : you can ask here about jaunty
[00:25] <zoobox> in what file do Compiz store the settings (for the things... what is they called "plugins" ?) ?
[00:25] <blakkheim> zoobox: install ccsm
[00:25] <macman_> zvacet: this place is always busy for questions
[00:25] <zoobox> blakkheim:  what is ccsm?
[00:25] <blakkheim> zoobox: then you can export all your settings to a filee
[00:25] <blakkheim> zoobox: compizconfig-settings-manager
[00:25] <mkanyicy> macman_, don't feel left out, my friend, this is for jaunty as well
[00:25] <karim__> mkanyicy: why would a user do that from command line ?
[00:25] <zvacet> macman_ : this is a place for all supported versions of ubuntu
[00:26] <jim__> hello?
[00:26] <scunizi> will update-grub from within the live cd work on an installed system after I've edited /etc/default/grub and added something?
[00:26] <mkanyicy> karim__, do what?
[00:26] <meoblast001> hi, i'm having trouble finding a cronjob i created, where are all the possible places it could be at
[00:26] <macman_> oh ok cool .. i remember when jaunty first came out they had a channel for it

[00:27] <zoobox> blakkheim: ah! ok yeah it is ccsm I use. but the "screen edge" and "edge button" columns in the settings is grayed out .... how do I set them?
[00:27] <jim__> windoes
[00:27] <jim__> wondows
[00:27] <meoblast001> what about windows?
[00:27] <macman_> jim__: windows has been crap since day one and should be shut down
[00:27] <scunizi> !ask | jim__ without all the foul language
[00:27] <jim__> thats the best
[00:27] <mkanyicy> ban this jim__ guy please!
[00:27] <zvacet> jim__ : if you don´t like it use something else
[00:27] <meoblast001> jim__: Windows is a proprietary operating system made by people who do not care about your or your freedom, they only care about your money
[00:28] <howdeep> don't feed the troll
[00:28] <zvacet> !languagfe |jim__
[00:28] <DaZ> meoblast001: blablabla :3

[00:28] <blakkheim> "your or your freedom" lol
[00:28] <meoblast001> blakkheim: >.<
[00:28] <tobiasz> mhall119 nothing happens
[00:28] <Purpley1> Is there a way to completely wipe xorg and start from the begining with configuring it?
[00:28] <mhall119> tobiasz, running from the command line?
[00:28] <Purpley1> I messed up a lot of stuff
[00:29] <erkan^> Yes that's right what you said, meoblast001
[00:29] <erkan^> :d

[00:29] <mhall119> Purpley1, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg I think
[00:29] <DaZ> Purpley1: the only configuration file in xorg is xorg.conf
[00:29] <scunizi> Purpley1: sure.. just rename it xorg.conf.backup and then make a new xorg.conf
[00:29] <mhall119> what scunizi said
[00:30] <mhall119> modern XOrg will auto-configure itself
[00:30] <jim__> when i go to add/remove  it dont work
[00:30] <Purpley1> No I'd prefer a GUI interface to reconfigure everything instead of text lines
[00:30] <jim__> major failure
[00:30] <mhall119> jim__, what doesn't work?
[00:30] <jim__> it worked fine 20 minutes ago
[00:30] <mhall119> Purpley1, GUI is often harder to explain than text
[00:30] <tobiasz> mhall119 http://paste.ubuntu.com/351009/
[00:30] <jim__> i need to talk to someone directly
[00:30] <amedee> If someone of the Community Council is following this chat, I have just sent an email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[00:30] <jondecker76> can anyone help me with a disappeared mdadm raid1 array?
[00:31] <mhall119> jim__, about what?
[00:31] <jim__> my laptop will not go online anymore
[00:31] <scunizi> jim__: you're talking to 1200+ directly
[00:31] <zvacet> jim__ : run from terminal  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and pastebin output here
[00:31] <mkanyicy> jim__, state your problem, clearly
[00:31] <jim__> i dont no what the problem is
[00:31] <Purpley1> I have my monitors VGA port plugged into it but I also have the DVI port plugged in, I want to use the DVI port but when I scan for new monitors it dosen't recognize anything
[00:31] <erkan^> HDMI, purpley ?
[00:31] <jim__> i want to restore my computer back to an hour ago before it took a crap
[00:31] <Wavesonics> !!!! god i hate linux some times... so i need a live CD to do a fsck on my FS, but i need the alternate CD, b/c it is the only one w\ mdadm for my RAID, but the alternate CD doesn't have fsck apparently?!
[00:31] <mhall119> Purpley1, both connectors going to the same monitor?
[00:32] <scunizi> Purpley1: xorg is typically empty and the video system is run by xrandr ..
[00:32] <Gumby> hi all.  just installed ubuntu 9.10 64bit and I have connected the spdif audio output to the hdmi on my video card.  I'm getting a horrid noise that stops and starts at random intervals through my speakers when doing this.  Just take it out put in the DVI and then what?
[00:33] <jim__> laptop
[00:33] <mhall119> Purpley1, then try and detect it
[00:33] <mkanyicy> jim__, ok, are you having windows as well?
[00:33] <Purpley1> But how, I can't see anything my screen will be black
[00:33] <jim__> im on my pc which is windows
[00:33] <Purpley1> One I unplug the VGA my monitor shuts off
[00:33] <erkan^away> jim__, i don't like windows
[00:34] <mkanyicy> jim__, there is no windows on the laptop?
[00:34] <blakkheim> jim__: sorry to hear that
[00:34] <scunizi> Purpley1: I've missed most of this.. and I can't scroll back.. are you having issues getting the live cd working or dual monitors or what?
[00:34] <zvacet> jim__  did you installed by wubi or dual boot
[00:34] <zoobox> blakkheim, how do I export my CCSM settings to a file? ccsm doesn't seem to have a button for that, and doesn't have any man-help och --help help from command line?
[00:34] <Purpley1> I have my monitors VGA port plugged into it but I also have the DVI port plugged in, I want to use the DVI port but when I scan for new monitors it dosen't recognize anything
[00:34] <Purpley1> "it" is my computer
[00:34] <APERSON> zoobox, doesn't it store your config in your home dir?
[00:34] <mkanyicy> erkan^away, please let's our likes and dislikes to ourselves for now
[00:34] <jim__> i clicked update manager and it started to do 300 something updates and now my computer is messed up
[00:35] <mkanyicy> jim__, what is messed up?
[00:35] <mhall119> Purpley1, it probably doesn't find anything new because it already sees it on the VGA
[00:35] <shashike> i  changed  my  password on ubuntu and now i cant install anything from ubuntu software center !1!
[00:35] <scunizi> Purpley1: so is that 2 different monitors or 2 cables plugged into the same monitor?
[00:35] <karim__> mkanyicy: yes but a user would need to ask a guy to change them if he forgot. and since we human forgot a lot
[00:35] <Scott1979> my question is why when i expecting my comuter to be at idle on the network it continues to recive around 60 bytes goes up to 119 bytes and i send around 166bytes but this is in ubuntu 9.10
[00:35] <jim__> if i new i  wouldnt be asking for help
[00:35] <Scott1979> i expect it to actually idle not send recive
[00:35] <zoobox> APERSON: hmm yeah I might have found its settings... /.gconf/apps/compiz/plugins/ ?
[00:35] <jim__> ill type exactly waht it says when i highlight the update manager
[00:36] <innagaddadavida> Anyone having problems with ksoftirqd taking 100% cpu on karmic?
[00:36] <scunizi> Purpley1: if it's one monitor turn the machine off and unplug the vga cable.. then turn it back on.. it should detect automatically
[00:36] <mkanyicy> karim__, I don't understand you, you responded after a very long time
[00:36] <zvacet> jim__ use  http://ubuntu.pastebin.com to give as output of command witch yopu will run from applications>accessories>terminal  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:36] <Scott1979> is this a normal thing to see packets up and down when computer is at idle
[00:36] <APERSON> zoobox, it appears to be ~/.config/compiz
[00:36] <scunizi> Scott1979: yes
[00:36] <mhall119> Scott1979, just because it's idle, doesn't mean it's not doing _anything_
[00:36] <OerHeks> Scott1979 if you use irc, your pc sends and recieves bytes
[00:36] <mhall119> there are background processes that check for updates and such
[00:36] <APERSON> zoobox, though it looks like compiz's settings are where you listed
[00:36] <Purpley1> OK I'll try it if it works ill come back and tell you guys
[00:37] <howdeep> Is it possible to install ubuntu by booting from LAN?
[00:37] <zoobox> APERSON: ahh.. there it is. thanks
[00:37] <scunizi> mhall119: yes.. but you can force a check on cli with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:37] <mhall119> howdeep, yes
[00:37] <Scott1979> yes i understand that much but do u think it is just requesting connection to the adsl gatway or actually using my downloads
[00:37] <mkanyicy> howdeep, yes
[00:37] <APERSON> howdeep, yes
[00:37] <mhall119> howdeep, google PXE
[00:37] <jim__> an error occured pleas e run package manager from  the right click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. the error message was error:broken count >0' this usally mean that your installed
[00:37] <howdeep> mhall119,  thanks
[00:37] <jim__> packages have unmnet dependecnies
[00:38] <Scott1979> mhall119 yes i understand that much but do u think it is just requesting connection to the adsl gatway or actually using my downloads
[00:38] <jim__> anythign ?
[00:38] <mhall119> Scott1979, it's probably checking for updates from Ubuntu's servers
[00:38] <zvacet> jim__ I n terminal type sudo apt-get -f install
[00:38] <karim__> mkanyicy: what i want is to enforce permissions in a folder, so that all files are modifiable by users of a group. However, if a user copy a file as rwxr-xr-x , the others can't modify it. That's what I want to avoid
[00:38] <Scott1979> yeah ok cool ill look into that
[00:38] <mhall119> if you have IRC or some other IM client running, it's probably periodically checking in
[00:38] <jim__> zvacet i dont no what yor talking about
[00:38] <karim__> creation is ok though
[00:39] <dany_> (<)(>) Como estan todos  (<)(>)
[00:39] <mkanyicy> jim__, try "sudo apt-get --fix-missing install"
[00:39] <jim__> how do i do that
[00:39] <mhall119> !es | dany_
[00:39] <zvacet> jim__ applications>accessories<terminal and there type sudo apt-get -f install

[00:40] <ganymede> i'm a bit confused about NFS...i used NFS to share /mnt/N on a server, which had 74 gigs used, 1.4 gigs free. from a client, i mounted myserver:/mnt/N and deleted a 14 GB file off that mount. now, on the server, it still reports 74 gigs used and 1.4 gigs free from df -h, but the deleted file no longer appears and du -sh . at the root of the drive says 61 gigs used (which is correct and expected) why haven't the df -h results updated?
[00:40] <ganymede>  the /etc/exports on the server contains: /mnt/N luckybun(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
[00:40] <dany_> (<)(>) I hot  (<)(>)
[00:40] <dany_> (<)(>) JAJA JAJA JAJA JAJA JAJA JAJA JAJA JAJA JAJA JAJA JAJA JAJA JAJA JAJA JAJA JAJA  (<)(>)
[00:40] <mkanyicy> karim__, i dont understand you, apart from what you want to avoid, what do you want to achieve?
[00:40] <shashike> i can no longer install anything on ubuntu ... SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
[00:40] <jondecker76> please, can anyone help me with my mdadm raid1 array?
[00:41] <AllHailTheGeek> dany_, ese no es un canal social.

[00:41] <AllHailTheGeek> (hay unos que hablan espanol en ##socialites
[00:41] <jim__> dpkg was interupted, you must manually run ' dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem
[00:41] <nisstyre65> shashike; did you forget your password?
[00:41] <shashike> NO... i changed my password
[00:41] <jim__> now what?
[00:41] <nisstyre65> so
[00:41] <mkanyicy> jim__, run that command then
[00:41] <nisstyre65> what is the problem?
[00:42] <jim__> how
[00:42] <zvacet> jim__ :also from terminal  sudo dpkg --configure -a
[00:42] <mkanyicy> jim__, sudo dpkg --configure -a
[00:42] <Purpley1> Okay im back and it works!
[00:42] <Purpley1> thanks guys
[00:42] <nisstyre65> We need more info than "It doesn't work!!!11"
[00:42] <doneill> am i the only person who has had constant issues with pulseaudio since 8.10?
[00:43] <doneill> i'm at 9.10 now and... it still absolutely sucks.
[00:43] <tobiasz> mhall119 I give up, stupid ass thing
[00:43] <ganymede> doneill, no, but sometimes, i feel like the only one who hasn't had any issues with pulseaudio
[00:43] <doneill> hmm, maybe i'm the only one having the issues more likely.
[00:43] <tobiasz> doneill lol for me 9.04 was slow and sucky, 9.10 seems bloody fast
[00:43] <doneill> 9.10 isn't slow, it just works for 10 minutes then stops.  like a trial version of pulseaudio.
[00:43] <SoftwareExplorer> shashike: So you're saying you don't remember your password?
[00:43] <jim__> what is it doing now>
[00:44] <meoblast001> how do you kill a process you disowned?
[00:44] <doneill> sudo kill <pid>
[00:44] <mkanyicy> this channel is getting rude
[00:44] <DrJackill69> Salve a tutti
[00:44] <unop> meoblast001,  kill $pid
[00:44] <ganymede> meoblast001, look for it in "ps aux" and kill by pid
[00:44] <Purpley1> mkanyicy, whY?
[00:44] <DrJackill69> Hello anybody
[00:44] <mkanyicy> Purpley1, don't mind, I am ultra sensitive with language sometimes
[00:45] <scunizi> mkanyicy: if things get out of line and against the CoC you can call ops with !ops
[00:45] <zvacet> jim__ : did you run sudo dpkg --configure -a from terminal
[00:45] <Purpley1> mkanyicy, people shouldn't be cussing there are children in this room
[00:45] <jim__> yea
[00:45] <mkanyicy> jim__, and then what happened?
[00:46] <karim__> mkanyicy: I want to share a folder with two users, so they can both have full control
[00:46] <jim__> its just showing lots of text
[00:47] <mkanyicy> karim__, yes, you mentioned setting permissions to 775, what is wrong with that?
[00:47] <jim__> will this fix my prblem
[00:47] <zvacet> jim__ : let it do the job you will see when it is finish
[00:47] <Purpley1> karim__, Is it remotely or on the same computer?
[00:47] <karim__> Purpley1: same
[00:47] <IdleOne> jim__: I am assuming a update was interrupted and did not finish, that command you just ran is attempting to configure all the packages that were not completely installed
[00:47] <karim__> mkanyicy: reread what I wrote before
[00:48] <lotek> O_O sup all
[00:48] <jim__> i think its done
[00:48] <mkanyicy> karim__, I no longer have it, I press CTRL+L frequently,
[00:48] <DrJackill69> irc://irc.grolug.org/lord_empire
[00:49] <mkanyicy> karim__, anyway, I think you said you changed the group to be the one both users belong to, and that should be fine
[00:49] <lotek> any1 know if u can set up a xfire on ubuntu
[00:49] <kwtm> jcc1: What screen magnifier would you recommend if not the one in Compiz, that would work with Kubuntu (KDE3)?  I tried KMag but it takes too much clicking.  I want one that appears when I need it and disappears when I don't need it.
[00:49] <jim__> i need a network connection
[00:49] <PeteTehPirate> Can somone help me with Ubuntu 9.10 ,Xorg, ATI/Radeon/FGLRX, and a Radeon Xpress1150 (AKA - Xpress200M) My laptop is a dell insprion 1501.  Xorg config (made manually - http://pastebin.com/m65b75384) TY =]
[00:49] <Purpley1> lotek, Yes if you run it under wine or a virtualbox
[00:49] <lotek> thx
[00:49] <karim__> mkanyicy: the problem is that my shared folder is rwxrwsr-x, but I still can copy a file in it that will be rwxr-xr-x if the source file was like that
[00:50] <zvacet> jim__ :how did you get updates without net
[00:50] <Wavesonics> when converting a ext3 FS to ext4, should the fsck take a long time? (2TB drive)
[00:50] <karim__> however creation will be according to my umask=0002  and be rwxrwxr-x
[00:50] <jim__> i dont no
[00:50] <lstarnes> Wavesonics: 2TB is a lot of space
[00:50] <IdleOne> Wavesonics: could take at least 2 hours
[00:50] <kwtm> jcc1: What screen magnifier would you recommend if not the one in Compiz, that would work with Kubuntu (KDE3)?  I tried KMag but it takes too much clicking.  I want one that appears when I need it and disappears when I don't need it.
[00:50] <zvacet> jim__ : and you are on Windows now or what
[00:50] <Wavesonics> oh ok good, thought something might be wrong :)

[00:52] <jim__> anyboyd?
[00:52] <jim__> any body?
[00:52] <karim__> mkanyicy: I want to be sure that in this folder all users can have fullcontrol
[00:52] <mkanyicy> karim__, of course other users will NOT be able to modify such a file
[00:53] <karim__> mkanyicy: and that's what I don't want to happen
[00:53] <mkanyicy> karim__, oh, now you come with what you want to achieve, at last

[00:53] <karim__> Purpley1: but this require a manual intervention
[00:53] <mkanyicy> karim__, sudo chmod 1777 directory_name
[00:53] <jim__> i cant get internet on my laptop
[00:53] <johntramp> hey.  my netbook has started turning off at around 40-50% battery life. it never used to do this. it happens on both linux operating systems i have installed here. has anyone ideas what it could be?
[00:54] <Purpley1> karim__, what do you mean?
[00:54] <karim__> mkanyicy: come on !! here even users not in the group will be able to write
[00:54] <karim__> that's not what I want
[00:54] <Tim1> can u run both ubunto and xp both at the same time and switch back and forth without rebooting I guess not
[00:54] <karim__> I want just users in a particular group
[00:54] <Suncross> Hey can anyone help a newbie out with some audio problems (fresh ubuntu install).
[00:54] <IdleOne> Tim1: nope
[00:54] <karim__> Purpley1: that's not what I want
[00:55] <Purpley1> Suncross, What seems to be the problem
[00:55] <jim__> can someone help me please
[00:55] <lotek> i had a problem with my wifi and had 2 install ndiswrapper for my drive's
[00:55] <karim__> Purpley1: here, all users can delete files
[00:55] <Tim1> Idle it has to be rebooted  I guess
[00:55] <lepr> what is a good tool for getting a list of just the hosts that my computer connects via network?
[00:55] <Purpley1> karim__, man chmod read it there should be an flag to do what you need
[00:55] <Suncross> Purpley1: I don't have any audio, and the thread I have on the forums can be found here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8605470#post8605470
[00:55] <IdleOne> Tim1: yes
[00:55] <mkanyicy> karim__, I understand your problem now
[00:56] <Purpley1> Suncross, Do you have a soundcard?
[00:56] <Tim1> idle ubunto does it have any utility to unformat a xp drive that has been accidently formatted
[00:56] <tobiasz> I've got big 24'' wide screen monitor, and while watching movies, or playing games I notice lac of sync in refreshing from time to time
[00:56] <alde> jim__,  do you see the network icon on the top right of the screen?
[00:56] <Suncross> Purpley1:  I do, however I am just trying to get my on board sound to work at the moment (It is in fact enabled in the bios).
[00:56] <jim__> not no more
[00:56] <lstarnes> Tim1: it is usually impossible to unformat
[00:56] <IdleOne> Tim1: none that I know of.
[00:56] <alde> jim__, open up a terminal and try "sudo NetworkManager"
[00:56] <culinor> Tim1, you can with VirtualBox
[00:57] <IdleOne> Tim1: I would have to agree with lstarnes
[00:57] <Purpley1> Suncross, Well what do you want to use ultimately
[00:57] <Tim1> there are recovery tools ...istarness  idleone
[00:57] <lepr> Tim1: check debian forensics for info.  if yes, it will probably be there
[00:57] <doneill> how do i reinstall *pulseaudio*, wiping all configuration files etcetera along the way?
[00:57] <dropedrobarri> how can i prevent apache of running a startup???
[00:57] <IdleOne> Tim1: yes, undelete tools but unformat? I doubt it
[00:57] <lotek> did u check your iwconfig to see if u have drive install
[00:57] <kwtm> Is there any CLI command to see what files a DEB package *will* install, without actually installing the package?
[00:57] <lepr> doneill: first purge then install
[00:57] <mayki> chown --help
[00:57] <Tim1> Idle: ok
[00:57] <lstarnes> dropedrobarri: maybe sudo aptitude reinstall --purge pulseaudio
[00:58] <Purpley1> Suncross, Actually have you ran Hardware Drivers in system>administration
[00:58] <Suncross> Purpley1:  The sound card of course.
[00:58] <aguy> i have a question hope someone can help
[00:58] <Suncross> Purpley1: Yes I have
[00:58] <lepr> kwtm: yes, but i forget what.  aptitude probably.
[00:58] <doneill> lepr: that would be slick, but that would also remove all my applications, since they all seem to link to pulse.
[00:58] <lstarnes> aguy: you haven't asked it yet
[00:58] <Suncross> Purpley1: It only has my ATI drivers listed though.
[00:58] <aguy> i was tryin to get a secondary hard drive to mount on startup
[00:58] <jim__> alde the command is not found
[00:58] <carlos> hola
[00:58] <Purpley1> Suncross, What is your motherboards model and manufacturer?
[00:58] <lepr> doneill: i thought you already removed pulse.  oh i see you wish to reinstall pulse but not apps.
[00:58] <aguy> messed around and now i cant find it
[00:59] <Suncross> Purpley1: just a moment
[00:59] <carlos> español.?
[00:59] <LinoSP> hola carlos
[00:59] <aguy> i see it in fdisk -l
[00:59] <Purpley1> Suncross,  Take your time
[00:59] <LinoSP> entra a #ubuntu-es
[00:59] <mkanyicy> karim__, you can create a cron script that will enforce these permissions to be the way you want
[00:59] <Purpley1> aguy
[00:59] <jim__> alde?
[00:59] <lepr> doneill: maybe you can find the info about what the config files are for pa.  most everything is text listse
[00:59] <dropedrobarri> lstarnes, why would i reinstall and purge pulse audio? will that help preventing apache running at startup?
[00:59] <aguy> yes
[00:59] <tobiasz> I've got big 24'' wide screen monitor, and while watching movies, or playing games I notice lac of sync in refreshing from time to time
[00:59] <Purpley1> sudo mount (hd1,0)
[00:59] <Purpley1> see if that works
[00:59] <sheila> I could use some help installing the Adobe reader and getting it to work in FireFox.
[00:59] <doneill> lepr: yeah, looks like a handballed rm -R is the way to go.
[01:00] <Suncross> Purpley1: Manufacturer: Asus, Model: P5Q Pro Turbo
[01:00] <mayki> i got a .dmrc pop up when logging in, so i tried changing $HOME to 644 like it said I should, but now I can't even cd to $HOME, I tried sudo chown and sudo chmod and still nothing, it looks like it works but i get nada, anyone not too busy to help?
[01:00] <lstarnes> dropedrobarri: sorry, my client's tab completion was failing again
[01:00] <karim__> mkanyicy: I though about doing it at boot time. that's ugly though, like cron

[01:00] <aguy> mouse sucks bare pls
[01:00] <sheila> I've downloaded a 40 MB bin file. I have no idea what bin is. I can't identify it, neither can anything else.
[01:00] <PeteTehPirate> Can somone help me with Ubuntu 9.10 ,Xorg, ATI/Radeon/FGLRX, and a Radeon Xpress1150 (AKA - Xpress200M) My laptop is a dell insprion 1501.  Xorg config (made manually - http://pastebin.com/m65b75384) TY =]    (One of many errors is http://pastebin.com/m53b61d28 )
[01:00] <alde> jim__, do "sudo apt-get -f install"
[01:00] <karim__> mkanyicy: I though also about fuse. a fuse mount application could probably enforce the rights
[01:00] <Guest58091> hola tengo un incombeniente quiero descargar debian y no consigo una pagina que tenga el link justo.. alguien me puede ayudar.?
[01:00] <BitEncrypt> where is a good place to learn about ubuntus shell
[01:00] <mkanyicy> karim__, sorry, I took a long time to understand what you want to achieve
[01:00] <doneill> sheila: usually you set those to Executable (in Properties) then just run it.
[01:00] <karim__> maybe it exists, if not I might code it
[01:01] <DaZ_> sheila: there's adobe reader in some repository imo
[01:01] <lstarnes> !bash | BitEncrypt
[01:01] <pjotter> Does anybody know how to set up a simple test-task with "Scheduled tasks". I tried running firefox every minute. But somehow it just don't work. Minutes pass and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? (Ubuntu Karmic, clean install, app: Scheduled Tasks)
[01:01] <jim__> command not found
[01:02] <sheila> DaZ_: I tried autocompleting adobe in the terminal, adobe-flashplugin is it.
[01:02] <pjotter> My cronfile contains this: "* * * * * /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.3/firefox # JOB_ID_3"
[01:02] <jim__> got it
[01:02] <lepr> Tim1: there is a debian forensics web page & IRC channel on irc.debian.org
[01:02] <mayki> nevermind, i got it
[01:02] <Guest77777> Soup.
[01:02] <sheila> doneill: Attempting
[01:02] <jim__> now what alde
[01:02] <alde> jim__, what did you get?
[01:02] <Purpley1> Suncross, http://www.userdrivers.com/url.php?link=aHR0cDovL2RsY2RuZXQuYXN1cy5jb20vcHViL0FTVVMvbWIvc29ja2V0Nzc1L1A1UV9UdXJiby9MaW51eERyaXZlcnMuemlw
[01:03] <Guest77777> This chan sounds 2 srsbzns for me.
[01:03] <Purpley1> Suncross, please tell me if you need help installing the drivers
[01:03] <Guest58091> alguien habla español..?
[01:03] <jim__>  i dunno
[01:03] <mister_roboto> pjotter: my guess is that it's actually running but as root and fails to connect to your X server. you should see log entries every time it runs.
[01:03] <doneill> sheila: i would suggest "running in a terminal" if you are given the option
[01:03] <jim__> i think the problem is im out of space on my hard rive
[01:04] <alde> jim__, did "sudo apt-get -f install" run properly?
[01:04] <digitalaxis> Anyone know if there is a way to get directx 9.0c on WINE? I want to install AION and thats all thats stopping me
[01:04] <jim__> yes
[01:04] <alde> jim__, that's highly unlikely if all you have is ubuntu installed
[01:04] <DaZ_> sheila: http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/otherversions/ here you can download it as .deb [;
[01:04] <Suncross> Purpley1: I am not sure how to compile / use that file you linked me.
[01:04] <Guest58091> español-..?
[01:04] <Guest58091> alguien..?
[01:04] <DaZ_> !es| Guest58091
[01:04] <Guest58091> hablan español..?
[01:04] <Purpley1> Suncross, Can you open the .zip file?
[01:05] <aguy> ok mouse problem fixed
[01:05] <jim__> what do u want me to tell ya that it says
[01:05] <aguy> was havin trouble finding a second hard disk
[01:05] <Suncross> Purpley1: Yes I can, and I extracted it
[01:05] <alde> jim__, now try "sudo NetworkManager", it's case-sensitive
[01:05] <aguy> when I try to mount is says can't find hd0,1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[01:05] <jim__> last line is unable to fetch some archives maybe run apt-get update or try fix missing
[01:05] <jcc1> kwtm: sorry, I was on the phone... I rarely use 'em so I don't have a good anser
[01:05] <jmoney> wassup guys
[01:06] <Real_Ubot> I want to display feeds in Conky BUT I want the feeds to be clickable so that I can visit the pages, not only showing the item titles. Is this possible to achive?
[01:06] <Purpley1> Go to Linuxdrivers/Audio
[01:06] <alde> jim__, then run "sudo apt-get update"
[01:06] <pjotter> mister_roboto: should I look in de syslog?
[01:06] <Purpley1> Suncross,  Go to Linuxdrivers/Audio
[01:06] <Guest58091> hi real_ubot
[01:07] <mister_roboto> pjotter: i forget exactly where it gets logged. but i think yes, it should be in syslog and/or messages
[01:07] <Purpley1> Suncross, then open the tar.gz file and extract that somewhere
[01:07] <jim__> i dont no what to do
[01:07] <mister_roboto> pjotter: if it's your own crontab (your uid's crontab) you might want to check your unix mailbox too. usually on failure you will get a mail
[01:07] <jim__> i need to speak with someone over the  phone
[01:07] <Purpley1> Suncross, Are you done that step?
[01:07] <Suncross> Purpley1: one moment
[01:07] <Purpley1> Suncross, Take your time
[01:08] <kLown> im trying to play a video on a web site (flash), I can see the video, but it wont play.  gnash, and flash are both installed, anyone got any ideas?
[01:08] <rsp> how can I listen to line-in?
[01:08] <jim__> am i going to get any help or what?
[01:09] <doneill> jim, paid support is available through cannonical
[01:09] <jim__> this is unreal
[01:09] <doneill> including phone support
[01:09] <doneill> actually, this is just a user channel :)
[01:09] <Suncross> Purpley1: Ok I extracted it.  Now what?
[01:10] <pjotter> mister_roboto: It shows up in the syslog. Every minute: "CRON[14974]: (test) CMD (/usr/lib/firefox-3.5.3/firefox # JOB_ID_3)". But no errors of any kind.
[01:10] <mister_roboto> pjotter: check your mail
[01:10] <Darkedge> Is there a testing repos, Like Debian has, For Ubuntu?
[01:10] <mister_roboto> pjotter: run "mail" on the cmd line
[01:10] <Darkedge> and whats a good theme? :)
[01:10] <MindVirus> I installed newer versions of software from a repository that I have now removed. Is there any way to roll back?
[01:10] <Purpley1> Suncross, Could you please give me the directory where you just extracted the file?
[01:10] <iceroot> Darkedge: no because ubuntu is debian sid what is the highest testing-tree
[01:10] <zoobox> Hmm... it seems that for a plugin like "expo" I can set the hotkey for Expo to be [TopLeft Button5], but not for a plugin like "ezoom", am I doing somthing wrong here? (even if I write it directly in the exported profile file that I import back in ccsm, it just ignores it)
[01:10] <zoobox> Perhaps I just have a too old version of compiz though... anyone here that uses compiz that cares to check?
[01:11] <doneill> sure zoo
[01:11] <Suncross> Purpley1: '/home/suncross/Desktop/untitled folder/LinuxDrivers/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC3'
[01:11] <tim_> Hi everyone, I was just wondering if someone could help me install Samba. It keeps saying that there are broken packages when I use Synaptic and when I try "sudo apt-get install samba"
[01:11] <doneill> ezoom = enhanced zoom desktop?
[01:11] <Darkedge> iceroot: oh ok, I think I might be switching to Ubuntu but I want to have current, yet stable, Packages.
[01:12] <MindVirus> Any suggestions?
[01:12] <Purpley1> Suncross, Now in the upper-left corner click Applications>Accessories>Terminal
[01:12] <doneill> zoobox: seems to work for me
[01:12] <Darkedge> Is Ubuntu current, yet, Stable?
[01:12] <iceroot> Darkedge: if you want stable, why you want a testing repo?
[01:12] <kwtm> wow, "aptitude" seems better than "apt-get"!
[01:12] <iceroot> Darkedge: yes
[01:12] <Suncross> Purpley1: done
[01:12] <Darkedge> iceroot: I want current BUT Stable
[01:12] <kLown> im trying to play a video on a web site (flash), I can see the video, but it wont play.  gnash, and flash are both installed, anyone got any ideas?
[01:12] <Darkedge> I don't want Packages from ages ago =P
[01:12] <iceroot> Darkedge: then use ubuntu, if you want old but very very stable, use debian lenny
[01:13] <pjotter> mister_roboto: It says: "Error no display defined"
[01:13] <doneill> zoobox: compizconfig-settings-manager 0.8.2-0ubuntu1
[01:13] <dandaman> everytime i try to watch a movie whether its avi or another format and i go into full screen i get crazy lag in the beginning and sometimes it freezes my computer.
[01:13] <zoobox> doneill: ok, perhaps my version is just too old.
[01:13] <dandaman> anyone know what the problem it?
[01:13] <dandaman> is*
[01:13] <mister_roboto> pjotter: ok, so it's running. just can't connect to your X server. i take it you're ok with that? why would you wanna run FF every minute?  :)
[01:13] <Purpley1> Suncross, in the terminal enter "cd /home/suncross/Desktop/untitled folder/LinuxDrivers/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC" without quotation marks or copy and paste it
[01:13] <MindVirus> I installed newer versions of software from a repository that I have now removed. Is there any way to roll back?
[01:13] <dandaman> this happens with every video playing program
[01:14] <iceroot> MindVirus: you can just rollback to that what is current in the repo
[01:14] <MindVirus> iceroot: how?
[01:14] <iceroot> MindVirus: sudo apt-get install packagename
[01:14] <Darkedge> Ubuntu it is then
[01:14] <mister_roboto> pjotter: if you just want to see something run, try "touch /tmp/myfile"  and you'll see the timestamp update every minute
[01:14] <Purpley1> Suncross,  now type ./install
[01:14] <doneill> zoobox: i'm running karmic
[01:14] <MindVirus> iceroot: Problem is, I don't know what was updated.
[01:15] <Suncross> Purpley1:  For some reason, it stopped at Untitled
[01:15] <Darkedge> Now I hear Ubuntu has a bad theme by default, Can someone suggest one for me? :P
[01:15] <iceroot> MindVirus: updates using ubuntu-repo? then you cant rollback
[01:15] <MindVirus> Sweet.
[01:15] <iceroot> Darkedge: try it yourself
[01:15] <Purpley1> Suncross, My mistake sorry enter this /home/suncross/Desktop/untitled_folder/LinuxDrivers/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC
[01:15] <pjotter> mister_roboto: I just wanted to see  how this "Scheduled Tasks" program works. So I just thought I let a popup an application every minute. I thought of firefox. Do you have a better suggestion? Is there a program that wiul generate a sound or some other thing I can see in Ubuntu?
[01:15] <mister_roboto> pjotter: actually you should assume that the cron job is running with NO environment set up. and you should use full paths to everything.  e.g. /usr/bin/touch /tmp/myfile
[01:16] <Suncross> Purpley1: Ah, ok thank you.
[01:16] <mister_roboto> pjotter: i just told you. just touching a file is a pretty easy thing to do with visible results
[01:16] <Suncross> Purpley1:  It still says that there isnt a folder named that
[01:16] <pjotter> mister_roboto: thanks, Iĺl try that :)
[01:16] <mister_roboto> pjotter: you can use "ls -l /tmp/myfile" to see the timestamp
[01:16] <orenji> I can't patch svgalib, any fix for this? it said inherit: command not found
[01:17] <Darkedge> iceroot: huh? try what myself? the theme? I have tried Ubuntu before, and I think im going back to it :P
[01:17] <Purpley1> Suncross, what does the current terminal line say?
[01:17] <lepr> Darkedge: the one that will work with everything is clearlooks because it is default for gnome.  unfortuneately if you chose something that suits your sense of style then some things will break.
[01:17] <iceroot> Darkedge: try to find a theme yourself of course. everyone is prefering another theme
[01:17] <DaZ_> orenji: how are trying to patch it? :f
[01:18] <Suncross> Purpley1: suncross@suncross-desktop:~$
[01:18] <orenji> I downloaded the patch from gentoo bug
[01:18] <orenji> saved the links with the same names
[01:19] <orenji> and running the patch
[01:19] <Purpley1> Suncross, type cd untitl and then hit tab it should auto complete the name tell me if it works
[01:19] <DaZ_> orenji: the patch from the gentoo site or /usr/bin/patch? :3
[01:19] <iceroot> orenji: ubuntu is not gentoo
[01:19] <orenji> gentoo site
[01:19] <DaZ_> iceroot: so?
[01:19] <DaZ_> sourcecode is the same.
[01:19] <iceroot> DaZ_: sometimes its patched
[01:20] <iceroot> DaZ_: or do you think everythin in ubuntu is the same as in gentoo?
[01:20] <frankely> how can i add an character in a empty key in my keyboard?
[01:20] <Suncross> Purpley1: It does not seem to be working
[01:20] <pjotter> mister_roboto: But touching the file doesn't do anything visible in Ubuntu, or does it?
[01:20] <mister_roboto> pjotter: it changes the timestamp, as i said. which is a visible effect
[01:20] <Suncross> Purpley1: I am typing "cd /home/suncross/Desktop/untitled_folder/LinuxDrivers/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC"
[01:21] <DaZ_> iceroot: it isn't? <:
[01:21] <orenji> frankely: maybe you can try different keyboard layout
[01:21] <orenji> ?
[01:21] <iceroot> DaZ_: of course it isnt
[01:21] <mister_roboto> pjotter: if you "ls -l /tmp/myfile" you can see the timestamp on the file changing to the latest time
[01:21] <frankely> i mean, is not a key that is in my keyboard
[01:21] <DaZ_> why? <:
[01:21] <pjotter> mister_roboto: Ok, now I understand. Sorry Iḿ just a newbie in Ubuntu. Have to learn everything...
[01:21] <iceroot> DaZ_: for e.g. look at origignal gnome and ubuntu-gnome
[01:21] <Purpley1> Suncross, go to places on your computer, then go to Desktop, then Change the folder untitled folder to untitled
[01:21] <iceroot> DaZ_: ubuntu gnome is so much patched
[01:21] <mister_roboto> pjotter: we all started there once :)
[01:21] <frankely> i wanna add this "¬" in the windows key
[01:22] <orenji> frankely: you want to type it without accessing the char map?
[01:22] <iceroot> DaZ_: also ubuntu/debian sometimes using other parts then the original code
[01:22] <pjotter> mister_roboto: I'll just check the timestamp of that file... see if it changes every minute :)
[01:22] <frankely> yes
[01:22] <iceroot> DaZ_: also there are sometimes difference in ubuntu and debian paths
[01:22] <mister_roboto> pjotter: it will. as long as you don't have a typo in your command :)
[01:22] <frankely> orenji, that is what i need
[01:22] <Suncross> Purpley1: ok
[01:22] <doneill> well, --reinstall doesn't reinstall the pulse audio configs, nor does dpkg-reconfigure pulseaudio.  i think i'm boned.
[01:23] <doneill> actually i suppose i could dpkg -x the configs
[01:23] <pjotter> mister_roboto: Don  worry I tried the full command in a terminal first, and it worked
[01:23] <howdeep> Hello. I'm attempting to do a network install of ubuntu as per these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet    i need help with step 3, what is a wrapper?
[01:23] <Purpley1> Suncross, cd /home/suncross/Desktop/untitled/LinuxDrivers/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC
[01:23] <mister_roboto> pjotter: while true; do ls -l /tmp/myfile; sleep 10; done
[01:23] <orenji> frankely: sorry, as far as I know, windows char map has shortcut, but only shortcut, I dunno for ubuntu charmap
[01:23] <mister_roboto> pjotter: you can run that in your terminal to show it every 10 seconds
[01:24] <Wavesonics> do swap partitions need to be upgraded to ext4? no right? how about boot partition?
[01:24] <Suncross> Purpley1: Still no go :/
[01:24] <iceroot> mister_roboto: pjotter sounds like the same what "watch" is doing
[01:24] <doneill> howdeep: that's just a script.
[01:24] <pjotter> mister_roboto: O great :)
[01:24] <Arimoto> I'm getting an error that "Package php5-suhosin is not available", any ideas?
[01:24] <DaZ_> Wavesonics: swap isn't ext partition.
[01:24] <Purpley1> Suncross,  ok extract it to your desktop
[01:24] <Wavesonics> thx DaZ_ how about boot?
[01:24] <howdeep> doneill,  super noob here.....what do i do with it?
[01:24] <Arimoto> running a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10
[01:25] <Suncross> Purpley1: ok done
[01:25] <flipzagging> I'm using a netbook with 9.10. How do I convince apt-get to load packages from the USB stick, not /cdrom ? I assume this involves fixing sources.list
[01:25] <DaZ_> Wavesonics: leave it as it is, ext4 on /boot results in problems with grub1
[01:25] <doneill> howdeep: you paste it into a file, then make it executible with: chmod +x myscript.sh
[01:25] <Wavesonics> DaZ_ i upgraded to Grub2
[01:25] <mister_roboto> iceroot: he just wants to see cron work so i had him just touch a file in his crontab. quick, easy and visible
[01:25] <BeZerk> wm 5
[01:25] <doneill> howdeep: then run it, ./myscript.sh Start
[01:25] <DaZ_> Wavesonics: still there's no gain from changing it to ext4 [;
[01:25] <iceroot> mister_roboto: ok dindt read all
[01:25] <Purpley1> Suncross, What is it named?
[01:26] <Dr_Willis> mister_roboto:  you may want to check out the 'watch' command  '  ie: -->   'watch ls -l /path/to/file'
[01:26] <Suncross> Purpley1: LinuxDrivers but should I extract the stuff in Audio again right?
[01:26] <doneill> howdeep: but this page looks pretty cool.  are you a network admin?
[01:26] <mister_roboto> Dr_Willis: i keep forgetting about that :)   so used to doing it manually forever
[01:26] <orenji> so, I'm sorry... how to do the patch and compile the source? the original one has some errors on it
[01:26] <DaZ_> but you can do that of course..
[01:26] <Arimoto> nevermind, universe is disabled for some reason
[01:27] <doneill> orenji, what are you patching?
[01:27] <howdeep> doneill, no, trying to install ubuntu on an older machine that won't boot from usb
[01:27] <mister_roboto> Dr_Willis: i've worked on so many unixes that i just learn the portable set of stuff that works everywhere
[01:27] <orenji> svgalib
[01:27] <howdeep> doneill, do you know an easier way?
[01:27] <Guest4551> Ohay thar.
[01:27] <junky> anyone know if a packager has brook packaged for 9.10 ?
[01:27] <Suncross> Purpley1: Ok it is all extracted.
[01:28] <DesuDesuDesu> Why is this nick registered?
[01:28] <orenji> nandesuka?
[01:28] <DesuDesuDesu> harro
[01:28] <DesuDesuDesu> saru desu
[01:28] <orenji> saa~~
[01:28] <doneill> howdeep: i'm sorta lazy, i would probably just take the hard disc out, put it into a system with a cdrom and install it to the hard disc, then put the hard disc back.
[01:28] <DesuDesuDesu> saruchansaruchan
[01:28] <pjotter> mister_roboto: Hurray!!! It works :)
[01:28] <mister_roboto> pjotter: ok, you're on your way now!
[01:28] <howdeep> doneill, i should probably do that....but this is kind of a learning experience
[01:28] <doneill> orenji could you PM me the patch and such?
[01:29] <howdeep> doneill, i could also just find a dvd drive that works...
[01:29] <pjotter> mister_roboto: Feel like Iǘe really accomplished something :) It may not be much.. but to me it's great. Thanks for your help.
[01:29] <orenji> emm... let me se... it's hard to copy paste since I'm totally on terminal
[01:29] <Purpley1> Suncross, What is the directory you extracted it in?
[01:29] <doneill> howdeep: i hear ya.  well, this document doesn't really explain to you what is happening, just spoon feeding instructions...
[01:29] <mister_roboto> pjotter: every step forward in learning is a good thing, even if small.  :)
[01:29] <Suncross> Purpley1: '/home/suncross/Desktop/LinuxDrivers/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC3'
[01:30] <doneill> howdeep: basically you'll be booting linux from data provided to the client PC via the network bootrom.  so basically you need to set-up and environment from which the bootrom can coordinate network configuration and of course a repository from where the files it receives will come from on your server.
[01:30] <pjotter> mister_roboto: One question: How do I stop the script in the terminal?
[01:30] <orenji> bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=176440
[01:30] <mister_roboto> pjotter: oh, just <ctrl>-c out of it
[01:30] <Purpley1> Suncross, Do you see the install file?
[01:30] <Wavesonics> upgrading FS while drinking, why did i do both @ the same time
[01:31] <Suncross> yes
[01:31] <pjotter> mister_roboto: Whoops.. Ctrl-c.. that one was easy. Thgought I had pressed it. :S
[01:31] <orenji> another one
[01:31] <orenji> bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=177228
[01:31] <howdeep> doneill, i see
[01:31] <doneill> howdeep: this bootpd is a boostrapping daemon.  basically, it will set up the client netboot rom to receive the files, and tell it where/how to get them.  the wrapper script is unnecessary for a one-time installation though, this script would be used for a person installing ubuntu many times over a period of days, weeks, or months.
[01:32] <doneill> howdeep: if i were you i'd just open a terminal and type: sudo bootpd -d 4 -c /var/lib/tftpboot
[01:32] <jeromel> hi
[01:32] <Suncross> Purpley1: Yes
[01:32] <subspider> hi
[01:32] <howdeep> doneill, i'll try that.......also noob question: what is a daemon?
[01:32] <DesuDesuDesu> lol i just got servbanned from another server is this win?
[01:32] <Wavesonics> howdeep, it's a process that runs in the backroung
[01:33] <doneill> howdeep: you have asked a sordid question with a million answers, all of which WRONG depending on who answers.  basically, it's the linux equivelant of a Windows Service.
[01:33] <mister_roboto> WRONG!
[01:33] <mister_roboto> hehe
[01:33] <doneill> ^- ty
[01:33] <orenji> DesuDesuDesu: ask your ubuntu question and wait
[01:33] <subspider> i download americans army file to install it's already installed  but it gives me these error armyops
[01:33] <subspider> ./armyops-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[01:33] <DesuDesuDesu> Oh, I have to ask an ubuntu question?
[01:33] <DesuDesuDesu> I thought this was general chat.
[01:33] <DaZ_> !find libstdc++.so.5
[01:33] <Purpley1> Suncross, right click on install, go to propertites and go to permissions and click allow file executing as program
[01:33] <joel_> Åh vad fint det är med dualboot
[01:33] <howdeep> doneill, okay. i understand. all my experience is with windows so i can relate to that pretty well
[01:33] <Dr_Willis> subspider:  im not sure if that game has been updated to work with the newer linux disrtos in some time.
[01:34] <howdeep> doneill,  just installed this about a week ago, still learning the ropes
[01:34] <Suncross> Purpley1: Done.
[01:34] <jcc1> howdeep:  daemon: A program or process that sits idly in the background until it is invoked to perform its task, for example, the apache webserver runs as a daemon
[01:34] <mister_roboto> howdeep: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_%28computer_software%29
[01:34] <subspider> i download the file from there
[01:35] <subspider> Dr_Willis, do you know if theres a channel were i can talk to americans army people
[01:35] <Purpley1> Suncross, now double click on install and hit "run"
[01:35] <jeromel> someone can someone can tell me where can i find the moduels ?
[01:35] <jeromel> modules*
[01:36] <jcc1> subspider: there are lots, I'm a vet Army person, but it would probably be off-topic here :-)
[01:36] <Suncross> Prupley1: Ok I did that.  Nothing seemed to pop up after though.  It didnt even ask me for my password or anything.
[01:36] <mister_roboto> jcc1: he probably means the game :)
[01:36] <jcc1> :-)
[01:36] <jeromel> I compiled one module but when I try modprobe, the computer tell me that it does not exist, what do i need to do ?
[01:36] <jcc1> either way, off-topic here
[01:37] <mister_roboto> true
[01:37] <junky> jeromel: dont forget the make install at the end
[01:37] <doneill> subspider: are you running ubuntu 32-bit or 64-bit?
[01:37] <jeromel> yes i did it
[01:37] <pjotter> mister_roboto: But why can't Scheduled Tasks run firefox? What is the problem with that? Can it only run non-GUI-like apps?
[01:37] <subspider> 64 bit
[01:37] <jeromel> i did all the entries on the make to be sure..
[01:37] <jeromel> lol
[01:38] <DaZ_> pjotter: maybe you have to specify display.
[01:38] <junky> jeromel: copy the file .ko manually?
[01:38] <jeromel> it is not a .ko
[01:38] <subspider> doneill, 64 bits
[01:38] <jeromel> oh ues i have a .ko
[01:38] <pjotter> DaZ_: You mean add some arguments to the firefox command or something?
[01:38] <jeromel> junky,  where do i need to place it?
[01:39] <mister_roboto> pjotter: it could run gui stuff too if it can get a connection to the X server. there are many problems with that related to being authorized to connect. also, it's generally not something you want a background job to be doing. cron is more for maintenance type stuff that you want to run in the background on a schedule
[01:39] <DaZ_> pjotter: yes [;
[01:39] <R[a]ndom> Hey does anyone know of a good guide for getting VDPAU to work properly on Karmic with mplayer?  Ive been playing with this for hours with little success.
[01:39] <doneill> subspider: then you could snurgle it, but it would take some fiddling
[01:39] <subspider> jcc1, can you tell me the channels
[01:39] <mead> ok, I've got ubuntu running and I want to connect to my wireless AP, do I really need to enter a BSSID/mac address of the access point?
[01:39] <doneill> R[a]ndom: i use vadpau, but i didn't use a guide
[01:39] <Suncross> purpley1: What should I do now?
[01:39] <mister_roboto> pjotter: in fact, your gui program *was* running, just not connecting to the X server :)
[01:39] <junky> jeromel: whats the kernel module you're trying to use?
[01:39] <jeromel> bluetooth
[01:39] <pjotter> mister_roboto: ok! :)
[01:40] <jeromel> I think I have found
[01:40] <jcc1> pjotter: it probably can, but what is the point? usually gui programs are designed for human input/output so it is assumed the the human will start it. cron/sched tasks was designed for things that only need to run once, in the background with no human interaction
[01:40] <R[a]ndom> doneill, you're using both the output plugin and the codec?  (the -vo and the -vc?)
[01:40] <Purpley1> Suncross,  Describe to me what happened, I can't run it
[01:40] <subspider> doneill, i know if i use wine it work but its emulated so actually it's not so smooth playing
[01:40] <R[a]ndom> doneill, on my install the vdpau video codecs arent installed
[01:40] <jeromel> is there /lib/modules/uname -r/kernel/drivers/bluetooth ?
[01:40] <pjotter> mister_roboto: So now I have about 100+ instances of firefox running on my computer?
[01:40] <doneill> R[a]ndom: i dunno, it has always "just worked" for me.  let me try again...
[01:40] <mister_roboto> pjotter: no. it "ran" but just failed at startup
[01:41] <Suncross> Purpley1:  I clicked on install, and it asked me if I wanted to run it, run it in a terminal, or close, and I chose run like you told me.  After that, nothing happened.
[01:41] <Grieg> hello. i have a flashplugin problem. when i try to watch video on youtube i can only hear sound, but not see video
[01:41] <R[a]ndom> doneill, thanks. cause it seemed to 'just work' for me too, except my processor usage didn't drop like it should.  You should get under 10% usage with 1080P files from what ive read
[01:41] <pjotter> jcc1: You're right. That is true. I just wanted to test it, so I thought of something visable, like an app opening.
[01:41] <doneill> r[a]ndom: looks like i can't help you: mplayer: symbol lookup error: mplayer: undefined symbol: codec_wav_tags
[01:41] <R[a]ndom> hehe
[01:41] <doneill> Yet another Karmic bug (tm).
[01:42] <R[a]ndom> maybe I'll start a forum thread
[01:42] <Purpley1> Suncross, Ok in your terminal cd /home/suncross/Desktop/LinuxDrivers/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC3
[01:42] <doneill> r[a]ndom: actually, check out the mythtv wiki
[01:42] <snake> off topic comment: I was having a dream last night, iwas doing some binary coding stuff(even though i dont know binary)i was just like<PHONE_NUMBER>010111...2!Thats when i woke up... horifying isnt it
[01:42] <Suncross> Purpley1: Ok I am there.
[01:42] <doneill> r[a]ndom: they use VDPAU a lot, and i'm sure i saw a section for mplayer playback with it.
[01:42] <jcc1> pjotter: the app, to test best would be something like "mail", a gui would require the -display switch so it would know where to run. Firefox knows because it was invoked from X, not cron
[01:42] <jeromel> junky,  on my laptop i have a "driver" folder but not on the computer i try to install the module ?
[01:43] <R[a]ndom> doneill, yeah thanks. i have been browsing some of their stuff.  Sadly a lot of it seems to apply only to mythtv itself and not standalone mplayer.  though perhaps i just dont understand the relation
[01:43] <Purpley1> Suncross, type ./install.sh
[01:43] <jeromel> junky,  oh no my mistake,
[01:43] <mister_roboto> jcc1: we went an even lighter-weight approach and just touch'd a file every minute and then checked the timestamp
[01:44] <jcc1> mister_roboto: good example, too, and probably quicker for a newbie
[01:44] <doneill> r[a]ndom: the mythtv video playback system uses mplayer though, and in the setup you specify parameters
[01:44] <Suncross> purpley1: It said "bash: ./install.sh: No such file or directory"
[01:44] <jeromel> junky,  the .ko is in this place : /lib/modules/2.6.31-16-generic/kernel/drivers/bluetooth
[01:44] <Xfact> hey
[01:44] <Suncross> Purpley1: However, I am infact in its directory.
[01:45] <Umeaboy> Hi!
[01:45] <Purpley1> Suncross, type ./install
[01:45] <Suncross> Purply1: ah ok there it goes
[01:45] <pjotter> jcc1: I completely understand now. Thanks for explaining.
[01:45] <jcc1> Suncross: you need the . before the slash
[01:45] <Xfact> can I do fresh install in same partition of my old ubuntu hardy, without reformatting?
[01:45] <edthix> can any1 tell my why after setting AllowOverride All in all apache conf, .htaccess still wont work?
[01:46] <f1lt3r> Are there any audio problems with Karmic I should know about as a developer?
[01:46] <Suncross> Purpley1, Ok it says I need to reboot to activate driver.
[01:46] <doneill> f1lt3r: just one, pulseaudio
[01:46] <pjotter> Ok. Thanks a lot , people. I really need some sleep now. See you.
[01:46] <f1lt3r> whats the beef doneill ?
[01:46] <jcc1> pjotter: no prob
[01:46] <Suncross> Purpley1, I am going to be right back
[01:46] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  i think the installer will want you to format.. I woudent avise reinstalling without reformating
[01:46] <ctmjr> R[a]ndom: if you want to find out if you have mplayer with vdpau just run this in a terminal mplayer -vo help it list the codecs if you see vdpau your good to go
[01:46] <Purpley1> Suncross, OK
[01:46] <doneill> f1lt3r: well, pulseaudio rarely works.
[01:46] <DaZ_> Xfact: you can try only removing files, should work [;
[01:46] <doneill> f1lt3r: or only runs for 10 minutes, then locks up.  depending on platform.
[01:46] <f1lt3r> ok
[01:46] <R[a]ndom> ctmjr, i have the vdpau -vo but not the neccessary -vc
[01:46] <R[a]ndom> ctmjr, so its only using it for displaying, not decoding
[01:46] <f1lt3r> i disabled it in x11 anyway, but i'm having problems getting firefox audio to work
[01:47] <Xfact> DaZ_: yes...I want to remove...and want to reinstall the newer version
[01:47] <doneill> f1lt3r: yep, i have something of a hate on for pulse.  and avahi, but mostly pulse.
[01:47] <DaZ_> Xfact: rm ? [;
[01:47] <Xfact> :)
[01:48] <DaZ_> Xfact: it's easier to split /home from / and reformat it whenever you want.
[01:48] <tim_> Hi can anyone possibly help me figure out why Ubuntu can see my printer but the Forward button in System > Admin > Printing is still grayed out?
[01:48] <Xfact> 'Home' is the most important folder of whole Ubuntu?
[01:48] <DaZ_> Xfact: userfiles?
[01:49] <Xfact> ohh...
[01:49] <Umeaboy> What's the counterpart for drakconf called in Ubuntu?
[01:49] <yassine> how to start ubuntu without gdm i did update-rc.d gdm remove but still my os is starting x server. any idea?
[01:49] <jcc1> Xfact: /boot and /bin are kinda important, too, not to mention /sbin , /etc, etc :[)
[01:50] <ctmjr> R[a]ndom: did you try all of them? ffmpeg12vdpau, ffwmv3vdpau, ffvc1vdpau or ffh264vdpau and you can look in man mplayer /vdpau
[01:50] <Xfact> Today I am 1 week old in Linux, so till not felling an expert.... :-/
[01:50] <Xfact> *still
[01:50] <Phelashio> put the cd in the drive, turn t he computer off, then turn it back on, when you see the 1st gui screen, hit f12 over and over again with great force-really pound it
[01:50] <R[a]ndom> ctmjr, none of those are options
[01:50] <Xfact> *feeling
[01:50] <jcc1> Xfact: you will be
[01:50] <danny> dose ne one know witch ubuntu dist is best for gameing with nvidia ge force 9500gt
[01:50] <iflema> Umeaboy: basically everything under System...
[01:50] <DaZ_> or you will not [;
[01:50] <jcc1> :-)
[01:50] <ctmjr> R[a]ndom: what nvidia card do you have?
[01:50] <iflema> Umeaboy: there is a unoified icon somewhere
[01:51] <R[a]ndom> ctmjr, 210
[01:51] <Xfact> jcc1: as my speed of learning, and linux is interesting, I guess, within 1month I will be a middle class user... :)
[01:51] <Phelashio> yes, tap f12 like it was the last thing you'll ever do!
[01:51] <Umeaboy> iflema: I beg you pardon?
[01:51] <R[a]ndom> supports feature set C so its fine ctmjr
[01:51] <Xfact> well....
[01:51] <jcc1> DaZ_: I know I'm not, and I've been using it since 1996
[01:51] <Umeaboy> Has anyone here got experience using svn?
[01:52] <mister_roboto> Umeaboy: yes
[01:52] <Umeaboy> mister_roboto: Okey.
[01:52] <fauxreigner> Umeaboy: a little, what are you trying to do?
[01:52] <Umeaboy> I'm quite lost now.
[01:52] <iflema> Umeaboy: right click on the application menu icon, select menus..... left pane click system and check the control centre thingy
[01:52] <mister_roboto> Umeaboy: I've used it extensively for about 6 years :)
[01:52] <DaZ_> jcc1: i wasn't talking about you <:
[01:52] <ctmjr> R[a]ndom: i see you did your homework, #mplayer has a channel if the right people are there they are a lot of help
[01:53] <Umeaboy> I'm currently in Mandriva & the people in #mandriva is asleep so therefor I'll ask here to see if someone can help me.
[01:53] <mister_roboto> Umeaboy: ask your question
[01:53] <Umeaboy> I HAVE got Ubuntu installed to.
[01:53] <jcc1> DaZ_: I know... :-)
[01:53] <iflema> Umeaboy: right click on the application menu icon, select menus..... left pane click system and check the control centre thingy
[01:53] <R[a]ndom> ctmjr, good call. I'll try there. thanks man.
[01:53] <danny> dose ne one know witch ubuntu dist is best for gameing with nvidia ge force 9500gt
[01:53] <blakkheim> danny: they will all be the same
[01:53] <Dr_Willis> danny:  it dosent matter.
[01:53] <DaZ_> Umeaboy: if it's not mandriva-specific you can ask it imo
[01:53] <ctmjr> R[a]ndom: i never had a issue with it so no trouble shooting skills and your welcome
[01:53] <mead> mandriva linux, aka mandrake, also known as the newbie's linux before knoppix or ubuntu came out
[01:54] <jcc1> I was just commenting that it is an ongoing learning experience with every iteration and every distro and every upgrade
[01:54] <fauxreigner> Random question here - does anyone know how I can add a shell script to my applications menu?
[01:54] <scunizi> danny: won't make a difference.. just make sure you're using the nvidia drivers provided
[01:54] <Umeaboy> Well it kind of IS, but as I said......the Mandriva-people are asleep.
[01:54] <lazyPower> fauxreigner, put it in a .sh file, make a launcher for it, and then add it via Edit Menu's
[01:54] <danny> scunizi, how do i get my drivers working properly then?
[01:54] <jcc1> fauxreigner: System -> Preferences -> Menu
[01:54] <culinor> if /home is installed on another partition can you keep it untouched when installing a fresh copy of ubuntu?
[01:54] <fauxreigner> lazyPower, I've made my .sh file.  How do I make a launcher for it?
[01:55] <jcc1> Main Menu, I mean
[01:55] <DaZ_> Umeaboy: you can still try, but the chances for an answer are slim :3
[01:55] <Umeaboy> I'm trying to find the newest dev-version of Drakxtools so that I can fetch the document & continue translateing it so I won't translate what's already been translated.
[01:55] <Ricket> is there a good web-based music playing system for ubuntu server?
[01:55] <lazyPower> fauxreigner, theres an option on the edit menu screen. System -> Preferences -> Menu
[01:55] <Umeaboy> Do you understand me?
[01:55] <scunizi> danny: System>Admin>hardware drivers and enable the recommended nvidia driver showing there.. it will require a reboot after.. if you enable the "effects" like the cube etc.. you might have issues with some games.
[01:55] <blakkheim> Ricket: mpd
[01:55] <Umeaboy> In the svn.mandriva.com
[01:55] <fauxreigner> lazypower + jcc1, thanks guys, I think I've got it now
[01:55] <Umeaboy> I have looked ther, but I'm lost.
[01:55] <Umeaboy> there
[01:56] <mister_roboto> Umeaboy: so you're trying to figure out how to get a copy out of their svn?
[01:56] <Umeaboy> Yes.
[01:56] <scorch__> hello
[01:56] <mister_roboto> Umeaboy: do you have the subversion client already installed?
[01:56] <scorch__> Linux scorch-laptop 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:05:01 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[01:56] <Umeaboy> They've got a git as well.
[01:56] <scorch__> 16 freezes on start up
[01:56] <Wavesonics> i did a “touch /forcefsck" how can I undo it?
[01:56] <Suncross> Purpley1: Hey are you still there?  I rebooted and I still have no sound :/
[01:56] <Wavesonics> so it won't check on boot
[01:56] <Umeaboy> mister_roboto: Could we take it in PM?
[01:56] <Purpley1> Hmm
[01:56] <mister_roboto> Umeaboy: sure, pm me
[01:56] <Umeaboy> It's a lot of text here.
[01:56] <jcc1> Wavesonics: rm /forcefsck
[01:57] <scorch__> Ubuntu is freezing on me during startup, Karmic
[01:57] <Wavesonics> ah great thx
[01:57] <DaZ_> Umeaboy: if you're planning on pasting this text, use pastebin :3
[01:57] <Purpley1> Suncross, You'd better wait for someone to respond in the forums that is as much as I'm able to go without doing something dangerous
[01:57] <scunizi> Ricket: several.. open System>Admin>Synaptic Package Manager and search for "sound server" or server.. XMBC (I think it's called) will act as a sound server, media server, video server etc.
[01:57] <danny> scunizi, when trying to install the reccomended driver it says "SystemError: installArchives() failed"
[01:57] <Umeaboy> DaZ_: Huh?
[01:57] <scorch__> I have had its installed for about a week with no problems until now
[01:57] <DaZ_> ? >:
[01:57] <Umeaboy> You mean when I've translated it?
[01:57] <Ricket> scunizi: ubuntu server doesn't have a system>admin>synaptic :)
[01:57] <protojay> #winehq
[01:57] <Suncross> Purpley1: Ok
[01:57] <howdeep> what is the command to mount a network share from an xp machine on my network?
[01:57] <scunizi> Ricket: ah.. server.. use aptitude
[01:58] <Ricket> scunizi: ooo but thanks for reminding me about XBMC!! i should definitely check that one out
[01:58] <scunizi> danny: have you done all your updates yet?
[01:58] <gamer> hallo?
[01:58] <Suncross> Purpley1: But what do you mean dangerous?  Like hardware or software damage?
[01:58] <lazyPower> howdeep, sudo apt-get install smbfs, mount -t smbfs path://to/share
[01:58] <jcc1> howdeep: smbmount, see the man page
[01:58] <danny> scunizi, thrugh update manager yes
[01:58] <scunizi> Ricket: it's gui based though.. you can add the gui to server with sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[01:58] <scorch__> Ubuntu is freezing on me during startup, Karmic
[01:58] <scorch__> I have had its installed for about a week with no problems until now
[01:58] <blakkheim> !repeat | scorch__
[01:59] <scunizi> danny: what's your card again?
[01:59] <Purpley1> Suncross, Both, Im not an expert with linux, I wouldn't want to mess up your computer
[01:59] <danny> scunizi, geforce 9500gt
[02:00] <Suncross> Purpley1: Ok, well thank you for your help.  At least I got the drivers :D
[02:00] <Suncross> Purpley1: Ah ok.  Well like I said, thanks a million.
[02:00] <scunizi> danny: strange.. in terminal you might try sudo apt-get -f install .. and see if it fixes some dependancies.. dinner now. gotta go.
[02:01] <Xfact> .
[02:01] <_Tavo_> hello, my intel based laptop won't suspend or hibernate since (I Think) I configured the power saving settings through the gnome-power-preferences dialog. Any ideas?
[02:02] <Purpley1> Suncross, Anytime, your welcome :)
[02:02] <_Tavo_> Or how can I reset the system-wide settings and user settings?
[02:03] <scorch__> My computer will boot with  2.6.31-14-generic  but not 16?!
[02:03] <aprilhare> lucky you
[02:03] <skizza> Hello. Anyone interested in unmetered hosting?
[02:03] <aprilhare> guess you'll have to depend on 14 for now scorch
[02:03] <blakkheim> !ot  | skizza
[02:05] <scorch__> aprilhare: ok but 16 was working up until today.  now it feezes
[02:05] <Wavesonics> I upgraded to Grub2, and my main partition to ext4, should I upgrade my /boot to ext4?
[02:05] <Xfact> Ubuntu hardy doesn't support flash player 10 series....9 series is the maximum.... :(
[02:05] <blakkheim> Wavesonics: you don't really need to but you can
[02:06] <Wavesonics> hhmm... how can I do the fsck to finish it off...
[02:06] <jcc1> _Tavo_: I would search Google "suspend laptops with linux" for example, http://www.advogato.org/article/913.html a lot depends on BIOS and other issues
[02:06] <Wavesonics> can i just unmount /boot and do it?
[02:06] <Suncross> Hey, does anyone know what PCM is in alsamixer?
[02:06] <jcc1> _Tavo_: or suspend laptops with Ubuntu, for example
[02:06] <DaZ_> Xfact: lolwut?
[02:06] <Fog> i have ubuntu 9.10 running on both a laptop and a netbook on my desk right now. the laptop's internet is at 92% capacity and the netbook is only at 67%. what gives?
[02:07] <lexus> ok però quando reinstallo gli header nn va avanti
[02:07] <_Tavo_> jcc1: but It worked before I touched those settings
[02:07] <lexus> di rimane un >
[02:07] <lexus> nella shell e resta fermo
[02:07] <musicalgenius> i just installed my nvidia n9400gt graphics card driver and i cant get dual monitors to work, its just changing my resolution to 2048x768
[02:07] <Xfact> DaZ-: Flash player 10 series is 'unsupported' in Ubuntu hardy! (maximum 9...)
[02:07] <DaZ_> Xfact: if it's not packaged doesn't mean it's not supported
[02:07] <losha> !it | lexus
[02:07] <DaZ_> Xfact: download it and install manually [;
[02:07] <lexus> sorry ;)
[02:08] <jcc1> _Tavo_: the change 'em back :-) and if you already have, then I would check the forums at Ubuntu muself
[02:08] <Xfact> DaZ_: but it's not playing sounds....taking to much ram...and lots of problems...it's doing...
[02:08] <musicalgenius> i have both monitors hooked up, and its making me use the nvidia settings manager instead of the display manager
[02:08] <DaZ_> eh :]
[02:08] <_Tavo_> jcc1. I just did many times and it's the same...
[02:08] <Xfact> DaZ_: well, Flash player 9 is the recommended version from Hardy distro....
[02:09] <jcc1> _Tavo_: I can't help you myself, wish I could, I never suspend/hibernate mine
[02:11] <_Tavo_> Does anyone know where the gnome-power-preferences dialog saves the system-wide settings?
[02:11] <musicalgenius> anybody wanna help me figure out why my graphics card is being gay lol
[02:14] <jcc1> .
[02:14] <jeffwheeler> I'm trying to debug problems wrt restoring from sleep/hibernate, and I think it's related to the graphics (-intel) driver.
[02:14] <jeffwheeler> I can't figure out how to tell whether it's running as i810 or another version, though
[02:15] <jeffwheeler> I think it may be i915; is there any way to tell?
[02:15] <musicalgenius> nvm got it i think
[02:15] <jcc1> jeffwheeler: how about lsmod from a terminal?
[02:15] <jeffwheeler> jcc1: oh, of course; indeed, it is i915
[02:15] <jeffwheeler> jcc1: thanks; now to figure out the problem :)
[02:16] <Lucifero> What do u display with this command runned on root: echo -ne "\033_${USER}"  ?thanks.
[02:16] <jcc1> jeffwheeler: np prob
[02:19] <jeffwheeler> Looks like a similar issue is documented elsewhere: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13651 and http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261112
[02:19] <nflava> how do i setup samba so that other pcs on my network can see the contents of a shared folder  that i have on my 2nd harddrive, right now i can see the shared folders but i can not access them
[02:19] <nozes> Feliz Ano Novo
[02:19] <phirestalker> How do you find out what FILE that firefox is using for a plugin?
[02:19] <Lucifero> Can anyone execute in terminal this command runned on root: echo -ne "\033_${USER}"  ?thanks.
[02:20] <mhall119> Lucifero, why?
[02:20] <jeffwheeler> Lucifero: what is it supposed to do?
[02:20] <mhall119> Lucifero, it's generally a bad idea to execute arbitrary shell commands as root without knowing what they do
[02:20] <Lucifero>  mhall119 ohhh
[02:20] <Lucifero> it just display ur current user,as u should know konowing bash scripting
[02:21] <Dr_Willis> echos an escape sequence then prints teh value of the variable USER it seems like.
[02:21] <Dr_Willis> now why you need someone to run it.. is the question
[02:21] <mhall119> Lucifero, not, it doesn't exactly, does it?
[02:21] <Lucifero> Dr_Willis: why here, running as root, he display my normal username
[02:22] <Dr_Willis> Lucifero:  how did you become 'root'
[02:22] <jcc1> Lucifero: it depends on how you gained the root terminal
[02:22] <Dr_Willis> echo $USER would sufice to see...
[02:22] <jcc1> Dr_Willis: but that is the easy way :-)
[02:22] <karim__> hi
[02:23] <karim__> what script should I use to run a command only once at boot ?
[02:23] <Lucifero> Dr_Willis: yeah echo $USER  is enough
[02:23] <Dr_Willis> karim__:  /etc/rc.local gets ran at boot time.
[02:23] <jcc1> Lucifero: rc.local
[02:23] <Dr_Willis> karim__:  if you mean at BOOTUP not user LOGIN
[02:23] <jcc1> whoops, I meant karim
[02:23] <joshua___> you know what's silly, running stty on /dev/null
[02:23] <Lucifero> jcc1: what do u mean?
[02:24] <mhall119> \033 is ESC
[02:24] <phirestalker> how do you find out what .so file is being loaded to provide a plugin in firefox? I went to add-ons and the only option there is disable.
[02:24] <jcc1> Lucifero I meant the other user and accidentially typed your name
[02:24] <joshua___> phirestalker: a good guess usually suffices
[02:24] <phirestalker> joshua
[02:24] <phirestalker> oop
[02:25] <MindVirus> I updated a package that I already had with a PPA. I removed the PPA; now I want to roll back all packages I upgraded that now don't exist. Does anyone know how to do this?
[02:25] <jcc1> Lucifero: unless you are replying to my "depends on how you gained root statement
[02:25] <adam83> hello
[02:25] <mhall119> \033_${USER} is equivilent to \_${USER}
[02:25] <mhall119> phirestalker, try about:plugins
[02:25] <optimizer> what are sun glasses that completely block vision called? (like just 2 black pieces of plastic that doesn't let light through_
[02:25] <phirestalker> joshua___, yes except I don't want to delete files arbitrarily, I have uninstalled all things flash in the package manager but I can still see flash
[02:26] <Lucifero> jcc1: im just running superuser (not sudo) within urxvt terminal.echo user display my normal user instead of root.that's the deal
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> Lucifero:  'running super user' how exactly?
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> Lucifero:  you logged into X as your user... you ran rxvt... then did what?
[02:26] <phirestalker> mhall119, thanks I thought it was something simple I had forgotten :)
[02:27] <Lucifero> Dr_Willis: su - as usual
[02:27] <adam83> when someone has time, I just mounted my second harddrive, unfortunately I am not the owner, root is, and I would like to change that so I can add and edit files (I want this harddrive to be storage for two macbooks on my home network
[02:27] <Dr_Willis> Lucifero:   So you created a root user password..    shame shame,.  :)
[02:27] <MindVirus> Any suggestions?
[02:27] <Sonja> is it generally possible to install ubuntu on a mac laptop?
[02:27] <Nyoron> What's the bash command to mount a hard drive?
[02:27] <blakkheim> Nyoron: mount
[02:27] <Dr_Willis> you did not login as root..  the su - still has some of the users enviroment variables set.
[02:27] <Nyoron> blakkheim: solid, thanks
[02:28] <Dr_Willis> Lucifero:  see the  '-l' or '---login' option for su    perhaps to get it to work the way you think it shoudl be working
[02:28] <joshua___> it will match *flash*
[02:28] <Lucifero> Dr_Willis: rootless system r morons ! btw I found the problem.su need just an option
[02:28] <Dr_Willis> Lucifero:  whatever...
[02:29] <MindVirus> I updated a package that I already had with a PPA. I removed the PPA; now I want to roll back all packages I upgraded that now don't exist. Does anyone know how to do this?
[02:29] <jcc1> Lucifero: rootless systems are "safe" when only used as a desktop, not moronic, it protects the system
[02:29] <jette> need help trying to get mums monitor working
[02:29] <Nyoron> blakkheim: Now how do I see what my hard drives are named, so I can mount them?
[02:29] <Dr_Willis> jcc1:  save your breath. :)
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> !mount | Nyoron
[02:30] <mhall119> "rootless systems r morons" is fitting for a tombstone
[02:30] <jette> have kubuntu 9.10 with nvidia fx5500 video card running 1360x768 but the screen is to big for the display
[02:30] <adam83> Dr_Willis would you mind assisting me if you can
[02:30] <blakkheim> Nyoron: fdisk -l
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> adam83:  and teh issue is?
[02:30] <joshua___> the heck they are
[02:30] <Nyoron> blakkheim: thanks
[02:30] <jcc1> mhall119: not to mention that it is not a "rootless sytem" it just protects the root user and system
[02:30] <Schiz0> Hi. A user is logged on to the desktop and using gnome. I'm logged in via SSH. I'd like to send a notifcation via `notify-send`, however, it's not working because the SSH session doesn't have the same DISPLAY var as the GUI desktop session. How can I fix this?
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> Schiz0:  when you ssh in ; use 'ssh -X'
[02:31] <Nyoron> blakkheim: didn't work
[02:31] <adam83> Dr_Willis I just mounted my second harddrive, unfortunately I am not the owner, root is, and I would like to change that so I can add and edit files (I want this harddrive to be storage for two macbooks on my home network
[02:31] <mhall119> DISPLAY=:0 whatever
[02:31] <elijah_ro> hello
[02:31] <blakkheim> Nyoron: run it as root
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> adam83:  what filesystem?
[02:31] <jcc1> Schiz0: use the -display flag if available
[02:31] <Schiz0> Dr_Willis: Thanks. Do you happen to know the equivilent of -X in PuTTy on windows?
[02:31] <Nyoron> blakkheim: you're good
[02:31] <joshua___> Schiz0: become root, then that user, then set DISPLAY then send notification
[02:32] <blakkheim> Nyoron: nyoro~n
[02:32] <mhall119> no no no, you do _NOT_ want ssh -X
[02:32] <adam83> Dr_Willis ext3
[02:32] <Nyoron> blakkheim: Too good...
[02:32] <Dr_Willis> Schiz0:  theres a setting in the putty program settigns for it.. of course you will STILL need to have a X server running on the windows machine to actually shiow the programs output. (i use xming for that task)
[02:32] <mhall119> -X will forward the notify-osd commands to _your_ box
[02:32] <elijah_ro> Please very much help me to install printer canon LBP2900 ubuntu , i instaledd the driver and restart the printer and not work , please :(
[02:32] <Dr_Willis> adam83:  chown/chmod the mountpoint to be owned by the user you want to ahve full access to the filesystem. Or chown/chmod specific directories/folders on the fiklesystem to be owned by the user.
[02:33] <mhall119> Schiz0, do you want the notification to appear on the machine you are ssh-ing FROM, or the one you are sshing TO?
[02:33] <elijah_ro> i see the print instaled and whn pres to print dont work
[02:33] <elijah_ro> the print
[02:33] <Dr_Willis> adam83:  note that   if you want access to ALL files on teh drive -  you will need to set their ownership/permissions properly.
[02:33] <elijah_ro> whay?
[02:33] <Schiz0> the ubuntu machine. My girlfriend is on the ubuntu machine using hte desktop. I'm SSHing in from my windows PC. I'd like to harass her with notify-send
[02:33] <elijah_ro> help me
[02:33] <Dr_Willis> Schiz0:  thats the reverse of whats normally done..
[02:33] <Schiz0> :-P
[02:33] <Dr_Willis> Schiz0:  security features prevent that. by default.
[02:34] <elijah_ro> Please very much help me to install printer canon LBP2900 ubuntu , i instaledd the driver and restart the printer and not work , please :(
[02:34] <mhall119> Schiz0, festival will give you much more harassment value
[02:34] <adam83> Dr_Willis , so I cannot just change owner from user to adam and then have a read/write harddrive?
[02:34] <Dr_Willis> festival is fun. :)
[02:34] <Dr_Willis> adam83:  the permissions are set on a per file basis.. same as on any other linux filesystem.
[02:34] <Dr_Willis> adam83:  so you need to set them properly for all files.
[02:34] <elijah_ro> Please very much help me to install printer canon LBP2900 ubuntu , i instaledd the driver and restart the printer and not work , please :(
[02:34] <Dr_Willis> adam83:  you dont just override them
[02:34] <blakkheim> !repeat | elijah_ro
[02:34] <mhall119> Schiz0, are you ssh-ed as the same user account she it logged in as?
[02:34] <elijah_ro> :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
[02:35] <Schiz0> mhall119: yes
[02:35] <mhall119> Schiz0, you may be able to just export DISPLAY=:0
[02:35] <jcc1> elijah_ro: Did you use the System -> Admin -> Printing tool?
[02:35] <Dr_Willis> elijah_ro:  check cups.org to see how well supported that printer is?
[02:35] <mhall119> and then run the notify-osd stuff
[02:35] <adam83> Dr_Willis doesn't the entire hard drive (which I labeled storage when I mounted) count as a file?
[02:35] <elijah_ro> yes
[02:35] <Dr_Willis> mhall119:  that shouldent work.
[02:35] <elijah_ro> and dont work
[02:35] <elijah_ro> i beginer to use linux
[02:35] <elijah_ro> please veri much :(
[02:35] <blakkheim> !please | elijah_ro
[02:35] <mhall119> Dr_Willis, why not?  the user account is already logged in, and has the XAuth cookie
[02:36] <Dr_Willis> adam83:  you chown/chmod teh MOUNTPOINT and that gives you access to the 'root' of the filesystem..  then any subdirs/files on it NOW must have the proper permissions set if you want to access them now.
[02:36] <toy_> does someone have the successful experience of installing and running maya on ubuntu? I've installed it,but I can't run it :(
[02:36] <Dr_Willis> mhall119:  try it and see i guess.
[02:36] <howdeep> how can i use samba to mount a fat32 partition from a windows machine over a network
[02:36] <jcc1> elijah_ro: open the printing tool, right-click the printer icon and click Properties, then print a test page
[02:36] <howdeep> tried reading the man, can't figure it out
[02:36] <mhall119> Schiz0, if it doesn't work, just install festival and have fun
[02:37] <Schiz0> lol, thanks
[02:37] <Schiz0> i think export DISPLAY=:0 worked
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> howdeep:   You mount the filesystem to some directory. then set up samba to 'share' the directory.     If thats waht you mean.
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> howdeep:  if youy want to mount a windows share.  you can use the mount command.
[02:37] <g_> hi, how do i find out what processes are writing to disk?
[02:37] <toy_> does someone have the successful experience of installing and running maya on ubuntu? I've installed it,but I can't run it :(         It said:./Maya8.0: 23: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
[02:37] <toy_>      What can I do ?
[02:37] <jcc1> elijah_ro: if that does not work, then make sure cups is started "sudo service cups restart"
[02:37] <howdeep> Dr_Willis, okay. just mount is all i need
[02:37] <g_> my diskspace is going down for no reason
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> howdeep:  yep.
[02:38] <jcc1> elijah_ro: then try again
[02:38] <blakkheim> g_: try gdmap
[02:38] <Dr_Willis> howdeep:  You can mount via fstab, or the gnome file manager, or.. command line.

[02:53] <mister_roboto> flaccid: it's in multiverse   make sure you have that enabled
[02:53] <blakkheim> Xfact: stop repeating yourself
[02:53] <flaccid> ah yeah its not enabled in this one
[02:53] <flaccid> thanks mister_roboto
[02:53] <parkandstop> how do i sync my ipod with ubuntu
[02:53] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  at least summarize the issue.. Im not going to a web site to just get the general idea of the issue
[02:53] <flaccid> mister_roboto: whats the easy way to enable multiverse from shell ?
[02:53] <Dr_Willis> !ipod | parkandstop
[02:53] <elijah_ro> i see cups.org
[02:53] <jcc1> Xfact: hardware problem? maybe run a memcheck
[02:53] <elijah_ro> :(
[02:54] <parkandstop> thanks
[02:54] <Xfact> blakkheim : "Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly" I am just obeying this rule.....
[02:54] <mister_roboto> flaccid: hold on, i'll paste my sources.list
[02:54] <Wavesonics> ggaaahhhh.... i upgraded to Grub2, and /boot to Ext4, but it keeps trying to mount it as Ext3, and fails, WHY
[02:54] <wookienz> Dr_Willis: yes learned about spaces the hard way! i have just moved to Koala GUI - usually only CLI for m other nix machines. So just trying to get used to the GUI nuances of nix now.
[02:54] <Xfact> jcc1: I don't know anything about the probs...so asking for ideas....
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> wookienz:  thers some trick to using spaces in share names in fstab.. but i forget what the trick is/was now.. :)
[02:55] <wookienz> and usually i just root into everything, bad i know.. so ubuntu is teaching me a lesson
[02:55] <joshua___> Wavesonics: maybe need to mount manually and fix /etc/fstab and then run update-initramfs
[02:55] <Xfact> jcc1: and how to run a 'memcheck'?
[02:55] <wookienz> i think just a "\" to escape it is fine
[02:55] <howdeep> jcc1,  figured it out, thanks alot dude.
[02:55] <joshua___> boot manually is usually somewhere along the lines of addinig kinit=/bin/sh to kernel command line
 ah very good idea
[02:55] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  normally theres a memcheck item on the grub menus
[02:55] <mister_roboto> flaccid: http://pastebin.com/m2a759225
[02:55] <wookienz> ie "My\ Docs"
[02:55] <elijah_ro> why dont work the printer , is instaled is retsarted
[02:56] <jcc1> Xfact: try running memcheck is one way, but I would shutdown, make sure everything is securely plugged in on the motherboard, etc, then run memcheck. It looks like a hardware prob
[02:56] <flaccid> mister_roboto: yeah i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine#Adding the Universe and Multiverse Repositories thank
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> wookienz:  that will NOT work for a samba share in fstab...
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> wookienz:  theres some other sequence thats needed...
[02:56] <mister_roboto> flaccid: ok :)
[02:56] <danny> how do i restore ubuntu to a earlier time?

[02:57] <Xfact> jcc1: But I think it's not a hardware prob...because it just started happening today... before today...hardy was running fine....but I'll check all hardwares...
[02:58] <Alan502> The sound works but my microphone doesn't

[02:58] <mister_roboto> Xfact: you must be right. hardware problems never start happening today :)
[02:58] <jcc1> danny: go to the settings in Synaptic and check that only the basic reps are enabled, the reinstall the packages that are messing up
[02:58] <jcc1> Xfact: memcheck will check the RAM

[03:02] <mataernj_> www.blogeek.com.ve
[03:02] <jcc1> Xfact: that's the problem with hardware, first it works, then it stops working... no warning. It may not be that but you said all was fine and the it just stopeed. Things shutting down and going "black" for no reason looks like hardware issues
[03:03] <jcc1> danny: Settings -> Repositories

[03:05] <sven_oostenbrink> Just installed ubuntu (over VNC on another computer), entire install went well, but when resetting the computer, the BIOS says that there is no bootable medium.. I have started the ubuntu install CD again, I mounted the partition, fdisk tells the partition is active, the contents look fine.. what might be the problem here?
[03:06] <Dr_Willis> sven_oostenbrink:  grub may not be installed to the right place. or  the wrong drive is trying to be booted by default/flash drive being booted instead/ and so on..
[03:06] <danny> jcc1, what tab is it under?
[03:06] <townkat> hi
[03:07] <switch10> can i use vnc to access a remote computer, or is it only for computers on a local network?
[03:07] <sven_oostenbrink> Dr_Willis: no other drives are there.. I did see that this time there is no separate boot partition.. Since I always installed dual system, there was always a separate boot partition. could this be a problem?
[03:07] <townkat> i try to make my wl-167g work in master mode in ubuntu 9.10 desktop, can anyone help pls ?
[03:07] <Dr_Willis> switch10: to use vnc over teh 'inteernet' you would want to ssh tunnle the vnc connection. or perhaps use a vpn
[03:08] <switch10> Dr_Willis: thanks
[03:08] <jcc1> danny: Settings -Repositories -Ubuntu Software   you will see the Canonical stuff checked as it should be, all others, just uncheck
[03:08] <Dr_Willis> sven_oostenbrink:  a boot 'partition' is normally not needed. Did you do anything odd with the install? raid/lvm?  pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' and perhaps try reinstalling the grub bootloader.
[03:08] <jcc1> danny: then right click the packages you want to reinstall and click reinstall... simple
[03:09] <sven_oostenbrink> Dr_Willis: How can I reinstall the grub bootloader?
[03:09] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub | sven_oostenbrink
[03:09] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | sven_oostenbrink
[03:10] <sven_oostenbrink> Dr_Willis: there is nothing weird with lvm or raid by the way.. pasting fdisk

[03:11] <sven_oostenbrink> Dr_Willis:  http://pastebin.com/m49b060ad
[03:11] <Dr_Willis> sven_oostenbrink:  well thats about as basic a disk layout as it gets...
[03:12] <Twitch131> I need to do it from the Live CD.
[03:12] <sven_oostenbrink> Dr_Willis: I know... thats why I don't gettit..
[03:12] <Twitch131> Would prefer*
[03:12] <howdeep> where can i edit the settings to have the screen turn off after a certain amount of inactivity
[03:12] <Dr_Willis> Twitch131:  yes.. its doable from a live cd.. boot cd. chroot to the installed system properly.. run update-grub  is one way
[03:12] <joel_> Is there any possibilty to recover stupid installations on ubuntu?
[03:13] <elijah_ro> who can help me the isntall again printer canon LBP2900
[03:13] <elijah_ro> ?
[03:13] <Dr_Willis> sven_oostenbrink:  try reinstalling grub perhaps? is ablout all i can suggest.. see whats in the /boot/ directory - perhaps grub had some  goof up
[03:13] <Twitch131> It's actually my fault.
[03:13] <Twitch131> I chose to not install GRUB, because I have Windows bootloader.  I then realized the Windows Boot Loader doesn't support ext4.
[03:14] <jcc1> joel_: depends on what you mean by stupid, recover, etc. One way is to just reinstall from scratch
[03:14] <townkat> i try to make my usb wireless dongle wl-167g work in master mode in ubuntu 9.10 desktop, can anyone help pls ? it seem to have realtek rt2500 chip
[03:14] <Twitch131> So I guess what I'm asking is, how would I install GRUB  from the LiveCD, replacing my Windows Bootloader?
[03:14] <Dr_Willis> Twitch131:  those 2 url/guides posted earlier should show you the commands to do it.
[03:15] <Dr_Willis> Twitch131:  You may need to install grub-pc package first  to get grub2 installed on the system if uits not allready there.
[03:15] <Dr_Willis> in short.. boot live cd.. chroot into the installed system.. do commands needed to install grub.
[03:16] <Twitch131> How do I chroot?
[03:16] <Dr_Willis> those 2 url/guides posted earlier should show you the commands to do it.
[03:16] <Twitch131> Sorry, I'm a bit new to linux.
[03:16] <Twitch131> Alright, thanks.
[03:16] <Dr_Willis> Twitch131:  may be easier to just reinstall then if you have just done a install..
[03:17] <danny> everytime i go to install my drivers "nvidia 195" my nvidia-glx-195-dev and nvidia-195-libvdpau-dev
[03:17] <danny> are messed up

[03:20] <emehrkay_> How can I do window expose, like in osx?

[03:22] <Dr_Willis> emehrkay_:  thers a compiz feature like that.. personally i find it useless...

[03:22] <protojay> why did you do that HFSPLUS ?
[03:22] <Morwind> guys ubuntu is freezing at completely random. using 9.10.. any help?
[03:22] <ctmjr> that's one way to get their attention
[03:22] <jcc1> townkat:  I don't know, you could check supported hardware at Ubuntu web site
[03:22] <HFSPLUS> what did i do?
[03:22] <danny> im tryin to install my nvidia drivers "nvidia 195" and it tells me SystemError: installArchives() failed. how do i fix this
[03:22] <emehrkay_> Dr_willis, i have the compiz setup to show all of the work areas, I cannot find the one for the windows
[03:22] <protojay> u typed !ops
[03:23] <emehrkay_> I am coming from osx (i have 3 boxes)
[03:23] <protojay> windows 7 is not better than ubuntu
[03:23] <Dr_Willis> woodyjlw:  firefox settings are in the .mozilla directroy i belive.  Im p[retty sure that i installed chrome
[03:24] <jolaren> Dr_Willis, With the live cd?  And all these settings I've made will go away?
[03:25] <danny> im tryin to install my nvidia drivers "nvidia 195" and it tells me SystemError: installArchives() failed. how do i fix this

[03:25] <SudoKing> thanks amaranth
[03:25] <emehrkay_> HFSPLUS must work for microsoft
[03:25] <ChogyDan> danny: have you tried envy?
[03:25] <Dr_Willis> jolaren:  You can boot the cd and restart the installer.. and it will wan tto format the filesystems.  its common to keep /home/ on its own partition - that way you dont lose the users data
[03:25] <parkandstop> HFSPLUS is in need of a ban
[03:25] <protojay> lol
[03:26] <danny> choggydan, yes same problem
[03:26] <optimizer> does this work on ubuntu? http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/usb-gadgets/c609/?pfm=Carousel_Lilliput_5
[03:27] <MenZa> optimizer: Don't count on it.
[03:27] <jtaji> optimizer: I wouldn't count on it
[03:27] <townkat> jcc1: my wireles is suported in ubuntu, it work fine, but not in master mode (acces point mode), and i read that there are some rt2x00 drivers that enable this, can i use them from etc/modules/ ?
[03:27] <jcc1> townkat: yes, I understand. The modules files list the ones you want loaded at boot time, I just don't know what module you need. Hardware support at Ubuntu may anser this
[03:27] <sven_oostenbrink> Dr_Willis: I get lots of these errors:  cannot find a device for /.   This could  be an indication?
[03:27] <jtaji> optimizer: a usb monitor is an odd thing ;)
[03:27] <MenZa> jtaji: Great minds.
[03:27] <Alan502> Can someone help me make my microphone work? this is what lspci says about my audio card: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
[03:27] <Dr_Willis> sven_oostenbrink:  whats saying that exactly?
[03:28] <jtaji> MenZa: indeed!
[03:28] <townkat> jcc1: ok, thank you so much ;)
[03:28] <sven_oostenbrink> Dr_Willis: grub_install, grub_mkconfig
[03:28] <optimizer> jtaji: but it's soooooooooooooooo cool; can you imagine having 2 monitors, plus 5 of these little things?
[03:28] <jcc1> townkat: once you know the particular module you want then modinfo that module to see what options are available - see man modinfo
[03:29] <Dr_Willis> sven_oostenbrink:  Not sure.. Ive rarely needed to reinstall grub. when i do . i just  boot live cd.. do the chroot. and run 'update-grub'
[03:29] <Dr_Willis> sven_oostenbrink:  could be you dident chroot in properluy
[03:29] <jtaji> optimizer: agreed... looks like it's possible, http://tzilla.is-a-geek.com/articles/egalax/
[03:29] <jtaji> optimizer: but certainly not simple
[03:30] <mari> vrajan
[03:30] <sven_oostenbrink> Dr_Willis: well, happens with and wihtout chroot
[03:30] <mindvirus> How do I view a list of my most recently installed/upgraded programs?
[03:31] <optimizer> jtaji: err, a kernel compile?
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> sven_oostenbrink:  befor you chroot you do mount the /proc and /dev like you are supposed to?
[03:31] <sven_oostenbrink> Dr_Willis: there you have somehing.. How would I mount those? Never done that before
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> sven_oostenbrink:  i though the grub restore docs showed how.
[03:31] <joshua___> I used to run udev on my old system with a real (not tmpfs) /dev
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub
[03:31] <jtaji> optimizer: yeah you'd definitely be hacking together support for this yourself
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> lets look... :)
[03:31] <joshua___> It sure came in handy when recovering from a crash later on
[03:32] <Kevin`> http://nelson.kwzs.be/~kevin/install.png - kinda sad in a way that it's faster to do this then just press then install button ;)
[03:32] <joshua___> how do I dist-upgrade a schroot jail?
[03:33] <Dr_Willis> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub  --->  Enter the following commands to load your filesystem and some information GRUB may need.
[03:33] <losha> mindvirus: there should be a complete log of package changes in order in /var/log/dpkg.log*
[03:33] <Kevin`> (because it's running from the iso file, and the cd is so sloooow)
[03:33] <sven_oostenbrink> Dr_Willis: Havent checked those yet since that was about grub1, supposedly it was not for grub2
[03:34] <Dr_Willis> sven_oostenbrink:  its the same.. chroot in.. run  the proper commands. :) actually the guides show other ways to restrore grub
[03:34] <woodyjlw> Dr_Willis,  how do I find the file for firefox that I can delete
[03:34] <Dr_Willis> sven_oostenbrink:  the command 'update-grub' and 'grub-install' work for either one
[03:34] <sven_oostenbrink> okay.. trying
[03:35] <Dr_Willis> woodyjlw:  depends on what you want to do.
[03:35] <woodyjlw> Dr_Willis,  can I remove firefox completely and then reinstall?
[03:35] <Dr_Willis> woodyjlw:  you could.. it wont fix anything....
[03:35] <jcc1> mindvirus: you can check /var/log/dpkg.log
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> woodyjlw:  rember this.. removing a package will NOT NOT NOT alter teh USERS config files....
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> woodyjlw:  package manager dosent TOUCH the users stuff.
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> woodyjlw:  if you want to fix the users configs then  the user needs to do so. :)
[03:36] <woodyjlw> Dr_Willis,  oh ok then I need to figure out where the folder is to delete so I can reste
