[16:09] <langvann> Hello. I am trying to get a DiskLess Ubuntu up and running, (using the official guide). Everything works as a charm, until i get to the point "cp -ax /. /mnt/." - Then I get the error "Cannot preserve ownership of file: 'blablabla': Invalid argument, on every single file i try to copy. anyone know how I can fix this? no_root_squash in /etc/exports, and i am logged in as root on the client side of the nfsshare i'm trying to copy to.
[16:09] <soreau> !info aclock.app
[16:09] <Northwoods> ryu_kurisu  what is use of ACLOCK ?
[16:10] <Ryu_Kurisu> Northwoods: I don't know, I don't think I've got it installed...
[16:10] <rs0832> Northwoods, it just displays a clock on the desktop
[16:10] <rs0832> Northwoods, http://www.linuks.mine.nu/aclock/
[16:10] <Northwoods> unforunately it doens't display clock , instead a stair is displayed
[16:11] <CarlFK> langvann: url of guide you used?
[16:11] <rooks> langvann, sudo cp...
[16:11] <langvann> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto
[16:11] <maco> ePirat: best you can do is use gksudo and have to type in the password when you login
[16:11] <langvann> rooks: I am logged in as root. Dont need sudo
[16:11] <rooks> langvann, hmm.. i used the same routine for my own diskless setup that im running rihgt now
[16:12] <Ryu_Kurisu> langvann: you should create a user and put it in the sudo'ers list
[16:12] <langvann> Ryu_Kurisu: I have.
[16:12] <langvann> myself.
[16:12] <Frenk> !root
[16:13] <rooks> langvann, http://pleasanthacking.com/2010/09/29/gaia-system/ this btw i deployed around my school :)
[16:13] <langvann> I hade to make a password for root account by practical reasons.
[16:13] <Ryu_Kurisu> Alright, I was just saying because it's not save to do everything as root
[16:13] <rooks> langvann a multi host diskless sytem from one image :)
[16:13] <langvann> Nice rooks
[16:14] <langvann> But i just need this one computer to boot up from the network with the install i have on my laptop :P
[16:15] <feanor2> I have 2 questions: how to ebnable sound in KDE apps and how to filter lines from 1. text file out from 2.?
[16:16] <rooks> langvann i think i just hooked server hdd directly to my lappy when i was setting it up, for my uni setup i just used vm's on virtualbox
[16:17] <langvann> Hmm
[16:17] <surfzoid> Hi folk
[16:17] <ePirat> maco: so i can't autostart something when it needs root acc?
[16:17] <langvann> Could it be possible to just create an iso of /. and unpack it on the server?
[16:17] <surfzoid> is there an "paper toss" game for linux ?
[16:17] <maco> ePirat: not inside your session
[16:17] <r3dux> Do any of you know OpenGL?
[16:17] <langvann> would that preserve the ownership ?
[16:17] <r3dux> Or should I just wish?
[16:18] <maco> ePirat: you could make it an upstart script if its not related to you logging in, just to the computer coming up
[16:18] <r3dux> SLAPS maco4
[16:18] <ePirat> maco, sounds good! how can i make it an upstart script?
[16:18] <r3dux> -4
[16:18] <wildc4rd> can someone remind me of the line that changes the minimise/close buttons back to the right hand side please
[16:18] <rooks> langvann AH, i remembered, i think i booted my machine that went as guest for booting, with a pendrive, and tar.gz the whole /
[16:18] <erUSUL> !controls > wildc4rd
[16:19] <Pici> r3dux: This channel is for Ubuntu support only. Please stay on topic.
[16:19] <Ryu_Kurisu> wildc4rd: I don't know the line, but manually :)
[16:19] <langvann> rooks: but if i compress it, will the tar.gz still contain the original permissions?
[16:19] <Ryu_Kurisu> !controls | wildc4rd
[16:19] <r3dux> PiciL RLY?
[16:19] <rooks> langvann yes, tar stores them
[16:20] <langvann> sweet.

[16:20] <feanor2> how to substract one text file from another
[16:20] <langvann> I will try this.
[16:20] <langvann> tar -czvf OS.tar.gz /
[16:20] <langvann> lol
[16:20] <Kotelete> kotele
[16:20] <Kotelete> kotelete
[16:20] <rooks> langvann just look at man to be sure, and use it on dead / which dont have anything mounted on it
[16:20] <r3dux> Pici - Done & done. Sorry.
[16:20] <|AbsyntH|> i've a problem with ubuntu 10.10 and nvidia driver...after reboot i'll have only a shell login and in /var/log/ i've this error (EE) No devices detected
[16:20] <|AbsyntH|> any solution?
[16:21] <rooks> brb\
[16:21] <feanor2> langvann, don't forget --numeric-owner option
[16:21] <maco> ePirat: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html
[16:21] <CarlFK> langvann: does /mnt exist on the client?  I don't see a md step before this command:  mount -t nfs -onolock <IP_ADDRESS>:/nfsroot /mnt
[16:21] <maco> ePirat: ignore the bit about compiling. ubuntu uses upstart by default
[16:21] <maco> ePirat: skip to the part about jobs
[16:21] <langvann> CarlFK: Yes, otherwise i'd get a error telling me that the moint point doesnt exist.
[16:22] <CarlFK> langvann: yeah, I am thinking the instructions wern't too well tested.
[16:23] <langvann> i think /mnt/ folder is a system default in linux
[16:23] <ePirat> maco, does the script started with upstart has root privilegs?
[16:23] <maco> ePirat: yeah im pretty sure upstart runs as root
[16:25] <r3dux> Gosh.
[16:26] <r3dux> I am a simple Ph.D software engineer, you pick the rest.
[16:26] <langvann> rooks: How what did you do about /dev/ ?
[16:27] <CarlFK> langvann: im gonna tell you what you already know: it's and nfs rights problem.  a few years ago I thought I understood it, but a month ago i tried to build a pretty simple nfs setup and floundered around.  seems I don't.  that's all I got for ya ;/
[16:28] <grendal_prime> wholy cow is there such a thing as a simple radius server??
[16:28] <Muerto7> hi all
[16:28] <langvann> Hm. That could be a problem
[16:28] <dyj> öøŮЕижж
[16:28] <langvann> since the I need rw on the client for everything to work.
[16:28] <Muerto7> as I can make a mail server
[16:29] <Muerto7> need info
[16:29] <ePirat> maco, what is a runlevel?
[16:29] <langvann> Muerto7: what?
[16:29] <maco> ePirat: ubuntu runs at runlevel 2
[16:29] <r3dux> Grendeal - You're interested in a radious server why?
[16:29] <maco> ePirat: 0 is shutdown, 6 is reboot, 1 is single-user-mode (the recovery option when you boot)
[16:30] <Muerto7> I want to do  a mail server langvann
[16:30] <pshr> where are videos stored when recorded with VLC in this UBUNTU ?
[16:30] <maco> ePirat: other distros have 2-5 doing different things. ubuntu and debian have 2-5 all being the same and 2 is the default
[16:30] <pshr> where are videos stored when recorded with VLC in this UBUNTU ?
[16:30] <vectory> pshr: had a look in ~ or ~/-vlc?
[16:30] <rs0832> maco, 2 is with gui?
[16:31] <ePirat> maco, so which runlevel i should use for my upstart script?
[16:31] <maco> rs0832: on ubuntu yes
[16:31] <maco> ePirat: 2
[16:31] <Muerto7> need inform
[16:31] <pshr> no ~/-vlc
[16:31] <pshr> or ~/.vlc
[16:31] <rs0832> maco, hmm k..
[16:32] <OerHeks> pshr in ~/Video ?
[16:32] <ePirat> maco: and what is "stop on runlevel"?
[16:32] <maco> rs0832: check out the wikipedia page on runlevels. all the major distros do it differently
[16:32] <pshr> YAY!!! OerHeks my hero
[16:32] <pshr> ha ha
[16:32] <pshr> :D
[16:32] <pshr> :P
[16:32] <FloodBot2> pshr: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:32] <pshr> stupid floodbot I am just thanking :P
[16:32] <maco> ePirat: if it was something like cupsd, a long running process, you might want it to stop at a certain time, like if dropping into single user mode
[16:32] <rs0832> maco, yes i have seen that .. thanks anyway :)
[16:32] <OerHeks> pshr have fun :-)
[16:33] <ePirat> maco, it is for a irc server
[16:33] <pshr> tq :)
[16:33] <maco> ePirat: then have it stop on shutdown and reboot (0 & 6) at least

[16:41] <IConrad01> Hello -- I'm trying to do the distro upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 ... I ran into an error during the update.
[16:41] <coffee> hi
[16:42] <IConrad01> "W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/deb-thumbnailer-team/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  404  Not Found" <-- during software source reset.
[16:42] <coffee> this is weird
[16:42] <IConrad01> All of my repos are now set to Maverick but I can't actually get to the upgrade process.
[16:42] <IConrad01> I tried removing the repo in question from my software sources and doing the upgrade again, but it came back with the same error.
[16:43] <cody> should there be updates since last night, or are there none? I've had to comment out deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick main and deb-src http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick main as they still don't work
[16:43] <juniour> hi
[16:44] <rs0832> cody, hi
[16:44] <cody> hi
[16:44] <rs0832> cody, you can try uncommenting them now and see if they work
[16:44] <Ryu_Kurisu> cody: With the default repos you don't have update every single day...but most days...
[16:44] <cody> did that already, still got the error.
[16:45] <cody> i'm just wondering if they're important.
[16:45] <Northwoods> every time , i install something , ubuntu desktop version asks me for password , is there a way to set it as default so that when i'm logged in , i dont have to fill password for everytjhing ?
[16:45] <compdoc> Northwoods, yeah, its a pain
[16:45] <theMalloc> Can anybody tell me what it means if i get "Ign http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/main Translation-de " on apt-get update?
[16:45] <KM0201> cody: did you update your source list after uncommenting them?
[16:46] <Kartagis> what are the odds of ubuntu to crash if I change CPU and motherboard?
[16:46] <cody> let me see if I did. sec
[16:46] <rs0832> KM0201, he's getting the error while updating
[16:46] <KM0201> rs0832: sorry, i came in late.. whats the error again?
[16:46] <rs0832> KM0201, but the repo seems to be online
[16:46] <rs0832> KM0201, oh no you didn't miss anythin.. he was here earlier
[16:46] <neriukas> northwoods you can chane time of sudo prompt or maybe remove prompts password i think
[16:46] <Northwoods> guys any way i can get rid of filling password agian and again ?
[16:46] <KM0201> rs0832: but i wasn't
[16:46] <rs0832> KM0201, i was there so i know :)
[16:47] <YouArePwned> hey guys
[16:47] <Northwoods> neriukas: how ?
[16:47] <rs0832> KM0201, k ill tell you
[16:47] <YouArePwned> i have the same problem that this man has: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10283585&postcount=48
[16:47] <YouArePwned> that Unsupported hardware watermark
[16:47] <IConrad01> Anyone have any advice as to how I can save my system short of a total reinstall?
[16:47] <YouArePwned> anyone knows how to remove it?

[16:47] <neriukas> northwoods use google i found some texts about taht
[16:47] <rs0832> KM0201, he installed ubuntu 10.04, but when he runs the sources update, he gets an error that extras.ubuntu.com cannot be resolved
[16:47] <neriukas> *that
[16:48] <iratik> Everywhere i look the resources say you should use "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" to configure the system time zone. I execute the command and follow the instructions, the output states the time zone is succesfully changed. I execute "date" and the same old timezone is still showing. http://pastebin.com/cf9agYkp
[16:48] <KM0201> rs0832: has he pastbinned his sourcelist?
[16:48] <rs0832> KM0201, yep
[16:48] <YouArePwned> so, H
[16:48] <KM0201> link?
[16:48] <rs0832> KM0201, but this was like over 6-8 hours ago
[16:48] <YouArePwned> so, how to remove "AMD Unsupported hardware" displaying while running X
[16:49] <cody> by update the source lists, what do you mean?
[16:49] <Northwoods> one more question , how can increase the height of bottom bar ( where windows are minimized )
[16:49] <vectory> Northwoods: i havent seen any option to do so
[16:50] <KM0201> cody: open a terminal and type sudo apt-get update
[16:50] <vectory> u can add a second pannel to double the h
[16:50] <rs0832> KM0201, i think it was this one though - http://paste.ubuntu.com/548450/
[16:50] <rs0832> KM0201, found it in my history
[16:50] <Northwoods> vectory: ok thanks
[16:50] <Northwoods> vectory: do you klnow how to get rid of prompting password again and again ?
[16:51] <tieinv> Northwoods, right click the bar select properties
[16:51] <vectory> depends on the action it asks u the password for
[16:51] <KM0201> rs0832: ok.. so looking at that, if he's not changed anything, he doesn't have multiverse enabled...
[16:51] <compdoc> Northwoods, there is a way - but its not 'safe'
[16:51] <vectory> u can make sth like a trusted user for any application
[16:51] <KM0201> and doesn't have src-partner enabled.. not that thats a big deal
[16:51] <Northwoods> vectory: how ?
[16:51] <YouArePwned> anyone know how to remove "AMD Unsupported hardware" displaying while running X? i will be thankful if you help me
[16:51] <rs0832> KM0201, i tried getting him to uncomment that but it didnt work
[16:51] <cody> it looks like the extras.ubuntu,.com is still not working.
[16:52] <rs0832> cody, but you can access it through your browser right?
[16:52] <vectory> Northwoods: involves editing /etc/sudoers
[16:52] <Northwoods> ok
[16:52] <Northwoods> thanks
[16:52] <vectory> when i tried first with gksudo i couldnt sudo anyhow anymore
[16:52] <KM0201> cody: pastebin what happens when you apt-get update
[16:52] <Kartagis> what are the odds of ubuntu to crash if I change CPU and motherboard?
[16:53] <vectory> Northwoods: visudo*
[16:53] <neriukas> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-19236.html here are good forum discution about sudo asking toot pasword if you want you can just remove it
[16:53] <compdoc> Kartagis, some OSes do fine, some dont. guess it depends on how different the hardware is
[16:53] <KM0201> Kartagis: well, it depends on if the new motherboard/cpu are supported.. much like windows
[16:53] <bluezone> kartagis: while the computer is one? xD (that would definitely be fun :))
[16:53] <cody> I can acccess the repo from Firefox, yes, I'll pastebin it not
[16:53] <cody> *now
[16:53] <YouArePwned> look like i found this: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showpost.php?p=97585&postcount=2
[16:53] <YouArePwned> will try out after reboot
[16:54] <bluezone> Kartagis, yes it depends if ubuntu has drivers for them, i suggest backing up your stuff first
[16:54] <Kartagis> compdoc KM0201 bluezone Intel -> AMD
[16:54] <cody> http://paste.ubuntu.com/548570/
[16:54] <KM0201> Kartagis: again.. the actual CPU isn't likely an issue.
[16:54] <ox3a> rs0832,
[16:55] <ox3a> rs0832, here?
[16:55] <rs0832> ox3a, yes
[16:55] <Kartagis> okay, if it crashes, what are the odds I can re-install it without formatting the drive?
[16:55] <compdoc> Kartagis, sometimes, even going from amd to amd, (nvidia chipset to amd chipset) can stop an OS from booting. just have to try it. although, it might be a good idea to clone your drive and use the clone to try it
[16:55] <bluezone> Kartagis, IMO theres probably a very low chance that you encounter problem, but back up your stuff incase your too lazy to redo everything
[16:56] <IsmAvatar> Hey guys, I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop and after a few windows are open, it performs very sluggishly, usually taking at least 1 second to perform a request like switching focus. The computer only has 512 MB of RAM, but even Windows doesn't perform this sluggishly.
[16:56] <IsmAvatar> and I know, forgive me for using the W word so generously
[16:56] <bluezone> Kartagis, if it crashed you just gotta put everything that was originally there back, i'm assuming your not changing the HDD
[16:56] <compdoc> 512 megs isnt much
[16:56] <IsmAvatar> i'm aware
[16:56] <soreau> IsmAvatar: Which graphics card do you have?
[16:57] <KM0201> cody: that suggests that either the target is down, or you've entered it wrong in your source list.. where did you get that repo?.. i'll try it
[16:57] <cody> kk
[16:57] <Kartagis> bluezone I'm not changing the HDD
[16:57] <bluezone> IsmAvatar, you are running the os right, not off the live cd?
[16:57] <compdoc> I see many ppl come in here with problems with 10.10, but I think its mainly when they upgrade from an older version
[16:58] <bluezone> Kartagis, then if it screws up you just have to put everything back (but i sincerly doubt that it will, ubuntu is probably the most stable linux i've been on)
[16:58] <rs0832> KM0201, i dont think so..
[16:58] <IsmAvatar> bluezone: indeed. Actually I had to install from USB, because the liveCD only got me to a initramfs terminal. I'm holding the USB flash drive in my hand right now, so I know it's not running off of it
[16:58] <rs0832> KM0201, i have the same 2 repos and it updates fine.. i get a hit on both
[16:58] <KM0201> rmdyeah, i just noticed so do i.
[16:58] <IsmAvatar> soreau: nVidia GeForce FX 5200, with proprietary drivers turned on.
[16:59] <cody> the repo was with ubuntu when installed
[16:59] <soreau> IsmAvatar: Have you tried disabling desktop effects?
[16:59] <tas> how to close an application with keyboard shortcut?? alt+f4 doesn't work here..
[16:59] <IsmAvatar> soreau: yes, already did that. Still sluggish
[16:59] <bluezone> IsmAvatar, is your mouse also preforming badly?
[16:59] <IsmAvatar> tas: usually Ctrl+W or Ctrl+Q
[17:00] <cody> I had to use a text editor to see the question.....
[17:00] <tas> IsmAvatar, k thanks
[17:00] <DysteR> Im using Ubuntu 10.10 , what is the effect or package that allows you to move WINDOWS from one DESKTOP to another with the MOUSE ????
[17:00] <soreau> IsmAvatar: Have you looked at running processes in system monitor to see if any are using too many system resources?
[17:00] <IsmAvatar> bluezone: not usually. Most of the time it performs fine unless I'm trying to load up an application or an application gets gray.
[17:00] <xD> tas: CLI applications can be closed/stopped with Control+C
[17:00] <soreau> DysteR: synergy?
[17:00] <vectory> not always sadly :(
[17:00] <IsmAvatar> soreau: terminal `top` only reports xOrg seems to be using up 10% ram as the most demanding process.
[17:01] <bluezone> IsmAvatar, can you do lspci and pastebin please?
[17:01] <KM0201> cody: i have no logical explanation for your problem its working fine here
[17:01] <sacarlson> DysteR: for me I just drag a window from one to another, maybe compiz?
[17:01] <IsmAvatar> bluezone: certainly
[17:01] <cody> hmmmm
[17:01] <DysteR> no no  I mean when you use
[17:01] <DysteR> CTRL ALT DOWN
[17:01] <DysteR> and you have that big wall and you can move them around with your mouse
[17:01] <bluezone> DysteR, are you talking about windows off edge in one workspace appearing on the next?
[17:01] <KM0201> cody: try removing it.. update your source list and make sure you get no errors... then add it back.
[17:02] <DysteR> just type in KDE with COMPIZ its the first video on youtube
[17:02] <rs0832> KM0201, thats what i told him to do..:)
[17:02] <IsmAvatar> bluezone: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/DK5GaMaM
[17:02] <rs0832> KM0201, apparently though, it didnt seem to have worked
[17:02] <DysteR> I have compiz installed but many things are missing
[17:02] <KM0201> cody: i don't see any typos in your source listing...which is usually the cause for that sort of thing
[17:02] <Yizi> anyone can help with iptables?
[17:02] <sacarlson> DysteR: wow that's cool didn't even know I had that <ctl>alt down  again maybe compiz
[17:02] <vectory> DysteR: u mean like in 9.4 ..?
[17:02] <DysteR> AUHEAUEHA
[17:02] <cody> should i pastebin thesources?
[17:03] <DysteR> I just began using Ubuntu 10.10  for around 2 weeks
[17:03] <DysteR> Sacarlson theres all kinds of shorcuts
[17:03] <rs0832> cody, i still have the one of this morning :) yesterday for you
[17:03] <DysteR> like SHIFT CONTROL ALT TAB
[17:03] <DysteR> to change desktops
[17:03] <cody> kk
[17:03] <Yizi> can someone help me with iptables i have couple of questions
[17:03] <KM0201> cody: yeah, go ahead, but he posted the link you gave to your sources earlier
[17:03] <bluezone> IsmAvatar, for now, do you know how to change desktop effects to none?
[17:03] <IsmAvatar> bluezone: as I said, I already did.
[17:03] <soreau> DysteR: http://forum.compiz.org/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=12012
[17:03] <DysteR> I wanna have that one ...  Youtube there , KDE with Compiz , and you will see that the guy has kindy eye candy effects
[17:03] <KM0201> cody: unless you've changed something since then
[17:04] <mikebl> hey.. anyone knows about remote uploads?
[17:04] <cody> well, it hasn't changed, so i won't, it'd be redundant to do so.
[17:04] <KM0201> cody: ok thats fine
[17:04] <DysteR> try to see if you can  identify with compiz hes using http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWLA5Fw5gAY
[17:04] <xpop> ciao
[17:04] <DysteR> im sorro WICH
[17:04] <DysteR> sorry
[17:04] <DysteR> lol
[17:04] <FloodBot2> DysteR: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:04] <prabhu> roothack
[17:04] <ePirat> does the rc.local file not work with ubuntu 10.10 ?
[17:05] <rs0832> cody, i think i have a solution
[17:05] <ozzy_> i have some troubles using sendmail , anyone could help me?
[17:05] <bluezone> IsmAvatar, well
[17:05] <cody> yes?
[17:06] <KM0201> rs0832: i think i just saw the problem a swell
[17:06] <rs0832> KM0201, :)
[17:06] <bluezone> IsmAvatar, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[17:06] <Rypervenche> Is doing "checkinstall" the same thing as doing "make install" ? Will anything be different in the installation process? I'm compiling a program, but I'm not sure which to do. Will any of the instructions in the installation file be overlooked if I use checkinstall?
[17:06] <rs0832> cody, you can try changing your nameservers
[17:06] <prabhu> #roothack
[17:06] <maco> ePirat: because those autostart scripts you set are for when you login graphically. root never does
[17:06] <rs0832> cody, i didnt realise i had this problem too, before
[17:06] <bluezone> IsmAvatar, ubuntu reccomends 1GB, and more compouter is constant going over 550 MB so i would assume that's the problem
[17:06] <StaRetji> Folks, really need help here. Is there a way to fake EDID sent from monitor. I have Ubuntu on ARM and it seems that it can display only max res sent by edid.
[17:06] <cody> as in changing the server from the main server?
[17:06] <KM0201> rs0832: that isn't gonna change that repository i don't think.. since it's technically a vendor repo... it stays hsted w/ ubuntu
[17:07] <rs0832> KM0201, not the repo
[17:07] <KM0201> hmm.
[17:07] <ePirat> maco: oh... autostart isnt very easy on ubuntu
[17:07] <KM0201> it was workign for me on main... but i switched to some other one, and reloaded, and checked that repo, and its still the same (but all the others changed)
[17:07] <IsmAvatar> bluezone: d'oh, thanks for pointing that out. But it does seem like a little overkill that Linux would be so sluggish when Windows XP seems to perform fine.
[17:07] <rs0832> KM0201, maybe the dns server hasnt got a proper entry for that particular domain name.. it is just  a longshot, i know, but it might work
[17:07] <mikebl> hey.. anyone knows about remote uploads?
[17:07] <maco> ePirat: any idea whats not working onthe upstart script?
[17:08] <KM0201> rs0832: its certainly worth a try
[17:08] <xpop> /irc.oceanirc.net/oce@n-music
[17:08] <rs0832> cody, in a terminal, gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
[17:08] <rs0832> KM0201, yep
[17:08] <ePirat> maco: dont know... maybe you can write me a upstart script? (i am not so good a this things...)
[17:08] <bluezone> IsmAvatar, yeah, i'm still looking for why, because i was able to run this on my celeron with 512 mB of ram, perhaps it was an earlier version though
[17:08] <maco> ePirat: ive never done it before either
[17:08] <feanor2> how to substract one text file from another?
[17:09] <Rypervenche> Is doing "checkinstall" the same thing as doing "make install" ? Will anything be different in the installation process? I'm compiling a program, but I'm not sure which to do. Will any of the instructions in the installation file be overlooked if I use checkinstall?
[17:09] <ePirat> Someone here wrote a working upstart script and can help me with it?
[17:09] <sacarlson> ePirat:  I think it might still work but you can also use cron @reboot to start things at boot time
[17:09] <KM0201> !checkinstall | Rypervenche
[17:09] <bluezone> IsmAvatar,  if you don't want to add any ram i would say use Xubuntu lol
[17:09] <maco> ePirat: http://upstart.at/2010/12/08/events-are-like-signals/ maybe help?
[17:10] <xpop> ciao
[17:10] <bluezone> KM0201, haha i never knew you could do that, interesting :)
[17:10] <StaRetji> Is there a way to fake EDID sent from monitor. I have Ubuntu on ARM and it seems that it can display only max res sent by edid.
[17:10] <sacarlson> ePirat: upstart is another solution I've just never used it
[17:10] <xpop> /irc.oceanirc.net/oce@n-music
[17:10] <Rypervenche> KM0201: WHen it says wrapper, does that mean that it uses make install and does the extra things?
[17:10] <KM0201> rs0832: still not convinced that will fix it though, because like i said, i updated mine to another server, but my source list still shows the same as his.
[17:10] <feanor2> StaRetji, via xorg.conf
[17:10] <ePirat> sacarlson: cron doesnt worked for me either...
[17:10] <rs0832> KM0201, o.0 another server?
[17:10] <KM0201> Rypervenche: did you read the link?
[17:10] <sacarlson> ePirat: why is that?
[17:10] <KM0201> rs0832: yes, thats wha ti was saying
[17:10] <rs0832> KM0201, you mean the local oneS?
[17:10] <DooDah> hi, all, I need serious help! i can't install ubuntu, fedoro or even boot live backtrack, now i've downoloaded alternative ubu, boot it from usb, and i see somoething like boot\ vesamenu.c32 is not kernel image...
[17:10] <gsfai> Whats the fastest way to install grub?
[17:10] <bluezone> IsmAvatar, or the netbook edition, i guess anything listed there that you like the most xD
[17:10] <KM0201> no, i changed to a completely differnt server.. starts w/ rtc
[17:11] <rs0832> KM0201, oh no.. im talking about his dns server
[17:11] <ePirat> sacarlson: dont know... can I pm you?
[17:11] <KM0201> oh.. sorry.. i thought you were talking about his source server
[17:11] <IsmAvatar> bluezone: thanks for the advice. I'll look into it. But I think I'll add more ram, because I am a programmer, so I do tend to be resource-demanding.
[17:11] <sacarlson> ePirat: sure
[17:11] <rs0832> KM0201, you are right, there are no local servers for the ubuntu extras
[17:11] <bluezone> IsmAvatar, C ?
[17:11] <cody> so if the resolv.conf says what it says as pasted in http://paste.ubuntu.com/548575/ would it be a problem?
[17:11] <Mayank> Hello, i am planning to install Ubuntu server edition on a server, i just want to know if i can run vmware or any other virtualization software? or do i need desktop edition only for that?
[17:11] <rs0832> KM0201, it's ok :)
[17:11] <gsfai> rs0832: i finished reinstalling, but forgot to install grub, now i get an ERROR 15 on boot
[17:11] <rs0832> gsfai, you can do it from a live cd , i guess
[17:11] <Rypervenche> KM0201: Touché. Thank you very much :)
[17:11] <gsfai> rs0832: which is kinda weird, it means that grub is there, but not configured
[17:11] <IsmAvatar> bluezone: primarily Java and Swing right now. Wish I could work with C all the time.
[17:11] <gsfai> rs0832: i am from a live cd ;P
[17:12] <rs0832> gsfai, try a grub-install from there
[17:12] <bluezone> IsmAvatar, aww, i always need people to answer my C question lmao
[17:12] <rs0832> cody, now in that file,
[17:12] <StrangeWind> how can you not install grub doing the setup?
[17:12] <DysteR> Does someone know with package you have to have or what is the effect that the guy is using in this video ???
[17:12] <gsfai> rs0832: yes but what device should i choose?
[17:12] <DysteR> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWLA5Fw5gAY
[17:12] <FloodBot2> DysteR: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:12] <cody> yes?
[17:12] <StrangeWind> I would start from scratch and try again
[17:12] <IsmAvatar> bluezone: I'm pretty good at C as well. You should check out ##c
[17:12] <maco> ePirat: since its an irc server you might want it to start on networking rather than just at the right runlevel
[17:12] <gsfai> rs0832: i have 4 partitions, XP, ubuntu, data (mostly backups) and swap
[17:13] <rs0832> cody, change nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> to nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:13] <rs0832> gsfai, hmm.. your boot would normally be the first one , i think
[17:13] <StrangeWind> I unhook all my drives but the one I plan on installing ubuntu or whatever distro on
[17:13] <gsfai> ok so sda1?
[17:13] <rs0832> cody, if this doesnt work, feel free to change it back :)
[17:13] <piercedw_> when you get a minute, will u see if this make sense to you: http://pastebin.com/XtkUH9AL I get that when trying to run gnome on ubuntu 10.10
[17:13] <KM0201> StrangeWind: why would you do that?
[17:13] <rs0832> cody, now save the file and try to update
[17:13] <gsfai> gsfai: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).
[17:14] <gsfai> did i just nickalert myself?
[17:14] <bluezone> IsmAvatar, yeah they always make fun of me there :)
[17:14] <StrangeWind> because its easier
[17:14] <KM0201> gsfai: irc while tired.. done it myself
[17:14] <rs0832> gsfai, :)
[17:14] <StrangeWind> after the install I then hook up all the drives
[17:14] <IsmAvatar> bluezone: I know, C developers tend to get a little caustic
[17:14] <vychune> hello
[17:14] <KM0201> StrangeCharm: then why are you here?.. it's not easier, because you're gonna have to go back throug, edit out grub2, manually add windows xp.. i'm not sure where you got its easier
[17:14] <gsfai> rs0832: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).
[17:14] <heiko> i'm wondering how to run a gnome applet in ubuntu netbook remix?
[17:14] <gsfai> rs0832: any ideas on this?
[17:15] <StrangeWind> use ubuntu tweaku and then redo my grub
[17:15] <StrangeWind> it sees all my drives and I dont loose any of my other OSes
[17:15] <KM0201> StrangeCharm: if it was 'easier' it would be the recommended way to dual boot on Ubuntu.com
[17:15] <cody> hmmm, no error with apt-get, now to try update for errors
[17:15] <Rypervenche> where do compiled debs go on Ubuntu after you do checkinstall? What folder exactly?
[17:15] <KM0201> Rypervenche: its probably in /home
[17:15] <rs0832> gsfai, hmm
[17:16] <rs0832> gsfai, do you know which is your boot partition?
[17:16] <bluezone> Rypervenche, probably in home but wait ill try it with my program
[17:16] <xxiao> deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty multiverse ; if i add this to sources.list, will that overlap with my 10.04 packages?
[17:16] <xxiao> i need that line to get java5 to 10.04
[17:17] <gsfai> rs0832: sda1
[17:17] <xxiao> jaunty and lucid may have the same packages in multiverse, will that addition cause any trouble
[17:17] <vychune> Hi everyone. My computer refuses to act right with Cube games. they keep going out of frequency
[17:17] <rs0832> gsfai, ok 1 sec ill tell you what to do
[17:17] <cody> looks like it worked, thanks!
[17:17] <gsfai> thanks :)
[17:17] <ubuntu__> Admin2005Marti
[17:17] <rs0832> cody, great:)
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> xxiao: they will be built differently, I don't advise mixing packages between releases
[17:18] <rs0832> KM0201, :) experience with a cruddy isp
[17:18] <KM0201> rs0832: lol.. apparently.. never been there unfortunately
[17:18] <rs0832> KM0201, yes and you dont want to.. trust me ;)
[17:18] <xxiao> ActionParsnip: thanks. maybe it's safer to just grab those java5 packages to dpkg -i in this case?
[17:18] <KM0201> rs0832: man, he didn't waste no time getting out of here after it was fixed
[17:18] <KM0201> lol
[17:19] <rs0832> KM0201, haha yea..
[17:19] <DysteR>  how can I move the windows from one desktop to another from the WALL with the mouse ??? Ubuntu 10.10
[17:19] <gsfai> rs0832: its kinda weird though, because the installation said that it actively failed to install grub
[17:20] <gsfai> rs0832: and asked me to try and do it myself if i think it suck
[17:20] <rs0832> gsfai, o.0 yes really weird
[17:20] <vychune> anyone
[17:21] <vychune> ?????????????
[17:21] <soreau> DysteR: If you have wall enabled, you should be able to drag windows between viewports by moving them to the edge of the screen
[17:21] <gsfai> also, none on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
[17:21] <StrangeCharm> KM0201, your autocomplete needs some work
[17:21] <KM0201> StrangeCharm: huh?
[17:21] <piercedw_> When I try to start gone in 10.10, I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/XtkUH9AL
[17:21] <zero07> ciao
[17:21] <piercedw_> gone = gnome
[17:21] <StrangeCharm> KM0201, you were naming me when you meant someone else
[17:21] <feanor2> lol it was fgrep
[17:21] <DysteR> no no , I want to be able to do it after you press CTRL ALT DOWN just clicking on the window and dragging it to different desktops
[17:21] <Rypervenche> bluezone , KM0201: Well I just wanted to make sure it's not in the source code folder, because I want to delete that. I don't think I would be able to remove it with dpkg if I didn't have the deb package...
[17:21] <KM0201> StrangeCharm: well, then you two need unique names..lol
[17:22] <soreau> DysteR: You can do it with Expo and rotate or wall but not with unfold cube (ctrl+alt+down)
[17:22] <KM0201> Rypervenche: well, did you find it?
[17:22] <StrangeCharm> KM0201, yes, it's definitely my fault that someone else has a name that shares the first few characters with mine
[17:22] <KM0201> StrangeCharm: agreed
[17:22] <DysteR> just saw a guy doing it on youtube but I think he is using KDE
[17:23] <Rypervenche> KM0201: I have seen a folder with a ton of debs that have been installed using dpkg, but I can't find it. And I know when I installed qq from a deb package it wasn't moved to that folder.
[17:23] <DysteR> EXPO ??? lemme try
[17:24] <Amtrask> Hello, I installed a proprietary wireless driver since Ubuntu didn't have it by default. Now, the wireless card works when I type in "sudo depmod <driver name>", but when I restart the computer that driver is not loaded by default. How can I change this?
[17:24] <rs0832> gsfai, ok
[17:24] <DysteR> Allright thanX soreau
[17:24] <rs0832> gsfai, shall we install?
[17:24] <gsfai> rs0832: yep?!
[17:25] <rs0832> gsfai, k.. first do fdisk -l in a terminal
[17:25] <gsfai> LOL i didnt know you could do it this way
[17:25] <gsfai> i did `fdisk` and then 'l'
[17:25] <rs0832> gsfai, :)
[17:25] <gsfai> ok so /dev/sda1 is the bootable
[17:25] <rs0832> gsfai, and ubuntu right?
[17:25] <gsfai> which is XP
[17:26] <rs0832> gsfai, and ubuntu?
[17:26] <gsfai>  /dev/sda6           54818       60288    43945776   83  Linux
[17:26] <gsfai> nope!
[17:26] <gsfai> ubuntu isnt bootable
[17:26] <rs0832> gsfai, ah ok
[17:26] <adv_> anyone know of an app that can read .epub files?
[17:26] <maco> adv_: calibre
[17:26] <maco> adv_: it can sync with kindles, nooks, etc. too
[17:26] <adv_> maco, other than that?
[17:27] <adv_> or a converter to pdf?
[17:27] <maco> adv_: okular can. its the usual pdf reader in kde. id be surprised if evince couldnt too
[17:27] <gsfai> rs0832: you should note that i actually get a  grub error message, which means that grub is somewhere out there
[17:28] <rs0832> gsfai, yes.
[17:28] <rs0832> gsfai, can you pastebin the output of sudo blkid?
[17:28] <adv_> maco, evince cant
[17:28] <skorv> installed bind9 now i have no internet
[17:28] <skorv> not here obviously
[17:28] <maco> adv_: try okular then
[17:29] <StaRetji> feanor2: thx for reply man, can you be more specific please. I tried googling for the solution, but could find any. Thx
[17:29] <gsfai> rs0832: http://gsfai.pastebin.com/4R4CnaFx
[17:29] <adv_> maco ok thanks
[17:30] <langvann> rooks: if i cant alter the attributes on the nfs now, the OS would be unusable
[17:31] <rs0832> gsfai, so we install it to sda6
[17:31] <gsfai> yep!
[17:31] <rs0832> gsfai, so mount sda6 to /mnt
[17:31] <rs0832> gsfai, sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
[17:32] <gsfai> done
[17:32] <Praxi> can anyone tell me on ubuntu server how to use wget to download a file off of sourceforge? everytime I try I just get the mirror link, not the actual file.
[17:32] <rs0832> gsfai, k
[17:32] <rs0832> gsfai, now sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda
[17:33] <rs0832> gsfai, that will install grub and install the mbr on sda, which is your first hd
[17:33] <gsfai> Installation finished. No error reported.
[17:33] <rs0832> gsfai, great so now boot :)
[17:33] <anon33_> why do some people use nouveau as a video card driver? what are the benefits?
[17:33] <rs0832> *reboot
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> Praxi: just rename the file you download, it will be fine
[17:34] <rs0832> anon33_, maybe their cards have problems with the other drivers
[17:34] <anon33_> rs0832: well, it's made for nvidia video cards so...
[17:34] <gsfai> rs0832: before i go, offtopic too, but take a look at this http://gsfai.pastebin.com/0rfRqi9V -- is this a common linux ''feuture'' ?
[17:34] <cptblood> yea, and total crap compared to nvidias own driver
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> anon33_: some older chips like it, the proprietary driver may cause issues with hibernate / suspend
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> anon33_: if 3D accelleration is not needed, but suspend is desired, the open driver is obviously the better choice
[17:35] <rs0832> gsfai, remember you have mounted the drive to /mnt
[17:35] <hblount> hi. r updates very important or should i only get them if i have a problem?
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> cptblood: not in all cases
[17:35] <cptblood> when you need vdpau, it is
[17:35] <cptblood> :p
[17:35] <rs0832> gsfai, you can use umount to unmount it
[17:35] <gsfai> rs0832: yeah but its kinda weird, ls showed nothing, until i cd'ed out and back in
[17:35] <Amtrask> Hello, I installed a proprietary wireless driver since Ubuntu didn't have it by default. Now, the wireless card works when I type in "sudo depmod <driver name>", but when I restart the computer that driver is not loaded by default. How can I change this?
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> cptblood: if the only use of the PC is word processing (like in an office) its not needed is it....
[17:36] <celthunder> Amtrask, add it to modprobe.d
[17:36] <fleischwolf> hi, i want to extract all the figures of a pdf file to single PDF(!)s each figure in one file. how can i do that ? pdfimages doesn't do the trick
[17:36] <hblount> hi. what is the most popular mmorpg on for linux?
[17:36] <cptblood> ofc not, but why cant the nvidia driver be integrated instead?
[17:36] <gsfai> anyway reboot time!
[17:36] <rs0832> gsfai, yes.. no idea about that though.. but if it doesnt give you trouble, dont worry bout it
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> cptblood: its proprietary, so cannot be included
[17:36] <Amtrask> celtthunder thank you!
[17:36] <rs0832> gsfai, good luck

[17:37] <cptblood> ActionParsnip: but nouveau is making it harder to install nvidia's own now
[17:37] <ntsrtrs> Hi.  I am trying to use the live CD (v10.10) but it just hangs.  No error msg, can just see a purple background and the cursor.  Anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong?
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> cptblood: never had an issue myself, you can always remove it and you will use the nv driver, you can then install the proprietary as you wish
[17:38] <rooks> langvann, there might be some uid-login issues that prohibit you from properly transferring stuff, your nfs might not know about all of your gid/uid and user names, which will make  all things break
[17:38] <bluezone> ntsrtrs, just wait, it is slow
[17:38] <anon33_> is there a way to specify which distro you want to use when using 'apt-get install'?
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> ntsrtrs: use the boot option, nomodeset   in the F6 menu
[17:38] <cptblood> ActionParsnip: then i need a smart way of removing it, always puzzles me
[17:38] <fleischwolf> anon33_ you have to edit your sources
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> anon33_: I'm guessing you mean desktop. not distro. Ubuntu will always be the distro
[17:38] <langvann> rooks: I'm not sure how to fix it.   I haven't been presented with any any menu at all...
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> cptblood: use software centre or apt-get etc
[17:39] <anon33_> ActionParsnip: i apologize. i mean saying 'natty' when i'm really using 'maverick'
[17:39] <Praxi> thank you ActionParsnip that worked (renaming the file)
[17:39] <cptblood> only on cli, can u gimme the apt-get cmd?
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> ntsrtrs: when you see the stick man screen, press space bar
[17:39] <rooks> langvann, just tar whole root, ftp it to server, and untar it there, it will work, it did so for me
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> anon33_: then ask in #ubuntu+1   natty isn't supported or discussed here. If you want natty, you will need to download it and instal it
[17:40] <langvann> rooks: I dont doutb it will work. But If i cant change permissions on the nfs, i wont be able to boot the OS.
[17:40] <ntsrtrs> ActionParsnip: What stick man screen?  This is the first screen I have seen since being presented with 'boot from cd'.  thanks
[17:40] <langvann> No creating files, no adding users, no nothing
[17:40] <rooks> langvann, lemme check on what perimissions i have on nfs
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> Praxi: np bro, you can use the -o switch (I think) to auto-rename the file ;)
[17:41] <Araneidae> I have a network attached scanner, but unfortunately xsane doesn't know where to find it (
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> ntsrtrs: when you see a screen with a man and a keyboard at the bottom of the screen
[17:41] <rs0832> ntsrtrs, press escape.. does any error show up?
[17:41] <fleischwolf> *bump* i want to extract all the figures of a pdf file to single PDF(!)s each figure in one file. how can i do that ? pdfimages doesn't do the trick
[17:41] <Araneidae> The scanner is a Samsung integrated printer; how do I get xsane (or ssomething similar) to use it
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> Araneidae: can you ping the printer?
[17:42] <pep`> Hellow :)
[17:42] <nadn> hey guys, quick q.  i think i missed something on apt.  i have desktop edition -- multitouch laptop -- i want to try out unity with touch screen.  apt'd ubuntu-netbook and unity.  it loads to the wall paper and only alt control delete works (and alt ctrl f1  sudo gdm restart)
[17:42] <rooks> langvann, i have this entry in /etc/exports → /srv/nfs        <IP_ADDRESS>(rw,async,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash) lappy.lan(rw,async,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)
[17:42] <Araneidae> ActionParsnip, sure, it works perfectly well
[17:42] <Araneidae> I can print too ;)
[17:42] <ntsrtrs> Have pressend Esc but it does nothing.  The cursor still keeps alternating between a pointer and the loading icon
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> Araneidae: what model?
[17:42] <Araneidae> I tried `xsane http://printer` but that didn't work
[17:42] <rs0832> ntsrtrs, press ctrl - alt - f1
[17:42] <Araneidae> CLX-3170
[17:42] <pep`> how can I see the sample size of an mp3 file on linux? I know dbpoweramp does that nicely on windows, but on Linux I only seem to be able to see sample rate...
[17:42] <Araneidae> Samsung
[17:43] <pep`> any ideas?
[17:43] <langvann> rooks: I will try changing
[17:43] <source> \j #brasil
[17:43] <[[cg]alloc]init]> hey there... Any Enterprise Cloud gurus out there?
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> Araneidae: did you get the linux driver from the samsung site?
[17:44] <Araneidae> ActionParsnip, I've got the samsungmfp-scanner package installed
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> pep`: mencoder can tell you
[17:44] <Araneidae> No, I installed from ... let me find out ...
[17:44] <pep`> Thank you ActionParsnip, I will try that out!
[17:44] <rs0832> ntsrtrs, does any error show up with ctrl alt f1?
[17:44] <ntsrtrs> rs0832: It is now writing error codes to the screen.  'SQUASHFS' then some codes.  Do you know what this means?  thanks
[17:44] <Araneidae> ActionParsnip, http://www-personal.umich.edu/~tjwatt/suldr
[17:45] <elyos> how do i disable the middle-click emulation when i push both mouse buttons?
[17:45] <rs0832> ntsrtrs, can you give me a bit more of the error?
[17:45] <ricoshady> is there a good place to paste images, like pastebin?
[17:45] <Araneidae> Oh, that doesn't look right anymore
[17:45] <rs0832> !screenshot
[17:45] <mpgutta> hi how to install postgresql9.0 on ubuntu 8.04
[17:45] <rs0832> !screenshot > ricoshady
[17:45] <Araneidae> However, I have upgrade Ubuntu since then, and the printer's been working just fine
[17:46] <Araneidae> Hmm.  The samsungmfp-scanner drivers seem orphaned now :(
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> Araneidae: may help: http://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-xerox_mfp.5.html
[17:46] <ricoshady> thanks....
[17:47] <ricoshady> anyone with an idea of what these console errors may mean? http://imagebin.org/130082
[17:47] <ntsrtrs> rs0832: Yes - "SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block e3c847f, size 1c917".  The next line then says "unable to read fragment cache entry [e3c847f]"
[17:47] <ntsrtrs> the 2 lines just keep repeating...
[17:47] <rs0832> ntsrtrs, hmm id say your disc is damaged
[17:47] <piercedw_> When I try to start gnome in 10.10, I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/XtkUH9AL anyone? :(
[17:47] <rs0832> ntsrtrs, did you md5 check it?
[17:47] <Araneidae> ActionParsnip, that's a back end; do I somehow tell xsane to use it?
[17:48] <Araneidae> Or do you think I need to try and find more up to date versions of my drivers and update them?
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> Araneidae: once you get the backend going, xsane should be ok
[17:48] <ntsrtrs> rs0832: No.  Should I check the iso file or the CD?  How do I go about this in Win7? thanks
[17:49] <Ryein> I am trying to setup a newsletter server and I was hoping some one could point me to a ubuntu centered tutorial
[17:49] <rs0832> ntsrtrs, you can download an md5 checker (md5summer.org) and check the iso.. and burn the disc at slower speed
[17:49] <Araneidae> ActionParsnip, sorry to be dim, but I can't see which package carries sane-xerox_mfp, and I don't seem to have it installed yet
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> Araneidae: sounds like you have a direction to run with :)
[17:50] <rs0832> ntsrtrs, check the iso and the cd once you reach the boot screen (the test disc for defects option)
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> Araneidae: seems to be libsane
[17:50] <rs0832> ntsrtrs, i have to go now, so good luck... if you still have a problem, feel free to come back to the channel and ask :)
[17:50] <Araneidae> or probably libsane-extras; don't have that one
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> Araneidae: dpkg -S sane-xerox_mfp    shows you what package a file is in
[17:51] <Araneidae> Only if I have the package installed ...
[17:51] <ntsrtrs> rs0832: thanks for your help
[17:51] <rs0832> ntsrtrs, :) y/w
[17:51] <bencc> where should I save a package temp date like images cache?
[17:51] <ricoshady> anyone have ideas on those console errors, what they might mean? http://imagebin.org/130082
[17:51] <Araneidae> Drat.  Wasn't in libsane extras either
[17:51] <pep`> ActionParsnip, you don't happen to know how mencoder can show the sample size of an mp3 file? I can't find an entry in the manual... http://tivo-mplayer.sourceforge.net/docs/mplayer-man.html
[17:52] <pep`> Also I don't see many analysis options to be honest.
[17:53] <jNovice> hi, I want to add VPN connection in gnome-network-manager but button "Add" is inactive. Could anbyody help?
[17:54] <Mannyuel> how can i get my network sensors to work? im trying to get my conky to work
[17:54] <Mannyuel> im on a laptop
[17:54] <langvann> rooks: Hey, it works
[17:54] <Fr4gg0r> is there a channel for gaming in vmware?
[17:55] <Fr4gg0r> with 3d acceleration enabled, screen is flickering, withoug game does not start :(
[17:56] <langvann> Fr4gg0r: I Think you should just use wine
[17:56] <langvann> Linux isnt really an os to game in
[17:56] <mpgutta> hi. could anyone please tell me how to install postgresql9.0 on ubuntu 8.04, i could not find apt- package for the same.
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> pep`: mencoder -list-properties  filename
[17:56] <langvann> alle games are made for windows, and will always - no matter what - work better in windows
[17:56] <jay_> try play on linux
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> langvann: disagree, Doom3 runs bautifully. Penumbra and UrbanTerror are native and great
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | mpgutta
[17:57] <pep`> oh thanks you! that was not in the man it seems...
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> mpgutta: someone may have packaged it for Hardy
[17:57] <bastidrazor> Mannyuel: there is an #conky channel, there quite good at getting things to work
[17:57] <YamaIRC> hi
[17:57] <langvann> ActionParsnip: if a game can run natively on linux. This is true.
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> pep`: http://linux.die.net/man/1/mencoder    and read
[17:57] <rooks> langvann, sweet :)
[17:57] <bastidrazor> their too
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> langvann: postal2 runs great too :)
[17:58] <bastidrazor> they're rather :|
[17:58] <langvann> But if a game is made natively for windows. You will always have to change hw adresses, this will make you loose performance.
[17:58] <langvann> ActionParsnip: But it runs BETTER on windows.
[17:58] <rooks> langvann, be careful on whom you give that share, since its totally unsecure
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> langvann: in some cases games can run better
[17:58] <FREMAPESUA> Hello everyone
[17:58] <aeon-ltd> hi
[17:58] <langvann> ActionParsnip: How?
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> langvann: but sure, hardcore gamers are better dualbooting
[17:58] <langvann> rooks: I know, i have a nazi firewall up
[17:59] <pep`> ActionParsnip, it's under "PLAYER OPTIONS (MPLAYER ONLY)", I guess that was why I didn't find it, since you talked about mencoder...
[17:59] <YamaIRC> hi ppls
[17:59] <langvann> and the internal network is the only one able to access the share
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> langvann: if some games use 100% proper opengl stuffs and such they generally run better, counterstrike runs better under linux than windows
[17:59] <mic> HI
[17:59] <mic> I AM NEW HERE
[17:59] <YamaIRC> nifty
[17:59] <goltoof> !caps
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> pep`: (17:44:14) ActionParsnip: pep`: mencoder can tell you   ...Thought it was quite clear
[18:00] <mic> TOO MANY PEPOLE BE HERE
[18:00] <Pici> !offtopic
[18:00] <Pawmaniac> anyway to turn off bot messages?
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> mic: kill the caps please
[18:00] <livingdaylight> installed ubuntu on laptop but wireless is not working out of the box. Do I need to install something?
[18:00] <pep`> no it wasn't, sorry :) you specifically said mencoder, and it's not, it's mplayer. I installed mencoder, and now I'm installing mplayer.
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> Pawmaniac: the bot is triggered by users
[18:00] <mic> ok
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> livingdaylight: if you run: sudo lshw -C network   you will be shown your wireless chip. You can use the product line to find guides
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> mic: thanks
[18:01]  * NotAnonymous test
[18:01] <Pawmaniac> just tired of all the ... has joined ubuntu messages...
[18:01] <pep`> Pawmaniac, you can turn that off in your client.
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> pep`: the command you need is an option in mencoder, I then found the option for you in the man page of mencoder. Mplayer may be a dep of the install but its not hugely needed for what you want
[18:02] <pep`> -list-properties is not an MEncoder option
[18:02] <Ryein> I am trying to setup a newsletter server and I was hoping some one could point me to a ubuntu centered tutorial
[18:02] <pep`> I tried it :)
[18:03] <vectory> Ryein: try a linux centered one if u cant find one for U
[18:03] <Pawmaniac> i looked again and did not see an option for that
[18:04] <spencer> morning-erm, afternoon guys. Anyone need any general troubleshooting?
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> pep`: try:   mencoder -msglevel identify=6  filename
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> Pawmaniac: what client are you using?
[18:05] <Pawmaniac> xchat for gnome
[18:05] <Pici> Ryein: I'm not sure we know what a newsletter server is, perhaps if you explained better we could provide better help.
[18:05] <Pawmaniac> im lazy and wanted a gui
[18:05] <DysteR> does anyone in here uses NQuake  ???
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> Pawmaniac: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=417131
[18:05] <KM0201> Pawmaniac: but xchat-gnome?   go w/ the full xchat client..lol
[18:06] <Pawmaniac> but I want to learn bash
[18:06] <Ryein> Pici i want to be able to send out newsletters i hope to have a lot of subscribers
[18:06] <Pawmaniac> and thanks, i will get the full version
[18:06] <mpgutta> ActionParsnip: i found this ppa for Lucid and Maverick at https://launchpad.net/~pitti/+archive/postgresql but couldnt get one for Hardy
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> Pawmaniac: if you are happy with what you have, keep it
[18:06] <pep`> no, that's not right at all, it's expecting a video file, and returns a video file too...
[18:06] <Araneidae> ActionParsnip, I've been digging around, and it seems I do have sane-xerox_mfp installed ... but it's a library, which is why I couldn't run it.  Unfortunately I haven't got a clue *how* to use it; can you give me any pointers, please?
[18:06] <pep`> nevermind, I will figure this out.
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> Araneidae: no idea, I only buy HP which work flawlessly
[18:07] <pep`> now to remove mplayer and mencoder...
[18:07] <cutout> I have a remote ubuntu server, I did restart it but now I can not login to it using ssh or telnet even both are installed, I can ping it. is there another way to login to it remoty?
[18:07] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  well some work flawlessy :)  It always pays to research.
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> mpgutta: no other ppa has it?
[18:07] <Araneidae> Ah.  And the /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf file only lists usb devices, which is unpromising
[18:08] <langvann> rooks: Holy CRAP. how much is there to copy  ?:P This should take a while.
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: always, its all I buy though. Good support gets my moneys
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> cutout:  not that ive seen. Unless you got some sort of web interface to admin it.
[18:08] <rooks> langvann, du -H on your from machine will give you some idea :)
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  i am impressed with this $99 wireless laser 'brother' i got a few mo back.
[18:08] <mpgutta> ActionParsnip: it seems Martin Pitt is the guy who maintains postgresql packages for ubuntu
[18:09] <cutout> Dr_Willis: even apache is installed but it won'y start unless I login to it!!
[18:09] <mpgutta> ActionParsnip: from his link i cant find for Hardy
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> cutout:  you got some bigger issues going on then im guessing.
[18:09] <maco> mpgutta: ubuntu doesnt have per-package maintainers
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> mpgutta: then i'd hit him up to see whats what.
[18:09] <cutout> Dr_Willis: the problem seems scripts in init.d start on login not on boot!!
[18:10] <PhonicUK> has anyone else had an issue under chrome where closing a tab causes all instances of flash in other times to die?
[18:10] <cutout> Dr_Willis: if I login to it all these services will start
[18:10] <mpgutta> ActionParsnip: so what are the otherways i can install postgres 9.0 on ubuntu 8.04?
[18:10] <cutout> Dr_Willis: do you have any idea how to fix this?
[18:11] <Araneidae> Anybody know how to connect to a network scanner?
[18:11] <Araneidae> Sorry, network image scanner?
[18:11] <langvann> How do you do it in windows?
[18:11] <Araneidae> Windows?
[18:11] <slide> Does anyone know how to get a key to be continually pressed down? I have a game that I need to "sneak" around which normally i have to hold the button but thats getting old lol. I want to be able to toggle it
[18:11] <langvann> You've had it connected in windows right?
[18:11] <Araneidae> No
[18:11] <maco> slide: put something heavy on it
[18:12] <slide> lol
[18:12] <langvann> Oh. Then google: model number + linux
[18:12] <slide> i thought about that but figured it too ghetto
[18:12] <ricoshady> anyone have ideas on those console errors, what they might mean? http://imagebin.org/130082
[18:12] <langvann> ricoshady: thats a debug
[18:12] <langvann> wine?
[18:12] <sam-_-> is there sth. "like" timemachine  http://www.apple.com/macosx/what-is-macosx/time-machine.html for ubuntu?
[18:13] <Pawmaniac> also is there a way to move a window from monitor to monitor(dual monitors) from  your panel?
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> mpgutta: not sure dude, Hardy dies in April so an upgrade may be in order
[18:13] <livingdaylight> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/548588/
[18:14] <Pawmaniac> or force programs to open on your default monitor?
[18:14] <maco> ActionParsnip: only on desktop....
[18:14] <Araneidae> Looks like sane-net(5) might be closer to the mark...
[18:14] <langvann> Pawmaniac: Install the drivers for your video card.
[18:14] <livingdaylight> Looks like intel 3945 wifi but don't know where to go from here ActionParsnip
[18:14] <mpgutta> ActionParsnip: ok sure.  i will try that.
[18:14] <Pawmaniac> did so along time ago.
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> Pawmaniac: i think devilspie can do that, you can confiure it easier with gdevilspie on googlecode
[18:14] <Pawmaniac> thats not the problem
[18:14] <mpgutta> ActionParsnip: so you mean no support for 8.04 from april?
[18:14] <nowisn> hello is there a channel for ubuntu server??
[18:15] <maco> mpgutta: on desktop, yes
[18:15] <Pawmaniac> its that i cannot always use that second monitor

[18:15] <mpgutta> maco: what about ubuntu server?
[18:15] <mrFrog123> Hey all. I've had dual booting w/ Ubuntu & WIndows 7 working for a while. Recently I installed Ubuntu again in addition to these. How do I remove my newest installation? (I don't need two ubuntu installations)
[18:15] <langvann> Pawmaniac: The tool for you grapichs card will allow you to set up twinview, allowing you to move windows between your monitors seamlessly
[18:15] <maco> mpgutta: 2013
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> mpgutta: unless you installed hardy erver
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> *server
[18:15] <nowisn> would like to know how i can save all my data from a windows home server thats causing great grief over to ubuntu server?
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> mrFrog123:  if you delete the old isntalls partitions and rerun update-grub - it should just show the 1
[18:16] <Pawmaniac> i can already do so if i can actually see whats on that monitor, which i cannot always use.
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> mrFrog123: you can simply remove the old kernel package
[18:16] <mrFrog123> Dr_Willis: ok how do I do that?
[18:16] <maco> nowisn: use putty on windows to sftp it to ubuntu?

[18:16] <DasEi> nowisn: fastest via usb
[18:16] <slide> thanks vectory
[18:17] <langvann> Pawmaniac: Oh. Then use the tool to set up your primary monitor, or disconnect the monitor you cant use.
[18:17] <DasEi> nowisn: local or remote ?
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> mpgutta: i'd contact martin, see what he says
[18:17] <ricoshady> langvann, its a rackspace cloud server
[18:17] <vectory> Pawmaniac: do u have an nvidia card?
[18:17] <mpgutta> ActionParsnip: thank you so much!
[18:18] <Pawmaniac> the problem is that sometimes a window will open on my second monitor, which is off, then i can use that window
[18:18] <Pawmaniac> no ATI
[18:18] <Pawmaniac> i have CCC
[18:18] <vectory> ati's support on linux sux i heard
[18:18] <subz3r0> it does!
[18:18] <mrFrog123> Dr_Willis: I see System->Administration->Disk Utility, but how do I know which partition to remove?
[18:18] <aeon-ltd> vectory: yes, but its evolving
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> livingdaylight: ok if you run:  sudo iwlist scan    do you find access points?   If you run:   rfkill list   is the wireless blocked in any way?
[18:19] <leello> can anyone please tell me how to compress files with the terminal
[18:19] <Pawmaniac> CCC isn't too bad works about as good as it does on windows
[18:19] <vectory> tar czvf FILE
[18:19] <vectory> leello: ^
[18:19] <Pawmaniac> actually crashes less
[18:19] <mrFrog123> Anyone know how I can tell which partitions have windows or ubuntu on it (I have two ubuntu installs and need to delete the correct one)
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> leello: http://www.thedumbterminal.co.uk/php/knowledgebase/?action=view&id=3
[18:19] <tripelb> I wish the gchat window had a smaller "minimum" size. I want to make it thinner as 2 windows share my screen.
[18:20] <nowisn> data is on a pc in the base running whs, would like to leave the hardware config as is as there is about 3 terabytes on data on the spanned drives, do i need to ftp all that data somewhere else, cause if i install ubuntu it'll just wipe off the drive
[18:20] <DasEi> mrFrog123: sudo fdisk -l
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> mrFrog123: sudo parted -l     will tell you
[18:20] <leello> thanks a lot

[18:20] <tripelb> mrFrog boot from one and then you will know. oh ActionParsnip I'm going to try that.
[18:20] <Pawmaniac> mrfrog123: or use gparted to label them
[18:21] <abe> hello everyone.  I have a problem with my sound.  I can't hear anything. any help
[18:21] <mrFrog123> Ok I ran some of those - how do I know which linux partition is which?
[18:21] <DasEi> !sound | abe
[18:21] <vectory> abe: check soundlevels with alsamixer
[18:21] <mpgutta> ActionParsnip: i have run "uname -a" to know whether i am running server or desktop. here is the output "Linux ialeia 2.6.18-xen #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 06:40:50 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux" so is this server or desktop?
[18:22] <DasEi> abe: install alsamixergui, check if unmuted first
[18:22] <tripelb> mrFrog123, I see that just shows what kind of partition it is. You can boot from one. How else?  Look for a file you know is on one.
[18:22] <abe> @vectory and DasEi I don't have alsa install in 10.04, I will install now
[18:22] <nowisn> maybe I should just go buy two 2 terabyte drives and move all the data over to them internally as i have extra satas
[18:22] <vectory> DasEi, abe: u dont need fui for that
[18:22] <vectory> gui*
[18:22] <sam___> anyone have any issues with 3G (3) dongles.  I can only get it to work if i run vbox and then select usb. then in ubuntu it shows up.
[18:22] <tripelb> nowisn, nice to get the eq you want.
[18:23] <sam___> is there a way down/up the usb ports
[18:23] <mrFrog123> Ok I think I know which partition to delete - but I need to do it from my other ubuntu installation.
[18:23] <Dr_Willis> sam___:  thats weird.. You installed what os/drivers in vbox? perhaps the thing needs some firmware uploaded to it befor it works.
[18:23] <mrFrog123> Then how do I update grub or whatever?
[18:23] <Dr_Willis> mrFrog123:  boot the OS you want to keep.   use update-grub
[18:23] <sam___> have not installed the 3g in vbox, just use it to access port
[18:24] <mic> ／whois sam___
[18:24] <sam___> am in 10.4 - basic
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> sam___: use usb-modeswitch
[18:24] <mrFrog123> Dr_Willis: So I just run "sudo update-grub"?
[18:24] <mic> who
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> mpgutta: not sure about the xen kernel.If you have a desktop with a mouse pointer and an X server and desktop icons, you are running the desktop OS
[18:25] <sam___> ActionParsnip: am noob.  what will this do for me?
[18:25] <sam___> vbox os is xp
[18:25] <lwizardl> Hi
[18:25] <mic> heihei
[18:25] <livingdaylight> Actisudo iwlist scan shows wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is downonParsnip,
[18:25] <mic> try the comand
[18:26] <livingdaylight> ActionParsnip, sudo iwlist scan shows wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
[18:26] <ntsrtrs> Can anyone suggest the best way of recovering some files from my previous XP installation?  I installed Ubuntu on the wrong partition accidentally (but it is a bad install and won't boot).  I am now running the live CD and realised I have lost all my music and pics etc!
[18:26] <mic> and you name is shorter
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> sam___: makes it appear as a modem, manufacturers have made windows users lives easier by having a storage of the driver on the stick which auto installs then the device flips to being a modem. Linux doesn't have this as it's not windows but a tool has been made to make the switch
[18:26] <CoolDude> Hi
[18:26] <Dr_Willis> mrFrog123:  yes. I would boot to the OS you want to keep.. run sudo update-grub, or 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' be sure THAT os installs grub to the mbr . then reboot.  make sure it works.. then  you can delete the pattitons for the other OS.
[18:26] <craigbass1976> Activex in ubuntu...  Am I out of luck?
[18:26] <CoolDude> I need some help related to Ubuntu ...?
[18:26] <mpgutta> ActionParsnip: we have hosting with slicehost. so probably it should be server.
[18:26] <nowisn> is there any way to install ubuntu server while keeping data on those drives?
[18:26] <craigbass1976> CoolDude, what's the problem?
[18:26] <Dr_Willis> craigbass1976:  wine supports some activex/directx stuff i thought.
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> livingdaylight: ok, reboot and login, then run:   dmesg | less     and read the boot, see if you get any errors or warnings with the wireless chip etc
[18:27] <mrFrog123> Ok thanks everyone I'll give it a try
[18:27] <sam___> ActionParsnip: cool, i have downloaded. how do i use or is it auto?
[18:27] <craigbass1976> Dr_Willis, I've read mixed reviews; didn't know if there were some secret "sure fire" way
[18:27] <CoolDude> i have Ubuntu 10.4 and want to upgrade it to  10.10 64-Bit...?   is it possible ?
[18:27] <Dr_Willis> craigbass1976:  tjeres Nothing surefire about windows.
[18:27] <Dr_Willis> CoolDude:  32bit to 64bit -> you reinstall.
[18:27] <craigbass1976> CoolDude, No; reinstall.  Two different animals
[18:27] <lwizardl> so I messed up a part in my install of ubuntu 10.10. my task bar at the bottom of the screen that displays all the open windows. How can I restore that function to a working status?
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> sam___: I'd read some guides. You can get started by running: lsusb   then websearch for the 8 character hex iD generated for the modem to find guides
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> !panelreset
[18:28] <CoolDude> No other way through  upgrade...?
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> lwizardl: ^
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> CoolDude: you will need to reinstall to change arch (32bit to 64bit)
[18:28] <Dr_Willis> CoolDude:  you dont upgrade from 32bit to 64bit.. plain and simple.
[18:28] <langvann> brb. testing Diskless ubuntu.
[18:29] <CoolDude> ok  :(
[18:29] <ntsrtrs> Hi.  Can anyone recommend a way to recover files deleted during a Ubuntu install please?
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> ntsrtrs: use your backups
[18:29] <CoolDude> Then i better continue with  32 Bit alone , I've  6 GB Ram and all of it , i am not able to use .....
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> CoolDude: install the PAE kernel and you can use up to 64Gb RAM in 32bit
[18:30] <ntsrtrs> ActionParsnip: unfortunately my back is incomplete - any other suggestions?!  I accept I may lose some data...
[18:30] <Halik> can i boot natty narwhal from USB?
[18:30] <PhonicUK> I thought that a PAE kernel was installed by default under 32-bit installs?
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> ntsrtrs: could try foremost
[18:30] <Dr_Willis> CoolDude:  i always use 64bit - even on machines with less then 4gb of ram
[18:30] <PhonicUK> ^ same here
[18:30] <Pawmaniac> oh wow, the full xchat is a lot better
[18:30] <CoolDude> OK
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> PhonicUK: it is in Lubuntu, the normal ubuntu desktop uses generic only
[18:31] <PhonicUK> the netbook remix seems to as well
[18:31] <CoolDude> Let me try that and tell you
[18:31] <maco> PhonicUK: only if you have 4gb of ram
[18:31] <PhonicUK> I installed it on my Eee (512MB) and it installed a PAE kernel
[18:31] <maco> PhonicUK: if you try to run a PAE kernel on a system thats over 5-6 years old, itll just kernel panic
[18:31] <maco> PhonicUK: so thatd be an icky thing to use as the default everywhere
[18:31] <PhonicUK> I suspect its just used on all systems that support it then
[18:32] <PhonicUK> this is the original Eee 701 I installed it on
[18:32] <nirazio> I have installed Virtual Box: Host OS Ubuntu 10.10 - Guest OS Windows XP. No problem so far.How can I access USB devices (scaners, printer, and others) from the guest os, windows XP.If this is not possible in the open source version maybe there is another virtualisation software program.
[18:32] <ntsrtrs> ActionParsnip: thanks - will give it a try
[18:32] <PhonicUK> nirazio, none of them allow it as far as I know
[18:32] <Dr_Willis> nirazio:  the OSE version cant.. the version you download from their web site can.
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> nirazio: you need the closed source vbox for USB support
[18:32] <PhonicUK> only the closed source version of VBox
[18:32] <CoolDude> OK
[18:33] <gsfai> i have 190 files in /boot/grub, but no menu.lst
[18:33] <gsfai> whats wrong?
[18:33] <maco> gsfai: how about grub.cfg?
[18:33] <PhonicUK> gsfai, do you have a grub.conf?
[18:34] <maco> gsfai: menu.lst was only in grub1. if youve got that many files, sounds like grub 2
[18:34] <gsfai> nope, none of those three
[18:34] <gsfai> yes its grub2
[18:34] <gsfai> :O no menu.lst? so where are the configurations?
[18:34] <Halik> Will universal usb installer work properly with 11.04 alpha?
[18:34] <maco> gsfai: those 190 files....
[18:34] <livingdaylight> ActionParsnip, remind me please? dmsg grep?
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> gsfai: grub2 doesnt use menu.lst
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> livingdaylight: dmesg | less
[18:35] <maco> gsfai: /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/* are where you set stuff
[18:35] <maco> gsfai: then you run "sudo update-grub" and a new /boot/grub/grub.cfg is generated
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> Halik: all natty talk is in #ubuntu+1
[18:35] <Halik> sorry, thx
[18:35] <langvann> rooks: It booted okey, until i got a kernel panic. "Not syncing"
[18:35] <gsfai> maco: i just installed grub, but it gets me into a single grub> shell
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> gsfai: to add boot options, you add them in /etc/default/grub  then run: sudo update-grub as maco stated
[18:36] <gsfai> i tried booting from there, but since i've never used it before, it dropped to a busybox
[18:36] <livingdaylight> ActionParsnip, what am I looking for?
[18:36] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | gsfai
[18:36] <abe> hi all, sound still not working
[18:36] <abe> !sound
[18:37] <Zazz_> Hi.
[18:37] <Zazz_> Is there any way I can set Mutter as the default window manager?
[18:37] <Zazz_> I have it installed and I could run mutter --replace at startup, but that doesn't seem like the best way to do it.
[18:38] <lwizardl> ActionParsnip, thank you that worked
[18:39] <Pawmaniac> back to what i meant to ask... do emulators run generally faster on linux?
[18:39] <rooks> langvann, do you have your initrd and kernel images in ur tftp server range?
[18:40] <Dr_Willis> Pawmaniac:   depends on the emulator.
[18:40] <langvann> rooks: I forgot, dhcp changes my IP, its not static
[18:40] <rooks> Pawmaniac, generally depends :P
[18:40] <langvann> I need to open up for my entire internal network
[18:40] <supercom32_> Does anyone know of a good video editing software for Ubuntu which allows you to add mosaics?
[18:40] <Dr_Willis> Pawmaniac:  when my C64 emulator can run at 10,000x normal C64 speed... its hard to really worry about if windows can do 10,002x speed :)
[18:40] <Pawmaniac> dolphin mainly
[18:41] <Dr_Willis> Pawmaniac:  you would have to just try it and see. Thats a very new and work in progress emulator.
[18:41] <Anubisss> How can I install a package from maverick to hardy?
[18:41] <Dr_Willis> Anubisss:  you dont want to mix release versions
[18:41] <Pawmaniac> yes... your right about that
[18:41] <Anubisss> nice
[18:41] <Dr_Willis> Anubisss:  it can break things BADLY
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> Anubisss: its not advised nor supported
[18:41] <Anubisss> so I should install it from source
[18:42] <Dr_Willis> Anubisss:  or find a PPA
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> !ppa
[18:42] <Pawmaniac> my own opinion is up in the air about coding vs graphics support.
[18:43] <supercom32_> Does anyone know of a good video editor for Ubuntu which can add mosaics to a region of video? Like if I guy has a shirt and you don't want to advertise for that company.
[18:43] <leello> is it possible to network ubuntu 10.04 with win 7(ubuntu as the connection provider)
[18:44] <Pawmaniac> leello: ubuntu as a gateway you mean
[18:44] <DasEi> leello: yes
[18:45] <leello> can you please tell me how?
[18:45] <Phylock> leello: shareing internet connection og share files over the network?
[18:45] <langvann> rooks: I do have it in /tftboot or what its called.
[18:45] <langvann> I must have missed something
[18:46] <leello> can i get both
[18:46] <rooks> langvann, walk slowly through that tutorial, im sure youll find whats missing
[18:46] <Pawmaniac> leello: yes you can get both
[18:46] <hariykeyboard> is there a command like sfdisk -l that I can use in a livecd to view what disks I have under /dev?
[18:46] <Dr_Willis> hariykeyboard:  sudo fdisk -l
[18:46] <Dr_Willis> hariykeyboard:  or install sfdisk if you like it.
[18:47] <rooks> langvann, also turn on debugging at whatever and see if your machine pulls files from tftp, hooks up to nfs, etc
[18:47] <Rebellen> hi. when i run "ifconfig eth0 up" i get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory" anyone knows whats the problem?
[18:47] <DasEi> leello: take a look at dnsmasq
[18:47] <leello> i have already tried the ip and gateway thing and win 7 refused to recognize it
[18:48] <DasEi> leello: who are you talking too (put nick)?   both ?
[18:48] <hariykeyboard> Dr_Willis, ah yes, but liveuser is not in the sudoers file and the incident will be reported.  Is sfdisk another program I have to ferry to a computer running a live cd in order to list my drive in bash?
[18:48] <leello> i am new to irc...sorry
[18:48] <Dr_Willis> hariykeyboard:  i can sudo from the live cd
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> !ics
[18:49] <KM0201> hariykeyboard: you can use sudo on the live d
[18:49] <KM0201> *cd
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> hariykeyboard:  what release are you using? im sure ive been able to 'sudo -s' or use gksudo.sudo on the live cd with no problems
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> leello: check the ip addressing on both PCs to ensure they are in the same subnet, try pinging by IP and not just by name
[18:49] <complete> strange.. for some time now, flash movies stutter in my firefox. its Firefox 4. in Chrome they look normal. when i fullscreen the movie, it runs smoothly. any ideas`
[18:50] <gsfai> im starting to get tired of this -.-
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> complete: chrome rocks is my guess :)
[18:50]  * KM0201 agrees with ActionParsnip
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> FF4 is a work in progress
[18:50] <gsfai> why the hell do they make stuff as hard as possible in new versions?
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> Dosent Chrome have its own built in Flash these days? or was that optional?
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> well, chromium daily ;)
[18:51] <smw> complete, my guess is you should use chrome ;-)
[18:51] <zztr> I have an older imac (first intel model) that i'm happy with but I'm thinking about getting a new desktop for work. anyone have any suggestions for ubuntu friendly, imac form factor alternatives? I haven't been looking at hardware for a long time. i'm considering the dell all-in-one...
[18:51] <Dr_Willis> gsfai:  grub2 has been used for some time now....
[18:51] <DasEi> gsfai: your issue ?
[18:51] <gsfai> menu.lst was the world's best invention ever
[18:51] <smw> Dr_Willis, chrome has it, chromium does not (I think)
[18:51] <gsfai> yet they threw it away
[18:51] <Pawmaniac> KM0201: thats was cool what you did.. i bet there a list of irc commands.
[18:51] <Dr_Willis> gsfai:  no it was not.. it was a hack and nasty in many ways.
[18:51] <KM0201> Pawmaniac: what did i do?
[18:51] <Dr_Willis> gsfai:  time to learn grub2.
[18:52] <gsfai> you could even edit it under windows
[18:52] <gsfai> now -- no
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> gsfai:  get over it?
[18:52] <DasEi> gsfai: ..
[18:52] <gsfai> you need to run update-grub, mkconfig, mkshit and a few other programs
[18:52] <gsfai> and end up on a grub> shell
[18:52] <Pawmaniac> KM0201: "* KM0201 agrees with ActionParsnip "
[18:52] <KM0201> Pawmaniac: oh... i know what you're talking about... type this   "/me  your message" w/o quotes
[18:52]  * Dr_Willis happily boots his ISO files from grub2..
[18:53] <ell> hello?
[18:53] <KM0201> Dr_Willis: i can never get that to work right.. i need to work on that, cuz i'm sick of burning cd's
[18:53]  * gsfai happily boots his Live CD, since his PC is now bricked
[18:53] <ell> can anyone help me
[18:53] <KM0201> gsfai: why is your pc bricked?
[18:53] <KM0201> ell: ask your question, if we can help, we will
[18:53] <ell> oh
[18:53] <abe> hi all, after install 10.04 my sound is not working. I tried to do the troubleshooting on '!sound' and nothing
[18:53] <gsfai> because it boots into a grub> shell
[18:53] <ell> i;l be backl in a bit
[18:54] <ooga> ell: Patience ... patience ...
[18:54] <cody> hey, I've run into a problem related to semi-outdated Intel GMA drivers, how do I update them? i know they are x.org.
[18:54] <KM0201> gsfai: well what did you do to cause that?
[18:54] <Sub_Zero> How can I make a boot able dvd on Ubuntu? By which I mean when booting from the disc I want the OS to startup not the installer for such. Like UBCD4Win
[18:54] <DasEi> gsfai: grub2 can be tricky, but if you need spport,describe your problem and get help
[18:54] <gsfai> ... install 10.10
[18:54] <lwizardl> ok how do I stop this from working. while I am using the mouse if you touch anywhere else on the touchpad with a second finger the mouse jumps all the way to the edge of the screen.
[18:54] <KM0201> gsfai: over wubi?
[18:54] <cody> the thing that is going wrong is Starcraft 2 through Wine.
[18:55] <ooga> Ok, anyone have experience installing 10.10 on a Gigabyte P55A-UD3?
[18:55] <jessec> cody: does SC2 run in wine?
[18:55] <abe> @Sub_Zero get do you want dual booting? Do you want to install it in Windows? VMware is great to put ubuntu inside windows
[18:55] <gsfai> DasEi: i am trying to fix this damn box since yesterday, and all i come across are more and more problems, now i have completely bricked it, i think i cant ruin anything in a read-only CD-rom, so i think that i have broken everything that i could
[18:55] <cody> it runs, but isn't playable past the menu, in the actual game, it's all black
[18:56] <cody> other than the menu icons and map
[18:56] <sacarlson> gsfai: if you liked grub legacy you can do it manualy the same just a different file /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[18:56] <Sub_Zero> abe I don't actually want it to install Windows anywhere, Just boot the Windows OS from the CD.
[18:56] <KM0201> gsfai: well, the problem runnng from the cd all the time, eventually you'll brick your cd drive to.
[18:56] <Sub_Zero> So it's nice and portable
[18:56] <gsfai> DasEi: and i used to run a nice and clean grub, with one file called menu.lst, which was easy as hell to edit and stuff. Now i have to edit like a few thousand files. And come across an error.
[18:57] <neiz> cody: could be a hardware issue.. I have a very old laptop which has the same problem with SC2 through Wine.  However, with mirrored settings on my desktop with much better hardware, game runs perfectly through wine
[18:57] <cody> Sub_Zero: you should be able to do that through the BIOS, if i'm reading that correctly
[18:57] <leello>  how can i get my video card info with terminal
[18:57] <DasEi> gsfai: you can chrrot into hd and get old grub back, though I'd rather repair
[18:57] <abe> @Sub_Zero my limited knowledge would say only a bootable CD or FlashDrive
[18:57] <KM0201> leello: lspci will show it
[18:58] <cody> this laptop is a Compaq Presario CQ60-420US, with a Intel GMA 4500MHD
[18:58] <DasEi> gsfai: one hd, no encryption ?
[18:58] <gsfai> one HD, 4 partitions, no encryption
[18:58] <BluesKaj> leello, lspci | grep VGA
[18:58] <nit-wit> gsfai, so whats the actual problem besides it seems you don't understand grub2, the computer is bricked you say. Is it just not booting to anything now.
[18:58] <livingdaylight> can someone help me with wirless on lenovo R60e ? running with network cable but wireless seems switched off
[18:58] <cody> SC2 ran perfectly on low settings in Window.
[18:58] <cody> *windows
[18:58] <DasEi> gsfai: boot into live, open terminal ..
[18:58] <ooga> Ok, next question: is there any difference in functionality between the versions of Ubuntu (kubuntu, xubuntu, gununtu, etc)?
[18:58] <Sub_Zero> cody If I was to burn the iso image to a disc and boot from it, The installer would pop up asking where to install Windows too? Which I don't want. Ubuntu has a live CD where you can try Ubuntu without actually installing it. That's what I want just with XP
[18:58] <gsfai> nit-wit: it drops to a grub shell.
[18:58] <KM0201> cody: thats because t was written to run in windows
[18:59] <cody> kk
[18:59] <Pawmaniac> cody: id blame it on that intel gpu
[18:59] <abe> @Sub_Zero would you be interested in a Virtual OS?
[18:59] <dev001> I have a few PowerBook G4's in excellent condition running Ubuntu 10.10 that I'd like to donate to charity (in the San Francsico Bay Area).  I'm bumping into countless 'meatheads' that will only accept MacOSX/Windows boxes -- arguing that 'Linux is not a real computer' (that's a quote!).
[18:59] <KM0201> Sub_Zero: it'll be a long time before we see Windows Live CD's..lol
[18:59] <jessec> ooga:  pretty much just the default window manager
[18:59] <dev001> I can't seem to give the silly things away!  Fine; not gonna try to fix the ignorance ... that said, anyone know of a community resource that lists Ubuntu-aware charities that won't shoot themselves in the foot, and might actually benefit from donations?
[18:59] <nit-wit> gsfai, run this script and pastebin the generated file.http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[18:59] <cody> Sub-Zero Windows does NOT have a Live CD option, blame Bill Gates for that.
[18:59] <ooga> jessec: thank you.
[18:59] <cody> kk
[18:59] <Pawmaniac> wine runs almost anything beautifully
[18:59] <neiz> cody: my core duo, 1gig laptop runs on low in windows but refuses to run in wine.  i7 920, 10gig ram, radeon 5770 will run SC2 through wine though... seems to need a surplus of resources to run it through wine
[19:00] <KM0201> Pawmaniac: i think saying "almost anything" is an extreme stretch.... i've found it fails more often than not.
[19:00] <jessec> ooga: Ubuntu uses gnome, Kubuntu - KDE, Xubuntu - Xfce
[19:00] <slipp3d> Sub_Zero, as far as i know the only way that is possible is on something like on the http://www.ubcd4win.com/
[19:00] <DasEi> cody: I got something kinda-like from ms,though ot here
[19:00] <cody> If I had a way to change my GPU, I would have LONG beforre now, but there's no room for a new one as it's integrated with my CPU.
[19:00] <ooga> jessec: are there any advantages of one over the others?
[19:00] <cody> Wine?
[19:00] <Pawmaniac> KM0201: not for me
[19:00]  * KM0201 wonders whatever happened to Fluxbuntu
[19:01] <nirazio> Is there an FTP client (GUI) that will let me search for text inside files?

[19:01] <DasEi> cody: live-cd /win
[19:01] <jessec> Xfce can be used on slower/older PCs better, though its pretty much a preference choice
[19:01] <gsfai> just a second nit-wit
[19:01] <cody> hmmm, guess i'd better put those plans to build a Desktop into action for this.
[19:01] <Phylock> windows PE is for running off the cd if i remeber correctly
[19:01] <DasEi> y
[19:01] <nit-wit> gsfai, cool it will give us a better view of the whole thang
[19:01] <nowisn> guess i have to remove all that data off those shared drives, thats going to suck balls
[19:02] <Nepherius> hey , where does gnomenu save its themes ?
[19:02] <cody> DasEi Windows never had a Live session, just an installer.
[19:02] <KM0201> jessec: i think Xubuntu has gotten extremely bloated, especially since 10.04.  If you got a low spec pc youre better off w/ Lubuntu
[19:02] <DasEi> cody: pm me, ubuntu here
[19:02] <c4rt0gr4ph0r> how difficult is it to install ubuntu on an xbox 360 hardware?

[19:04] <xxiao> anyone tried to set up a full 32-bit chroot under 64bit lucid?
[19:04] <abe> @DasEi Can you help me with my sound?

[19:05] <DasEi> abe: can try, alsamixer installed ?
[19:05] <nit-wit> gsfai, grub2 if the os-prober is installed and everything in order will find most other OS's. Are you using other then the Ubuntu desktop
[19:06] <matt1234> im not fond of reading the log anymore
[19:06] <cody> does anyone know of a way to check if Starcraft Brood War will work with my Intel GMA?
[19:06] <DasEi> abe: burn the speakers
[19:07] <gsfai> Well i have XP in the 1st partition, Backups in the second, linux in the third, and swap in the fourth
[19:07] <slipp3d> cody, did it work in windows before you made the switch to ubunut?
[19:07] <cody> Brood War? I don't own it yet
[19:07] <leello> how can i install *.tar.bz2 files
[19:07] <slipp3d> cody, what about starcraft
[19:07] <cody> Starcraft 2 did, but not in Ubuntu
[19:07] <abe> @DasEi my sound was not working because the plug was not in :) it is working now
[19:07] <gobbe> leello: tar and bz and compression
[19:07] <gobbe> leello: so uncompress it
[19:08] <gobbe> leello: bzip2 and tar
[19:08] <DasEi> leello: I guess you ask about compiling,not just unpacking.. no other source ?
[19:08] <abe> @DasEi thanks for your help
[19:08] <cody> I don't own ANY of the original Starcraft games, i'd like to know before I waste $20
[19:08] <gsfai> legacy grub was clever enough to make a list and let me choose which one i want, even listed in 'microsoft' and 'linux' Os'es. And grub2 dropped to a grub> shell, telling me to hit TAB if i needed help, and ESC if i was in a pre-rage state.
[19:08] <ubuntu> hghhg
[19:08] <Pici> !appdb | cody
[19:08] <ubuntu> hgfhgfh
[19:08] <cody> kk, i'll look at that.
[19:08] <slipp3d> cody, ... if your computer was enough to run starcaft2 then it would be enough to run StarCarft one
[19:09] <cody> thanks
[19:09] <sacarlson> gsfai: it apears you are like installing an install iso on /dev/sda6  is that where you had planed to install from?
[19:09] <gsfai> there is an ubuntu 10.10 installation in /dev/sda6
[19:09] <leello> DasEi:Yes, i am trying to install blender from a CD and it is in tar.bz2 format
[19:09] <gsfai> exactly as i was planning
[19:09] <DasEi> !compression > leello
[19:09] <slipp3d> Pici, he was asking about his video card enough to run starcaft  not if it would run in wine... but i'm sure that link will help him alot
[19:10] <DasEi> leello: use the repos
[19:10] <Phylock> leello: blender is in the reposotory
[19:10] <leello> ubottu:how can i do that with irssi
[19:10] <slipp3d> I thought that was in the repos
[19:10] <DasEi> leello: it was me,triggering bot
[19:10] <DasEi> !brain > leello
[19:11] <sacarlson> gsfai: it also apears that is where grub2 is set as it's root to /boot  so the first kernel is loaded from there I think
[19:11] <DasEi> leello: you can try in that window yourself without "!" in front, here in channel it triggers factoids
[19:11] <leello> Phylock: i know but i have a very slow connection
[19:11] <gsfai> yes /boot should contain the kernels
[19:11] <nit-wit> gsfai, without the script being posted we are flailing about I suspect you have mixed grub-legacy and grub2 together this can be fixed.
[19:12] <cody> is WoW Wrath of The Lich king a good indicator that Starcraft Brood War will run? cause WotlK runs without shaders perfectly. with shaders, not so much
[19:12] <DasEi> leello: you could compile it,put in view of consistency, use repos (updates, stable sys)
[19:12] <sacarlson> gsfai: well I tried that with a single disk and failed,  it seem I couldn't install ubuntu from the same disk even with multi partitions,  I think it's a bug
[19:12] <DasEi> leello: it's not just unpacking,but also compiling, which can bork your apt in worse cases
[19:12] <langvann> rooks: How do i turn on debugging ?
[19:13] <gsfai> nit-wit: i... formatted it, grub legacy could ninja-dodge a format?
[19:13] <slipp3d> cody, it will run ... if it will run on my old system (6 year old computer) i'm sure that it would run on that computer
[19:13] <cody> kk
[19:13] <cody> thanks
[19:13] <slipp3d> cody, but you might want to read the winedb to make sure how to get it running
[19:13] <rooks> langvann, some swithces in /etc/default or somehwere around, you have to goggle o n that , i dont rememer
[19:14] <langvann> Dec 29 19:53:53 server in.tftpd[13292]: tftp: client does not accept options
[19:15] <sacarlson> gsfai: I was also unable to get the loop mount to work in grub2 even though I saw example that they said worked,  it didn't work for me,  I ended up extracting the conents of iso and copy to a partition

[19:18] <nirazio> Is there an FTP client (GUI) that will let me search for text inside files?
[19:18] <abe> @Pawmaniac it upsets me that the amount of tech inside iPad and u can't run flash.  I will check hackaday thanks.
[19:18] <KM0201> nirazio: filezilla?
[19:19] <nirazio> I already use Filezilla, but while it allows you to search for file names, I haven't found any function in it for searching for text within files...
[19:19] <Pawmaniac> abe: i got ubuntu on my PS3 through them
[19:19] <sam-_-> nirazio, it would have to download all the files
[19:20] <abe> @Pawmaniac yes i have heard ubuntu on PS3. You can actual convert your PS3 to be a supercomputer to run very complex modules by installing Federo.  There was this nice articles on Digg.
[19:20] <IConrad01> Need help here!  I just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 -- and now my compiz settings are all gone.  Can't even enable desktop effects.  And yet, amdcccle claims to be working normally and fglrx is installed properly... ???
[19:20] <shcherbak> abe: do you know how to open ipad? i mean phisically?
[19:20] <Pawmaniac> abe: they love hacking apple products
[19:20] <sacarlson> nirazio: can't you just ssh in and try grep "the text you want" *
[19:20] <Blueeyez> need help to install ubuntu on my laptop, ubuntu can't see my harddrive under installation but under live mode it can (Running live mode ATM)
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> nirazio: mount the FTP and you can search it like any other filesystem you can access
[19:21] <abe> @shcherbak i don't
[19:21] <nirazio> ActionParsnip: How to mount the FTP??
[19:21] <StaRetji> Is there a way to fake EDID sent from monitor. I have Ubuntu on ARM and it seems that it can display only max res sent by edid.

[19:21] <ActionParsnip> !mount | nirazio
[19:22] <sacarlson> nirazio: I think nautilus supports ftp
[19:22] <IConrad01> Blueeyez: At terminal, execute: " ls /dev/ | grep sda  " -- what's the result?
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> sacarlson: nice one, nirazio use nautilus to connect to the server
[19:22] <IConrad01> Anybody?  No desktop effects upon upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 ... fglrx claims it's working properly?
[19:23] <Entelin> is there instructions somewhere on how to upgrade a package to one in Natty?  theres a fix there for hylafax which apparently fixes an issue I am seeing
[19:23] <sacarlson> nirazio: Places>Connect to server>ftp
[19:23] <Pawmaniac> abe: we where going to parallel sequence 4 PS3's together
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> IConrad01: try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install     the driver package name (or remove the driver package then reinstall it)
[19:23] <IConrad01> ActionParsnip: fglrx.  It's working.
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> IConrad01: i'd ask in #compiz then
[19:24] <IConrad01> Well, that's just it -- I can't get compiz to even start up.
[19:24] <IConrad01> No desktop effects at all.
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> IConrad01: yes, compiz gives the effects. If the 3d accelleration is available (as the driver is running as you say) then compiz is going weird
[19:24] <sacarlson> IConrad01: you need a video driver that support it
[19:25] <IConrad01> sacarlson: Like fglrx.  I know.  I had Compiz running on 10.04.
[19:25] <IConrad01> I lost it on 10.10 but fglrx claims to be running.
[19:26] <sacarlson> IConrad01: maybe take a peak in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file and see why it didn't start
[19:27] <nit-wit> gsfai, can you read the script yourself, do you see menu.list and grub.cfg in the boot section of the Ubuntu partition?
[19:27] <BluesKaj> IConrad01, have you done sudo apt-get update since upgrading
[19:27] <ooga> Back to my original question: anyone have experience installing 10.10 on a Gigabyte P55A-UD3?
[19:27] <IConrad01> BluesKaj: Yes.  Repeatedly.
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> ooga: the board is fairly obscure, which particular component of it are you having issue with
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> ooga: also check www.ubuntuhcl.org
[19:28] <sacarlson> nit-wit: I thougt gsfai: was using grub2?
[19:28] <shcherbak> IConrad01: compiz --replace, install ccsm and fusion icom
[19:28] <IConrad01> I have ccsm
[19:28] <shcherbak> *icon*
[19:29] <shcherbak> IConrad01: and you open ati center?
[19:29] <IConrad01> shcherbak: Yes.
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> IConrad01: if you run:   compiz --replace   in a terminal, it will give clues
[19:29] <ooga> ActionParsnip: none yet ... it the board that a local computer shop is using and I'm trying to find out if there are any issues ... I have found no cons searching it on google ...
[19:29] <shcherbak> IConrad01: so what does compiz --replace?
[19:29] <IConrad01> Nothing that looks like errors show up.
[19:29] <sacarlson> nit-wit: sorry brain fart
[19:29] <IConrad01> I just lose window-dressings.  (I was using Emerald)
[19:30] <ooga> ActionParsnip: so, I thought I'd ask here ...
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> ooga: find out what chips it uses, then find guides and the like based on that
[19:30] <ricoshady> anyone have ideas on those console errors, what they might mean? http://imagebin.org/130082
[19:30] <shcherbak> IConrad01: emerald --replace, as far as i know metacity do not do emerald
[19:31] <eriksamchisen> question about upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04
[19:31] <IConrad01> Yeah, that doesn't do anything.  *SHOULD* -- doesn't.
[19:31] <ooga> ActionParsnip: Intel P55 ... replacment for the P45 ... again, no cons as far as I can tell ...
[19:31] <DasEi> eriksamchisen: ask ..
[19:32] <eriksamchisen> whenever I've tried it finishes, but when I restart nothing comes up
[19:32] <IConrad01> Fuggit, try another reboot with reinstall of fglrx.  If this doesn't work... fresh reinstall it is.
[19:32] <IConrad01> God dammit.
[19:32] <Pawmaniac> IConrad01: i wan't paying attention to this coversation but do you have CCSM?
[19:32] <tripps> hello. update manager is asking me if I want to remove obsolete package laptop-mode-tools. Since when did this become obsolete?
[19:32] <nit-wit> sacarlson, we wont know that until we see the script, with thier loving attachment to grub-legacy and a bricked computer the bootscript is the genies lamp here it will tell all.:)
[19:32] <shcherbak> IConrad01: so you have compiz with effects, but none of decorations?
[19:32] <nottl> erik nothing comes up or screen is black ?
[19:32] <eriksamchisen> screen is black and nothing happens

[19:33] <aeon-ltd> !panels | Tetsuo55
[19:33] <nottl> enter nomodeset and see if the video works
[19:33] <gsfai> im not used in this grub2
[19:33] <sacarlson> nit-wit: the data given in what he sent already looks like it's imposibe,  seems he is attempting to boot an install from hd from an iso file
[19:33] <DasEi> eriksamchisen: put nick in when replying to someone; reconfigure graphics
[19:34] <eriksamchisen> nottl   what will that do?
[19:34] <shcherbak> Tetsuo55: make sure to lock applets to panel (or unlock some to see how it works)
[19:34] <sacarlson> gsfai: was the option to install a real ubuntu instead of a install on /dev/sda6 not posible?
[19:34] <Tetsuo55> ok it worked
[19:34] <nit-wit> sacarlson, I really don't care to be honest, I can only suggest a look at the whole set up with a script that takes less then a minute to run and pastebin
[19:34] <Tetsuo55> nice

[19:35] <Tetsuo55> can i make a desktop shortcut for that?

[19:36] <ActionParsnip> Tetsuo55: I can make it if you like
[19:36] <unknown__> How can i restore my wifidrivers to the original ones?
[19:37] <gsfai> sacarlson: if i had a menu.lst, i wouldn't be here
[19:37] <DasEi> MangledBody: can try via hdparm, and ,not sure if I remeber right, smartctl
[19:37]  * KM0201 misses menu.lst   :(
[19:38] <MangledBody> DasEi: Hi! In Terminal, or it's a downloadable prgram?
[19:38] <gsfai> KM0201: you have NO idea :(
[19:38] <DasEi> MangledBody: both, apt-get install hdparm
[19:38] <sacarlson> gsfai: I see the file on my system and I run grub2 is that just a remnent of what I used to run?
[19:38] <DasEi> MangledBody: read the manpage carefully, some options are harmfull
[19:38] <MangledBody> DasEi: OK, I have hdparm, uder what can I see it?
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> Tetsuo55: http://pastebin.com/7sKpyYX0
[19:39] <gsfai> sacarlson: yes
[19:39] <DasEi> MangledBody: man hdparm
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> KM0201: grub legacy has a lot of shortcomings
[19:39] <MangledBody> DasEi: I don't want to change anything yet... OK man
[19:39] <gsfai> ok, lets change plans
[19:39] <nit-wit> gsfai, so what is keeping you from booting a cd and running the script and posting it. here is what mine looks like.  http://www.codepad.eu/view/95608103
[19:39] <sacarlson> gsfai: what method did you use to install the ubuntu on /dev/sda6?
[19:39] <gsfai> how do i wipe out grub2
[19:39] <sergiusz> join #linux.pl
[19:39] <gsfai> and install grub legacy?
[19:39] <DasEi> MangledBody:  hdparm -d /dev/sdXX
[19:39] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: i know... but it was kinda like my first car, i knew how to fix it easily, and generally it wasn't to painful.. and much like grub-legacy and my car.. it hurt when it left
[19:40] <gsfai> nit-wit: im from a bootable pc, and i posted the pastebin a few thousand lines ago
[19:40] <DasEi> MangledBody: ^ shall tell current status
[19:40] <langvann> rooks: it doesnt seem like it tries to load nfs at all
[19:40] <Tetsuo55> ActionParsnip: thanks
[19:40] <MangledBody> DasEi: That simply view if it's PIO, or DMA, yes?
[19:40] <sacarlson> gsfai: after it's installed you can apt-get install grub-legacy
[19:40] <MangledBody> DasEi:  Thanks
[19:40] <Amtrask> Hello, is there a way to join Ubuntu to a windows domain, so that the username/passwords can be used on an Ubuntu machine?
[19:40] <DasEi> MangledBody: dma
[19:40] <gsfai> http://gsfai.pastebin.com/PT1sVH6E
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> Terminator: scripts like that make life VERY easy in linux
[19:40] <langvann> it just tries to boot, but it cant do /scripts/init-premount/, it just panics.
[19:41] <langvann> isnt it supposed to be running scripts/nfs-premount ?
[19:41] <gsfai> nit-wit: http://gsfai.pastebin.com/PT1sVH6E <-- thats the output from the script you gave me, i pasted the output a few minutes ago but you missed it
[19:41] <nit-wit> gsfai, It may be here but tab my nick and the pastebin again I don't see it I'm helping several people.
[19:41] <rooks> langvann, did you put nfs modules into initrd?
[19:41] <langvann> lol
[19:41] <langvann> i've been putting "net" as a module
[19:42] <MangledBody> DasEi: Thank you, I'll leave now
[19:42] <langvann> its supposed to be "netboot"
[19:42] <rooks> langvann, 'this is why you fail' :P
[19:42] <langvann> This is why we cant have nice things
[19:42] <langvann> lol

[19:42] <Amtrask> Hello, is there a way to join Ubuntu to a windows domain, so that the username/passwords can be used on an Ubuntu machine?
[19:43] <rooks> k
[19:43] <gsfai> nit-wit: so is there a way to remove every single trace of grub2 from my HDD, and install the old and good grub 1?
[19:43] <nit-wit> gsfai, first your missing this in the sda6 /boot/grub/grub.cfg boot line look at mine
[19:43] <sacarlson> gsfai: I'm sorry it's 2:43am here I made a mistake the loop mount I saw what the cdrom the you had booted from to run the script,  I see no errors
[19:44] <gsfai> nit-wit: i dont have any grub.cfg, i only have a grubenv, which looks like a result of what happens if you let a 3 year old child touch the keyboard... ######################
[19:45] <gusg> Inside of Nautilus, is there anyway I can access the string path of my current location?
[19:45] <sacarlson> gsfai: is there a diretory /boot/grub ?
[19:45] <administrator_> bobo
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> gusg: press CTRL+L
[19:45] <gsfai> sacarlson: yes containing 190 files
[19:46] <gusg> ActionParsnip: awesome! thank you
[19:46] <Drew151> Hello. I'm new to Linux. Can i download it to an external HDD?
[19:46] <gsfai> first of all, it would be really convinient if i managed to boot from the actual installation...
[19:46] <aeon-ltd> Drew151: yes, but do you mean install not download
[19:46] <gsfai> so, what do i have to type in grub shell to get in it?
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> Drew151: you can use usb-creator or unetbootin to install to a USB storage
[19:48] <annecy> anybody know why my nice new ubuntu font isn't fully hinted in Firefox and Qt apps?
[19:48] <Drew151> um, yah. you'll have to forgive me. I'm pretty good with computers, but this is the first time I've really gotten into more advanced stuff. I don't know any of the jargon and stufff/
[19:48] <rooks> langvann, i might be off, so if you wanna somehting pm me
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> annecy: you havent got fully updated yet maybe
[19:48] <nit-wit> gsfai, here is a link to chroot in to remove grub2 and reinstall it or grub-legacy. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1581099
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> annecy: what does 'hinted' mean?
[19:49] <gusg> Drew151: he just named some programs. I think you should search for those names
[19:50] <StaRetji> Is there a way to fake EDID sent from monitor. I have Ubuntu on ARM and it seems that it can display only max res sent by edid.
[19:50] <annecy> ActionParsnip: in gnome-appearance-properties under fonts->details there  are the hinting options
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> annecy: ahh, i see. Not sure. Never played with that stuff
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> StaRetji: use an xorg.conf file and it will be obeyed
[19:52] <sacarlson> gsfai: did you try something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/547404/
[19:52] <annecy> ActionParsnip: have a go! certain fonts look way better fully hinted ie the free ones
[19:52] <Drew151> Thanks. I'll probably be droping in more often. if this isn't the place for asking for newbie advice I'll leave.
[19:53] <StaRetji> ActionParsnip: Thx for reply. I'm using it, but it wont listen
[19:53] <sacarlson> gsfai: change the mount in that to sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
[19:53] <ka1ser> StaRetji: you should be able to configure it through kernel boot parameters... something like omapdss.hdmicode=x omapdss.hdmimode=x
[19:53] <trend> how can I install either dpkg or apt-get if they aren't already :/
[19:53] <aeon-ltd> trend: build it?
[19:53] <StaRetji> ka1ser: thx, it sounds like it could help
[19:54] <guntbert> Drew151: this IS the ubuntu support channel, feel free to stay, listen, ask.... (just be patient please :-))
[19:54] <bergqvistjl> god why do i kill forum threads why I reply to them.
[19:54] <gsfai> sacarlson: i am on my way for something different :)
[19:54] <gsfai> nit-wit: thanks for that forum topic, i think im going to get a solution at last!
[19:54] <trend> aeon-ltd ehh, was hoping that wasn't the easiest way.. but prob is
[19:54] <trend> thanks :0
[19:54] <ActionParsnip> annecy: all looks fine to me dude. Do you have 3D accelleration running?
[19:54] <Drew151> I will. I've learned my lessons from other IRCs that....didn't go so well.
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> StaRetji: then check /var/log/Xorg.0.log   to see whats going on
[19:55] <bergqvistjl> Skaperen are you there per chance?
[19:55] <em> my touchpad keeps scrolling when i rest my hand on it.
[19:55] <em> it's too sensitive
[19:55] <em> is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the touchpad?
[19:55] <guntbert> Drew151: we try to stay friendly ... :-)
[19:55] <langvann> rooks: I've gotten a little further. But now I get "ifconfig; IOCBLABLA No such device"
[19:55] <langvann> Seems like it wont load the network driver
[19:55] <nit-wit> gsfai, look in the signature of the author for all things grub2 it is actually easier but there is a learning curve.
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> em: is the system a Sony Vaio?
[19:55] <StaRetji> ActionParsnip: I know exactly what is going on, gpu takes max edid sent from monitor, it is by design (pandaboard) so I have to trick it somehow)
[19:56] <Drew151> thanks. well, I got to go. I might be around tommorow.
[19:56] <em> no it's an hp pavillion
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> em: what model?
[19:56] <Bookie> Can anyone help with an install problem?
[19:56] <em> dv6
[19:56] <em> HP Pavilion dv6
[19:56] <ka1ser> hmm so it is pandaboard... omapdss should be there =)
[19:56] <StaRetji> ka1ser: Do you have some links for it, thx dude
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> StaRetji: xorg.conf will override EDID, sounds like your file is lacking
[19:57] <guntbert> !ask | Bookie
[19:57] <Wally______> Hi can some one take a look at this and see if they can point me in the right direction
[19:57] <Wally______> http://pastebin.com/wss2wD5T
[19:57] <StaRetji> ActionParsnip: same file force that on intel gpu, but on arm cortex it wont. Can you show me example of the xorg,.conf Thank you so much

[19:58] <Lungan> How do i reinstall my wifi driver in ubuntu?
[19:58] <crimsun> Lungan: the driver itself is in the kernel
[19:58] <Tetsuo55> i have not had any updates come in since christmas, no updates? or problem?
[19:58] <Bookie> Thanks. I'm attempting to install10.10. I get as far as time zone and it stops
[19:58] <Lungan> crimsun, How do I reeinstall it then?
[19:58] <crimsun> Lungan: sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image-$(uname -r)
[19:59] <ka1ser> I don't think it will override it on ubuntu pandaboard releases by now =)
[19:59] <Lungan> crimsun, I tried to patch the driver end then ending up with a driver which disconnects me all the time
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> em: echo "options psmouse proto=exps" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf; sudo modprobe -r psmouse; sleep 2; sudo modprobe psmouse         should sort it
[20:00] <aeon-ltd> Wally______: this is unrealted to pointing you in that direction, but isn't there anoother kernel that works if you don't have X set up? or even a virtual treminal?
[20:00] <bergqvistjl> I have come to the conclusion that Mythbuntu 10.10 is sadly a POS. A shadow of its former self in terms of quality and stability
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> em: source; http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1600221
[20:01] <aeon-ltd> bergqvistjl: too many flavours of linux, not enough devs to maintain :(
[20:01] <Alestan1> hey, i've got a toshiba laptop running ubuntu 10.10 with network trouble:  i can connect to a visible wireless network with no encryption or security, but i can't connect to a visible one with wpa2 security
[20:01] <guntbert> Wally______: did you see http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/06/02/how-to-chroot-to-ubuntu-using-live-cd-to-fix-grub-rescue-prompt/   for how to set up a chroot environment?
[20:01] <gsfai_> nit-wit, thanks a TON, i managed to boot into my new good installation, via grub legacy
[20:01] <eyecreate> is it possible to install ubuntu 10.10 in a loopback parition on another linux partition? (like lubi was) how would you do this?
[20:01] <Alestan1> is this a known issue with network-manager?
[20:01] <Lungan> crimsun, after writing that in terminal, will the wifidriver be as the one I had when i installed 10.10?
[20:01] <Wally______> aeon-ltd,  No.  No kernels will boot. :(
[20:01] <viceRoy_28> which flavor of linux is most impressive? i'm new
[20:02] <aeon-ltd> Wally______: then isn't that a bigger problem that nvidia and X?
[20:02] <Wally______> guntbert, I will look at that.  Thank you
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> viceRoy_28: depends what impresses you, the question is too vague
[20:02] <vectory> viceRoy_28: ubuntu with uts 20000+ packages is quite impressive
[20:02] <Wally______> When ever x tries to load it just freezes up.
[20:02] <aeon-ltd> viceRoy_28: thats too subjective, they all offer a lot of freedom (well those that supply server/minimal/raw installs anyway
[20:02] <Wally______> it could be bigger
[20:02] <sacarlson> bergqvistjl: I tried mythbuntu or myth the package around 8.04 but only got about 10% to work then,  I thought it was my tuner card
[20:02] <nirazio> Is there a way to find out which package was responsible for a Dependecy PackageInstallation?
[20:02] <Wally______> I may just reinstall
[20:02] <guntbert> Wally______: look at the mount --bind    lines
[20:03] <Wally______> ok guntbert Ill will give that a try brb
[20:03] <geogeek> i have a question open source in generale , where could i ask this kind of questions ??
[20:03] <nit-wit> gsfai_, cool I don't like legacy but to each their own eh.:)
[20:03] <vectory> nirazio: good question
[20:04] <guntbert> geogeek: you could start in #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:04] <StaRetji> ka1ser: tgabk you so much :)
[20:04] <StaRetji> ka1ser: thank you* hehe
[20:04] <geogeek> guntbert: thanks too much :)
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> viceRoy_28: i suggest you grab Ubuntu and learn the OS some, then branch out from there
[20:05] <pjdelport> ahoy
[20:05] <ka1ser> StaRetji: np... but you should give it a try first... I remember a friend trying same and he was not able to change 1080p
[20:06] <Sweetums> I seem to be having an issue where ndbd is not strating using 'start nbbd' but does start when running the exact same command in the upstart script manually. How do I go about troubleshooting something like that?
[20:06] <pjdelport> i'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 from a flash drive (created using usb-creator)
[20:06] <pjdelport> and running into some problems
[20:07] <pjdelport> i can get my computer to boot it, but after booting into the installer, it reports failure to mount the installation CD-ROM / media
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> pjdelport: did you MD5 test the ISO you transferred?
[20:08] <nit-wit> pjdelport, are you booting the cd or trying to install inside of Windows
[20:08] <pjdelport> the flash drive works; i've installed newer machines with it; my home machine is a bit older, so i suspect it might not support booting from USB in the same way as newer machines
[20:08] <StaRetji> ka1ser: no problem, will try. I'm having problem with mac resolutions on monitors, I want to force it to 1024x768
[20:08] <pjdelport> nit-wit: booting from the USB drive
[20:08] <pjdelport> ActionParsnip: and yeah, i did
[20:09] <pjdelport> nit-wit: the machine currently has FreeBSD installed, but that shouldn't really matter
[20:09] <Spreadsheet> Hi
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> pjdelport: you can test it before the desktop loads, you can also test test the RAM there too
[20:09] <nit-wit> pjdelport, open gparted and take a screen shot ans post the image link
[20:09] <Spreadsheet> Whenever I wget a URL with a ? it tries to match the ?
[20:09] <ka1ser> I see
[20:09] <pjdelport> nit-wit: gparted of what?
[20:09] <Spreadsheet> Because ? is a matching character in zsh (bash too, likely)
[20:09] <Pici> Spreadsheet: Surround the URL with double quotes.
[20:09] <CoJaBo> How do I disable the "automatically boot the default OS before the monitor warms up" option in GRUB2?
[20:09] <rmrfslash> Is vga_switcheroo supposed to be in 10.10 (as suggested by https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics)
[20:09] <Spreadsheet> Picl: thans
[20:09] <Spreadsheet> *pici
[20:10] <nit-wit> pjdelport, gparted is the partitioner on the live cd
[20:10] <ooga> Ok ... off to get the new box ... downloading kubuntu now ...
[20:10] <nit-wit> pjdelport, menu-system-admin-gparted
[20:10] <ooga> wish me luci
[20:10] <ooga> s/luci/luck
[20:10] <pjdelport> nit-wit: i only have the desktop installation CD on the USB stick, not the live CD
[20:10] <vectory> Spreadsheet: lol, we aint no sed interpreters
[20:10] <pjdelport> (i wrote it at work; i'm at home now)
[20:10] <nit-wit> pjdelport, same thing
[20:11] <vectory> - spreadsheet, soz wrong hl
[20:11] <nit-wit> pjdelport, you have or have not used the usb to boot to a live Ubuntu enviroment
[20:11] <pjdelport> nit-wit: i can't get further than the initial installation menu when booted from the USB drive; that's the problem
[20:12] <Mooseeeeey> hello?
[20:12] <ijustam> so, gdm, X and nvidia drivers all walk into a bar
[20:12] <ijustam> and the nvidia drivers punch X and gdm in the face
[20:12] <ijustam> and run out, without paying its tab
[20:12] <hessel> /irc.piratenpartij.nl/piratenpartij
[20:12] <pjdelport> the computer must recognize the USB drive to boot from it, but once booted, Ubuntu doesn't seem to find it again
[20:12] <hessel> oeps
[20:12] <jasono> Hey everyone. Letting you know that Jono Bacon has a Live stream now. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/severed-fifth-live-in-the-studio
[20:13] <Mooseeeeey> is anyone available to help me with a problem
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> !ot | jasono
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> Mooseeeeey: ask away
[20:13] <Mooseeeeey> ok, so I have a(very) old Nvidia geforce mx400 gfx card
[20:13] <jasono> Sorry, more people here.
[20:14] <Mooseeeeey> I went to the site and dl'd the driver for linux-32bit
[20:14] <nit-wit> pjdelport, you mean the try or install menu? power on the computer immediately hold down the shift key to get to the first try or install menu hit f6 tick nomodeset the crtl+x to boot
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> !nvidia | Mooseeeeey
[20:14] <nit-wit> *the=then
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> Mooseeeeey: you dont need the file from nvidia
[20:14] <Mooseeeeey> ok going now
[20:15] <pjdelport> nit-wit: aha; what does the nomodeset do?
[20:15] <nit-wit> pjdelport, low graphics mode
[20:15] <pjdelport> nit-wit: hmm, i don't think that's the problem
[20:16] <nit-wit> pjdelport, your description is hard to decipher open a dialogue if you like and we can talk easier
[20:16] <trend> I need to get a dozen or so x11 lib files (ones mentioned here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2273534/how-to-install-wkhtmltopdf-on-a-linux-based-web-server/2882679#2882679) how can I get them with out installing x11?
[20:17] <pjdelport> nit-wit: the graphics work fine; the problem is just that Ubuntu doesn't find the USB drive (installation media) once booted
[20:17] <Lungan> My internet keeps disconnects me every 5 seconds, how can I reinstall my wifi with drivers and everything? In the tray it says that i'm connected, but internet doesn't work
[20:17] <guntbert> nit-wit: please keep support conversations in the channel (if possible)
[20:18] <pjdelport> in other words, when you try to install, check the media, or boot into rescue mode, the "Detect installation CD-ROM" step fails
[20:18] <nit-wit> guntbert, thats not a problem but the description is confusing
[20:18] <Nexxus> i downloaded firestarter and it overcomplicated my iptables config file how do i start over on ipatables so i can just have a few rules in it?
[20:20] <ooga> one last question: Does the 64 bit version of kubuntu only work on AMD pocessors?
[20:20] <pjdelport> nit-wit: i suspect the problem may be that this computer's BIOS exposes the USB drive differently than what Ubuntu expects
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> Nexxus: you can use iptables -F   to flush the rules, or you can restore your backup if you made one
[20:20] <popey> ooga: no
[20:21] <pjdelport> e.g. as an emulated hard drive instead of an emulated CD-ROM drive
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> ooga: it runs on intel 64bit too
[20:21] <popey> ooga: its just called AMD64 because AMD created the architecture first so they named it
[20:21] <pjdelport> i'm not fully familiar with the details of USB booting
[20:21] <karlo94> anybody know how I can see more information about some file ?
[20:21] <popey> karlo94: what kind of file?
[20:21] <ooga> popey: Thank you! Scared me for a sec ...
[20:21] <karlo94> popey, every :D
[20:22] <CoJaBo> nvm, found it
[20:22] <guntbert> Kardos_: try: file <thatfile>
[20:22] <sacarlson> pjdelport: does this system have more than one hard disk?
[20:22] <popey> karlo94: the file command can be used to figure out what a file is - type file <filename> in a terminal
[20:22] <ooga> ok ... now Re-re-starting the download of kubuntu 64 bit ... going out for new box ... wish me luck ...
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> ooga: remember to md5 test the iso ;)
[20:22] <pjdelport> sacarlson: at the moment, yes; would that make any difference?
[20:23] <Lungan> My internet keeps disconnects me every 5 seconds, how can I reinstall my wifi with drivers and everything? In the tray it says that i'm connected, but internet doesn't work
[20:23] <richthegeek> hi - my Xorg is suddenly using lots of CPU when the screen changes quickly (Sudoku completion anim, for example) - any idea why?
[20:23] <pjdelport> sacarlson: i think this failure is happening before any hard disk access happens
[20:23] <sacarlson> pjdelport: and the other linux is still working,  then yes you could install with this method https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux
[20:23] <X2864> guntbert, is there a commandline app to see all the metadata of a file ?
[20:24] <sacarlson> pjdelport: it will move the installer onto one of the hard disk partitions,  you will need two free partitions,  one for the installed on a different drive and another patition to install to
[20:24] <guntbert> X2864: meta-data? try stat <filename> or as suggested above use file
[20:24] <pjdelport> sacarlson: the current installation (that i'm booted into now) is actually FreeBSD
[20:25] <grkblood> im trying to install divfix and the download link is some .ymp file, what do i do with that file?
[20:25] <sacarlson> pjdelport: that should be fine
[20:25] <MrUnagi> anyone want to help me figure out why i can upload via sftp but sshfs gives file permission errors?
[20:25] <sacarlson> pjdelport: I could be wrong but it can mount iso files in freebsd can't it?
[20:25] <pjdelport> my plan was actually to boot into the USB drive and move the last of my data off of the main drive (onto one of the others) before i nuke and dedicate it to Ubuntu
[20:26] <karlo> popey, but I wanna know files informatons like: when it was made, who made it, maybe ip of computer on it is made, OS of that computer, and else.........
[20:26] <X2864> meta data as in file properties
[20:26] <richthegeek> karlo: most of that stuff isn't stored in any way
[20:26] <sacarlson> pjdelport: well the option of usb seems to be out,  or is it?
[20:26] <popey> karlo: depends if that data is in the file and the file type - hence me asing what kind of file
[20:26] <Pici> X2864: Which properties are you exactly trying to find?
[20:26] <Lungan> My internet keeps disconnects me every 5 seconds, how can I reinstall my wifi with drivers and everything? In the tray it says that i'm connected, but internet doesn't work
[20:26] <sacarlson> pjdelport: onother option that I have never used is plop boot loader
[20:27] <richthegeek> Lungan: do you have the option to try a different Wireless dongle/card?
[20:27] <karlo> popey, I'm just looking for a program that reads extra info about file..
[20:27] <sacarlson> pjdelport: http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html
[20:27] <pjdelport> sacarlson: well, i haven't discounted the USB option yet
[20:27] <popey> karlo: yeah, you'll get more help if you're more specific about the kinds of files
[20:27] <richthegeek> hi - my Xorg is suddenly using lots of CPU when the screen changes quickly (Sudoku completion anim, for example) - any idea why?
[20:27] <Lungan> richthegeek, Nope. I didn't have anyproblem before i tried to patch the driver, and now i keeps disconnect me. so I just whanna reset to originial
[20:28] <pjdelport> i'd like to get it working partly for the convenience, and partly to understand what's actually going wrong
[20:28] <richthegeek> Lungan: link to the tutorial you used to patch the driver?
[20:28] <pjdelport> since it's definitely working some of the way, enough to boot from the USB drive
[20:28] <the_eye_> in nautilus I cant open smb://servername only open smb://192.168.x.x , why ?
[20:28] <SuNotisima> i reinstalled grub2 some time ago, now i can change everything as usual, only the countdown doesnt work at all. here is my grub.cfg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/548620/ and my /etc/default/grub: http://paste.ubuntu.com/548622/
[20:28] <sacarlson> pjdelport: the plop boot manager can be installed I think with your freebsd to the mbr of one of the disks,  then boot and from plop you can select to boot from usb
[20:28] <grkblood> how do you isntall a ymp file?
[20:28] <richthegeek> SuNotisima: try using grub-manager?
[20:29] <pjdelport> sacarlson: would that make a difference compared to booting into USB straight from the BIOS?
[20:29] <karlo> popey, tnx for trying to help :D ..I gonna try to found myself..
[20:29] <sacarlson> pjdelport: the first I have used and I know that works,  the second plop I tried in virtualbox and it didn't work there but it might work in a real computer
[20:30] <nmvictor> I am trying to compile vive but i get the error configure: error: libvte development files are not installed but are required to compile.
[20:30] <SuNotisima> richthegeek: you mean "StartUp-Manager"? tried that, no success
[20:30] <ilpa> Is there a service startup file? Where I could add a daemon on startup?
[20:30] <gobbe> ilpa: rc-files
[20:30] <nmvictor> I am trying to compile vive but i get the error[ configure: error: libvte development files are not installed but are required to compile. ] yet i have libvte-dev installed.
[20:30] <mtbear> could someone help me with an install problem ... it bombs out after trying to install base system.  I get the following error message .. the install cannot figure out how to install the base system.  No installable CD was found and no valid mirror was found
[20:30] <ilpa> thanks gobbe ;)
[20:30] <richthegeek> SuNotisima: no, a package literally called "grub-manager" ... might only be available via PPA so check omgubuntu.co.uk for the related article
[20:30] <sacarlson> pjdelport: I thought the problem was that the bios was not booting it?  you think it is something else like maybe the method you programed the usb flash?  does it boot on any other systems?
[20:31] <julia> Sers. Ich versuch gerade ein HD Film (Matroska Video) auf meinem Laptop anzusehen. Leider stottert es beim mplayer. Gibts da nen Trick?
[20:31] <ilpa> gobbe: in /etc
[20:31] <SuNotisima> richthegeek: for grub2?
[20:31] <nmvictor> mtbear: trying to install via a network?
[20:31] <julia> Ah, crap. wrong chan
[20:31] <richthegeek> sorry, I mean "grub-customizer"
