[14:51] <Codenut> Sorry, I may had an answer before.
[14:51] <jonas3> :)
[14:51] <Codenut> If I add an other hard drive, Will Ubuntu just use it automatically?
[14:52] <h00k> Codenut: it will see it, but you'll have to tell it where
[14:52] <h00k> Codenut: you can do that in fsck, or you can use it in /media
[14:52] <h00k> Codenut: not fsck, but fstab
[14:52] <rob_p> Codenut: One line added to your /etc/fstab will allow Ubuntu to use it.
[14:54] <Slart> Codenut: you don't really need to put that line in the fstab either.. it will still show up in nautilus and so on..
[14:55] <drizzt__> I'm trying to mount a WinXP network share, but getting NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE despite valid name/pass. The same share is accessible from Windows, what can cause this?
[14:55] <rambo3> me too
[14:56] <Dink> Anyone using "terminator" on netbook remix ?
[14:56] <Dink> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6cdf9ad0
[14:56] <Dink> Looks like a display issue but I think it has something to do with netbook remix
[14:56] <the_real_dave> Hey, I'm having some trouble with Compiz. On my user, the one created during the install, Compiz works perfectly. However, on the user that I created after the install, it won't work. Setting Effects in Appearance returns "Desktop Effects cannot be enabled" and compiz --replace doesn't seem to work either. Any suggestions? :(
[14:57] <amb_> can not load in grub the uhci module?
[14:57] <llutz> drizzt__: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/472681
[14:58] <amb_> by trying to boot a usb device the insmod uhci hangs up the pc.
[15:01] <subdriven> So, I put 9.10 into hibernate last night (first time) and this morning my networking doesn't work at all.
[15:01] <subdriven> I've tried restarting the service, rebooting, cold booting, dhcp, static routes ...
[15:01] <subdriven> any thoughts?
[15:01] <forceflow> subdriven: rfkill list ?
[15:02] <forceflow> maybe it's hard/softblocked
[15:02] <subdriven> hmm. didn't think of that. I'm trying a live CD now to be sure it's not my card
[15:02] <drizzt__> llutz, not my case
[15:02] <forceflow> if it's hardblocked, the livecd wouldn't work either
[15:03] <forceflow> subdriven: laptop or desktop?
[15:03] <subdriven> forceflow: desktop. hard wired in, not wireless
[15:03] <forceflow> subdriven: ah, I see
[15:03] <apanda> i run 8.04 lts minimal as a server, is it a good idea to install a daily cronjob that does aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade?
[15:04] <pate> Hello! anybody have compile gstreamer with scratchbox？
[15:04] <djangonewb> Hello all I am new here :)
[15:04] <MASARUwota> !hi|djangonewb
[15:04] <debiant> subdriven: sudo ifup eth0 does what?
[15:05] <pate> djangonewb ,me too
[15:05] <wookienz> hi, trying to trouble shoot a "network" unreachable probelm. I have an IP addres sin the right subnet, i have a default route added via CLI.. but still cant ping outside network..ideas?
[15:05] <llutz> apanda: you might look at cron-apt or apticron
[15:05] <djangonewb> Thank you I love Ubuntu
[15:05] <djangonewb> I will ask and help as best I can
[15:05] <DaZ> !love | djangonewb
[15:05] <DaZ> damn >:
[15:06] <drizzt__> !love | drizzt__
[15:06] <apanda> llutz: thanks, will do
[15:06] <Slart> they've removed the love factoid..
[15:06] <subdriven> debiant: it will bring it up
[15:06] <pate> i use debian
[15:07] <subdriven> Am trying the 9.10 live cd and network won't work either. I'm getting good lights on the hardware though.
[15:07]  * subdriven scratches head
[15:07] <MASARUwota> !nixternal
[15:07] <MASARUwota> ^wat
[15:07] <Dunkirk> Does anyone know what sort of things mythbuntu gives you over just installing mythtv on top of "regular" ubuntu?
[15:08] <MASARUwota> Dunkirk: a preinstallation of it. lol
[15:08] <MASARUwota> Dunkirk: and theming
[15:08] <rob_p> wookienz: Why are you adding the default route via cli?  First make sure your network comes up working with a sane configuration.  Then start playing with adding/changing routing table entries.
[15:09] <wookienz> rob_p: my system is cli. dhcp is fine, gets right address. ping inside the network no problem, and gateway... just not outside
[15:09] <aguitel> anyone have error with emesene in jaunty ?
[15:10] <forceflow> subdriven: sure it isn't disabled in BIOS or something?
[15:10] <rob_p> wookienz: Then your DHCP server is misconfigured if your default gateway is not getting set or being set to the wrong IP.
[15:10] <Slart> wookienz: and of course the router works if you boot into any other os?
[15:10] <Slart> wookienz: or change "router" to "internet connection"
[15:10] <wookienz> firewall actually...but yes all other SO no problems.
[15:10] <tony_> Hey! what would u guys use to check for updates to a web page
[15:10] <forceflow> tony_: RSS?
[15:10] <Slart> tony_: wget + md5? or a firefox plugin
[15:11] <subdriven> forceflow: maybe, but unless putting into hibernation would do that, it shouldn't be
[15:11] <h00k> Can I have someone help me troubleshoot why my Window Decorations are broken on login, and no matter what I have under Appearance -> Visual effects, whenever I login, it's set to "none".  9.10 Karmic Koala, 64bit, nVidia 1.85 drivers. I've removed drivers and reinstalled, this is a fairly fresh install. I have my .xsession-errors here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/355527/ Perhaps I have something wrong in my gconf and its not starting nautilus
[15:11] <Slart> tony_: personally I use the "update scanner"-plugin
[15:11] <forceflow> subdriven: I know it's unlikely, but doesn't hurt to check :)
[15:12] <tony_> forceflow: its a bunch of regular webpages, i would like some kind of notification by mail for example -
[15:12] <forceflow> tony_: check firefox extensions then
[15:12] <drizzt__> btbtw how can I speed Ubunru up? I have 256M RAM on this machine and it's slow as hell
[15:12] <tony_> Slart: is that a firefox plugin?
[15:12] <subdriven> forceflow: yea, since the live CD isn't working either, that's my next step
[15:12] <forceflow> drizzt__: try running a lighter desktop manager. (xcfe, openbox, ...)
[15:12] <Slart> wookienz: well.. I would check the default gateway as well.. it seems to be the obvious thing to check first at least
[15:12] <Slart> tony_: yes
[15:12] <forceflow> drizzt__: and disable all unnecessary services
[15:13] <unimatrix9> hi there
[15:13] <MASARUwota> drizzt_: use a tiling wm or a lightweight one, trust me, it will be FAAAAAAAAAASTER
[15:13] <MASARUwota> :/
[15:13] <amee2k> i'm using EAGLE from the repo, but i can't load my own schematics. doing so fails with "Load error 291". i'm sure the file is not corrupted and i'm using the repo version with freeware license. (in fact i saved it two seconds before on the same system) has anyone else experienced this before?
[15:13] <blakkheim> drizzt__: use an ubuntu minimal install with a light window manager
[15:13] <MASARUwota> !hi|unimatrix9
[15:13] <unimatrix9> how can i see what alsa is using to record audio input signals?
[15:13] <wookienz> Slart: it is fine... other SO on the network have no issues. This CLI based ubunutu mahine just rebooted it self so noeed to being it back up. Def. a machine problem, not pfirewall
[15:14] <drizzt__> blakkheim, minimal install is without X?
[15:14] <steal> hi all, when i try to use my webcam on aMsn it work well on device /dev/video0:0 but when i try to start camorama it won't start the error is: "Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0) Please check connection.".
[15:14] <blakkheim> drizzt__: yes
[15:14] <Slart> wookienz: but everything works inside the network.. ping, ssh, browsing and so on?
[15:15] <toader> hi, can i shrink the size of one volume, and add it to another volume online?
[15:15] <Slart> wookienz: what kind of error do you get if you try pinging something like <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:15] <tony_> forceflow: Slart: Hmm well there doexnt seem to be a plugin like that for ff 3.5   -  if you were to build a script for checking updates - is wget/sed the way to go?
[15:16] <Slart> toader: not online.. not with ext2,ext3,ext4 at least.. you can do it but you'll have to unmount the partitions
[15:16] <jbwiv> so I hosed my Karmic system yesterday with apt-get dist-upgrade. It won't boot...acts like grub isn't installed. The error is "You must load a kernel first. Failed to boot default entries"). It flashes can't find C/H/S just before this. I boot up into the rescue CD, run update-grub and grub-install and everything works great, but on restart, same issue. Can anyone help?
[15:16] <Slart> tony_: wget with md5/crc32 might work.. sed for extra bling bling
[15:16] <subdriven> forceflow: Checked BIOS, they are on. However, set it to check the cable. Will see if that says anything
[15:17] <luist> #nbtk
[15:17] <napster> Why does the package "Linux" marked not installed on my system?
[15:17] <unimatrix9> how do i get an alsa device list form command line?
[15:17] <Slart> tony_: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3362
[15:17] <Slart> !info linux
[15:17] <przemo_one> hi
[15:17] <subdriven> cable checks are good
[15:17] <apanda> llutz cron-apt doesnt seem to do more than what i wanted to do if i read it right
[15:18] <Slart> napster: I think there are linux-generic and linux-server-generic etc.. so different kernel packages for different flavours
[15:18] <Slart> napster: not really sure what that package is meant to do
[15:18] <hareldvd> Looking for a land phone line recorder.
[15:18] <napster> Slart: But there is something called linux-image!
[15:19] <Goliath> how can i decrypt something with the FISH cipher?
[15:19] <forceflow> subdriven: sure there's nothing wrong with your DHCP server then?
[15:19] <Slart> !info linux-generic
[15:19] <Guest45716> hey there
[15:19] <Slart> !info linux-image
[15:19] <apanda> llutz except that i should add -y to the upgrade :)
[15:20] <Slart> napster: yes, there are lots of meta packages for the kernels..
[15:20] <protojay> Is there a way to download the 2.6.32 image with apt-get?
[15:20] <Slart> protojay: not for karmic, afaik
[15:20] <subdriven> forceflow: no, it's handing out to my other system
[15:20] <crisb2010> i am sitting behind a proxy and added http_proxy to my bash.bashrc file in /etc/. unfortunately it still doesn't work. is there another place where i have to put that variable?
[15:20] <subdriven> forceflow: and setting static doesn't work either
[15:20] <MASARUwota> protojay? what do you want to do? you can get the sourcecode at http://kernel.org afaik
[15:21] <napster> Slart: ok, tnx
[15:21] <erUSUL> !ppa | protojay there are some ppa with that kernel
[15:21] <tony_> Slart: thanks! but i need to be away from the computer.. and crc check would check a part of the page w. contains the date... so maybe schedule wget->Sed relevant part->text file & then compare w old file?
[15:22] <Slart> tony_: that sounds good.. wget -> sed .. perhaps run diff on that.. or use a checksum..that ought to work
[15:23] <tony_> Slart: what is the name of the program that runs checksum?(svf?)
[15:23] <subdriven> head->desk
[15:24] <Slart> tony_: there's md5sum, crc32 .. those just calculate the checksum on a stream sent to them.. (ls | md5sum is an example)  for using sfv files you can use cfv I think
[15:24] <Slart> !info cfv
[15:24] <Slart> !info md5sum
[15:24] <Slart> bah
[15:25] <Slart> tony, the command exists at least
[15:25] <dev305> I was install ubuntu9.10 in ubuntu9.04 now i want to remove ubuntu9.10, how i remove
[15:25] <DJones> !md5sum
[15:25] <tony_> Slart: thanks in bunches
[15:25] <Slart> tony_: you're welcome
[15:25] <dev305>  I was install ubuntu9.10 in ubuntu9.04 now i want to remove ubuntu9.10, how i remove
[15:25] <unop> tony_,   most webservers return a "Last-Modified:" field as part of the HTTP header
[15:26] <unop> tony_, you could check the value returned by this against your record
[15:26] <dev305>  I was install ubuntu9.10 in ubuntu9.04 now i want to remove ubuntu9.10, how i remove
[15:26] <LjL> !repeat | dev305
[15:26] <dev305> ok
[15:26] <tony_> unop: thx!
[15:27] <dev305>  I was install ubuntu9.10 in ubuntu9.04 now i want to remove ubuntu9.10, how i remove

Can anyone help?
[15:27] <LjL> dev305: your question makes not the slightest bit of sense, and that isn't helped by repeating it like a machine gun.
[15:27] <crisb2010> does nobody have an idea what the problem with the proxy might be?
[15:28] <dev305> oh
[15:28] <dev305> i want to remove ubuntu 9.10
[15:28] <jerico_> LjL: That made me laugh
[15:28] <dev305> what i do
[15:28] <LjL> crisb2010: does it work if you manually type export http_proxy=blah ?
[15:29] <LjL> dev305: just install something else onto its partition.
[15:29] <dev305> ok
[15:29] <LjL> dev305: if you want to downgrade from 9.10 to 9.04, you need to reinstall.
[15:29] <DJones> dev305: If you've upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10, the only option you've got is to reinstall
[15:29] <crisb2010> LjL: i just tried that, this doesn't work either
[15:29] <wookienz> Slart: "Network unreachable" for any ping
[15:29] <LjL> crisb2010: what program are you trying it with?
[15:29] <LjL> crisb2010: also, are you specifying the port, too?
[15:30] <mikey> Hey I have a few questions about the bash terminal, if anyone has some spare time :3 ?
[15:30] <crisb2010> LjL: i am in the terminal
[15:30] <Slart> wookienz: odd.. not really sure what to check.. perhaps someone else has an idea
[15:30] <h00k> Can I have someone help me troubleshoot why my Window Decorations are broken on login, and no matter what I have under Appearance -> Visual effects, whenever I login, it's set to "none".  9.10 Karmic Koala, 64bit, nVidia 1.85 drivers. I've removed drivers and reinstalled, this is a fairly fresh install. I have my .xsession-errors here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/355527/
[15:30] <Slart> mikey: just ask
[15:30] <crisb2010> LjL: and i tried to do a simple ping and an apt-get update
[15:30] <wookienz> Slart: yes it is wierd....i have done what i usuallly do!
[15:30] <dev305> no i have both versiond in my desktop
[15:30] <LjL> crisb2010: "ping" ignores any proxy (since "ping" is not about http). as to apt-get, i think i recall you need to set a specific config option for it - moment
[15:31] <mikey> kk, well when I update my /etc/bash.bashrc it seemingly updates my terminal (eg; echo statements etc), but altering the PS1 line does not seem to alter my colours.
[15:31] <dev305> i want to remove one version
[15:31] <crisb2010> LjL: i guess that the software center doesn't work has to do with that too, right?
[15:31] <ChogyDan> How can I open an encrypted zip file?  It says: "unsupported compression method 99"
[15:31] <LjL> crisb2010: yeah, software center just uses apt
[15:32] <mikey> ChogyDan there is an apt-get for that, can't quite remember it though 1 tick
[15:32] <mikey> sudo apt-get install unrar
[15:32] <ChogyDan> mikey: thanks, I will try that
[15:33] <LjL> crisb2010: try adding the line « Acquire::http::Proxy "http://server:port" » to your /etc/apt/apt.conf
[15:33] <crisb2010> LjL: let me try
[15:33] <drizzt__> I'm trying to mount a WinXP network share, but getting NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE despite valid name/pass. The same share is accessible from Windows, what can cause this?
[15:33] <ChogyDan> mikey: hmm, I already have that, Im going to try 7zip.  I totally forgot to google my error!  /facepalm
[15:34] <mikey> yeah I ily 7zip for windows
[15:34] <crisb2010> LjL: was already in there, perhaps because i set the proxy system wide
[15:34] <LjL> hmm
[15:34] <vallhalla81> good day all
[15:34] <LjL> crisb2010: are you positive the proxy server itself works, and doesn't need authentication?
[15:34] <papna> I'm running Hardy and can't play mp3s. I've installed ubuntu-restricted-extras and gstremear0.10-plugins*. I've tried in rhythmbox and totem.
[15:34] <crisb2010> LjL: jep
[15:35] <LjL> crisb2010: does it work with any program - like w3m or wget or something?
[15:35] <mikey> papna: you using amarok?
[15:35] <papna> mikey, No.
[15:35] <mikey> as I recently had a problem with amarok and the fix was randomly easy
[15:35] <mikey> ah k'
[15:36] <papna> mikey, And it's definitely not applicable?
[15:36] <mikey> papna: hmmm I'm trying to remember the specifics
[15:37] <ChogyDan> mikey: fwiw, installing p7zip-full worked for me.  Maybe that was just the compression of the file.  thanks!
[15:37] <crisb2010> LjL: now it works
[15:37] <crisb2010> LjL: thanks for the help
[15:37] <mikey> ChogyDan: haha didn't have much to do with me ;P
[15:37] <mikey> papna check your config
[15:37] <mikey> for the mp3 program
[15:38] <mikey> what sound driver/card does it say it is using?

[15:40] <erUSUL> h00k: /var/log/Xorg.0.log may be needed too
[15:40] <mikey> can someone help me with my unresponse bash.bashrc issue D:?
[15:41] <mikey> unresponsive*
[15:41] <geissevogler> yeah
[15:41] <geissevogler> its your harddisk
[15:41] <vallhalla81> mikey: can ypu pastbin your .bashrc?
[15:41] <mikey> yeah brb
[15:42] <ink> this is an odd problem; i used to have a ~/.xmodmap file that swapped ESC with ~ (my old unicomp 104 keyboard).  It died, and now I have a crappy generic USB keyboard, but I can't get gnome to forget about the swap
[15:42] <Madcatz> Good afternoon everybody, I have a server set up with Ubuntu 9.10 on it, I have several physical seperate hard disks, I am wondering if I can merge these all in to one gigantic partition or have when one hdd is full, move on to the next one? Having a quick scan through gparted I am unable to do so, any ideas?
[15:42] <erUSUL> !lvm | Madcatz you can use lvm
[15:42] <jerico_> Does anyone know how to change power options with only gnome-core installed?  Is there a config file I can edit?
[15:42] <simple_> hi all
[15:42] <h00k> erUSUL: it'd be here, if you're interested: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/355568/
[15:42] <simple_> how can i disable NotifyOSD on ubuntu ?
[15:42] <coz_> Madcatz,  if no one can help here try  ##linux channel
[15:42] <jerico_> I want to prevent my screen from shutting off.
[15:42] <mikey> vallhalla81: http://pastebin.org/74933
[15:43] <goathens> I dualboot with winXP and need to to a reinstallation of that OS. It *always* seems to overwrite GRUB when I do that.  What's a good solution to this?  I'm considering nlite to slipstream the installation- can I make this skip the MBR?
[15:43] <vallhalla81> mikey: just reading it now one moment
[15:43] <h00k> Can I have someone help me troubleshoot why my Window Decorations are broken on login, and no matter what I have under Appearance -> Visual effects, whenever I login, it's set to "none".  9.10 Karmic Koala, 64bit, nVidia 1.85 drivers. I've removed drivers and reinstalled, this is a fairly fresh install. I have my .xsession-errors here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/355527/ and Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/355568/
[15:43] <mikey> cheers mate
[15:43] <coz_> goathens,  you would have
[15:43] <mikey> goathens: I tend to install XP then Nix afterward
[15:43] <mikey> as ubuntu cleverly fixes the grub partition
[15:43] <mikey> I think that's what I did..
[15:43] <h00k> goathens: make sure you don't have any third party backup or recovery software, sometimes they like to overwrite the MBR
[15:43] <coz_> goathens,   you would have to reinstall grub2      you might get more help on  #grub channel
[15:43] <erUSUL> h00k: there is no erros there ... maybe you ca try to run « compiz --replace » from a terminal and see if it is some error reported ?
[15:43] <goathens> mikey: yeah that's what i always do.
[15:43] <Madcatz> erUSUL doesn't LVM mean that I cannot have my root hard drive, and then the other 4 hdds as one whole unit, I thought LVM would make it every hdd as one unit?
[15:43] <debiant> simple: http://www.killertechtips.com/2009/04/26/disable-notifications-in-ubuntu-904-jaunty-jackalope/
[15:44] <JyZyXEL> does 9.10 work on eeepc?
[15:44] <Madcatz> erUSUL, I want my first HDD as the home folder etc and root files, then the 4 other hdds as storage on a server
[15:44] <simple_> thnks debiant , ill look for it
[15:44] <vallhalla81> mikey: what problem are you finding with bash?
[15:44] <erUSUL> Madcatz: lvm can merge multiple paritions/hd in one volume that's the point (among many others) of it
[15:44] <goathens> Thanks for the suggestions. I'll just read up on reinstalling grub.
[15:45] <mikey> vallhalla81: It prints out the echo's and text output perfectly, however I can not colorise my terminal so to speak
[15:45] <Madcatz> erUSUL is there anything simpler than that?
[15:45] <erUSUL> Madcatz: no that i know of
[15:46] <vallhalla81> mikey: what terminal are you using?
[15:46] <mikey> erm
[15:46] <mikey> does ps?

[15:46] <JyZyXEL> does 9.10 work on eeepc?
[15:46] <Madcatz> erUSUL so you install lvm before ubuntu?
[15:46] <client2> hsh
[15:47] <erUSUL> Madcatz: no you can create a lvm volume after installing ubuntu afaik.
[15:47] <mikey> it's from a fresh install of ubuntu karmic, so... normal bash? gnome-bash?
[15:47] <vallhalla81> mikey: ok one moment
[15:48] <jbwiv> my Ubuntu Karmic system was somehow hosed yesterday with apt-get dist-upgrade. It won't boot...acts like grub isn't installed. The error is "You must load a kernel first. Failed to boot default entries"). It flashes can't find C/H/S just before this. I boot up into the rescue CD, run update-grub and grub-install and everything works great, but on restart, same issue. Can anyone help?
[15:48] <sephy> JyZyXEL: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC
[15:49] <thiebaude> jbwiv, maybe you might have to re-install it
[15:49] <vallhalla81> mikey: this link should explain all you need to get them going if you get stuck will be here still
[15:49] <vallhalla81> http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Color_Bash_Prompt
[15:49] <mikey> cheers mate brb
[15:49] <jbwiv> thiebaude: re-install ubuntu? Why exactly, if I can get into the rescue cd? I need to figure out why grub doesn't seem to be installing properly to the MBR....
[15:50] <thiebaude> jbwiv, its just a suggestion
[15:50] <jbwiv> thiebaude, thx
[15:50] <thiebaude> yw
[15:50] <h00k> erUSUL: Well, it did crash, but the history was left in the terminal, I had to log back out and then back in, I'll see if I can reproduce it
[15:51] <Madcatz> erUSUL is there nothing I can do in the ubuntu install to make it use the all the hdd as one ?
[15:51] <erUSUL> h00k: next time do « compiz --replace &> compiz-error-log.txt » to capture the errors
[15:51] <h00k> erUSUL: yeah, when I did this, there were none.
[15:52] <erUSUL> Madcatz: dunno i think only the server install has the option of using lvm during install but i could be wrong
[15:52] <h00k> erUSUL: I am now in a fresh session, I can try to pipe it to a file
[15:52] <h00k> erUSUL: so, window decorations are now broken
[15:52] <Madcatz> erUSUL ok i will give it a try, thanks for your help
[15:52] <erUSUL> no problem
[15:54] <haresh> hello can i ask how can i convert a pdf file in to word or excle to do editing to it
[15:55] <debiant> haresh: http://www.pdftoword.com/
[15:57] <haresh> debiant, i tryed it already not working
[15:58] <debiant> haresh: what's it not doing?  Is it a drmed or password protected pdf?
[15:58] <haresh> nope its not
[15:58] <debiant> haresh: have you tried pdftotext?
[15:59] <haresh> its a fiels got alot of info and tables and stuffs
[16:00] <erUSUL> !info pdfedit
[16:00] <ScoobyDoo> Where is the default icon for archives on ubuntu?
[16:01] <h00k> erUSUL: starting from freshly-logged-in-session and running compiz --replace, I get: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/355578/
[16:01] <h00k> erUSUL: and compiz does, in fact, work, change Desktop Effects to the third box.
[16:02] <debiant> haresh: your best bet in that case is probably an html conversion, but the format is still probably going to be screwed up... pdf does not convert well.
[16:02] <erUSUL> h00k: so the problemis that it does not work at first log ...  use compiz fusion icon
[16:02] <haresh> u want me send u and let u see the files ?
[16:02] <h00k> erUSUL: I can, but that just seems to be a bandaid for something I didn't previously need
[16:03] <erUSUL> h00k: yep :/ dunno what else to do sorry
[16:03] <marc__> huu
[16:03] <marc__> hu
[16:03] <h00k> erUSUL: it's alright, I'll keep asking around
[16:03] <acicula> h00k: file a BR on launchpad and make a post on the forum, seems its a bit too tricky to solve via irc :/
[16:03] <debiant> haresh: I'm going to have to leave in a minute, you might also try calibre as it is pretty good at conversion.
[16:04] <haresh> huh
[16:04] <haresh> how can i do that
[16:05] <debiant> haresh:  http://calibre-ebook.com/

[16:08] <Sonderblade_> in ubuntu 9.04 pressing ctrl+c in a terminal doesnt immediately kill the process and you have to press ctrl+c multiple times. is there a way to fix that?
[16:09] <Aled> I'm unable to reorder tabs in Firefox D:
[16:09] <acicula> Sonderblade_: means the program is intercepting the ctrl-c and trying to shutdown nicely
[16:09] <Slart> Sonderblade_: is that different from other distros?
[16:09] <Aled> Nor am I able to in Chatzilla
[16:10] <Sonderblade_> acicula: i doubt it, the same programs used to terminate immediately when ctrl+c was pressed
[16:10] <Sonderblade_> Slart: it is different from how it used to be

[16:11] <bloodski> two questions, when using hdmi, the screen is always bigger than the tv can display (some pixels not showing) i can fix this in the tv settings, but it's okay outside ubuntu, any ideas? question two; can i change the theme to look more like windows 7 or similar?
[16:11] <raven_> which tool can help me to display costs/volume of mobile-internet-dialups?
[16:11] <jbwiv> debiant, running what exactly? and do you mean booted of the cd? Because I can't boot off the hd
[16:12] <KaffeeJunky123> Hi, I want to print over a cups server with Ubuntu 9.04, I can find the printer in the network but when I try to print something ubuntu tells me that the printer is not connected

[16:12] <maverick_> how can i hide the native xfce apps from the gnome menu and vice-versa?
[16:13] <debiant> jbwiv: your initial post made it sound like once you ran grub-install you were able to boot off the hd once, can you pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[16:13] <Guest4252> Hi
[16:13] <acicula> maverick_: edit the menu
[16:13] <maverick_> acicula: ok..
[16:14] <jbwiv> debiant, I was able to yesterday once using the Karmic live cd. Can't even get that to work anymore
[16:14] <Guest4252> Can anyone guide me in installing a new package
[16:14] <Guest4252> ???
[16:14] <Guest4252> Im a new bie
[16:14] <Guest4252> :-(
[16:14] <jbwiv> debiant, can't paste menu.lst because I can't get X running (sigh). Let me figure out a way
[16:14] <FloodBot1> Guest4252: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:14] <Gnea> Guest4252: what package?
[16:14] <ende> I can't make XP magically transform into linux :(
[16:14] <debiant> jbwiv: can you not mount the drive from the livecd?
[16:15] <Guest4252> Mysql
[16:16] <the_real_dave> Hey, I'm having some trouble with Compiz. On my user, the one created during the install, Compiz works perfectly. However, on the user that I created after the install, it won't work. Setting Effects in Appearance returns "Desktop Effects cannot be enabled" and compiz --replace doesn't seem to work either. Any suggestions? :(
[16:16] <Guest4252> its like i want to install it using terminal where can i find the package name???
[16:16] <acicula> Guest4252: apt-cache search mysql
[16:16] <maco> the_real_dave: are you trying to use it with both users logged in at once?
[16:17] <acicula> !mysql > Guest4252
[16:17] <the_real_dave> maco: no, one user logged in
[16:17] <jbwiv> debiant, yes, loading the cd up now
[16:17] <ende> Hmm.. the website says that a .img is available from the download page but I can only find the .iso download
[16:17] <maco> the_real_dave: ok. i dont know then
[16:17] <the_real_dave> maco: thanks all the sam
[16:17] <acicula> ende: isos are good
[16:17] <the_real_dave> *same
[16:18] <ende> acicula: aye but I'm trying to create my usb 'boot disk' from Mac
[16:18] <ende> using Disk Utility, which requires a .img as the source
[16:19] <debiant> jbwiv: sorry, I have to go... someone should be able to help once you have the menu.lst
[16:19] <acicula> !usbstick
[16:19] <acicula> !usb > ende
[16:21] <Guest4252> ok
[16:21] <Guest4252> ok
[16:22] <ende> thanks, ive read those.
[16:22] <acicula> ende: explains how you make a boot stick from the iso on the mac
[16:22] <ende> Im gunna try downloading the iso again.  Should have probably md5'd it.  I was able to create a VM from it in VMWare however
[16:22] <acicula> thats not working?
[16:23] <ende> from that page: "Note: this procedure requires an .img file; it will not work with an .iso file. [Note: this should explain/link to how to obtain an .img file]"
[16:23] <ende> hence my question ;)
[16:24] <ende> I don't care much how I get my usb stick working as long as it works.. I'm also trying to do it via ubuntu VM.
[16:24] <blakkheim> ende: that sounds more like a mac-specific question than an ubuntu one
[16:24] <ende> Just tried to boot off of it on a 3rd pc however and nada… so might be the download
[16:24] <theadmin> How can one reset file associations to default?
[16:24] <NateW> does anyone else have a dell studio xps? im asking because it keeps locking up (i7, 9GB ram). i think it might be an issue with the motherboard but i would like to rule out it being ubuntu.
[16:24] <ende> I'm not tied to a mac solution here :)
[16:24] <ende> will come back if I have more Qs. Thanks
[16:25] <blakkheim> ende: what i meant was you should try a mac-specific channel
[16:25] <acicula> ende: heh usefull :/
[16:25] <ende> ah
[16:25] <fahadsadah> NateW: Firstly, bloody hell!
[16:25] <fahadsadah> How much did that thing cost?
[16:25] <acicula> ende: dunno about where to get an .img
[16:25] <fahadsadah> NateW: RE your problem, what makes you think it's hardware?
[16:25] <NateW> fahadsadah: $1600 including a 24" monitor
[16:25] <h00k> erUSUL, acicula: FYI, I removed ~/.local/share/applications/compiz.desktop, logged out, back in, and everything is back to normal.
[16:25] <ikonia> !info trickle
[16:26] <acicula> ende: VM and then unetbooting for usb creation should work
[16:26] <ende> acicula: yeah, I think I'll have to stick to figuring out a way with the .iso for now
[16:26] <acicula> h00k: cool :)
[16:26] <erUSUL> h00k: congrats and noted
[16:26] <ende> ah yeah, I read about unetbooting somwhere but forgot what it was called.  Thanks, I'll check that out.
[16:26] <acicula> h00k: so it was starting compiz all the time or?
[16:26] <blakkheim> acicula: actually it probably won't since he is using a mac
[16:26] <acicula> blakkheim: VM
[16:26] <h00k> acicula: it was supposed to be doing this, but wasn't
[16:26] <blakkheim> acicula: then why would you suggest unetbootin?
[16:26] <bloodski> two questions, when using hdmi, the screen is always bigger than the tv can display (some pixels not showing) i can fix this in the tv settings, but it's okay outside ubuntu, any ideas? question two; can i change the theme to look more like windows 7 or similar?
[16:26] <fahadsadah> NateW: Is there anything that plainly suggests the problem is hardware?
[16:27] <fahadsadah> Can you Ctrl+Alt+1?
[16:27] <ende> well, we'll find out won't we :)
[16:27] <blakkheim> acicula: i've had a lot of troubles getting a mac to boot from usb since there is no BIOS
[16:27] <ende> ill let ya know what happens
[16:27] <fr3ak> what up suman?
[16:27] <NateW> fahadsadah: sometimes the live disk does not want to start up, complaining about the usb ports, sometimes the built in card reader will not work, occasionally ubuntu will not start up, it locks at gdm, and it quite often freezes on me (expect for the mouse).. the issues last for hours to days, and CTRL + ALT + F# does not work
[16:27] <acicula> ende: ok good luck
[16:27] <ende> blakkeim, I'm actually just using a mac (among other computers here) to create the ub stick.  The target computer is an Asus eee pc 1005hab.
[16:28] <NateW> fahdasadah: did a memtest, benched the harddisk and video card and it all works great
[16:28] <ende> s/ub/usb
[16:28] <suman> fine
[16:28] <blakkheim> ende: oh ok then that should be ok
[16:28] <suman> what about you
[16:28] <fahadsadah> NateW: When it locks up, can you skinny-elephants it down?
[16:28] <NateW> fahadsadah: meaning?
[16:28] <fahadsadah> Raising Skinny Elephants Is Utterly Boring
[16:29] <fahadsadah> SysRQ+R, SysRQ+S, SysRQ+E, etc etc etc
[16:29] <subdriven> forceflow: threw another nic in the box and it works
[16:29] <fahadsadah> SysRQ usually shares a key with PrintScreen
[16:29] <h00k> NateW: fn+sysrq+R, fn+sysrq+S, with R S E I U B
[16:29] <NateW> fahadsadah: never tried that yet
[16:29] <hellyeah> ghey
[16:29] <hellyeah> pls help
[16:29] <theadmin> Yah, it's usually Alt+PrtSc+R, S, E, I, U, B.
[16:29] <h00k> NateW: if you're on a laptop, try fn+sysrq, then it won't do printscreen
[16:30] <hellyeah> i install ubuntu within windows with setup file
[16:30] <theadmin> hellyeah: WUBI?
[16:30] <hellyeah> but now i can see windows partition
[16:30] <subdriven> forceflow: NO idea how putting system into standby would hose up the onboard nic but some how there was a cosmic fart or something and there it is
[16:30] <hellyeah> buone of them actually ubuntu is there
[16:30] <hellyeah> but i cannot see c: partition
[16:30] <fahadsadah> h00k: Do you know of any laptops with i7s and 9GB DDR3?
[16:30] <hellyeah> theadmin,  what is wubi
[16:30] <fahadsadah> h00k: Triple channel DDR3
[16:30] <theadmin> hellyeah: It should be under /host
[16:30] <theadmin> hellyeah: WUBI is the thing you install Ubuntu with within windows
[16:31] <hellyeah> ha okey
[16:31] <acicula> fahadsadah: actually those exist yes
[16:31] <fahadsadah> 0.o
[16:31] <hellyeah> myou said your partition must be under /host directory
[16:31] <acicula> though 9GB is slightly odd
[16:31] <theadmin> hellyeah: Yeah, it should be there.
[16:31] <fahadsadah> acicula: Not really.
[16:32] <fahadsadah> The i7's memory controller is triple-channel
[16:32] <acicula> fahadsadah: yeah but they dont make 3gb dimms
[16:32] <fahadsadah> Three DIMMs per channel, then
[16:32] <wjt_> 谁能回答我一个问题呀
[16:33] <fahadsadah> !ubuntu-zh | wjt_
[16:33] <fr3ak> english only plz
[16:33] <h00k> fahadsadah: http://system76.com/product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=99
[16:33] <acicula> fahadsadah: 9x1GB ? not on a consumer board
[16:33] <NateW> fahadsadah: just froze on me again, and SysRq + something rebooted my computer
[16:33] <fahadsadah> !ubuntu-china | wjt_
[16:33] <theadmin> NateW: It's supposed to.
[16:33] <erUSUL> !cn | wjt_
[16:33] <fahadsadah> NateW: Not hardware then.
[16:33] <fahadsadah> Usually not, anyway.
[16:33] <wjt_> 没有人回答我呀
[16:33] <NateW> fahadsadah: okay.. what would cause that issue?
[16:33] <h00k> fahadsadah: does this help?
[16:33] <NateW> i installed ubuntu twice now
[16:34] <the_real_dave> !cn | wjt_
[16:34] <fabzio> ciao a tutti sono novizio come si fa a scaricare e condividere file
[16:34] <acicula> !it | fahadsadah
[16:34] <theadmin> eh.
[16:34] <acicula> err fabzio
[16:34] <wjt_> 哎
[16:34] <theadmin> !it | fabzio
[16:34] <the_real_dave> !cn > wjt_
[16:34] <theadmin> wjt_: English please.
[16:35] <fahadsadah> !jp | wjt_
[16:35] <acicula> NateW: did you have hardware issues with the os the xps came with?
[16:35] <fahadsadah> NateW: acicula has a point - it could be drivers.
[16:35] <NateW> fahadsadah: the only thing that is different from standard 64bit ubuntu, is that im using the nvidia-vdpau ppa, i will try not using that
[16:35] <NateW> acicula: i dont use win 7 at all
[16:35] <wjt_> 都在说什么呀
[16:36] <ikonia> !jp | wjt_
[16:36] <NateW> acicula, fahadsadah: i reformatted first thing :P
[16:36] <NateW> fahadsadah: but do you think it might have to do with the nvidia drivers?
[16:36] <acicula> NateW: well for troubleshooting purposes it may be worth to check
[16:37] <fahadsadah> NateW: Possibly
[16:37] <fahadsadah> Also, Windows 7 does have quite good hardware support, so it's quite possible that it might work there.
[16:37] <acicula> NateW: assuming you're stuck with the win7 license/are not trying to get it refunded
[16:38] <fahadsadah> acicula: If Dell refunded it (unlikely), they wouldn't refund full retail cost, but the cost to them.
[16:38] <NateW> fahadsadah: and the issues didnt start the first month or so i had the computer, it started after christmas holidays.. i think the 195 drivers were on the ppa during that time.. i had the 190 drivers installed before that..
[16:38] <fahadsadah> Which is around half the cost of standard OEM.
[16:38] <fahadsadah> NateW: Try downgrading to those
[16:39] <fahadsadah> If it's still broken, it's likely hardware.

[16:42] <dashavoo> my parents computer died a horrible death while I was staying with them over xmas, and I have managed to obtain an old computer or them to use until they get a new one, but there are no cd writers in the house (on working machines anyway) - if I switch the hdd from their old computer to the new even older pc, will ubuntu be able to boot?
[16:42] <epaphus> Hello, what is the name of that search function in Kubuntu? is it stigri???
[16:43] <theadmin> dashavoo: Most likely yes, unless the hard-drive is unreadable
[16:44] <frenzy_usa> dashavoo, It should.  You might have install/reinstall some programs/drivers to get full use of the "new" computer
[16:44] <epaphus> anybody know?
[16:44] <dashavoo> thanks theadmin and frenzy_usa - I'll give it a go then. It saves going down to the library to use the computers there to burn an installer

[16:50] <pookey> hi all - when installing ubuntu, it askedm e if I wanted to use an encrypted home folder-  how do I go about settnig this up for new users, or changing my current user to use it?  the wiki page on it is out of date, and so I'm not sure it does thigns in teh current 'best practices' way
[16:51] <acicula> pookey: its set on a per user basis, think you can toggle it when you create a new usr
[16:51] <acicula> *user
[16:51] <Vincent_k> I have the scaling applet started and it seems to work but I have no cpu related modules loaded acording to lsmod? i'm confused and google gives nothing
[16:51] <acicula> !ecryptfs > pookey
[16:51] <bloodski> !pastebin
[16:51] <pookey> acicula: should have have done something? :)
[16:51] <acicula> pookey: hoping it explained ecryptfs
[16:52] <acicula> pookey: its in the wiki, anyway the home encryption is on a per user base
[16:52] <pookey> yeah, I want it per home, however the wiki paeg I found tells you to modify pam.d/common-auth, which specifically tells you not to edit it, and the changes it suggests don't relfect what's in the file either
[16:53] <acicula> pookey: eh?
[16:53] <bloodski> here's my alsamixer : http://imagebin.org/79540 --- optical audio not working
[16:53] <frenzy_usa> Anyone use QuickBooks Pro in VirtualBox?
[16:53] <g0tcha> hey guys, is it possible to use ssh tunneling with Terminal?
[16:54] <acicula> g0tcha: yeh
[16:54] <fr3ak> @bloodski may be i can help you
[16:54] <llutz> g0tcha: sure
[16:54] <pookey> acicula: sorry, I'm not surewhich bit of what I said didn't make sense.... the wiki page (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedHomeFolder) tells me to motify /etc/pam.d/common-auth - that file tells me that it's managed by pam-auth-update, and the file contents do not reflect what that wiki page suggests it should contain
[16:54] <sravan_> Suppose if my friend's comp  is connected to my comp through  blue tooth or WiFi or some mechanism , How can I know the IP or MAC adress of HIS ( my friend's ) comp ???
[16:54] <bloodski> appreciate it fr3ak, it should say something with with Nvidia intel alsa or something
[16:54] <g0tcha> how do i get to do that?
[16:54] <g0tcha> the way i do it is i start a terminal, i start an ssh tunnel then setup my firefox with those proxy settings
[16:55] <llutz> g0tcha: create a tunnel  like "ssh -D wxyz user@host", use "tsocks <app>" then
[16:55] <Shdwdrgn> anyone familiar with using openldap for shell logins?  I'm trying to change it to use the full email address (mail) instead of uid for the login name.
[16:55] <bloodski> fr3ak: but now it says, Generic 10de Nvidia HDMI instead... hdmi audio works, but not optical audio from spdif
[16:55] <pookey> acicula: useradd doesn't have anything  abouti t for configuring it on new users either.   I can probably follow one of the guides somewhere , however I want to do it the 'right' way according to how ubuntu does it itself on install
[16:56] <acicula> pookey: thats pretty dated, ubuntu sets up the encryption for you
[16:56] <llutz> g0tcha: tsocks should be configured to the port you use
[16:56] <ghufran> hi .. i want to run my mouse using the keyboard .. i enabled the option in preferences -> assitive tech -> keyboard prefs -> mouse keys but i dont know hwat key combination i have to use to make the mouse to move from the keyboard
[16:56] <wasutton3> sravan_ you could always run a traceroute, that would give you everything between your computer and your choice of server
[16:56] <pookey> acicula: right, I just need to figureo ut how, because I selected 'no' during install
[16:57] <g0tcha> llutz, so for example are wxyz flags?
[16:57] <MorphyNOR> ghufran: you can move your mousepointer with your keypad, just turn off num lock
[16:57] <llutz> g0tcha: port
[16:57] <flaco> Hi all... I got a weird problem here... my grub fails with Error 2, I-m now in a live session and when I try to mount the linux partition I get  "Exit code 32: mount: Stale NFS file handle" , NFS???  any ideas how to solve this??
[16:57] <acicula> pookey: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory
[16:57] <llutz> g0tcha: i.e. ssh -D 1080   to create a tunnel at port 1080
[16:57] <ghufran> MorphyNOR: i dont have the keypad... and hence no numlock
[16:58] <acicula> though that is also slightly dated as it sets up an encrypted Private directory rather then encrypting your entire home
[16:58] <bloodski> cat /proc/asound/version -- says 1.0.18rc3 -- but alsamixer says 1.0.21
[16:58] <g0tcha> llutz, the way i use it is "ssh -vv -l user -f -ND 1080 hostname" .. i never tried the way you said.. ill give it a try now
[16:58] <llutz> g0tcha: it's doeing basically the same
[16:58] <pookey> acicula: perahps it's enough for me to figure it out from though, I'll have a look though - thanks
[16:59] <g0tcha> llutz, ah cool thanks.. one last thing, what do you mean by "tsock <app>" ?
[17:00] <llutz> g0tcha: thats to call applications using the tunnel, even if they aren't configured to use socks-proxy
[17:01] <Dreamglider> i have a small problem, my system time keeps being about 5 second ahead of the rest of the world and i cant find any "sync to NTP server" in the Clock im using Ubuntu 8.10.

[17:02] <Dreamglider> twig11: you can install it of a USB drive
[17:02] <Pelo> twig11, it fist on a ce , the extra date is just info for the cd image,  just burn the image to cd , do not try and copy the file on the cd
[17:03] <spysam> twig burning the image should work just fine
[17:03] <pookey> acicula: FYI - adduser --encrypt-home
[17:04] <acicula> pookey: ah :)
[17:04] <twig11> spysam: Brasero says it won't fit.
[17:04] <pookey> acicula: thanks :)
[17:04] <Pelo> twig11, where did you get the .iso from ?
[17:04] <frische> #447310  it is said there that the bug is fixed for lucid. do fixes like this come to older version, i.e. karmic?
[17:05] <Pelo> and twig11 , it's also possible you don'T have the right kind of cd,  not all of them are 80min 700 mg
[17:05] <twig11> Pelo: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/9.10/release/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-powerpc.iso
[17:05] <pookey> acicula: oh, and...    ecryptfs-setup-private --username USER --all-home    <=- migth work - not tested but I've found the man page now I know what I'm looking for
[17:06] <g0tcha> llutz, hmm how am i supposed to find out the application to start it with tsocks?
[17:06] <spysam> twig --> "On a 74 minute CD, one can fit larger images using RAW mode ~747 MiB" ( Straight from wikipedia )
[17:06] <the_real_dave> Hey, I'm having some trouble with Compiz. On my user, the one created during the install, Compiz works perfectly.

Any suggestions? :(

[17:08] <spysam> guess you could also trying burning it in a DVD ?

[17:12] <plazia> Using Nautilus in GNOME I'm able to mount my NTFS partitions quickly and easily. I simple click the entry in Nautilus and it prompts for authentication. However I've started using IceWM or FvWM and using "nautilus --no-desktop" and when I click the NTFS drive it says unable to mount authentication required but offers no means to put it in. Can anyone help here?
[17:12] <theadmin> Thanks, frische.

[17:13] <Pelo> danny_, in the printer config, just pick the model closest to yours
[17:14]  * Claudiu is away: Away for now ..
[17:14] <Pici> obiwan_: Ah. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ng_(disambiguation) says it may mean "New Generation"
[17:14] <amb_> @plazia could it be that your last session with the NTFS drive was on a Win system and not terminated well
[17:14] <frische> danny_: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=how+can+i+install+a+cannon+ip1800+printer+on+ubuntu%3F

[17:14] <Dreamglider> need help to sync my time, im abt 5 seconds ahead of time.
[17:14] <Pici> frische: That is not helpful here
[17:15] <master_> can i help someone?
[17:15] <Dreamglider> master_: yes please, help me sync my system time.
[17:15] <amb_> @plazia or ist it just with every NTFS -drive happend
[17:15] <twig11> Pelo: I'm in the sticks. No DSL available, even with a landline. The cellular internet card I tried from AT&T couldn't get a good signal. Dial-up is too slow.
[17:15] <Pelo> danny_, assuming this is a usb printer, pluggin it in and powering on should automaticaly install it
[17:15] <plazia> amb_, yeah I've heard of that problem before. but no last session was inside gnome where the drive was mounted fine. then rebooted back straight into ubuntu and the drive can't be mounted inside icewm
[17:15] <frische> Pici: it helps me? *shrug*
[17:15] <plazia> I think nautilus must load some sorta authentication system inside the GNOME environment
[17:15] <chrisw1> gpg is whining at me, how can I create more entropy on a headless box?
[17:15] <maco> chrisw1: network traffic
[17:16] <Pelo> twig11, are you able to burn the iso to a dvd ?
[17:16] <chrisw1> maco: there's plenty of that :-S
[17:16] <eduardo> Olá
[17:16] <amb_> did you tryed the force command
[17:16] <mikeg3> !grub
[17:16] <maco> chrisw1: setup another ssh connection to it then bash away at vim in it?
[17:16] <chrisw1> amb_: was that at me?
[17:16] <plazia> amb_, you can right-click the drive and do a force-mount in nautilus?
[17:16] <ghufran> can someone tell me the keys to use to move the mouse using the keyboard? i am on a laptop and it doesnt have the numpad
[17:17] <Pelo> ghufran, there is a pacakge for that ,  let me check for the name
[17:17] <twig11> Pelo: spysam: No DVDs on hand. But you think if I burn it right I can fit it on a 700MB CD?
[17:17] <amb_> @plazia you can mount anything from a terminal
[17:17] <danny_> Pelo: it is a usb printer but no...it didnt install it automatically
[17:17] <maco> ghufran: i think you need to enable it in either keyboard or mouse settings but since i use kubuntu i dont know which it is in ubuntu
[17:17] <plazia> amb_, yeah I'm pretty sure I can. but I don't want to have to type in every time I want to mount my drive when it was simply a one click operation in nautillus
[17:17] <Pelo> twig11, it should but like I said, check the cd,  they are not all 700mb 80 min,  my neigbour bought some that were only 60 min by mistake
[17:18] <plazia> amb_, well I "think" I remember the mount commands :)
[17:18] <maco> ghufran: though your laptop should have a Fn key that enables the numpad.... shouldnt it?
[17:18] <twig11> Pelo: it is a 700mb
[17:18] <Pelo> danny_, I checked the list there is a pixmax ip2000 on it try that one
[17:18] <ghufran> maco: i enabled it from the accessibility section ... i just need to know how to operate this thing ..
[17:18] <amb_>   @chrisw1 I was asking vor help for using grub2 for booting usb's
[17:18] <danny_> ok i will
[17:18] <twig11> Pelo: can you provide instructions for getting it on there?
[17:19] <Pelo> twig11, hold on , there is a list of install option I'll triger it for you there is probably one for usb install if you have a usb flash drive big enough
[17:19] <Pelo> !install > twick
[17:19] <amb_> @plazia did the mount work properly manual
[17:19] <plazia> amb_, yes
[17:19] <maco> ghufran: does your laptop have numbers printed on some of the letter keys in a different colour? holding down Fn and using those should work like the numpad would. i just tried it
[17:19] <plazia> with sudo
[17:20] <amb_> So you havn't got the rights to mount that drive direct
[17:20] <twig11> Pelo: you PM'd twick, not me.
[17:20] <ghufran> maco: no .. it doesnt ..
[17:20] <plazia> ah or perhaps nautilus doesn't
[17:20] <Pelo> twig11, sorry
[17:20] <Pelo> !install > twig11
[17:20] <maco> ghufran: then i dont know how to get a numpad except to get a usb one
[17:20] <amb_> sorry was for plazia
[17:20] <plazia> amb_, but what I'm saying is in GNOME. when you try this in nautilus it launches some sorta authentication window permitting you to enter your password and then mounts the drive
[17:21] <plazia> like some sort privilege escalation but only temporarily
[17:21] <plazia> kinda like gksudo or something
[17:21] <twig11> !install > twig11
[17:21] <amb_> yes but that means that somewhere ther is a disciption which mounting is allowed.
[17:21] <plazia> but in icewm it doesn't give any window. just an error message
[17:21] <Pelo> plazia, sudo su  but it needs to be done from the terminal
[17:21] <amb_> Whats the Error Message about
[17:22] <plazia> "Unable to mount 957 GB Filesystem" \n "Authentication is required
[17:22] <plazia> "

[17:38] <new2ubutnu> AMB - what setting are you asking about -
[17:38] <Pelo> twig11, make sure hte partiton on the usb flash can boot,  use gparted to set the boot flag
[17:38] <new2ubutnu> it's automatic ip
[17:38] <pererik87> Anyone have another terminal than the standard one to suggest. Im a intermediate and my terminal started refusing to let me edit the text midway in this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8262965&postcount=541.

[17:39] <DrPraetor2> @blackheim and all: sry.   Is there a version of "apt-get upgrade" that will only upgrade the security-related components.
[17:39] <DrPraetor2> ?
[17:39] <Pici> pererik87: What do you mean by it refuses to let you edit text?
[17:39] <new2ubutnu> inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>
[17:39] <blakkheim> DrPraetor2: yes it's called debian
[17:39] <new2ubutnu> Bcast:<IP_ADDRESS>
[17:39] <unop> !coc | blakkheim,
[17:40] <amb_> @new2ubuntunu is there anything about inet Adress :
[17:40] <new2ubutnu> Mask:<IP_ADDRESS>
[17:40] <Pelo> DrPraetor2, chck the man page for apt-get there is probably an option flag you can use,  something liek apt-get upgrade -s or something similar
[17:40] <amb_> @ new2ubuntunu try route
[17:40] <deadmau5> hey guys, a very quick question...i have an portable 2.0 hard drive 500GB and before i format it, i need to know if i will be able to copy files from it if it it in NTFS format !
[17:40] <amb_> because IP seams correct
[17:40] <pererik87> Pici: if i typed wrong i was not allowed to wipe it out then i hit enter just to get a new line but it came with text already that i could not wipe out
[17:40] <Slart> deadmau5: ubuntu supports reading and writing to ntfs drives
[17:40] <new2ubutnu> inet6 addr: fe80:2e0:4cff:fe08:9ab3/64
[17:41] <nastas> deadmau5: yes you will
[17:41] <new2ubutnu> route - let me find that
[17:41] <deadmau5> Slart : ok thanks for answer...
[17:41] <Slart> deadmau5: there's no checkdisk for ntfs in ubuntu though.. you still need windows for that
[17:41] <amb_> new2ubuntunu do you use inet6? think not.
[17:41] <twig11> Pelo: I'm creating a new partition table with Gparted. Should I select EXT3 filesystem for the partition, and how do I set the boot flag?
[17:41] <new2ubutnu> do you mean route in terminal
[17:41] <new2ubutnu> there's no route line fro ifconfig
[17:41] <amb_> yes like ifconfig
[17:41] <new2ubutnu> i don't use int6

[17:41] <new2ubutnu> o.k. entering route in terminal
[17:41] <Pici> ReiMoN: Please don't advertise  here
[17:42] <new2ubutnu> o.k. entered route -
[17:42] <amb_> @new2ubuntunu yes only the command route
[17:42] <benpro> hi al
[17:42] <Pelo> twick, if your usb drive can handle ext3 sure, but they are usualy fat32 as far as I know,  for setting the flag, once your partion is made just right click and it,s somewher in the context menu,  or it might also be available from the format dialog
[17:42] <benpro> hi all*
[17:42] <DrPraetor2> -s is simulate.  Only mention of security in the man page is for the frontend to check that packages are digitally signed :(
[17:42] <Pici> pererik87: bash is the standard shell, you shouldn't need to use anything else. Perhaps you can paste on http://ubuntu.pastebin.com  what you terminal looks like currently and maybe I know what the issue is.
[17:42] <nastas> benpro: hi
[17:42] <new2ubutnu> benpro: hi
[17:43] <amb_> benpro: hi
[17:43] <new2ubutnu> o.k. - so I entered "route"
[17:44] <amb_> @new2ubuntunu whats about your routes

[17:44] <amb_> anybody : how to boot a usb-stick with grub2 - I know how to boot with grub
[17:44] <twig11> Pelo: I can't believe I just did something this stupid. I created a new partition table on dev/sda by accident instead of on my thumb drive. I haven't written any new partitions to it yet. Is there any way to recover?
[17:44] <new2ubutnu> there's destination, gateway, genmask, flags, metric, ref, use, and Iface
[17:44] <Pelo> twick, have you actually applied ?
[17:45] <pererik87> pici: darn those new wacoms
[17:45] <amb_> what is your default gateway?
[17:45] <twig11> Pelo: I applied the new partition map, yes.
[17:45] <Pici> pererik87: The only think I can think of is that you possibly had a mismatched quote or similar character and it was waiting for you to enter the closing character.
[17:45] <new2ubutnu> three destinations: <IP_ADDRESS>, link-local, and default
[17:45] <Pelo> twig11, have you actulay hit the apply button ,
[17:45] <pozican> I'm just curious - how many of you linux users alias c:?
[17:45] <amb_> @new2ubuntunu what is default
[17:45] <new2ubutnu> default gateway is <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:45] <amb_> seams ok.
[17:46] <maco> pozican: i never did that
[17:46] <new2ubutnu> yeah - i know - the wifi is selected in Network
[17:46] <amb_> try nslookup an Ipadress you know
[17:46] <Pici> !tab | new2ubutnu amb_
[17:46] <Pelo> twig11, that's a bit out of my leag , this is the computer you are working on right now ? and sda is your  / hdd ? , ,I think you should just close gparted
[17:46] <Pici> !who
[17:46] <new2ubutnu> i don't understand
[17:46] <new2ubutnu> tried rebooting, resetting the wireless router, etc
[17:46] <Pelo> twig11, but quite honestly this is out of my league
[17:46] <pozican> maco: I bet some did
[17:47] <twig11> Pelo: I don't see an apply button on the current window. I don't remember if I clicked apply. But it said it would erase all data, and it now says 0 operations pending.
[17:47] <maco> pozican: i wouldnt even know how to do it
[17:47] <maco> pozican: ive heard of if you want to be able to access your windows drives from ubuntu, setting them to mount at /media/c or /media/d but thats it
[17:47] <Losha> twig11: some people report success using testdisk to recover partitions. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk. Disclaimer:  I've never used it myself....
[17:47] <amb_> new2ubutnu, try nslookup with an IPadress you know well. expl. nslookup www.google.com
[17:47] <pererik87> Pici: im certain it was a bug because i got a half word on one side and a half directory on the other side of the insertion point. the text after insertion pont dissapeared when i started to type. wierd behavior. But i figure ill just turn the wacom in and order a older version
[17:47] <Pelo> twig11, very important, is that sda hdd the harddrive you are curently using to run your os ?
[17:47]  * pozican facepalms
[17:47] <new2ubutnu> AMB - in terminal
[17:47] <twig11> Pelo: I think so.
[17:48] <amb_> new2ubutnu, yes
[17:48] <new2ubutnu> o.k.  doing that now
[17:48] <Pici> pererik87: Perhaps you accidentally pressed the insert key on your keyboard and that was overwriting the text as you typed
[17:48] <scott_ino2> Does anyone know if mediabuntu pulled 64 bit skype from their repo? It doesn't seem to be there
[17:48] <twig11> Pelo: I do have a backup. But I sure don't feel like recovering from it.
[17:48] <maco> scott_ino2: theyre not permitted to distribute it, afaik
[17:48] <pererik87> !pici nope
[17:48] <amb_> anybody : how to boot a usb-stick with grub2 - I know how to boot with grub
[17:48] <maco> scott_ino2: everything else in medibuntu is free software with patent issues. skype isnt free software at all.
[17:48] <new2ubutnu> connection timed out; no servers could be reached
[17:49] <scott_ino2> maco, I mean they used to up until a month ago
[17:49] <scott_ino2> at least
[17:49] <maco> scott_ino2: er, free with a capital F
[17:49] <Pelo> twig11, it usualy is , it's not possible to do any gparted operations on a mounted file system,  so you probably didn,T break the computer,  but if it,s another hdd you probably screwed it up, no idea how to recover from that
[17:49] <Pici> pererik87: I'm not sure then, sorry.
[17:49] <scott_ino2> maco, im just trying to confirm that they pulled it and it's not something else going on
[17:49] <amb_> new2ubutnu, try ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:49] <twig11> Pelo: Well I'm certain it's the one I'm running from now, so I hope you're right.
[17:49] <maco> scott_ino2: i assume thats it. probably best to ask them though, rather than random folks :P
[17:50] <new2ubutnu> destination host unreachable
[17:50] <scott_ino2> maco, of course, just figured someone in here would know for certain
[17:50] <new2ubutnu> on <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:50] <twig11> Pelo: I'll try again with the USB drive. :-)
[17:50] <Pelo> twick, close down gparted,  and try to view files elswhere on that hdd using nautilus
[17:50] <pererik87> pici: oh god what a mess. well thanks for trying :)
[17:50] <kostkon> scott_ino2, they removed skype from medibuntu. the reason is that they didn't want to confuse the users since skype provide their own debs.
[17:50] <new2ubutnu> on <IP_ADDRESS> it says 56(84) bytes of data
[17:50] <twig11> Pelo: sure.
[17:50] <lonpc18> hi pici
[17:50] <lonpc18> your main.cf is standard
[17:51] <Pelo> twig11, there is a nice app in the system menu,  disk utilities,  that should let you select the usb stick and refformat it and set the flag,   I didn'T think about it because it is recent
[17:51] <twig11> Pelo: Looks like everything is there.
[17:51] <Pelo> twig11, phew

[17:53] <sv> slart:yes there is.But i wanted to confirm whether it is armv5 or armv7 ?
[17:53] <wng-> mounts*
[17:53] <blakkheim> wng-: why would you move /var
[17:53] <amb_> what about Link Quality Signal level
[17:53] <wng-> blakkheim: because I wanted it on a different partition
[17:53] <new2ubutnu> retry:on Fragment thr:off  link quality86/100
[17:54] <Slart> sv: ah.. I just googled a bit.. there is some info here http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/arm  not sure if it's of any use though.. it doesn't specifically mention what version
[17:54] <blakkheim> wng-: did you apply changes to fstab?
[17:54] <new2ubutnu> the laptop's link quality is 79/100
[17:54] <Slart> sv: have you tried asking in #ubuntu-arm ?
[17:55] <new2ubutnu> everything after link quality and levels is 0
[17:55] <faheem_> hello, im using xubutu my screen resolution i think is way to high, im currently only seeing 1/4 of the screen can anyone help me?
[17:56] <lonpc18> pici you showed me your /etc/postfix/main.cf
[17:56] <lonpc18> but its just standard
[17:56] <amb_> new2ubutnu, what was level?
[17:56] <new2ubutnu> could tehre be somthing wrong in network settings?  as far as I can tell everything is working correct - maybe the issue is in settings OR firefox?
[17:56] <powertool08> What is casper-rw? I know its used with persistent usb installs.
[17:56] <new2ubutnu> signal level is 45 noise is 101
[17:57] <blakkheim> sv: do you insist on using ubuntu? there are arm ports of debian and others that you could possibly use if ubuntu doesn't support armv7
[17:57] <KarmaJones> Why is my Ubuntu unable to mount any usb external drive when not in root?
[17:57] <new2ubutnu> KarmaJones, I have the same problem - but also with INTERNAL PARTITIONS
[17:58] <amb_> new2ubutnu, it seams correct, because Ive got more worse values. Do you use a DHCP or fixed IPs
[17:58] <thesabry> good evening all
[17:58] <new2ubutnu> DHCP
[17:58] <blakkheim> sv: http://armin762.wordpress.com/2009/11/25/armv7/ might be worth a read
[17:58] <new2ubutnu> howdy thesabry
[17:58] <amb_> thesabry, hi
[17:59] <KarmaJones> new2ubuntu: I don't know about INTERNAL PARTITIONS, I do have ICE Authority and Nautilus issues
[17:59] <chilipepper> y
[17:59] <new2ubutnu> localhost IP is <IP_ADDRESS>, comp IP is <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:59] <KarmaJones> Why is my Ubuntu unable to mount any usb external drive when not in root?
[17:59] <lonpc18> i think i edit /etc/postfix/transport
[17:59] <amb_> new2ubutnu, so the connection must have worked correct with right key - you wouldnt get any IP with wrong ones.
[17:59] <lonpc18> i want to send email from the ubntu command line
[17:59] <lonpc18> via an set stmp server
[18:00] <lonpc18> is the file i need to edit /etc/postfix/transport?
[18:00] <new2ubutnu> it did work yesterday - doesn't now..
[18:00] <pepperspray> what application can i use to convert an mp4 file to vob?
[18:00] <new2ubutnu> should i try connecting  with static IP instead?
[18:00] <Pelo> pepperspray, avidemux would probably work
[18:00] <amb_> do once /etc/init.d/network restart
[18:01] <frische> lonpc18: did you try nail?
[18:01] <new2ubutnu> o.k. doing that
[18:01] <lonpc18> nail?
[18:01] <llutz> lonpc18: sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix, configure internet-site using smarthost, give your smarthost there
[18:01] <amb_> new2ubutnu,  do once /etc/init.d/network restart
[18:01] <lonpc18> whats nail
[18:01] <pepperspray> Pelo, thank yo u
[18:01] <lonpc18> has to be the command line
[18:01] <frische> i once had a small python script that could do that as well
[18:01] <lonpc18> im on a server install
[18:01] <frische> nail = mailx
[18:01] <frische> heirloom mailx
[18:01] <amb_> new2ubutnu, could be that you nead sudo
[18:01] <thesabry> I have a dual boot mac os x / ubuntu . I have a data partition that I want to  to access from both OS. In first place I do a HFS+ partition but I realized that VLC cannot read data from this kind of format so I am thinking of formating that partition in a new format. Do you know which format will be my best choice ?? (Ext is not natively supported by os x even though it is Unix based !!). Does FAT32 my only choice ?
[18:01] <new2ubutnu> AMB - got the response "bash: /ect/init.d/network restart"
[18:02] <lonpc18> no i havent tried nail or mailx
[18:02] <lonpc18> im trying to run this command sendmail -bv<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[18:02] <new2ubutnu> type sudo before the /ect?
[18:02] <blakkheim> thesabry: ntfs-3g has a mac port, you could try ntfs
[18:02] <powertool08> new2ubutnu: It should be /etc not /ect
[18:03] <Aled> is there any software on Ubuntu to capture from my webcam?
[18:03] <frische> i don' t use sendmail
[18:03] <new2ubutnu> hey the sabry - someone said the other day that he had to attach his drive to a windows pc - and turn the drive OFF cause it was locked from windows and so Ubuntu couldn't do anything with it
[18:03] <amb_> new2ubutnu, should be etc
[18:03] <new2ubutnu> ahh o.k.
[18:03] <frische> really, have a look at mailx
[18:03] <new2ubutnu> ty amb
[18:03] <new2ubutnu> brb
[18:04] <Pelo> thesabry, I think you need to ask in a mac channel to see what OSX will support,  anything listed in gparted is supported by linux,  so youjust need to find a match,  btw fat32 does not support files large files so you might want to take that in consideration
[18:04] <new2ubutnu> AMB - gave the same response no such file or directory
[18:04] <unimatrix9> any one knows how to know what alsa uses for audio input , i think the card is alsa:adevice=hw.0
[18:04] <amb_> what type of system you are using
[18:04] <ende> I'm not familiar with Disk Utility in ubuntu (I think this is Gnome?? hard to tell.. its the netbook remix)…..
[18:04] <unimatrix9> what would be the audio input device?
[18:04] <KarmaJones> Why is my Ubuntu unable to mount any usb external drive when not in root?
[18:04] <ende> is this probably not hte right app for partition management ?
[18:04] <amb_> new2ubutnu, what type of system you are using
[18:05] <CountDown> Aled: There are plenty of webcam capture utilities.  For example, 'webcam'.
[18:05] <Slart> new2ubutnu: that can happen if the drive has some kind of error.. in windows you would just run a checkdisk on it.. there is a small program called ntfsfix that can reset this error (not fix it) from ubuntu
[18:05] <Aled> I just installed the first one on the Package Manager
[18:05] <new2ubutnu> ubuntu 8.04.01 hardy heron
[18:05] <new2ubutnu> ty SLART
[18:06] <mezquitale> ende, what are you trying to do? have you given gparted a try? sudo gparted
[18:06] <Pelo> Aled, I beleive "cheese" is the curent favorite
[18:06] <ende> mezquitale
[18:06] <Slart> new2ubutnu: so the drive isn't really locked.. it needs some love that ubuntu can't supply (there is no checkdisk for ntfs for linux).. so it just won't touch it in case something important might be broken
[18:06] <Aled> "sudo apt-get install cheese"?
[18:06] <ende> oops
[18:06] <Pelo> Aled, yep
[18:06] <maco> Aled: yep
[18:06] <Aled> right

[18:06]  * Pelo can'T help a smile
[18:07] <ende> hmm
[18:07] <amb_> new2ubutnu, there it should work /etc/init.d/network restart maybe sudo /etc/init.d/network restart

[18:11] <k4rt33k> Hey...I have been trying to code something for open source projects since sometime. But the problem is the big projects are too complex and confusing.Any suggestions?
[18:12] <KarmaJones> scott_ino2: ok it's in pastbin under my nick
[18:12] <crc32> Is there a way to get eclipse for ubunto 9.10 to install with Sun Javas SDL rather then gcj?
[18:12] <amb_> by @al
[18:12] <scott_ino2> can you send a direct link
[18:12] <nibbler> ubuntu: can that not be done with the usb startup disk creator (system->administration)?
[18:12] <davertron> hey guys, i'm running ubuntu 9.10, and i want to drop out of X to a shell (single user mode maybe?) how can i do this from my desktop?
[18:13] <ubuntu> nibbler, what would the best way to create an installation where programs could be added/removed and files stored permanently?
[18:13] <ende> davertron: would opening a terminal window be good enough?
[18:13] <KarmaJones> pelo: yes they work, I think it's a permission issue. Ice also have problems with ICE authority and Nautilus...
[18:13] <powertool08> davertron: ctrl+alt+f1 ctrl+alt+f7 to get back
[18:13] <ende> or that
[18:13] <davertron> ende: nah, i need to run "sudo X -configure"
[18:13] <scott_ino2> KarmaJones, can you send/post a direct link to the actual pastbin
[18:14] <KarmaJones> scott_ino2:  http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m20ed5ddd
[18:14] <powertool08> davertron: or ctrl+alt+f1, followed by sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop to kill X.
[18:14] <nibbler> ubuntu: for the files there is a slider in that program. about programs i dont know. basically you can install ubuntu to any media, just use a usb stick instead of a harddisk, or follow http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Hard-Disk-Upgrade.html to transfer an existing installation
[18:14] <new2ubutnu> AMB - if you're there I figured it out
[18:14] <davertron> powertoole08: :)
[18:14] <new2ubutnu> in Hardy Heron - the Network folder is called networking
[18:15] <ende> AH, mezquitale the drive was just moutned is all ;)
[18:15] <ende> thanks for the help
[18:16] <scott_ino2> KarmaJones, in terminal do: sudo chmod 777 /dev/sdb1
[18:16] <scott_ino2> should set the permissions on the drive
[18:16] <scott_ino2> KarmaJones, it's not one of those odd external drives that have the software that run on it is it?
[18:17] <davertron> powertoole08: thanks
[18:17] <powertool08> davertron: np
[18:17] <scott_ino2> KarmaJones, after you set the permissions you can try mounting it again, mount /dev/sdb1 /media*or someother location
[18:17] <mezquitale> ende, right you have to unmount the drive, i would make that xp partition smaller, you would only need about 20~40 gigs for xp, then create some space for remix, about 10~15 gigs should be enough, if you have a sata HD use a swap partition if you have an SSD hard drive dont use swap
[18:17] <KarmaJones> scott_ino2:  this happens with all my external hard drives, old and new
[18:17] <ende> mezquitale, 20-40??  ha, M$ is lucky if it gets 16 ;)
[18:18] <scott_ino2> KarmaJones, hmm odd, did you chmod the drive?
[18:18] <KarmaJones> scott_ino2:  not yet
[18:18] <scott_ino2> KarmaJones, fdisk sees it, so it's obviously there and recognized, just wont mount. seems as though if you set permissions on it it would work
[18:18] <ende> so I have to create a swap partition manually?
[18:18] <KarmaJones> scott_ino2:  not yet
[18:18] <Sport> I just installed and setup Ubuntu server on a small server machine I built.  Since it lacks GUI, and my mobo has an HDMI port, is there a way I can play media to my TV?
[18:18] <ende> remix won't do that for me during install out of the available freespace?  or do I just need to partition off the space for it (I think ~ size of memory ?)
[18:18] <KarmaJones> scott_ino2:  I did sudo chmod 777 /dev/sdb1 and nothing happened
[18:19] <mezquitale> ende, you could let the installation do it for you, i boot up to netbook remix, partition the drive, reboot then install
[18:19] <scott_ino2> KarmaJones, ok so try mounting it again
[18:19] <KarmaJones> scott_ino2:  I did it doesn't mount
[18:19] <ende> mezquitale, if I partition off, say, 2gb for the swap, then during the Remix install I can designate as the location for the swap?
[18:20] <scott_ino2> KarmaJones, do you have data you need on this? or can you copy it over to somewhere else first?
[18:20] <KarmaJones> scott_ino2:  I tried changing the permission logged in as root earlier and it wouldn't let me
[18:21] <scott_ino2> KarmaJones, certain flash drives and external hard drives have software that run on them, so I'm wondering of this is the case, however you say this does it with all of yoru drives.
[18:21] <KarmaJones> scott_ino2:  yeah I can open it with root, it's just I'm trying to fix this
[18:21] <scott_ino2> KarmaJones, you're saying root can mount the drives?
[18:21] <mezquitale> ende, yes, you can choose to parttion the drive manually, all you have to do is specify "/" and any other optional partitions that you have, remix should be able to detect your swap partition
[18:21] <KarmaJones> scott_ino2:  yeah I can open it with root
[18:22] <scott_ino2> KarmaJones, go to System/Administration/Users and Groups
[18:22] <KarmaJones> scott_ino2:  ok
[18:22] <Hautop> Hello! I need help. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 64bit with a LiveCD. Then tried to boot into ubuntu, but received the error "error: biosdisk write error". Reinstalled twice, still same error.

[18:22] <davertron> has anyone run into resolution issues when using a dvi -> dvi + vga splitter?
[18:23] <scott_ino2> KarmaJones, click on the user you're trying to use to mount the drive and select Properties
[18:23] <KarmaJones> scott_ino2:  ok done
[18:23] <scott_ino2> KarmaJones, then go to User Priveleges and make sure "Access external storage devices automatically" is checked
[18:23] <davertron> when I plug a VGA monitor into my computer using a dvi -> dvi + vga connection, my vga monitor will only display at 800x600 or 640x480; how do i get it to display at my monitor's native resolution?

[18:24] <SandGorgon_> can i change the mysql.sock in ubuntu to point to a different location. I tried changing it in /etc/mysql/my.cnf .. but it doesnt seemt o change
[18:24] <KarmaJones> scott_ino2:  I have problems with ICE authority and Nautilus. I think this problem mounting drives is a system of that
[18:24] <KarmaJones> scott_ino2:  I have problems with ICE authority and Nautilus. I think this problem mounting drives is a *symptom of that
[18:25] <scott_ino2> KarmaJones, that's the next thing i was going to ask, was if you're using any additional security/policies on your machine
[18:25] <cannonball> My gnome toolbar (not the menu bar, the one that shows running apps) has a weird issue, wondering if anybody has seen this before.  If I move my mouse over an app shown in the toolbar and click on it, it does not recognize the clicks (will not bring the window forward).  If I hover the mouse over the app in the toolbar so that the popup appears which shows the full text, it then lets me click on it.
[18:26] <cannonball> I don't even know what to make of that.
[18:26] <cannonball> Possible a Gnome restart would fix it, but looking to see if anybody else has come across this.
[18:26] <anf> there is add-apt-repository (without any manpage...) - how can i remove a certain ppa?
[18:26] <undecim> cannonball: Try pressing alt+f2 and typing "killall gnome-panel"
[18:26] <Hautop> Hi again. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 64bit with a LiveCD. Then I tried to boot into ubuntu, but received the error "error: biosdisk write error". Reinstalled twice, still same error. Im not able to start ubuntu, but the LiveSession worked well. Does anybody know this error or how I can fix it? thx in advance
[18:26] <ChogyDan> anf: just go to your software sources
[18:27] <KarmaJones> scott_ino2:  I 'm not. It's just that I have to login everytime by dropping to root shell in recovery mode because of issues with ICE Authority and Nautilus on logging
[18:27] <undecim> Hautop: How old is your computer?
[18:27] <aeon-ltd> Hautop: sounds like a HDD problem not ubuntu
[18:27] <Hautop> Quite new.
[18:27] <Hautop> some months. New hardware
[18:27] <scott_ino2> KarmaJones, then I suspect it has somethign to do with that, as I've never encontered a normal instance have these types of issues
[18:27] <Jordan_U> Hautop: Are you sure it wasn't biosdisk read error?
[18:27] <scott_ino2> sorry i couldn't be of more help
[18:28] <aminos> uit
[18:28] <undecim> Hautop: then as aeon-ltd said, it's probably a prblem with your Hard Drive
[18:28] <cannonball> undecim: it restarted as expected, but still exhibits the behavior.  I'll restart Gnome today before I head home this afternoon and see if it makes any difference.
[18:28] <KarmaJones> scott_ino2:  all right, well thanks for your help, I'll focus my energies on that instead
[18:28] <xteejx> hey guys, anyone know about ldap?
[18:28] <undecim> Hautop: Though since you were able to install it, try one thing before you go replacing your hard drive...

[18:28] <Hautop> invalid environment block"

[18:29] <borgicheb> My nVidia MCP73 sound card has mysteriously stopped working in ubuntu 9.10.  Anyone have any ideas?
[18:29] <undecim> Jordan_U: Seperate boot partiton?
[18:29] <Jordan_U> Hautop: Are you booted into a LiveCD right now?
[18:30] <Hautop> No, but i can take notes
[18:30] <ChogyDan> Hautop: have you tried disabling your floppy disk?
[18:30] <Hautop> No
[18:30] <Jordan_U> undecim: No, just a bug in grub-editenv that left a zero byte env file if it crashed at the wrong time, it's been fixed in a update
[18:30] <undecim> Jordan_U: Ahh...
[18:31] <Talirk81> I upgrade from hardy to karmic, but now  i cant edit   /etc/fstab even in su - or sudo.  Also as root i can mv  /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.old  so i can  move a new copy in place. Anyone have any ideas, even in knoppix i have this same issue after running a  fsck
[18:31] <Louiie> Hey, do any of you know where I can buy a new laptop with out an OS already on it?
[18:31] <Talirk81> Louiie: pricewatch.com maybe?
[18:32] <Pici> Louiie: #ubuntu-offtopic or ##hardware would be a more appropriate place to ask
[18:32] <Jordan_U> Hautop: Ok, boot a liveCD and mount your Ubuntu partition to /mnt and run "sudo grub-editenv /mnt/boot/grub/grubenv create" then you should be able to boot
[18:32] <undecim> Louiie: Some vendors, when you order online allow that option. You could also buy a system76 computer which comes installed with Ubuntu
[18:32] <obiwan__> hi, please could anybody tell me what XUL is? i read that it's a mozilla xml-based lang, to build some applications, etc. But i don't get it, any example? is it like javascript? or like php? what can i compare it to?
[18:32] <obiwan__> i already tried xul channel but ain't exist :(/
[18:32] <Louiie> undecim do you know how much roughly that is?
[18:32] <krelboyne> Louille: dell sells laptops with ubuntu preinstalled
[18:32] <Hautop> Jordan_U: Ok, sounds easy. Thank you.
[18:33] <Louiie> krelboyne: I've never seen that, you sure?   Is PHP a different user/group than apache on ubuntu?

[18:41] <Zteam> Hi
[18:42] <Zteam> Is there any way to use the nvidia-driver without how reinstall it every time i get a new kernel?
[18:42] <jrib> Zteam: sure.  Use the nvidia driver from the repositories...
[18:42] <milon> any xubuntu expert?
[18:42] <jrib> !nvidia | Zteam
[18:43] <theodore> hello there
[18:43] <ircuser> ChogyDan: Shall it also limit the number of Kernels that will be kept in future? I want the kernel.x.1 removed automatically when kernel.x.3 is downloaded and installed.
[18:43] <theodore> how can I read a docx file in ubuntu?
[18:43] <Zteam> jrib: I already do, but unfourtnetly there is a bug in karmic which prevent it from rebuilding the driver
[18:44] <ChogyDan> ircuser: AFAIK, no
[18:44] <jrib> Zteam: the driver isn't rebuilt afaik.  When you install a new kernel it comes with a new nvidia package
[18:44] <aeon-ltd> milon: what do you need?
[18:45] <Zteam> jrib: Well, anyway I have to reinstall the driver for every new kernel
[18:45] <petsounds> theodore, with openoffice writer

[18:45] <Azeotrope> I am getting this error when buring a DVD-R with brasero http://pastebin.org/75001.  It damaged 2 disc so far
[18:45] <jrib> Zteam: how do you reinstall the driver?
[18:46] <jrib> Zteam: I haven't used nvidia on karmic, do you have a bug # for what you mentioned before?
[18:46] <theodore> it says filter selection...
[18:46] <theodore> after...?which filter?
[18:46] <trism> Zteam: how did you install the nvidia drivers? because DKMS rebuilds them just fine for me every kernel update, and I'm on karmic (I used System/Administration/Hardware Drivers)
[18:46] <Zteam> jrib: I boot the older kernel remove the driver in (propriarety drivers) boots the new kernel and install it (with ubuntus own driver manager)

[18:50] <jrib> Zteam: make sure the headers get installed for the new kernel first before upgrading the nvidia package
[18:50] <ChogyDan> shawn_: I think so, but I don't think it is what you want.  An iso doesn't support all the info that ccd does
[18:50] <pookey> hi all - i've a fresh install of ubuntu, and using byobu/screen, when I connect to it from my mac, lots of text is flashing.  typing 'reset' in a terminal doesnt help.  I've googled and can't find anything due too too much noise from the term 'flash' perhaps... any ideas?

[18:53] <adityag> any solution for lower resolution for VIA chipset ?? i use 8.10 and get resolution of 640x400 max, in 7.10 i get 1024x800. any help will be appreciated
[18:53] <jrib> Zteam: and actually I think headers only get pulled in if you have the right meta package for them
[18:53] <jrib> Zteam: I'm just guessing a cause

[18:53] <jrib> !away > ibuclaw
[18:53] <Zteam> jrib: Hmm, by some reason the header for my current kernel isn't installed at all
[18:54] <Zteam> jrib: Strange, shouldn't it depend on the kernel?
[18:54] <ende> woot! I am the drive partitioning mac-daddy
[18:54] <jrib> Zteam: why?
[18:55] <Zteam> jrib: because the system needs them in order to rebuild dkms right?
[18:55] <ende> Anyone recommend a sufficient but minimalist partition size for Ubuntu netbook remix?
[18:55] <jrib> Zteam: well not everyone uses or needs dkms
[18:56] <Zteam> jrib: maybe it should be dependecy of dkms or the driver?
[18:56] <loddy> (Bump) I had installed 9.10 after Vista(preinstalled). All worked fine. But yesterday, it said, grub-resue mode. I tried fixing up with 9.04 Live CD, but now it only drops grub menu on startup
[18:57] <Zteam> So I install the header should the driver be rebuilded right then?
[18:57] <jrib> Zteam: I don't know.  Like I said, I'm just giving you something to try
[18:57] <trism> Zteam: according to apt-cache, the header is a dependency of nvidia kernel source, so it should be installed
[18:57] <sam__> hello can some one tell me how do i terminate vnc server running on my ubuntu please i want to do it via terminal
[18:57] <ibuclaw> Zteam, last time I checked - dkms depends on linux-headers | linux-headers-generic
[18:58] <ibuclaw> this invokes behaviours
[18:58] <ibuclaw> meaning that certain packages can fill the dependency requirements of dkms - but may not necessarily be the packages you *really* need.
[18:59] <borgicheb> So, ALSA seems to load ok and lspci detects the sound card.  Does anyone have a test file I could use with aplay ?
[18:59] <ende> 10 gigs be sufficient?
[18:59] <Zteam> jrib: Well, I tried to upgrade the nvidia driver from this repository: http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu
[18:59] <Zteam> in order to get a new version, but that didn't work at all
[18:59] <ibuclaw> ende, for / ? yes.

[19:11] <VCoolio> Dextronaught: everything except /home/username is root permissions only; you can change that of course, but not recommended; what do you want to move?
[19:11] <Myrtti> newbie123abc: are you running Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[19:11] <l1nUx1z3r> sam__, google is your friend, try it

[19:12] <VCoolio> Dextronaught: use "gksudo gedit" in the alt+f2 window
[19:12] <l1nUx1z3r> sam__, try googling for the command for the server
[19:12] <Myrtti> newbie123abc: you could try asking in #kubuntu, I suspect they'll offer a similar solution to grandr if possible
[19:12] <Dextronaught> ok, ty VCoolio.
[19:12] <lcb> what's the name of partition manager ubuntu uses while installing?
[19:12] <Hydrosis> gparted
[19:12] <VCoolio> Dextronaught: also "gksudo nautilus" if you must; but be aware it's easy to mess up stuff

[19:14] <Myrtti> newbie123abc: I'm not familiar with setting the screen that way, sorry
[19:14] <Hydrosis> 1cb, you're essentially speaking chinese to me.  I have no idea what you mean.
[19:15] <blakkheim> !mini > Hydrosis
[19:16] <sam__> how can i remove a user from my root ubuntu please
[19:16] <ende> how large of a partition should I leave for swap?
[19:16] <ende> X1 memory of X 2 ?
[19:16] <ende> I forget
[19:16] <lcb> Hydrosis, well, i'll try to translate. when you install from a minimal cd image you'll have a partition editor on it. that's the one i wiould like to know the name/commAND
[19:16] <Hydrosis> blakkheim: That is useless for me.  Why message me that message?  I dont want to reinstall anything, I want to know why my hibernation doesnt work.  Or rather, why it hibernates and doesnt wake up when its set to NOT hibernate
[19:16] <Bo_Bo> swap 2 times ram
[19:16] <powertool08> ende: used to be 2xram, but 1gb is plenty for most people.
[19:17] <Bo_Bo> or less than 2 gb imho
[19:17] <ende> do I need to use a specific format for the swap space?
[19:17] <Bo_Bo> ende, you can't use only swap array
[19:17] <bullgard> I downloaded the DEB program package linux-source-2.6.31. The main file of it is now /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.31.tar.bz2. What is the standard ubuntu directory to expand this archive to?
[19:18] <Bo_Bo> ende, run the setup, you'll see
[19:18] <burzki> ende, ditto Bo_Bo 2x ram, but not more than 2gb
[19:18] <ende> so should I include that 2gb in the partition Im creating?
[19:18] <ende> or should I create a separate partition for it?
[19:18] <ende> I want to leave as much space as possible for another OS
[19:18] <powertool08> ende: I have a swap partition
[19:19] <jurisz> how to limit process to use only one cpu core?
[19:19] <Bo_Bo> ende, you'll make the partition while installing, so leave room for it
[19:19] <Myrtti> erict: swap is a separate partition in linux
[19:19] <Myrtti> meh
[19:19] <Myrtti> ende: even
[19:19] <burzki> ende, swap will be its own partition, at the filesystem type, select swap
[19:19] <ende> oky doky thanks
[19:19] <MegaHerz> Hi all
[19:19] <ende> will 9gb be enough for Ubuntu Netbook Remix?
[19:19] <burzki> ende, it can be much smaller if you want
[19:19] <Hydrosis> ende: yes
[19:19] <Bo_Bo> ende, yes
[19:20] <lcb> Hydrosis, looks like that was still too much chinese to you :p
[19:20] <ende> thanks guys, really appreciate it
[19:20] <Hydrosis> 1cb: no, it was off topic and not what we were initially talking about.  Confusing, to say the least.
[19:20] <MegaHerz> I mount old Debian HDD, with ext2 filesystem on Ubuntu 9. Now all russian files are shown like "??????????". I tried to start mc with different locale (LC_ALL=ru_RU.KOI8-R mc) but this doesn't help.
[19:20] <MegaHerz> Any ideas?
[19:20] <erict> Hey Myrtti, be a little more careful throwing my name around dude.
[19:20] <jMyles> How do I generate an apache SSL certificate in karmic?
[19:21] <erict> (I am kidding) ;)
[19:21] <burzki> hey.  after the last kernel update a day ago, my '3' key causes a restart when used in an open program .. any ideas?
[19:21] <Hydrosis> MegaHerz, look in the package manager for language packs.
[19:21] <Bo_Bo> MegaHerz, try to add ru locales
[19:21] <Myrtti> erict: be a little more careful making assumptions about my gender ;-) (likewise kidding)
[19:21] <lcb> anyone knows the program used to partition the disks when we install ubuntu?
[19:21] <Bo_Bo> lcb, parted?
[19:22] <MegaHerz> Bo_Bo: I added: locale-gen ru_RU.KOI-R, which was successfuly  generate.
[19:22] <MegaHerz> d
[19:22] <Hydrosis> 1cb: gparted, I already told you that
[19:22] <MegaHerz> Bo_Bo: and I know it was ru_RU.KOI8-R
[19:22] <MegaHerz> Bo_Bo: this is my old HDD
[19:22] <powertool08> lcb: Does it matter? As long as it gets the job done right?
[19:22] <Hydrosis> GParted is the Gnome Partition Editor application.
[19:22] <erict> Myrtti, I call everyone dude, dude. :)
[19:22] <Newky> Hydrosis: i think its not gparted in the installer as far as i no its a different partitioner
[19:22] <lcb> bo_bo, probably, although i think parted is not graphical
[19:23] <MegaHerz> Hydrosis: should I do somethings else except adding locale with locale-gen?
[19:23] <blakkheim> it's probably parted or fdisk
[19:23] <Hydrosis> Newky: looks like gparted to me.  I could be wrong, but the GUI leads me to believe its gparted.
[19:23] <Bo_Bo> lcb, i think parted is used below the gui of the installer, check docs, wiki, etc
[19:23] <Newky> Hydrosis: i agree it does look lik gparted bu think i remember readin somewhere it was something else, i could also b worng
[19:24] <lcb> powertool08, yes it matters for someone trying to install a graphical partition editor without too much resources consuming/requiring
[19:24] <phoebus> Trying to install libglib to get mricron to run, but I get E: Couldn't find package libglib1.2-dev -- any ideas?

[19:24] <lucky__> Sorry for butting in but does anybody here know how I can get ubuntu to boot directly into the desktop without having to log in upon boot up?
[19:24] <Bo_Bo> phoebus, check the filename for typo, i get same error for libgtk

[19:25] <Bo_Bo> lucky__, check the user settings
[19:25] <knight5482> Hello , does it possible to use grep to search for specific string in all files and sub-folders ?
[19:25] <Hydrosis> lucky__: http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-enable-automati-logon-in-ubuntu-or-kubuntu.html
[19:25] <Bo_Bo> ende, i think ext3 with journaling is better
[19:25] <Bo_Bo> knight5482, i think so
[19:26] <trism> knight5482: yes, include -R to search a directory
[19:26] <ende> but I can boot off that ?
[19:26] <Newky> knight5482: grep "string" /
[19:26] <Pici> knight5482: sure: grep -R "string" .
[19:26] <ende> basically I tried to select that partition I made for install and it said that it lacked a root something, told me to go change it in the partition menu
[19:26] <Newky> knight5482: what Pici said ignore mine :)
[19:26] <trism> knight5482: n and H are useful too in this case, to show the line number and the file of the match (although I think -H is default now)
[19:26] <jMyles> apache2-ssl-certificate doesn't work in karmic - so how to generate an apache ssl certificate?

[19:27] <burzki> ende, ditti again.  ext3 or better

[19:33] <Bo_Bo> KEFIR, you could also check the maker's website
[19:33] <KEFIR> I use native proprietary driver for it
