[15:45] <pietrubens> i think the problem might be with the drivers: when i go to SYSTEM>administration>drivers it only sees a graphic driver
[15:46] <lfaraone> AndyGraybeal: well, try "sudo dpkg --configure -a" and tell me if/when you get an error
[15:46] <gch_> those sb cards always been buggy
[15:46] <pietrubens> i looked into the forums, but i really didn't find an understandable sollution. Is there someone who can give me a step by step hand?
[15:46] <gch_> lot of work to run in windows
[15:46] <gch_> let alone ubuntu
[15:46] <klown> Can anyone assist with some g15macro issues?  (no point in typing the entire problem out, if noone has a g15 keyboard)

[15:47] <lfaraone> jevidl: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/images/minimalintrepid11.png
[15:47] <jevidl> lfaraone, thanks for your help, I'll keep messing with it. I think I am in the right place and that it should be possible, at least
[15:47] <lfaraone> jevidl: that's what I meant
[15:47] <lfaraone> dailystruggle: it configures all unconfigured packages.
[15:47] <mixalis_> Hello I have a problem with my TVcard could someone help me please
[15:47] <jevidl> lfaraone, ah, ok. I was somewhere else. I will look more carefully and run through it again. Thank you!

[15:48] <erUSUL> dailystruggle: configure all still not configured packages. can fix minor problems
[15:49] <dailystruggle> can you do this if you have bzr
[15:49] <pietrubens> so, anybody can spare some time to lend a hand please?
[15:49] <TheCheeze> !ask
[15:49] <jevidl> lfaraone, bingo! I was in the screen just after it. Thanks for your patient help, I apparently was having a moment of dumb :)
[15:49] <lfaraone> dailystruggle: I don't think that would have an effect.
[15:49] <lfaraone> jevidl: not a problem

[15:52] <Legendario> I need some help with the karmic UNR. I am using it with aspire one AO715h. Poulsbo drivers from PPA. Aperently After a update, the menu of the netbook remix isn`t visible anymore...
[15:52] <Taim> tonino: #Ubuntu-IT I do believe?
[15:52] <subichan> dear ubuntu channel users, is there a way to change permission on every file inside a certain directory recursively to subdirectories also but WITHOUT changing the permissions on the directories themselves??
[15:52] <tonino> thank you very much
[15:52] <Legendario> is anyone using karmic netbook remix?
[15:52] <Taim> subichan: Not easily.
[15:52] <Taim> subichan: well...
[15:52] <gbs-wes> Legendario: Not easily.
[15:53] <arvind_khadri> mohan_, pc mode i guess, i never tried it :)
[15:53] <Taim> subichan: Take a look at the find man pages.  You can search on a directory based on file type.
[15:53] <dailystruggle> Legendario: what ya need
[15:53] <mohan_> arvind_khadri: hmm.. ok.. thanx though :)
[15:53] <subichan> Taim: it's a website .. so i just wanted to have files readable from the outside without giving access to folders..
[15:53] <Legendario> dailystruggle, I can`t see the menu....
[15:54] <arvind_khadri> mohan_, np :)
[15:54] <dailystruggle> what does it show
[15:54] <Taim> subichan: Go into the root directory, make your changes on those directories.
[15:55] <subichan> Taim: but also directories will be readable?
[15:55] <draconas> wow stupid hydra
[15:56] <Legendario> dailystruggle, it doesn`t show anything... I cant see the buttons on the right side
[15:56] <dailystruggle> Legendario:what are you running it on and ver. k or g
[15:56] <draconas> is there a way to remove the authorization prompt for everything that i do? (IE the password prompt)
[15:57] <freku> i guess you have to be root user then
[15:58] <coz_> ah oh I just figured out how to change single application language from terminal
[15:58] <coz_> darn that fellow is gone
[15:58] <dailystruggle> Legendario:what are you running it on

[16:01] <jevidl> lfaraone, thanks again, 20MB/sec is much nicer than pounding on the us.archive.ubuntu.com mirror every time I am trying a new install.

[16:02] <alberto> Hello
[16:02] <alberto> Good Afternoon
[16:02] <lfaraone> draconas: not in a way that'd be secure, no.
[16:02] <alberto> I need some help, if you please can offer it to me.
[16:02] <lfaraone> draconas: you could run as "root", but that'd let a malicious or buggy program accidentally fsck your system over.
[16:02] <lfaraone> !ask | alberto
[16:03] <alberto> I have just updated my Ubuntu to 9.10, and the sound doesn't work at all

[16:07] <Legendario> dailystruggle, what model of acer?
[16:07] <lfaraone> brianV: build dependancies? sudo apt-get build-dep
[16:07] <Jamed> alberto: run group in terminal and look for audio. if there is no audio run sudo gpasswd -a username audio

[16:10] <alberto> By the way, if that's the problem...(I mean there was no audio group) How did it disappear?
[16:10] <Jamed> Younder: i never used that i personally prefer terminal
[16:10] <Legendario> dailystruggle, but i am using gnome...
[16:11] <dailystruggle> Legendario:just chose netbook from this page http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download
[16:11] <AndyGraybeal> can i mount a .iso file and copy a file to the .iso file?
[16:11] <ShawnRisk> I downloaded and installed adobe for firefox in the admin user, but it isn't working for other users.  How do I fix this?
[16:11] <AndyGraybeal> or.. maybe better, how do i add a file to an .iso file?
[16:11] <dailystruggle> Legendario:I run gnome on desk not netbook
[16:12] <Jamed> AndyGraybeal: isos are just archives you can add filse with ubuntus archive manager
[16:12] <textix> is the evdev module in the ubuntu kernel?
[16:12] <AndyGraybeal> +thanks james
[16:12] <Jamed> AndyGraybeal: * files
[16:12] <grawity> AndyGraybeal: AFAIK, the only way is to rebuild the .iso completely (using mkisofs)... the GUI archive manager does it automatically though, Jamed says
[16:12] <fograven> hey
[16:12] <csna152> doesn anyone know why ubuntu server edition 9.10 would start up networking and it would work for like 4 mins then it would stop working?
[16:12] <Legendario> dailystruggle, it`s been hard to get help for UNR with this hardware...
[16:13] <ahmet> s.a.
[16:13] <lfaraone> csna152: maybe you have faulty hardware.
[16:13] <AndyGraybeal> rock on thanks guys
[16:13] <Legendario> the bad thing is that everything was working ok...
[16:13] <fograven> anyone want to help me with my nvidia set up with a new image?

[16:15] <coz_> fograven,  we need to know you are   sitting at your system after asking a question
[16:15] <maco> dailystruggle: you were at uds-l though?
[16:15] <dailystruggle> yes sir

[16:15] <dailystruggle> ill give u a link
[16:16] <fograven> sorry
[16:16] <coz_> fograven,   ok is this a fresh install?

[16:17] <bwallen> Has anyone had any luck using the fglrx-installer package? I've downloaded it, but now I don't know how to run it.
[16:17] <Jamed> AndyGraybeal: is there an add filse button maybe?
[16:17] <coz_> fograven,   and did you go to system/administrationi/hardware drivers to install the driver?
[16:17] <dailystruggle> maco:I seen your name or heard your name
[16:18] <AndyGraybeal> jamed: i'm looking for one.  thanks so far for the help.
[16:18] <alberto> Jamed
[16:18] <Jamed> AndyGraybeal: i am not that familiar with the archive manager
[16:18] <fograven> no
[16:18] <alberto> It didn't work
[16:18] <Jamed> alberto: you have sound now?
[16:18] <coz_> fograven, that's what you have to do first
[16:18] <fograven> I downloaded the driver
[16:18] <alberto> Jamed Unfortunately, I don't
[16:18] <fograven> and installed it myself
[16:18] <coz_> fograven,  you want to check the highest nvidia driver version number available there for your card
[16:18] <Jamed> alberto: can you run alsamixer?
[16:18] <alberto> Jamed No, I can't
[16:18] <fograven> well with the new image
[16:19] <Jamed> alberto: check group again
[16:19] <alberto> Jamed I'm going to paste here what it returns
[16:19] <dailystruggle> maco:you might remember I was the one wearing riding gear
[16:19] <maco> dailystruggle: ahh ok yeah

[16:19] <fograven> I cant do ctrl +alt+ F1
[16:19] <alberto> Jamed alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[16:19] <coz_> fograven,  one hint when on irc... tyep the first few letters of the persons's name you want to talk with  then hit the "tab" button to complete the name...then type the message...this way the person knows that he is being addressed :)
[16:19] <fograven> and turn off the gdm anymore
[16:20] <dailystruggle> maco:first UDS
[16:20] <fograven> coz

[16:22] <coz_> fograven,  there you go :)
[16:22] <fograven> cool
[16:22] <coz_> fograven, so did you use the hardware drivers to install the driver again?
[16:23] <ChaseM1991> Who knows about using a dns?
[16:23] <fograven> coz_:  I downloaded it from Nvidia
[16:23] <alberto> Is there any way to return to the previous Ubuntu version?
[16:23] <textix> is the evdev module in the ubuntu kernel?
[16:23] <coz_> fograven,  oh!!  that is entirely different
[16:23] <textix> how do i enable it?
[16:23] <sjd> please help me. I really need sound. please help
[16:23] <coz_> fograven,   one thing though... it is going to be more complex of an install this way
[16:23] <Gibby> I need some help, setting up samba on ubuntu to share a printer to xp
[16:23] <alberto> sjd I don't have sound either
[16:23] <coz_> fograven,  first thing     open a terminal   sudo apt-get install build-essential
[16:24] <alberto> sjd Did you update to 9.10 perhaps?
[16:24] <fograven> coz_: something changed on me from Ibex to Karmic
[16:24] <textix> is the evdev module in the ubuntu kernel?
[16:24] <textix> how do i enable it?
[16:24] <rhorse>  /quit
[16:24] <sjd> alberto: no. this was a fresh install
[16:24] <coz_> fograven,  yes the kernel version changed  and the driver needs to create the kernel module for that kernel
[16:24] <textix> is the evdev module in the ubuntu kernel?
[16:24] <textix> how do i enable it?
[16:24] <Gibby> I already have samba setup to share folders and I am using webmin, I followed a few different guides with no luck
[16:24] <fograven> coz_: I can do it from this one
[16:24] <sjd> alberto: if you dont have, well, but I need.
[16:25] <coz_> fograven,  can do what?
[16:25] <RenatoSilva> what's the replacement for emerald decorator?
[16:25] <alberto> sjd I do need sound as well
[16:25] <fograven> coz_: fix the new image from the old one
[16:25] <coz_> RenatoSilva,  if on gnome   gtk-window-decorator
[16:25] <alberto> sjd I'm a musician
[16:25]  * RenatoSilva just cleared the screen
[16:25] <coz_> fograven,   I am not sure I know what you mean by "image"
[16:25]  * RenatoSilva didn't read the answer
[16:25] <dailystruggle> maco: nice to meet you sorry about the wrong address
[16:26] <maco> dailystruggle: wrong address?
[16:26] <fograven> iso
[16:26] <fograven> ??
[16:26] <coz_> fograven,  how are you going to fix that?
[16:26] <dailystruggle> maco:yes ma'm
[16:26] <sjd> alberto: oh really. you should be really missing the essence
[16:26] <coz_> fograven, are you going to clean install from the cd or just install the nvidia driver on the install you already have?
[16:27] <Jamed> alberto: i heard lost of people have sound problems after doing an upgrade. it will most probably work when doing a fresh install
[16:27] <cgray> hi, how do I set up cups so that I don't need a password to print?
[16:27] <RenatoSilva> what's the replacement for emerald decorator? someone sent me a msg but didn't read :(
[16:27] <Gibby> anybody?
[16:27] <RenatoSilva> is it Jasper?
[16:27] <sjd> Jamed: I did a fresh install. but still no sound
[16:27] <fograven> coz_: I just want the new kernerl to work
[16:27] <subichan> this is weird.. i typed sudo chmod "go=r" * but it still won't make viewable the files inside directories other than the root of my website
[16:28] <coz_> fograven,  is the system running well?
[16:28] <epinky> RenatoSilva: <coz_>	RenatoSilva, if on gnome gtk-window-decorator
[16:28] <subichan> pardon me, i typed sudo chmod -R "go=r" *
[16:28] <subichan> but directories seem to be a problem
[16:28] <coz_> RenatoSilva,   you can  do   from alt+F2   gtk-window-decorator --replace
[16:28] <alberto> Jamed You mean formatting and installing the new O.S.?
[16:28] <dailystruggle> Everyone have a wonderful day have to keep the animals
[16:28] <fograven> coz_: yeah other than updating the cards drivers
[16:28] <Jamed> alberto: yes
[16:28] <RenatoSilva> coz_: sorry, do what?
[16:28] <coz_> fograven,  ok hold on
[16:28] <Jamed> alberto: it worked for a friend
[16:29] <RenatoSilva> coz_: enable it, ok
[16:29] <textix> is the evdev module in the ubuntu kernel?
[16:29] <Gibby> n/m got it
[16:29] <coz_> RenatoSilva,  on your keyboard  press alt+F2
[16:29] <textix> how do i enable it?
[16:29] <RenatoSilva> coz_: I don't want to activate it
[16:29] <sjd> Jamed: do you have any other suggestion for me?
[16:29] <coz_> RenatoSilva,  oh
[16:29] <coz_> RenatoSilva,  ok well..emerald is no longer developed or maintained
[16:29] <RenatoSilva> epinky: thanks, but emerald was a replacement for that, right? then it became in turn replaced?
[16:29] <RenatoSilva> coz_: ^^
[16:29] <Jamed> sjd: run group in terminal and look for audio. if there is no audio run sudo gpasswd -a username audio
[16:29] <RenatoSilva> coz_: ^
[16:29] <coz_> RenatoSilva,   so you have the choice on gnome   of gtk-window-decorator or on  kde   kde4-window-decorator
[16:30] <fograven> coz_: I would normally do a sudo chmod +X NV*
[16:30] <maco> RenatoSilva: emerald is no longer maintained upstream
[16:30] <maco> RenatoSilva: and gtk-window-decorator has been improved
[16:30] <fograven> then sudo/etc/init.d/gdm stop
[16:30] <sjd> Jamed: checked that earlier. the group audio is there. current user is a member
[16:30] <coz_> fograven,   well you now have a new kernel and there are two ways of installing the driver for that  either through hardware drivers or  installing it manually
[16:31] <Jamed> sjd: then i dont know how you can get sound
[16:31] <coz_> fograven,  both are fine but I generally install manually for testing beta drivers
[16:31] <BlueEagl1> fograven: In 9.10 gdm is no longer a service but an upstart item.
[16:31] <subichan> is there any other way beside doing sudo chmod -R "go=rx" * ?
[16:31] <maco> sjd: possibly you have a broken driver
[16:31] <RenatoSilva> maco, coz_, epinky: by "what's the replacement for emerald decorator" I mean one that allows similar appearace, with similar themes available, or even compatible with emerald themes, for example True Vista
[16:31] <sjd> maco: but I can get sound throught the jack
[16:31] <coz_> fograven,  the gdm theme can be changed  but it takes a bit of jumping through hoops
[16:32] <fograven> BlueEagl1: what does that mean
[16:32] <jozefk> I found only one Font Manager for Ubunu
[16:32] <jozefk> It's is Fontmatrix
[16:32] <textix> can anyone please take a look at this post for me? http://old.nabble.com/Fixed-it-at-last-SL-6399-td19679889.html and try to explain?
[16:32] <coz_> RenatoSilva,  there are no replacements at this time... we talked about creating a new decorator but it was discussed only once and nothing has been done yet
[16:32] <RenatoSilva> maco: so does gtk-window-decorator have that, a theme similar to True Vista or that compatibility?
[16:32] <BlueEagl1> fograven: It means that `/etc/init.d/gdm stop` is deprecated for `service gdm stop`
[16:32] <coz_> RenatoSilva,  so the ONLY replacements are  gtk-window-decorator or kde4-window-decorator
[16:33] <RenatoSilva> coz_: so if I want to keep my Vista look, I must keep using Emerald. Ah.
[16:33] <maco> RenatoSilva: there is no replacement that uses Emerald themes. Emerald is simply dead upstream (with a "someday we might get around to writing a replacement")
[16:33] <sjd> but I have sound in the jack. my god what is wrong. I have been sitting around more than 48 hours to solve this issue.
[16:33] <coz_> RenatoSilva,  for the time being   yes.... until the developers decide on how or what kind of new decorator will be created
[16:33] <fograven> BlueEagl1: so if i type that in
[16:33] <RenatoSilva> maco: and similar themes?
[16:34] <maco> RenatoSilva: whatever htemes you find for metacity on gnome-look. thats it.
[16:34] <BlueEagl1> fograven: Then GDM should stop. Read more about upstart by googling it. :)
[16:34] <fograven> BlueEagl1: I can install it that way?
[16:34] <RenatoSilva> coz_: do I have emerald here just because of upgrating continuously, or is it in Karmic repo yet?
[16:34] <maco> RenatoSilva: if you want emerald themes, you have to use emerald, but if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces
[16:34] <coz_> fograven,    service gdm restart     cd to the location of the nvidia sh run pacakge    run that   then sudo init 6  to reboot
[16:34] <BlueEagl1> fograven: I'm not sure what the problem is. I just saw the reference to init.d/gdm. I apologize for any inconvenience.
[16:34] <coz_> RenatoSilva, it is still in karmic
[16:35] <RenatoSilva> how to get a screenshot of login screen?
[16:35] <sjd> please I need help. please
[16:35] <maco> RenatoSilva: ...because people whined every time it was removed
[16:35] <sjd> can someone take me through a how to ?
[16:35] <coz_> fograven,  if you want to install the downloaded nvidia driver  you need to be sure you have   build-essential installed first
[16:35] <fograven> its all good i love Ubuntu and learning...... things just changed a lot on me
[16:36] <BlueEagl1> renatosilva: You could attempt to run the command from a text terminal and setting the display environment variable but i doubt it would help. Best suggestion I have tho.
[16:36] <RenatoSilva> maco:  get to keep both pieces?
[16:36] <coz_> fograven,   then  hit ctrl+alt+F1  .... log in.... service gdm stop.... then cd to the locatioin of the nvidia sh run file.... sudo NVIDIA ..hit tab to complet the package name.... hit enter... say yes to every question... then when that is done  type    sudo init 6  to reboot
[16:37] <sjd> please
[16:37] <alysson> iae
[16:37] <maco> RenatoSilva: its a saying "if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces" ...as in, if it breaks too bad, nobody's working on fixing the bugs
[16:37] <sjd> somebody help out
[16:37] <coz_> sjd,  what is the  issue again?  i didnt see your post
[16:37] <maco> sjd: file a bug
[16:37] <sjd> coz_: no sound in my karmic installed dell studio 14
[16:38] <coz_> sjd,   did you check in alsamixer?  open terminal  type   alsamixer  and be sure the PCM slider is active and volume is up and also check if it is recogniized there
[16:38] <RenatoSilva> BlueEagl1: ok will try that. I guess the app is gnome-screenshot*
[16:38] <sjd> coz_: yes. it is maximum
[16:38] <tolland> Hi
[16:39] <tolland> D [02/Dec/2009:16:18:57 +0000] [Job 46] Set job-printer-state-message to "Unable to write print data: Input/output error", current level=ERROR
[16:39] <coz_> sjd,   ok  under system / preferences/ sound
[16:39] <tolland> my print jobs all fail after 1 page. any ideas?
[16:39] <coz_> sjd,  check if it is seeing the card  under the Hardware tab
[16:39] <RenatoSilva> maco: ah ok, I have been using Karmic since release, and I haven't had any problem. Actually it has fixed the ugly look of ubuntu
[16:39]  * RenatoSilva sanitized Ubuntu Karmic from brown look
[16:40] <BlueEagle> renatosilva: That is just plain flamebait and it is best served in #ubuntu-offtopic if you are to serve it at all.
[16:40] <tobiasz> how do I get Audacity to work in Karmic?
[16:40] <phzin> spa ?
[16:40] <sjd> coz_: yeah it is. i can see the volume analyser running when i play sound. even there is sound in the jacks.
[16:40] <BlueEagle> spa: Don't do that please.
[16:40] <coz_> sjd,  are you using external speakers?
[16:40] <spa> SORRY
[16:40] <sjd> coz_: NOPE
[16:41] <coz_> sjd,  this is a laptop or desktop?
[16:41] <sjd> coz_: dell laptop studio 14
[16:41] <BlueEagle> tobiasz: sudo aptitude install audacity && audacity
[16:41] <textix> so you need to use dev/input, you need the linux-input-layer.conf, and you need the evdev module loaded
[16:41] <textix> can anyone explain me what it means?
[16:41] <BlueEagle> tobiasz: Doesn't that do it?
[16:41] <coz_> sjd,  sorry you did mention that.... are you sure the speakers work?
[16:41] <textix> "use dev/input"???
[16:41] <jigal> can anyone help me with this topic: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1343915
[16:41] <RenatoSilva> maco: whatever themes you find for metacity on gnome-look? do you mean themes for the decorator specifically?
[16:41] <sjd> coz_: yeah. I have vista other side. its working.
[16:42] <BlueEagle> textix: Did you try google?
[16:42] <maco> RenatoSilva: gtk-window-decorator is compatible with the themes for the metacity window manager
[16:42] <sjd> coz_: but i really hate that. i need it on my Karmic
[16:42] <tobiasz> BlueEagle you don't use Audacity in 9.10 I see, because it doesn't work, my sound card is SB Live!
[16:42] <BlueEagle> tobiasz: In what way does it not work?
[16:42] <textix> blueEagle; yeah i tried it
[16:42] <tobiasz> doesn't record at all
[16:42] <coz_> sjd,  ok  mmm....  I am trying to think ..off the top of my head... what the issue is but nothing is coming to mind...you may want to go to the #alsa channel to ask or even  ##linux  ... for some reason my brain is locked up :)
[16:43] <WizardOfOz_> Help please, how do I watch mmsh://<IP_ADDRESS>/Channel1Link?MSWMExt=.asf ? VLC and MP dont work :(
[16:43] <BlueEagle> textix: What do you want to use /dev/input for?
[16:43] <tobiasz> BlueEagle it doesn't record at all, just records silence
[16:43] <BlueEagle> tobiasz: Does other applications record sound?
[16:43] <textix> It’s that Speedlink SL-6399 I’ve been on about for nearly 3 weeks now. Ok for anyone that’s got one or thinking of getting one here what I’ve found out. First it thinks it’s a keyboard so you need to use dev/input, you need the linux-input-layer.conf, and you need the evdev module loaded. Then you need to type cat /proc/bus/input/devices to work out where it is.
[16:43] <sjd> coz_: everyones brain seems to be locked up when I fire this question ;)
[16:43] <BlueEagle> tobiasz: I am guessing that the problem is not with audacity but the way your sound is set up.
[16:43] <textix> Blue: its a remote thats really hard to get working
[16:43] <textix> but i found a guide
[16:43] <RenatoSilva> maco: sorry maybe I'm missing some concept. The decorator manages the window title and border, metacity is a window manager that cares about the window content and usage. Or something similar to this.
[16:44] <mMezquitale> tobiasz, youre using ubuntu studio?
[16:44] <maco> sjd: sounds like a broken sound driver. file a bug.
[16:44] <RenatoSilva> maco: I guess "metacity themes" include a decorator theme
[16:44] <tobiasz> BlueEagle 9.10 Ubuntu Karmic regular,
[16:44] <RenatoSilva> maco: but I guess I could individually download decorator themes
[16:44] <maco> RenatoSilva: right, because metacity isnt as modular as compiz.
[16:44] <coz_> sjd,  lol   to be honest  I probably wont be able to help since I compile my own alsa driver for my card   ... I do know that the people in #alsa should be able to solve tis easily   it will depend on who is online in that channel however
[16:44] <ba1dy>  /part
[16:44] <maco> RenatoSilva: metacity has only its one decorator. compiz is the only wm i know that has pluggable decorators
[16:45] <BlueEagle> tobiasz: Sound in linux is not quite like sound in windows. First you have two different sound systems in the kernel. The old and obsolete OSS and the new and better ALSA. I am not sure which sound server Ubuntu runs by default (if any) but what I would try first is alsamixer
[16:45] <maco> BlueEagle: OSS is no longer in the kernel
[16:45] <WizardOfOz_> Help please, how do I watch mmsh://<IP_ADDRESS>/Channel1Link?MSWMExt=.asf ? VLC and MP dont work :(
[16:45] <RenatoSilva> maco: hmm, including gtk-window-decorator?
[16:46] <BlueEagle> tobiasz: `man alsamixer` for instruction on usage. You want the record page and check that your mic is not muted (which it usually is iirc)
[16:46] <maco> BlueEagle: and pulseaudio is the default sound server in ubuntu. kubuntu & xubuntu dont have a sound server
[16:46] <tobiasz> BlueEagle it does record in the default sound registrator
[16:46] <coz_> WizardOfOz_,  I tried that link here... totem tried to open it but failed  let me try with another player hold on
[16:46] <BlueEagle> maco: Thanks for the guidance.
[16:46] <WizardOfOz_> ok coz_ Thanks
[16:46] <maco> RenatoSilva: yes, compiz can use g-w-d, and g-w-d can use themes that are meant for metacity's in-built decorator
[16:46] <tobiasz> BlueEagle after I've setup pavucontrol to record "monitor of SB Live!"
[16:46] <RenatoSilva> maco: ok but back to the point, I guess I could download a theme for the decorator only...
[16:46] <jigal> can anyone help me with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1343915?
[16:47] <tobiasz> BlueEagle why can't I set it up via regular system tray manager
[16:47] <sjd> coz_: none is responding
[16:47] <textix> blueeage, is there any way to "use" that dir?
[16:47] <BlueEagle> !tab > textix
[16:47] <maco> RenatoSilva: if you get a metacity theme, thats what it is. there's nothing else *to* theme, its just that since metacity doesnt have multiple decorators, theres no need to give a more specific name to the themes than "metacity"
[16:47] <mMezquitale> tobiasz, what is the output of "cat /proc/asound/modules"
[16:47] <coz_> sjd,  I dont know in which part of the world most of the people there are from... but stick to it  ...they will eventually answer and also go to ##linux channel as well
[16:47] <portuguesemafia> whats new/
[16:48] <tobiasz> BlueEagle I mean switching mic/what you hear
[16:48] <maco> sjd: i've been telling you: file a bug
[16:48] <coz_> WizardOfOz_,  gmplayer cannot resolve the  link
[16:48] <BlueEagle> textix: Well you would typically identify the device within that directory that corresponds to your remote reciever. Then you would specify that device in (I am guessing) the config file you listed earlier.
[16:48] <sjd> coz_: tired.
[16:48] <maco> sjd: "ubuntu-bug linux"
[16:48] <tobiasz> BlueEagle this is currently the biggest flaw in Ubuntu and needs to be fixed
[16:48] <coz_> WizardOfOz_,  and I dont use  vlc
[16:48] <sjd> maco: yeah Im doing
[16:48] <coz_> sjd, understood
[16:48] <coz_> sjd,   but if you are going to leave irc ,,, rememb
[16:48] <BlueEagle> !bugs | tobiasz
[16:48] <coz_> sjd,  remember those two channels
[16:49] <WizardOfOz_> coz_:  gmplayer :(
[16:49] <WizardOfOz_> It worked with VLC last night
[16:49] <sjd> coz_: seriously. i have been in front for the last 48 hrs
[16:49] <sjd> coz_: yeah will do.
[16:49] <textix> BlueEagle, is there any to use that directory?
[16:49] <RenatoSilva> maco: a metacity theme includes info about the border+title and the rest, I mean get a theme only for the first part, then go to some metacity theme in gnome-appearance-properties, then change the title look in one of its options
[16:49] <coz_> Wiz3000,   ok open a terminal     vlc  and then that address...see if it can open it that way
[16:49] <sjd> coz_: thanks for the tip coz_
[16:49] <coz_> sjd,  oh dude....get some rest  come back tomorrow
[16:49] <mMezquitale> sjd, what is your problem?  Please repost every now and then, a brief description of the problem, all in one line so that everyone can follow, if someone knows the answer they will surely reply
[16:49] <BlueEagle> tobiasz: Well if you are able to record in other applications I would assume it is a setting in audacity. Make sure that it points to the correct sound source.
[16:50] <BlueEagle> textix: I already answered that.
[16:50] <coz_> sjd,  this issue is not as important as your health  so go rest :)
[16:50] <maco> RenatoSilva: oooh hmm dunno about doing that
[16:50] <sjd> mMezquitale: I have a dell studio 14 laptop. Karmic is up. Alsa 1.0.21. pulseaudio. everything. drivers seems to be fine. still no sound. i have sound in the jack too.
[16:50] <RenatoSilva> maco: ok
[16:50] <jigal> an anyone help me with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1343915?
[16:51] <mMezquitale> sjd, what is the output of /proc/asound/modules/
[16:51] <sjd> coz_: but seriously. I need sound. Its something like a challenge which I made to my friends as they would choose free software.
[16:51] <BlueEagle> sjd: Let me see if I understand this correctly: You have sound in the headphone jack, but not in the internal speakers?
[16:51] <sjd> BlueEagle: EXACTLY
[16:51] <tobiasz> BlueEagle the command you mentioned returns:  0 snd_emu10k1
[16:51] <coz_> sjd,  understood....
[16:52] <sin7ax> anyone know where i'd find a quick guide to joining a windows domain???
[16:52] <sjd> mMezquitale: there is no /proc/asound/modules/
[16:52] <coz_> sjd,   see if there is a setting for on/off of the laptop speakers
[16:52] <textix> BlueEagle you mean by using the cat command?
[16:52] <RenatoSilva> epinky, coz_, maco: thanks for help!
[16:52] <textix> it shows up all the devices running, right+
[16:52] <BlueEagle> sjd: Have you unplugged the device in the headphone jack?
[16:52] <coz_> RenatoSilva,  ok guy
[16:52] <sjd> mMezquitale: but there are other folders like card0 card1 intel hdmi etc
[16:53] <sjd> BlueEagle: yeah
[16:53] <tobiasz> in sound properties there should be monitor of [sound card] in INPUT tab
[16:53] <tobiasz> why isn't it there
[16:53] <BlueEagle> sjd: (I haven't followed your conversatoin so I am sorry for any dupes)
[16:53] <tobiasz> BlueEagle
[16:53] <maco> sjd: can you download and run http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh (note thats a bash script not a sh script)
[16:53] <BlueEagle> textix: That is one way to do it. Start with one device that appears likely and cat it then press buttons on your remote.
[16:53] <sjd> BlueEagle: it is okay. I have been typing it since a long time. its always at my fingertips!
[16:54] <mMezquitale> sjd, what is the output of sudo aplay -l
[16:54] <WizardOfOz_> coz_: how about
[16:54] <mMezquitale> sjd use paste bin
[16:54] <BlueEagle> textix: If none of the devices in /dev/input provice results (will appear as garbled characters) then the device is not recognized by the kernel (missing module?)
[16:54] <sjd> mMezquitale: okay.
[16:55] <portuguesemafia> anyone now how to connect the neo freerunner to ubuntu? it doesnt show up

[16:58] <jazzencat> i have an Atheros AR9285 wifi card with the latest ubuntu, but I am getting very weak wifi signal (sub-50%) even when close to the router.  I haven't been able to find a fix for this model card when searching google.
[16:58] <sjd> maco: trying..
[16:58] <BlueEagle> textix: Do you have a kernel module that should help you use the remote?
[16:58] <mMezquitale> sjd, ubuntu recognises your hardware, that is good, lets find out if you have the software installed that's needed to use your audio card, again use paste bin to tell me the output of this: find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd
[16:59] <Pici> docmax: navigate to about:config in firefox and search for browser.backspace_action , set that to 1 to enable using backspace to go back one page.

[17:02] <klown> !ss
[17:02] <dare> is there a way to change the position of notifications?
[17:03] <himuraken> Howdy all, got a server with consistently high load averages. Top is usually very idle, cpu wait is near 27%. iostat shows the same CPU wait time. SUggestions on finding the bottleneck?
[17:03] <BlueEagle> sjd: Do you have a hardware volume control for the jack?
[17:03] <aeon-ltd> draconas: please don't advertise your illegal actions, not all linux users are pirates and hackers
[17:03] <sjd> BlueEagle: no
[17:03] <grawity> aeon-ltd: Huh?
[17:03] <coz_> sjd,  what is the make and model again? let me google the specs
[17:04] <BlueEagle> sjd: Is the volume in the jack affected by adjustments made to the software volume control?
[17:04] <Ixguy> Hi channel.. Anyone familiar with pftp-shit?
[17:04] <mMezquitale> sjd, your hardware is recognized, the software modules are installed, it could be a simple setting in hardware, as in turn the volume up, simple setting in karmic, or a little bit of configuration that you need to do to make your sound card work, first run "alsamixer" and turn the volume up, then go to "sound" applet  in preferences and make sure you have the correct soundcard in "output" tab
[17:04] <maco> sjd: bash, not sh
[17:05] <draconas> aeon-ltd: excuse me, i needed the xp to replace vista since my $400 laptop was getting ate up BY vista, im pretty sure you'd do the same if you had to
[17:05] <tomek__> hi all
[17:05] <sjd> maco: oh
[17:05] <maco> sjd: when it completes, itll give you a url to share here
[17:05] <dare> why is gnome-osd-properties not shipped with karmic? it's using gnome-osd for the annoying notification position right?
[17:05] <sjd> mMezquitale: but I tried! volumes are up. I have the device selected.
[17:05] <BlueEagle> dare: Which notifications? The one in the top right just a bit out from the corner?
[17:06] <aeon-ltd> draconas: anyways you can remove the ubuntu partition, but (from memory (2 years ago)) grub doesn't die with it
[17:06] <lyhana8> does any here know how to install ppa-purge ?
[17:06] <mMezquitale> sjd, is it a laptop or a desktop?  is the sound card built in? are you trying to hear sound from a computer speaker or headphones?
[17:06] <dare> BlueEagle: the ones that appear to tell me my laptop battery capacity is low, or I connceted to a wifi network
[17:06] <coz_> sjd,   what is make and model again so I can google the specs?
[17:07] <draconas> aeon-ltd: your sure it wont kill windows if i delete the ubuntu partitions?
[17:07] <sjd> mMezquitale: laptop. built in sound card
[17:07] <Alien_Freak> someone explain this to me... I have a screen session on a single machine... I run nc -l 3306 and then on the other screen I do telnet localhost 3306 but it fails....
[17:07] <sjd> coz_: dell studio 14. 1440
[17:07] <BlueEagle> dare: Good question. I havent thought about that. First one needs to identify the application actually showing those notifications and then find a configuration file for that application. In there it would most likely be possible to alter the position (and timeout)
[17:07] <mMezquitale> sjd, are you trying to hear sound from the headphones or the computer speaker?
[17:07] <dare> BlueEagle: it's annoying right after logging in to see notification messages spammed across the center of my screen
[17:07] <sjd> mMezquitale: not really. i want sound in the normal speaker
[17:08] <aeon-ltd> draconas: unlikely, but like i said if grub dies and you have no mbr its unbootable, if grub doesn't die, grub is useless except for booting windows
[17:08] <sjd> mMezquitale: im getting mad
[17:08] <sjd> :(
[17:08] <sdwrage> sjd, you gonna turn into the hulk? :D
[17:09] <sjd> sdwrage: lol ! I dont know what to do! you know we believe long live FS :D
[17:09] <mMezquitale> sjd, i've had problems like that before, i've been using sound ever since you could hear sound on both headphones and speaker at the same time,  didnt know the speakers were on and I had my headphones on
[17:09] <BlueEagle> dare: I am thinking that https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD may yeld useful clues
[17:10] <boomernang> sjd, what does aplay -l say?

[17:11] <rethus> hi, in kde i have a taskbar in the kicker... right klick on icon give me options of the programms... in xfce this seems not to work anymore... any idea?

[17:11] <BlueEagle> dare: Acually, that appears to be very much the right tree.
[17:11] <sjd> boomernang: karmic
[17:11] <dare> BlueEagle: looks like there's no getting rid of it now :P
[17:11] <sjd> mMezquitale: hmm. But. What do you suggest next?
[17:11] <mMezquitale> sjd, what is the output of lspci -v |grep Audio
[17:12] <boomernang> man aplay
[17:12] <boomernang> woops
[17:12] <boomernang> try play a sound through the terminal sjd
[17:12] <mMezquitale> sjd, we need to figure out what is broken, it's probably a config setting somewhere but first we must determine what your machine can see
[17:13] <BlueEagle> dare: Well the alternative would be to send all notifications to /dev/null and I don't think you want that.
[17:13] <sjd> mMezquitale: okay.
[17:13] <sjd> mMezquitale: http://pastebin.ca/1698663
[17:13] <sjd> boomernang: how to?
[17:14] <harovali1> hi, please help me. My karmic machine has two NICs, eth0 and eth2. External pings that enter through eth0 are responded. External pings that enter through eth2 are not responded. The firewall is open to all traffic.
[17:14] <boomernang> sjd, grab an ogg from somewhere.. or wav... and type aplay nameoffile.ogg
[17:14] <dare> BlueEagle: indeed, i'll just put up with this nuisance and hope gnome doesn't get any more in my face
[17:15] <boomernang> sjd, or this.. aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav
[17:15] <boomernang> do you hear anything?
[17:15] <epinky> harovali1: posts results of "sudo ifconfig -a" , use pastebin
[17:15] <harovali1> how does avahi play ?
[17:15] <BlueEagle> dare: See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/438536
[17:15] <sjd> boomernang: tried. no sound
[17:15] <Neremor> hello! is there a way to test 5.1 sound of pulseaudio? something like "speaker-test" does via alsa? i mean something that directly addresses pulseaudio...
[17:16] <dare> BlueEagle: yes, that does seem the solution.. but from that overview you sent it's designed to be closer to vertical center :-\
[17:16] <sjd> mMezquitale: ?
[17:17] <Besogon> harovali1: use NetworkManager to turn avahi on
[17:17] <mMezquitale> sjd, my apologies, im kinda slow today, what is the output of "/proc/asound/modules/"???  you should see one line
[17:17] <boomernang> sjd, go to System -> Preferences -> Main Menu.. then on the left scroll down to System/Preferences.. then make sure 'Multimedia Systems Selector' is ticked.. click close.. then go back to System -> Prefernces.. and click on it..
[17:18] <boomernang> click the test button... if no sound.. click on alsa for the drop down menu.. then click test
[17:18] <MaXlMuS> hello guys
[17:18] <sjd> mMezquitale: that folder does not exist
[17:18] <mMezquitale> sjd, you need to install alsa base LoL  go to synaptic and search for alsa-base
[17:19] <git__> can curl handle ajax?
[17:19] <ibuclaw> sjd, I think mMezquitale means:  cat /proc/asound/modules
[17:19] <sjd> ibuclaw: the same
[17:19] <BlueEagle> dare: That was for lucid (10.04). Only five and a half month till you get it in the bottom-right corner.
[17:19] <mMezquitale> sjd, my apologies i meant to cat "cat /proc/asound/modules"
[17:19] <BlueEagle> git__: I think you want #php for that one.
[17:19] <sjd> mMezquitale: alsa-base is installed
[17:20] <grawity> BlueEagle: curl isn't a PHP thing, is it?
[17:20] <sjd> mMezquitale:  0 snd_hda_intel  1 snd_hda_intel
[17:20] <grawity> git__: AJAX is done using JavaScript - so no. curl only does basic HTTP requests, doesn't care about the page contents _at all_.
[17:20] <boomernang> sjd, did you do what I said?
[17:20] <BlueEagle> grawity: Maybe it is not. It may be my bad, but PHP does curl atleast. :)
[17:21] <grawity> BlueEagle: PHP has a curl library - but there's also a command-line program, and libs for other languages.
[17:21] <BlueEagle> git__: You would most likely want to ask that in the irc channel of your favorite scripting language.
[17:21] <greymaus> Checking in...
[17:21] <S0me1> hi
[17:21] <BlueEagle> grawity: That better? ;)
[17:21] <S0me1> anyone try convert pdf2doc?
[17:21] <greymaus> ok...checking out
[17:22] <BlueEagle> git__: Also #curl is a channel on this IRC network. You may want to try there.
[17:22] <S0me1> I am looking for software
[17:22] <ibuclaw> S0me1, that is very generic ... anything specific?
[17:22] <BlueEagle> s0me1: Any software in particular you are looking for?
[17:22] <sjd> boomernang: im doing.
[17:23] <S0me1> just I wanna convert pdf2doc, but 4 sure free :)
[17:24] <sjd> boomernang: i ticked the multimedia selector. selected alsa. for the output. clicked test button with the "defau device. testing is running. no sound
[17:24] <BlueEagle> s0me1: Is that a pdf containig text or just images of text?
[17:24] <S0me1> both
[17:24] <mMezquitale> sjd, I dont believe the sound card is supported by ALSA, sorry, that is one of the reasons I didnt buy a dell studio laptop, your sound card is this Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
[17:24] <sjd> mMezquitale: oh my goodness. so what am I to do now?
[17:24] <BlueEagle> s0me1: So you would not need to run OCR on the image before converting it?
[17:25] <mMezquitale> sjd, you can look up Intel sound cards that are supported here http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Intel
[17:25] <boomernang> sjd, what happens if you click pulseaudio?
[17:25] <sjd> boomernang: testing runs. no sound
[17:26] <romanista> romanista
[17:26] <theadmin1> How can I convert an .ogv to .avi?
[17:26] <romanista> Hi
[17:26] <mMezquitale> sjd, another option is to log in to the channel at other times and ask specifically for someone that has your sound hardware, mention you have a dell studio 14 with the Intel 82801I (ICH9 Family) sound card or you can go to the forums and search for the sound card, hopefully someone figured out how to make it work or someone wrote drivers for it
[17:27] <romanista> where can i download linux fedora 10?
[17:27] <mMezquitale> romanista, this channnel is for ubuntu support
[17:27] <romanista> ok
[17:27] <sjd> mMezquitale: i dont find ICH9 there
[17:27] <Arkturus> My samba stopped working it was working just fine for about a week I went away on holidays and now my server decided to poop with no explination or intervention Halp..  This is my smb conf any help would be appreciated http://paste.ubuntu.com/333268/
[17:27] <aaron11> Hello the tray icon of pidgin is not getting transparent http://imagebin.org/73772. This affects the look of my new Windows 7 theme
[17:28] <S0me1> BlueEagle: I am just try find out any script or software convert pdf forms to doc
[17:28] <Pici> romanista: #fedora would be a good place to start.
[17:28] <theadmin1> romanista: On fedoraproject.org. But this is a ubuntu channel
[17:29] <mMezquitale> sjd, you want to search by the type of chip that you have, you can find it using this: "lspci -v | grep Audio"
[17:29] <TrevorRose2010> Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me a bit with an issue I'm having.
[17:29] <boomernang> mMezquitale, doesnt the dell studio 15 have the same soundcard?
[17:29] <romanista> does anyone know chemicalsoft: chemsketch or isis draw could be installed on ubuntu?
[17:29] <boomernang> i know that works
[17:29] <aaron11> !ask | TrevorRose2010
[17:30] <mMezquitale> boomernang, dont know, i dont have a dell studio 15
[17:30] <Arkturus> aaron11, Id think its just how the tray icon was made its probably not been created with a transparent background.
[17:30] <dare> BlueEagle: the comments for that bug are very interesting especially the developer quote about reducing customizability.. ubuntu will not keep users for long if it cannot grow/change as they do
[17:30] <TrevorRose2010> Alright, so, my audio driver is a realtek audio driver, I downloaded the ubuntu version yesterday, but I'm a complete newb with this stuff and have no idea how to install. The instructions make no since and I was wondering if someone could help me get it installed.
[17:31] <mMezquitale> sjd, your next step is to file a bug report , go to launchpad.net, create an account and file a bug report, hopefully someone will write drivers for it eventually
[17:31] <aaron11> Arkturus: Do you know where the tray Icon is placed in the file systems? I think I can gimp it up a little :-)
[17:31] <sjd> mMezquitale: oh okay. so no sound until that.?! lol. I lost the challenge :(
[17:32] <aaron11> TrevorRose2010: Please show me the instructions
[17:32] <BlueEagle> s0me1: Well, the closest I can bring you is to convert to djvu and that doesn't get you closed to your goal. What you would most likely need to do is a copy/paste job as far as I can tell.
[17:33] <eventi> any idea why cron would not email output?
[17:33] <mMezquitale> sjd, it looks like some people have it up and running thouh although on other machines, search for your chip intel 82801I
[17:33] <aaron11> TrevorRose2010: Oh! Wait I have to go. Bie!
[17:33] <Arkturus> aaron11, My ubuntu-jitsu is getting a little rusty as i've switched my desktops back to doze since seven.  but im sure you could find out all the installed files via apt for the pidgn package and grep it to filter different graphics formants
[17:33] <Arkturus> My samba stopped working it was working just fine for about a week I went away on holidays and now my server decided to poop with no explination or intervention Halp..  This is my smb conf any help would be appreciated http://paste.ubuntu.com/333268/
[17:33] <sjd> mMezquitale: I searched that in the alsa wiki, but no good results
[17:33] <BlueEagle> Where did s0me1 go? :/
[17:33] <sjd> mMezquitale: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Special:Search?search=Intel+Corporation+82801I&go=Go
[17:33] <sjd> boomernang: ?
[17:33] <TrevorRose2010> aaron11: Manual install:
[17:34] <TrevorRose2010> Step 1. unzip source code
[17:34] <TrevorRose2010>         tar xfvj alsa-driver-1.0.xx.tar.bz2
[17:34] <TrevorRose2010> Step 2. Turn on sound support from kernel config
[17:34] <FloodBot5> TrevorRose2010: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:34] <TrevorRose2010> 	(soundcore module, default turn on)
[17:34] <TrevorRose2010> Step 3.  Is there a way to get rid of pulseaudio? If I try to remove it synaptic wants to remove ubuntu-desktop too
[17:35] <TrevorRose2010> arron11: http://paste.ubuntu.com/333273/
[17:35] <sjd> mMezquitale: the link from boomernang says "This sound chip is supported by the snd-hda-intel kernel module, even though it is not listed on the Alsa Driver Page."
[17:35] <AndyGraybeal> where is my syslog in ubuntu (i'm a newb)
[17:35] <sjd> boomernang: how?
[17:35] <boomernang> sjd, on that website man - read
[17:36] <Arkturus> My samba needs some troubleshooting I have no idea why it stopped working Ihttp://paste.ubuntu.com/333268/
[17:36] <mMezquitale> sjd, maybe someone in #alsa can help you figure out how to configure it then, I already helped you as much as I can, you know what the problem is, you know what hardware you have, now you want someone to help you configure it, if you ever find someone in #alsa they will be able to help you more throughly
[17:36] <Arkturus> My samba needs some troubleshooting I have no idea why it stopped working I've pasted my smb.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/333268/  Sorry for the double msg.
[17:37] <TrevorRose2010> Alright, this is my issue. I downloaded my driver, but I have no idea how to install it. I've got my instructions pasted here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/333273/
[17:37] <TrevorRose2010> if anyone can help, please do :]
[17:37] <sjd> mMezquitale: okay.
[17:37] <sjd> boomernang: yeah found. copied to the alsa.conf should I restart?
[17:38] <Arkturus> I cant even see my server in the network page on doze under computers anymore.
[17:38] <boomernang> hang on - pastebin your alsa-base.conf before your restart
[17:38] <boomernang> so i can check it for you
[17:38] <sjd> boomernang: okay
[17:39] <sjd> boomernang: okay
[17:39] <sjd> boomernang: http://pastebin.ca/1698715
[17:40] <boomernang> sjd, make sure you got alsa set in the 'multimedia system selector' before you reboot. goodluck
[17:40] <sjd> boomernang: okay.
[17:41] <sjd> boomernang: what about the device?
[17:41] <boomernang> sjd, what can you choose from?
[17:41] <sjd> boomernang: default? HDA Generic? ATI?
[17:41] <Arkturus> Why is samba so flakey... :(
[17:41] <boomernang> sjd, HDA Generic
[17:41] <Bhudda28> Hello, I would like to get help with Ubuntu install that keeps rebooting every 10 to 15 min.  My system is a dual boot system.  I have Ubuntu as the boot drive and set to master in the Bios.  I also have Windows 7 on a Raid array.  Windows 7 gives me no problems but when I boot into Ubuntu the screen goes black and needs reboot after 10 to 15 min.  I think that even though the raid array is recognized in Ubuntu and I can go in a
[17:41] <N3OInc> howdy
[17:41] <sjd> boomernang: okay. let me reboot.
[17:42] <exhilarated> When I copied a pdf file from my Ubuntu (it's copied from Windows) and pasted it on my Windows again, it is unreadable. Why?
[17:42] <N3OInc> Permissions?
[17:43] <exhilarated> N3OInc: It's an unknow type of file on Windows.
[17:43] <N3OInc> Anyone have issues with Ubuntu on a laptop. When I close my screen, it stays black no matter what I try?
[17:43] <VanessaE> Ok, I've googled for this already and nothing helps:  How do I permanently, totally, and completely disable the ability for Ubuntu to start this @&^$%@ BulletProofX thing?
[17:43] <N3OInc> exhilarated: Heard.
[17:44] <VanessaE> (without breaking the system, I mean)
[17:44] <minerva> is the netbook-remix version the one to use for a laptop?
[17:45] <N3OInc> Nah, Standard 9.10
[17:45] <Arkturus> Bump?
[17:45] <minerva> what's the netbook release for?
[17:45] <N3OInc> It's not just X, because I cant get a terminal
[17:46] <N3OInc> ..Netbooks. Systems of different architecture than standard Intel or AMD chips / chipsets
[17:46] <VanessaE> anyone? Please?
[17:46] <minerva> hm
[17:46] <jiggahuu> ??
[17:46] <VanessaE> this is keeping a machine from starting X properly7
[17:46] <minerva> i don't know what a netbook is, apparently
[17:46] <Arkturus> minerva, google "asus eeepc" or "acer aspire one"
[17:46] <Aruna> i am unable to connect to Wifi :( anyone help me.
[17:47] <jiggahuu> wifi probs eh?
[17:47] <Aruna> yes
[17:47] <jiggahuu> whats the problem?
[17:47] <Aruna> i have installed  ubuntu in my laptop
[17:47] <Arkturus> minerva, they are really lightweight notebooks that are conciddered sub notebooks due to their specs as they are designed for ultraportability and not to be a portable desktop replacement.
[17:47] <Aruna> i removed windownvista completely and instlaled only  Ubuntu.
[17:47] <N3OInc> Aruna: System OS, System Make Model Form Factor
[17:47] <jiggahuu> does the os recognize your nic?
[17:48] <Aruna> HP
[17:48] <sld> boomernang: no sound still. oh my go
[17:48] <N3OInc> Laptop, Desktop? Any model numbers you can see on the front side of the device?
[17:48] <Aruna> i can see Wifi Network but it shows Disabled
[17:48] <Aruna> Laptop HP
[17:48] <jiggahuu> ifconfig -a
[17:48] <N3OInc> dvXXXX, Pavillion ?
[17:48] <jiggahuu> whats the iface called? wlan0, rausb0, etc?
[17:48] <Aruna> altec lansing
[17:49] <sld> boomernang: what do you suggest next?
[17:49] <Aruna> i dont see anything
[17:49] <jiggahuu> if it's not listed, need to maybe install drivers or get updated kernel
[17:49] <Arkturus> How come noone seems to like supporting samba in this room :P  I have to do this all via cli noone seems to like touching the subject.
[17:49] <p2004a> Hi I have got a problem, I have just installed Glest and when I ran the game and clicked the mouse, the cursor went to to the right bootom corner of the screen how can I fix it?? (sory for english)
[17:49] <jiggahuu> what kinda card u got?
[17:49] <Aruna> how to find driver ?
[17:49] <sld> boomernang: ?
[17:50] <Aruna> how to find the card name ?
[17:50] <mMezquitale> Arkturus, because this is #ubuntu support?!?
[17:50] <VanessaE> Ok, I've googled for this already and nothing helps:  How do I permanently, totally, and completely disable the ability for Ubuntu to start this @&^$%@ BulletProofX thing?  This is keeping a machine from fully booting!
[17:50] <jiggahuu> need to know type of card first
[17:50] <ironfoot495> HI is there someone who can help me figure out how to use a microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse on ubuntu 10.4
[17:50] <N3OInc> Alrighty. You would need to figure out what kind of chipset your wireless card uses and attempt to download the drivers and install them, or, you could bridge a connection via wired with a cross over cable and just update. Usually updating finds the drivers you need and you can use the Third-Party Driver tool built in to Ubuntu to graphically enable the card with relative low pain
[17:50] <Aruna> how can i get the card name ?
[17:50] <kiara> hi
[17:50] <Arkturus> mMezquitale, well its samba in ubuntu..  I guess i could try #samba or #smb
[17:50] <jiggahuu> lspci -v | less
[17:50] <S0me1> Aruna: lspci
[17:51] <Aruna> ook wait...
[17:51] <mMezquitale> Arkturus, you probably will have better luck there since it looks like no one logged in right now uses samba
[17:51] <dAlfa89_> Arkturus, what's the problem?
[17:51] <boomernang> sld, im trying to find something.
[17:51] <Arkturus> mMezquitale, I will give it a go i just figured it was probably an issue on the ubuntu side.
[17:51] <ibuclaw> Arkturus, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[17:52] <sld> boomernang: okay waiting.
[17:52] <Arkturus> dAlfa89_, well i set up ubuntu a while ago using the link ibuclaw just linked but when i went away on holidays it totally stopped working.
[17:52] <Aruna> lspci displays so many data !
[17:52] <jiggahuu> you can pipe it into grep
[17:52] <Arkturus> dAlfa89_, with no real explination.. :S  It was working seemelessly before.
[17:52] <jiggahuu> lspci -v | grep <whatever you wanna filter>
[17:52] <jiggahuu> like lspci -v | less ethernet
[17:53] <jiggahuu> oooops
[17:53] <jiggahuu> like lspci -v | grep ethernet
[17:53] <dAlfa89_> Arkturus, stopped working how?
[17:53] <ibuclaw> Aruna, I disagree - it doesn't show enough. ;)
[17:53] <Arkturus> ibuclaw, I'm staring at that guide wondering what could be wrong with my configuration but it looks like i did everything right :S...  I have the worst luck with samba.
[17:53] <jiggahuu> or less specific, like lspci -v | grep driver
[17:53] <Aruna> ok
[17:53] <Arkturus> dAlfa89_, well its not showing up in any computers on my network
[17:53] <ibuclaw> Arkturus, can you ssh into the server?
[17:54] <Aruna> so many drivers
[17:54] <Arkturus> ibuclaw, yep I've got an ssh open atm
[17:54] <jiggahuu> hang on
[17:54] <ibuclaw> Arkturus, can you confirm samba is running?
[17:54] <Aruna> b43 pci bridge ?
[17:54] <jiggahuu> lemme plug in my wifi card and see what mine says
[17:55] <Arkturus> ibuclaw, running top...
[17:55] <jiggahuu> oh!
[17:55] <jiggahuu> broadcom
[17:55] <Aruna> is it that one ?
[17:55] <ibuclaw> Arkturus, sudo service samba status
[17:55] <jiggahuu> well, that could be ethernet
[17:55] <ibuclaw> usually does the trick ...
[17:55] <jiggahuu> hang on
[17:55] <dAlfa89_> !who | jiggahuu Aruna
[17:55] <jiggahuu> im guessing ur on ethernet now?
[17:56] <Arkturus> ibuclaw, smbd and nmbd are running.
[17:56] <Aruna> !tab
[17:56] <jiggahuu> what comes up when u type iwconfig?
[17:56] <Aruna> ubottu:  thank you :)
[17:56] <ibuclaw> Arkturus, have they been restarted since discovering the fault?
[17:56] <N3OInc> Isn't ubottu so helpful
[17:56] <N3OInc> Lol.
[17:57] <ibuclaw> N3OInc, he is only a robot
[17:57] <N3OInc> ibuclaw: I am aware, thank you.
[17:57] <Arkturus> ibuclaw, i've run "sudo /etc/init.d/samba reload" a couple times to try and jog it.
[17:57] <grawity> ibuclaw: You mean only humans can ever be helpful? :(
[17:57] <N3OInc> ibuclaw: I was being sarcastic... My apologizes.
[17:57] <Aruna> jiggahuu 3 lines saying no wireless estensions
[17:58] <Aruna> lo
[17:58] <Aruna> eth0
[17:58] <Aruna> and pan0
[17:58] <jiggahuu> Aruna, yeah, no drivers installed
[17:58] <Aruna> jiggahuu:  :( what to do now !
[17:58] <Arkturus> ibuclaw, I've also restarted the whole server several times.
[17:59] <jiggahuu> well the first thing is to figure out make/model of card.
[17:59] <jiggahuu> hang o
[17:59] <jiggahuu> on
[17:59] <ibuclaw> grawity, well ... a microwave is only useful for heating things - not doing my homework.
[17:59] <N3OInc> Any insight on this strange laptop screen closed lock up thing?
[17:59] <ibuclaw> Arkturus, okies ... is the server pingable?
[18:00] <ibuclaw> Arkturus, actually - ignore that, you are ssh'd into it ;)
[18:00] <Arkturus> ibuclaw, ;)
[18:00] <ibuclaw> Arkturus, check firewall settings then ...
[18:00] <jiggahuu> arturis, is your card pci or usb?
[18:01] <jiggahuu> sorry Aruna, is your card pci or usb?
[18:01] <Aruna> jiggahuu:  no idea :(
[18:01] <Aruna> jiggahuu: i see its pci
[18:01] <Arkturus> ibuclaw, I just run a pfsense box with snort at my entrypoint to the internet so as this is a lan issue I dont believe thats causing an issue :S.
[18:01] <Aruna> jiggahuu:  some thing like  b43 pci bridge
[18:01] <jiggahuu> probably pci, unless you plug it in on the side of your computer
[18:02] <fretegi_part_2> hey guys
[18:02] <jiggahuu> actually, my fault
[18:02] <fretegi_part_2> quick question
[18:02] <jiggahuu> that b43 is your wireless driver
[18:02] <jiggahuu> *card
[18:02] <Aruna> jiggahuu: what to do now :(
[18:02] <jiggahuu> you need to get the broadcom drivers installed
[18:02] <Aruna> jiggahuu: oook
[18:02] <dAlfa89_> !who | jiggahuu
[18:02] <jiggahuu> there is alot of info for that nowadays
[18:02] <fretegi_part_2> how do i take an .iso and put it on a usb drive in a manner than makes it useable, say a live install cd for example?
[18:02] <Aruna> jiggahuu:  how to fine it and how to download it ? any site ?

[18:03] <sisif> Hello guys. Is there any alternate driver for ATI video card (except the official one from AMD) which could give me better 3d performance ?
[18:04] <havocspartan> ok you all have answered this question a billion times i bet but i i keep getting "make sure rfmon is enabled" when i type airodump-ng eth1. trying to crack wep passwords and its kinda hard when thats a key command

[18:05] <jiggahuu> havocspartan, use iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
[18:05] <Arkturus> ibuclaw, so you can see how im kinda frustrated ... :S
[18:05] <jiggahuu> replace wlan0 with your card name
[18:05] <Aruna> jiggahuu: it shows lot of ubuntu command to download .. if i dont access net how can i download in my ubuntu system lol
[18:05] <N3OInc> Damn, ubott is on overdrive today
[18:05] <Flare-Laptop> N3OInc: Actually I did that.
[18:05] <jiggahuu> Aruna, how are you connected now? and on what os?
[18:06] <N3OInc> Oh. Howdy Flare
[18:06] <Aruna> my desktop
[18:06] <ibuclaw> Arkturus, aye, but with networking you have to break things down bit by bit ;)
[18:06] <Aruna> jiggahuu: i have direct link to my desktop.
[18:06] <jiggahuu> oh, so you're on a different comp altogether
[18:06] <havocspartan> jiggahuu rror for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
[18:06] <havocspartan>     SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such device
[18:06] <sidd> hello everyone...can sommone please tell me how can i speed up my mouse in ubuntu
[18:06] <ibuclaw> Arkturus, check the system isn't blocking the port, check the router is port forwarding as it should, etc.
[18:06] <jiggahuu> i know your pain lol
[18:07] <ibuclaw> and port forwarding to the right location
[18:07] <Flare183> sidd: Goto the system menu, preferences, mouse
[18:07] <ibuclaw> try to connect via hostname
[18:07] <jiggahuu> Aruna: you at home right now?
[18:07] <Aruna> jiggahuu: yes i have laptop and desktop.
[18:07] <ibuclaw> Arkturus, try to connect via ip address, etc, etc, etc
[18:07] <N3OInc> Aruna: According to chat history... You're running the same chipset that I am. Broadcom 43. All I did was get connected to the net and update
[18:07] <jiggahuu> Aruna, both have ethernet ports?
[18:08] <N3OInc> Aruna: Do you have a cross-over ethernet cable
[18:08] <Arkturus> ibuclaw, Ill try ip connect as theres had nothing special changed on this router that should affect it.
[18:08] <havocspartan> jiggahuu, error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such device
[18:08] <sidd> thank you very much.....but there is no option to increase scrolling speed any tip for that?
[18:08] <bakarat> ok rather annoying, since late 9.04, and also in 9.10, the numpad keys have stopped working on my dell laptop (mind you, only in gnome, they work in kde...)
[18:08] <jiggahuu> havocspartan, change wlan0 to your iface name
[18:08] <N3OInc> ...Wait... Can't you just plug directly into your Modem/ish with Eth. and update?
[18:08] <jiggahuu> havocspartan, use ifconfig -a  OR iwconfig to find out iface name
[18:08] <Aruna> N3OInc, jiggahuu, i can connect internet throught cable if you want. i can detatch net from desktop and connect to laptop.
[18:08] <Flare183> havocspartan: type in iwconfig and you should see your wireless cards name
[18:09] <jiggahuu> Aruna, that's what i would suggest
[18:09] <Flare183> on the terminal I mean.
[18:09] <klown> I have a logitech mx620 mouse that has a search button on it.  can anyone tell me how to remap that button?  xev is showing no output for it.  When I press it, it loads the screen up with gnome-search-tool windows, (like 50 or so)  any help would be greatly appreciated.
[18:09] <N3OInc> Aruna: You should get online that way, and run an update
[18:09] <sidd> Flare183:thank you very much.....but there is no option to increase scrolling speed any tip for that?
[18:09] <jiggahuu> in linux, you can be connected to ethernet and wireless simultaneously
[18:09] <Aruna> jiggahuu: but what command i need to use.
[18:09] <jiggahuu> Aruna, command for what?
[18:09] <Aruna> N3OInc:  you mean update whole ubuntu ?
[18:09] <N3OInc> Aruna: You can do it all graphically. 9.09/9.10
[18:10] <N3OInc> Aruna: Just use the update tool.
[18:10] <havocspartan> jiggahuu, thats my lan settings is it not? im currentl wireless and have a modem set up for wep cracking practice
[18:10] <Aruna> jiggahuu,N3OInc, i am using 9 10
[18:10] <Flare183> sidd: There is a possibility that you could do it via the xorg.conf file maybe. But Idk exactly how to do that.
[18:10] <Aruna> jiggahuu,N3OInc,  ok i will run a full update now..
[18:10] <jiggahuu> havocspartan, those are your interface names
[18:10] <N3OInc> Jah
[18:10] <jiggahuu> Aruna, you probably dont need to do that
[18:11] <jiggahuu> seriously
[18:11] <N3OInc> jiggahuu: It would be the easiest way to get the drivers installed.
[18:11] <Aruna> jiggahuu,N3OInc, if i do update all.. will i get the driver also ?
[18:11] <jiggahuu> B43 drivers are so old, there isnt anything new in 9.10 that wasnt there since 8.10
[18:11] <havocspartan> jiggahuu, correct my wireless name is eth1.
[18:11] <bakarat> since late 9.04, and also in 9.10, the numpad keys have stopped working on my dell laptop (mind you, only in gnome, they work in kde...), my wireless is the other way around, works in gnome, and while kde says it's connected, i in fact have no ip and no connectivity
[18:11] <jiggahuu> N3OInc, really?
[18:12] <jiggahuu> Aruna, if N3OInc says it worked for him i'd try it
[18:12] <govatent> hello guys. I need help trying to install ubuntu 9.10 x86 on a laptop that has a broken cd drom drive. I have a floppy, usb ports (non bootable) and i might have network booting as it's in the bios but not sure if the card really supports it. what's my best option for using ubuntu on this?
[18:12] <N3OInc> jiggahuu: I had to do it in 9.09 and 9.10 to get my comp on wifi. Inspiron 2200 running the B43 under Third-Party
[18:12] <Aruna> jiggahuu,N3OInc, ok Gurus :) i wll run the update now :)
[18:12] <jiggahuu> havocspartan, your wireless name is eth1? lol
[18:13] <jiggahuu> so iwconfig shows eth1 as your wireless card?
[18:13] <N3OInc> Aruna: Farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr from a guru... Im a linux nub.... Or a kumquat... Probably closer to a kumquat then a nub.
[18:13] <jigal> QUESTION: can anyone help me with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1343915
[18:13] <Aruna> jiggahuu,N3OInc,  i just today killed Windows from my laptop now freedom from windows lol
[18:13] <jiggahuu> Aruna, i aint a guru either, but always glad to help if i can
[18:13] <cesare_> r explosionirc.org
[18:14] <Aruna> Thank you so much :)
[18:14] <havocspartan> jiggahuu, haha i know that was default. im using backtrack 4 and didnt bother changing it. iwconfig says lo no wireless extension, eth0 no wireless coneection and eth1 has ieee , essid, and all the data
[18:14] <jiggahuu> no prob
[18:14] <Aruna> jiggahuu,N3OInc,  ok let me disconnect... attach network to my laptop and do a full update :) ok ?
[18:14] <jiggahuu> havocspartan, yeah backtrack4 does have a weird naming scheme
[18:14] <N3OInc> Aruna: You can always come back.
[18:14] <jiggahuu> my wireless card is named differently in BT4 than in Ubuntu
[18:15] <jiggahuu> Aruna, K, good luck man
[18:15] <Aruna> jiggahuu,N3OInc,  ook i be back soon or may be connect net from ubuntu see you both soon :)
[18:15] <Aruna> jiggahuu,N3OInc,  girl lol
[18:15] <jiggahuu> Aruna, k. later man
[18:15] <havocspartan> govatent, i would buy a new cd rom drive, ubuntu is too large for a floppy and i used cd. buy cd rom driver is fasest and eiest
[18:15] <N3OInc> jiggahuu: Same here. My card is actually Intel yaddayadda. In BT3 its an Intel but it runs as the chipset name in Ubuntu
[18:16] <bakarat> since late 9.04, and also in 9.10, the numpad keys have stopped working on my dell laptop (mind you, only in gnome, they work in kde...), my wireless is the other way around, works in gnome, and while kde says it's connected, i in fact have no ip and no connectivity
[18:17] <jiggahuu> N3OInc, mine uses the chipset name in ubuntu and generic name in backtrack
[18:17] <jiggahuu> brb, gotta get some doritos and a coke
[18:17] <N3OInc> jiggahuu: Weird how that happens huh?
[18:17] <rhorse> bakarat: check the settings for users as far as permisiion groups go. I've heard that could be an issue.
[18:17] <xckpd7> what's the best way to install flash on ubuntu (jaunty) ?
[18:18] <xckpd7> I'm kinda scared how it will affect my computer performance
[18:18] <N3OInc> Anyone have any good resources on intermediate-advanced google hacking? Any kind of possible operator combination info or anything like that?
[18:19] <jiggahuu> N3OInc, yeah it is
[18:19] <klown> I have a logitech mx620 mouse that has a search button on it.  can anyone tell me how to remap that button?  xev is showing no output for it.  When I press it, it loads the screen up with gnome-search-tool windows, (like 50 or so)  any help would be greatly appreciated.
[18:19] <havocspartan> jiggahuu, so you have any idea? if not ill figure it out eventually lol ill make sure to tell u so u can help othe rppl
[18:19] <N3OInc> xckpd7: I think I actually installed the Adobe version, with no performance change, but check with the guys... Guys, Opinions on Flash ?
[18:19] <jiggahuu> havocspartan, what is it youre trying 2 do?
[18:20] <jiggahuu> havocspartan, put your card in mon mode?
[18:20] <havocspartan> jiggahuu, airodump-ng gives me an error saying make sure rfmon is enabled
[18:21] <jiggahuu> havocspartan, iwconfig eth1 mode monitor
[18:21] <N3OInc> jiggahuu: Can someone help me clearly, cleanly, and simply identify the difference between promisc and monitor mode?
[18:21] <trism> xckpd7: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[18:21] <jiggahuu> havocspartan, if that doesnt work, then first ifconfig eth1 down, then iwconfig mode monitor
[18:21] <N3OInc> Errr Jiggahuu, you too man. lol
[18:21] <subichan> for apache web users are www-data?
[18:21] <jiggahuu> N3OInc, no difference from what i can tell
[18:22] <N3OInc> jiggahuu: Heard, Ty
[18:22] <xckpd7> trism: thanks I'll try that....
[18:22] <xckpd7> N3OInc: cool thanks for the tip

[18:23] <tundrayeti311> after running virus scanner on my home directory, it says it has found viruses in ~/.mozilla . Has anyone else experienced this, or are familiar with the files that should be in that directory?  I'm fairly sure that these are false positives, but...
[18:23] <abhifx> hi there, is there a way to download deb files from ppa using a download manager?
[18:23] <sebsebseb> hi
[18:23] <Aruna> I am back
[18:24] <N3OInc> xckpd7: No problem mate. Just come on by when you can to return the favor, if you are un-sure, help is still help, just call it out to the others as I did.
[18:24] <N3OInc> xckpd7:We gotta get this channel to blossom....
[18:24] <jiggahuu> hey i'll be back in a minute
[18:25] <N3OInc> Collective conscious or Collective logic... That is the real question
[18:25] <klown> I have a logitech mx620 mouse that has a search button on it.  can anyone tell me how to remap that button?  xev is showing no output for it.  When I press it, it loads the screen up with gnome-search-tool windows, (like 50 or so)  any help would be greatly appreciated. (sorry for the resposts, but i cant find any help on the net)
[18:26] <N3OInc> klown: I am unaware of any apps. available to allow those functions, but I am sure there must be a way to get the config for those extra buttons mapped over to something...
[18:26] <epinky> klown: we are in the net :)
[18:27] <klown> N3OInc, I found several how-tos on how to map all the keys, except for the search key.  its really annoying pressing it once, and having 50 windows pop up.
[18:27] <klown> epinky, you know what i mean :P
[18:27] <Pici> N3OInc: fyi, if you want to discuss other non-support related topics, we have #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:27] <N3OInc> Pici: Was it off topic?
[18:27] <bakarat> since update to 9.10, KDE seems to be connected to my wireless (that's what the connection manager seems to visually indicate anyway), but i have no ip, no connectivity, i already have the driver for my wifi installed (dell vostro) and it works in gnome, any ideas?
[18:28] <N3OInc> Pici: I thought that the channel it self or the mouse settings of ubuntu in general where on topic.
[18:28] <Pici> N3OInc: Maybe I was just confused by your collective conscious/logic comment.
[18:29] <N3OInc> Pici: Sorry, I was establishing if we were here as a collective opinion and bias, or a collection of a logical/empirical bias.
[18:29] <havocspartan1> jiggahuu, i got an error form that also

[18:30] <kaduk> Hi I removed virus called pulseaudio, how to install volume control applet for gnome panel ?
[18:30] <abhifx> hi there, is there a way to download deb files from ppa using a download manager?
[18:31] <havocspartan> jiggahuu, i got an error form that also
[18:32] <havocspartan> jigghuu, the error is: error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument.
[18:32] <kaduk> How to install gnome panel applet to control sound volume ??
[18:32] <kaduk> without pulseaudio
[18:33] <rhorse> kaduk: I use volwheel, it stays as an icon in taskbar. But I think there are internal tools to do it also
[18:33] <epinky> kaduk: sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer ?

[18:39] <TrevorRose2010> Hi guys, I'm trying to install this mac look ailike dock with avant window navigator on ubuntu 8.04
[18:40] <egertonxx> I installed ubuntu netbook remix on my compaq netbook but my wifi is not working.
[18:40] <sebsebseb> TrevorRose2010: Cairo Dock is the best dock, they say
[18:40] <TrevorRose2010> and it isn't working. Says there is no public key? Alright. Where would I get that?
[18:40] <sebsebseb> !wireless |  egertonxx
[18:40] <sebsebseb> TrevorRose2010: not sure, but it's not in the repo
[18:40] <TrevorRose2010> alright, thanks :]

[18:41] <dragon> what's better - apt-proxy or apt-cacher?
[18:41] <nothingHappens> hi, why does ubuntu keep adding my other computer on my home network as a DNS server?
[18:41] <egertonxx> thanks ubuttu
[18:41] <nothingHappens> it's not, and having it in there slows down my network considerablt
[18:42] <dragon> nothingHappens: are you using DHCP?
[18:42] <nothingHappens> when i remove it though, it keeps coming back
[18:42] <dragon> egertonxx: it's ubottu, not ubuttu.
[18:42] <grawity> nothingHappens: Maybe because that "other computer" has a DHCP server running?
[18:42] <nothingHappens> i am probably using dhcp, yes
[18:42] <mun> hi
[18:42] <nothingHappens> why would that computer have a dhcp server  running?
[18:42] <dragon> nothingHappens: where's the DHCP server?
[18:42] <mun> does anyone know how to change the theme used on the login screen in karmic?
[18:42] <nothingHappens> my real dhcp servers, or my other computer?  incidentallyu, also ubuntu
[18:42] <xckpd7> can anyone help me configure ubuntu sound?
[18:43] <mun> and the splash screen as well. at the moment, it's just a white ubuntu logo.
[18:43] <grawity> nothingHappens: Check the other computer. (If there are several DHCP servers reachable, the system just uses the first reply that arrives.)
[18:43] <nothingHappens> i have 2 other dhcp servers
[18:43] <nothingHappens> or dns
[18:43] <nothingHappens> rather
[18:43] <dragon> nothingHappens: are you behind a router?
[18:43] <grawity> nothingHappens: sudo netstat -lpun, check for any programs listening on ports 67 or 68.
[18:44] <nothingHappens> dragon, yes
[18:44] <dragon> nothingHappens: check your router's config. that's where DNS servers are specified.
[18:44] <oliver__> yo
[18:45] <sebsebseb> mun: it can't be themed like the old one, I think all you can change is the icons and background some how
[18:46] <sebsebseb> mun: themeing features will come later apparantly.  use KDM if you want a nice looking theme, the KDE one which is in the repo,  oryou can try slim  which is not in the repo, and meant to be pretty good, I haven't tried just yet though.
[18:46] <mun> sebsebseb, but should the logo at bootup pulsate? mine's a white logo.
[18:46] <dragon> apt-proxy or apt-cacher?
[18:46] <nothingHappens> openvpn, dhclient, avahi-daemon, and nmbd show up on that netstat -lpun
[18:47] <sebsebseb> mun: what was the question?  and yes your meant to get a white Ubuntu logo in the centre of the screen on boot up
[18:47] <mun> sebsebseb, yeah, mine's just a white logo. is this the default?
[18:47] <dragon> mun, yes it pulsates.
[18:47] <nothingHappens> hm the router config had it in there for some reason
[18:48] <mun> dragon, right. do you know how i can make it pulsate?
[18:48] <sebsebseb> mun: you could get a second bit with GDM the default log in.  that says Ubuntu  in this like sand/dust theme
[18:48] <nothingHappens> craziness
[18:48] <sebsebseb> mun: when I did KDM though, I would  no longer get that
[18:48] <dragon> mun, are you running karmic?
[18:48] <sebsebseb> what does pulsates mean?
[18:48] <mun> dragon, yeah
[18:49] <mun> sebsebseb, as in whether, it animates.
[18:49] <dragon> sebsebseb: glowing logo, with brightness increasing and then decreasing periodically.
[18:49] <dragon> mun, most probably your graphics card doesn't support the pulsation effect.
[18:49] <sebsebseb> dragon:  mun  ok thanks
[18:49] <sebsebseb> mun: yes it's meant to like Flash or whatever,  and see my pm :)
[18:49] <mun> dragon, hmm mine's a gf4. it worked in jaunty.
[18:50] <dragon> mun, maybe just pretend that it's pulsating.
[18:50] <mun> i think the upgrade screwed up my flash as well
[18:50] <dragon> that's what i'd have done if i were you.
[18:50] <mun> because i can't rewind or fast forward in youtube
[18:51] <dragon> mun, that's unrelated to the pulsating effect at startup.
[18:51] <nothingHappens> i think i know what happened.  the remains of an aborted attempt to get smb going on my home network
[18:52] <mun> dragon, right. it used to in jaunty and i think my video card is powerful enough for that.
[18:52] <nothingHappens> thanks guys
[18:52] <mun> also, somehow i can't get twinview to work if i use nvidia 185, but only on 173.
[18:52] <mun> i've also tried 190, but no luck.
[18:52] <mun> this upgrade seems quite buggy
[18:53] <sebsebseb> mun: oh an upgrade from jauntey?
[18:53] <mun> sebsebseb, yeah
[18:53] <sebsebseb> mun: Many people got issues after upgrading from jauntey,  plus those 9.04 Ext3 installs won't be upgraded to Ext4 on upgrade, and you won't get Grub 2 either
[18:53] <VirusTB> h
[18:54] <VirusTB> Hello
[18:54] <VirusTB> Hello
[18:54] <mun> hmm
[18:54] <Deadman> hello
[18:54] <nothingHappens> OH HAI
[18:54] <Mini_raccoon> Hei
[18:54] <sebsebseb> mun: you could try clean installing, but you may still get an issue or two or so
[18:54] <Asad-away> anybody uses eclipse/PDT here ?
[18:54] <MikeChelen> yeah
[18:55] <sebsebseb> mun: and yes 9.10  is buggy here and there, and certain things that worked fine in Jaunty don't in Karmic,  and you can check out the release notes for the common issues
[18:55] <sebsebseb> !notes |  mun
[18:56] <Asad-away> arggh ... since I upgraded to 9.10 many of the buttons in eclipse no longer do anything at all ..
[18:56] <MFox> Asad-away: thats pretty normal
[18:56] <mun> i wish i could revert back to juanty
[18:56] <mun> it's a pain
[18:57] <sebsebseb> mun: having a seperate /home makes clean installing or even distro hopping easier
[18:57] <Asad-away> how is it normal MFox .. you mean to say it's a known bug ?
[18:57] <sebsebseb> !home |  mun
[18:57] <mun> sebsebseb, yeah i already have
[18:57] <MFox> Asad-away: no im just kidding ;)
[18:57] <mun> but still, i got lots of packages installed already
[18:57] <sebsebseb> mun: are they all from the repo?
[18:57] <mun> sebsebseb, no.
[18:57] <mun> a lot of haskell libraries
[18:58] <sebsebseb> mun: not sure what you mean by that
[18:58] <mun> sebsebseb, just third party libraries.
[18:58] <drope-br> Hi, I set up a NAT using fwbuilder, set up dhcp and everything seems to be working fine for nat clients. However, it seems I can't access internet on the server. What firewall rule may be interfering on this? I'm using iptables as my firewall
[18:58] <sebsebseb> mun: also  be careful where you get things, that aren't from the repo, since bad sources do/can exist
[18:58] <mun> somehow karmic feels slower too
[18:58] <trism> sebsebseb: haskell is a functional programming language
[18:59] <sebsebseb> trism: I thought proggramming or whatever I think
[18:59] <sebsebseb> mun: maybe since your on Ext3?
[18:59] <sebsebseb> mun: however I tested with Ext3 and Ext4 and it  didn't seem to make much of a difference boot boot up, and shut down
[18:59] <mun> sebsebseb, i'm on ext2 actually
[18:59] <sebsebseb> mun: Why and that could be it
[19:00] <mun> sebsebseb, i've been upgrading since intrepid
[19:00] <sebsebseb> mun: you should have done Ext3 for Intrepid really :)
[19:00] <mun> sebsebseb, from hardy actually.
[19:00] <mun> did they have ext3 in hardy?
[19:00] <sebsebseb> mun: well with hardy then,  or gone with something like XFS, but Ext2 hmm
[19:00] <sebsebseb> mun: yes
[19:00] <sebsebseb> Ext3 has been the default for all Ubuntu's
[19:00] <sebsebseb> untill  9.10
[19:01] <sebsebseb> 9.10 get's Ext4 by default instead
[19:01] <mun> sebsebseb, sorry, it is ext3.
[19:01] <egertonxx> which usb wireless adapter works well with ubuntu netbook remix
[19:01] <sebsebseb> egertonxx: not sure, but
[19:01] <sebsebseb> !hardware | egertonxx
[19:01] <sebsebseb> !wireless |  egertonxx
[19:02] <mun> maybe i will have to do a clean install.
[19:02] <drope-br> Hi, I set up a NAT using fwbuilder, set up dhcp and everything seems to be working fine for nat clients. However, it seems I can't access internet on the server. What firewall rule may be interfering on this? I'm using iptables as my firewall.
[19:02] <sebsebseb> mun: well if you do and you put 9.10 on,  Ext4 by default, but set up a seprate /home :)
[19:02] <sebsebseb> mun: and you get Grub 2
[19:02] <azlon> where can i view the logs for my ftpd?
[19:03] <VirusTB> azlon, god question
[19:03] <sebsebseb> mun: get your ISO from the torrent and it's probably fine,  get it from HTTP/FTP,  and  good idea to md5sum/sha1sum or both even, check it :)
[19:03] <sebsebseb> !md5sum > mun
[19:03] <azlon> VirusTB, nm, i got it... /var/log/messages
[19:03] <epinky> drope-br: we can't know if you don't post your rules :) , if you can post'em then use pastebin
[19:04] <J1mB0> how can I activate the visual effects from ubuntu 9.10 @ vmware 7?
[19:04] <[Kismet]> certainly something with your outbound rules though
[19:05] <mun> sebsebseb, yeah thanks
[19:05] <sebsebseb> mun: ok np
[19:05] <mun> should i go for ext4 or ext3?
[19:06] <RS-232> Any way to go back to previous page when deleting a node? is so anoying to be set to front page every time a node is deleted. Thanks
[19:06] <RS-232> I was thinking to store in SESSION the last path that is not a form, and after node_delete is executed, then redirect to that path, any one can give me a couple of clues please?
[19:07] <RS-232> what do you think?
[19:07] <Pici> RS-232: Um. This is #ubuntu, are you sure you're asking in the right channel?
[19:07] <RS-232> Pici: ooopsss, sorry I thought I was talking to #drupal
[19:07] <sebsebseb> mun: if doing 9.10  go with Ext4
[19:07] <RS-232> Sorry guys
[19:07] <mun> ok thanks
[19:07] <epinky> XD
[19:07] <sebsebseb> mun: altough  there's something about really big data
[19:08] <sebsebseb> mun: and how it might get currupted. see release notes for details
[19:08] <sebsebseb> mun: however I assume if Ext4 wasn't stable enough, it woudn't be used as the default
[19:08] <sebsebseb> for 9.10
[19:08] <sebsebseb> !notes |  mun
[19:08] <mun> sebsebseb, so should i use ext3 instead
[19:09] <sebsebseb> mun: you will probably be fine with Ext4,  also  you should be backing up any important data else where anyway, because hard disks can just fail
[19:09] <mun> ok
[19:09] <ScoobyDoo> OK, So my script opens another file using "source another.bash" And it works wben i execute it in terminal but when i select "Run" it doesnt?
[19:09] <seidos> mun: you might consider backing up using ubuntu one
[19:09] <mun> thanks

[19:10] <MasterOfDisaster> hi, I'm trying to setup an aiccu 6to4 static tunnel, but I can't ping the remote ipv6 endpoint

[19:10] <scott_tee> hello everyone.  I am having trouble with an external drive I just reformatted using parted
[19:10] <mun> interesting
[19:10] <MasterOfDisaster> I have a NAT environment, the tunnel is set up by one of the machines behind the nat
[19:10] <scott_tee> df -h shows the size as 1.3GB
[19:10] <ssd5> I am installing Ubuntu 9.10 Server on VirtualBox on XP. Right now it is asking me which kernel to install there are 5 in list generic, virtual, image-generic, image-virtual, image-2.6.31-14-generic, image-2.6.31-14-virtulal. may I know what are they and which one should I install?
[19:10] <sebsebseb> mun: I haven't used One myself, well I have had the program open a few times   or so before
[19:11] <sebsebseb> mun: external hard disks are good of course :)
[19:11] <scott_tee> fdisk -l shows 150GB, which is the correct size
[19:11] <sebsebseb> ssd5: hmm with XP as host :(
[19:11] <jigal> can anyone help me with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1343915

[19:27] <guntbert> !es N3OInc
[19:27] <freewillie> !rename
[19:27] <Pici> freewillie: I'm confused why the character is unknown, do you just not know how to type it?
[19:27] <Pici> ronald_: I'm confused as to what you are asking.
[19:27] <N3OInc> Guntbert: Howdy, How goes it.

[19:28] <oCean_> freewillie: have you tried to use tabcompletion on the filename?
[19:28] <guntbert> ActionParsnip: sorry, didn't want to tell you what it is but that is in main and not in *iverse
[19:28] <freewillie> Pici: It is just an e with dubble dots on top of it?
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> guntbert: i know its open source but is it like vlc or firefox (for example) and is just a project to get ONLY Unbuntu booted.
[19:28] <ulb> freewillie:  ulmot?
[19:28] <freewillie> Pici: Sorry for the question mark

[19:29] <freewillie> ulb: What do you mean?
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> stefan_: it doesnt support all the features the adobe flash has
[19:29] <N3OInc> erhos: English is reasonable, However; it is sad we can not teach our native language here in United States correctly.

[19:29] <Ras420> hello, i have been trying and trying to help my mother get her sound working on ubuntu 9.10   we live far away from each other and ive been helping he on im.  Its pretty diffucult .  Ive done 3 or 4 fixes with he but it seems to work for a short period and then revert back to a broken cd sound, any suggestions??
[19:29] <guntbert> ActionParsnip: ok, thx for pointing out
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> guntbert: i think its a really good question. Is it only restricted to Ubuntu?
[19:30] <oCean_> freewillie: have you tried tabcompletion on the filename? Like typing the first character(s) of the file, then hit tab?
[19:30] <Blinkee> Hi, is there any real advantage of installing my X-Fi audio card instead of the on-board reaktek audio device?
[19:30] <ulb> freewillie: try alt+137

[19:31] <azlon> when i traceroute my own ip it times out. localhost and gateway return normally... any ideas?
[19:31] <freewillie> ulb: That is the strange thing about it

[19:31] <azlon> when i say my own ip i mean my WAN ip
[19:32] <ojii> hi everyone, i created a user using 'useradd' and a home dir i set with --home, however if i log in with that user it tells me no directory found and sets HOME=/, how can i fix this? (the directory does exist!)
[19:32] <N3OInc> !Unrelated
[19:32] <Pici> freewillie: you can use tab completion on the terminal to finish typing the filename for something. Just start typing the file, press tab and then the rest of it should show up.  Then you can do something like: mv youroldfilename yournewfilename
[19:32] <grawity> cognitiaclaeves: There should be. I know it's possible to do Unix permissions and such things
[19:32] <ulb> freewillie: try to copy/paste the file name
[19:32] <freewillie> ulb: but my file contains that char, but ubuntu does not recognize it.
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> ojii: sudo mkdir /home/new_user_name_here
[19:32] <ojii> ActionParsnip: the dir exists!

[19:36] <bethrezen> hi there. how to disable scsi emulation for certain IDE drive in karmic?
[19:36] <N3OInc> Alright, Wow. Sorry.
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> ojii: if you log in at the terminal and run: echo $HOME    is the folder name outputted?
[19:36] <epinky> ojii: why don't you use "sudo adduser <username>" instead of useradd?
[19:36] <grawity> cognitiaclaeves: 'man smb.conf' lists a server option "unix extensions" (enabled by default).
[19:36] <grawity> cognitiaclaeves: However, if the server is Windows...
[19:37] <ojii> ActionParsnip: echo $HOME is / which is wrong
[19:37] <ojii> epinky: isn't that the same?
[19:37] <epinky> ojii: nope
[19:37] <ojii> also in my passwd file the home dir is correct
[19:37] <winmisser> anyone runs modern warfare 2 here on ubuntu 9.10? i wanna know if there's any tips improving the performance

[19:38] <ActionParsnip> ;)

[19:38] <vikasap> Hello all, I see that the unionfs module is loaded when I do a modprobe, but the mount -t unionfs gives "bad fs type" ...

[19:38] <rroblak> is there any way to do an "aptitude search" that also shows the package version numbers?
[19:38] <cognitiaclaeves> I don't even need this.  I just need the stupid editor to modify a file!
[19:38] <ojii> epinky: what's the difference?
[19:38] <vikasap> Do I need to install unionfs seperately for ubuntu
[19:39] <grawity> cognitiaclaeves: Which editor is that, anyway?
[19:39] <ojii> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/d79618b4 see the passwd entry and that the dir actually exists!

[19:41] <winmisser> is there any better irc client for linux other than xchat?
[19:41] <darrend> grawity: where from?  I don't see them on the d/l page ..

[19:41] <grawity> winmisser: irssi :)
[19:41] <ojii> :D
[19:41] <grawity> winmisser: Or weechat.
[19:41] <winmisser> irssi, can i get that from synaptics?
[19:41] <ojii> winmisser: yes
[19:41] <darrend> oCean_: thanks :)
[19:41] <winmisser> ok thanks :)
[19:41] <grawity> winmisser: Btw, what's the problem with Xchat?
[19:41] <ojii> winmisser: also xchat is awesome, it's the gnome-xchat which fails
[19:42] <winmisser> xchat gnome that's what i use in fact
[19:42] <Blinkee> Hi, is there any real advantage of installing my X-Fi audio card instead of the on-board realtek audio device?
[19:42] <ojii> winmisser: get the real xchat then
[19:42] <winmisser> simple xchat is better?
[19:42] <Mainstay> winmisser: dunno about better, but kvirc?
[19:42] <winmisser> hmm, ok, i'll do that
[19:42] <ojii> winmisser: i doubt you'd like irssi much
[19:42] <seidos> ojii: I learned to like it, maybe winmisser would
[19:43] <grawity> Eh.
[19:43] <winmisser> i'll give it a try
[19:43] <grawity> Try all of them, then choose which you like most.
[19:43] <preecher> i use xchat--what is irssi and what is kvirc
[19:43] <soopos> I created a new user. I get the error "No protocol specified. firefox: cannot connect X server :0.0" as being the new user. What does it mean?
[19:43] <seidos> I actually thought the freenode webchat client was pretty nice
[19:43] <grawity> preecher: irssi and KVirc are IRC clients, just like Xchat is.
[19:43] <ulb> irssi is awesome command line irc client
[19:43] <preecher> grawity, o ok
[19:43] <grawity> seidos: It's qwebirc, by Quakenet
[19:44] <seidos> only complaint was that it didn't use my firefox color scheme
[19:44] <iceroot> grawity: irssi is not like xchat :-)
[19:44] <ojii> why does ubuntu ignore the home dir I set for a user??
[19:44] <grawity> iceroot: I know, I tried both (and many many others).

[19:44] <cognitiaclaeves> Ok.  Guess I'll switch to nano.  :(

[19:48] <holy> guntbert: no, I has forgot the password for the /sudo <command>/...
[19:48] <ojii> iceroot: adduser or useradd did that, not me
[19:49] <Bookman> grawity: wonderful, thank you.
[19:49] <grawity> holy: "sudo" asks for your own password.
[19:49] <Ben64> holy: sudo password is YOUR password
[19:49] <guntbert> holy: that is your own password
[19:49] <Dr_Willis> holy:  the primary user is the 'admin' user - with full sudo rights. thats not the same as the 'root' user.
[19:49] <alaqsory> guntbert: my ethernet is recognized but I can not enter the internet niether from Firefox nor apt-get and when I enter ifconfig it seems that the driver is recognized but no connection
[19:49] <iceroot> ojii: should look like michael:x:1000:1000:michael,,,:/home/michael:/bin/bash
[19:49] <iceroot> ojii: there is a difference between adduser and useradd
[19:49] <holy> I has forgot my password and I need to reinstall the system again.
[19:49] <ojii> iceroot: which is?
[19:49] <killerblack1> bot
[19:49] <trijntje> holy, why not change the password?
[19:49] <holy> Dr_Willis: I know.
[19:49] <alaqsory> guntbert: excuse me, my english is not good ^_^
[19:49] <iceroot> ojii: one is setting up a systemuser, the other is adding a user to a group
[19:49] <holy> trijntje: How?
[19:49] <grawity> holy: Boot in "recovery mode" to change your own password.
[19:50] <Ryann> Hello, I need help. Recently my hard drive in my laptop has broke. So, I have been thinking of methods to run an operating system witout the use of hard drive. This happened to be the Ubuntu Live CD Jaunty - I think - However, is it possible to save live session setting to a USB flash drive?
[19:50] <iceroot> ojii: man adduser   man useradd
[19:50] <Dr_Willis> holy:  you can chroot in, and change any users passwords you want.
[19:50] <ojii> also iceroot where's the big difference between your passwd file and mine?
[19:50] <holy> grawity: Which command?
[19:50] <wrapster> iceroot: no no.. didnt explain clearly i guess. Im actually writing a script to kill processes... so the user will specify the pid only.. Im checking if that user is the owner of the process hes trying to kill and then proceed further.. on this note could you tell me if given PID and only PID how I can find out the user associated with it.
[19:50] <grawity> holy: reboot -> "Recovery mode" -> "root shell" -> command is "passwd holy" (assuming "holy" is your Ubuntu username)
[19:50] <ojii> iceroot: my user is not supposed to have a home dir in /home/.../, it's for a ftp user
[19:50] <guntbert> alaqsory: please don't just tell me - tell the channel
[19:50] <trijntje> holy, start in recovery mode, then change the password of you account with the passwd command
[19:50] <iceroot> wrapster: id username
[19:50] <holy> grawity: Oh, thanks.
[19:50] <alaqsory> my ethernet is recognized but I can not enter the internet niether from Firefox nor apt-get and when I enter ifconfig it seems that the driver is recognized but no connection
[19:50] <Zer> Say, what do I have to do to get sshd to allow a user to connect? Is there a particular group?
[19:51] <Dr_Willis> Zer:  i just insstall the ssh service. and all my users can ssh in.
[19:51] <iceroot> ojii: but if i am correct, passwd starts with the username
[19:51] <iceroot> ojii: ah i see, your paste was bad
[19:51] <holy> It works!
[19:51] <epinky> alaqsory: very descriptive :)  , it seems to be a DNS problem
[19:51] <Dr_Willis> holy:  amazing :)
[19:51] <holy> after /passwd -d <...>/
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> alaqsory: can you ping your router?
[19:52] <holy> I have set up the new UNIX password in usual terminal...
[19:52] <ojii> iceroot: witschi-law:x:1002:1000:,,,:/var/www/vhosts/witschi-law.ch/httpdocs/sites/witschi-law.ch/:/bin/bash
[19:52] <alaqsory> epinky: nop it is not, becausein live cd and windows the ethernet is good and using the same dns
[19:52] <Ben64> how can I do this properly? sudo echo "blah" > /root/testfile
[19:52] <holy> Which good ICQ client can you advise?
[19:52] <iceroot> ojii: yes, i see
[19:52] <Zer> Hmm. I installed it, and it gives me "Auth User/Pass with PS...fail...Please reconnect!"
[19:52] <alaqsory> ActionParsnip: no i can not
[19:52] <iceroot> ojii: my problem was the /etc/...
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> holy: pidgin does icq
[19:52] <ojii> ah
[19:52] <solexious> I'm confused as to what dc image to download, I want an image that will support 4gigs of ram and an intel prosessor
[19:52] <grawity> Zer: What SSH client are you using?
[19:53] <alaqsory> If you take alook on the pics you will know more about my problem
[19:53] <alaqsory> http://img163.imageshack.us/g/screenshot1zg.png/
[19:53] <vikasap> Anyone here has used unionfs on ubuntu ?
[19:53] <trijntje> solexious, amd64, the name stupid ;)
[19:53] <epinky> alaqsory: can you ping loopback?
[19:53] <holy> ActionParsnip: Yeah, but I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and have to update to be able to use ICQ...
[19:53] <Dr_Willis> Ben64:  see ---> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/
[19:53] <Zer> I tried using OpenSSH Client. I've also used PuTTY, but I can't see what error it gives after I try to log in because it closes the window
[19:53] <iceroot> ojii: hm i dont see the error but why needing /bin/bash for ftpuser?
[19:53] <Ryann> Anyone? - Hello, I need help. Recently my hard drive in my laptop has broke. So, I have been thinking of methods to run an operating system witout the use of hard drive. This happened to be the Ubuntu Live CD Jaunty - I think - However, is it possible to save live session setting to a USB flash drive?
[19:53] <grawity> holy: http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/
[19:53] <grawity> holy: Read that.
[19:53] <iceroot> ojii: then he can use ssh and sftp also
[19:53] <alaqsory> epinky: I did not try
[19:53] <ojii> iceberg: i just used adduser... so i think it did that automatically
[19:54] <holy> grawity: thanks
[19:54] <solexious> trijntje: the amd bit made me think it wasnt for intel cpu's
[19:54] <iceroot> ojii: correct
[19:54] <oCean_> Ben64: here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo are hints on using sudo
[19:54] <ulb> Ryann: use isb flash drive or live cd
[19:54] <ojii> also iceberg i like to be able to ssh into my server using a normal user other than root
[19:54] <Dr_Willis> Ryann:  you can make a bootable usb with a persistant 'save' file. if you wanted.. or actually do an install to a usb flash drive.
[19:54] <ulb> *usb
[19:54] <iceroot> ojii: ok
[19:54] <Ben64> Dr_Willis: thanks
[19:54] <Dr_Willis> Ryann:  that eliminates teh need for a cd also. :)
[19:54] <Zer> Ah, it's the same error in PuTTY.
[19:54] <trijntje> solexious, yeah, I think thats some legacy, but that image is also for intel processors
[19:54] <Ryann> Dr_Willis: But, will it fit into 1gb? :/
[19:54] <solexious> trijntje: thanks
[19:54] <Zer> "Auth User/Pass with PS...fail...Please reconnect!."
[19:54] <ojii> iceberg: if i change the passwd file do i have to do anything to take effect?
[19:54] <iceroot> ojii: use iceroot
[19:55] <ojii> argh
[19:55] <ojii> iceroot: tab completion fails me
[19:55] <Dr_Willis> Ryann:  1gb? hmm. not sure. Proberly can.  But egads.. ive seen 4GB flash drives on sale for $10  or less these days
[19:55] <iceroot> ojii: no but dont edit the passwd directly
[19:55] <iceroot> ojii: there was a command for editing passwd
[19:55] <Dr_Willis> Ryann:  4gb at least gives you some room to actually do stuff. :)
[19:55] <ulb> Ryann: puppy or damn small linux
[19:55] <pirasa> hi,all i am a new ubuntu user
[19:55] <ojii> iceroot: i just noticed that your homedir doesn't have a trailing slash, mine does...
[19:55] <Dr_Willis> Ryann:  tiny core linux = 10mb iso file. :)
[19:55] <Ben64> usb flash drives are way too slow for an OS
[19:55] <trijntje> !hi pirasa
[19:55] <Dr_Willis> Ben64:  faster then a cdrom/live cd i find.
[19:56] <grawity> ojii: Trailing slash is not important.
[19:56] <iceroot> ojii: ah yes, you are right
[19:56] <trijntje> !hi | pirasa
[19:56] <Zer> Any idea what would cause "Auth User/Pass with PS...fail...Please reconnect!." from sshd? I know the login name and password to be correct. I just installed sshd from Synaptic
[19:56] <pirasa> i have been using gnome
[19:56] <pirasa> but i want to try
[19:56] <iceroot> ojii: getent passwd  look if all of your starts with /
[19:56] <pirasa> kde
[19:56] <Ben64> Dr_Willis: well it seems someone wants to boot and use it like it was installed, which would be bad on usb
[19:56] <iceroot> pirasa: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[19:56] <Ryann> Dr_Willis: Does it work as good as Jaunty?
[19:56] <Dr_Willis> pirasa:  install kubuntu-desktop package. select kde from the gdm login screen
[19:56] <trijntje> !enter | pirasa
[19:56] <Dr_Willis> Ryann:  tinycore linux is specilized for being as small as possible. its not as full featured as ubuntu. Thats not its 'goal'
[19:56] <pirasa> ok thank you
[19:56] <dual> I have to much work to do, too many things I have to remember. Is there a good program/website that lets me have all this in one place?
[19:57] <iceroot> ojii: ah, your home is /
[19:57] <pirasa> and how can i uninstall after using it ?
[19:57] <ojii> iceroot: but i don't want it to be /!
[19:57] <erUSUL> !puregnome
[19:57] <Dr_Willis> dual:  you could check out 'tiddlywiki' and use it to take notes. :)
[19:57] <iceroot> ojii: my eyes are bad on that pastebin color
[19:57] <Ryann> Dr_Willis: Okay, but it has basic applications; MSN, Firefox etc?
[19:57] <dual> Dr_Willis, thanks
[19:57] <iceroot> ojii: of course you dont want it :)
[19:57] <Dr_Willis> Ryann:  for 10mb..  what do you expect? :) firefox is another 10+mb download i imagine...
[19:57] <erUSUL> dual: tomboy ?
[19:57] <iceroot> ojii: remove the / and test again
[19:57] <ojii> iceroot: from where?
[19:58] <Dr_Willis> Ryann:  its a minimal desktop that lets you ionsstall stuff you need from the net. thats how its designed to work.
[19:58] <timothy__> Zer -> are you trying to login as root?  It might be that root login has been disabled in /etc/sshd/sshd_config (find a line permitrootlogin)
[19:58] <Zer> No
[19:58] <Zer> I am trying to log on as a user with sudo privilege (Ubuntu), but that's it
[19:58] <timothy__> sshd server is running at the other site?
[19:58] <Ryann> Dr_Willis: Okay. Would you be able to explain how I can install my wireless drivers to my USB flash drive?
[19:58] <Dr_Willis> Ryann:  i got grub2 setup to boot my TinyCoreLinux.iso file from the hard drive as a 'emergancy' system.
[19:58] <iceroot> ojii: hm, can the user you created access /var/www?
[19:58] <shkiper_> sorry that i ask not in English but.... Ребят, русско-говорящие есть?
[19:58] <alaqsory> epinky: did you set the problem
[19:58] <Dr_Willis> Ryann:  i dont use wireless much. and ive never used a wireless usb gizmo.
[19:58] <trijntje> !ru
[19:58] <grawity> shkiper_: #ubuntu-ru
[19:59] <iceroot> ojii: if not, home is set to /
[19:59] <ojii> iceroot: I did chown -R user-i-created /home/dir/of/user/
[19:59] <icyj> Ryann: Why not get a replacement hard drive?  They are faily cheap
[19:59] <grawity> Zer: Maybe run "sudo tail -fn 0 /var/log/auth.log /var/log/syslog" on the server? Then attempt to ssh, and watch for log entries.
[19:59] <Dr_Willis> Ryann:  wireless drivers for tiny corelinux add another 10+mb to the size. :P
[19:59] <epinky> alaqsory: loopback got response? then ping your address, just to check
[19:59] <iceroot> ojii: hm, ok
[19:59] <shkiper_> grawity, thanks a lot
[19:59] <Ryann> icyj: It's Christmas, so I don't got money at the moment - nor a job.
[19:59] <Dr_Willis> well bbl.
[19:59] <ojii> iceroot: that is the correct way to do that right?
[19:59] <Alan502> !grub
[20:00] <iceroot> ojii: i dont know, never changed the path of a home-dir
[20:00] <alaqsory> epinky: how can I loopback
[20:00] <iceroot> ojii: but if it is the normal way it should work
[20:00] <ojii> iceroot: i mean of setting ownership/access rights
[20:00] <juro> hi, I am running 9.10 64bit and have a problem with Flash 10 in Firefox 3.5 - it flickers and I cannot click on anything
[20:00] <icyj> Ryann: I hear ya
[20:00] <Zer> Hmm grawith, no output
[20:00] <iceroot> ojii: chown -R user:group directory
[20:00] <Ryann> Does anyone know how I can install my wireless drivers to a USB for use with a CD Live session of Ubuntu?
[20:00] <epinky> alaqsory: "ping <IP_ADDRESS>" then "ping <IP_ADDRESS>"
[20:00] <ojii> iceroot: do i need the group?
[20:00] <ojii> not sure what group my user has
[20:00] <iceroot> ojii: maybe the user is not part of the group which sould be root
[20:00] <iceroot> ojii: id user
[20:00] <N3OInc> Peace ya'll... Gottz ta get skooled
[20:00] <alaqsory> epinky: ok i will log in ubuntu and come again
[20:00] <iceroot> ojii: tells you the group also
[20:01] <timClicks> any recommended epub readers in ubuntu repos?
[20:01] <Ryann> icyj: You know were I can find a bunch of wireless driver installers for Jaunty?
[20:01] <iceroot> ojii: with ubuntu the groupname is like the username if i am correct
[20:01] <iceroot> ojii: yes, it is
[20:02] <Zer> Ohhh wait a minute.
[20:02] <ojii> iceroot: yes it is, i did chown -R user:groupname /dir/ now but still doesn't want to login correctly
[20:02] <Zer> Oops. I was telnetting into my IPMI BMC's SSH. Doh
[20:02] <Zer> Forgot there were two IPs. Nevermind all
[20:02] <Zer> er SSHing into
[20:03] <iceroot> ojii: hm
[20:03] <grawity> Zer: Well that would explain the really strange "authentication failed" message.
[20:03] <iceroot> ojii: ah, found it
[20:03] <iceroot> ojii: remove the last / from the userpath
[20:03] <ojii> iceroot: ?
[20:03] <ojii> iceroot: where?
[20:04] <iceroot> ojii: witschi-law:x:1002:1000:,,,:/var/www/vhosts/witschi-law.ch/httpdocs/sites/witschi-law.ch/  this
[20:04] <Zer> Yeah no kidding. I was puzzled as to why it wouldn't log anything
[20:04] <iceroot> ojii: the last one
[20:04] <vaiofw> hi
[20:04] <Chesnut> Hello.

[20:05] <maginot> good afternoon, to update my gtk+ to version 2.10 > what I must install with apt-get ?
[20:05] <bakarat> ok, noob question, but where did the "shutdown" and "reboot" buttons go in the kde menu?
[20:05] <maginot> thank
[20:05] <erUSUL> woodyjlw: do not use the rpm
[20:05] <ojii> iceroot: witschi-law:x:1002:1000:,,,:/var/www/vhosts/witschi-law.ch/httpdocs/sites/witschi-law.ch:/bin/bash
[20:05] <woodyjlw> ok
[20:05] <erUSUL> bakarat: ask in #kubuntu ?
[20:06] <iceroot> ojii: what was the command to create the user?
[20:06] <erUSUL> woodyjlw: if you need the compiler etc. install sun-java6-jdk
[20:06] <ojii> iceroot: adduser --home /var/www/vhosts/witschi-law.ch/httpdocs/sites/witschi-law.ch/ witschi-law
[20:06] <woodyjlw> ok
[20:06] <woodyjlw> thanks
[20:08] <iceroot> ojii: if i create a user the uid and the guid are the same, you have different values 1002 and 1000
[20:08] <intos> Hi
[20:08] <MyGame> Hi
[20:08] <intos> How can I set that ubuntu only uses ipv4
[20:08] <iceroot> ojii: i have created a user with sudo adduser test  and he has test:x:1001:1001:,,,:/home/test:/bin/bash
[20:08] <dragon> !info whereami
[20:08] <ScoobyDoo> You know if you run a script that needs privileges, it pops up asking for your password? how can i make my script do that?
[20:08] <ojii> iceroot: if i do id witschi-law: uid=1002(witschi-law) gid=1000(witschi-law) groups=1000(witschi-law)
[20:08] <woodyjlw> java is on but still cant view a file I need from web
[20:09] <iceroot> ojii: hm
[20:09] <epinky> ojii: just use "sudo adduser witschi-law"<enter> and it will guide trough the process
[20:09] <ojii> epinky: but i can't do that when he already exists right?
[20:09] <iceroot> epinky: he wants another home
[20:09] <Guisepe> #ubuntu-es
[20:09] <ojii> epinky: the whole point is basically to add a user for proftpd, so i don't want /home/<username>/
[20:10] <holy> How can I create a DVD for some old DVD player? Can I make it with programs from the ubuntustudio-video suit?
[20:10] <BeNdAbLe> Hi guys.  Does anyone know how to tell gdm to disable the reboot/shutdown/restart buttons, or at the least, require authentication before rebooting/shutting down/restarting?  I tried setting the GConf variable /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_restart_buttons to true, but it didn't have any effect.  There is still a power button the lower-right corner that pops up a menu with reboot/shutdown.
[20:10] <winmisser> anyone here uses wine 1.1.33?
[20:11] <iceroot> winmisser: #winehq
[20:11] <ojii> winmisser: join #winehq for wine related questions
[20:11] <winmisser> thanks
[20:11] <iceroot> !anyone | winmisser
[20:11] <ibuclaw> ojii, you want to move home for the user witschi-law ?
[20:11] <ojii> ibuclaw: yes
[20:11] <ojii> ibuclaw: or rather create the user with a atypical home dir
[20:11] <winmisser> i did ask before, ubottu, but got no reply
[20:11] <iceroot> winmisser: he is a bot
[20:11] <ibuclaw> ojii, sudo usermod -m -d /path/to/new/home witschi-law
[20:11] <h4writer> hmm, I tried "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so" and changed to ubuntu, but still have kubuntu splash screen on startup :S
[20:11] <winmisser> oh.. lol
[20:11] <tixlegeek> hi
[20:12] <ojii> ibuclaw: the user already has the dir set when i created him!
[20:12] <iceroot> ibuclaw: but the userdir is only stored at /etc/passwd isnt it?
[20:12] <tixlegeek> can everyone help me to configure wpa in console ?
[20:12] <ojii> ibuclaw: i did: adduser --home /paath/to/home/dir witschi-law
[20:12] <epinky> ojii:with adduser you can define where you want your home directory, but you'll have to delete with userdel before and then recreate
[20:12] <ojii> epinky: i did!
[20:12] <stefan_> I try to install something and error window shows up saying exclusive lock now is being used by apt-get, maybe it is running somehow in background, how should i end it?
[20:13] <Hick0rd> I have ubuntu 9.10 and kde installed on the same machine I have installed the mono develop ide, I compiled it from the source and it runs great on gnome, but when I run it from kde, it doesn't work properly. and it wouldn't (make run) under kde... which worked normally under gnome.
[20:13] <Alan502> i
[20:13] <epinky> ojii: then type  "sudo adduser witschi-law"<enter>
[20:13] <Hick0rd> Is there any (obvious) reason why this happens? It is not critical but I am curious to know if there is a why to make this work.
[20:13] <ibuclaw> ojii, wait ... so what is the issue?
[20:13] <ojii> epinky: adduser --home /var/www/vhosts/witschi-law.ch/httpdocs/sites/witschi-law.ch/ witschi-law
[20:13] <ojii> that's what i did
[20:13] <ojii> ibuclaw: when I log in it says 'No Directory' and it changes the home dir to /
[20:13] <phantomcircuit>     9 root      15  -5     0    0    0 S   13  0.0   3:01.98 events/0
[20:13] <phantomcircuit> wtf is that?
