[08:06] <sebsebseb> mariya: delete the Gome programs and  .folders in home for Gnome, and then re install and it may work.  Can't do that whilst Gnome is running in your install though,  so would have to use another desktop environment such as KDE if that will work without the same problem,  or  a Live CD.  Or recovery mode.  Probably easier and better to clean install.
[08:06] <SwedeMike> purvesh: I just scaled an image to 192x192 pixels in gimp.
[08:06] <celeritas> Sereph, take a look at your /etc/group and make sure you are a member of the audio group
[08:06] <Sereph> celeritas: how would that make a difference if i use sudo
[08:06] <purvesh> bazhang, i had used gThumb and Gwenview
[08:07] <mariya> sebsebseb, omg, are you crazy !?! I do not want to break my system? have you ever tried something like this?
[08:07] <purvesh> SwedeMike, k .... but what is the Procedure can u tell me .....!
[08:07] <SwedeMike> purvesh: imagemagick can do it from the command line.
[08:07] <celeritas> Sereph, did sudo give you the same error? snd_ctl_open failed?
[08:07] <sebsebseb> mariya: uh your system is already broken by the sounds of it
[08:07] <sebsebseb> mariya: and yes if I remember correctly I have tried something like this in the past myself
[08:08] <SwedeMike> purvesh: you go to image->scale image, then you enter the amount of pixels you want there, and press scale (undo the "chain" if you dont want to keep aspect ratio)
[08:08] <purvesh> SwedeMike, so for installing imagemagick i have to type any cmd..
[08:09] <sebsebseb> mariya: or I got another idea
[08:09] <Sereph> celeritas: yes...
[08:09] <sebsebseb> mariya: make a new user in recovery mode or   something, and try and log in to that
[08:09] <FullFlannelJacke> Trying to open Openoffice Word and am getting an error that "/home/username/%F does not exist."  Is this some problem with Gconf?  how do i fix it?
[08:09] <Sprunge> Ok, time to reboot. Here goes nothing....
[08:09] <celeritas> try sudo chmod 666 /dev/snd
[08:09] <cjae> does anyone else notice adobe flash is quite mem and cpu intensive in ff as of 10.04?
[08:09] <Sereph> celeritas: dont have a /dev/snd
[08:10] <SwedeMike> cjae: it's always mem and cpu intensive.
[08:10] <aditsu_> kiamo: I installed the restricted extras; still no adobe flash
[08:10] <owenll> purvesh: sudo apt-get install imagemagick
[08:10] <cjae> SwedeMike: is there a good replacement yet?
[08:10] <cjae> gnash
[08:10] <SwedeMike> cjae: not that I know of, last I tried gnash it didn't work well.
[08:11] <purvesh> SwedeMike, Hey Thanx for that Chain.. lol .. Finally done .
[08:13] <SwedeMike> purvesh: just a tip for you, you really should work on your "asking questions" skill, if it was the aspect ratio you didn't succeed in not keeping, saying so would have cut this conversation down by a lot.
[08:13] <cjae> SwedeMike: I am running an old p4 machine with a 1gb of ram, and since 10.04 I can barely watch youtube and download ubuntu at same time
[08:13] <SwedeMike> purvesh: saying "it won't resize to 192x192 but instead I can only choose one figure and it calculates the other" would also have worked.
[08:13] <cjae> via torrent
[08:13] <cjae> using kde though
[08:14] <cjae> :(
[08:15] <purvesh> SwedeMike, see m bit noob may be .... but every one Starts from there so shortly i ll reach at some level
[08:15] <atroy1994> Hello everybody..  for installing ubuntu, ineed atleast 256 mb ram, but i hav only 246. so, i want to do swapping. how will i do?
[08:16] <jacob_> SwedeMike, how do I get rid of the numbering on the far left?
[08:16] <jacob_> Not the track numbering, but the # for each song..
[08:16] <jacob_> I don't want that there
[08:16] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: ok yeah swap
[08:17] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: have you tried desktop cd on there?
[08:17] <martez89> hey all, how can I backup my home folder from a 10.04 live cd  to an external hdd?
[08:17] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: for Ubuntu
[08:17] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: which one u call the dekstop cd?
[08:18] <SwedeMike> jacob_: I have absolutely no idea. read the manual?
[08:18] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: are you sure you have a bit under the amount of RAM it says you should have?
[08:18] <jellow> martez89: mount the external hd , and move the files from $HOME to the hd ?
[08:18] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: the Desktop Live CD
[08:18] <martez89> jellow: ive tried that, but i need permissions
[08:19] <atroy1994> atroy1994: yes, iam sure about ram.
[08:19] <celeritas> Sereph, does lspci show your card?
[08:19] <martez89> but i don't know the right sudo commands for that
[08:19] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: ok messaged yourself
[08:19] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: i hav the liv cd
[08:19] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: have you downloaded an Ubuntu ISO yet? no?
[08:19] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: ok have you treid booting the Live CD?
[08:19] <Sereph> celeritas: its an oss problem apparantly, i tried oss and it blacklisted alsa
[08:19] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: oh, sorry.  that was a mistake :-)
[08:20] <atroy1994> what is ubuntu ISO? i hav just ordered the ubuntu10.04 cd and got it
[08:20] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: ok
[08:20] <jellow> martez89: you need to use chmod -R 777 "Director You want Permission on"
[08:21] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: ISO is  what you download when you make your own,  the contents of a CD in a file, then burn contents to CD,  (ideally check its a good download ISO first as well)
[08:21] <celeritas> Sereph, have you tried running the snddevices script
[08:21] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: have you tried to boot from the CD  you ordered?
[08:21] <Sereph> celeritas: nope
[08:21] <jellow> martez89: sudo chmod -R 777 "Some dir"
[08:21] <atroy1994> How ill i boot fom cd? sebsebseb
[08:22] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: you were asking about RAM,  so  I thought that maybe you had tried from the CD,  and  things  were really slow to boot up or somethign
[08:22] <Jordan_U> atroy1994: Usually you just reboot with the CD in your CDROM drive.
[08:22] <martez89> jellow: ill try that
[08:23] <celeritas> Sereph, the script builds the device list in /dev/snd. its inside alsa-drivers
[08:23] <atroy1994> do u mean, just starting computer, inserting cd, and again restarting?
[08:23] <jellow> martez89: You can get to irc from the live cd so ask for help as you're doing it
[08:23] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: yes
[08:23] <Haagimus> ping
[08:23] <martez89> jellow: i'm on another laptop currently
[08:23] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: might have to go into bios  and make it boot from CD first though.
[08:24] <ZonkieNut> atroy1994: if "boot from cd" is enabled in bios
[08:24] <Sprunge> Jordan_U: Hey thanks for all the help. Everything seems to be exactly as it should now. I'm on Win7 right now as a matter of fact. :-)
[08:24] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: the next time i restart what will happen?
[08:24] <anodesni> I cant install ubuntu. I have 80gb space between windows and archlinux partitions left, however, the arch partitions are not an extended partition and I cant make one in the 80gb space. Can I convert the arch partitions into an extended partition??
[08:24] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: lets go back to that
[08:24] <sebsebseb> anodesni: why were you asking about RAM?
[08:24] <Jordan_U> Sprunge: You're welcome.
[08:24] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: what is bios?
[08:25] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: i think its not enabled.....how will i check it?
[08:25] <rww> anodesni: no
[08:25] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: You know what RAM and SWAP is, but not a BIOS hrm
[08:25] <anodesni> rww, maybe displace partitions?
[08:26] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: if the CD boots, it will let you try Ubuntu from CD, and even let you install it,  but  have any data backed up and such first
[08:26] <martez89> jellow: it says no such file or directory
[08:26] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: the CD boots up into RAM
[08:26] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: if you do not have enough RAM, things will be really slow, or not work properly at all
[08:27] <martez89> I use this command: sudo chmod -r 777 media/blabla/home/bart
[08:27] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: when i restart the pc, no change is there.   ?
[08:27] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: with the CD in the drive?
[08:27] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: yes
[08:27] <sebsebseb> atroy1994:  desktop or lap top?
[08:27] <jungli> kaushal chutiya
[08:28] <jellow> martez89: can you run "mount" from terminal and paste the results?
[08:28] <atroy1994> dekstop
[08:28] <bazhang> jungli, english here
[08:28] <MyWay> hello, after i upgraded my acer 5520 to kernel 2.6.32-22 (using lucid x64) i don't have audio anymore, somebody can help?
[08:28] <martez89> jellow: pasting the results will be kinda hard because im working on 2 laptops
[08:29] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: ok you will have to change the boot order in the BIOS, make CD the first boot device or it won't load
[08:29] <martez89> but can you tell me where to look?
[08:29] <ac1dburnz> MyWay,  what sound driver you have ?  desktop or laptop ?
[08:29] <MyWay> laptop, acer 5520, how to check what driver it is?
[08:29] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: how will i check whether "boot from cd" is enabled or not
[08:29] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: or maybe you should actsually try Ubuntu using Wubi to begin with
[08:30] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: except the requrements for Wubi is 256MB RAM, and apparantly you have a bit under
[08:30] <ac1dburnz> MyWay, use this command on terminal lspci, see if youre driver recognized
[08:30] <MyWay> Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP67 High Definition Audio (rev a1
[08:30] <jellow> martez89: Sounds like there is a problem with your path to the external hd, You sure you have the riigth path?
[08:30] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: by going into your computers BIOS, it will say how to do that when it loads up,  then be careful in there,  only change the boot order, nothing else, and save it, and the BIOS will tell you how to change stuff in it
[08:30] <ac1dburnz> MyWay,  please use lspci on terminal, and send me the report
[08:31] <MyWay> ok
[08:31] <ac1dburnz> pastebin
[08:31] <jellow> martez89: usually /media/somefolder ?
[08:31] <MyWay> ac1dburnz: http://pastebin.org/308275
[08:31] <wo_os> !! is it proper to pronounce XFCE as "X-force"?
[08:31] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: how will i change the boot order?
[08:31] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: that depends on your BIOS, we don't all have the same BIOS
[08:32] <martez89> jellow: i copied the path from the mounted hard drive
[08:32] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: from where bios will open?
[08:32] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: maybe you should find out what a BIOS is by  doing a Google search or maybe asking in ##hardware before going in there
[08:32] <well_laid_lawn> wo_os: it is just x f c e
[08:32] <User303> OMG

[08:32] <ac1dburnz> MyWay,  youre driver seems to be fine,  try  check the sound if its muted or not
[08:32] <ac1dburnz> MyWay,  run alsamixer on terminal
[08:32] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: i did the search
[08:32] <MyWay> ok

[08:34] <ac1dburnz> MyWay,  hmm nhold on a sec
[08:34] <Jordan_U> atroy1994: When you boot there should be a message saying something like "Press F8 for a boot menu" (it may go by fairly quickly). Press whatever button it says to press to get a boot menu and choose to boot from the CDROM drive.

[08:42] <celeritas> MyWay, add your user to the audio group and try running alsamixer
[08:42] <jellow> jamil_1: Does it say any more errors when you launch from terminal?
[08:42] <alpha_> sometimes I cannot boot ubuntu and get Gentoo up. It is stuck with an emergency shell because the date & time seems off, so I'll have to run fsck in these cases (and this fixes the problem). I have a laptop. What is the problem?
[08:43] <BPower> Hey, how would I mount an additional .disk file (ext4) to my Lucid machine so I can access the files?

[08:43] <jamil_1> jellow: nothing is printed in terminal
[08:43] <MyWay> celeritas: i've added it to the audio group, but i'm still getting no such file directory, should i reboot before?

[08:57] <piyushmishra> ac1dburnz: I have that checked already but I was starting rotate cube
[08:57] <mvk> i messed up my apache config files in /etc/apache2, then after trying to reinstall it...
[08:57] <piyushmishra> ac1dburnz: it says some conflicts with viewreport 8

[08:57] <BPower> Hey I'm trying to mount a virtual disk, but it's not working.  My command is $ sudo mount -o loop /home/myuser/Temp/root.disk /wubiD
[08:58] <BPower> And i get this error: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[08:58] <ac1dburnz> piyushmishra,  click on Desktop Size tab
[08:58] <piyushmishra> ac1dburnz: done
[08:58] <ac1dburnz> piyushmishra,  change the Horizontal Virtual size to 4
[08:58] <jellow> loopool: you're probally better asking #winehq, Did the /cdrom aswell as Win7 come back as corrupt?
[08:59] <ac1dburnz> piyushmishra, and leave other to 1
[08:59] <piyushmishra> ac1dburnz: how much can it handle I have core2 duo n 3 gig ram
[08:59] <vectorman1> why do I keep getting a "nick in use" error? i'm registered..
[08:59] <piyushmishra> ac1dburnz: vertical is 2 should I set it to 1?
[08:59] <loopool> jellow, i will do. and no, it didn't even respond
[08:59] <ac1dburnz> piyushmishra, yes set other to 1
[08:59] <piyushmishra> ac1dburnz: ok :)
[09:00] <Flannel> vectorman1: You seem to have a few nicks on.  You can ghost the others to knock them offline so you can have your nick one (you have four on right now?)  /msg nickserv help ghost
[09:00] <piyushmishra> ac1dburnz: now?
[09:00] <ac1dburnz> piyushmishra,  did you check Rotate Cube
[09:00] <piyushmishra> ac1dburnz: still says resolve conflicts
[09:01] <MikeChelen> the nvidia driver seems to be working fine with my geforce mx 4000, except that the max resolution in nvidia x server settings is 800x600 (well below card & monitor max)
[09:01] <jellow> loopool: look at winecfg , mess around with those setting sometimes helps
[09:01] <piyushmishra> ac1dburnz: I think its having problems with the view report switcher
[09:01] <piyushmishra> ac1dburnz: The new value for the key binding for the action Rotate To Face 8 in plugin Rotate Cube conflicts with the action Switch to Viewport 8 of the Viewport Switcher plugin.
[09:01] <piyushmishra> Do you wish to disable Switch to Viewport 8 in the Viewport Switcher plugin?
[09:02] <ac1dburnz> piyushmishra,  disable Viewport Switcher
[09:02] <piyushmishra> ac1dburnz: done :)

[09:04] <bazhang> pepper_haze, you 'd be better served checking the blueprint/roadmap online
[09:04] <piyushmishra> ac1dburnz: now how many workspaces can it handle on my config?
[09:05] <TommyH> how do i switch to the root user on Ubuntu, i keep getting "authentication failed", i tried every possible password i installed the system with (i just installed it 5 minutes ago), but none of it works

[09:10] <bazhang> uzver, no
[09:10] <ac1dburnz> piyushmishra,  lol
[09:10] <piyushmishra> ac1dburnz: :(
[09:11] <TommyH> Is there a way to change the Grub bootloader to always automatically boot into Ubuntu (i have a multi-os with Windows 7)
[09:11] <bazhang> piyushmishra, you have tried in #compiz , correct?
[09:11] <Damascene> ops, it's not open source. is there any alternative to wink?
[09:11] <piyushmishra> bazhang : no lol is there a channel for that!!!
[09:11] <ac1dburnz> piyushmishra, yes there is /join #compiz
[09:11] <bazhang> piyushmishra, sure, /join #compiz
[09:12] <xxg> 没人说中文

[09:13] <Jordan_U> !grub2 | TommyH (see the part about GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT)
[09:13] <piyushmishra> the zoom is cool :P
[09:14] <jacekowski> hi
[09:15] <Jordan_U> TommyH: Though it should auto boot into windows after a timeout by default, if it isn't then that's a different problem.
[09:15] <christopher> testing
[09:15] <jacekowski> what was name of that app that could create a core dump without killing application?
[09:17] <mariya> how to reinstall all installed packages?
[09:17] <Pirate_Hunter> I need a simple if not basic spreadsheet app that works in cli, I need to just note a few elements and wont be doing any extensive calculations can anyone tell me the name of such app?
[09:18] <well_laid_lawn> jacekowski: strace?
[09:18] <foxmulder> mariya: Reinstall from scratch.
[09:18] <well_laid_lawn> !clone | mariya
[09:19] <foxiness> hi how can i know what kind of kernel i installed on my server 32 or 64 ? " arch : is this for my CPU , uname -a that what i know for now"
[09:19] <foxmulder> mariya: Why exactly do you want to reinstall all packages?
[09:19] <foxmulder> foxiness: That's it "uname -a"
[09:20] <jacekowski> Linux jacekowski.org <IP_ADDRESS>-xxxx-grs-ipv4-64 #1 SMP Tue Dec 29 14:41:12 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[09:20] <rww> foxmulder: run "uname -a" in a terminal. If you see "i686" near the end, it's 32-bit. If you see "x86_64", it's 64-bit
[09:20] <rww> foxiness: run "uname -a" in a terminal. If you see "i686" near the end, it's 32-bit. If you see "x86_64", it's 64-bit
[09:20] <rww> foxmulder: sorry, mistab
[09:20] <rww> soo many foxes :(
[09:20] <foxmulder> rww: It's all good!
[09:20] <foxmulder> lol
[09:20] <C-Otto> hi there
[09:20] <C-Otto> oh, this is a large channel
[09:21] <ac1dburnz> k
[09:21] <foxmulder> C-Otto: And a busy channel at that.
[09:21] <jacekowski> well_laid_lawn: no
[09:21] <well_laid_lawn> k
[09:21] <jacekowski> well_laid_lawn: strace can only trace system calls
[09:21] <C-Otto> I'm administrating one of the mirrors for ubuntu and wonder about the traffic. Is it correct that users first need to update their sources.list manually or download a new release where our mirror is selectable in the installer?
[09:22] <foxiness> foxmulder,rww  thanks :D
[09:22] <foxmulder> foxiness: No worries.
[09:22] <C-Otto> stated differently: what do you as an ubuntu user need to do to use a new mirror?
[09:23] <sravanje>   how can i execute java servlets and jsp programs in ubuntu using apache-tomcat server manager
[09:23] <C-Otto> with opensuse, mozilla, vlc, eclipse the answer is: nothing :)
[09:23] <gkasinath> hello everyone!
[09:24] <Circs> Could updates be handled by bitorrent in the future to reduce server load?
[09:24] <arand> C-Otto: Edit sources.list, or if you are an official mirror go to souftware sources and choose the mirror from the extended list there..
[09:24] <gkasinath> question - DVICO Fusion HDTV on 10.04 me-tv no tuner error. How to solve?
[09:24] <C-Otto> Circs: maybe try a different server? what about http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de :)
[09:24] <foxmulder> Circs: No.
[09:24] <inzi1985> installed ubuntu 9.10
[09:24] <C-Otto> arand: okay, thanks - I guess there's not much need to do these steps as long as everything works
[09:24] <Circs> C-Otto, I'm not having problems it was more of a technical question to further my understanding
[09:25] <inzi1985> hopefully this doesn't overheat too
[09:25] <Circs> foxmulder, Why not?
[09:25] <neuralsim> anyone want a free psychic reading? i'm in a rare mood
[09:25] <bazhang> neuralsim, wrong channel
[09:25] <arand> Circs: yes, there are already, but not heavily in use though
[09:25] <C-Otto> Circs: ubuntu CD releases are spread using bittorrent, I remember uploading with close to 2 GBit/sec using bittorrent a while ago
[09:25] <zer0t0xic> inzi1985, its not the operating system if youre laptop is overheated, sometimes its caused of the fail HDD
[09:25] <inzi1985> anyone here haveing problems with ubuntu overheating ur laptop
[09:25] <foxmulder> Circs: Because it's not what torrents are for. And that would require implenting a torrent client/server model into the update manager would isn't really the "correct" thing to do.
[09:25] <thune3> jacekowski: gcore maybe
[09:26] <Circs> arand, Anything for me to be able to find more info as to educate myself?
[09:26] <rww> Circs: There are various projects that tried to implement bittorrent in apt. None of them really took off :\
[09:26] <foxmulder> Circs: As mentioned, try a different server.
[09:26] <inzi1985> zer0t0xic windows runs super cool on mine.. and its not the hdd thats heating up, its the left side... my hdd is on the right
[09:26] <rww> Circs: "apt-torrent" would be one example. There's another that I forget the name of.
[09:27] <Circs> foxmulder, Not having any problems on my end I'm just trying to learn and my google-fu was too weak to provide me with much info.
[09:27] <Circs> rww, Thanks
[09:27] <zer0t0xic> inzi1985, try updating youre BIOS
[09:27] <HaakonKL> inzi1985: I had those problems wiht my laptop.
[09:27] <ter10> hjklhlh
[09:27] <ter10> check
[09:27] <inzi1985> HaakonKL : how did u solve?
[09:27] <HaakonKL> inzi1985: Basically, my problem was dust in the machine itself.
[09:27] <arand> !info apt-transport-debtorrent | Circs look at this for example
[09:27] <inzi1985> zer0t0xic, i cant seem to find the updated bios for my compaq 610
[09:28] <ter10> check server
[09:28] <Circs> arand, Ty :)
[09:28] <HaakonKL> inzi1985: Thus, I had to blow some compressed air over it. If you know what you're doing, you might want to open up the machine and see for yourself, but this is overkill and should not be done unless you know what you're doing.
[09:28] <C-Otto> ok, thanks, bye
[09:28] <C-Otto> (kthxbye)
[09:28] <gkasinath> question - DVICO Fusion HDTV on 10.04 help?!
[09:28] <shrz> jacekowski: memfetch
[09:28] <HaakonKL> inzi1985: I just went for the fans and blew them with compressed air, and now my laptop loves me again.
[09:29] <arand> Circs: There are apt-torrent servers available for debian at least I think, I don't know about ubuntu, and if they are in use much...
[09:29] <HaakonKL> gkasinath: what's the problem?
[09:29] <foxmulder> I can't imagine you'd get very good speeds d/loading updates from torrents even if they were available. Even on a slow mirror, it'd still be faster than torrents.
[09:29] <pLr> foxmulder: u underestimate a torrents top speed but ur still right
[09:29] <zer0t0xic> inzi1985, i think its caused of the modules on ubuntu
[09:29] <Circs> foxmulder, Probably, it was more curiosity an the desire to understand that drove me than attempt to fix something. Provocative maintenance if you will.
[09:29] <arand> foxmulder: If everyone would use torrents, they would be much faster, but of course, if no one does, they're not
[09:29] <gkasinath> HaakonKL - I've never had it working. And am wondering how to. Followed most instructions on ubuntuforums in vain
[09:30] <HaakonKL> gkasinath: what graphics card are you using, which drivers do you use, and how do you connect to the tv?
[09:30] <acidspoon> hi
[09:30] <root> hi
[09:30] <acidspoon> kann mir jemand bei der konfiguration von slim helfen bitte
[09:30] <inzi1985> HaakonKL, its not the processor thats over heating.. its the region near my left wrist... processor is fine, idles at 43
[09:30] <Jordan_U> !de | acidspoon
[09:31] <zer0t0xic> inzi1985, try Edit /etc/modules and add powernow-k7 on a seperate line and reboot.
[09:31] <simple_x> hi. i just installed cairo-dock but i dont know how to enable it each time ubuntu boots
[09:31] <HaakonKL> inzi1985: Yeah, but the fans would cool the entire laptop, no?
[09:31] <gkasinath> HaakonKL - Latest error is me-tv starting up with No tuners. But /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 exists. Nvidia card, DVB card was recognized at startup automagically by the kernel.
[09:31] <inzi1985> zer0t0xic : i shall try tat..
[09:31] <arand> Circs: One major problems with debtorrents I guess is that many ISPs do traffic shaping...
[09:31] <inzi1985> HaakonKL : i thought the fan was only for the processor.. coz thats where it is located
[09:32] <HaakonKL> gkasinath: so you're using a media center software thingie? I'm unfortunately not good with that sort of thing... :(
[09:32] <zer0t0xic> simple_x,  System-Preferences-Sessions-Startup Programs-add. enter "cairo-dock" in the command box.
[09:32] <zer0t0xic> az_s_za is offline   	Reply With Quote
[09:32] <Circs> arand, Yeah, I am fortunate enough to not be impacted directly by that. AT&T however is evil.
[09:32] <HaakonKL> inzi1985: Nah... I've had my computer shut down on me for many things. nVidia mobile cards can get quite warm.
[09:32] <zer0t0xic> simple_x,  System-Preferences-Sessions-Startup Programs-add. enter "cairo-dock" in the command box
[09:33] <HaakonKL> inzi1985: but you really should clean it out with compressed air anyway, as it is part of laptop maintenance. ;)
[09:33] <Finnish> What's the solution to play blu-ray movies in ubuntu?
[09:33] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: r u there?
[09:33] <inzi1985> HaakonKL : mine is a intel X3100, GE965 series
[09:33] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: yes
[09:33] <Circs> God I hate kernel upgrades, they make me super nervous and lag out the system so hard.
[09:33] <inzi1985> HaakonKL: impossible for that o ver heat
[09:33] <zer0t0xic> HaakonKL,  he says it runs pretty cool on windows, im sure its the modules on ubuntu is the problem to shutdown the laptop
[09:33] <atroy1994> i used ubuntu but its very slow. sebsebseb
[09:34] <HaakonKL> zer0t0xic: Okay, I didn't catch that reply. Sorry.
[09:34] <zer0t0xic> HaakonKL, dont be lol
[09:34] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: well yes
[09:34] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: why was it so? due to ram?
[09:34] <zer0t0xic> inzi1985,  did you try adding powernow-k7 on the /etc/modules ?
[09:34] <dartt> is there a performance difference between installing inside windows and a seperate dual boot?
[09:34] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: 1.  it will be a bit slow from Live CD.  2.  with a bit less RAM than 256MB RAM,  it may be a bit slower from the CD
[09:35] <drygrain> oh herro
[09:35] <miski> hello guys, the first time i installed ubuntu on my laptop, it detected the bluetooth device automatically, i just formatted my HD but this time it didn't recognize the device...any ideas ??
[09:35] <gkasinath> HaakonKL - No media center mate. Just the card and read somewhere to use me-tv, a smallish player to watch TV.
[09:35] <inzi1985> i'm adding it now
[09:35] <zer0t0xic> simple_x,  did that fix youre problem ?
[09:35] <Dr_Willis> dartt:  i wouls say there has to be one. It maybe  slight. but there proberly is some differance.
[09:35] <drygrain> i believe something is wacky with my interwebs connection
[09:35] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: how will i shut down in ubuntu?
[09:35] <inzi1985> zer0t0xic : i'mm adding it now..
[09:35] <greezmunkey> dartt: wubi vs. partition install == huge differance.
[09:35] <Dr_Willis> dartt:  i suggest doing a normal install.
[09:35] <HaakonKL> gkasinath: and it's the me-tv part that's the problem?
[09:35] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: when its installed, and you got 512MB SWAP,  things will be faster
[09:35] <gkasinath> HaakonKL - I m open to other suggestions! :)
[09:35] <chris____> hi, my install of 10.4 (i386) version on my laptop seems to have gone a little funny. I now only have access to the command line, no gui. Is there any way to install that from the command  line?
[09:35] <inzi1985> zer0t0xic: how do i add it? open it up in gedit?
[09:36] <simple_x> zer0t0xic, i'm going to try now
[09:36] <miski> hello guys, the first time i installed ubuntu on my laptop, it detected the bluetooth device automatically, i just formatted my HD but this time it didn't recognize the device...any ideas ??
[09:36] <HaakonKL> gkasinath: It's just that I don't know anything about those things, so I can't help you. I thought that the problem was getting video to the TV.
[09:36] <Dr_Willis> !bluetooth
[09:36] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: plus can use Lubuntu for even more speed, if  the default Gnome is to slow
[09:36] <gkasinath> miski - USB bluetooth or built in?
[09:36] <miski> built in
[09:36] <zer0t0xic> inzi1985,  sudo gedit /etc/modules
[09:36] <Jordan_U> miski: Stupid question, but does your laptop have a switch for disabling bluetooth / wireless?
[09:37] <gkasinath> HaakonKL - ah.. nah.. step one aint working here :)
[09:37] <TommyH> is there a way to hide drives in the ubuntu File Browser (I have a windows partition that I want to make sure i never edit delete or modify in any way so i want to hide it in the file browser completely)
[09:37] <dartt> actually my friend tried installing inside windows n he got a swap of only 256mb tat cannot be changed..does swap matter?
[09:37] <miski> jordan_u yes it does have a switch
[09:37] <HaakonKL> gkasinath: So you can't get video out?
[09:37] <zer0t0xic> inzi1985,  add it on separte line
[09:37] <Jordan_U> miski: It it in the on position?
[09:37] <C-Otto> hi again, another thing
[09:37] <miski> jordan_u hehehe yes man of course
[09:37] <inzi1985> zer0t0xic : thanks.. i just added. it.. i'm setting up my wireless now.. will restart as soon as it can get it working k
[09:37] <zer0t0xic> miski,  try use wubi to install ubuntu
[09:37] <gkasinath> HaakonKL - Cuz I cant see if the card is indeed working on Ubuntu or not. How do I scan for channels without a player?
[09:38] <C-Otto> could you please check whether ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de appears as an official mirror in the list of mirrors that is available inside ubuntu configuration stuff?
[09:38] <HaakonKL> gkasinath: I have no idea, sorry. :(
[09:38] <miski> zer0t0xic- if i install using wubi, i need to install windows first ?
[09:38] <simple_x> yes it works :) thanks a lot
[09:38] <inzi1985> gkasinath : setting up a dvbcard is such a headache.. i tried so many times with mine.. and i finally gave up
[09:38] <Jordan_U> miski: Was it when you booted? Some drivers have bugs when trying to recover after bluetooth being disabled.
[09:38] <Dr_Willis> miski:  wubi installs in windowes.. so yes.
[09:38] <gkasinath> miski - I dont bluetooth at all. But can you check dmesg and see if something comes up indicating what the problem is?
[09:38] <zer0t0xic> miski, yes
[09:38] <inzi1985> miski : dont u have windows already installed??
[09:38] <Dr_Willis> miski:  i dont reccomend WUBI at all. i see to many problems with it in here every week
[09:38] <miski> nop
[09:39] <zer0t0xic> simple_x,  no rpoblem
[09:39] <Dr_Willis> miski:  You may as well set up a Dual boot system if you have NO os installed right now
[09:39] <Notch-1> hi, can someone please paste me the content of /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager* file(s) ?
[09:39] <gkasinath> inzi1985 - I m with you mate! Especially the DVICo I think. I m stuck with Windows (had to PAY for 7!!) just so I can watch TV!!
[09:39] <inzi1985> Dr_willis : do u have any idea, as to wat is usally under the left wrist, on a laptop
[09:39] <inzi1985> gkasinath : yah dude.. its terrible..
[09:39] <miski> is there anything like a device manager in ubuntu ?
[09:40] <dartt> there is hardinfo
[09:40] <simple_x> cairo-dock is much like mac os x dock :) very nice
[09:40] <zer0t0xic> simple_x,  yes
[09:40] <inzi1985> gksanith : where are u from?
[09:40] <gkasinath> miski - yes there are.. lspci -v should tell you what pci devices you've got.
[09:40] <arand> C-Otto: It does not in Lucid.
[09:40] <C-Otto> arand: hm, thanks
[09:40] <miski> thanks gkasinath
[09:41] <C-Otto> it is listed as official, though
[09:41] <inzi1985> Dr_Willis : r u there?>
[09:41] <C-Otto> arand: the name is "RWTH Aachen University", maybe hidden in that?
[09:41] <gkasinath> inzi1985 - Perth, WA
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> inzi1985:  hmm?
[09:41] <[Screamo]> does Transmission support RSS feeds?
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> [Screamo]:  its a rather basic torrent client. It myght have the feature.  Check its docs
[09:42] <arand> C-Otto: There is vest.informatik.rwth-aachen.de, but not the one you specified.
[09:42] <inzi1985> Dr_willis  i have a compaq610,  only with ubuntu , the region under my left wrist heats up a lot, but on win 7 not so much
[09:42] <C-Otto> arand: k, thanks. do you know if that list is updated automatically?
[09:42] <chris____> I'm also getting a "startx: command not found" error message too.
[09:42] <inzi1985> anyhardware guys out there could help , i'd appreciate it alot
[09:42] <sebsebseb> inzi1985: ##hardware
[09:43] <inzi1985> sebsebseb wat do u mean?
[09:43] <chris____> is there anyway to get it fixed besides reinstalling?
[09:43] <sebsebseb> inzi1985: theres a channel for hardware issues
[09:43] <inzi1985> oh
[09:43] <inzi1985> og
[09:44] <inzi1985> sebsebseb : hardware issues on ubuntu?
[09:44] <Damascene> there is too many updates for the kernel
[09:44] <arand> C-Otto: I would guess that it may be defined by a package, by which case it is likely froozen as of the release of an ubuntu version (possibly updated later on if need be, but far from automatically... my guess)
[09:44] <sebsebseb> inzi1985: for any OS/hardware
[09:44] <C-Otto> arand: okay, so we need to wait for N* N*...
[09:44] <inzi1985> sebsebseb : i just tried.. i cant join there.. it says i need to be invited.. lol
[09:45] <C-Otto> (when is that going to be released?)
[09:45] <gent> hi
[09:45] <arand> C-Otto: Why not Maverick?
[09:45] <sebsebseb> inzi1985: maye you need to be registred on Freenode to join if your not
[09:45] <dartt> guys there was a gpg key error yesterday for lucid release...its had gone now...but i hv stopped getting security updates
[09:45] <C-Otto> arand: i think we got official (again) after the release of maverick
[09:45] <inzi1985> sebsebseb, i dun think im registerd.. i shall do so soon
[09:46] <sebsebseb> !register | inzi1985
[09:46] <khelvan> Hello, I am trying to add gconf-editor to my menu - I have right-clicked on applications and chosen Edit Menus, and I see the option for System Tools, but it won't allow me to check it for display. Can anyone tell me why?
[09:46] <arand> C-Otto: Maverick is not released yet and is still undergoing heavy changes, so I would assume if you are official it is highly likely that you might get in there
[09:46] <lunik> Pessoal, alguém aqui sabe algum software no estilo fruity loops pro linux? (mixagem de audio)
[09:46] <zer0t0xic> khelvan, i think you need to be root
[09:46] <lunik> oh shit
[09:47] <lunik> wrong channel
[09:47] <C-Otto> arand: oh, i see. like squeeze? :)
[09:47] <arand> Damascene: Not really, there are security updates, which I doubt people would want to miss.
[09:48] <khelvan> zer0t0xic, thanks - is there an easy way to do that through the GUI? or do I need to use the terminal?
[09:48] <arand> C-Otto: Kind-of, Maverick is somewhat of a rolling release at the moment, but in time for 2010-10 it will get "frozen" and released.
[09:48] <C-Otto> cool.
[09:48] <C-Otto> we'll see
[09:48] <C-Otto> i expect a lot of traffic from ubuntu
[09:48] <C-Otto> bye :)
[09:48] <zer0t0xic> khelvan, try clickin on the application category and youll be able to check what programs you want to show on the menu
[09:49] <zer0t0xic> khelvan,  let me know is that fixed youre problem
[09:50] <mvk> http://pastebin.com/YKRCbeHv
[09:50] <mvk> shit
[09:50] <dartt> help me ....i am not getting security updates after an error in lucid release gpg key....is setting all keys to default in software sources an option?
[09:50] <Euthanatos> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1364460  <---I have been trying this to get 1080p working but step 5 fails with this http://pastebin.com/j6yRu5KR which seems retarded because of the very last line listing it as displayed
[09:50] <jungli> hello how can i see in which drive installed the ubuntu like sda8 or sda9 ..etc ?
[09:50] <khelvan> zer0t0xic, That's what I did, but when I check it, the checkmark disappears and the new menu doesn't show up for some reason. It unchecks itself without me doing anything, about two seconds after I check it. I don't know why :P
[09:51] <Euthanatos> anyone have experience making 1080p work when ubuntu fails to detect?  It's not ATI or a hardware issue because I've had it working before.  For some reason Ubuntu just decided to be a ......
[09:52] <zer0t0xic> khelvan, i see that what do you want to add in the menu ?
[09:52] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: so how far does the monitor work in the bootup process?
[09:52] <jungli> hello how can i see in which drive i installl the linux
[09:52] <Euthanatos> it boots.  I'm in 1440x900 on the monitor now
[09:53] <oCean_> jungli: if you use the command "df -h" you can see current partitions. Use "sudo fdisk -l" to list all partitions on all of your drives
[09:53] <Euthanatos> I tried reinstalling to no avail same issue.  idk wtf i did to get it working in the first place tbh
[09:53] <zer0t0xic> khelvan,you gotta check on the category first, such Accessories, then add the program you want to add
[09:53] <khelvan> zer0t0xic, Oh! If I don't have an item checked, the menu won't show up.  :P
[09:53] <simple_x> is there a way to change or remove the splash screen?
[09:54] <Euthanatos> i do know part of the problem is that i retained my /home partition which will really piss me off to have to get rid of
[09:54] <Euthanatos> and reinstall...again...because ubuntu fails
[09:54] <zer0t0xic> khelvan,  yes, and no youre not lol :P
[09:54] <gkasinath> jungli - Fire up a terminal and type mount.
[09:54] <smart_> hello every body
[09:54] <TommyH> How do I change my default media player to be VLC Player for everything?
[09:54] <Euthanatos> i mean seriously....this video thing is old as hell
[09:54] <drygrain> hello smart_
[09:54] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: are you sure about that 173Mhz? seems excessive?
[09:55] <gkasinath> jungli - if you see something like /dev/sda on / then you know the ubuntu installation is on /dev/sda
[09:55] <zer0t0xic> TommyH,  right click onthe file and Click Open With Other Application..
[09:55] <Euthanatos> SwedeMike, no i thought that was retarded to but that's what cvt says....furthermore it's NOT 173...it's 60
[09:55] <jungli> gkasinath: i install two destors in my system
[09:56] <jungli> one is fedora and second is ubuntu
[09:56] <jungli> :(
[09:56] <Euthanatos> but shit if any of that makes sense to a layman or i would know how to change that modeline when it's suppose to just work
[09:56] <oCean_> Euthanatos: watch the language
[09:56] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: and this is via vga, not hdmi/dvi ?
[09:56] <Euthanatos> yeah sure
[09:56] <TommyH> zer0t0xic:  i do that, but then when i try to open the file again by double clicking it opens some other media player
[09:56] <Euthanatos> right vga
[09:56] <jungli> ok ok i get it
[09:56] <jungli> :P
[09:56] <jungli> tahnks
[09:56] <dartt> is there a way to manually download updates...i hv stopeed getting security updates
[09:56] <zver> TommyH:check it in gconf-editor
[09:57] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: and you don't have DVI? In my experience EDID usually works on DVI
[09:57] <zer0t0xic> TommyH,  then choose which program to use, and Checked RememberThis Application for..
[09:57] <foxmulder> zver: Do you know the package name? If so, just google it.
[09:57] <Euthanatos> i don't have a DVI->DVI cable
[09:57] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: look here http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Modeline_Database and try some of those modelines
[09:57] <zver> TommyH:/desktop/gnome/applications/media
[09:57] <jungli> but i ahve one more question how to label it like ubuntu and fedora
[09:59] <erUSUL> dartt: System>admin...>update manager
[09:59] <Euthanatos> oh right because finding a needle in a haystack where my brand isn't even listed is easier than writing it myself
[09:59] <Euthanatos> assuming there is a needle
[09:59] <TommyH> zver: do i just type in "vlc" as the value ?
[09:59] <OldPete> TommyH: If you install and use Ubuntu Tweak, you can change the default apps for all kinds of media from a single menu.
[09:59] <erUSUL> !gpgerr | dartt
[10:00] <erUSUL> dartt: pleaee keep it in channel; thanks
[10:00] <TommyH> How about hiding partitions/volumes in the File Browser? (i hae a windows partition i want to make sure i never touch)
[10:00] <phandox> Hi, I have a problem with iPod touch and Ubuntu 10.04. Ubuntu doesnt recognise connected iPod. Do you have any solution? Thanks.
[10:00] <Haagimus> is there any way to create my own private room in this IRC
[10:01] <Euthanatos> holy crap.  if i'd have know this was such a pitfa fail pos i wouldn't have wasted $170 for 1080p  lame
[10:01] <Haagimus> i tried to /join #custom room name but that didnt work
[10:01] <well_laid_lawn> Haagimus: try   /j #haagimus
[10:01] <well_laid_lawn>  /j #haagimus
[10:02] <OldPete> TommyH: If you never want to touch it, just don't mount it at boot.
[10:02] <Haagimus> disregard i figured it out
[10:02] <Haagimus> was just lag
[10:03] <TommyH> OldPete:  How do i not mount it at boot?  i just installed ubuntu, and it automounts all my partitions
[10:03] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: spend another 10USD for a DVI cable and you'll get better picture and easier to get it to work.
[10:03] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: my 1920x1200 monitor was detected automatically, no problem at all.
[10:03] <Euthanatos> SwedeMike, no DVI=HDMI
[10:03] <Euthanatos> Hdmi is just w/ aduo
[10:03] <Euthanatos> audio*
[10:04] <Euthanatos> so there won't be anything to be had from DVI over HDMI
[10:04] <OldPete> TommyH: Do you know how to edit fstab from the command line?
[10:04] <BPower> Anyone know of file splitting/joining software that works on both Ubuntu and Windows
[10:04] <BPower> ?
[10:04] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: whatever, DVI, HDMI, whatever connectors work for you.
[10:04] <TommyH> OldPete: no :'(
[10:04] <Euthanatos> none?
[10:04] <Euthanatos> it's not a frikin hardware issue
[10:04] <MikeChelen> BPower: 7zip with .rar or .tar?
[10:04] <dartt> p7zip
[10:04] <dartt> its in synaptic
[10:04] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: ok then, you seem to know best. Have a nice life.
[10:04] <OldPete> TommyH: You know how to use the command line at all?
[10:05] <TommyH> OldPete: ya, i know how to enter commands haha
[10:05] <BPower> MikeChelen, Oh. Didn't know you could do that with 7zip. I'll try that out. Thanks
[10:05] <Euthanatos> yeah well i'm no guru but i didn't forget to plug it hur dur thanks anyway
[10:05] <damien> Hi all, I'm occasionally getting Plymouth issues when booting. Instead of seeing the nice purple, I get a broken screen well Dell logos spread suspiciously across the top. Which room should I report this in?
[10:05] <MikeChelen> BPower: check which file formats it supports, probably ones allows splitting
[10:06] <Euthanatos> back to slack screw it
[10:06] <Dr_Willis> TommyH:  you could install/run the ntfs-config command - it might let you just 'check box' the drives to ignore.
[10:06] <lindsaymobil22> hey is it advised to run updates on a wubi install?
[10:06] <BPower> MikeChelen, thanks! :) I'm going to try now on the Windows side. brb
[10:06] <OldPete> TommyH: Okay.  I'm not sure what text editor you have installed, so the command I'm going to give will have to be changed for whatever it is.  I use one called pico.
[10:07] <bupsss> hi all
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> lindsaymobil22:  I think it can be done. but watch out for  Upgrading to the next release.
[10:07] <OldPete> TommyH: sudo pico /etc/fstab
[10:07] <BoWenLi> hey, guys. have anyone useing Netbeans 6.8 Developer?
[10:07] <bupsss> does anyone knows if it's possible to use kde power manager on gnome?
[10:07] <bupsss> it has great power schemes... that i really need
[10:07] <lindsaymobil22> dr_willis: i know im not upgrading to 9.10, it sucks, and im not upgrading the kernel of 9.04 either
[10:08] <Propel> sup folks!!!
[10:08] <OldPete> TommyH: Look for a line that will be labeled showing where the windows partition is currently being mounted.  Comment out the line after that with a #.  Then save.
[10:08] <Propel> I finally jumped ship! :D
[10:08] <Propel> about time
[10:08] <Propel> officially a geek :P
[10:08] <AhmedBH> hi all
[10:08] <Pinguis> has anyone here gone from karmic to lucid? I'm thinking about upgrading but I'm not sure
[10:08] <OldPete> Dangit ... Is imagebin.ca down for everyone, or is it just me?
[10:09] <wildbat> Propel, did you passed the geek exam ?;p
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> lindsaymobil22:  personally i wouldent use Wubi at all
[10:09] <lindsaymobil22> dr_willis: in the recommend updates it lists an intel display driver for my laptops card, is ubuntu 9.04 any good at upgrading drivers? does anyone get problems, like BIG problems?
[10:09] <fishcooker> dr_willis: is it true that writing partition on the first always from the outer cyclinder?!
[10:09] <AhmedBH> can anyone tells me why the hell my HDD is so slow whiling copying from ext4 to ext4 when its fine and fast as hell on NTFS on windows7 SAME DRIVE by the way 7200 RPM it pissed me off @_@
[10:09] <Propel> so far, so good wildbat! :P
[10:09] <bupsss> Pinguis i just did.... :D
[10:10] <lindsaymobil22> dr_willis: wubi was my only option, the os that cant be named wouldnt let me shrink the partition, and i dont like GParted
[10:11] <Dr_Willis> lindsaymobil22:  windows couldent shrink its self? odd...  theres alterantives to gparted.. and you could of used virtualbox..
[10:11] <damien> Pinguis - All works fine for me except Netbeans now won't start and an occasional Plymouth issue.
[10:11] <Dr_Willis> lindsaymobil22:  i hopd your wubi setup dosent just self destruct some day like i see many people in here have happen.
[10:12] <lindsaymobil22> dr_willis: nope, just came up saying 0 mb to shrink, yet i have like 110GB of free space
[10:12] <lindsaymobil22> i tried perfectdisk, didnt work
[10:12] <TommyH> OldPete:  There's no windows drives listed there, i guess the issue is not that my drives are being mounted
[10:12] <AhmedBH> anyone wanna help me ? jhhhhhhhh
[10:12] <TommyH> It's that they are even listed in my File Browser
[10:12] <Gryllida> how do I check whether a package is installed? I know its name
[10:12] <TommyH> I want to remove them from all visibility as if they never existed
[10:13] <erUSUL> Gryllida: apt-cache policy packagename
[10:13] <well_laid_lawn> Gryllida: dpkg -l | grep packagename
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> lindsaymobil22:  i always defrag/scandisk befor i resize. never seen the issue.
[10:13] <EgyParadox> AhmedBH: at what rate is the copying?
[10:13] <wildbat> AhmedBH, define slow and fast ....
[10:13] <OldPete> TommyH: If it's being mounted, it's listed there somewhere unless you're doing it manuall, which it doesn't sound like you are.
[10:13] <lindsaymobil22> dr_willis: ive tried everything under the sun, still dosent work
[10:13] <Gryllida> well_laid_lawn, erUSUL, which one should I use?
[10:14] <well_laid_lawn> Gryllida: either :]
[10:14] <phandox> Hi, my Ubuntu 10.04 cannot recognise connected iPod Touch OS 3.1.3. Does somebody know solution?

[10:14] <AhmedBH> EgyParadox:  i copied a ripper dvd it was 700mb and it was at 20 to 22 mbps i was so pissed
[10:15] <OldPete> TommyH: Yeah, that should help you.

[10:15] <TommyH> thanks all for the help! im going to sleep now!

[10:18] <inzi1985> Dr_willis : that area on my laptop is quite hot
[10:18] <mohammad6006> how to uninstall docky?
[10:18] <mohammad6006> im newbie
[10:18] <[Screamo]> inzi1985, you would have to google and look for schematics =/
[10:18] <inzi1985> Dr_Willis : i know that.. just figured u might know. ehhe ..
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> inzi1985:  gpu, cpu, or hd....
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> mohammad6006:  use the package manager tools.

[10:18] <mohammad6006> tanx
[10:19] <mohammad6006> dr willis
[10:19] <lindsaymobil22> dr_willis: theres some niggles with 10.04 right now, i started with 9.04, and loved it, that was may 2009

[10:19] <mohammad6006> where is package manager?
[10:19] <AhmedBH> wildbat:its about 20 to 22
[10:20] <EgyParadox> System-> Administration-> Synaptic Package Manager
[10:20] <inzi1985> mohammed6006 : go to system > Administration > Synaptic package manager
[10:20] <Gryllida> mohammad6006, applications, Synaptic package manager

[10:20] <AhmedBH> oh huh
[10:21] <AhmedBH> welcome back
[10:21] <mohammad6006> tanx
[10:21] <EgyParadox> AhmedBH
[10:21] <AhmedBH> wildbat: so
[10:21] <fishcooker> i lost connection too
[10:21] <AhmedBH> wildbat:  any idea whats so wrong when its fine on NTFS
[10:21] <tkbros> jhjnbjkbjk
[10:21] <wildbat> AhmedBH, what is the rate on NTFS and ext4?
[10:22] <fishcooker> /dev/sda1 is more outer of cylinder disk than /dev/sda2
[10:22] <fishcooker> ?
[10:22] <wildbat> fishcooker, usually but not a must
[10:22] <AhmedBH> wildbat: i gotta check both are same 7200 RMP but i gotta check wait
[10:22] <AhmedBH> but other sda2 has NTFS on it so ? copying from ext4 to NTSF wont really solve anything
[10:22] <AhmedBH> it will have its own spee

[10:23] <BPower> MikeChelen, you're the best :) Thanks for pointing out 7zip for me
[10:25] <jungli> hello how i install launcy ?
[10:25] <kop> BPower, some are actually able to help , I'm just here to laugh at
[10:25] <jungli> !launcy
[10:25] <Gryllida> jungli, sudo apt-get install launcy
[10:25] <BPower> !install
[10:26] <BPower> haha
[10:26] <BPower> oh. poo.
[10:26] <BPower> Would I have any problems if I install Ubuntu to an external hard drive?  The goal is that I could switch between computer systems (like Live USB but more powerful).
[10:26] <jungli> Gryllida: i think i see you in freenode
[10:26] <MikeChelen> BPower: there are tons of good archive programs for linux, 7zip is nice though for being crossplatform :)
[10:26] <jungli> Gryllida: do you remmber ?
[10:26] <Gryllida> jungli, that's right..
[10:26] <BPower> MikeChelen, agreed
[10:26] <kc7zzv> There are some bugs in https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt.  Where should I rebort them or how should I fix them?
[10:27]  * jungli jungli hugs Gryllida
[10:27]  * kop crawls back under a rock
[10:28] <tkbros> will it harm my computer if i power off it directly from ups instead of shutting down it from ubuntu.
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> tkbros:  always best to properly shutdown
[10:28] <inzi1985> tkbros : yes it would, so best shutdown through ubuntu
[10:28] <kc7zzv> It may harm your OS or data if you just cut the power.  The computer should be fine though.
[10:29] <Dr_Willis> BPower:  a normal install to a usb hd can work. but moveing theat hd from one box to another. can have issues - depending on the video drivers and so forth t hat you install
[10:29] <unop> tkbros, the UPS should signal a shutdown when reaching a minimum threshold
[10:29] <lindsaymobil22> should i run the recommended updates in jaunty?
[10:29] <lindsaymobil22> its just the xorg that has me worried
[10:30] <jungli> cat /proc/partitions but what are the blocks ?
[10:31] <zultell> my friend
[10:31] <zultell> i need help
[10:31] <BPower> Dr_Willis, You think there are ways I can setup conditional drivers? Ex: switch (mac_address_orwhaever) { ... }
[10:31] <BPower> whatever**
[10:31] <lindsaymobil22> should i run the recommended updates in jaunty? its just the xorg that has me worried
[10:32] <zultell> i got problem when i install my friend with win xp got he display driver detect
[10:32] <zultell> but when i install lucid dont have it]
[10:32] <kc7zzv> lindsaymobil22: Any reason you'er worried about the updates?
[10:32] <AhmedBH> wildbat: same speed
[10:32] <AhmedBH> 19 mbps
[10:32] <well_laid_lawn> lindsaymobil22: why wouldn't you?
[10:32] <fishcooker> numbering of cylinder is started from the outer?!
[10:32] <kc7zzv> zultell: What graphics card?
[10:32] <lindsaymobil22> kc7zzv: this is a wubi install and ive heard bad things about upgrading xorg with intel graphics chips
[10:33] <zultell> can anyone help me
[10:33] <zultell> ati radeon 350m
[10:33] <lindsaymobil22> i aint upgrading the kernel, no sirrey
[10:33] <well_laid_lawn> zultell: you need to tell the channel the prob mate
[10:33] <wildbat> !ati | zultell
[10:34] <kc7zzv> lindsaymobil22: In my experence, Intel graphics cards had a lot more bugs in Karmic, but most of the NEW bugs are fixed by now.
[10:34] <AhmedBH> wildbat: hello ?:P
[10:34] <[Screamo]> ewww intel gfx =/
[10:34] <lindsaymobil22> kc7zzv: i hate karmic, im using jaunty,
[10:34] <wildbat> AhmedBH, hmmm ?
[10:35] <AhmedBH> wildbat: its slow as i told you 20 mpbs
[10:35] <lindsaymobil22> screamo: tell me about it, good thing i have a gaming pc with an ati hd4650
[10:35] <thune3> lindsaymobil22: then update everything but xorg stuff if that concerns you
[10:35] <[Screamo]> i cant even run ubuntu on my dell because of the intel card
[10:35] <kc7zzv> lindsaymobil22: I don't think any of those updates ever ended up in Jaunty though.  Also, I haven't had any trouble with Intel graphics cards in Lucid aside from general slowness.
[10:36] <lindsaymobil22> thune3: its just i think i might need a graphics update because online videos stutter in full screen in ubuntu, fine in windows and os x
[10:36] <kc7zzv> [Screamo]: One of the older Dimentions?
[10:36] <wildbat> AhmedBH,  that's about the speed HDD writes
[10:36] <[Screamo]> kc7zzv, yeah, its pretty old =/
[10:36] <AhmedBH> wildbat: Yes but THIS SLOW are you kidding me ?
[10:36] <lindsaymobil22> [screamo] try xubuntu
[10:37] <lindsaymobil22> or pp linux
[10:37] <lindsaymobil22> pp meaning puppy
[10:37] <[Screamo]> Speed isnt an issue, its the gfx card driver
[10:37] <wildbat> AhmedBH, define fast then ?
[10:37] <kc7zzv> [Screamo]: I work on those a lot.  I've found them to not crash, but X is unusably slow in jaunty or above.
[10:38] <[Screamo]> well that machine is back to windows
[10:38] <kc7zzv> [Screamo]: They used to kernal panic a lot in karmic for a month or two after release.
[10:38] <AhmedBH> wildbat: man on ntfs its a way faster and why slow here when it should be at least better on ext4
[10:38] <lindsaymobil22> does wubi 10.04 work very well?
[10:39] <[Screamo]> if i use the proprietary driver for nvidia card, im stuck with like half the resolution =/
[10:40] <Dr_Willis> I dont think ive ever seebn the terms 'Wubi and Works Very Well' Ever used together. :)
[10:40] <[Screamo]> ikr
[10:40] <[Screamo]> arg
[10:40] <[Screamo]> fucking rat bite me :(
[10:41] <phlak_user> !language
[10:41] <[Screamo]> ooops wrong window =/
[10:41] <wildbat> AhmedBH, it depends on fragmentations level and where the data write~ , you may also have disk cache disabled
[10:41] <lindsaymobil22> dr_willis: not true, wubi 9.04 is as fast as an ext3 install, just because the install drive is ntfs, i have fragmenting issues
[10:41] <Dr_Willis> lindsaymobil22:  and i see peopme in here Constantly with their wubi issues...
[10:41] <lindsaymobil22> dr_willis: wow, and im the only one were it works flawless?
[10:42] <Dr_Willis> lindsaymobil22:  yes. i would say you are one of the very very very very few
[10:42] <phlak_user> lindsaymobil22: i recently installed and uninstalled wubi on someone's laptop and they lost their windoze 7 along with it!!!
[10:42] <kc7zzv> Well, in theory the people who aren't having issues might not come here.
[10:42] <lindsaymobil22> phlak_user: now thats crazy
[10:42] <Abrodmain> hi evrybody, who knows how to repear windows because it doesnt install, it's a tattoed pc (code purple) ?
[10:42] <wildbat> AhmedBH, also you may be running IDE mode ~ check bios setting
[10:42] <Dr_Willis> Id reccomend using Virtualbox over wubi to 'test' out linux. (actually i use vbox + linux  on windows to get work done) :)
[10:43] <phlak_user> lindsaymobil22: no its true; i can see the windoze entry in grub but cant boot; inside lucid, i can see the partition but totally empty
[10:43] <lindsaymobil22> is wubi 10.04 with vista any good,
[10:43] <lindsaymobil22> phlak_user, since when did grub come up first? for me its the windows bootloader then grub4dos
[10:43] <phlak_user> Abrodmain: whats a tattooed PC?
[10:43] <[Screamo]> wubi isnt good at all
[10:43] <[Screamo]> =/
[10:44] <lindsaymobil22> i love wubi, great inventions, just has some issue
[10:44] <Dr_Willis> I think this channel in General has a very low opinion of wubi's abilities
[10:44] <phlak_user> lindsaymobil22: i then installed ubuntu natively so grub also came up :)
[10:44] <phlak_user> lindsaymobil22: which is why i tried to uninstall the wubi installation
[10:44]  * wildbat votes against wubi ~
[10:44] <lindsaymobil22> i vote for wubi
[10:45] <vasez> What is the recommended filesyetm for a media drive with mostly large video files?
[10:45] <phlak_user> lindsaymobil22: jolliet?
[10:45] <Dr_Willis> vasez:  when in doubt stick with ext3/ext4
[10:45] <phlak_user> lindsaymobil22: sorry not for you
[10:45] <Dr_Willis> vasez:  unless you have to share with windows.
[10:45] <BAHAR> hello, how can i switch to another languages?
[10:45] <lindsaymobil22> jolliet?
[10:46] <Abrodmain> a tattou is a microsoft protection which doesnt allow you to install any other OS
[10:46] <phlak_user> lindsaymobil22: nm; the filesystem
[10:46] <kc7zzv> BAHAR: In ubuntu?
[10:46] <Abrodmain> or qomething like that
[10:46] <qm7> I've been having programs freeze randomly for about 30 seconds, this happens every 10-20 minutes or so, randomly. I checked /var/log/messages and it says something about the "Ubuntu Network Kernel" and "Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed". Could anyone please help me with this?
[10:46] <vasez> Dr_Willis: Thanks, of the two which is more stable?
[10:46] <BAHAR> yes
[10:46] <Dr_Willis> Abrodmain:  never heard of it.
[10:46] <Dr_Willis> vasez:  proberly wont matter. ext4 in theory is  better.
[10:46] <phlak_user> Abrodmain: is that legally allowed? i thought they threw that out of the window
[10:47] <lindsaymobil22> has anyone had their keyboard not work in lucid?
[10:47] <phlak_user> qm7: do a memory test at boot
[10:47] <BAHAR> kc7zzv:  i  have engish and persian, how i can switch i mean the keybord layout
[10:47] <alkemann> i installed lamp server with taskel, and now I have the emberrassing problem that I cant find the htdocs.
[10:47] <phlak_user> lindsaymobil22: i had mine freezeup totally; then discovered that i had enabled slow keys by mistake
[10:47] <Dr_Willis> !lamp | alkemann
[10:47] <oCean_> alkemann: htdocs?
[10:47] <phlak_user> alkemann: /var/www
[10:48] <nyuszika7h> Hi!
[10:48] <vasez> Dr_Willis: Thank you, a reading said that fscks are faster on ext4, that wins me over lol
[10:48] <qm7> phlak_user: why? and do you do that?
[10:48] <BAHAR> ubuntu, could you pls help me
[10:48] <phlak_user> qm7: its to check if your RAM is ok
[10:48] <Abrodmain> i don't know but the big computer companies such as windows and HP, Dell, Asus.. made an arrangement
[10:48] <alkemann> phlak_user: thanks.
[10:48] <lindsaymobil22> somebody on youtube had there keyboard not work with a native install, so they had to do there video in vbox
[10:48] <BAHAR> i want switch persian and english keybord layout
[10:48] <phlak_user> Abrodmain: you mean like an OEM version?
[10:48] <kc7zzv> There are some bugs in https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt.  Where should I report it or send my fixes?
[10:49] <phlak_user> BAHAR: system-preferences-keyboard
[10:49] <oCean_> !bug | kc7zzv
[10:49] <qm7> phlak_user: is this symptomatic of a RAM issue?
[10:49] <Abrodmain> yes phlak_user
[10:49] <BAHAR> ubuntu
[10:49] <qm7> phlak_user: how do you do the test?
[10:49] <phlak_user> qm7: sure sounds like it; once you isolate that its not the RAM, we can look at other things
[10:49] <phlak_user> qm7: select the memtest option in grub
[10:49] <BAHAR> ubuntu, pls help me
[10:50] <qm7> phlak_user: how do I get to that?
[10:50] <phlak_user> BAHAR: system-preferences-keyboard
[10:50] <phlak_user> qm7: at boot, you get the grub menu right?
[10:50] <qm7> no
[10:50] <phlak_user> qm7: no??
[10:50] <thune3> qm7: do you have the full line where Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed"
[10:50] <r-c-is-me> i have ubuntu 9.10 aand installed ps3 media server, followed the steps and when i double click PMS.sh and say RUN i don't see anything happening......can someone pls try and help me
[10:51] <alkemann> i have to use sudo to edit files in /var/www ?
[10:51] <Abrodmain> in fact the mbr is deleted and the computer doesn't recognise the version of windows (correct me if i'm wrong)
[10:51] <thune3> qm7: where that appears
[10:51] <qm7> phlak_user: oh do you have to press a key to get that?
[10:51] <Dr_Willis> r-c-is-me:  run it from the terminal, look for error messages, not 'double clicking' on it
[10:51] <qm7> thune3: yes, do you want to see it?
[10:52] <r-c-is-me> Dr_Willis: i'm not too happy working in terminal, where can i look at the steps
[10:52] <thune3> qm7: yes, just the one full line
[10:52] <oCean_> alkemann: default it is owned by root user I think. In that case, you have to sudo moving or editing files there
[10:52] <BAHAR> phlak_user:  tnx alot,
[10:52] <BAHAR> ;)
[10:52] <BAHAR> bye all
[10:53] <qm7> thune3: Jun  2 11:45:01 ubuntu-network kernel: [65446.460760] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed
[10:53] <alkemann> oCean_: ok now that's just annoying. editing a css file on a localhost is hardly a security hole. can I grab ownership of /var/www ?
[10:53] <r-c-is-me> Dr_Willis: all the configs and stuff they mention is by double clicking and i don't see anything happening like i said
[10:53] <phlak_user> alkemann: yes you can; /var/www/ is normally protected by apache
[10:54] <phlak_user> qm7: oh that looks like your hard drive is in trouble (sda)
[10:54] <nyuszika7h> i'm now testing kubuntu
[10:54] <oCean_> alkemann: you can use "sudo -i" to gain shell with sudo privileges
[10:54] <thune3> qm7: to me it looks like your hdd may be developing bad blocks
[10:54] <qm7> phlak_user: it says sd, not sda
[10:54] <phlak_user> qm7: yes it does --->  [sda] Add
[10:54] <QuiltPants> hi all, could someone please help me set up remmina to remote into another machine using dyndns ? :) I'm very confused...
[10:55] <alkemann> why does this have to feel so hard to someone who thought he was computer proficient..
[10:55] <qm7> thune3: what does that mean? hardware damage or software error?
[10:55] <qm7> phlak_user: now i see it
[10:55] <oCean_> phlak_user: alkemann it's not user apache.
[10:56] <phlak_user> alkemann: what user is apache running as?
[10:56] <oCean_> alkemann: it's not all that hard, is it? The different users and userprivileges are very basic in the linux security
[10:56] <oCean_> phlak_user: www-data
[10:56] <oCean_> phlak_user: still, default ownership is root
[10:56] <EgyParadox> QuiltPants: I believe this is an issue not related to ubuntu
[10:56] <EgyParadox> remina?
[10:57] <EgyParadox> wait
[10:57] <qm7> thune3: what does that mean? hardware damage or software error?
[10:57] <thune3> qm7: hard drives can develop bad blocks. you could try looking at the smart data (internal hard drive reporting): smartctl -a /dev/sda
[10:57] <EgyParadox> oh remmina I apologize
[10:57] <alkemann> phlak_user: how do i find out?
[10:57] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: no worries :)
[10:58] <{BG}Barbarian> hello, is it possible to install ubuntu from a USB stick?
[10:58] <oCean_> alkemann: it is www-data, the user running the webserver(-processes)
[10:58] <{BG}Barbarian> I have a pc without a disk drive or dvd drive
[10:58] <kiamo> {BG}Barbarian, yes
[10:58] <wildbat> !usb | {BG}Barbarian
[10:58] <kiamo> there are instructions on how on the main ubuntu page
[10:58] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: i tried using the build in remote desktop viewer, but had no luck so i installed remmina instead which seems to work well
[10:58] <oCean_> alkemann: but you do not need to become that user. The /var/www directory is default owned by the root user
[10:58] <phlak_user> alkemann: ps -fe | grep httpd
[10:59] <oCean_> phlak_user: alkemann nope: not grep httpd, it's called apache2 the process
[10:59] <EgyParadox> QuiltPants: the remote desktop viewer worked with DynDNS?
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> {BG}Barbarian:  i do that all the time. However the SERVER edition may not work that way. (alternative installer might not also)
[10:59] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: i have it working on my local network, but can't figure how to set it up so that i can access teh machine via DynDns
[10:59] <alkemann> alek      9448  9288  0 11:59 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto httpd
[10:59] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: no i haven't figured that out yet
[11:00] <EgyParadox> QuiltPants: Some routers can support DynDNS.
[11:00] <phlak_user> oCean_: yes youre right; it used to be httpd some moons ago
[11:00] <oCean_> phlak_user: on other distro's it still is
[11:00] <alkemann> so anywhy i installed a lamp(hp) server but php isnt working
[11:00] <EgyParadox> QuiltPants: you can check your vendor of your router if you need to access it from the internet.
[11:01] <EgyParadox> if can support DynDNS
[11:01] <alkemann> there is a php5 dir in /etc/
[11:01] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: oh yes
[11:01] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: sorry i just realised i've made a slight mistake
[11:01] <EgyParadox> QuiltPants: You can also enable port forwarding.
[11:01] <Mojodojo> I swear Ubuntu rocks lol anyways is anyone here able to answer a wine question?
[11:01] <EgyParadox> no worries.
[11:01] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: what i'm trying to do is set up a machine here at home that i plan to set up at my dad's house
[11:02] <oCean_> Mojodojo: there are lots op people here. Just ask your question in the channel, try to keep it in one single line
[11:02] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: so i have tried to set up ddclient on his machine
[11:02] <QuiltPants> as i'm not sure how his router works
[11:02] <oCean_> Mojodojo: however, wine support is in #winehq
[11:02] <phlak_user> alkemann: how do you know that php doesnt work?
[11:02] <Pip> Hello, I want to view the menu.lst file in /boot, where is it ?
[11:02] <alkemann> phlak_user: goging to /localhost/index.php it downloads the php file
[11:02] <Pip> How to edit the grub booting menu ?
[11:03] <oCean_> !grub2 | Pip
[11:03] <Pip> damn
[11:03] <Mojodojo> I'm trying to run Ragnarok and its extreamly slow even with my duel core pc 3gb ram and ati 4650 1gb video card any idea why?
[11:03] <r-c-is-me> is there a ps3 media server support channel somewhere?
[11:03] <phlak_user> pip: it has changed since grub2; now there is a /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d and /boot/grub/grub.cfg that gets generated
[11:04] <EgyParadox> QuiltPants: you can enable port forwarding on the router which is connected to the computer you try to connect to.
[11:04] <EgyParadox> you are trying to connect to*
[11:05] <phlak_user> alkemann: have you installed and enabled the php module for apache?
[11:05] <alkemann> phlak_user: i picked the install everything default option. or so I thought.
[11:05] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: sorry EgyParadox, i think i've just realised my mistake
[11:05] <alkemann> phlak_user: the softerware center lists php
[11:05] <EgyParadox> QuiltPants: No worries
[11:05] <oCean_> alkemann: be sure php module is loaded (sudo a2enmod php5) and apache is restarted (sudo apache2ctl restart)
[11:05] <qm7> phlak_user: im going to pm you the results
[11:05] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: on the router i have a different dyndns account to that set up using ddclient
[11:05] <phlak_user> qm7: just pastebinit
[11:06] <Pip> phlak_user, then how to edit menu.lst file ?
[11:06] <TecnicoDPC> #linuxjournal
[11:06] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: thanks for your help
[11:06] <phlak_user> Pip: there is no menu.lst file; edit /etc/default/grub and run update-grub2
[11:06] <{BG}Barbarian> Dr_Willis: how do I know I need server edition?
[11:07] <EgyParadox> QuiltPants: you can access it through port forwarding without any DynDNS.
[11:07] <qm7> phlak_user: you get that?
[11:07] <EgyParadox> account
[11:07] <wildbat> {BG}Barbarian, if you don't know then you don't need it
[11:07] <phlak_user> qm7: yes; cant make out anything :)
[11:08] <alkemann> phlak_user: yea ithink this taskel install failed completely. following the instructions on how to include phpmyadmin if i get 404, im told the file doesnt exist
[11:08] <EgyParadox> QuiltPants: np
[11:08] <phlak_user> qm7: though there are errors thrown when DMA read occurs
[11:08] <mechdave> {BG}Barbarian, you only need the server edition if you want to run a mail,database or web server just to mention a few
[11:08] <Mojodojo> Is there a way to disable disconnected/joined channel messages in the chatroom?
[11:08] <alkemann> I love how to the instructions tell you to "use any method" to install the following. that's kinda avoiding the content of the install instructions, imho ;)
[11:09] <thune3> qm7: can i see
[11:09] <mechdave> {BG}Barbarian, there is no GUI with the server edition
[11:09] <oCean_> alkemann: what client are you using? Xchat? then rght click on channel tab > settings
[11:09] <well_laid_lawn> Mojodojo: depends on the chat client you use
[11:09] <phlak_user> alkemann: you could try re-installing with sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
[11:09] <qm7> thune3: just sent it
[11:09] <drygrain> score of 237 in open yahtzee!
[11:10] <drygrain> :)
[11:10] <alkemann> oCean_: no default .. ephinay or something
[11:10] <oCean_> alkemann: ah, don't know about that client.
[11:10] <alkemann> phlak_user: sais it is already installed
[11:11] <oCean_> alkemann: of course it is. Did you see my previous post?
[11:11] <Mojodojo> I'm using empathy for my IRC is there a way to remove joined and left messages from people?
[11:11] <phlak_user> alkemann: check whether enabled and reload apache using oCean_ 's instructions
[11:11] <giuseppe_> join picasa
[11:11] <phlak_user> alkemann: --> (sudo a2enmod php5) and apache is restarted (sudo apache2ctl restart)

[11:12] <qm7> phlak_user: did you see the line about "Airflow_Temperature_Cel"?
[11:12] <alkemann> "The Alias directive in /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf at line 3 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier Alias.
[11:12] <alkemann> httpd not running, trying to start"
[11:13] <oCean_> giuseppe_: maybe ask in #xubuntu
[11:13] <alkemann> but yea things seems to be up and running now!
[11:13] <giuseppe_> oCean_, ok... thanks a lot
[11:14] <thune3> qm7: you have 10 pending "bad" sectors
[11:14] <qm7> thune3: what does that mean?
[11:15] <Mojodojo> I have an ATI 4650 anyone else experiencing flickering with black lines with Ubuntu 10.04 this seemed to be a past issue that was fixed with 9.10 but I cant find anything for 10.04
[11:15] <thune3> qm7: it means that 10 separate 512-byte blocks have thrown read errors, but cannot be auto corrected by the drive because they have unreadable data in them.
[11:15] <bovv> hi
[11:15] <qm7> thune3: does that mean physical damage or something else
[11:16] <bovv> I just installed Lucid and my Gnome panel is locked so I cannot move or remove anything.  How can I unlock the panel?
[11:16] <raven> how to use ifconfig for manual config of eth0 (ip, dns, ...)?
[11:16] <bovv> raven: ifconfig eth0 IPADDR
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> bovv:  is this the netbook editiion?
[11:17] <gooooooonah> Hi, I have problem enabling wifi on Dell M2300
[11:17] <bovv> Dr_Willis: yes.
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> thats why then bovv.
[11:17] <raven> bovv, but it wont be saved until next reboot and there is no dns specified
[11:17] <mechdave> raven, try opening a terminal and type man ifconfig that will give you the documentation for ifconfig
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> bovv:  only fix ive seen is to basically set up the gnome-desktop to clone the netbook edition layout.
[11:17] <phlak_user> bovv: at login, you can select GNome instead of Netbook as session
[11:18] <Dr_Willis> bovv:  but thats not much of a fix. If you want to cistomuze the netbook setup - thats how you have to do it
[11:18] <bovv> Dr_Willis: how does one do that?
[11:18] <thune3> qm7: drives as they get older start to develop bad blocks. most people just get a new drive. i've corrected bad-blocks before and put a fan on the drive
[11:18] <sachael> anyone remember the name of a small console utility that can make the taskbar button of the console flash (wanting attention)
[11:18] <Dr_Willis> bovv:  i saw it discussed at the webupd8.org web site once a few months back.
[11:18] <qm7> thune3: would I be able to succesfully backup the entire drive?
[11:19] <Dr_Willis> bovv:  or search for 'unlock netbook panel'  there are several similer guides out
[11:20] <phlak_user> Dr_Willis: bovv i have installed the netbook edition on an eeepc and can login into a standard gnome session
[11:20] <mechdave> qm7, you could try doing it with dd
[11:20] <raven> how to use ifconfig for manual config of eth0 (ip, dns, ...)?
[11:20] <qm7> mechdave: whats that?
[11:20] <bovv> Dr_Willis: I'll give it a search.
[11:21] <Dr_Willis> bovv:  http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/how-to-add-remove-applets-from-gnome.html
[11:21] <phlak_user> raven its all done in /etc/network/interfaces if you are not using the networkmanager
[11:21] <EgyParadox> raven: Manual configuration using networkmanager can work also.
[11:21] <thune3> qm7: people have been recommending ddrescue for trouble files, but only 5KB of your drive is known bad, 99.999% will copy out just fine.
[11:22] <Hans_Henrik> when i compress files with winrar in "default settings", packagemanager has no problem extracting it, however when i choose options "best+solid", package-manager will say "archive type not supported", i guess thats a bug?
[11:22] <qm7> thune3: ok
[11:22] <thune3> qm7: or gddrescue
[11:22] <phlak_user> Hans_Henrik: could be losing its magic number
[11:22] <Mojodojo> anyone know why the ATI 4650 is causing the screen to flicker during bootup and when I open certain programs?
[11:22] <Hans_Henrik> phlak_user: what?
[11:22] <mechdave> qm7, dd is used to take an image of a partition
[11:22] <qm7> thune3: do i perform ddrescue before or after the backup?
[11:23] <phlak_user> Hans_Henrik: when you use the "best+solid" option, what does the command $file archive-name give you?
[11:23] <alkemann> how do I find a partition I created in windows? im currently running both with wubi
[11:23] <gooooooonah> alkemann: browse to the filesystem, then look in the host folder
[11:23] <alkemann> ah yea there thanks
[11:24] <phlak_user> Hans_Henrik: winrar??
[11:24] <qm7> mechdave: do i perform ddrescue before or after the backup?
[11:24] <bovv> Dr_Willis: thanks.... I'm gonna drop off to try this fix.
[11:25] <Pip> how to make gedit in read-only mode via command line ?
[11:25] <thune3> qm7: there are better experts than me on gddrescue, i believe that most people would recommened using it as the tool for backing up a trouble drive though
[11:25] <gooooooonah> still trying to enable wifi on wubi installed 10.04 on Dell M2300...
[11:26] <ikonia> !wifi | gooooooonah
[11:26] <{BG}Barbarian> I will be using my music player as USB drive (1,90 GB), the guide says I need a thumb disk of at least 2 GB, before I format all my music could someone give me an educated guess if this 1,90 GB will also be enough?
[11:26] <ikonia> {BG}Barbarian: should be, but tight
[11:26] <gooooooonah> ubottu: thanks - I'll drop out and read!
[11:27] <mechdave> qm7, ddrescue is an enhancement on dd
[11:27] <mechdave> qm7, have a look here --> http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> {BG}Barbarian:  that may not be  a device that can be 'booted'  from
[11:29] <Dr_Willis> {BG}Barbarian:  plug it in, and reboot, and check the 'boot options' to see if its even seen as a divice you can boot from
[11:29] <mechdave> {BG}Barbarian, I would recommend against using your mp3 player to use as a boot device
[11:30] <Hans_Henrik> phlak_user: dont get what you mean by "$file archive-name", shal i try to execute the archive file with the argument "archive-name"?
[11:30] <ikonia> mechdave: boot devices don't exist in the Linux world like the windows one
[11:31] <mic32> There is no way to restore the default configuration of iptables?
[11:31] <phlak_user> Hans_Henrik: replace "archive-name" with the name of the archive that you created
[11:31] <ikonia> mic32: default is everything open, so just disable it
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> mic32:  the default would be No rules...
[11:31] <mechdave> ikonia, I realise that, just my terminology sort of "crosses over" sometimes
[11:31] <schlaftier> Hans_Henrik: no, you should execute "file" with the archive file as argument. "File" is a utility that identifies the type of a file
[11:31] <bovv> Dr_Willis: thanks.... it turns out that I just needed to select the GNOME desktop and not the UNR desktop.... that came out from the article you recommended.  Thanks!
[11:31] <mic32> ikonia: how to disable?
[11:31] <{BG}Barbarian> okay
[11:31] <fluvvell> mic32, iptables -F should flush all rules
[11:32] <{BG}Barbarian> I'll see if I can get this plug in card usb stick working instead
[11:32] <phlak_user> bovv: isnt that what i said :)
[11:32] <ikonia> mic32: iptables -FX should do it just fine
[11:32] <Hans_Henrik> phlak_user: compiling.rar: RAR archive data, v1d, flags: Solid, os: Win32
[11:33] <bovv> phlak_user: now that you mention it, you did, didn't you.  Thanks, too. :-)
[11:33] <thune3> qm7: first, i'd just try backing up your critical data using your normal backup scheme
[11:33] <phlak_user> Hans_Henrik: ok so maybe package manager doesnt recognize the Solid flag; let me check
[11:33] <phlak_user> bovv: yw
[11:33] <mic32> ikonia: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
[11:33] <paulchain> anyone know how to fix the flickering Ubuntu does when you open certain programs or log in with the ATI 4650 video card?
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> for some rar archives - ive seen where you need the rar-NON free version,
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> In order to extract them
[11:34] <tkbros> is there any equalizer available for rhythm box media player?
[11:34] <phlak_user> Hans_Henrik: you could check with unrar if this happens
[11:34] <ikonia> mic32: drop the x
[11:34] <ikonia> X
[11:34] <vishaltelangre> Dr_Willis, in that situations, I do prefer winrar w/ winehq
[11:35] <naxa> if you had to choose, which is the best currently relatively new laptop for ubuntu? i'm interested in specific models, not "those which come preinstalled" 'couse I cannot really find fast info.
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> vishaltelangre:  done that a few times also.. but i rarely use rar these days.
[11:35] <ikonia> naxa: there is no best option, it's what you like, just keep in mind nvidia/ati/intel graphics support, same for wirless cards
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> naxa:  theres such a varity its  hard to Tell - I would stick to ones that have nvidia video. and then whatver wirless card you can find that has support.
[11:36] <naxa> ikonia: well I would prefer one with intel video and wireless cards. I also prefer acer, lenovo and dell
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> naxa:  i would avoide toshiba.
[11:36] <ikonia> naxa: ok - so investigate what you want then and shop around
[11:36] <phlak_user> naxa: this might be a starting point -->www.linux-laptop.net
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> naxa:  some Intel video chipsets have issues -  so watch out
[11:36] <paulchain> god I avoid intel at all cost when it comes to graphic cards
[11:36] <naxa> Dr_Willis: no toshiba then. nvidia is also ok but I don't want it to overheat. i'm not a gamer...
[11:36] <vishaltelangre> !info unrar-free | Dr_Willis
[11:37] <naxa> paulchain: i see maybe i should stick with nvidia
[11:37] <Dr_Willis> vishaltelangre:  ive seen archives that the unrar-free wont uncompress but the unrar-nonfree does.
[11:37] <naxa> phlak_user: thank you! it is too much to read for me just right now but i'll read it later
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> naxa:  check out the preintstalled linux machnes. and see what gpu/wireless they normally use. :) thats a start
[11:38] <vishaltelangre> Dr_Willis, then free archive extractors are fake liers, eh...!!! ;)
[11:38] <letrozko> Greetings, my ubuntu 10.04 amd 64 freezes randomly on my laptop. Is there a way to find why is this happening?
[11:38] <mic32> ikonia: after I have done this configuration http://pastebin.com/zNFcwaFc with iptables i couldnt download or pinging from the internet
[11:39] <ikonia> mic32: tr #iptables for rules support
[11:39] <naxa> Dr_Willis: my problem was that I cannot find which ones has preinstalled linux... how can I get a list
[11:39] <naxa> ?
[11:40] <mic32> ikonia: #iptables unable to join channel (invite only) :s
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> naxa:  check google and see what the various linux hardware sites sell
[11:41] <phlak_user> mic32: try ufw to get the iptables commands the way you want them
[11:41] <phlak_user> !ufw | mic32
[11:41] <naxa> Dr_Willis: i actually already had hard time with the too much information... could you provide me some link to a site like this, please? :) i always find *too much* info to handle
[11:41] <letrozko> My ubuntu 10.04 amd 64 freezes randomly on my laptop. Is there a way to find why is this happening?
[11:42] <ikonia> mic32: #netfilter
[11:42] <phlak_user> naxa: heres another one --> http://www.linuxcertified.com/linux_laptops.html
[11:42] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, http://blog.ichinmay.com/2010/05/03/ubuntu-10-04-upgrade-from-9-10-usb-keyboard-mouse-problem/
[11:42] <naxa> phlak_user: thank you very much
[11:42] <Dr_Willis> phlak_user:  now ya gave him too much info! :)
[11:42] <alkemann> if i try to use git in /var/www and using sudo, will it not look in ~/.ssh for my public key? I have it set up, but im getting permission denied
[11:42] <goddard> How do I edit the "connect to server" book marks in ubuntu "Places" menu?
[11:42] <phlak_user> Dr_Willis: this one has only laptops listed :)
[11:42] <letrozko> vishaltelangre, ????????
[11:43] <letrozko> vishaltelangre, I think you got the wrong person.
[11:43] <sebner> Does here anybody know how I can configure Azureus how many parallel downloads I want? There is only maximum downloads and maximum active torrents (But as I have a lot stuff I'm seeding it only downloads 1 at a time, it worked somehow with jaunty though)
[11:43] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, what problems you are facing?
[11:43] <phlak_user> Dr_Willis: this one has only *5 laptops listed :)
[11:43] <letrozko> vishaltelangre,  My problem is that my ubuntu 10.04 amd 64 on my laptop freezes randomly.
[11:44] <letrozko> vishaltelangre,  The laptop is ok, checked the temperatures, they are normal...is there a way to find out why it freezes randomly?
[11:44] <phlak_user> sebner: doesnt maximum active torrents indicate parallel downloads?
[11:44] <phlak_user> sebner: or uploads
[11:44] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, is your mouse and keyboard and other peripheral devices stucks/freezes when you logged in to your 10.04 machine?
[11:44] <goddard> How do I edit the "connect to server" book marks in ubuntu "Places" menu?
[11:45] <sebner> phlak_user: it's both, but when I have 5 maximum active torrents it seeds 4 and downloads 1 here, I'd rather have it the other way round or something in the middle
[11:45] <phlak_user> letrozko: it would help if you could narrow down to whether this is due to something that you do at that time
[11:45] <paulchain> anyone know how to fix the flickering Ubuntu does when you open certain programs or log in with the ATI 4650 video card?
[11:45] <letrozko> vishaltelangre,  Well let me tell you. I login, everything fine, I browser folders, everything fine, but suddently mouse stucks, sound stucks, everything stucks.
[11:46] <phlak_user> sebner: I dont know; maybe someone at azureus will know
[11:46] <letrozko> vishaltelangre,  It freezes randomly, one time I was in firefox listening to some music on youtube, and suddently freezed...
[11:46] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, Yeah right.. My friend also got same problems a few days ago, check the solution on his post, we fixed that: http://blog.ichinmay.com/2010/05/03/ubuntu-10-04-upgrade-from-9-10-usb-keyboard-mouse-problem/
[11:46] <sebner> phlak_user: kk, np
[11:46] <letrozko> vishaltelangre,  another time I was organising some folders...:|
[11:46] <phlak_user> letrozko: can you switch to console by pressing ctl-alt-f1 when the freeze occurs?
[11:47] <letrozko> phlak_user,  I can't do nothing, everything is stuck, sound, mouse cursore everything.
[11:47] <phlak_user> letrozko: another way would be to be logged in to the machine via ssh and tail the system log and see if anything crops up during the "freeze"
[11:47] <letrozko> vishaltelangre,  Well I do not have problems with my mouse and keyboard, that's what that link is from.
[11:48] <letrozko> phlak_user,  Ok, I will try that. How can I acces the log system via ssh?
[11:49] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, your devices' entries are not written in the *evdev.conf file in  /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d directory...
[11:49] <Etherael> jbd2/sda4-8 <--- this process is intermittently causing strange sounding disk IO, ubuntu 10.04, I think it's a journalling manager, is this a known issue?
[11:49] <phlak_user> letrozko: once you ssh in, type sudo tail -f /var/log/messages
[11:49] <letrozko> phlak_user,  thank you
[11:49] <Etherael> it's like a 3sec long segue of rapid hdd clicks.
[11:49] <Etherael> about once every 10 seconds.
[11:50] <letrozko> I hope I resolve this issue, it is so strange and my system is unstable because of this.
[11:50] <mechdave> Etherael, have you got smart configured in BIOS?
[11:50] <phlak_user> letrozko: all the best!
[11:51] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, your machine stucks might been because of your mouse/keyboard problems...
[11:51] <Etherael> mechdave, Not sure, whatever would be default on a fairly new system, dmesg would tell me right?
[11:51] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, no issues... Have a good time!
[11:51] <FrozenOne> Looking for some help with a 10.04 live install
[11:51] <letrozko> vishaltelangre,  well I'm runing ubuntu on a dell inspiron with a touchpad and obviously internal keyboard
[11:51] <taulant>  hello all !
[11:51] <letrozko> vishaltelangre,  ubuntu didn't stuck when i was on 9.10 that's strange.
[11:52] <letrozko> phlak_user,  the same!
[11:52] <Etherael> mechdave, http://pastie.org/992887
[11:52] <mechdave> Etherael, just a sec shall refresh my memory on SMART monitoring
[11:53] <kad_> hey all !! i have sony 64-bit process, can i install in it ubuntu 32-bit ?
[11:53] <FrozenOne> How do I get proprietary drivers to save on a live install?
[11:53] <jrib> kad_: no
[11:53] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, Yeah I'm also telling you same thing, on that blog the description about problem is not enough sufficient, but our problem exactly matching w/ your one's..
[11:53] <ikonia> FrozenOne: yse the hardware drivers tool, same as non-live
[11:53] <Dr_Willis> kad_:   clarify what you mnean.. Sony dosent Make CPU's last i checked.
[11:53] <letrozko> vishaltelangre,  ohh ok, I hope we get it fixed.
[11:53] <taulant>  letrozko, Yeah I'm also telling you same thing, on that blog the description about problem is not enough sufficient, but our problem exactly matching w/ your one's..
[11:53] <jrib> kad_: I assumed you meant software made by sony
[11:54] <FrozenOne> I did that, but when I rebooted they were not there
[11:54] <LjL> mechdave, Etherael: there's probably no need to enable SMART in the BIOS; you can install the "smartmontools" package, then run "smartctl -H" and/or "smartctl -A" to check the drive's state, and if it turns out SMART is not enabled, it can be enabvled with "smartctl -s on"
[11:54] <cdoublejj|afk> where can i find themes for ubuntu
[11:54] <kad_> jrib, no
[11:54] <jrib> !themes > cdoublejj|afk
[11:54] <jrib> kad_: then what did you mean?
[11:54] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, If you check that, and not found your these devices were not there, means you have to make manually write their entries there so as they work proper w/ your lappie!
[11:54] <Dr_Willis> cdoublejj|afk:  for GNOME you can install the gnomeart tool and install them. theres also dozens in the repos and various PPA repos
[11:54] <Etherael> LjL, What would SMART have to do with the symptom I'm talking about here? I don't see the connection?
[11:54] <taulant>  =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
[11:54] <jrib> taulant: please don't
[11:54] <Etherael> it's not the "click of death" noise, so I don't suspect hardware failure.
[11:54] <letrozko> taulant,  do not spam here
[11:54] <mechdave> LjL, Thanks, was looking for that :)
[11:55] <Etherael> also, it didn't happen in 9.10 and it doesn't happen in win7.
[11:55] <Etherael> so this makes me think it's a 10.04 specific issue.
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> anytime i hear hard drives making lots of clicking noises.. i get scared. :)
[11:55] <taulant> who is spamming here (am not xD )
[11:55] <FloodBot3> !netsplit
[11:55] <mechdave> Etherael, what LjL said :)
[11:55] <LjL> etherealite: i don't know, i was merely following up on mechdave - but i imagine that mechdave is thinking that a repeated-clicking sound from a drive might be due to the drive retrying reads or writes on some sector, which is often a symptom of a failing drive
[11:55] <kad_> jrib,  i got 64-bit process, and i have setup of ubuntu 32-bit!! what i meant ubuntu 32-bit can install on 64-bit
[11:55] <kad_> jrib, that what i meant
[11:55] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, our problem was, he upgraded to lucid from karmic... but after logging in every time, his computer gets stucked after some times..
[11:55] <Etherael> Dr_Willis, Yeah generally I agree, but this just sounds like a rapid sequential activity sequence in a 3 second span once every 10-20 seconds, and iotop shows that it's always this jbda2 process
[11:56] <paulchain> anyone know how to fix the flickering Ubuntu does when you open certain programs or log in with the ATI 4650 video card? sorry for reposting just trying to check every 10min or so if anyone new knows how to solve it :)
[11:56] <FrozenOne> Any idea why the hardware manager would not save proprietary drivers on a live install
[11:56] <Dr_Willis> kad_:  your use of the term '64bit process'  is a little confuseing
[11:56] <jrib> kad_: you mean a 64-bit processOR  I assume?
[11:56] <Etherael> LjL, Yeah that's why I don't think it's a failign drive, works in other OS'. This only happens specifically in ubuntu, and it coincides precisely with iotop shooting the jbda2 process right to the top.
[11:56] <Dr_Willis> FrozenOne:  how did you do the 'live install ' ?
[11:56] <Etherael> so I'm wondering if it's something new about the way journalling is configured in 10.04 ?
[11:57] <ackley> FrozenOne: because it's a live install that erases everything when you reboot.
[11:57] <kad_> jrib, yes
[11:57] <jrib> kad_: then yes, you should be able to install 32-bit ubuntu if that's what you want
[11:57] <kad_> jrib, aha thx =)
[11:57] <LjL> etherealite: well, there is ext4 that's new, or that may be new depending on what you used previously, i guess.
[11:57] <FrozenOne> Dr_Willis:  It is on a usb thumb drive.  I need a driver for my wireless card on my laptop
[11:57] <Dr_Willis> FrozenOne:  and i ask again.. HOW did you do this Live-Install? What tools?
[11:58] <kraut> moin
[11:58] <mechdave> Etherael, jbda2 is a fork of ext4 yes?
[11:58] <vishaltelangre> vishaltelangre, then to overcome this problem, we added the entries of missing devices such as mouse.keyboard etc via single user mode (alt+ctrl+F1 for this and alt+ctrl+f7 for GUI before log in window being shown)
[11:58] <FrozenOne> Dr_willis:  I used a program from windows
[11:58] <Etherael> For what it's worth though, here's smartctl -a /dev/sda (disk in question) http://pastie.org/992889
[11:58] <Etherael> mechdave, I'm not entirely sure actually.
[11:58] <bovv> My gnome-volume-control-applet is not auto starting.... any idea how to have it start auto-matically on login?
[11:58] <FrozenOne> dr_willis:  I forgot the name
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> FrozenOne:  IF you used unetbootin. then you need to set up a persistant 'save' file (a casperrw) file to have a peristant save file you can make changes to
[11:58] <Etherael> mechdave, my google fu has vague mentions toward links to journalling kernel management.
[11:59] <Dr_Willis> FrozenOne:  check out Pendrivelinux for other ways to automate the task
[11:59] <vishaltelangre> vishaltelangre, check that w/ your ones, tell what you get then after...!
[11:59] <FrozenOne> Dr_willis:  yea that is what I used
[11:59] <caac> jrib, are you on Gnome?
[11:59] <FrozenOne> dr_willis:  thanks I will check it out
[12:00] <vishaltelangre> ohir, I'm replying to myself instead of replying to letrozko!!! :D
[12:00] <imaginativeone> join #iphone-dev
[12:00] <jrib> caac: I'm never on gnome, just ask though :)
[12:00] <mechdave> Etherael, Maybe if you change it to ext3 or ext4?
[12:00] <caac> ok jrib, I still haven't found how to change that 2nd pass
[12:00] <mechdave> Etherael, how did you get it?
[12:00] <Etherael> mechdave, downloaded amd64, installed from USB key.
[12:00] <jrib> caac: oh.  Describe exactly when you get asked for it and ask the channel, someone may know
[12:00] <Etherael> it's already ext4.
[12:01] <Etherael> I didn't change fs options, it's just the 10.04 default.
[12:01] <svip> Why can't Ubuntu figure out to turn off my speakers when I have my headphones plugged in?
[12:01] <alkemann> using git on ubuntu, is there something special to consider. restart? done everything (created and posted my pub key) but get permission denied
[12:01] <jrib> svip: bug (did you search bugs.ubuntu.com?)
[12:01] <alkemann> trying to access my own repo on github
[12:01] <svip> jrib: I did not.
[12:01] <jrib> svip: that's where I would start
[12:01] <svip> jrib: Is it this stupid pulseaudio again?
[12:01] <imaginativeone> how do I make my running programs visible on the panel?
[12:01] <jrib> svip: I don't know
[12:01] <caac> well jrib, I'm the guy who wanted to make a new account and everything was ok except for the "keyring" it asks me when I'm logged in, I need to type the old pass again
[12:01] <paulchain> anyone know how to fix the flickering Ubuntu does when you open certain programs or log in with the ATI 4650 video card? sorry for reposting just trying to check every 10min or so if anyone new knows how to solve it :)
[12:01] <svip> jrib: I am going to remove it anyhow.  Pulseaudio is nothing but trouble.
[12:02] <jrib> svip: it has its uses
[12:02] <Rob215> hello
[12:02] <svip> jrib: Too many cons compared to its pros.
[12:02] <mechdave> Etherael, can you pastebin the output from sudo fdisk -l ? (that is a lower case L)
[12:02] <Rob215> I have a question
[12:02] <sjokkis> Rob215: so ask
[12:02] <imaginativeone> heh heh...
[12:02] <imaginativeone> how do I make my running programs visible on the panel?
[12:03] <bazhang> imaginativeone, something like conky, but on the panel?
[12:03] <Rob215> Is Wubi inside the ISO image or a separate download?
[12:03] <Etherael> mechdave, http://pastie.org/992895
[12:03] <imaginativeone> bazhang: don't know what conky is...
[12:04] <BPower> MikeChelen, Okay so I just split the file and was finally able to successfully transfer everything over to my other computer (running Ubuntu).  Now I need to join them again...  I can't find any documentation on how to do this via 7zip's command line....
[12:04] <ManateeLazyCat> Hi, all. I use Ubuntu 10.04 with Flash 10.1 r53, but it's always crash my desktop when i watch movie use browser. Flash crash when screen dark (long-time no input)
[12:04] <Rob215> Is Wubi inside the ISO image or a separate download?
[12:04] <imaginativeone> but I used to be able to see little rectangle icons on the panel
[12:04] <bazhang> imaginativeone, not sure what you mean then
[12:04] <ManateeLazyCat> So anyone have same situation? Or just me?
[12:04] <imaginativeone> which indicated that they were running
[12:04] <Rob215> ManateeLazyCat: Try Flash 10.0
[12:04] <ManateeLazyCat> Even install flashplugin-installer from source is same.
[12:04] <imaginativeone> ManateeLazyCat: I recently had that problem
[12:04] <ManateeLazyCat> Rob215: Same.
[12:05] <sjokkis> Rob215: how do you expect to use wubi to download the iso, of it's inside the iso?
[12:05] <imaginativeone> my hd had bad sectors
[12:05] <dartt> download chrome it is having inbuilt flash player
[12:05] <ManateeLazyCat> Rob215: Flash 10.0 crash, so i try 10.1, but same crash.
[12:05] <imaginativeone> what is conky?
[12:05] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: I use Chromium.
[12:06] <dartt> try chrome it may help u
[12:06] <Rob215> sjokkis: I just want to download the ISO but I want Wubi inside it? Is Wubi inside the 32-bit Ubuntu 10.4 ISO
[12:06] <sjokkis> Rob215: no
[12:06] <alkemann> ah I have to use http when using git on ubuntu?
[12:06] <ackley> It isn't? It was for me.
[12:07] <vishaltelangre> !info conky | imaginativeone
[12:07] <imaginativeone> to sort through my running programs, I have to use ALT+TAB
[12:07] <sjokkis> Rob215: actually, yes. probably
[12:07] <sjokkis> Rob215: there are directions. follow them
[12:07] <sjokkis> anyone know where to find MD5 hashes for the lucid ISOs?
[12:07] <alkemann> they way phpmyadmin is added to the localhost (ie not being in /var/www) can I do the same for my own apps (this is a dev machine, not a pub server)
[12:07] <mechdave> Etherael, what are you doing when this happens?
[12:08] <mechdave> Etherael, noise
[12:08] <Etherael> mechdave, typically the more idle the system is, the better chance of it happening.
[12:08] <Rob215> sjokkis: The website is messed up
[12:08] <Etherael> mechdave, the more active the system is, the lower the chance.
[12:08] <imaginativeone> I just want to see what is running
[12:08] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: I don't think it can help me, It's a problem of Flash, even Chrome, i think Flash is also will crash it.
[12:08] <imaginativeone> without having to ALT+TAB
[12:08] <Etherael> (or perhaps when active, it just doesn't stick out amongst the normal disk noises)
[12:09] <Rob215> Out to Lunch
[12:09] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: The real problem is not crash browser, it's crash gnome make me restart system.
[12:09] <dartt> hmm...try disabling hardware acceleration in flash settings
[12:10] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: It's just crash when i watch flash movie and screen power-off (long-time no maintain).
[12:10] <EgyParadox> !md5
[12:10] <EgyParadox> sjokkis
[12:10] <jrib> caac: you can't right click on "Passwords: login" and select "change password"?
[12:10] <imaginativeone> aaahhh...figured it out
[12:10] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: From my situation, i think Flash maybe have have some bug with Ubuntu 10.04 and not just care browser.
[12:10] <imaginativeone> I wanted to Add a Window List to the panel
[12:11] <caac> jrib, sweet!!!! that works
[12:11] <ManateeLazyCat> imaginativeone: Any luck?
[12:11] <sjokkis> EgyParadox: thanks
[12:11] <Etherael> this guy seems to have the exact same problem as me; http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1489637
[12:11] <imaginativeone> ManateeLazyCat: with what?
[12:11] <vishaltelangre> imaginativeone, right click on panel -> add to pannel -> window list
[12:11] <dartt> go to chromium options, under the hood, content settings, flash settings...a new page wil open in browser....disable hardware acceleration from there....just try it once....if u can't make it..then there gonna be big problem
[12:11] <Dr_Willis> caac:  they sort of hide that setting :)
[12:11] <ManateeLazyCat> imaginativeone: For avoid this problem, i need always typing something avoid screen power-off to crash desktop.
[12:12] <ManateeLazyCat> imaginativeone: Flash crash desktop
[12:12] <imaginativeone> thanks
[12:12] <imaginativeone> vishaltelangre: thanks
[12:12] <caac> Dr_Willis, apparently yeah, I have a pass for my network and 2 for "desktop couch", what are the ones for desktop couch?
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> caac:  no idea
[12:12] <vishaltelangre> imaginativeone you're welcome! :)
[12:13] <caac> ok Dr_Willis
[12:15] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: Why do you think it's a problem of "hardware acceleration"? Can you explain it?
[12:16] <dartt> yeah maybe coz when i use 3d interface of une , my laptop crashes but 2d interface works fine
[12:17] <dartt> its bcoz there may be no hardware acceleration
[12:17] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: The strangle thing is flash just crash when screen dark.
[12:17] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: If i always typing keyboard (avoid screen dark), flash won't crash.

[12:18] <rohan> u/q
[12:18] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: So i think it's a bug of flash somewhere.
[12:18]  * ManateeLazyCat I hope i won't use Flash anymore, use html5 forever....
[12:19] <dartt> hmm...may be...than change ur power settings...n turn off the blank or dark screen

[12:20] <Tecna> I've just installed 10.04, and now when I boot, the screen shuts off when plymouth starts.  I'm using ye olde nvidia geforce2 mx400
[12:20] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: Yes, i was think about it. I have change my power setting that "never off", but i don't know why screen still power-off .
[12:20] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: Looks "power-settings"  can't work.
[12:21] <krishna_> I connected to my friend via team viewer and changed the resolution in the team viewer menu. but now, he is not gotting the mouse pointer all. He restarted and tried the recovery mode by booting in low graphics mode and then to reconfigure graphics. please provide me with commands so that i can tell him over phone and make him enter in root terminal that is in recovery menu.
[12:21] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: Screen still will dark even i have set it.
[12:21] <fgg> is the screen locked up but does the computer work?
[12:22] <krishna_> fgg,  yes.
[12:22] <krishna_> fgg, only the mouse pointer does not appear. but he can move it with guess and icons highlight ,.. the problem is that the arrow does not appear for him
[12:23] <krishna_> fgg, he can use his terminal and enter commands .
[12:23] <krishna_> fgg, his keyboard works. mouse works. i.e the icons highlight when he tries to move the mouse. he can move it to shutdown menu and anywhere but the arrow is not appearing.. .
[12:23] <Tecna> where's ubottu?
[12:24] <dartt> ManateeLazyCat: in power settings click on make it defualt
[12:24] <Out`Of`Control> What is a good tool to convert audio files?
[12:24] <phlak_user> !hi| Techna
[12:24] <krishna_> Tecna, why do you want a bot ?
[12:24] <fgg> and he has no idea what is causing the mouse to disappear?
[12:24] <krishna_> fgg, i changed the resolution in teamviewer's hovering menu.. his resolution changed.
[12:24] <krishna_> but his pointer vanished
[12:25] <phlak_user> krishna_: can this help --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=628028
[12:25] <Tecna> krishna_: because no humans are answering me.
[12:25] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: Oh, do you mean "power setting" just update when i click "make it default" ?
[12:25] <fgg> is this a desktop or laptop?
[12:25] <dartt> yeah...try it
[12:25] <krishna_> phlak_user, it's about Gusty. he uses Lucid lynx
[12:25] <Out`Of`Control> any one?
[12:25] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: Thanks,
[12:25] <mechdave> Etherael, Interesting...  You don't have any swap configured... I wonder if that is a factor?
 Etherael, I don't know where to go, except maybe install and run the smarttools just to see what pops up, maybe Windows isn't picking it up... That's all I can think of, usually when a hard drive starts to die it will let out a staccato chatter
 Etherael, sound
 Etherael, Another thought, maybe the error is actually on part of the disk that is in the Linux partition therefore windows will not access that part of the drive due to it not seeing the Linux partition
[12:26] <FloodBot2> mechdave: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:26] <krishna_> fgg, ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx desktop edition.
[12:26] <dartt> m not sure...try it though
[12:26] <krishna_> mechdave, please use paste.ubuntu.com
[12:26] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: If this can work, my flash won't crash, even bug still at there.
[12:26] <phlak_user> krishna_: the logic is the same, if its an nvidia card; that link advises you to turn off hardware cursor on he GeoForce 6100 card
[12:26] <dartt> stay idle for few minutes n check it
[12:26] <krishna_> phlak_user, he uses no graphics card.
[12:27] <Rob215> FloodBot2
[12:27] <mechdave> Be alright if I didn't get disconnected!
[12:27] <phlak_user> krishna_: so you might want to start from the beginning
[12:27] <phlak_user> !details
[12:27] <Etherael> mechdave, hmm, I'm more prone to think it's the journalling kernel manager doing frequent buffer flushes to disk.
[12:27] <krishna_> phlak_user, he has a core 2 duo processor.
[12:27] <Etherael> mechdave, iotop is showing all the jbd2 activity as writes.
[12:27] <krishna_> phlak_user, what does "beginning" mean
[12:27] <krishna_> ?
[12:27] <Etherael> mechdave, And no errors are actually being reported.
[12:27] <phlak_user> krishna_: start with providing information on the configuration of his machine
[12:28] <dartt> krishna ur frnd got a laptop or desktop...
[12:28] <fgg> does he have another mouse, sometimes a bad mouse can cause weird problems, or a mouse interacting with a touchpad
[12:28] <mechdave> Etherael, whichever way it surely is not good for your disk to have it hammer like that
[12:28] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: I'm curious why "power setting" don't told me i need update it with administor permission if "make it default" is necessary. It's design is confuse user.
[12:28] <Etherael> mechdave, THat's the other thing, the amount of data being written to the disk per minute is actually ~100k.
[12:28] <Etherael> so although it sounds like it's significant, perhaps it really isn't.
[12:28] <Etherael> the light is not hard-on for example
[12:28] <Etherael> the sound is just really weird.
[12:29] <its-me-again> hi where is the sorce.lst file found
[12:29] <Etherael> not like thrashing solid, but like a regular spaced write / read proc.
[12:29] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: Thanks for your help, i will stop typing now for test "power settings". :)
[12:29] <fgg> and the pointer doesn't show right away, even before logging in?
[12:29] <dartt> ManateeLazyCat: yeah i dunno abt tat...y it is so...also u can download n intasll ubuntu tweak...it has some tweaks for power settings
[12:30] <Pip> What's the best way to upgrade ubuntu from 9.10 to 10.04LTS ?
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> its-me-again:  /etc/apt/    check the apt-get manuals/docs befor messing with that file
[12:30] <Pip> Safe, clean and simple
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> !upgrade | pip
[12:30] <Pip> thanks
[12:30] <krishna_> phlak_user, is it possible to edit the xorg file ??   he will tell me the configuration. please wait
[12:31] <mechdave> Etherael, To be honest, the only time I have heard the hard drive hammer is just before it dies... usually it is just a sound from the stepper motor on the head on the older drives... The newer ones are virtually silent, to hear them I need to have the covers off my tower and have it next to me on the desktop
[12:31] <Etherael> mechdave, This is a notebook harddrive, and the sound is nothing like I've heard a drive make before.
[12:31] <vishaltelangre> All freezes here... dartt, what a magic man!!! :)
[12:31] <Etherael> I'm very familiar with the click of death sound.
[12:31] <Etherael> it's nothing like that.
[12:32] <dartt> its working?
[12:32] <mechdave> Etherael, how is it different?
[12:32] <its-me-again> thanks dr_
[12:32] <its-me-again> thanks Dr_Willis
[12:33] <dartt> vishal wat u mean?
[12:33] <phlak_user> krishna_: yes
[12:34] <Etherael> mechdave, ok, you know when a disk is full thrash on a read or write, the clicks are somewhat random, yes?
[12:34] <Etherael> this is like a frequency of about 10-20 ticks per second with exactly precise spacing between them.
[12:34] <Etherael> for a duration of 3 seconds.
[12:34] <{BG}Barbarian> I wish to upload a support image, is imageshack.us a good host, or is there some recommended paste bin for images?
[12:34] <Etherael> exactly, every time.

[12:40] <krishna_> phlak_user, can you give me a command to recongigure x ?
[12:40] <krishna_> *configure
[12:40] <Zeu5> hi i have a problem
[12:40] <Zeu5> previously my ubuntu was working just fine
[12:40] <fgg> that would be more complicated, the internet machine has 2 netowkr boards and you plug the second host into the linux machine
[12:40] <Zeu5> after i did a update, my screen went blank
[12:40] <Zeu5> i then logged in with another user account, it was okay
[12:40] <well_laid_lawn> basy: is there a link for it in /etc/rc2.d?
[12:40] <fgg> you make the linux machine a router/firewall. its better to get a router/firewall
[12:41] <Zeu5> but when i change the resolution of that user account to 1024 X768 it went blank like my fiurst admin account
[12:41] <Zeu5> can someone tell me how do i fix this issue?
[12:41] <Zeu5> thank you.
[12:41] <fgg> you might have old configuration files around,
[12:41] <mechdave> Etherael, Can you create a swap partition on your disk roughly the same size as the amount of ram on your system?
[12:41] <fgg> in your home directory
[12:42] <Etherael> mechdave, I could.
[12:42] <fgg> i would renamee your current home directory as root and then log back in and move your files back carefully
[12:43] <basy> well_laid_lawn: yes it is there, i need to delete that file? and than i can simple start postgres with /etc/init.d/posgresql start (stop) ???
[12:43] <krishna_> can anyone give me a command to reconfigure  x ?
[12:43] <mechdave> Etherael, I wonder if because you don't have a swap it is doing something funny
[12:44] <lumen> :)
[12:44] <well_laid_lawn> basy: if you rename that link so it starts with K instead of S it won't start after boot
[12:44] <well_laid_lawn> basy: that's a capital K
