[17:58] <azm> even if I change encoding locally
[17:58] <raisin123> ActionParsnip: Hey, I just visited the site. I have already gone on this few days back. The problem is, I already installed and tried around 10 games. Didn't like any of them. So if you could tell me some popular/good game.
[17:59] <wechat_> ActionParsnip: Debian is 'the rock upon which Ubuntu is built'
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> raisin123: urban terror and penumbra rock imho :)
[18:00] <azm> anyone ?
[18:00] <Dr_Willis> wechat_:  dosent matter.. Debian has its own support channel.
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> wechat_: yes but its not supported here, similarly if you ask for ubuntu support in debian you will be told to come here
[18:00] <kivod> hello
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> wechat_: similarly, all the Ubuntu spinoffs you can name are NOT supported here either

[18:06] <nikitis> Anyone know how to remap a usb mic button to something else.  It's currently outputting the same key event id as the left mouse button on my mouse.

[18:07] <ActionParsnip> okapi14: kmplayer and smplayer are the same difference

[18:12] <nikitis> Dr_Willis, I have a RAT7 gaming mouse already manually mapped in xorg.conf.  it's identified by using it's ID listed in a dmesg event when unplugging the usb.  Could I do the same and map it to a null event?  Since I really don't need it to do anything.  All it does is turn on the mic
[18:13] <Dr_Willis> nikitis:  proberly could. or remap it to some useless key.
[18:13] <nikitis> Dr_Willis, right, but what key would be useless?
[18:13] <Dr_Willis> nikitis:  or remap it to whatever 'activate voice' key  is used
[18:13] <Dr_Willis> nikitis:  its yoru system. You tell me... :)
[18:13] <nikitis> Dr_Willis, lol all my keys are valuable

[18:15] <Dr_Willis> NCS_One:  try the 'set' or 'env' commands
[18:15] <oscar> ActionParsnip: http://www.pastie.org/1617671
[18:15] <azm> Dr_Willis, not font but encoding, I meed windows 1250 or something like this for subtitles

[18:16] <skullboy> Dr_Willis: when i switch from tty1 to tty7 and than back to tty1 there is no gui on tty1
[18:16] <gartral|watcher> Dr_Willis: example?

[18:18] <ActionParsnip> sandking: I'd just recovery everything then delete what you dont need
[18:18] <Dr_Willis> azm: export VARIABLENAME  newvalue
[18:18] <Dr_Willis> azm:  then run any new apps you want to use the new value
[18:18] <Dr_Willis> azm:  or from a single line ->   FOO=value commandtorun
[18:18] <sandking> ActionParsnip, yeah but my issue is that i need to recover from laptop and i dont know if i need to pull the HD out or can i do it via networking?
[18:19] <NCS_One> Dr_Willis: isn't there one for the current app running on the terminal?
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> gartral|watcher: you can use imagemagic using: sleep 10; import ~/MyScreenshot.png
[18:19] <Dr_Willis> NCS_One:  one what?
[18:19] <NCS_One> variable
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> sandking: use a liveCD and you can spit the recovered data to a network share / FTP server etc
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> gartral|watcher: the sleep 10, gives you a little while to setup the screen
[18:20] <sandking> it seems files weren't copied on pendrive at all and where wiped somewhere when copying them

[18:20] <Dr_Willis> skullboy:  ive not used dual X servers in proberly 5+ years...

[18:21] <xorxorxor>
[18:21] <xorxorxor> if any of you lives in bay area, you should come to Soda hall in UC Berkeley and check why the wifi continually disconnects every 1 minute
[18:21] <skullboy> ok
[18:21] <Dr_Willis> skullboy:  try making the X sessions start differnt window maangers or desktops and check their logs.
[18:21] <azm> ActionParsnip, what is it ?
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> xorxorxor: when it drops, run:  dmesg | tail   it will give clues
[18:22] <gartral|watcher> [thor]: i know :P
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> azm: a later version
[18:22] <xorxorxor> ok
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[18:22] <[thor]> gartral|watcher: :D just covering all the bases, since you asked for a commandline i think.

[18:30] <rhadamanthys> ive searched a lot and cant find a definate conclusion about the iphone4 and ubuntu working together.
[18:30] <javahorn> ActionParsnip:  Samsung R418
[18:30] <endlesspuddingcu> thinkt510: so just change dev/sda1 to dev/sdb1 in grub?
[18:30] <IdleOne> !ops | Mad-Scientist
[18:30] <rhadamanthys> !users
[18:30] <ThinkT510> endlesspuddingcu: yes, but if you want to make the change permenant you need to edit some files after boot
[18:30] <javahorn> ActionParsnip:  what further, it was quite OK, till last nite, after installation!!!
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> javahorn: add the boot option:    acpi_backlight=vendor
[18:31] <javahorn> ActionParsnip: where?
[18:31] <endlesspuddingcu> thinkt510: but i want to know why it changed in the first place and be able to mount the filesystem again
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> javahorn: in /etc/default/grub  in the quotes with: quiet splash   after you save the new file, run: sudo update-grub
[18:31] <oscar> ActionParsnip: did you see the data? http://www.pastie.org/1617671

[18:32] <ThinkT510> endlesspuddingcu: did you recently put a new harddisk in (i'm guessing its a desktop system)
[18:32] <endlesspuddingcu> thinkt510: no it's a laptop, and it's two years old. there have been problems with it in the past though
[18:33] <javahorn> ActionParsnip: i should try second option first, as samsung?
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> oscar: try adding: options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad     to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf    and reboot
[18:33] <xorxorxor> omg thanks so much actionparsnip!!
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> xorxorxor: ;)
[18:33] <ThinkT510> endlesspuddingcu: are you sure ubuntu is on /dev/sdb (sdb usually means second harddisk)
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> xorxorxor: np bro
[18:33] <xorxorxor> i've been struggling with this prob since 2009

[18:35] <ActionParsnip> xorxorxor: hahaha like it]
[18:35] <maccc> i want 1.6 to upgrade to 1.9
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> maccc: I wouldnt use it unless you know what you are doing
[18:35] <ki__> Hi
[18:35] <maccc> 1.9 is stable right? just dont know how to do it
[18:35] <ThinkT510> endlesspuddingcu: that is unusual, being a laptop you only have one drive so it should come up as sda
[18:35] <jrib> maccc: what version of ubuntu?
[18:35] <maccc> 10.04.2 lts
[18:36] <endlesspuddingcu> ThinkT510: yes it was, but it has changed!
[18:36] <jrib> maccc: upgrade to maverick and you'll have 1.9.0
[18:36] <ki__> I have a webcam on my laptop. I'd like to make the output of the webcam equal to the youtube video playing. I think I need webcam admin tool or something. Any advice?
[18:36] <jrib> !upgrade | maccc
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> ki__: so therefor showing the viewer your youtube vid?
[18:36] <maccc> 10.04 is lts ... that is why i want this one
[18:36] <ThinkT510> endlesspuddingcu: i can't think of what would cause that, you haven't changed anything in the bios?
[18:37] <ki__> ActionParsnip: yes, exactly
[18:37] <jrib> maccc: what does lts mean to you?
[18:37] <jrib> !who | maccc
[18:37] <maccc> long term support .... more stable by now
[18:37] <javahorn> ActionParsnip:  in /etc/default/grub  in the quotes with: quiet splash   after you save the new file, run: sudo update-grub +acpi_backlight=samsung , what is the complete command as samsung link is for fedora , does not work!!
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> javahorn: no, the option is: acpi_backlight=vendor    not acpi_backlight=samsung
[18:38] <jrib> maccc: if you want more recent software then you don't want to run lts.  Use ubuntu 10.10 maverick,  it's the latest stable release of ubuntu and has the version of Xorg you want
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> javahorn: change "quiet splash"  to   "acpi_backlight=samsung quiet splash"
[18:39] <javahorn> ActionParsnip:  i go to /etc/default/grub  and then run  this command which you just wrote?
[18:39] <adamkex> does anybody know any software for recovering old files on broken/reformatted harddrives?
[18:39] <brainfart> hey everyone. so ive got a question.... i just installed ubuntu for the first time. and im wondering what program i can use for IRC
[18:39] <rhadamanthys> brainfart, im using irssi throught he terminal
[18:40] <Timmmm> Hello, how on earth do I apply the patches in <source_package>/debian/patches  to the package?
[18:40] <javahorn> ActionParsnip:  i can not even go to /etc/default/grub !!
[18:40] <Timmmm> I installed quilt, but I can't work out the options...
[18:40] <maccc> !jrib is 10.10 updated regularry ?
[18:41] <okapi14> actionParsnip: how can I install HARDWARE DRIVER MANAGER?
[18:41] <brainfart> irssi through the terminal.... how should i go about that?
[18:41] <jrib> maccc: it receives security updates just like 10.04 does, yes
[18:41] <cardplayer> hey guys tryin to install ubuntu and dual boot with windows 7 on my laptop i have my 320 gb hard drive partitioned into 2 drives when i try to boot off the ubuntu disk and get the the screen where it deals with partitioning it shows my partitions but the size of the partitions it shows are not correct and i cannot tell what partition is what i dont want to nuke my windows partition when i have the other partition completly free any
[18:41] <javahorn> ActionParsnip:  i manage to go to /etc/default
[18:41] <jrib> brainfart: install the irssi package (sudo apt-get install irssi), then run it with the "irssi" command (see docs irssi.org)
[18:42] <rhadamanthys> what jrib said
[18:42] <dunkert`> esp -c server
[18:42] <dunkert`> ;]
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> javahorn: run:  gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub    you now have write access
[18:42] <MK`> When the next stable release comes out, will I have any trouble updated from 10.10?
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> MK`: should be fine
[18:42] <endlesspuddingcu> Does anyone know how to change a /dev/sdb1 filesystem back into sda? Because it changed for some reason
[18:42] <jrib> endlesspuddingcu: just use UUIDs
[18:42] <MK`> can I keep using Shell?
[18:42] <jrib> MK`: of course
[18:43] <adamkex> does anybody know any software for recovering old files on broken/reformatted harddrives?
[18:43] <MK`> The other changes seem like they won't affect me
[18:43] <jrib> MK`: wait, what do you mean by "Shell"?
[18:43] <MK`> I don't use Rythmbox and I already have LibreOffice
[18:43] <MK`> Gnome
[18:43] <MK`> GNOME*
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> endlesspuddingcu: adamkex foremost is good
[18:43] <Timmmm> nm got it!
[18:43] <endlesspuddingcu> jrib: can you tell me how to do that?
[18:44] <mkeath> would anyone be able to venture a guess as to why my dual monitor settings aren't being saved?
[18:44] <jrib> endlesspuddingcu: why did sda1 becoming sdb1 affect you?  What were you trying to accomplish?
[18:44] <cardplayer> ::sighs:::
[18:44] <rhadamanthys> mkeath, mine were doing the same thing. are you running an nvidia card?
[18:45] <endlesspuddingcu> jrib: it changed without me doing anything, and now I can't mount the filesystem anymore, so I'm guessing it's because of that. I'm using the livecd now to fix it
[18:45] <MK`> I don't mean to ask dumb questions, I'm just brand new to Ubuntu
[18:45] <jrib> cardplayer: mount the partitions and figure out which one is which that way
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> endlesspuddingcu: ubuntu uses blkid now so the device name is moot
[18:45] <MK`> Updating on windows has made me paranoid
[18:45] <jrib> endlesspuddingcu: the issue is with your fstab?
[18:45] <mkeath> rhadamanthys, no it's ati
[18:45] <mkeath> but what did you have to do?
[18:45] <cardplayer> linux noob how do i mount a partiton while in setup
[18:45] <jrib> MK`: ask #ubuntu+1 what the current status of using gnome shell in natty is
[18:46] <MK`> ah is that the unstable channel?
[18:46] <jrib> cardplayer: you can just click on it in nautilus
[18:46] <tuzlo> I am getting an error message when installing phpbb thru USC. http://pastebin.com/QgDYKegZ, I know this is spanning mysql, phpbb and the installer can someone have a loook at that and maybe point me in the right direction
[18:46] <endlesspuddingcu> jrib: i'm guessing it is
[18:46] <cardplayer> nautilus is the gui i get when booting from the cd?
[18:46] <jrib> !uuid | endlesspuddingcu
[18:46] <rhadamanthys> i had to open my nvidia control panel on every restart and it loaded them again, mine were different resolutions and i used twinview, upon an update to ubuntu it just corrected itself
[18:46] <javahorn> ActionParsnip: 'acpi_backlight=samsung quiet splash -- Make this new entry  grub file which opens after running that command and run update as there is NO default entry of quiet splash!!
[18:47] <BluesKaj> cardplayer, have you tried to resize and create a new partition for ubuntu ?
[18:47] <rhadamanthys> always confused me
[18:47] <MK`> cardplayer in 10.10 yeah
[18:47] <jrib> endlesspuddingcu: then just replace /dev/sda1 with UUID=longstringofcharactersthatcomposeyouruuid
[18:47] <jrib> cardplayer: nautilus is the file browser
[18:47] <endlesspuddingcu> jrib: where?
[18:47] <mkeath> oh ok
[18:47] <mkeath> well i am going to see if there are any updates available
[18:47] <_skpl> does anyone know if there is a way to make my background fade in when gnome starts?
[18:47] <jrib> endlesspuddingcu: in /etc/fstab
[18:48] <cardplayer> ok ill she what i can do here
[18:48] <jrib> endlesspuddingcu: if you're not sure the issue is there, then it could be grub
[18:48] <mkeath> speak of the devil there are
[18:48] <rhadamanthys> :)
[18:48] <red2kic> _skpl: Do something productive instead of toying around. :)
[18:49] <endlesspuddingcu> jrib: but I can't access /etc/fstab because I can't mount my hard disk
[18:49] <jrib> endlesspuddingcu: why not?
[18:49] <javahorn> ActionParsnip: 'acpi_backlight=samsung quiet splash -- Make this new entry  grub file which opens after running that command and run update as there is NO default entry of quiet splash!!
[18:50] <endlesspuddingcu> jrib: because I don't know. I think because it changed from sda to sdb
[18:50] <jrib> endlesspuddingcu: why would that matter?  Just use sdb1 instead of sda1 to mount it
[18:50] <endlesspuddingcu> jrib: but how?
[18:50] <jrib> endlesspuddingcu: use a live cd
[18:51] <endlesspuddingcu> jrib: I am using one right now
[18:51] <endlesspuddingcu> jrib: I can't check and repair the disk using GParted, it gives me errors
[18:51] <jrib> endlesspuddingcu: I didn't tell you to, I'm not even sure what that does
[18:51] <_skpl> red2kic: i only ask because i had a login background set using ubuntu-tweak, but the option has dissapeared from the program. strange, huh? crippleware perhaps?
[18:51] <jhford> can someone running 32-bit ubuntu please run 'file /usr/lib' for me?
[18:52] <maddler> anyone with a Gobi 2000 wwan modem?
[18:52] <cjohnston> DBO: ping
[18:52] <DBO> pong
[18:52] <endlesspuddingcu> jrib: normally it makes me able to mount the disk again
[18:52] <jrib> jhford: that's a directory...
[18:52] <michiwend> maddler, jap whats the matter?
[18:52] <jhford> jrib, i know
[18:52] <jhford> i want to see if it is a symlink on 32bit systems
[18:52] <cjohnston> DBO: your class starts in ~8 minutes..
[18:52] <quantumlemur> hey, I'm using ubuntu netbook remix, and I'd like to either A) unlock the panel so that I can add in new applets, or B) use the netbook menubar panel in a normal gnome session, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do either one after extensive google searching.  anyone have any tips?
[18:52] <DBO> cjohnston, thanks :)
[18:52] <jhford> (on 64bit systesms, /usr/lib is a symlink to /usr/lib64
[18:53] <jhford> (or the other way around)
[18:53] <cjohnston> I see your in there now.. I got a ping saying you werent there DBO  :-)
[18:53] <jrib> jhford: no it's not
[18:53] <javahorn> ActionParsnip:  i do "acpi_backlight=samsung quiet splash" and update but no effect, do i need to shutdown?
[18:53] <aigoo> hey guys
[18:53] <DBO> cjohnston, I wasn't :P
[18:53] <maco> quantumlemur: i suspect you could run gconf-editor then go to /apps/gnome-panel and unlock it manually in there
[18:53] <jhford> jrib, i reversed it, /usr/lib64 is a symlink to /usr/lib on 64bit systems
[18:53] <ggolan> Greetings, what is the simplest way to add an option to the kernel line during bootup, I am using 10.04/grub2 and I want to add nmi_watchdog=1 to my kernel options during boot
[18:53] <jrib> jhford: yes, so what's your question?
[18:53] <aigoo> I'd like to know wether it's possible to move the mouse to bottom right and have all windows show up just like OSX?
[18:53] <maddler> michiwend: can't make it work on a Sony Vaio VPCS notebook
[18:54] <maddler> michiwend: tried copying firmware files from Windows but nothing...
[18:54] <jrib> endlesspuddingcu: so what happens when you try to mount the disk now?  Use a pastebin
[18:54] <ThinkT510> !compiz | aigoo
[18:54] <javahorn> ActionParsnip:  i am bit lost. :(
[18:54] <michiwend> maddler, tried gobi loader from repos?
[18:54] <jhford> jrib, well, rethinking my question, i should probably see what the output of 'file /usr/lib64' is on a 32bit machine (curious if it is even there)
[18:54] <maddler> michiwend: yes... it hungs after launching it...
[18:54] <jrib> jhford: doesn't exist
[18:54] <aigoo> okay thanks ubottu and ThinkT510, gonna try it out
[18:54] <jhford> jrib, thanks
[18:55] <michiwend> maddler, yap, that one ist broken i guess... mom
[18:55] <maddler> michiwend: I also tried latest 0.7
[18:55] <maddler> same result
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> javahorn: http://www.pastie.org/1617828
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> aigoo: its a part of compiz
[18:56] <aigoo> ActionParsnip : which one exactly ? keys binding?
[18:56] <quantumlemur> maco, the closest setting I can find is apps/panel/global/locked_down, but it's unset, even though I can't change anything
[18:56] <ThinkT510> aigoo: i think the plugin is called scale
[18:57] <ThinkT510> aigoo you can set the keybindings or window edges in the settings manager (ccsm)
[18:57] <michiwend> maddler, hmfp.... so i guess there is no way to get it working. gobiloader ist the big problem. i have the same problems but it worked some time ago for me. know every time using it under windows it works exactly one time in ubuntu :/
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> aigoo: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-803670.html
[18:57] <overclucker> what does a pattern file used with grep -f look like?
[18:57] <maco> quantumlemur: there should be dirs for individual panels too, i think
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> ThinkT510: yes, its scale
[18:57] <ardchoille> maco: there is
[18:58] <aigoo> thanks ActionParsnip, gonna have a look.
[18:58] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[18:58] <maddler> michiwend: I think I saw something about having to "power on" the modem... in /sys/dev/something
[18:58] <javahorn> ActionParsnip:  yes done that after sudo update-grub, it says about generating .cfg file, and after i try Fn+Brightness, it does not !!!
[18:59] <michiwend> maddler, it has somthing to do with the gobiloader. You can check the usb
[18:59] <michiwend> maddler, sry
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> javahorn: you need to reboot to apply the option
[18:59] <michiwend> maddler, usbID
[18:59] <javahorn> ActionParsnip: well trying , dont go away
[18:59] <javahorn> ActionParsnip:  Thanks so far the help
[18:59] <jrib> overclucker: man page explains it's just a pattern per line
[19:00] <michiwend> maddler, when firmware is not laoded it reads ID 05c6:9204 Qualcomm, Inc.
[19:00] <quantumlemur> maco, ah yeah, I did find a 'lock' setting for what seems to be the panel, but unsetting it doesn't allow me to change anything, still
[19:00] <michiwend> maddler, ohterwise it reads ID 05c6:9205
[19:01] <maddler> michiwend: yes... perhaps... btw... not a big issue... I don't really need it, being able to use my phone as an access point. Just could've been useful sometime
[19:01] <michiwend> maddler, im using it on my thinkpad but have to reboot into windows and then again into linx :D
[19:02] <maddler> michiwend: hehe... I could consider installing Winblows on my notebook perhaps... :D
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> michiwend: read:  dmesg | less    you will see the firmware file mentioned ;)
[19:03] <michiwend> maddler, nooooo :D it´s just my gaming OS so please do not install windows just for using it to load the firmware, hahaha
[19:03] <_Narc_> Hello all. When I login, the desktop shows up, the login sound plays after a pause and Gnome takes a few more seconds to load. Any suggestion to speed it up the way it should be ? (I already cleaned up my startup apps) Maverick. Thanks.
[19:04] <maddler> michiwend: well... I have no other use for windows... :D
[19:04] <overclucker> jrib: I was thinking I could just from a regular expression in a file and have it read easily, but maybe it's not for regular expressions
[19:05] <jrib> overclucker: you could do that if you want, though I guess it's main purpose is to have a list of patterns you want to check
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> _Narc_: reduce bootup items
[19:05] <michiwend> maddler, yeah ;D... so what i wanted to say is, that the wwan card works properly for me so it does only depend on the firmware being loaded or not
[19:06] <_Narc_> ActionParsnip : You mean Startup Applications ?
[19:07] <javahorn> ActionParsnip: Thanks , i have got a pair of new eyes!!! so straining it was. Though it is set to max perhaps , Fn+ Brightness does not work though . ;-)
[19:07] <daniel__> hi
[19:07] <daniel__> i have a problem
[19:08] <daniel__> just yesterday i install ubuntu 10.10 and now i try to copy a movie to my pendrive but the transfer speed is very slow
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> javahorn: try the rest of the link I gave
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> _Narc_: yes, reduce those, how much ram do you have
[19:09] <noob> hello ,, i have to ask did any one here used unity and weather at current state its usable??
[19:09] <daniel__> any help ?
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> daniel__: is the system a branded pc or a laptop?
[19:10] <psusi> noob: it is getting fairly usable now, yes...
[19:10] <mojoe1987> Sup group
[19:10] <daniel__> is a branded pc
[19:10] <psusi> noob: best to ask about that in #ubuntu+1
[19:10] <skullboy> where are the xinit output logs located
[19:11] <_Narc_> ActionParsnip : I already cleaned up what I didn't need in startup apps. I have 4GB, quad core. Boot up should be very fast, I think.
[19:11] <andai> I need help with complex english grammar, is there a #grammar channel or something?
[19:12] <david506> What is the proper way of adding the lucid debootstrap script to a Hardy install so I can install lucid from hardy using debootstrap ?
[19:12] <skullboy> where are the xinit output logs located

[19:13] <skullboy> where are the xinit output logs located
[19:13] <daniel__> i try in the front ports and in the back ports, same problem
[19:13] <agnostic> While trying installing acroread, i got following error-report (It's in german, but should be easy to understand) acroread:
[19:13] <agnostic>  Hängt ab: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>=2.21.6) but it is not installable
[19:13] <agnostic>   Hängt ab: libssl0.9.8 (>=0.9.8m-1), aber es wird 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.6 installiert
[19:13] <agnostic> *Hängt ab =  depends
[19:13] <ThinkT510> !xinit > ThinkT510
[19:13] <agnostic> But i can not install the other packages either.
[19:13] <tuzlo> ok, im reconfiguring Mysql and phpmyadmin, should it connect thru unix socket or tcp/ip?
[19:14] <mojoe1987> Anyone having issues installing Ubuntu 10.10?
[19:14] <skullboy> !xinit
[19:14] <jrib> mojoe1987: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[19:14] <erUSUL> tuzlo: on the same machine unix socket may be better but i dunno
[19:14] <skullboy> !xinit
[19:14] <skullboy> where are the xinit output logs located
[19:14] <mojoe1987> I'm new to LC. Not sure how to do that
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> _Narc_: what video chip?
[19:15] <jrib> agnostic: that's usually because repositories for different version of ubuntu are being/were mixed
[19:15] <jrib> mojoe1987: not sure how you would do what?
[19:15] <mojoe1987> You said to ask the channel on a single line. Idk what that entails
[19:16] <keith27> hello.  I am worried my system is compromised.  lately i have been getting active connections that appear to be from <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS> on port 43225 even though i have outgoing traffic restrictive by default in firestarter
[19:16] <ThinkT510> mojoe1987: what is your problem, someone can help you
[19:16] <_Narc_> ActionParsnip : Nvidia, with proprietary drivers. I read about plymouth having problems with Nvidia. Do you think it's related ?
[19:16] <agnostic> jrib: Is "maverick" a distribution? Then may i found the bug, because it's called like this in the software-source.
[19:16] <Pici> mojoe1987: Don't press ENTER between every two words, just explain your problem and then press enter.
[19:16] <jrib> mojoe1987: I mean just get to your real question
[19:17] <jrib> agnostic: hmm?
[19:17] <ThinkT510> !maverick | agnostic
[19:17] <jrib> agnostic: where are you getting acroread from?
[19:17] <agnostic> jrib: If i have distribution "maverik" named for the package-source, it wont work for lucid, i think.
[19:17] <Zombie34> добрый вечер у меня есть вопрос может кто-то помочь ??

[19:18] <daniel__> someone ?
[19:18] <skullboy> where are the xinit output logs located
[19:18] <mojoe1987> Ok. i updated my hardware because when i ran DE 10.10, the installation froze a lot.  There are white dots in random places and it runs sluggish
[19:18] <agnostic> jrib: Should i type this in?
[19:19] <jrib> skullboy: /var/log/Xorg.0.log is what you are looking for I guess
[19:19] <jrib> agnostic: a terminal
[19:19] <Mrokii> Hello. Sorry for being offtopic, but I am not sure where else to ask. So, can anybody recommend the site/book/whatever where one can learn more about TCP and such things? Specifically I want to be able to understand more what the Wireshark-Output means.
[19:19] <jrib> mojoe1987: what does "DE" mean?
[19:19] <Pici> Mrokii: ##networking should be able to help you more, or perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:19] <mojoe1987> Desktop Edition
[19:19] <skullboy> jrib: no im looking for the output of xinit
[19:20] <jrib> skullboy: are you executing it directly?  It's output go to the terminal where you ran it
[19:20] <Mrokii> Pici: I'll ask in ##networking, thanks. #ubuntu-offtopic didn't came up with an anser (or maybe I was too impatient :) )
[19:21] <jrib> mojoe1987: well first thing you should do is checksum your install disc
[19:21] <jrib> !verify | mojoe1987
[19:22] <agnostic> jrib: Thanks, it worked. Something I also should know for the future :-)
[19:22] <jrib> agnostic: that command only gives information, it doesn't do anything
[19:22] <agnostic> jrib: I mean with the mixed package-source. It will always use the newest, right?
[19:23] <jrib> agnostic: no, you should use the one for your version of ubuntu
[19:23] <agnostic> jrib: exactly ;-)
[19:23] <agnostic> jrib: But you told me that before.
[19:23] <mojoe1987> i used imgburn to make the disk. it has a verification process and the disk was clean
[19:23] <jrib> agnostic: ok
[19:24] <keith27> how can i kill an active network connection
[19:24] <jrib> mojoe1987: you need to actually verify the checksum of the iso you downloaded
[19:24] <mojoe1987> what do you mean "checksum"
[19:24] <jrib> mojoe1987: read the link ubottu gave you

[19:28] <Belias> where do i go?
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> Belias: job centre is a good place
[19:29] <LULZ> to college
[19:29] <Belias> ActionParsnip: link?
[19:29] <Zed`> Can anyone point me to some example upstart confs - I need to start a script on startup and run a different one on shutdown (obviosuly an exec) but I suck at scripting and would like to see some examples
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> Belias: www.jobcentreplus.org
[19:30] <erUSUL> Zed`: /etc/init/
[19:30] <skullboy> output 1 http://i51.tinypic.com/32ztgcy.png output 2 http://i54.tinypic.com/1zb8oaw.png
[19:30] <Zed`> erUSUL: there are no examples that I find of running an exec and my google foo is failing me
[19:31] <fortash> Hello
[19:31] <erUSUL> Zed`: /etc/init/avahi-daemon.conf
[19:31] <fortash> I am trying to install a .deb file from a mounted ISO
[19:31] <_Narc_> Hello all. When I login, the desktop shows up, the login sound plays after a pause and Gnome takes a rather "long" time to load. Any suggestion to speed it up the way it should be ? (I already cleaned up my startup apps). Maverick. Thanks.
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> Belias: also this is ubuntu support, not where can I get a job support
[19:32] <erUSUL> Zed`: grep -R "exec" /etc/init/
[19:32] <fortash> but I get the error that the file.deb could not be opened
[19:33] <skullboy> output 1 http://i51.tinypic.com/32ztgcy.png output 2 http://i54.tinypic.com/1zb8oaw.png

[19:34] <professiongod> Mam pytanie ktoś juz siedzi na ubuntu 10.10?
[19:34] <turbokumbi> damn, i have to get used to this.. :P
[19:34] <fortash> Why cant I install a .deb file from a mounted ISO? ( file.deb could not be opened )
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> Fortash: what is the output of: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/filename.deb
[19:34] <dhiaeldeen>  I have created #success
[19:34] <fortash> I will see
[19:35] <orbitz> Hello, how would i add kernel parameters to startup? i need to specify nouveau.noaccel=1 on kernel command line
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> Orbitz: i
[19:36] <ThinkT510> !boot | orbitz
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> Orbitz:in /etc/default/grub
[19:36] <orbitz> ThinkT510: are you sur that is wha ti need? i don't wnat startup services, i need ot modify grub
[19:36] <orbitz> ActionParsnip: do i hav eto run anything after modifying a file in there?
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> Orbitz: add it inside the quotes with: quiet splash
[19:37] <orbitz> how can i confirm it was set properly?
[19:37] <ThinkT510> orbitz: sorry, i was thinking of the bootoptions link
[19:37] <orbitz> ThinkT510: thanks
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> Orbitz: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub   will give write access
[19:37] <erUSUL> orbitz: edit /etc/default/grub add it to this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" --> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nouveau.noaccel=1"
[19:38] <erUSUL> orbitz: then run « sudo update-grub »
[19:38] <orbitz> awesome many many thanks
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> Orbitz: after you add it and save the new file, run: sudo update-grub
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> Orbitz: reboot to test
[19:39] <orbitz> do i have ot do thi severy time my kernel get supdated?
[19:39] <erUSUL> orbitz: no
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> Orbitz: no grub2 handles it
[19:40] <erUSUL> orbitz: update-grub will take care of adding it to all the kernels you have installed
[19:40] <orbitz> rad thanks
[19:40] <fortash> ActionParsnip: The error is: dpkg: error processing /home/fortash/.gvfs/Guitar.Pro.6.0.7.r9063.RePack.iso/GuitarPro6-rev9063.deb (--install):
[19:40] <fortash>  cannot access archive: Permission denied
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> Fortrash: are you sure its an iso and not a cd?
[19:42] <fortash> well the .ISO is mounted
[19:42] <fortash> /home/fortash/.gvfs/Guitar.Pro.6.0.7.r9063.RePack.iso
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> Fortrash: how did you mount it?
[19:43] <fortash> with archive mounter
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> Fortrash: and where did the iso originate from?
[19:44] <fortash> from a .rar archive
[19:44] <Zed`> erUSUL: thanks but I am too stupid to make sense of that - runlevels, etc - can you point me to an example that specifically runs a shell script?
[19:44] <fortash> it was in 11 parts
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> Fortrash: and where did the 11 parts come from?
[19:45] <erUSUL> Zed`: whatver is betwen "script" and "end script" is a sh script
[19:45] <fortash> internet, why is this relevant?
[19:46] <Zed`> erUSUL: understood but I will not be maintaining the code, a user will - so I just need to run the given scripts at starup and shutdown
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> Fortrash: it may be quite relevant. Which site is it from please?
[19:46] <erUSUL> Zed`: exec it from the upstart job  a line with « exec /path/to/script » should be enough
[19:46] <erUSUL> Zed`: maybe better help in #upstart
[19:47] <Zed`> erUSUL: thanks much
[19:47] <Zed`> erUSUL: upstart-udev-bridge.conf ?
[19:48] <Rc43> Really, guys, why ubuntu is so slow? This notebook is more  powerfull then my other one with archlnux, but it is slow as a hell!
[19:48] <Rc43> And there are now troubles with drivers and etc.
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> Rc43:co
[19:48] <Rc43> Because couple of a days it was not bad.
[19:49] <Rc43> *couple a days before
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> Rc43: configuration is my guess
[19:49] <fortash> ActionParsnip: Nevermind, I have tried extracting the archive instead of mounting it.
[19:49] <Rc43> ubuntu is user-friendly distr, not so?
[19:49] <fortash> It works now
[19:50] <Rc43> I even dont know what i can to set up, i tried to set vm.swappeness = 20
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> Fortrash: in short, i know what you have and how you got it and you should know what is and isn't supported here
[19:52] <endlesspudingcup> Can anyone help me with mounting my hard disk using the livecd?
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> Rc43: how much ram do you have?
[19:52] <Rc43> 3gb
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> endlesspudingcup: use the places menu
[19:53] <fortash> I came for help, and I learned something new, I did not come to get your support on such "things".
[19:53] <endlesspudingcup> ActionParsnip, i get this error: DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> Rc43: swappiness of 0 is possible with that much. Easily
[19:54] <Rc43> I don't know what a videochip, etc, but i think hardware is ok, because it is my working notebook.
[19:54] <ny3blpb> how to find my password for su or reset it
[19:54] <ActionParsnip> endlesspudingcup: what filesystem is the partition?
[19:54] <ActionParsnip> !noroot
[19:54] <Rc43> ActionParsnip, swappiness isn't necessar?
[19:54] <endlesspudingcup> ActionParsnip: ext4
[19:54] <pyro__> !root
[19:54] <ActionParsnip> ny3blpb: use:  sudo -i
[19:54] <Rc43> And i should restart, i think, right?
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> Rc43:that isn't what that will do
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> Rc43: swappiness of zero will mean the OS only uses swap if it has to
[19:55] <Rc43> Ok, thanks, i try.
[19:56] <endlesspudingcup> ActionParsnip: it's /dev/sdb1
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> Rc43: you can use: sudo sysctl -p    this is Linux, reboots are for windows
[19:56] <Rc43> Have anything thought about sudden disperformance?
[19:57] <Rc43> ActionParsnip, ye, i know that phrase :)
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> endlesspudingcup: i'd fsck it to make sure its ok
[19:58] <_skpl> what does sudo sysctl -p do?
[19:58] <endlesspudingcup> ActionParsnip: can you give me the command?
[19:58] <endlesspudingcup> ActionParsnip: just sudo fsck /dev/sdb1?
[19:58] <nikitis> How do I add a metamode?
[19:58] <Rc43> vm.swappiness is a feature of kernel, right?
[19:59] <agustinyanu> hi everybody
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> endlesspudingcup: read: man fsck   to see the options
[19:59] <nikitis> !metamode
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> Rc43: it tells the kernel how to manage ram
[20:00] <Rc43> So, it is debian/ubuntu's feature?
[20:00] <Rc43> I mean, could i set something similar in other distros?
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> Rc43: you may also want to install and/or  configure video  chip settings
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> Rc43: no its Linuxes feature, the kernel
[20:01] <Rc43> ok, understood
[20:01] <endlesspudingcup> ActionParsnip: nothing happens when i fsck -a
[20:02] <Zed`> erUSUL: thanks again
[20:02] <erUSUL> Zed`: no problem. you got a solution in #upstart?
[20:02] <Zed`> erUSUL: partly and partly figured it out :))
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> endlesspudingcup: did you specify partition?
[20:03] <erUSUL> Zed`: so what are you doing in the end. just « start on filesystem\n exec script »  ?
[20:03] <evilsush1> how can I add natty repositories to my apt?
[20:03] <Zed`> erUSUL: correct
[20:03] <meowsus> Fjodor, 'member me?
[20:03] <endlesspudingcup> Actionparsnip: -a goes through /etc/fstab
[20:03] <jrib> evilsush1: are you using natty?
[20:03] <IdleOne> evilsush1: you don't
[20:04] <endlesspudingcup> Actionparsnip:  and this is the result: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[20:04] <Pici> evilsush1: Perhaps it would be best to explain what you're trying to accomplish.
[20:04] <jrib> nimbiotics: are you going to ask your question?  I have your answer ready ;)

[20:04] <Rc43> May be, there is something special in ubuntu about mysql? I setted up it yesterday, connected locally succesfully. Today it wasn't able to connect (there were no mysqld.sock), and mysqld hadn't create it. I was impatient and tried to remove/install again and now i am not sure that all mysql files are correct.
[20:05] <jrib> Rc43: how did you install it?
[20:05] <Rc43> sudo apt-get install mysql-client mysql-server
[20:06] <Rc43> i dind't set it, only the root pass

[20:06] <meowsus> I'm copying data from a dying drive to an external drive. Everything copied pretty well. There are a few totally effed sectors that i can't straight copy from, but the data is close enough for jazz, so i'm going with it. I'm trying to run a "diff" report to have a good idea of what files are messed up after the move, but "diff" will the bad sectors and fail each time. Is there a way to compare the files in each of these direct
[20:06] <meowsus> ories and ignore the I/O errors?

[20:08] <Darael> I'm having some problems with Flash in 64-bit Ubuntu.  Have tested both repository-32-bit and native-64-bit flash player.  In any case, pressing the shift key is registered, but releasing it doesn't seem to be, unless there's a text-entry area in the Flash.  Example of places it can happen: http://ur1.ca/3cg3b

[20:08] <Rc43> jrib, remove/install again
[20:09] <czesiu> do anybody help me?
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> Rc43: did you check sql was running?
[20:09] <Rc43> i mean, i had to read mans and configure instead
[20:09] <xrdodrx> czesiu, run ls -lrt /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list
[20:09] <xrdodrx> pastebin the result
[20:09] <jrib> Rc43: what do you mean exactly by "configure instead"?
[20:09] <xrdodrx> it'll list your packages by install date
[20:09] <barf> How can I make changes to resolution? I am stuck in recovery mode...
[20:09] <Rc43> ActionParsnip, with sudo netstat -ap | grep mysql

[20:09] <ActionParsnip> Darael: still no luck huh
[20:10] <endlesspudingcup> Can anyone help me mount my harddisk that doesn't want to mount anymore with the livecd?
[20:10] <Rc43> jrib, sry for bad english, i had to configure it properly, but i just remove/install it, and this thing was wrong
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> Rc43: could use: service mysql status
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> Rc43: tab complete the mysql bit
[20:11] <jrib> endlesspudingcup: pastebin what happens when you try.

[20:12] <jasonlfunk> My sound stopped working, I don't really want to reboot my system... what can I restart to try to kickstart it?
[20:12] <lysy_> lysy
[20:12] <endlesspudingcup> jrib: doesn't work either
[20:12] <lysy_> seg
[20:13] <Rc43> Ok, so waht can i try now? Install it again and configure with what?

[20:13] <Rc43> I am afraid that installation won't be correct after partitial removing.
[20:13] <oscar> ActionParsnip: Thanks your solution works fine for my audio card
[20:14] <Rc43> (i used autoremove / autoclean)
[20:14] <czesiu> actionparsnip but i dont now how i can do this
[20:14] <geoffmcc> endlesspudingcup: assuming its /dev/sda1
[20:14] <JTS000ID> I was wondering which one has better support for drivers Fedora or Ubuntu.
[20:14] <_Narc_> Hi all. On Maverick, after loging in, the login sound plays after a pause, only the desktop shows up and it takes Gnome about 15 more seconds or so to load. Any suggestions to speed it up ? (Sorry to repeat my question) Thanks.
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> Oscar: sweet :) archive the solution incase you rei
[20:14] <xrdodrx> _Narc_, when did this start?
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> Reinstall
[20:15] <ThinkT510> JTS000ID: are you having trouble with certain hardware?
[20:15] <Darael> ActionParsnip: Whoops, response-delay.  Yeah, still no luck.
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> _Narc_: what video chip?
[20:15] <endlesspudingcup> geoffmcc: it says it's being opened by another program when i enter that
[20:16] <_Narc_> xrdodrx:  Since I upgraded to Maverick I think. (Clean install). It was gone for a while after an update I think, but came back.
[20:16] <_Narc_> ActionParsnip:  Nvidia.
[20:16] <JTS000ID> ThinkT510, Well not at the moment. I have a software for which I'll be providing Support. I need to place my OSes in seqence to which I'll be providing support to. So Fedora or Ubuntu.
[20:16] <tuzlo> ok, how do I blacklist a driver?
[20:16] <tuzlo> damn video chose the wqrong one
[20:16] <endlesspudingcup> geoffmcc: and it's /dev/sdb1 because it's changed from a to b for some reason even though i have only one harddisk
[20:16] <xrdodrx> _Narc_, hmm....and it didn't happen in earlier versions of ubuntu? what is your hardware like?
[20:17] <xrdodrx> Because ~15 seconds is what I usually get :)
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> _Narc_: which model nvidia chip?
[20:17] <geoffmcc> endlesspudingcup: u can find what it is by doing sudo fdisk -l
[20:17] <endlesspudingcup> geoffmcc: nothing happens when i do that
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> !blacklist
[20:18] <ThinkT510> JTS000ID: its the linux kernel that supports hardware, i'm not sure the differences between ubuntu and fedora kernel packeges
[20:18] <geoffmcc> endlesspudingcup: your in the live cd running a terminal?
[20:18] <endlesspudingcup> geoffmcc: yep
[20:18] <geoffmcc> endlesspudingcup: oh i didnt notice- you know its sb1
[20:18] <czesiu> hello what is spoonwep?

[20:19] <ActionParsnip> Tuzlo: make sure the filename you make has a .conf file extension
[20:19] <_Narc_> xrdodrx:  Maybe it did happen with earlier versions but it wasn't so slow. I have 4Gb RAM, quad core, Nvidia card...
[20:19] <jrib> endlesspudingcup: yes, but I want to see the pastebin

[20:19] <geoffmcc> endlesspudingcup: ps- if you forgot the sudo the fdisk -l command will not display anything
[20:19] <endlesspudingcup> geoffmcc: i did, this was the output: e2fsck: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sdb1
[20:19] <endlesspudingcup> Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?

[20:20] <ThinkT510> !kernel | JTS000ID
[20:20] <xrdodrx> _Narc_, oh, ok, that definitely shouldn't be happening
[20:21] <geoffmcc> endlesspudingcup: hmm.

[20:21] <meowsus> I've got a weird problem with my number pad on my keyboard. Sometimes it works fine, but sometimes the numbers just move the mouse 1 pixel around the screen, like the arrow keys. It seems totally random and seems to correct itself automatically, then break again. And yes, the numlock key is on, i've tried it both with it on and off.
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> Tuzlo: sudo lshw -C display
[20:22] <geoffmcc> endlesspudingcup: well you tried to mount it and it gave error i think u said so have u restarted since then
[20:22] <dude> greetings
[20:22] <homiethesock> i have no sound with my maudio 1010lt card (ice1712) in ubuntu 10.10, ran pulseaudio -vvvvv but i don't even know WHERE to begin interpreting the result
[20:22] <endlesspudingcup> geoffmcc: yes, still the same
[20:22] <dude> does anyone has a aspire one netbook running ubuntu?
[20:22] <_Narc_> xrdodrx:  Yes, I suppose it should be faster.
[20:22] <tuzlo> thx ActionParsnip and it auto chooses the other driver for that card right?
[20:22] <mickster04> meowsus: numlock
[20:22] <mickster04> meowsus: oops sorry
[20:22] <geoffmcc> endlesspudingcup: i mean restart and run the e2fsck command without trying to mount it first
[20:22] <meowsus> mickster04, haha
[20:23] <_Narc_> ActionParsnip:  Latest proprietary drivers are installed.
[20:23] <dude> trying to get the sound settings to be saved for each boot, but no luck
[20:23] <mickster04> !anyone | dude
[20:23] <meowsus> Yeah. It's pretty wierd. I don't really know how to trouble shoot it./
[20:23] <mickster04> meowsus: are you using some key combo that triggers it?
[20:23] <dude> damn!!
[20:23] <geoffmcc> endlesspudingcup: to be clear i think its hungup on the last time you tried to mount and that why giving u busy msg when trying to repair
[20:23] <mickster04> !sound
[20:24] <homiethesock> i assume that was directed at me
[20:24] <meowsus> mickster04, well, it started happening after i got a new Logitech keyboard. No settings were changed, it just seems like Ubuntu doesn't like this one as much as the other one.
[20:24] <monkeyD> I have a pc with a sis card, and I updated my ubuntu, but I still have vertical lines that doesnt want to go and some vertival lines that moves when I move the mouse, if I put the screen on my windows pc I have no problems
[20:24] <mickster04> meowsus: hum...what keyboard is it, maybe theres some signal issues?
[20:24] <homiethesock> and i will just answer that i wouldn't be asking if i didn't check the most obvious things first

[20:27] <meowsus> mickster04, http://www.logitech.com/en-us/434/5759 it's that, actually
[20:27] <mickster04> !tab > homiethesock:
[20:27] <homiethesock> mickster84: try that one again
[20:27] <monkeyD> I have a pc with a sis card, and I updated my ubuntu, but I still have vertical lines that doesnt want to go and some vertival lines that moves when I move the mouse, if I put the screen on my windows pc I have no problems
[20:27] <monkeyD> anyone please ?
[20:28] <homiethesock> mickster84: or dont, because i find these little triggers rather condescending and dismissive
[20:28] <Pici> javahelpplz: Its ##java, but you'll need to be registered and identified to get there.
[20:28] <Pici> !registe > javahelpplz
[20:28] <mickster04> !tab > homiethesock
[20:28] <Pici> !registre > javahelpplz
[20:28] <Pici> !register > javahelpplz
[20:28] <mickster04> Pici: ouch :p
[20:28] <LjL> !spell > Pici    (Pici, see the private message from ubottu)
[20:28] <mickster04> oh man :p
[20:28] <Pici> mickster04: I thought about sending myself a !botabuse factoid, but that would just be redundant.
[20:29] <gribouille> hi
[20:29] <gribouille> sshfs hangs completely. I can't kill it. Wnat do I have to do ?
[20:29] <mickster04> anyway meowsus not really sure...it seems like a pretty normal keyboard :/ if you work out it's triggers, let us know. it may be time based or a specific key
[20:30] <mickster04> homiethesock: also, I dunno about your problem, that issue has been solved before though
[20:30] <meowsus> mickster04, figured it out. It was the "mouse keys" thing in SYSTEM > PREFERENCES > KEYBOARD
[20:30] <meowsus> Also, SHIFT + NUM LOCK turns it on and off.
[20:30] <mickster04> meowsus: so what it was always on? i thought you siad it was intermittent?
[20:30] <meowsus> My fat, fat fingers must have been acting on their own accord again.
[20:30] <Darael> I'm having some problems with Flash in 64-bit Ubuntu.  Have tested both repository-32-bit and native-64-bit flash player.  In any case, pressing the shift key is registered, but releasing it doesn't seem to be, unless there's a text-entry area in the Flash.  Example of places it can happen: http://ur1.ca/3cg3b
[20:30] <mickster04> meowsus: ah ok
[20:30] <gribouille> sshfs hangs completely. I can't kill it. Wnat do I have to do ?
[20:30] <homiethesock> mickster04, if you're referring to the mountain of bug reports and the handful of workarounds, yes, i am aware, i was hoping to get a little deeper into it with someone who had more than a vague idea
[20:31] <meowsus> mickster04, yeah, the keyboard may be just the slightest bit TOO compact :P
[20:31] <mickster04> meowsus: :)
[20:31] <meowsus> mickster04, thanks for you help anywho!
[20:31] <vismundCygnus> guys, im having some trouble connecting to my wireless router with my new netbook, anyone wanna help?
[20:31] <mickster04> homiethesock: well i meant we have had people come here with the problem of non saving settings before :/ i dunno whta the solution was tho
[20:31] <monokrome> Hey. How can I move the NetworkMonitor in my panel?!
[20:31] <mickster04> !details | vismundCygnus
[20:31] <homiethesock> mickster04, its not an issue with settings not being saved
[20:32] <barf> xrandr tells me can’t open display
[20:32] <koss> #chrzanow
[20:32] <mickster04> monokrome: right click next to it, move, if that is greyed out, uncheck lock to panel
[20:32] <monokrome> I can right click everything else but not that
[20:32] <mickster04> monokrome: i am not sure that is a signle icon, it's part of the notifications app i think
[20:32] <vismundCygnus> well, my HP laptop can connect to my netgear router, but my acer aspire one cannot, bot running 10.10
[20:32] <edward1> Hello
[20:32] <mickster04> monokrome: try moving theother things a little and see what moves it
[20:33] <monokrome> Nope, I already moved the other things
[20:33] <mickster04> vismundCygnus: is it up to date? error messages?
[20:33] <mickster04> monokrome: and that item is still not moving?
[20:33] <monokrome> Oh, hey it is the notification area
[20:33] <monokrome> I just don't have any other notifications
[20:33] <domell> how do i stop apache/mysql from starting at system startup ?
[20:33] <mickster04> homiethesock: oh, what was the issue again?
[20:33] <monokrome> So there's a little tab next to the icon
[20:33] <monokrome> Thanks for the help, mickster04
[20:33] <mickster04> monokrome: all good :D
[20:33] <vismundCygnus> Mickster04, all is up to date, and i could connect to a belkin router at my buddys house just an hour ago
[20:34] <mickster04> vismundCygnus: what happens when you try?
[20:34] <jrib> domell: are they sysv-init scripts or started by upstart?
[20:34] <homiethesock> mickster04, to be brief, no sound coming through. pulseaudio shows applications sending sound, but none of my audio systems show it coming through the card
[20:34] <domell> jrib: how fo i find that ?
[20:34] <xrdodrx> Can I configure ubuntu to use the fonts in /host/WINDOWS/Fonts ?
[20:34] <jrib> domell: check if /etc/init/apache*.conf and /etc/init/mysql*.conf exist
[20:34] <vismundCygnus> Mickster04, nothing, it tried to connect, then after about 3 minutes it stops
[20:34] <rfrittmann_> vismundCygnus: do you have MAC filtering on your router enabled? Just a thought.
[20:35] <genjitsu> hi all
[20:35] <ThinkT510> endlesspudingcup: welcome back, managed to fsck your partition?
[20:35] <mickster04> homiethesock: have u got an inbuil;t sound jack?
[20:35] <xrdodrx> if I made a symbolic link from /usr/share/fonts to /host/windows/fonts would it work? :o
[20:36] <mickster04> vismundCygnus: what securityty is being used on the router?
[20:36] <endlesspudingcup> thinkt510: no, i get the same message again: e2fsck: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sdb1
[20:36] <endlesspudingcup> Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?
[20:36] <domell> jrib: it exists for mysql but not for apache
[20:36] <vismundCygnus> rfrittman_, no no MAC filtering on, I actually reset the router because I thought that was the problem, so it has no settings/security
[20:36] <homiethesock> mickster04: its a professional audio sound card, analogue ins and outs for recording
[20:36] <mickster04> endlesspudingcup: are u goin thru a live disk?
[20:36] <mickster04> homiethesock: yeah but on board mother board ports may be confusing ubuntu
[20:36] <endlesspudingcup> mickster04 yes
[20:37] <MeTaLKiA> !ops
[20:37] <BINUSHACKER> !ops
[20:37] <kylen> !ops
[20:37] <Kidz`AwaY> !ops
[20:37] <LondokupEr> !ops
[20:37] <mickster04> endlesspudingcup: do you havew windows on that machine?
[20:37] <MeTaLKiA> !ops
[20:37] <Kidz`AwaY> !ops
[20:37] <BINUSHACKER> !ops
[20:37] <kylen> !ops
[20:37] <LondokupEr> !ops
[20:37] <ZenGuy311> ftw
[20:37] <IdleOne> homiethesock: you checked the output settings in sound prefs to make sure it is using the correct card?
[20:37] <homiethesock> mickster04: oh. crap. i actually totally forgot to check that. and on that note, i will brb
[20:37] <mickster04> wth?
[20:37] <homiethesock> mickster04: ubuntu only reports ONE sound card
[20:37] <homiethesock> mickster04: which is why i didnt really bother checking the bios for the onboard sound in the first place
[20:38] <mickster04> homiethesock: yeah, well if your mobo has it's own, and the bios hasn'tdisabled it....
[20:38] <mickster04> what was that about?
[20:38] <homiethesock> mickster04: yeah, so
[20:38] <jrib> domell: for mysql, edit that /etc/init/mysql.conf script and add "never" as a starting condition (or modify the runlevel clauses appropriately).  For apache, install and use sysv-rc-conf to prevent apache from starting on runlevel 2
[20:38] <homiethesock> mickster04: im gonna go check that, and brb
[20:38] <Darael> I'm having some problems with Flash in 64-bit Ubuntu.  Have tested both repository-32-bit and native-64-bit flash player.  In any case, pressing the shift key is registered, but releasing it doesn't seem to be, unless there's a text-entry area in the Flash.  Example of places it can happen: http://ur1.ca/3cg3b
[20:38] <xrdodrx> if I made a symbolic link from /usr/share/fonts to /host/windows/fonts would I be able to use my windows fonts? what about redundant fonts?
[20:39] <domell> jrib: thanks alot will try it out. :)
[20:39] <mickster04> !fonts | xrdodrx
[20:39] <xrdodrx> mickster04, I know that :\
[20:39] <iplaythisgame> sudo rm -r -vv Stuff/                         rm: cannot remove directory `Stuff/Books/Fiction': Directory not empty       any ideas?
[20:39] <mickster04> xrdodrx: if you double click on them, it should let you just install them anyway?
[20:39] <endlesspudingcup> mickster04: any other ideas?
[20:39] <mickster04> iplaythisgame: remove the contents first :p
[20:39] <oscar> i need help on configuring my video card (Intel GMA 3150), can you help me?
[20:40] <iplaythisgame> mickster04:    there are none
[20:40] <xrdodrx> mickster04, It makes a copy into a fonts directory, right? I have ~6000 of them...that would be a lot of wasted HDD space
[20:40] <tuzlo> ok, tried blacklisting my video driver doesnt look like it worked
[20:40] <mickster04> endlesspudingcup: well if you made sure that windows had safely removed it, then it should work :/
[20:40] <mickster04> iplaythisgame: ls -a on the folder
[20:40] <iplaythisgame> . ..
[20:40] <endlesspudingcup> mickster04: safely removed what?
[20:41] <ThinkT510> mickster04: endlesspudingcup's partition he is trying to fsck is ext4
[20:41] <mickster04> endlesspudingcup: the partition you are trying to access?
[20:41] <tuzlo> !blacklist
[20:41] <jdmcclung> When I run dhclient wlan0  it runs DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to <IP_ADDRESS> but that is not correct. How do I get it to check <IP_ADDRESS>?
[20:41] <iplaythisgame> mickster04: . ..
[20:41] <mickster04> ThinkT510: ah ok
[20:41] <mickster04> iplaythisgame: what happens when you remove just that folder?
[20:42] <tuzlo> is blackliust case sensitive and should I be using <>
[20:42] <mickster04> jdmcclung: 255 is rgeater than 0 so it will view that too surely?
[20:42] <barf> xrandr tells me the following: http://pastie.org/private/rssfnqsnhg5mzc90veqq while I would really like to change the resolution to 1280x720
[20:42] <Sammi16> what is the command to list which buses are being used?
[20:42] <vismundCygnus> mickster04, the syslog says the error is, denied authentication (status 1)
[20:42] <_Narc_> Hi all. On Maverick, after loging in, the login sound plays after a pause, only the desktop shows up and it takes Gnome about 15 more seconds or so to load. Any suggestions ? (Sorry to repeat my question) Thanks.
[20:43] <mickster04> vismundCygnus: what now?
[20:43] <ThinkT510> endlesspudingcup: what is the output of: sudo umount /dev/sdb1
[20:43] <naimina> Why hello ladies and gents, I require some assistance. I have gotten hold of a iMac G4 (the ugly lamp thing) and feel the urge to use ubuntu on it, but I cant even get it to boot the CD. I have tried holding down the C-key as instructed on the internets but it just checks for CD and then goes back to boot up osx. So is there anyone who think they can help me with this task?
[20:44] <jdmcclung> mickster04: it tries this a couple of times then says it can't lease an IP from the dhcp
[20:44] <endlesspudingcup> ThinkT510: umount: /dev/sdb1: not mounted
[20:44] <vismundCygnus> Mickster04, that was the error, denied authentication (status 1)
[20:44] <xrdodrx> so any idea about how Ubuntu installs fonts, mickster04 ?
[20:44] <mickster04> jdmcclung: is you dhcp client working?
[20:44] <Mrokii> naimina: I could be wrong, but I don't think that Ubuntu supports PPC anymore.
[20:44] <mickster04> vismundCygnus: uhm, i don't remember what you wree doing
[20:44] <ThinkT510> endlesspudingcup: so we know it isn't mount but it still won't let you fsck it
[20:45] <iplaythisgame> rmdir   / directory note empty      rm -r / Input/output error
[20:45] <vismundCygnus> mickster04, lol, my netbook won't connect to my router
[20:46] <naimina> Mrokii: I am using the old 8.04.1
[20:46] <iplaythisgame> mickster04: rmdir   directory note empty      rm -r  Input/output error
[20:46] <Mrokii> naimina: I see.
[20:46] <rmd_> Where do I find a GUI configuration to setup a systemwide proxy in Ubuntu 10.04?
[20:46] <naimina> I have no cd-burner or anything.
[20:46] <mickster04> vismundCygnus: ah ok. so it seems your router settings may need checking, can you connect to it with no security
[20:46] <mickster04> ?
[20:46] <jdmcclung> mickster04: yes, I've had it connected with this computer and also the one I'm on now is connected to the same LAN
[20:46] <mickster04> iplaythisgame: -f for folders isn't it?
[20:47] <mickster04> !wpa2
[20:47] <vismundCygnus> mickster04, yes, from eth0
[20:47] <iplaythisgame> mickster04: input output error
[20:47] <endlesspudingcup> ThinkT510: yep. I have no clue about what to do or to recover my files
[20:47] <bencahill> anyone up to testing a gnome bug for me?
[20:47] <ThinkT510> endlesspudingcup: while it isn't mounted, what is the output of: sudo fsck -fyv /dev/sdb1
[20:47] <mickster04> vismundCygnus: no i meant wireless but no security
[20:48] <mickster04> iplaythisgame: uhm, that's something else then
[20:48] <vismundCygnus> mickster05, oh, no I can't
[20:48] <BluesKaj> naimina, an iMac G4 might be able to install Ubuntu power pc edition , but I'm not sure
[20:48] <vismundCygnus> mickster04, but i can from my other laptop
[20:48] <BluesKaj> !PPC
[20:49] <endlesspudingcup> ThinkT510:: http://pastebin.com/V66R7C37
[20:49] <homiethesock> mickster04: onboard sound has been disable the whole time, so thats out =/
[20:49] <ThinkT510> endlesspudingcup: that's odd, we've verified it's not mounted but fsck thinks it is
[20:49] <endlesspudingcup> thinkt510: and there's no other program open
[20:49] <mickster04> vismundCygnus: well that is something more fundamental then :/ if you can't connect wirelessly at all to the router...what does it do when it tries connecting without security? it won't need to authenticate will it?
[20:50] <Darael> I'm having some problems with Flash in 64-bit Ubuntu.  Have tested both repository-32-bit and native-64-bit flash player.  In any case, pressing the shift key is registered, but releasing it doesn't seem to be, unless there's a text-entry area in the Flash.  Example of places it can happen: http://ur1.ca/3cg3b
[20:50] <mickster04> homiethesock: gah, uhm...different hole? you can see in sound manager outputs and inputs...
[20:50] <vismundCygnus> mickster04, theres no security on the router, ATM
[20:50] <mickster04> vismundCygnus: so what does it do?
[20:50] <ThinkT510> endlesspudingcup: i wish i could help you more but this is outside my skill level (which is rather low anyway)
[20:51] <homiethesock> mickster04: the problem is that it doesnt show sound coming through ANY of the outputs
[20:51] <Darael> bencahill: I /feel/ up to it, but for future reference it's geneally better just to make the request than to ask an "anyone" question.
[20:51] <endlesspudingcup> thinkt510: do you know anyone i can ask more help?
[20:51] <homiethesock> mickster04: but the pulseaudio volume meters show that sound is coming thru
[20:51] <mickster04> homiethesock: i don't think it would....uhm I am out:/ no idea what else to try
[20:51] <vismundCygnus> mickster04, tries to connect and gets denied authentication, authentication which should happen?
[20:51] <homiethesock> mickster04: fair enough
[20:52] <ThinkT510> endlesspudingcup: well you're in the best place for support so hope someone else in the channel can help
[20:52] <mickster04> vismundCygnus: are you sure there is no security on there? Idunno if authentication is required when connecting with no security?
[20:52] <steven__> hey guys i just have a small question. I'm using TVtime with 10.10 desktop. Last night I was watching tv fine, but this morning all I have is a green screen and cant see anything. any suggestions?
[20:52] <vismundCygnus> mickster04, like I said, my HP laptop connects fine, no problems, and this acer connected to another network fine, just can't connect to mine
[20:52] <mickster04> steven__: restart
[20:52] <naimina> I read on the FAQ that 6.10 was the last suppordet ubuntu for ppc. Thanks for the help anyways!
[20:52] <steven__> mickster04: already tried
[20:52] <mickster04> vismundCygnus: well that makes no sense
[20:53] <vismundCygnus> mickster04, exactly
[20:53] <bencahill> Darael: thanks :) ... ok, well this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/726764
[20:53] <mickster04> steven__: uhm can you do anyhing with the green screen? or is it just a screen filled with green, if so tryctrl+alt+f6
[20:53] <oscar> does someone can help me configure my video card? Intel GMA 3150
[20:53] <brandon420> umm
[20:54] <steven__> mickster04: I can access the settings menu and everything normal, I can even change the channels. Just nothing is showing up.
[20:54] <ruiserra>  when i do modprobe i got No such file or directory, why??
[20:54] <mickster04> steven__: oh so it's the program that is broken and not the pc?

[20:56] <pulaski> Hi. I have a dual boot amd64 and after many successful installs in the past 10.04.2 LTS wont't boot from the grub default menu option. The screen just goes blank and the only way to recover is a manual reboot. Set root appears to correct. Has anyone else had this problem?
[20:56] <mickster04> oscar: whats wrong with it so far
[20:57] <erUSUL> ruiserra: try « sudo modprobe libertas-sdio »
[20:57] <ruiserra> im in root already
[20:58] <oscar> mickster04: ubuntu can't use advanced features
[20:58] <ruiserra> im using a new kernel, the modules dont work
[20:58] <mickster04> oscar: i don't think the gma is capable of the advanced features
[20:59] <mickster04> !gma
[20:59] <ruiserra> if i with lsmod, it doesnt appear any
[20:59] <mickster04> oscar: eitherway isn't gma imbedded graphics?
[20:59] <seuros> Hello
[20:59] <steven__> mickster04: i just got caught in the command line haha. tvtime doesnt seem to have changed though. I believe it is the program not the PC.
[20:59] <jrib> vBm: top or ps
[20:59] <seuros> How can i force a wifi card to stay a defined bitrate : "iwconfig wlan0 rate 5.5" don't fix it.
[21:00] <mickster04> steven__: in which case you have to go to their forums/channels...this is ubuntu support
[21:00] <oscar> mickster04: yes
[21:00] <steven__> mickster04: very good. thanks for your time.
[21:00] <vBm> jrib, ok ... but with it i see %mem ... how to see real number ? ... 8gb on this server ... so mem is 0.1 for this proc most of the time ;s
[21:00] <guntbert> ruiserra: type    ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/libertas        does that show the file?
[21:01] <Logan_WP> steven__: there seems to be a #tvtime channel on Freenode
[21:01] <mickster04> oscar: yeah, ubuntu won't let you use them for the advanced features, it just doesnt work well. you can add it to the whitelist of graphics cards, but it won't be pretty
[21:01] <Arpad2> hello
[21:01] <mickster04> !whitelist
[21:01] <jrib> vBm: I don't know what you mean by "it"
[21:01] <vBm> jrib, sorry lad ... with ps i've ment
[21:01] <Logan_WP> mickster04: make sure to search the Ubottu DB before using commands: http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi
[21:02] <jrib> vBm: don't use %mem I suppose
[21:02] <Arpad2> after formating Usb drive failed to mount, could smb help, please?
[21:02] <vBm> jrib, but how do i change that default behavior ?
[21:02] <oscar> mickster04: well ok, but i saw windows using it with advanced features, may be if i use windows drivers?
[21:03] <jrib> vBm: see -o in ps's man page
[21:03] <vBm> jrib, thanks lad
[21:03] <mickster04> oscar: windows doesn't have advanced options like ubuntu does, ubuntu's advanced far out classes windows advanced
[21:03] <oscar> mickster04: Ok thanks

[21:31] <sandking> god, unity is a nightmare to get grasp of
[21:32] <sandking> how can i copy files from one folder to another in unity "user friendly" ui?
[21:33] <mevvis> sandking, tux commander ?
[21:33] <sandking> mevvis, i tried to launch nautilus but it seems it's weaved into unity
[21:34] <sandking> i just want to open two folder windows and drag and drop
[21:34] <sandking> i'm trying to figure out how to do it for the past 5 minutes
[21:35] <sandking> if unity is the future i want to live in the past
[21:35] <barf> xrandr tells me the following: http://pastie.org/private/rssfnqsnhg5mzc90veqq while I would really like to change the resolution to 1280x720
[21:35] <erUSUL> sandking: launch nautilus ?
[21:35] <ThinkT510> sandking: can't you select the files rightclick copy, go to another folder ricghtclick paste?
[21:36] <sandking> ThinkT510, file browser doesn't seem to let me do it
[21:36] <Alec> hey guys, can anyone help? My harddrive is fine and im currently running my Windows partition but my Ubuntu partition won't boot or mount from my USB drive
[21:36] <sandking> it's different than nautilus behavior
[21:37] <ThinkT510> sandking: i've never used unity, i prefer thunar (xfce man myself)
[21:37] <NixGeek> Why does Ubuntu not detect my overclock?
[21:38] <sandking> ThinkT510, Unity is a nightmare for me - it's my second take and i don't like it
[21:38] <mickster04> Alec: what do you mean by mount? windows can't see ubuntu partitions, and unless your bios is set up you won't be able to boot from ubuntu?
[21:39] <Alec> Mickster04, I have Ubuntu running on my USB drive so I can access and see my linux partition, when I go to mount it, it doesnt do anything, when I try to repair with diskutility, it says its "not clean"
[21:39] <ThinkT510> !unity | sandking: not sure if any of these links may help:
[21:39] <mickster04> Alec: hum....not sure
[21:39] <Alec> Mickster04, Im also running on dual boot, hence why I know my hard drive is functioning, and the grub boot menu loads
[21:39] <JTS000ID> Is there a third-party software to measure the performance of an attached Video Card.
[21:40] <mickster04> Alec: so you can boot into windows but not ubuntu? what does the usb have to do with this?
[21:40] <Alec> I have my USB drive set up with ubuntu as well, so I can boot into Ubuntu with my flash drive
[21:41] <Alec> Mickster04, so the first thing I did was boot ubuntu from my flash drive to retrieve my files
[21:41] <motion> could someone point me to an irc channel which i could seek help with WindowsXP boot.ini please?
[21:41] <JTS000ID> I need to find out how my video card is being used by multiple instances of vlc
[21:42] <Alec> Mickster04, I can see the windows partition, my storage partition, and my ubuntu partition, but when I try to use gparted to repair the partition, it gets an error message
[21:42] <Sammi16> Is there anything i can do to fix my computer when i cant get past the screen that says Ubuntu before my screen turns black? Other than reinstalling the OS?
[21:43] <ChogyDan> Sammi16: have you tried recovery mode?
[21:43] <Alec> Sammi16, you could try installing Ubuntu to your flash drive and booting from there and you can use all the linux accessories from there
[21:43] <Sammi16> hmmm, recovery mode?
[21:44] <Sammi16> Alec, would i be able to repair my filesystem? I basically just need to fix my xorg.conf file...
[21:44] <morgan> con some one help ?
[21:44] <Alec> Sammi16, one sec phone

[21:46] <Alec2> Still there Sammi16?
[21:46] <AndChat-> Thanks
[21:46] <Sammi16> yes
[21:47] <Alec2> Sammi16, im not that great with Ubuntu and am actually here for a problem, but I know if you boot from your USB you can access the partition tool and disk utility and stuff
[21:47] <ilias> hi all
[21:47] <Alec2> and maybe even mount the drive
[21:47] <mbeierl> how do I stop ubuntu from constantly adjusting the brightness of my laptop panel - even when plugged in to AC power?
[21:47] <Alec2> Sammi16, it depends on the problem
[21:47] <Sammi16> yeah... i need to just change my xorg.conf file... im looking into recovery mode.
[21:48] <Alec2> might work too
[21:48] <Alec2> Can anybody help me? I cant boot my ubuntu partition, but I can boot from my windows partition, and when I try to mount it from Ubuntu running off my USB, it wont.
[21:49] <ChogyDan> Alec2: can you give some more details?
[21:50] <Whitor> Hi all. nslookup resolves a domain name to an ip... yet firefox says server not found... yet I can get to the site via ip. ideas ?
[21:50] <Whitor> I cannot ping the name... but I can ping the ip
[21:50] <Whitor> the name in question also happens to be the DNS
[21:51] <Alec2> ChogyDan, I have a dual boot running, and can access the boot menu fine. When I try to boot into Ubunti, an error message comes up, i cant remember it exactly, but somthing along the lines of "no such mount point exists" or "no directory exists". When I boot Ubuntu from my flash drive, the partition is visible but wont mount, and when I check with Diskutility it says "file system is not clean"
[21:51] <mickster04> Alec: you didn't describe the error message you got on trying to boot into ubuntu?
[21:51] <mickster04> Alec: nor have you given us clues as to what may have cuased it
[21:51] <ohsix> derp
[21:52] <xrdodrx> !info fontmatrix
[21:52] <Alec2> Mickster04, if you'd like, I can sign off, boot into ubuntu, and write down the error message
[21:52] <xrdodrx> :D
[21:52] <mickster04> Alec2: i guess that would be useful, but if the mount point is missing, there may be corruption involved :/
[21:53] <mickster04> xrdodrx: well done :D
[21:53] <ThinkT510> Alec2: can you use gparted to fsck the partition?
[21:55] <xrdodrx> mickster04, wow, it's rpetty good as well...I might be able to dump windows entirely with fontforge and fontmatrix :o
[21:56] <ThinkT510> Alec: can you use gparted to fsck the partition?
[21:56] <Alec> ThinkT510, I tried, but I got an error
[21:56] <Alec> Mickster04, I just wrote down the error message on boot
[21:57] <Alec> Mickster04, its Mount: Mounting on /dev on root /dev failed, so such file or directory

[22:19] <g_0_0> moonbeam,  you're not. you could check here --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/RealTimeKernel
[22:20] <moonbeam> is there a tutorial that explains hot to install it?
[22:20] <sploozer> Anyone know of any good utilities that will search and extract files from a squid cache?  I need to proxy a few security product and save off their downloaded update files and I was hoping I can do that if they're proxied via squid
[22:20] <moonbeam> hot is how
[22:20] <Alec> Schizzle, im not sure, it could have been auto-updating when I shut down or something
[22:20] <g_0_0> moonbeam, also here -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation
[22:20] <Alec> i just shut it down and went to boot back up 10 minutes later and it didnt work
[22:21] <moonbeam> so ill see where that goes
[22:21] <moonbeam> csound is hard enough!
[22:21] <moonbeam> but 1 more question
[22:21] <moonbeam> i installed both sugar .88 and suger-ubuntu remix
[22:21] <shizzle> you get any error msgs?
[22:22] <moonbeam> hoping i could use tamtamjam
[22:22] <Alec> Yeah Schizzle, mounting on /dev on root/dev failed, no such file or directory
[22:22] <moonbeam> it said in using the remix and sugar in the /opt folder i could just switch sessions
[22:22] <moonbeam> nothing seems to happen when i do
[22:22] <Alec> Schizzle, my other partition still works, and grub menu still works
[22:22] <moonbeam> i can open what seems a sugar emulator but no tamtamjam
[22:23] <moonbeam> des anyone have an idea about what i can do
[22:23] <g_0_0> moonbeam, here is something that may be useful to you -->
[22:23] <g_0_0> http://longspine.com/how-to/real-time-kernel-on-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat/
[22:23] <Alec> Schizzle im going to go try to fix this, thanks
[22:23] <coz_> moonbeam,  how are  you swtiching "sessions"?
[22:24] <moonbeam> i click on switch from <username> on the log out button on the panel
[22:24] <coz_> moonbeam,   try logging off and just after you put in your password  ,, at the bottom of the screen is "Sessions"   see if it is listed under there
[22:25] <moonbeam> it is
[22:25] <todd_> hi all
[22:25] <moonbeam> and i click on both of those options and nothing seems to happen
[22:25] <shizzle> Alec, also have a look at this man page http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/fsck.8.html
[22:25] <moonbeam> as far as i can tell they were both correctly installed
[22:25] <coz_> moonbeam,   sorry,, then I am not familiar with this issue,, I have never used those applications
[22:25] <shizzle> obviously its for hardy but might help out a bit
[22:26] <moonbeam> ill check if there is a sugar chatroom
[22:26] <moonbeam> thanks

[22:28] <_skpl> my session selector is gone from the panel in gdm, can someoen help
[22:28] <KB1JWQ> nerdy_kid: A log monitoring program.
[22:29] <KB1JWQ> nerdy_kid: logwatch is a good start, as is ossec-hids.
[22:29] <KB1JWQ> nerdy_kid: It all depends on what exactly it is you want to do though.
[22:29] <cube1> for some reason FEH writes weird files in the directories i view the images
[22:30] <nerdy_kid> KB1JWQ: ok, I have logwatch installed and I have a cron job that sends me a summary once a day, but I was thinking more real-time; or is that not really nessicary?
[22:30] <KB1JWQ> nerdy_kid: It depends.
[22:30] <KB1JWQ> nerdy_kid: What do you expect to see?
[22:30] <KB1JWQ> nerdy_kid: Realize I have several thousand servers I manage at $dayjob.  If each one emailed me every log entry my inbox would explode.
[22:31] <nerdy_kid> KB1JWQ: well, I have several servers, apache, postfix, ssh and basically I only want critical security alerts, such as if someone tried running a buffer overflow on my apache or something.
[22:31] <nerdy_kid> I am by no means a pro at this btw, just beginning :D
[22:32] <GrayFox> hi
[22:32] <shizzle> hello GrayFox
[22:33] <KB1JWQ> nerdy_kid: Check out ossec-hids in that case.
[22:33] <KB1JWQ> !ossec
[22:33] <Whitor> Hi. I asked a half hour or so ago... wondering if anyone new to the channel has any insight... I'm trying to get to an internal FQDN on my internal network. I can ping the IP, and the name resolves with nslookup. Yet, I cannot ping the name (ping: unknown host)  And I use the fqdn in firefox either (server not found) Yet the IP itself works in all cases. any ideas ?
[22:33] <KB1JWQ> Bah.
[22:33] <KB1JWQ> !dns | Whitor
[22:33] <nerdy_kid> KB1JWQ: lol, I'll google it up.  Thanks!
[22:34] <Whitor> KB1JWQ, not the issue.
[22:34] <KB1JWQ> nerdy_kid: No worries, and good luick.  Standalone mode for you should work.
[22:34] <KB1JWQ> Whitor: Sounds like it. :-)  You either haven't configured /etc/resolv.conf correctly, or else you aren't grasping how DNS works.
[22:34] <Whitor> KB1JWQ, I already have a DNS that works for 100+ computers already attached to the network ... and
[22:35] <KB1JWQ> Whitor: Draw us a picture of what's broken.  "<IP_ADDRESS> is server1.example.com, when I ping it..."
[22:35] <Whitor> As stated, nslookup does resolve the name correctly
[22:36] <cube1> for some reason FEH writes weird info files in the directories i view the images
[22:36] <javahorn_> Hi, any good ubuntu desktop clock ? any good link and easy to install? ;-)
[22:37] <Whitor> KB1JWQ, I do nslookup server2.avc.local (my internal domain) nslookup returns the IP of Server2.avc.local as its proper internal IP... I ping server2.avc.local... Ping returns: Ping: unknown host server2.avc.local
[22:37] <xrdodrx> Is the package "gnome-paint" broken for anyone else?
[22:37] <xrdodrx> I can't get menus to open or use the eraser
[22:38] <itaylor57> javahorn use xclock already installed
[22:38] <KB1JWQ> Whitor: And you don't have anything strange in /etc/hosts?
[22:39] <xrdodrx> Trying latest deb @ https://launchpad.net/gnome-paint....
[22:39] <javahorn> itaylor57:  thanks, skype is working n ow! :) i  want some fancy ones
[22:39] <javahorn> :)
[22:39] <xrdodrx> I wish the repos were kept up to date :\
[22:39] <javahorn> itaylor57:  anyone you can suggest?
[22:40] <shizzle> I just recently did a fresh install of 10.10 and installed all the repositories and apps that I want so now how do I create a ubuntu cd with everything that I have so that it will install it for me next time?
[22:40] <Whitor> KB1JWQ, I don't
[22:40] <erUSUL> javahorn: cairo-clock
[22:41] <javahorn> erUSUL:  how to install that or is it inbuilt?
[22:41] <xrdodrx> !customlivecd | shizzle

[22:41] <Whitor> it is bizzare
[22:42] <perry_> i need some help
[22:43] <KB1JWQ> !ask | perry_
[22:43] <Whitor> KB1JWQ, thanks for trying.. its time to go home... Ill pick this up later
[22:43] <KB1JWQ> Whitor: Quite.
[22:43] <KB1JWQ> Whitor: And you can't easily strace it to watch the gethostbyname() call because ping is SUID...
[22:44] <KB1JWQ> Whitor: Hmm, sudo bash first and strace -f ping HOST might be interesting to pastebin.
[22:44] <perry_> lol ok. i have a toshiba laptop and when i installed ubuntu my audio jack stopped working. any idea how to fix something like that?
[22:45] <KB1JWQ> !sound | perry_
[22:45] <Guest4865> mic or headphones?
[22:45] <jacekowski> perry_: most likely you're out of luck
[22:45] <erUSUL> !intelhda | perry_
[22:45] <jacekowski> perry_: but there is slim chance that it may work
[22:45] <TTA> during the installation of my ubuntu 10.10 when i select the language the screen displays :Ubi-language failed with exit code 2. further information maybe found in/var/log/syslog. And when i click on"try again" the message comes again
[22:46] <Axis> hello
[22:46] <TTA> what do i have to do now?
[22:46] <perry_> the intternal speakers work just not the jack
[22:46] <erUSUL> perry_: also try « sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-$(lsb_release -cs)-generic »
[22:46] <Axis> Is there a specific channel I should use for help or is this one ok?
[22:46] <erUSUL> Axis: this one is ok
[22:46] <alisalaah> Axis, #Ubuntu is the regular support channel
[22:47] <alisalaah> SO ask away :)
[22:47] <Axis> Ok, so basically I don't think I have the correct drivers installed for my system. I have an intel gma 4500m card and i'm using 10.10
[22:48] <Axis> My brightness doesn't change at all, and I'm trying to play a game others have no problem with. and I keep getting artifacts etc.
[22:48] <Axis> and i can't find any information about my current driver
[22:48] <soreau> Axis: What is the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer'? (after mesa-utils is installed)
[22:48] <Whitor> KB1JWQ, Garbledygook to me.... http://pastebin.com/VC1A1yZL
[22:49] <Whitor> but interesting
[22:49] <KB1JWQ> Whitor: Not to me. :-)  What does /etc/resolv.conf say?
[22:50] <the_metalgamer> ls
[22:50] <the_metalgamer> sorry
[22:50] <Axis> Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset GEM 20100330 DEVELOPMENT
[22:50] <the_metalgamer> wrong window
[22:50] <KB1JWQ> Whitor: It sadly starts with # Generated by NetworkManager
[22:50] <KB1JWQ> Which isn't likely to be doing you any favors if this isn't a laptop.
[22:50] <Whitor> KB1JWQ, http://pastebin.com/Fajd89gD
[22:50] <Axis> is this correct?
[22:51] <Whitor> KB1JWQ, this is a laptop
[22:51] <soreau> Axis: The output indicates your drivers are working correctly. If you would like to upgrade them, install xorg-edgers repo
[22:51] <tuzlo> can anyone tell me why ubuntu keeps loading the driver im blacklisting
[22:51] <TTA> i dont understand what people are asking me to do please
[22:51] <KB1JWQ> Ugh, why's it running a nameserver locally?  nscd is supposed to handle that, Whitor
[22:51] <bencc> can I mount skydrive on ubuntu?
[22:51] <KB1JWQ> Whitor: This is the only machine that's having issues, right?
[22:51] <Axis> soreau: how do I do that? just apt or something else?
[22:51] <Whitor> KB1JWQ, no idea... this is a fresh install of 10.04 with all updates. - installed today
[22:52] <nathic> I'm stuck I removed the GRUB entry because I installed Windows7. Unfortunately I don't have a disk which I could burn a Ubuntu installation on. So I wonder if there's a way to reinstall GRUB via windows 7. Thanks in advance
[22:52] <Whitor> KB1JWQ, yes. this is the only one with any issues
[22:52] <KB1JWQ> Whitor: I'd ask very nicely in #nm, since their crap software likes to cause all kinds of these "fun" issues. :-)
[22:52] <soreau> Axis: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental && sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:52] <soreau> Axis: optionally install and use ppa-purge to reverse the process
[22:52] <Whitor> heh. THanks KB1JWQ  I appreciate your assistance
[22:53] <Axis> its running now, what exactly is this doing?
[22:53] <KB1JWQ> Whitor: They're friendly. :-)
[22:53] <KB1JWQ> I'm curious myself.
[22:53] <soreau> Axis: It's installing xorg-edgers repo that contains latest X and the intel open driver stack
[22:53] <Axis> do I need to do something else to actually make them update?
[22:53] <Guest31773> hey guys
[22:54] <Axis> or just run ubuntu update?
[22:54] <Whitor> KB1JWQ, its going to have to wait for a bit... going home now. I'll use this to kill time during working hours tomorrow :)
[22:54] <soreau> Axis: You will want to reboot after it's finished to test it
[22:54] <Axis> ok, I will do.
[22:54] <Guest31773> how do i connect to #hellas
[22:54] <Axis> Thanks for the help =)
[22:54] <erUSUL> Guest31773: /join #hellas
[22:54] <nathic> I'm stuck I removed the GRUB entry because I installed Windows7. Unfortunately I don't have a disk which I could burn a Ubuntu installation on. So I wonder if there's a way to reinstall GRUB via windows 7. Thanks in advance
[22:55] <Axis> nathic: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1043943
[22:55] <Axis> Google has all the answers =)
[22:55] <soreau> Axis: No promises it will fix any problems but at least it's a newer different driver (hopefully better)
[22:55] <shizzle> nathic, do you have a usb drive?

[23:03] <noob> how to install squid server in ubuntu and use it local only for your own access?
[23:03] <geoffmcc> nathic: problem you may run into with using a big drive like that is that it needs to be bootable. may be better of getting a $10 2giger flash drive and then it will be super easy to install from usb
[23:03] <gnewb> introuble: There are other options, many of them.
[23:04] <introuble> gnewb like?
[23:04] <introuble> gnewb hibernate
[23:04] <introuble> gnewb can you tell me approximate standby time i can have?
[23:05] <iceroot> noob: let  squid listen on your loopback-device (<IP_ADDRESS>) instead of eth0

[23:05] <gnewb> introuble: Looking them up now,I am thinking about the Spin Down option to save power, then there are many  Ubuntu spins that are especially geared or set up for Laptops.
[23:06] <introuble> gnewb what is spin down>
[23:07] <gnewb> introuble: Spin the disks down and basically end the power consumption.
[23:07] <introuble> gnewb :)
[23:07] <leapy0yo> hi

[23:08] <introuble> if ic
[23:08] <introuble> if thanks
[23:08] <gnewb> introuble: What Hardware and Distribution are you using?
[23:08] <introuble> iflema thx
[23:09] <introuble> gnewb dell d 610
[23:09] <geoffmcc> leapy0yo: shouldnt have to do anything. unmount, unplug take with you and mount
[23:10] <leapy0yo> i want to make a drive to be networked availble to another computer
[23:10] <warrenchild> hello everyone!!! I have a question!! I set up a PPTP VPN using unbuntu server and it works perfectly!! I was wondering though how many people can connect at one time?
[23:10] <mattsmith> anyone know of a tiny distro that has no x server?  I want to install one on virtual box and only use openssh on it.  Trying to find the smallest distro that does that (with no x server)
[23:11] <geoffmcc> leapy0yo: best bet would be to add the usb drive to fstab so automounts on boot then setup as a shared resource
[23:11] <introuble>  my laptop gets hot too much. can cpu frequency scalling help me. if yes how?
[23:11] <Axis> It worked!
[23:11] <gnewb> introuble: UGeek has or suggests MicroMiser: > http://www.ubuntugeek.com/micromiser-power-saving-software-for-ubuntu-laptopsdesktopsservers.html
[23:12] <geoffmcc> introuble: mine does the same thing, however its the display adapter heating up not the pc
[23:12] <Axis> What was the command to automatically upgrade all of that again? I want to post it so others can upgrade and solve their problem with it as well
[23:12] <joshmclvl1> mattsmith: The smallest system is the one you build yourself ;) http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/
[23:13] <introuble> geoffmcc so what can i do
[23:13] <mattsmith> true...
[23:13] <introuble> geoffmcc so what can i do, is it dangeorous
[23:13] <gnewb> introuble: And this one from 2008/? > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReducedPowerUsage
[23:13] <octopurba_> true. . .
[23:13] <Axis> nevermind I found it in the log
[23:13] <mattsmith> was hoping that there was a distro that focused on that.  Haven't found one yet that doesn't include X
[23:13] <geoffmcc> introuble: question. does it always over heat or just when playing games or watching video
[23:13] <mickster04> Nakkel: can you not just uninstall x?
[23:14] <mickster04> mattsmith: can you not just uninstall x?
[23:14] <introuble> geoffmcc its over heating while iam just chating
[23:14] <mickster04> introuble: have you cleaned it?
[23:14] <mattsmith> I suppose I could.  But ubuntu server seems to come with a lot of other stuff too.
[23:14] <warrenchild> hello everyone!!! I have a question!! I set up a PPTP VPN using unbuntu server and it works perfectly!! I was wondering though how many people can connect at one time?
[23:14] <geoffmcc> introuble: prob a different issue. mine would do it very quickly playing guild wars and eventually when watching a movie.
[23:14] <introuble> mickster04 i just bought it
[23:15] <geoffmcc> introuble: i just made the screen brighter and then got sick of it and put ubuntu server and set it in a roll top desk with a fan under it to keep cool
[23:15] <matteo_> My desktop bar just disappeared.. any idea why and how to make it come back?
[23:15] <geoffmcc> introuble: screen brightness lower i meant
[23:16] <introuble> geoffb should i lower the screen brightness?
[23:16] <shizzle> Matteo which one?
[23:16] <gnewb> introuble: Also look at Lubuntu
[23:16] <mattsmith> ooh! ttylinux looks good.  I'll try that.
[23:16] <matteo_> shizzle the one on the desktop with volume, internet connection, wireless etc..
[23:16] <geoffmcc> introuble: you can try but if its overheating while not doing graphics intense stuff is probably a different issue than i had
[23:17] <shizzle> matteo just create a new panel and add all the applets to it
[23:17] <introuble> geoffb i lowered the screen brightness. the fan has slowed.
[23:17] <matteo_> shizzle mmm.. ok how to create a new panel?
[23:18] <introuble> geoffmcc if it is because of brightness. how can i work in dimm light...?
[23:18] <shizzle> matteo, right click on any panel that you do have and click on new panel
[23:18] <geoffmcc> introuble: yea i got sick of it and threw server edition on it and stuffed it in a desk with a fan
[23:18] <geoffmcc> introuble: do you have lmsensors - have u checked what the temp is
[23:19] <introuble> geoffmcc what are lmsensors. i dont know if i have one
[23:19] <geoffmcc> introuble: i think it runs as a different name - basically you can run a command and it will tell you the temp of your chip
[23:20] <matteo_> shizzle... sorry first time I use ubuntu.. let's restart again. what's a panel?
[23:21] <matteo_> let's say I'm on the desktop. What do I do to make the bar on the bottom to reappear?
[23:21] <shizzle> matteo, a panel is the bar at the top and bottom of the desktop
[23:22] <Starminn> matteo: Do you have a top panel or are they both gone?
[23:22] <geoffmcc> introuble: sudo apt-get install lm-sensors then run sudo sensors-detect .. go threw that and then sensors -f (unless u use celcious)
[23:22] <matteo_> starminn, shizzle.. gone.. just a blank wallpaper with few icons.. no panels or bars
[23:22] <Starminn> !restartpanel | matteo_
[23:22] <_Narc_> Hi everyone. When I'm loging in on Maverick, the login sounds plays after a pause, wallpaper loads after a while and Gnome takes 15 more seconds to load. Any suggestion how to speed it up ? Thanks a lot.
[23:22] <shizzle> matteo, hit ALT-F2 and type gnome panel
[23:23] <Starminn> !resetpanel | matteo_
[23:23] <Starminn> matteo_: Just run the command I gave you and everything will be reset to its originals.
[23:24] <jon_athon> how do I restart the driver for my touchpad?
[23:25] <Gambit--> hey guys
[23:25] <Starminn> matteo_: Did it work?
[23:25] <matteo_> Starminn: tried but didnt work
[23:26] <Gambit--> Can someone running 10.10 do "ld -v" and report back what version you have?
[23:26] <Starminn> matteo_: You open up a Terminal and type injust plain "killall gnome-panel" then. It really should work.
[23:26] <ghostnik11> hi quick question, for windows in terms of free anti virus software that you can put on a windows laptop, i wanted to know what people thought about malwarebytes and how is it and if it is good as an anti-virus protector
[23:26] <Starminn> Gambit--: GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.20.51-system.20100908
[23:26] <geoffmcc> Gambit: i only have a shell to my 10.10 server up but i am getting GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.20.51-system.20100908
[23:27] <Gambit--> gotcha, thanks
[23:27] <Starminn> ghostnik11: For Windows-related questions, ask in ##windows
[23:27] <ghostnik11> starminn: didn't know windows had a channel, thanks
[23:27] <silk> Is there someone that can answer a question about a seemingly broken dependancy in the lucid-main repo?
[23:27] <Oins> Hi. How can I prevent mysql to start during boot process. I removed all rc's with 'update-rc.d -f mysql remove', but after reboot, mysqld is still running...
[23:27] <matteo_> Starminn: getting crazy.. no luck.. any suggestion?
[23:27] <silk> more specifically a tzdata-java dependancy on tzdata
[23:27] <Starminn> ghostnik11: It's an unofficial channel, but that's where everybody goes for Windows help.
[23:27] <geoffmcc> silk: only one way to find out --- ask
[23:28] <iflema> introuble:  in a terminal try    cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature
[23:28] <silk> When attempting to install tzdata-java:
[23:28] <silk> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[23:28] <silk>   tzdata-java: Depends: tzdata (= 2010i-1) but 2011b-0ubuntu0.10.04 is to be installed
[23:28] <Starminn> matteo_: What message does it give you?
[23:28] <geoffmcc> silk: use pastebin for copy and paste to irc
