[17:55] <fyrm> Dr_willis, i did. i keep getting errors in Ubuntu
[17:55] <Lord_E> n8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/128875/
[17:55] <n2diy> something horrible happened to one of my computers. The GDM user gdm does not exisist, sshd does not exsist,  dns does not exsist, ntp does not exsist, and on and on. I tried the grub recovery options to fix broken packages and the X server, with no luck. Then I tried to use the root shell, but that doesn't work, because now there is no passwd entry for root! Is there any hope for this box? Update, I'm now on the box using Busybox,
[17:55] <n2diy> so I have access to the file system.
[17:55] <H3l1c0pt3r> what is a website i can go to, to see custom ubuntu desktops (screenshots) and where i can post mine and get ideas and such for customization?
[17:55] <nagyv> how can I send a file via usb from windows mobile to my laptop? it finds my laptop in the list, but when I select it I always get "unsuccessful". on the other hand dmesg gives no information at all.
[17:56] <Lord_E> ~dns
[17:56] <fosco__> H3l1c0pt3r, gnome-look.org
[17:56] <benste> fosco__: aptitude got the same error like APT ;-) the 2nd is in progress
[17:57] <Dr_willis> n2diy,  boot live cd, chroot in.. or try.. sounds like some /etc/ files got messed up like /etc/passwd or /etc/groups
[17:58] <battlesquid> i have problems with configuring mailfilter - the application timed out while trying to query the configured mailserver. i run mx on my ubuntu 8.04 server. does anyone here know what i should put in the .mailfilterrc file SERVER directive?
[17:58] <n2diy> Dr_willis: that is exactly how I got to Busybox, but now I'm stumped, how do I re-create the root account?
[17:58] <Lord_E> n8tuser - how do i check dns entries?
[17:59] <Dr_willis> n2diy,  good question. Not sure.  if you booted a live cd, you shiould be in a full shell. not just busybox.  you could compare  your /etc/ files with the defaults on another system
[18:00] <n2diy> ok, sounds like a re-install would be simpler, but I'd love to rescue this box, just for the sake of doing it.
[18:01] <Dr_willis> n2diy,  i have to wonder how the stuff got messed up. filesystem check went bad? check lost+found?
[18:02] <n2diy> Dr_willis: yes, that is the goal. I suspect an old tired hard drive? I have chkrootkit installed, and that ran clean.
[18:03] <rasstamann> does any1 have a link to detailed commands for ubuntu terminal?
[18:03] <Dr_willis> rasstamann,  the 'shell'  is documented at dozens if not 1000's of web sites
[18:03] <jackd> rasstamann: http://www.ss64.com/bash/
[18:03] <jackd> one of the 1000 websites
[18:03] <Dr_willis> rasstamann,  tjheres always the man pages also :)
[18:04] <Dr_willis> !terminal
[18:04] <Dr_willis> another :)
[18:04] <rasstamann> well, I just installed it so I don;t know what to look for :) and thanx a lot :)
[18:04] <nagyv> how can I send a file via bluetooth from windows mobile to my laptop? it finds my laptop in the list, but when I select it I always get "unsuccessful". on the other hand dmesg gives no information at all.
[18:04] <Dr_willis> rasstamann,  google for bash tutorials
[18:04] <jackd> nagyv: have you paired your devices?
[18:05] <nagyv> jackd: probably not. How can I do that?
[18:05] <travisthepirate> After recently restarting my computer, on shutdown it hangs at "Stopping Bluetooth" I forced a shutdown, turned my box on, and it then hangs at "Starting Bluetooth"  I am now stuck in an infinite loop of shutting down and starting up.  any suggestions?
[18:05] <leohemanth> Hi unable to configure modem to work on ubuntu, in India, using bsnl dataone connection
[18:06] <jackd> nagyv: its very easy. but i cant tell you exactly how because i use kde. but basicly you should find somewhere in your taskbar on your BT icon a way to pair your devices.
[18:06] <Dillizar> arvind_khadri, any new ideas or can i ask my question again
[18:06] <travisthepirate> do i just need to reinstall ubuntu?
[18:06] <arvind_khadri> Dillizar, http://www.cookingwithlinux.com/content/invidious-nvidia-fx5200-installation-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron
[18:07] <kyledr> anyone know how i can change the owner from one user to another user for all files owned by a certain user in a homedir and its subdirs (including dotfiles) but not for files owned by someone else (such as root)
[18:07] <Dr_willis> travisthepirate,  boot rescue mode and remove the bluetoothe service perhaps..
[18:07] <Dr_willis> kyledr,  with creative use of the 'find' command is one way
[18:07] <fuzeboxsoftware> how do i put the chatzilla in the firefox tabs, so i just have one window open?
[18:08] <nibsa1242b> I need help, I have no sound. I had sound until yesterday, everything seems like its configured properly. I can't restart right now (transcoding a dv video, will take ~4more hours). Please help.
[18:08] <Dr_willis> fuzeboxsoftware,  the chatzilla page suggests to NOT do that. it can cause problems
[18:08] <fuzeboxsoftware> :/
[18:08] <Dr_willis> fuzeboxsoftware,  read the chatzilla faq/docs - it mentions that
[18:09] <fuzeboxsoftware> Didn't know that it did, actually I have just started recently using it, have always used mirc
[18:09] <travisthepirate> you can get xchat, a gui program that is just like mirc
[18:09] <Dr_willis> fuzeboxsoftware,  take mirc.. and drag it to the trash.. and never look back :)
[18:09] <kyledr> Dr_willis: i tried "find . -user register|xargs chown regtest" but it tells me "getting attributes of 'Custum': no such file or directory", i think it has some relative path problem
[18:10] <fuzeboxsoftware> lol @ Dr_willis
[18:10] <Dr_willis> kyledr,  or could be spaces in filenames issue.
[18:10] <fuzeboxsoftware> Nothing wrong with mirc :P
[18:10] <nagyv> jackd: ok, I've paired them, I checked and can send files from the laptop to the phone, but not the other way. Do you have any ideas which logs might help me? I even added the phone as trusted.
[18:10] <nibsa1242b> I think a program crash may have killed my sound. How do I get it back without restarting.
[18:10] <fuzeboxsoftware> xchat is my alternative, at least before I found chatzilla :D
[18:10] <travisthepirate> chatzilla is nice but i don't see the point of slowing down firefox anymore than you have to if you have a standalone irc client...
[18:11] <Dr_willis> I perfer xchat to chatzilla
[18:11]  * smotchkkiss creates a petition to rename ubuntu to unbuntu
[18:11] <jackd> nagyv: hmm. maybe you have configured somewhere that your pc should deny incoming files. but basicly if the devices are paried it should be possible to send files easily in both ways. it works here also with windows mobile 6.
[18:11] <bigrigger> fuzeboxsoftware: open/use two instances of firefox, problem solved.
[18:11] <n2diy> Dr_willis: found a clue, /etc/group has changed, and the time jives with the problem. And the permissions changed frow 600, to 644.
[18:11]  * arvind_khadri thrashes the petition !!!!
[18:11] <Dr_willis> n2diy,  thats weird. :) but it does sound like a possible root cause.
[18:12] <nagyv> jackd: that's strange as I've just configured the opposite :(

[18:12] <H3l1c0pt3r> I am editing a .conf file for a screenlet skin, and i wanted to change some colors but in the .conf file all the colors are in this format "color = (1,1,1,0.8)" and I am unsure how to enterpret that into a color
[18:13] <cOmpiZ|BNC> hi
[18:13] <smotchkkiss> arvind_khadri: nooooes
[18:13] <nagyv> jackd:  I see 4 accessible services, two of them are running: audio and input. the other two are stopped: network, serial. Could this be a problem?
[18:13] <smotchkkiss> arvind_khadri: what about unbuntun?
[18:13] <jackd> nagyv: yeah maybe. i am not sure about it because it works here out of the box. but you can try enabling them :)
[18:14] <SkyNetMaster> hi, it seems nuts but I cant find spell configuration option in Kile, where is it?
[18:14] <arvind_khadri> smotchkkiss, ask MS :)

[18:17] <root__> Hae all am trying to delete a file using rm -rf but I get the following message rm: cannot remove `/media/WANKIM/VO.CE': Read-only file system
[18:17] <kyledr> Dr_willis: it is spaces. how do you recommend i deal with it? in fact the strange thing is that only files with spaces are showing up in find . -user register, but that's definitely not all that should show up
[18:18] <jestinjoy> how to change login/logout window using CLI?
[18:19] <sebsebseb>
[18:19] <root__> anyone with an idea on how to delete a read-only filesystem?
[18:19] <Dvlpr> wtf is with pidgin, anyone knows?
[18:21] <kyledr> Dr_willis: oh wait i'm being wrong, but the problem is with spaces, the find part works fine though
[18:21] <bigrigger> root__: sudo rm -rf /media/WANKIN/V0.CE

[18:22] <wistol> Hi, I just installed ubuntu 8.1 on my 2nd HDD (IDE), i had windows installed on the 1st HDD (SATA). I can boot fine into ubuntu but when I set the SATA drive with windows as the primary is says "DISK BOOT FAILURE"
[18:22] <Pici> !jaunty | another_guy
[18:22] <kyledr> how do i deal with output from one command having a space in the filename when piping to xargs?
[18:22] <root__> another_guy: check whether compiz is enabled
[18:22] <daftykins> root__, it's very bad practice to run programs such as Xchat as root, FYI
[18:22] <another_guy> thanks ubottu
[18:22] <another_guy> pici, i meantt
[18:22] <Dillizar> !xorg
[18:23] <wistol> anyone?
[18:23] <root__> daftykins: am not running xchat as root, am explaining that am using the command rm in root user
[18:23] <jestinjoy> how to change login/logout window using CLI?
[18:23] <Dr_willis> jestinjoy,  disable the GDM service
[18:23] <bigrigger> root__: ar you sure it's mounted. i've seen un-mounted usb sticks still show up in a ls -l when they aren't mounted, go figure.
[18:23] <daftykins> ok just thought it was due to the nickname, sorry
[18:23] <Dr_willis> !upstart
[18:23] <H3l1c0pt3r> quibbler, thanks, i guess what i mean is im looking for a color generator/converter so i can see what this color is "background = (0.17,0.63,0.043,1)"
[18:23] <travisthepirate> !chroot
[18:24] <Dr_willis> jestinjoy,  see the upstart docs/sysv infomation
[18:24] <H3l1c0pt3r> quibbler, from what i understand the last value is the opacity
[18:24] <wistol> Hi, I just installed ubuntu 8.1 on my 2nd HDD (IDE), i had windows installed on the 1st HDD (SATA). I can boot fine into ubuntu but when I set the SATA drive with windows as the primary is says "DISK BOOT FAILURE"
[18:25] <bigrigger> root__: in root user and 'as' root user could be construed as two differents things..?
[18:25] <jestinjoy> I want to change it in the live cd .i mean customiation........I want to change the default.........
[18:25] <nibsa1242b> wistol: are you setting the windows drive as primary in the BIOS or in grub?
[18:25] <wistol> BIOS
[18:25] <nibsa1242b> wistol: you can try disconnecting the 2nd drive and seeing if it'll boot then
[18:25] <mefiX> does any1 know how to configure the behaviour of metacity as composite-manager? i'd like to disable some effects (alt+tab with previews)??
[18:25] <Dillizar> ive just  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[18:26] <nibsa1242b> wistol: also, during your Ubuntu install, where did you install Grub?
[18:26] <yakodzu> hello people. how can I call action from action not using redirect?
[18:26] <Dr_willis> Dillizar,  change ? to be k or g for kdm or gdm
[18:26] <Dr_willis> Dillizar,   using ? camn cause issues :)
[18:26] <wistol> i don't recall ever seeing it ask me where to install it
[18:26] <nibsa1242b> wistol: by default it likes to install on the primary (boot) hd; so that could be the source of your issues
[18:26] <yakodzu> actions are both inside one controller
[18:26] <malikyoda> I'm formatting an sdhc card for my home directory and swap space, should it be primary or logical?
[18:26] <Dr_willis> malakhi,  either.. i always use primary if i can
[18:26] <Pici> yakodzu: This is the Ubuntu support channel, are you in the right place?
[18:27] <wistol> when i boot from the HDD with ubuntu, i see the grub thing pop up
[18:27] <Dillizar> k Dr_willis nope not can nvidia i installed the drivers without the X and now i cant get it to work so i am trying to restart Xorg
[18:27] <yakodzu> oops ^) sorry
[18:27] <malikyoda> ok, both the swap and /home can be primary
[18:27] <malikyoda> ?
[18:27] <Dr_willis> Dillizar,  restarting gdm,  will cause X to quit/restart - correct..
[18:27] <nibsa1242b> wistol: ok, well maybe grub is installed on the 2nd drive... but normally it likes to install on the boot device unless you tell it differently.
[18:27] <wistol> i can also access the grub menu and i can select which ubuntu to boot, but windows isnt an option
[18:27] <Dr_willis> malikyoda,  yes.
[18:27] <Zero_Burn> Hi all, someone here knows how to fix skype on ubuntu, i got it installed, but i cant make it to work, it says that its a problem with audio playback, but the music players works and everything.
[18:28] <Dr_willis> malikyoda,  4 primaries per device is the normal limit
[18:28] <wistol> ok if i install it on the HDD with windows will i be able to dual boot windows/ubuntu?
[18:28] <nibsa1242b> wistol: easy way to fix is remove secondary ( ubuntu drive ), and use windows recovery console to do a " fix /mbr " that should get your windows booting
[18:28] <malikyoda> so I'd be ok to leave them all primary
[18:28] <malikyoda> ok
[18:28] <muita> how do I format an mp3 player with a vfat filesystem? help please
[18:29] <Dillizar> Dr_willis, is my xorg restarted now like it was from the beginning
[18:29] <arvind_khadri> muita, plug it in... rhythmbox will pick it up
[18:29] <nibsa1242b> wistol: I think the installer can take care of dual booting, but I'm not sure. I've never trusted it and always done everything by hand.
[18:29] <Dr_willis> wistol,  it should set it all up.
[18:29] <wistol> ok
[18:29] <arvind_khadri> wistol, did you install ubuntu after you installed windows?
[18:30] <wistol> yes i installed ubuntu after
[18:30] <muita> arvind_khadri: I want to format(delete) the contents, aparently they are refusing claiming that the file system is read-only
[18:30] <nibsa1242b> wistol: my preferred method of things is: install XP on HD1 with no other HDs connected. install ubuntu on HD2 with no other HDs connected. use BIOS to select which HD to boot from.
[18:30] <mojojojo__> hi all, i'm running into a strange problem.

[18:35] <Zero_Burn> BrandonB: Yes what i've relize
[18:35] <minche> flash is not working since i updated it
[18:35] <muita> jigspan: just ask
[18:35] <minche> please
[18:35] <minche> anyone
[18:35] <fuzeboxsoftware> doktoreas: not sure then :(
[18:36] <fuzeboxsoftware> doktoreas: I remember have probs with that on the windows version
[18:36] <jigspan> sudo poff cammand not working
[18:36] <muita> minche: to save you alot of trouble just uninstall it and reinstall it
[18:36] <nat2610> which file is the best to add folder in my $PATH ? .zshrc (I'm using zsh) ?
[18:37] <minche> i tried reinstalling it
[18:37] <BrandonB> Another question, My syst em wil only boot up if I start up recovery mode then press rsume...
[18:37] <shey> Is there an Ubuntu/Macbook specific channel?
[18:37] <arvind_khadri> muita, did you google?
[18:37] <jigspan> flash not working
[18:37] <hitman_beginner> hello
[18:37] <quibbler> doktoreas: try using a new profile and see if that helps...in a terminal : firefox -p
[18:37] <muita> arvind_khadri: for almost a week
[18:38] <Viata> shey: what is your issue?

[18:38] <minche> and nothin
[18:38] <minche> g
[18:38] <BrandonB> Another question, My syst em wil only boot up if I start up recovery mode then press rsume... hoe can iget it to boot normaly
[18:38] <shey> Viata: Intrepid won't boot after an install. No other OS's, just a flashing folder with a '?' in it.
[18:39] <jigspan> any answer for my quistion
[18:40] <shey> Viata: google doesn't come up with much, cept something about a bug in the Intrepid installer.
[18:40] <bigrigger> nat2610: use ~/.zshrc add 'export $PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:'  should work, adjust path as desired.
[18:40] <voix> alor?
[18:40] <muita> minche: try to type atleast the first letter of a user and press Tab key for the full user name to appear then type your message, this helps one to know that your are being addressed to, anyway just remove flash completely and delete .flash in your user folder then install afresh
[18:40] <fosco__> !flash | jiggles
[18:40] <jigspan> i can not terminate my pppoe connection with poff cmd
[18:40] <shey> gnash is good.

[18:49] <BrandonB> Ubuntu 8.10
[18:49] <BrandonB> Dell Optiplex GX260
[18:49] <shey> and your processor?
[18:49] <mikebeecham> is there any artwork available to view for Jaunty Jackalope?
[18:50] <quibbler> minche: what does  about:plugins in firefox say for shockware flash

[18:50] <Viata> shey: i'm still looking at the wiki for installing it on a macbook on the help.ubuntu site
[18:50] <shey> you did only get the 32b one right?
[18:50] <shey> Viata: ty so much
[18:50] <BrandonB> I gtg
[18:50] <shey> OK
[18:50] <minche> quibbler, it says it is enabled
[18:51] <Dillizar> can any body help me with my xorg?
[18:51] <Viata> shey: are you able to boot into the 8.10 live CD still (by holding the option key when booting, but I think you already know)
[18:51] <shey> Viata: yup, Im in it now.
[18:51] <quibbler> minche: where does it say the plugin is ..which folder
[18:51] <Viata> shey: and the installer, when it gets to the partition editor, doesn't see anything?
[18:52] <shey> Viata: Im also able to chroot to the install(ed) directory
[18:52] <shey> Viata: lemme check gParted.
[18:52] <shey> sec..
[18:52] <Dillizar> here is the http://paste.ubuntu.com/128892/ of my xorg if any body can help will be awesome
[18:52] <Viata> ok
[18:52] <minche> quibbler, ehh, it doesnt say anything about the folder
[18:52] <Viata> dillizar: what is your issue?
[18:52] <minche> there is only MIME type, sufixes and enabled field
[18:53] <Dillizar> Viata, nvidia drivers
[18:53] <shey> BTW: when its not so buggy, Ubuntu runs SO MUCH BETTER than OS X on a macbook. I highly recommend it.
[18:53] <danbhfive> Dillizar: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[18:53] <Dillizar> danbhfive, 8.04
[18:53] <quibbler> minche: look here: /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so  ....do you have this file?
[18:53] <Chubakur> 8.04 its very old :-)
[18:54] <Dillizar> Chubakur, there isnt other ubuntu that is new and not buggy :P
[18:54] <danbhfive> Dillizar: well, I know that you arent using nvidia drivers, but I don't really know how to fix the problem.  Did you use the restricted drivers manager to install your drivers?
[18:54] <Dillizar> danbhfive, yes they are in-use
[18:55] <minche> quibbler, yes
[18:55] <danbhfive> Dillizar: well, the manager screwed up, cause they arent according to that xorg.  You could try changing "nv" to "nvidia"   and see what happens.
[18:55] <shey> Dillizar: Intrepid is nice, and not 'so' buggy
[18:55] <Viata> dillizar: you said you're using the restricted drivers for nvidia.  can you go into terminal and type: nvidia-settings?
[18:56] <Las1> When I try to install I get this: "main-menu[3054]: WARNING **: Configuring 'pkgsel' failed with error code 1" and "main-menu[3054]: WARNING **: Menu item 'pkgsel' failed."
 Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server
[18:56] <zipper> hi . i installed kubuntu by wubi. kubuntu waiting at boot on swap file active  section
[18:57] <Dillizar> Viata, but i have tried that already
[18:57] <cactusfrog> ok
[18:57] <cactusfrog> so xchat and firefox
[18:57] <cactusfrog> just quit them
[18:57] <danbhfive> Dillizar: then try what I said please
[18:57] <cactusfrog> or end the prosses
[18:57] <LordFDisk> Dillizar,  I used envy-qt to find the right one for me.  but make sure that you remove the old ones first
[18:57] <Chubakur> cactusfrog, using qutim
[18:57] <FloodBot2> cactusfrog: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:57] <Chubakur> it nice
[18:57] <zipper> hi . i installed kubuntu by wubi. kubuntu waiting at boot on swap file active  section
[18:57] <Dillizar> LordFDisk, how can i remove them
[18:57] <Dillizar> !Intrepid
[18:57] <minche> quibbler, hmm there is no /plugins/ folder =/
[18:58] <flo_> hi, does anyone know why `expr 20 * 3` returns "expr: syntax error" ? all other operands (*,/,-,$) work perfectly ...
[18:58] <Dillizar> shey, lol 8.10 nope doesnt work for me tooooo much things not working on it dunno why camera, Gnomad2 you name it
[18:58] <cactusfrog> ok when i type ps aux | grep pidgin i get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/128895/ why do i get this error and how can i fix it?
[18:59] <Viata> shey: I am not really sure then, but I'm searching around online a bit.  It sounds like the installer from the live CD, after seeing the partitions, should be able to repartition them itself
[18:59] <minche> quibbler, but it worked before the update =/
[18:59] <bigrigger> cactusfrog: type kill 10648
[18:59] <shey> Viata: its ok, Ill go back to hardy then
[18:59] <acu> I want to make the mouse pointer BIG - as big as possible for an older person - I use GNOME can anyone tell me how to do it
[18:59] <LordFDisk> you could look through synaptic and remove them that way
[19:00] <Viata> shey: ok.  But according to their site on help.ubuntu.com, 8.10 should work just fine with the macbooks.  Anyway, I'm sorry I couldn't help more.  Best of luck
[19:00] <cactusfrog> thank you its working
[19:00] <cactusfrog> but in the future what should i do to get it working how do i know what to kill?
[19:00] <Las1> When I try to install I get this: "main-menu[3054]: WARNING **: Configuring 'pkgsel' failed with error code 1" and "main-menu[3054]: WARNING **: Menu item 'pkgsel' failed." and it fails

[19:02] <tony426> i want to paste something but when it's closed out, it's not in the clipboard anymore. is there so setting in gnome to fix this?
[19:02] <cactusfrog> how did you know what to kill
[19:02] <hitman_beginner> plz help
[19:02] <Viata> cactusfrog: in terminal, the command "ps aux | grep pidgeon" will show you if it's running or not
[19:02] <red-lichtie> tony426: Some applications clear their entries in the clipboard before exiting
[19:02] <danbhfive> tj83: I suspect not.  Whats happening is that grub is just passing off to the windows bootloader.  Unless you have the windows bootloader installed twice, you can't have two entries.  And windows always installs a single bootloader, and to the mbr.  Windows is a bit unflexible about that
[19:03] <Viata> (check spelling of pidgeon, it may be "pidgin")

[19:03] <tony426> red-lichtie: is this some kind of security feature?
[19:04] <red-lichtie> tony426: I think it's just the way the clipboard works
[19:05] <red-lichtie> hitman_beginner: What language do you need ?
[19:05] <minche> quibbler, still not working
[19:05] <minche> anywho gotta go now

[19:08] <sebsebseb> Zeldarock: Ubuntu is not Vista, so  ultimate edition?????  if there is such a thing it would be unoffical
[19:09] <_VIM_> bigrigger: you forgot 'install' :)
[19:09] <Zeldarock> there is such a thing as Ubuntu Ultimate, I take it its unofficial
[19:09] <bigrigger> _VIM_: so i did, thank you
[19:09] <Viata> Zeldarock: where did you find this Ubuntu Ultimate at?
[19:09] <_VIM_> :D
[19:09] <Zeldarock> will compiz fusion work on Virtualbox?
[19:09] <sebsebseb> Zeldarock: I think in general it's best to use real  Ubuntu
[19:09] <DJones> !ultimate | Zeldarock
[19:09] <MrHeavy> it's ubuntu ricer edition basically
[19:10] <_VIM_> Zeldarock: no
[19:10] <bigrigger> Viata: thats probably a paid support thing
[19:10] <MrHeavy> if your computer has a case window with blue leds inside it you may benefit from ubuntu ultimate edition
[19:10] <Viata> bigrigger: you may be right, I've never heard of it though
[19:10] <sebsebseb> Zeldarock: maybe with the experimental OpenGL suppourt
[19:11] <Zeldarock> the 3d effcts will not enable under VitrualBox, I've tried. Is it supposed to?
[19:11] <sebsebseb> Zeldarock:  I guess not
[19:11] <Dillizar> http://paste.ubuntu.com/128902/ can any body look at my Xorg now and tell me why its not working the nvidia drivers
[19:12] <_VIM_> Zeldarock: nope
[19:12] <Zeldarock> so I'm gonna have to go with a full install of linux?
[19:12] <Zeldarock> er... ubuntu
[19:12] <_VIM_> you make that sound as if that's bad
[19:13] <Zeldarock> well I'm not ready for all the changes, especially hardware compatibility and gaming
[19:13] <pepito567> asd
[19:13] <_VIM_> gaming? bah get a console

[19:15] <Wyall> Sorry, i think this question was asked many times today, but is there a problem with pidgin and ICQ?
[19:15] <_VIM_> or make an alias.......  alias install="sudo apt-get install"         then type bash         then type install build-essential    :)
[19:16] <danbhfive> christophe: is your drive full?

[19:16] <MaxDrAkyla> How update pidgin?
[19:16] <christophe> danbhfive : good question, check it now
[19:16] <Wyall> there's no update i think...

[19:19] <Wyall> I dont have AOL :P
[19:19] <zagibu> why are the ubuntu packagers too slow to update pidgin, before icq-support breaks? it happens at least twice every year!
[19:21] <gaurav__> hi
[19:21] <tritium> zagibu: they are updated every six months, with each release, unless there are interim security updates.
[19:22] <sentix> Whoa, going to start checking the ubuntu bug board, FF3 has become completely unstable/unusable since I updated today
[19:23] <bigrigger> pisse: name the source filename.c then cc filename.c then look for an 'a.out' file, thats the compiled program

[19:23] <Neffi> Simple question: What's the max Ubuntu should take to boot?

[19:24] <tj83> Hi all... seeking a Grub multiboot expert for advice. Multi booting XP,Vista,Fedora10,Ubuntu8.04 Order of install the same as listed. Grub list XP and Vista as one entry loading windows bootloader then can choose xp or vista.... how can i manually add these two OS's and get rid of the windows bootloader?
[19:24] <bigrigger> Neffi: a few minutes tops
[19:24] <tritium> Neffi: depends on your hardware
[19:24] <pisse> bigrigger: "gmpxx.h: No such file or directory"
[19:24] <tj83> Dillizar, you have multiple devices for video card
[19:25] <Neffi> tritium: 30 min and still on the init screen. The comp is old, but I'm assuming it's a problem and abnormal. I don't know though.
[19:25] <Neffi> Old as in, from around 2002
[19:25] <DontTaseMeBro> lart
[19:25] <tritium> Neffi: yes, sounds like a problem.
[19:25] <Neffi> I try to verify the CD and it does the same thing. Just hangs on a screen that looks the same.
[19:25] <stickboy> for some reason Geany can compile a program but then cannot run it, because it fails to open up a terminal window. Anyone have any ideas why? It works fine if I use another IDE such as code::blocks to compile and run first.
[19:26] <Neffi> Burned the thing three times. Final time at only 4x speed.  :(
[19:26] <brandonban6> Neffi, check out Xubuntu, I run it on a Dell 8400, it has a light windows manager (XFCE) may have better luck :)
[19:26] <Dillizar> tj83, meaning what?
[19:26] <bigrigger> pisse: you'll have to find that, seems ubuntu doesn't have it. I would have to look
[19:27] <tj83> Dillizar, meaning your xorg.conf has been all chopped up my guess envy look for older backups and see if you can restore to it and then manually get your drivers up.
[19:27] <sentix> Neffi: What step is it hanging on in init?
[19:27] <pisse> bigrigger: ok, I've tried to download it and get a catalog with loads of files in it.. you know where I'm supposed to put that? just anywhere and then include and link to it?
[19:28] <Dillizar> tj83, can you help me :( pls i am on my edge of survival ! if i dont do this i will die pls help
[19:28] <crdlb> Dillizar: there's nothing really wrong with your xorg.conf
[19:28] <bigrigger> pisse: i'm looking, forget where those are
[19:28] <ElDLo> Hey I have a question about Ndiswrapper and I was hoping someone could help.
[19:28] <tw1tch> Dillizar: do you use the X server configurator tool in repos for nvidia cards?
[19:28] <pisse> bigrigger: ok
[19:29] <Dillizar> tw1tch, since i dont know what is that i will say NO! :)
[19:29] <Neffi> sentix: Unsure. I can't even remember what it said now. I'm gonna try booting with different parameters now and if it fails again I'll write it down.
[19:29] <tj83> Dillizar, tw1tch suggest a solution... but it likely got you where you are now... you need to look at old xorg.conf files see what you have and revert to maybe the original when you installed.
[19:29] <bigrigger> pisse: it would need to be in your path, in /usr/include/ usually
[19:30] <tj83> Dillizar, one other solution is to boot the live cd and then take a snipit from that xorg.conf and apply it to yours.
[19:30] <Dillizar> tj83, where can i find the old and GOOD xorg
[19:30] <javierfa> hi
[19:30] <bigrigger> pisse: forget the path, look in /usr/include/  your source code tells it that.
[19:30] <tj83> Dillizar, if present... it will be along with your current file. /etc/X11/
[19:31] <crdlb> Dillizar: how did you install the nvidia driver?
[19:31] <Dillizar> aham tj83 that is not bad but a lot of work but i can copy all the xorg
[19:31] <trask1> any recommendations on whats fun to mess around with, new and at the same time teach me a bit more ubuntu?
[19:31] <kallepersson> Hi! How would I make sure that my home server running Ubuntu keeps the same internal IP even during server/router reboots?
[19:31] <Dillizar> crdlb, by sudo sh
[19:31] <Petengy> hi to all
[19:31] <crdlb> Dillizar: the nvidia installer? :/
[19:31] <Dillizar> yes :D crdlb
[19:31] <Dillizar> no good??
[19:31] <tj83> Dillizar, yes... you can try the complete xord fromt he live cd... but backup your current file first :)!
[19:32]  * tj83 cant type today
[19:32] <Petengy> I looking for a way to open my old pst (outlook mail) archive in Ubuntu, is there an app to do it ?
[19:32] <crdlb> Dillizar: not a great idea imho, but now that you've done it, we can try to make it work
[19:32] <zagibu> tritium: well, no, they certainly update pidgin inbetween releases, because ICQ support broke last summer as well, and they updated it before 8.10
[19:32] <pisse> bigrigger: yeah there are loads of stuff in there.. no gmp though. So the whole catalog "gmp-4.2.4" goes there then?
[19:32] <zagibu> i'm just wondering why they can't update it BEFORE ICQ support breaks
[19:32] <Dillizar> crdlb, yeah pls before my girlfriend killed me :D
[19:33] <bigrigger> pisse: I can't guarentee it will, but most likely it will.
[19:33] <ElDLo> I believe I have succesfully installed Ndiswrapper. I also have seemingly installed my wireless card. When I do "ndiswrapper -l" the driver and the card both show up as installed and enabled, yet when I do "iwlist scan" it says no connection is found, and I can't seem to establish one. Any tips on what I might be doing wrong?
[19:33] <bigrigger> pisse: my boxes  don't have gmpxx.h either
[19:34] <proq> does anyone have a recent howto for booting OS X Leopard?  I added root=hd(0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 but OS X won't boot from my grub menu.lst file
[19:34] <pisse> bigrigger: but you can use the lib?
[19:34] <crdlb> Dillizar: pastebin the output of dmesg | grep -i nvidia
[19:35] <bigrigger> pisse: I haven't tried, i doubt it since it doesn't exist
[19:35] <Petengy> how to open pst mail archive in Ubuntu.... someone knows ?
[19:35] <shey> proq: you got Intrepid booting?
[19:35] <shey> O.o
[19:35] <pisse> bigrigger: I'll try to put the catalog in /usr/include and hope for the best?

[19:35] <proq> shey, yes, it boots on a brand new iMac
[19:35] <bigrigger> pisse: have you tried the compile?
[19:36] <Dillizar> crdlb, http://paste.ubuntu.com/128913/
[19:36] <pisse> bigrigger: the compile?
[19:36] <proq> shey: I just don't want to hold down option to boot into OS X
[19:36] <Daremonai> I have ventrilo server running on ubuntu 8.10, I can connect to it within my local IP thus from 192.168.1.x, but when people from outside try to login, they can't do so, however, telnetting to port 3784 (ventrilo, works fine) and ventrilo server shows that someone connected but it wasn't successful (telnet)
[19:36] <Dillizar> crdlb, i will be right back pls wait
[19:36] <benste> firefox woun't start with error "Could not find compatible GRE between version ... " even after dpkg-reconfigure -a
[19:36] <Dr_willis> tj83,   save the menu.lst that each linux os generates somewhere.. and pick ONE os to handle the grub loader.. manually edit that os's menu.lst and add the proper entries to the end of the menu.lst
[19:37] <bigrigger> pisse: just install the package which supplies gmpxx.h and you'll be fine. yes did it compile without error 1 ? doubtful
[19:37] <sled> r
[19:37] <Dr_willis> tj83,  sdaveing each os's menu.lst lets you look in them to see what they use for boot options and so forth. updating kernels on the other os's may have issues however.
[19:37] <proq> what does the savedefault option do in grub's menu.lst file?
[19:37] <tj83> Dr_willis, thanks for your reply... yes.. i understand this... I have already handled multi booting linux OS , My real issue lies in the stinkin windows bootloader and i have no idea how to get the info to import it into grub manually.
[19:37] <Dr_willis> proq,   you can make the default be 'saved default' and then it rembers what one ya last used.
[19:38] <Ibrahim> Hi,
[19:38] <Dr_willis> tj83,  theres exmaples in the menu.lst for windows on various hard drives..  shouldent be too hard to do. You just need to change the hd## info
[19:38] <Ibrahim> Can you help me on
[19:38] <pisse> bigrigger: I already installed it through synaptic. it doesn't compile at all because of the error "error: gmpxx.h: No such file or directory"
[19:39] <Dillizar> crdlb, i am back :)
[19:39] <Nanner-Puss> Hi everyone
[19:39] <tj83> Dr_willis, ok, i will dig deeper.... i can boot all the os's ok... it just bothers me to use one bootloader to load another bootloader and the fact that its MS bootloader makes it even worse :P
[19:39] <mikem562> Hey, can anyone tel me if there's any advantaged to having the /boot as its own partition or can I just do a swap/root layout?
[19:39] <Ibrahim> how to connect my Ubuntu to other PC that running Fedora, and to use it via: "Remote Desktop"???
[19:39] <bigrigger> Daremonai: you're on a subnet, configure your router to forward the port to that box
[19:39] <mattva01> I'm planning to setup a web kiosk, will be new gnome kiosk features be in in time for jaunty or should i use kubuntu?
[19:40] <Dr_willis> tj83,  in some ways thats safer.. :) but it all depends on what you do. You could uise the pc's bios menus to pick what HD to boot. if you have each os on its own hd.
[19:40] <bigrigger> pisse: hrm, google for that header file
[19:40] <Daremonai> bigrigger, I did, just like i did for port 80, 21, etc. they all work except 3784
[19:40] <Ibrahim> how to connect my Ubuntu to other PC that running Fedora, and to use it via: "Remote Desktop"???
[19:40] <tj83> Dr_willis, ya, all on same HDD
[19:40] <pisse> bigrigger: I downloaded the tarball so I have the file.. but not thanks to synaptic
[19:40] <crdlb> Dillizar: ok, what version of the nvidia driver did you install?
[19:40] <Dr_willis> mattva01,  ive seen several premade live-web-browser koisk cds out there. dependign on what you want done.. it may allready been done for you
[19:41] <Dillizar> crdlb, 173
[19:41] <bigrigger> Daremonai: any iptables blocking it? sudo tail -f /var/log/auth.log and watch for any errors
[19:41] <crdlb> Dillizar: on hardy or intrepid?
[19:41] <Ibrahim> how to connect my Ubuntu to other PC that running Fedora, and to use it via: "Remote Desktop"???
[19:41] <mikem562> Hey, can anyone tel me if there's any advantaged to having the /boot as its own partition or can I just do a swap/root layout?
[19:41] <Dillizar> crdlb, 8.04 :)
[19:41] <mattva01> i'd still like to know whether kde Kiosk is still the best way to go because i heard that gnome kiosk features may be implemented soon
[19:42] <bigrigger> pisse: untar the ./configure, make sudo make install
[19:42] <DPic_> is there a way to upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit ubuntu without a fresh install?
[19:42] <bigrigger> pisse: s/the/then
[19:42] <Eber> guys, I'm really new to linux and I've installed lighttpd as a web server on my VPS using aptitude, but now I need to upgrade it to the latest release... how can I do that? any hints and tips?
[19:42] <lakitu> hey - i restored using Cobian Backup my Win XP to a new partition, now i can't boot to it - can someone help me configure GRUB?
[19:42] <bigrigger> DPic_: no
[19:42] <tw1tch> mikem562: Iv read somewhere that creating a boot partition can help prevent fragmentation...
[19:42] <DPic_> bigrigger: ok  thanks
[19:42] <Dillizar> crdlb, NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg1 to be exact :P
[19:42] <mikem562> twltch: thanks = )
[19:42] <gunknown> pidgin announces "client version is too old" for icq. Are there any workarounds yet?
[19:42] <Dr_willis> tw1tch,  i dont see how. :) fragmentation isent much of an issue anyway
[19:43] <pisse> bigrigger: How do I untar? "s/the/then"?
[19:43] <Dr_willis> !info unp | pisse
[19:43] <bigrigger> pisse: tar -xvzf file.tar.gz  if thats the gzipped tarball
[19:43] <Pici> gunknown: The developers are working on it, please be patient.
[19:44] <gunknown> ok
[19:44] <tw1tch> Dr_willis: I know thats what i thought when i read it too.. but it does mount the boot partition read only dosent it that could help prevent corruption??
[19:44] <lakitu> brb, trying something
[19:44] <benste> so here who knows what to do if so aported install of updates during install of xulrunner?
[19:44] <benste> FF3 isn't running anymore
[19:45] <nastvik> привет
[19:45] <bigrigger> !ru > nastvik
[19:45] <_dan_> hello, pidgin doesnt let me connect to the icq servers anymore, complains about client being to old, is this already known?
[19:45] <pisse> bigrigger: Yeah I did that long ago and now I have a dir called "gmp-4.2.4" with 13 subdirs and lots of other files.
[19:45] <Dr_willis> tw1tch,  i doubt if its going to help much.. and then whenever ya get a kernel update. you have to rember to remount it readwrite.. makes it a hassle.
[19:45] <gunknown> is there a pidgin irc chan or where do i get infos from?
[19:46] <gunknown> _dan_ yes
[19:46] <bigrigger> pisse: cd into that dir and read the readme and install files
[19:47] <crdlb> Dillizar: ok, we need to get ubuntu to stop loading the normal nvidia modules, open /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common and set DISABLED_MODULES="nv nvidia_legacy nvidia nvidia_new"
[19:47] <crdlb> that's very redundant, but it won't hurt
[19:47] <Errietta> hey
[19:47] <mezy> how do i uninstall a program or package?
[19:47] <benste> someone here who can help me to get FF back?
[19:47] <pisse> bigrigger: You mean I should do this?: http://gmplib.org/manual/Installing-GMP.html#Installing-GMP
[19:47] <Errietta> what do i do with a printer i just changed the ink thingies
[19:48] <Errietta> i mean
[19:48] <Errietta> shouldnt i uh do something
[19:48] <Dr_willis> Print a test page?
[19:48] <tw1tch> _dan_:  icq bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/340075
[19:48] <erle64-> did pidgin stop working?
[19:48] <Errietta> Dr_willis, and if it gets fucked up?
[19:48] <Pici> Errietta: That language is not needed here.
[19:48] <Errietta> s0rry
[19:48] <Errietta> shouldnt i do something bout it
[19:48] <tamido> can somebody explain to me why so many  important technological breakthroughs came from a military?
[19:48] <zagibu> erle64-: yeah
[19:49] <bigrigger> pisse: yes, thats the typical installation process, it pays to read the README etc first, like this 'less README'
[19:49] <Pici> !ot | tamido
[19:49] <Dillizar> crdlb, done
[19:49] <Dillizar> now what
[19:49] <zagibu> it's because the ubuntu version of pidgin is too old
[19:49] <Dr_willis> Errietta,  you changed ink..  what are you expecging to need to do?
[19:49] <Errietta> uh
[19:49] <Errietta> idk
[19:49] <Crazyguy> tamido, they've got money
[19:49] <Errietta> dad said something
[19:49] <zagibu> 2.5.2, while there is already 2.5.5 out
[19:49] <Errietta> ok
[19:49] <Dr_willis> Errietta,  its not like its going to explode..  well  unless its a lexmark.. :P
[19:49] <Errietta> ill print test page
[19:49] <bigrigger> pisse: q to quit the 'less' program, spacebar advances pages
[19:49] <Errietta> if it explodes
[19:49] <crdlb> Dillizar: now reboot and we'll see what happens :)
[19:49] <Errietta> its YOUR fault
[19:49] <FloodBot2> Errietta: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:49] <Dr_willis> Errietta,  demand a refund.
[19:50] <crdlb> Dillizar: hopefully, we'll end up with the right nvidia kernel module
[19:50] <erle64-> zagibu, s..., i was online a few hours ago
[19:50]  * Errietta cancels the test page
[19:50] <Errietta> too scary
[19:50] <Dillizar> crdlb, stand by :D
[19:50] <Daremonai> bigrigger, I just checked if my server is 'up' from ventrilo.com, it says it's fine, but i still can't connect to it
[19:50] <tjingboem> where can i find the repo of the PPC (ibook g3)?
[19:50] <Errietta> i dont wanna die yet
[19:50] <Errietta> sids
[19:50] <Errietta> it didnt seem to print
[19:50] <gunknown> _dan_ : pidgin 2.5.5 should fix the icq error
[19:50] <benste> who can help me to get Firefox back ? it doesn't start after last updates which were aported by my sister ;-(
[19:50] <bigrigger> zagibu: upgrading programs beyond the repository version isn't wise unless you keep them separate due to depedancy issues.
[19:51] <Dr_willis> Errietta,  some 'printers' have some extra tuneing tools.. but ive not messed with them much.
[19:51] <Errietta> Shouldnt i "Clean Print headers"
[19:51] <zagibu> bigrigger: yeah, but broken software is not useful, so...
[19:51] <Dr_willis> Errietta,  are they dirty? i only do that if its sat for a long time
[19:51] <Errietta> how am i sposed to know
[19:51] <bigrigger> Daremonai: does netstat -tunap from terminal show that port as listening/open?
[19:52] <Dr_willis> Errietta,  how are we supposed to know. :) is the printing messed up = try clean heads...
[19:52] <Errietta> but it wont print at all
[19:52] <Errietta> and im scared itll explode
[19:52] <Dr_willis> Errietta,  check the cups logs. is the thing online? plugged in? on?
[19:52] <Errietta> and then ill die
[19:52] <Daremonai> bigrigger, yes
[19:52] <Errietta> do u want me to die?
[19:52] <Errietta> idk
[19:52] <Pici> Errietta: Stop
[19:52] <FloodBot2> Errietta: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:52] <Errietta> illl ask my dad when he's back
[19:52] <Errietta> O_o
[19:52] <Dr_willis> Errietta,   we dont know either. good luck
[19:53] <bigrigger> Daremonai: what error do they get?
[19:53] <Dr_willis> I imagine it went offline when you opend the lid.
[19:53] <Daremonai> bigrigger: "MSG: Contacting server." and stays there
[19:53] <benste> no one knows about how to fix an aborted update?
[19:54] <Daremonai> bigrigger, can we go to PM and I'll tell you the info, maybe you can understand better that way?
[19:54] <bigrigger> Daremonai: your logs should show the error, i'm not familiar with ventrilo
[19:54] <Daremonai> bigrigger, the tail -f etc. stuff you told me didn't show anything
[19:55] <Daremonai> bigrigger, what i don't understand is that, I can login to it locally, I can telnet to it from outside, even ventrilo.com can know the status of my server, yet for some weird reason, outside people can't get in
[19:56] <bigrigger> Daremonai: tail -f reads in real time, watch it as you invoke the error
[19:56] <Dillizar> crdlb, nope still 800*600 my girlfriend will really kill me HELP :)
[19:56] <Daremonai> bigrigger, the error is not being outputted on server side, it's like messages aren't even reaching it
[19:57] <tony426> can someone tell me why in Top, python is using 100% cpu but in gnome system monitor it's not?
[19:57] <crdlb> Dillizar: pastebin 'dmesg | grep -i nvidia' again
[19:57] <bigrigger> Daremonai: you don't seem to be getting an error, just no connection, is ventrilo configured right?
[19:57] <mezy1> how to uninstall a program or package?
[19:57] <Daremonai> bigrigger, it worked out of nowhere just now, i didn't even change anything
[19:57] <Pici> mezy1: apt-get remove packagename
[19:58] <mezy1> ok
[19:58] <bigrigger> Daremonai: well. sweet. probably a constipated port ;p
[19:58] <Dreamglider> how do i delete a dir full with files in terminal ?
[19:59] <Daremonai> bigrigger, hehe :)
[19:59] <bigrigger> Dreamglider: rm -rf dir/
[19:59] <Dillizar> crdlb, nothing happen !!!!!
[19:59] <Dr_willis> Dreamglider, with CAREFULL use of the wildcards command line rm command. :)
[19:59] <crdlb> Dillizar: no output?
[19:59] <Dillizar> nope crdlb
[20:00] <Superpig_> Hi folks. I've got a problem where my keyboard and mouse don't seem to be working at the XCFE login screen. I can switch to other TTYs and use the keyboard fine, so I'm thinking it's an X server problem.  I don't know much more then that, you can also check with they people in #xubuntu for help.
[20:02] <Superpig_> brandonban6: yeah, I looked at the manpage for xorg.conf but it suggested that the system should be using 'reasonable defaults' if there's no entry for keyboard and mouse. cheers, I'll try #xubuntu then
[20:02] <bigrigger> tony426: GUI apps can lie, the terminal rarely does.
[20:03] <Dillizar> crdlb, FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia
[20:03] <red-lichtie> Superpig_: I think that xorg.conf values were moved to hal
[20:03] <tony426> bigrigger: top was lying. had to end my screenlet app. it didn't recognize all cores of my quad
[20:04] <Dillizar> crdlb, i really hate fatal error cuz it reminds me of windows :P
[20:04] <Superpig_> red-lichtie: ah, ok. how/where do I start exploring that?
[20:04] <mikevankuik> how can I login to a gnome session from ssh? (I need to login so I can use VNC)
[20:04] <bigrigger> benste: in a terminal try ps aux |grep fire*  any multiple instances running?
[20:05] <crdlb> Dillizar: well, it looks like something is broken with the driver you installed from nvidia.com
[20:05] <red-lichtie> Superpig_: /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
[20:05] <Dr_willis> mikevankuik,  you can install/run a stand alone vncserver. and  do the same thing basicailly.. only you will not be shareing the current/seen local desktop on the remote box.
[20:06] <crdlb> Dillizar: I'd suggest uninstalling it (sudo sh NVIDIA-whatever --uninstall)
[20:06] <Dillizar> crdlb, lets make it simple ok! how can i remove them
[20:06] <bigrigger> tony426: i've been wrong before, sorry.
[20:06] <crdlb> in the long run, it'll be easier to get the stock driver working
[20:06] <Dillizar> lol
[20:06] <Dillizar> k on my way
[20:06] <red-lichtie> Superpig_: I have a file called /etc/hal/fdi/policy/shmconfig.fdi in there to sort out my input.x11_options.SHMConfig option
[20:07] <mikevankuik> Dr_willis: I know :) but I like the way I got it setup right now :) all I need to do is login and I know its posible... did it once before but can't remember how
[20:07] <benste> bigrigger, thanks for taking the time to help me :-) trying your command I just get the search task back - there is no open FF when trying to start FF I get an errorCouldn't find compatible GRE I think it's realted to the case that my sister abborted updates during install - cause now apt woun't remove or install Xulrunner, FF ....
[20:07] <Dr_willis> mikevankuik,  i set up gnome to auto login via gdm. and set it to autostart that vncservice ... other then that.. no idea
[20:07] <shey> Would anyone know what the linux alternative to Microsoft Money would be?
[20:07] <bigrigger> mikevankuik: the easiest method is enable remote desktop on the remote. or ssh -l login hostname
[20:08] <tony426> bigrigger: maybe you were right. someone told me pushing 1 in Top to account for all my cores and it works
[20:08] <Dillizar> crdlb, its done they are removed now should i reboot :)
[20:08] <bigrigger> benste: and firefox won't start at all?
[20:08] <benste> yes
[20:08] <Katangawise> Hi all! I'm using now gOS, it's based on ubuntu..

After that, the window is opening BUT the "Unlock" button is unenabled.. Becouse of it I can't setup my internet :(
[20:08] <crdlb> Dillizar: first, undo the changes to /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
[20:09] <bigrigger> tony426: thanks for that tip!
[20:09] <crdlb> Dillizar: make the DISABLED_MODULES line say DISABLED_MODULES=""
[20:09] <benste> starting in a shell I get, "Could not find compatible GRE ..."
[20:09] <mikevankuik> Dr_willis: its the way I thought I'd had set it up but I guess it didn't restart vnc and/or loged in.
[20:09] <Dillizar> benste, go to system monitor and end all firefox processing
[20:09] <bigrigger> benste: you could try removing/installing it

[20:17] <i> hm
[20:17] <Superpig_> hmm. Does anyone know where evdev would output log messages?
[20:17] <shey> Katangawise: did you try their support forums? Just because something is BASED on Ubuntu, doesn't mean its an Ubuntu issue. That would be like me asking about Debian in here because Ubuntu is based on it.
[20:17] <benste> red-lichtie:  sudo: xulrunner-1.9: command not found
[20:17] <Dillizar> crdlb, ok my card its still in-use but still not working :) should i remove legacy?

[20:19] <Dillizar> yes crdlb :) is this the problem :(
[20:19] <djbender> bigrigger, the problem is when I ssh into other non-ubuntu servers, this is more a general linux problem :-/

[20:19] <shey> Iceman_B^ssh: why not just grab your menu.list and save it, add it back after the upgrade. although I personally do not recommend it unless you have special repo entries.
[20:19] <djbender> bigrigger, their default colors are quite dark
[20:19] <lakitu> grub question: win xp is on sdb5... i set the menu.lst to hd(1,4) - it says device doesn't exist - what do i do? gparted says it's on sdb5

[20:21] <Iceman_B^ssh> shey: the probnlem is, if I reboot with a new and ossibly incorrect bootloader, I wont be able to ghet into my OS

[20:21] <bigrigger> lakitu: it should be hd0,0 or something similiar depending on the drive/partition
[20:21] <Iceman_B^ssh> or can I ?
[20:22] <lakitu> bigrigger: but it's on sdb5
[20:22] <FMK> Flare183: you are not alone ;)

[20:22] <nahetss> I've been hearing some good things about Ubuntu Jaunty, looking forward to that release. Ext4 filesystem will be nice!
[20:22] <Iceman_B^ssh> I could paste my cirrent menu.lst

[20:23] <nahetss> how's the Jaunty gonna be?
[20:24] <bigrigger> lakitu: it might be hd1,5
[20:24] <FMK> Flare183: is there any solution for it?
[20:24] <nahetss> and EXT4
[20:24] <erUSUL> nahetss: ask in #ubuntu+1
[20:24] <lakitu> bigrigger: i tried that
[20:24] <Flare183> FMK: Not that I know of
[20:24] <crdlb> Dacvak: did you try system > admin > hardware drivers?
[20:24] <DASPRiD> pidgin 2.5.2 is quite outdated, and now icq doesn't work anymore with it, 2.5.4 is from january, and 2.5.5 from 3rd march -- when can we except an update in the ubuntu repos, or is there an alternative repos for the most current pidgin version?
[20:24] <Iceman_B^ssh> shey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/128928/
[20:24] <Flare183> FMK: I suggest you submitting a bug report

[20:26] <Flare183> ?
[20:26] <crdlb> Dillizar: now we're going to edit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common again, but just put DISABLED_MODULES="nvidia_legacy nvidia"
[20:26] <lakitu> bigrigger: any ideas?
[20:26] <crdlb> Dillizar: the reason being that, by process of elimination, it'll be forced to use nvidia_new
[20:27] <bigrigger> lakitu: is the drive being mounted in /etc/fstab
[20:27] <rdz> hi all. how can i emulate right mouse click on a macbookpro with control click on the touchpad?
[20:28] <lakitu> bigrigger: i don't know - you know i'm talking about the grub bootloader screen, right?  THAT'S where it says cannot find device
[20:28] <Dillizar> crdlb, i dont have legacy
[20:28] <lakitu> when i select Win XP's entry
[20:28] <dennda> With ant: Is the error The <ftp> type doesn't support the "retriesallowed" attribute. related to only ant 1.6 being available? It works on 1.7 but on 1.6 I get that error. Is this simply a versioning thing?
[20:28] <DASPRiD> erUSUL, nevermind found it yet, waiting for next update
[20:28] <crdlb> Dillizar: yes, that's why you're putting it in DISABLED_MODULES; if you look the the dmesg output, you'll see that ubuntu is loading 71.84, which is the -legacy version
[20:29] <Dillizar> crdlb, why should i just install legacy :D or its not for my card
[20:29] <Dillizar> should i reboot now crdlb
[20:29] <bigrigger> lakitu: grub isn't finding the drive/partition, does it exist in /etc/fstab. I think grub needs re-configuring
[20:29] <crdlb> Dillizar: make sure your xorg.conf says Driver "nvidia", then yes
[20:31] <Dillizar> crdlb, pls tell me the path of  xorg.conf
[20:31] <warriorforgod> Dillizar: /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[20:32] <Dillizar> crdlb, ok lemme restart :)
[20:32] <Bagualas> dretchswatter, yep
[20:33] <Bagualas> dretchswatter, but im not using any effect that do that I think
[20:33] <warriorforgod> Iceman_B^ssh: Looks like xp is on the first partition of your 1st hard drive.
[20:33] <IntuitiveNipple> djbender: You could use "dircolors -b FILE" (or -c, depending on shell) to set custom colours. Maybe have it conditionally executed in ~/.bashrc if the SSH_CONNECTION variable is set?
[20:33] <dretchswatter> bagualas it's prolly a compiz bug I have that sometimes too. If you get to the desktop, by making a shortcut in the compiz settings, you can right click the windows in your task bar and in advanced, it'll say fullscreena dnt here you go. just uncheck it

[20:59] <Flare183> mikem562: Use synaptic to remove it
[20:59] <crdlb> Dillizar: just stick with fixing the xorg.conf for now
[20:59] <crdlb> Dillizar: if you don't get a good resolution with those lines removed, then you can play with nvidia-settings
[21:00] <mikem562> thanks guys, hopefully back soon with some good news

[21:00] <perlmonkey> hi, is it possible to have ubuntu installed twice on two separate hdd's on a system and have it so you can select which hdd to boot from?
[21:00] <h4x0r> yes
[21:00] <red-lichtie> perlmonkey: Yes
[21:00] <erUSUL> perlmonkey: just configure grub to boot them
[21:01] <perlmonkey> how would I do that? I installed on my 2nd hdd but i can't seem to boot from it, theres no option on the grub bootloader menu
[21:01] <perlmonkey> ah
[21:01] <erUSUL> perlmonkey: you have to manually configure grub to boot the second installation
[21:01] <perlmonkey> maybe thats where I went wrong, i do install grub on 2nd hdd but I think i need to do something to first hdd install?
[21:01] <perlmonkey> ok
[21:01] <divXjunk> I have ubuntu hardy installed IN winXP (second option from live cd) Can I 'copy' this in winXP install to a partition on my hd, converting to a 'real' instalation so to speak?

[21:03] <kane77> is it normal that all my processes have nice value of 20?
[21:03] <rww> divXjunk: Sure. You'll need to use LVPM. Its homepage is at http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html . The instructions for transferring to a dedicated partition are about 2/3 of the way down the page.
[21:03] <Dillizar> can you crdlb :)??
[21:04] <perlmonkey> ok here's the problem... grub menu.lst requires the kernel path but I can't access or boot the 2nd hdd to get it, what to do?
[21:04] <divXjunk> rww thx i'm gonna check it out!!
[21:04] <Dr_willis> perlmonkey,  by 'get' you mean to discover it?
[21:04] <erUSUL> perlmonkey: mount the partition of the second hd and take a look
[21:04] <perlmonkey> Dr_willis: yes
[21:04] <jaw> My disks ar slow - I thin its due to libata http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1090841

[21:05] <alanbshepard70> How can I bring up an eth0 interface with a static IP before I login? I need to be able to login to a remote machine should it reboot but it doesn't bring up the eth0 interface until after login. I tried modifying /etc/network/interfaces and adding ifconfig commands to /etc/rc.local all fail.
[21:05] <crdlb> Dillizar: just run: sudo dexconf; sudo nvidia-xconfig
[21:06] <crdlb> Dillizar: the first will give you a default xorg.conf; the second should edit it for nvidia

I restored all the files from there backups, but I cant't do anything to the box, sudo doesn't work, since the root passwd is not found.

[21:11] <gladiator> can someone help me diagnose my internet connectivity? i have noticed that my internet is considerably slower than it is on windows
[21:11] <erUSUL> rww: alanbshepard70 NM should ignore ifaces listed in interfaces
[21:11] <Dillizar> crdlb, it was already nvidia :/
[21:12] <rww> erUSUL, alanbshepard70: Right, which is what "interface not managed" means...
[21:12] <crdlb> Dillizar: maybe nvidia-xconfig did it anyway; if it says Driver "nvidia", you can just restart X

[21:23] <Tonitoni> hello, I just upgraded to Ubuntu from Debian and it was working last night but after I installed all the updates and rebooted, the screen goes blank after the Ubuntu startup symbol. I've tried on two diff monitors.

[21:24] <erUSUL> rickard: you can use openpgp via gpg that does not need a certificate only that you generate a keypair

[21:29] <rww> erUSUL: Where on that bug does it say that backports fixes anything?
[21:30] <erUSUL> PowerMOos: or get it from wwww.getdeb.net
[21:30] <rickard> I just installed tidy,, but no shortcut was made.. how do I start it?
[21:30] <Danu> Hello I forgot my password in Seahorse (to decode a file, it's a pgp), is it anyway to change it or recovery it?
[21:30] <Master_Of_Insani> hey, i'm getting no volume from my mic. i've fixed skype's settings so it works ok, but i'm just getting no volume from it
[21:30] <erUSUL> rww: backports can contain a new version of pidgin with the isuue resolved
[21:30] <rww> erUSUL: In this case, it doesn't.
[21:31] <erUSUL> rww: yep just checked hence the pointer to getdeb
[21:31] <PowerMOos> erUSUL, isn't backports "hardy-backports" (Unsupported updates) ?
[21:31] <Dillizar> crdlb, ok lets do that

[21:31] <Dillizar> what do i need to do crdlb
[21:31] <Master_Of_Insani> anyone know how to fix my mic so it actually picks up. i'm getting no volume from it at all
[21:32] <erUSUL> PowerMOos: get it from here http://www.getdeb.net/app/Pidgin
[21:32] <crdlb> Dillizar: you know, I should just make a little script to do it
[21:32] <Mark_> gladiator, some speedtests might seem slow because flash/java on linux can be quirky in certain situations, like 64 bit.. thats why i suggested a test with something like wget or just a fast download
[21:32] <PowerMOos> erUSUL, That seems to be the only option
[21:32] <nibsa1242b> Master_Of_Insani: check that is enabled in alsamixer (from the commandline)
[21:32] <nibsa1242b> Need help fixing sound. Worked until most recent update and restart.
[21:32] <Dillizar> crdlb, now i cant run "hardware drivers" its crushing
[21:33] <Tonitoni> erUSUL if I reloaded the OS using the desktop from the DVD do you think it might work? Last night it was fine until the restart
[21:33] <rww> PowerMOos: either that or from one of the PPAs from the bug report. 2.5.5 isn't in the main repositories yet.
[21:33] <Mark_> gladiator, theres nothing to really tune like there is on windows, like receive window, etc.
[21:33] <Master_Of_Insani> nibsa1242b, i only have two channels on there. master and capture. both are turned up high
[21:33] <PowerMOos> erUSUL, I would need all 4 debs ?
[21:33] <erUSUL> Tonitoni: you can not boot with a previous kernel (if the update brought a new one)?

[21:34] <Tonitoni> erUSUL oh. I'm new to this.
[21:34] <erUSUL> PowerMOos: so it seems   pidgin  (566.2 kB)  ,  pidgin-data  (7.2 MB)  ,  libpurple0  (1.5 MB)  ,  libpurple-bin  (100.2 kB)
[21:34] <nibsa1242b> Master_Of_Insani: move to the right with the arrow key, make sure one isn't hiding. and obvious dumb question --> check to make sure its plugged into correct port
[21:34] <erUSUL> PowerMOos: install first the libs then the others

[21:35] <crdlb> skyl: using gnome?
[21:36] <skyl> crdlb yes

[21:36] <Sake> So can anyone help me?
[21:36] <erUSUL> Tonitoni: if you can get to a virtual console you can do it from there
[21:37] <Mark_> gladiator, type (at a terminal): ip addr
[21:37] <nibsa1242b> Danu: the point of encryption is that you have to have the password... next time if you are going to forget your password, don't encrypt/ use weaker encryption
[21:37] <erUSUL> Tonitoni: if not choose recovery mode from the grub menu (at boot)
[21:37] <Mark_> look for the number after the word 'mtu'
[21:37] <JOKER> sake have you attempted to try wine?
[21:37] <Sake> yea
[21:37] <Sake> I"m dual booting so i can run my games
[21:37] <Danu> OK
[21:37] <tgm4883_> on a ubuntu mini 9, should 'uname -m' return i686 or some lpia variant?
[21:37] <JOKER> ok... just what is it that you are attempting to do?
[21:37] <Sake> joker: I fixed the bootloader with a tool called super grub disk
[21:38] <Tonitoni> erUSUL What can I expect after I do that? I'm a GUI user unless someone walks me through commands
[21:38] <BrandonB> :s
[21:38] <Sake> JOKER: I'm trying to dual boot win 7 and ubuntu
[21:38] <nibsa1242b> savid lol, thats great... tell her to get Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware... it'll probably remove what ever she has ( tp://www.malwarebytes.org/ )
[21:38] <JOKER> ok... was wondering is all
[21:38] <Sake> JOKER: I can now boot ubuntu again, but there is no option for win 7
[21:38] <Mark_> gladiator, mtu should be 1500 for ethernet connections generally, some dsl that uses pppoe might be 1492
[21:38] <erUSUL> Tonitoni: that will regenerate the Xserver configuration. hopefully with a wroking one. once done reboot and cross your fingers
[21:38] <waylandbill> is there a known issue of mysql server not starting on 8.10 amd64? I rebooted and now it fails to start. I tried purging all databases and apt cache and reinstalling. No luck. /var/log files that have mysql in their name don't offer any indication as they are 0 byte.
[21:38] <rww> tgm4883_: if it's running Ubuntu Mobile, it should return lpia. If not, i686 or amd64.
[21:38] <nibsa1242b> why does Ubuntu constantly have issues with sound?
[21:38] <skyl> crdlb they were set to None then I got Desktop effects could not be enabled
[21:38] <JOKER> so you are on a dual boot?
[21:38] <Sake> joker: I know how to add it, I'm just not sure how to find the (hd0,0) thingy
[21:39] <nibsa1242b> I upgraded with the auto update last night, and now I have no sound.
[21:39] <crdlb> skyl: what video card?
[21:39] <tgm4883_> rww, hmm.  I reinstalled using the dell disk, and i
[21:39] <JOKER> ok...
[21:39] <ubuntiana>  #ubuntu.it
[21:39] <Sake> JOKER:  NRN, they are both there
[21:39] <Tonitoni> erUSUL thanks, I'll try and see what happens
[21:39] <Mark_> nibsa1242b, try restarting pulseaudio
[21:39] <tgm4883_> rww, im getting i686
[21:39] <JOKER> ok
[21:39] <Sake> JOKER: But I can only boot one of them
[21:39] <skyl> crdlb ATI Radeon, not sure which
[21:39] <nibsa1242b> Mark_: the only way I know how to do that is pulseaudio -
[21:39] <crdlb> skyl: lspci | grep -i vga
[21:39] <JOKER> yes... i see that... selection
[21:39] <PowerMOos> erUSUL, I'm guessing guifications and the other plugins will work in 2.5.5 or do I have to get those too ?
[21:39] <nibsa1242b> Mark_: the only way I know how to do that is pulseaudio -k , pulseaudio -D ... I've already done that
[21:39] <gladiator> Mark_: i am on wifi connected to a router. 4: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 576 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000

[21:40] <b0ne1> hi i have a question. i plugged my usb mp3 player in and want to copy music into it. but i cant find my mp3 player anywhere on my ubuntu.
[21:40] <Sake> joker: :D I just need to add the link to the grub menu so I can boot it
[21:40] <Mark_> nibsa1242b, kill all the pulse audio crap in the terminal with kill, then start it as a regular user with the pulse-session command
[21:40] <erUSUL> PowerMOos: dunno really not a heavy pidgin user myself
[21:40] <PowerMOos> erUSUL, The version in the repos
[21:40] <rww> tgm4883_: I guess the dell installer doesn't use Ubuntu Mobile. It's not that much of a problem; lpia is just iX86 with some settings changed.
[21:40] <PowerMOos> erUSUL, oh
[21:40] <JOKER> yep
[21:40] <nibsa1242b> Mark_: all I get is "W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader.
[21:40] <nibsa1242b> "
[21:40] <crdlb> skyl: on intrepid?
[21:40] <Sake> PowerMOos: I use pidgin
[21:40] <skyl> crdlb jaunty
[21:40] <Mark_> nibsa1242b, thats a normal error
[21:40] <crdlb> skyl: you should be asking in #ubuntu+1 then
[21:40] <skyl> doh!
[21:40] <Sake> PowerMOos: What do you need help with?
[21:40] <tgm4883_> rww, ok, thanks for the info
[21:41] <savid> nibsa1242b,  thanks I'll take a look at that one. Though, being a linux guy you know how I hate paying for things ;-)
[21:41] <Mark_> yea gladiator, your mtu is probably the problem
[21:41] <JOKER> i am not too familiar with windows 7.. i was an xp user switched to ubuntu
[21:41] <nibsa1242b> savid: its free as in beer, unless you want the constant monitoring feature
[21:41] <PowerMOos> Sake, erUSUL , I reinstalled them, they work OK with the new one.
[21:41] <erUSUL> gladiator:  mtu 576 <<<< that's a very low mtu value... it should be ~1500
[21:41] <Sake> JOKER: Yea i used vista but killed it
[21:41] <nibsa1242b> Mark_: ok, I tried killall pulseaudio , and then pulse-session ... nothing
[21:41] <rww> skyl: Jaunty doesn't have fglrx right now, so desktop effects won't work
[21:42] <savid> nibsa1242b,  ah
[21:42] <JOKER> i do know that ubuntu plays nicely with xp.. not sure about vista
[21:42] <Mark_> gladiator, wireless speed could be anything (a microwave, a cordless phone, etc) but that mtu is definately too low
[21:42] <b0ne1> if i type in tail -n0 -f /var/log/messages it says that it recognises the mp3 player
[21:42] <Sake> PowerMOos: yea, it should work though
[21:42] <Sake> soz
[21:42] <henryC> anybody know of a navicat-like (but free) tool that will run on Ubuntu?
[21:42] <Sake> JOKER: it should work
[21:42] <Sake> JOKER: Ive done it b4
[21:42] <PowerMOos> Yes, albums, guifications, etc are all working OK with 2.5.5
[21:42] <eseven73> speaking of mtu how do i raise it? The GUI networking tool that's in the top right corner of the panel doesnt seem to "Save" the MTU setting i choose, cause if i do sudo ifconfig it says MTU 1500, i put it at 3000 in the gui thingy :)
[21:42] <gladiator> Mark_, erUSUL: what is mtu a measure of? and why would it be low?
[21:42] <b0ne1> does anybody know where i can find the it?
[21:42] <nibsa1242b> savid: I use it on tech support calls... as long as its updated to the most recent version, it gets rid of almost everything.
[21:42] <Mark_> mtu is 'maximum transmission unit'.. i.e. a packet frame size
[21:42] <Sake> PowerMOos: then what's wrong?
[21:42] <gladiator> let me read up on mtu :)
[21:42] <erUSUL> gladiator: is the "packet" size
[21:42] <PowerMOos> Nothing anymore.
[21:43] <ortsvorsteher> !mtu
[21:43] <JOKER> ok if you can remember what it was that you did,i am certain it will work again
[21:43] <Mark_> gladiator, dialup mtu is default 576, ethernet is 1500
[21:43] <nibsa1242b> savid: only thing to watch out for is that some virus/ worms won't let it run, so you have to rename the executable
[21:43] <Sake> JOKER: lol I wish, my friend did it for me
[21:43] <JOKER> well time to have that friend tell ya what they did...
[21:43] <erUSUL> gladiator: try changing it "sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1412
[21:43] <b0ne1>  hi i have a question. i plugged my usb mp3 player in and want to copy music into it. but i cant find my mp3 player anywhere on my ubuntu. if i type in tail -n0 -f /var/log/messages it says that it recognises the mp3 player
[21:43] <Hans-Martin> henryC: have you tried phpmyadmin?
[21:43] <asteroid> hello
[21:43] <Mark_> gladiator, try the command: ip link set wlan0 mtu 1500
[21:43] <gladiator> Mark_, erUSUL: i didnt change anything. i just installed ubuntu a couple days ago. it is how it is
[21:44] <Mark_> gladiator, if that helps it, then we need to figure out how to make it permanent
[21:44] <erUSUL> gladiator: try changing it "sudo ifconfig wlan0 mtu 1500"
[21:44] <henryC> Hans-Martin sure I've used phpmyadmin but it's not as nice and as fast as Navicat...
[21:44] <Sake> JOKER: He's at school, and i'm not so i cant call him. also I know what he did just not how to do it
[21:44] <Sake> JOKER: I just need to know the position of my win 7 install
[21:44] <nibsa1242b> Mark_: ok killing pulseaudio and pulse-session didn't do anything... any other ideas?
[21:44] <Sake> JOKER: how do i find it?
[21:44] <Hans-Martin> henryC: I must admit I never used Navicat nor did I look at screenshots until now...
[21:44] <asteroid> I have installed apache and activated userdir module. File created by applications in ~/public_html are own by www-data:www-data, so I cannot manage them in nautilus. How fix that  ?
[21:45] <nibsa1242b> Sake: does it show up under sudo fdisk -l ?
[21:45] <JOKER> ok hold on...looking it up
[21:45] <gladiator> Mark_, erUSUL: i changed it. now run some test again?
[21:45] <b0ne1> does anyone of you guys could help me?
[21:45] <erUSUL> Mark_: wow you were able to untangle the mess that the "ip" manuals is XD impressed
[21:45] <henryC> I like Navicat because some db edits are as simple as editing a spreadsheet, and it's super fast.
[21:45] <Sake> nibsa1242b: I haven't treid that brb its on other pc
[21:46] <Hans-Martin> b0ne1: it's probably not so easy to diagnose this with so little info
[21:46] <Mark_> gladiator, yea, run a test again
[21:46] <asteroid> Hans-Martin, and with my info can you ? ;)
[21:46] <eseven73> Mark i tried 'sudo ip link set eth0 mtu 3000' but it said RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument,
[21:46] <Mark_> nibsa1242b, that always worked for me, pulseaudio is quite the headache
[21:46] <Sake> nibsa1242b:  Ok so its dev/sda1
[21:46] <b0ne1> wait i nopaste my console results
[21:46] <erUSUL> b0ne1: paste the output of  tail /var/log/messages after plug
[21:46] <Mark_> thats because you cant set it above 1500 unless your card supports jumbo frames
[21:46] <Mark_> and even then
[21:46] <Sake> nibsa1242b: and its ID is 7
[21:46] <junglist_> Ex-Chat
[21:46] <alanbshepard70> Is there a way to keep all commands I use stored in .bash_history? I tried editing .bashrc to include export HISTSIZE=1000000 but my history still gets wiped :(
[21:46] <eseven73> dang
[21:46] <junglist_> whoops sorry
[21:46] <Mark_> your switch needs jumbo frames, the other end needs jumbo frames, etc
[21:46] <erUSUL> eseven73: 3000 is too much
[21:47] <nibsa1242b> Mark_: I absolutely hate pulseaudio. It makes me want to switch distros. 3 out of 3 computer I have Ubuntu on have issues with it.
[21:47] <eseven73> Mark problem is, VNC is making my network disconnect every 2 seconds :(   SO i figured maybe mtu too low
[21:47] <Sake> nibsa1242b: So what do i enter into grub as the (hd0,0)?
[21:47] <b0ne1> http://nopaste.info/2be5231836.html <- there i dont know if this is enough info
[21:47] <needhelp> Hello, I have a screen problem. The case is that text and images copies itself halfway and overlaps the text under. That happens both with text and images, both in IRC and on the web. In FireFox a F5 often helps, but it happens on all sites. What can I do ?
[21:47] <Hans-Martin> asteroid: probably not, but it sounds like you should use some module which switches uid as well (there are ways to config apache so that php is run with the cgi mechanism, which enables that)
[21:48] <Sake> nibsa1242b: You there?
[21:48] <Bob_Dole> so, JWM is an Ubuntu package? does it add itself to the x sessions or not? I saw on the forums that at least at 1 point it didn't.
[21:48] <nibsa1242b> Sake: I don't know how windows 7 needs its grub options setup; normally you need to chainload and do something fancy to make windows think its disk is the primary disk
[21:48] <nibsa1242b> Sake: put your sudo fdisk -l into a pastebin so I can see it
[21:48] <eseven73> !info jwm
[21:48] <JOKER> all i am comming up with is the past versions of ubuntu 7 and xp...lol
[21:48] <Sake> nibsa1242b: ok but its on other pc
[21:49] <b0ne1> i think everything sounds alright, doesnt it?
[21:49] <nibsa1242b> Sake: you can pastebin it from another pc
[21:49] <Sake> nibsa1242b: Soz gtg be on lata
[21:49] <JOKER> try googling the situation
[21:49] <nibsa1242b> What distros don't use pulse audio? I'm so fed up with pulse that I'm going to change distros.
[21:50] <corey> is there a distro that is better than average for laptops
[21:50] <rww> nibsa1242b: That's offtopic for this channel.
[21:50] <Mark_> actually, i think kubuntu might not use it
[21:50] <Mark_> youd have to check first
[21:50] <Mark_> but thats kde
[21:50] <gladiator> Mark_, erUSUL: its slightly better. download speed is upto about 20kBps. Should be about 50kBps
[21:50] <b0ne1> erUSUL http://nopaste.info/2be5231836.html <- there i dont know if this is enough info
[21:50] <Dacvak> How can I set a keystroke to move the top window to a different workspace? (I'm using Compiz-Fusion)
[21:50] <rww> Mark_: Kubuntu uses pulseaudio.
[21:50] <Mark_> rww: ahh
[21:51] <Mark_> gladiator, well its progress
[21:51] <thewrath> /usr/bin/startx: line 166: xauth: command not found
[21:51] <eseven73> no no we cant keep changing distro just because something so trivial, sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio and be done with pulse, but dont switch distros :)
[21:51] <thewrath> can not start /etc/X11/X no such file or directory, aborting
[21:51] <Hans-Martin> b0ne1: see http://nopaste.info/4ec5bca8d3.html for a log of my stuff. looks like somehow your kernel does not recognize this as a mass storage device
[21:51] <thewrath> i type in startx
[21:51] <Mark_> gladiator, http://www.dslreports.com/tweak <- run that test
[21:51] <rww> thewrath: sudo apt-get install xorg
[21:51] <Tonitoni> erUSL I got it to work. I pressed ctl/alt/f1 and then escape and it said it something about starting the regular way and then the desktop came up. Thanks.
[21:51] <Mark_> gladiator, lets see what it says for results
[21:52] <thewrath> okay thnk you rww
[21:52] <Hans-Martin> b0ne1: are you sure it's not a MTP device (MP3 player with microsoft specific protocol?)
[21:52] <b0ne1> mhm no im not shure
[21:52] <JOKER> is there an auto modprobe line to enable floppy drives automatically on startup in Intrpid?
[21:52] <thewrath> why do i need xorg rww ?
[21:52] <nibsa1242b> rww: sry, all I really want to know is why updates constantly break pulse. when 8.10 came out, pulse worked on all 3 of my computers. The first update killed all sound on 2 of them. An update from yesterday made it non-functional on my third computer.
[21:52] <rww> JOKER: add floppy to /etc/modules
[21:53] <JOKER> ty rww
[21:53] <rww> thewrath: because you appear to be missing a bunch of files needed by startx.
[21:53] <gladiator> Mark_: ok. it might take some time though. plugin missing... :(
[21:53] <Mark_> ohh, no java? =[
[21:53] <wolter> how do I enable vsync in xorg.conf?
[21:53] <Bob_Dole> xorg is the graphics subsystem, unless I've mistaken it for a rather similar package
[21:53] <rww> thewrath: the xorg metapackage will install a basic working xorg distribution
[21:53] <b0ne1> Hans-Martin windows did recognised it as a mass storage and sometimes as a mtp device
[21:53] <Hans-Martin> b0ne1: if it's MTP you need to search the web for descriptions on how to access it - I have no experience with that
[21:53] <nibsa1242b> does pulse audio use a kernel module?
[21:53] <b0ne1> oh okay thanks
[21:54] <Zeroyez> the best way to copy an iso's contents to a usb drive would be to mount -o loop /path/to/cdimage.iso /mnt/iso then cp /mnt/iso/* /media/disk -- right?
[21:54] <eseven73> nibsa1242b: but switching distros over that is like throwing the baby out with the bath water, remove pulse if it's so problematic
[21:54] <erUSUL> b0ne1: the tail is not enough paste "dmesg | tail -n 25" output
[21:54] <b0ne1> ok wait a sec..
[21:54] <daftykins> Zeroyez, why not "dd if=/path/to/file.iso of=/usb/key/device"
[21:54] <Bob_Dole> I heard complaints about pulse audio, in that it tends to take a bunch of other stuff it shouldn't with it
[21:55] <Zeroyez> wouldn't dd copy the UDF file system to the USB stick?
[21:55] <Dacvak> How can I set a keystroke to move the top window to a different workspace? (I'm using Compiz-Fusion)
[21:55] <daftykins> not sure, read "man dd"
[21:55] <eseven73> Bob ive never had issues like that :)
[21:55] <rww> Zeroyez: yes, it would.
[21:55] <valuedcustomer> hello.  why won't ssh, apache2, or vsftpd start unless i login?  i'm using ubuntu 8.10.

[21:56] <Zeroyez> i just want the iso to have 100% of its files and attributes copied to a fat32 usb stick
[21:56] <rww> valuedcustomer: You're probably using NetworkManager to manage your internet, which doesn't connect until you log in.
[21:56] <nibsa1242b> eseven73: think of it like this... I have 3 computers at my house to maintain that are all used by 3 different people... and another 3-4 used by relatives with Ubuntu. Every time pulse breaks I have to spend a day or two fixing some / all of those computer. If I stay with Ubuntu, that means every six months, I'll waste a week of my time fixing pulse. Its not worth it.
[21:56] <valuedcustomer> rww:  i am.  what should i do?
[21:57] <eseven73> Bob_Dole: or maybe rather than removing pulse, set up a script or something that just disables it on boot
[21:57] <DaDa|Urka> Actually what's wrong with Pidgin?
[21:57] <rww> valuedcustomer: How do you connect to your network? Ethernet or wireless?
[21:57] <JOKER> rww thanks again for your asist
[21:57] <b0ne1> thx Hans-Martin this is exactly my problem. i have the samsung s3 and somebody written that its a mtp only device
[21:57] <erUSUL> b0ne1: it seems that there is a problem the device connects and disconnects againand again
[21:57] <Hans-Martin> erUSUL: the problem with b0ne1's player is that it's MTP (confirmed by the USB ID)

[21:59] <Hans-Martin> b0ne1: my son has an S3, too, and IIRC I've given up on supporting it under Ubuntu. My son uses windows, where the device is supported, so this is probably no help for you.
