[00:00] <helmethedd> 8.04 to 8.10
[00:00] <nai> and wich one should i install if i want a basic gnome but with nice fonts? (no gdm, no evolution, no ekiga...)
[00:00] <kev2121> deany, why #kubuntu?
[00:00] <deany> kev2121, hmm, well I thought it was
[00:01] <deany> kev2121, maybe not then.  kernel and basic hardware support is the same, the rest are kde apps....
[00:01] <VCoolio> nai: check in synaptic or by "aptitude show packagename"; you'll need at least gnome and gnome-core I think but probably they depend on each other; gdm is the login window, are you sure you don't want that?
[00:01] <bishop> Hh why not upgrade to 9?
[00:02] <cabrey> bishop, depends on your hardware really
[00:02] <usr13> helmethedd: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-8.04-to-ubuntu-8.10-desktop-and-server
[00:02] <bishop> cabrey yep
[00:02] <usr13> helmethedd: But the easiest way is to get the Alternate CD and just upgrade from it.
[00:02] <shunobies> Could someone tell me how to find your ip address in the terminal setting?
[00:03] <psych> hi, whats the best command to copy an entire partition to another disk ?
[00:03] <deany> kev2121, there are some good kde apps tho, put some of the ubuntu ones to shame..   lets not mention brasero compared to k3b..
[00:03] <usr13> shunobies: ifconfig
[00:03] <cabrey> shunobies, ifconfig
[00:03] <psych> i planned to do it using a live cd
[00:03] <deany> kev2121, brasero is a joke.
[00:03] <psych> once clonezilla dont work good with logical partitions
[00:03] <cabrey> deany, brasero is fine, it works what else do you want?
[00:03] <kev2121> deany, I see..
[00:03] <LewisSharp> Small question. How safe is it to upgrade a linux version (example to 8.0.4 LTS). I am wondering because if it's not safe, I'd need to do a ghost of my main partition or something close to that in case of a major problem.
[00:03] <deany> cabrey, for you maybe
[00:04] <VCoolio> nai: gnome-desktop-environment contains all the extra apps , including web browsing, email, CD burning and ripping, encryption tools, audio and video playback, network and communication tools,  document viewers, remote desktop utilities, and much more.
[00:04] <deany> cabrey, I and at least 5 other people I know it dont
[00:04] <nai> ouch
[00:04] <nai> i don't want anything of that
[00:04] <kev2121> deany, so, apps do not have the same name?
[00:04] <nai> (that's why i installed the minimal version so i can only install what i need now)
[00:04] <usr13> LewisSharp: You're in a good place actually, 8.04 is LTS and, well, that's  a pretty good place to stay.
[00:05] <LewisSharp> no, I mean to that version. I'm a few version down actually
[00:05] <LewisSharp> I'm not 100% sure which version I am at right now
[00:05] <usr13> LewisSharp: Oh, upgrading TO 8.04  sorry... I didn't read carefully.
[00:05] <LewisSharp> :)
[00:05] <cabrey> deany, whatever, i'm not getting into a debate over burning software of all things
[00:05] <deany> cabrey, and brasero has less features..  It might work for you, thats great.
[00:05] <cabrey> ;)
[00:05] <hipitihop> can someone please help me put grub on an usb attached drive, I have copied the boot (ext3) extended and swap from another drive already
[00:05] <deany> cabrey, even shell tools work better
[00:05] <VCoolio> nai: you need gnome-core then
[00:06] <usr13> LewisSharp: lsb_release -a
[00:06] <VCoolio> nai: run "aptitude show gnome-core" to see what it contains
[00:06] <nztal> my dvd burner, doesn't have burnproof technology, it has some other similar technology so that option is greyed out when i right click "write iso"  to disc.  any chance its being utilized ?
[00:07] <nai> VCoolio: nice, thanks
[00:07] <usr13> !usb | hipitihop
[00:07] <LewisSharp> hum.. Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS
[00:07] <hipitihop> usr13: reading, thanks
[00:08] <VCoolio> nai: sorry, I doubt that as it seems I don't have it installed while running gnome ?? check again
[00:09] <nai> VCoolio already installing gnome-core
[00:09] <nai> let's see how it goes
[00:09] <laeg> is there a way to make sudo apt-get show me everything libgtk*?
[00:10] <shunobies> I can't view my routers admin page in browser because it will only work on Internet Explorer not FF what should i do?
[00:10] <VCoolio> nai: I think you'll need (one of) the libgnome packages if you only want gnome itself; anyway uninstall gnome-core and run "sudo apt-get autoremove" and you're back where you started
[00:12] <tpcnf> How do I ignore parts/joins/quits in Pidgin?
[00:12] <Kr0ntab> greets
[00:13] <Kr0ntab> the freenode webchat is interesting...
[00:14] <bishop> leaving...baklatr
[00:15] <coolkourt> hello, i lost my windows in compiz fhingusion.. any idea or links to get them back. i cant move,close, minimize or anyt
[00:16] <rww> tpcnf: In the buddy list window, Tools > Plugins > check Join/Part Hiding
[00:16] <laeg> can anyone tell me what the GTK+ 2.0 dev headers package is called?
[00:17] <cabrey> laeg, libgtk2.0-dev i believe
[00:17] <cabrey> laeg, but apt-cache search works too
[00:17] <tpcnf> Thankya!
[00:17] <Nanaki> hey everyone hows it goin
[00:18] <magcius> !pinhg
[00:18] <Nanaki> i cant find compiz icon to select it..where would it be?
[00:18] <cabrey> Nanaki, what do you want?
[00:18] <Nanaki> im running jaunty right now
[00:18] <Nanaki> i want to find compiz
[00:19] <hipitihop> usr13: your links refer to using syslinux not grub. maybe some clarification is needed, I have a fully working usb flash stick with full ubuntu installation on it that works. I have copied the partions from the stick to a new usb HDD. I just want to setup the new usb attach hdd with grub
[00:19] <coolkourt> how do i set up a local web testing server
[00:19] <laeg> cabrey: "Sorry, try again.
[00:19] <laeg> "
[00:19] <cabrey> laeg, sudo aptitude install libgtk2.0-dev
[00:20] <laeg> cabrey: not apt-get?
[00:20] <rww> coolkourt: That depends on which web server you want to test. For Apache, install the "apache2" package (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Installing%20Apache%202 )
[00:20] <Nanaki> it shows compiz is installed but there is no icon under anything to run it.
[00:20] <cabrey> laeg, it's listed in the repo as libgtk2.0-dev and yes try aptitude
[00:20] <kthyon> plEACE SPEAK IN SPANISH
[00:20] <rww> Nanaki: System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects
[00:20] <rww> !es | kthyon
[00:21] <rww> !ccsm | Nanaki: also, try ccsm
[00:21] <laeg> cabrey: difference between aptitude and apt-get?
[00:21] <cabrey> laeg, debian recommends aptitude ;)
[00:22] <kthyon> UBOTTU
[00:22] <kthyon> AYUDAME
[00:22] <coolkourt> ty rww
[00:22] <rww> laeg: not much. apt-get install foo and aptitude install foo are pretty much interchangable these days
[00:22] <Gnea> !caps | kthyon
[00:22] <VCoolio> what is the command to upgrade a single package instead of all possible with apt-get upgrade?
[00:22] <rww> VCoolio: sudo apt-get install packagename
[00:22] <cabrey> ^
[00:22] <laeg> cabrey, rww: kk :)
[00:23] <rww> VCoolio: if the package is already installed, it upgrades it to the latest version
[00:23] <hipitihop> VCoolio: I think if you just do 'sudo apt-get install <packagename>'
[00:23] <VCoolio> ok, thx, didn't think of that
[00:23] <rww> kthyon: type /join #ubuntu-es
[00:24] <hipitihop> can someone please point me at simple instructions to install grub on to my usb attached HDD
[00:25] <helmethedd> i still can't seem to upgrade
[00:25] <helmethedd> i've tried the disk
[00:25] <helmethedd> i've tried the update manager
[00:25] <kthyon> tnks
[00:25] <jrib> helmethedd: you need to explain exactly what you did and how it failed
[00:25] <helmethedd> i really could use some help
[00:25] <rww> helmethedd: specifically what happens when you try them?
[00:26] <helmethedd> first: update manager only downloads part of the files, then gives an error about not being able to get the rest
[00:26] <helmethedd> 2nd: disk gives 3 options...
[00:27] <helmethedd> reboot now, reboot later, or help me reboot from cd
[00:27] <helmethedd> i select helpme reboot from cd
[00:27] <helmethedd> so it goes thru some extraction for a bit
[00:27] <helmethedd> then...it sits
[00:27] <helmethedd> no reboot
[00:27] <helmethedd> so, i reboot it myself thinkin its waiting for me
[00:28] <helmethedd> and nothing
[00:28] <helmethedd> i tried going into bios to select boot from cd, by hitting esc to bring up the menu, no CD option
[00:29] <JasonosaJ> helmethedd, you either need to use paste.ubuntu.com or put your entire thought on one/two lines.  It makes it much easier to follow what you are trying to say.
[00:29] <laeg> cabrey, rww: XScreenSaver extension development headers not found. :(
[00:29] <helmethedd> noted
[00:30] <cabrey> laeg, what are you compiling?
[00:30] <tagalong> is there a channel dedicated to game servers for ubuntu?
[00:30] <cabrey> laeg, theres an easier way to go about this
[00:30] <helmethedd> so.....what do i do?
[00:30] <false> Got a question; Anyone using Intel GMA 45000MHD gfx, and able to tell me how they're working in Ubuntu? I just a new laptop trying to anticipate what troubles I'm going to have installing Ubuntu completely, if any.

[00:31] <progre55> hi people! I'm really sorry for an irrelevant question, but the #winehq guys are sleeping.. I have this problem.. while playing CS on linux, after I play a little, the game gets slower and slower, even restarting the CS wont help. I always need to restart my comp. any suggestions, please?
[00:31] <cabrey> laeg, thats what i was gonna suggest
[00:31] <cabrey> laeg, use checkinstall also
[00:31] <cabrey> !checkinstall | laeg
[00:31] <helmethedd> can i get some assistance with upgrading?
[00:32] <Jeruvy> progre55: sounds like it could be a memory leak, try monitoring it with top (or some such tool)

[00:33] <laeg> cabrey: i'm actually compiling it to make uninstall
[00:33] <laeg> cabrey: months ago i installed source pidgin, since my upgrade today to 9.04 it stopped working so i tried to install the new synaptic version but when i do pidgin in terminal it takes me to usr/local apparently
[00:33] <progre55> Jeruvy, you mean, run top while playing? and what would I do next? )
[00:33] <IRC-Monitor-814> cod4?
[00:33] <IRC-Monitor-814> is this cod4 ?

[00:34] <Gnea> !ubuntu | IRC-Monitor-814
[00:35] <Jeruvy> progre55: just monitor it or log it for a while. See if leakage is the problem (or its something else)
[00:35] <VCoolio> wow, system froze with swap 100% fill and mem 95%, first time that happened to me; where would I find what app was eating my resources?
[00:35] <progre55> Jeruvy, thanks man. but.. how to log? :) sorry for noobness ))
[00:36] <progre55> VCoolio, top?
[00:36] <cabrey> VCoolio, htop
[00:36] <progre55> oops, missed a letter :-D
[00:36] <VCoolio> progre55: is there a history for those? I rebooted
[00:36] <cabrey> VCoolio, the log viewer is also good
[00:37] <cabrey> VCoolio, just how many apps were you running?
[00:37] <Jeruvy> progre55: use top with -b to log to a file
[00:37] <mdcclvi> Is there a way to see which graphics driver I'm using? I've installed the Nouveau driver and I'm getting full resolution and wanted to check it hadn't just fallen back to the binary Nvidia driver.
[00:37] <VCoolio> well, conky, pidgin, minefield, parcellite, nothing too serious
[00:37] <VCoolio> cabrey: ^
[00:37] <cabrey> VCoolio, do you have like 256 megs of ram?
[00:38] <VCoolio> cabrey: 512
[00:38] <zer0o> hi guys how do i run compiz? its installed but i dunno how to run it, i want to customize it but dunno where it is
[00:38] <progre55> Jeruvy, thanks man, appreciate1
[00:38] <Joeseph> Out of curiosity, why did I have to restart after I added the medibuntu repositories to my trusted sources?
[00:38] <rww> !ccsm | zer0o
[00:38] <rww> Joeseph: you didn't
[00:38] <cabrey> VCoolio, that's odd my netbook sips about ~200megs with that stuff open

[00:39] <PovAddict> how do I know what's the correct nvidia-glx-* package for my card?
[00:39] <zer0o> cabrey i run kubuntu on System there's no "preferences" where is it?
[00:39] <kseise> !min
[00:39] <cabrey> zer0o, oh uhh kde uses kwin, so ask in #kubuntu
[00:39] <PovAddict> or are those version numbers, and so I should get the latest one?
[00:40] <jonaskoelker> Hi all.  How do I make pulseaudio "survive" (i.e. keep running after) X server restarts?
[00:40] <jonaskoelker> can I run it as a system service instead of on a per-user basis (like mpd)?
[00:41] <tagalong> Anyone out there have game server experience on Ubuntu 9.04?
[00:41] <cabrey> tagalong, theres probably an irc room for that
[00:41] <rww> tagalong: I imagine it'd be useful for you to specify which game =/
[00:41] <binskipy2u> anyone know of a script, or long command that ll install all the most widely used multimedia apps/codecs, and all their dependencies, instead of searching synaptic package by package?
[00:41] <tagalong> I have looked.  Something like #ubuntu-gaming?
[00:41] <Arkhalis> So, is there any reason the wired ethernet port on my laptop would just suddenly stop working from one day to the next? i can still modprobe it with no errors, but it no longer shows up in the network manager.
[00:42] <rww> binskipy2u: ubuntu-restricted-extras is a good start
[00:42] <Arkhalis> The laptop is only 3 weeks old so i doubt it's the mobo but i guess it could be
[00:43] <Jeruvy> Arkhalis: can you get it working again?
[00:43] <shiznebit> Arkhalis: try booting from a live cd and see if it works

[00:43] <tsrk> how do i get a list of mounted partitions?
[00:43] <rww> tsrk: type "mount" in terminal
[00:44] <rww> false: couldn't you just run the LiveCD/Desktop CD to find that out?
[00:44] <danbhfive> false: is that a netbook chipset?
[00:44] <tsrk> rww, wow, that's too simple, thanks!
[00:44] <Arkhalis> shiznebit: I can't really... from a fresh install like live cd the wireless and wired ports don't work. had to install the drivers from source originally
[00:44] <cabrey> !intel | false
[00:44] <nellmathew> hey guys what's a small, fast, resource-friendly browser? (mainly resource friendly - flash is optional, for quick browsing)
[00:45] <maha> hi
[00:45] <rww> nellmathew: graphical or command-line?
[00:45] <nellmathew> rww, graphical
[00:45] <maha> pratim te
[00:45] <rww> nellmathew: epiphany-browser or midori
[00:45] <maha> hahahahha
[00:45] <nellmathew> rww, gimme a good command line one too, i might give it a go
[00:45] <PovAddict> links2 -g
[00:45] <Jeruvy> !browser | nellmathew
[00:45] <rww> nellmathew: w3m or links2
[00:45] <Arkhalis> nellmathew: google chrome works quite well under wine, if you don't mind doing it that way - otherwise i would try midori
[00:45] <PovAddict> nellmathew: links2 has both command line and graphical
[00:46] <VCoolio> nellmathew: dillo is very fast, but very very basic
[00:46] <nellmathew> thanks guys, good stuff..
[00:47] <Arkhalis> strange thing is... my wired ethernet port doesn't even show up in ifconfig anymore... however i have it in etc/modules
[00:47] <Um_cara_qualquer> hey folks, how i set time when boot ask witch OS i wanna start?
[00:47] <Arkhalis> it shows up in lshw as unclaimed though
[00:48] <shiznebit> Arkhalis: im just not sure then, try makeing a persistant usb install and compile the drivers on that...
[00:48] <terr_> I'm thinking of installing ubuntu in one of my computers.  Its a shuttle SN41G2.  I _do not_ know much about it and I have NOT powered it up yet.  1) I read it can boot off a USB drive.  Can anyone recomend a reasonable size thumb (or related) drive for this?  2) I'll follow with a network install  3) It does not have a FDD or DVD/CD.  Can anyone recomend if I _should_ install a FDD and also where I can find a region code free DVD/CDC R/
[00:48] <Arkhalis> shiznebit: elaborate please?
[00:49] <xxuriahxx1> can some1 help me with partitioning, i have a 10 partition and I would like to increase it - the drive itself is 40 gigs total - please help
[00:49] <terr_> I am also considering installing Debian - only because I presently run it.  Can anyone give me reasons to use ubuntu rather than debian?
[00:49] <Um_cara_qualquer> anyone?
[00:49] <Arkhalis> terr_: 1gb or larger preferrably 2gb for the thumb drive question
[00:49] <maha> oooooooooooo
[00:49] <maha> oooooo
[00:49] <terr_> Arkhalis: 4GB are readily available too.
[00:49] <maha> oooooooo
[00:50] <VCoolio> terr_: ubuntu has more (and friendlier some say) support, especially for newcomers
[00:50] <Arkhalis> terr_: the entire "live cd" should fit on a 1gb... everything over that is basically extra space since it will have to be formatted
[00:50] <papna> Just installed 9.04 and nvidia drivers through the restricted drivers manager, and it is keeping my screen resolution low. (xorg.conf seems to have gone all minimalist on me with the new version of X!)
[00:51] <rww> Um_cara_qualquer: Change the "timeout" line in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:51] <terr_> Arkhalis: good point.
[00:51] <terr_> VCoolio: I'm not _really_ a newbie
[00:51] <Um_cara_qualquer> rww change to what?
[00:52] <VCoolio> terr_: I didn't say that, but then you should go with ubuntu to help newbies :)
[00:52] <Arkhalis> anyone else have an idea for fixing my wired ethernet?
[00:52] <rww> Um_cara_qualquer: You mean you want to set the time that OS selection screen is there before it picks the default, yes?
[00:52] <terr_> $8 / 1GB, $10 / 2GB  $14 / 4GB
[00:52] <terr_> Arkhalis: problem?
[00:52] <Um_cara_qualquer> rww thats right
[00:53] <coler> ok i downloaded a file on my desktop that has a tar.gz extension, can someone tell me what to do next
[00:53] <rww> Um_cara_qualquer: then change the number in the timeout line to the number of seconds you want it to wait before timing out
[00:54] <Arkhalis> terr_: Yesterday my wired ethernet port worked fine... today it doesent. It shows up in lshw as unclaimed... i can modprobe it just fine and i have it set in my etc/modules
[00:54] <terr_> rww cd /directory_of_your_choice, mv ~/blah.gz .  tar -xvfz blah
[00:54] <jaime> hola soy nuevo en esto
[00:54] <papnaa> Just installed 9.04 and nvidia drivers through the restricted drivers manager, and it is keeping my screen resolution low. (xorg.conf seems to have gone all minimalist on me with the new version of X!) Can anyone help me get my resolution right?
[00:54] <rww> terr_: I think you meant to tell that to someone else ;)
[00:54] <Um_cara_qualquer> rww that's what everybody tells me... but it its already 10 seconds set... but when the pc boots, it dens't take any time... it just waits
[00:54] <jaime> alguien puede ayudarme?
[00:54] <terr_> Arkhalis: check power.  unplug and replug
[00:54] <rww> jaime: language?
[00:55] <terr_> Arkhalis: check with ifconfig if its up
[00:55] <jaime> español
[00:55] <Arkhalis> terr_: for wired ethernet?
[00:55] <rww> !es | jaime
[00:55] <jaime> gracias
[00:55] <rww> Um_cara_qualquer: Even if you don't press any keys at all during bootup?
[00:55] <Um_cara_qualquer> rww yep
[00:55] <drmrhorse_> my jaunty will not login after the updates today. my login screen disappears and returns.
[00:55] <Arkhalis> terr_:i have shut down and rebooted several times to no avail... also recompiled the drivers from source and reinstalled
[00:56] <coler> or is there a program that will allow my iphoone to connect to my desktop.  I have jaadu
[00:56] <cabrey> coler, you have to jailbreak it and even then its iffy
[00:56] <terr_> Arkhalis: ifconfig will tell you if its connected.
[00:57] <coler> jailbreak what
[00:57] <rww> Um_cara_qualquer: do you have a default entry set with the default line?
[00:57] <terr_> coler:  cd /directory_of_your_choice, mv ~/blah.gz .  tar -xvfz blah
[00:57] <Arkhalis> terr_: yesterday it was listed in ifconfig, today the hardware doesn't even show in ifconfig
[00:57] <ScottG> Is there a way to reel in the cd drive after I have ejected it?
[00:57] <rww> Um_cara_qualquer: (I think Ubuntu uses "default 0" normally; if you changed it that might be a problem)
[00:57] <Um_cara_qualquer> rww i asked my teacher about it... he said it could be because there's a # in menu.lst line
[00:57] <rww> Um_cara_qualquer: on the timeout line?
[00:57] <terr_> Arkhalis: what of when you boot?
[00:57] <Um_cara_qualquer> yes
[00:57] <Arkhalis> hmm?
[00:57] <terr_> Arkhalis: dmesg should show it in the boot sequence
[00:57] <ScottG> I think I may have just ejected my CD drive on my home computer ( I am at work now) by accident. I want to pull it back in now
[00:57] <rww> Um_cara_qualquer: yeah, remove that. The whole line should just say   timeout 10   (or whatever number you want)
[00:58] <Arkhalis> terr_: I'll try that... one sec
[00:58] <terr_> ScottG: get your GF outta bed then
[00:58] <rww> ScottG: eject -t
[00:58] <terr_> rww REALLY?  Thats how we get it back in?
[00:59] <rww> terr_: That command will close the CD tray on most CD-ROM drives, yes.
[00:59] <elad``> Any idea where I can find open domain images of chess pieces?
[00:59] <terr_> rww I didn't knwo that.  I always thought we needed to do that Manually
[00:59] <papna> man eject
[01:00] <terr_> elad` use a digital camera and take your own!  THen you own the copyright
[01:00] <rww> terr_: nope. I use it all the time to script burning CDs :)
[01:00] <Mike_lifeguard> Is there a gtk media player like amarok? I'd rather not install kde cruft if I don't have to. Specifically, I need to write to an MTP player (like the Creative Zen)
[01:00] <nigrea> Hello guys, I had some problems with mysql-server, I tried to reinstall it from the top, but now it will not let me install it "E: mysql-server-5.1: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[01:00] <nigrea> " any ideas or suggestions, I could ask in mysql chat but since its more an installing error, I think u could help :)
[01:00] <terr_> elad` borne copyright conventions award copyright of a photo to the photographer
[01:00] <rww> Mike_lifeguard: Rhythmbox has an MTP plugin. I don't know if it works, though, 'cause I don't have an MTP player.
[01:00] <Smis> AH!
[01:01] <nai> Mike_lifeguard rhythmbox, listen?
[01:01] <terr_> rww: what about region free DVD/CD R/RW
[01:01] <nai> listen is ok
[01:01] <Mike_lifeguard> rww: it doesn't, so far as I can tell... and the docs state that it doesn't write to media players
[01:01] <moulin> Who can help me with a Sendmail issue?
[01:01] <nai> Mike_lifeguard also exaile
[01:01] <terr_> So for a bootable USB drive - is there any reason to go above 1GB?
[01:02] <ScottG> rww: From the man page, it actually sounds like I should use -T not -t
[01:02] <terr_> moulin: I use postfix
[01:02] <papna> terr_, You'd be able to store nontrivial amounts of data and extra software on it.
[01:02] <Arkhalis> terr_: depends on the size of the live cd
[01:02] <rww> ScottG: if the CD tray is open, -T and -t will do the same thing
[01:02] <ScottG> rww: Wait i lied
[01:02] <ScottG> rww: Yea
[01:02] <papna> ScottG, If you don't know, -t is for you--then you know it will end up closed.
[01:03] <Arkhalis> terr_: ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix fit on a 1g....
[01:03] <moulin> terr_: I want to disable local delivery for a domain
[01:03] <terr_> papna: there will be a 160GB HHD in the machine...
[01:03] <ScottG> papna: Yea.
[01:03] <ScottG> Thanks guys
[01:04] <fattybutterpance> Would anyone know how I might be able to avoid a kernel panic? I get one after resuming from sleep... not right away, but after some internet activity.
[01:04] <terr_> moulin: I have never done that.  You better ask someone else - try #postfix
[01:04] <Arkhalis> terr_:  it loads  properly according to dmesg
[01:04] <moulin> terr_: thanks!
[01:04] <Arkhalis> i'm at a loss here, completely confused
[01:04] <terr_> Arkhalis: then your driver is not loaded.  look for the driver.  lsmod I think
[01:05] <nellmathew> i'm curious if i "clone a git repository" would that be similar to adding the repos to sources? (would apt inform me of new available updates?)
[01:05] <cabrey> nellmathew, no git is a software versioning sysem
[01:05] <cabrey> system*
[01:06] <nellmathew> ah, thanks cabrey
[01:06] <cabrey> it is extremely bleeding edge software
[01:06] <terr_> So far I cannot think of why I might need more than a 1GB USB drive.  I mean a CD is < 1GB and they do the job.
[01:06] <nigrea> Hello guys, I had some problems with mysql-server, I tried to reinstall it from the top, but now it will not let me install it "E: mysql-server-5.1: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[01:06] <nigrea> " any ideas or suggestions, I could ask in mysql chat but since its more an installing error, I think u could help :)
[01:06] <Arkhalis> terr_: so what would i have to do to load the driver?
[01:06] <terr_> I'm thinking to make the USB drive bootable all I might need to do is put grub on it - then lift the boot sector and lay it back down again wiht DD
[01:06] <Arkhalis> lol... game set and match terr_ no need for more than a 1gb
[01:07] <laeg> cabrey: when i type a command in terminal like pidgin - how do i change where that actually points to?
[01:07] <terr_> Arkhalis: hmnm - I've done this b4.
[01:07] <terr_> Arkhalis: bin years
[01:07] <laeg> it's definitely installed with synaptic now but  i remember changing where pidgin looks
[01:07] <Arkhalis> bootable usb drive is easier than that
[01:07] <cabrey> laeg, it depends on the $PATH
[01:07] <terr_> Arkhalis: really?  I've NEVER used USB even
[01:07] <hipitihop> if in grub I do 'find /boot/grub/stage1' and it returns (hd0,0) and (hd2,0) how do I know which drives or mount points these relate to ?
[01:07] <Arkhalis> there is even an app out there to take the live cd file (even windows xp) and make it bootable on a thumb drive
[01:07] <redsoxking> hello everyone
[01:08] <rww> laeg: when you type in "pidgin", bash looks in your $PATH variable and looks in every directory in there, from left to right, until it finds one. You can see what's in $PATH with "echo $PATH".
[01:08] <Arkhalis> does it all for you
[01:08] <cabrey> Arkhalis, why do you need >1 GB drive?
[01:08] <terr_> Arkhalis: you will need to 1) install the driver in the mkinitrd helper file - means you need to man mkinitrd
[01:08] <terr_> Arkhalis: or modprobe blah
[01:08] <Arkhalis> cabrey: never said he did... i was saying mine was 2gb but it was extra space
[01:08] <cabrey> ahh mk :)
[01:08] <MK-ubuntu> what?
[01:09] <redsoxking> does anyone know how to convert .ppt to mpeg 4 or AVI?????
[01:09] <terr_> Arkhalis: there is a file in /etc which has the list of modules the os needs to load.  I ran into the problem when I upgraded the kernel and didn't rebuild mkinitrd and I was using a SCSI HDD and it dind't have a driver!!! kernel paniced
[01:09] <Arkhalis> hey cabrey, remember how i was having problems with wired ethernet a couple weeks ago? well yesterday it just suddenly stopped working dissapeared entirely lol
[01:09] <redsoxking> i want to post on metacafe and youtube
[01:09] <Arkhalis> terr_: i already have it listed in etc/modules
[01:09] <cabrey> redsoxking, uh record it while you're playing it back?
[01:10] <Arkhalis> terr_: however, i don't know what this man mkinitrd thing is
[01:10] <MK-ubuntu> cabrey, i thought u called me.
[01:10] <hipitihop> redsoxking: not sure what ppt is but have you tried vlc ? it has many  transcoding options
[01:10] <cabrey> MK-ubuntu, oh no haha
[01:10] <timposey> i have a webpage that has some flash links to MP3 files, but none of my browsers in ubuntu will play the audio, it works fine on a windows machine wth firefox but nothing on ubuntu. any ideas?
[01:10] <MK-ubuntu> o.O;; lolz
[01:10] <rww> hipitihop: ppt = Microsoft PowerPoint file
[01:10] <redsoxking> ppt is a power point presentation
[01:10] <cabrey> Arkhalis, is this the 1008ha?
[01:10] <Arkhalis> cabrey: yep
[01:10] <Darck1> Hi all. Got a problem with my display. SOMETHING (I don't know what) runs just after login and changes my display to 800x600 instead of the 1680x1050 that's in my xorg.conf file - any ideas?
[01:10] <cabrey> Arkhalis, i think i know why
[01:11] <cabrey> Arkhalis, there was a recent kernel update
[01:11] <redsoxking> cabrey: how do I record it...what app?
[01:11] <laeg> cabrey, rww: echo $PATH = /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games - how do i make it find where synaptic would have put pidgin?
[01:11] <terr_> Arkhalis: trust me - its important.  Its part of the boot sequence - where the kernel gets extra drivers which are needed but not compiled in.
[01:11] <rww> Darck1: is System > Preferences > Display set right?
[01:11] <cabrey> !info gtk-recordmydesktop | redsoxking
[01:11] <redsoxking> cabrey: thanks
[01:11] <cabrey> laeg, are you using your compiled pidgin?
[01:11] <redsoxking> ubottu:thanks
[01:11] <hipitihop> rww, that's what I thought but I was never aware those could be made into mpeg4 or similar formats
[01:11] <Darck1> Yup. I'm using nvidia-settings for that
[01:12] <Arkhalis> cabrey: my dmesg shows it there, and it's in etc/modules but not in my ifconfig.... terr_: i don't doubt it's important... i just don't know what you mean by man mkiniwhatever >< lol
[01:12] <redsoxking> lol
[01:12] <rww> laeg: "which pidgin" will show where pidgin is installed. Ubuntu's default location is /usr/bin/pidgin
[01:12] <terr_> Seesh - $8/1Gb, $10/2GB.  I might as well splurge!!!!  But what a WASTE
[01:12] <cabrey> Arkhalis, did you recompile the kernel for the 2.6.28-13 update?
[01:12] <cabrey> recompile the module*
[01:12] <rww> !dontzap > Um_cara_qualquer (Please see the private message from the bot)
[01:12] <terr_> Arkhalis: man gives you docs
[01:13] <Arkhalis> cabrey: would the kernet update automatically?
[01:13] <Arkhalis> kernel
[01:13] <cabrey> Arkhalis, if you used update-manager or updated using aptitude/apt-get
[01:13] <laeg> cabrey: not the compiled version, the past few hours i've been trying to uninstall it - last think i did was a config, make and uninstall from /usr/bin/pidgin-2.5.5
[01:13] <terr_> Arkhalis: what does lsmod show?
[01:14] <cabrey> laeg, if you used --prefix during ./configure, you can just delete the folder
[01:14] <Arkhalis> cabrey:alright, well i have already recompiled the source and did sudo make install and it errored out
[01:14] <cabrey> Arkhalis, can you pastebin the error?
[01:14] <Arkhalis> terr_: i would pastebin it but i can't get internet on the laptop right now lol
[01:14] <Arkhalis> hmm
[01:14] <laeg> cabrey: what do you mean during configure, i installed the latest version with synaptic?
[01:14] <terr_> Arkhalis: ugghh.
[01:14] <cabrey> Arkhalis, use a flash drive or something
[01:15] <Arkhalis> cabrey, terr_: give me a bit to copy paste and transfer to this computer so i can pastebin... they will be on the same pastebin though
[01:15] <terr_> Arkhalis: I had that problem with the mkinitrd - and my servers were down.  it wasn't just the kernel that paniced
[01:15] <cabrey> laeg, no i'm talking about the one you compiled.
[01:15] <pikeshouse88> hey guys
[01:15] <laeg> /usr/bin/pidgin
[01:15] <Arkhalis> I will pastebin lsmod, lshw, ifconfig, and the error when i sudo make install k?
[01:15] <cabrey> laeg, ok. you have one compiled version of pidgin from a while ago and one recently installed via apt, correct?
[01:15] <terr_> Arkhalis: just us lsmod while root - the driver should be listed.  If not try modprobe blah
[01:16] <laeg> cabrey, rww: which pidgin = /usr/bin/pidgin
[01:16] <timposey> i have a webpage that has some flash links to MP3 files, but none of my browsers in ubuntu will play the audio, it works fine on a windows machine wth firefox but nothing on ubuntu. any ideas?
[01:16] <laeg> cabrey: yes but i did a conf, make and uninstall on the compiled version a few mins ago
[01:16] <laeg> cabrey: then i removed and re-added the apt one
[01:16] <laeg> now pidgin = not found
[01:16] <laeg> wait shit
[01:16] <GuyFromHell> does anyone know of any software to broadcast a desktop over streaming video or something?
[01:16] <pikeshouse88> ok so, theyres a stream that plays with flash. but we all know how much flash sucks. I really want to take the stream and play it with VLC. would anyone be willing to help me decompile the SWF and find the source video?
[01:16] <laeg> cabrey: yeah, not found - used to run but was bugged
[01:17] <cabrey> laeg, run sudo aptitude remove pidgin
[01:17] <pikeshouse88> because i have no idea how to do that and its killing me
[01:17] <arash> rg
[01:17] <laeg> cabrey: it's doing it, bear in mind the source code is still in /opt/pidgin-2.5.5 in case it's relevant
[01:17] <terr_> pikeshouse88: ya - I f8ing hate flash too!
[01:17] <gmcm> I recently installed the newest version of Ubuntu. I then uninstalled the embedded version of OpenOffice. Now I would like to install OpenOffice 3.1. I've downloaded OpenOffice, but don't understand the instructions for installation. Can someone help?
[01:17] <upgrdman> other than gtk-gnutella, are there any decent p2p programs for gnome/gtk?
[01:17] <sacamano> hey, quick question. so i update my repo lists, but for some reason it never asks if i want to upgrade to OpenOffice3.0. why (or more importantly) how do you upgrade?
[01:18] <pikeshouse88> terr_: would you be able to help?
[01:18] <sacamano> gmcm, go to Add/Remove, and install it that way.
[01:18] <gmcm> Ok, I'll try that.
[01:18] <VCoolio> upgrdman: deluge, transmission, bittornado
[01:18] <rww> !p2p | upgrdman
[01:18] <terr_> pikeshouse88: I probably have too many things on my platter at the moment.  However technically I probably can help.  I need to get other things done first.
[01:19] <upgrdman> !gnutella
[01:19] <caronav> hola
[01:19] <terr_> pikeshouse88: I need to set up a new desktop, upgrade my firewalls, set up new web servers, set up full ISP style email
[01:19] <laeg> cabrey: aptitude remove pidgin complete...
[01:19] <danbhfive> sacamano: are you using LTS?
[01:20] <cabrey> laeg, if you don't mind cleaning your apt cache: sudo apt-get autoclean
[01:20] <sacamano> danbhfive, im on 8.10, i dont remember if its LTS
[01:20] <Darck1> any ideas what this is? http://pastebin.com/d28d0f9d3
[01:20] <caronav> alguien puede ayudar q pograma puedo bajar para k mi ipod touch gestionarlo?
[01:20] <sacamano> gmcm, that keeps it in your official repositories and that way fixes, updates, and patches automatically apply. if you download it straight from the web, or in a .deb package, it wont be updated.
[01:20] <cabrey> !br
[01:20] <sacamano> cabrey, thats spanish
[01:20] <sacamano> !sp
[01:21] <sacamano> !es
[01:21] <danbhfive> sacamano: well, 3.0 was abandoned, FYI.  3.1 is in Jaunty.  I'm not sure what happened with backporting it to intrepid...
[01:21] <cabrey> haha oops
[01:21] <sacamano> :)
[01:21] <sacamano> ahhh, that makes sense. thanks danbhfive
[01:22] <Darck1> :-( Someone throw me a bone? Every time I log on my desktop gets reset to 800x600 and I have no idea why
[01:22] <terr_> Arkhalis:  any luck?  What does lsmod show?
[01:23] <Arkhalis> pastebinning in one sec sorry
[01:23] <Darck1> I did a cat /var/log/syslog to step through everything in there but I can't work out what's happening
[01:24] <`Dave`> Can someone tell me how to load programs without using the terminal please
[01:24] <laeg> cabrey: sudo apt-get autoclean
[01:24] <laeg> complete
[01:24] <Darck1> alt+f2
[01:25] <terr_> Darck1: check your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
[01:25] <`Dave`> ty Darck1
[01:25] <Darck1> yw
[01:25] <Darck1> Thanks terr_ that files a new one to me
[01:25] <Darck1> I'll look now
[01:25] <Arkhalis> terr_, cabrey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/201781/   shows error for make install on driver at the bottom cabrey also everything else too lol
[01:25] <entropy> Is there a better sound driver for an iMac 7,1's card than the Realtek ALC889A? I really need to configure the bass levels in alsamixer, however this driver only gives me Master and PCM.
[01:26] <Darck1> um... I don't see a /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
[01:26] <terr_> Darck1: might be a different version.  that is what mine is.  Also I configured dual heads in so I needed to learn that stuff.
[01:27] <sacamano> Darck1, you sounds like your x.org config
[01:27] <danbhfive> Darck1: have you looked at Xorg.0.log?
[01:27] <gggg> what's the difference between modules and drivers?
[01:27] <terr_> entropy: sorry.  After the latest RIAA crap - we need to boycott all big label music and buy ONLY from artists.
[01:28] <Darck1> Okay - no I haven't looked at Xorg.0.log - looking now
[01:28] <danbhfive> gggg: in Ubuntu, drivers are loaded as modules
[01:28] <Arkhalis> you see the pastebin terr_?
[01:28] <Arkhalis> and cabrey
[01:28] <terr_> gggg: drivers live in modules
[01:28] <gggg> so device drivers and modules are same?
[01:28] <Darck1> last but one line shows nvidia setting 800x600
[01:29] <Darck1> (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "800x600"
[01:29] <gmcm> sacamano: Do I need to select the entire OpenOffice.org package when installing in order to get the automatic updates, or can I just select the functions I want from OpenOffice (like Database)?
[01:29] <Darck1> BUT - this isn't in my config file and I don't know WHAT is setting that resolution
[01:29] <VCoolio> if it happens after login it should be a user config I think; I have e.g. ~/.nvidia-settings-rc and ~/.screenrc; maybe you have something there that overrides xorg.conf, is that possible? just guessing
[01:29] <gggg> writing device driver and writing modules are similar?
[01:29] <VCoolio> Darck1: ^^
[01:29] <Darck1> thanks VCoolio - I'll look there
[01:31] <Darck1> Hmmm... I do have a .nvidia-settings-rc file that got changed 06/15/09 but I don't see anything in there that changes resolution
[01:32] <thinkle79> The recent kernel upgrade in jaunty to 2.6.28-13 broke my poulsbo drivers from the ubuntu-mobile ppa (I'm on a dell-mini-12). If I run from 2.6.28-13, I have to run in vesa mode with low res. I can boot from the previous kernel (2.6.28-11) but then my broadcom wireless drivers don't load for some reason. Any ideas how to get out of this situation?
[01:33] <Darck1> I have .screenrc but it's empty
[01:33] <Arkhalis> anything terr_?
[01:33] <danbhfive> Darck1: try creating a new user, and see if the problem remains
[01:34] <terr_> Arkhalis: just getting to it now.
[01:34] <Arkhalis> aha sorry and thanks
[01:34] <Darck1> danbhfile - I'm fairly certain that if I log in as a different user I won't get the error, kinda loathe to do that while I have you all trying to help me
[01:34] <Darck1> :-p
[01:34] <terr_> Arkhalis: what if?

[01:35] <Arkhalis> atl1e   or the wired ethernet port
[01:35] <fattybutterpance> thinkle79, Can you boot from a live USB, I had somthing simular where modules were not loading... Some links were messed up on my machine.
[01:35] <Arkhalis> it shows as attansic in lshw

[01:37] <terr_> Arkhalis: I'm looking for a real cheap one!
[01:37] <thinkle79> fattybutterpance: I haven't tried a live USB but presumably wireless would work -- wireless worked fine when I installed jaunty fresh and it worked fine until the recent kernel upgrade. It also works fine now (with the latest kernel) but my graphics are broken and I can't seem to downgrade.
[01:38] <terr_> Arkhalis: how fast is the atom verses a 1.3GHz tualatin core celron?
[01:38] <geirha> Darck1: Does the login screen have the correct resolution?
[01:38] <Arkhalis> it's decent at full speed but since it's made to conserve battery life it runs slower 90% of the time
[01:39] <terr_> Arkhalis: product: Attansic Technology Cor    <--- is that the missing nic?
[01:39] <Darck1> geirha: Yes it does
[01:39] <Darck1> that's why I think it's something that's happening in my logon

[01:44] <donny> i am trying to install wow on ubuntu and it tells me to type this into termanil
[01:44] <Darck1> bizarre - but I'm not using experimental - I'll try unblugging and replugging though
[01:44] <donny> cd /home/donavan/desktop>/
[01:44] <donny> then wine installer.exe
[01:44] <donny> when i do that i get this message wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\installer.exe": Module not found
[01:45] <Arkhalis> cabrey: no worries... i have the pastebin up http://paste.ubuntu.com/201781/ down at the bottom it shows the make install
[01:45] <joel_> donny: have you downloaded wine?
[01:45] <VCoolio> Darck1: I remember a guy having your problem, stuck at 800x600; it helped him
[01:45] <donny> yes
[01:45] <donny> and i ahve installed it
[01:45] <Darck1> okay - I've unplugged and replugged - I'll restart X
[01:45] <Darck1> brb
[01:45] <cabrey> Arkhalis, run make clean then just make and post that output. btw if you have another computer running 2.6.28-13, you can use that
[01:45] <Darck1> aw shit
[01:46] <terr_> Arkhalis: you'll note lsmod does not show the driver.  try this:  locate ar8132 / locate atl1e  modprobe ar8132  / modprobe atl1e  (should be the same name as in /etc/modules)
[01:46] <Darck1> all the stuff I've done has made me lose my "Zap"
[01:46] <Darck1> anybody remember what the command is to re-enable zap?
[01:46] <Flannel> !dontzap | Darck1
[01:47] <fattybutterpance> thinkle79: I am not too sure, maybe this link may help... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4
[01:47] <donny> does any one know what i should do
[01:47] <geirha> Darck1: It's better to log out and back in again though. That restarts X in a cleaner way
[01:47] <Darck1> k thanks
[01:47] <terr_> Arkhalis: did you do make init?  (Might not be quite correct - been a while since I've done this)
[01:47] <Arkhalis> terr_: modprobe on ar8132 errored... atl1e seemed fine it listed a bunch and the modprobe had no error
[01:47] <terr_> Arkhalis: ya - I see.
[01:47] <terr_> try make clean
[01:48] <terr_> then your make sequence
[01:48] <cabrey> pastebin it!
[01:48] <terr_> damn - I forget the make sequence
[01:48] <Arkhalis> ok i will one sec
[01:48] <donny> should i uninstall wine and reinstal it ?
[01:48] <laeg> cabrey: you there mate? i sudo aptitude remove pidgin, sudo apt-get autocleanand then tried sudo aptitude install pidgin but it says bash: /usr/local/bin/pidgin: No such file or directory
[01:48] <terr_> Arkhalis: do this for me:  cd /var/log; dmesg and tell me the bogomips
[01:48] <thinkle79> fattybutterpance: Thanks -- I think that's a different graphics driver though. I found this -- http://mok0.wordpress.com/2009/05/25/ubuntu-on-the-dell-mini-10-2/ -- which has a comment that refers to exactly what I'm experiencing. Unfortunately, the solution (install psb-kernel-source) isn't working as I'm getting error building the module.
[01:49] <cabrey> laeg, have you tried logging out and back in again?
[01:49] <geirha> donny: Sure you got the right directory?
[01:49] <donny> wich directory ? were the wow files are ?
[01:50] <geirha> donny: Try this. In the terminal type wine followed by  a space, then drag the file installer.exe onto the terminal window, then run the command
[01:51] <donny> i think it workes
[01:51] <laeg> cabrey: before or after install?
[01:51] <Arkhalis> terr_: where do i find the bogomips in dmesg?
[01:51] <cabrey> laeg, after
[01:51] <terr_> Arkhalis: at the top
[01:51] <geirha> donny: Then you had probably "cd"-ed to the wrong directory earlier
[01:51] <donny> thank you geirha
[01:51] <laeg> cabrey: when i install pidgin it also doesn't put any shortcuts in the apps menu like it used to in case that's relevant..
[01:51] <donny> whats -ed?
[01:53] <geirha> donny: -ed as in past tense
[01:53] <Fullmoon> My web server runs as www:www, I have user alpha, and beta, the server needs to read the files of the user, but I dont want user alpha to ready betas files or vice verse, how can i set this up?
[01:53] <BrianV> hi all. Is it possible to install ubuntu to an existing ext4 partition?
[01:54] <terr_> Arkhalis: damn - I can't find my goat book!
[01:54] <donny> o lol i knew that well thank you
[01:54] <darck1> tried that and a few other things besides - no dice, still resets to 800x600
[01:54] <nellmathew> umm.. how the heck do i get outta zoom desktop in compiz? =X
[01:54] <usr13> BrianV: Well, yes, but why not just let the install program repartion and re-format the space for you?
[01:54] <VCoolio> Darck1: did you also unplug on the monitor side? That was crucial to the guy I remembered; should have mentioned before; http://cafelinux.org/forum/index.php?topic=25.0;msg=159 ; otherwise I'm out of ideas
[01:54] <BrianV> usr13: because I have an existing fedora 11 partition there I want to overwrite
[01:54] <usr13> BrianV: Is it empty?  (no files on it?)
[01:55] <BrianV> usr13: the problem is, the installer isn't picking up on my ext4 partitions
[01:55] <darck1> How could that matter? If it's unplugged at one side then... well... the computer won't know that it's unplugged at the other
[01:55] <usr13> BrianV: Delete the partiton.
[01:55] <terr_> Arkhalis: make sequence:  configure; make; make install\
[01:55] <terr_> Arkhalis: make sequence:  configure; make; make install
[01:55] <nellmathew> nvm, just needed to click desktop and super+r, figures..
[01:56] <BrianV> usr13: I can't. I have 2 ext4 partitions. The installer just sees it as one big unrecognized lump of disk
[01:56] <VCoolio> darck1: [quote] how does that make effing sense [/quote] read the link
[01:56] <Arkhalis> sorry, got the fiance yaking in my ear what does that mean and that
[01:56] <darck1> lol
[01:56] <Arkhalis> can't think lol
[01:56] <BrianV> that is, it doesn't recognize the individual partitions
[01:56] <darck1> I just did
[01:56] <darck1> okay - trying again
[01:56] <cabrey> laeg, gnome sometimes takes a little to update its menu system
[01:56] <sebsebseb> BrianV: which version of Ubuntu?
[01:56] <Arkhalis> the dmesg scrolls too far and the top is too far up to read the bogomips
[01:56] <BrianV> sebsebseb: 9.04
[01:57] <sebsebseb> BrianV: and the Live CD won't detect the Fedora Ext4 hum
[01:57] <terr_> Arkhalis: NEVER but NEVER say "yacking".  tyr dmesg | less
[01:57] <Arkhalis> also...
[01:57] <terr_> Arkhalis: treat em nice!  they can make your life miserable
[01:57] <sebsebseb> BrianV: Ext4 is a bit bad in 9.04 anyway,  since  no 2.6.30  kernel from the repo  as an update and so on
[01:57] <Arkhalis> for some reason when i save my make sequence into a text doc
[01:57] <BrianV> sebsebseb: yes. Although now that I think about it... I used LVM, and if I recall, Ubuntu needs extra packages to use LVM
[01:57] <Arkhalis> text file that is
[01:57] <sebsebseb> BrianV: Ubuntu only do security updates you see, so 2.6.30 does not count
[01:57] <Arkhalis> transfer to this pc it comes up gibberish so i can't pastebin it this time
[01:57] <Arkhalis> it's odd
[01:58] <terr_> Arkhalis: dmesg | grep bogo
[01:58] <BrianV> sebsebseb: hmm... that's a problem then. The Fedora install is troublesome, and I was hoping to upgrade easily. It locks up every time I try to backup my disk
[01:58] <terr_> Arkhalis: what country are you in?
[01:58] <sebsebseb> BrianV: well with the default kernel in 9.04 people can get a lockup when deleting data, it's in the release notes
[01:58] <darck1> okay - unplugged and re-plugged, restarting x
[01:58] <Arkhalis> us
[01:58] <sebsebseb> !notes |  BrianV
[01:58] <terr_> oh - working the late shift then
[01:59] <gmap> how do i apt-get install a list of packages from a text file?
[01:59] <sebsebseb> BrianV:   Fedora 11 uses Ext4 by default, and it's meant to be pretty good there :)  also  Ubuntu 9.10 released at the end of October will be using by default
[01:59] <BrianV> sebsebseb: ok. Well, I guess my strategy then is to try to get the disk to read with the liveCD so I can back it up.
[01:59] <Arkhalis> yeah work at a bar
[01:59] <terr_> gmap put #/bin/bash as the 1st line and execute it.  chmod +c blah  ./blah
[02:00] <BrianV> sebsebseb: then I will reformat to ext3, and start from scratch
[02:00] <terr_> chmod +x blah
[02:00] <Ahadiel> gmap, for pkg in `cat /path/to/file`; do apt-get install $pkg; done
[02:00] <Darck1> Well it was a lovely little ride - but it didn't help
[02:00] <Ahadiel> gmap, but that's assuming each package is on it's own line
[02:00] <sebsebseb> BrianV: how about  starting from scratch with  at least / in Ext4, at least then Ubuntu is faster to boot.
[02:00] <Ddorda> will Intel Core2Duo E2180 run ubuntu fine?
[02:00] <terr_> Arkhalis: I'd like a beer
[02:00] <sebsebseb> BrianV: keep data on Ext3 for now
[02:00] <gmap> ok thx Ahadiel
[02:01] <BrianV> sebsebseb: because /home is already on EXT4 from the Fedora 11 install
[02:01] <will> I hope this is the channel for people that just did stupid things. I just ran gzip on a directory without using tar first. Is there anyway to unzip all of the .gz files in all of the subdirectories at once?
[02:01] <sebsebseb> BrianV: right, but you made it sound like you were going to start over from scratch with all Ext3
[02:01] <terr_> Arkhalis: what is the cheapest eeepc you have come across?
[02:01] <Ahadiel> gmap, np
[02:01] <BrianV> sebsebseb: I may have to. If EXT4 support isn't ready in Ubuntu, no sense keeping it
[02:02] <gogeta> terr_ 900a ebay 150$
[02:02] <SeekingNothing> I've got an error when I try to uninstall things that reads "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[02:02] <SeekingNothing> E: _cache->open() failed, please report." when I enter that into the terminal I get the following error, "dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0004' near line 14 package 'labyrinth': EOF during value field 'Description' (missing final newline)". What do I do?
[02:02] <Mike_lifeguard> will: probably look for an -r option in man gzip?
[02:02] <sebsebseb> BrianV: when doing another distro, it's probably  usaully better to start over from scratch well for stuff such as /
[02:02] <gogeta> new
[02:02] <samorai> hi! gye
[02:02] <BrianV> sebsebseb: well, / I would have. But /home I was trying to save
[02:02] <sebsebseb> BrianV: delete the Fedora / and start over with an Ubuntu /
[02:02] <Mike_lifeguard> will: or use find and tell it to unzip them
[02:02] <gmap> Ahadiel: would this work? "$apt-get install | cat pkg.list"
[02:02] <terr_> gogeta: a 701 is fine too
[02:02] <samorai> wher's I can get Ubuntu.fr
[02:02] <BrianV> sebsebseb: that's the problem. The disk has a / and a /home partition, both EXT4. The installer doesn't see them
[02:02] <Darck1> so - something is setting my rez to 800x600 when I log in... but we don't know what...
[02:03] <gogeta> terr 900a has a atom but the celroms are not bad
[02:03] <BrianV> sebsebseb: it just sees one big unrecognized partition
[02:03] <Ahadiel> gmap, that doesn't make sense. You would pipe the output of cat pkg.list to apt-get if anything.
[02:03] <Mike_lifeguard> will: confirmed, -r exists for gzip
[02:03] <sebsebseb> BrianV: the installer right, but manual install is pretty limited anyway
[02:03] <samorai> Ubuntu fr Please I want Link
[02:03] <Ahadiel> gmap, I'm not sure if apt-get reads from stdin
[02:03] <sebsebseb> BrianV: what about gparted?  system > administaration > partition editor
[02:03] <gogeta> terr i can get 5 hrs off this 3 cell battery without wifi on
[02:03] <gogeta> 3 with
[02:03] <BrianV> sebsebseb: checking...
[02:03] <gmap> Ahadiel: ok just wondering, your other way is working anyway.
[02:03] <VCoolio> gmap: dpkg --set-selections  < path/to/file
[02:04] <Arkhalis> alright, i give up... no wired ethernet for me
[02:04] <terr_> gogeta: I'm just going to use it as a web server
[02:04] <gogeta> terr why you ask
[02:04] <gogeta> oh
[02:04] <will> Mike_lifeguard: I've tried gunzip *.gz -r and that is telling me no such file or directory.
[02:04] <infinity217> how do i turn off wifi on my eee h1000 (fn+f2 dont work) ?
[02:04] <Arkhalis> terr_: what was that dmesg grep bogo what?
[02:04] <terr_> gogeta: I don't even need a KB and screen.
[02:04] <Ahadiel> gmap, that's good.
[02:04] <BrianV> sebsebseb: Gparted sees them
[02:04] <Mike_lifeguard> will: no, give it the directory, and use -r
[02:04] <terr_> Arkhalis: I just want to know what the bogoips are on the atom cpu.
[02:04] <sebsebseb> BrianV: ok well this is how I do it :)   well except last time when I tried the alternate CD out for my first time
[02:04] <Mike_lifeguard> will: gunzip -r /path/to/directory
[02:04] <gogeta> terr acer one or a eee ha more storage space unless you add a sd card or usb hdd
[02:04] <samorai> I want to Install Winrar because I have problem tu unzip rar
[02:05] <terr_> gogeta: I'd be happy with a broken one!!!  LOL
[02:05] <Arkhalis> yeah just tell me what to type and i will tell you before i head out for work
[02:05] <infinity217> install unrar
[02:05] <sebsebseb> BrianV: step 1  set up the partitions in Gparted   step 2 follow the installer through and finnish off in manual install,  ticking format on the partitions and telling it what to use them as
[02:05] <scunizi> samorai: install unrar instead
[02:05] <terr_> gogeta: 8GBN is lots
[02:05] <geirha> Darck1: Just to make sure, go to System -> Preferences -> Display properties, set the correct resolution, click apply and close, then log out and back in again
[02:05] <RkyRaccoon> does anyone know how to install alice on ubuntu 9.04?
[02:05] <terr_> gogeta: 8GB is lots
[02:05] <Arkhalis> cabrey: if you are still here in a bit i will get a pastebin for you when i get to work... when i have wireless access
[02:05] <will> Mike: I'm retarded. Thank you.
[02:05] <gogeta> lets switch to privat messags for this
[02:05] <infinity217> samorai: apt-get install unrar
[02:06] <Mike_lifeguard> will: no more than most people ^_^
[02:06] <Arkhalis> terr_: was it grep | bogo or something?
[02:06] <samorai> thanks i test it
[02:06] <sebsebseb> BrianV: so much more control with gparted
[02:06] <suman> so here is the thing. i want to install bouml 4.12.* and that is only in the intrepid and jaunty version.... and in their sources.....
[02:06] <cabrey> Arkhalis, whats a bit? i'll be on here for a while but not straight through the night :P
[02:06] <infinity217> how do i turn off wifi on my eee h1000 (fn+f2 dont work) ?
[02:06] <RkyRaccoon> does anyone know how to install alice on ubuntu 9.04?
[02:06] <terr_> Arkhalis: join us here:  #gogeta
[02:06] <BrianV> sebsebseb: hmm. except they are LVM. So the installer won't recognize them
[02:06] <suman> can i add the sources to my hardy heron and do the install?
[02:06] <will> Mike: that worked perfectly. Thank you so much. Have a great evening.
[02:06] <sebsebseb> BrianV: maybe Ubuntu don't have LVM  yet or something,  Ubuntu is  behind Fedora here and there always, it seems
[02:07] <samorai> thanks It's good
[02:07] <sebsebseb> BrianV: yeah Fedora is more cutting edge, later stuff  before Ubuntu
[02:07] <infinity217> it's too fast to ask anything!
[02:07] <BrianV> sebsebseb: LVM has been around for 10 years. I imagine it has it, it's just not in the installer for some reason
[02:07] <laeg> cabrey: sometimes gnome takes time to update the menu ok, but you also think that after a relog it will reconigse pidgin as a command?
[02:07] <Arkhalis> i am there
[02:07] <sebsebseb> BrianV: ah ha maybe you need the alternate CD for LVM
[02:07] <laeg> cabrey: can't i even goto pidgin wherever it is and open it to see if it runs?
[02:07] <Darck1> checking .xsession-errors file and I find where it's changing the resolution, I've just got to find out why and how
[02:07] <jackmackg> hello ubuntuers

[02:10] <sully> Has anybody had any luck swapping the mappings of Alt/Option and Command on the apple keyboards on 9.04? I've read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard, which indicates that Xmodmap no longer works and you need to use the Keyboard Preferences configuration tool. I've tried that, and it doesn't seem to work. Checking "Left Alt is swapped with Left Win" just causes them *both* to be mapped to Alt.

[02:13] <diffNewuser> aside from the module source code

[02:14] <cabrey> sully, my layout is 'Generic 105-key (Intl) PC'
[02:14] <infinity217> i have installed the eee kernel but nothing wiyh yhe wifi!

[02:15]  * sully tries doing it and restarting X
[02:15] <infinity217> i use 8.10 with eee kernel i tried UNR but the hotkeys dont work too

[02:18] <shark0der> hi all. can anyone tell me why I can't join #php ?
[02:18] <diffNewuser> inx-live: you mean like the server version ;)
[02:19] <inx-live> no, not server
[02:19] <jlaroche> I was wondering what the best way to completely remove open office? I just installed ubuntu netbook remix on a brand new eee and I want to thoroughly remove the 3.0.1 Open office that is installed by default and then install the 3.1.0 version which is available on the Open Office website...
[02:19] <inx-live> just no GUI
[02:19] <gabriel_> I have a .mov file on Ubuntu 9.04 but when I opent it it appears: audio/x-gst-fourcc-Qclp decoder
[02:19] <gabriel_> Apple SMC decoder
[02:19] <gabriel_>  and I cant hear any sound, how can I fix this?
[02:19] <RogueBond>  and I cant hear any sound, how can I fix this?
[02:19] <ArkoldThos> inx-live, is like... i hate to use sudo
[02:19] <Mike_lifeguard> RogueBond: Why are you repeating gabriel_?
[02:20] <wenko> help...I just lost some data on my HDD, from /usr/share how do I rebuild that?
[02:20] <gabriel_> Because I need some help
[02:20] <Titan8990_> wenko, how did you "lose" it?
[02:20] <gohmifune> anyone know how to make a series of ennumerated zip files from corresponding folders in terminal?
[02:20] <Mike_lifeguard> gabriel_: once is enough
[02:20] <shark0der> hey. all people here I see need some help. is this a help chanel or there is one ?
[02:20] <jackmackg> Does any one know ware i can find a key-map of the number given when you press a key on a keyboard. like when i press space i get "150" returned.
[02:21] <wenko> Titan8990_: not important <blush>
[02:21] <wenko> Titan8990_: I ment to delete the skype dir but was up too far...
[02:21] <Darck1> oh good god can somebody PLEASE help me - just tell me what log files I can paste or whatever... but this is driving me crazy. Somewhere between the login screen and loading padevchooser it's changing the resolution to 800x600
[02:21] <inx-live> diffNewuser: INX has tutorials for beginnings, you can listen to shoutcast streams, chat, gmail, graphical links browers and even watch a video in framebuffer as well as view pictures
[02:21] <wenko> rm -r ./*
[02:21] <wenko> it was retarded
[02:21] <suman> alrite.... i have hardy heron and i want to install bouml 4.12. in the hardy heron universe there is onlu 3.* , but in jaunty universe, the latest version is present, how do i install the latest version
[02:21] <Brad_R> Hey ya'll :)
[02:22] <Titan8990_> wenko, your going to be saving yourself a lot of time if you backup and reinstall
[02:22] <sagaci> I'm getting this http://paste.ubuntu.com/201795/ error when downloading packages, can someone tell me exactly what i need to take out
[02:22] <diffNewuser> hey guys, I need help with this realtek driver compiling
[02:22] <Titan8990_> wenko, especially if /home is on its own partition
[02:22] <sully> cabrey: Hm. After I set that option, xmodmap reports that Super_L is mapped to *both* mod1 and mod4. Then, running "xmodmap -e 'remove mod1 = Super_L'" gets everything working the way I want. I find this very strange, and in direct contradiction to the Apple Keyboard page's claim that xmodmap isn't useful anymore. I'm somewhat confused, but everything is working, so...
[02:22] <sully> cabrey: Thanks.
[02:22] <wenko> Titan8990_: Thats what I am thinking...but im lazy
[02:22] <diffNewuser> and it's likely I don't have the correct stuff installed
[02:22] <ArkoldThos> is like most of ubuntu users use the same partition for all :p
[02:22] <wenko> frig just another reason for me to just go build a whole new system
[02:22] <cabrey> sully, heh np, the right alt/super key didn't do that for me :/
[02:22] <nsahoo> I am considering upgrading the video card. radeon cards used to have bad driver support on linux. are they still bad?
[02:23] <ArkoldThos> nsahoo, yes
[02:23] <ArkoldThos> very
[02:23] <nsahoo> hmm
[02:23] <KillGorack> hey, greets is there a partition editor in ubuntu?
[02:23] <nsahoo> any good nvidia card suggestions? budget under 100, want many windows open on dual screen
[02:23] <ArkoldThos> nsahoo, something from series 9000 might run good
[02:24] <Apollo2366> KillGorack, Search Gparted in Synaptic
[02:24] <jlaroche> I was wondering what the best way to completely remove open office is? I just installed ubuntu netbook remix on a brand new eee and I want to Thoroughly remove Open office 3.0.1 that is installed by default, then install Open Office 3.1.0 (which I downloaded from the Open Office website).
[02:24] <KillGorack> I've installed that but can't find it in the menus heh
[02:24] <Titan8990_> wenko, well, any solution is going be very iffy
[02:24] <ArkoldThos> KillGorack, run it from terminal
[02:25] <calmbola> how can i get usb-imagewriter on 8.04?
[02:25] <Apollo2366> It's under System >> Administration, KillGorack
[02:25] <calmbola> i want to install 9.04 remix via usb
[02:25] <wenko> Titan8990_: I guess I will back up tonight and re-install
[02:25] <KillGorack> heh found it thanks! just wasnt called gparted
[02:25] <Apollo2366> np
[02:25] <wenko> Titan8990_: this was a HUGE n00b mistake
[02:26] <ArkoldThos> partition editor or some easy name that ubuntu people put on it?
[02:26] <KillGorack> yea that'sit
[02:26] <ArkoldThos> xd
[02:26] <wenko> sudo su == danger Will Robinson
[02:26] <Titan8990_> wenko, but from what I'm reading something like this: or pkg in `dpkg --get-selections|awk '{print $1}'| egrep -v '(dpkg|apt)'`; do dpkg --force-all --purge $pkg; apt-get install --reinstall $pkg; done

[02:26] <Titan8990_> wenko, i personally wouldn't recommend it
[02:26] <diffNewuser> anyone have any familiarity with compiling the realtek driver?
[02:26] <laeg> cabrey: ty :) the synaptic version of pidgin now runs when pidgin is put into the cmd line! :) the only thing now is the shortcut not appearing in applications > internet, i did manually remove this earlier because i had been using it for my compiled version - but it had the icon etc and look as it's supposed to, how can i remedy this?
[02:27] <wenko> Titan8990_: I might try that after the backup :P
[02:27] <loof_> test
[02:27] <cabrey> laeg, what do you mean by remove? right click -> edit menus?
[02:27] <Titan8990_> wenko, ehh
[02:27] <laeg> cabrey: yes
[02:27] <jlaroche> anyone?
[02:28] <laeg> cabrey: i removed the pidgin one before the last uninstall and reinstall
[02:28] <Titan8990_> wenko, i meant to take out the: do dpkg --force-all --purge $pkg;
[02:28] <cabrey> laeg, go back there and recheck it
[02:28] <laeg> cabrey: what do you mean? it's not there..
[02:28] <entropy> I get an Authentication failure when I run su. I'm being told I need to import a pgp key. how do I do that? 9.04 iMac 7,1
[02:28] <cabrey> laeg, how did you remove it? uncheck it or click delete?
[02:28] <laeg> cabrey: both
[02:29] <Titan8990_> wenko, have to reboot new kernel
[02:29] <henkboom> when I try to hibernate I get errors like "/sbin/s2disk: invalid option -- 'x'"
[02:29] <cabrey> laeg, apt should've reinstalled the desktop file... hmm
[02:29] <wenko> Titan8990: aptitude is damaged
[02:29] <sagaci> is there a gui tool to configure those new black notifications?
[02:29] <dsdeiz_> when i do update-alternatives --config what does "*" and "+" mean?
[02:29] <cabrey> laeg, do alt-f2 -> killall gnome-panel
[02:29] <henkboom> it seems that /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh is calling s2disk with -x and -y parameters, which it doesn't like
[02:29] <cabrey> sagaci, not yet
[02:29] <henkboom> what's going on here? =(
[02:29] <wenko> my...ehem, "start bar" is empty

[02:39] <Gnea> okay, why isn't pulseaudio being updated to 0.9.15 in jaunty yet?
[02:40] <sebsebseb> Gnea: ,because it does not count as a security update?
[02:40] <sebsebseb> Gnea: only security updates from those repos
[02:41] <Gnea> sebsebseb: yeah, well, it keeps on crashing and the only known fix is 0.9.15 and the bug's already been reported
[02:41] <sebsebseb> Gnea: well maybe there's a ppa for it
[02:41] <Gnea> maybe there is...
[02:41] <linuxguy2009> Hey guys I was just downloading Cairo-Dock and the plugins, and all the themes and stuff they have.I got all of them working but I have no clue as to what the musicPlayer themes are for or if i even need them.Did the RhythmBox applet replace an older music player applet or something anyone know?

[02:44] <telestrial> Hi. I'm currently wondering if there is a way to check if a router is mishandling the ipvf6 protocol ? I travel often to very specific places for work and there are two routers where I can't even load pages in Ubuntu. However, on my Windows partition everything works out okay.
[02:44] <Aacron> hey anyone in here know anything about brug?
[02:44] <linuxguy2009> bobo boot with live image and use gparted to wipe the drive maybe?
[02:45] <bobo> linuxguy: I've tried that, in fact im on a live USB right now, but I'm dual booting with vista and I dont wanna delete it

[02:45] <RequinB4> I'm consdidering buying a macbook pro with vista installed (i assume with bootcamp?) and i'm wondering if i can install ubuntu, how it will work with GRUB etc
[02:45] <cognitiaclaeves> Does jaunty play well with vmserver2 yet?
[02:45] <Aacron> I'm having a very odd issue, and I think that grub is seeing isn't what it sees once an OS is loaded... I have a SiiG Sil0680 PCI-PATA card cause I only have one IDE channel on the motherboard...
[02:45] <evandro-sp> meu ubuntu 9.04 está travando muito, alguém tem alguma solução?
[02:45] <bobo> and just have ubuntu on my comp
[02:45] <linuxguy2009> bobo Oh well cant help ya there.Good luck.\

[02:46] <Ursinha> evandro-sp, vai no #ubuntu-br :)
[02:46] <Aacron> I finally got ubuntu to load with grub (put on primary IDE), but now I cant load my windows XP
[02:46] <bobo> How do I reinstall grub?
[02:46] <soreau> ! grub | bobo
[02:46] <evandro-sp> ir onde?
[02:46] <Ursinha> !br | evandro-sp
[02:47] <BryanC> is there a way to close a stuck dialog box like in windows? (i.e. Alt-F4)
[02:47] <soreau> ! grub > Aacron
[02:47] <xu> anyone know how to use 'fsck' in a lvm partition?
[02:47] <bobo> soreua: what?
[02:47] <nellmathew> anyone know if there's a way to add a "search" box to the panel?.. like google desktop but the textbox is on the gnome-panel?
[02:47] <evandro-sp> Desculpe, não entendi, é a primeira vez que entro aqui
[02:47] <arpi> hi, are there any wget experts?
[02:47] <soreau> Aacron: You probably need to add a Windows entry to your boot loader file, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:47] <Gnea> !ask | arpi
[02:47] <Ursinha> evandro-sp, faz assim: /j #ubuntu-br
[02:47] <soreau> arpi: No, just ask your question ;)
[02:48] <evandro-sp> fazer isso onde?

[02:48] <cognitiaclaeves> how can I install vmware server 2 in jaunty?  Is there a 'how to' ?
[02:48] <evandro-sp> #Assim?
[02:48] <Gnea> !english | evandro-sp
[02:48] <Aacron> I can use the SGD to manually boot to it but if I try to use the repair functino it blows up and does a complete hard-lock
[02:48] <arpi> ok, I'd like to use http://www.google.co.uk/sendtophone?...le&gl=GB&hl=en as a pager. I know google stopped their free sms service. This website only sends a message about how to start using Google services to your mobile if you give them your number. So the idea is that if something happens in a program I would be notified via this service.
[02:48] <Ursinha> Gnea, I'm explaining him how to join the other channel
[02:48] <soreau> Aacron: Well, do you know which partition you have what installed where?
[02:48] <Mike_lifeguard> Can someone please quiet RogueBond?  I can't use an internet connection in ubuntu because it's so slow, but in Windows the connection works exactly how it's supposed to. Any suggestions?
[02:48] <evandro-sp> #Fiz certo?
[02:48] <Aacron> yep :P
[02:49] <Aacron> can I PM you?

[02:49] <Apollo2366> Hey guys, I'm connected to a windows machine on a crossover ethernet cable, I have Samba installed and running, and when I attempt to open a public share, it gives an error message "Could not display "smb://cory-pc/michael/". File is an unknown type."
[02:49] <tyk3> I'm having a really irritating time with my network connection. Whenever I turn my PC on, the network manager fails to connect to the wired network. Clicking on it in network manager manually just makes it time out. However, if I reboot the PC, it connects automatically on boot, no problem.
[02:49] <tyk3> I've tried disabling network manager, but no dice. It still won't connect till I reboot it. I have absolutely no idea how to go about de-bugging this, and no idea what could be causing it. I'm using 9.04, and the router is using DHCP. None of the other PCs connected to it have this problem, whether they're wireless or ethernet. Does anyone have any ideas?
[02:49] <xine> Hi, my OpenOffice.org and Firefox think I'm in the UK (spell-check-wise) but 'locale' and GDM and so forth all say en_US, using 8.10. Any tips? I've been searching around and only found a really old bug.

[03:48] <OpensourceFTW> yeah it looks like a whole lot of action going on
[03:48] <AceKing> Flannel: thank you
[03:48] <usr13> AceKing: If it is installed, just run it.  If not download the bootable CD version.
[03:48] <sam_> I installed the game and the huge stack of expansions get to the last. DVD it wont open with wine? i ripped, The dvd to my pc... and mounted the iso but it has some layer protection.. and its only showing 2MB file  the game is world of warcraft wraith of the lichking < lol :/
[03:49] <jlaroche> well thanks for the non-help. I figured it out myself
[03:49] <usr13> !gparted | AceKing
[03:49] <OpensourceFTW> ive never had too much luck with wine
[03:49] <markben> DS28: I'm remembering when D2 ruined my productivity during exams back in first year uni.
[03:49] <Flannel> entropy: You'll be better served if you give all the details--you imported your key to what?  What are you trying to accomplish? (heck, first off, why are you using su instead of sudo?)
[03:49] <OpensourceFTW> god bless them for trying though lol
[03:49] <sam_> if anyone has it installed please give me some advice to get it to load :-(
[03:49] <KDesk> Where can I get Firefox for 64-bit?
[03:49] <fireball> usr13: how do i fix please, i tried the permissions from properties, so far no luck
[03:49] <DS28> hahaha
[03:50] <sam_> trying and going around in circles
[03:50] <usr13> fireball: I do not understand your situation.  You will need to tell us more about your situation.
[03:51] <usr13> fireball: Tell us exactly what you are trying to do, or what is wrong, and/or what caused the problem.
[03:51] <ZykoticK9> rz187, still want to know how to get that system montior?
[03:51] <SinDerEla> I need SIS 630 accellerator drivers
[03:51] <OpensourceFTW> i would recommend crossover from code weavers. You have to tinker with wine to much
[03:52] <fireball> when i log in, i get a message that states my ,drmc file is being ignored etc. I think this is also why my kde updater isn't working and backtraces "unusable", because of weird write permissions somewhere
[03:52] <Aacron> anyone in here know grub very well?  I'm having an issue and the #grub peeps are not very gregarious in there... :(
[03:52] <entropy> Flannel: I used this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto after getting an Authentication error. I followed it all the way to Mail. I am trying to install by this link: http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#Installation
[03:52] <fireball> it says i need 644 permissions ???
[03:52] <Lunar_Lamp> Aacron: don't ask to ask, just ask :-)
[03:52] <DIL> fireball: i am just recovering from what you are asking google it - one of my 3 drives crashed installed a new one and got the dmrc message i had to reinstall and copy over home folder files
[03:53] <scunizi> fireball: sudo chmod 644 <path/to/file/or/directory>
[03:53] <usr13> Aacron: What are you trying to do?
[03:53] <Aacron> okay I have a wierd situation
[03:53] <deww> fireball: make sure your home directory isn't world readable
[03:53] <OpensourceFTW> did you encrypt any of you drives
[03:53] <fireball> dil: thanks, trying it now
[03:53] <ZykoticK9> rz187, "sudo apt-get install conky", then download the conky theme off that same link and run conky with "conky -c 74972-conkyrc"
[03:53] <Aacron> I have a sil0680 ide-PATA card that I use cause I have only one IDE onboard
[03:54] <markben> Figured out my tracker problem.  trackerd is installed in /usr/lib/tracker/trackerd.
[03:54] <Flannel> entropy: What command are you using to get the gpg error?
[03:54] <markben> It's only started when you login not like the other services.
[03:54] <DIL> fireball: i installed on the new drive not over the existing
[03:54] <Aacron> and before, I had ubuntu on the 0680, but grub woudln't boot at all... I changed the drive order, and re-installed, and not grub loads and will boot up linux, but will not load windows
[03:54] <ZykoticK9> rz187, FYI conky when run in the root window won't show up if you have Compiz's wallpaper feature turned on
[03:54] <entropy> Flannel: su
[03:54] <sebsebseb> sam_: #winehq is usually better for Wine stuff
[03:54] <cornwall> Aacron: Is windows still on the list?
[03:54] <Aacron> i've read all i can find on it and I cant figure it out
[03:54] <Flannel> entropy: Ubuntu doesn't use su.  Use sudo instead.
[03:54] <Aacron> yeppers
[03:55] <Aacron> and I can mount my windows partition in ubuntu
[03:55] <OpensourceFTW> put your windows disk in and reload your bootloader
[03:55] <entropy> Flannel: Done and done, thank you
[03:55] <Flannel> entropy: you know that caps is in the repositories already, right?
[03:55] <OpensourceFTW> google it for exact instructions
[03:55] <Aacron> although ubuntu doesn't see my RAID set (game and backup drive)
[03:55] <OpensourceFTW> ive had to do it before
[03:55] <entropy> Flannel: yes, and I did install it before installing this.
[03:55] <Lunar_Lamp> Aacron: do what OpensourceFTW says - you want something like /fixmbr from memory
[03:55] <Aacron> ubuntu sees it as two seperate HDs that are empty :(
[03:55] <cornwall> Aacron: I've read about that problem somewhere.... I think it was on the FAQ of the Supergrub wiki. I'll see if I can find it.
[03:56] <Aacron> if i do that then I lose ubuntu :(
[03:56] <Flannel> entropy: Alright, I must not understand the question then, but glad you figured it out.
[03:56] <Aacron> grub to boot ubuntu anyhow..
[03:56] <AceKing> usr13: I have 125 gb of unallocated space. When I click on ones you told me, the resize option is not available
[03:56] <Aacron> if in the grub menu, i edit the entry for windows to hd(1,0), it says starting up, but then my system hard-locks :(
[03:57] <DIL> drive cannot be mounted
[03:57] <OpensourceFTW> When dual booting I recommend unplugging other system drives while installing a new os. That way in the future the bootloaders dont get messed up.
[03:57] <Aacron> yeah
[03:57] <Aacron> that is actually what I had to do
[03:57] <Aacron> I dotn have a working floppy
[03:58] <OpensourceFTW> just press F12 to select what drive to boot into
[03:58] <Aacron> so I coudlnt' isntall xp while it was on the 0680
[03:58] <Aacron> need to be able to put in the driver disk for windows
[03:58] <scunizi> Aacron: is windows on the second harddrive in the first partition?
[03:59] <Aacron> so I installed windows on the motherboard IDE , then moved it to the 680 and put ubuntu on the primary IDE
[03:59] <cornwall> Aacron: here's some FAQs from the SuperGrub Wiki that has the sort of question you have:
[03:59] <cornwall> v
[03:59] <cornwall> http://www.supergrubdisk.org/w/index.php5?title=Boot_Problems#Windows_Boot_Problems
[03:59] <FloodBot1> cornwall: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:59] <Dishtroyer> I need help installing my fax modem. Its a PCTEL. I tried figuring it out myself but I'm just not good enoug.
[03:59] <Aacron> erm... this would be a better description of what I've been dealing with (forum post) once sec
[03:59] <Aacron> cornwall, SGD hard-locks my system too :(
[03:59] <scunizi> Dishtroyer: is it a usb modem?
[03:59] <Aacron> one sec
[04:00] <cornwall> Aacron: You mean, just BEING in SGD locks it? O.o
[04:00] <Aacron> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1194252 is the post that describes what I'm dealing with
[04:00] <Aacron> nope
[04:00] <Aacron> but running th e'automagic repair' does :(
[04:00] <Dishtroyer> (scunzini) no, its a PCI card
[04:00] <Aacron> and tryign to boot windows does
[04:00] <Aacron> :((
[04:00] <Aacron> right now though it just says erorr 17 or 22... cant remember :))
[04:01] <cornwall> Aacron: Well, all I can do is show you those questions. They seemed relevant. I don't know much about GRUB more than the basics
[04:01] <cornwall> Aacron: Sorry I can't be of more help
[04:01] <Aacron> its okay :P
[04:02] <Aacron> thanks for tryin' :P
[04:02] <n2diy> Testing, just setup Pidgin on Jaunty.
[04:02] <Guest90862> dil: it's fireball, back again. chmod 644 killed that user completely!
[04:02] <Aacron> i just dont understand it :( ubuntu sees the drive, can even mount and peruse my windows drive
[04:03] <Aacron> oh is there a way to turn off the enter/leave message on pidgin?  killin me
[04:03] <scunizi> Dishtroyer: not all modems are created equil.. the vast majority and almost all pci cards are software modems. Your chances of getting it to work are I hate to say.. slim. I had the same problem.  I needed outbound fax capability.. (new post hang on)
[04:03] <Guest90862> dil: "kstartupconfig4 does not exist or fails. The error code is 3. Check your installation"
[04:03] <DIL> fireball: i installed on the new drive not over the existing
[04:04] <Guest90862> hmmm. What's my best option?
[04:04] <scunizi> Dishtroyer: so after trying 2 external serial modems and 5 different pci modems from various era's, I brokedown and spent $49 for a usb modem that said it supported linux.. If you'd like a link to what I got I'll give it to you.
[04:04] <DIL> fireball: i then copied files from home folder to new install - the tutorial did not work forme
[04:05] <Aacron> scunizi: wow external *serial* modems were software modems?  din't think is possible :(
[04:05] <KDesk> Where can I get Firefox 3.5 for 64-bit in Jaunty?
[04:05] <n2diy> Ok, Pidgin has command line completion, does it have up arrow command recall like xchat-gnome?
[04:05] <KDesk> Or can I copy the one from Karmic?
[04:05] <Dishtroyer> scunizi: before you do that, have you seen http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pctel-linux ?
[04:06] <Guest90862> so make sure i've got this right please, because somehow my write permissions are wrong, my only option is to recreate the user from scratch? Seems a bit excessive]\
[04:06] <scunizi> Aacron: some are and some arn't.. I use to have an external that worked but it failed after a couple of years.. the replacement was from the same company and similar but didn't work.  I've seen the link,, tried and tried.. nothing..
[04:06] <FoxMulder> hi all...
[04:06] <Dishtroyer> scunizi: some documentation I recevied from the ubuntu website.
[04:07] <Drobobot> Hey I have changed MAC address by ifconfig, but after reboot it brings back the older MAC addr...How can i change it permanently???
[04:07] <ericindc> Anyone familiar w/ GNU screen know how I can start a window and cd it to a different directory?
[04:07] <usr13> Drobobot: Put commands in /etc/rc.local
[04:07] <OpensourceFTW> change it in your router
[04:07] <scunizi> Dishtroyer: the 3 externals I've tried were all us robotics.. one worked, one didn't and replaced both with a 3rd.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16825104006
[04:07] <OpensourceFTW> then power off your router and modem
[04:08] <DIL> Drobobot:   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address
[04:08] <Drobobot> usr13: that willmake it permanent?
[04:08] <usr13> Drobobot: Yes
[04:09] <Drobobot> usr13: THANX MUCH!
[04:09] <Dhdo74> hey everyone what will stop the beeping noises on my laptop
[04:09] <usr13> Drobobot: That will change the MAC address after each reboot
[04:09] <usr13> Drobobot: NP
[04:10] <entropy> Where is my local .asoundrc alsa configuration file?
[04:10] <Dishtroyer> scunizi: well, my problem is my windows crashed. I can't even boot to it. I tried to put the hard drive into an external usb case and boot to it and grub gives me an error 18. I tried and tried to figure out how to get ubuntu to recognize the PCTEL but failed.   One of my drives had a temporary crash while I was runding windows, so I rebuilt it with the intel tool, and now ubuntu won't boot because my /dev/mapper/whatever partition doesn't exist.  HOw do I fix that?
[04:10] <BePhantom> hi all, i'm going to install jaunty in a P4 with 1GB of RAM, I'm not going to use hibernation, which size should choose for Swap partition?
[04:11] <OpensourceFTW> 2gb
[04:11] <Dishtroyer> I wish ubuntu was as easy as windows
[04:12] <OpensourceFTW> ITs easier in alot of ways
[04:12] <usr13> Dishtroyer: What do you mean?
[04:12] <BePhantom> is 478MB of swap enough for 1GB of RAM?
[04:12] <usr13> Dishtroyer: Ubuntu is easier than MS Windows!
[04:12] <cornwall> BePhantom: I'd give it 1 GB, personally
[04:12] <OpensourceFTW> yes but you prob dont need that much
[04:12] <Dishtroyer> With windows, you click "add hardware and it goes pretty much all by itself
[04:12] <BePhantom> cornwall, but i never hibernate
[04:13] <OpensourceFTW> be sure to use ext4 filesystem
[04:13] <cornwall> BePhantom: ah, missed that :)
[04:13] <BePhantom> cornwall, is 478 enough?
[04:13] <usr13> Dishtroyer: What hardware are you adding?
[04:13] <OpensourceFTW> prob not
[04:13] <BePhantom> maybe less?
[04:13] <unikon>  whats the cmd to upgrade pidgin isnt it sudo apt-get upgrade pidgin     please correct me if im wrong
[04:13] <Hylian> hey, nothing too serious to say, just wanted to say i replaced windows vista with ubuntu 8.04 a month ago, and no complaints. it makes windows look sick.
[04:14] <Dishtroyer> usr13: PCTEL fax modem
[04:14] <nicha_caem_> ai
[04:14] <n2diy> Dishtroyer: and it is just as easy to catch something with Windows too.
[04:14] <nicha_caem_> alo
[04:14] <cornwall> BePhantom: I'd still put a little more PERSONALLY, but I think that would be enough
[04:14] <FoxMulder> java -version show me the correct version 1.6.0, but in /etc/jvm there's no mention to 1.6.0...is this rigth? http://paste.ubuntu.com/201827/   thanks all...
[04:14] <Dishtroyer> n2diy: only if you aren't careful
[04:14] <JohnnyBGoode> I need help with my usb microphone
[04:14] <OpensourceFTW> I would say use 2gb. Because if you using 64bit its going to use more ram than 32bit. Especially firefox
[04:15] <bastidrazor> unikon, having yahoo troubles with pidgin?
[04:15] <petafile> Is there a channel devoted to dmraid topics?
[04:15] <friendishan> !yum
[04:15] <el_americano> does 2.27.2 work with yahoo? I get an instant "Network error"
[04:15] <el_americano> sorry, empathy 2.27.2
[04:16] <unikon> yes im using the previos version 2.5.6 how can i upgrade to the latest
[04:16] <bastidrazor> !yahoo | unikon
[04:16] <cornwall> Hylian: are you new to Ubuntu?
[04:16] <nicha_caem_> ai
[04:16] <sebsebseb> unikon: Ubuntu only do security updates from the repo, so you need ppa's
[04:16] <nicha_caem_> aloha
[04:16] <Hylian> oh one more thing before i go, im so glad gnome apps arent all gnotepad and gnautilus. (wink wink kde dudes)
[04:16] <sebsebseb> unikon: or to compile yourself or whatever
[04:17] <bastidrazor> unikon, also they are working getting the fix for this out as soon as possible. currently the upgrade isn't available.. you can install the fix from a deb if you want it
[04:17] <sebsebseb> !ppa > unikon
[04:17] <maco> er...kde apps aren't all k* nowadays
[04:17] <el_americano> That's why I moved to empathy, but it failed with msn. Then I tried the PPA version, and yahoo is failing again.
[04:17] <joshthecoder> there are some gnome apps with g*
[04:17] <joshthecoder> gedit
[04:17] <friendishan> !apt
[04:17] <friendishan> ok
[04:18] <unikon> thanks sebsebseb
[04:18] <sebsebseb> unikon: np
[04:18] <bastidrazor> unikon, if switching your paging server doesn't work you could install with the .deb  :: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-Yahoo-problem-in-Pidgin-114754.shtml
[04:19] <el_americano> I want to revert from the PPA empathy version, but removing the ppa repo and updating didn't do anything.
[04:19] <BGL-[e]> i tried loading 9.04 live on an older toshiba (celeron-m) laptop today and the mofo took forever then froze every time :(
[04:19] <BGL-[e]> toshiba satellite, don't have the exact model though
[04:20] <BGL-[e]> pretty sure it's not having hardware issues as windows wasn't having any freezing or anything
[04:20] <cornwall> el_americano: did you try 'sudo apt-get autoremove' and 'sudo apt-get clean' as well?
[04:20] <BGL-[e]> i was bummed, i need a live cd to help w/getting some data off the (spyware'd & trojan'd) hd
[04:20] <JohnnyBGoode> i need help with a usb headset
[04:20] <JohnnyBGoode> any help?
[04:21] <BGL-[e]> think you can get a usb sound card of sorts and plug a headset into that
[04:21] <Ademan> does anyone know of an ls like tool (or an ls flag) that will make its recursive output list the directory structure more like a tree?
[04:21] <bastidrazor> Ademan, you could just install 'tree'
[04:22] <bastidrazor> !info tree
[04:22] <el_americano> kirby@macbuntu:~$ sudo apt-get autoremove
[04:22] <el_americano> Reading package lists... Done
[04:22] <el_americano> Building dependency tree

[04:22] <FloodBot1> el_americano: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:22] <Ademan> thanks bastidrazor sounds good
[04:22] <bastidrazor> el_americano, you would need to uninstall and reinstall the applicatino
[04:22] <cornwall> el_americano: now install empathy
[04:23] <JohnnyBGoode> any help with a USB headset?
[04:23] <usr13> Ademan:  bastidrazor There's also midnight commander
[04:23] <el_americano> removing empathy didn't remove any dependencies, so very little is getting removed. I will try again.
[04:24] <bastidrazor> el_americano, after removing the ppa do sudo apt-get update
[04:24] <usr13> Ademan:  bastidrazor See: http://www.midnight-commander.org/
[04:24] <usr13> Ademan: bastidrazor It's in the repos.  sudo apt-get install mc
[04:25] <JohnnyBGoode> Can anyone help me get my microphone working?
[04:25] <el_americano> OK, now it wants to go back to 2.26.1, but: Depends: libempathy-gtk19 but it is not going to be installed and Depends: libempathy23 but it is not going to be installed
[04:26] <usr13> JohnnyBGoode: Check to make sure it's not just muted.
[04:26] <Apollo2366> Hey, when I put a disk in my CD/DVD drive, Ubuntu doesn't do anything at all. When I try to open Places >> Computer >> CD-RW/DVD+RW it just gives an error message: "Unable to mount location."
[04:26] <JohnnyBGoode> usr13 i can't hear anything in it
[04:27] <JohnnyBGoode> usr13 its a headset with a mic
[04:27] <usr13> JohnnyBGoode: Check to see that it doesn't need to be plugged into another port.
[04:28] <JohnnyBGoode> i tried plugging it into another usb port
[04:28] <JohnnyBGoode> nothing
[04:28] <usr13> JohnnyBGoode: Oh, it's USB?  Well, I can't help you there.
[04:28] <JohnnyBGoode> ok thanks
[04:29] <usr13> JohnnyBGoode: Get one that plugs into the sound card ports.
[04:29] <OpensourceFTW> is it just the microphone thats not working
[04:29] <Apollo2366> He left

[04:37] <usr13> Apollo2366: Is your internet connection ok?
[04:37] <Apollo2366> Zosh, hold on
[04:37] <Zosh> Apollo2366: ok
[04:37] <koshari> Zosh it will take a lot longer and theres often the risk of probs when you skip a dist
[04:37] <Apollo2366> usr13, yeah why?
[04:37] <Zosh> hmm
[04:38] <cornwall> Zosh: I think it would be best in the long run to get your hands on another CD
[04:38] <n2diy__> Zosh:  get the latest LTS version, 8.10, and then you can upgrade to 9.04.
[04:38] <JayX> IS THERE  a way in ubuntu to change the tittle of the panel options (Applications, PLacce & System ) ? I want to make then shorter so i can dock more apps to my panel
[04:38] <koshari> Zosh you dont have a 1 gb or bigger memory stick?
[04:38] <ramael> I dont want to end up with stupid virows X3
[04:38] <Apollo2366> Zosh, try "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[04:38] <koshari>  n2diy 8.10 isnt a LTS ver
[04:38] <n2diy__> koshari: I was afraid of that, can' find my notes.
