[00:00] <tucemiux> chetos, i meant to say if you want to put an icon all the way to the right
[00:00] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: thats fine, its just so i can get a better picture of what you see
[00:00] <Out_Cold> tucemiux, the mail icon shows you a list of mail clients. in chetos case evolution and empathy
[00:00] <needhelpUbuntu> do you want to walk me through from 2nd laptop? i can do that no prob
[00:00] <chetos> yeah
[00:00] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, oh i understand lol yeah its always better to be on the box
[00:00] <needhelpUbuntu> i agree
[00:00] <chetos> but i have evolution installed and it doesnt appears :S
[00:01] <needhelpUbuntu> brb im gonna set up the 2nd lap top brb
[00:01] <chetos> there is only empathy
[00:01] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: so is there anything at all in /media/whatever/ ?
[00:02] <euphorianx3> hello, im trying to install lucid-desktop-i386.iso, but its too big for a CD-R (i am burning it as an image cd, not a data cd).  the burning processes fails at 98-99% and i dont know what to do.
[00:02] <tucemiux> Out_Cold, that icon is used in gnome?  i've never seen it in ubuntu, maybe kde? let me fire up my virtual machine
[00:02] <novato_br> how could I share internet connection between windows 7 and ubuntu?
[00:02] <Out_Cold> tucemiux, it's gnome dependant.. one sec please
[00:02] <Out_Cold> indicator-applet 0.1
[00:02] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, yes
[00:03] <needhelpUbuntu> its would appear to be all there, but /home/myuser info is not
[00:03] <needhelpUbuntu> odd
[00:03] <needhelpUbuntu> i dont remember efs'ing the drive
[00:03] <Out_Cold> tucemiux, chetos: http://launchpad.net/indicator-applet
[00:03] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: try cd'ing to the directory and ls
[00:03] <chetos> yeah that
[00:03] <novato_br> hi hi
[00:03] <needhelpUbuntu> i did the basics
[00:03] <needhelpUbuntu> my data is not there
[00:03] <needhelpUbuntu> its skel only
[00:04] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: skel?
[00:04] <novato_br> connection sharing between windowsxp and ubuntu does work so fine
[00:04] <chetos> Out_Cold how i add items to that box?
[00:04] <h4h4> help
[00:04] <chetos> i wanna add evolution there
[00:04] <JohnnyDebt> hey.. how do ONLY download header in evolution email?
[00:04] <novato_br> but connection sharing between win7 and ubuntu 9.10 doesn't work properly
[00:04] <needhelpUbuntu> old unix/linux term for default dir files when you adduser
[00:04] <Out_Cold> chetos, no idea, it was automatic for me and has been so since install.. never had to manually add
[00:04] <chetos> ohh
[00:04] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, as in /etc/skel
[00:04] <chetos> ok
[00:05] <iflema> chetos what version of evolution do you have installed?
[00:05] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: ah, good to know
[00:05] <chetos> Evolution 2.28.1
[00:05] <iflema> chetos just check'n
[00:05] <JohnnyDebt> novato_br, there is a thread on ubuntu forums.. like it was just created and it's hot. Got to the networking and wirless section in the forums, must be on top of the queue
[00:05] <JohnnyDebt> chetos, the newest one
[00:05] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, 2nd box is up, i will goto that box now, and reboot this troubled laptop without livecd, meet you in a few.. i will same user. needhelpUbuntu
[00:06] <needhelpUbuntu> exit
[00:06] <novato_br> ok, JohnnyDebt
[00:06] <chetos> yeah
[00:06] <KenBW2> KenBW2: hey i can talk to myself
[00:07] <JohnnyDebt> chetos, i know its noob but the help is not working and i can't seem to find the option only to download header of the mail, not the complete thing
[00:07] <chetos> =/
[00:08] <JohnnyDebt> chetos, like i don't need the mail for offline use, just the subject..comeon it use to happen on evolution, but that was the last time when i formated
[00:08] <hyperstream> JohnnyDebt, google it perhaps
[00:09] <JohnnyDebt> hyperstream, firefox not opening.. probably due to the instalation of the kernel
[00:09] <JohnnyDebt> nevermind.. ill google it.. :)
[00:09] <hyperstream> lol
[00:09] <JohnnyDebt> i thought i could've taken the shortcut :<
[00:09] <hyperstream> google might be the short cut :P
[00:12] <tucemiux> chetos, still there?
[00:12] <chetos> yes
[00:12] <chetos> trying on Ubuntu forums
[00:12] <tucemiux> chetos, are you familiar using the terminal?
[00:12] <chetos> mm...no
[00:12] <Dravekx> if I have /var/help and /var/help/help2 ... how do i move the ALL contents of help2 to help via ssh?
[00:13] <chetos> i am kinda noob with Ubuntu
[00:13] <chetos> just installed 1 week ago
[00:13] <tucemiux> chetos, open up a terminal, it should be in "Accesores"
[00:13] <tucemiux> chetos, "Accesories-->terminal"
[00:13] <hyperstream> Dravekx, man mv
[00:13] <chetos> ok i am in
[00:14] <markstos> Dravekx: mv /var/help2/* /var/help/
[00:14] <MrKeuner> hello, how can I install c/c++ development plugins in ubuntu installation of eclipse galileo?
[00:14] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, ok, back. thanks for waiting...
[00:14] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: hi again
[00:15] <tucemiux> chetos, did you see my PM?
[00:15] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, first error,,, Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode, nvidia failed to load the nvidia kernel mod
[00:15] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: needhelpUbuntuapt-get install nvidia-settings
[00:15] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, i would like you to check this doc first ok.. this is what i did to fug it up
[00:15] <needhelpUbuntu> i have to get to command prompt
[00:15] <needhelpUbuntu> sb stand by
[00:15] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: ill make sure not to follow its instructions then :P
[00:15] <puff> I have a thinkpad with a 60 GB drive, partitioned into 5 GB for /, 10 GB for /home and 30 GB for bulk data.  It has intrepid on it and the 5 GB / partition is almost full.  I want to a) resize stuff to make / bigger and b) upgrade  to a more recent release.
[00:16] <puff> I have an external drive enclosure with a terabyte drive.  What's the best way to back up my system to it?
[00:16] <g0tcha> hey guys, is there a good video capture program for ubuntu?
[00:16] <KenBW2> puff: copy your home folder
[00:16] <needhelpUbuntu> said, svidia settins set already newest version
[00:16] <tsunami> could someone help me out with the command line ..er.. command to open an archive with the archive utility
[00:16] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: are you SSH'd in with the -X option?
[00:17] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2,  not yet. sb
[00:17] <markstos> puff: I use rsnapshot
[00:17] <markstos> tsunami: In gnome, clicking on an archive usually works.
[00:17] <tsunami> i'm extracting to a location owned by root
[00:18] <tsunami> hrm.. i'll extract then move..? is that the practice were doing in ubuntu?
[00:18] <markstos> tsunami: What extension does the archive have?
[00:18] <tsunami> .tar.gz
[00:18] <lexual> Any know where config files for nautilus-share is, so I can backup my config.
[00:18] <LOWERPOW4E> .Im   UsinG. .H4cKeRzE.
[00:18] <markstos> tsunami: First check the contents: tar -tzvf foo.tar.gz | less
[00:19] <markstos> tsunami: You want to see what the folder structure inside the archive is.
[00:19] <tsunami> it's drupal
[00:19] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, i removed what is here but didnt remove the ln -s  http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Setup_Jail
[00:19] <tsunami> 1mb spread over a few folers
[00:20] <bentob0x> how do I scan my local network for machines on it?
[00:20] <tsunami> ehh i just did the extract, then move approach
[00:20] <tsunami> thanks markstos
[00:20] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, loggin in now, -X option set
[00:20] <needhelpUbuntu> ok im in
[00:20] <markstos> tsunami: OK.  The extract command would have been: tar -xzvf drupal.tar.gz
[00:20] <markstos> tsunami: I use Drupal, too.
[00:20] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: where did you get up to before things screwed up
[00:21] <tsunami> i was using joomla
[00:21] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, ok im in, but... i think im in single user mode
[00:21] <tsunami> but switched for the "case tracker" plugin
[00:21] <needhelpUbuntu> agian, skel dir on /home/mysuer
[00:21] <needhelpUbuntu> ugh
[00:21] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: run nvidia-settings
[00:21] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, k, sb
[00:22] <tucemiux> bentob0x, go to the forum or google and learn to use nmap
[00:22] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, error: control display is undefined
[00:22] <bentob0x> nmap it is, thx tucemiux
[00:23] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, apparently i have lost my /home/myuser/.* settings
[00:23] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: i cant see anything on the VB page that should rm your ~/
[00:23] <puff> markstos: The terabyte drive is ntfs formatted, is that a problem?
[00:23] <blakkheim> !awai > digilord|walking
[00:23] <blakkheim> !away > digilord|walking
[00:23] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, i know,, huh, i dont get it
[00:23] <sagaci> guys, I just have to say Ubuntu really rocks. this thing just runs on just about anything
[00:24] <markstos> puff: Is what you are backing up Ubuntu Linux?
[00:24] <blakkheim> puff: linux can write to ntfs with ntfs-3g, but there is a small speed/cpu overhead
[00:24] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2,  i did the reverse of those settings, so for i in /var.... i did sudo umount $i
[00:25] <needhelpUbuntu> how do i unchoot the /var/64,, i did an umount of that drive, then deleted it.
[00:25] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: im afraid i get the feeling you know more than i do
[00:25] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, possibly lol
[00:25] <Illuminatus> I have a question about PARANOID option in tcpd. I don't understand how it can detect spoof atack. If I send a packet with a source spoof ip when the linux server recive the packet it'll try to resolv that ip and is a ip valid it will get a name for that ip. How does it consider Its a spoof ip?
[00:25] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, but we all have our specialities
[00:26] <puff> markstos: Yes.
[00:26] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: reading the paragraph at the top of that page it sounds like you have a rare setup
[00:27] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, i try to be cutting edge lol
[00:27] <markstos> puff: I would recommend repartitioning the drive: Put some in the same format of your Ubuntu partition you are backing up, and leave some in NTFS or FAT32 (so you can easily share files with friends)
[00:27] <markstos> puff: It's safest to use exactly the same file system on the source and backup partitions.
[00:28] <puff> markstos: Unfortunately, there's stuff on the drive.
[00:28] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, i tried the nvidia gui thingy, says, count not generate a new confg
[00:28] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: permissions?
[00:28] <puff> markstos: Okay, thanks... I have another terabyte drive in another machine, mabe I can shuffle stuff around.
[00:28] <sagaci> will ubuntu be fine on a 25gb partition on a 80gb hdd with XP on the other partition (xp has heaps of viruses)
[00:28] <markstos> puff: You can likely resize the NTFS partition. I have done it before to create dual boot systems.
[00:28] <danbhfive> sagaci: a base install uses like 6g I think
[00:28] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: is it possible you chrooted your ~/
[00:28] <needhelpUbuntu> possibly
[00:28] <needhelpUbuntu> sb
[00:29] <sagaci> danbhfive: and just quickly how do I check how good a graphics card is supported, it's a nvidia one
[00:29] <puff> Hm, I have some other portables around, I will see if I can find one with not-ntfs on it.
[00:29] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, possibly
[00:29] <needhelpUbuntu> i followed those instructions
[00:29] <needhelpUbuntu> on link
[00:29] <markstos> puff: They usually come formatted with NTFS or FAT32.
[00:29] <danbhfive> sagaci: I usually use yahoo, but also, nvidias usually work well
[00:29] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, they failed to say how to remove it though in howto... bastard
[00:29] <needhelpUbuntu> bastards
[00:30] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: ls -la your home folder
[00:30] <puff> markstos: Yeah, but likely at least one of the others I reformatted.
[00:30] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, yep
[00:30] <needhelpUbuntu> its there
[00:30] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, its all owned by me
[00:31] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: so why wouldnt nvidia-settings be able to make a profile folder
[00:31] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: try (gk)sudo nvidia-settings
[00:32] <needhelpUbuntu> im still chrooted i think
[00:32] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, tried that 5 mins ago
[00:32] <needhelpUbuntu> nogo
[00:32] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: im afraid im out of ideas/knowledge
[00:33] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, im gonna try to put things back, ssh the home/mysuer and reinstall lol
[00:33] <needhelpUbuntu> ill let you know what happens
[00:33] <needhelpUbuntu> i still think im in single user mode
[00:33] <needhelpUbuntu>  /boot/grub/menu.1st isnt there
[00:33] <kappa> hi guys, i nedd help to mount an hdd. Can anyone help me please?
[00:34] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: i think that was changed in karmic iirc
[00:34] <markstos> kappa: Ask your question
[00:34] <tucemiux> needhelpUbuntu, menu.1st is no more in grub2
[00:34] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, ill be amazed if it works, but i think all my data is gone.... sighs...
[00:34] <rahduke> if I get a digital HD PVR card will I be able to recieve all the channels that i get thru my cableprovider?
[00:34] <needhelpUbuntu> im on amd64
[00:34] <needhelpUbuntu> 9.10
[00:34] <MrKeuner> hello, how can I install c/c++ development plugins in ubuntu installation of eclipse galileo?
[00:34] <needhelpUbuntu> tucemiux, where is it
[00:34] <needhelpUbuntu> :)
[00:34] <Markive> hi all , is there a way to adjust the frequency output of the soundcard ? the output is too bassy. thanks mark
[00:35] <kappa> i have installed ubuntu on my pc. I have 2 hdd in it. One is dedicated for the operative system and the other is for data. In partitioned in ntfs but i can't see it. How can i mount it to save the data and then change th filesystem into ext3-4?
[00:35] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: i started doing backups recently, one day ill be pleased i did
[00:36] <sagaci> is there a tool to defragment an xp partition from ubuntu
[00:36] <sagaci> kappa:
[00:36] <sagaci> kappa: sudo fdisk -l
[00:36] <needhelpUbuntu> it kinda makes sense, still chroot'd, as when i tried to copy my dir while using liveusb, i mounted that drive, and it said i couldnt smb it over, which means, its perms or chroot,, i believe, thus, using that friggen debootstrap command initially dia a whole fs on /var/64
[00:36] <needhelpUbuntu> when i deleted it,, i removed my ability to work with my home dir... dunno, just a thought
[00:37] <needhelpUbuntu> << not a master of chroot yet
[00:37] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: whats debootstrap?
[00:37] <sagaci> !paste | kappa
[00:37] <woodyjlw> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Adding%20the%20Repositories
[00:37] <needhelpUbuntu> debootstrap (8)      - Bootstrap a basic Debian system
[00:38] <needhelpUbuntu> do a whatis on it
[00:38] <needhelpUbuntu> ;)
[00:38] <kappa> sagaci, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1575a816
[00:38] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: whats bootstrap :P
[00:39] <danbhfive> sagaci: you need windows to run those defrag tools
[00:39] <Markive> is there an eq or something i can adjust the bass and treble of the soudcard on ubuntu please
[00:39] <sagaci> danbhfive: so i have this windows partition full of viruses, i'll just boot into safe mode or normal mode without networking and defrag?
[00:40] <danbhfive> sagaci: I guess, why do you want to defrag?
[00:40] <Soyo> You no longer need anything that is not open source
[00:40] <sagaci> danbhfive: i thought it would be safer before installing ubuntu on the same disk
[00:41] <kappa> sagaci, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1575a816 then?
[00:41] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, i guess its related to brastrap
[00:41] <iflema> kappa in gnome mounted & unmounted partitions show under the places desktop menu or the upper left pane of nautilus (home on the places menu)
[00:41] <needhelpUbuntu> and jockstrap
[00:41] <danbhfive> sagaci: within the same partition? or on a separate partition?
[00:41] <needhelpUbuntu> debootstrap is still running,,, its a serious cmd
[00:41] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: perhaps - didnt know debian swung that way :D
[00:41] <kappa> iflema, i can't see the partiotin
[00:41] <puff> Markive: Hm, there should be.  I'm trying to remember where it is.
[00:42] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, i think debian is very PC
[00:42] <sagaci> danbhfive: same partition on an 80gb hdd, about 20gb for ubuntu rest (60gb left for xp)
[00:42] <needhelpUbuntu> like the rest of the world
[00:42] <sagaci> kappa: so the partition doesn't show up in nautilus
[00:42] <Markive> puff thanks, i'll standby
[00:43] <kappa> sagaci,  no. Only in fdisk but not home or desktop
[00:43] <danbhfive> sagaci: so wait, on separate partitions? or the same partition?  I don't know about using wubi, but separate partitions should be fine
[00:43] <g0tcha> hey guys, is there a good video capture program for ubuntu?
[00:44] <vector1> @g0tcha: Try cheese or VLC :)
[00:44] <vector1> @g0tcha: There's also xawtv.
[00:44] <sagaci> danbhfive: xp is just here atm on a 80gb partition. i want to use the partition thing in ubiquity to install them side by side
[00:44] <Jeruvy> g0tcha: krut is pretty good depending on what you are looking for.
[00:45] <vector1> @g0tcha: It depends on what you want to do. Do you want to capture from a video camera, or a webcam, or a tv tuner?
[00:46] <g0tcha> i have a composite video card on this computer i have ubuntu installed and i want to plug my tv reciever to capture few game videos
[00:46] <sagaci> kappa: go sudo mkdir /media/windows
[00:46] <danbhfive> sagaci: that should be fine, no matter the virii of windows
[00:46] <LoopBack> has anyone played with the banshee that was released today?
[00:46] <sagaci> danbhfive: i need to keep the existing windows there for photos and music etc
[00:47] <vector1> @g0tcha: Composite being DVI/VGA out and S/Video in?
[00:47] <sagaci> kappa: done?
[00:47] <g0tcha> vector1, yes, DVI output from pc to monitor and Composite in to pc
[00:48] <kappa> sagaci, an errore became. Impossible to create the direcotry "/media windows": The file exist
[00:48] <sagaci> did you type exactly sudo mkdir /media/windows
[00:48] <vector1> @g0tcha: regardless, (to my knowledge) VLC or xawtv should be able to do that. I'm not an expert but if you're lucky you might have the device /dev/video or /dev/video0 or something similar to access your composite capture.
[00:49] <g0tcha> hmmm
[00:49] <g0tcha> you think its easier to do it in a Windows OS, vector1?
[00:49] <vector1> @g0tcha: bang this into a terminal
[00:49] <vector1> ls /dev/ | grep video
[00:50] <drew31> Hi People,  I am moving to Ubuntu from Mandriva: Does Ubuntu use the term 'Mozilla-Thunderbird'  or  simply  'Thunderbird'  ??
[00:50] <vector1> Depends. If the video device is there, it might be as simple as opening VLC, selecting 'capture device,' and picking /dev/video0. Then you can save it to a file, stream it, ...
[00:50] <vector1> @drew31 afaik the default e-mail client is evolution
[00:51] <needhelpUbuntu> interesting.......
[00:51] <coz_> drew31,  for installation i believe mozilla thunderbird but let me check
[00:51] <g0tcha> vector1, it returend "video0
[00:51] <needhelpUbuntu> i did what i said i would,,, i got to desktop but... all my data is gone......
[00:51] <g0tcha> "video0" i mean
[00:51] <needhelpUbuntu> i need to learn forensics so i can recover data better....
[00:51] <coz_> drew31,   it is inded mozilla-thunderbcird
[00:51] <coz_> drew31,  sorry  mozilla-thunderbird
[00:52] <sagaci> hey, if i've got two separate computers next to each other, can i just use an ethernet cable into their sockets to network them together or do i need a hub or router
[00:52] <coz_> drew31,  although there is also  just  "thunderbird:"  in the repositories
[00:52] <Awesome3000> sagaci: You Probally need a crossover cable
[00:52] <actionparsnip> Yo yo yo
[00:52] <coz_> drew31,  ok just thunderbird for the actual pacakge  and mozilla-thunderbird for the transitianl package
[00:52] <drew31> vector1, coz_,  thanks,  I put the two together and didn't know which was old and which was new and belonged to ubuntu.
[00:53] <onetinsoldier> hello actionparsnip :)
[00:53] <needhelpUbuntu> whats the hotkey to access the gui menus without a mouse....
[00:54] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: alt+f2
[00:54] <vector1> @g0tcha If you grab vlc from the software center, open it, Media menu -> Open Capture Device
[00:54] <needhelpUbuntu> no
[00:54] <needhelpUbuntu> the menus on the desktop
[00:54] <Callum_> sagaci: Yeah, you'll need a special Ethernet cable called a crossover cable
[00:54] <actionparsnip> Need or alt+f1 to bring up the gnome menu
[00:54] <iflema> needhelpUbuntu Alt+F1
[00:54] <needhelpUbuntu> thank you
[00:55] <sagaci> Callum_: are they rare
[00:55] <Callum_> sagaci: Not at all
[00:55] <sagaci> Callum_: how much roughly
[00:55] <vector1> @g0tcha you'll use /dev/video0 as your video device name, and see if that gets you anywhere
[00:55] <Callum_> sagaci: They're not very expensive, probably about the same as regular Ethernet cables
[00:55] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: you can type a bit of the app name in the alt+f2 dialogue instead of navigating the menu
[00:55] <g0tcha> vector1, cool let me try that out
[00:56] <Out_Cold> sagaci, some NICs have cross-over capability.... but not very common... a cheap $5 hub from kijiji would do you fine
[00:56] <vector1> @g0tcha No worries. If that works, then go media menu -> streaming, pick the capture device tab from the top and type /dev/video0 as the device. Click stream, then you can tick the 'stream to file' box, which is basically saving video live (which I'm guessing is what you're after).
[00:56] <needhelpUbuntu> actionparsnip, i know, but i dont know all the menu commands that well. id rather arrowdown
[00:56] <Nicola> .bin2
[00:56] <Out_Cold> sagaci, and almost any computer shop would make you a cable for about the same price as it is to buy new
[00:57] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: well now you know 2 ways ;)
[00:57] <vector1> While I'm here, I was wondering if anyone could help me with compiling ffmpeg :)
[00:57] <sagaci> Out_Cold: no, my local computer shop seems dodgy and overpriced
[00:57] <needhelpUbuntu> what i want to know is where is all my data that was under the /home/myuser dir!!
[00:57] <g0tcha> vector1, yes, thats what im exactly what i want
[00:57] <Out_Cold> sagaci, you can always make your own but that's a bit of a hassle
[00:57] <needhelpUbuntu> actionparsnip, thanks. alt f1 is what i didnt know
[00:58] <sagaci> Out_Cold: yeah not too good with my hands
[00:58] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: what do you mean about your data?
[00:58] <viper474> Hello, for some reason my headphone audio is only sounding on the left side.  Could someone help me with this issue?
[00:58] <needhelpUbuntu> since i was running a chroot'd env under /var/64 and followed these instructions,, i somehow destroyed my user dir
[00:58] <needhelpUbuntu> http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Setup_Jail
[00:58] <needhelpUbuntu> i removed things not properly
[00:59] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: restore from your backups then
[00:59] <needhelpUbuntu> actionparsnip, you know, /home/youruser/stuff
[00:59] <needhelpUbuntu> actionparsnip, what are you saying?
[00:59] <needhelpUbuntu> i wouldnt be here if i had a backup lol
[00:59] <vector1> @viper474 if you're certain that your headphones work properly and it is not a problem with the connection, you can use alsamixer to see if your left/right volume is correct
[00:59] <needhelpUbuntu> i am building a new box, didnt get to backups yet
[01:00] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: if you data is important to you then you will have a backup. No backup == data is disposable
[01:00] <needhelpUbuntu> i dont see how my data just vanished
[01:00] <Trek> hey, how do I set up remote desktop on Ubuntu?
[01:00] <Out_Cold> actionparsnip, i learned that lesson with over 5000 ebooks that magically disappeared
[01:00] <needhelpUbuntu> look at that link and show me where i would have lost it from while removing this and that...
[01:00] <needhelpUbuntu> actionparsnip, enough, i dont need that right now,,, just stay outta of it,
[01:01] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: you can use foremost to extract data from unused sectors but don't expect miracles
[01:01] <vector1> Would anybody be able to help me with compiling ffmpeg? I'm having a small issue with libx264 and I'm not quite sure how to track it down
[01:01] <actionparsnip> Out_cold: people need to learn to backup as systems become more entwined in their lives
[01:01] <needhelpUbuntu> actionparsnip, i was looking into foremost, havent used it before, but it was on some docs i read this morning
[01:01] <Out_Cold> vector1, what's the error exactly?
[01:01] <kappa> sagaci, are you still here?
[01:02] <Trek> hey, how do I set up remote desktop on Ubuntu?  i kind of need the access, and I need Remote Desktop access capable of working with Windows
[01:02] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: look for: ubuntu data recovery
[01:02] <Out_Cold> actionparsnip, yea... i now keep a huge backup on my server and occasionally do dvd bkups
[01:02] <needhelpUbuntu> actionparsnip, explain how "unused" sectors applies
[01:02] <viper474> @vector1: Oh, I hope they are working properly, I will have to find others to know for sure...I just now looked at the wire leading into the earpiece.  There could be a small problem there.  I guess I was looking too hard into it since, I kept looking over the settings in pulse audio and wondering what was going on.  I could boot into Vista and I'd know for sure.
[01:02] <vector1> @out_cold When compiling, I hit a brick wall with the following:
[01:02] <vector1> home/vector/Source/ffmpeg/libavcodec/libavcodec.so: undefined reference to `x264_encoder_open_83'
[01:02] <sagaci> kappa: did you exactly type sudo mkdir /media/windows
[01:02] <edektor> anybody know of some good command line audio inspection tools?
[01:02] <chungachanga> i am new to ubuntu need help with soundcard
[01:02] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu; if the OS can't see the files then the data bits are not marked as 'used'
[01:02] <Out_Cold> vector1, did you apt-get build-dep ffmpeg??
[01:02] <kappa> yes i did sagaci, it works and i fix it
[01:03] <chungachanga> i have hp hdx9000 laptop
[01:03] <kappa> sagaci,  i hav another question
[01:03] <Trek> hey, how do I set up remote desktop on Ubuntu?  i kind of need the access, and I need Remote Desktop access capable of working with Windows
[01:03] <vector1> @out_cold I've googled for x264_encoder_open_83 and nothing comes up. I've `grep x264_encoder_open_83 ./*` and only the libavcodec.so matches
[01:03] <g0tcha> weird.. cant find vlc in the software center
[01:03] <vector1> @out_cold I grabbed the latest git clone yesterday
[01:03] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: bits cannot be empty, they will always be a 1 or 0 so you may be able to recover some of the data which you haven't overwritten
[01:03] <Out_Cold> vector1, no idea then mate.. sorry
[01:03] <vector1> @out_cold of x264 and ffmpeg separately
[01:03] <Trek> anyone here know about Remote Desktop and Ubuntu?
[01:03] <iflema> !vnc | Trek
[01:03] <vector1> @out_cold thanks anyway :)
[01:03] <chungachanga> anyone care to help me with sound
[01:04] <Trek> thanks
[01:04] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: imagine if your drives motor failed overnight. Where is your data?
[01:04] <viper474> thanks guys, I'll check my stuff...
[01:05] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: as I said earlier. No backup == you don't care if you lose it.
[01:05] <kappa> sagaci, i have another question for you.
[01:05] <vector1> nobody else for compiling ffmpeg with libx264? :D
[01:06] <actionparsnip> Vector1: is there not a ppa with it already done
[01:06] <SERBIA> alo majmuni
[01:07] <vector1> @actionparsnip I'm not sure. I'm not very familiar with ppa. I had issues with using the ffmpeg packages on apt-get (installing -dev and some other stuff ended up conflicting, so I wanted to compile)
[01:07] <actionparsnip> Vector1: websearch for: ppa search
[01:07] <Daugha|n> Is there a test package I can get to see exactly what my proccy is doing?
[01:08] <vector1> @actionparsnip thanks, will do
[01:08] <actionparsnip> Vector1: you will find the launchpad seach page and you can try finding a maintainer whom has already compiled
[01:08] <onetinsoldier> Daugha|n: you mean to see how much activity your processor has? it's load...
[01:08] <actionparsnip> Vector1: you may have to contact them to verify
[01:09] <actionparsnip> Daugha|n: use: top
[01:09] <vector1> @actionparsnip Thanks, I'm checking it out now. :)
[01:09] <Daugha|n> actionparsnip: top?
[01:09] <actionparsnip> Daugha|n: type it in a terminal and hit enter
[01:10] <actionparsnip> top
[01:10] <sagaci> kappa: what's the question
[01:10] <Daugha|n> Oh, that just shows me what is running...
[01:10] <actionparsnip> Daugh|n: read the top lines ;)

[01:15] <vector1> @viper474 bugger. Might be worth checking the cable hasn't become wrecked at either end, that it's in the headphone properly and everything. If they're earbuds there won't be a lot you can do to fix them.

[01:16] <tcarter> ctrl alt arrows only switch between workspaces.....any idea how to switch to second monitor....ctrl alt f7/f8?
[01:16] <rolsworth> because i remember flash not wokring on 64bit
[01:16] <rww> ubottu: flash64 | rolsworth
[01:16] <actionparsnip> Rolsworth: there are native 64bit flash and jave. Ubuntu uses an abstraction layer with the 32bit plugins and they work fine too
[01:16] <arand> !serbian | SERBIA chungachanga
[01:16] <rww> rolsworth: the "64-bit Firefox and 64-bit Flash plugin" worked fine for me.
[01:17] <viper474> @vector1: It's not the jack, because I could play something and then manipulate the cord that goes into the earpiece and I could hear sound...There is a small cut in the wire.
[01:17] <actionparsnip> Rolsworth: browser plugins have very little to do with stability
[01:17] <tcarter> random832: sorry i didn't notice you responded...no i have two seperate desktops
[01:17] <rolsworth> so it's not like windows where the default browser is 32bit
[01:17] <iAmerikan> I'm about to create a small partition and install XP on it for a game. Are there any ways to makesure I don't have problems re-loading grub?
[01:17] <Random832> tcarter; i didn't even know you could do that anymore
[01:18] <rww> rolsworth: no
[01:18] <Random832> and you can't move the mouse between them?
[01:18] <vector1> @viper474 yeah, you'll either have to break them open and solder/tape the cable to repair it or get a new set.
[01:18] <actionparsnip> Iamerikan: I can't see how you can do anything different. You will need to reinstall grub though
[01:18] <Random832> try ctrl-alt-f8 i guess - i've literally never heard of anyone with such a setup before
[01:18] <iAmerikan> actionparsnip, just making sure.
[01:18] <actionparsnip> Rolsworth: you can use firefox32 if you wish
[01:18] <viper474> Yeah, I'll just go with the Headset (mic and headphones) set I have at home.  Platronics for tha win!
[01:19] <tcarter> random832: yeah i just set them up but i figure out how to manuver btw the two. since there on seperate xwindows (suposssedly) i thought i could use ctrl alt f7 and f8
[01:19] <Random832> are they separate displays :0 and :1, or just separate screens :0.0 and :0.1?
[01:19] <actionparsnip> Rolsworth: assuming you use the firefox browser...
[01:20] <tcarter> seperate display....0 and1
[01:20] <naderman> hey, so sound stopped working for me earlier today (no idea why) so I decided to properly install pulseaudio (using kde) and then upgraded finally to 9.10, all my soundcard outputs is some crackling though, anybody have any ideas why?
[01:20] <naderman> I've obviously gone through google and tried some of the various suggested settings for pulseaudio, none of which seem to work
[01:21] <actionparsnip> Naderman: tried pulling the volume levels down to about 80%
[01:21] <naderman> actionparsnip: yes, but I'll do it again
[01:21] <actionparsnip> Naderman: killall pulseaudio; rm -rf $HOME/.pulse*
[01:22] <tcarter> random832: when i check it tells me they are set as absolute not right of and left of....i saved it as r of and l of
[01:22] <actionparsnip> Naderman: then press alt+f2 and type: pulseaudio
[01:22] <actionparsnip> Naderman: good place to start with sound issues
[01:23] <naderman> actionparsnip: still just crackling
[01:23] <kevalmighty> .
[01:23] <actionparsnip> Bah, that's all I got then
[01:23] <naderman> at any sound level
[01:23] <matt_keys> how do you force a controller to re-scan for hard drives?
[01:24] <actionparsnip> Matt_keys: restart hal maybe
[01:24] <naderman> actionparsnip: hah but I found the configuration tab in pavucontrol
[01:24] <naderman> that solved it
[01:24] <ubuntununuub> hey guys, I have a problem, wondering if theres a quick fix
[01:24] <naderman> great :D
[01:24] <ubuntununuub> google didn't help
[01:25] <naderman> had the wrong output setting there
[01:25] <ubuntununuub> I'm a nub to ubuntu
[01:25] <ThatGuyOverThere> I've got some trouble with my video card. Can anyone help?
[01:25] <ubuntununuub> everytime I go afk for a while, the screen loses color intensity
[01:25] <ubuntununuub> like, I can't read text
[01:25] <ubuntununuub> but it only happens when I go afk for a while
[01:25] <ubuntununuub> and the only thing that fixes it is a restart
[01:25] <chungachanga> !help
[01:26] <ubuntununuub> ok, will reword
[01:26] <chungachanga> i have problem with sound laptop HP hdx9000

[01:26] <ezrafree> hello
[01:26] <ezrafree> anyone know how to use a vga font in gnome-terminal?
[01:26] <actionparsnip_> Ububuntununuub: restart the x server instead, or switch from cli to desktop
[01:26] <ThatGuyOverThere> Anybody? My video card isn't working right. Compiz animations are slow and choppy and so is video playback.
[01:27] <ubuntununuub> I'm a noob to ubuntu, and my problem is that everytime I go afk, the screen loses color intensity or something, and text becomes pretty much impossible to read, and things look really bright. adjusting monitor brightness doesn't help
[01:27] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Which card model is it?
[01:27] <actionparsnip_> Thatguyoverthere: what is the output of: lspci | grep -I vga
[01:27] <actionparsnip_> Oops. grep -I vga
[01:28] <actionparsnip_> Sorry
[01:28] <ThatGuyOverThere> Isn't that the same thing you just typed...?
[01:28] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: lspci|grep VGA
[01:28] <ThatGuyOverThere> Okay.
[01:29] <actionparsnip_> Thatguyoverthere: no, linux is case sensitive so its not the same
[01:29] <soreau> actionparsnip: you typed the same thing
[01:30] <actionparsnip_> Soreau: ah, my phone must be showing it badly then, oh well
[01:30] <capron> My compiz also runs slow and chopy x1050 ati.  I guess buy a new wood be better ?
[01:30] <ThatGuyOverThere> And now I can't get the terminal to start...
[01:30] <ThatGuyOverThere> ...what the deuce...
[01:30] <soreau> capron: Which version of ubuntu?
[01:30] <actionparsnip_> !ati | capron
[01:30] <ThatGuyOverThere> Alright, I'ma try restarting. My computer is acting weird.
[01:30] <actionparsnip_> !terminal | thatguyoverthere
[01:30] <capron> I use 9.10 Karmic
[01:30] <ThatGuyOverThere> Be right back.
[01:31] <soreau> actionparsnip: That is a horrible ati factoid btw. Consider /msg FusioBot ati
[01:31] <capron> ubottu, I will check that
[01:31] <soreau> capron: Which version of ubuntu?
[01:31] <capron> soreau, 9.10
[01:31] <matt_keys> actionparsnip_: this is kinda tricky though, not sure hal would be the best method. i just tried "echo "0 0 0" >/sys/class/scsi_host/host6/scan", but it didn't add the drive in
[01:31] <actionparsnip_> Soreau: i'd change it to ati sucks ;)
[01:32] <mudassarm30> Hello brothers, I just installed ubuntu 9.10, but it hanges before login screen and keyboard mouse stop working, please help
[01:32] <soreau> actionparsnip: The proprietary ati driver sucks. The open driver is much better and is getting better all the time
[01:32] <actionparsnip_> Matt_keys: there's something you gotta do with tee to echo text into files. Not sure what it is
[01:32] <afroman> could anybody help connect my bluetooth headset to my pc with vbox?
[01:33] <dukz> hey, anyone uses virtualization here? I'm setting up one of our server boxes
[01:33] <razertek> actionparsnip, hi
[01:33] <dukz> I have 9.10. KVM or Xen? Suggestions please.
[01:34] <actionparsnip_> Hi razertek
[01:34] <soreau> actionparsnip: That is why I think the ati factoid ubottu has is horrible, because it makes no mention of the open radeon driver
[01:34] <actionparsnip_> Soreau: I use only nvidia or really old intel I know are going to give me zero issues
[01:35] <matt_keys> actionparsnip_ : I've got 4 drives on the first (intel) controller. /boot is sda1, swap is sda2, and / is sda3 on the first drive. the rest of the first and the other 3 drives on the intel controller are raid0 to md0. a 1tb drive is on the second (marvell tech) controller.
[01:35] <ThatGuyOverThere> What was the command again?
[01:35] <soreau> actionparsnip: My point is the ati factoid ubottu knows is horrible. It should be updated to mention the open driver at least. Im not saying any card is better than others
[01:35] <matt_keys> actionparsnip_ : if I try to boot with the 1tb drive plugged in, it never makes it past grub
[01:36] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: lspci|grep VGA
[01:36] <afroman> could anybody help connect my bluetooth headset to my pc with vbox?
[01:36] <actionparsnip_> Thatguyoverthere: lspci | grep VGA
[01:36] <ThatGuyOverThere> Oh my god!
[01:36] <matt_keys> actionparsnip_ : boot cd doesn't work either. so I hot plugged it (it's been wiped anyway) to see if I could mount it
[01:36] <ThatGuyOverThere> My terminal is still not starting!
[01:37] <ThatGuyOverThere> Can anyone think of a reason I wouldn't be able to start a terminal?
[01:37] <actionparsnip_> Matt_keys: boot to live cd and make sure all the UIDs are right for each partition in etc/fstab on the internal partition
[01:37] <razertek> actionparsnip would you suggest i upgrade to lucid alpha2 from 9.10 if all i am doing is studying for my lpic1
[01:38] <actionparsnip_> Thatguyoverthere: press alt+f2 type: gnome-terminal then press enter
[01:38] <sece> #ircnet
[01:38] <matt_keys> actionparsnip_ : confused? it boots if I remove the 1tb drive
[01:38] <actionparsnip_> !lucid | razertek
[01:38] <ThatGuyOverThere> actionparsnip_: Still no good.
[01:38] <actionparsnip_> Matt_keys: check your grub and fstab settings
[01:39] <ThatGuyOverThere> Everytime I hit the launcher, it says "starting terminal" in the taskbar, but then it never starts.
[01:39] <matt_keys> is there a way to tell grub to ignore a controller?
[01:39] <matt_keys> so that at least bios will see the drive and pass that along to the kernel
[01:39] <actionparsnip_> Thatguyoverthere: killall gnome-terminal
[01:39] <jimisrvrox1> hey guys if anybody has a minute I would appreciate some help with my wireless card Ive done iw and if config and its showing not managed.
[01:39] <ThatGuyOverThere> actionparsnip_: Won't that stop my X server?
[01:39] <mudassarm30> keyboard mouse doesn't work after installing 9.10 please help
[01:39] <krel> hi!  /part
[01:39] <actionparsnip_> Thatguyoverthere: then try running a terminal
[01:39] <krel> err, wrong window, sorry :(
[01:40] <soreau> ! tty | ThatGuyOverThere
[01:40] <actionparsnip_> Thatguyoverthere, no. Terminal is only a terminal app. It is not the x server
[01:40] <ThatGuyOverThere> I know.
[01:40] <jimisrvrox1> #linuxhelp
[01:40] <ThatGuyOverThere> I just didn't remember how to start it.
[01:41] <actionparsnip_> Jimisvrox1: run: sudo lshw -C network
[01:41] <arand> matt_keys: is it not so that it tries to boot from the 1tb drive when it is plugged in? And there is no bootloader on the 1tb drive?
[01:41] <actionparsnip_> jimisrvrox1: websearch for the product line
[01:41] <ThatGuyOverThere> Okay, I did killall gnome-terminal. Now what?
[01:41] <mudassarm30> somebody please help regarding keyboard/mouse issue in Ubuntu 9.10
[01:42] <actionparsnip_> Thatguyoverthere: alt+f2 and type gnome-terminal then press enter
[01:42] <arand> mudassarm30: detail issue, if anyone knows they'll answer.
[01:43] <ThatGuyOverThere> actionparsnip_: Still nothing.
[01:43] <mudassarm30> I installed Ubuntu 9.10 and keyboard / mouse are not working on the login screen .... even I can't see the login screen as well
[01:44] <actionparsnip_> Thatguyoverthere: strange. Try installing guake and use that instead
[01:44] <vaporub> if I add a startup script from an application... say /etc/init.d/mywebapp... do i need to run 'update-rc.d mywebapp defaults' for it to work on startup and shutdown?
[01:44] <jimisrvrox1> actionparsnip RT2500
[01:44] <ratbox_> mudassarm30: maybe that's 'cause Ubuntu 9.10 all the way back to 8.10 have been garbage?
[01:45] <blakkheim> burn
[01:45] <actionparsnip_> Jimisvrox1: ok that's the chip which is what you need to know. Now find guides on how to set it up
[01:45] <vaporub> or should I manually symlink the script to a runlevel?
[01:45] <afroman> how do I get my "sound preferences" back?
[01:46] <ThatGuyOverThere> Alright, terminal finally working. That command again?
[01:46] <almostsix> I'm trying to get openssh-server to run on my desktop (xubuntu 9.10), and I get this message, which I don't understand: "sshd re-exec requires execution with an absolute path." What does this mean?
[01:46] <blakkheim> almostsix: run /usr/sbin/sshd
[01:47] <ratbox_> Ubuntu Hardy and Gutsy have been AWSOME to me and all my hardware... I'm building Ac!D Linux to fix what bugs Hardy has and are left by the Ubuntu devs.  It bugs me how they leave stuff broken all the *** time.
[01:47] <ThatGuyOverThere> actionparsnip_: My terminal is finally working. What was the command?
[01:47] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: lspci|grep VGA
[01:47] <ubuntununuub> btw, anyone here have an android phone?
[01:47] <actionparsnip_> Thanks soreau
[01:47] <ubuntununuub> because I saw someone was working on getting android apps to run natively on ubuntu
[01:48] <actionparsnip_> Ubuntununuub: using it now
[01:48] <ubuntununuub> looked fairly amazing
[01:48] <ubuntununuub> <3 droid
[01:48] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[01:49] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Which version of ubuntu?
[01:49] <ThatGuyOverThere> Karmic
[01:49] <almostsix> blakkheim: Ah, okay, that makes sense. Now I get this error though: could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
[01:49] <ubuntununuub> I just hope that someone manages to hack the ipad to run android. ipad hardware + android 2.1 would be so sick
[01:49] <Speculater> Can I get Ubuntu on my iPhone? :-p
[01:49] <blakkheim> almostsix: sounds like you need to find a tutorial on how to setup an ssh server :/
[01:49] <vaporub> almostsix: did you try this link http://ipucu.enderunix.org/view.php?id=1879&lang=en
[01:49] <soreau> I dont know exactly which card that is but I wouldnt expect too much out of it
[01:49] <jimisrvrox1> actionparsnip its been a while since I set up a wireless card. Forgot all kinds of commands but I remmeber there being like 2 or so versions of the RT2500
[01:50] <mudassarm30> please solve my keyboard/mouse problem with Ubuntu 9.10, otherwise tell me some better distro, I have installed it 10 times but no use
[01:50] <blakkheim> !ssh > almostsix
[01:50] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Karmic.
[01:50] <charles__> can anyone point me in the direction of a Winamp-like media player? i'm less concerned with things liek skins and a lot MORE concerned with things like display information (i like being able to see the bitrate and things like that). mostly what i want to make sure of is a good, functional playlist display
[01:50] <actionparsnip_> Jimisvrox1: copy the product line and use it in websearches. You will hit gold
[01:50] <blakkheim> charles__: mpd + ncmpcpp
[01:50] <vaporub> almostsix: but actually just running 'aptitude install openssh-server' should set you up
[01:51] <actionparsnip_> !winamp | charles__
[01:51] <sn00kie> I'm trying to build a livecd using remastersys from my parallels install.  Problem is my video resolution on the livecd is terrible.  It doesn't autoadapt to the video card like the regular install cd, anyone know why or can point me in the right direction?
[01:51] <jimisrvrox1> actionparsnip_: what really sucks is Ive taken a linux course at school but I figure it takes a few years of using the cli to really memorize it pretty good..
[01:51] <ubuntununuub> no you know what would be fucking sick
[01:51] <ThatGuyOverThere> charles__: Never used Winamp, but Songbird is excellent and it probably has an extension for what you want.
[01:51] <charles__> i know winamp is for windows... hence "winamp-like"
[01:51] <ubuntununuub> if the ipad had swype keypoard
[01:51] <actionparsnip_> Charles__: banshee and amarok are pretty sweet too
[01:52] <ThatGuyOverThere> charles__: Definitely the best media player I've ever used for Linux. I've tried Banshee and Amarok and quite frankly thought they were weak.
[01:52] <chungachanga> hp hdx9000 anyone knows how to solve sound problem?
[01:52] <charles__> i need to write these down and sort through them to see which one works for me.. thanks fo r the suggestions guys :)
[01:52] <mudassarm30> anyone know the solution for mouse/keyboard problem in Ubuntu 9.10 ???
[01:52] <actionparsnip_> Jimisvrox1: best way to learn cli is to use it
[01:52] <chungachanga> no sound and driver is ok
[01:52] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Still there?
[01:52] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: I wouldnt really know what to expect performance wise from that chipset, but typically, I dont expect much performance from laptops in general
[01:53] <ThatGuyOverThere> Well, I know it's going to kinda suck, being an integrated card.
[01:53] <ThatGuyOverThere> But what makes me suspicious is that I get significantly worse performance with it using Ubuntu than with Windows.
[01:53] <ThatGuyOverThere> Which leads me to think it's a driver issue or something.
[01:53] <almostsix> Oh, duh. Solution to sshd problem: sudo. Thanks for the pointers though
[01:54] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: The only thing you can do is try the next version of ubuntu to see if things have improved, or ask in #intel-gfx. Also, make sure you arent running intense compiz effects like transparent cube, for example
[01:54] <actionparsnip_> ThatGuyOverThere: throw the output into websearch engines. You will find guides
[01:54] <Diastro> hi everyone!
[01:55] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: If I remember correctly, I had trouble playing HD video even with Compiz disabled... which I know my card is capable of because I can do it in Windows.
[01:55] <Diastro> I'm new, I'm looking for a place to get some tip on Ubuntu.... Got the basic running but now for the more challenging I need a bit help
[01:55] <PeterT> is this the most active channel on freenode?
[01:55] <sn00kie> I'm trying to build a livecd using remastersys from my parallels install.  Problem is my video resolution on the livecd is terrible.  It doesn't autoadapt to the video card like the regular install cd, anyone know why or can point me in the right direction?
[01:56] <ratbox_> right now? yes this is the most active channel, PeterT
[01:56] <Jeruvy> Diastro: this is a support channel, just ask you questions if anyone knows they'll respond.
[01:57] <actionparsnip_> Snookie: you will need to install / configure the driver in the livecd
[01:57] <linusoleander> Is there any way in ubuntu to get metadata from ASF files?
[01:57] <sn00kie> actionparsnip_: you know how?  Which driver?  What does the Livecd do to autedetect and does it have a copy of all the drivers?
[01:57] <actionparsnip_> ThatGuyOverThere: you need better settings for your display. What windows does or doesn't do is moot
[01:58] <actionparsnip_> Sn00kie: run: sudo lshw -C display
[01:58] <ThatGuyOverThere> actionparsnip: I'm just saying that's what leads me to believe it's not just that the graphics card sucks (which it does, but I'm still thinking I should be able to get some better performance).
[01:58] <actionparsnip_> Sn00kie: use the output to find guides
[01:58] <sn00kie> actionparsnip_: from the livecd?
[01:58] <uorygl_> Is it possible to make the characters a with macron and o with macron using the compose key?
[01:58] <actionparsnip_> Sn00kie: sure
[01:58] <ThatGuyOverThere> actionparsnip_: How do you mean with the display settings?
[01:59] <linusoleander> any one?
[01:59] <uorygl_> I can do ē, ī and ū, but not a and o; it makes ª and º or ã and õ when I try.
[01:59] <jon> hello
[01:59] <actionparsnip_> ThatGuyOverThere: paste the line outputted into seach engines and you will find guodes and / or bug reports
[02:00] <Dreamglider> how should i go about making harddisk images for multiple identical laptop's ? i need them all to be the same (School laptops)
[02:00] <sn00kie> Dreamglider: remastersys
[02:00] <ThatGuyOverThere> actionparsnip_: Alright, I take back what I said. Videos played more smoothly using Metacity instead of Compiz.
[02:00] <actionparsnip_> Dreamglider: partimage is one option
[02:01] <sn00kie> dreamglider: by far the easiest solution
[02:01] <CVD-PR> hey there
[02:01] <ThatGuyOverThere> actionparsnip_: Any way I can boost Compiz's resource efficiency...? I really can't stand Metacity.
[02:01] <charles__> okay, audacious it is... thanks again, folks :)
[02:01] <Dreamglider> is remastersys free ?
[02:01] <Dreamglider> is remastersys opensource ? *
[02:01] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: One thing you can do is increase the shared video ram
[02:01] <sn00kie> dreamglider: yes, one sec, I have a good reference for you
[02:01] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Like how?
[02:01] <aphedox> I can't get my sound to work correctly. I can hear the output faintly but it is overcome by extemely loud varying static noise. I just did a fresh install of 9.10 x64 and updated everything but my problem persisted. I have Intel HD Audio ALC889A. Works fine on Windows, and surprisingly on Haiku, despite the fact that its HD Audio drivers are extremely immature. I messed around with my previous ubuntu install a bit and removed pulse
[02:01] <aphedox> audio but I don't think that that was the problem. Any ideas?
[02:02] <actionparsnip_> ThatGuyOverThere: cut down the plugins drastically. I personally think com.piz is garbage. You can also ask in #compiz
[02:02] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Like very carefully :)
[02:02] <CVD-PR> Dreamglider, whats the difference
[02:02] <sn00kie> dreamglider: http://www.techradar.com/news/software/operating-systems/10-scripts-to-create-your-own-linux-distribution-665247
[02:02] <sn00kie> dreamglider: that was on dig the other day, pretty good rundown
[02:02] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Very funny. How do I do that?
[02:02] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Is this a hardware issue?
[02:02] <sn00kie> dreamglider: *digg
[02:02] <actionparsnip_> ThatGuyOverThere: i'd see if there are any guides for your chip to make it run better
[02:02] <soreau> actionparsnip_: Please do not say compiz is garbage. That is not true and also wreckless
[02:02] <Dreamglider> sn00kie: thanks i'll read up on that.
[02:02] <g0tcha> anyone can help me install my tv tuner?
[02:02] <sn00kie> dreamglider: no prob
[02:03] <actionparsnip_> Sn00kie: partimage will enable a ghost-like install method which is way easier than running an installer on each system
[02:03] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Intel gpus share your system ram, so you can tell it how much to allocate to the card
[02:03] <actionparsnip_> Soreau: I'm expressing an opinion which is fine and dandy
[02:03] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Your x log should tell you how much it is using by default
[02:03] <hiexpo> good evening everyone
[02:04] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: 'Splain. I don't know enough to be able to do that. Can you give me a step by step?
[02:04] <soreau> actionparsnip_: Im just asking for you not to say compiz is garbage. That offends me
[02:04] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Or give me a link to a guide? I'm not a novice with Linux but I'm also not super savvy.
[02:04] <sn00kie> actionparsnip_: good point
[02:04] <actionparsnip_> Soreau: didn't mean to offend you dude
[02:04] <wooshu> i need to find a extremely trustworthy, capable, and credible person who works at canonical.
[02:05] <actionparsnip_> !ot | Wooshu
[02:05] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Actually, you would have to look up the right option to set in xorg.conf. Perhaps man intel will tell you
[02:05] <kaddi> hi, I'm running kubuntu but noone in their channel seems to no about sound. I updated today and rebooted to install the latest kernel and no I have no more sound. What can I try to fix this?
[02:05] <kaddi> *know
[02:06] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: man intel? Is that a terminal command?
[02:06] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Yes
[02:06] <wooshu> actionparsnip_, are you a ubuntu endorsed staff ?
[02:06] <actionparsnip_> Soreau: funny how some systems still need xorg.conf yet ubuntu doesn't give a skeleton file to flesh out
[02:06] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: I believe it should open the intel driver manual and show you xorg.conf options available for it
[02:06] <kellopes> I need help to fix my wifi problem. I have a Atheros AR5001 that is not being recognized by ubuntu..
[02:06] <actionparsnip_> Wooshu: I'm not even an op. Do you have an ubuntu support uestion?
[02:06] <soreau> actionparsnip_: *shrug*
[02:06] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Thanks.
[02:06] <jason_> I'm running Lucid Lynx and having trouble with my mouse being inverted.  Can anyone give me a hand?
[02:07] <blakkheim> !lucid > jason_
[02:07] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: You can create a default xorg.conf file with Xorg -configure
[02:07] <blakkheim> kellopes: atheros chipsets work flawlessly in linux for me
[02:07] <hiexpo> jason_, - is that on a fresh install
[02:07] <blakkheim> kellopes: which module are you using for it?
[02:07] <actionparsnip_> Kellopes: same chip works out of the box here
[02:08] <hiexpo> jason_, - or was you messing around and got that?
[02:08] <actionparsnip_> Kellopes: its the reason I buy them
[02:08] <kellopes> blakkheim, actionparsnip_ guys.. it just doenst work for me..
[02:08] <soreau> kellopes: What do you mean not recognized?
[02:08] <actionparsnip_> Kellopes: are you fully updated?
[02:09] <blakkheim> kellopes: you didn't answer my question, how do you expect to get any help?
[02:09] <kellopes> soreau: i had windows move to linux and now i cant use my wifi
[02:09] <ThatGuyOverThere> sorea: Says in the manual it'll allocate 24MB by default if the system RAM is more than 192 MB.
[02:09] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: It seems to me that would definitely affect graphics performance. :)
[02:09] <kellopes> blakkheim: i will
[02:09] <hiexpo> jason if you want help you have to answer
[02:09] <soreau> kellopes: You need to elaborate. What is the output of:  lsmod|grep ath
[02:09] <sn00kie> actionparsnip_: looks like lshw -C display only gives me info about my current hardware.  I'm really looking to make my personal live cd adapt to the graphics card of the host system, similar to the ubuntu live disk
[02:10] <actionparsnip_> ThatGuyOverThere: I think there's an option to make it 'greedy' may help
[02:10] <kaddi> where could I get help for sound issues?
[02:10] <kellopes> blakkheim: i am new at linux how do i see the module?
[02:10] <hiexpo> kaddi, - whats wrong
[02:10] <actionparsnip_> Sn00kie: well now you know the display chip, you can websearch to find guides
[02:10] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Hey, now you might be getting somewhere. Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see how much it is actually allocating
[02:10] <Xgates> what is the repo url for Karmic to get vlc? This is what I have ---> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ - Karmic - multiverse it's saying 404 not found
[02:11] <hunt> Hi, I want to install linux, mac os x and windows on one machine, I want to have one partition with my media files, which can be accessed by all operating systems, what file system should I use? NTFS? Fat?
[02:11] <blakkheim> kellopes: lsmod
[02:11] <actionparsnip_> Xgates: there's one by korn. Search for: vlc ppa
[02:11] <soreau> kellopes: This will tell you which module if any is loaded->  lsmod|grep ath
[02:11] <blakkheim> hunt: ntfs if you have any one file bigger than 4gb
[02:11] <sn00kie> actionparsnip_: Sorry, I think I'm not being clear.  The machine will change from system to system.  I would like the live cd to at least give me a decent resolution because my current solution with remastersys assumes the display of the machine I made the cd on
[02:11] <actionparsnip_> Hunt: i'd use ntfs
[02:11] <Xgates> actionparsnip_: I want the one from Karmic ---> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=vlc&searchon=names&suite=karmic&section=all
[02:12] <kellopes> soreau: your command doesnt give a output in my computer
[02:12] <actionparsnip_> Xgates: are you running karmic?
[02:12] <hiexpo> triple partion your asking for it
[02:12] <soreau> kellopes: Ok, pastebin the output of lspci|grep -i ath
[02:12] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Assuming I can figure out how to allocate more memory, what would be a high enough amount without affecting my CPU speed?
[02:12] <hunt> Thanks
[02:12] <blakkheim> soreau: thats the wrong command
[02:12] <Xgates> actionparsnip_: actually I'm on Mint and want to put in the karmic universe repo, do you know the URL to use?
[02:13] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: I mean without DRASTICALLY affecting my CPU speed, obviously.
[02:13] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: You would have to experiment, I have no idea. Probably depends on your available system ram
[02:13] <sn00kie> actionparsnip_: In other words, I'm taking this live cd on a new system, and the livecd only has the driver of the system I crafted the disk on.  I want it to act like the ubuntu live cd where it doesn't care what driver is installed for xorg, and figures it out on the fly.
[02:13] <actionparsnip_> !mint | xgates
[02:13] <soreau> blakkheim: He already said lsmod|grep ath showed no output, so I want to make sure at least lspci shows the card before instructing him to load the module
[02:13] <Xgates> actionparsnip_: simple question do you KNOW the Karmic Universe Repo URL? yes or no?
[02:13] <actionparsnip_> Sn00kie: then install the driver but don't configure xorg.conf and it should be fine
[02:14] <actionparsnip_> Xgates: no
[02:14] <blakkheim> soreau: makes sense, ignore what i said then
[02:14] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: I've got 4 GB RAM.
[02:14] <Xgates> ok that's all I wanted to know... ;p
[02:14] <w3b4> memoria not 1g
[02:14] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: But I will experiment.
[02:14] <soreau> kellopes: Please show the output of lspci|grep -i ath
[02:14] <actionparsnip_> Xgates: I wouldn't mix mint with karmic, you'll get a mess
[02:14] <sn00kie> actionparsnip_: you mean just remove my xorg.conf ?
[02:14] <w3b4> apenas 27 reais
[02:14] <actionparsnip_> Xgates: your distribution isn't supported here
[02:14] <kellopes> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m614578d8
[02:14] <kellopes> soreau, blakkheim: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m614578d8
[02:15] <gerrin> just did an update and now my laptop wont connect to my wireless network
[02:15] <Xgates> actionparsnip_: sorry you don't know what you're talking about Mint Helena Uses Karmic all Mint versions USE the Ubuntu repos :)
[02:15] <gerrin> any ideas on how i can fix that
[02:15] <od3n> does anyone know how to get mp4 clips to play on ubuntu
[02:15] <soreau> kellopes: Ok, now do sudo modprobe ath5k
[02:15] <Xgates> anyhow, I'm not a noob just wanted to ask a simple question without a lecture on Linux :)
[02:15] <actionparsnip_> Sn00kie: just rename it, karmic and later do not need it unless you need special settings
[02:15] <sexcells> ubuntu sucks lmao
[02:15] <Khodok> Hi guys, I need some help here... I need to have abrowser and firefox at the same time, but they can't be installed together. What can be done with it?
[02:16] <actionparsnip_> Xgates: your distro still isn't supported here. Mint has its own channel
[02:16] <sn00kie> actionparsnip_: I'm terribly sorry, I'm not following
[02:16] <kellopes> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m300eed6f
[02:16] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: I'm looking at Xorg.0.log here. Where might it tell me how much memory it's allocating?
[02:16] <coldcog> sn00kie: what are you trying to do?
[02:16] <Xgates> actionparsnip_: I'm not asking for support I'm asking for the Karmic Universe repo URL
[02:16] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: If you want to pastebin it I could look I guess.. it can be somewhat cryptic
[02:16] <kellopes> soreau: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m300eed6f
[02:17] <blakkheim> kellopes: paste the output of ifconfig -a
[02:17] <kellopes> soreau: while we were talking my wireless conection showed here..
[02:17] <soreau> kellopes: Ah, where did you get the output from which command?
[02:17] <Xgates> can someone be kind enough to look at their repo URLS and give me the Karmic Universe repo url?
[02:17] <actionparsnip_> Xgates: this channel is support ONLY. Ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:17] <ekristen> I have always been a big fan of ubuntu but I am about to jump ship ... does xorg on ubuntu just ignore changes made to the xorg.conf file? ubuntu refused to recognize my monitor and then when I go and add in the modes manually it never gives those to me as an option to switch to, only 800x600 and 640x480, this is getting a little annoying, and apparently xorg will run without an xorg.conf in /etc/X11?? wtf
[02:17] <kellopes> soreau: i appreciate your help.. but i need to go now..
[02:17] <ekristen> or am I just missing something
[02:17] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Y'know what, I'll see what Google can turn up first and then get back to you if I need help. Thanks.
[02:17] <kellopes> can i talk to you tomorrow?
[02:17] <sn00kie> coldog: I have a ubuntu installation on my disk that I'm trying to use remastersys with.  I got through everything fine.  The only problem is, when I boot the image on another machine, the X server is all messed up.  My question is, what can I do to make my 'custom live cd' act like the 'ubuntu live cd' and adapt to any video card in the system (even loading compiz if supported)
[02:17] <kellopes> soreau: can i talk to you tomorrow?
[02:17] <soreau> kellopes: Maybe, just ping me
[02:18] <blizzow> I have to do some legacy testing  on an edgy box and need a package, but can't find any edgy archives.  Anyone know of a working edgy mirror?
[02:18] <kellopes> soreau: how do i ping you
[02:18] <sn00kie> coldog: right now it's assuming the video card in the system I created the disk on
[02:18] <actionparsnip_> Sn00kie: hopefully udev and hal will detect the hardware and use the right driver
[02:18] <coldcog> ekristen: you mean it doesnt have the res you want?
[02:18] <Khodok> Guys, please help me with that firefox issue! :)
[02:18] <ekristen> coldcog: yes
[02:18] <blakkheim> !please | Khodok
[02:18] <gerrin> just did an update to version 9.10, now cant connect to my wireless network, how can i fix it
[02:18] <coldcog> ekristen: have you edited an xorg before? or used HAL?
[02:19] <norzb> does anyone know why a dvd burner would only burn at 0.2x
[02:19] <sn00kie> coldog: it isn't the resolution is stuck at some small resolution and there is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11
[02:19] <capron> Khodok, uppdate firefox problem solved :-)
[02:19] <CVD-PR> how to if my ubuntu is 32 or 64 bit?
[02:19] <ekristen> I have a lot of experience editing xorg.conf on redhat, centos, freebsd systems
[02:19] <ekristen> xorg is usually xorg ;)
[02:19] <iAmerikan> CVD-PR, uname -a
[02:19] <actionparsnip_> Ekristen: you will need to run: lspci | grep VGA
[02:19] <sn00kie> coldog: I should mention the machine this is being made on is a parallels machine
[02:19] <soreau> kellopes: Just type my nick like you are doing now
[02:19] <blakkheim> CVD-PR: uname -m
[02:19] <coldcog> sn00kie: so you dont have an xorg.conf?
[02:19] <soreau> oh well
[02:19] <sn00kie> coldog: no not after booting into my custom live cd
[02:20] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: yup, got it
[02:20] <actionparsnip_> ekristen: you will see your video chip and you can find guides
[02:20] <coldcog> ekristen: you probly know more about it than me then :p
[02:20] <Khodok> capron, the thing is that abrowser & firefox packages conflict with each other, can I tell them to ignore each other?
[02:20] <CVD-PR> i686
[02:20] <actionparsnip_> Ekristen: if its nvidia based then: gksu jockey-gtk will offer you a driver
[02:20] <blakkheim> CVD-PR: 32bit then
[02:20] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: This guide I'm looking at here says I can increase the allocation from the BIOS. Would that work?
[02:20] <ekristen> it is nvidia based
[02:21] <Khodok> capron, I used icecat instead of abrowser, but it got ruined with version 3.6 and doesn't work
[02:21] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: the monitor is hooked up via a kvm, before it was hooked up via kvm and directly to the system it worked fine
[02:21] <CVD-PR> blacksun,  if it was 64, how it showit
[02:21] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Not sure how to explain the better video performance in Windows if it's a BIOS issue... but then I guess Windows wasn't runnig Compiz either...?
[02:21] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: AFAIK, you need to tell X through xorg.conf
[02:21] <ekristen> now it is giving me issues
[02:21] <robtow> HOw can I find the source for the zd1211 driver used in Ubuntu 9.04?
[02:21] <actionparsnip_> Ekristen: great. Nvidia love linux
[02:21] <capron> Khodok I think you have too choose what too run.
[02:21] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: definitely
[02:21] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Okay. I'll keep looking.
[02:22] <actionparsnip_> Ekristen: run: gksu nvidia-settings
[02:22] <norzb> does anyone know why a dvd burner would max out at only 0.2x
[02:22] <DaZ> nvidia drivers aren't too good actualy
[02:22] <actionparsnip_> ekristen: setup the display and click Write to X config file
[02:22] <DaZ> but at least work.
[02:22] <arand> ThatGuyOverThere: Hmm, are you running 32bit?
[02:23] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: I get nothing
[02:23] <ekristen> the command runs
[02:23] <DMJC> Daz if by work you mean constantly lock up
[02:23] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: You see in the man page where it talks about the VideoRam Option?
[02:23] <ekristen> prompted for password
[02:23] <CVD-PR> when 32bit gonna die
[02:23] <ekristen> then returned to prompt
[02:23] <blakkheim> CVD-PR: never!
[02:23] <actionparsnip_> Ekristen: run it in terminal: do you get any errors'
[02:23] <ekristen> no
[02:23] <DMJC> if ATi runs less stuff but runs 100% of the time
[02:23] <DMJC> then ATi is better than nvidia
[02:23] <ThatGuyOverThere> I didn't get that far, to tell you the truth. :) I'll check it out.
[02:24] <DaZ> DMJC: mine run just fine.
[02:24] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: You see in the man page where it talks about the VideoRam Option?
[02:24] <DMJC> which runs a lot of stuff but only 30% of the time
[02:24] <u19809> guys when Istart a console and run 'set' i see MANY functions in the environment of bash ... what are they doing there ?
[02:24] <DMJC> I keep getting freezing in games
[02:24] <DMJC> and it's all GPU related
[02:24] <DMJC> happenned on two gpus as well
[02:24] <actionparsnip_> ekristen: use 1 monitor direct connected and use the gksu nvidia-settings
[02:24] <nick_h> why might running "synclient TouchpadOff=1" not change the value of TouchpadOff? before and after running that, "synclient -l" says TouchpadOff=2
[02:24] <gerrin> new to ubuntu, do i need an antivirus software like I would if i were using windows
[02:24] <DMJC> gerrin: no
[02:24] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: 1 monitor via kvm
[02:24] <B3rz3rk3r> gerrin, no
[02:24] <ekristen> dsub connection
[02:24] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: This means you would put something the following in the Device section of your xorg.conf:  Option "VideoRam" "128"
[02:25] <DaZ> gerrin: you don't need it yet and there isn't anything good anyway.
[02:25] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: For example
[02:25] <norzb> does anyone know why a dvd burner will only burn at 200 kb/s
[02:25] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Okay. Thanks.
[02:25] <actionparsnip_> ekristen: whatever makes it work, write the settings to the x config file then reboot with everything hooked up right. Might help
[02:25] <coldcog> gerrin: you can get it though, but mostly to protect windows machines you may be networked with
[02:25] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: gotcha I will give it a shot, everything worked great before switching to the kvm
[02:25] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: so I don't have much faith
[02:25] <actionparsnip_> Norzb: check it is using dma
[02:26] <blakkheim> gerrin: not unless you are running a mailserver
[02:26] <gerrin> ok another question, is there anyway i can get windows based programs to work on unbuntu
[02:26] <gerrin> no im not
[02:26] <blakkheim> !wine > gerrin
[02:26] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: it appears ubuntu doesn't want to honor what is written in the xorg.conf file
[02:26] <arand> nick_h: I'm not sure if the gconf-key /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/off might overrride? (Just a guess)
[02:26] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: and it says this option is now ignored for 830 and later chips :P
[02:26] <actionparsnip_> ekristen: not something I've used tbh
[02:26] <norzb> actionparsnip_: where would I check that
[02:26] <DaZ> gerrin: wine or virtual machine
[02:26] <actionparsnip_> Ekristen: it will if the file exists
[02:26] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: How do I know if I have such a chip?
[02:26] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: I have even deleted the xorg.conf and restarted gdm and xorg starts find without an xorg.conf or without generating a default one
[02:26] <actionparsnip_> Norzb: sudo hdparm /dev/sr0
[02:27] <actionparsnip_> Oops
[02:27] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: well seeming how 9.10 installer won't see my hard drive, but the previous version does, and now the xorg issues I am loosing faith in ubuntu
[02:27] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: So is your main problem video playback? If so, which player and vo method are you using for the player?
[02:27] <actionparsnip_> Norz : sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sr0
[02:28] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: thanks for the help, I will mess this crap some more, I will probably be back later
[02:28] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Video playback is the main problem, yes. Graphics also look jagged in Compiz and are sometimes choppy.
[02:28] <actionparsnip_> Ekristen: can always use hardy if it worked for you. Its still very supported
[02:28] <razertek> ekristen: are you having trouble with a harddrive not being recognized?
[02:28] <dane> im new to irc what are some popular interesting channels
[02:28] <norzb> actionparsnip_:inapproriate ioctl for device
[02:28] <nick_h> arand: i'm using kubuntu, actually
[02:28] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: But as I said, I just tried switching to Metacity a couple minutes ago and did actually get much better video performance.
[02:29] <actionparsnip_> Norzb: I'm gonna hit the hay. Look into checking its using dma. You may need a firmware upgrade (risky)
[02:29] <sontek> How do I figure out whatapplication is listening on a port
[02:29] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: What about part b of my question?
[02:29] <razertek> actionparsnip_: are you pretty good with smb.conf?
[02:29] <nick_h> arand: ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/%gconf.xml exists. would it be used in KDE, though?
[02:29] <DMJC> metacity has a tendancy to lock up
[02:30] <actionparsnip_> Razertek: somewhat
[02:30] <sontek> netstat -a shows i'm listening on that port, but I want to figure out what app is doing the listening
[02:30] <norzb> actionparsnip_: everywhere some tell me to get the firmware but no one tels me where to get it
[02:30] <actionparsnip_> Norzb: sudo lshw -C disk
[02:30] <arand> nick_h: I don't think so, I don't know much/anything about kde stuff.
[02:30] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Seems like a moot point to me... If I get better graphics performance with Metacity than with Compiz, I'm betting it's just a matter of not having enough video ram.
[02:30] <razertek> actionparsnip_: is the network manager intended to work with samba and smb.conf or do i need to add eth0 to interface file
[02:31] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: But to answer your question, it does this with any video player.
[02:31] <actionparsnip_> Norzb: will tell you the exact model. Get the firmware for that exact model
[02:31] <mudassarm30> how to downgrade the ubuntu 9.10 kernal so that mouse/keyboard freeze problem may be solved while booting
[02:31] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: That includes streaming video, i.e. YouTube.
[02:31] <norzb> actionparsnip_: it didnt show anything
[02:31] <actionparsnip_> Razertek: network manager is nothing to do with smb.conf
[02:31] <actionparsnip_> Norzb: give it time
[02:31] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Try this for a test: mplayer -zoom -vo xv /path/to/your/video.ext
[02:32] <tutuca> hi
[02:32] <actionparsnip_> Razertek: network manager handles networks and network settings. Smb.conf manages samba shares and samba settings
[02:32] <g0_> Hi, Is it possible to delete and unmount extended partitions without losing all your data, and having to create a new partition table? When I book into the live cd, the extended directory is still locked and I cant merge the space into other ext4 partitions
[02:33] <actionparsnip_> Mudassarm30: select the older kernel from grub
[02:33] <afroman> hello. how do I get back the "sound preferences"? I lost it
[02:33] <razertek> actionparsnip_: but if i add eth0 to interface file then i have manually configured the networking which will allow the smb.conf to work properly...but the thing is i want to use network manager which you can only do one or the other (interface file)
[02:33] <norzb> actionparsnip_: it went through a list of interfaces and then brought me back to control i already ran it twice
[02:33] <tutuca> anyone having troubles getting on msn with empathy, there has been a couple of days since it started throwing "network error"
[02:33] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: That seems like it might be better.
[02:34] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: But to get Compiz effects to work better I'm still going to need more video RAM allocation, no?
[02:34] <afroman> how do I get back the "sound preferences"? I lost it
[02:35] <morphix> razertek: you still need eth0 configured somewhat in /etc/network/interfaces
[02:35] <actionparsnip_> Razertek: if you add an eth0 entry to interfaces it will not be managable by network manager. Weather you use interfaces or network manager has no bearing on smb.conf
[02:35] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: It is not hard and fast guarantee compiz will absolutely run better if you increase the shared video ram
[02:35] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: But wouldn't that make video performance better in general?
[02:36] <faultyground> Hey all.  Hope everyone is having a good evening.  I have a (hopefully simple) question regarding accessing windows documents folders from ubuntu.  Im unable to find anything in the "Documents and Settings" folder.  Help?
[02:36] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: but it is worth a try. Id start by using the VideoRam option, which incidentally the man page says the values are in kb I believe then make sure the option is actually being used and not ignored, by checking your X log
[02:36] <razertek> actionparsnip_: how is that?...morphix: i am using lo in interfaces...the default setup
[02:36] <norzb> actionparsnip_: can I use the model number from newegg where i purchased it
[02:36] <morphix> the default setup still has 1 or 2 lines for eth0
[02:37] <actionparsnip_> Norzb: if it is sufficient and gets you where you need to go then sure
[02:37] <norzb> actionparsnip_:ok and then wat google that
[02:37] <Veggie> anybody know i can play this live-radio without using webbrowser?  http://corusmedia.media.streamtheworld.com/player/Player.htm?id=cknwam&city=Vancouver&bdskey=&url=http://www.cknw.com&platform=EMMISAM&active=true
[02:37] <actionparsnip_> Razertek: all you need is the loopback device in there. The rest can be configured with networkmanager/wicd/whatever
[02:38] <razertek> morphix: auto lo iface lo inet loopback is all that is in there
[02:38] <morphix> razertek: enter this in /etc/network/interfaces which i currently have setup
[02:38] <morphix> auto eth0
[02:38] <morphix> iface eth0 inet manual
[02:38] <morphix> thats it
[02:38] <FloodBot3> morphix: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:38] <actionparsnip_> Norzb: i'd use a conjunction of both to make searches better. Try a few search engines too
[02:38] <soreau> Veggie: Many players can play audio streams. Have you tried totem?
[02:38] <morphix> wait
[02:38] <morphix> remove the "iface eth0 inet manual"
[02:38] <morphix> just have "auto eth0"
[02:39] <razertek> morphix: 1 min
[02:39] <Veggie> soreau  yes i know: but what do i put as  streamURL
[02:39] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Can't find my xorg.conf file. Where is it for Karmic?
[02:39] <morphix> once you've added "auto eth0" then log out and log back in
 ThatGuyOverThere: You can create a default xorg.conf file with Xorg -configure
[02:40] <razertek> morphix: http://pastebin.com/m4de4f941
[02:40] <g0tcha> so is there anyway to install a tv tuner in ubuntu or is it just a waste?
[02:40] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Open drivers dont need a conf file since X is good enough at guessing what you need mostly
[02:40] <nomnex> Open Office 3.1. question. Do I need Java if I run Base as a front end with postgresql?
[02:40] <morphix> razertek: thats samba
[02:40] <CAPcap> can someone walk me though downgrading wine 1.1.37 back to 1.1.36?
[02:41] <razertek> morphix: if i add auto eth0 to interfaces then that means i have configured network manually and cannot use network manager which is not what i want
[02:41] <morphix> razertek: NO
[02:41] <morphix> if you just add auto eth0 WITHOUT any other lines
[02:41] <morphix> it works with network manager
[02:41] <morphix> i have that setup right now
[02:41] <morphix> and it is working with network manager
[02:42] <CVD-PR> how can i search for a package snaptic on the terminal
[02:42] <minimec> g0tcha: http://www.linuxtv.org/
[02:42] <Guest53339> I can anyone help me find backtrack repository for ubuntu 9.10 64bit thank
[02:42] <Veggie> anybody know i can play this live-radio without using webbrowser?  http://corusmedia.media.streamtheworld.com/player/Player.htm?id=cknwam&city=Vancouver&bdskey=&url=http://www.cknw.com&platform=EMMISAM&active=true
[02:42] <razertek> morphix: should i keep the lo lines in there too and just add auto eth0?
[02:42] <morphix> yes
[02:42] <razertek> k one sec
[02:42] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Are you saying I don't already have an xorg.conf file?
[02:42] <dane> whois razertek
[02:43] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: No, quite the opposite
 ThatGuyOverThere: You can create a default xorg.conf file with Xorg -configure
[02:43] <razertek> dane:  me
[02:43] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Why do I have to create a default one? Why can't I just edit the one I've got?
[02:43] <norzb> actionparsnip_: could i use the windows firmware?
[02:43] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Because you dont have one
 ThatGuyOverThere: Open drivers dont need a conf file since X is good enough at guessing what you need mostly
[02:44] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: How do you know...?
[02:44] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Okay.
[02:44] <istvan> hey, i'm having trouble installing grub (has error on boot) but all of the guides online end up in some error, can someone help me please?
[02:45] <error404notfound> is there an easy way to redirect *.domain.com to say <IP_ADDRESS> instead of public IP?
[02:46] <razertek> morphix: it says when i do a networking restart ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0
[02:46] <g0tcha> minimec, even if the drivers are not installed, it should show if i type ls /dev/ | grep video , right?
[02:46] <DaZ> error404notfound: /etc/hosts? :f
[02:46] <morphix> razertek: your device IS eth0 correct?
[02:46] <error404notfound> DaZ, do i have to add 25 entries to 3 systems? :P
[02:46] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Alright, running Xorg -configure gives me "Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0."
[02:46] <axisys> any idea why this rc.local does not run during reboot? http://pastebin.com/d6111e5f9
[02:46] <razertek> morphix: yes
[02:46] <morphix> try rebooting
[02:47] <minimec> g0tcha: Probably not. /dev/videoX is only registred, when the driver was loaded correctly.
[02:47] <Guest53339> plz help me find backtrack repos fot ubuntu 9.10
[02:47] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: ok, hang on
[02:47] <blakkheim> Guest53339: this is not the place for that
[02:47] <g0tcha> minimec, its an unboard composite tv tuner, how can i know which drivers it would need?
[02:47] <Coachj> does anyone know if 8000 frames every 5 sec is a decent rate for my ati 9000 card?
[02:47] <Alan502> Please i need urgent help!!! My kde(i'm using kubuntu) freaked out after logging in with fluxbox. After logging of fluxbox i chose kde again but now it's black with the mouse as the only thing visible!
[02:48] <CAPcap> can someone walk me though downgrading wine 1.1.37 back to 1.1.36?
[02:48] <razertek> morphix: k brb
[02:48] <blakkheim> CAPcap: uninstall it, dl the source of that version, compile it
[02:48] <CAPcap> ...
[02:48] <istvan> help with grub?
[02:48] <Alan502> CAPcap: there might also be a .deb for that version
[02:49] <DaZ> Coachj: glxgears is not a benchmark [;
[02:49] <jiohdi> Alan502: chose gnome or something else, create a new account and then start that with kde... erase the old account
[02:49] <CAPcap> i think there is on launchpad i just dont know what to do
[02:49] <CAPcap> do I have to uninstall it?
[02:49] <minimec> g0tcha: try to use the commands 'lspci' and 'lsusb' to list all pci and usb devices. Then use 'dmesg and scroll through the messages to find any errors for the device.
[02:49] <blakkheim> CAPcap: yes
[02:49] <Coachj> Daz: what should i use?
[02:49] <CAPcap> crapples.
[02:49] <Alan502> jiohdi: my install is kubuntu originally so i don't have any other wm
[02:49] <CAPcap> ok thanks you guys
[02:50] <jiohdi> Alan502: you can go to a terminal in recovery if necessary and apt-get install gnome
[02:50] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Does it make one if you do? sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[02:50] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Well I guess X cant be running when you issue this command for whatever reason
[02:50] <Coachj> DaZ: what should i use?
[02:50] <DaZ> Coachj: who knows
[02:50] <Alan502> jiohdi: this happened exactly yesterday, but "killall kwin; kwin --replace" helped for a bit. I had to reboot but now it doesn't :(
[02:50] <DaZ> Coachj: doom,quake,unreal? {;
[02:51] <Yoha> help pls - tried installing 9.10 to a usb key drive but did not click on advanced button and now have grub on hdd not usb drive. how to restore vista boot loader and install grub to keydrive so it can work in more than one pc???
[02:51] <trism> CAPcap: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html
[02:51] <DaZ> always better.
[02:51] <razertek> morphix: same thing
[02:51] <Alan502> jiohdi: i want my kde back :( gnome will also take loong to download with my internet connection
[02:51] <CAPcap> trism what is that?
[02:51] <Coachj> DaZ: it will barley run Urban Terror
[02:51] <pilif12p> I cant fing the right package for libpcap
[02:51] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: So...
[02:51] <trism> CAPcap: the archive of all the old deb versions
[02:51] <CAPcap> oh nevermind i see
[02:51] <pilif12p> what is it?
[02:51] <jiohdi> Alan502: you might try apt-get kde4
[02:51] <morphix> what the?
[02:51] <CAPcap> thank you very much trism
[02:51] <morphix> what does network manager say?
[02:51] <jiohdi> apt-get install kde4 that is
[02:52] <Alan502> jiohdi: will that download all the kde packages?
[02:52] <razertek> morphix: shows i am connected as usual
[02:52] <jiohdi> Alan502: only if its broken, otherwise it will tell you that everything is ok
[02:53] <Alan502> jiohdi: oh shit, how heavy is it?
[02:53] <scotty^> Hi all
[02:53] <jiohdi> Alan502: how heavy is what?
[02:53] <Alan502> jiohdi: i mean how big is it
[02:53] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: What do I do, then...?
[02:53] <jiohdi> Alan502: dont know
[02:53] <scotty^> I'm trying to help a couple of people in launchpad bug 509652
[02:53] <Alan502> jiohdi: kde4 how big ist?
[02:53] <razertek> morphix: in the edit connections it says under last used...never
[02:54] <jaredmccorkindal> can anyone explain what "failed to mount windows share" means?
[02:54] <jiohdi> Alan502: dont know... its very big for dial up
[02:54] <morphix> razertek: does it atleast list eth0?
[02:54] <Alan502> jiohdi: "couldn't find package kde4"
[02:54] <razertek> yes
[02:54] <jiohdi> jaredmccorkindal: it means your windows partition is not accessible
[02:54] <Alan502> jiohdi: mine is slower than dial up :(
[02:54] <scotty^> Have the full-bleed printing settings changed between Jaunty and Karmic?
[02:54] <morphix> are you able to click 'edit' on it?
[02:54] <jiohdi> Alan502: try kde
[02:54] <jaredmccorkindal> jiohdi: what can I do to make it accessible
[02:55] <razertek> morphix:  yes
[02:55] <morphix> go to edit
[02:55] <morphix> and then up the top is "connect automatically"
[02:55] <jiohdi> jaredmccorkindal: sorry, noob here, dont know enough to assist
[02:55] <razertek> k
[02:55] <Alan502> jiohdi: you, that are lucky to have you GUI working, could you look in your synaptic how is it exactly named please =]
[02:55] <jaredmccorkindal> same here
[02:55] <nox9_> ktos z pl??
[02:55] <razertek> morphix: it is already selected
[02:55] <Alan502> and by the way, does anyone have any other idea FIXING MY KDE?
[02:55] <jiohdi> Alan502: one moment :)
[02:56] <uorygl_> I'm using a laptop; I notice that there's no battery indicator in the upper right corner among the other indicators. I seem to remember the battery being strangely absent from /proc or /var, or something.
[02:56] <DaZ> Alan502: move ~/.kde and see if anything changes
[02:56] <DaZ> Alan502: and pastebin ~/.xsession-errors
[02:56] <g0tcha> minimec, this is my dmesg http://pastebin.com/m319edd6c
[02:57] <Alan502> DaZ: i'm on irssi :(
[02:57] <Diastro> Hey guys, I installed compiz setting manager, when I change so of its options under Unbuntu 9.1 nothing happens, am I missing something?
[02:57] <DaZ> Alan502: so? :f
[02:57] <Alan502> DaZ: how do i "move" ~/.kde?
[02:57] <DaZ> Alan502: mv?
[02:57] <gbear14275> what is the command to list the groups on my computer and the command to add a user to a group?

[02:59] <jiohdi> Alan502: when you type ~/.kde its the same as /home/user/.kde
[02:59] <gbear14275> this error message make sense to anyone?  I know its a permission problem but am leary to add users to groups at random until I find the issue
[02:59] <gbear14275> http://paste.ubuntu.com/364282/
[02:59] <uorygl_> Alan502: I think you would find it useful to know how to suspend a process, run some other commands, and then resume the process.

[03:00] <Dr_Willis> Guest94358:  web cam working and 'flash' working with a web cam are 2 very different problem,s.
[03:00] <Dr_Willis> Guest94358:  does it work with Cheese?
[03:01] <Alan502> uorygl_: how so?
[03:01] <Guest94358> its built into my laptop
[03:01] <uorygl_> Alan502: well, you would be able to leave irssi, run a command, and then come back to it.
[03:01] <gbear14275> scotty^: in regard to that error? or just to add users to groups...

[03:02] <uorygl_> Alan502: I don't know if it's possible to stop irssi from one terminal and resume it in another.
[03:02] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Still there?

[03:03] <scotty^> Just to add users - the error looks like something to do with virtualisation - are you running in a virtualised environment?
[03:04] <tiger2wander> Hi all
[03:04] <gbear14275> scotty^: trying to get virt-manager running.  Am attempting to create a vm using a lvm disk for storage
[03:04] <tiger2wander> Please tell me how to install python urllib module on Ubuntu 9.10?
[03:05] <scotty^> gbear14275: OK.  Sorry, I have no idea about that.
[03:05] <IdleOne> !find  urllib
[03:07] <root> Hey
[03:07] <DaZ> hi root.
[03:07] <Guest78113> register gifted<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[03:08] <gbear14275> any virt ninjas out there
[03:08] <IdleOne> tiger2wander: python-m2crypto I believe is what you want
[03:08] <dean4watch> yeah
[03:08] <gbear14275> dean4watch: seen this before by chance?http://paste.ubuntu.com/364282/
[03:09] <dean4watch> what does it contain?
[03:09] <g0tcha> minimec, hmm i dont think its reconizing the right one.. because i have the graphic card which has dvi+hdmi out and has s-video in.. and in the front is another card that uses composite, thats what i want to use
[03:09] <gbear14275> thats the error message I run into when I try and create a new VM with lvm storage
[03:10] <Alan502> DaZ, uorygl_ jiohdi  okay, so i moved .kde and rebooted. Now i have kde with default config :D but all the panels are on my second screen, not on my primary screen althought nvidia-settings are correct.
[03:10] <g0tcha> cuz ive tried with both video0 and vbi0 and they both dont work
[03:10] <gbear14275> dean4watch: I know it has to do with insufficient permissions... but don't know how to resolve it
[03:10] <chungachanga> have problem, my sound not working, ubuntu has problem with my sound card rv630/m76 radeon hd2600
[03:10] <jiohdi> Alan502: sorry, beyond my knowledge
[03:10] <david__> Does anyone know how to install Compiz proprelY? I tryed, but My compiz setting isnt simply having no effects...
[03:11] <jesse2> Hello.  I primarily use gnome, but when i load up KDE, my screenlets (which i use in gnome) still auto load on KDE.  is there a way i can have them autoload on gnome but not kde?
[03:11]  * JCC_Starguy is digging on ubuntu on my old HP laptop and on my PS3!
[03:11] <david__> JCC_Starguy, : Doing the same :P
[03:11] <gerrin> just installed a windows program using wine, but now having problems running said programming , any hints?
[03:11] <chungachanga> have problem, my sound not working, ubuntu has problem with my sound card rv630/m76 radeon hd2600
[03:11] <jiohdi> jesse2: what are screenlets?
[03:11] <jimisrvrox> hey guys I am trying to get my wireless card working on 9.04 rt2500 and I went through tyring to set it up via cli and am stuck when I try dhclient and end up with NODHCP offers received if somebody can help I would appreciate it thank you
[03:11] <JCC_Starguy> gerrin, depends on the application. Which one?
[03:11] <tiger2wander> IdleOne, I have search package using apt-cache command and installed it but script still through error "ImportError: No module named request"
[03:12] <tiger2wander> while I'm trying to use: "import urllib.request, urllib.error"
[03:12] <gerrin> its the Grand Theft Auto: Vice CIty Game
[03:12] <jesse2> jiohdi: screenlets are little apps that are on your desktop
[03:13] <jesse2> like clock calendar, etc.  similar to what kde and windows have
[03:13] <JCC_Starguy> gerrin, not every Windows prog will run on Wine. Have you looked at www.winehq.org?
[03:13] <gerrin> no, but i will
[03:13] <jiohdi> jesse2: since I am new and dont know all the ins and outs, if I wanted to do what you want to do, I would just create another account for the kde
[03:13] <chungachanga> have problem, my sound not working, ubuntu has problem with my sound card rv630/m76 radeon hd2600
[03:14] <jesse2> jiohdi: thanks... but im gonna see if there is another fix.  by the way, here is the screenlets website: http://www.screenlets.org
[03:14] <jesse2> try it, you might like it
[03:14] <JCC_Starguy> gerrin, the applications page will tell you if it will work or not and often someone will post how they got something to work.
[03:14] <dean4watch> simply don't use KDE4 - it's sucks.

[03:15] <JCC_Starguy> happyface0: a little. Why?
[03:15] <tiger2wander> IdleOne, :(
[03:15] <un214> happyface0: yeah, too much in hunting strange performance problems that finally went away when we leveled vmware and reloaded on bare metal
[03:16] <IdleOne> tiger2wander: try asking in #python perhaps

[03:17] <chungachanga> have problem, my sound not working, ubuntu has problem with my sound card rv630/m76 radeon hd2600
[03:17] <JCC_Starguy> Gerrin, I found your game GTA:VC on the apps DB page on the Wine site. It's rated as platinum so you should be able to get it to run.
[03:17] <DaZ> plasma was annoying few releases ago
[03:17] <DaZ> now it's pretty usable [;
[03:17] <RiotingPacifist> Im playing with a custom kernel, all the devices are spotted in dmesg, but there is not /dev/sd*, any idea what im missing?
[03:17] <Zer> Something I've been wondering for a while: Is there any reason, any reason at all not to delete the built-in users gnats, irc, mail, list, blah blah, as well as about half of the built-in groups?
[03:18] <ouyes> !ati
[03:18] <RiotingPacifist> btw how on earth can i read logs from busybox, i ended up greping by time, because i cant scroll up/down the screen
[03:19] <obscurant1st> is there any way for installing firefox 3.6 in karmic using the apt-get?
[03:19] <obscurant1st> i dont want the pre release version.
[03:19] <jesse2> obscurant1st: good question... i dont think they made a package yet
[03:20] <obscurant1st> whatever i try the firefox 3.6.1 pre is getting installed
[03:20] <ouyes> hi, i am using 9.10 and 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series [1002:95c4], which driver should i use ?
[03:20] <obscurant1st> oh jesse2: thx for the info?
[03:20] <scotty^> Firefox 3.6 is in the repos for Lucid
[03:20] <jesse2> haha no prob :-P sorry
[03:20] <obscurant1st> so its always late like this?
[03:20] <jesse2> scotty^: whats the lucid repos?
[03:20] <idgfhH> Hey, has anyone else noticed Ubuntu being exceedingly slow?
[03:21] <obscurant1st> idgfhH: no, its not slow
[03:21] <obscurant1st> for me its fatser than win7.
[03:21] <RiotingPacifist> obscurant1st: are you on 64bit ?
[03:21] <Stefan91> serbia
[03:21] <IdleOne> !lucid | jesse2
[03:21] <Stefan91> serbia
[03:21] <scotty^> If you install Lucid (or run it from a live CD), you can update to Firefox 3.6 easily
[03:21] <JCC_Starguy> idg: I've never had one bit of trouble with Ubuntu.
[03:21] <Stefan91> serbia
[03:21] <jesse2> ah, i see :-D
[03:21] <idgfhH> obscurant1st: it seizes up if I try to run anything alongside firefox
[03:21] <Stefan91> serbia
[03:21] <FloodBot3> Stefan91: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:21] <IdleOne> Stefan91: stop!
[03:21] <obscurant1st> RiotingPacifist, my proc is 64 bit but ubuntu is 32 only..
[03:21] <jesse2> What program can i use to have applications load as soon as i start gnome?
[03:22] <idgfhH> jesse2: System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications ?
[03:22] <JCC_Starguy> I have jaunty as a 64 bit version.
[03:22] <jesse2> danke
[03:22] <idgfhH> bitte
[03:22] <ouyes> i want to play video games under linux so i need the OPENGL support, which driver should i use?
[03:22] <RiotingPacifist> obscurant1st: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ubuntuzilla/index.php?title=Main_Page, there may be other ways but i've heard good things from 32bit users for ubuntuzilla
[03:23] <obscurant1st> idgfhH, I am using Karmic, its just awesome.
[03:23] <RiotingPacifist> ouyes: what graphics card do you have
[03:23] <obscurant1st> Iam loving it.
[03:23] <obscurant1st> RiotingPacifist, let me try it..
[03:23] <obscurant1st> thx for the link
[03:23] <obscurant1st> :SD
[03:23] <scotty^> ubottu: I've been using the Lucid alpha 2 live CD for several weeks now.  It's pretty stable, although updating mesa and installing flashplugin at every boot is a bit annoying.
[03:23] <idgfhH> obscurant1st: also using Karmic. 512MB ram, but Debian Lenny runs perfectly
[03:23] <ouyes> RiotingPacifist, VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series [1002:95c4]
[03:23] <JCC_Starguy> Wow! It's busy here. And someone tried to tell me that IRC was dead. :)
[03:24] <idgfhH> only have ~2.5 GB free, would that be a problem ?
[03:24] <ouyes> RiotingPacifist,  a thinkpad t400 laptop
[03:24] <RiotingPacifist> ouyes: for gaming, for now, you will have to use !flgrx (the closed driver)
[03:24] <happyface0> un214: JCC_Starguy: I have a multi-partition setup but I run vmware to boot into my other partitions. But I'm having trouble booting into windows 7 from my ubuntu partition (BSOD on load)
[03:24] <RiotingPacifist> !ati | ouyes
[03:24] <IdleOne> scotty^: but it is still alpha, Works for you does not mean  will work for everyone. and lucid is offtopic for this channel
[03:24] <un214> happyface0: I lose
[03:25] <obscurant1st> idgfhH, my ram is 2GB, maybe thats the reason
[03:25] <obscurant1st> :0
[03:25] <idgfhH> obscurant1st: heh
[03:25] <ouyes> RiotingPacifist,  i know that !ati , but i am worried if flgrx works ok in 9.10?
[03:25] <happyface0> un214: :D no problem don't worry about it
[03:25] <JCC_Starguy> happyface0 I don't have enough experience with vmware to help you there. I can only do basic setups.
[03:25] <blakkheim> don't buy from ati - enemy of your freedom
[03:25] <JCC_Starguy> Sorry.
[03:25] <happyface0> thanks anyway JCC_Starguy
[03:26] <idgfhH> it takes almost an entire minute to open the terminal
[03:26] <idgfhH> ;-;
[03:26] <RiotingPacifist> ouyes: try it, the open drivers that come by default are fine for everyday use but cant do 3d yet, if the closed drivers crash there is little anybody can do to fix it
[03:27] <blakkheim> idgfhH: ;_;
[03:27] <scotty^> Thanks IdleOne - just out of interest, if Lucid is offtopic for this channel, which channel should I go to if I need support for Lucid?
[03:27] <blakkheim> !lucid
[03:27] <IdleOne> scotty^: #ubuntu+1
[03:27] <JCC_Starguy> BTW, which IRC client are most of you using?
[03:27] <RiotingPacifist> idgfhH: I've run ubuntu on less than 512 without problems, make sure compiz is turned off
[03:27] <blakkheim> JCC_Starguy: irssi
[03:27] <idgfhH> RiotingPacifist: it is
[03:27] <Zer> Anyone know if the GIDs in /etc/group are hardcoded to functionality? Or is it linked to the group name?
[03:27] <RiotingPacifist> idgfhH: is all your ram being used by something?
[03:27] <sijmen> how do i delete swapfile
[03:28] <RiotingPacifist> sijmen: ubuntu doesn't use a swapfile
[03:28] <Zer> That is to say, for any permissions that might require having one of them as a secondary group, do they depend on the ID of the group?
[03:28] <RiotingPacifist> !swap | sijmen
[03:28] <Zer> (I don't mean on the filesystem)
[03:28] <ouyes> RiotingPacifist,  i do not want to take that risk, my system maybe crash by using th fglrx
[03:28] <obscurant1st> RiotingPacifist, if ubuntu dont use swap, them my swap space is just a waste  right?
[03:28] <obscurant1st> i can delete it or what?
[03:28] <sijmen> on my netbook
[03:29] <RiotingPacifist> ouyes: its a risk, AFAIK the latest ATI drivers are fairly good, but when running them there is always a risk it will crash
[03:29] <scotty^> ouyes: If you want to use the open-source ati driver (not radeonhd) for gaming you will get significantly better results with an unreleased 2.6.33 kernel and mesa 7.8 - see the Phoronix forums for some good reports and for assistance.
[03:29] <sijmen> dont want swap have lots of mem
[03:29] <Stefan91> srbin
[03:29] <Stefan91> srbin
[03:29] <idgfhH> RiotingPacifist: apparently Firefox is using 90%+ CPU o_O
[03:29] <Srbin> de ste dojke jebo vas drug denis :)
[03:30] <blakkheim> idgfhH: flash?
[03:30]  * JCC_Starguy is sleepy and needs to work early tomorrow.  D:
[03:31] <RiotingPacifist> obscurant1st: ubuntu uses a swap partition, if your never use any it is best to keep it around because otherwise as soon as you run out of memory ubuntu will start killing programs
[03:31] <obscurant1st> idgfhH: which version of firefox are you using?
[03:31] <blakkheim> !englishh
[03:31] <blakkheim> !english
[03:32] <RiotingPacifist> idgfhH: does it do that on a blank page
[03:32] <Adragon> hi
[03:32] <Stefan91> Adragon .!.
[03:32] <Stefan91> Adragon .!.
[03:32] <obscurant1st> RiotingPacifist: oh.. :(
[03:32] <Adragon> ,,,
[03:32] <idgfhH> blakkheim: hah, disabling flash in Tools -> Addons -> Plugins dropped Firefox down to > 10%
[03:32] <blakkheim> !ops | Stefan91
[03:32] <idgfhH> err, < 10%
[03:32] <Adragon> why does everyone shout "Adragon" whenever they see me?
[03:33] <rww> Adragon!
[03:33] <obscurant1st> RiotingPacifist: lv ya, that firefox 3.6 update worked like a charm..
[03:33] <Adragon> what
[03:33] <Stefan91> Adragon .!.
[03:33] <obscurant1st> i was searching for it form many days..
[03:33] <obscurant1st> :D
[03:33] <obscurant1st> thx
[03:33] <scotty^> ouyes - fglrx Catalyst will work with 9.10 if you use the specially-provided (by ATI) prerelease version included with 9.10.  It should also work as of Catalyst 10.1, released yesterday.
[03:33] <Stefan91> Adragon .!.
[03:33] <Stefan91> Adragon .!.
[03:33] <Flannel> Stefan91: Stop
[03:33] <RiotingPacifist> obscurant1st: if you really need the space you can reduce the swap partitions size or even move to a small swapfile, but it's always best to have atleast some swap (if your sure you never use it, 128M should be enough unless you want to hibernate)
[03:33] <Adragon> WHAT DO YOU WANT
[03:33] <Stefan91> Adragon .!.
[03:34] <scotty^> blakkheim - I think he's already got the ATI HD3400
[03:34] <Alan502> Adragon .!.
[03:34] <Adragon> WHAT
[03:34] <obscurant1st> RiotingPacifist: i will reduce it, now i hv given almost double the size of my memory, its almost 4GB, i thnk i ll gv 1 Gb for swap.
[03:34] <obscurant1st> :d
[03:34] <Adragon> what the hell do people want from me?
[03:35] <RiotingPacifist> obscurant1st: think of it as backup ram for when your ram gets full, if there is not enough bad stuff happens, but most of the time it will sit unused
[03:35] <scotty^> blakkheim:  Thanks for the !lucid tip.
[03:35] <Adragon> im using Xubuntu
[03:35] <Alan502> Adragon .!.
[03:35] <obscurant1st> RiotingPacifist: ok thx for the info..
[03:35] <Adragon> SHUT THE HELL UP ALAN
[03:35] <RiotingPacifist> obscurant1st: if you want to hibernate you need ~1.1x ram, 4GB is excessive though so i'd definetly cut it to ~2.2
[03:35] <Alan502> LMAO
[03:36] <scotty^> IdleOne: Thanks for the #ubuntu+1 info.  Good name, that.
[03:36] <jiohdi> anyone know why UNR has a server mis-match for ubuntu one?
[03:36] <Alan502> hahaha xD
[03:36] <obscurant1st> ok..
[03:36]  * scotty^ is using Empathy - not really liking it
[03:36] <Alan502> do you have something we can help you in Aragon ?
[03:36] <Adragon> um yes
[03:36] <Alan502> !ask
[03:36] <funkyHat> AAaarrgghhh!!! Adragon!!
[03:36] <Adragon> !how the hell do i install Java on Xubuntu
[03:36] <ouyes> scotty^, but my kernel is 2.6.31-14-generic, so what suggestion do you have ?
[03:37] <Adragon> !how the hell do i install Java on Xubuntu
[03:37] <RiotingPacifist> !java | Adragon
[03:37] <Alan502> Empathy is still missing
[03:37] <afroman> how do I get "system-->preferences--> sound" back? (there is nothing wrong in the system---> pref---> main menu)
[03:39] <pbink> anyone have a good guide to install the latest ati driver for the HD4870 on 9.1? tried three so far and they've all failed...sh'ing the run directly fails, as does trying to build a deb package outta it
[03:40] <blakkheim> pbink: step 1- buy nvidia
[03:40] <pbink> blakkheim, nice
[03:42] <Adragon> question
[03:42] <Adragon> is there a chat jannel
[03:42] <Adragon> *channel
[03:42] <scotty^> OK, according to the Catalyst 9.10 release notes, they have not added support for Ubuntu 9.10.  They have only added support for RedFlag DT6.0 SP3 and SLED and SLES 10SP3.
[03:42] <afroman> pbink: there's something in the new Xorg that isn't compatible with the ati catalyst, unless they have fixed it. what I recommand is to use the ati open source driver
[03:43] <pbink> afroman, i will try that...any experience with DRI's?
[03:45] <afroman> pbink: i'm a newbie, so I'm not that good. besides I was just happy to see images again :)
[03:46] <afroman> pbink: I also have less tearing now.
[03:46] <pbink> afroman, so which open source driver did you go with?
[03:48] <jack> hello
[03:48] <afroman> pbink: as I said, I'm a newbie, so I installed all 3. then tried each one until I was closest to the best pic
[03:48] <scotty^> ouyes - If your kernel in 2.6.31-14-generic the first thing you should do is run Update Manager from the System menu.
[03:48] <pbink> afroman, gotcha
[03:49] <afroman> pbink: but if U have an hd, I should recommend radeonhd
[03:50] <LucidGuy> Looking for a solution in keeping all my ubuntu workstations in sync when it comes to packages installed and versions.  Are there apps out there that can do this for me?
[03:50] <afroman> how do I get "system-->preferences--> sound" back? (there is nothing wrong in the system---> pref---> main menu)
[03:50] <scotty^> Sorry, I meant Catalyst 10.1
[03:51] <afroman> pbink: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[03:51] <scotty^> afroman - It's the 2.6.31 kernel that Catalyst doesn't support yet.
[03:51] <FiReSTaRT> !iso
[03:51] <GoogleMcYahoo> i have a windows 7/ubuntu dual boot that i just installed but when i boot into ubuntu it doesn't detect my wireless network
[03:51] <FiReSTaRT> !isos
[03:52] <GoogleMcYahoo> i am assuming i have to configure this but how do i do this?
[03:52] <pbink> afroman, awesome, i'll check that out
[03:52] <FiReSTaRT> !torrent
[03:52] <ouyes> i remember there is an ADD/Remove tools to and and remove softwares, but in 9.10 it is gone, and software center instead of it
[03:52] <kinja-sheep> GoogleMcYahoo: For starters, find out what you need -- "sudo lshw -c network"
[03:52] <FiReSTaRT> ooops.. where do i get the ubuntu torrent seeds?
[03:52] <blakkheim> ouyes: man aptitude
[03:53] <ouyes> blakkheim,  i do not know what are you talking about, i want to use that old tool ADD/REMOVE
[03:53] <afroman> scotty^: it worked with 2.6.31-14 & 16
[03:54] <blakkheim> ouyes: read the manual page of aptitude instead, it is far more useful
[03:54] <kinja-sheep> blakkheim: He want to use GUI to click, click, click things.
[03:54] <[[thufir]]> how do tell whether a package is installed?  aptitude -? foo
[03:54] <hmg> hi. i have a file which is executable (did chmod +x filename), but when typing ./filename i get: bash: ./filename: No such file or directory
[03:54] <blakkheim> kinja-sheep: then maybe windows or mac os x is a better option for him :)
[03:55] <hmg> i can run other files with ./ just not this one!
[03:55] <hmg> :S
[03:55] <macius> hey im using a macbook pro, and realized the trackpad is functions completely under ubuntu 9.10? im wondering what drivers are being used to accomplish this, dont have the os installed on my mac anymore although im using slackware 13 and its completely unresponsive
[03:55] <afroman> pbink: here some good info http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI
[03:55] <blakkheim> hmg: what about "sh filename"
[03:55] <hmg> filename: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
[03:56] <pbink> afroman, roger, i'll check that out as well...right now i'm stuck on getting my virtualbox'd install to recognize the card at all :/
[03:56] <roachmmflhyr> [[thufir]],  at the cli type: apt-get remove <first few letters of packagename> then hit tab tab tab if it pops up then its installed
[03:56] <blakkheim> hmg: then it's the file that is the problem
[03:56] <kinja-sheep> [[thufir]]: aptitude search <xyzPackage>     i = installed ; p = purge
[03:56] <macius> if anyone is using macbook pro, can you lsmod | grep synaptic or usbhid and tell me if those modules are loaded? cause i seem to be missing them and unable to load them
[03:56] <afroman> how do I get sound preferences back?
[03:56] <afroman> anyone?
[03:56] <ouyes> blakkheim, what you are trying to say? the manual will solve my issue?
[03:56] <h00k> macius: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro
[03:56] <hmg> but, how can i see it, yet it doesn't exist (according to the terminal)
[03:56] <hmg> o_O
[03:56] <blakkheim> ouyes: i'm saying learning to use aptitude to manage software is a better choice than some add/remove programs thing
[03:57] <blakkheim> hmg: it exists, but it looks like there is an error in it
[03:57] <hmg> hm
[03:57] <macius> h00k: lol you dont understand how long i was staring at the ubuntu forums :P probably 7 hours all thoughter with no luck since ubuntu is very accepting of mac out of the box
[03:57] <kinja-sheep> ouyes: Use Software Center or Sypathetic (sp?)
[03:57] <rumpsy> all of sudden desktop effects not working for me ! , but it was working before
[03:57] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, are you in the correct directory
[03:57] <[[thufir]]> is the firefox plugin at http://www.alibaba.com/ a security problem, or ok to install the chat plugin?
[03:57] <roachmmflhyr> rumpsy, turn them back on
[03:57] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: yes
[03:57] <neil_d> does the Leadtek vc100xp work under ubuntu?
[03:57] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: it even do auto complete when pressing [TAB]
[03:57] <ouyes> blakkheim,  i know how to add and remove a software but i need an old tool make things simply
[03:58] <roachmmflhyr> rumpsy, or hit ctrl alt backspace
[03:58] <blakkheim> ouyes: aptitude is simple
[03:58] <navin> Hi, how can I reset the Firefox and delete all the temp files in Ubuntu?
[03:58] <rumpsy> roachmmflhyr: i tried, both of that option.
[03:58] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, what are the permissions on it?
[03:58] <blakkheim> navin: mv ~/.mozilla /tmp/mozillabackup
[03:58] <h00k> macius: did that help you at all?
[03:58] <h00k> macius: that link/
[03:58] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: -rwxr-xr-x
[03:58] <ouyes> blakkheim,  if you know the name of the software you can use aptitude but if you do not ?
[03:58] <rumpsy> navin: Are you sure, do you like that?
[03:58] <blakkheim> ouyes: aptitude search $string
[03:58] <navin> blakkheim may I know what is the use of this command?
[03:59] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: i tried setting chmod 777 filename too
[03:59] <blakkheim> navin: it moves your mozilla directory (with all settings) to a backup, next time you restart firefox it will be totally reset
[03:59] <rumpsy> navin, what version of ff you have?
[03:59] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, strange.... try to temporarily chmod 777 <filename> then try to ./filename just for giggles
[03:59] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, ahh sorry i was too slow
[03:59] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, what file is it?
[04:00] <ouyes> blakkheim, you completely have no idea what to install after a fresh installation , forget it ,
[04:00] <blakkheim> ouyes: actually i do
[04:00] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, is it a file from the apt channels?
[04:00] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: its name is nwserver, and it's a neverwinter nights server downloaded from http://nwn.bioware.com/downloads/standaloneserver.html (the official website)
[04:01] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, is there a md5 checksum on the site? if so did you check it? did you try to re-download the file?
[04:02] <Guest07843> Hi!  Anybody use amavisd-new on ubuntu(-server)?
[04:02] <ouyes> hmg, after downloading you have to verify the file and use md5 check tool to check it
[04:02] <macius> h00k: i was looking aat those exact pages quite a bit before so i cant say it did :( with ubuntu touchpad works out of the box so it doesnt explain the config process to much
[04:02] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: doesn't seem to be any checksum stuff. hmm. all the files were inside an archive
[04:02] <navin> blakkhein where do i have to tye that command?
[04:02] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: could this happen even though inside a zip?
[04:02] <h00k> macius: what exactly are you looking to config
[04:03] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: i'll try downloading it again. never seen anything like this :S
[04:03] <macius> h00k: touchpad, certain drivers are loaded liek bcm5974 and i wrote my xorg to understad synaptic, alot the event is not found and synaptic not beign loaded
[04:03] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, hmm not sure very large zip file though... :( may not be debian compatible
[04:04] <navin> rumpsy I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and mozilla 3.5
[04:04] <roachmmflhyr> hmg,  at the command line type     file <filename> what is the output
[04:04] <OzZiE--> hello
[04:04] <macius> h00k: touchpad is completely unresponsive, which i have no idea why :P since it is able to work under ubuntu even on the livecd
[04:04] <bung> what shell would let me type the first letter(s) of a line, and press up to scroll through command history lines that start with that letter(s)
[04:04] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: nwserver: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, not stripped
[04:05] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, what is the output of ./<filename>
[04:05] <h00k> macius: oh, that is interesting, and i have no idea how to help you. :/ Keep plugging away, someone should be able to. I'm sorry.  Also, consider filing a bug on Launchpad
[04:05] <Zer> Could someone explain the purpose of uuidd to me? As far as I can see, (1) it has a user, (2) it isn't even running, and (3) that appears to be unnecessary for uuidgen to function.
[04:05] <OzZiE--> im using an ubuntu live cd on a windows laptop which I would like to backup the harddrive to another xp pc.  Can someone help me please?
[04:05] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: bash: ./nwserver: No such file or directory
[04:06] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, what dist version are you using?
[04:06] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: wait, i think i found something: maybe this will work? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4520125
[04:06] <macius> h00k: haha no worries but ty, honestly this is problem is so unbelievable complicate i wouldnt expect it to be answered in a second here :P , i tried everything up to recompiling my kernel
[04:07] <macius> h00k: one quick question does apt-get offer usbhid? cause it seems the one on my system is corrupt or something :S, since im not able to load it
[04:07] <h00k> macius: can you lsmod on a live instance and then again after installing and compare the two?
[04:07] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: I'm not sure how I check my distro (i'm on my friends server through ssh)
[04:08] <macius> h00k: yeah i think ill try that
[04:08] <jiohdi> macius: use apt-cache search
[04:08] <puff> I have a mythbuntu box.  Currently I have it set to use the LCD screen instead of the s-video out, because I lugged it up from my TV room to work on it.  I now have it working and happy and I want to get it back to using the s-video out.  However, I cannot find my  notes from when I changed it to use the LCD.
[04:08] <h00k> macius: I don't see it, I'm not entirely sure what usbhid does.
[04:08] <OzZiE--> i setup a share in ubuntu but when i use my windows pc to get into the share I get a message "you might not have permissions to use this network resource"
[04:09] <Callum_> puff: what video card does your system use?
[04:09] <puff> Callum_: nvidia.
[04:10] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, cat /etc/lsb-release
[04:10] <Callum_> puff: you can rather easily use 'sudo nvidia-settings' to bring up a graphical interface and change the video outputs without any fuss
[04:10] <puff> Callum_: nv43 geforce 6600.
[04:10] <puff> Cool..
[04:10] <puff> Is there any way to have it enable both the LCD and the TV?
[04:10] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
[04:10] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: whops: DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 9.04"
[04:10] <Callum_> puff: If you are not using SLI, yes
[04:10] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, thats all the info you receive
[04:11] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, 32 or 64 bit?
[04:11] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: there are several lines only one got copied hehe
[04:11] <puff> Callum_: What's SLI?
[04:11] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: doesn't say :/
[04:11] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, what does uname -a say?
[04:11] <Callum_> puff: two video cards in one machine working together
[04:11] <h00k> macius: it does look like I have this in: /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/kernel/drivers/hid/usbhid
[04:11] <h00k> macius: so I suppose it's there already.
[04:12] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: .... x86_64 GNU/Linux
[04:12] <Blue1> I am try to install flash for opera using:  http://www.opera.com/docs/linux/plugins/install/#flash  I get audio but no video on youtube -- suggestions?
[04:13] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, ahh bingo i believe your nw server is a 32 bit specific server
[04:13] <h00k> puff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Link_Interface
[04:13] <h00k> puff: not to eavesdrop
[04:13] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: you think those shared libs won't do it? (did you see the link?)
[04:13] <mboh> mboh
[04:13] <puff> Hook Not at all.
[04:13] <puff> Callum_: Ah, AFAIK, no.  Looking at the nvidia-settings GUI, I would guess I select X Server DisplaConfiguration?
[04:14] <Callum_> h00k: there is no eavesdropping in an IRC channel =)
[04:14] <puff> Callum_:  I'm still upstairs, so the s-video is not plugged into anything  Will I need to have it plugged in before I can detect tit?
[04:14] <Callum_> puff: unfortunately, yes
[04:15] <Callum_> puff: is a VNC server installed on your machine?
[04:15] <slickvic171> sup
[04:15] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, sometimes it will run a 32bit app no prob but sometimes it cant run the correctly some people have had success installing pkg 'ia32-libs' but i dont guarantee anything
[04:15] <puff> Callum_: No, and I can't get net to the t room yet.  Wifi won't reach.  I have to run a cable down there.
[04:15] <puff> Callum_: To the tv room, that is.
[04:15] <h00k> macius: I hope you get things figured out, I have to run
[04:15] <h00k> macius: good luck.
[04:15] <h00k> Peace, all.
[04:15] <ravic> Hi guys! need some help in customizing my gnome-terminal
[04:16] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: ok. thank you very much for your help :) teached me a few useful commands too :)
[04:16] <ravic> i have set to transparent. it shows me my desktop image in background
[04:16] <paulus> i can't get internet through my cable modem on xubuntu (it works fine on my wife's computer).  I can get wireless.  I had entered manual settings for eth0 to connect to the internet at work; how can I be sure I've cleared them all out?
[04:16] <h00k> ravic: that's what it's supposed to do :)
[04:16] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, no problem come back if you have any other questions
[04:16] <blakkheim> ravic: unless you are using some kind of compositing, it will be pseudo-transparency
[04:17] <puff> Callum_: Oky, does this sound like a good idea:  lug the box, LCD, keyboard and mouse down to the TV room, plug the s-video out into the TV, boot it up, use the LCD to run nvidia-settings, try to autodetect?
[04:17] <ravic> how do i get real transpaerncy?
[04:17] <brand0n> anyone ever get the PS3 Eye webcams audio to work
[04:17] <blakkheim> ravic: use something like xcompmgr or compiz fusion
[04:17] <Callum_> puff: yes, that will work =)
[04:17] <h00k> ravic: do you have "Desktop effects" enabled?
[04:17] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, also found this online "To use NWNX on 64-bit system, you have to install 32-bit libraries and make a 32-bit chroot environment, then compile & run NWNX in this environment."
[04:17] <brishu> anyone know of a way where i can find what keybinding does waht (including the custom ones set by other programs), i have 2 keybindings that are SUPPPOSED to work, except they just dont do anything ... >.> ...
[04:18] <puff> Callum_: Thanks!  I go now to try.  I will come back with my remote contorl, or on it.
[04:18] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, http://www.nwnx.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=11998&sid=b91133a9b7a4ea1b1b92bad695363bb7 check this out it might help
[04:18] <navin> can anyone tell me how to delete the temporary internet files??
[04:18] <roachmmflhyr> navin, firefox?
[04:18] <navin> yes
[04:18] <ravic> h00k, i am not sure.
[04:19] <roachmmflhyr> navin, click tools->'clear private data'
[04:19] <navin> roachmmflhyr as we delete the prefetch folder in Windows and delete the temporary internet files, how can we do the same here as well.
[04:19] <h00k> ravic: if you goto System -> Preferences -> Appearance, Visual Effects tab
[04:19] <h00k> ravic: which option is checked there?
[04:19] <brand0n> anyone ever get the PS3 Eye webcams audio to work
[04:20] <ravic> none
[04:20] <roachmmflhyr> navin, check the necessary boxes and hit clear data .....
[04:20] <h00k> ravic: see if you can set "Normal" or "Extra," it really depends on your graphics card
[04:20] <navin> roachmmflhyr  i have done that but still the history is still there
[04:21] <ravic> installed a driver and needs a restart
[04:21] <ravic> going for it
[04:21] <h00k> ravic: okay, cool.
[04:21] <h00k> ravic: good luck!
[04:21] <redDog_> kinja-sheep: ok i did a sudo lshw -c network and wrote down the info... what is the next step in configuring my wireless connection
[04:21] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: i'll check into it :) thanks again (might be back ^^ )
[04:22] <roachmmflhyr> navin,  well clear the cache as well in edit->preferences->advanced->network->'clear cache'
[04:22] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, :)
[04:22] <h00k> navin: if you've checked the appropriate boxes, it shouldn't be there
[04:22] <navin> roachmmflhyr  I am not getting the option of clear private data under tools
[04:22] <kinja-sheep> redDog_: I don't recall you. Either way, you might want to check the hardware list.
[04:22] <kinja-sheep> !hcl | redDog_
[04:22] <roachmmflhyr> navin,  click edit->preferences->advanced->network->'clear cache'
[04:23] <roachmmflhyr> navin, its in the main toolbar not in tools
[04:23] <redDog_> kinja-sheep: i had another name before but had to reboot to open up my ubuntu install and forgot what name i was using in here
[04:24] <h00k> ravic: any luck?
[04:24] <ravic> nope
[04:24] <ravic> its set to extra
[04:24] <h00k> ravic: alright, so you have effects enabled
[04:24] <h00k> ravic: for instance, windows wobble if you move them around?
[04:24] <ravic> s
[04:25] <ravic> n very smoothly
[04:25] <kinja-sheep> redDog_: You should not need to write everything down (physically with a pen or pencil on a pad) but you're looking for specific information on your wireless card.  Also, if you haven't done yet, check Hardware Drivers under System --> Pref/Admin.
[04:25] <ravic> hook, i got it
[04:25] <h00k> ravic: what'dja do?
[04:25] <ravic> seem like it took time
[04:25] <h00k> ravic: probably, yeah. Does your terminal look better?
[04:26] <ravic> yeah
[04:26] <ravic> i like this real tranparent setting
[04:26] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: the shared libs stuff worked :D server is running! finally! :D :D
[04:26] <ravic> i can type commands in terminal with FF behind it
[04:26] <h00k> ravic: it's true, it looks good
[04:26] <ravic> no need to toggle
[04:26] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, awesome good job
[04:26] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: :)
[04:26] <ravic> h00k, thanks boz
[04:27] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, 'ia32-libs' pkg?
