[00:00] <Seveas> sharperguy, it's rare but can happen
[00:00] <nuk> no prob.
[00:00] <maco> sharperguy: there are router exploits, yes. you should always keep your router updated with the latest firmware
[00:00] <sharperguy> hmm ok
[00:00] <[KS]> if router is running windows, possibility even higher :)
[00:00] <Guest29385> good. i wish it was that but no. it seems lag problem
[00:00] <sharperguy> Either the router is infected or al the computers in the house have the same malware
[00:00] <sharperguy> including this ubuntu one
[00:00] <sharperguy> all the rest are xp
[00:00] <PeterNL> Seveas: "run as peter at di aug 31 00:52:24 CEST 2010 - run as peter at Tue Aug 31 00:55:01 CEST 2010 - run as peter at Tue Aug 31 01:00:01 CEST 2010" and that's it :(
[00:01] <nuk> ubuntu; infected ....hmmmmm
[00:01] <Guest29385> anyone from canada here
[00:01] <Seveas> PeterNL, then I have no idea :)
[00:01] <maco> sharperguy: cross-platform malware isnt unheard-of, but... last one i heard of was an OpenOffice.org macro virus
[00:01] <litatacos> yup
[00:01] <PeterNL> hmmm...
[00:02] <nuk> maco... sorry to interrupt, i only joined a few min. ago.... what is th problem here?
[00:02] <sharperguy> maco, It's affecting DNS resolution as well as occasionally hijacking search engines. I'm going to set my dns to opendns to see if that helps. Is it possible to set DNS servers while still using DHCP?
[00:02] <PeterNL> Seveas: I should test the logging by creating a error somehow. to trigger stderr and see if it works...
[00:02] <maco> sharperguy: yes of course
[00:02] <sharperguy> hmm I just can't see how to do it
[00:02] <Seveas> PeterNL, echo >&2 "This is an error"
[00:02] <PeterNL> But i suppose it just works, but gconftool-2 just sin't verbose enough
[00:02] <maco> sharperguy: you can change your router to not push DNS settings while still using DHCP, i believe
[00:03] <amosk> hello all
[00:03] <nuk> hi
[00:03] <maco> sharperguy: you can also just set a DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf after connecting to force your DNS on the host
[00:03] <sharperguy> maco, Yeah I don't have control over the router so i was going to do it locally
[00:03] <maco> sharperguy: i dont know enough about xp to tell you where to set DNS settings on there
[00:03] <PeterNL> now wait another 1:20...
[00:03] <maco> sharperguy: for that youd try ##windows
[00:03] <sharperguy> maco, yeah it's just ubuntu at the moment so i'll try the resold.conf
[00:03] <amosk> I try to install system by pxe+kickstart
[00:04] <ax> i've seen in some ubuntu guides that evolution has a 'google' calendar type, but my install of it doesn't, and i cannot seem to find the plugin for it.. anyone know what i need to do?  I'm on ubuntu 10.4
[00:04] <maco> sharperguy: resolv, not resold
[00:04] <famicube64> for xp dns, you go into network connections, right-click the connections you use and click properties
[00:04] <amosk> and I want put kickstart to cdrom1, iso to cdrom2
[00:04] <famicube64> all the stuff will be there
[00:04] <sharperguy> maco, yeah sorry typo
[00:04] <airtonix> ax, it's not a plugin
[00:04] <PeterNL> Seveas: I set it to run every minute, and it gives us the fake error, but nothing else
[00:04] <amosk> I try to install system by pxe+kickstart,and I want put kickstart to cdrom1, iso to cdrom2.  How to write the kernel commandline, ks=cdrom?... ?
[00:04] <hamed> hi
[00:04] <ax> airtonix: so, how do i get google calendar types when i add a calendar?
[00:04] <sharperguy> maco, can i add additional name servers by just appending it with a space?
[00:05] <maco> sharperguy: one per line
[00:05] <maco> sharperguy: nameserver a.b.c.d
[00:05] <amosk> maco: I try to install system by pxe+kickstart,and I want put kickstart to cdrom1, iso to cdrom2.  How to write the kernel commandline, ks=cdrom?...
[00:05] <airtonix> ax, when you do not mention the version of ubuntu you are using it is assumed you are using the latest which is 10.04... the default version of evolution with 10.04 has the ability to add google calendars
[00:05] <Seveas> sharperguy, also, no more than 3. glibc won't look any further
[00:05] <maco> amosk: i dont know
[00:05] <amosk> maco: oh, thanks
[00:06] <ax> airtonix: i did mention that i am using 10.4, but yeah, i'm using 10.4 and i don't have the 'google' entry in the calendar type selections
[00:06] <sharperguy> maco, Seveas ok thanks. opendns gives you two i think
[00:06] <mbroeker> sharperguy, download firmware, reset router, install firmware, disable upnp, setup connection settings inside router. done. More problems? windows will be responsible :)
[00:07] <sharperguy> mbroeker, heh thanks. Well I dont own the router but I'll get onto the owner about it.
[00:07] <ax> airtonix: new calendar -> type = [CalDav, On this computer, on the web, weather] only
[00:08] <X65> why does XF86AudioRaise/LowerVolume only change alsamixer in multiples of 11 .......? I have used xbindkeys to specify a different command but the volume still goes from 100-89% (-7db) steps.........
[00:09] <gartral> X65: do you have multiple sound cards?
[00:09] <X65> no.
[00:10] <sharperguy> what service do i restart once i've edited resolv.conf?
[00:11] <madjoe> what does this error message indicate? /usr/include/boost/shared_ptr.hpp:419: T* boost::shared_ptr< <template-parameter-1-1> >::operator->() const [with T = SessionData]: Assertion `px != 0' failed. Aborted
[00:11] <cromag> sharperguy: not sure if anything needs a restart
[00:12] <litatacos> hey hey there. i have a pretty common problem from the forums but i tried all the reccomended solutions without any luck :( i installed ubuntu studio but i cant connect to the internet. tried installing with hard wire connection and from cd rom. thnx for the help!
[00:12] <sharperguy> cromag, oh I need to figure out how to check if i'm using their dns server now then
[00:12] <cromag> nslookup
[00:12] <cromag> should be able to provide those info i believe.
[00:12] <sharperguy> cromag, oh yeah thanks
[00:13] <sharperguy> cromag, it did use opendns
[00:13] <cromag> i would think a hostlookup from applications would use the new ones then :)
[00:14] <eriksson25> Anyone know how I can get /dev/xxx to stay even if I add other disks. And dont say UUID becouse it dosent work. Need a other way.
[00:14] <jrib> eriksson25: uuid, of course it works
[00:14] <pie_time> what do you do with a .img file?
[00:14] <jrib> pie_time: burn it, mount it?
[00:14] <X65> why does XF86AudioRaise/LowerVolume only change alsamixer in multiples of 11 .......? I have used xbindkeys to specify a different
[00:15] <eriksson25> Nope it dosent, it mess up my grub booting.

[00:16] <Runar> Aaaand my -----------------key is stuck
[00:16] <seidos> X65: have you tried gconf-editor to specify a different amount?
[00:16] <X65> seidos, I looked in gconf all i see is the xf86
[00:16] <X65> seidos, where is the section to change it?
[00:17] <LinuxGuy2009> I hope this isnt offtopic but what branch of Debian is lucids packages based on since its an LTS release?
[00:18] <seidos> X65: i can't recall.  i haven't messed with that in awhile.  in fact, i might be wrong.  ignore me or search google.  it's your call.
[00:18] <gartral> X65:
[00:18] <jrib> LinuxGuy2009: unstable as always
[00:18] <gartral> X65: no :\
[00:19] <eriksson25> Oki, I have strugeling with my server for two days. got several stupid errors. But it alls comes down to that if grub points on uuid it dosent work. gives error waiting for root disk. When I set fstab and grub to boot /dev/sda1 it works. I can mount. But the problem is that this only works when I dont have my storage disks in becouse when I plug them in my system disk change /dev/xxx every reboot.
[00:19] <LinuxGuy2009> jrib: Ok I figured that, just wondered if they switched to testing for the LTS releases. Thanks.
[00:19] <eriksson25> And seting it to corect uuid it says uuid=xxx dosent exist after a long error.
[00:19] <jrib> eriksson25: make uuid work, that's the solution
[00:19] <mlourenco> help...wireless stopped working
[00:20] <Wavesonics> if i force encryption on my BT client, will it not connect to as many peers? (if others dont want to encrypt)
[00:20] <mcphail> eriksson25: try adding a "sleep 10" to the init scripts
[00:20] <douglas_carmicha> How does one change the screen resolution for GDM in 10.04? I looked for an xorg.conf, but I didn't see one in /etc/X11.
[00:21] <X65> Wavesonics, correct.
[00:21] <rebirth> why can't i rearange my quick launch icons easily?  do i seriously have to drag each one out of the way to make room. i want to drag to insert one in between two others
[00:21] <Wavesonics> X65, in your experience does it significantly impact the over all transfer?
[00:21] <eriksson25> mcphail where
[00:22] <X65> Wavesonics, nah
[00:22] <Wavesonics> X65, cool thx
[00:22] <X65> Wavesonics, unless there are only a few seeds who dont want encryption.
[00:22] <rebirth> this is seriously stupid, i'm going to swtich back to windows because of this
[00:23] <Wavesonics> X65, true
[00:23] <jrib> !helpme | rebirth

[00:25] <famicube64> does anyone here know if you can hide the "* has joined the room" kinds of messages in empathy?
[00:25] <jrib> rebirth: are you middle-click dragging?
[00:26] <revlater> rebirth: you can move a quicklaunch icon in between two other icons as long as the others are not locked
[00:26] <rebirth> jrib: dragging
[00:26] <X65> why does XF86AudioRaise/LowerVolume only change alsamixer in multiples of 11 .......? I have used xbindkeys to specify a different
[00:26] <rebirth> i see now that i can right click and select move and that alows me to what i want
[00:27] <jrib> rebirth: it was more of a suggestion than a question
[00:27] <jrib> X65: why do you keep repeating an incomplete question?
[00:27] <rebirth> i don't have a middle mouse button though
[00:27] <famicube64> rebirth: you can move the icons smoothly by right-clicking and choosing "move"
[00:27] <famicube64> as long as they're not locked
[00:27] <X65> jrib, it got cut off and thats the second time in 10+ minutes dude.
[00:27] <X65> dont act like I care what you think
[00:27] <jrib> rebirth: hmm.  Maybe both left and right at same time if you have that enabled
[00:27] <Datz> hi, is there any documentation on the different kernel flavors such as -server -pae -generic and so on?
[00:28] <rebirth> right click did it for me though

[00:35] <olskolirc> sdb1 my external drive "My Book" dougb_freebsd
[00:36] <dougb_freebsd> do you know what file system that drive is formatted with? fat32 by chance?
[00:36] <dan86> Hello, I'm installing linux for the first time
[00:36] <dan86> wondering if someone can help me with a quick partition question'
[00:36] <jrib> dan86: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[00:37] <olskolirc> yes its a fat 32 dougb_freebsd
[00:37] <X65> why does XF86AudioRaise/LowerVolume only change alsamixer in multiples of 11 .......? I have used xbindkeys to specify a different command looked in gconf-editor, been googling with no success I know the command works ive used it manually something is obviously hard-wired to 7db
[00:37] <Datz> hi, is there any documentation on the different kernel flavors such as -server -pae -generic and so on?
[00:37] <olskolirc> awww dan86 i could just SQUEEZEEEE you - WELCOME :-)
[00:37] <dan86> ok, i'm installing it alongside win server 2008 r2.  I resized the partition to allow for 22gb for linux.  i allotted 18 for linux, 4 for swap
[00:38] <dan86> two partitions
[00:38] <dan86> what do i set the mount point on for the main partition? And have i set this up correctly?
[00:38] <dougb_freebsd> olskolirc: well I'm sorry to say you're out of luck, you can't have a file larger than 4G on a fat32 drive
[00:38] <dan86> olskolirc thanks!
[00:38] <dougb_freebsd> (although the error message you're receiving is less than helpful)
[00:38] <jrib> dan86: /
[00:38]  * Datz is finding things slowly.
[00:38] <dan86> ok thanks
[00:39] <dan86> is my setup correct / optimal?
[00:39] <Datz> (incase any are interested)
[00:39] <olskolirc> so i should move the files dougb_freebsd and partition it to ext3?
[00:39] <olskolirc> or ntfs dougb_freebsd ?
[00:39] <dan86> "/" is ext3 and primary right?
[00:39] <dougb_freebsd> if you're going to be accessing the files from both windows and linux, ext2 is your safest bet
[00:39] <olskolirc> yes dan
[00:39] <olskolirc> if you are dual booting dan86
[00:39] <mlourenco> can anyone help fixing my wireless?
[00:40] <dan86> i am dual booting
[00:40] <olskolirc> bot partitions should be primary dan86
[00:40] <dan86> olskolirc, just to confirm ext3 or ext2?
[00:40] <dougb_freebsd> olskolirc: http://www.fs-driver.org/index.html
[00:40] <olskolirc> i use ext3 out of habit
[00:40] <olskolirc> thanks dougb_freebsd
[00:40] <extraclassic> dan86: partitions can all be primary unless you need more than 4
[00:40] <dan86> any advantage/disadvantage of ext3/ext2?
[00:41] <jrib> dan86: ext3 is journaled
[00:41] <mlourenco> can anyone help fixing my wireless? I tried all the guide already.
[00:41] <jrib> mlourenco: you need to ask an actual question with details
[00:42] <dan86> last questoin, i promise: i've heard some people mention a partition for /home or something like that? what does that mean, and do i need it?
[00:42] <KabelGuy> If you plan on trying new distros it would be a good idea.
[00:42] <dan86> no
[00:42] <dan86> so it's basically your files
[00:42] <dan86> as opposed to system files?
[00:42] <jrib> dan86: it's useful to have /home on it's own partition because all user data is kept in /home.  So if something goes bonkers or you want to try a new distro, you can install again and have all your data and user settings in place
[00:43] <Adrienk> angry
[00:43] <dan86> i get it, like /system and /data in android
[00:43] <dougb_freebsd> dan86: yes, think of /home as sort of like "My Documents" in windows (plus other things)
[00:43] <extraclassic> jrib: if you create a /home partition, then reinstall afterwards does it recognize your /home partition or will you end up with 2 home folders
[00:43] <KabelGuy> So yea.. I have been running Ubuntu for a while, and thought I would give the Netbook remix a try...
[00:44] <jrib> extraclassic: you can choose at install time
[00:44] <KabelGuy> 10 minutes later, and I somehow deleted my entire /home...
[00:44] <jrib> KabelGuy: but you have backups, right? right...?
[00:44] <KabelGuy> -.-
[00:44] <extraclassic> ok....i just named one /data and keep everything there
[00:45] <KabelGuy> Thing is, I don't see how it even happened..
[00:45] <KabelGuy> I followed procedure and shit.
[00:45] <olskolirc> drum roll im moving 40gigs to a dir in home from "My\ Book/" and im reforatting that drive

[00:46] <X65> how do i restart gnome-settings-daemon
[00:46] <Omen_20> jrib apps sometimes have glitches and if you get stuck in full screen all youve got is a hard reset. Nothing to get you out of that single program.
[00:47] <jrib> Omen_20: ctrl-alt-f1 then use kill or pkill, but usually if you can run a command, xkill is a lot nicer.
[00:47] <jrib> !sysrq | Omen_20
[00:47] <jrib> Omen_20: and that's better than a hard reset if you can't get to tty1 using ctrl-alt-f1

[00:51] <jrib> GHH: hmm?
[00:51] <GHH> jrib, speed only 10-12 kb
[00:51] <Omen_20> your solution only proved my point, how do you get out of that terminal? Exit gets you no where.
[00:51] <jrib> Omen_20: what terminal?  tty1?  Just hit ctrl-alt-f7

[00:56] <cromag> my guess too
[00:56] <VCoolio> Omen_20: just make a keyboard shortcut for it and done; why does it need to be ctrl-alt-del? if all is frozen, it doesn't work, but then also windows gets you nowhere
[00:57] <jrib> h0ho: what are you trying to install?
[00:57] <Armymen> i just dont find the option for that, you know when i mean i can have 5 windows open and i change my mouse from this windows to the next one, and the windows i have open disapear :S

[00:59] <Omen_20> I've tried making it a shortcut in the past but anytime a program has had full screen it never popped up so it was useless for when I needed it. I dont care what combo it is and Ubuntu itself is solid. I just dont get how they spend so much time integrating Facebook and not on making a simple process dialog.

[01:06] <VCoolio> Omen_20: ps -ef | grep <part of processname>     pkill processname / kill pid
[01:06] <benbloom> so I can log into and mount samba share from my Win7 machine, but I can't set up the printer from that same machine! anyone got any ideas? I get "Session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE"
[01:06] <Muelli> gasull: check "service'
[01:06] <jrib> KabelGuy: take this as the moment you start making backups.  If you think it's a bug, try to replicate it, and if you can, file a bug
[01:06] <Muelli> gasull: it's upstart which is resposible for running those scripts.
[01:06] <VCoolio> Omen_20: also htop, easier to use, you can select processes and execute kill commands
[01:07] <Muelli> !upstart | gasull
[01:07] <KabelGuy> jrib: Thing is, how?
[01:07] <jrib> KabelGuy: how what?
[01:07] <KabelGuy> Backups.
[01:07] <jrib> !backup | KabelGuy
[01:07] <KabelGuy> I don't have money for an external harddrive.
[01:08] <jrib> KabelGuy: there's also ubuntu One, but how much data do you have?
[01:08] <KabelGuy> ¨~~300Gb.
[01:09] <jrib> KabelGuy: start saving for an external then
[01:09] <KabelGuy> Yup..
[01:09] <litatacos> hey hey there. i have a pretty common problem from the forums but i tried all the reccomended solutions without any luck :( i installed ubuntu studio but i cant connect to the internet. tried installing with hard wire connection and from cd rom. thnx for the help! sorry to repost been trying to get help/fix it for the past 2 hrs. merci beucoup!
[01:09] <DeaCon> or a good used system to network and backup to
[01:09] <jrib> KabelGuy: for less than 100 bucks you can probably get a tb or two
[01:09] <gasull> Muelli: thanks, but I'm not sure what I need to do.   Should last me a long tme.
[01:12] <KabelGuy> Yup.
[01:12] <maco> powduh: its supported by the default intel drivers, but there are a few bugs. devs are requesting input from 8xx owners on various fixes to decide what goes in
[01:13] <gasull> Muelli, maco: I see.  Actually a lot of them aren't symlinks, and they seem to be the ones that aren't working: dnsmasq, tor, polipo, vboxdrv, hddtemp...  How do I configure upstart with them?
[01:13] <maco> powduh: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes
[01:13] <powduh> the problem i am having is that it will not switch between display modes
[01:14] <h0ho> hehe got it working ;D
[01:14] <gasull> Muelli, maco: should I just symlink from /lib/init ?
[01:14] <powduh> yes and the video will stop from time to time and start flashing all sorts of weird colors
[01:14] <Muelli> gasull: probably not. look at /etc/rc*.d/
[01:14] <winvirt> I have Windows 7 on sda1 and Ubuntu on sda5, how would I virtualize sda1? Which software would I use?
[01:14] <Omen_20> Thanks jrib, and VCoolio, that is definitely a step closer.
[01:14] <help`> for what /bin/false use?
[01:14] <dmex> !virtualbox | winvirt
[01:15] <Muelli> gasull: there is also a program called rc-update or the like. You mihgt be interested in looking at that.
[01:15] <winvirt> But VirtualBox requires me to install Win7 onto a disk image, I want to virtualize the partition directlyu
[01:15] <Muelli> winvirt: you might want to try qemu, but windows being stupid and doesn't like so many hardware changes.
[01:16] <winvirt> Okay
[01:16] <Sovereign> does free mean open source and non free closed source?
[01:16] <ZykoticK9> winvirt, it is possible to use physical disks with VirtualBox (i haven't done it, and see the WARNING) http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk
[01:16] <jrib> !free | Sovereign
[01:17] <[KS]> no, non free means you pay for it :)
[01:17] <[KS]> as in, cash
[01:17] <[KS]> or blood :)
[01:17] <gasull> Muelli: All the services that aren't starting are already linked in /etc/rc2.d/ : tor, polipo, dnsmasq, hddtemp and vboxdrv
[01:17] <mininessie> has kernel 2.6.35 worked for anyone else on 10.10
[01:17] <Muelli> gasull: nice. now go and figure out what runlevels are and how sysvinit starts services based on the runlevel.
[01:17] <ZykoticK9> [KS], free as in freedom vs. free as in beer
[01:18] <famicube64> mininessie: works fine for me on arch
[01:18] <famicube64> haven't tried 10.10 yet
[01:18] <mininessie> famicube64, grr
[01:18] <powduh> will try to install updated intel drivers first
[01:18] <powduh> thanks for the site
[01:18] <dmex> winvirt: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/ee656415.aspx
[01:18] <mininessie> ubuntu makes my laptop so hot why
[01:18] <[KS]> cause it wears mini skirt
[01:19] <litatacos> ok now i'm fairly certin ive been able to muddle through getting network manager.... any idea how i can discover and connect to nearby routers?
[01:19] <winvirt> And VirtualBox can use an image in VHD format?
[01:19] <litatacos> the wireless thing doesnt appear on the indicator applet
[01:19] <cystic> make sure you have drivers for your wireless card installed
[01:20] <ZykoticK9> winvirt, #vbox might be of assistance
[01:20] <cystic> get online  with that computers and download the drivers to make the internet work
[01:20] <winvirt> Thank you
[01:20] <axisys> looks like ubottu needs be taught about ppa packages in its answer to clone
[01:21] <MrWise> hmm, what's mount point? I have options for what to set my second harddrive in this computer to what mount point, like /home or /usr, what exactly would that mean if I pick /usr, would all /usr/ stuff be put in that second harddrive? even if / is my primary harddrive?
[01:21] <lelle> my mouse randomly freezes in ubuntu...
[01:22] <coz_> lelle,  is there any time it does this regularly?  ie  when using firefox  or gimp  or some other application?
[01:23] <lelle> nopee
[01:23] <ridin> MrWise: usually you're setting a partition as /home or /usr i guess
[01:23] <coz_> lelle,  mm  and this is a fresh install of ubuntu lucid or an upgrade?
[01:23] <ridin> MrWise: when you want all of them mount them as /
[01:23] <Fendaril> Can someone explain to me what use linking files together are?
[01:23] <Fendaril> I mean what if the purpose of having two or more files point to one file in memory
[01:23] <Fendaril> hard or soft-wise
[01:23] <lelle> 10.04.1 install cd but i think it did when i first installed it too
[01:23] <Sovereign> I'm looking to install qimo os not sure if i should install in a vm or just install in Ubuntu
[01:24] <richthegeek> hey, does anyone know what's going on with the 64-bit version of Flash?
[01:24] <coz_> lelle,   i assume this is a desktop system
[01:24] <MrWise> ridin; what exactly would that mean if I pick /usr, would all /usr/ stuff be put in that second harddrive? even if / is my primary harddrive?
[01:24] <lelle> lelle: laptop, and my other mouse did it too...
[01:25] <klappi> Fendaril: changing the file tree into a graph making it harder to scan
[01:25] <ZykoticK9> richthegeek, there is a security issue with the old 64bit flash so it was removed, Adobe MAY bring it back, but no one knows (or is talking)
[01:25] <ridin> MrWise: sure
[01:25] <Fendaril> klappi: in other words dont use file linking?
[01:25] <coz_> lelle,  then I am not sure... if you have already changed mice  .... you can use the touchpad with no issues?
[01:25] <richthegeek> ZykoticK9: was the security issue big? 32-bit runs insanely poorly on my system (that can otherwise run Crysis at full)
[01:25] <klappi> Fendaril: i was kidding! Links are totaly awsome
[01:25] <litatacos> hi cystic im using ubuntu studio and have not had to do that before. i tried looking up my model toshiba satellite a200 but no luck :(
[01:25] <Sovereign> ZykoticK9: is that in windows also
[01:25] <ZykoticK9> Sovereign, no idea
[01:26] <Fendaril> klappi: awsome for what. Obfuscating things to be l33t?
[01:26] <azul> hi
[01:26] <ZykoticK9> richthegeek, i'm not sure about the bug really - just know that it's a "security" issue of some sort...
[01:26] <lelle> coz_: yep i think so last i tried
[01:26] <gasull> Muelli: I see.  Just read the Wikipedia art. re: runlevels and a linux.com art. re: Upstart and runleveles.  Ubuntu emulates runlevels using Upstart.  But still, I don't know how to make the services start on boot.
[01:26] <richthegeek> ZykoticK9: ok thanks, I'll google around and see if it's duped anywhere
[01:27] <coz_> lelle,  mm  then it could be either you mice are a bit glitchy or the mouse driver is out of wach somehow.... in this case I am not sure what to tell you .... perhpas   #ubuntu-hardware  but I hve not been there to see exactly what in in the topic
[01:27] <klappi> Fendaril: look at /etc/alternatives its a good example for the use of sym links
[01:28] <lelle> coz_ or some sort therapy because i abuse it almost every time ubuntu hangs up :/
[01:29] <Guest33750> theoretical question: is there an "access time" difference between accessing data in a memory cache verus accessing data in a file stored on a tmpfs?  how could i test this?
[01:29] <Guest33750> access time meaning time taken to access (not "last accessed" ;)
[01:29] <mininessie> kernel 2.6.35 doesn't for me on 10.10
[01:30] <fruitwerks> how can I resize my root LVM partition?
[01:30] <undifined> mininessie, me neither, what's your hardware
[01:30] <Tiders-> Is there a computer science channel on this server
[01:30] <mininessie> undifined, macbook pro
[01:30] <coz_> lelle,  ooo  understandable  for sure
[01:31] <undifined> mininessie, hmmm, totaly diffrent
[01:31] <undifined> mininessie, i have xeon
[01:31] <axisys> how do I change the default lucid theme? i like the menu button on the top right instead
[01:32] <axisys> there is a keyword that ubottu knows.. but i am not sure which one.. i tried wintheme, lucid, theme, win.. none covers it
[01:32] <coz_> axisys,  you want to change the positions of the buttons ,,,the menu button I am not sure  but the other buttons are easily changed in gconf-editor
[01:32] <tonmoraes88> precisando
[01:32] <undifined> mininessie, did it work partially ?
[01:32] <klappi> Guest33750: make an educated guess
[01:32] <tonmoraes88> to no biglinux
[01:32] <axisys> coz_: where in gconf-editor.. i have that open
[01:32] <iamben> should i expect 10.04.1 netbook remix to work on 512M ram and no swap?
[01:33] <tonmoraes88> preciso  saber como fazer uma rede no big
[01:33] <klappi> Tiders: in what field of cs is your question?
[01:33] <mininessie> undifined, no i got parmin flush or something like that when it boote
[01:33] <coz_> axisys,   go to  apps/metacity/general
[01:33] <mininessie> booted not boote
[01:33] <sailerboy> iamben, why no swap?
[01:33] <coz_> axisys,  look on the right column for  "button_layout"
[01:33] <Tiders> klappi, Just in general I guess
[01:33] <undifined> mininessie, diffrent issue  i think
[01:33] <iamben> sailerboy: i only have a 4G disk and that seems to be pushing it... /home will be on 8G SD card though
[01:33] <axisys> coz_: found it! thanks a lot
[01:34] <iamben> sailerboy: think i can afford 512M swap or so, of that 4G?
[01:34] <sailerboy> iamben, you may want to try lubuntu netbook remix
[01:34] <coz_> axisys,  if you want the buttons on the right  notice the  :  at the end  put that at the beginning  then it should look like this after editing  the words  :minimize,maximize,close
[01:34] <undifined> mininessie, mine randomly halts
[01:34]  * fruitwerks waves at iamben - a familiar face *hi*
[01:34] <sailerboy> it's a bit lighter
[01:34] <gasull> Can anybody help me find why some scripts in /etc/rc2.d/ aren't starting on bootup?
[01:34] <iamben> sailerboy: similar UI?
[01:34] <sailerboy> erm
[01:34] <sailerboy> sorta...
[01:34] <axisys> coz_: thanks
[01:34] <sailerboy> it uses LXDE
[01:34] <sailerboy> which is basically barebones
[01:35] <sailerboy> designed to be lightweight
[01:35] <coz_> axisys,  no problem...the menu button on the other hand I do not believe has a gconf key for it
[01:35] <sailerboy> i used it on my netbook before i switched to arch
[01:35] <iamben> well im gentoo guy but this is for a teenage girl..
[01:35] <iamben> ubuntu netbook was "working"
[01:35] <sailerboy> oh
[01:36] <sailerboy> well, lubuntu is reasonably user friendly
[01:36] <sailerboy> just no fluff and fancy gui shit
[01:36] <mininessie> lubuntu is buggy
[01:36] <axisys> coz_: i think the button_layout is what I was looking for.. probly explaining it wrong :-)
[01:36] <klappi> iamben: gentoo guy and gnu/linux girl sounds like super heroes
[01:36] <fruitwerks> iamben: I'm done with Gentoo for my uses... 10 years.. had a good run lol
[01:36] <coz_> axisys,  oh cool :)
[01:36] <sailerboy> mininessie, i never had any problem
[01:36] <axisys> coz_: thanks a lot!
[01:36] <iamben> previous install (9.10_ had something like 256M swap, and seemed to get by with still ~600M free
[01:36] <coz_> axisys,  no problem
[01:36]  * fruitwerks I have a yahoo account gentoo_dude haha
[01:37] <coz_> mininessie,  what is buggy for you??
[01:37] <iamben> 600M disk that is
[01:37] <sailerboy> iamben, you should have *SOME* swap
[01:37] <famicube64> man, i love vmware player
[01:37] <sailerboy> ideally about the size of your memory
[01:37] <sailerboy> but you can get by with less or more
[01:37] <sailerboy> as long as you dont plan on using more then you have room for
[01:37] <axisys> what is the gnome/gconf cleanup bin ? wasn't it gnome-cleanup or something ?
[01:37] <sailerboy> if you have 8 gb of mem, chances are you wont need swap
[01:37] <dan86> fuck yea! i got ubuntu installed and working!
[01:37] <dan86> t
[01:37] <dan86> his i

[01:38] <famicube64> heh
[01:38] <IdleOne> !language | dan86
[01:38] <dan86> this is awesome! how do i install a program? i tried installing ps3 media server it's a zip file
[01:38] <iamben> well on the last install, with 256M used for swap, there wasn't enough disk space to do the 9.10=>10.04 upgrade in place
[01:38] <gasull> Muelli, maco: can you please help me any further?
[01:38] <iamben> i guess this is just the situation i'm stuck in
[01:38] <sailerboy> you shouldnt do the upgrade anyway
[01:38] <ZykoticK9> !upnp | dan86
[01:38] <coz_> dan86,   what do you want to install?
[01:38] <sailerboy> HOWEVER
[01:38] <fruitwerks> I need some advice on moving or resizing my root partition
[01:39] <sailerboy> iamben, i would recomend putting the swap on the sd card
[01:39] <Muelli> gasull: try symlinking /etc/init.d/tor to /etc/rc1.d/S10tor  or the like.
[01:39] <sailerboy> as long as you have no need for preformance
[01:39] <Muelli> gasull: no, in rcS.d/ I guess.
[01:39] <iamben> sailerboy: swap on SD will probably be tolerable, i can spare a full gig there i suppose
[01:39] <JusticeZero> OK, got the network thing dealt with it seems.. which is more stable and safe: Upgrading from 9.04 twice to get to 10.04, or making a boot stick and reinstalling?
[01:39] <Muelli> gasull: but you better check sysvinit/upstart documentatino on that.
[01:39] <sailerboy> expect slower preformance
[01:39] <sinnedam> i installed opera and i dont like it, how can i uninstall it? it doesnt show up under installed software
[01:39] <sailerboy> im assuming the sd card is SDHC
[01:39] <iamben> yeah it's SDHC
[01:39] <sailerboy> so it should be at least 4 mbps
[01:40] <dan86> i want to install ps3 media server
[01:40] <iamben> the 4G ssd main disk isn't exactly a screamer either..
[01:40] <sailerboy> assuming you dont have the C32
[01:40] <iamben> this is a first-gen dell mini 9
[01:40] <sailerboy> lol
[01:40] <sailerboy> um
[01:40] <dan86> it's a TGZ file
[01:40] <sailerboy> i think, honestly
[01:40] <gasull> Muelli: rcS.d is for single-user mode
[01:40] <sailerboy> that you should put arch on it
[01:40] <sailerboy> and then put lxde or xfce
[01:40] <litatacos> im using ubuntu studio and have not installed a network driver before. i tried looking up my model toshiba satellite a200 but no luck :( ll instructions indicate i need to be connected. pls help *cries in the corner*
[01:40] <sailerboy> after that, it's pretty userfriendly
[01:40] <iamben> i sure like that netbook UI though
[01:40] <sailerboy> im sure you can get that on arch
[01:40] <famicube64> if it exists, arch will run on it
[01:41] <Muelli> gasull: uh, hm. sorry, but apparently you know what you are talking about :-) Maybe it's rc5.d..
[01:41]  * sailerboy searches AUR
[01:41] <iamben> i'm gonna see how things go when i add a swap partition on the SD card, i'll go from there
[01:41] <sinnedam> anybody? how can i uninstall opera web browser? its not listed under installed programs
[01:41] <iamben> i appreciate the input, everyone
[01:41] <dan86> anyone?
[01:41] <famicube64> remove it with synaptic
[01:41] <sailerboy> iamben, aur/netbook-launcher-complete 2.1.18-1 (18)
[01:41] <sailerboy>     "(for Gnome 2.30) Netbook-launcher from Ubuntu UNR. Replace the normal
[01:41] <sailerboy>     menu launcher. To use with go-home-applet,
[01:41] <sailerboy> darn
[01:41] <dan86> how to install TGZ file?
[01:41] <FloodBot2> sailerboy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:41] <famicube64> or sudo apt-get remove opera
[01:41] <sailerboy> i thought that was one line
[01:41] <ZykoticK9> sinnedam, how did you install it?  From a DEB file or PPA?
[01:42] <iamben> sailerboy: that's from the arch repo, i'm guessing?
[01:42] <sailerboy> but ya iamben, that's from AUR
[01:42] <iamben> good to know
[01:42] <sailerboy> iamben, if you have an afternoon
[01:42] <sailerboy> arch will be much lighter then ubuntu
[01:42] <sailerboy> and probably faster
[01:42] <gasull> Muelli: thanks, but rc5.d seems to be for X11 apps: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Runlevel#Typical_Linux_runlevels
[01:43] <gasull> Muelli: rc4.d?
[01:43] <fruitwerks> ok if I ditch my swap partition (temporary) and 'copy' my root partition over to that, andthing special I need to do other than some fstab entries?
[01:43] <Muelli> gasull: I'm sorry. I don't know. But you can check your current runlevel with telinit or so I think. That might help you
[01:44] <ZykoticK9> !runlevel
[01:44] <gasull> Muelli: No worries.   Thank you
[01:44] <dan86> what does linux RPM mean?
[01:44] <dan86> do i install a file for linux or linux RPM? ubuntu 10.04
[01:44] <gasull> ZykoticK9: thanks
[01:44] <looksharp> hi
[01:45] <ZykoticK9> dan86, RPM = Redhat Package Management - like DEB files for Ubuntu
[01:45] <klappi> dan86: rpm means redhat package manager
[01:45] <dan86> ok Thanks!
[01:45] <dan86> is java pre-installed with ubuntu 10.04?
[01:45] <ZykoticK9> dan86, not re-installed no - you need to add the Partner repo to install Sun Java

[01:48] <Fendaril> why isn't my sound working?
[01:49] <lintian> /join #ubuntu-br
[01:49] <help`> how to specify a FQDN for my server? from the /etc/hostname i just complete it there?
[01:49] <melkor> Fendaril: you have the volume turned off
[01:49] <ZykoticK9> !it | aswe_
[01:49] <aswe_> ty :)
[01:49] <Fendaril> melkor: unfortunately no
[01:50] <Fendaril> melkor: it's turned up to the max
[01:50] <VinnyParker> dan86: download bin from java website
[01:50] <VinnyParker> and set variables
[01:50] <litatacos> dan86 click on system, admin synaptic
[01:50] <VinnyParker> but here I'm having problems with it
[01:50] <melkor> Fendaril: what sound card are you using?
[01:50] <jdarcy> internl
[01:50] <ZykoticK9> VinnyParker, dan86 downloading bin from website NOT recommended installation method, add partner repostiory and install using regular Ubuntu methods
[01:51] <Fendaril> melkor: what command can I use to check that?
[01:51] <dan86> i'm confused =/
[01:51] <melkor> dan86: if you just want the ps3 media server you should look for that in synaptic first.
[01:51] <melkor> Fendaril: lspci should show the soundcard
[01:51] <ZykoticK9> dan86, to install Sun's Java see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/java
[01:52] <VinnyParker> so who is the partner to install java? how the correct way to install
[01:52] <VinnyParker> ?
[01:52] <melkor> VinnyParker: what do you want to do with java.
[01:52] <VinnyParker> dev
[01:52] <VinnyParker> I need jdk
[01:52] <Fendaril> melkor:  High Definition Audio Controller
[01:52] <VinnyParker> postgresql
[01:52] <VinnyParker> and glassfish
[01:52] <flan> "Template ubuntu-application does not exist." Anyone know what package I need to install to deal with this? (Related to 'quickly')
[01:53] <rypervenche> Hi all.
[01:53] <melkor> VinnyParker: the best is to d/load it from sun and install the latest version.  If you are new to ubuntu, then the sun java jdk is the quickest, easiest and works quite well.
[01:54] <Fendaril> melkor: on a side note why is my firefox going so slugglish?
[01:54] <trism> flan: quickly-ubuntu-template perhaps
[01:54] <flan> trism, thanks for answering, but, unfortunately, I've already got that one. :(
[01:54] <litatacos> dan86 on your taskbar click system then administration then synaptic package manager. type jdk in the search bar and check off openjdk-6, then hit apply on the top of the window.
[01:54] <VinnyParker> melkor: ok but how do I install it? if I cant use jdk bin
[01:54] <melkor> VinnyParker: don't use the gnu java though.
[01:54] <axisys> how do I get the gnome-cleanup ?
[01:54] <axisys> i see it in my gnome in opensolaris
[01:55] <chalcedny> just curious.. after i do sudo update && upgrade.. the Update Manager pops right back up, still wanting updates.. why?
[01:55] <Guest98549> ok. I need help ASAP, I just installed RGBA support and had compiz running, then I tried to start tremulous. The GUI locks up. I logon to my terminal and kill the process, but the system is still locked up. What do i do now. I am on irssi
[01:55] <axisys> there might be a gnome-cleanup equivalent in ubuntu ?!
[01:55] <dan86> litatacos thanks
[01:55] <dan86> installing now =)
[01:56] <ZykoticK9> chalcedny, Update Manager uses the equivilant of "sudo dist-upgrade" (or similar) vs just "sudo apt-get upgrade" that doesn't install new packages...
[01:56] <melkor> dan86: don't install openjdk
[01:56] <Guest98549> ok. I need help ASAP, I just installed RGBA support and had compiz running, then I tried to start tremulous. The GUI locks up. I logon to my terminal and kill the process, but the system is still locked up. What do i do now. I am on irssi
[01:56] <dan86> melkor why not?
[01:56] <dan86> (i just did)
[01:56] <litatacos> melkor why is that?
[01:56] <melkor> dan86: well it might work for you since your not developing.
[01:56] <melkor> litatacos: it sucks
[01:56] <lee_> Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python-libxml2 (>= 2.7.6), how can I install this dependency
[01:57] <litatacos> melkor its the easiest way
[01:57] <melkor> litatacos: there is a proper sun java in the repos
[01:57] <litatacos> ah ok i stand corrected
[01:57] <VinnyParker> melkor: So what do I use to install java
[01:57] <VinnyParker> ?
[01:57] <flan> trism, thanks for trying. Do you want to know if I find the answer?
[01:57] <soreau> Guest98549: If you are using a driver that supports xrandr 1.2 (anything except nvidia) you can use xrandr to change the mode to something different then back to see if it resets it
[01:57] <melkor> VinnyParker: you can use synaptic
[01:57] <kavurt> i can't use gmail's "call phone" function in firefox, but it works in chrome. what can i do for firefox?
[01:57] <melkor> VinnyParker: one sec.
[01:57] <litatacos> it works just fine on my lamp server
[01:57] <VinnyParker> ok
[01:57] <chalcedny> thank you
[01:58] <Guest98549> soreau: the GUI doesn't respond
[01:58] <litatacos> yes as dumb as i am on ubuntu studio i can set up lamp solution stacks and maintain them just fine :P
[01:58] <alesan> hi! how can I make the result of 'ls' colored by default?
[01:59] <alesan> and possibly also a colored prompt
[01:59] <melkor> VinnyParker: sun-java6-jdk
[01:59] <GUInotWorking> ok. I need help ASAP, I just installed RGBA support and had compiz running, then I tried to start tremulous. The GUI locks up. I logon to my terminal and kill the process, but the system is still locked up. What do i do now. I am on irssi
[01:59] <VinnyParker> it will create java variables?
[01:59] <litatacos> environmental vriables?
[01:59] <dan86> after i started playing music the system has become unresponsive....
[02:00] <melkor> VinnyParker: I dont know what variables you want set.
[02:00] <VinnyParker> yes I was usng /etc/profile to set jdk variables
[02:00] <melkor> VinnyParker: that should install sun's version of java.
[02:00] <GUInotWorking> im trying killing x server
[02:00] <VinnyParker> do I need to use it here also?
[02:00] <ZykoticK9> GUInotWorking, just an FYI for future, it's probably best to disable Compiz before starting 3d games (especially wine stuff) - fusion-icon provided a system tray icon to switch between compiz and metacity easily
[02:00] <VinnyParker> ok I'll try thax
[02:00] <melkor> VinnyParker: what variables, probably.
[02:00] <ZykoticK9> GUInotWorking, "sudo service gdm restart" to restart gui
[02:01] <litatacos> bleh nobody helps me so I shouldnt bother. evidently i also suck at it.
[02:01] <GUInotWorking> got it
[02:01] <GUInotWorking> ty for help
[02:01] <VinnyParker> I mean JAVA_HOME
[02:01] <lxd> 大家好。
[02:01] <melkor> litatacos: you sent them in the right direction.
[02:01] <dan86> is there an IRC client installed with Ubuntu?
[02:01] <litatacos> dan86 no
[02:01] <maco> dan86: empathy can do it, but its not very good
[02:01] <ZykoticK9> dan86, not really, empathy can do IRC (but shouldn't)
[02:01] <lxd> yes
[02:02] <dan86> what would you guys recommend for IRC on ubuntu?
[02:02] <litatacos> dan86 try synaptic again then search for xchat
[02:02] <dan86> ok thanks
[02:02] <litatacos> xchat is good
[02:02] <melkor> VinnyParker: why do you need JAVA_HOME.
[02:02] <melkor> VinnyParker: also if you are setting environment variables you shouldn't set them in /etc/profile.
[02:03] <litatacos> k did the good deed can someone help me now? cuz i aint so bright
[02:04] <melkor> litatacos: what are you having trouble with
[02:04] <litatacos> im using ubuntu studio and have not installed a network driver before. i tried looking up my model toshiba satellite a200 but no luck :( ll instructions indicate i need to be connected. pls help *cries in the corner*
[02:04] <sinnedam> still having problems guys..any idea why i cant uninstall opera web browser?
[02:04] <dan912> awesome
[02:04] <ZykoticK9> sinnedam, how did you install it?
[02:05] <dan912> litatacos thanks for the help
[02:05] <sinnedam> from a download on their website
[02:05] <dan912> i would not have been able to figure this stuff out!
[02:05]  * sailerboy facepalms
[02:05] <ZykoticK9> sinnedam, in that case i have no idea - good luck.
[02:05] <sinnedam> there is no uninstall under "installed programs"
[02:05] <sailerboy> Sinister, h/o
[02:05] <ZykoticK9> sinnedam, yes - but not when you install things using unofficial methods
[02:05] <sailerboy> ok
[02:05] <litatacos> i was there 3 weeks ago except i was stuck setting up a lamp server and reltional database in phpmyadmin
[02:05] <sailerboy> sinnedam, type into the termina
[02:05] <puff> litatacos: So what exactly are you seeing?
[02:06] <sailerboy> "sudo apt-get purge opera"
[02:06] <litatacos> be glad you arent me lol but i made it work and well
[02:06] <ZykoticK9> sailerboy, that won't work.  sinnedam
[02:06] <melkor> sinnedam: how did you install it?
[02:06] <sailerboy> ZykoticK9, it's a deb file
[02:06] <sailerboy> it'll work
[02:06] <litatacos> hey i see nothing in terms of network
[02:06] <ZykoticK9> sailerboy, oh sorry then that will work.  sinnedam
[02:06] <puff> litatacos: I have to leave shortly, but I've had to sort through a few netowrk problems, I might spot something.
[02:07] <alesan> ZykoticK9, why do you postpone the nick of sinnedam ?
[02:07] <litatacos> i think its because ubuntu studio ny network stuff
[02:07] <Calkiot> hi guys
[02:07] <litatacos> doesnt include ^
[02:07] <dan912> Litatacos can i ask you a quick question
[02:07] <puff> litatacos: I don't know "ubuntu studio", but... step one, do "ifconfig -a" and see what network interfaces you have.
[02:07] <litatacos> yes sir
[02:07] <ZykoticK9> alesan, because i'm addressing one person, but it's referring to anothers' issue - so want them to be highlighted as well
[02:07] <dan912> ok, i downloaded a program called ps3 media server, its a TGZ file
[02:07] <Calkiot> just got ubuntu
[02:07] <litatacos> tnx puff one sec
[02:07] <dan912> i unzipped it
[02:07] <sinnedam> when i try command line it says unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?)
[02:07] <melkor> litatacos: what sort of network driver?  Your wireless, or any network?
[02:08] <dan912> and ran the .sh file and it opens and works
[02:08] <litatacos> any network
[02:08] <sailerboy> sinnedam, youn need to use sudo
[02:08] <dan912> where should i put the folder for the program? how do i add a shortcut for it?
[02:08] <litatacos> hardwire doesnt work
[02:08] <sinnedam> i did :(
[02:08] <ritlee> anyone able to help me with a script, containing the copy command, it can be read at http://pastebin.com/iZTcCz80  contains the output i get when ran
[02:08] <puff> litatacos: You should see eth0 and eth1, as well as a few others, and the second or third line of each shoudl say something like UP MULTICAST etc
[02:08] <sailerboy> is synaptic open?
[02:08] <ZykoticK9> sinnedam, close any Synaptic / Ubuntu Software Center / or Update Managers in your GUI then try again
[02:08] <alesan> ZykoticK9, ok but it's the first time I see somebody putting the nick at the end of the sentence
[02:08] <sinnedam> yes lol
[02:08] <sailerboy> close it Sinister
[02:08] <sailerboy> close it sinnedam
[02:08] <alesan> bye
[02:09] <CkhiKuzad> goodbye.
[02:09] <sinnedam> whoops :) that worked...thanks from a linux newb
[02:09] <ZykoticK9> alesan, i was just trying to be inclusive ;)
[02:09] <sailerboy> close it sinnedam
[02:09] <sailerboy> sinnedam, np
[02:09] <sailerboy> damnit
[02:09] <puff> litatacos: Let's try wireless first... try "sudo iwlist eth1 scan" and see if it spots your router.
[02:09] <sailerboy> xchat fail
[02:09] <FloodBot2> sailerboy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:09] <sailerboy> :|
[02:09] <puff> litatacos: Hello?  As I said, I have to go AFK soon, so...
[02:10] <litatacos> hey puff i see the up stuff you were talking about
[02:10] <puff> litatacos: Okay, so "sudo iwlist eth1 scan"
[02:10] <puff> litatacos: Do you have eth1?
[02:10] <puff> litatacos: And is eth1 up?
[02:10] <litatacos> nope
[02:10] <litatacos> doesn't support scanning
[02:11] <puff> Weird.
[02:11] <puff> litatacos: Okay, so... do you know what your router ESSID is?
[02:11] <puff> litatacos: And channel?
[02:11] <ZykoticK9> litatacos, i haven't been following but usually wireless is wlan0
[02:11] <litatacos> dan912 sorry man gimmie some time trying to fix my media box need it for post production
[02:11] <Brandon_> hey
[02:11] <Brandon_> I need help
[02:11] <puff> ZykoticK9: I think it depends on the hardware.  On mine, it's always eth1.
[02:11] <ZykoticK9> !ask | Brandon_
[02:11] <ZykoticK9> puff, you have unusual hardware then
[02:12] <puff> ZykoticK9: Maybe, ibm thinkpad t43p.
[02:12] <puff> litatacos: Okay, do you know your WAP's ESSID and channel?
[02:12] <olskolirc> think we can take this www.express.paltalk.com and make our own java program?  its java and flash
[02:12] <litatacos> woaahhhh
[02:12] <olskolirc> !ask | ubottu
[02:13] <LintWad> Evening.
[02:13] <owner> Can anyone assist me on fixing my sound on xubuntu?  YouTube isn't as funny without it.
[02:13] <Brandon_> Ok, So everytime i try to install any kind of linux, ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu, and some tiny version, it will boot up from the disk then when i click either install or run demo it starts to load then my screen flashes and freezes up
[02:13] <ritlee> anyone able to help me with a script, containing the copy command, it can be read at http://pastebin.com/iZTcCz80  contains the output i get when ran
[02:13] <LintWad> Question: Each time I boot up it seems wireless is disabled. I can easily enable it each time, but it's getting a tad annoying.
[02:13] <litatacos> puff wlan0 came back with... lots of stuff lol
[02:13] <dan912> litatacos no prob
[02:13] <dan912> i will PM you
[02:13] <puff> litatacos: Okay, do you know your WAP's ESSID and channel?
[02:14] <litatacos> nah hang on tho ill get it
[02:14] <Brandon_> It kinda looks like this when it freezes up http://blog.hexagonstar.com/wp-content/uploads/gba_glitch.gif
[02:15] <puff> litatacos: If so, try: a) sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid myessid b) sudo iwconfig wlan0 channel mychannel, c) sudo dhclient wlan0
[02:16] <Brandon_> I tried both the 32 and 64 bit versions. win xp oloaded and installed fine
[02:16] <puff> litatacos: Then see what dhclient comes back with.
[02:16] <litatacos> tnx puff
[02:16] <reflexwolf> I was wondering if someone could help with a problem I'm having installing 10.04, it gets past the first screen then hangs on me... it wont even let me boot off the CD
[02:16] <litatacos> gah!!! lame i forgot where my home is :P
[02:17] <puff> litatacos: it's not clear, to me, what the actual problem is in your case.   If this is a brand new install on this laptop, and you have some odd chipset, you may indeed need proprietary drivers, in which case you'll have to find a machine with a functioning internet connection, download them, and sneakernet them onto your machine.
[02:17] <Brandon_> Reflexwolf I think you have the same prob i have =(
[02:17] <CkhiKuzad> litatacos. its /home/yourname or if you are in a terminal, you can easily get there by typing 'cd ~'
[02:17] <litatacos> tnx puff ill try the otherthing i forgot how to log into my router gotta find home to get essid nd chan
[02:17] <taraduffy> I seem to have a CUPS issue after an update a few days ago - things would print - all kinds of error messages lke 'cant read xref table' etc- can anyone help please?
[02:19] <reflexwolf> did you get them to send you a CD Brandon_ ?
[02:19] <puff> litatacos: My brother's dell, for example, had that problem.  In his case, it was only a problem with the wireless, so I plugged into a wired connection, and used System/Hardware Drivers to fetch and install the necessary proprietary driver for his laptop.
[02:19] <Brandon_> No i burnt them myself, a few. and tried usb
[02:19] <w0_> howdy, trying to use weechat in a terminal window in ubuntu 1.04.  looks/werks great .. tho I need to use F10 & F11 to scroll the user list, the problem is that ubuntu's terminal window already use F10 and F11 .. what/how should I do?
[02:20] <litatacos> puff i cant wired wont work :(
[02:20] <puff> litatacos: I have to go now, but if somebody else can help you, I suggest you first start off by explaining what hardware you have (brand, model, possibly chipset) and what version of ubuntu you have installed, and whether this is a fresh install, or an upgrade, or what.
[02:20] <litatacos> thats how i usully do it. this stupid ubuntu studio has me beat lol
[02:20] <owner> Can anyone tell me the terminal command to find out what sound card i use?
[02:20] <ritlee> anyone able to help me with a script, containing the copy command, it can be read at http://pastebin.com/iZTcCz80  contains the output i get when ran
[02:20] <puff> litatacos: Yeah, that part sounds a litle weird to me, maybe the NIC is bad or something.
[02:20] <CkhiKuzad> is the wiki unusually laggy?
[02:20] <reflexwolf> I don't have the bandwith to download it :( so I had them mail me a copy
[02:21] <ZykoticK9> ritlee, try "lspci | grep -i audio" might work
[02:21] <litatacos> thnx puff i have a feeling ill be on the right track with the stuff you gve me
[02:21] <Brandon_> i download about 6 gigs a day lol
[02:21] <puff> litatacos: Plug in the wired connection and try "sudo dhclient eth0" (or whatever your wired NIC's name is).
[02:21] <ZykoticK9> owner, try "lspci | grep -i audio" might work (sorry nic fail)
[02:21] <litatacos> im just lame and forgot how to log into my stupid router
[02:21] <puff> litatacos: that should give you at least some idea of what's happening.
[02:21] <litatacos> off to find the manual lol
[02:21] <owner> Thanks zykotick9
[02:21] <litatacos> tnx puff mucho gracias
[02:21] <puff> litatacos: Also, consider divide and conquer... try it on another network, make sure it isn't the router that's causing the problem.
[02:22] <Brandon_> Im downloading damn small linux to test, what prgram can put a .iso on a usb?
[02:22] <litatacos> i have the comp im on now using wireless so it works
[02:22] <CkhiKuzad> Brandon_ you can use Unetbootin
[02:22] <reflexwolf> brandon thats more then my whole months bandwith :(
[02:22] <CkhiKuzad> but if you have ubuntu, you can use the USB creator.
[02:22] <litatacos> the card works when i hd windows on it
[02:23] <litatacos> ive narrowed it down to me breaking it with ubuntu studio lol
[02:23] <Brandon_> ubuntu wont work and nobody wants to help, and reflex how do you live?!!?
[02:23] <CkhiKuzad> Brandon_, its under System>Administration>USB Startup Disk Creator
[02:23] <puff> litatacos: There are two sets of shell commands for activating/deactivating your network interfaces.  "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" and "sudo ifconfig wlan0 down" are one set.
[02:23] <puff> litatacos: "sudo ifup wlan0" and "sudo ifdown wlan0" are another set.
[02:23] <litatacos> ahah!!! tnx ill try tht too
[02:23] <itsux2bu> vbox has the lamest support for usb devices i've ever seen..
[02:23] <LintWad> Question: Each time I boot up it seems wireless is disabled. I can easily enable it each time, but it's getting a tad annoying. Any idea how to fix this?
[02:23] <puff> litatacos: The gotcha is, the two sets use DIFFERENT lock files.
[02:23] <Brandon_> on windows?
[02:24] <ZykoticK9> itsux2bu, you are using the version from Oracle and not from the default ubuntu repo right?
[02:24] <litatacos> lol argh!!
[02:24] <LintWad> If directed towards me, on Ubuntu.
[02:24] <reflexwolf> brandon as best I can, till I move and can get more than ATT to get brodband to my home
[02:24] <CkhiKuzad> Brandon_, if you are on windows, use Unetbootin, the startup disk creator doesnt exist on windows.
[02:24] <puff> litatacos: So you can get confused if you use, for example, "sudo ifdown wlan0" and then later try "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up", and ifconfig tells you wlan0 is *already* up.
[02:24] <itsux2bu> the way vbox handles usb devices alone is reason enough never use vbox
[02:24] <litatacos> i gotcha puff ill keep  log its just easier
[02:25] <ZykoticK9> !ot | itsux2bu
[02:25] <itsux2bu> oops.. wrong channel.. thot i was in vbox
[02:25] <puff> litatacos: Either one, however, will automatically invoke dhclient when it brings a network interface up.
[02:26] <puff> litatacos: So basically, first you turn the hardware on, then you use dhclient to broadcast a DHCP request, and then you wait for the router to send a DHCP response assigning you an address.
[02:26] <taraduffy> I seem to have a CUPS issue after an update a few days ago - things would print - all kinds of error messages lke 'cant read xref table' etc- can anyone help please?
[02:26] <puff> litatacos:  Good luck, gotta run.
[02:26] <puff> AFK.
[02:27] <litatacos> gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh wlan0 unknown interface
[02:27] <owner> Can someone help me solve my sound card issue please?

[02:34] <Tuplario> Hi, I was wondering how I can edit the "applications" menu because it seems to point to stuff which I have uninstalled already and I also want to add a couple of things. I have tried the program "menu editor" but it doesn't seem to be able to do anything other than hiding links.
[02:34] <p1und3r> Tuplario: right click "Applications" and select Edit menu
[02:35] <Tuplario> p1und3r: thanks :) that was easy enough
[02:35] <pmjp> whats up
[02:35] <p1und3r> Tuplario: np :D
[02:35] <ZykoticK9> p1und3r, hey thanks - didn't know that shortcut

[02:39] <LintWad> Question: Each time I boot up it seems wireless is disabled. I can easily enable it each time, but it's getting a tad annoying. Any idea how to fix this?
[02:40] <itsux2bu> so does each program provide its own copy/paste/cut/undo/select-all/etc... routines?
[02:40] <itsux2bu> as opposed to windows that provides them globally
[02:40] <ZykoticK9> itsux2bu, not quite "each" program - but there are a number of copy/paste mechanism running on a linux system...
[02:41] <famicube64> copy something in firefox, close it
[02:41] <famicube64> raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaage
[02:42] <p1und3r> can anyone help me out with a lsb issue

[02:44] <siOuX_> hi, i am trying to mount my external HD, and this is my output of error (http://paste.ubuntu.com/486100/)
[02:44] <itsux2bu> ZykoticK9, i also learned.. when in desktop use desktop apps.. not terminal/tty editors..
[02:44] <p1und3r> I have a binary from my college to get on their network called `Bradford_Dissolvable_Agent.bin`, when trying to run it says I need LSB 3.0 packages, I sudo apt-get install lsb-* yet it doesn't satisfy the binary

[02:44] <stegel> anyone using lucid with a dwa-140 (rt2870) usb wireless card
[02:45] <TiK> p1und3r: apt-cache search lsb
[02:45] <itsux2bu> nano has no copy/paste stuff.. or at least very little
 i do
[02:45] <p1und3r> TiK: it lists all the packages, saying I have LSB 4.0
 i have belkin with rt2870
[02:45] <ZykoticK9> itsux2bu, that was what i was referring to actually.  Highlight what you want in the terminal app - then use middle mouse button to paste :)
[02:45] <TiK> p1und3r: oh you might have to remove/downgrade :(
[02:46] <p1und3r> TiK: :(!
[02:46] <TiK> p1und3r: never get something * ;)

[02:48] <TiK> :P
[02:48] <matrix> change your card thats the best way <stegel> to make rt2870 work u need to use rt2870sta driver and u have to configurre it and even after that many times i lost network
 i stil have this card but dont use much
[02:49] <matrix> the best chip i ever had is zd1211
[02:49] <stegel> what cards come with zd1211?
[02:49] <p1und3r> TiK: yeah ill try that
 zyxel or hawking
[02:50] <stegel> thx
 always before u buy u have to check what revision etc cuz it may happen u buy card and it will have different chip than u wanted
[02:51] <matrix> if u want hawking with zd1211 u have to find rev B
[02:51] <Crankygeek> Anyone familiar with eGroupware?

[02:55] <LintWad> Question: Each time I boot up it seems wireless is disabled. I can easily enable it each time, but it's getting a tad annoying. Any idea how to fix this?
[02:55] <Nerdy3_14159265> I'm having some trouble getting flash to work I'm on 64 bit
[02:55] <lgc> How can I remotely start the VNC server? Thanks.
[02:56] <MarkSS> What package do I need to use a USB-wireless key?
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> lgc:  You can ssh in to a remote box, install a  vncserver (like tightvncserver) configure it and run it via 'vncserver'
[02:56] <cvmontuy> I am trying to install the oracle JDK
[02:56] <lelle> markss you need drivers
[02:56] <cvmontuy> I get:
[02:56] <Gnea> MarkSS: depends which one it is
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> MarkSS:  itr will depend on the exact usb-gizmo's chipset
[02:56] <lelle> markss and linux hates wireless...
[02:56] <Gnea> !wifi | MarkSS
[02:56] <LintWad> Nerdy3_14159265: http://conradmiguel.com/install-flash-player-10-on-ubuntu-10-04-64-bit-lucid-lynx worked for me. WARNING: iot'
[02:57] <LintWad> its someone elses script
[02:57] <cvmontuy> E: Package sun-java6-jdk has no installation candidate
[02:57] <LintWad> So just beware if you decide to use it.
[02:57] <Gnea> lelle: I get over 30Mb/s here with wireless
[02:57] <Nerdy3_14159265> LintWad: Could it be malicious?
[02:57] <LintWad> I haven't had any issues, but that's me.
[02:58] <Nerdy3_14159265> LintWad: I guess I'll do that then because I haven't figured it out
[02:58] <LintWad> Personally, I'm no expert. So I do not know.  I just know it worked for me.
[02:58] <Kaphonaits> Hey guys
[02:58] <Kaphonaits> Can i ask you all a question
[02:58] <melkor> cvmontuy: you have to add a repo
[02:58] <Kaphonaits> im frustrated as hell here with Ubuntu 9.04
[02:58] <Kaphonaits> The reason being is I cannot connect to the internet
[02:58] <cvmontuy> What is a repo?
[02:58] <Kaphonaits> Wired or Wireless
[02:59] <Gnea> cvmontuy: repository, where ubuntu's software is stored and retrieved from
[02:59] <Kaphonaits> i havent found anything in Ubuntu FAQs  help centres
[02:59] <Kaphonaits> etc.
[02:59] <Kaphonaits> Does anyone know wha could be going on?
[02:59] <Gnea> Kaphonaits: that's why I use 10.04
[02:59] <Kaphonaits> :P
[03:00] <Gnea> 9.04 is, well, a year old heh
[03:00] <melkor> cvmontuy: try enabling them in system->administration->software souces.
[03:00] <Kaphonaits> well yeah
[03:00] <Kaphonaits> But thats no reason for the internet to not work
 i had problem with network mgr in 9.10 so i installed wicd and no more probs
[03:00] <Gnea> Kaphonaits: it could work, but it'll take more work if it's wireless
[03:00] <Kaphonaits> Wic?
[03:00] <Kaphonaits> Wicd*
[03:00] <Kaphonaits> oh and when i tried using a cable
[03:00] <melkor> cvmontuy: other software enable the archive.canonical.com  partner.
[03:00] <Gnea> !info wicd
[03:00] <matrix> yup try it
[03:00] <Crankygeek> Anyone with eGroupware knowledge?
[03:00] <Kaphonaits> what happened was that uh
[03:00] <th0r> Kaphonaits: I would vote for wicd also for 9.04
[03:00] <Kaphonaits> Ubuntu attempted to connect
[03:00] <Kaphonaits> then failed
[03:00] <Kaphonaits> and tried over and over again
[03:00] <FloodBot2> Kaphonaits: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:01] <MarkSS> Some people have told me that USB wireless keys will sometimes be autodetected by Ubuntu...
[03:01] <Kaphonaits> Sorry. Mr.Floodbot
[03:01] <Kaphonaits> hmmm
 what do you have ?
[03:01] <matrix> what card
[03:01] <Kaphonaits> ubuntu 9.04
[03:01] <Kaphonaits> oh
[03:01] <Kaphonaits> no idea
[03:01] <matrix> ok:)
[03:01] <Kaphonaits> know how to check? :|
[03:01] <Gnea> you say it's usb, right?
[03:02] <Gnea> so look at it
[03:02] <Kaphonaits> no its not.
[03:02] <matrix> do you use usb wireless card it is laptop or desktop ?
[03:02] <Kaphonaits> Its built in apparently.
[03:02] <Kaphonaits> laptop
[03:02] <Gnea> you *SAID* USB-wireless
[03:02] <Kaphonaits> dammit sorry
[03:02] <Kaphonaits> wasnt paying attention.
[03:02] <MarkSS> Swakrop.  USB-wireless key
[03:02] <Gnea> ah
[03:02] <melkor> Kaphonaits: is the laptop wireless switch on?
[03:02] <Gnea> well, sorry
[03:02] <Gnea> Kaphonaits: open a terminal, type lsusb
[03:02] <erdnase> Kaphonaits, I think lspci will do the trick.
[03:02] <CkhiKuzad> you're on windows Kaphonaits, according to the version.
[03:02] <Kaphonaits> oh its okay Gnea.
[03:02] <Gnea> if it's not there, try lspci
[03:02] <Kaphonaits> yeah
[03:02] <lee_> I want to download a program and I need higher libraries 2.6?
[03:02] <Kaphonaits> Im on Windows at the moment but I'd rather be in Ubuntu (hehe :3)
[03:03] <Kaphonaits> so
[03:03] <lee_> python 2.6 how do I go about downloading it
[03:03] <Gnea> no really? :p
[03:03] <Kaphonaits> lsusb or lspci
[03:03] <Gnea> try both
[03:03] <erdnase> Kaphonaits, run lspci if it isn't usb.
[03:03] <Gnea> see what happens
[03:03] <Kaphonaits> all right.
[03:03] <melkor> lee_: which ubuntu it should come with python 2.6
[03:03] <Kaphonaits> I'll be back.
[03:03] <lgc> Dr_Willis: The thing is the screen of my laptop went black for good and I can only access it via ssh. After your answer I've been searching for a server and I don't think I have one. I have Vinagre and Xvncviewer, it seems....................................................................................................................................................................
 yup as <Gnea> said if your card is inside laptop u have button to switch it on and off
[03:03] <IdleOne> !enter | Kaphonaits
[03:03] <Gnea> erdnase: better that he learns them both
[03:03] <cvmontuy> melkor: Thanks a lot it is installing now
[03:04] <Gnea> matrix: please stop putting <>'s around nicknames, that's annoying and hard to read
[03:04] <lee_> melkor: its a program called Torrent Search
[03:04] <matrix> ok:)
[03:04] <lee_> melkor: i'm using ubuntu 9.10
[03:04] <matrix> Gnea,
[03:04] <Gnea> or Gnea:
[03:04] <erdnase> Gnea, well, oh right.
[03:04] <max> jenteee
[03:04] <lee_> melkor: it's requiring some libraries I don't have in my synaptic packet manager
[03:05] <Gnea> matrix: it also makes it easier for people to read you when you address them directly. most clients see the <> and don't do the colorization, so more times than not your message gets ignored
[03:05] <lee_> melkor: so I wanted to know how do I download some of these dependecies
[03:05] <matrix> Gnea,  i know
[03:05] <Gnea> matrix: then don't do it on purpose. :)
[03:05] <matrix> i dont just it is more easy for me cuz everything i have to do it to press tab
[03:06] <Crankygeek> Amyone familiar with the setup of eGroupware?
[03:06] <Gnea> !ask | Crankygeek
[03:08] <Crankygeek> I installed Dovecot and have eGroupware installed, but when I try to connect the egroupware to the Dovecot server I am getting an authentication issue.....any ideas?
[03:08] <Gnea> Crankygeek: are you sure dovecot is setup correctly?
[03:09] <Crankygeek> No, I am not sure, I have it setup correctly
[03:09] <Crankygeek> Not really sure where to go with it
[03:10] <Gnea> well, dovecot is usually used for email connections, so you're probably better off making sure to read a dovecot tutorial and get it working properly so your email is setup right, then dive into the egroupware
[03:10] <Kaphonaits> okay gentlemen
[03:10] <Kaphonaits> im back

[03:12] <Gnea> 06:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8172 (rev 10)
[03:12] <Kaphonaits> I'm gonna guess here
[03:12] <Kaphonaits> I probably need to DL drivers in windows and throw them on my Ubuntu HD
[03:12] <Kaphonaits> HDD*
[03:12] <Kaphonaits> or install Ubuntu 10
[03:13] <Gnea> that's probably going to be the case
[03:13] <MrPockets> Trying to write a script.  Starting line is   :start    then  run somecommand    then goto  :start  , is how it'd look in batch
[03:13] <Kaphonaits> So Gnea
[03:13] <Gnea> so, you should look for that card/chipset on the wifi page
[03:13] <Kaphonaits> whats your offical 'idea' of the situation
[03:13] <Kaphonaits> okay
[03:13] <Kaphonaits> Frankly
[03:13] <Kaphonaits> I have no idea what the hell the card is called from this report
[03:13] <Gnea> well see
[03:13] <francy> ciao
[03:13] <Kaphonaits> i assume its Intel Corporation Device somethingSomething
[03:14] <francy> !lista
[03:14] <Kaphonaits> but you know :|
[03:14] <Ademan> MrPockets: you want #bash, but probably while true; do somecommand; done
[03:14] <Gnea> there are 2 'Network controller' listed. one says it's a Gigabit Ethernet, which means it's wired, not wifi, thereby leaving the only other one as wifi.
[03:14] <Kaphonaits> Righto
[03:14] <MrPockets> k
[03:14] <MrPockets> mm
[03:14] <Gnea> since gigabit wireless does not exist :)
[03:14] <Kaphonaits> Realtek Semiconductor?
[03:14] <lgc> I can't connect to my remote machine via Vinagre How can I check if the remote server is working?
[03:14] <kad_> how to specify where is my mailbox using : mutt ?
[03:14] <Gnea> Device 8172 - remember that
[03:15] <Kaphonaits> okay thanks
[03:15] <MrPockets> Ademan, basically, i wanbt the script to run a command, and then it's finished, run the same command again
[03:15] <Kaphonaits> can you link me to the ubuntu wifi driver page?
[03:15] <Gnea> !wifi
[03:15] <Gnea> :)
[03:15] <Kaphonaits> thanks
[03:15] <Gnea> np
[03:16] <Sovereign> how do i find /home/sidney/.VirtualBox/Machines/
[03:16] <netrider> hi all!
[03:17] <Gnea> Sovereign: it seems you already have.
[03:17] <splnet> How do you blacklist a driver?
[03:17] <dsirijus> ubuntu install fails on selecting 'Large selection of font packages'
[03:17] <lgc> Need a VNC-knowledgeable fellow.
[03:17] <Gnea> !blacklist
[03:17] <Ademan> MrPockets: yes, the command I showed you should do that, forever
[03:17] <MrPockets> cool, i'll play with it
[03:17] <Sovereign> no that is the path but i cant find the folder
[03:17] <MrPockets> thanks
[03:17] <dsirijus> what would that 'Large selection of font packages' be, so i can install when i boot to gnome?
[03:18] <Kaphonaits> so according to this page: http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_chipset.php?chipset=Realtek
[03:18] <Kaphonaits> There is no Semiconductor or 8172
[03:18] <andresj> hey, if I set permissions on a file in an NTFS system, reboot to Windows, then reboot to Linux, will my permissions be the same?
[03:18] <IdleOne> Sovereign: if you mean in nautilus, hit ctrl+h to show the hidden folders /.VirtualBox is hidden
[03:18] <Kaphonaits> So Gnea
[03:18] <Kaphonaits> Should I upgrade to Ubuntu 10 or something?
[03:18] <smallfoot-> you should run 10.04
[03:19] <netrider> does anyone know how to configure webex connect on ubuntu?
[03:19] <smallfoot-> in october, 10.10 gets released
[03:19] <Gnea> Kaphonaits: let's see then, it's a laptop, right? what's the make/model?
[03:19] <smallfoot-> then you may upgrade if you wish
[03:19] <Kaphonaits> yeah
[03:19] <Sovereign> IdleOne: thanks found it
[03:19] <IdleOne> Sovereign: sure thing.
[03:19] <Kaphonaits> its manufactured by iBUYPOWER, and it is a W76CU
[03:20] <Sovereign> seems everything was hidden
[03:20] <tracy69> Kaphonaits,  ibuypower ???
[03:20] <IdleOne> Sovereign: :) many folders are
[03:20] <Kaphonaits> never heard of them?
[03:20] <tracy69> no
[03:20] <Kaphonaits> ibuypower.com
[03:20] <tracy69> :)
[03:20] <Kaphonaits> Great gaming PCs at super low prices n such etc.
[03:20] <Kaphonaits> better than Alienware

[03:21] <IdleOne> !enter | Kaphonaits
[03:21] <tracy69> Kaphonaits,  i have msi gt725
[03:21] <tracy69> it is the best
[03:21] <smallfoot-> i build my own computer, cuz im a pro and dont need some jerk to build a computer for me
[03:21] <smallfoot-> i build my computer with my own manly hands
[03:21] <Kaphonaits> Hehe
[03:21] <Kaphonaits> I'd build my own computer if I had the time and experience
[03:21] <smallfoot-> then i can pick my own components
[03:21] <Kaphonaits> bleh were getting offtopic
[03:21] <smallfoot-> and i know what stuff to pic
[03:21] <Kaphonaits> anyway
[03:21] <smallfoot-> ya
[03:21] <dsirijus> offtopic is good
[03:22] <Kaphonaits> What i need to know is if there are drivers for the Realtek 8172
[03:22] <Kaphonaits> wireless card
[03:22] <sleepy_> sup
[03:22] <Kaphonaits> Huh.
[03:22] <Kaphonaits> Look at that
[03:23] <splnet> Kaphonaits: check here: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices
[03:23] <sleepy_> sooo im gunna dual boot ubuntu is it easy to delete the partiton i make if i decide too?
[03:23] <Flannel> sleepy_: To "un" dualboot?  Yeah, easy to do.
[03:23] <Kaphonaits> Theres nothing there splnet
[03:23] <tracy69> Kaphonaits,  so you found u have rtl8172 ? :)
[03:23] <Kaphonaits> wait what
[03:23] <tracy69> i found tutorial for you
[03:23] <dsirijus> sleepy_: resizing is harder
[03:23] <Kaphonaits> hm
[03:23] <tracy69> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1377532
[03:23] <sleepy_> ahh ok
[03:24] <Kaphonaits> a driver*
[03:24] <Kaphonaits> realtek has adrier :o
[03:24] <Flannel> sleepy_: The only caveat is your bootloader.  Do you have a windows recovery CD to replace your MBR?
[03:24] <Dxic2k> Serv
[03:24] <sleepy_> i have a burned win 7 cd
[03:24] <Kaphonaits> Ah, see
[03:24] <Kaphonaits> heres the thing
[03:24] <Kaphonaits> Wired doesnt work either in Ubuntu
[03:24] <Flannel> sleepy_: That'll do it, yeah.
[03:24] <test34> sleepy_, is it calling home
[03:24] <sleepy_> ok what about the acyivation key?
[03:24] <sleepy_> same one?
[03:24] <IdleOne> Kaphonaits: ease up on the ENTER key, you are going to wear it out.
[03:24] <CkhiKuzad> sleepy_ you dont need it.
[03:24] <sleepy_> ok

[03:25] <Kaphonaits> tracy69: Will Ubuntu automatically connect to the closest/best wireless network?
[03:25] <Kaphonaits> Thanks Gnea!
[03:25] <CkhiKuzad> it's going to reinstall the master boot record, not reinstall the whole thing
[03:25] <Flannel> sleepy_: You won't need to reinstall, just restore the bootloader portions (I believe in windows 7 it'll be called 'repair')
[03:25] <lgc> Need a VNC-knowledgeable fellow to lend me their expertise. Anyone?
[03:25] <dsirijus> sleepy_: fixmbr
[03:25] <Kaphonaits> There we go
[03:25] <Kaphonaits> Looks like the solution is to load up Ubuntu 10 Lucid
[03:25] <Ademan> !ask | lgc
[03:26] <sleepy_> im reading up on it now
[03:26] <Kaphonaits> Thanks everyone. I'll be back in an hour or two if things dont go over well.
[03:26] <Kaphonaits> Cheers.
[03:26] <sleepy_> google FTW
[03:26] <dsirijus> wow, ppl here are obsessed with formatting of messages
[03:26] <IdleOne> dsirijus: that's right I am.
[03:26] <dsirijus> who really cares :P
[03:26] <IdleOne> I do.
[03:26] <lgc> I wish there weren't so many acolytes of the etiquette. They only make the place more unbearable.
[03:26] <jimk> hello,im using ubuntu lucid on my dell inspiron laptop..if i dont use the laptop for some time or im watching a youtube video,the screen gets locked automatically..is there a way to prevent that ?
[03:26] <Gnea> dsirijus: most of us.
[03:26] <dsirijus> :D
[03:27] <dsirijus> then these single line smilies annoy you?
[03:27] <tracy69> kaphonaits i use wicd so when i mark connect auto it connect to the same network every time i boot up ubuntu
[03:27] <AegNuddel> I installed a program called GNOME Split.  Now, after I installed it, Nautilus won't start up.
[03:27] <dsirijus> ;)
[03:27] <Gnea> lgc: better to be understood than not. we try not to be nasty about it, although I understand there are those that are. They need to change.
[03:28] <AegNuddel> Going to see if uninstalling works
[03:28] <lgc> Gnea, I totally agree.
[03:28] <AegNuddel> Ok no such luck
[03:28] <jimk> any way to stop the screen from getting locked automatically ?
[03:28] <undifined> don't annoy people at 4.30 am
[03:28] <Gnea> jimk: turn it off
[03:29] <AegNuddel> Nautilus keeps freezing up
[03:29] <splnet> jimk: disable your screensaver
[03:29] <jimk> splnet: ok
[03:29] <tracy69> undifined where are you from? dont you never sleep ?
[03:29] <undifined> NL
[03:29] <tracy69> ok:) hi
[03:30] <undifined> yes occasionally
[03:30] <jimk> splnet: thanks :)
[03:30] <^james_foo^> well, at this point: how to debug why the screen power doesn't get switched off? it only goes to shiny black...
[03:30] <lgc> So here I go again: I am having trouble connecting to my remote machine with VNC. What can i do? It seems my VNC server is active, but there seems to be trouble with X11 authentication (on the client side, I suppose).
[03:30] <splnet> lgc: what is the error?
[03:31] <lgc> splnet: X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
[03:31] <melkor> exit
[03:31] <melkor> exit
[03:31] <kad_> Does DNS Server here save a DNS Local Cache and if yes where?
[03:31] <melkor> sorry, it was on another monitor
[03:31] <splnet> lgc: how do you start vnc on the server?
[03:32] <lgc> splnet: /usr/bin/tightvncserver.
[03:32] <usuario> hola
[03:33] <splnet> lgc: ok so on the client how do you start  vncviewer?
[03:33] <AegNuddel> sometimes the home folder shows up at first but after that it grays out
[03:34] <lgc> splnet: I invoke Vinagre from the menu, if that's what you're asking.
[03:34] <AegNuddel> would it hurt my files if I put apt-get uninstall nautilus?
[03:34] <AegNuddel> or
[03:34] <splnet> lgc try from the command line: vncview server:1
[03:34] <AegNuddel> I mean remove
[03:34] <splnet> vncviewer I mean
[03:35] <lgc> splnet: there's no such command, seemingly. It suggests me some installs instead.
[03:35] <splnet> lgc install it
[03:36] <lgc> splnet: you mean instead of or in addition of Vinagre?
[03:36] <splnet> lgc in addition to
[03:40] <lgc> splnet: I already did. The instruction you suggested, vncviewer server:1 came up with "main:        unable to connect to host: Connection timed out (110)"
[03:41] <splnet> lgc ok server:1 correlates to your server tcp port 5901.
[03:41] <splnet> lgc: try telnet server 5901
[03:41] <pseudosmart> I only have 2 resolutions available to me in 10.04, 800 x 600 and 640x480. Does anyone know how to add screen resolutions? I've tried xrandr, but it doesn't seem to be working
[03:41] <freezway> hey, I hooked up lmms to jack, but volume doesn't work. How do I adjust?
[03:43] <lgc> splnet: "Trying <IP_ADDRESS>..."" and then timeout.
[03:44] <splnet> lgc: ok so vncserver isn't running properly or something
[03:44] <splnet> on your server 'netstat -na | grep 59'
[03:44] <Crankygeek> I need to edit a file but I don't want to change permissions on the file, is there a way to edit it in X without having to chane the owner?
[03:45] <lgc> splnet: That's what i began with.
[03:45] <[sleepy]> ok worst thing that could happen in a dual boot? lol
[03:46] <lgc> splnet: was that for me?
[03:47] <Crankygeek> I need to edit a file but I don't want to change permissions on the file, is there a way to edit it in X without having to change the owner? I know other distros let you log in as root, but how do I elevate my privs while using gnome?
[03:48] <undifined> Crankygeek, sudo
[03:48] <lgc> splnet: tcp        0      0 <IP_ADDRESS>:5901            <IP_ADDRESS>:*    LISTEN
[03:48] <Crankygeek> yes, but I can't use that while in gnome, that would be from a terminal correct?
[03:49] <undifined> Crankygeek, gksu
[03:49] <zkriesse_> !pastebin
[03:49] <Crankygeek> Is there anyway to do it while using the X11 gui?
[03:49] <splnet> lgc: firewall? maybe setup an ssh tunnel is what I would recommend
[03:49] <undifined> Crankygeek, gksu
[03:49] <Crankygeek> ok, I will try it, thanks
[03:49] <splnet> Crankygeek: xterm
[03:50] <lgc> splnet: I tried to tunnel it via the same machine, to no avail.
[03:50] <gentleman_> please can someone me out
[03:50] <sleepy_> Sup
[03:50] <sleepy_> Dualbooting now
[03:50] <sleepy_> :)
[03:50] <splnet> lgc: you lost me
[03:51] <sleepy_> Worst that can happen in a dual boot?
[03:51] <sh228> got to go
[03:51] <splnet> lgc from client ssh user@server -L 5901:localhost:5901 ; vncclient localhost:1
[03:51] <gentleman_> kann someone tell me how to open afc ptotokoll with kde delphin
[03:51] <lgc> splnet: I tried to tunnel the desktop of the remote machine via the ssh server of the same remote machine. But it failed to create the tunnel.
[03:52] <sleepy_> Holy shit live cds take ages to boot
 yup i tried to boot ubuntu 9.10 on commodore and it took me 24h
[03:53] <sleepy_> Lol
[03:54] <sleepy_> Installing now
[03:54] <lgc> splnet: The first part of the instructions string did work, and I ended up with an ssh session to the remote.
 than i bought msigt725 and to boot ubuntu from live usb took me 1 min installation 3min
[03:54] <splnet> lgc: man ssh
[03:55] <sleepy_> wtf I have a windows vista loader AND win 7 loader?
[03:55] <gentleman_> hallo please can you help me out
[03:55] <pseudosmart> Does anyone know how to add higher screen resolutions to System>Preferences>Monitors?
[03:55] <Gnea> !patience
[03:56] <gentleman_> how kann i open afc:// with kde delphin
[03:56] <lgc> splnet: I do know ssh. But the second part of the instruction is not locally executable. But remotely.
[03:57] <sleepy_> Let's seee...
[03:57] <sleepy_> Ill go 90gb
[03:57] <tieinv> smart: system > preferences > monitors > resolution
[03:57] <splnet> lgc no. all of that should be run on your client
[03:58] <splnet> lgc either add -f flag our have two xterm windows
[03:58] <lgc> It seems quite impossible (correct me if I'm wrong).
[03:59] <lgc> splnet: Where does the -f flag go?
[03:59] <splnet> lgc again man ssh
[03:59] <gentleman_> please can some tell me how to open afc protokol with kde delphin
[03:59] <sleepy_> How long does partitoning take?
[03:59] <CkhiKuzad> from 5 seconds to hours
[04:00] <sleepy_> Damn it
[04:00] <Muscovy> sleepy_: Depends on exactly what's happening. Seconds to hours.
[04:00] <Muscovy> Huh, beaten.
[04:00] <CkhiKuzad> yep
[04:00] <sleepy_> Well I have time
[04:00] <CkhiKuzad> its how i roll, dawg
[04:00] <Datz> hi, it seems as though cron isn't working on my system. Can someone help me out with a diagnosis?
[04:00] <CkhiKuzad> i recommend that if you are partitioning something that isnt the drive you are on, read the zombie survival guide.
[04:00] <CkhiKuzad> never too early to be prepared for the zombie apocalypse.
[04:01] <gentleman_> how kann i open afc:// with kde delphin
[04:01] <Muscovy> Could someone tell me how to tell if dpkg/apt is running? I'm making a script that needs to know if it is.
[04:01] <rallias> does anyone know for sure if Asterisk is compatible with the phone port on a computer?
[04:01] <lgc> splnet: ssh ratona.homelinux.org -f -L 5901:localhost:5901 ; vncviewer localhost:1
[04:01] <Gnea> !patience > gentleman_
[04:01] <embeded> ?
[04:01] <lgc> splnet: Cannot fork into background without a command to execute.
[04:03] <splnet> lgc:  ssh ratona.homelinux.org -f -L 5901:localhost:5901 "sleep 3600" ;  vncviewer localhost:1
[04:04] <lgc> splnet: Get serious, man.
[04:04] <embeded> what
[04:05] <splnet> lgc: did it work?
[04:05] <gentleman_> can someone here help me out please
[04:05] <rallias> gentelman_ what is your question?
[04:05] <embeded> I'll come back...
[04:05] <lgc> splnet: You really think me that stupid?
[04:05] <gentleman_> How can i open
[04:05] <MS-DOS_300PL> dog farts!
[04:05] <gentleman_> afc protokol
[04:06] <gentleman_> on kde dolphin
[04:06] <rallias> AFC, thats the thing that macs use, right?
[04:06] <xangua> gentleman_: delphin¿ tried to ask in #kubuntu ¿
[04:06] <dan86> quick question: is there a way to have ubuntu automatically mount my windows drive when i boot?
[04:06] <gentleman_> yes
[04:06] <rallias> ok... let me dig up an old guide that I used to use...
[04:06] <splnet> lgc: do you know ath that command does? believe it or not I use that all the time
[04:06] <dan86> ..and how do i do it?
[04:06] <Gnea> gentleman_: I told you before: please check ubuntuforums.org, don't ask so often, you're nearly spamming the channel. no one is going to respect that.
[04:06] <olskolirc> in system settings dan86 click which drives you want to start on each boot
[04:06] <Muscovy> dan86: Might not be a right way, but you could put a mount command in /etc/rc.local.
[04:06] <gentleman_> ok
[04:07] <gentleman_> gnome Nautilus is able to do that
[04:07] <olskolirc> hes too new for the Muscovy
[04:07] <lgc> splnet: I know what you imply by "sleep 3600".
[04:07] <Muscovy> Whoops. :P
[04:07] <dan86> olskolirc first day with linux...
[04:07] <dan86> sorry
[04:07] <dan86> system menu, preferences?
[04:07] <olskolirc> im on Kubuntu dan86 so I don't know where your system preferences are but thats where you would go
[04:08] <olskolirc> snoop around in there
[04:08] <splnet> lgc: heh and what is that? Why don't you explain? Obviously you have no clue and are wasting my time
[04:08] <dan86> anyone know?
[04:08] <olskolirc> system preferenced dan86
[04:08] <muelli> dan86: to have partitions automatically mounted, edit /etc/fstab.
[04:08] <rallias> gentelman_ i'm sorry I can't get an http connection out of my internet.
[04:09] <gentleman_> umm so you can't help me out
[04:09] <zkriesse_> splnet: Be polite
[04:09] <zkriesse_> splnet: Do NOT treat those seeking/giving help with a rude demeanor
[04:09] <rallias> gentleman_ i'm trying
[04:09] <Datz> hi, it seems as though cron isn't working on my system. Can someone help me to get it working?
[04:09] <dan86> muelli can you be a little more specific. my apologies first day with linux.  the drive i want auto mounted is /media/Toshiba U-305
[04:09] <gentleman_> ok
[04:09] <zkriesse_> !patience | gentleman_
[04:09] <rallias> gentleman_ i know what exactly you're trying you just need to install an extra command
[04:10] <lgc> splnet: You've been wasting my time, in that case: The only point you've proved is that you prefer the command line.  Way to go!
[04:10] <muelli> dan86: You are very welcome to ask :-) Let me try. But it's kinda dangerous. So do you mind me asking *why* you want your windows partition to be mounted in first place?
[04:10] <splnet> zkriesse_: point taken. I'm actually trying to help this dude. Apparently doesn't want my help.
[04:10] <rallias> !language lgc
[04:10] <dan86> muelli i use a program called ps3 media server
[04:10] <dan86> to share media
[04:10] <dan86> i guess i will just move it all
[04:11] <dan86> to my external if it's dangerous
[04:11] <muelli> dan86: (use Rygel ;-)  but that's offtopic)
[04:11] <rallias> gentleman_ let me set up tor so i can reach the outer world
[04:11] <gentleman_> ok let me see if i can get this packge on synaptic
[04:12] <lgc> rallias: what's your problem with my language? Do you find it offensive?  Go bug someone else and offer some help for a change.
[04:12] <datex> How do I update netbeans from 6.8 to 6.9? apt-get install netbeans says I have newest version when I don't...
[04:12] <splnet> lgc: ok  last time. The "sleep 3600" sets up the ssh tunnel to run in the background for one hour. Thats all it does. So.. there you have it
[04:12] <zkriesse_> lgc: What is your issue
[04:12] <rallias> lgc that is what I am trying.
[04:13] <IdleOne> datex: you have the newest version available in the repositories
[04:13] <lgc> splnet: Cannot fork into background without a command to execute. Either 0 or 3600 seconds the result won't differ. But you have a point there.
[04:13] <rallias> gentleman_: AFC you said?
[04:14] <gentleman_> yes
[04:14] <lgc> zkriesse: Don't ask me. Just read.
[04:14] <muelli> hm dan86. I wonder why it's not mounted automatically *thinking*
[04:14] <muelli> dan86: how do you know it's not mounted?
[04:14] <Gnea> !attitude > lgc
[04:14] <rallias> gentleman_ is it a filesystem or is it a network connection?
[04:14] <splnet> zkriesse_: he's trying to setup an ssh tunnel. I explained he can setup a tunnel as follows: ssh ratona.homelinux.org -f -L 5901:localhost:5901 "sleep 3600" . Apparently he doesn't like this method or something.. no idea
[04:14] <gentleman_> is a file system
[04:14] <rallias> an Ipod?
[04:14] <gentleman_> yes
[04:15] <rallias> Ok now you're making sense
[04:15] <muelli> dan86: whenever you attach that device, it should be mounted automatically to that location you pointed out.
[04:15] <gentleman_> hehe
[04:15] <zkriesse_> lgc: Cool it dude...you're pushin the envelope...
[04:15] <Gnea> zkriesse_: ...
[04:15] <zkriesse_> lgc: This is a volunteer effort...we're not supermen
[04:15] <undifined> !vnc
[04:15] <lgc> Gnea: That's exactly what I meant by "acolytes of the etiquette" an hour ago. Too many patrons here to censor what others write quite unduly.
[04:15] <rallias> gentleman_ what version of ubuntu do you have?
[04:16] <gentleman_> 9.10
[04:16] <IdleOne> splnet: lgc zkriesse Please let's all relax and get back to the issue.
[04:16] <rallias> upgrade to 10.04. It has compatibility out of the box
[04:16] <gentleman_> i have problem with my graffik card
[04:16] <plouffe> all I'm trying to figure out is how to pronounce zkriesse
[04:16] <gentleman_> 10.4
[04:16] <zkriesse_> IdleOne: ....
[04:16] <gentleman_> do not soupport
[04:17] <rallias> gentleman_ what company made the graphics card?
[04:17] <gentleman_> my card correctly
[04:17] <lgc> zkriesse_: The "issue", if there was ever one, was calmly resolved with the two parts involved. No need of officious contenders.
[04:17] <gentleman_> Nvidia 9200M
[04:17] <Gnea> lgc: your tone indicates that you're more ready to smash your monitor than you are to calmly listen and troubleshoot the problem effectively. perhaps some time AFK and a drink of koolaid would help put things into perspective?
[04:17] <zkriesse_> lgc: Ok then...just be nice(er) please :)
[04:17] <gentleman_> Notebook
[04:17] <gentleman_> vesion
[04:18] <undifined> !ask | gentleman_
[04:19] <lgc> Gnea: The issue is an old one: Officious contenders! Let's make the place friendlier! Jeez, that's why #ubuntu is reputedly an intimidating place to be!
[04:19] <IdleOne> lgc: drop it now. please
[04:19] <Gnea> lgc: what's more important to you right now: solving the computer problem, or continuing an offtopic discussion?
[04:19] <CkhiKuzad> Agreed.
[04:19] <CkhiKuzad> with IdleOne
[04:20] <dt_> hi, i'm having trouble removing mysqld from autostarting on ubuntu. any idea ?
[04:20] <lgc> Gnea: You got a point. But I keep being attacked and bullied for
[04:20] <dt_> i've tried rc-update remove, tried sysv-rc-conf
[04:20] <pseudosmart> does nobody know how to add higher screen resolutions to 10.04?
[04:20] <dt_> nothing works
[04:20] <dt_> it still starts /usr/bin/mysqld
[04:20] <sleepy_> Damnnn
[04:21] <IdleOne> lgc: The point right now is that you are continuing with this offtopic discussion that can only serve to cause more tension. Please stop now.
[04:21] <lgc> Gnea: ...something quite menial and unjust, by the way.
[04:21] <Gnea> lgc: no one's attacking or bullying you, you're just reading it as such. you're all stressed out and you probably could use a break for awhile. no one's mad at you, we just want to help.
[04:21] <datex> You linux guys are so nice <3
[04:21] <rallias> gentleman_ in System -> Administration -> Software sources, goto other sources, and add the line "ppa ppa:pmcenery/ppa" (no quotes). Close this program, making sure to save. Then go into System -> Administration ->
[04:22] <rallias> Synaptic, click refresh, and install libimobiledevice0 . Then do a complete restart of your computer. This should work for you.
[04:22] <Fudge> is there any kind of wine emulation in a cojmmand line?
[04:22] <sleepy_> My partiton failed wtf?
[04:22] <Gnea> lgc: but sometimes the best way to help yourself is to step away for awhile and come back. I do it often.
[04:22] <xangua> Fudge: you mean dos¿
[04:22] <gentleman_> jooo
[04:22] <muelli> Fudge: hm? you can run wine from the tmerinal...
[04:22] <CkhiKuzad> i've had problems, and got to the point of being as angry as you, lgc. i said some stuff i shouldn't have, but later when i cooled off i apologized.
[04:23] <Fudge> I want to run mirc from a terminal outside of gnome
[04:23] <sleepy_> Anyone know why my patition failed?
[04:23] <muelli> sleepy_: what failed?!
[04:23] <rallias> sleepy_ try a reboot
[04:23] <muelli> !details | sleepy_
[04:23] <plouffe> you're currently in #theubuntucouch
[04:23] <benbloom> for some reason one of my partitions is owned by root when it automounts but the other ones (same options in fstab) are owned by my user, I'm sure there's a simple solution. anyone know it ? thanks in advance
[04:23] <dt_> aha, postfix was starting mysqld
[04:24] <muelli> Fudge: just do it then :-) wine "C:\\Program Files\\mIRC\\ ..."
[04:24] <sleepy_> I was partitoning in the ubuntu installer and it failed out
[04:24] <sleepy_> I'm rebooting widows now
[04:24] <CJoerun> NO!
[04:24] <lgc> IdleOne, Gnea, I've received about 20 reprimands in various tones from different persons who shouldn't be fueling a petty quarrel. Alas, this mood is quite common in the channel. And I've been around for years! Please. people, let it go! The channel doesn't need officious contenders! END OF THE DISCUSSION.
[04:24] <tracy69> sleepy_,  yup let him rest
[04:24] <sleepy_> Ok
[04:24] <CJoerun> :( i cry every time i see a user run back to windows
[04:24] <rallias> sleepy_ danger your partition broke allready, so Windows won't boot
[04:25] <mikeru> hey
[04:25] <CkhiKuzad> what all do i have to do to be able to get a new ShipIt CD after i have gotten one?
[04:25] <Fudge> muelli  ill try it
[04:25] <mikeru> I've been told it's not worth it to install ubuntu amd64 if I won't use more than 3-4GB of RAM
[04:25] <mikeru> since it will use more memory and be slower
[04:25] <sleepy_> it didnt partiton anything never left 0 %
[04:25] <mikeru> OH wait nevermind
[04:25] <mikeru> :P
[04:25] <bsmith093> is there a way to search for large groups of *nearly* exact matches among a huge amount (19GB) of text files
[04:26] <IdleOne> CkhiKuzad: they send one per release. you can buy a cd from shop.canonical.com
 for 32 is no much support so less for 64
[04:26] <muelli> bsmith093: read "man find"
[04:26] <CkhiKuzad> alright. then i just have to wait until october.
[04:26] <CkhiKuzad> thanks IdleOne.
[04:26] <gentleman_> thanks i'wll try that now
[04:26] <gentleman_> ppa ppa:pmcenery/ppa ist not a standard pakge source
[04:26] <gentleman_> i need the source link
[04:26] <gentleman_> i also have libimobiledevice0 installed
[04:26] <FloodBot2> gentleman_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:27] <bsmith093> CkhiKuzad: or you could just download and burn the iso of the distro u want
[04:27] <sleepy_> rallias win7 is booting now :)
[04:27] <Josesordo> Hello all
[04:27] <rallias> ... i don't no how
[04:27] <benbloom> for some reason one of my partitions is owned by root when it automounts but the other ones (same options in fstab) are owned by my user, I'm sure there's a simple solution. anyone know it ? thanks in advance
[04:27] <moon`> when you do a /whois on a given person and their domain comes up how do you change that so it doesn't give the long version.  i.e. mine is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>|  How would I change that to like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[04:27] <Josesordo> I have a big problem with my compiz :(
[04:28] <xangua> gentleman_: if you are trying to add a ppa use: sudo add-apt-repository "ppa's name"
[04:28] <lgc> bsmith093: Ever used "grep"?
[04:28] <soreau> Josesordo: What's wrong?
[04:28] <IdleOne> moon`: do you own moon.net domain?
[04:28] <Gnea> lgc: I've been around for years too, but you don't see me going around calling people names, do you?
[04:28] <moon`> IdleOne: no
[04:28] <undifined> !gpg
[04:29] <moon`> IdleOne: let's say I did though
[04:29] <Josesordo> I did something yesterday.. that now, my desktop cube or another effects run with 5fps :( but another run well
[04:29] <Gnea> didn't think so, so yeah, back to what I was doing...
[04:29] <sleepy_> Anyone know why my partiton failed?
[04:29] <CkhiKuzad> what would be a good programming language to learn to make useful programs for ubuntu?
[04:29] <cccasket> moon: you can edit that info with the domain registrar usually
[04:29] <moon`> IdleOne: let's say I wanted to have it as moon.moon?
[04:29] <gentleman_> i allrady have libimobiledevice0 installed i can my ipod throug
[04:29] <bastidrazor> benbloom: possibly look at the permissions/ownership of the directory it is mounted to?
[04:29] <gentleman_> Nautilus
[04:30] <gentleman_> but not with delphin
[04:30] <IdleOne> moon`: that would be a custom cloak/vhost ask in #freenode but I dount they will do it for you
[04:30] <IdleOne> doubt*
[04:30] <gentleman_> thats my problem
[04:30] <moon`> IdleOne: where would I find literature on something like that to do it myself?
[04:30] <Fudge> muelli  it wants X, are you aware of any mods that can allow a console to run it?
[04:30] <moon`> or where should I look rather?
[04:30] <jjgalvez__> does anyone know how to edit the default note in Gnote, I want a blank default, and every time I remove the default text it seems to come back
[04:31] <Josesordo> in compiz fusion icon is using loose binding..and I cant desactivated
[04:31] <muelli> Fudge: sorry, no. that doesn't work at all. There area loads of console IRC clients though. irssi, bitchx, weechat, bitlbee, ...
[04:31] <Josesordo> I think my Xorg is broken :(
[04:31] <lgc> bsmith093: You there?
[04:31] <zeknox> Josesordo: move your xorg.conf file
[04:32] <fililoco> hi i have a problem with my network card, it disconect and reconect at random times, but when it happens i lost connection im runnig ubuntu 10.4 some advices?
[04:32] <Fudge> yeah muelli  i am using irssi, just hoped that wine would work in a console as orca is not comaptible with it in gnome
 what card ?
[04:32] <Josesordo> but Im using ubuntu 10.04 LTS and this distro dont have that file..I guess
[04:32] <zeknox> fililoco: have you checked out system -> admin -> hardware drivers ?
[04:32] <fililoco> r8169
[04:33] <muelli> Fudge: erm. Nothing will be compatible with anything emulated in WINE I'm afraid.
[04:33] <benbloom> bastidrazor, I tried that. do you (or anyone else) know where permissions of mounts are inherrited from?
[04:33] <zeknox> Josesordo: tell me if you have a file located at /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[04:33] <fililoco> zeknox yes i chek it but only the ati drivers are for install
[04:34] <gentleman_> someone there?
[04:34] <Josesordo> zeknox: I dont have it
[04:34] <zeknox> fililoco: is it eth0 or wlan0?
[04:34] <bastidrazor> benbloom: fstab
[04:34] <fililoco> eth0
[04:34] <zeknox> Josesordo: you running gnome then?
[04:34] <zeknox> fililoco: run lspci and pastebin the results
[04:35] <zeknox> fililoco: actually lspic -v might be nice also
[04:35] <Josesordo> yes, but I dont think is running perfectly
[04:35] <zeknox> Josesordo: what type of issues?  what did you modify recently?
[04:36] <Josesordo> the only think I did yesterday.. was set a GRUB background image, and set a boot screen with plymouth..
[04:36] <Josesordo> but I installed something..I guess that is the issue

[04:39] <Josesordo> zeknox:http://paste.ubuntu.com/486139/
[04:39] <zeknox> Josesordo: why did you run this sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-1.7.6-gc
[04:40] <zeknox> Josesordo: did you read that from a tutorial or something?
[04:40] <fililoco_> here is the resul of lspci http://pastebin.com/NWzhfJBh
[04:40] <Josesordo> yeah, I followed a random blog.. but I was trying to fix the boot screen resolution

[04:40] <zeknox> fililoco: are there any other computers on the network?
[04:41] <zeknox> Josesordo: ok you show remove that last package
[04:41] <zeknox> Josesordo: sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-1.7.6-gc
[04:41] <zeknox> Josesordo: when your done with that run sudo tasksel
[04:42] <zeknox> fililoco: is it possible you have a bad router or switch?
[04:42] <Josesordo> zeknox: I uninstalled that packaged already.. I restarted system..but nothing yet
[04:42] <weechat_user> b                                         A
[04:42] <zeknox> run sudo tasksel
[04:42] <itsux2bu> tasksel is cool
[04:43] <fililoco_> zeknox: no, i dont have the problem with win 7
[04:43] <zeknox> fililoco_: hmmm
[04:43] <demonic> hey guys whats up
[04:43] <Josesordo> zeknox, What software selection now?
[04:43] <zeknox> Josesordo: then choose Ubuntu desktop
[04:43] <fililoco_> im gona check tracy link
[04:43] <zeknox> Josesordo: or if you want a different GUI, you can choose any other one you choose
[04:43] <demonic> hey guys hows it going
[04:44] <zeknox> demonic: what up
 if u check google u will find a lot of info about your card and ubuntu there were some problems with your card
[04:44] <demonic> what linux are you running
[04:44] <demonic> zeknox
[04:44] <zeknox> demonic: ubuntu, freebsd, win 7, win xp, mac os x
[04:45] <fililoco_> yup i try some things
[04:45] <demonic> im running ubuntu linux netbook remix
[04:45] <fililoco_> but no one works
[04:45] <Josesordo> zeknox: ok, I pressed enter..and seems like nothing happened or I need to restart?
[04:45] <zeknox> fililoco_: when did the problem start occuring?
[04:45] <demonic> its acually very nice fast and organised
[04:45] <fililoco_> when i installed ubuntu xD
[04:45] <zeknox> Josesordo: you need to press space when it is highlighted, that will check the box, then enter
[04:45] <zeknox> Josesordo: sudo tasksel again
[04:46] <zeknox> fililoco_: have you updated the system?  sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade ?
[04:46] <dan86> What media server app do you guys use in ubuntu, the only thing i need is it to be running in the background all the time and to simply share two folders from external hard drive
[04:46] <fililoco_> yes
[04:46] <Josesordo> zeknox: ok was so fast..but now seems like something was installed xD
[04:47] <zeknox> Josesordo: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:47] <zeknox> Josesordo: press Alt + F1 and run that
[04:47] <Josesordo> Alt + F1 show the menu :P
[04:47] <Josesordo> zeknox: Alt + F1 show the menu :P
[04:47] <zeknox> Josesordo: well just run it from terminal it don't metter
[04:48] <zeknox> sudo
[04:48] <dan86> What media server app do you guys use in ubuntu, the only thing i need is it to be running in the background all the time and to simply share two folders from external hard drive
[04:48] <Flynsarmy> Are AMD or NVidia graphics better on ubuntu atm?
[04:48] <zeknox> dan86: hey settle down!, and be more specific on what you want to share to?  xbox, ps3, linux, mac, win, what?
[04:48] <dan86> to ps3 =)
[04:49] <zeknox> dan86: what type of media did you have in mind, music or vids?
[04:49] <rallias> is anyone else having difficulty reaching google?
[04:49] <dan86> videos
[04:49] <dan86> mainly movies
[04:49] <jjgalvez__> is there any trick to editing the default note template? I would like a blank one rather then the current default
[04:49] <zeknox> dan86: might be interesting https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ps3MediaServer
[04:49] <Josesordo> zeknox: still the desktop cube move slow, and another slow effects :(
[04:50] <dan86> i tried ps3 media server
[04:50] <dan86> and added it to startup list
[04:50] <zeknox> and...? you didn't tell us that
[04:50] <zeknox> dan86: so whats the problem?
[04:50] <Flynsarmy> Are AMD or NVidia drivers better on ubuntu atm?
[04:50] <dan86> but when i booted it only showed "/"
[04:50] <dan86> as folder
[04:50] <dan86> i love that program, use it on MAC and PC
[04:50] <zeknox> Flynsarmy: its a matter of prefrence
[04:51] <zeknox> Josesordo: did you look under system -> admin -> hardware drivers?
[04:51] <Josesordo> zeknox: what means this in dmesg? --> [drm] Resetting GPU, [drm] writeback test succeeded in 1 usecs
[04:51] <zeknox> Josesordo: sounds like driver issue, or video card issue, it shouldn't be reseting I don't think, could be wrong
[04:51] <Flynsarmy> zeknox: are there any real differences? Do they both perform well? Will i get 3D on both for compiz? are the best AMD ones open source or proprietry?
[04:51] <fililoco_> im gonna reset and chek if tracy web works
[04:51] <dan86> zeknox basically i can't get ps3 media server to function correctly as a startup app so that it's always on.  if i had my choice i would use it
[04:52] <zeknox> Flynsarmy: as long as you get a decent video card with sufficient memroy and cpu, you can have the cube and many annimations
[04:52] <zeknox> dan86: so what is the question?  I thought you wanted to know a linux media server?
[04:52] <Flynsarmy> zeknox: there were massive amd issues like 1 or 2 distros back on AMD cards. are htey solved now?
[04:52] <tracy69> Flynsarmy,  i have ati hd4850 and it work perfect
[04:52] <Josesordo> zekox: this work fine without the ATI drives from Hardware drives menu..but lets try
[04:53] <soreau> Flynsarmy: open radeon drivers IMHO
[04:53] <zeknox> Josesordo: if there are other drivers, it probably would be best to try them
[04:53] <dan86> zeknox, i would prefer to get ps3 media server functioning correctly
[04:53] <zeknox> Josesordo: the best video drivers are not installed by default IMO
[04:53] <Josesordo> zeknox: yesterday, worked fine.. grr.. but well,
[04:53] <zeknox> dan86: what is the problem with Ps3MediaServer, i don't understand the actual problem at hand
[04:54] <latagore> Can I ask a question or would it be better for the conversation to finish first =o
[04:54] <zeknox> latagore: ask away!
[04:54] <Flynsarmy> soreau: the open radeon drivers support 3D for desktop zoom and window nimations on open/close and twinview? that's all i'm really after
[04:54] <cedriczg> latagore, just ask
[04:54] <latagore> I can't seem to get to the login screen on Ubuntu
[04:54] <latagore> It just freezes
[04:54] <bahaa> I want to join #math in xchat, how?
[04:54] <Josesordo> Someone know how I add the Connection Tray Icon again? I deleted by accident now T_T
[04:55] <zeknox> latagore: delete you /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart gdm
[04:55] <zeknox> Josesordo: there is a way in gnome to reset all your visuals to default...
[04:55] <cedriczg> bahaa, ho to server, join channel
[04:55] <zeknox> Josesordo: hang on, file in your home directory
[04:55] <pfg> latagore: remove quiet from your bootup line and see what message it ends on
[04:55] <soreau> Flynsarmy: Twinview is an nvidia-specific technology. The open radeon drivers support xrandr 1.2 which is how you manipulate your monitors and modes
[04:55] <zeknox> Josesordo: this is what you want I think http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/
[04:55] <cedriczg> latagore, which ubuntu version are you using?
[04:56] <soreau> Flynsarmy: and yes, it can do all the compiz features you listed and more
[04:56] <kiamo> Hi, ubuntu update has been regularly failing for the last week or so.  It seems to freeze and do nothing no matter how long I leave it for, and I have to do a forced restart and then partial upgrade.  Has anyone else been having this problem recently?
[04:56] <Josesordo> zeknox: hang on?.. I cancell the Driver download or not?
[04:56] <zeknox> Josesordo: let the install finish
[04:56] <Flynsarmy> soreau: perfect. xrandr supports swithcing in and out of dual monitors without an x restart correct?
[04:56] <zeknox> Josesordo: only 1 task at a time
[04:56] <latagore> I'm not sure what GDM is but apparently the file doesn't exist
[04:56] <zeknox> kiamo: no
[04:56] <bahaa> Josesordo: left click on the upper panel and chose add to panel then add a notification area
[04:56] <soreau> Flynsarmy: yes
[04:56] <zeknox> latagore: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:57] <bahaa> cedriczg: can you tell me how step by step?
[04:57] <latagore> And how do you handle answering everyone's questions lol
[04:57] <treeshoe> I am new to Ubuntu as a graphical OS. When I minimize windows they seem to disappear
[04:57] <pfg> latagore: Gnome Desktop Manager
[04:57] <soreau> Flynsarmy: The proprietary nvidia driver is the only driver I know of that can run compiz but doesn't support xrandr 1.2
[04:57] <treeshoe> How do I get them to show like at the bottom of the screen
[04:57] <zeknox> treeshoe: this is what you want to do here:  http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/
[04:57] <bahaa> cedriczg, like I type "/server" what if I don't know the server name?
[04:57] <zeknox> treeshoe: then restart gmd using sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:57] <bahaa> cedriczg, it's in freenode
[04:58] <cedriczg> bahaa, I am using xchat in spanish. I suppose in english you have on the menu "server" and then a submenu called "join channel"
[04:58] <Flynsarmy> soreau: excellent. thanks for the info
[04:58] <latagore> No such file or directory; I'm running the recovery boot.
[04:58] <CkhiKuzad> D: i must go.
[04:58] <CkhiKuzad> goodbye #ubuntu
[04:58] <latagore> Good bye =o
[04:58] <bahaa> cedriczg, you are right :)!
[04:58] <bahaa> cedriczg, I'll try it
[04:58] <pfg> treeshoe: right click your bottom toolbar - add to toolbar - window list
[04:58] <cedriczg> bahaa, then with command I think it is /join #channelname
[04:58] <Josesordo> zeknox: ok, driver installed, now I need to restart the PC
[04:58] <zeknox> Josesordo: restarting the pc will work, or possibly just restarting gdm
[04:59] <treeshoe> great .. it worked. Thank you pfg
[04:59] <Flynsarmy> Is there any solution for hte insane memory leak in gnome-power-manager? leaks 4kb/second. eats up the ram fast
[04:59] <zeknox> Flynsarmy: uninstall it
[04:59] <pfg> treeshoe: NP, been there before ; )
[04:59] <cedriczg> bahaa, you can also have a list of the available channels with "list of channels"
[04:59] <kiamo> zeknox, any idea how I can troubleshoot this?
[04:59] <bahaa> cedriczg, I want to join this : http://freenode-math.yourwiki.net/wiki/Main_Page
[04:59] <latagore> zeknox: I'm in recovery boot mode thingie, if that explains why the file you listed doesn't exist
[04:59] <Flynsarmy> zek0r: ahh...it sounds kind of important lol
[05:00] <zeknox> kiamo: specify the issue exactly
[05:00] <Flynsarmy> zek0r: and interestly, every time you install updates the update manager starts it up again
[05:00] <zeknox> latagore: just reboot into normal mode now then
[05:01] <Flynsarmy> zek0r: sorry those were meant for zeknox
[05:01] <bahaa> cedriczg, I found it but couldn't join it
[05:02] <zeknox> Flynsarmy: I think there is a popular alternative if I remember correctly
[05:02] <bahaa> just pressing the join button and it does nothing!!
[05:02] <mroiler_> I need help setting up my dlink DBT-120 bluetooth dongle
[05:02] <latagore> zeknox: I can see the users listed now but it's frozen again
[05:02] <cedriczg> bahaa, you can go to the freenode tab and type "/join #math"
[05:02] <zeknox> latagore: did you install any additional themes for the bootup screen?
[05:03] <cedriczg> bahaa, or use the "server" button on the menu, then "join channel" button and then type "#math" as channel
[05:03] <latagore> I don't believe so
[05:03] <zeknox> latagore: or logon screen rather
[05:03] <bahaa> I found this on the node page :  #math :Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services
[05:03] <kiamo> zeknox, Often when I install new apps from the software centre the installation fails to complete.  When this happens via the command line, it seems to halt during the unpacking phase of the installation.
[05:03] <latagore> This is my first time booting up
[05:03] <bahaa> cedriczg, it seems they don't allow anybody to join right?
[05:03] <zeknox> kiamo: using apt-get ?
[05:03] <cedriczg> bahaa, I joined and then went out from that channel
[05:04] <cedriczg> bahaa, I am there now to check
[05:04] <zeknox> latagore: try running something like sudo dpkg-reconrigure xserver-xorg
[05:04] <bahaa> cedriczg, that's odd
[05:04] <demonic> hey guys
[05:04] <demonic> i have a question
[05:04] <bahaa> demonic, hey :)
[05:04] <zeknox> latagore: or another option would be to run sudo tasksel, and remove any gui software, and then install free
[05:04] <bahaa> demonic, just ask
[05:04] <TiK> !ask
[05:04] <zeknox> latagore: fresh*
[05:04] <demonic> how do i make a server on here?
[05:05] <demonic> on this chat
[05:05] <latagore> zeknox: I don't know how except in recovery mode and I tried that command. It doesn't seem to work
[05:05] <TiK> demonic: ask in #freenode
[05:05] <zeknox> latagore: it may not from recovery mode
[05:05] <demonic> ok
[05:05] <zeknox> latagore: dpkg-reconfigure <package-name> should work
[05:05] <cedriczg> bahaa, what do you get as message when you try to connect to #math that channel?
[05:05] <latagore> zeknox: I don't know how to access the command prompt from any other way
[05:05] <zeknox> latagore: on loging screen I think you can press Alt + F1
[05:06] <latagore> zeknox: Log on screen is frozen
[05:06] <bahaa> cedriczg, this: * #math :Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services
[05:06] <TiK> zeknox: in gnome you can press alt control f1 - f9
[05:06] <zeknox> latagore: usually doesn't matter, its like a hidden console
[05:06] <bahaa> cedriczg, in the freenode page
[05:06] <_genuser_> hello people
[05:06] <dendrite> hello.  where is the grub file that i can edit to set a widescreen framebuffer resolution in grub2
[05:06] <zeknox> TiK: your right thx
[05:06] <latagore> zeknox: I just tried and not working =(
[05:06] <zeknox> latagore: press Alt + Ctr + F1
[05:06] <TiK> dendrite: /etc/defualt/grub
[05:07] <mroiler_> i need help with bluetooth setup
[05:07] <dendrite> thx TiK
[05:07] <TiK> er default
[05:07] <cedriczg> bahaa, aren't you using the xchat program? It seems you need to identify yourself. Do you have a nickname with a password associated?
[05:07] <demonic> hey
[05:07] <kiamo> zeknox, yes apt-get install
[05:07] <latagore> zeknox: still nothing; I assume  the entire system is frozen because the time doesn't change
[05:07] <zeknox> kiamo: try aptitude
[05:07] <cedriczg> bahaa, try to identify yourself under the freenode tab using the command "/msg NickServ identify <password>'
