[04:20] <matts> can anyone help me out please
[04:20] <comfnumb> koshari: yes
[04:20] <mezquitale> comfnumb, it could be sudo touch /forcefsck

[04:20] <mezquitale> !please | matts
[04:21] <mezquitale> matts, just ask the question all in one line
[04:21] <koshari> comfnumb save the xorg file by copying it from the nvid config, then past in a empty gedit file, then backup original xorg, and then save the gedit one as xorg.conf

[04:22] <sweetandy> b43-fwcutter?
[04:23] <DazedNConfused> Ok, I am now booted to the live cd. and running konversation to get on here. How do I run a disk check from here?
[04:23] <MAEL> so why can't I set up my wifi, i mean its not on
[04:23] <terinjokes> i can't remember, but there's one chipset in the bcm41xx line that b43 doesn't work with
[04:23] <terinjokes> MAEL: install the b43 package
[04:24] <DazedNConfused> Anyone?
[04:24] <mezquitale> DazedNConfused, first do a "sudo fdisk -l"
[04:24] <terinjokes> MAEL: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/b43
[04:24] <burzki> MAEL, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[04:24] <DazedNConfused> ok brb
[04:25] <burzki> MAEL, your drivers are not installed yet.  follow the link above.  should get you going.  do you have a wired internet now on the same machine?
[04:25] <terinjokes> burzki: thanks for catching that, i posted a bad URI
[04:26] <comfnumb> koshari: how do i save it? it appears to be read only. Im not familiar with terminal stuff yet....
[04:26] <koshari> comfnumb use the sudo prefix for root priveliges
[04:27] <comfnumb> koshari, right, so "sudo .....?" do i do it from the terminal?
[04:27] <comfnumb> "sudo gedit xorg.conf?
[04:27] <MAEL> no wired internet yet
[04:27] <xangua> !gksu
[04:28] <DazedNConfused> mezquitale, I get a bunch of writing
[04:28] <edbian> comfnumb: That's pretty good except for one exception.  Sudo is for CLI commands, the graphical equivalent is "gksu" so it would be "gksu gedit ..." :)

[04:30] <burzki> MAEL, on the page i sent, toward the bottom is a section on setting up with 'no alternate internet access'.  you'll want to save those files to a usb or soemthing to port them over, and maybe save the page itself for instructions
[04:30] <sweetandy> floodbot anyone?
[04:30] <comfnumb> very cool, thanks! going to reboot now
[04:30] <deever> is there a solution to this grub2 "error: biosdisk read error" error on karmic with a raid/lvm?
[04:30] <gera21> MEAl, have you tried ifconfig wlan0 up yet?
[04:30] <koshari> comfnumb you dont need to reboot, just restart x
[04:31] <MAEL> no, ifconfig huh?
[04:31] <DazedNConfused> I tried doing a sudo fsck. it didn't work
[04:31] <mezquitale> DazedNConfused, you can fix your ext3 partition like so "fsck [partition]", in your case, fsck /dev/sda3
[04:31] <burzki> MAEL, you'll want to save them to your home folder
[04:31] <gera21> MEAL, yes
[04:32] <burzki> gera21, i dont think he even has drivers installed yet ..
[04:32] <gera21> so you can get  your nic running
[04:32] <DazedNConfused> ok will try
[04:32] <mezquitale> DazedNConfused, remember DONT mount the hard drive
[04:32] <gera21> burzki, thats what i thought
[04:32] <Goliath> what does iirc
[04:32] <Goliath> mean
[04:32] <jack_> hello,all man.i use the linux mint8 for my pc and developing the java EE project use eclipse,but when i create a project,the next button can't work....
[04:32] <MAEL> ok its in the home folder already
[04:32] <losha>  mezquitale: isn't /dev/sda3 a swap partition?
[04:33] <burzki> MAEL, are you running 9.10?
[04:33] <losha> !mint | jack_
[04:33] <mezquitale> DazedNConfused,  losha is paying attention, /dev/sda3 is a swap partition LoL
[04:33] <MAEL> those commands that I have to execute manually, can it be copied and paste d too?
[04:33] <jack_> and i find some infomation about dealing with it ,but no effects
[04:34] <MAEL> 9.1 yes I believe so
[04:34] <IdleOne> !mintsupport | jack_
[04:34] <burzki> yup, c/p ok
[04:34] <mezquitale> DazedNConfused,  use pastebin to poost the results of "sudo fdisk -l"
[04:34] <DazedNConfused> mI did
[04:34] <DazedNConfused> I did
[04:35] <mezquitale> DazedNConfused, you have to use pastebin
[04:35] <mezquitale> !paste
[04:35] <DazedNConfused> mezquitale I also used pastebin to post the results of fsck /dev/sda5
[04:35] <burzki> MAEL, do you have a pc card or other type of wifi device/ or cable to use in the meantime?  it would make the install simpler
[04:36] <MAEL> cable maybe, but I have to cut this connection, and my connection is slow
[04:36] <mezquitale> DazedNConfused, I havent seen the link
[04:36] <Ballsy> Hi gang.  AMD64 arch, using desktop-amd64 9.10 image, and on occasion (6-7 times within an hour last night) my desktop will simply freeze, with the exception of the mouse, which I can still move, but do nothing with.  Not sure where to start troubleshooting this one...nothing in /var/log/messages other than some atkbd.c messages about unrecognized keys........
[04:36] <DazedNConfused> fsck.ext2: Permission denied while trying to open /dev/sda5
[04:36] <DazedNConfused> You must have r/w access to the filesystem or be root
[04:37] <Ballsy> ...and when it freezes, I can still ssh to it from my laptop without problem.....
[04:37] <DazedNConfused> It won't let me be root
[04:37] <mezquitale> DazedNConfused, use sudo
[04:37] <Erick_23> how do you find installed applications in terminal?
[04:37] <mezquitale> !root
[04:37] <moymoy> DazedNConfused: also, make sure the volume is unmounted before your fsck
[04:37] <koshari> Erick_23 use apt
[04:38] <franklin> Goodmorning
[04:38] <DazedNConfused> Its checking...
[04:38] <Hillshum> Ballsy: Try Ctrl+Alt+F2
[04:38] <Erick_23> [koshari] I type apt in terminal?
[04:38] <DazedNConfused> /dev/sda5 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
[04:38] <DazedNConfused> Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
[04:38] <numvel> Erick_23-> dpkg -L
[04:38] <mezquitale> DazedNConfused, you also have to be careful what you do, some of your partitions look like windows partitions, you have to tell fsck that it's a windows partition
[04:39] <koshari> Erick_23 check the manual, "man apt"
[04:39] <numvel> Erick_23-> rahter dpkg -l   small ell not large ell
[04:39] <koshari> Erick_23 it will be apt-get something
[04:39] <DazedNConfused> mezquitale, not checking wondows partitions..
[04:39] <jmyers> I just copy/pasted this from the ati.amd website, and it's not computing in my brain. "32-Bit packages must be installed for 64-Bit Linux drivers to install or work."  Now does this mean I need to download and install the 32 bit drivers?  Its not making any sense.
[04:40] <Erick_23> I want to see a application I just installed
[04:40] <Erick_23> :O
[04:40] <jack_> all men.i use the ubuntu9.10 for developing the JAVA EE use eclipse,but there has some problem when i create a project and not effect,plase tell me how to deal with this pronlem
[04:40] <Goliath> is mint superior/inferior to ubuntu?
[04:40] <ruandao> hello
[04:40] <IdleOne> !ot | Goliath
[04:40] <DasEi> !mint | Goliath
[04:40] <edbian> Goliath: It's personal opinion (and that is a flame war waiting to happen)
[04:41] <koshari> Erick_23 alternatively you can check the history in synaptic
[04:41] <Goliath> edbian: what flame war means?
[04:41] <Erick_23> [koshari]
[04:41] <edbian> Goliath: A fight
[04:41] <Erick_23> I installed gnome-colors
[04:41] <Goliath> edbian: k, i liked mint but ubuntu is more bleeding edge
[04:42] <IdleOne> Erick_23: it is in System > Preferences
[04:42] <koshari> Erick_23 in term you can use dpkg -l
[04:42] <Erick_23> hahahahahahhaa
[04:42] <DazedNConfused> mezquitale: it finished. is it safe to reboot or do I need to do something else?
[04:42] <Erick_23> wow! lol u guys are so into ubuntu huh? :D
[04:42] <edbian> Goliath: Arch is the most bleeding edge
[04:42] <Erick_23> =)
[04:42] <Goliath> edbian: thats what i use
[04:42] <Goliath> :D
[04:42] <ruandao> ye
[04:42] <Nautilus> I'm downloading a tar.gz, select all the files, and trying to unzip over an existing dir, but it doesn't happen. Option to over-write is on. What could be going on?
[04:43] <Goliath> edbian: wasnt gentoo the most bleeding?
[04:43] <mezquitale> DazedNConfused, if it's finished completely it's safe to reboot
[04:43] <mezquitale> !ot | Erick_23
[04:43] <MAEL> sorry, when I do the "sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-<IP_ADDRESS>.o" , it says "b43-fwcutter" command not found
[04:43] <DazedNConfused> ok see ya on the flip side... here goes nothin
[04:43] <IdleOne> Goliath: can you discuss your fasvorite OS in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[04:43] <Goliath> yes
[04:43] <IdleOne> thank you
[04:44] <Goliath> edbian: come to offtopic
[04:44] <berrybarry> we could use help starting music server join us #musicsomething
[04:44] <IdleOne> !piracy | berrybarry
[04:45] <MAEL> help? when I do the "sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-<IP_ADDRESS>.o" , it says "b43-fwcutter" command not found
[04:45] <Sylvie> hi, how do I find out what is my current color depth? I'm going to /etc/X11/ but xorg.conf is nowheere to be found
[04:45] <burzki> MAEL, you will have to install it.  it's on the install disc.  you will have to enable 'CD' as a source in
[04:45] <Sylvie> running Ubuntu 9.10
[04:45] <jack_> ubottu....hi,can you tell me which group for talking about developing program with ubuntu
[04:46] <MAEL> how do I enable CD as a source in?
[04:46] <burzki> MAEL, System/admin/software sources
[04:46] <Erick_23> how about the menu from ubuntu can I change it? modify it?.. like colours and make it bigger or download any application that make it look like machintosh
[04:46] <Monster> hi
[04:46] <scunizi> how do I start a java app from cli?
[04:46] <Billiard> MAEL: you can only use the alternate install cd afaik
[04:46] <EastDallas> MAEL...can you connect a hard wire internet connection on that machine?
[04:47] <Monster> giday
[04:47] <jack_> hi,man .... ubottu
[04:47] <IdleOne> scunizi: java file I think it is
[04:47] <Sylvie> where is xorg.conf in ubuntu 9.10???
[04:47] <IdleOne> jack_: ubottu is a robot
[04:47] <Sylvie> how do find / change my color depth?
[04:47] <burzki> Billiard, not true
[04:48] <jmyers> I'm starting to think I need to DOWNGRADE my graphics card to the flippin ATI 2600 Pro. :(
[04:48] <jack_> IdleOne....who,ubottu,a robot...
[04:48] <koshari> Sylvie its not there by default but you can place overrides on an xorg file
[04:48] <scunizi> IdleOne: it is a java file.. do you know how to start it?  java <filename>
[04:48] <Monster> I hate Vista
[04:48] <jmyers> Sylvie: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:48] <MAEL> if i use the hard wire, then this one will be disconnected
[04:48] <Sylvie> jmyers, it's NOT there
[04:48] <Vonnick> LAWL
[04:48] <IdleOne> scunizi: yes " java filename " I think
[04:48] <jmyers> Sylvie: Then it's been deleted somehow.  System will run without it, until you install a driver that writes another.
[04:49] <Sylvie> koshari, I want to find out what my color depth is.... why can't I change it with the Display option?
[04:49] <Sylvie> jmyers, it's a fresh clean install. It has not been deleted
[04:49] <MAEL> say what, I'll try using a hard wire, and then get back to this chat room from ubuntu.. i'll try and see if its succesful
[04:49] <EastDallas> Mael: normally, if you connect via hardwire run all updates you will be prompted to activate the wireless driver.  It's a lot easier than doing it manually.
[04:49] <IdleOne> scunizi: #java probably can help more
[04:49] <Vonnick> Slyve: You've got to define color depth in xorg.conf
[04:49] <burzki> MAEL, it might be easier .. if you wire your other machine and do an update
[04:49] <scunizi> IdleOne: good idea.. thanks.
[04:49] <LzrdKing> this is bizarre: synaptic doesn;t like my password, but other programs that require it take it fine
[04:49] <burzki> leave you instruction page open .. ;-)
[04:49] <Sylvie> Vonnick, where the heck is it? /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist
[04:49] <Vonnick> Create it
[04:50] <MAEL> Are there any settings that I have to do after connecting?
[04:50] <jack_> IdleOne.when you want to execute a java Program.you must cofnig the jdk but the openjdk is default in ubuntu 9.10
[04:50] <Sylvie> Vonnick, where is not there?
[04:50] <MAEL> or is it automatic?
[04:50] <EastDallas> mael:  IF you don't get prompted to activate the driver check System>Administration>Hardware Drivers
[04:50] <Vonnick> Slyvie: Ubuntu 9.10 and up do not include a xorg.conf
[04:50] <EastDallas> Mael: it's just like any other wireless connection after you activate the driver
[04:50] <Vonnick> You've got to make one if you want it
[04:50] <jack_> and open the terminal,type the command :java javaFile.and run it
[04:50] <EastDallas> Mael:  You might have to reboot.
[04:50] <burzki> MAEL, most of it should be automated for you at that point.  when you think youre done, check the hardware drivers to enable it
[04:51] <Sylvie> Vonnick, why isn't there one by default with my current screen settings?
[04:51] <Sylvie> Vonnick, why can't I change my color depth usng the Display GUI tool?
[04:51] <MAEL> Ok, I'll try my best, thank you guys.. see you soon (from ubuntu hopefully
[04:51] <Vonnick> Because xorg auto configures it
[04:51] <Vonnick> You can make a xorg.conf and it will use it instead
[04:51] <burzki> MAEL,
[04:51] <Vonnick> As for the gui, I don't know :(
[04:51] <Sylvie> Vonnick, xorg is stupid, I have blue and yellow dots because, apparantly, I'm running 256 colors somehow
[04:52] <burzki> MAEL, if you do get wired over on your ubuntu machine
[04:52] <MAEL> yes?
[04:52] <burzki> MAEL, you can download xchat in the software center and get back here to IRC
[04:52] <Vonnick> Are you using the radeon driver?
[04:52] <matts> is xchat the best irc for linux?
[04:53] <MAEL> alrite, thanks burzki, u helped alot!
[04:53] <Sylvie> Vonnick, no, it's an onboard intel (or SiS) card, no hardware driver
[04:53] <MAEL> disconnecting
[04:53] <IdleOne> !irc | matts
[04:53] <jack_> who know the #java group
[04:53] <jtaji> matts: it's the most popular graphical client
[04:53] <jack_> can tell me
[04:53] <burzki> !best | matts
[04:53] <Vonnick> Slyvie: Oh, I have no experience with setting up intel stuff
[04:53] <Vonnick> :S
[04:53] <LzrdKing> why doesn't synaptic like my password but other programs do?
[04:53] <jack_> a group for java
[04:54] <IdleOne> hmmm matts that was the wrong info. xchat is probably best you can get for GUI and irssi for terminal
[04:54] <Starcraftmazter> Is there some Xorg problem in 9.10? seems to lock up somewhat frequently
[04:54] <matts> can someone help me with my wireless
[04:54] <DasEi> LzrdKing: what do you get if you run a sudo synaptic ?
[04:54] <jack_> IdleOne,i just add you  to my friend
[04:54] <smacnay> matts, xchat is nice in Gnome, irssi is great inconsole, konversation is nice in kde - empathy and pidgin do simple irc - depends on what you need and what you like.
[04:54] <LzrdKing> well i can;t open a terminal, but sudo in a tty works fine
[04:54] <jack_> i have some for doing ,see you latter
[04:55] <Ballsy> Anyone heard of stability issues with desktop-amd64 ver of 9.10 ?  In particular, screen freezups ?
[04:55] <Vonnick> Slyvie: Here's the xorg intel page. Has some links to get you setup. http://www.x.org/wiki/IntelGraphicsDriver
[04:55] <DasEi> LzrdKing: why no terminal ?
[04:55] <ctmjr> Sylvie: you can create a xorg file with sudo Xorg -configure then copy the file it creates cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf the location might be different
[04:55] <mobi-sheep> Ballsy: It vary for every user. I don't really experience lot of freezeup on my amd64 (three machines).
[04:55] <LzrdKing> DasEi, dunno, it shows "starting terminal" in the "Taskbar" and then it goes away
[04:56] <burzki> matts, do you know your chipset? or have you enabled the hardware drivers?
[04:56] <LzrdKing> i did DISPLAY=:0 sudo synaptic from tty1 and it opened right up
[04:56] <DasEi> LzrdKing: Alt+F2 , gnome-terminal ?
[04:56] <devD> while start-up ubuntu shows some usb errors 433 and splash, I could not note it down as it comes for very less time. please tell me how to see and resolve them ?
[04:56] <mobi-sheep> Ballsy: In that case, you should toggle on CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE to make it easier to restart XServer in case that happened. See !dontzap
[04:56] <LzrdKing> DasEi, nothing happens
[04:57] <Sylvie> ctmjr, I'll try that
[04:57] <LzrdKing> and my columns in system monitor are all mixed up!
[04:57] <DasEi> devD: dmesg > dmes.txt , gedit dmes.txt
[04:57] <LzrdKing> weird
[04:57] <devD> DasEi, ok
[04:58] <LzrdKing> what can i use to burn a TS_VIDEO folder to a DVD for a compliant disc?
[04:58] <DasEi> LzrdKing: get a command window with alt+F2 ?
[04:58] <Ballsy> mobi-sheep: ctrl-alt-bckspce doesn't help, I'm afraid....the only thing I can do is move my mouse around.  Even if I ssh in from another pc and 'killall -u username' and confirm all their procs are dead, the display remains on the pc....weird....
[04:59] <LzrdKing> DasEi, yes, i did but gnome-terminal didn;t open
[04:59] <mobi-sheep> Ballsy: You have to toggle it on first before you can use it.
[04:59] <Snausages> how do I add vlc to main menu in karmic?
[04:59] <DasEi> LzrdKing: which distro ?
[04:59] <mobi-sheep> Snausages: It should be under Videos. Try "killall gnome-panel" and check under Applications --> Videos again.
[04:59] <LzrdKing> DasEi, 9.04
[05:00] <edgar2>  register password
[05:00] <devD> is there any utility available which checks the ubuntu os and auto corrects the problems ?
[05:01] <Snausages> mobi-sheep: nope, not there
[05:01] <DasEi> LzrdKing: boot to safe mode, get inet by calling netrot, then exit again to safemode, try dpkg repair broken packages ;; did you do any changes ?
[05:01] <Billiard> devD: what kind of problems?
[05:01] <mobi-sheep> devD: There are a tool that checks if the Ubuntu ISO are intact, but as for the whole OS. The problem varies for every user. Try and ask the real questions to your issues.
[05:01] <LzrdKing> DasEi, i just installed dvdstyler
[05:02] <Snausages> mobi-sheep: I happened to install it via apt-get rather than synaptic.  Should I do that over again?
[05:02] <devD> Billiard, mobi-sheep as I can see some errors while startup but they are not visible in dmesg.  I want to correct that annoying errors.
[05:02] <mobi-sheep> Snausages: It should not matter. There are many ways to install packages. Command line or GUI should get same results. You could try removing and install it again.
[05:03] <DasEi> LzrdKing: try in safemode then
[05:03] <mobi-sheep> Snausages: "sudo aptitude purge vlc && sudo aptitude install vlc"
[05:03] <Zeppelin> question question i have a question
[05:03] <nick_> shoot
[05:03] <mobi-sheep> Zeppelin: Ask aks you have to ask.
[05:04] <Snausages> mobi-sheep: ok cool I'll let that grind a bit
[05:04] <Zeppelin> ok well
[05:04] <devD> DasEi, mobi-sheep Billiard can you find anything in this dmesg output http://pastebin.com/m3be779ed
[05:04] <Zeppelin> you know the
[05:05] <Zeppelin> shutdown button
[05:05] <Zeppelin> i want it to be left of the power button that says 'jacob'
[05:05] <jmyers> HOW is it, that AMD does not provide a graphics driver for its OWN AMD64 ARCHITECTURE, but it does for the x86 64 bit architecture?!  That's so asinine.
[05:05] <LzrdKing> DasEi, i will try :) thanks!
[05:05] <sprockets> Does Dual Booting hurt performance of the windows partition at all
[05:05] <syn-ack> jmyers: because ther spec is opensource now?
[05:06] <jtaji> jmyers: amd64 and x86-64 refer to the same architecture
[05:06] <syn-ack> yeah, um yeah I read that wrong
[05:06] <jmyers> jtaji: really?  Because I can't get the x86_64 drivers to work for anything.
[05:06] <droid7>  anyone experiencing tearing with compiz with nvidia 64bit? Seems using 32bit ubuntu works fine.
[05:06] <joshritger> does anyone know what the volume manager for lxde is?
[05:06] <jtaji> jmyers: really
[05:06] <syn-ack> bai4nao
[05:07] <DasEi> devD: no, looks fine, whats your prob ?
[05:07] <resno-bbl> i want to add access to a directory, is chown the best command?
[05:07] <DasEi> resno-bbl: chown -R
[05:07] <DasEi> resno-bbl:system-dir ?
[05:07] <resno-bbl> DasEi: no, its a user folder
[05:08] <sprockets_> sorry I got disconnected, does having a dual boot hurt performance
[05:08] <DasEi> resno-bbl: chown -R
[05:08] <jtaji> sprockets: not at all
[05:08] <DasEi> sprockets: no
[05:08] <sprockets_> ahh cool
[05:08] <joshritger> can anyone tell me what the sound level controller is for lxde?
[05:08] <jmyers> sprockets_: the only thing that hurts performance in a Linux/Windows dual boot, is windows. :)
[05:09] <devD> DasEi, while booting it shows some errors like [usb] 433 unable .../devive... something like that . I could not note down  and some splash error too.
[05:09] <sprockets_> Yeah i love nix, used arch for over a year until about a month ago
[05:09] <sprockets_> when i decided I wanted to play real games again
[05:09] <sprockets_> but never really looked into dual booting, or how it effects performance
[05:10] <droid7> nvm figured it out
[05:10] <DasEi> devD: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[05:10] <DasEi> devD: pastebinit /var/log/syslog
[05:11] <DasEi> sprockets: can even multiple boot
[05:11] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> hey dude
[05:12] <EastDallas> Fezzler:  What's up?
[05:12] <DasEi> sprockets: for playing around vm's are nice
[05:12] <sprockets_> Oh, I dont want to play around
[05:12] <sprockets_> I bought Win7 for 30 bucks and just didnt want to dual boot if it effects performance even slightly
[05:12] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> Did you say you do know how to get Jackd to work?
[05:13] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> Still no success
[05:13] <songer> Unreal Tournament
[05:13] <EastDallas> Fezzler:  YOu had it working the other day
[05:13] <Erick_23> how do I open compizconfig-settings-manager
[05:13] <mobi-sheep> sprockets_: 30 bucks? You got ripped off. It is not worth the money. :(  --> *nix all the way.
[05:13] <resno-bbl> DasEi: so for instance, if i wanted read and write access, i would do "sudo chown -R 775  /home/media/music"
[05:14] <IdleOne> Erick_23: again in System > Preferences
[05:14] <mobi-sheep> Erick_23: It should be under System --> Preferences/Administration
[05:14] <sweetandy> Can one only create a USB ubuntu install medium from inside ubuntu?
[05:14] <rcscomp> What is the difference between qemu and qemu-system-x86_64?
[05:14] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> Some.  I want to start Jack, Start Hydrogen, Start Audacity and have Audacity record Hydrogn output
[05:14] <sprockets_> Yeah, I migrated to arch back when vista came out
[05:14] <Sagaci> rcscomp: the latter is 64-bit
[05:14] <EastDallas> can't get that to work?
[05:14] <Erick_23> thank you, but I dont see no compiz
[05:15] <DasEi> resno-bbl: that would be a world permission, right, better sudo chown -R UserName    home/media/music
[05:15] <rcscomp> Sagaci: you mean, for 64 bit guests?
[05:15] <Erick_23> is it supposed to say compiz?¡
[05:15] <burzki> !unetbootin | sweetandy
[05:15] <IdleOne> Erick_23: did you install it?
[05:15] <Kadaj> Erick_23: just run ccsm from command line
[05:16] <sweetandy> burzki: Thanks!
[05:16] <devD> DasEi, its http://pastebin.com/f19ce5a59
[05:16] <DasEi> !info usb-creator | sweetandy
[05:16] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> No go?  Too much to ask?
[05:16] <Erick_23> it says its not installed :S... how do I install compiz? :O
[05:17] <IdleOne> Erick_23: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[05:17] <scunizi> Erick_23: did you activate your restricted video drivers? nvidia? or Ati? or Intel?
[05:17] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> I got Jack started itself, but never utilized by Audacity, Hydrogen or Ardour GTK2
[05:17] <Erick_23> scunzi I dont know :O
[05:18] <scunizi> Erick_23: typically in system>Administration>Hardware drivers
[05:18] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> I don't know if it is true, but sound/recording is Linux weak spot?
[05:18] <Steil> fn'git__, HI!
[05:18] <Steil> git__ HI!
[05:18] <EastDallas> Can you get ardour to run?
[05:18] <Steil> ħ/2m ∇² ψ(r,t) + U(r) ψ(r,t) = i ħ ∂ψ(r,t)/∂t
[05:18] <git__> hi steil
[05:18] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> Yes, the program
[05:18] <git__> u like?
[05:18] <panfist> i had a volume shared over samba, and a samba client deleted a bunch of files, is there any possible way to recover them?
[05:18] <DasEi> devD: do you run any usb things ?
[05:18] <EastDallas> If ardour is running, then so is jack.
[05:18] <Erick_23> scunizy but if there is nothing there¡?
[05:18] <IdleOne> Erick_23: don't be afraid to explore the menus and see what's what :)
[05:18] <devD> Steil, how do you put these mathematical signs ?
[05:19] <resno-bbl> DasEi: that worked, that was a world permission. what was that you used? i want to look them up to better understand.
[05:19] <scunizi> Erick_23: what kind of card do you have?
[05:19] <panfist> how can i prevent this sort of error in the future? for example when samba users delete files, it goes into the trash instead of permenant delete
[05:19] <git__> anyone here has the Optimus Keyboard?
[05:19] <EastDallas> Fezzler: Ardour won't run without Jack.  It's the only audio server it works with
[05:19] <devD> DasEi, i haven't tried yet
[05:19] <Steil> devD: I just copy and pasted git's stuff
[05:19] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> HMM
[05:19] <Erick_23> thanks
[05:19] <devD> Steil, ok
[05:19] <DasEi> resno-bbl: can also use a specific username instead of the commenting number
[05:19] <Erick_23> it says no propietary drivers are in use on this system
[05:20] <EastDallas> Fezzler: Start jack Control
[05:20] <EastDallas> Fezzler and start Jack
[05:20] <DasEi> devD: so if there is no usb inseted, there can't be an error then
[05:20] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> Done
[05:21] <EastDallas> Fezzler>after jack is running open Audacity
[05:21] <resno-bbl> DasEi: should the number have worked tho?
[05:21] <scunizi> Erick_23: might be intel.. check out system>Preferences>Appearance and then click on the visual effects tab.. there you should be able to "turn up" the type of effects..
[05:21] <DasEi> resno-bbl: yes
[05:22] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> Done.  Plugged in mic
[05:22] <EastDallas> Fezzler>go to edit preferences in Audacity
[05:22] <devD> DasEi, I have connected USB drives in all usb ports and they are working fine
[05:22] <sugi> I can't get a nvidia X-Server setitng to show me the xorg.conf settings for my display.  How would I do this?
[05:23] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> There
[05:23] <Erick_23> [scunizi] but effects do work
[05:23] <EastDallas> Fezzler: Devices>Host>Jack Audio Connection Kit
[05:23] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> Done
[05:23] <scunizi> Erick_23: good then you're just looking to add different effects right?
[05:24] <sugi> I can't get a nvidia X-Server setitng to show me the xorg.conf settings for my display.  How would I do this?
[05:24] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> "Using: PortAudio V19-devel(built Oct 26 2009)
[05:24] <Erick_23> [scunizi] yes well.. I have seen them before but I installed a theme.. for my first time.. and now I want compiz to put some transparency
[05:25] <DasEi> devD: and a mouse and a webcam and.. well no erros shown least, just skip it then
[05:25] <EastDallas> Fezzler: You can't choose Jack from the list?
[05:25] <EastDallas> nevermind...I see
[05:25] <EastDallas> Fezzler: nevermind
[05:25] <Fezzler> EastDallas>>Yes, Jack is selected in Host
[05:25] <scunizi> Erick_23: did you install ccsm (compizconfig-setting-manager) like the other person suggested?
[05:25] <EastDallas> Fezzler:  Have you gotten this far before?
[05:25] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> Yes.
[05:25] <devD> DasEi, I haven't checked cam. going to check.
[05:25] <EastDallas> ok
[05:26] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> Playback?   Recording?
[05:26] <DasEi> sugi:open xorg.conf in a editor
[05:26] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> JACK also?
[05:26] <EastDallas> Yes
[05:27] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> Oh, they say "No devices found"
[05:27] <EastDallas> Fezzler>yes
[05:27] <EastDallas> Fezzler:same here
[05:27] <sugi> DasEi: Doesn't work like that.  It's not updated to show my dual-Monitor setup.  :/  I can paste-bin it for you, if you want ot see it
[05:27] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> Time to test to see if Audacity records?
[05:27] <EastDallas> Fezzler: go ahead and click OK
[05:27] <EastDallas> Do you already have Hydrogen opened and configured for Jack?
[05:27] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> Done
[05:27] <devD> DasEi, cam is also working.
[05:28] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> No.  Open Hydrogen now?
[05:28] <scunizi> Erick_23: if you did (or are right now) once installed you should find it in System>Preferences>Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
[05:28] <EastDallas> Fezzler: yes
[05:28] <vegombrei> anyone here using compiz etc?? i cant get mine to work
[05:28] <DasEi> devD: just skip it then, usb get initialized new each reboot
[05:28] <devD> DasEi, there is not any problem except that annoying start up message.
[05:28] <Erick_23> [scunizi] yes I did :D now am like looking in every menu of that program
[05:28] <Erick_23> thank u xD hahaha is cool..

[05:30] <EastDallas> fezzler: CHeck box that say connect to default audio pair.
[05:30] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> Choose JACK for driver?  Done
[05:31] <hcook> or better yet, a setting to make the 'places' menu items pop open on mouseover?
[05:31] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> Checked

[05:35] <sugi> I can't get a nvidia X-Server setitng to show me the xorg.conf settings for my display.  How would I do this?
[05:36] <vinpan> hello i have aproplem on my other desktop
[05:36] <scunizi> sugi: have you tried starting nvidia-settings?
[05:36] <devD> rww, thanks
[05:36] <rww> devD: no problem, glad I could help :)
[05:37] <Crash1hd> losha: ok so I ran the fsck and then ran it again (the second time it didnt seem to have any issues) rebooted and ubuntu ran its own check (in the loading screen) ubuntu loaded and all seems fine except when I try tune2fs to change the label I get the same error
[05:37] <sugi> scunizi: i started it up, change my display to my likings, try to save to the xorg.conf.  And it says "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!"  Any idea?
[05:37] <vinpan> when installing on the part it says keyboard detection.........device /dev/sdc what dose that mean?
[05:37] <gigasoft> is there program to make linux portable with some programs in it?
[05:37] <scunizi> sugi: you have to start it with sudo nvidia-settings
[05:37] <gigasoft> is there program to make linux portable with some programs in it? on mu usb stick?
[05:38] <Crash1hd> losha: which is Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdc Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
[05:38] <IdleOne> !usb | gigasoft
[05:38] <vinpan> whats that mean?
[05:38] <scunizi> sugi: of course.. xrandr is what really controls the video now.. you can control what the driver does with xrandr
[05:38] <Crash1hd> losha: so then I try to run sudo fsck /dev/sdc and it says that I cant as its still mounted (Im not 100% sure if it ran on that drive in single mode or not)
[05:38] <losha> Crash1hd: I wish I could tell you what that means. Any filesystem anomaly makes me nervous....
 thanks :)
[05:39] <IdleOne> gigasoft: welcome
[05:39] <Crash1hd> losha: lol I hear ya (Im not too worried I have dealt with worse) lol
[05:39] <sugi> scunizi: Thanks, i'll change my menu editor now. :)
[05:39] <vinpan> device /dev/sdc what dose that mean
[05:40] <Crash1hd> vinpan: not sure
[05:40] <IdleOne> vinpan: that is what ubuntu is naming your keyboard.
[05:40] <bullgard> How can I edit a Launchpad bug report that I have authored myself?
[05:40] <vinpan> ya but it wont install it stops at 47%
[05:40] <IdleOne> vinpan: how long did you wait?
[05:40] <rww> umm. /dev/sdc is a drive, not a keyboard
[05:40] <losha> Crash1hd: all filesystems get checked at boot, so it should've been covered.
[05:41] <tarelerulz> Is there a way to format a drive in fat32 ?
[05:41] <vinpan> 10 mins
[05:41] <Crash1hd> losha: odd
[05:41] <IdleOne> rww: yeah you are right.
[05:41] <Crash1hd> losha: is there a way to check like a log?
[05:41] <IdleOne> vinpan: forgive me /dev/sdc is a drive
[05:41] <rww> bullgard: click the little yellow circle next to whichever part you want to edit. If you want to edit the text, it's in the top-right of the text area.
[05:42] <IdleOne> vinpan: wait longer. be patient :)
[05:42] <losha> Crash1hd: there ougtht to be, but I don't know it. It's there somewhere because the showfsck command reads it...
[05:42] <vinpan> this is what it says....device /dev/sdc has a logical sector size of 2048
[05:42] <bullgard> rww: Ah, excellent! I had forgotten that little yellow icon. --  Thank you.
[05:43] <Crash1hd> losha: lol ok np :)
[05:43] <scunizi> tarelerulz: yep.. system>admin>partition editor  if it's not there install gparted
[05:43] <EastDallas> fezzler:  It looks like there are issues with Audacity and Jack
[05:43] <Erick_23> Help
[05:43] <Erick_23> :S
[05:43] <IdleOne> vinpan: is it giving any errors? if not let it do it's thing
[05:43] <rww> bullgard: You're welcome :)
[05:43] <vinpan> it just says warning
[05:44] <vinpan> and i clicked ok
[05:44] <sugi> scunizi: :/  sudo nvidia-settings still gives me the same error.
[05:44] <EastDallas> Fezzler:  I'm going to try with Ardour
[05:44] <vinpan> no error
[05:44] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> Ok
[05:44] <Erick_23> I was using compizconfig-settings-manager and now I cant see the menu :o
[05:44] <vinpan> so let it go and see what it dose
[05:44] <scunizi> sugi: what are you trying to configure.. what options?
[05:44] <Erick_23> where is my menus :O
[05:44] <vinpan> thx
[05:44] <IdleOne> vinpan: after clicking ok does the installer stop?
[05:44] <vinpan> no
[05:44] <IdleOne> vinpan: I would let it go and see what it does yup
[05:44] <vinpan> ok
[05:45] <EastDallas> Fezzler:  You can manually edit Jack settings, but Hydrogen and Ardour both do this automatically.  See: http://mikearthur.co.uk/2008/07/using-asoundrc-to-remap-alsa-channels-for-audacity/
[05:45] <sugi> scunizi: I just want to enable both of my monitors and save it to the xorg.conf :/
[05:45] <IdleOne> vinpan: takes about 30-45 minutes for the install to complete depending on your hardware may take a little longer
[05:46] <Fezzler> EastDallas>> Try Ardour test?
[05:46] <Erick_23> I need compizconfig-settings-manager to be reseted to its defaults how can I do that, I cant see my menu buttons =(
[05:46] <scunizi> sugi: you need to use xrandr .. use google for how to's.. after doing it you'll find it's not that hard and doesn't involve xorg at all.
[05:46] <IdleOne> !panel | Erick_23
[05:46] <jonzbcc> just learned awesomeness of `top` -- anyone else have hours of CPU time taken by Xorg? (someone run `top | grep -i xorg` who's `uptime` output is near 20hours, like mine??)
[05:46] <Erick_23> [idleOne] how??..
[05:46] <Erick_23> I cant even open the terminal!!
[05:47] <kostkon> jonzbcc, yeap, it's normal
[05:47] <jonzbcc> Erick_23: alt+F2  --then type xterm
[05:47] <IdleOne> !ping
[05:47] <IdleOne> !panels | Erick_23
[05:47] <sugi> scunizi: sigh, so I can't get it working with nvidia-settings then?  :/
[05:47] <Erick_23> I cant see anything
[05:47] <jonzbcc> kostkon: ... its WAY out of balance in comparisson to allll the other times. i never realized what a weight x was!'
[05:47] <warinthepocket> http://alpha2delta.blogspot.com/
[05:47] <jonzbcc> I spend most my time I gnome-terminal anyway!
[05:47] <Erick_23> it looks like everything is 100% transparent :S
[05:48] <IdleOne> Erick_23: lol
[05:48] <jtaji> jonzbcc: it is awesome... also check out htop for a nicer top
[05:48] <losha> jonzbcc: my uptime is generally in weeks. Top cpu user if always firefox, xorg is second by a factor of 10...
[05:48] <Erick_23> [IdleONe] 0.o I installed a theme.. I was configuring following some instructions.. suddenly the menu dissapears 0.o and all the windows went transparent!! :O
[05:49] <jonzbcc> losha: .. firefox, interesting. very interesting.
[05:49] <lotus> hi
[05:49] <jonzbcc> jtaji: `htop`... i'll try that righ tnow, thanks
[05:49] <scunizi> sugi: you might try nvidia-xconfig if that doesn't work then yep.. a couple of releases ago you would have been able to.. you can still use xorg.conf but you typically have to manually configure it.. then it will override xrandr settings.. the binary driver from nvidia will also write to xorg and then you might be able to use nvidia-settings..
[05:50] <IdleOne> Erick_23: ctrl-alt-F1 will take you to a terminal prompt from there you can login and run gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel to get back to the GUI ctrl-alt-F7
[05:50] <LzrdKing> jessie on mythbusters is cute
[05:50] <lotus> hello
[05:50] <sugi> scunizi: thanks scunizi.  I'll look into it. :)
[05:50] <jtaji> jonzbcc: hint.. with htop you can scroll around with arrow keys, and also click with your mouse
[05:51] <lotus> help help
[05:51]  * itilious gave up and went back to windows 7
[05:51] <jonzbcc> jtaji: lol, yeah using xorg's efforts lol
[05:51] <jonzbcc> !ask | lotus
[05:51] <jonzbcc> jtaji: that's REALLY nice output!!
[05:52] <jonzbcc> jtaji: I want to write some horizontal bar-graphs like that, that's impressive
[05:52] <widget> hi guys, is there a command to see if hardware is detected in my Laptop ? basically my WiFi and Touchpad isnt working.. Ive jsut installed 9.10
[05:52] <jonzbcc> widget: idk about a command, but you can go to your menu > system > administration > hardware detection
[05:52] <jonzbcc> widget: unless you don't have a window manager running?
[05:52] <bullgard> What is a "flat volume" in the sentence "Flat volumes are disabled by default on Ubuntu 9.10 " (see http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/UbuntuBugs)
[05:52] <scunizi> widget: sure .. sudo lshw .. will list all the detected hardware.. doesn't mean that there are drivers for everything thoughg.
[05:53] <scunizi> *though
[05:53] <ooze1> widget: try "lspci" in a terminal.
[05:53] <jtaji> widget: sudo lshw

[06:01] <Erick_23> anyone?
[06:01] <l0rd_hex> I'm getting this really weird problem, the software I'm compiling (which compiles fine on debian squeeze and centos 5.0) complains that sprintd is undefined.. sounds like a library issue to me but libstdc++ is installed
[06:01] <^paradox^> i put in a dvd to copy it and click on disc copy and specify the hp burner as the source and write to drive and it wont give me the copy button
[06:02] <l0rd_hex> *sprintf
[06:02] <widget> ooze1: ok ty :) , sry i didnt see your post earlier
[06:02] <kuttans> hello any networking gurus here
[06:02] <jonzbcc> ^paradox^: have you tried a different disk? maybe that one has been written to previuosly by accident?
[06:02] <gray_wolf> Does anybody know how to turn off the gdm "drum sounds" at start up in Karmic?
[06:02] <^paradox^> its just sitting now with the copy button grayed out
[06:03] <Erick_23> anybody knows how to reset my compiz settings :(
[06:03] <scunizi> ^paradox^:  DRM'd dvd?
[06:03] <jonzbcc> gray_wolf: go to sytem > preferences > start-up applications
[06:03] <^paradox^> ive tried dvds and an audio disc. no luck
[06:03] <berrybarry> zoug come back come back
[06:03] <jonzbcc> gray_wolf: and you can un-tick "start-up sound"
[06:03] <^paradox^> its never done this
[06:03] <kuttans> i would like to know where the changes i make in network manager applet are stored in filesystem. as there is no change in the /etc/network/interfaces file after i changed from dhcp to manual ip
[06:03] <^paradox^> ive copied dvds before without trouble
[06:03] <gray_wolf> jonzbcc: I already did, but it didn't do anything.
[06:03] <scunizi> ^paradox^: might be it doesn't like reading from the dvd and writing to it in one shot.. how bout making an ISO first then burning that?
[06:04] <jonzbcc> ^paradox^: did you read my message?
[06:04] <jonzbcc> ^paradox^: have you tried a different disk? maybe that one has been written to previuosly by accident?
[06:04] <fatface> when i go into sudo my environment variables arent being properly exported
[06:04] <kuttans> for example im using manual ip and i did it via network manager applet.  when i vi the /etc/network/interfaces i dont see those settings i made there. can anyone explain me where these changes are persisted
[06:04] <^paradox^> yes but it acts the same
[06:04] <fatface> echo ${PERL5LIB} is working
[06:04] <Erick_23> >I neeed help, I cant see my menus how do I reset back my ubuntu to its defaults at least!! :O
[06:04] <jonzbcc> fatface: can you specify exactly what you mean "go into sudo" - what are the exact things you type at the terminal
[06:05] <vegombrei> i cant get most features of compiz to work ... like them widgets thingy and also the fire thingy can someone help me with this??
[06:05] <^paradox^> scunizi: i was able to burn this way before
[06:05] <fatface> but when i type perl -le 'print $ENV{PERL5LIB}' it fails
[06:05] <fatface> both of those in sudo
[06:05] <jonzbcc> gray_wolf: well, i would think there's more a proper way to ddo it (througha preferences - in the sound window or something)
[06:05] <quietone> Erick_23: I've had success with right click and then add panel
[06:05] <Sagaci> jonzbcc: to use sudo (to elevate your privileges temporarily, you just need to type sudo at the beginning of a command
[06:06] <scunizi> ^paradox^: I've had funky issues with hp burners in the past.. are you able to test the burner on a different machine and OS?
[06:06] <kuttans> vegombrei: what help you want in compiz?
[06:06] <Sagaci> !sudo | jonzbcc
[06:06] <Erick_23> [quietone] I used Compiz.. and all menus dissapeared :O
[06:06] <^paradox^> i was able to copy a dvd by inserting the dvd and right clicking and selecting copy disc without using brasero
[06:06] <kuttans> vegombrei: dont try too many things with compiz it can simply break
[06:06] <jonzbcc> Sagaci: yes, but if he meant he was doing "sudo -i" that means he was logging in as root.. or sudo -i blahblah, he was logging in as blah blah - meaning he would have different aliases, and a slightly different feel to his shell
[06:06] <jonzbcc> Sagaci: thank you, though :)
[06:06] <Erick_23> [kuttans] I know I mest up rlly bad!!
[06:06] <fatface> but why are my variables not showing up in subprocesses?
[06:06] <^paradox^> i dont have a different machine handy
[06:07] <fatface> in my normal shell an echo and perl print of the variable do the same thing
[06:07] <jonzbcc> fatface: I definitely can't suggest anythig for you - especially being the issue is related in some way to perl (no experience there)
[06:07] <kuttans> Erick_23: then you may not return to a clean state.  i will recommend you to back up your system and re install
[06:07] <Erick_23> I need help all my menus dissapeared I need to reset compiz settings is there anyway of doing this?
[06:07] <Erick_23> is there like a recovery?
[06:07] <fatface> its not perl i use it as an example of getting at an environment variable from a subprocess
[06:08] <^paradox^> to do by right clicking on the dvd icon on the desktop took about 15 minutes total
[06:08] <kuttans> Erick_23: you mean that you dont have a panel or the title bar of the programs? which one you are not getting
[06:08] <jonzbcc> fatface: can you give some other examples of what's different?
[06:08] <Erick_23> [kuttans] neither
[06:08] <chatZilla> The following packages have unment dependencies:
[06:08] <^paradox^> i dont wanna spend that kind of time on every dvd i decide to copy
[06:08] <mobi-sheep> ^paradox^: Perhaps nautilus-actions and throw in there the commands to copy DVD?
[06:08] <chatZilla> ulite-deskto: Depends: blah, blah WHAT DO I DO?
[06:08] <vegombrei> kuttans: thanks for responding ... firstly i had a few issues installing compiz i also think i may have made a mess while reading forums i installed compiz then emerald then i kinda made a mess of things .. now i want those widgets that show cpu speed etc that looks quite cool and also some cool themes but i just cant get the themes to work as i think emerald dont work with karmic and my compiz isnt giving me many options
[06:08] <kuttans> ok you press alt+f2 and type metacity --replace to get all them back
[06:09] <Alan502_> jonzbcc, so, do you know if its possible to foce an app to connect to the internet through an specific network interface?
[06:09] <chatZilla> how do i make ubuntu automatically install all unmet dependencies
[06:09] <kuttans> vegombrei: those are all desklets or screenlets, you can get them by installing those applications
[06:09] <cyberjorge> how do I edit the Grub list? where is the file to edit, I can find a "menu.lst file under /boot/
[06:09] <losha> fatface: did you export them? variables have to be explicity exported in bash to show up in subprocesses....
[06:09] <quietone> Erick_23: have a loot at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-259831.html
[06:09] <Erick_23> [kuttans] it says: Unable to open X displau
[06:09] <ga_sk8er> i need help getting my webcam installed
[06:09] <jonzbcc> Alan502_: sorry, no. I would think that'd be a preference per the usual "set a proxy" pref. windows a lot of apps have. but doing if via the command line is probably a lot easier if you know how.
[06:10] <fatface> i have in my normal shell
[06:10] <scunizi> !grub2 | cyberjorge
[06:10] <^paradox^> and to think i just burned a picture cd with brasero with the internal cd burner yesterday
[06:10] <kuttans> cyberjorge: /boot/grub/grub.cfg if you are using grub2
[06:10] <^paradox^> never expected this
[06:10] <fatface> and sudo can even see them so long as im not printing it inside the subprocess
[06:10] <kuttans> cyberjorge: or else /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:10] <scunizi> ^paradox^: try k3b and see if it acts the same
[06:10] <jonzbcc> cyberjorge: are you using 9.10? I belive 9.10' uses grub2, which (i *think* uses a different config file)
[06:11] <Alan502_> jonzbcc, not enough knowledge of the command line here; i'll probably google for it. What keywords do you consider as accurate?
[06:11] <Erick_23> [quietone] there is no solution there :S
[06:11] <jonzbcc> cyberjorge: or differnet location, at least
[06:11] <ga_sk8er_> i have an intel sc430 webcam & cant get ubuntu to find a driver for it
[06:11] <cyberjorge> kuttans: thanks the correct file is ... /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[06:11] <kuttans> /boot/grub/grub.cfg is the file which lists the OS and other options
[06:11] <vegombrei> kuttans: should i do the alt+f2 metacity --replace??
[06:11] <losha> fatface: if you export from a shell, then invoke sudo, you have to re-export under sudo to get a subprocess to see the env variable, if you see what I mean...
[06:11] <cyberjorge> thanks people! :)
[06:11] <kuttans> vegombrei: the command metacity --replace replaces your window manager and it will get you back to the basic settings
[06:12] <jonzbcc> Alan502_: you know the more I think of it, the more I feel like it might be difficult. I'm not sure though. I think just what you're saying "force specific socket" or... idk, jus twhat you've bene asking here
[06:12] <^paradox^> scunizi: it is cd burning app and not just a frontend?
[06:12] <kuttans> hey anyone know about the networking applet persistance
[06:12] <kuttans> where the networkmanager applet store the static ip settings, its not in the /etc/network/interface file
[06:12] <scunizi> ^paradox^: yes.. pretty much the defacto standard..
[06:12] <fatface> so how can i make an environment variable that both me and sudo can both use?
[06:12] <ga_sk8er_> cheese wont find my camera & neither will ekiga
[06:12] <Alan502_> jonzbcc, well... i think i'll just google it myself :D thanks pal
[06:12] <fatface> in sub processes
[06:12] <Erick_23> so does any command reset all settings of compiz?
[06:12] <jonzbcc> Alan502_: I feel like that'd have to be something either allowed you via parameters programmed in... or you have to be able to reprogram the part that initiates a socket. i'm *totally* guessing all this though
[06:12] <scunizi> ^paradox^: sudo apt-get install k3b
[06:12] <jonzbcc> Alan502_: no rpoblem
[06:13] <kuttans> ga_sk8er: do lsusb and check wheter your cam is there or not
[06:13] <^paradox^> ok and btw im still getting used to linux. was a windows man so bare with me
[06:13] <losha> fatface: put the defs in a file and source them each time a shell starts. .bashrc or some such...
[06:13] <ga_sk8er_> kuttans Bus 002 Device 012: ID 0733:0430 ViewQuest Technologies, Inc. Intel Pro Share Webcam
[06:13] <scunizi> ^paradox^: np :) .. we all start somewhere
[06:13] <fatface> i have it in my .bashrc
[06:14] <kuttans> ga_sk8er check out the file /dev/video0
[06:14] <fatface> sudo doesnt run my .bashrc though, does it?
[06:14] <Hilikus> !tb
[06:14] <losha> fatface: I don't recall if sudo runs .bashrc. You'll have to read up...
[06:14] <cyberjorge> I'm trying to change the mnu.lst according to this guide... http://tinyurl.com/yhk6rs5  but it's too different with the grub.lst, is it still safe to follow that guide?
[06:14] <ga_sk8er_> kuttans how do i check the file out?
[06:14] <Hilikus> !ff3.5
[06:14] <Hilikus> !thunderbird
[06:14] <cyberjorge> kuttans: ?
[06:14] <fatface> i dont want to put my environment variables in two places
[06:14] <j9xinca> Hey quick question. I know the basics of programming in almost every language now, but i wanna focus my efforts on one language and become a guru in it. Which one would be the best to learn for developing programs for Ubuntu
[06:14] <kuttans> do cat /dev/video0
[06:14] <jonzbcc> fatface: if you just type "sudo" at the beginning of your command, nothing should change except the priveleges the process is started via
[06:14] <kuttans> yes cyberjorge
[06:15] <Hilikus> anyone knows how to install Thunderbird 3 in ubuntu?
[06:15] <cyberjorge> I see thanks!!
[06:15] <^paradox^> ok back in a minute
[06:15] <scunizi> cyberjorge: no.. that file gets overwritten on each boot.. look in the link ubottu provided earlier.. it shows where to edit
[06:15] <losha> fatface: try #bash
[06:15] <ga_sk8er_> kuttans cat: /dev/video0: No such file or directory
[06:15] <fatface> ok
[06:15] <jonzbcc> fatface: I haven't been following your convo, but from you last question ... your not actually changing shells when you type sudo at the beginning of a command
[06:15] <j9xinca> anyone know?
[06:15] <ga_sk8er_> kuttans is it a sudo command?
[06:15] <kuttans> ga_sk8er which ubuntu u are using?
[06:16] <widget> it's picked up "01:0b.0 CardBus bridge: Atheros Communications Inc. Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter (rev 32)' .. hoe do i go about installing it ? 9.10 only installed my etherenet
[06:16] <kuttans> no ga_sk8er
[06:16] <ga_sk8er_> 9.10 i386 version
[06:16] <scunizi> kuttans: thats not tru.. /boot/grub/menu.list gets overwritten on each boot.. it's dynamically generated..
[06:16] <ga_sk8er_> kuttans 9.10 i386 version
[06:16] <j9xinca> Which programming language would be best to develop stuff for ubuntu?
[06:16] <ga_sk8er_> kuttans desktop is in gnome (if that matters)
[06:16] <kuttans> no scunizi grub.cfg is not overwritten on every boot, only when you use update-grub
[06:16] <cyberjorge> scunizi: thanks for the warning, yes I notice that, can you give the link again?
[06:16] <mobi-sheep> Hilikus: Google "Launchpad, Mozilla Daily PPA" -- From there, you can add the latest stuffs from Mozilla (Thunderbird 3.0, Thunderbird 3.1, Mozilla 3.7, etc).
[06:16] <jonzbcc> j9xinca: actually, there's a really big ubuntu group *just* for that kind of question. I think there's even a sticky where *everyone* and their mother gave their two cents
[06:16] <losha> j9xinca: probably C or C++. Download the source to some of your favourite apps and see. Maybe start by bugfixing one or two of them...
[06:16] <fatface> in the same shell ill write perl -le 'print $ENV{PERL5LIB}' then do the same thing under sudo and it will not work
[06:17] <scunizi> kuttans: the link cyberjorge gave shows editing the older /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:17] <kuttans> and you can edit /etc/default/grub to make it permanant whenever you use update-grub command
[06:17] <Hilikus> mobi-sheep: i just want stable releases though
[06:17] <j9xinca> losha: thank you
[06:17] <scunizi> !grub2 | cyberjorge
[06:17] <quietone> Erick_23: Sorry. I was in a hurry
[06:17] <fatface> the environment variable will not be exported to it
[06:17] <j9xinca> jonzbcc: you know the link?
[06:17] <jonzbcc> fatface: what happens when you type that, after doig it with sudo?
[06:17] <graelb> Hello!
[06:17] <fatface> nothing gets output
[06:17] <kuttans> ga_sk8er then the system should automatically find your web cam there shouldnt be any problem
[06:17] <jonzbcc> mm... this is a monstrously disgusting/slow pc, give me a minute while i launch firefox
[06:17] <exsanet> umr6utl
[06:18] <Erick_23> [quietone] no problem am here trying to understand the console of compz
[06:18] <graelb> Does anyone know how to update intel graphics drivers on ubuntu?
[06:18] <kuttans> try to googling out please, bcoz i dont remember the exact commands to debug those programs
[06:18] <fatface> sudo echo $PERL5LIB will give me what i expect though
[06:18] <ga_sk8er_> cheese & ekiga wont show it
[06:18] <graelb> or even how to check what the drivers i have installed are?
[06:18] <mobi-sheep> Hilikus: Ubuntu's Policy is to work on security and bug fixes only. Thunderbird-3.0 will be in Lucid Repo. I'm using Thunderbird-3.1 -- You can install the 3.0 version.
[06:18] <ga_sk8er_> kuttans i asked friends on messenger & they couldnt view my cam either
[06:19] <jonzbcc> fatface: i'm totally at  a loss... again the lack of knowing perl
[06:19] <^paradox^> scunizi: looks like k3b is doing the job. will let u know afterwards
[06:19] <Hilikus> mobi-sheep: i see. i'll try that. thanks
[06:19] <kuttans> ga_sk8er i can understand that bcoz your cam is not recognised...is your cam come with special driver for linux, then you need to find it out
[06:19] <Zeppelin> i need help
[06:19] <Zeppelin> I restarted and now ubuntu messed itself up
[06:19] <Zeppelin> like
[06:19] <cyberjorge> scunizi: by the way I just want to make sure that my ubuntu karmic load the Xen kernel to support its host properly (xenserver), how can I check the kernel loaded when booting
[06:19] <cyberjorge> ??
[06:19] <U-b-u-n-t-u> my firefix is 3.5.6 pre  <<<< should I download the 3.5.6 from firefox site and install?
[06:19] <Zeppelin> the trash icon is in the middle of the taskbar almost
[06:19] <kuttans> or do you have v4l installed in your machine.if not try synaptic to install v4l2 then you will get the images
[06:19] <Zeppelin> and the running icons for xchat, sound, and network
[06:19] <mobi-sheep> !enter | Zeppelin
[06:19] <Zeppelin> are on the right, instead of the left.. what do i do?
[06:20] <ga_sk8er_> kuttans i dont think it has a linux driver. i went to intel site & they just want u to use the .exe to install in windows
[06:20] <graelb> Does anyone know how to update intel graphics drivers on ubuntu?
[06:20] <scunizi> cyberjorge: sorry I don't know the answer to that one.
[06:20] <quietone> I need help with sound. Want to use 9.04 sound preferences not the 9.10 one. How do I?  or Where can I get help?
[06:20] <scunizi> ^paradox^: gotta run.. good luck
[06:20] <mobi-sheep> Zeppelin: Fix it. Drag the applets around back to where it should be.
[06:20] <Madpilot> Zeppelin, you can move any of those applets around - rightclick and select Move, or just click with the wheel and drag
[06:20] <kuttans> zepplin : right click on the icond ,and click that unlock option and select move to move it anywhere you want
[06:20] <graelb> I'd like to upgrade my drivers to make sure they're the accelerated drivers
[06:21] <^paradox^> one more thing before ya go
[06:21] <arooni> how do i get the temperature of the cpu from the command line?
[06:21] <Zeppelin> Madpilot, what about the notification area
[06:21] <j9xinca> anyone have any views on UNR? i was thinking about putting it on my netbook
[06:21] <jonzbcc> j9xinca: still their? i found it... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=333867
[06:21] <kuttans> ga_sk8er: go to synaptic and search for v4l2 and install those packages there, then you replugin your cam or else restart
[06:21] <losha> fatface: the vsriable in sudo echo $PERL5LIB is evaluated in the current shell. not the subshell. Do some homework: man sudo and man sudoers. There's plenty of messing about with the environment going on...
[06:21] <Madpilot> Zeppelin, might be easiest to remove it then add it back to the panel in the spot you want
[06:22] <jonzbcc> j9xinca: actually, i loved it when I tried it (almost a year ago now)... but just recently I saw some screenshots of Moblin that made me wish I had a netbook again
[06:22] <ga_sk8er_> kuttans installing now
[06:22] <flexible> hey, after switching from GNOME to KDE, my audio doesn't work anymore...
[06:22] <flexible> how should i got about fixing it
[06:22] <^paradox^> what happens to that iso image when the burn is done? do i gotta delete that or will magically disappear?
[06:22] <kuttans> fatface: please be sure that you export env variables in the current shell. like you wont get the env of your shell after you do a sudo -i
[06:22] <Madpilot> Zeppelin, right-click on the panel, choose Add To Panel, and all the stuff is there - notification area, trash, everything is just an applet
[06:22] <kuttans> ok ga_sk8er
[06:22] <cyberjorge> Unlike Grub Legacy's menu.lst file, grub.cfg is NOT MEANT TO BE EDITED!!! ---- So how can I make my karmic boot to my desired kenel? Also how do I check which kernel I am booted on to?
[06:23] <Sagaci> cyberjorge: uname -a
[06:23] <pwd> cyberjorge: it's generated from other files, but that doesn't mean you can't edit it
[06:23] <kuttans> hey cybejorge its told that you dont edit grub.cfg bcoz its dynamicaly generated from a conf file /etc/default/grub file
[06:23] <bullgard> What is a "flat volume" in the sentence "Flat volumes are disabled by default on Ubuntu 9.10 " (see http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/UbuntuBugs)
[06:23] <jonzbcc> cyberjorge: I believe you're supposed to use a command grub-config??? or something...
[06:23] <ooze1> cyberjorge: type "uname -r"
[06:23] <fatface> so how do i make a variable that goes into sudo -i?
[06:23] <kuttans> cybejorge: so if you want to make any changes you have to change the file /etc/default/grub and run update-grub command from the command line as a sudo then you are done
[06:23] <jonzbcc> fatface: just a sec..
[06:23] <pwd> fatface: man sudoers env_reset
[06:24] <^paradox^> the one going to the tmp folder i mean
[06:24] <kuttans> you have to export it again after doing sudo -i fatface
[06:24] <indus> hi
[06:24] <snkcld> why does my volume become erratic when i close then open my laptop?
[06:24] <indus> folks
[06:24] <ga_sk8er_> kuttans still got nothing in cheese. think i need to restart?
[06:24] <jonzbcc> fatface: if you'd really like to have a better idea what's going on, this page is awesome: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[06:24] <kuttans> yeah try a restart or remove and replug your cam
[06:25] <cyberjorge> Sagaci, ooze1 that worked now I know I really need to edit my grub.lst
[06:25] <ga_sk8er_> kuttans or should i do sudo apt-get update
[06:25] <kuttans> no need
[06:25] <ga_sk8er_> kuttans already unpluged & plugged back in
[06:25] <Erick_23> I need HELP PLEASE :O RESET COMPIZ settings =( .... I already googled a lot.. went thru all help in console by typing gconftool -?
[06:25] <kuttans> try a restart then pls ga_sk8er
[06:25] <ga_sk8er_> kuttans brb. gonna try the restart
[06:25] <losha> bullgard: I'd never heard of it either: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/oh-nine-fifteen.html
[06:25] <soreau> Erick_23: ccsm>Preferences <-- Reset to Defaults
[06:25] <graelb> Does anyone know how to update intel graphics drivers on ubuntu?
[06:26] <Erick_23> [soreau] I need that in the console!!
[06:26] <hcook> hey guys, is there a setting someplace in gnome to make the 'places' menu items pop open on mouseover? so you can navigate the whole filesystem in a "startmenuish" fashion?
[06:26] <soreau> Erick_23: Why?
[06:26] <Erick_23> [soreau] cause I dont see the menu!! :S
[06:26] <kuttans> hello Erick_23 what you want to do you want your old window manager back or only compiz, deselect all the options in compiz and do a reload
[06:26] <beerkid> If I want to set up a cron job in Ubuntu (Say run /www/file.php once every hour then stop after 20 hours) would it go something like this? crontab -e and then 0 * * * * /www/file.php
[06:26] <hcook> or maybe someone knows a panel applet that does that?
[06:26] <kuttans> graelb: if you are using karmic then its using the latest dont worry
[06:26] <Erick_23> [kuttans] I cant open anything the only thing I see is desktop icons..
[06:27] <soreau> Erick_23: Which menu? like your panel?
[06:27] <cyberjorge> jonzbcc: can't find command like that, though I was able to nano the grub.lst if it safe to edit
[06:27] <soreau> Erick_23: Does Alt+F2 work?
[06:27] <bullgard> losha: Ah, excellent. Thank you very much for your help.
[06:27] <Erick_23> yes!!
[06:27] <graelb> kuttans, hrm. I'm trying to play kotor 2 on wine, but i'm getting all white textures, figured i'd try upgrading my drivers first
[06:27] <Erick_23> I am at alt+f2 right now in the console
[06:27] <soreau> Erick_23: If you can open Alt+F2, you can start programs from there
[06:27] <kuttans> Erick_23: click alt+f2
[06:27] <Erick_23> [soreau] how do I reset compiz settings thru there?
[06:27] <jonzbcc> cyberjorge: i'm sure it won't hurt to edit it yourself. as long as you read a bit of the man page (for instance, i see someone said grub-update, or something like that?)
[06:27] <kuttans> Erick_23 : and type metacity --replace
[06:28] <soreau> Erick_23: Run ccsm, then go to Preferences and click Reset to Defaults
[06:28] <cyberjorge> jonzbcc: hmmm.. thanks ok will do a bit of research
[06:28] <ga_sk8er> kuttans still nothing in cheese
[06:28] <Erick_23> [kuttans] I did and it says..: Window manager error: unable to open X display
[06:28] <kuttans> graelb: playing vgames on wine is bit of complex bcoz the graphics wont be that pretty
[06:28] <ga_sk8er> kuttans maybe my camera just isnt compatible for ubuntu
[06:28] <Erick_23> [soreau] how do I run ccsm
[06:29] <soreau> Erick_23: You are running that from tty 2, you need to get back to X and use Alt+F2
[06:29] <kuttans> ga_sk8er: can you try to open cheese via command line and tell me what it says?
[06:29] <^paradox^> lmao k3b has humorous sounds lol
[06:29] <Erick_23> [soreau] and how do I do that :O
[06:29] <jonzbcc> beerkid: I haven't looked at cron in a while, but I believe that what you have only runs on.. the 1st hour? of every single day. or, is 0 even valid?
[06:29] <soreau> Erick_23: Ctrl+Alt+F7 (or F8?)
[06:29] <ga_sk8er> graelb i tried to do halo on wine & it didnt even get to the main menu & screen just showed solid black. not all games work on here
[06:29] <flexible> can anyone help me get my audio working? after switching to KDE (kubuntu package), my audio no longer works...
[06:29] <ga_sk8er> kuttans how do i open it by command line. im newbie & need the command
[06:29] <Erick_23> [soreau] okay and then?
[06:30] <soreau> Erick_23: Alt+F2
[06:30] <Erick_23> [soreau] ready
[06:30] <kuttans> ga_sk8er:go to a terminal and type cheese
[06:30] <^paradox^> oh that music telling me the burn was a success tickles me
[06:30] <soreau> Erick_23: Now type ccsm
[06:30] <Erick_23> [soreau] Alt+F2 does not work so I did Ctrl+Alt+F2
[06:30] <fatface> is there anything special i have to do aftter editing the sudoers file?
[06:30] <hylian> !kmud
[06:30] <soreau> Erick_23: Then do DISPLAY=:0 ccsm
[06:30] <graelb> ga_sk8er, i've gotten it to work before... albeit on a different box, i'm just missing all my textures
[06:30] <jonzbcc> beerkid: this was my favorite walk through of cron: http://www.unixgeeks.org/security/newbie/unix/cron-1.html
[06:30] <soreau> Erick_23: Then get back to X
[06:30] <beerkid> jonzbcc does this look better -> 0 */1 * * *
[06:30] <cyberjorge> pwd: so it's pretty safe to edit to grub.lst? by the way can you help translate me this menu change in menu.lst to grub.lst understandable statement? http://tinyurl.com/yhk6rs5
[06:31] <ga_sk8er> kuttans it still just opens the cheese program
[06:31] <hylian> !ubuntu
[06:31] <ga_sk8er> kuttans shows nothing on terminal line
[06:31] <pwd> cyberjorge: i dont use grub 2
[06:31] <kuttans> Erick_23: good lah..........if you are in tty then you type sudo /etc/gdm restart which will get you back to the desktop

[06:31] <^paradox^> thanks to everyone who replied to me
[06:31] <hylian> !telnet
[06:31] <hylian> !ssh
[06:32] <losha> fatface: no, it should take effect immediately.
[06:32] <kuttans> ga_sk8er: you try in forum pls im sorry i may not be of much help then.
[06:32] <losha> fatface: no, it should take effect immediately, er that is, as soon as any subsequent sudos are run
[06:32] <deever> is there a solution to this grub2 "error: biosdisk read error" error on karmic with a raid/lvm?
[06:32] <kuttans> no one here to tell me about this network manager applet??????
[06:32] <ga_sk8er> kuttans try in forum? what do u mean. im still a newbie to linux
[06:32] <^paradox^> i really appreciate all your help. i know you guys dont have to be here doing this free
[06:33] <Erick_23> [soreau]
[06:33] <kuttans> ohh ga_sk8er: register yourself in the ubuntu forum and search under usb devices you may get solutions there
[06:33] <ga_sk8er> oh ok
[06:33] <hylian> why is telnet insecure, and what danger is there for not being secure through the old telnet protocol?
[06:33] <soreau> Erick_23: We only get highlighted if you use our nicks without the [brackets]
[06:33] <kuttans> ok guys, bye now gotta leave
[06:33] <ga_sk8er> kuttans what u mena by ur networking app? which one is it?
[06:33] <Erick_23> [soreau] is cause I use IRcap let me remov that option
[06:33] <mobi-sheep> hylian: telnet is okay (for local access).  It is not encrypted and everything can be seen easily (in plain text).
[06:34] <losha> hylian: anyone with a sniffer can see any username/password you type with telnet, but not with ssh
[06:34] <sri__> how to check virus flow on network???
[06:34] <jonzbcc> beerkid: the page I just sent explains that a slash is "steps". meaning */2 is every two days. so */1 would be the same as *. also, you seem to have been just find with starting the line with 00 -- finally, as far as a 20 hour limit... I think you should just have an if statement make that script useless after 20 hours. or... have a reminder email you if its been 20 hours.
[06:34] <hylian> i understand. thank you!
[06:34] <jonzbcc> beerkid: other than that, the 20 hour clause you've got doesn't seem like something to have cron handle. ( i could be wrong though)
[06:35] <Gab_> I POOP ON UBUNTU
[06:35] <Gab_> UNR*
[06:35] <Erick_23> ups
[06:35] <Erick_23> soreau
[06:37] <Erick_23> uhmm so how do I get compiz configuration back to the defaults on Ctrl+Alt+F2?
[06:38] <XO_Sun> avash
[06:39] <Crash1hd> I am having some trouble with my fstab anyone? anyone have any good fstab resources?
[06:39] <Erick_23> =( I cant get my compiz back to its defaults
[06:39] <Erick_23> at least someone tell me how to restore ubuntu.. to its defaults
[06:39] <mobi-sheep> Erick_23: Compiz? "compiz --replace"
[06:40] <guyster> Hi all, I installed alsa 1.0.21 on my Jaunty system to get support for my creative xfi card and am having a few problems.  For one, when I launch stella, an sdl-based emulator, I get a loud constant buzz.  Any ideas for fixing this?
[06:40] <soreau> Erick_23: From tty (Ctrl+Alt+F2) run 'DISPLAY=:0 ccsm' then go back to X and you should have ccsm open
[06:40] <soreau> Erick_23: If that does not work, try DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace
[06:42] <beerkid> Thanks jonzbcc - I think the way to do it is using something like 0 1-20 * * * which should make it run from hours 1 to 20
[06:42] <MAEL> hi huys
[06:42] <MAEL> guys
[06:43] <MAEL> I'm successful in establishing the wi-fi in ubuntu
[06:43] <MAEL> the problem now is, I can't install xchat or go this page in firefox in ubuntu (this is in pc)
[06:43] <cyberjorge> how do I choose a kernel other than default when booting karmic ?
[06:44] <alpocr_> anydoby knows programming in java ??
[06:44] <guyster> I would also like to add that this emulator was working with the stock alsa version in Jaunty.  I have disabled pulse before and after the upgrade.

[06:44] <mobi-sheep> cyberjorge: hold shift at grub boot
[06:44] <Fizix> cyberjorge, you can download Startup-Manager, a GUI for the GRUB that works well.
[06:44] <indus> mobi-sheep: cool fonts ,what are those
[06:44] <Erick_23> uhmm neither of thos commands worked to restore my Compiz configuration.. when I try Compiz --Replace.. it says.. checking for.. name... : Not present..
[06:45] <indus> hold shift at grub boot hmm
[06:45] <cyberjorge> mobi-sheep: cool! how did you do thaatQ!
[06:45] <MAEL> it has sumthing to do with java i guess
[06:45] <mobi-sheep> indus: Latin Extended and International Phonetic Alphabet
[06:45] <soreau> Erick_23: I didn't tell you to run compiz
[06:45] <mobi-sheep> alphawave: #java for Java, I think.
[06:45] <Erick_23> soreau I typed in each command u wrote :S
[06:45] <soreau> Erick_23: I told you to run DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace
[06:45] <mobi-sheep> cyberjorge: Magicbuntu! :o
[06:46] <soreau> Erick_23: Someone else told you to run compiz
[06:46] <MAEL> I tried installing java, succesful i guess, but it says it needs icedlemon, for ubuntu or sumthing
[06:46] <MAEL> any help?
[06:46] <cyberjorge> mobi-sheep: lol! that was really cool, but holding shift on boot didn't work
[06:46] <fatface> ok i got environment variables to work in sudo, however theres something sudo has against PERL5LIB (and me) and still will not pass that variable along to it
[06:46] <mobi-sheep> MAEL: Copy and paste the real message, please.
[06:46] <mobi-sheep> !paste | MAEL
[06:46] <Erick_23> soreau I did that and it says: Window manager error: unable to open X display
[06:47] <cyberjorge> Fizix: I don't have X
[06:47] <mobi-sheep> cyberjorge: Clean Karmic Install? You should hold SHIFT until you see "GRUB" and should get GRUB kernel list.
[06:47] <soreau> Erick_23: Ok, try this: sudo chmod -x $(which compiz)
[06:48] <soreau> Erick_23: After that, restart X
[06:48] <soreau> Erick_23: Or reboot
[06:48] <cyberjorge> mobi-sheep: yes, but using minimal CD and doing minimal install
[06:48] <funkiwan> for the love of all that is good and holy, can someone please help me figure out how to get wireless networking to work using wep 128 bit encryption?
[06:49] <MAEL> its too long to do, because the problem is in my laptop, and chatting in pc now
[06:49] <MAEL> but hold on
[06:49] <funkiwan> i've been banging my head against this all day
[06:49] <mobi-sheep> cyberjorge: There are #grub -- but I don't know if that's a problem. If it does not work, then perhaps you commented something when you edit the forbidden grub.cfg?
[06:49] <zoug> funkiwan: on karmic?
[06:49] <Erick_23> soreau I typed. sudo chmod -x $compiz
[06:49] <funkiwan> zoug: yes, off the boot cd
[06:49] <funkiwan> zoug: i can get it to work if i turn off encryption at the router
[06:49] <Erick_23> soreau it says chmod: missing operand
[06:50] <funkiwan> zoug: but when i turn on encryption, i can't connect
[06:50] <Kamokow> Does transmission support magnet links, if so, how can i get them working on karmic?
[06:50] <zoug> funkiwan: install wicd from synaptic
[06:50] <soreau> Erick_23: You're not listening
[06:50] <mobi-sheep> Kamokow: New 1.80 does. It's not part of Ubuntu repo (until Lucid) or you're welcome to compile it yourself.
[06:50] <soreau> Erick_23: sudo chmod -x $(which compiz)
[06:51] <Kamokow> mobi-sheep: Ok, thanks :)
[06:51] <funkiwan> zoug: trying now...
[06:51] <cyberjorge> mobi-sheep: no i didn't I got afraid of "grub.cfg is NOT MEANT TO BE EDITED!!!" all in red though it worked now. :D
[06:51] <mobi-sheep> cyberjorge: Cool. You learned how to do it the way it is meant to be. :)
[06:52] <Crash1hd> losha: alright I think all is well as II seem to be mounting things manually and I was having some issue (I think) not 100% sure atm lol but the fstab has some custom changes in it going to do more research
[06:52] <zoug> funkiwan: make sure you remove network-manager too
[06:52] <cyberjorge> mobi-sheep: yeah! thanks!
[06:52] <cyberjorge> now to figure how to make my karmic boot in XEN paravirtualized
[06:52] <cyberjorge> *now time to figure out
[06:52] <echotone> What might cause my screen to freeze and then fuzz up and reset my visual effects? It happens all the time.
[06:52] <Erick_23> soreau that did work :O
[06:52] <Erick_23> wow..
[06:53] <funkiwan> zoug: i'm not seeing wicd as an option. i'm trying to do this all while booted off the cd (e.g., not a full install). i want to verify ubuntu is going to work on this laptop.
[06:53] <Erick_23> soreau what does sudo chmod -x $(which compiz) do?
[06:53] <hanthana> is there any RHN (in redhat) kind of thing for Ubuntu support?
[06:53] <soreau> Erick_23: It made compiz non-executable so it couldn't be ran at all
[06:53] <Erick_23> :O
[06:53] <Guest24355> hello
[06:53] <fatface> ok i was able to get my changed version of the PERL5LIB in by setting the env_delete var to some nonsense (it complained about it being empty). Thats a relief
[06:54] <soreau> Erick_23: Now go to ccsm>Preferences and click Reset to Defaults
[06:54] <Guest24355> how to change my nick?
[06:54] <mobi-sheep> funkiwan: What make/model?
[06:54] <mobi-sheep> Guest24355: //nick IndusCookie
[06:54] <soreau> Erick_23: And to restore compiz to it's executable state, use sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/compiz
[06:54] <mobi-sheep> Guest24355: One slash, not two.
[06:54] <Guest24355> /nick TECNOPATA
[06:54] <Guest24355> yay?
[06:55] <Guest24355> /nick lol
[06:55] <Guest24355> i cant
[06:55] <funkiwan> mobi-sheep: wireless card? router? laptop?
[06:55] <mobi-sheep> Guest24355: One slash.
[06:55] <TECNOPATA> yay ty
[06:55] <mobi-sheep> funkiwan: The crotch warmer.
[06:55] <mobi-sheep> TECNOPATA: You're welcome.
[06:55] <jonzbcc> anyone know why $(ls -la) as well as `ls -la` works in bash scripts? Also, do you need the [brackets] in your if/then/else statements? I can use them both ways -- but with brackets I'm getting some different behaviour
[06:55] <iOmlette> Lot's of other fun commands begin with /, too.
[06:55] <funkiwan> mobi-sheep: velocity micro, dl71

[06:59] <soreau> Erick_23: And of course you want to do 'sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/compiz' then restart X
[06:59] <guatemal> funkiwan: man what are you telling?
[06:59] <balkierode> why is the script /etc/init.d/network is changed to networking?
[07:00] <^paradox^> ok now i need some help with transmission bittorrent client. in preferrences it says port 6881 is closed. when i was on a network with my gf i used ports 6881 thru 6889, but im no longer with her or on a network
[07:00] <balkierode> I see network-manager not working..
[07:00] <zoug> 9.10's networkmanager sucks
[07:00] <guatemal> Flannel: machikney randi ko chhoraoa lado kah

[07:00] <mobi-sheep> funkiwan: Is it a newly released netbook or something? There are not much of information on it.
[07:00] <TECNOPATA> ty, another question, where can i found a book of backtrack, like a bible, to learn to use all the awesome tools
[07:01] <balkierode> the gui shows it as disabled but when i right click it, it shows a tick in enable networking
[07:01] <lockd> 9.10 network manager seems to work far better than the early, flaky one from lenny
[07:01] <echotone> Out of 1300 people. Do any of you know why my screen would just bug out and freeze for a while, then look like an old fuzzy tv channel? It works for 15 minutes (give or take) then it freaks out and resets my visual effects on its own.

[07:01] <zoug> XO_Sun: exactly
[07:02] <kinja-sheep> TECNOPATA: The right place to ask that is in #remote-exploit
[07:02] <^paradox^> i need a hand with this cause i use torrents for more than entertainment
[07:02] <TECNOPATA> #remote-exploit
[07:02] <quietone> Erick_23: What was the answer? I have been trying to follow and it is difficult for me
[07:03] <kinja-sheep> funkiwan: I see. There are no confirmation about the make/model. You're encouraged to test it on LIVECD first. All wireless cards often need to be reconfigured. Things get wired backward and whatnot.
[07:03] <TECNOPATA> join #remote-exploit
[07:03] <Flannel> TECNOPATA: Try /join
[07:03] <Erick_23> quietone solution was sudo chmod -x $(which compiz)
[07:03] <quietone> ^paradox^: what do you mean by "gf"
[07:03] <zoug> funkiwan: all you need to figure out is the way to install wicd, given that you have no driver issues with your wireless or wired hardware..
[07:03] <^paradox^> im not behind a firewall
[07:04] <TECNOPATA> haha im banned,..?
[07:04] <^paradox^> quietone: girlfriend
[07:04] <funkiwan> zoug: okay, wicd is installed, now what?
[07:04] <quietone> Erick_23: and i guess you restarted compiz? how?
[07:04] <airtonix> !u | ^paradox^
[07:04] <zoug> funkiwan: reboot
[07:04] <kinja-sheep> ^paradox^: Set up a port forwarding on your router.

[07:05] <Erick_23> quietone and to make it executable again to type sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/compiz
[07:05] <kinja-sheep> !xen | cyberjorge
[07:05] <^paradox^> kinja-sheep: there is no router
[07:05] <TECNOPATA> and, how to have identity in a nickserv?

[07:05] <^paradox^> im not with her anymore and im not on a network anymore
[07:06] <zoug> funkiwan: try killing the network manager and start wicd
[07:06] <quietone> Erick_23: I don't know enough to know what process executes it. I was just wondering if you had to. It seems not, so my question is answered. Thank you very much.

[07:06] <^paradox^> mine is the only computer and im connected to the internet with charter communications cable internet service
[07:06] <soreau> quietone: Basically, chmod + or - x will set the executable flag for it. If it's not executable, it wont be able to run
[07:06] <agusj> can ubuntu desktop be used as server/router?
[07:06] <zoug> agusj: ofcourse
[07:07] <cyberjorge> thanks ubottu and kinja-sheep, but I'm not making ubuntu as the host, just as a guest of Xenserver 5.5
[07:07] <agusj> what additional software must I add?
[07:07] <kinja-sheep> ^paradox^: You can change the port number and retry.  Some ISP will try to prevent or reduce bandwidth.
[07:07] <indus> kinja-sheep: u and mobi-sheep the same?
[07:07] <quietone> soreau: yes, I know that. I just had it in my head that Erick_23 would have to restart compiz.
[07:08] <zoug> agusj: you can add what you want
[07:08] <Madpilot> agusj, depends on what kind of server you want to run. Apache and the basic webserver stack are all in repos, for starters.
[07:08] <zoug> agusj: depends
[07:08] <mobi-sheep> indus: Computer.
[07:08] <kinja-sheep> indus: Laptop,
[07:08] <^paradox^> kinja-sheep: ok but what if none of the ports 6881 thru 6889 work?
[07:08] <agusj> I just want to use it as router and manage proxy
[07:08] <kinja-sheep> ^paradox^: Try 8020? 14233? Make one up as long as it's over 6881, I believe.
[07:09] <Madpilot> ^paradox^, I know in deluge-torrent, there's an option for random port assignments - does transmission do something similar?
[07:09] <flexible> what do i use to check for updates in KDE?
[07:10] <qdb> hello. there is "master" process that runs as root in ubuntu 9.04 . what is this?
[07:10] <airtonix> Madpilot, yes it does
[07:10] <^paradox^> Madpilot: im not sure. im not really good with the technical stuff
[07:10] <agusj> does ubuntu support pc station/ thin client?
[07:10] <qdb> is it standart process? i fear it is spyware/rootkit
[07:10] <hash3g> anybody switches session to awesome from GNOME? i did it but sound stopped work.
[07:10] <Madpilot> flexible, #kubuntu is probably a better spot for KDE apps
[07:10] <pwd> qdb: init?
[07:10] <Madpilot> s/apps/questions
[07:11] <qdb> i do not understand, pwd
[07:11] <smbytes> how can i keep a script running after i've logged out?
[07:11] <smbytes> (python script, if it makes a difference)
[07:11] <qdb> it is "master" in system monitor
[07:11] <Madpilot> Kinder_Surprise, are you a bot? We remove uninvited bots from #ubuntu, you know...
[07:11] <^paradox^> im up to 6903 and still saying closed
[07:12] <qdb> pwd , what is init?
[07:12] <funkiwan> zoug: still can't connect. it connects fine if i disable wep. but when i enable it, using wep mode of "128-bit manually", with 113 hex digit pairs, it doesn't work
[07:12] <arghh2d2> init is what starts up your kernel
[07:12] <^paradox^> if charters blocking ports what other options are there? a proxy port or something?
[07:12] <funkiwan> zoug: 13, not 113
[07:12] <Crash1hd> losha: nah I think it was down to user stupidity lol on my part (I was trying to do fsck /dev/sdc and not fsck /dev/sdc1 lol not sure why I got sdc and not sdc1 from same with the other command using sdc and not sdc1
[07:13] <EastDallas> qdb: I have not process called master.
[07:13] <Madpilot> ^paradox^, finding out where transmission hides it's "use random port" option would be your best bet
[07:13] <airtonix> ^paradox^, have you checked the account page for you isp? (some provide a default port closed polciy that require you to open all ports at their node-point)
[07:13] <mustu> hi i did chattr -i on a directory but it still giving permission denied error when i do chmod on it
[07:13] <pwd> qdb: ini is the root process. are you saying you have a process called master?
[07:14] <mobi-sheep> Madpilot: It does say bot so I suppose it does count.
[07:14] <funkiwan> zoug: is there a certain way i should be entering in the key? caps or no caps? spaces?
[07:14] <qdb> yes
[07:14] <qdb> thank you, EastDallas
[07:14] <pwd> qdb: open a console and type which master
[07:14] <airtonix> ^paradox^, 1 also assume that you have already setup port-forwarding on your router/modem
[07:14] <qdb> pwd, it said nothing
[07:14] <^paradox^> airtonix: i can try finding that page, but im not sure where to look
[07:15] <pwd> qdb: type this: netstat -dap | grep master
[07:15] <EastDallas> qdb: http://linux.die.net/man/8/master
[07:15] <TECNOPATA> a channel for backtrack support?
[07:15] <Madpilot> mobi-sheep, yes, ran whois just after I asked in-channel :)
[07:15] <mobi-sheep> TECNOPATA: #remote-exploit
[07:15] <airtonix> ^paradox^, it's just a suggestion (since my isp does this as a default protection against noob windows users opening global port access to their samba ports)
[07:16] <khelvan> Hello, I had Jaunty running fine on my Compaq Presario laptop, but after upgrading to Karmic wireless sometimes dies (the light continually blinks blue/amber/blue/amber) and when I try to shut it down, I have to physically shut it off, because during the shutdown/reboot process it repeats this error over and over: b43-phy0 ERROR: Fatal DMA error: 0x00000400, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000
[07:16] <^paradox^> and there is no router. i had port forwarding set up when i was still on a network
[07:16] <TECNOPATA> /join #remote-exploit
[07:16] <zoug> funkiwan: key is always unique. enter as the original
[07:16] <EastDallas> qdb:  are you running a mail server?
[07:16] <airtonix> ^paradox^, so you just plug your computer into the wall and this cable goes straight to an exhange router somewhere in the suburb ?
[07:16] <^paradox^> but i cant find anything for ports now that mines the only computer. perhaps i dont know where to look
[07:16] <qdb> EastDallas, no
[07:17] <qdb> pwd, i cannot run netstat  need sudo and now i see again password changed
[07:17] <_Agent86_> Hi
[07:17] <pwd> qdb: your password doesnt work?
[07:17] <qdb> yes
[07:17] <tehbaut|> anyone know how to get hfs+ supported for new partition creation in gparted?
[07:17] <qdb> but i hope yet i just forgotten it
[07:17] <^paradox^> airtonix: im not sure how to answer. theres just my pc and a motorola cable modem
[07:17] <mobi-sheep> ^paradox^: You don't see Random Port in Transmission Preferences/Settings?
[07:17] <_Agent86_> quick question on getting kernel source - I need to get the source for linux-2.6.28-11-generic. Where would I get it?
[07:18] <Flannel> TECNOPATA: Please stop that, if you're banned from there, there's nothing we can do.
[07:18] <qdb> EastDallas, yes , i run postfix
[07:18] <Flannel> lastlog TECNOPATA
[07:18] <airtonix> ^paradox^, then your only other option is to investigate the possibility that your isp is providing a default port closed policy at their node-point.
[07:18] <EastDallas> qdb: there's your answer
[07:18] <qdb> ok, thank you
[07:18] <Madpilot> mobi-sheep, joining -ops just to trigger the alarm is not actually helpful - ops were aware of the bot, and joining -ops just to sound the alarm then bail doesn't actually tell us *which* channel you're alerting us too...
[07:18] <DazedNConfused> I just want to say thank you to whomever helped me get my ubuntu to boot agai!
[07:19] <airtonix> ^paradox^, or you can try using transmission with 'randomised ports' enabled
[07:19] <Flannel> TECNOPATA: You need to do the /join without any spaces infront of it, by the way.
[07:19] <^paradox^> theres no random port. there is automatically map port
[07:19] <qdb> my password is changed again
[07:19] <mobi-sheep> Madpilot: I read you. Over. ;(
[07:19] <airtonix> ^paradox^, http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/34620/screenshot_transmission_preferences_NO2s74.png
[07:19] <qdb> on time changed yesterday
[07:19] <qdb> what to do?
[07:19] <_Agent86_> I checked http://www.gz.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ but that goes up to <IP_ADDRESS> and then jumps to 2.6.29
[07:19] <cdocbo> can someone please help me get my tablet working.  It worked in 9.04 on my laptop, but my desktop with 9.10 I can't get the buttons working (movement works)  Gimp says "State: device unavailable: permission denied"
[07:19] <qdb> how to delete rootkit?
[07:20] <DazedNConfused> Again, thanks to some good knowledgable people!
[07:20] <EastDallas> cdocbo: what brand and model of tablet?
[07:20] <^paradox^> see my transmission doesnt look like that
[07:20] <Kamokow> where is vuze installed on 9.10 (using the repos)?
[07:20] <pwd> qdb: if you dont have root access then the machine is no longer safe. just be sure you didnt forget the password before reinstalling
[07:20] <funkiwan> zoug: i've entered the key so many times, never works
[07:20] <mobi-sheep> ^paradox^: Take a screenshot.
[07:20] <cdocbo> EastDallas, generic, it comes up as Waltop International Corp Slim Tablet
[07:20] <deever> is there a solution to this grub2 "error: biosdisk read error" error on karmic with a raid/lvm?
[07:21] <cdocbo> EastDallas, as I said, worked great on 9.04 on my laptop
[07:21] <^paradox^> ok give me a minute and ill screenshot it and post a link
[07:21] <airtonix> ^paradox^, http://pastebin.com/f61926c7c
[07:21] <^paradox^> back soon
[07:21] <qdb> pwd, i should reinstall?
[07:21] <qdb> cannot fix it?
[07:22] <sjd> hey, Im using Karmic. I want to hide all the icons on my desktop
[07:22] <sjd> can someone help?
[07:22] <EastDallas> cdocbo: does it work outside of gimp?
[07:22] <qdb> it can be in any file? can i automatically check all files?
[07:22] <pwd> qdb: if what youre saying is true; your root password does _not_ work (and you havent toyed around with associated settings), then yes, i would reinstall
[07:22] <airtonix> sjd, alt+f2 , then type : gconf-editor
[07:22] <cdocbo> EastDallas, for movement only, I cannot click anything
[07:23] <sjd> airtonix: okay. done
[07:23] <airtonix> sjd, look at tree path : apps > nautilus > desktop
[07:23] <sjd> airtonix: now?
[07:23] <qdb> pwd, which version of ubuntu is better? 9.10?
[07:23] <pwd> qdb: you can attemp to diagnoze why youve been compromised, but its going to end in a reinstall no matter what. its the best thing to do (the _only_ thing to do) when this happends
[07:23] <mobi-sheep> sjd: Yes, now. You asked for the help.
[07:23] <sjd> airtonix: ok, now?
[07:23] <airtonix> sjd, see the items in the right side with the word 'icon' in them ? (tic box options )
[07:23] <pwd> happens*
[07:24] <rhorse> Hi, my current version of *mount* in Elyssa is  2.13.1-5ubuntu1. It doesn't mount ext4 partitions. Any suggestions on mounting ext4?
[07:24] <EastDallas> cdocbo: have you seen this? http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1261407&highlight=waltop&page=117
[07:24] <airtonix> sjd, changes made here are instant
[07:24] <sjd> airtonix: only volumes_visible is ticked
[07:24] <airtonix> sjd, you can't hide desktop shortcuts
[07:25] <airtonix> sjd, well you can but you wouldn't get a right click menu anymore
[07:25] <sjd> airtonix: they are not shortcuts. but some folders i created
[07:25] <sjd> airtonix: no problem with that
[07:25] <cdocbo> EastDallas, no, reading it now
[07:25] <qdb> pwd, which version of ubuntu is better? 9.10?

[07:26] <sjd> airtonix: how to?
[07:26] <funkiwan> zoug: mobi-sheep: any idea what else i can try? this is killing me.
[07:26] <airtonix> sjd, ok you need to investigate 'how to prevent nautilus from auto starting per session'
[07:26] <mobi-sheep> funkiwan: What problem are you having?
[07:26] <qdb> which version of ubuntu is better against hackers/crackers? 9.10?

[07:26] <funkiwan> mobi-sheep: sorry, can't connect via wifi with wep 128-bit encryption
[07:27] <sjd> airtonix: okay
[07:27] <funkiwan> mobi-sheep: works fine unencrypted
[07:27] <Kamokow> Ok, how can i get firefox to handle magnet links (with Vuze (from repos)) on Ubuntu 9.10?
[07:27] <mobi-sheep> funkiwan: WEP is terrible and easy to crack. Go with WPA.
[07:27] <cdocbo> EastDallas, what file edits/makes this: /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-linuxwacom.fdi, the poster had different contents then mine
[07:28] <funkiwan> mobi-sheep: i'm using an older belkin router. wpa isn't offered.

[07:28] <hash3g> anyone knows how to solve sound problem when changing GNOME to awesome window manager. Seems that it mutes sound but alsamixer shows me that Master is not muted and i have to hear the sound :)
[07:28] <^paradox^> ok heres the client http://imagebin.org/75814 and the preferrences box http://imagebin.org/75815

[07:29] <Kamokow> airtonix: thanks ;)
[07:29] <mobi-sheep> funkiwan: Have you seen !wireless yet?
[07:29] <hash3g> pwd: it starts when my pc turning on :)
[07:29] <airtonix> Kamokow, this one is the most relevant it seems : http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+file+types
[07:29] <EastDallas> cdocbo:  what do you mean by "what file edits/makes this: /usr/share/hal/fdi"?

[07:30] <^paradox^> thats what transmission looks like on my computer
[07:30] <mobi-sheep> funkiwan: Any chance you can go on without encryption?
[07:30] <cyberjorge> how do I know my cdrom path?
[07:30] <cdocbo> EastDallas, the contents are an xml file, but I can't just add values that I don't know for my tablet.  Thing is, this worked on 9.04. >:(
[07:30] <airtonix> ^paradox^, image i posted was of the edit > preferences window
[07:31] <mobi-sheep> funkiwan: As a temporary solution or something. A new router costs about $20 today.
[07:31] <^paradox^> thats what i posted
[07:31] <airtonix> ^paradox^, did you mention somewhere here the version of ubuntu you are using ?
[07:31] <EastDallas> cdocbo:  The person that posted the resolution is using Karmic.
[07:31] <^paradox^> edit > preferrences
[07:31] <funkiwan> mobi-sheep: it's my housemate's router, but it's a good point
[07:31] <^paradox^> hardy heron
[07:32] <airtonix> ^paradox^, have you investigated the possibility of using a newer version of transmission ?
[07:32] <arghh2d2> use rtorrent ftw
[07:32] <^paradox^> i thought itd update itself like everything else
[07:32] <funkiwan> mobi-sheep: i've just been tentative b/c i don't want to go through the hassle of an install and then find out i can't do encrypted wireless
[07:32] <chris_> i want to create a custom bash script and have it run by just typing the file name. where do i place the script?
[07:32] <Stunts> Can someone tell me hiw to set the default sou d server on ubuntu?
[07:33] <arghh2d2> or deluge is good if you must have gui
[07:33] <airtonix> ^paradox^, not if you are just working off the default ubuntu hardy repositories
[07:33] <EastDallas> cdocbo is your fdi empty?
[07:33] <chris_> i think its /bin.bash right?
[07:33] <cdocbo> EastDallas, nope, it has several lines with WACOM tablets in it
[07:33] <chris_> bin/bash
[07:33] <^paradox^> great so youre saying it may not be working cause its old
[07:33] <cdocbo> EastDallas, and others.
[07:34] <hash3g> hm, starts gnome-volume-control-applet and set volume to max :)
[07:34] <mobi-sheep> ^paradox^: You're using Hardy Heron LTS (Long-Term Support) which is excellent for large businesses/institutions who does not wish to deploy every 6 months.  It is not old, but it is very stable.
[07:34] <hash3g> and sounds on
[07:34] <Stunts> Can some tell me how to change the os's default sound server
[07:34] <airtonix> ^paradox^, no it's working (but you're particular scenario requires options your version doesn't provide)
[07:34] <airtonix> ^paradox^, you could try using deluge
[07:35] <edbian> Stunts: you can start and stop sound server's by using "sudo /etc/init.d/<serverName> stop"
[07:35] <mobi-sheep> ^paradox^: You can install Transmission PPA which will enable you to obtain Transmission 1.76 (instead of whatever version you're on now).
[07:35] <edbian> Stunts: See my personal message?
[07:35] <Stunts> My problem is kinda odd
[07:35] <diffra> I have a USB sound device that's recognized by ubuntu (Line6 POD XT) that I can record from using arecord.  I'd like to pipe this to the sound output, but using /dev/dsp as the output file from arecord doesn't work.  Any ideas?
[07:36] <Stunts> Btw im on ipod so uh yea not so great at typing fast
[07:36] <^paradox^> mobi-sheep: ok so is there an easy update transmission? and if i instead use deluge what should i do with transmission?
[07:36] <edbian> Stunts: See my personal message?
[07:36] <mobi-sheep> ^paradox^: Deluge / Transmission / Vuze / rTorrent are all torrenting client. You are to do what you want with. I can supply you with easy way to update.
[07:37] <airtonix> ^paradox^, http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5604
[07:37] <quietone> Can I change the sound app (the little speaker on the panel) in 9.10 back to one in 9.04? how?
[07:37] <Stunts> I was asking this because my laptop has karmic on one partition and itdoesnt. Have any sound at all, unless i try tplay like an mp3 in vlc and set vlc to alsa
[07:37] <EastDallas> cdocbo, just back up the original file:  IN a terminal type
[07:37] <EastDallas> sudo cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-linuxwacom.fdi /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-linuxwacom.back
[07:38] <^paradox^> let me read airtonix link first and ill decide what to do. just give me a couple of more minutes please thanks
[07:38] <airtonix> ^paradox^, if you follow instructions there for hardy you be able to get latest version
[07:38] <EastDallas> cdocbo do you have a section that looks even close to what's in that code box?
[07:38] <^paradox^> alrighty ill look at it :-)
[07:39] <^paradox^> back in a minute or two
[07:39] <EO_> How do you show the license (GPLv2, GPLv3, etc) of each package on an ubuntu system?
[07:39] <diffra> okay, correction, i can get sound to come out by piping to /dev/dsp, but it's garbage.
[07:39] <diffra> if i pipe to a file then play it, it works, so it seems like a codec/format issue?
[07:41] <four> hi can someoen tell me how to change the icon for my gnaome-main-menu applet?
[07:42] <amurabi> hi
[07:42] <amurabi> hello
[07:42] <amurabi> ls
[07:42] <amurabi> -lrt
[07:42] <amurabi> #WHO
[07:43] <wolter> four, there are a lot of guides, google it
[07:43] <^paradox^> airtonix: ok i read it, but theres a lot there. exactly what from that page am entering to terminal? and do i enter it one line at a time?
[07:43] <arghh2d2> four: find the icon in /usr/share/icons or wherever it is and delete and put in your own .png file under it's name?
[07:43] <airtonix> ^paradox^, you need to read through the first post.
[07:44] <mobi-sheep> ^paradox^: Close Transmissions. Open a terminal and run "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa && sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade" -- That is it.
[07:44] <airtonix> ^paradox^, first thing to do is : gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/transmission.ppa.list
[07:44] <airtonix> mobi-sheep, doesn't work on hardy
[07:45] <mobi-sheep> Oh that's right. New feature in Karmic. >_>
[07:46] <^paradox^> k im not sure whos suggestion to with
[07:46] <^paradox^> to go with
[07:46] <four> can someone tell me how to change the icon for my gnome-main-menu applet?
[07:46] <airtonix> ^paradox^, follow me.
[07:46] <cdocbo> EastDallas, thanks, I tried that post you gave me, crashed my system.  And then x would segfault on reboot.  So it didn't work for me.  Why is this now broken in a newer version of ubuntu?
[07:47] <airtonix> ^paradox^, let me know when you have gedit with that file open.
[07:47] <arghh2d2> four: i told you one way to do it, google could tell you other ways
[07:48] <EastDallas> cdocbo: I guess you backed it up first.  I posted for u to do that, but you were already gone.  I have no idea why it doesn't work.  Have you tried re-installing drivers?
[07:48] <four> arghh2d2, i must have missed you telling me, could you repeat please?
[07:48] <^paradox^> so enter the command gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/transmission.ppa.list?
[07:48] <cdocbo> EastDallas, there are no drivers for it, it's a usbhid device
[07:48] <airtonix> ^paradox^, yes
[07:48] <mobi-sheep> ^paradox^: It is not complicated. What airtonix and I suggest is that you include the new PPA repo for transmission to be upgraded.
[07:48] <arghh2d2> four: find the icon in /usr/share/icons or wherever it is and delete and put in your own .png file under it's name?
[07:49] <EO_> Ubuntu doesn't record per-package license data, does it :(
[07:49] <airtonix> mobi-sheep, it's complicated until you understand the process and the effect it has.
[07:49] <^paradox^> sorry lol learning here opening terminal and fixing to enter it
[07:49] <quietone> four: I've changed icons using system->pref->main menu
[07:49] <wolter> EO_, what do you mean?
[07:49] <cdocbo> this may be related to the other people who are having problems with mouse clicks not working (flash, eclipse, etc.)
[07:49] <deever> is there a solution to this grub2 "error: biosdisk read error" error on karmic with a raid/lvm?
[07:49] <arghh2d2> four:  i dont know the name or location of the icon.png so you might wanna google it
[07:50] <EastDallas> cdocbo:  I actually have this same tablet (aiptek brand) but hardly ever use it.  Haven't even tried since Karmic.
[07:50] <cdocbo> my logitech laser g9 didn't work in flash (youtube) either.
[07:50] <EO_> wolter: well with "rpm -qi cpio" I can see stuff like "License: GPLv3"
[07:50] <EastDallas> cdocbo: There is a driver you can make for it.
[07:50] <EO_> wolter: I can't find an equivalent method in ubuntu.
[07:50] <cdocbo> EastDallas, well it worked without any hacking on 9.04.  I was thrilled...
[07:50] <wolter> EO_, oh sorry I don't know about that
[07:51] <airtonix> EO_, the equivilant program you'll use to do that will be dpkg
[07:51] <^paradox^> ok that brought up a blank document
[07:51] <cyberjorge> how do I find my CDROM path and mount it for use?
[07:51] <airtonix> ^paradox^, now paste the contents of this pastebin (http://paste.ubuntu.com/343345/) into that file and save it then exit gedit.
[07:51] <airtonix> EO_, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/en/man1/dpkg.1.html
[07:51] <cdocbo> I really regret upgrading to 9.10.
[07:51] <edbian> cyberjorge: personal message me!  I can help you :)
[07:52] <four> \aar.
[07:52] <^paradox^> k hangon
[07:52] <Robbie_Crash> edbian, fix problems in channel so that everyone can benefit from your fix
[07:52] <chris_> any one know how to get specific data from grep?
[07:52] <Robbie_Crash> chris_ what do you mean?
[07:52] <edbian> Robbie_Crash: I'll ask him if he's up for it.  I find it annoying
[07:52] <^paradox^> with the numbers or without?
[07:52] <chris_> grep returns 4 cols of data, i want the data in the 3 col
[07:52] <cdocbo> chriss_: can you be more specific?
[07:52] <edbian> Robbie_Crash: With so much jabber in the background and all.
[07:52] <EO_> airtonix: yeah there's no license data
[07:53] <airtonix> ^paradox^, after that : execute the two lines in this pastebin to add the repositories gpg key to your apt client : http://paste.ubuntu.com/343354/
[07:53] <iego> *cough*awak*cough*
[07:53] <iego> awk*
[07:53] <Robbie_Crash> edbian, I get it, but there've been numerous times where people have said something akin to "That's exactly why I was here1!"
[07:53] <chris_> This is my search result "0 R 1000 8519 1 84 80 0 - 22466 - ? 00:20:14" but the only data i want is the 4th set of numbers
[07:53] <cdocbo> chris_: grep | awk '{print $1 $2 $3}'   or you could grep | cut -d ' ' -f 1-3
[07:54] <chris_> cdocbo: aha!
[07:54] <Robbie_Crash> cdocbo is way quicker on the awk syntax than I can even hope to be
[07:54] <cdocbo> chris_: ah, so use awk $4 or cut -d ' ' -f 3
[07:54] <cyberjorge> edbian: please show me my cdrom :)
[07:54] <^paradox^> are the numbers before each line supposed to be pasted as well?
[07:54] <edbian> k
[07:54] <chris_> cdocbo: wow thats a ton!
[07:54] <iego> ^paradox^, no

[07:54] <edbian> cyberjorge: Fire up a terminal and cd to /dev
[07:54] <^paradox^> k just checking
[07:55] <tarelerulz> I just handbrake for Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit and Make Theora video , Vorbis sound , mulit-subtitles , chapter and all that in mkv.  Nothing beside totem plays it .  Can anyone help
[07:55] <EastDallas> cdocbo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AiptekTablet
[07:55] <edbian> cyberjorge: Are you running a graphical version of ubuntu or is the server?
[07:55] <airtonix> EO_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341232
[07:55] <EastDallas> cdocbo:  there's a ton out there on this tablet with ubuntu
[07:55] <Aiya> I cant install ubuntu 32 bit?
[07:55] <Aiya> Why?
[07:55] <cyberjorge> edbian: minimal install and only fluxbux installed
[07:56] <edbian> cyberjorge: So it doesn't automatically mount the cd for you right?
[07:56] <cyberjorge> edbian: yes :(
[07:56] <EastDallas> cdocbo:  btw...that ubuntu doc page is, surprisingly, up to date...
[07:56] <^paradox^> ok ive pasted from the first pastebin and saved it and quit
[07:56] <airtonix> ^paradox^, once you have the key run : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install transmission
[07:56] <cdocbo> EastDallas, shame too, because "it just worked" in 9.04.  I didn't edit or configure anything.
[07:56] <cyberjorge> edbian: tried dmesg but i get confused with the proper path
[07:56] <edbian> cyberjorge: no worries,  first you need to cd to /dev and type ls to get a list of the files in there.  If you have only 1 cd-drive it should show up as a file named "cdrom" or something similar
[07:56] <EO_> airtonix: seriously, there's no license there either :)
[07:57] <airtonix> ^paradox^, goto the second pastebin and run the two commands first
[07:57] <cyberjorge> edbian: ok
[07:57] <^paradox^> ok gotta scroll back up
[07:57] <edbian> cyberjorge: Think you found it?
[07:57] <EO_> airtonix: if you read the man page "License" is not one of the known columns (or anything else license-sounding)
[07:57] <cyberjorge> edbian: yes! cdrom
[07:58] <^paradox^> do those need to be executed one at a time?
[07:58] <airtonix> EO_, it does have a parameter but its to show the liscene of dpkg only
[07:58] <tarelerulz> Sorry closed out .  Really is totem that much newer then mplayer . So it would play  Theora video
[07:58] <airtonix> ^paradox^, yes
[07:58] <^paradox^> ok
[07:58] <cdocbo> EastDallas,  don't have xserver-xorg-input-aiptek installed, maybe that is it.  Odd that it works for pointer movement
[07:58] <Robbie_Crash> Can someone recommend a good BASH scripting tutorial?
[07:58] <edbian> cyberjorge: Ok cool.  Now you need to make a file somewhere that is appropriate to mount he cd drive into.  The customary place is inside /media.  I suggest you "sudo mkdir /media/cd" or something similar.
[07:58] <EO_> airtonix: yeah, which is not able to show license of the packages themselves.  I just str8 up don't think ubuntu stores this info anywhere.
[07:58] <airtonix> EO_, the other option you have is using dpkg to find the install location of the package contents so it will most likely show the liscence file in that list
[07:59] <EastDallas> cdocbo:worth a try
[07:59] <^paradox^> k it took over as soon as i pasted them
[07:59] <Robbie_Crash> I'm familiar with programming, but haven't ever bothered learning shell scripting. I'm ish with Perl, decent with Python, and can read VBScript. Just need something that shows bash syntax and such.
[07:59] <mobi-sheep> Robi
[07:59] <EO_> airtonix: you mean a LICENSE file as part of the package's file list?
[07:59] <mobi-sheep> Robbie_Crash: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide
[07:59] <Robbie_Crash> mobi-sheep Thanks
[08:00] <airtonix> EO_, yes (it's just an assumption)
[08:00] <cyberjorge> edbian: in the context of this, http://tinyurl.com/yanfvv3 can i just change "xvdd" to cdrom?
[08:00] <arghh2d2> Robbie_Crash: google, theres tons of guides/tutorials
[08:00] <^paradox^> ok thats done
[08:00] <EO_> airtonix: yeah, I guess that might work in some cases.  certainly not the robust audit I was hoping to do.  :(
[08:00] <airtonix> ^paradox^,  run : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install transmission
[08:00] <alabd> CShadowRun: Hi ,  should a user be programmer to know what a close software do after running as you said it is extremely hard ?
[08:00] <^paradox^> ok
[08:00] <airtonix> EO_, yes seems to be an oversight.
[08:01] <edbian> cyberjorge: This is getting thick! :)  Do you have a /mnt/xs-tools folder?  That looks correct other than that detail.
[08:02] <cyberjorge> edbian: seems to work man! yes I have that already. Problem now is that Ubuntu is not supported. :( that's another topic
[08:02] <edbian> cyberjorge: C
[08:02] <edbian> cyberjorge: Good luck man!  I'm glad I could help :)
[08:03] <cyberjorge> edbian: yes thank you very much! ;) ls did he trick
[08:03] <edbian> cyberjorge: Anytime
[08:03] <cyberjorge> *ls did the trick
[08:03] <alexassa> ola,alguem aki?
[08:04] <^paradox^> its installing, but says they werent authenticated
[08:04] <dida> hi all, pls bear with me for a stupid question.
[08:04] <airtonix> ^paradox^, one thing we should of taken care of before updating was to remove the old version (did you do this already)
[08:04] <^paradox^> and it looks like its done
[08:04] <dida> do i have to restart if i changed the timezone?
[08:04] <alexassa> ola
[08:04] <mobi-sheep> dida: No.
[08:04] <dida> dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
[08:04] <^paradox^> no i didnt
[08:04] <kinja-sheep> dida: Oh through tzdata? I don't know.
[08:05] <mneptok> dida: no
[08:05] <airtonix> ^paradox^, ok : sudo apt-get remove transmission && sudo apt-get purge transmission
[08:05] <dida> what about mysql?
[08:05] <^paradox^> ok
[08:05] <denysonique> dida: GNU/Linux is an operating system designed not to be needed to restart
[08:05] <mneptok> dida: sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata && sudo ntpdate
[08:05] <client03> nto
[08:05] <dida> i mean to update the automatic timestamp function (mysql)
[08:05] <denysonique> dida: /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[08:06] <dida> do i need to restart mysql?
[08:06] <^paradox^> these are also separate commands?
[08:06] <mneptok> dida: no, you do not
[08:06] <denysonique> dida: probalby
[08:06] <siera04> can anybody tell me the light doc2pdf convertor??
[08:06] <dida> ok, thanks everyone
[08:06] <vegombrei> kinja-sheep: i still cant get themes to work .... i downloaded this theme avalon compiz emerald theme that loads in an application called emerald theme manager but doesnt execute
[08:06] <denysonique> siera04: abiword
[08:06] <mneptok> dida: if you changed its configuration, ues. if you changed timezone, no.
[08:06] <airtonix> ^paradox^, that can be run as one command (but yes it is two separate commands)
[08:06] <edbian> vegombrei: Are you sure you're using emerald?
[08:07] <^paradox^> so just run them as is with the &&?
[08:07] <airtonix> ^paradox^, also I gave you the  wrong key , the correct set of commands to get the key you want is : http://paste.ubuntu.com/343366/
[08:07] <kinja-sheep> !emerald | vegombrei
[08:07] <airtonix> ^paradox^, yes or you can run them separately with out the &&
[08:07] <edbian> vegombrei: what happens if you type "emerald --replace" into a terminal ??
[08:07] <vegombrei> edbian: how does one check ?? im on karmic .. could you tell me how i can run the theme thru compiz?
[08:07] <airtonix> ^paradox^, && means run the first command and then when thats done run this one after the &&
[08:08] <vegombrei> edbian: i donno i havent typed that yet ... hold on ..
[08:08] <edbian> vegombrei: "emerald --replace"  Do you have the emerald them manager?
[08:09] <vegombrei> edbian: it just worked when i did the emerald --replace
[08:09] <vegombrei> edbian: the theme is on
[08:09] <tarelerulz> Any one make Theora video , vorbis audio , multi-audio and subtitles , mkv  720x480 res 1.2 gb movies ? Nothing ,but totem will play it . any help
[08:10] <edbian> vegombrei: Now you want it to do that everytime without having to load that terminal right??
[08:10] <^paradox^> i did the remove and purge. can you go thru the key thing with me so i can get the right key?
[08:10] <siera04> can anybody tell me the light doc2pdf convertor??
[08:11] <MrSchaapman> Is there any way I can synchronize my MTP player with my music library?
[08:11] <airtonix> ^paradox^, run each line in this pastebin separatly : http://paste.ubuntu.com/343366/
[08:11] <MrSchaapman> I want something that'll let me transfer all my playlists and music.
[08:11] <wolter> siera04, if you don't mind, openoffice writer can do it for you
[08:11] <^paradox^> ok
[08:11] <vegombrei> edbian: yes
[08:12] <denysonique> siera04: abiword, works from the command line as well
[08:12] <edbian> vegombrei: Do you have ccsm installed?
[08:12] <siera04> wolter: thanks, openoffice is big for me.
[08:12] <airtonix> vegombrei, aka compizconfig-settings-manager
[08:12] <^paradox^> ok i ran those it took over
[08:13] <vegombrei> edbian: i donno.. im a noob.. have much to learn.. how do i check if i have ccsm and what is that?
[08:13] <airtonix> ^paradox^, nice, now install transmission again (it should grab it from the new source, see if you notice the server url it grabs it from )
[08:13] <siera04> denysonique: thhanks, abiword can convert MS word to PDF?
[08:13] <denysonique> siera04: probably
[08:13] <airtonix> ^paradox^, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install transmission
[08:13] <^paradox^> ok
[08:13] <airtonix> vegombrei, ccsm is short for : compizconfig-settings-manager
[08:14] <airtonix> vegombrei, you'd know if you have it installed if that entry is in your main system preferences menu
[08:14] <edbian> vegombrei: You're running compiz which adds all the neat effects to your desktop.  (wobbly windows and the wall and all that).  You can change it's ridiculous range or settings with ccsm.  It's a package in the repos.  It stands for compiz config settings manager.  "sudo apt-get install compiz-config-settings-manager"  to install it.
[08:14] <MrSchaapman> Anybody? MTP syncing?
[08:15] <denysonique> siera04: http://opensource.weblogsinc.com/2005/06/29/use-abiword-to-convert-filetypes-on-the-command-line/
[08:15] <edbian> vegombrei: Once you have it, it should show up in System -> Preferences -> Compizconfig...
[08:15] <^paradox^> that went by a little too fast to catch the url
[08:15] <airtonix> MrSchaapman, it's a fairly common task, perhaps there are many guides already written about it ?
[08:15] <siera04> denysonique: let me see it.
[08:16] <siera04> and you know xls2pdf tool, too?
[08:16] <jjseven> eeepc problem. ubuntu disables wifi on bios. how can fix this?
[08:16] <edbian> jjseven:
[08:16] <vegombrei> edbian: i just cecked it all out ..im running compiz with all cool effects
[08:16] <denysonique> siera04: no I don't
[08:16] <airtonix> ^paradox^, not to worry, you can check that the new version is installed by running  : sudo dpkg -l | grep transmission
[08:16] <siera04> :)
[08:16] <edbian> vegombrei: Do you have the settings manager I was talking about?  In System -> Preferences ??
[08:17] <airtonix> ^paradox^, thats an L not an I
[08:17] <vegombrei> edbian: yes
[08:17] <chris_> i am using "if [ -n $search ] ; then" to see if $search is empty. does that look correct?
[08:17] <jjseven> i can dual boot on eeepc everything works.. just wifi gets disabled when i restart
[08:17] <jjseven> edbian: any suggestions?
[08:17] <edbian> vegombrei: There is a LOT in there.  Mess around with it some time and learn what it all does! :)  Anyway, go to the "window decoration" plugin
[08:17] <^paradox^> is the right version 1.76 (9395) ?
[08:18] <edbian> jjseven: Does it turn the card off in the bios on shutdown?
[08:18] <cdocbo> EastDallas, ah, tried everything on the wiki page, no dice
[08:18] <mobi-sheep> ^paradox^: Correct.
[08:18] <airtonix> ^paradox^, yes... ok your edit > preferences window in transmission should look more like my original screenshot
[08:19] <jjseven> edbian: yes. i think it does. everytime i have to turn the card back on on bios. extremely weird
[08:19] <^paradox^> alright let me open it
[08:19] <airtonix> ^paradox^, assuming that you've made sure that transmission is not running prior to all these steps you;ve taken (if its still running kill it )
[08:19] <edbian> jjseven: Try "sudo modprobe -r <moduleName>" the module for your card.  "sudo lspci -k" to find the module name
[08:19] <vegombrei> edbian: okim at the window decoration plugin
[08:19] <jjseven> edbian: i am in windows now
[08:19] <^paradox^> i did and reopened it just now
[08:20] <^paradox^> under preferrences what tab do i want?
[08:20] <regex> what is the default interactive shell for ubuntu? cause when im using CLI and i run xterm, it looks very different to what the default CLI loooks like
[08:20] <mobi-sheep> regex: Bash?
[08:20] <denysonique> regex: shell or terminal emulator?
[08:20] <regex> or not shell but rather window manager?
[08:20] <edbian> vegombrei: see the line "command" ?? In that box put "emerald"  I'm not sure if you're going to need "emerald" or "emerald --replace"  Try each one.  After you restart it should now start emerald instead of metacity.  :)  Good luck!
[08:20] <mobi-sheep> regex: Gnome-Terminal.
[08:20] <regex> sorry that was worded wrong
[08:20] <jjseven> ar9825 is the card. let me boot to linux edbian
[08:21] <airtonix> ^paradox^, network
[08:21] <jjseven> thanks alot. i'll be back
[08:21] <^paradox^> and pick a random port every time it opens?
[08:21] <edbian> jjseven: I had a similar issue.  I had to "sudo modprobe -r viaRhine" on every shut down so that my wired interface didn't dissappear after every reboot.  I wrote a shutdown script.
[08:21] <airtonix> ^paradox^, correct, time to see if that solves your isp restrictions
[08:21] <_Agent86_> hi
[08:21] <vegombrei> edbian: in the command space its says /usr/bin/compiz-decorator ... you want me to replace that?
[08:22] <dandre> hello,
[08:22] <regex> is there an advantage of using one "terminal emulator" in comparisoon to others
[08:22] <edbian> vegombrei: Yeah, you want to use emerald
[08:22] <denysonique> regex: try them all :)
[08:22] <_Agent86_> my kernel download question again...need to download source for linux-2.6.28-11-generic. Where would I get it?
[08:22] <funkiwan> mobi-sheep: any recs for a decent wireless router?
[08:22] <lightbricko> How do I see/enable a boot log? In "System" -> "Administration" -> "Log File Viewer" -> "boot" it sais "(Nothing has been logged yet.)".
[08:22] <edbian> vegombrei: The box should have nothing else in it besides "metacity"
[08:22] <mobi-sheep> funkiwan: Recs?
[08:23] <^paradox^> actually its now saying port 6885 is open
[08:23] <funkiwan> mobi-sheep: recommendations?
[08:23] <edbian> vegombrei: Sorry: typo, the box should have nothing else in it besides "emerald" or "emerald --replace"
[08:23] <airtonix> ^paradox^, this is a good sign...see how that goes for you
[08:23] <vegombrei> edbian: oh ok ill try that
[08:23] <edbian> vegombrei: NP! :) Good luck! :)
[08:24] <bullgard> Why are there duplicate desktop configuration files in /usr/share/applications/ , for example Brasero?
[08:24] <^paradox^> ok ive know bothered you a good bit, but could you possibly help me with a few a settings?
[08:24] <mobi-sheep> funkiwan: Err. To each his own. Myself, I'd find a router that is compatible for Tomato Firmware (http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato) and flash it to take full advantage. Most common routers have WPA support.
[08:24] <dandre> I just have updated from jaunty to karmic and my firefox dosn't work properly. When I quit properly, sometimes, if I launch it again it shows a message that it hasn't been quit nicely and propose to restore or open a new session. Is this a knowbug? What could I do?
[08:24] <tarelerulz> Have any of you ripped movie into Theora vidoe , Vorbis audio and mkv container ?
[08:25] <plunked> quick question - what is the gnome de meta package?
[08:25] <mobi-sheep> funkiwan: That is crazy, right? Go to store and find a router for decent price is all I can say.
[08:25] <airtonix> ^paradox^, describe them and I'll see if i can
[08:25] <funkiwan> mobi-sheep: thanks for the help and advice.
[08:26] <edbian> jjseven: How's it going?
[08:26] <jjseven> edbian: sorry i rebooted
[08:26] <denysonique> plunked: you mean gnome-meta?
[08:26] <mobi-sheep> plunked: Metapackage? It is a virtual package that points to multiple packages.
[08:26] <edbian> jjseven: No worries
[08:26] <jjseven> what was it you recommend i do? edbian
[08:27] <chris_> i created a script and i would like to run it from any location in the command line with out the ./
[08:27] <chris_> where do i place the script?
