[00:01] <B3rz3rk3r> can anyone reccomend free Usenet servers.. my ISP doesnt provide access as part of its fee, and its between usenet and WoW for my $15 a month :p
[00:01] <canthus13> B3rz3rk3r: Free? Depends on what you're looking for.
[00:01] <a_> Jordan_U: when I try to update, I get this error. "Could not download all repository indexes" and in a box it says "Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/universe/binary-i386/Packages  404 Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[00:01] <a_> Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."
[00:01] <B3rz3rk3r> canthus13, alt.binaries
[00:01] <canthus13> B3rz3rk3r: There are tons of free text servers.
[00:02] <B3rz3rk3r> canthus13, i know there are lots of free txt ones
[00:02] <canthus13> B3rz3rk3r: No such thing as free alt.b*
[00:02] <canthus13> err alt.binaries.*
[00:02] <B3rz3rk3r> canthus13, :( thats what i thought
[00:03] <Jordan_U> a_: Are you running ubuntu 6.10 ( Edgy ) ?
[00:03] <canthus13> B3rz3rk3r: Every once in a while you might find a free server test for a few weeks.
[00:03] <erUSUL> a_: edgy has been eoled long ago...
[00:04] <captainkirk> how can i list what is running from cli?
[00:04] <erUSUL> !eol | a_
[00:04] <jefinc> !virus scanner
[00:04] <erUSUL> captainkirk: ps -ef
[00:04] <canthus13> jefinc: What are you looking for a virus scan for?
[00:04] <a_> Jordan_U: no I'm running 9.04
[00:04] <B3rz3rk3r> canthus13, i ran a speed test @ Giganews and was maxing out my pipe.. so looks like il be dropping WoW for a bit :)
[00:04] <B3rz3rk3r> canthus13, thx for the info
[00:04] <shawn_> InitHello you here?
[00:04] <Jordan_U> a_: If so you should install a supported version of Ubuntu because Edgy is no longer supported ( no security updates either ). If not then you have a problem with your sources.lst
[00:04] <jefinc> canthus13: I want to scan a NTFS drive that has XP on it
[00:04] <captainkirk> ok, so what is process nmdb?
[00:04] <canthus13> jefinc: ClamAV.
[00:04] <captainkirk> oops, nmbd
[00:05] <jefinc> canthus13: repos?
[00:05] <olivier83> need help!!i boot up ubuntu today and now i got no sound
[00:05] <canthus13> jefinc: I think AVG and Avast also have scanners.
[00:05] <legend2440> Morgansl: not sure about that card  maybe post #2  will help  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1231746
[00:05] <canthus13> jefinc: It should be in the repos.
[00:05] <Kerio> ubuntu-desktop is already the newest version
[00:05] <jefinc> canthus13: thank you :)
[00:05] <Morgansl> legend2440: i will look
[00:05] <canthus13> !antivirus
[00:05] <Jordan_U> a_: Can you pastebin the output from "lsb_release -a" and the contents of the file /etc/apt/sources.lst ?
[00:05] <Kerio> Package xubuntu-desktop is not installed, so not removed
[00:05] <shawn_> Can you access a proxy server from a computer thats in "Lock Screen" mode
[00:05] <Kerio> even though its clearly still xubuntu
[00:06] <Kerio> trying to avoid a clean install
[00:06] <Kerio> any ideas?

[00:06] <FloodBot3> a_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:06] <vox> captainkirk: why do you want to do that?
[00:07] <jefinc> Kerio: try asking your question all on one line so that it is easier to understand
[00:07] <olivier83> need help!!  i boot up ubuntu today and now i got no sound what going on??
[00:07] <ubox> what is the name of the program run via the add/remove software thing in the applications menu?
[00:07] <Kerio> ok
[00:07] <Jordan_U> Kerio: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get autoremove" might do it, but be carefull it doesn't remove anything you really want
[00:07] <SeaPhor> shawn_, are you sure you stated your question correctly?
[00:07] <canthus13> olivier83: Did you check your speaker connections, make sure they're turned on, etc?
[00:07] <captainkirk> because my system is using up memory and crashing after about 1 hour, just did a ps -ef and there are 100's of processes named nmbd
[00:08] <a_> Jordan_U: did you get my flood?
[00:08] <canthus13> a_: Heh.
[00:08] <shawn_> SeaPhor well I have a proxy server set up on my home computer and have a port forwarded with it so I can connect through it from my laptop but it didnt work today and Im wondering if that is because my computer was "Locked"
[00:08] <ZykoticK9> captainkirk, killall is the program you're looking for.  IE "killall -9 nmbd" <- I don't know what nmbd is so don't know what this will do
[00:08] <Jordan_U> a_: No, please use pastebin
[00:08] <Kerio> it states that u already have ubuntu installed and xubuntu uninstalled even though its still xubuntu after reboot
[00:08] <Kerio> that i
[00:08] <vox> captainkirk: thats.. weird. are you running samba?
[00:08] <olivier83> canthus13 yes it plug in nothing is mute and im dualboot with xp and xp got sounds!!
[00:08] <a_> Jordan_U: how I use pastebin?
[00:09] <ewp> ubox, gnome-app-install
[00:09] <canthus13> olivier83: Hmm.  Try a previous kernel when you boot.
[00:09] <captainkirk> yes, i am running samba and nmbd is a process of samba and yesterday i did a system update (including smaba) and now it is broken
[00:09] <Jordan_U> !paste | a_
[00:09] <SeaPhor> shawn_, which computer, the server that port is forwarded to, or the laptop you were on?
[00:09] <ubox> ewp, thank you :)
[00:09] <legend2440> Morgansl: sometimes people in channel #alsa  are good at troubleshooting  Mic problems
[00:09] <olivier83> canthus13 no sounds on the previous one
[00:09] <shawn_> SeaPhor the computer that the server is running from was locked
[00:09] <Morgansl> legend2440: i will head there
[00:09] <canthus13> olivier83: But it was working before?
[00:10] <vox> captainkirk: sudo /etc/init.d/samba stop
[00:10] <captainkirk> ok, so i did the killall and memory usage dropped from 1Gb to 247Mb
[00:10] <olivier83> canthus13 yes it work before but out of nowhere it did not work on the 3 last boot
[00:10] <captainkirk> i have also stopped the samba daemon
[00:11] <a_> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/292695/
[00:11] <foofish> my weather applet doesn't ever update. my computer needs to use a proxy server to access the net, and i think it's ignoring the settings i put into gnome. how can this be fixed?
[00:11] <SeaPhor> shawn_, yes, i leave my FTP/VNC/SSH server locked all the time, i even reboot it remotely and can log back in remotely without logging in locally on the server
[00:11] <shawn_> SeaPhor then Im not sure why it wasnt working X_X
[00:11] <Kerio> how very weird, still xubuntu
[00:11] <captainkirk> and i have had 3 phone calls saying the server is down..... gota love em
[00:11] <Kerio> should i try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[00:12] <canthus13> olivier83: Hmm. No idea then, if the old kernel isn't doing it.
[00:12] <Jordan_U> a_: Can you also pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.lst ?
[00:12] <ZykoticK9> foofish, i "think" i read somewhere that 9.10 fixed the weather applet and that it's been broken for awhile now...
[00:12] <foofish> ZykoticK9: hm, ok
[00:12] <canthus13> olivier83: run alsamixer from the command line and see if anything is turned down.
[00:12] <Morgansl> legend2440: I can hear myself!
[00:12] <shawn_> SeaPhor could my school's network have Proxy connecting blocked even though firefox said "This port is refusing connections"
[00:12] <ulises> hola
[00:12] <radux> !list
[00:13] <legend2440> Morgansl: try recording something
[00:13] <olivier83> canthus13 what the command

[00:13] <Morgansl> legend2440: i did and my mic works
[00:13] <shawn_> vox What did he do?

[00:14] <olivier83> canthus13 it all up
[00:14] <vox> shawn_: yes
[00:14] <canthus13> olivier83: None are muted?
[00:14] <foofish> ZykoticK9: i wonder if i can get a backport built...
[00:14] <ZykoticK9> foofish, I have no idea sorry.
[00:14] <legend2440> Morgansl: how did you fix it?
[00:14] <olivier83> canthus13 none
[00:14] <shawn_> vox What is a DCC bot?
[00:14] <vox> shawn_: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic

[00:15] <sputnik> how do i map an unused key on my keyboard?
[00:15] <canthus13> olivier83: Hmm. exit from alsamixer and type:  killall pulseaudio
[00:15] <kilo> can anyone recommend a channel that I can go to to discuss host-reselling packages?
[00:15] <legend2440> Morgansl: thats good
[00:15] <shawn_> SeaPhor Is it possible for a network to block users from accessing a proxy server from their web brouwser
[00:16] <olivier83> canthus13 my music and video won't even play only in vlc player it play but no sounds
[00:16] <canthus13> olivier83: Video isn't playing either?
[00:16] <legend2440> Morgansl: thats good. glad to hear it. no pun intended
[00:16] <Jordan_U> a_: Sorry, I forgot the "i" "/etc/apt/sources.list" ( note that it's a file not a command )
[00:16] <Morgansl> legend2440: thanks for all of your help my mic is working.
[00:16] <blingo> Hello, do I need to install special driver on builtin video laptop ? it works, but can it work better?
[00:16] <legend2440> Morgansl: your welcome
[00:16] <Kerio> this seems like a very odd problem, i have tried upgrade to ubuntu from xubuntu, it does. claim to be successful but not change occur
[00:17] <Jordan_U> blingo: What GPU?
[00:17] <Kerio> anything left to try but clean install?
[00:17] <ZykoticK9> Kerio, from the GDM login screen can you select Gnome instead of Xfce?
[00:17] <olivier83> canthus13 video in vlc player start and play but no sounds but in mplayer nothing
[00:17] <ZykoticK9> Kerio, in Sessions
[00:18] <Kerio> gonna check
[00:18] <crawler> hello.  can someone help me get my wireless internet back?  it worked now it doesn't.
[00:18] <canthus13> olivier83: Hmm.. You've got me there. I'm stumped.
[00:19] <andrew__> Hello!  I need to execute a command on startup.  currently the command is running on login (in the .bashrc file) but I need it to execute before login.  can anybody point me in the direction of which file to add the command too?
[00:19] <olivier83> canthus13 someone the other day toll me it a software issue
[00:19] <crawler> i stupidly enabled the restricted atheros driver, and rebooted.  now no internet, and the hardware manager lists no drivers!
[00:19] <SeaPhor> shawn_, thats kinda ... open-ended, because i know how things work i dont know for sure if you are sure of the question you're trying to ask,,, better to ask in ##networking
[00:19] <ZykoticK9> olivier83, from command line try "mplayer -ao pulse FILENAME" and/or "mplayer -ao alsa FILENAME" -- see "mplayer -ao help" for list of all audio output
[00:19] <crawler> so i can't even de-activate the restricted driver
[00:19] <Jordan_U> crawler: What driver did you enable?
[00:19] <blingo> Intel Gma 4500m
[00:19] <a_> Jordan_U: Sorry. but how do I open the file?
[00:20] <Jordan_U> !intel | blingo
[00:20] <olivier83> canthus13 after i done this killall pulseaudio every time i start vlc i heard a stomping sounds
[00:20] <crawler> Jordan_U: i believe it was an atheros
[00:20] <Jordan_U> a_: "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" in a terminal
[00:21] <shawn_> SeaPhor I just mean when trying to connect through my Proxy server from school firefox said "This port is not accepting connections" Could this be because the network is blocking me from accessing the Proxy Server or is it my own error in forwarding it because Im fairly sure its correct
[00:21] <olivier83> canthus13 i got 12 ouput
[00:21] <SeaPhor> shawn_, yes, the school can block that port either incomming, outgoing , or both
[00:22] <snow_ru> hi
[00:22] <snow_ru> how to see the size of L2 cache?
[00:22] <shawn_> SeaPhor and there is no way around this? X_X Im just trying to find a way past their web site restrictions and I was told a proxy server is the best way but I think they are blocking my connection to it
[00:23] <a_> Jordan_U: Ok. thankyou. heres the paste link. http://paste.ubuntu.com/292700/
[00:23] <m0r0n> Can anyone help me with a songbird issue?
[00:23] <cfedde> snow_ru: sudo lshw | less
[00:23] <Kerio> maybe sessions messed things up, rebooting again
[00:23] <SeaPhor> shawn_, use port 80 external and whatever internal
[00:23] <shawn_> SeaPhor what do you mean?
[00:23] <fearful> !ask | m0r0n
[00:23] <SeaPhor> shawn_, or 8080
[00:23] <Jordan_U> crawler: Try removing the package "madwifi-tools", if that doesn't work then "sudo apt-get remove linux-restricted-modules$( uname -r )" though the second might remove other driver you need
[00:24] <blingo> :o http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582
[00:24] <canthus13> olivier83: Check alsamixer again and see if anything is muted.
[00:24] <Laque> what in the "New Wave" Control theme overrides the window decoration colour?
[00:24] <ZykoticK9> a_, line 8 & 9 should NOT say "edgy" they sould say "jaunty"
[00:24] <shawn_> SeaPhor I have port 8118 forwarded.. Why would using Port 80 make a difference?
[00:24] <crawler> Jordan_U: thanks mate, i will try that.
[00:24] <arand> Connecting to wless fails with network manager but succeeds with wpa_supplicant manual config: Which package to bug report against? nm-applet?
[00:24] <Jordan_U> crawler: np
[00:24] <m0r0n> Songbird isn't staring, what is happening?
[00:25] <ZykoticK9> m0r0n, are you using nvidia?
[00:25] <SeaPhor> shawn_, because the school doesn't block 80 0r 8080 or else you'd have no web
[00:25] <foofish> do kde panel applets work in gnome?
[00:25] <teck> kind of off topic but what exactly is a .vod video file?
[00:25] <olivier83> canthus13 all are up
[00:25] <m0r0n> ZykoticK9: Yes, but I fixed that, it was working for a couple months until I installed sensors, now it's not working
[00:25] <shawn_> SeaPhor so if I forward my port 80 or 8080 it would work?
[00:25] <ZykoticK9> m0r0n, sudo apt-get remove libvisual-0.4-plugins
[00:25] <Laque> I want to use New Wave without being stuck with a dark gray clear looks instead of the green i selected DX
[00:26] <canthus13> olivier83: Ok.  Like I said, though... I'm all out of ideas.  You can get pulseaudio up and running again by rebooting.
[00:26] <Kerio> i marked display session on login now
[00:26] <milesc> Dumb question but google's not helping me much... I just finished installing 9.04 32bit in VMware, installed fine, changed the resolution up hi, and now I only get a black screen.  How do I get into recovery console to  fix xorg.conf since grub isn't showing during boot by default?
[00:26] <Kerio> rebooting again
[00:26] <canthus13> olivier83: But beyond that, I dunno what would kill audio *AND* video playback.
[00:26] <SeaPhor> shawn_, not just that, that would be the "External" port, need more info-- ask in ##networking
[00:27] <canthus13> milesc: Can you switch to a different terminal? (ctrl-alt-f1)
[00:27] <m0r0n> ZykoticK9: Thanks
[00:27] <tab1293> is there a way i can erase a windows7/vista bootloader from ubuntu
[00:27] <milesc> I sure can, thanks cathus13
[00:27] <kilo> can anyone recommend a channel that I can go to to discuss host-reseller packages?
[00:27] <Jordan_U> a_: You have two lines there referring to edgy, do you know how they got there? ( one is for wine )
[00:27] <canthus13> milesc: No prob.
[00:27] <olivier83> canthus13 even if i reboot im not getting sounds again
[00:27] <_Techie_> is there an alternative to usign grub on a USB install as grub wont work properly as it points to a static drive location
[00:28] <canthus13> olivier83: Yes, but if someone else is able to help you more, it would make it easier for you to be in a normal state (pulseaudio running)
[00:29] <olivier83> canthus13 how i do that
[00:29] <canthus13> olivier83: reboot.
[00:29] <_Techie_> how can i make a persistant USB install of ubuntu?
[00:29] <canthus13> olivier83: Running it from the command line, in my experience anyway, never puts things back quite the way they should be.
[00:29] <fearful> canthus13, olivier83 try ALSA?
[00:30] <Jordan_U> _Techie_: System > Administration > USB Startup Disk Creator
[00:30] <canthus13> _Techie_: Yes.  check out http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ for tutorials.
[00:30] <olivier83> fearful yes and it all up!
[00:30] <canthus13> fearful: Tried shutting down Pulseaudio and he seems to have gotten some noise, but nothing normal.
[00:30] <Kerio> i ended all xfce related now and are trying to reboot
[00:30] <canthus13> fearful: alsamixer has everything on and turned up with and without pulseaudio.
[00:31] <a_> Jordan_U: I dont know. the only thing I have installed for wine is Paltalk
[00:31] <fearful> olivier83, out of curiosity did it work before?
[00:32] <Royall> Whenever I start Ubuntu, Gnome-Do never has anything listed, and I have to restart it so it'll work
[00:32] <Jordan_U> a_: They shouldn't be there, remove those lines from your sources.list, this time you need to open it with a slightly different command so that you have permissions to save the changes: "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
[00:32] <olivier83> fearful yes it work before each time i install ubuntu it work for 4-5 boot and after that i lost sounds for no reason noby know how to regain sounds the only thing that work is format and reinstall ubuntu
[00:33] <Royall> Like, the box opens, but when I type anything it acts as if I have no applications or anything
[00:33] <Kerio> still nothing! clean install now, not worth the effort
[00:33] <Kerio> thx for your help though

[00:33] <mdg> Hello! I just a fresh install of ubuntu (mint) on a P3 laptop and Gnome seems a bit "heavy".  Would I run into a lot of problems by changing my window manager to fluxbox?
[00:33] <lstarnes> Farrel: /msg alis list *java*
[00:33] <Jordan_U> olivier83: If you create a new user does that new user have the sound problems?
[00:34] <fearful> olivier83, what sound drive do you have
[00:34] <blingo> Many thanks, bye
[00:34] <olivier83> Jordan_U never try but i don't want to end up with 1000 of user
[00:34] <Jordan_U> mdg: Changing to Fluxbox won't save much compared to the rest of gnome, unless you mean replaceing all of Gnome and not just metacity
[00:35] <mdg> Jordan_U: any other suggestions?
[00:35] <Jordan_U> olivier83: It would help diagnose the problem, obviously not a solution :)

[00:36] <Kerio> thank god for 100mbit connections
[00:36] <Jordan_U> a_: That's correct
[00:37] <Jordan_U> mdg: If you are comfortable with fluxbox ( it can be hard for a first time user ) you can install fluxbox and choose a fluxbox only session from the session menu of the login screen
[00:38] <fearful> olivier83, thats awkward, have you checked if in the sound preferences in the bottom list 'Master' volume is there
[00:38] <mdg> Jordan_U: what kind of things would I not be able to do in a fluxbox only session?
[00:38] <Jordan_U> mdg: Or you could install Xubuntu which is lighter than Ubuntu but still very easy
[00:38] <sman> hey, I'm getting the error "scp: ambiguous target" when I run  scp -r localmachine/lab2 remotemachine:s1/programming/lab\ answers/

[00:40] <sman> lstarnes: such a simple solution! thanks ;)
[00:40] <[Mr_Wizard]> lol ok cool
[00:40] <lstarnes> sman: quoting is often safer than escaping
[00:40] <fearful> but in System > Preferences > Sound Preferences there's a list is it on there?

[00:50] <vox> james^^: join #ubuntu+1
[00:50] <fearful> olivier83, I don't know what to say :S no one can help
[00:50] <[Mr_Wizard]> Jordan_U, 9.04 Jaunty, and i'm not sure what that means. :/
[00:50] <Jordan_U> olivier83: It would be very usefull to know if a new user temporarily solves the problem
[00:50] <[Mr_Wizard]> SeaPhor, i'll try
[00:51] <SeaPhor> [Mr_Wizard], pastebin it plz?
[00:51] <Jordan_U> olivier83: If so then we can track what files are changing in your home folder and find out what is causing the problem
[00:51] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | [Mr_Wizard]
[00:51] <olivier83> Jordan_U im doing it right not brb
[00:52] <UnknownFearNG> hey all
[00:54] <[Mr_Wizard]> http://paste.ubuntu.com/292715/
[00:54] <[Mr_Wizard]> seaphor http://paste.ubuntu.com/292715/
[00:55] <jonathank89> hello
[00:56] <SeaPhor> Jordan_U, you get that pastebin?
[00:56] <Jordan_U> SeaPhor: Yes
[00:56] <olivier83> Jordan_U no sounds on the other user
[00:57] <jonathank89> I've been testing karmic for a while now and it's been working great! but after a batch updates i've been getting this really annoying system beep. eg. if i'm in gedit and there's nothing in the document and press backspace it beeps
[00:57] <jonathank89> any ideas how to fix this?
[00:58] <fearful> !karmic | jonathank89
[00:58] <milesc> rip out your system speaker?
[00:58] <milesc> :D
[00:58] <coz_> jonathank89,  not off hand but you may get more info if you go to  #ubuntu+1  which is for karmic :)
[00:58] <jonathank89> not really an option, it's a laptop @S
[00:58] <jonathank89> hey thanks i'll jump in there now
[00:59] <olivier83> Jordan_U every time i start to play a music file or video there a turn on speaker sounds type of sounds but nothing else
[00:59] <Jordan_U> olivier83: Just to be thourough try creating a new user and reboot logging in as the new user. If it's a problem with a configuration file in the home folder that should be exactly like reinstalling, logging in as another user first might break sound for the rest of the time the computer is booted.
[01:00] <olivier83> Jordan_U alright brb
[01:00] <Germanacho> hi everybody
[01:00] <Germanacho> I have a super problem :s
[01:00] <Germanacho> that's what I see on my desktop
[01:00] <Germanacho> http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/9022/pantallazom.png
[01:01] <Germanacho> http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/298/pantallazo1e.png
[01:01] <Germanacho> those 2 pics
[01:01] <milesc> awesome
[01:01] <Germanacho> show my problem Is like sudo rm -r / but I didn't made that
[01:01] <Germanacho> and I rebooted my system and could login fine
[01:01] <Supersaiyan_IV> Germanacho, gconf ?
[01:01] <milesc> System font or character encoding problem?
[01:02] <Germanacho> maybe
[01:02] <Germanacho> lemme test gconf
[01:02] <vox> character encoding by the looks
[01:02] <Germanacho> beh is hard to execute gconf
[01:02] <Supersaiyan_IV> Germanacho, safe mode → try changing in the settings again
[01:02] <Germanacho> if I can't see anything
[01:02] <SeaPhor> [Mr_Wizard], pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf plz?
[01:02] <Germanacho> oke
[01:02] <Supersaiyan_IV> Germanacho, you mean gconf is messed up or the terminal
[01:03] <Germanacho> by the way, I didn't made any configuration
[01:03] <Germanacho> I just turn on the pc and saw in that way
[01:03] <Supersaiyan_IV> you telling me it's a hardware failure?
[01:03] <Germanacho> http://pastebin.com/m32bbd418 <== that's xorg.conf SeaPhor
[01:04] <GaSSaN[a]> heey all
[01:04] <Germanacho> maybe Supersaiyan_IV dunno
[01:04] <SeaPhor> ty Germanacho
[01:04] <[Mr_Wizard]> seaphor, how do i do that? lol if you can't tell i just switched from windows.
[01:04] <Germanacho> I was washing me and put a movie to download came back and saw this mess
[01:04] <GaSSaN[a]> any one know to hack facebook zynga poker ?
[01:04] <nullzero> any ideas for getting 3d rendering working on a radeon HD3200/RS7xx when having the fglrx kernel module causes a boot to black screen?
[01:04] <[Mr_Wizard]> seaphor, i know the pastebin now, just not the other part.
[01:04] <nullzero> module loaded*
[01:04] <Supersaiyan_IV> GaSSaN[a], you hack it by not playing it, saves you time
[01:05] <SeaPhor> [Mr_Wizard], ok, i'll show u the easy way ;-)\
[01:06] <Germanacho> I don't like this weird squares
[01:06] <Germanacho> xD
[01:06] <Jordan_U> Germanacho: Are you using ext4?
[01:06] <Germanacho> yes Jordan_U
[01:06] <SeaPhor> [Mr_Wizard], do this in terminal-  sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:07] <olivier83> Jordan_U new user din't have sounds
[01:07] <SeaPhor> [Mr_Wizard], copy paste is best ;-)
[01:07] <one_> hi
[01:08] <Germanacho> Jordan_U: why did you asked me if I were using ext4
[01:08] <one_> do you know any good proxy ?
[01:08] <Jordan_U> Germanacho: First thing I would do is boot into a liveCD and make sure that you backup any files that are important to you, and don't force shutdown your computer even if it seems completely frozen
[01:08] <Germanacho> I didn't made nothing, just put a movie to download, came back and saw this squares
[01:08] <one_> my network provider banned my port 80
[01:08] <[Mr_Wizard]> seaphor, http://pastebin.com/f5d21af4a
[01:08] <[Mr_Wizard]> nifty
[01:08] <Germanacho> oke Jordan_U
[01:08] <Germanacho> but I rebooted the pc
[01:08] <Germanacho> once, and didn't happend nothing
[01:09] <Germanacho> just could login fine into the session but watching the squares like b4
[01:09] <Jordan_U> Germanacho: ext4 Has a bug where files can be lost if the computer looses power ( though that may not be what is happening to you, it's not common and luckily almost never affects user's data, just configuration files )
[01:10] <Germanacho> awe nice
[01:10] <Germanacho> and how I could restore my config files ?
[01:10] <SeaPhor> TY [Mr_Wizard] ,,, but that is no good for me, i'm good with Nvidia and ATi but intel .... maybe Jordan_U or another would be better to help you,,, i know it can be done, don't give up,,, its prolly fairly simple...
[01:11] <ojii> hi all
[01:11] <ojii> I get "Not all updates can be installed" when trying to update my koala, why does that happen and how do i fix it?
[01:11] <Jordan_U> Germanacho: By reinstalling all of the packages whose files are zero bytes, but it could also be a bad drive or some other problem entirely so you should back up any important data now
[01:12] <Germanacho> ok Jordan_U
[01:12] <Jordan_U> !karmic | ojii
[01:12] <Germanacho> doing that right now
[01:12] <Germanacho> then I will reinstall the system
[01:12] <[Mr_Wizard]> SeaPhor, probably. i've been using ubuntu for about 4 months now and i'm usually able to fix things just googling but this one i can't really find. i don't know why 1280x800 would disappear out of the blue like that. seems weird
[01:12] <wildweathel> ojii, I had excactly those symptoms and it was a dying hard drive.
[01:12] <Germanacho> or execute the restore cd of ubuntu
[01:12] <ojii> wildweathel: wtf?
[01:12] <fsufitch> hey, can anyone help me out? i need to get a left header, a centered header, and a right header on an openoffice document, but it only lets me do one of those at once. How do I do it?
[01:12] <olivier83> Jordan_U new user din't have sounds
[01:13] <Jordan_U> Germanacho: I would do an fsck and try to figure out what went wrong, if it's a bad drive you might want to get rid of it
[01:13] <Jordan_U> Germanacho: Also try memtest
[01:13] <Germanacho> ok
[01:13] <Germanacho> fsck
[01:13] <Germanacho> should do ?
[01:14] <SeaPhor> [Mr_Wizard], so you had it working in native res before?
[01:14] <Jordan_U> Germanacho: You will need to boot into recovery mode or a liveCD to run fsck
[01:14] <[Mr_Wizard]> SeaPhor, yes
[01:14] <Germanacho> ok but first I will backup anything
[01:15] <Germanacho> thnx for the help Jordan_U :D
[01:15] <Germanacho> for recognize the problem
[01:15] <Jordan_U> Germanacho: np :)
[01:15] <nullzero> does anyone else hate fglrx a whole lot
[01:15] <Jordan_U> Germanacho: I just guessed possible problems, don't count on my guesses being right :)
[01:16] <[Mr_Wizard]> SeaPhor, attempted to have second desktop by plugging an HDTV into my HDMI input and failed miserably. then, while i messed with the settings 1280x800 and a bunch more resolutions just disappeared
[01:16] <SeaPhor> [Mr_Wizard], dont give up, and i may yet be able to help if no one else can,,, but i have to run to store ,, brb,,, (wife)
[01:16] <Jordan_U> olivier83: Do you get an error when you try the test in System > Preferences > Sound ?
[01:16] <[Mr_Wizard]> SeaPhor, np, i'll be around.
[01:17] <olivier83> Jordan_U nope
[01:17] <olivier83> Jordan_U it just openà
[01:17] <BasketCase_Eee> is it possible to have a network-manager configured openvpn session run a script once the vpn interface is up?  (running UNR if that matters)
[01:17] <Jordan_U> olivier83: are all of the channels at full volume and unmuted when you run "alsamixer -c 0" ?
[01:18] <olivier83> Jordan_U all 100%
[01:18] <Germanacho> Jordan_U: if I have to reinstall my system, do you reccomend me the 9.10 beta ?
[01:19] <Jordan_U> BasketCase_Eee: There may be an official way, if not you can have a script monitor the statis of network-manager through dbus
[01:19] <BasketCase_Eee> I would rather my script be a nice simple do stuff and exit
[01:20] <Jordan_U> Germanacho: No, not because of anything specific but just because it's still beta
[01:20] <BasketCase_Eee> I essentially want to do some route changes based on some if logic
[01:20] <Germanacho> oke
[01:20] <Jordan_U> BasketCase_Eee: You can configure static routes with network manager for certain connections.
[01:20] <BasketCase_Eee> I want to have only 1 connection
[01:21] <BasketCase_Eee> 1 vpn connection anyway
[01:22] <Guest89202> I've a question about formatting my USB stick
[01:23] <Guest89202> I've got a 4 gig partitioned into 2 separate 2 gig partitions. How do I format back to the original 4 gig?
[01:23] <BasketCase_Eee> Guest89202: you need to repartition it
[01:23] <Jordan_U> BasketCase_Eee: Just go to System > Preferences > Networking it looks like what you want to do is available in the GUI
[01:24] <Guest89202> Can I do that via terminal, or gparted?
[01:24] <Jordan_U> Guest89202: Do you have files on both?
[01:24] <mar77i> hey, why is packages.ubuntu.com down?
[01:24] <BasketCase_Eee> Guest89202: either, just make sure you pick the right device
[01:24] <BasketCase_Eee> Jordan_U: where?
[01:24] <wolf23> help me please~
[01:24] <Guest89202> If I do have files, I can erase them. That's not a problem
[01:25] <Guest89202> How do I know what the right device is?
[01:25] <BasketCase_Eee> Guest89202: it will certainly erase them
[01:25] <coz_> wolf23,  what is the issue?
[01:25] <Guest89202> and how do I change my user name?
[01:25] <tylert> Help please.....Autostarted Apps will not run bash script?
[01:25] <coz_> Guest85537,  where you type here  type    /nick  newnick
[01:25] <biovore> tylert: it should.. is the bash script set +x (executeable)
[01:25] <Guest75> :O
[01:25] <BasketCase_Eee> Jordan_U: I don't see anything about running scripts in the GUI
[01:26] <wolf23> coz_,  thanx, i open youtube on firefox and the video cannot play :(
[01:26] <VCoolio> tylert: did you make it executable (chmod +x script), else call it with "sh /path/to/script"; also does it nothing that requires root permission
[01:26] <coz_> wolf23,  did you install sun-java and ubuntu restricted extras?
[01:26] <tylert> biovore: unknown i just got into the tech field with no experiance in linux
[01:26] <coz_> wolf23,  opne synaptic pacakge manager and then hit the Search button and type sun-java
[01:27] <wolf23> coz_,  how can i see if all are installed?
[01:27] <olivier83> Jordan_U did u miss my msg it was all 100%
[01:27] <coz_> wolf23, first go to system/administration/synaptic package manger
[01:27] <biovore> tylert: chmod +x <file.sh>  will make it executable..
[01:27] <night1ne> I believe I've formatted both partitions at one time or another.
[01:27] <coz_> wolf23, ` then hit the Search button and type in    sun-java
[01:27] <nullzero> guest85537: sudo fdisk -l to list your disks
[01:28] <wolf23> coz_,  yes unmark
[01:28] <night1ne> okay. then what?
[01:28] <coz_> wolf23,  then scroll down the list and look for      sudn-java6-plugin
[01:28] <coz_> wolf23,  click and mark for installation
[01:28] <nullzero> do you have the name of the drive?
[01:28] <Gaming4JC> Hello All, I've been dual booting Windows Vista and Ubuntu for some time. But recently my Vista installation has a lot of BSODs, a tech told me it was due to Ubuntu's resizing of the partition and that Vista was accessing parts of the drive that didn't exist anymore. Is there any validity to that?
[01:28] <tylert> biovore:  where you have file.sh  do i include the <>?   and if i include basic operation in that such as rdesktop and all tags i need
[01:28] <night1ne> sda 1, 2, 5, 6, 7
[01:28] <wolf23> coz_,  ok
[01:29] <coz_> wolf23,  then click search again and typein    ubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:29] <coz_> wolf23,  then click that one for installation as well
[01:29] <coz_> wolf23,  make sure it is ubuntu restricted extras and NOT   kubuntu restricted extras
[01:29] <Gaming4JC> I was like, hmm I don't think Ubuntu causes problems like that with partitions. :\
[01:29] <BasketCase_Eee> Gaming4JC: not unless chkdsk says the filesystem is screwed up
[01:29] <nullzero> night1ne: see any of them that are formatted with FAT?
[01:29] <biovore> tylert: no  <> are just indicators to put your own file in there
[01:29] <wolf23> coz_,  ok thank you i try
[01:29] <nullzero> the FAT ones are probably your USB stick
[01:29] <night1ne> yea, I've got them both.
[01:30] <coz_> wolf23,  then click the  Apply button... at some point a dialog will open for you to agree to the license  ...just tick the box and click forward
[01:30] <tylert> biovore:  but about the other part of that question?
[01:30] <night1ne> sdc 1 and 2
[01:30] <Gaming4JC> BasketCase_Eee: Yah chkdsk says it's fine. So I'm pretty sure the guy told me wrong just cuz he doesn't like Linux or something lol.
[01:30] <SeaPhor> [Mr_Wizard], ask in channel how to reconfigure your xserver,,, its something like "sudo dpkg xorg,..... " or something,,, never had to myself but seen it
[01:30] <coz_> wolf23,  after that you should be able to play youtube videos ...if you want to play dvds let me know
[01:30] <nullzero> ok
[01:30] <biovore> tylert: what you tring to do?
[01:30] <nullzero> try sudo fdisk /dev/sdc
[01:30] <a_> Jordan_U: thanks for teaching me all this stuff. I found "xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.4", do I have to restart in order for the changes to take effect?
[01:30] <mgv1> im connectet to open wireless connection but it very loose - even the speed of download goes betweeb 20 to 230 kb/s - why isnt it stable?
[01:31] <Gaming4JC> BasketCase_Eee: It's probably just Vista acting stupid, it's a very unstable operating system. Ubuntu kills it any day. ;)
[01:31] <night1ne> command (m for help)
[01:31] <tuffax> can anyone give me a hand with samba
[01:31] <jeremiah__> hulu.com videos are very jerky under 9.04 any reason why?
[01:31] <tylert> well im making linux based wireless thin-clients via the rdesktop app,  but when people hit cancel on the server log on screen it took them back to the home machine, i want to make it so it will auto start back up
[01:31] <coz_> wolf23,   I would just run this command if you want to play dvds later  even if you dont runt this command by copy and pasting into the terminal   and to do that easily just hightlight the command here and ismply middle click inside the terminal window to paste
[01:31] <wolf23> coz_,  ok let me wait until done? :)
[01:31] <coz_> wolf23,       sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[01:31] <night1ne> Okay, nm. Thanks much
[01:32] <tylert> biovore:  sorry...read my last message
[01:32] <yhge_> 试试。。。。
[01:32] <Gaming4JC> BasketCase_Eee: He also told me it could be my boot manager and that I should try System Commander over grub for a "cleaner boot".. dunno about all that either... ??
[01:32] <BasketCase_Eee> Gaming4JC: with windows it can be just about anything.  malware, ram, cpu, mobo, psu, file corruption, something else
[01:33] <a_> I'm gonna try that
[01:33] <nullzero> night1ne: sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc?
[01:33] <BasketCase_Eee> Gaming4JC: the boot loader doesn't really leave anything behind
[01:33] <night1ne> nah. I got it.
[01:33] <BasketCase_Eee> Gaming4JC: unless you are doing disk remapping or something
[01:33] <biovore> tylert: probably don't want rdesktop then.. its session based.  When a thin client logs out.. you want it to go back to a login screen right?
[01:33] <tylert> yes sir,
[01:33] <night1ne> What's sudo mkfs.ext3...do though?
[01:33] <usser_> tylert, if you dont want to implement a proper solution, like LTSP, i have a lazy one :), just did that in fact the other day.
[01:33] <nullzero> formats the drive with ext3 file system
[01:33] <night1ne> Ahh, okay.
[01:33] <nullzero> mkfs = make file system
[01:33] <Gaming4JC> BasketCase_Eee: Ok, thanks I was pretty sure the guy was way off you just reassured me. :) Viva Ubuntu!
[01:34] <tylert> biovore: yes sir
[01:34] <usser_> tylert, create a really restricted user, strip down everything, i'd suggest going with bare debian, install minimal xorg and fluxbox.
[01:34] <night1ne> I just deleted one of the partitions and opened up gparted.
[01:34] <nullzero> you can also do mkfs.vfat if you want to use it under windows
[01:34] <BasketCase_Eee> ext2 is sometimes preferred for solid state storage
[01:34] <biovore> tylert:  probably want xdmcp..  but need to note that xdmcp isn't encryped, so probably want to run it over a ssh tunnel or openvpn.
[01:34] <night1ne> Hmm, well, I plan on attempting to install a windows distro on it.
[01:34] <night1ne> Oh, ok.
[01:35] <grendal_prime_> anyone ever loged into a vncserver and your keyboard just been all crazy and mixed up?
[01:35] <usser_> tylert, create a script with the following http://pastebin.com/m379b9681
[01:35] <Jordan_U> olivier83: Were they also all unmuted ( "OO" rather than "MM" at the bottom ) ?
[01:35] <tylert> usser_: wanna send me an email with this?
[01:35] <usser_> tylert, its not that much work, really
[01:35] <nullzero> no, but i logged into x once with the fglrx kernel module loaded and got like 8 distorted copies of the ubuntu logo on the screen
[01:35] <night1ne> So should I format it to fat?
[01:35] <yhge_> 在这里必须要用英文聊天是吗？？？？
[01:35] <nullzero> probably
[01:35] <night1ne> Okay.
[01:36] <BasketCase_Eee> night1ne: depends on how you plan to use it.  fat is the most compatible but has significant limitations

[01:36] <grendal_prime_> crazy frigging key map or somerhing
[01:36] <usser_> tylert, sigh... sure
[01:36] <tylert> usser_: thanks so much :D
[01:36] <usser_> tylert, dont paste your email addresses like that.
[01:37] <usser_> tylert, you will be spammed into oblivion :)
[01:37] <tylert> usser_: got it
[01:37] <nullzero> sudo dpkg xorg --reconfigure
[01:37] <nullzero> err sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:38] <nullzero> i think
[01:38] <nullzero> that tool has done a whole lot of nothing for me though
[01:38] <yhge_> #ubuntu-cn
[01:38] <konbon> (:
[01:38] <konbon> Hello everyone
[01:38] <Gaming4JC> hi
[01:38] <Jordan_U> BasketCase_Eee: If you create a new vpn connection then go into ipv4 settings and create a static default route then select "Use only this connection for resourses on this network" I think that will make the only route in the routing table the default route ( and any others ) you set there
[01:38] <night1ne> okay, so what is the command for formatting via terminal?
[01:38] <drewbert> nullzero: i tried nvidia-xconfig, didn't help much, someone else recommended sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[01:39] <drewbert> have yet to try that before i boot off this live cd
[01:39] <celthunder> night1ne, what are you doing that you need fat? fat is almost pointless in most situations
[01:39] <drewbert> *sigh* which i had lappy with me
[01:39] <nullzero> drewbert: that fixes some problems but don't cross your fingers
[01:39] <night1ne> Well, I'm going to attempt to install windows on the drive.
[01:39] <nullzero> ive heard stories of stuff just magically being fixed by dpkg-reconfigure
[01:39] <celthunder> night1ne, ntfs then
[01:39] <nullzero> did absolutely jack for me
[01:39] <BasketCase_Eee> Jordan_U: I am not trying to set specific routes for the vpn connection.  I am trying to set dynamic routes through the vpn based on the dynamic settings of the wifi interface
[01:39] <night1ne> And I believe someone suggested fat.
[01:39] <konbon> whats the prob drewbert?
[01:39] <olivier83> Jordan_U yes at the bottom 00 and below that 100
[01:40] <Jordan_U> drewbert: Just dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will have you using the open source drivers, that then System > Administration > Hardware Drivers will get you the defaults + proprietary driver
[01:40] <night1ne> Okay. So then what would be the command to perform the operation via terminal?
[01:40] <BasketCase_Eee> Jordan_U: my script is already written (works great in Gentoo) I just don't know how to tell the system to run it after bringing up the vpn
[01:40] <administrator> can i have a tutorial on how to install ventrilo ?
[01:40] <nullzero> night1ne: my bad, i didnt even think of ntfs
[01:40] <nullzero> i dumb
[01:40] <yhge_> please,who can tell me,i want to go #ubuntu.cn,how to do ???
[01:40] <night1ne> No worries.
[01:40] <drewbert> konbon: mind if i copy paste it to you in im?
[01:40] <nullzero> yhge_: /join #ubuntu.cn?
[01:40] <night1ne> Nah. you're better at this than I am.
[01:40] <tuffax> hi - i've gotten stuck trying to set up a file share between jaunty and xp. i'm trying to go through a belkin router using ethernet cables. can anyone help?
[01:40] <konbon> no prob drewbert
[01:41] <Gaming4JC> drewbert: You can try entering recover mode and selecting fix Xorg. Also, if it's like my predicament was, you may need to uninstall the Nvidia drivers if they aren't the right ones for your system. :\
[01:41] <yhge_> oh,thanks....
[01:41] <drewbert> Jordan_U: i'll try that next time i reboot, however the system > administration > hardware drivers also cause a problem similar to the one i'm having now where x won't start
[01:41] <Jordan_U> BasketCase_Eee: http://ldn.linuxfoundation.org/article/performing-custom-actions-when-networkmanager-goes-onoffline
[01:42] <high-rez> Can someone explain the mechanism that ubuntu uses for deciding which X11 driver to use?  I have an nvidia chipset, and installed the drivers, but for some reason its still using the VESA driver.
[01:42] <Guest21663> can sum1 help me on how to install ventrilo on ubuntu?
[01:42] <MenZa> high-rez: Try running sudo nvidia-xconfig
[01:42] <konbon> high-rez: did you reboot after the install?
[01:42] <Jordan_U> high-rez: It's probably using VESA because nvidia failed to load, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:42] <konbon> sometimes a log out wont do the job. you need the full restart of the os
[01:42] <werfact> what is a simple decent ide for java and c/c++ on linux?
[01:43] <BasketCase_Eee> Jordan_U: that looks like what I want.  I will do some playing
[01:43] <Gaming4JC> werfact: Code:Blocks?
[01:43] <high-rez> Jordan: Nothing about it failing to load in xorg.0.log - already checked.
[01:43] <Jordan_U> !ide | werfact
[01:43] <night1ne> Um..anyone?
[01:44] <celthunder> Guest21663, put on wine or a virtual software and install?
[01:44] <high-rez> MenZa: Aha.  I thought ubuntu used some smart mechanism for auto configuring xorg.conf ;)
[01:44] <wolf23> coz_,  done all, i have ubuntu restricted installed ,after done after i try open youtube and the video cannot play
[01:44] <Jordan_U> high-rez: Can you pastebin your Xorg.0.log?
[01:44] <Guest21663> dont have wine installed on mines :(
[01:44] <olivier83> Jordan_U it should be mm rather then 00!?
[01:44] <werfact> Gaming4JC, Jordan_U thanks
[01:44] <MenZa> high-rez: I think it should run that on install, but *shrug*
[01:44] <crawler> Jordan_U: hey, sorry for the delay.  i tried what you suggested for my wireless, but nothing worked.
[01:44] <night1ne> okay, so what is the command for formatting via terminal?
[01:44] <Jordan_U> olivier83: No, it should be "00" rather than "MM"
[01:44] <coz_> wolf23,   mmm
[01:44] <olivier83> Jordan_U ah ok it 00
[01:44] <Gaming4JC> werfact: np Ubuntu is an amazing community. Enjoy. :D
[01:45] <crawler> Jordan_U:  is there a way to force ubuntu to rescan for wireless cards?  it's not detected anymore it seems
[01:45] <coz_> wolf23,  you have all the codecs and sun java installed it should play well
[01:45] <Jordan_U> crawler: Can you pastebin the output of "lsmod | grep ath" ?
[01:45] <coz_> wolf23,  which video card are you running?
[01:45] <high-rez> Jordan_U: No worries, nvidia-xconfig made everything happy...  I guess auto detection was just broken.
[01:45] <olivier83> Jordan_U could it be the External Amplifier
[01:45] <arand> How are one to interpret this?: "password: Password string for EAP. This field can include either the plaintext password (using ASCII or hex string)" Does it mean that password="1" (ASCII) is the exact equivalent of password="31" (hex)?
[01:45] <wolf23> coz_,  sys
[01:45] <celthunder>
[01:45] <coz_> wolf23,  oooo
[01:46] <crawler> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/m6e63efd1
[01:46] <Jordan_U> olivier83: I'm not sure why reinstalling would fix it if that were the case
[01:46] <coz_> wolf23,   in terminal   lspci | grep -i vga
[01:46] <wolf23> coz_,  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 65x/M650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter
[01:46] <celthunder> arand, put \x for the hex one...
[01:46] <nullzero> night1ne: sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs
[01:46] <coz_> wolf23,  ok and did you install the driver for that card?
[01:46] <nullzero> that will let you format stuff in ntfs
[01:46] <wolf23> coz i dont know?
[01:47] <olivier83> Jordan_U on a website it sayd to turn off External Amplifier
[01:47] <coz_> wolf23,  then you didnt hold on let me find the deb package
[01:47] <Jordan_U> crawler: Try "sudo rmmod ath_pci ath_hal wlan"
[01:47] <wolf23> coz_,  ok thanx
[01:47] <arand> celthunder: Thankyou! I've been fishing for answers for ages.
[01:47] <crawler> Jordan_U: ok, i did that..should i reboot?
[01:48] <talonz1> my motherboard crashed today and i had to replace it, i got everything working again but for some reason my sound card isnt detected any mroe any ideas ?
[01:48] <Jordan_U> crawler: No, pastebin the output of "iwlist scan"
[01:48] <coz_> wolf23,  do you know if this is 64 bit or 32 bit system?
[01:48] <wolf23> coz_,  32

[01:50] <lstarnes> veggteppe: unless it isn't an sh script
[01:50] <veggteppe> nullzero/lstarnes: thanks:). Gonna try both.
[01:50] <Jordan_U> crawler: Ok, try "sudo modprobe ath5k"
[01:50] <nullzero> veggteppe: do chmod +x on it first, then ,.

[01:51] <blueglasses> !info rtkit-deamon
[01:51] <wolf23> coz_,  i try thanx
[01:51] <crawler> Jordan_U: ok, did that, it says: "WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release." then goes back to a prompt.

[01:51] <coz_> wolf23,  yes let me know  but dont delte that package until later  in case it doesn work
[01:52] <Jordan_U> crawler: Does "iwlist scan" say anything different than before?
[01:52] <coz_> wolf23,  install that driver first
[01:52] <veggteppe> nullzero: example: got a readme file, and wanna try to open using terminal, did chmod +x on it first, then sudo sh ./README, but getting some errors.
[01:52] <Jordan_U> !ipod | LinuX2half
[01:52] <wolf23> coz_,  ok
[01:52] <celthunder> veggteppe, open it in an editor... vi README

[01:52] <coz_> wolf23,  dont forget to reboot the system  not just restart x
[01:52] <crawler> Jordan_U:  same thing as before :-(  i knew i shouldn't have messed with anything.  i even tried reinstalling all the kernel files and whatnot.
[01:52] <veggteppe> celthunder: Thanks :).
[01:52] <celthunder> gimmickless, did you bind the http server to localhost or just the external ip
[01:53] <nullzero> veggteppe: i thought you were trying to execute something
[01:53] <gimmickless> celthunder, nope.  That under apache.conf?
[01:53] <crawler> Jordan_U:  i tried under the vista partition, and wireless works fine, so it can't be hardware related..
[01:53] <veggteppe> nullzero: hehe, well, trying to learn most, so now i know both text editor, and execute a file:D
[01:53] <eshannon> How would I change permissions on a folder and all of it contents subfolders and files?
[01:53] <celthunder> eshannon, chmod -R
[01:54] <MenZa> eshannon: chmod with the -R flag.
[01:54] <nullzero> veggteppe: you would use ./ to execute some scripts
[01:54] <nullzero> and sh also
[01:54] <eshannon> ty
[01:54] <parabyte> Hello, does anyone know of any streaming software that uses mp3's or aac format and i setup say my media player to stream the content and the host machine plays it????
[01:54] <Jordan_U> crawler: Did you ever try booting without linux-restricted-modules installed? ( they are installed now or you wouldn't have had ath_pci )
[01:54] <nullzero> !info xorg-driver-fglrx
[01:54] <coz_> ok back in a bit
[01:55] <usser_> parabyte, subsonic is one of the solutions
[01:55] <parabyte> like plays the audio through its inbuilt sound card
[01:55] <crawler> Jordan_U: ok, i'll try that.. be back in a bit.  thanks for your help thus far!
[01:55] <Jordan_U> eshannon: But be *very* carefull, especially if it's a system directory
[01:55] <nullzero> anybody have a method for getting 3d rendering working on an ATI RS7xx chipset without using fglrx
[01:55] <parabyte> usser_, subsonic iit be?
[01:55] <durt> hey folks, has anyone ever found an app thatcan scan and catalog optical media by files, my searches are fuitless.
[01:55] <Jordan_U> crawler: You need to remove the package for your running kernel
[01:56] <crawler> Jordan_U: okay, will do.
[01:56] <celthunder> nullzero, KMS/radeonhd drivers dont support 3d on anything above RS5xx
[01:56] <eshannon> not a system directory a Hard drive I installed from another system that I want to take files from. I have been using sudo chmod ugo+rwx
[01:56] <parabyte> thanks
[01:56] <usser_> parabyte, eh?
[01:56] <parabyte> usser_,
[01:56] <usser_> parabyte, no problem
[01:56] <nullzero> celthunder: i figured, radeonhd gives me atrocious FPS
[01:56] <nullzero> radeon works fine but only gives me 2d, and simply loading fglrx breaks xserver
[01:57] <mgv1> yesterday ive tried gust user but there wasnt internet connection panel there :-) it was annoying - why isnt it there?
[01:57] <_3mendo> hi
[01:57] <celthunder> nullzero, ah ...how are you installing fglrx
[01:57] <shawn_> Does Karmic run somewhat stabely yet?
[01:57] <nullzero> celthunder: tried both from the repository and from ATI's website with the distro specific package
[01:58] <Flannel> shawn_: It's beta software.  Please ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:58] <nullzero> both cause royal screwups , and doing it through the .bin installer made the kernel modules undead
[01:58] <ArMan> hello
[01:58] <nullzero> had to reformat to get radeon working again
[01:58] <celthunder> nullzero, hmm how did you reconfigure X after installing?
[01:58] <ArMan> alguien habla español¿
[01:58] <lstarnes> !es | ArMan
[01:58] <canthus13> mgv1: So... you're on a public wireless connection?
[01:58] <celthunder> nullzero, did you install catalyst or just the utils
[01:59] <nullzero> celthunder: catalyst
[01:59] <ArMan> chaaa manso
[01:59] <ArMan> gracias por contestar!
[01:59] <celthunder> nullzero, boot to init 3 and then run ati-config --adapter=all --initial
[01:59] <celthunder> it might be aticonfig without a -
[02:00] <_3mendo> sorry to every one I'm trying to install a software from that repositoryhttp://ppa.launchpad.net I got some problem with key certificate, now seems to be that are all ok but when I try to install that software I get some error for depence and I don't know why it doesn't solv it in auto, any help?? in advance thanks
[02:00] <nullzero> celthunder: i don't have fglrx installed, should i use the repo version or the .bin
[02:00] <foundry871> Does that program, Alarm Clock, still have problems in Jaunty?
[02:00] <celthunder> nullzero which card do you have specifically?
[02:00] <Jordan_U> _3mendo: Timeout?
[02:01] <nullzero> celthunder:

[02:01] <elad`> Using regular expressions in python, how do I say something like repetitions of "ab", such as "ab", "abab", "ababab", etc., but not "aba"?
[02:01] <celthunder> okay then 1 moment
[02:01] <Jordan_U> _3mendo: Try pool.sks-keyservers.net as the keyserver
[02:02] <jals> next year will ubuntu use Ubuntu X ?
[02:02] <magnoflux> how can i run a .bin file on crossover linux
[02:02] <lstarnes> elad`: maybe (?:ab)+
[02:02] <_3mendo> Jordan_U,  equested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
[02:02] <_3mendo> distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
[02:02] <_3mendo> or been moved out of Incoming.
[02:02] <_3mendo> The following information may help to resolve the situation:
[02:02] <_3mendo> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[02:02] <FloodBot3> _3mendo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:02] <_3mendo>   avant-window-navigator-trunk: Depends: libawn0-trunk (>= 0.3.0) but it is not going to be installed
[02:02] <lstarnes> jals: 10.x
[02:02] <elad`> What are the paranthesis for?
[02:02] <jals> lstarnes, yeah, but like OSX
[02:02] <crawler> Jordan_U: still the same thing :-(
[02:02] <lstarnes> elad`: grouping.  ab+ is a with one or more b's following
[02:02] <jals> it can be Ubuntu X, or UX
[02:02] <ryguy> is there any reason why downloads from the internet are more than 300 KB/s yet downloads from the update manager are less than 80 KB/s?
[02:03] <Jordan_U> !mirror | ryguy
[02:03] <elad`> I tried (ab)*. Why wouldn't that work?
[02:03] <magnoflux> does crossover linux load .bin files at all???
[02:03] <lstarnes> elad`: that captures each instance of ab and matches 0 or more instances
[02:03] <Billiard> elad: ^(ab)+$
[02:03] <mrmowgli> Is there any way to force the command line install to keep using the same display setting as it starts off with?  Like vesafb or something?
[02:03] <lstarnes> magnoflux: it depends on what the actual fromat inside the .bin file is
[02:03] <elad`> lstarnes, that sounds like what I was asking for.
[02:03] <ryguy> Jordan_U:  No I mean I just started a download from ati and it goes at like 350
[02:04] <lstarnes> magnoflux: try using file filename.bin
[02:04] <Jordan_U> ryguy: Sorry, thought that factoid had the information, System > Administration > Software Sources has an option to find the fastest mirror near you
[02:04] <ryguy> oh okay
[02:04] <ryguy> thanks
[02:04] <Jordan_U> ryguy: np
[02:04] <elad`> (ab)* doesn't work, and I can't figure out why - leading me to the conclusion that I don't really understand regex yet.
[02:04] <crawler> Jordan_U: i booted into a live cd and took a screenshot of the hardware drivers window: http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/8937/screenshothardwaredrive.png
[02:05] <crawler> Jordan_U: the wireless worked in live cd without using the driver.  but enabling the driver and rebooting = no wireless, and no driver listed to deactivate.
[02:05] <joebodo> will ubuntu moblin remix work on non-atom processors - like the celeron in the eee 900 ?
[02:05] <celthunder> uh nullzero are you sure its 3200? doesnt even show up on atis site
[02:05] <pepee> hi. I wanna give internet to my cellphone through my machine via bluetooth
[02:06] <nullzero> celthunder: yep, HD3200 mobility according to lspci
[02:06] <pepee> do someone knows a way to do that?
[02:06] <Jordan_U> elad`: <anything>* means *zero* or more of <anything>, <anything>+ means one or more of <anything>
[02:06] <celthunder> nullzero, ah i missed the m lol
[02:06] <_3mendo> Jordan_U, any subjest
[02:06] <_3mendo> ?
[02:06] <durt> does any one have a good way of scanning and cataloguing removable media? CD/DVD/USB/NAS but mostly data DVDs.
[02:07] <Jordan_U> _3mendo: Please use pastebin to give the error message
[02:07] <Jordan_U> !paste | _3mendo
[02:07] <_3mendo> I'm sorry for before I did mistake
[02:07] <elad`> I know that, Jordan_U. That doesn't seem to be connected with "(ab)*" not matching "ababab".
[02:07] <celthunder> nullzero, 32 or 64 bit?
[02:08] <nullzero> celthunder: 32
[02:08] <Billiard> elad`: check out my pm
[02:08] <elad`> In [142]: re.findall('^(ab)*$', 'ababab')
[02:08] <elad`> Out[142]: ['ab']
[02:08] <elad`> That doesn't make any sense.
[02:08] <magnoflux> im trying to load a .bin file named mdi38.bin into crossover linux and when i click install unsupported software and browse in other cd-rom location the image name doesnt pop up
[02:10] <elad`> Can you explain that, Billiard ?
[02:10] <celthunder> nullzero, uh i'd try the ones in the repositories according to atis site that card isnt supported
[02:10] <BasketCase_Eee> Jordan_U: I figured it out...
[02:10] <_3mendo> Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/292754/
[02:10] <BasketCase_Eee> Jordan_U: it is a known bug in network-manager with VPNs
[02:10] <nullzero> celthunder: roge. i did do aticonfig --initial but without the adapter=all
[02:11] <BasketCase_Eee> Jordan_U: it runs /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/01ifupdown with the vpn-up parameter instead of the up parameter
[02:11] <nullzero> i suspect either the radeon driver is interfering with it OR it doesnt like my native 1399x768
[02:11] <mrmowgli> on the minimal cd for 9.04 the command line installer hangs on detecting hardware, anyone have any ideas how to get past that or see some status messages?
[02:11] <BasketCase_Eee> Jordan_U: which causes that script to fail and then no further scripts including the one I added get run
[02:11] <nullzero> but it never seems to get far enough to give me an xorg.0.log
[02:11] <nullzero> it just goes to vesa
[02:11] <nullzero> or goes nowhere
[02:11] <pepee> nullzero, try the open source driver
[02:11] <Roller-ch> Hi! My name is Andrew! As you know we have in Russia is thriving social network vkontakte!

[02:12] <nullzero> pepee: using it now, doesn't support 3d/compiz with this chipset
[02:12] <mrmowgli> nullzero: which radeon is it?
[02:12] <crawler> Jordan_U: (i'm still fairly new to linux) i noticed a file in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf inside it says http://pastebin.com/maaa68cb  should i delete this file?
[02:12] <nullzero> mrmowgli: HD3200 mobility, RS7xx
[02:12] <nullzero> no 3d support with open source yet for rs700s
[02:12] <mrmowgli> hrmm, been running into issues with a different mobility chip
[02:13] <nullzero> but thankfully if it craps out i just have to apt-get remove and reinstall mesa
[02:13] <Jordan_U> crawler: Try commenting it out
[02:13] <mrmowgli> nullzero: you are just trying to get the acceleration running?
[02:13] <Billiard> elad`: what exactly are you trying to do with regex, check if a string matches a pattern or find multiple occurances of a pattern?
[02:13] <nullzero> mrmowgli: yep, i have no compiz/3d
[02:13] <pepee> nullzero, add this to /etc/apt/sources.list "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main restricted universe multiverse"
[02:13] <crawler> Jordan_U: ok, brb
[02:13] <elad`> Check if it matches a pattern.
[02:13] <mwatts> i am also having graphics driver issue.  i have a compaq 6710b...lots of intel driver problems
[02:13] <mrmowgli> nullzero: do you have the fglrx packages?
[02:14] <_3mendo> does anybody know hot to fix this ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/292754/  in advace thanks
[02:14] <nullzero> pepee: may already be in there
[02:14] <Jordan_U> crawler: Wait
[02:14] <mrmowgli> nullzero: or tried the ati downloads?
[02:14] <nullzero> mrmowgli: no, having the fglrx kernel module even loaded breaks the machine
[02:14] <crawler> Jordan_U: k
[02:14] <nullzero> even if I modify xorg.conf to use the open source driver
[02:14] <Jordan_U> crawler: That should say "blacklist ath_pci"
[02:14] <nullzero> the machine will not boot if fglrx is loaded
[02:14] <Jordan_U> crawler: That's probably the change Hardware Driver makes
[02:15] <Billiard> elad`: use re.match or re.search
[02:15] <mrmowgli> nullzero: have you tried it with the kernel option -nomodetest?
[02:15] <crawler> Jordan_U: ok, so tswitch ath5k with ath_pci?
[02:15] <jals> what will happen in 2017 after Zany Zebra
[02:15] <Jordan_U> crawler: Yes
[02:16] <nullzero> mrmowgli: no
[02:16] <crawler> Jordan_U:  ok, reboot?
[02:16] <nullzero> i could give it a shot
[02:16] <Jordan_U> crawler: YEs
[02:16] <crawler> k, brb
[02:16] <mrmowgli> nullzero: have a read with this note first (I know it's not ubuntu but it is interesting:
[02:16] <mrmowgli> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/Common#Miscellaneous_problems_with_ATI_.2F_AMD_graphics_adapters
[02:17] <dmsuperman> I have a HDD with a FAT32 partition on it, I can't tell which is the damaged part but I'm able to mount the partition successfully. When I do something as simple as ls it takes an exceptional amount of time to perform it
[02:17] <dmsuperman> I'm using rsync right now to copy the files, however slowly, but I'm not sure this is the best tool for retrying broken files
[02:17] <dmsuperman> Any suggestions for perhaps more appropriate tools?
[02:17] <nullzero> mrmowgli: i'll give it a shot once i get fglrx installed again
[02:18] <Satzo> dmsuperman, unstoppable copier
[02:18] <dmsuperman> Satzo: Is that in the repos?
[02:18] <crawler> Jordan_U: haha it worked!  thank you SO much
[02:18] <Satzo> im not certain
[02:18] <Jordan_U> crawler: np :)
[02:18] <nullzero> mrmowgli: added to grub.conf
[02:18] <crawler> Jordan_U: now, do you think i should file a bug report somewhere?
[02:18] <Satzo> dmsuperman, you should run the manufacturer's test on it
[02:19] <Satzo> ex: a seagate tool from seagate website
[02:19] <syn12> Guest29953, type /nick newnickhere
[02:19] <dmsuperman> Satzo: A test doesn't help me copy
[02:19] <mrmowgli> nullzero: make sure you check out that link, it has some interesting options for xorg.conf as well
[02:19] <dmsuperman> Satzo: I already know it's damaged
[02:19] <syn12> oops
[02:19] <Jordan_U> crawler: Yes, against jockey-common or jockey-gtk
[02:19] <dmsuperman> Satzo: And that appears to be a windows application :-/
[02:19] <syn12> wrong room and wrong tab :-/
[02:19] <Satzo> dmsuperman, http://lifehacker.com/253437/download-of-the-day-unstoppable-copier-windowslinux
[02:19] <nullzero> mrmowgli: i hate ati
[02:19] <Satzo> its ported to linux too
[02:19] <mrmowgli> nullzero: me tooooo
[02:19] <_3mendo> Jordan_U,  sorry for disturbing you is just to know if there is anything that I can do about this http://paste.ubuntu.com/292754/ in advance thanks
[02:20] <Jordan_U> crawler: The bug being that you were able to enable the madwifi driver but not disable it later
[02:20] <Satzo> dmsuperman, ive never used it so i cant further advise
[02:20] <dukz> hi guys, i just installed a new 8.04 LTS server. While doing configuration, DNS, etc. etc.... my $TERM env variable became xterm-new for some reason
[02:20] <mrmowgli> nullzero: this is the third OS attempt I've tried and they all fail because of the stupid ATI card
[02:20] <Guest34934> hi! please help my new webcam don't work vimicro/sonic series uvc, im using jaunty
[02:20] <crawler> Jordan_U: okay, i will do that for sure.  i'll go to jockey-gtk with the bug report.  you have a nice day, i wish you well! :-)
[02:21] <dukz> now, my man pages would tell me that the terminal is not fully functional. I know i can just do an export TERM=xterm, but how do i replace that permanently? Which file should I edit?

[02:22] <sdwrage> I have 2 hard drives, 1 with xp (80gig) and one that I have all my media on (250gig). I am wanting to resize my 250 gig so that I may install it on my media disk as well as have the loader installed. Is there an easy way to do this from the cd install?
[02:22] <tuffax> can i set up a samba file share through a wired belkin router?
[02:23] <alteregoa> ok
[02:23] <alteregoa> easy
[02:23] <alteregoa> tuffax: are you trying to use a virtual connection?
[02:24] <tuffax> no
[02:24] <nullzero> sud
[02:24] <alteregoa> you cannot route multicast stuff
[02:25] <alteregoa> so the samba server has to be in the same subnet
[02:25] <mgv1> how can i determine if my laptop microphone is not working? if it isnt recording it menas its bad?
[02:25] <tuffax> what's the best bet then for connecting a laptop(xp) and unix box?
[02:25] <LinuX2half> is there a way to install sharepod in ubuntu?
[02:25] <LinuX2half> !sharepod
[02:26] <sdwrage> can anyone help me with my above problem? :)
[02:26] <_3mendo> Jordan_U,  just for your knowlodge http://paste.ubuntu.com/292762/ I'm looking the link that you just gave to me

[02:26] <mrmowgli> GAH
[02:27] <mrmowgli> Clearly the various distro's are spending too much time adding cool shit instead of making rock solid installers ...:(
[02:27] <sdwrage> I have 2 hard drives, 1 with xp (80gig) and one that I have all my media on (250gig). I am wanting to resize my 250 gig so that I may install it on my media disk as well as have the loader installed. Is there an easy way to do this from the cd install?
[02:27] <stebalien> mgv1:  try the pulse-audio volume meter "sudo aptitude install pavumeter".
[02:28] <nullzero> nomodeset added as kernel parameter, aticonfig --initial --adapter=all, ati and radeon drivers uninstalled
[02:28] <nullzero> im sweating already
[02:28] <alteregoa> mrowgli: yeah thats like girls trying to push every cream into their faces, instead changing their character

[02:29] <sdwrage> Hey alteregoa, would you know anything about my above problem?
[02:30] <alteregoa> the psychosemantic police
[02:30] <alteregoa> your problem?
[02:30] <sdwrage> actually not a problem as it is a need of a solution really
[02:30] <sdwrage> I have 2 hard drives, 1 with xp (80gig) and one that I have all my media on (250gig). I am wanting to resize my 250 gig so that I may install it on my media disk as well as have the loader installed. Is there an easy way to do this from the cd install?
[02:30] <alteregoa> yeah ise qparted and resize it
[02:30] <alteregoa> start from the cd
[02:31] <sdwrage> yeah, the problem is... I dont know what I need exactly.... there are a lot of formatting options... do I go with ext3? how big should my swap be? will it install grub loader?
[02:31] <mgv1> stebalien, i see the program bars going up and down - that means that the microphone isnt went bad?
[02:31] <alteregoa> ok the swap should be 1.5 times your memory
[02:31] <stebalien> mgv1:  "sudo aptitude purge pavumeter"
[02:31] <alteregoa> the grub loader aprox 60mb
[02:32] <konbon> thanks for the help as always gents. much appreciated. have a good one! :)
[02:32] <__Techie__> is there an alternative bootloader to grub that works well with a persistant usb install?
[02:32] <mgv1> stebalien, ok - but how do i work with the program to know about the microphone? :-)
[02:32] <tuffax> alteregoa: how would i connect the laptop and pc with out a crossover ethernet?
[02:32] <Jordan_U> elad`: Still there?
[02:33] <sdwrage> alteregoa, it doesnt give me an option for the loader in the drop down when I choose to resize my partition
[02:33] <alteregoa> the router has switch ports
[02:33] <tuffax> yes
[02:33] <alteregoa> ok just connect the laptop to the router, and the pc
[02:33] <stebalien> mgv1:  run "pavumeter --record". this will show you the input volume on your microphone.
[02:34] <tuffax> got that so far.. i can ping the router with xp but not with the linux machine
[02:34] <alteregoa> could you ping the router from the linux machine?
[02:35] <LinuX2half> !atunes
[02:35] <sdwrage> alteregoa, how do I install the grub loader exactly? its not an option in the dropdown
[02:35] <alteregoa> ask someone else i hate grub
[02:35] <sdwrage> I see
[02:35] <tuffax> no.. ifconfig eth0 gives me an ip address but the ping times out
[02:36] <sdwrage> alteregoa, what about the format that my file system should be with ubuntu? sorry for so many Q's x.x
[02:36] <mgv1> stebalien, it shoes wierd results - the front left is jumping at 0.5 percent and when i tap the microphone both are getting just a little bit furder to 4 % :-)
[02:36] <alteregoa> tuffax: try change the wires
[02:36] <lstarnes> sdwrage: ext3 is usually good enough
[02:36] <nullzero> well, that failed in a rather stupid manner
[02:36] <FeasibilityStudy> sdwrage: go to a terminal and type "grub"
[02:36] <stebalien> mgv1:  That means that the microphone is working but you may need to increase its volume.
[02:36] <alteregoa> sdwrage: use ext3
[02:37] <sdwrage> ok]
[02:37] <sdwrage> thx
[02:37] <sdwrage> that helps a bunch
[02:37] <tuffax> are you thinking that its a faulty connection>
[02:37] <JuJuBee> mtnbkr: still able to assist with  my network card?
[02:37] <alteregoa> ext has still some spastic problems, or use xfs
[02:37] <JuJuBee> I had to leave for a while/.
[02:37] <sebsebseb> sdwrage: Ext4 is the default for the next on 9.10, not for upgrades though, and it's not perfectly stable in 9.04
[02:37] <FeasibilityStudy> sdwrage: actually just follow the instructions here.  Look at comment #2 and follow his advice..http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html

[02:46] <mrmowgli> yikes
[02:46] <Xcell> ok !topic
[02:46] <nullzero> i had to remove fglrx and reinstall ati and edit xorg.conf from recovery mode
[02:46] <mrmowgli> what drivers are you using?
[02:46] <jeff1140> I am having trouble with it on my pc though
[02:46] <jeff1140> the drivers
[02:47] <jeff1140> for my graphic card
[02:47] <nullzero> then init 5'd into xorg and it works again
[02:47] <mrmowgli> nullzero: did you read that section on ATI?
[02:47] <blueglasses> jeff1140, is it nvidia or ati?
[02:47] <jeff1140> nvidia
[02:47] <Xcell> my drivers get paid litle due to that production has been trashed via the obama (change).. thanks buddy.
[02:47] <jeff1140> its a nvidia 5200 fx
[02:47] <nullzero> mrmowgli: yes, i had the nomodeset
[02:47] <JuJuBee> anybody know if a Realtek RTL8110s works with Jaunty 64Bit?  I am having a terrible time getting it working
[02:48] <nullzero> none of the other stuff seemed to be applicable given my chipset is newer
[02:48] <blueglasses> nvidia shouldnt give any trouble
[02:48] <mrmowgli> nullzero: is your chipset still supported by the main ati download drivers?
[02:48] <Xcell> nvidia is the way to go with linux.. pass it on.
[02:48] <jeff1140> it says unable to enable desktop effects when i try to enable them
[02:48] <blueglasses> yeap :)
[02:48] <mrmowgli> nullzero: also, do you have dri off or on?
[02:49] <nullzero> nullzero: yes, and dri is on i believe
[02:49] <Moon_Doggy> xcell ubuntu didn't like my geforce 6200
[02:49] <nullzero> i mean its an rs7xx, supported as far as i know
[02:50] <blueglasses> jeff1140, probably you should get more memory, or faster card, but specially more memory
[02:50] <mrmowgli> nullzero: well if you have the kernel sources you may want to do the ati download instead of using the repository
[02:50] <nullzero> fglrx just blows up xserver
[02:50] <LinuX2half> !ifuse
[02:50] <jeff1140> it has 256mb graphics
[02:50] <jeff1140> it should work
[02:50] <nullzero> mrmowgli: oh no, i am not doing that. i tried ati's installer and i couldn't get fglrx to fully uninstall
[02:51] <nullzero> not only did it blackscreen as usual but i had to reformat to get radeon working again
[02:51] <mrmowgli> nullzero: there's also a way to get extra debug info from xorg
[02:51] <blueglasses> jeff1140, and it works
[02:51] <mrmowgli> nullzero: YIKES
[02:51]  * mrmowgli hates stupid lame ati
[02:51] <nullzero> mrmowgli: the ati .bin installer left the kernel modules behind, and as long as they are loaded they interfere with radeon = 2 fps
[02:51] <jeff1140> it doesnt work though
[02:51] <blueglasses> jeff1140, try the nvidia drivers
[02:52] <Xcell> oh rly?.. explain.. did you first impliment the ubuntu drivers and then install the real ones?.. makes a diff....really folks.. pay attention.. once you load ubuntu.. you let it idle for 5 mins.. then go to nvidia site and download frivers.. and follow firections.. directions is what get people into trouble when not followed properly.. Think Smart.
[02:52] <Hub_cap> Attempting to open gpass but I don't know paswd. Anyone know the default?
[02:52] <nullzero> i did uninstall.sh and its totally useless, leaves crap behind everywhere
[02:53] <mrmowgli> Let this be a lesson folks, friends don't let friends buy ATI
[02:53] <LinuX2half> !gnupod
[02:53] <nullzero> i mean if i could just get some kinda debug info
[02:53] <Xcell> nullzero-  you did not follow implicit directions.. thats obvious.
[02:53] <nullzero> but installing the headers for extra debug info wouldnt do me any good i don't think. since no logs are being generated i'm assuming xserver isnt even starting.
[02:53] <mrmowgli> nullzero: well other than dmesg you can get more...
[02:54] <nullzero> Xcell: i did sudo halt as a startup script and its borked, wat do i do?!?!?!/1/1
[02:54] <Nautilus> is there a command to list symbolic links (or maybe they're in a dir?)

[02:55] <Snake23> Nautilus: use the "find" command
[02:55] <coolcat> Hi, how am I sopposed to install firefox-3.5 ? I see in the command Line I have firefox-3.0 and firefox-3.5 the last is buggy and I am not being able to use it, if I start it from the terminal I get error messages like: "../IcedTeaPlugin.cc:3858: Error: create process" and "/IcedTeaPlugin.cc:4081: Error: Failed to flush bytes to output channel" How to fix this?
[02:55] <Xcell> nullzero-  implimenting graphics drivers is simple.. problem is folks like to do that (after) everything is loaded.. U like most folks   know that graphics must load first te enable the X that will run it.. linux is a peculiar logic.
[02:55] <LinuX2half> does gnupod supports ipod touch firmware?
[02:55] <werfact> is there a way to see if i registered any nicks with a given email?
[02:56] <taggedd> Need sis video driver that doesn't have "wierd" effects.
[02:56] <Nautilus> Snake23: what to look for?
[02:56] <Xcell> sis video?
[02:56] <taggedd> Xcell:  Yes.  Using Acer Aspire 3000.  DVD video and other video has interlacing stuff.
[02:57] <ybeddyj> how do i otherwise force screen detection without using /etx/x11/xorg.conf?
[02:57] <Laque> My nvidia-settings states that both my graphics card and my onboard gpu have 512MB of VRAM.
[02:57] <Laque> My motherboard supports Hybrid SLI so I'm hoping this means the onboard is being used as well.
[02:57] <blueglasses> this might sound like a joke, but as more people use linux, more people need stupid software to do configurations for them, most people simply dont want to waste time configuring stuff, this might be good
[02:57] <taggedd> Xcell:  Any thoughs?
[02:57] <Laque> How can I find out if my onboard GPU or at least its VRAM is being used?
[02:58] <Xcell> google it.. ask google this...enabeling sis graphics in ubuntu.. folks forget google and come here looking.. google it
[02:58] <Xcell> google.. google....google
[02:58] <nullzero> i wouldnt be here if google had solved my problem, but it appears that i am not alone
[02:58] <Xcell> being alone.. state  ur case
[02:59] <blueglasses> a google problem solver would be a nice piece of software :D
[02:59] <Xcell> agreed
[02:59] <Xcell> for the lazy
[02:59] <mrmowgli> google should just solve all the problems as soon as it indexes them
[02:59] <Xcell> it will and does.. it depends on the Q
[02:59] <blueglasses> we all are lazy
[02:59] <nullzero> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/366529
[03:00] <pepee> what about similar problems, but without the same solution?
[03:00] <ybeddyj> my system has a intel gpu but i keeps giving me only 800x600 on my 1268x1024 lcd
[03:00] <Xcell> it never waists bandwidth. lol
[03:00] <alteregoa> yeah afaik it depends on the q continuum
[03:00] <pepee> google can't think itself
[03:00] <blueglasses> you just make a choice on what is your lazyness

[03:01] <Xcell> folks.. google knows this.. convert. (for the time being) to dogpile.. and the (corp) will take notice.... pay attetion.
[03:01] <nullzero> in any case i think i'm just going to wait, hopefully radeon or radeonhd will support 3d for rs7xx eventually
[03:01] <ybeddyj> back in the days when  i get similar problems i could modify monitor setting in xorg.conf or even through system settings but thats no longer so it seems
[03:01] <mips-BR> hey
[03:01] <Xcell> anyway.. nuff said.
[03:02] <ybeddyj> how do i otherwise force screen detection without using /etx/x11/xorg.conf?
[03:02] <ybeddyj> my system has a intel gpu but i keeps giving me only 800x600 on my 1268x1024 lcd
[03:02] <Xcell> mips-BR-  state ur claim
[03:02] <ybeddyj> back in the days when  i get similar problems i could modify monitor setting in xorg.conf or even through system settings but thats no longer so it seems
[03:02] <Bof> Is there a risk to update bios?
[03:02] <Laque> I assume there must be a linux terminal command or a utility of some kind that would state how much of my VRAM is being used out of its max
[03:02] <mips-BR> anyone here trying karmic koala had this gone through trouble? I upgraded libncurses5 and now I can't go back, and everything that used the old lib (5.6 and lower) segfaults!!!!!!!!!
[03:02] <joebodo> ybeddyj, i had a similar issue - i had to enter my monitor information into the xorg.conf before it could provide the correct resolutions

[03:06] <Bof> Is there a risk to create problems with the OS if I update the bios?
[03:06] <alteregoa> ok
[03:06] <alteregoa> you can ping the router u said?
[03:06] <tuffax> yes
[03:07] <blueglasses> Bof, i dont think so.
[03:07] <Jihui_Choi> I use sd card on 9.04. and now my can't write anything on my sd card after I shutdowned uncorrectly.
[03:07] <alteregoa> try to ping the notebook from the pc
[03:07] <Jihui_Choi> how can I fix it?
[03:07] <Frijolie> how do you repair your environment variables?
[03:07] <coolcat> mnaines1, apt-cache search shiretoko, gives nothing to me, isn't in ubuntu repos?
[03:07] <Frijolie> is there a listing of the default settings?
[03:08] <mnaines1> coolcat: Yeah, its in the repos

[03:09] <pepee> ohh, forgot to mention: via bluetooth
[03:09] <coolcat> mnaines1, Any Idea about why I am not findding it?
[03:09] <Jihui_Choi> blueglasses: thanks. it works. Damn I reboot several times because of this!
[03:09] <Jihui_Choi> the solution is so simple -_-
[03:09] <alteregoa> yeah ubuntu is not very talkative
[03:10] <blueglasses> Jihui_Choi, you are welcome :-)
[03:10] <Frijolie> any ideas?
[03:10] <alteregoa> export something
[03:11] <Jihui_Choi> blueglasses: there is a problem still. http://web.mr-dust.pe.kr/screenshots/Mr.Dust-desktop-20091013-20m11m17s.png
[03:11] <mnaines1> coolcat: Firefox 3.5 works fine for me
[03:12] <nullzero> i wonder if i should reinstall the linux image and try fglrx again
[03:13] <Jihui_Choi> I think it's mounted uncorrectly, see this screenshot, http://web.mr-dust.pe.kr/screenshots/Mr.Dust-desktop-20091013-20m12m42s.png
[03:13] <GodfatherofEire1> Can anybody think of why the usplash would only go part of the way, and then revert to text on "Reading files needed to boot"?
[03:13] <BuddhistpineappL> i want to switch from wired ethernet to wifi connection on my laptop without interrupting the connection. (all on the same network of course.)
[03:14] <blueglasses> Jihui_Choi, just eject it or unmont it. On next reboot everything will be fine.
[03:14] <BuddhistpineappL> how do you do it?
[03:14] <verzel> hi, i'm on a newly installed ubuntu server, and no network interfaces are showing up on an ifconfig!
[03:14] <verzel> only lo
[03:14] <Jihui_Choi> ok I'll try
[03:14] <nullzero> lshw -C network
[03:14] <nullzero> verzel
[03:14] <mrmowgli> nullzero: when you have the kernel module it won't even boot?
[03:14] <nullzero> anything show up?
[03:14] <zmanning> hey guys can someone point me to the most recent macbook ubuntu documentation/image
[03:15] <verzel> nullzero, yes
[03:15] <nullzero> mrmowgli: nope. even when i edited xorg.conf to use ati, if fglrx is loaded x dies
[03:15] <verzel> both my ethernet and wifi device
[03:15] <nullzero> verzel: does it say they are unclaimed?
[03:15] <verzel> the first line of each says *-network DISABLED
[03:16] <nullzero> verzel: no network icon in tray?
[03:16] <verzel> nullzero : server
[03:16] <mrmowgli> nullzero: but with fglrx it still boots, just xorg crashes?
[03:16] <verzel> ubuntu server edition
[03:16] <verzel> command line only
[03:16] <nullzero> verzel: oops, my bad.
[03:17] <nullzero> mrmowgli: with fglrx it gets to the point before the login screen, then blackscreen and hang
[03:17] <verzel> do the atheros drivers come pre-installed on server now?
[03:17] <nullzero> whatever it's doing it isn't writing anything to Xorg.0.log
[03:17] <BuddhistpineappL> i want to switch from wired ethernet to wifi connection on my laptop without interrupting the connection. (all on the same network of course.)
[03:17] <BuddhistpineappL> how do you do it?
[03:17] <mrmowgli> nullzero: full hang?  do you have another machine you could ssh into it with?
[03:17] <carpediem> verzel: doubtful....your server is wifi?  that's a bit odd
[03:17] <mnaines1> BuddhistpineappL: You don't
[03:18] <verzel> carpediem don't worry about it.  first thing is i need to enable ANY network interface.
[03:18] <nullzero> mrmowgli: full hang, brief moment of graphic corruption, i don't get any command line
[03:18] <nullzero> verzel: what vendor is your wired nic?
[03:18] <verzel> marvell
[03:18] <leaf-sheep> Question! Is there at least an AIM client that supports webcam? I know Pidgin does not!
[03:18] <verzel> i'm surprised it's not already working actually
[03:18] <verzel> it's an oldie
[03:18] <nullzero> my wired NIC didn't work either
[03:19] <wolf23> can anyone please help me to download the vga driver -> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 65x/M650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter
[03:19] <BuddhistpineappL> mnaines1: I'm sorry but that answer is wrong because I've done it once before.
[03:19] <nullzero> i have an attansic, and it didn't work out of the box either
[03:19] <nullzero> but i installed a new linux-image and suddenly it came to life, included the atl1c driver
[03:19] <verzel> nullzero, this has worked OTB before
[03:19] <verzel> on older ubuntus
[03:19] <Jihui_Choi> humm.. I have a problem still.. see http://web.mr-dust.pe.kr/screenshots/Mr.Dust-desktop-20091013-20m19m11s.png
[03:19] <mnaines1> BuddhistpineappL: If it cannot be repeated a second time and if you don't remember how you did it, why are you asking us for help?
[03:20] <nullzero> verzel: if it says disabled and not unclaimed, i don't think it's missing the driver anyways
[03:20] <alokito> im getting this error after the update-grub command: error: cannot seek `/dev/sda'
[03:20] <alokito> how to fix it?
[03:20]  * mnaines1 admires the wonders of documentation
[03:20] <alokito> I installed mandriva recently, and I installed mandriva grub in it's own root partition
[03:20] <BuddhistpineappL> i never said it couldn't be repeated a 2nd time. who said it couldn't be repeated a 2nd time?
[03:20] <verzel> nullzero the thing is, there is no eth0 device
[03:21] <wergeld> verzel, i had the same problem. it came up after i tried to make the IP of eth0 static. It worked but when I rebooted into headless mode through NX it said there were not network connections available. yet i was logged in over the network. What I did to fix it was delete all info in resolv and rc and interfaces files and then enter in my static IP info in the network manager app. rebooted a few times and all is good.
[03:21] <mnaines1> BuddhistpineappL: I am not going to sit here and argue about it.  I do not think anyone in here can help you to figure it out
[03:21] <wergeld> seems like ubuntu's network manager gets confused if you use the GUI interface and also edit the files by hand. Unsure which takes presedence but some wires got crossed.
[03:21] <verzel> wergeld the thing is that there is no desktop interface on my machine, and there is no eth0
[03:22] <nullzero> ifconfig
[03:22] <BuddhistpineappL> ok ill swing by networking then come back
[03:22] <nullzero> whoops wrong screen
[03:22] <BuddhistpineappL> ##networking*
[03:23] <Jihui_Choi> I can't write anything on my SD-card still. please help me http://paste.ubuntu.com/292796/
[03:23] <mrmowgli> nullzero: I also read there were problems with the access mode on some of the mobilities - turning sideport off in the bios helped (using only shared memmory)
[03:23] <nullzero> mrmowgli: will try tomorrow. fglrx'd out for the time being
[03:23] <carpediem> verzel: I recently setup ubuntu server, and had no ethX.  In my /etc/network/interfaces I had a config for eth0.  But for some reason, I could see in dmesg that the server interface was trying to be activated on eth1.  I edited that config to change eth0 to eth1, ran /etc/init.d/networking restart, and then eth1 appeared.
[03:24] <mrmowgli> nullzero: understood.  I'm very close to total burnout as well.
[03:24] <verzel> carpediem i'll try that
[03:24] <wolf23> can anyone please help me to download the vga driver -> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 65x/M650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter thanx
[03:24] <wergeld> can anyone explain why my 120GB drive is being used as a swap partition? I did not set it to be used as a swap partition during install. I am unable to mount it or remove the swap flag from the partiton using fstab or pysdm tools
[03:25] <mrmowgli> wergeld: swapoff /dev/sdb
[03:25] <joebodo> Jihui_Choi, unmount the sd card and run fsck on it
[03:25] <mrmowgli> or whatever your deive is
[03:25] <carpediem> wergeld: lol, wow....and I thought I had seen everything
[03:25] <verzel> carpediem my interfaces file doesn't even mention eth0
[03:25] <Madcamper> whats a minimal music player someone suggests for ubuntu? something like winamp
[03:25] <nullzero> wolf23: is xserver-xorg-video-sis installed?
[03:26] <Jihui_Choi> joebodo: thank you, I just found a page which has the same answer. :)
[03:26] <nullzero> Madcamper: audacious is similar to winamp, you can reskin it
[03:26] <Madcamper> ok
[03:26] <wergeld> carpediem, yea its a fun one
[03:26] <wolf23> nullzero,  i dont know, how could i know?
[03:26] <jamiewan> Madcamper: vlc player is great too
[03:26] <Madcamper> thx
[03:26] <mnaines1> Madcamper: Banshee music player
[03:26] <GodfatherofEire1> Can anybody think of why the usplash would only go part of the way, and then revert to text on "Reading files needed to boot"?
[03:26] <Jihui_Choi> but I can't unmount
[03:26] <baltadt> does anyone know of a program that translates speak to text?
[03:26] <nullzero> wolf23: try sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-sis
[03:26] <nullzero> it should be already installed, in which case you might need to just configure X
[03:26] <jph_> Flash Question - I have installed flash form adobe and restarted firefox, no when i go to this site - http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/  - i get a "play button" but once i click on that play button it works... How do i make it so that flash auto loads and auto plays when I visit a site?
[03:26] <jamiewan> baltadt: what like the opposite to ORCA?
[03:27] <carpediem> verzel: don't know that you need to do this, but worth a try.  Try adding to the interfaces file "auto eth0" then another line "iface eth0 inet dhcp" then run /etc/init.d/networking restart
[03:27] <wergeld> first noticed the issue when none of my 3 drives other than my OS drive were being mounted at boot time. seems sketchy to me. all the drives had been mounted under opensuse 10.3 using ext3 and NOT set as a swap.
[03:27] <Satzo> baltadt, http://linux-sound.org/speech.html
[03:27]  * mrmowgli secretly hates computers
[03:28] <baltadt> kinda
[03:28] <joebodo> Jihui_Choi, why can't you unmount ?
[03:28] <joebodo> GodfatherofEire1, is this on 9.10 ?
[03:28] <baltadt> jaimiewan: I want to use it to write school papers
[03:28] <tuffax> alteregoa: thanks for your help - i assigned an ip address to eth0 and then reset samba and it connects fine now
[03:29] <Guest35011> name patrick
[03:29] <Jihui_Choi> I don't know. anyway I unmount now.
[03:29] <jamiewan> Baltadt http://www.freeos.com/articles/2613/
[03:29] <verzel> carpediem it worked!!!

[03:32] <nullzero> god is liquor, satan is fglrx
[03:32] <GodfatherofEire1> jamiewan, speech recognition, not synthesis
[03:33] <verzel> is liquor a new ATI driver?
[03:33] <verzel> or are you being silly?
[03:33] <alteregoa> speech regconesis not synthision
[03:33] <nullzero> verzel: being mad
[03:33] <mrmowgli> verzel: if liquer is a new ati driver, I don't want it
[03:33] <verzel> lol
[03:33] <nullzero> i left a note on the table to disable sideport
[03:34] <nullzero> so ill try it again whenever my hangover goes away but im not crossing my fingers
[03:34] <mrmowgli> I just want ANY ubuntu installer to work on this freakin laptop
[03:34] <nullzero> im gonna cross my fingers and hope ati/radeon supports R7xx in the near future
[03:34] <alteregoa> mrmowgli?
[03:34] <jamiewan> GodfatherofEire1: try googling VoxForge
[03:34] <mrmowgli> alteregoa: yep?
[03:34] <alteregoa> whats wrong with your installation?
[03:35] <mrmowgli> nullzero: may the gods of ATI smile upon you
[03:35] <baltadt> what about Transciber? good or bad?
[03:35] <werfact> is there a way to see if i registered any nicks with a given email?
[03:35] <mrmowgli> alteregoa: well that's easy they all hang on the graphical installer because I have one of the coolest ATI mobility chips EVER
[03:35] <nullzero> mrmowgli: they won't. and i've had this particular problem with 4 different distros so i'm fairly certain it's ATI
[03:35] <n2diy> where would I put a file I want to be available over my lan? I have a "Public" directory, but the capital P doesn't look right, and I can't access the directory over the lan?
[03:35] <jph_> Flash Question - I have installed flash form adobe and restarted firefox, no when i go to this site - http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/  - i get a "play button" but once i click on that play button it works...

[03:35] <Germanaz0> someone can help me ? :x
[03:35] <mrmowgli> nullzero: I'm only on my third distro :(
[03:35] <vox> werfact: join #freenode and ask there
[03:36] <nullzero> mandriva tried to use fglrx from the livecd, wouldn't even boot from that
[03:36] <alteregoa> mrmowglI: yeah i had to use native drivers here
[03:36] <nullzero> mrmowgli: which chip exactly/pci id?
[03:36] <alteregoa> lspci
[03:36] <mrmowgli> I eventually got Fedora on this sucker
[03:36] <wergeld> this so wierd....sda1 is NOT listed as a swap partition in fstab but pysdm sees as swap and i cannot write to it at all through Samba
[03:36] <Germanaz0> beh fuck bubuntu, viva gentoo
[03:37] <werfact> vox, ty
[03:37] <alteregoa> bell invented it, thats why
[03:37] <mrmowgli> ATI Radeon Mobility 200m
[03:37] <alteregoa> i think i got the same crap chip here
[03:37] <mrmowgli> Lovely Hp Pavilion zv6000
[03:38] <alteregoa> wait, i tell you what sucker i use
[03:38] <nullzero> is the 200m even supported?
[03:38] <mrmowgli> nullzero: heh, no.
[03:38] <night1ne> Got a quick question..
[03:39] <nullzero> i figured, ati calls it 'legacy'
[03:39] <mrmowgli> That's what I love about laptops
[03:39] <nullzero> but the open source driver should work just fine
[03:39] <mrmowgli> I can't even get through an ubuntu install
[03:39] <mrmowgli> Even in text only mode
[03:39] <alteregoa> x-server-.org video ati
[03:39] <night1ne> I was able to copy the windows files over to the USB stick, but when I tried rebooting and all that, it said 'Boot Manager is missing'.
[03:40] <night1ne> Is there any way to fix this?
[03:40] <mrmowgli> I'd put gentoo on it but it would be evil (someone elses laptop)
[03:40] <nullzero> think ill just cut off the hd3200 and solder on an nvidia lol
[03:40] <alteregoa> and it works
[03:40] <nullzero> what i use also alteregoa
[03:40] <nullzero> but since i have a newer chipset i have no 3d accel without fglrx
[03:40] <nullzero> gives me good framerate for 2d
[03:40] <mrmowgli> nullzero: if you get good at soldering, well then I have some work for you ;)
[03:40] <pacifica> Germanaz0: seems like a compiz issue to me
[03:41] <patrick_> rd1381
[03:41] <nullzero> mrmowgli: oh, i can solder...just not that delicately, plus i doubt it would work
[03:41] <alteregoa> strange 3d accel works, but whatever
[03:41] <nullzero> alteregoa: what chip id?
[03:41] <mrmowgli> alteregoa: I don't think it's going to help until I actually have an install work
[03:41] <alteregoa> i got no clue
[03:41] <nullzero> rs5xx and below have 3d with ati
[03:41] <nullzero> lspci -nn?
[03:41] <pacifica> Germanaz0: disable the desktop effects and try again
[03:42] <P1ro> yo, my AR242x restart everytime im playing quakelive im using lastest madwifi and taht happend too much, im using ubuntu right now on a usb flash o_O
[03:42] <nullzero> if its an r5xx or below, the xserver-xorg-video-ati will give you 3d
[03:42] <nullzero> and you are a lucky bastard
[03:43] <alteregoa> its 1002:5653
[03:43] <Balsaq> inmy ubuntu error console it always shows this error:  file:///usr/lib/xrunner-<IP_ADDRESS>/components/nsUrlClassifiedLib.js does anyone know what this means?
[03:43] <nullzero> you're fully supported alteregoa
[03:43] <nullzero> that's x300 series i think
[03:44] <alteregoa> i t said x200 but nothing more
[03:44] <alteregoa> on the sticker at least
[03:44] <nullzero> yeah, the middle-age chips have 3d support without needing fglrx
[03:45] <nullzero> kinda strange for me to be wishing i had an older gpu in this laptop
[03:45] <Balsaq> also says key is null...right above that big long sequence?
[03:46] <alteregoa> jamie oliver has nice chickens
[03:46] <MenZa> alteregoa: I bet he does. However, this channel is solely for Ubuntu support.
[03:46] <alteregoa> yeah i agree
[03:47] <jamiewan> alteregoa: and he's a wanker
[03:47] <bubba_> has the boot option "noapic" changed to something else? karmic beta doesn't seem to like it.
[03:47] <alteregoa> thats why i like the channel
[03:47] <mrmowgli> MenZa: Chickens is a new ati driver
[03:47] <vox> language please, children.
[03:47] <alteregoa> jamie: so he is related to al bundy?
[03:47] <MenZa> mrmowgli: That has to be the weirdest name for a piece of software, ever. >_<
[03:48] <vox> guys, either keep your talk to ubuntu support related topics, or move to #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:48] <_schism_> evening all
[03:48] <Satzo> hi
[03:49] <grturner> allo
[03:51] <netbook> Can I list the directory a file is in with ls command?
[03:51] <netbook> I want to list not just the file, but the directory the file is in
[03:51] <vox> netbook: no, use locate
[03:51] <netbook> ok
[03:51] <netbook> slocate?
[03:51] <scunizi> netbook: you might need to "sudo updatedb"
[03:52] <vox> netbook: no, just locate
[03:52] <night1ne> Hmm. So is there a windows room?
[03:52] <night1ne> I'm kind of in the middle here.
[03:52] <scunizi> ##windows
[03:52] <night1ne> I don't know if it's possible to install a boot manager onto a USB stick.
[03:52] <scunizi> night1ne: you mean just the boot manager or an entire live cd?
[03:52] <night1ne> And the reason why I'm in here is, of course, because I run eeebuntu
[03:53] <cody_> How do i find out my manufacturer of my motherboard?
[03:53] <night1ne> I've got the Windows 7iso files onto the USB, but it says no Boot Manager.
[03:53] <cody_> Will terminal be able to tell me?
[03:53] <scunizi> cody_: sudo lshw will tell you los
[03:53] <scunizi> *lots
[03:53] <jeremey1> I'm a web developer that is trying to get some help on switching completely from windows (ie from photoshop), is there a room for that?
[03:53] <netbook> vox i am trying to search through a pidgin log for messages sent to me today, eg 2009-10-13.*
[03:53] <netbook> vox locate didn't turn up anything
[03:53] <cody_> scunizi: Thank you very much, i will try it
[03:54] <netbook> vox I can do ls and i know there is the file, i just don't know what directory
[03:54] <Cyrano_De> netbook: #gimp
[03:54] <scunizi> night1ne: so what exactly are you attempting?
[03:54] <ixian_> night1ne: did you just copy the .iso file to a usb stick? that doesn't really work
[03:54] <netbook> Cryano_De what about gimp?
[03:54] <night1ne> To install the windows 7 through a usb stick
[03:54] <Cyrano_De> netbook: Sorry, should have directed that @ jeremey1
[03:54] <night1ne> I didn't think so, either. but a friend of mine thinks it should work
[03:54] <Ermott> Good day. I just wanted to pop in, to thank those of you who have spent time creating, promoting and furthering both Linux and Ubuntu. As a longtime windows user, and now new Ubuntu user, both on my netbook and more powerful computer at home, I want you to know that the work you do has incredible value, and frees our hardware to perform without DRM and licence crippling.
[03:55] <ixian_> night1ne: there's a utility called winsetupfromusb, that ive used to install XP from a usb stick, i don't know if it supports win7 yet though
[03:55] <alteregoa> !god
[03:55] <Ermott> Thanks so much for making my computer a pleasure to work with again.
[03:55] <jeremey1> Cyrano_D cool, duh...  thx
[03:55] <night1ne> Okay. Linux version?
[03:55] <Flannel> alteregoa: Please help keep this channel ontopic, thanks.
[03:55] <netbook> Anyone know abou this?  I can do ls -R|grep  and i know there is the file, i just don't know what directory
[03:55] <cody_> scunizi: Are you able to tell me the model?  Which means I need windows.
[03:56] <scunizi> netbook: so let me see if I have this right.. you open a terminal and do an ls for a directory listing and the file you're looking for is there.. but you want to know what directory it's in as well. Is this an excersize in how to use ls or are you really interested in which directory?
[03:56] <night1ne> Okay.
[03:56] <InitHello> addendum: jaunty/kde
[03:56] <MenZa> night1ne: What are you attempting to do?
[03:56] <night1ne> Sorry for the language.
[03:56] <netbook> scunizi i am really interested in what directory, it isn't a directory listing it is a file
[03:56] <ixian_> night1ne: there could be something that runs on linux, i've never really looked into it
[03:56] <dave1231> hey guys, i have an ati and my driver support for two monitors suck, does anybody know if that changes with ubuntu 9.10?
[03:57] <MenZa> night1ne: I'm fairly sure you need a DVD drive to install that.
[03:57] <MenZa> dave1231: Try #ubuntu+1
[03:57] <night1ne> What would I use as a search on google?
[03:57] <netbook> found it, thanks all... i guess grep saves the day
[03:57] <dave1231> Menza: whats ubuntu+1?
[03:57] <chalcedony> what chat clients do work with ubuntu for msn yahoo icq gtalk jabber ?
[03:57] <MenZa> night1ne: For the record, this is waaay offtopic for this channel. Try 'windows 7 install from usb' or something similar.
[03:57] <MenZa> chalcedony: Pidgin is installed by default.
[03:57] <scunizi> cody_: sorry cody_ .. no way to tell by that info.. you might have to open the case and look if it's there.
[03:57] <MenZa> dave1231: #ubuntu+1 is the channel for 9.10 support.
[03:57] <InitHello> dave1231: the next release of ubuntu, basically
[03:58] <night1ne> okay. thank you much
[03:58] <mrmowgli> Does anyone have an installer that works on a HP Pavilion Zv6000 ?  Preferably linux?
[03:58] <mrmowgli> I'm out of cd's :/
[03:58] <night1ne> how do I change rooms?
[03:58] <MenZa> mrmowgli: What installer?
[03:58] <chalcedony> MenZa, didn't yahoo quit supporting pidgin ?
[03:58] <MenZa> night1ne: /join #channelname
[03:58] <mrmowgli> MenZa: whatcha got?
[03:58] <MenZa> !yahoo | chalcedony
[03:58] <IdleOne> night1ne: /join #channel-name
[03:58] <cody_> scunizi: Okay, ill open it, where would i find the motherboard? I am very bad at whats what in it
[03:58] <mrmowgli> Kubuntu: fail
[03:58] <MenZa> mrmowgli: What installer? For what?
[03:58] <mrmowgli> Ubuntu: fail
[03:58] <afeijo> I enabled the apache module rewrite, but it isnt working yet, what else can I do?
[03:59] <dave1231> Menza thx
[03:59] <mrmowgli> Ububtu light net install: fail
[03:59] <IdleOne> mrmowgli: how are the failing?
[03:59] <Balsaq> do this nightline..../join <type in the channel you want> and hit enter
[03:59] <MenZa> mrmowgli: This channel is solely for Ubuntu support. For any other queries, please find a different channel.
[03:59] <InitHello> ok, here's a bit of background: I'm trying to help my girlfriend (she's about 250 miles away) set up skype on jaunty, but I can't hear her. She's using the onboard audio on an asus M2N-X motherboard. Are there any known issues with that board, or are we missing something obvious?
[03:59] <vox> MenZa: he's just complaining
[03:59] <chalcedony> MenZa, umm how do i do that?
[04:00] <mrmowgli> MenZa: is there another channel to get Ubuntu installers to work?
[04:00] <MenZa> chalcedony: Good question. Check your Yahoo settings.
[04:00] <vigo> !skype | InitHello
[04:00] <night1ne> I though I did..
[04:00] <MenZa> mrmowgli: This is the channel you'd want. You'll just need to be a bit more verbose than that. Saying "It fails" won't help us get anywhere.
[04:00] <InitHello> vigo: it's installed, I just can't hear her.
[04:00] <chalcedony> MenZa, umm where? (i don't know much about it)
[04:00] <assoguerozen_sx> how i can use joy2key?
[04:00] <mrmowgli> IdleOne: they end up hanging because of the ati video card
[04:00] <MenZa> chalcedony: Neither do I. I don't use Pidgin.
[04:00] <naknomik1> how do I find out which package provides ncurses.h?
[04:00] <assoguerozen_sx> im searching for some howto
[04:01] <MenZa> !find ncurses.h | naknomik1
[04:01] <chalcedony> MenZa, i was using it until i got a new computer, but it wasn't complicated
[04:01] <vigo> InitHello: Okay, see that link ubottu brought up? That may have the solution for your end.
[04:01] <InitHello> vigo: ok, sorry, there's some useful info there
[04:01] <InitHello> vigo: we'll try that
[04:01] <vigo> InitHello: Okee dokee
[04:02] <naknomik1> !find libncurses.so
[04:02] <InitHello> vigo: I've had a few glasses of wine, so I reacted at the "to install skype" part ;)
[04:03] <vigo> InitHello: Is all good, that ubottu link most likely has the solution for both ends.
[04:03] <InitHello> vigo: yeah, it's more than likely she has the wrong audio daemon thingie selected for her mic
[04:04] <mrmowgli> okydoke, currently the ubuntu light netinstall (cli fb=false) occasionally gets past the hardware detection and hangs downloading the software repo information for us.archive.ubuntu.org
[04:04] <Madcamper>  anyone know if there is a way to run ubuntu, and windows xp simultaneously off the same computer without making it virtual? Display XP on one monitor, and ubuntu on an external?
[04:04] <vigo> InitHello: I do not use Skype, but that sounds like it could be an error, or some mismatch setting on both ends that needs attention, is all in the documentation.
[04:05] <mrmowgli> other times it hangs on the hardware detection, and the graphical installer doesn't work.  Once it hung on the advanced command line installer after I configured the keyboard
[04:05] <InitHello> vigo: darn these 500 different audio systems, all because alsa and esd and whatever else developers refuse to cooperate!
[04:06] <IdleOne> InitHello: have her try the test call with the skype bot. if that works then she is good to go and you know it is on your end. if the test call fails well then you trouble shoot
[04:06] <vigo> InitHello: I will say again, I do not use Skype, I have my reasons, and they are all mine, MINE! :-)
[04:06] <InitHello> IdleOne: yeah, her skype worked from a windows box, but not from her jaunty box
[04:06] <night1ne> Okay, I've got a website, but I don't know how it is supposed to be done because everything there is for the command prompt. Could someone maybe help me out?
[04:06] <vox> Madcamper: essentially, no it can't be done
[04:07] <InitHello> vigo: that is of course your prerogative
[04:07] <Madcamper> bah
[04:07] <vigo> InitHello: Exactly, and that is what Freedom is about.
[04:07] <IdleOne> InitHello: the skype website has some sound work arounds but I would read the link ubottu sent you first and see
[04:08] <night1ne> http://www.thinkcomputers.org/index.php?x=articles&id=117
[04:08] <InitHello> vigo: why, I could (if I was a fool) even say that I like debian, and nobody is allowed to shoot me, because freedom!
[04:08] <IdleOne> InitHello: I had an issue with sound when not using a headset. getting a headset fixed the problem right away
[04:09] <vigo> good point.
[04:09] <ynk> is it imperative for me to reboot after editing the ".bashrc" file??
[04:09] <IdleOne> ynk: no
[04:09] <alteregoa> a categoric imperative?
[04:10] <lstarnes> ynk: run source .bashrc
[04:10] <IdleOne> ynk: open a new terminal and changes should take effect
[04:10] <IdleOne> alteregoa: I have a couple of categoric imperatives I could say to you. I suggest we ignore each other and save ourselves the head ache
[04:11] <Scutum> Hi
[04:11] <Scutum> Im trying to install vista for my gf's netbook
[04:11] <IdleOne> ##windows Scutum
[04:12] <relapse> Hi
[04:12] <relapse> Is there a way to NOT install gnome?
[04:12] <Scutum> so I was thinking  on installing a small linux OS
[04:12] <adam__> hello all
[04:12] <relapse> like use the alternative cd
[04:12] <Scutum> and then vista
[04:12] <IdleOne> Scutum: in that case first windows then linux
[04:12] <vox> relapse: you dont want a graphical interface?
[04:12] <relapse> no
[04:12] <Scutum> because it wont recognize it on the external hd
[04:12] <lstarnes> relapse: use a version of ubuntu other than the ubuntu desktop cd (the kubuntu and xubuntu desktop cds are examples)
[04:12] <relapse> i just want x and fluxbox
[04:13] <Scutum> IdleOne, Im not able to install windows
[04:13] <lstarnes> relapse: you can use the alternate cd for that
[04:13] <Jordan_U> !minimal | relapse
[04:13] <IdleOne> Scutum: again see ##windows for windows help
[04:13] <Scutum> from the external disk, it wont recognize it
[04:13] <jamiewan> Scutum: something about windoze wiping the boot loader when u install over linux
[04:13] <alteregoa> scrotum: yeah i did that like that
[04:13] <Scutum> So is it possible to install windows on a linux machine?
[04:14] <Scutum> alteregoa, go fuck yourself
[04:14] <night1ne> o.O
[04:14] <scunizi> !oh
[04:14] <IdleOne> Scutum: watch the language please
[04:14] <scunizi> !ohmy
[04:14] <night1ne> Such language in ubuntu even..
[04:14] <cody_> What was that about a lowport thing from DCC?
[04:15] <Guest18736> any body can help me with acpi on my laptop?
[04:15] <cody_> !ask
[04:15] <Scutum> well remmid that to alteregoa first then
[04:15] <nilson> fstock: ?
[04:15] <jamiewan> Scutum: windoze first then linux or it wont work, so ive been told
[04:15] <Scutum> I see
[04:15] <cody_> !ask | Guest18736
[04:15] <n2diy> where would I put a file I want to be available over my lan? I have a "Public" directory, but the capital P doesn't look right, and I can't access the directory over the lan?
[04:15] <vox> alteregoa: if you dont have anything useful or constructive to add, leave.
[04:15] <eradicus> i'm having a problem booting hardisks with 48bit LBA because my bios doesn't support it, are there tricks?
[04:16] <scunizi> Scutum: jamiewan is correct.. however you can do it the other way ..it's just a major pain to reinstall grub if you've never done it.
[04:16] <scunizi> worse when you have multiple drives
[04:16] <Scutum> I am planning on deleting linux afterwards
[04:16] <Guest18736> wow, seems this channel is pretty busy, never been here.
[04:16] <cody_> Will Skyway Internet work with ubuntu? My family is switching over to that soon.
[04:16] <Scutum> is not for me.. is for my gf
[04:16] <scunizi> Guest18736: welcome
[04:16] <IdleOne> Scutum: so why install it at all?
[04:16] <Synaps> not rilly as long as you can get to grub you can edit menu.lst
[04:17] <Synaps> use Slax cd
[04:17] <Scutum> because otherwise it wont recognize it as an OS when I try booting
[04:17] <n2diy> Guest18736: actually, a little slow now. Is that your zipcode in your nick?
[04:17] <cabaro_> scutum: windows installation writes over the bootloader, and you would have to reinstall GRUB. so its easier to install windows first and then ubuntu.
[04:17] <Scutum> cabaro_, Im planning on deleting linux afterwards
[04:17] <Guest18736> no, i am testing the crunchbang  distro and this is the one by default
[04:18] <cody_> Lets say... I were to upgrade my BIOS to a whole new card (So i can use a dedicated graphics card and the like) Would i have to reinstall ubuntu?
[04:18] <scunizi> Guest18736: /nick <your choice> to change your nick
[04:18] <Guest18736> well, by the way, i am not a chatting type, i don't use it that much
[04:18] <Guest18736> ok
[04:18] <Jordan_U> cody_: No
[04:18] <cabaro_> scutum: then you might like wubi install. install windows first then wubi, also easy to remove.
[04:18] <scunizi> cody_: probably not..
[04:18] <cabaro_> !wubi | scutum
[04:19] <Scutum> cabaro_, u mean wubi first?
[04:19] <Guest18736> by the way, is there a better way of checking out the battery on an ubuntu laptop?
[04:20] <cody_> scunizi: Okay Thanks. Also to Jordan_U
[04:20] <Scutum> cabaro_, you are not understanding, I need to install windows in a netbook, so trough USB, the dumb netbook wont recognized the external HD as an OS
[04:20] <Scutum> but if I plug it into my laptop it does
[04:20] <cabaro_> scutum, no windows first, wubi does not need its own partition, it creates an image file inside windows partition and adds boot up choises. easy to remove also and no need to reinstall the boosector after removal.
[04:20] <IdleOne> Scutum: you are having a problem installing windows correct, install linux, then install windows ( since you plan on deleting linux anyway ) no worries about grub getting over written and then you can use whatever windows uses to delete/format the linux partition
[04:20] <deww> what's with these scums with the dcc send attempts
[04:20] <vox> Scutum: that's a restriction of the laptop itself
[04:21] <Satzo> deww they want to send their love.
[04:21] <basix> hi everyone, can someone please confirm whether karmic beta works as good as it says here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-5/Karmic
[04:21] <Flannel> deww: Just ignore them
[04:21] <deww> must be the ubuntu love :P
[04:21] <Satzo> basix, wrong channel...
[04:21] <Flannel> basix: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic questions, thanks
[04:21] <Scutum> yes, my advice dont mess with ACER, they are terrible
[04:21] <Scutum> IdleOne, yes
[04:21] <basix> Flannel, thanks
[04:21] <cabaro_> scutum: whats the problem with windows installation?
[04:22] <andre> never installed that ever...
[04:22] <Scutum> it doesnt recognize it when I try booting from the external HD
[04:22] <torrancew> if my wireless keyboard and mouse were partially failing, what log could i find info under, and/or how could i coax some info to be logged?
[04:22] <cabaro_> scutum: private chat, if you need help with that..
[04:22] <akav> I've got a netbook that started as eeebuntu, then I just did a distro upgrade to Jaunty Jacalope. I'm seeing a couple of strange things now.
[04:22] <ynk> adding "export PATH=${PATH}:/blahblahblah" is the right way to add environmental paths, right? i'm confused... well, i mean adding that line to ".bashrc"
[04:22] <Scutum> so, I should use Unetbootin?
[04:22] <akav> I'm wondering if I don't have a mutant hybrid of the two.
[04:22] <equinox_> nite
[04:22] <Scutum> cabaro_, thanks
[04:23] <basix> Flannel, do u know if there is a separate channel for Mactel Ubuntu ??
[04:23] <Scutum> and a small version of linux such as Xubuntu?
[04:23] <Scutum> Xubuntu is the smallest right?
[04:23] <cabaro_> scutum: i'm going to work, but ill be available later on today
[04:23] <Scutum> ok
[04:23] <Flannel> basix: #ubuntu-mactel has three people in it! :)
[04:23] <Satzo> heck no
[04:23] <andre> who else use crunchbang?
[04:23] <Flannel> andre: Wrong channel
[04:23] <Satzo> LOAF is the smallest linux I know of
[04:24] <Madcamper> anyone here use wubi?
[04:24] <scunizi> Scutum: smallest ubuntu release.. DSL is much smaller.. never heard of LOAF
[04:24] <torrancew> andre: off topic, but i do use it as well
[04:24] <Satzo> LOAF  Linux on a Floppy
[04:24] <scunizi> ah
[04:24] <Scutum> what is the smallest ubuntu I can use?
[04:24] <scunizi> xubuntu
[04:24] <Scutum> yeah, but I trust Ubuntu
[04:24] <Scutum> I see
[04:24] <Scutum> yeah Xubuntu is the answer I believe
[04:24] <scunizi> or server whith no gui
[04:24] <andre> hey, they are almost the same , all these distros and ubuntu, if you do some reconfig
[04:24] <akav> On a standard Jaunty Jacalope install, does Ubuntu show boot messages as text (before X), or does it display a graphical loading screen.
[04:24] <Madcamper> anyone heard of Wubi?
[04:25] <Satzo> andre i want to try crunchbang on an old laptop
[04:25] <leaf-sheep> Scutum: It is the same thing. It's just full of packages put together to form what it is.
[04:25] <torrancew> Scutum - crunchbang is based on ubuntu
[04:25] <panfist> i have a gnome panel set to auto-hide, but the animation when it hides is very slow and choppy. can i change this so there is no animated behavior...its either hidden or it just appears?
[04:25] <n2diy> Scutum: nothing wrong with Xubuntu, been using it for nearly a year.
[04:25] <andre> it's great for old ones
[04:25] <Satzo> ive read that
[04:25] <Scutum> haha
