[09:12] <mek8630> erry: if you are using 10.04 and are wanting to use wireless internet it should already have that preinstalled
[09:12] <Flannel> erry: Yeah, but you can sneakernet them over
[09:12] <HBSC> i'm trying to rule that out... it's pretty new and it stopped mounting in an android phone
[09:12] <erry> omg
[09:12] <erry> ok listen i'm going to say my problem once more
[09:12] <erry> This _came_ with a driver. I had to _blacklist_ the driver because the kernel panicked.
[09:12] <erry> I am now looking for adriver that doesn't have that problem
[09:12] <Beyecixramd> HBSC: you know flash drives have a write limit, right?
[09:13] <erry> That's simple
[09:13] <Beyecixramd> HBSC: if you have intensively used that drive, it could be fawkd up
[09:13] <Flannel> erry: And how will you know which drivers don't unless you try them?
[09:13] <erry> Flannel, i'm trying with ndiswrapper but they're not working
[09:13] <orlarmy> hello
[09:13] <nvclocknoob> hbsc does the drive contain data?
[09:13] <orlarmy> can anybody body plz welcome me here
[09:13] <orlarmy> i am new here
[09:14] <HBSC> Beyecixramd, it's pretty new... but it could be messed up regardless, i guess
[09:14] <cgethycx> erry cant you just plug you lan into your laptop and do all of the steps that everyone has recommended?
[09:14] <Beyecixramd> welcome, orlarmy
[09:14] <nvclocknoob> welcome!! xD
[09:14] <erry> ...
[09:14] <Beyecixramd> HBSC: weird
[09:14] <erry> cgethycx, i only have _wireless_
[09:14] <erry> i need _that_ to work
[09:14] <orlarmy> hello beye
[09:14] <Sheepherd> Beyecixramd: oh well so i guess removing default items like "resize icon" cant be removed that easily?
[09:14] <Jordan_U> erry: I just successfully followed my own instructions in a brand new virtual machine, that I did not ever allow to connect to the internet.
[09:14] <nvclocknoob> HBSC is the drive formatted? does it contain data?
[09:14] <Beyecixramd> erry: what the ... you only have wireless and no cable (ethernet) in your netbook?
[09:14] <erry> Beyecixramd, i dont have a cable
[09:14] <cgethycx> how do you only have wireless
[09:14] <HBSC>  invclocknoob was trying to mount the thing to run photorec for data recovery...
[09:14] <Beyecixramd> erry: how much did that piece of... netbook cost... 50 euros?!
[09:14] <erry> Beyecixramd, i have a hole for the cable but not the cable
[09:15] <erry> Beyecixramd, no no i have an adapter. but not the actual cable
[09:15] <nvclocknoob> but have you looked at it with a gpart or the like?
[09:15] <nvclocknoob> HSBC^^
[09:15] <Beyecixramd> erry: okay okay, i was scared
[09:15] <orlarmy> can somebody plz put me thru here?
[09:15] <HBSC> nvclocknoob, it should have data. fdisk doesn't recognise the partition table
[09:16] <erry> Beyecixramd, so can you please hel
[09:16] <Beyecixramd> erry: can't you... disconnect some device temporarily to get ethernet working?
[09:16] <nvclocknoob> i have one gig stick with two partitions..so each one detect separately as 512mb
[09:16] <erry> Beyecixramd, i do not have an ethernet cable
[09:16] <Beyecixramd> orlarmy: what do you need help for?
[09:16] <Beyecixramd> orlarmy: the IRC channel? Ubuntu itself?
[09:16] <cgethycx> run to wal mart and get one
[09:16] <nvclocknoob> if there is a partion useing all but 32mb then it will detect in linux as that free space..
[09:16] <Beyecixramd> orlarmy: some specific issue regarding Ubuntu...?
[09:16] <Beyecixramd> erry: :|
[09:17] <erry> Beyecixramd, still i need wirelss to work
[09:17] <HBSC> onvclocknoob, i just looked at it w/ gparted and it says "unrecognised disk label"
[09:17] <Cheery> why's the 64-bit version is not recommended for daily desktop?
[09:17] <Beyecixramd> erry: i think it's easier than that
[09:17] <Flannel> I'll remind everyone that when you're helping, you should be helpful.  "Go get one" isn't a proper solution.
[09:17] <erry> Beyecixramd, if ui use ethernet to download the packages
[09:17] <erry> will wireless work after?
[09:17] <Beyecixramd> erry: what chipset is your wireless card?
[09:17] <Beyecixramd> erry: obviously
[09:17] <Cheery> just a small question
[09:17] <Beyecixramd> erry: it should
[09:17] <erry> Beyecixramd, are you sure?
[09:17] <erry> Beyecixramd, well i bet 50 bucks it wont
[09:17] <nvclocknoob> it has been formatted, with issues or an un recognised label..these are usually msdos or fat32...
[09:17] <Jordan_U> erry: If you are using 64 bit Ubuntu then this is the one and only file you need: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-backports-modules-2.6.32/linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-21-generic_2.6.32-21.11_amd64.deb
[09:17] <Beyecixramd> erry: ethernet worked in all pcs i have tried, out of the box, in Linux
[09:17] <orlarmy> i can remember those day that i am using gloria on mint that there is a way i can right click on files to upload to internet
[09:18] <erry> Jordan_U, ok lemme try that
[09:18] <cgethycx> neither is /ect/fstab
[09:18] <Beyecixramd> erry: unlike Windows... by the way :)
[09:18] <centrodia> hola
[09:18] <orlarmy> but there is no way to do that on ubuntu 10.04
[09:18] <nvclocknoob> HSBC this can happen if its an unusal format..or was not safely removed in another os...
[09:18] <erry> Beyecixramd, wirelss worked in all windows pcs i tried
[09:18] <orlarmy> can you plz put me thru?
[09:18] <Beyecixramd> centrodia: no hables español, por favor, este canal es sólo de inglés
[09:18] <erry> you know im actually a linux fan
[09:18] <HBSC> nvclocknoob, so do you think the card is fried at this point?
[09:18] <erry> youre making me love microsoft now
[09:18] <Beyecixramd> orlarmy: sure, you need to install the mint tools
[09:18] <Guest31174> it is free software dont expect too much
[09:18] <erry> Guest31174, oh it's free?
[09:18] <orlarmy> how?
[09:18] <erry> Well my windows is free
[09:19] <Jordan_U> erry: Please don't make me regret helping you.
[09:19] <Beyecixramd> erry: :) go with Microsoft, my friend
[09:19] <nvclocknoob> no, you can reformat it but data will be lost.. if you can use it in the other os.. try to stop it or "safely remove" it before yanking it out or restarting..then boot linux
[09:19] <erry> Beyecixramd, but i like linus
[09:19] <Beyecixramd> erry: crack Office, and Windows, and everything else
[09:19] <Beyecixramd> erry: after all, it's free

[09:20] <Beyecixramd> mek8630: :|
[09:20] <erry> mek8630, don't laugh at my mental conditionn
[09:20] <HBSC> nvclocknoob, i only use linux... i don't know if it is recognised in other os
[09:20] <erry> mek8630, it's n ot funny ok
[09:20] <erry> mek8630, i take 20 pills a day
[09:20] <mek8630> hahahah
[09:20] <Beyecixramd> erry: okay okay... again
[09:20] <nvclocknoob> is the file system encrypted or lockable?
[09:21] <erry> Beyecixramd, he's laughing at my condition
[09:21] <Beyecixramd> erry: what chipset is your wireless card
[09:21] <Beyecixramd> erry: Atheros?
[09:21] <erry> Beyecixramd, realtek
[09:21] <nvclocknoob> so you've always used this device in liux?
[09:21] <Beyecixramd> erry: i'm not an op neither your mom, get back to the topic :|
[09:21] <removido> totem is with color balance off in lucid, how to enable? use nvidia driver and installed ubuntu perfect script
[09:21] <HBSC> nvclocknoob, i have used it in an android phone
[09:21] <nvclocknoob> ahh
[09:21] <HBSC> and it stopped mounting
[09:21] <erry> Beyecixramd, see i had adriver that crashed my kernel and im trying another
[09:22] <erry> Jordan_U, i installed your package
[09:22] <erry> Jordan_U, still no wireless
[09:22] <Beyecixramd> erry: do you know the specific model of your wireless card?
[09:22] <nvclocknoob> andriod has its own format and labeling not recognised by linux...its a diffrent kernal compilation..
[09:22] <Beyecixramd> erry: you'll likely need to reboot
[09:22] <erry> Beyecixramd, i did
[09:22] <erry> Beyecixramd, no im not sure which model itis..
[09:22] <mek8630> erry: I know this may seem a bit simple but...You are enabling the wireless after you install that package right?
[09:22] <Jordan_U> erry: Did you unblacklist the driver?
[09:22] <erry> Jordan_U, no if iu do that the kernel will die!
[09:22] <HBSC> nvclocknoob, do you know the filesystem that android uses?
[09:23] <cgethycx> everyone is trying to help a guy that does not want to be helped, and all I need help with is how to perm. mount a folder on another linux computer in my house. The link I was given was not for noobs.
[09:23] <nvclocknoob> it was probably this 32mbs used on the android and is now sceane as the only valid partition ..
[09:23] <Beyecixramd> erry: 5 minute result on scroogle http://rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net/wiki/Main_Page
[09:23] <Beyecixramd> minutes*
[09:23] <Perun> why does 'sudo -i locale' show locale of $user and not root?
[09:23] <Jordan_U> erry: That package has installed a newer version of the driver, which may have that bug fixed (it also may not, but it's worth testing)
[09:24] <nvclocknoob> it may be possible to use the remaining freespace and make another partition for ubuntu so you can use it for both the droid and ubunut
[09:24] <erry> Jordan_U, ok hoqw do  i reenable it after removing the blacklist line
[09:25] <HBSC> nvclocknoob, i'm trying to recover data from the partition that the phone used
[09:25] <nvclocknoob> and not lose info/data by formatting the whole thing only to repeat it the nxt time you attache it to the droid..
[09:25] <cgethycx> erry: have you tried a fresh install?
[09:25] <Jordan_U> erry: Either reboot or run "sudo modprobe module_name" in a terminal.
[09:25] <erry> Jordan_U, i tried the latterbut itdidnt help
[09:25] <erry> Jordan_U, ill t ry a reboot
[09:25] <erry> cgethycx, this _is_ afresh  install.

[09:28] <ikonia> erry: are you able to boot from a livecd and mount the disk to re-blacklist it
[09:29] <erry> ikonia, i can boot to my original installation if i disable wireless from the bios

[09:50] <erry> well
[09:50] <erry> using the original driver isnt an option
[09:50] <erry> i tried again and it crushed immediatelly

[10:07] <erry> :/
[10:07] <nvclocknoob> i've been pokeing around trying to setup powernowd and cpufreq and ran across them somewhere in the system dir i thought
[10:08] <nvclocknoob> is there a way i can setup a sap file for my video card?
[10:08] <nvclocknoob> swap^
[10:08] <ikonia> no
[10:08] <nvclocknoob> hogwash
[10:08] <ikonia> no
[10:08] <nvclocknoob> i bet i'd have to build it into it as a memory refrence.. =c
[10:08] <ikonia> nvclocknoob: if you think you know the answer - why are you asking if it can be done
[10:09] <ikonia> nvclocknoob: if you know you can do it - do it
[10:09] <nvclocknoob> =o
[10:09] <nvclocknoob> if i knew the memoey maps and how to get the card to use them and what file to modify i would have..??
[10:09] <ikonia> nvclocknoob: you can't do it
[10:09] <erry> Its not gonna work
[10:10] <nvclocknoob> lol "can't" is not the linux way of things..
[10:10] <erry> nvclocknoob, fine, fix wireless then
[10:10] <ikonia> nvclocknoob: yes it is, if you want to be able to do it, get hooked into the video drivers in the kernel and learn how to do it
[10:10] <ikonia> nvclocknoob: however it is currently not possible within an ubuntu installation
[10:11] <erry> ikonia, oh so we should fix  it ourselves
[10:11] <erry> fine
[10:11] <erry> Ill fix it myself
[10:11] <erry> ill make my own wireless driver
[10:11] <nvclocknoob> lol erry
[10:11] <FloodBot3> erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:11] <rww> stop
[10:11] <erry> What
[10:11] <ikonia> erry: that's not what I said - I wasn't talking to you
[10:11] <rww> pressing
[10:11] <rww> enter
[10:11] <rww> it's
[10:11] <rww> annoying
[10:11] <FloodBot3> rww: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:11] <erry> ikonia, well i need help, nobody can help me
[10:11] <erry> if i file a bug nobody will pay attention to it
[10:11] <ikonia> erry: I understnad you want help, hang in there and someone maybe along, filing a bug is also worth while if you think it's a legitimate error with the software
[10:12] <erry> ikonia, well im  not sure
[10:12] <erry> its probably something i did :(
[10:12] <erry> but other people have the problem too
[10:12] <nvclocknoob> dude most wireless adpaters are already supported...specify your model and vendor...
[10:12] <carneiro> erry: what is the problem ?
[10:12] <erry> carneiro, the driver for my card causes a kernel panic so i had to black list it
[10:12] <rww> erry: which card
[10:12] <erry> carneiro, im now trying to load the windows driver with ndiswrapper but to no avil
[10:13] <erry> rww, rtl8187se
[10:13] <carneiro> erry: this goes beyond me ... file a bug ... some1 will respond
[10:14] <erry> carneiro, fine
[10:14] <ikonia> erry: aplogies if I've missed it, but what actual card is it
[10:14] <ikonia> apologies I mean
[10:14] <erry> ikonia, rtl8187se
[10:14] <rww> ikonia: rtl8187se
[10:14] <erry> um
[10:14] <erry> when filing a bug, i should reproduce the crash right?
[10:14] <Worms> erry: You need not necessarily panic when the kernel panics. Please detail your problem in one line.
[10:14] <erry> lol
[10:14] <ikonia> erry: what note book is this in
[10:15] <erry> ikonia, toshiba tt110
[10:15] <nvclocknoob> erry when i first started using ubuntu my wusb54g linksys adpater wasnt supported...or was buggy..it turned out my router was using  wifi-g and ubuntu only covers wifi-b
[10:15] <erry> t110*
[10:15] <erry> nvclocknoob, i have an entirely different oproblem.
[10:15] <erry> nvclocknoob, the actual driver causes a kernel panic
[10:15] <nvclocknoob> ew
[10:15] <erry> tha'ts worse than ust 'not supported' :p
[10:15] <nvclocknoob> are there older drivers?
[10:15] <bullgard4> !google
[10:16] <erry> bullgard4, i already googled it
[10:16] <nvclocknoob> damn right^^
[10:16] <erry> .-.
[10:16] <nvclocknoob> also make sure you arent installing dev files or beta?? erry??
[10:16] <bullgard4> erry: I did not direct this message to you.
[10:16] <erry> nvclocknoob, i dont think so
[10:16] <erry> nvclocknoob, this is a stable release.
[10:17] <ikonia> erry: have a glance through this bug (it's not the same hardware) and see if the drive info shows any relvence to you https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/246141
[10:17] <erry> ikonia, kk
[10:17] <erry> ikonia, well the bug doesn't mention kernel panic.
[10:17] <nvclocknoob> lol stable only means bugs have not been submitted to the manufactureer..nvidia made a driver set a whileago that burned peoples cards out..it was originally fully declared stable
[10:17] <ikonia> erry: no but it is talking about the driver and it's issues
[10:18] <erry> ikonia, well so should i just reply to that
[10:18] <erry> :/
[10:18] <erry> i guess i cant open my own bug
[10:18] <erry> cause im a noob and nobody will take me seriously
[10:18] <ikonia> erry: you can open your own bug
[10:18] <ikonia> erry: people will take a bug that's well written without emotion, and good feedback and info very serious
[10:18] <nvclocknoob> yes
[10:18] <erry> ikonia, well can you read it for me before i submit it?
[10:19] <ikonia> erry: happy to
[10:19] <kokozedman> how to check the hardware clock's time?
[10:19] <rww> hwclock
[10:19] <erry> ikonia, ok let me try to write it
[10:19] <nvclocknoob> jesus the last time i looked at the clock it said 2 am it freakin 5am now =c
[10:20] <nvclocknoob> i guess i'll make a post about my issues
[10:20] <carneiro> nvclocknoob: the hardware and system clock have a drift :(
[10:20] <erry> ikonia, In what package did you find this bug?
[10:20] <kokozedman> rww: thanks man! ... do you how to update it? as I have just set UTC=no, and it is currently still pointing on UTC
[10:20] <Worms> erry: linux is nightmare when wireless is concerned.
[10:20] <erry> ikonia, should i put linux-wireless-backports or something?
[10:21] <ikonia> erry: where did you get the driver ?
[10:21] <rww> kokozedman: restart your computer and set the time properly in the BIOS
[10:21] <ikonia> erry: is it a stock one from within ubuntu ?
[10:21] <erry> ikonia, within ubuntu
[10:21] <nvclocknoob> carnerio...are you a us citizen..do you remeber when they advanced gps time 4 hours?
[10:21] <erry> and i also need to be fixing my bugs in my software atm
[10:21] <rww> kokozedman: you can set it through hwclock, but it's horribly confusing
[10:21] <erry> so i need to get done with this
[10:21] <ikonia> erry: just put it in the linux-wirless meta package
[10:21] <carneiro> nvclocknoob: not an US citizen
[10:21] <kokozedman> rww: :) ok ... i can't set the time in BIOS, because it's a remote server
[10:22] <erry> ikonia, linux-backports-modules-wireless?
[10:22] <rww> kokozedman: oh, fun. see "man hwclock", then, it has the relevant commands
[10:22] <ikonia> why back ports ? is the package from backports ?
[10:22] <nvclocknoob> well congress..advanced our clocks..probably to acount for axis shifts
[10:22] <carneiro> nvclocknoob: what is the issue ?
[10:22] <rww> !ot | nvclocknoob
[10:22] <nvclocknoob> gps sats are also military controlled and control the atomic clocks
[10:22] <nvclocknoob> ah yea
[10:22] <nvclocknoob> sorry
[10:22] <nvclocknoob> that is way off topic.. =c
[10:23] <kokozedman> rww: actually, the date shows synchronized time with an NTP server, but the hardware clock is mad... and it seems that CGI applications do not honor the fancy timezone stuffs
[10:23] <erry> ggreat
[10:23] <erry> now it didnt panic,.
[10:23] <nvclocknoob> woot
[10:23] <[Lemmy]> how do i tell aptitude not to update certain packages, but to keep the older version instead?

[10:23] <kokozedman> rww: i think what i need is the hwclock --systohc
[10:24] <erry> ikonia, it doesnt seem to  panic if you do it after boot
[10:24] <[Lemmy]> or, alternatively, i need an apt source for ubuntu that can do x264
[10:24] <[Lemmy]> in ffmpeg
[10:24] <nvclocknoob> and trying to share system memory with my nvidia 5500
[10:24] <erry> but the driver doesnt work anyway
[10:24] <ikonia> erry: is the driver loaded in the system now ?
[10:25] <erry> ikonia, i think i modprobbed it
[10:25] <ikonia> erry: can you check ?
[10:25] <erry> ikonia, how?
[10:25] <ikonia> erry: lsmod
[10:25] <erry> k 1 sec
[10:25] <dotnet> gelap
[10:25] <kanzie> how can I get the size of a folder?
[10:25] <kanzie> in shell
[10:25] <erry> ikonia, no
[10:25] <unop> kanzie, du -sh your_dir/
[10:25] <dotnet> ora ngerti gelap banget coy
[10:25] <kanzie> unop thanks
[10:26] <carneiro> kanzie : try du -hc <foldername>
[10:26] <ikonia> erry: ok - so that explains a.) no wriless and b.) no panic
[10:26] <erry> ikonia, i modprobbed it.
[10:26] <erry> still no wireless or panic
[10:26] <zipper> hi my ubuntu freezes but my mouse can still move is this a bug?
[10:26] <ikonia> erry: check the modules loaded again
[10:26] <erry> ikonia, it's there
[10:26] <dotnet> goblok gue ora iso instal flash player li ubuntu 7.10
[10:26] <erry> ikonia, ...many times.
[10:26] <ikonia> erry: oh really,
[10:27] <erry> ikonia, yes i used grep
[10:27] <erry> ikonia, it didnt seem to automatically modprobe on boot
[10:27] <ikonia> very odd behaviour
[10:27] <erry> idk what happened it used to crash
[10:27] <erry> and once i modprobedAFTER booting andit crashed
[10:27] <erry> so
[10:27] <erry> idk
[10:27] <ikonia> is the module currentl blacklisted ?
[10:27] <erry> wait
[10:28] <erry> ikonia, i think i loaded the wrong driver
[10:28] <zipper> hi my ubuntu freezes but my mouse can still move is this a bug??????????????????????
[10:28] <ikonia> erry: ok - clean reboot, try again, try to be careful to make sure it's a valid test
[10:28] <erry> ikonia, yep
[10:28] <erry> ikonia, modprobed the right 1, got a panic
[10:29] <erry> ikonia, should i reboot anyway?
[10:29] <ikonia> erry: well, I'd just use that to log the bug
[10:29] <erry> use what?
[10:29] <ikonia> erry: it's clear that, that specific module on your system causes a kernel panic
[10:29] <erry> ok
[10:29] <ikonia> erry: makes sure you machine is not overclocked in any way, and log a bug stating that
[10:29] <erry> ikonia, but if i reboot it willprobably crash in boot
[10:30] <erry> and then i cant prove its the module that does it
[10:30] <ikonia> erry: sounds reasonable yes
[10:30] <nvclocknoob> zipper maybe?
[10:30] <ikonia> erry: you just proved it's the module
[10:30] <zipper> nvclocknoob, how do i fix it?
[10:30] <erry> oh
[10:30] <erry> ok
[10:30] <ikonia> erry: you probed it  - it crashed
[10:30] <erry> ok
[10:30] <nvclocknoob> well i've had similar things happen when my hd became dislodged or shorted..lost power..
[10:31] <sysdoc> Intel 10/100 card sometimes does not start on boot, anyone seen this??

[10:33] <ikonia> reading
[10:34] <ikonia> erry: ok, I'm going to re-word it just a little
[10:34] <erry> ikonia, ok
[10:34] <NeoSizer> nb
[10:34] <erry> ikonia, also 'buts' is a typo
[10:34] <erry> it's supposed to be 'bits'
[10:35] <westz> someone, randomly give me a package you use a lot and cant live without. im trying to find something to do
[10:36] <ikonia> erry: http://pastebin.com/z3L0DC2e clean it up a little with your exact hardware/software versions
[10:37] <Slart> westz: bash would fit that description for me =)
[10:37] <erry> ikonia, ok
[10:37] <erry> done that

[10:40] <kanzie> how can I turn this into a rm-comand instead? find ./ -type f -name "*.gz" -execdir gunzip -d {} \; I want to remove what find generates instead of gunzip it
[10:40] <nvclocknoob> i'm loggin outa this and testing o/c's in termolus
[10:40] <nvclocknoob> peace gys and thank you for all your help
[10:40] <nvclocknoob> guys and gals ^
[10:41] <pretender> ubuntu 10.04 getting an error unable to mount samba network shares also a message about also failed to retrieve share list but its intermittent
[10:41] <Slart> kanzie: replace "gunzip -d {}" with "rm {}"  . You might want some extra switches with that in case it wants confirmation for each delete
[10:41] <erry> is the rtl8187se driver in linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-21-generic ?
[10:41] <yoyoned> kanzie: look at the fine man page.  I am pretty sure find can do that by itself
[10:41] <Slart> kanzie: {} is the placeholder for the filename
[10:41] <kanzie> Slart: thanks
[10:41] <kanzie> slart: great, that is what I needed to know
[10:42] <Slart> kanzie: hmm.. come to think of it.. I'm not sure what the -execdir  switch does.. I think I've always used just -exec.. check the man page to make sure it's not doing something weird
[10:43] <kanzie> Slart: its just that it runs from the subdir where the found file is
[10:44] <unop> Slart, -execdir  is like -exec except it changes directory to where the file resides -- needed for the gunzip as he'd like to extract files where they are not in the current dir.
[10:44] <arand> Does 10.04 automtically setup an ext2 /boot if installing "guided" LVM? Why? Is there some things grub2 still wont be able to handle on an LVM? Encryption?
[10:44] <Slart> kanzie, unop: ah.. every day you learn something new =) Thanks!
[10:44] <kanzie> unop: but what does the trailing \ do, newline?
[10:45] <taisa> is it possible to optimize the filesystem during the boot fsck with "fsck -D"? "/fsckoptions" file ?
[10:45] <unop> kanzie, you mean \;  ??  that's to terminate the -exec or -execdir command
[10:45] <uLinux> How can I make a file read-only using terminal?
[10:45] <dewd> hi guys. I have a question
[10:45] <unop> kanzie, because you can have multiple -execs or other find predicates afterwards ... and you need to tell find where one -exec terminates and another begins.
[10:46] <dewd> is there a univeral path to folders like../User/Download or Desktop. it varies depending on your language
[10:46] <kanzie> unop: thanks
[10:46] <dewd> *universal path
[10:46] <nikin> uLinux, chmod a-w filename
[10:48] <delaman1> email server setup problem here,,,,, I can connect to my imap server, even send emails from the imap to people, but when i try to sent an email to the email server via something like<EMAIL_ADDRESS> i get an error message  http://pastebin.com/Ws6y2zDA
[10:49] <ikonia> delaman1: it doesn't know about the user sales on that server
[10:50] <delaman1> ikonia: but its wierd because i can connect to it via imap
[10:50] <ikonia> delaman1: imap is nothing to do with smtp
[10:50] <dewd> I mean something like ~/ instead of /home/user/
[10:50] <rww> delaman1: edit /etc/aliases to tell it which user you want sales@ to go to, then run "sudo newaliases"
[10:53] <linis> dewd, /home/dewd/Dowloads
[10:53] <geirha> dewd: http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
[10:53] <delaman1> rww: do i add something like
[10:53] <delaman1> sales<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[10:53] <delaman1> ?
[10:53] <dewd> no. I mean a universal path, which is independent of the language you are using
[10:54] <sysdoc> Ack where is the log file viewer in 11.2 gnome?
[10:54] <ikonia> geirha: what do you want us to do with that ?
[10:54] <ikonia> geirha: oops, never mind, just seen
[10:55] <dewd> lets say I'v done a little script. and it uses the path ~/Downloads/myfile.smthn
[10:56] <geirha> dewd: See the url I gave you. It explains how to get variables for those in scripts.
[10:56] <dewd> oops. didnt see
[10:56] <dewd> thx I will look at it
[10:58] <geirha> dewd: Or actually, that combined with this: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs
[10:59] <dewd> ow..  it needs an aditional tool
[10:59] <dewd> my script is a simple one which should run off a live cd mostly
[11:01] <geirha> dewd: No, you just source that user-dirs.dirs file if it exists, otherwise you default to the non-translated ~/Desktop etc
[11:02] <stanman246_> here's the deal. I want to make a usb stick which i can use safely in an internet cafe
[11:03] <stanman246_> either start a livecd from a windows/linux machine, then run nomachine nx client to connect safely to my pc
[11:03] <willwork4foo> bah. I am having an annoying time with registered bugzilla bug 621435 - it is causing me headaches :(
[11:03] <stanman246_> or boot from usb (which i think is not possible anywhere) then run the nxclient to connect to my pc
[11:03] <willwork4foo> anyone else's laptop randomly deciding that it has a flat battery?
[11:03] <stanman246_> is this possible?
[11:05] <dewd> thx I will give it a try. rebooting now
[11:08] <Sm3gal> my wireless is not working on my desktop
[11:08] <Sm3gal> it is not hardware based
[11:09] <Sm3gal> cus i tryed a new card
[11:09] <Sm3gal> i ran a ddos on a test server to check security
[11:09] <Ghostly> odd, i just managed to install Visualboy advance but for some reason the sound is really choppy, the game seems to run fine. anyone got any idea what's causing it?
[11:09] <Sm3gal> could that have backfired on me?
[11:10] <effefe> what sound drivers do u use?
[11:10] <ikonia> Sm3gal: reboot your machine and it should come back up if you've stopped dos'ing yourself
[11:10] <Sm3gal> i have
[11:10] <Sm3gal> its still down
[11:10] <bnv> hello
[11:11] <effefe> hi
[11:11] <DASPRiD> ikonia, he not only dos'ed but ddos'ed ;)
[11:11] <bnv> Are there any Coldplay fans? :)
[11:11] <Sm3gal> i'm pretty sure i didn't ddos myself
[11:11] <Ghostly> umm, default i guess i am quite new to ubuntu -.-
[11:11] <ikonia> bnv: this is ubuntu support, try #ubuntu-offtopic for chatter
[11:11] <DASPRiD> Sm3gal, or well, i don't think you really mean ddos but dos, do you?
[11:12] <bnv> ikepanhc, ok, sorry :)
[11:12] <Sm3gal> i used ettercap
[11:12] <nikin> Does Gnome support the icon size settings in gtk themes?
[11:12] <Sm3gal> and ran a dos attack
[11:12] <hotfloppy> does anyone know where's the plugins directory for pidgin 2.7 ?
[11:12] <Sm3gal> i was told that was ddos
[11:12] <bnv> Are they using joysticks on ubuntu?
[11:13] <ikonia> bnv: you can use joysticks, sure
[11:13] <Sm3gal> isn't ddos http and udp flooding @the same time?
[11:13] <deamon_> #ubunyu-ru
[11:13] <nikin> i use a gamepad (logitech) with ZSNES
[11:13] <ikonia> Sm3gal: don't worry about the dos - just reboot your desktop and make sure you've stopped the attack
[11:13] <Sm3gal> i have
[11:14] <Sm3gal> sevral times
[11:14] <ikonia> Sm3gal: ok - reboot your machine and that will prove it's not the dos attack
[11:14] <Sm3gal> net is still down
[11:14] <salil> hotfloppy: /usr/lib/pidgin
[11:14] <ikonia> Sm3gal: ok - so it's not the dos
[11:14] <blekos> could you tell me an alternative for cryptoload?
[11:15] <Sm3gal> Flare183 couldn't figure out how to make it work eather
[11:15] <hotfloppy> thanks salil
[11:15] <Sm3gal> i tryed some cmd he gave me
[11:15] <Sm3gal> so i thought it was software based
[11:15] <Sm3gal> *hardware
[11:15] <Sm3gal> so i took the wireless chip out of another laptop
[11:16] <taisa> once again, could somebody tell me, how I can run "fsck -D" during boot time, please? Adding Parameters to "/fsckoptions"? Thanks
[11:16] <Sm3gal> i'm sooo tempted to drop off the computer at Flare's house and say dont give it back till it works
[11:17] <Sm3gal> but then he might get into the pics of my g/f
[11:17] <jake__> Articles and books I have read on linux talk about multiple users on the system - is this referring to the system being a server and multiple users logging into it? or just more than one user being logged in to the ONE physical machine?
[11:18] <stanman246_> can i make a livecd and add the nxclient from nomachine.com?
[11:18] <airtonix> what happened to the gui for byzanz that i see in this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Tdo4GQzyb8
[11:18] <nikin> Sm3gal, encrypt them or back them up.
[11:18] <airtonix> !info byzanz
[11:19] <Sm3gal> they are encripted
[11:19] <pkkm> What is the user's password after using `passwd -d`?
[11:19] <Sm3gal> same as my master pw tho
[11:19] <Sm3gal> it should be your root pw shouldn't it?
[11:20] <nikin> Sm3gal, just create an other user on the system with admin privilegs... so it can be used to repair the system without giving out your password
[11:20] <airtonix> re: byzanz gui :  its in the 'add to panel' widget of gnome-panel
[11:21] <Sm3gal> lol he knows my pw tho
[11:21] <Sm3gal> from him fixing it b4
[11:21] <nikin> Sm3gal, then change it...
[11:22] <Sm3gal> think i should try booting from .iso?
[11:22] <pkkm> I want to add an user with no password, but I can't login ("Login incorrect"). Anyone knows why?
[11:23]  * Sm3gal has no clue
[11:23] <nikin> Sm3gal, giving out your password for people who you dont trust to see your gf is hmm... lets say was a bad idea. Yes. AAIK you can mount your encrypted volume from there, and change the password.
[11:23] <Sm3gal> ok
[11:23] <Sm3gal> lets discuss my wireless problum
[11:23] <Sm3gal> lol
[11:24] <Sm3gal> think booting form .iso might make it work?
[11:24] <Sm3gal> nope
[11:24] <Sm3gal> nothing
[11:24] <nikin> Sm3gal, what is the issue itself? what did you already try?
[11:25] <Sm3gal> some cmd
[11:25] <Sm3gal> and another wireless card
[11:25] <Sm3gal> but my wireless still don't work
[11:25] <nikin> Sm3gal, its a dualbooting system?
[11:25] <Sm3gal> i have recently ran a ddos
[11:25] <Sm3gal> no
[11:26] <jkalex05> everything windows can do linux can do better!
[11:26] <rionline> nonsense
[11:26] <nikin> Sm3gal,  what are the symtoms? what does fail... Running a ddos is childish .
[11:26] <iceroot> jkalex05: this is ubuntu-support not windows-bashing
[11:26] <rionline> what about games? ;)
[11:27] <jkalex05> i dont play games
[11:27] <indus> how is a lexmark printer in ubuntu work
[11:28] <erUSUL> indus: linuxprinting.org
[11:28] <indus> i hear lexmark now comes with linux logo on the box
[11:28] <Sm3gal> well i wanted to punch the webmaster of this kkk site i found but i couldn't so i ddosed
[11:28] <iceroot> indus: yes, working fine so far
[11:28] <iceroot> !ot | Sm3gal
[11:29] <indus> iceroot, you recently bought a lexmark?
[11:29] <Sm3gal> O.o new card was loose
[11:29] <jkalex05> how do i change the terminal colors
[11:29] <jkalex05> like background and text
[11:30] <rww> Edit > Profile Preferences > Colors
[11:30] <nikin> Sm3gal, lets turn back to your wireless problem... You can not change my view about malicious behaviour anyways... so how far is the wireless woking? lspci does show the card?
[11:30] <pkkm> How to login to an account with no password?
[11:30] <Sm3gal> booting ...
[11:31] <Sm3gal> pkkm, login as root maybe?
[11:31] <ikonia> no no no
[11:31] <|ns|nR8> pkkm, put a password on it
[11:31] <ikonia> do not login as root
[11:31] <pkkm> I mean, login to an account that hasn't got password set.
[11:31] <ikonia> pkkm: go to system -> preferences -> login window
[11:31] <ikonia> pkkm: from that you can chose to auto login without a password
[11:32] <ikonia> pkkm: sorry - system -> administration -> login window
[11:32] <Sm3gal> pkkm ru locked out?
[11:33] <Sm3gal> still nothing
[11:33] <nikin> Sm3gal, what nothing?
[11:33] <Sm3gal> no wireless
[11:33] <Matr|x> i need a room to ask them about bash scripting and programming ?>
[11:34] <Sm3gal> i tryed lspci | grep network
[11:34] <ikonia> Matr|x: #bash is the channel
[11:34] <Sm3gal> and ifconfig -a
[11:34] <nikin> Matr|x,  http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ is a good point to start before
[11:34] <Matr|x> thx soooooo much guys
[11:35] <nikin> Sm3gal, dont grep it
[11:35] <Sm3gal> ok
[11:35] <Sm3gal> grep didn't do anything
[11:35] <Sm3gal> those were the cmds flare had me try
[11:36] <nikin> Sm3gal, he was right... but grepping is restrictiog the output... a manual check can not hurt
[11:36] <Sm3gal> ok
[11:36] <Sm3gal> well what do u suggest?
[11:36] <erUSUL> nikin: #bash "gods" have a very low opinion of abs ;)
[11:37] <bricky> hey
[11:37] <nikin> erUSUL, it helped me in some cases very well ;)  Gods have a low opinion on any food but manna to :D
[11:37] <xshyamx> Sm3gal: try grepping for Ethernet instead
[11:38] <bricky> is it possible to OC on linux? at all
[11:38] <Sm3gal> cmd?
[11:38] <nikin> Sm3gal,  lspci , and then look for something that looks as a wireless card
[11:38] <erUSUL> nikin: its infobot says « The infamous "Advanced" Bash Scripting Guide should be avoided unless you know how to filter out the junk.  It will teach you to write bugs, not scripts. In that light, the BashGuide was written:  http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide »
[11:38] <Sm3gal> nothing
[11:39] <Sm3gal> its not reading my card
[11:39] <Sm3gal> i kno the card works
[11:39] <bricky> n
[11:39] <nikin> erUSUL, i will save that link... and look at it.
[11:39] <pkkm> I can't login to user that has no password. Paste from the console: http://pastebin.com/VQ678gbm . What's wrong?
[11:39]  * Sm3gal faceplams repeatly
[11:40] <nikin> Sm3gal, did you check the BIOS settings?
[11:40] <Sm3gal> idk how
[11:41] <rww> pkkm: "no password" isn't the same as "blank password".
[11:41] <nikin> Sm3gal, lets go throught the basics: do you have a wieless switch/led on your laptop?
[11:41] <Sm3gal> yes
[11:41] <Sm3gal> it is orange
[11:41] <Sm3gal> its usally blue
[11:41] <aeon-ltd> whats these hobbits.
[11:41] <Sm3gal> it just started not working
[11:42] <xshyamx> pkkm: if you want to login without password via ssh you have to sync keys
[11:42] <nikin> Sm3gal, do you have a switch on the laptop for wireless?
[11:42] <pkkm> rww, I just pressed enter whan ssh asked for password.
[11:42] <rww> pkkm: oh, wait, --delete makes it blank. Hrm. PermitEmptyPasswords is probably set to "no" in sshd
[11:42] <Sm3gal> !ot | aeon-ltd
[11:43] <xshyamx> you have to generate a keypair using ssh-keygen
[11:43] <rww> pkkm: you'd want to add           PermitEmptyPasswords "yes"       to /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[11:43] <Sm3gal> yes
[11:43] <rww> pkkm: or use a key as xshyamx is mentioning
[11:43] <Sm3gal> its on
[11:43] <Sm3gal> first thing i checked
[11:43] <nikin> Sm3gal, check in the bios
[11:43] <bricky> is it possible to overclock amd cpus over ubuntu?
[11:44] <Sm3gal> how
[11:44] <xshyamx> and when it asks for passphrase enter nothing and then copy the id_rsa.pub entry to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
[11:44]  * erUSUL amazed at the hoops people will jump just to make their systems *IN*secure
[11:44] <rww> erUSUL: indeed
[11:44] <Sm3gal> lol i'm a newb
[11:44] <Sm3gal> i can't check bios
[11:44] <Sm3gal> i'm locked out
[11:45] <xshyamx> all to avoid typing a few keys :P
[11:45] <Sm3gal> dont kno password
[11:45] <pkkm> By the way I want no password because I am creating guest accounts for everyone at linux show.
[11:45] <Sm3gal> then make the password linux
[11:45] <Sm3gal> and have a sigb
[11:45] <Sm3gal> sign
[11:45] <Sm3gal> "Password is linux"
[11:46] <ikonia> pkkm: did you try the auto login option I showed you ?
[11:47] <rww> ikonia: look at the pastebin, they're using ssh, not a login manager
[11:47] <pkkm> ikonia, no, because I wanted no password whan connected via ssh.
[11:48] <pkkm> when*
[11:48] <rww> pkkm: PermitEmptyPasswords "yes" , as I mentioned
[11:48] <ikonia> pkkm: then use ssh keys
[11:48] <rww> the default is "no". hence it not working.
[11:48] <pkkm> ok
[11:49] <erUSUL> pkkm: better use a passphrase-less pub key ...
[11:49] <Somelauw> I want to install a printer, but ubuntu can't find my cd-rom. Does that mean I need to login as a superuser?
[11:49] <xshyamx> rww: is the PermitEmptyPasswords default to yes?
[11:49] <rww> xshyamx: I just said it defaults to no :\
[11:51] <frxstrem> I have a jailbroken iPod touch which won't start up normally, and I am trying to connect it to my Ubuntu machine to back up all the data (using idevicebackup), but Ubuntu won't connect to it via USB; does anyone know if this is possible in the iPod's recovery mode?
[11:51] <xshyamx> rww: sorry, I checked in a centos m/c which had PermitEmptyPasswords commented out but, it permits empty passwords for syncing data as part of a cloud
[11:51] <Beelsebob> is it possible to tell what architecture a .o file is for?
[11:51] <xshyamx> rww: is it distro specific?
[11:52] <Beelsebob> I want to check that my compiler is actually producing 64 bit code
[11:52] <Somelauw> I want to install a printer, but ubuntu can't find my cd-rom. Does that mean I need to login as a superuser? (This is a serious question)
[11:52] <xshyamx> Somelauw: what do you mean by "ubuntu can't find my cd-rom"?
[11:53] <xshyamx> Somelauw: you've inserted the cd and it does not  mount?
[11:53] <Somelauw> Yes
[11:53] <erUSUL> Somelauw: you shouldn't need the cdrom to install a printer
[11:53] <erUSUL> Somelauw: maybe it ask for the ubuntu cd-rom becouse you still have iot enabled as source ?
[11:54] <JonathanEllis> My kitten jumped on the keyboard and now I have a window fullscreen on one of my monitors and pressing F11 has no effect. How can I get back the normal display?
[11:54] <erUSUL> Somelauw: System>Preferences>Software Sources. disable the cdrom in the firs tab
[11:54] <rww> xshyamx: no idea
[11:55] <Somelauw> erUSUL, I don't see software sources
[11:55] <Somelauw> I am using gnome.
[11:55] <erUSUL> Somelauw: sorry is in Administration
[11:55] <martinv_> when I want to open a PDF file in midnight commander, I type evince mypdf.pdf, but then it just opens a new midnight commander inside the same window - no evince
[11:55] <erUSUL> Somelauw: System>Admin ... >Software Sources. disable the cdrom in the firs tab
[11:55] <Beelsebob> I can't figure out for the life of me why I'm getting missing symbols here...
[11:55] <Beelsebob> http://paste.lisp.org/display/111669
[11:56] <Beelsebob> it seems to be linking against a library that contains the symbols that are missing
[11:56] <Somelauw> Okay, should I first disconnect from the internet, before I disable it?
[11:57] <Taev> hey I tried to run GParted, and i got this box saying "unable to grab mouse" something about an error or malicious software
[11:57] <Taev> whats that all about?
[11:57] <Beyecixramd> Taev: try to run it again, and don't touch the mouse
[11:57] <Taev> oh i did and it worked
[11:57] <Beyecixramd> Taev: don't open any menus, or anything after launching it
[11:57] <Taev> Im just hesitant to put my password in
[11:58] <IdleOne> Taev: where did you get gparted from?
[11:58] <Taev> Synaptic Package Manager I think, either that or It came with the install
[11:59] <Taev> I didn't download it 3rd party, thats for sure.
[11:59] <Beyecixramd> Taev: it needs your password for security reasons... if it didn't... any random software could format your drive
[11:59] <IdleOne> Taev: should be safe
[11:59] <IdleOne> Taev: backups!
[12:01] <dries_> hello ubuntu channel
[12:02] <IdleOne> When doing apt-cache policy package. Shows if package is installed or not and version, it also shows a repository, is that the repository it was downloaded from or is that info contained in the package ( meaning the repo can be faked)?
[12:02] <IdleOne> !hi | dries_
[12:02] <Somelauw> erUSUL, It was already disabled by default.
[12:03] <willwork4foo> hi! I'm fairly sure my netbook has a built-in mic, but I can't seem to get it to work? Any ideas? The sound works fine on the speakers / headphone jack, but the mic isn't recording anything
[12:03] <willwork4foo> I'm running Ubuntu Netbook Edition - lucid
[12:03] <Somelauw> erUSUL, It showed something like: "Allow to install from ubuntu-cd".
[12:04] <dries_> Does anyone know how to patch up wine? I found the patch, but I'm not sure what to do with the wall of text the patch file consists of. I'm running wine 1.2 RC4 on Ubuntu 9.10
[12:04] <solkig> willwork4foo: go to: system - preferences sound and check the input settings
[12:04] <Somelauw> I want to install a printer. You said I don't need to install from cd-rom, but why not?
[12:04] <solkig> willwork4foo: sorry that wasn't for you
[12:04] <solkig> dries_: go to: system - preferences sound and check the input settings
[12:04] <sec-r1z> guys i have just installed ubuntu 10.04 "clean install dual boot with slackware" but it hangs for a seconds
[12:04] <erUSUL> Somelauw: so how come ubuntu ask for a cdrom when installing a printer? how are you installing it? System>Admin...>Printers
[12:04] <sec-r1z> any advice ?
[12:04] <willwork4foo> solkig, it might have helped anyway - testing :)
[12:04] <peturi> The volume:up\down\mute buttons won't work at the login menu. This means my laptop will wake up my wife every time i boot it early in the morning or in the night. The workaround i use is to change to another tty and use aumix to mute the speaker before logging in. IS there a way i can get the onboard audio buttons to work before logging into the system?
[12:05] <sec-r1z> anybody there ?
[12:05] <ne7work> can i use skype for ubuntu on xubuntu?
[12:05] <iceman_32> yes
[12:05] <peturi> sec-r1z: yes
[12:05] <p1l0t> !hi
[12:06] <solkig> willwork4foo: eh, that was for you, i'm a bit confused to day apparently
[12:06] <willwork4foo> OK - I enabled the input device (it wasn't enabled before), but now for some reason the volume is really low even though I've turned up the input volume to full?
[12:06] <p1l0t> I'm five minutes lates sorry
[12:06] <Somelauw> erUSUL: The printer came bundled with a cd-rom. On windows I could just insert the cd-rom and it installed. When I insert the cd on ubuntu, it doesn't mount.
[12:06] <willwork4foo> sounds really faint using the sound recorder
[12:06] <dries_> solkig: are you sure you're talking to me?
[12:06] <sec-r1z> 10.04 hangs for a seconds
[12:07] <Somelauw> I will try doing it from sys/admin/configure_printers
[12:07] <Taev> sigh
[12:07] <solkig> willwork4foo: hm, can you choose another mic connector? for me the default is number one but it's number 2 that works
[12:07] <Taev> my ex fiancee's facebook account is still active
[12:07] <Beyecixramd> sec-r1z: are you running the CD, or is it installed?
[12:07] <bulletxt> hi, will hal be totally deprecated in next 10.10 release?
[12:07] <Taev> I just got a birthday reminder for her
[12:07] <IdleOne> !ot | Taev
[12:07] <Taev> oops
[12:07] <erUSUL> Somelauw: you do not need that cdrom in ubuntu. just plug the printer and go to System>Admin...>Printers
[12:07] <Taev> sorry wrong channel
[12:07] <willwork4foo> there's only one thing  I can choose in the sound input tab
[12:07] <sec-r1z> installed "dual boot with slackware"
[12:07] <Taev> my apologizes.
[12:07] <solkig> dries__: no, i was mistaken. sorry!
[12:07] <dries__> np :)
[12:08] <sec-r1z> it hangs for a seconds then it works again
[12:08] <ALBASL> hi there
[12:08] <erUSUL> Somelauw: Server>New>Printer
[12:08] <dries__> you wouldn't happen to know how to patch up wine would you solkig :p
[12:08] <Somelauw> Can you use cd-roms in general with ubuntu or does every piece of software need to be installed by using some tool?
[12:08] <ALBASL> i have problem with installing the ubuntu 10.04
[12:09] <ALBASL> can someone help
[12:09] <sec-r1z> any help with my problem ?
[12:09] <solkig> dries__: no not really, is pretty new to this...
[12:09] <dries__> albasl what kind of problems?
[12:09] <Somelauw> Thanks, I will try later.
[12:09] <solkig> dries__: but i think there's a wine channel, maybe you can find help there
[12:09] <sec-r1z> any ubuntu developer there ?
[12:10] <DarkNemesis> sec-r1z, yes we all are
[12:10] <DarkNemesis> including you
[12:10] <DarkNemesis> :)
[12:10] <jpds> DarkNemesis: Not necessarily.
[12:10] <DarkNemesis> how can i help?
[12:10] <DarkNemesis> is it a bug?
[12:10] <willwork4foo> nope. it would seem that Ubuntu doesn't work at all with the mic on this netbook
[12:11] <sec-r1z> DarkNemesis ubuntu 10.04 hangs for seconds
[12:11] <solkig> dries__: this seems to be the channel i was thinking about. #winehq
[12:11] <willwork4foo> Kinda annoying, since that means  I will now need to buy a bluetooth dongle and use my bluetooth headset if I want to do a webcam chat with my family
[12:11] <DarkNemesis> sec-r1z, when booting?
[12:11] <sec-r1z> DarkNemesis no
[12:12] <sec-r1z> after i installed
[12:12] <sec-r1z> it is a clean install "dual boot with Slackware"
[12:12] <stanman246> can i make a liveusb containing freenx client?
[12:12] <EDinNY> I need a /etc/resolv.conf that does not match the dhclient info.  How can I make sure that "search mydomain" is always in that file?
[12:12] <willwork4foo> why on earth dual-boot two different linux systems?
[12:13] <maco> willwork4foo: developer needing to test on both?
[12:13] <sec-r1z> willwork4foo cuz i need both
[12:13] <JTFirefly> hi #ubuntu! i've got a problem with audio on a laptop using 10.04. i've got external speakers attached, but the sound's always coming from both the internal and external speakers. how do i activate the internal speakers? or, better yet, is there a way to configure ubuntu so that the internal speakers will automatically be muted if external speakers are plugged in?
[12:13] <maco> willwork4foo: sysadmin in training wanting to use ubuntu and study red hat?
[12:13] <Taev> so whats the story with "Play on Linux"
[12:13] <sec-r1z> guys is my problem is a common or what ?
[12:13] <willwork4foo> fair enough :)
[12:14] <willwork4foo> I will stand corrected :)
[12:14] <dries__> lol
[12:14] <willwork4foo> stanman246, take a look at pendrivelinux
[12:14] <stanman246> willwork4foo: thanks i will
[12:15] <DarkNemesis> sec-r1z, ok well how long have you waited? what shows when waiting?
[12:16] <p1l0t> What is all this Operation timed out quits? Are we spliting?
[12:16] <zamba> where's the mount for /dev/pts defined?
[12:16] <zamba> how does that happen?
[12:16] <sec-r1z> DarkNemesis for seconds
[12:17] <sec-r1z> DarkNemesis and the sound still works while hanging
[12:18] <DarkNemesis> sec-r1z, what is the screen showing?
[12:19] <sec-r1z> it shows every thing but doesn't respond
[12:19] <sec-r1z> and when i used the testable kernel  "<IP_ADDRESS>" it shew the same issue
[12:19] <EDinNY> Can anyone help with dhclient.conf?
[12:20] <blekos> hello, I am looking smg like VNC but to be able to store a list of the clients (I'm working for a company with 30pc which I need to access remotely)
[12:21] <rabby> hi
[12:22] <rabby> my network printer is only shown in the printer options if it is turned on when booting.
[12:23] <anirvana> My wvdial isn't working.Please help :(
[12:23] <DarkNemesis> sec-r1z, you can file a bug  against that
[12:23] <anirvana> I am getting error "Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory" when trying command sudo wvdial
[12:23] <DarkNemesis> sec-r1z, the kernal i mean
[12:24] <anirvana> I can't get my mobile broadband working due to this
[12:24] <drizzt_> is there a console text editor with working Shift key
[12:25] <aeon-ltd> drizzt_: what do you mean? vim and nano work fine
[12:25] <minimec> anirvana: You want a 3G connection or a simple analog modem connection? 3G would be handled by the network-manager, not wvdial.
[12:25] <sec-r1z> DarkNemesis http://pastebin.com/QX51ZrEg  that is my top command
[12:26] <drizzt_> i want select text as usual, with shift
[12:26] <sec-r1z> and i think the problem is not from the kernel
[12:27] <aeon-ltd> drizzt_: funny, i've actually never had to do that i just use yy to copy a line in vim]
[12:27] <drizzt_> i dont need whole line, just a certain text
[12:28] <aeon-ltd> drizzt_: just found out you can use visual mode in vim, select what you need and use y
[12:29] <DarkNemesis> sec-r1z,sudo kill 1398
[12:29] <DarkNemesis> sec-r1z,sudo kill 1407
[12:30] <DarkNemesis> sec-r1z,sudo kill 1509
[12:31] <unop> DarkNemesis, kill can take multiple args.  kill $pid1 $pid2 $pid3 ...
[12:31] <DarkNemesis> then drop into a shell by pressing ctrl alt f4
[12:31] <unop> have to wonder why sec-r1z is running as root in the first place.
[12:31] <DarkNemesis> and update
[12:31] <DarkNemesis> then upgrade
[12:32] <DarkNemesis> you'll have to log in with your details
[12:32] <DarkNemesis> unop, :) course but i was not sure
[12:33] <blekos> could you tell me why in the terminal services the protocol VNC is grayed (cannot be chosen)
[12:34] <minimec> blekos: Is all the relevant software installed? Is the vnc daemon running?
[12:35] <blekos> hm, dont think so
[12:36] <clausen> Does anyone know if there is a way to know that my apt GPG keys haven't been tampered with?
[12:36] <blekos> how to i install it?
[12:37] <minimec> blekos: Start with reading this ... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=136137
[12:37] <blekos> thnx
[12:37] <minimec> blekos: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402
[12:38] <minimec> blekos: Ther are probably newer tutorials but this is shurely good for understanding...
[12:39] <drizzt_> anyone knows when 10.04.1 will be out?
[12:40] <sec-r1z> sorry guys
[12:40] <rww> drizzt_: July 29th, per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickReleaseSchedule
[12:40] <sec-r1z> killing pid results nothing
[12:40] <blekos> ok. Just one more question is the UFW enabled by default?
[12:40] <iceroot> rww: 10.04.1 not 10.10
[12:40] <rww> iceroot: I'm aware of that.
[12:40] <iceroot> rww: ah ok, the name of the link was strange
[12:41] <sec-r1z> using flux instead of genome results nothing too
[12:41] <rww> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule has it too, but why use a relevant link when a semi-relevant one will work just as well ;P
[12:43] <sec-r1z> guys got to restart my box
[12:44] <KettleCorn> I'm trying "sudo fdisk /dev/sg2" on an iSCSI mounted device, but nothing happens (I'm on Ubuntu Server 9.10) - I've waited several hours but it never says anything
[12:44] <KettleCorn> just tried to ctrl+c out of it, and it didn't seem to do anything (?)
[12:44] <rabby> anyone knows how to get my lan printer to be use-able in ubuntu - even if it is not active on startup of ubuntu?
[12:44] <lukus> hi - I dislike the way that the file browser won't toggle to a full text path in lucid -> is there anyway to get the old behaviour back?
[12:45] <rww> lukus: ctrl-l
[12:45] <carneiro> KettleCorn: better do fdisk -l first
[12:45] <minimec> lukus: I don't know if I unsersood that right. Try <ctrl>L in nautilus
[12:46] <KettleCorn> carneiro: if I type fdisk -l I get no output at all, should I add something as a parameter?
[12:46] <carneiro> KettleCorn: Check how much time it takes ...
[12:46] <lukus> rww,minimec - I'm taking the path that's displayed in a file-browser dialogue .. when saving a file for example
[12:46] <carneiro> KettleCorn: Just run fdisk -l and check for the detected disks ...
[12:46] <lukus> s/taking/talking
[12:47] <lukus> (about)
[12:47] <lukus> it used to be possible to toggle the graphical path list - so it appeared as a text path
[12:47] <lukus> which was great
[12:47] <KettleCorn> carneiro: I had to run it as sudo, I see now. well, it doesn't detect anything but my local drives
[12:47] <minderaser> I would like to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 but Update Manager doesn't show there is an upgrade available even though "Show new distribution releases" is set to "normal release". I've even set in to "Long-Term Releases Only" with no luck.
[12:47] <lukus> I have no idea why it's been changed
[12:48] <KettleCorn> carneiro: I'm guessing that means I haven't got my iSCSI things setup correctly
[12:48] <carneiro> KettleCorn: Either that .. or ur server is not able to reach the destination host
[12:48] <minimec> lukus: Still... I don't exactly see what you mean, sorry. I see no problem in the gnome saving dialog.
[12:49] <lukus> minimec, under 'browse for other folders' you have a path .. which is a series of sequential individual paths, represented by buttons ..
[12:49] <KettleCorn> carneiro: do you mean as in network connection, reach? they can ping each other. actually, the network iSCSI storage device lists the session from the ubuntu machine as active
[12:50] <amokpaule> Hello, im about to buy a new soundcard, is there any that has better linux support then another?
[12:50] <lukus> minimec, in previous versions - there was a toggle button on the far left .. which allow the user to switch to a full text-representation of the path
[12:50] <lukus> *allowed
[12:50] <minimec> lukus: So we had that quasi <ctrl>L option in the saving dialog. I didn't notice that ;)
[12:51] <lukus> minimec, yeah - it was great :) .. ctrl L doesn't seem to work there
[12:51] <airtonix> lukus, why not it does for me
[12:51] <lukus> I suppose someone decided it was confusing the fabled 'regular people'
[12:52] <lukus> airtonix, hmm.. maybe I'm doing something wrong
[12:52] <lukus> airtonix, are you using lucid (and are you trying to save a file)?
[12:52] <airtonix> lukus, also you can install a modified version of nautilus that provides the button you mention
[12:52] <bricky> how does modprobe work? I have 3 types of bcm (braodcom) dirvers installed none are working some are black listed
[12:52] <carneiro> KettleCorn: have u run iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p <disk_server>
[12:52] <carneiro> KettleCorn: ?
[12:53] <lukus> airtonix, ahh.. I might do that then - thanks
[12:53] <bricky> thank god for the tab or else id never know what Bcm drivers i had installed
[12:53] <minimec> lukus: Well it works in nautilus, but you just get an empty line with Tab completion for the file system. That is in dact not that, what you mean.
[12:53] <floating> is there a program that can handle skype, google voice chat, ventrilo and teamspeak all in one ?
[12:54] <iceroot> floating: no
[12:54] <lukus> minimec, okay - i'll do some investigating .. thx for the help
[12:54] <airtonix> lukus, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/toolbar-editor-now-in-nautilus.html
[12:54] <minimec> lukus: no problem
[12:54] <deostroll> I have a general query about routers - do they normally direct internet traffic to port 80?
[12:54] <KettleCorn> carneiro: yes I have, and it lists four targets in the portal, where the first is the relevant one
[12:55] <geekphreak> howdy all
[12:55] <geekphreak> Pici: long time :)
[12:55] <KettleCorn> carneiro: it says this: <IP_ADDRESS>:3260,1 iqn.1994-12.com.promise.e<IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>
[12:55] <floating> why is there no such program (that handles skype, ventrilo, teamspeak all in one..) ? wouldn't that be just as useful as programs that handles msn, jabber, aim, icq all in one ?
[12:55] <lukus> hey nice .. thx airtonix
[12:55] <lukus> btw. .just realised that nautilus now has an 'extra pane' (via f3)
[12:55] <carneiro> KettleCorn: that eliminates network from our problem ..
[12:55] <lukus> very useful
[12:55] <airtonix> lukus, yep, although you cant see it in that screen shot i just checked mine and it has an item "edit location" with the pencil icon
[12:56] <kanhiya> can anybody help me how to connect to interet using bluetooth in ubuntu 10.04 , i got option to connect to internet when i setup bluetooth connection with my phone but in network manager it shows my phone's mac address available but when i click it nothing happens and it shows disconneted again
[12:56] <lukus> airtonix, that's the feature I liked
[12:56] <KettleCorn> carneiro: I followed this guide here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-setup-debian-ubuntu-linux-iscsi-initiator/  the next command I inputted was:
[12:56] <lukus> simply because it allowed me to copy and past paths to the command line
[12:56] <jkalex05> i downloaded cursor selection and installed it
[12:56] <StaRetji> Folks, need help installing librtmp. where to find it, download it...THX!
[12:56] <jkalex05> how do i open it?
[12:56] <airtonix> floating, same reason why there isn't one program that does everything for you... it would be bloated and when one part of it died you wouldn't be able to use the other parts
[12:57] <KettleCorn> carneiro: iscsiadm --mode node --targetname iqn.1994-12.com.promise.e<IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS> --portal <IP_ADDRESS>:3260 --login
[12:57] <carneiro> KettleCorn: what does /var/log/messages file say ?
[12:57] <floating> but programs such as gaim is striving for success having msn, icq, jabber, aim
[12:57] <KettleCorn> carneiro: after that I restarted the service, and it tried to connect to all four targets but said it could only connect to the first. one sec for log message:
[12:58] <floating> and pidgin
[12:58] <carneiro> KettleCorn: put it on Pastebin.com
[12:58] <KettleCorn> carneiro: http://pastebin.com/5Eg3uE23
[12:59] <floating> in overall it is more bloated to have skype, ventrilo and teamspeak installed than to have one a bit more bloated single program
[13:00] <drizzt_> why there
[13:00] <drizzt_> 's so much rhetorics about sudo > root ?
[13:00] <carneiro> KettleCorn: seems alright to me .. can u paste the output of sudo fdisk -l ?
[13:00] <svip> Why does Ubuntu not detect when I put a CD in my disc drive?
[13:00] <jkalex05> guys im using gcursor i select a cursor
[13:00] <jkalex05> but it doesnt change it
[13:00] <jkalex05> any ideas why?
[13:00] <floating> meaning that if you use couple of them, having them run simulatenously, it most likely consumes more resources and is more clumsier to use
[13:00] <svip> Well, it did detect my CD a moment ago, but now it decided to say 'fuck it'.
[13:00] <KettleCorn> carneiro: http://pastebin.com/wfCGwLfs
[13:00] <liminal> i cant open open office spreadsheet
[13:00] <svip> It's an audio CD, for the record.
[13:01] <IdleOne> !language | svip
[13:01] <liminal> but i can open open office document writer
[13:01] <liminal> weird
[13:01] <svip> IdleOne: Yus yus, but well, it weirds me out that it was working a moment ago.
[13:01] <drizzt_> liminal, wahat's the error?
[13:02] <KettleCorn> carneiro: from what I can tell, it should be the device called "sg2", right? if I type "fdisk /dev/sg2" is says "unable to open device". this is without sudo. if I type with sudo, then it just sits there and does nothing
[13:02] <StaRetji> come on folks, need help installing librtmp, is someone familiar with it?
[13:02] <blue_anna> I'm sure this is a little off-topicish but --  I want to make a local backup of the page here for german from here: http://www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/# -- when I save that page from firefox, I get files 1 tier deep, but not the sound samples.
[13:03] <carneiro> KettleCorn: u r familiar with fdisk right ?
[13:03] <KettleCorn> carneiro: I'm afraid not that much, no :/
[13:03] <KettleCorn> carneiro: I assume it partitions drives, not sure what else
[13:04] <carneiro> KettleCorn: as soon as u do sudo fdisk /dev/sg2 type the n command and create a new partition
[13:04] <Taev> does Ubuntu 10.04 still support creating software RAID 0 at install?
[13:05] <star314> What was the command to show system messages in GNOME? In previous GNOME versions it was gnotify.
[13:05] <KettleCorn> carneiro: whats the n command? I tried just typing "n" and hitting enter, also "new"
[13:05] <Taev> Ive got my finger over the button to resize my partition, I just can't until I know that Ubuntu still supports creating a software RAID 0 at install
[13:06] <kanhiya> can anybody help me how to connect to interet using bluetooth in ubuntu 10.04 , i got option to connect to internet when i setup bluetooth connection with my phone but in network manager it shows my phone's mac address available but when i click it nothing happens and it shows disconneted again
[13:06] <carneiro> KettleCorn: n is new partitiion command ; are u getting any output for p command ?
[13:06] <erUSUL> !raid
[13:07] <KettleCorn> carneiro: nope, neither for p nor n command. is it safe to try the p command on another partition, just to rule out bad input from my end?
[13:07] <r1z1> 2.6.32-22-generic kernel sucks :-!
[13:07] <carneiro> KettleCorn: Yes P is just for printing ... fdisk wont "touch" your disk until u do Write (w command )
[13:08] <KettleCorn> ok one sec
[13:08] <Taev> why is Gparted telling me to boot to windows to run chkdsk
[13:08] <Taev> is there no linux equivalent?
[13:08] <carneiro> Taev: Is this NTFS partition ?
[13:09] <KettleCorn> carneiro: ok you know how after typing fdisk you get a prompt that says "Command (m for help):"? well, when I do fdisk on my sg2 device, that never happens, it just prints a newline and puts my cursor on the line below my previous input. almost as if it doesn't start fdisk
[13:09] <Taev> yeah
[13:09] <Taev> its an NTFS partition
[13:09] <Taev> when I try and resize it, it tells me there is at least 1 bad sector
[13:09] <Taev> and to boot to windows and run chkdsk
[13:10] <pure_hate> KettleCorn, fdisk -l will show the available devices fdisk can "see"
[13:10] <erUSUL> Taev: the closest thing is ntfsfix from ntfsprogs
[13:10] <Taev> well I just thought it was strange for a linux program to tell me to boot to windows
[13:10] <KettleCorn> pure_hate: ok I assume my iSCSI device can't be seen then
[13:10] <KettleCorn> carneiro: guesses are that my iSCSI device can't be seen, but I don't know to what extent
[13:12] <erUSUL> Taev: it makes sense; to fix a MS filesystem use MS tools. they know it better than anyone.
[13:12] <kanhiya> how to report a bug to ubuntu developers
[13:12] <StaRetji> !librtmp
[13:12] <Taev> i just hope that Ubuntu 10.04's install CD has kept the simplicity for installing a software RAID 0
[13:12] <erUSUL> !bugs | kanhiya
[13:13] <carneiro> KettleCorn: try parted /dev/sg1
[13:13] <StaRetji> so, how should one install librtmp? I need this library in order to watch rtmp streams
[13:13] <erUSUL> Taev: why would anyone use raid0 ? double the risk of data loss for what gain?
[13:13] <carneiro> KettleCorn: See if u can use the P command here ... need to eliminate the permisssion issue ...
[13:14] <Taev> ok, Gparted worked perfectly. It resized my NTFS partition
[13:14] <Taev> kudus
[13:14] <Taev> er kudos
[13:14] <floating> is there an alternative lightweight solution to connect tos kype
[13:14] <jellow> How can i stream/usb blue ray film to my PS3 on ubuntu?
[13:14] <erUSUL> floating: skype is a closed protocol
[13:14] <KettleCorn> carneiro: yes P works there and lists my regular drives. doing parted /dev/sg2 renders: Error: The device /dev/sg2 has zero length, and can't possibly store a file system or partition table.  Perhaps you
[13:14] <KettleCorn> selected the wrong device?
[13:15] <carneiro> KettleCorn: hmmmm ... host permission issue ?
[13:15] <bazhang> jellow, mediatomb?
[13:15] <shoonya> how to enable thunderbird support in tracker
[13:16] <floating> why is it that non computer-oriented ppl want to use skype
[13:16] <floating> it's a devil choice for me
[13:16] <floating> if I cannot use it from 3rd party lightweight program
[13:17] <erUSUL> it just work (tm) ?
[13:17] <KettleCorn> carneiro: what I don't understand is if you need to enter an initiator name somewhere for iscsi to work properly
[13:17] <floating> it is a resource hog
[13:17] <jellow> bazhang: Never used it can it stream .mkv files ?
[13:17] <floating> but I guess they are not considering that
[13:17] <bazhang> jellow, not sure, perhaps give it a try
[13:17] <KettleCorn> carneiro: the guide I followed doesn't include any point at which I can do so. our target/portal has a defined initiator name, which we had to supply when connecting with iSCSI via globalSAN in Mac OS X. without that, it would say connected but wouldn't show any drive
[13:18] <carneiro> have u checked the line node.session.auth.username = My_ISCSI_USR_NAME
[13:19] <carneiro> KettleCorn: is that allrite ?
[13:19] <KettleCorn> carneiro: no, I assumed that had to do with CHAP authentication..? maybe that is where I'm stupid
[13:20] <KettleCorn> carneiro: we're not using CHAP, and that part is under the CHAP section, which is what made me skip it. I wouldn't know what to enter there?
[13:21] <carneiro> KettleCorn: u need some authentication
[13:21] <sec-r1z> guys anybody knows how to install python-xml on ubuntu 10.04 ???
[13:21] <KettleCorn> carneiro: are you sure? it says that the default is None
[13:22] <erUSUL> sec-r1z: python-libxml2 ?
[13:22] <cba123> I'm trying to backup a few drives I have.  When I do "rsync -av /source /dest" it syncs files that are already there.  Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
[13:22] <carneiro> KettleCorn: not sure ... but i think authentication be mentioned  somewhere ..  or else everyone will write to yiur target ...
[13:22] <sec-r1z> erUSUL: and what about powerfuzzer ?
[13:22] <_zed> cba123, -r?
[13:23] <erUSUL> !find powerfuzzer
[13:23] <erUSUL> no idea sorry
[13:23] <sec-r1z> erUSUL: never mined
[13:23] <sec-r1z> ubottu: and what should i  do now ?
[13:23] <Fanshawe> Hey all. Having trouble with Evolution and Hotmail, anyone care hear me out?
[13:24] <KettleCorn> carneiro: yeah I think that's how it should work. Our Promise VessRAID 1730i unit doesn't, on the other hand. We tried activating CHAP in every way possible via the Web interface, and we could connect as usual without any authentication at all. Pretty crappy if you ask me!
[13:24] <carneiro> KettleCorn: try http://www.howtoforge.com/using-iscsi-on-ubuntu-9.04-initiator-and-target
[13:24] <carneiro> KettleCorn: what is ur ubuntu version ?
[13:24] <KettleCorn> carneiro: 9.10
[13:24] <carneiro> KettleCorn: shud work fine ..
[13:25] <sec-r1z> is there any way to get powerfuzzer on 10.04?
[13:25] <carneiro> KettleCorn: the link also helps u with fdisk ... ;)
[13:25] <KettleCorn> carneiro: ok thanks, I'll try using that guide instead and see where I end up
[13:25] <sefz> hello..
[13:25] <bazhang> sec-r1z, explain what it is
[13:26] <sefz> i have a theoretical question about PPTP VPN's ... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2372532/VPN_question.JPG ... it's that correct?
[13:26] <carneiro> KettleCorn: Skip the lvm part
[13:27] <cba123> _zed, It gave me an error after a few seconds, something about writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes to socket [sender] broken pipe (32), connection unexpectedly closed
[13:27] <cba123> Although I don't think that was due to your -r suggestion
[13:27] <sec-r1z> bazhang: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzz_testing
[13:27] <bazhang> sec-r1z, perhaps explain what it does
[13:28] <sec-r1z> gonna to use backtrack now
[13:29] <ndlovu> hi all. I used to use ghfaxviewer to read faxes I get through a fax-to-email system. it seems it's not in the repositories since karmic. any replacement I can use?
[13:29] <Fanshawe> Alright, putting it out there, I'm getting the error "please log in with USER first" whenever trying to get into my hotmail account via Evolution. Suggestions?
[13:30] <kryptyk> Morning all - I am running 4 displays using dual Nvidia GTS250's ( 2 monitors to each) with each display operating as a separate X server. I can enable Xinerama which will allow me to move windows between displays, however, this disables composite extensions along with a host of other useful things such as the double buffer module. Is there a way to allow the drag and drop between displays without using Xinerama?
[13:31] <Oli``> Is there any way to limit the mouse to a set of coordinates?
[13:32] <Black_Phantom> hello
[13:32] <Oli``> There is! xdotool + restrainmouse.sh
[13:32] <Black_Phantom> is there somekind of utility to analyze disk usage?
[13:33] <Black_Phantom> which folder is taking all the space and such
[13:33] <smooty-san> I just installed a desktop variant of ubuntu. but it seems that X/kdm or gdm doesn't want to cooperate. in fact, it starts the session and freezes directly - http://downloads.fayntic.com/kdm.log any clues? (ubuntu lucid)
[13:33] <Oli``> Black_Phantom: yeah look in accessories
[13:33] <Oli``> Black_Phantom: Disk Usage Analyzer
[13:33] <Black_Phantom> Oli``, oh there it is
[13:33] <Black_Phantom> i was looking for it thx
[13:33] <p1l0t> Black_Phantom have you tried the Disk Utility?
[13:34] <Black_Phantom> p1l0t, disk usage analyzer will do it, thanks
[13:35] <sulpheric> hi anybody here who has some knowledge on iscsi initiators?
[13:36] <Black_Phantom> damn it was a 1080p bluray lol
[13:36] <carneiro> sulpheric: what is the query ?
[13:37] <sulpheric> i get a nice ln: target `/lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d/' is not a directory: No such file or directory
[13:37] <sulpheric> some google diggin showed that this is a bug?
[13:37] <cheater99> my laptop's hdd is getting too small. can i just clone the partitions to a bigger one and ubuntu will run?
[13:37] <sulpheric> any work-arounds?
[13:37] <cheater99> how does that work?
[13:38] <markitoxs> i cant decide myself between proftpd or vsftpd, i need a tool to manage the ftp server REMOTELY through a gui or a web app. ANy suggestions?
[13:39] <smooty-san> I'd prefer proftpd
[13:40] <markitoxs> smooty-san, do you know if there is something like pureadmin, but for remote servers?
[13:40] <smooty-san> Anyway. Does anyone have a clue at my problem? Or am I just better of by downgrading my ubuntu release?
[13:40] <carneiro>  markitoxs :  there is webmin ofcourse
[13:41] <markitoxs> how you guys feel about webmin? YOu think its a good option?
[13:41] <carneiro> markitoxs: u get https access of the server .. n  if u need u can have cmd line as well
[13:41] <iceroot> markitoxs: no
[13:42] <iceroot> !webmin | markitoxs
[13:42] <smooty-san> Or alternative you can use the SQL mod and write your own panel
[13:42] <KettleCorn> markitoxs: I hear a lot of people bash it like crazy, but I'm not sure why. Ubuntu has stopped it from being in the official ppa I think, probably for some good reasons. We use it at work and my colleague loves it. We tried switching to Ebox and we couldn't do squat with it
[13:42] <iceroot> markitoxs: ssh is your friend, webmin your enemy
[13:42] <markitoxs> thats what im trying to tell my boss, lol
[13:42] <iceroot> markitoxs: feel free to quote me :)
[13:42] <drizzt_> why there's so much rhetorics in Ubuntu about sudo > root ?
[13:42] <KettleCorn> webmin is the battle I'll never understand and/or see the end of
[13:43] <KettleCorn> iceroot: why is it the enemy? what's so bad about it? I'm just trying to understand the negative rep it has
[13:43]  * patdk-wk hates webmin
[13:44] <Pici> !ot
[13:44] <iceroot> KettleCorn: e.g. you get conffiles like   httpd.conf.dpkg.webmin.old
[13:44] <rww> !webmin | KettleCorn
[13:44] <sulpheric> carneiro, any ideas on my question?
[13:44] <d3b> !ebox
[13:45] <markitoxs> oh my god..did i just start a flamewar? :D
[13:45] <KettleCorn> markitoxs: no don't worry, it's something that's constantly brewing I think :)
[13:46] <KettleCorn> iceroot: ok so what, it creates unnecessary files? or what are these .old files?
[13:46] <iceroot> KettleCorn: its messing up the confs and the divert-processes dpkg is using
[13:46] <KettleCorn> iceroot: ok, so what does that mean in the end? it's hard to uninstall? or can it actually break something?
[13:47] <drizzt_> I wanted to get ebox for my samba server, but it was 80MB, too much for a meager task
[13:47] <JabberWalkie> ok, so firefox keeps freezing up on me, but I am not sure why exactly. What can I do to narrow it down??
[13:47] <iceroot> KettleCorn: it can break your system
[13:47] <patdk-wk> when you upgrade the package
[13:47] <patdk-wk> it can get totally screwed
[13:47] <iceroot> KettleCorn: yes, specially when you update the system
[13:47] <KettleCorn> iceroot: what's the worst that can happen? I'm not using webmin myself but as I said my colleague loves it, and he's eager to install it on our VPS we just rented. I'm not sure it's a good idea to install it, but as long as he thinks it's great and I don't have any arguments against it..
[13:48] <KettleCorn> iceroot: ok, I bet a reply to that would be that we probably wont update the system, instead keeping it at 9.10
[13:48] <patdk-wk> no security patchs?
[13:48] <iceroot> KettleCorn: dont use webmin, because of messung up the conffiles
[13:49] <KettleCorn> iceroot: ok and conffiles are important system files that we really don't want to be messed up?
[13:50] <iceroot> KettleCorn: conffiles are a mechanismus dpkg is using
[13:51] <patdk-wk> my biggest issue with webmin, is it seems to be way too much of a hack
[13:51] <patdk-wk> and it seems like you do it their way or no way
[13:51] <iceroot> KettleCorn: have a look at divert and conffiles  in the debhelper manual
[13:51] <patdk-wk> so if you need something it doesn't understand, or want to do it alittle bit at all manually, you can't, or shouldn't
[13:52] <kanhiya> how to do remote desktop connection ?
[13:52] <drizzt_> kanhiya, as client or server?
[13:52] <KettleCorn> iceroot: but the worst that could happen though, as a result of webmin crapping out, is something like a systemwide update not working? can it potentially render a system non-bootable?
[13:53] <patdk-wk> kettlecorn, yes, it touchs conf files, it can make the system unusable
[13:53] <Sir_Confused> Does anyone know of a way to upgrade a release once it's gone beyond it's EOL? The EOL upgrade instructions aren't working.
[13:53] <patdk-wk> nothing like messing up nsswitch and /etc/shadow
[13:53] <KettleCorn> patdk-wk: ok thanks
[13:53] <erUSUL> Sir_Confused: how/where are they failing ? ( the instructions )
[13:53] <stupidxserver> xserver is being lame?? nvidia xserver setting doesnt detect the card...asks for x server to be restarted..on restart of system the card is detected as geforce4 onboard...and the intel onboard is detected as well...wth is going on? how do i fix this / restart xserver?
[13:53] <kanhiya> drizzt_: i am not a pro, i want to connect with my friend's pc remotely
[13:54] <markitoxs> kanhiya, have a look at teamviewer its easy, simple and neat
[13:54] <Sir_Confused> erUSUL: aptitude update is getting 404's from the repo's and do-release-upgrade is returning no update available
[13:54] <patdk-wk> do-release-upgrade -p
[13:54] <erUSUL> Sir_Confused: but for eoled releases you have to change the repositories by hand
[13:54] <erUSUL> !eol
[13:55] <erUSUL> Sir_Confused: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[13:55] <kanhiya> markitoxs: is it a software apckage?
[13:55] <Sir_Confused> erUSUL: I did, according to the instructions
[13:55] <stupidxserver> -.-
[13:55] <stupidxserver> how to restart xserver?
[13:55] <markitoxs> kanhiya, yes, your friend download it and give you and id number
[13:55] <KettleCorn> carneiro: I've managed to produce a new error: http://pastebin.com/uXbdGw9U
[13:55] <erUSUL> Sir_Confused: so the 404 come from old-releases.xxxx.xx repos ?
[13:55] <drizzt_> kanhiya, then you'll need RDP client
[13:56] <Sir_Confused> erUSUL: yes
[13:56] <Sir_Confused> shockingly enough though, using -p appears to be working
[13:56] <Sir_Confused> thanks patdk-wk
[13:56] <stupidxserver> ^^
[13:57] <kanhiya> drizzt_:  WHAT DO I MEAN WITH ID NI.
[13:57] <kanhiya> OH SORRY ID no.
[13:57] <loopidity> how to know if my ppp connection keeps a log or not, and does it have an AP
[13:57] <stupidxserver> dude..
[13:59] <stupidxserver> ugh i got my nvidia card oc'd but then somehow createing a swap drive..messed things up...xserver doesnt detect my card, or won't run properly
[13:59] <kanhiya> how to download teamviewer
[13:59]  * Dr_Willis wonders what teamviewer is.. and if its in the repos.
[14:00] <stupidxserver> lol
[14:00] <Sir_Confused> patdk-wk: what does the -p switch actually do?
[14:00] <stupidxserver> teamviewer is a remote con software
[14:00] <sulpheric> kanhiya, http://www.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux.deb
[14:00] <stupidxserver> it will probably need to be run from wine unless theres a linux version..
[14:00] <SmokeyD> does anybody know if it is possible to use the same TrueCrypt encrytped file container with different users, each having his/her own password, the way it is with Luks encrypted volumes?
[14:01] <stupidxserver> how to restart xserver?
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> sudo service gdm restart
[14:01] <SmokeyD> stupidxserver: /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[14:01] <erUSUL> stupidxserver: sudo restart gdm ?
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> dont use /etc/init.d/ any more
[14:02] <stupidxserver> gdm restart it is then
[14:03] <tracey> hi i was wondering if someone might be able to help me with increasing my virtual disk space on my wubi
[14:03] <drizzt_> kanhiya, try gnome-rdp or rdesktop
[14:03] <jkalex05> is it normal to see a second of lag when opening windows when multi tasking
[14:03] <drizzt_> jkalex05, no
[14:04] <Dr_Willis> Linux is always multi-tasking :)
[14:04] <kanhiya> drizzt_: after downloading and installing what to do?
[14:04] <jkalex05> what would cause the lag?
[14:04] <tracey> sorry i am new to irc and this stuff so do i wait for someone to message me or just ask away
[14:04] <drizzt_> kanhiya, run and connect
[14:04] <Sir_Confused> just ask
[14:04] <erUSUL> tracey: just ask
[14:05] <Dr_Willis> video drivers, too many effects, perhaps somthing IS running and taking up too much cpu. (doubtfull)
[14:05] <kanhiya> drizzt_: i will test that

[14:08] <Dr_Willis> dreamy__:  /etc/X11  IF it exists...
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> dreamy__:  not all systems need a xorg.conf these days

[14:09] <dreamy__> Dr_Willis, video card setting.. i was just going to paste alot... options into xorg
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> dreamy__:  no idea. it depends on the card and what settings you are refering to..
[14:10] <kanhiya> Jai_: does your mobile support serial modemor something like that
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> nvidia-config makes a xorg.conf for me when i use it
[14:11] <stupidxserver> pp8@pp8-desktop:~$ sudo nvdia-xconfig sudo: nvdia-xconfig: command not found pp8@pp8-desktop:~$ sudo gdm restart pp8@pp8-desktop:~$ sudo nvdia-xconfig sudo: nvdia-xconfig: command not found pp8@pp8-desktop:~$
[14:11] <stupidxserver> apparantly it was delayed
[14:11] <kanhiya> Jai_: when you plug usb what happens?
[14:11] <stupidxserver> it just tried to start 6 xservers?
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> stupidxserver:  that was not the command i said to use.
[14:11] <dreamy__> Dr_Willis,      http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ATI_Mobility_Radeon_7000       -- this ones...i cant find anyother way of doing it
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> stupidxserver:  'sudo service gdm restart'
[14:11] <sarthorks> I need to make Webster run on Lucid under wine. On the wine apps page for webster, it is mentioned that :"Properties: must enter Work Path for the Webster program directory.  A  blank Work Path will result in an error message during the loading  process, "The program mw.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs  to close." What does this mean? Where do i enter the work path, and what does it mean?
[14:11] <Jai_> I don't know abt that.. when i plug nothing happen its not detected
[14:12] <stupidxserver> that was the first command i tried sir
[14:12] <OerHeks> nvdia = nvidia
[14:12] <erUSUL> sarthorks: #winehq
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> stupidxserver:  i use that command dozens of times.. and it always works for me.
[14:12] <kanhiya> Jai_: it does only charging via usb:)
[14:13] <bastid_raZor> stupidxserver: you have a typo.. "nvidia" not "nvdia"
[14:13] <kanhiya> Jai_: try different mobile
[14:14] <dreamy_> Dr_Willis, if the xorg is not there what alternative ways do i got ?
[14:14] <carneiro> KettleCorn: hey was away ..
[14:14] <stupidxserver> pp8@pp8-desktop:~$ sudo service gdm restart [sudo] password for pp8:  sudo: service: command not found pp8@pp8-desktop:~$
[14:14] <tracey> #ubuntu-uk
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> dreamy_:  no idea with ati cards. theres an ati config tool i think
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> stupidxserver:  what version of ubuntu you using?
[14:15] <rileyp> i have no sound in youtube /using firefox on a karmic install
[14:15] <stupidxserver> 8.04..its now trying to start xserver repeatedly despite "not found"
[14:15] <rileyp> mythtv xbmc and vls all have working sound
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> stupidxserver:  thats why then..
[14:15] <indus> dreamy_, create an xorg with sudo aticonfig --initial
[14:15] <myk_robinson> I have a friend whose eyes arent as good as they used to be.. In firefox in Ubuntu, how can he increase the printed font size?
[14:15] <stupidxserver> it WAS fine!!
[14:15] <rileyp> ctrl +
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> stupidxserver:  Im not sure the service command is in  8.04
[14:16] <rileyp> myk_robinson,  ctrl+
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> stupidxserver:  you could do a 'sudo killall gdm'  perhaps. or the old 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart'
[14:16] <myk_robinson> rileyp: I know that will increase the onscreen fonts, but will it also increase for print?
[14:17] <rileyp> I have no idea on that one never printed anything in linux....
[14:17] <Dr_Willis> myk_robinson:  incrasing font size in FF does not affect the print out that ive ever seen
[14:18] <Jai_> k thanks for ur help..
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> guess he restarted GDM :)
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> actually dosent GDm have a 'restart X server' menu item? i think it used to
[14:19] <patdk-wk> I don't see one, currently
[14:19] <bastid_raZor> Dr_Willis: he could have ctrl alt backspace .. 8.04 still has that
[14:20]  * Dr_Willis avoides 8.04 :)
[14:20] <DASPRiD> you can always reactivated ctrl alt backspace :)
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> blasphmy! :)
[14:20] <alket> Does anyone achived to install tweetdeck in amd64 ?
[14:22] <rileyp> Dr_Willis, can you help me with no sound in youtube please
[14:23] <Sir_Confused> [14:22] * Dr_Willis has quit IRC (Quit: WeeChat 0.3.0)
[14:23] <rileyp> speakers are in tv connetced by hdmi
[14:23] <rileyp> bah!
[14:23] <rileyp> anyone
[14:25] <ovy> just wondering... why is gedit so slow... google chrome starts as fast or maybe even faster at times...
[14:25] <preston> Anyone know how I I can get away from entering a password every time I startup Umbutu 10.04? I don't need all this security.
[14:25] <ovy> i mean, it's just a text editor, right?
[14:26] <_Sih> preston: System > Administration > Login Screen you can ajust it.
[14:26] <alket> preston: System / Preferences / Login Screen untic the Ask for password
[14:27] <alket> sorry / Admin...
[14:27] <ovy> seriously, on the same configuration notepad (from within windows7) starts almost instantly while gedit takes about 3 sec to start... almost the speed at which google chrome (a web browser) starts
[14:27] <preston> TY
[14:28] <ovy> is there any way to make ubuntu start programs faster?
[14:28] <Sir_Confused> ovy: turn off all the shinies or upgrade your hardware
[14:28] <_Sih> ovy: You can use leafpad. It's a smaller and more simple text editor. It starts faster.
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> gedit starts in under 2 sec here.
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> if the gnome services have to be started first - it can take longer i imagine
[14:29] <ovy> leafpad, thanks, it realy start faster
[14:29] <Dr_Willis> second time i start gedit - it starts faster then i can count.
[14:29] <AdminX> Good Morning from Marietta, GA (USA)
[14:29] <ubydoobydo> so somehow i'm getting 100% cpu use with nothing but firefix...
[14:30] <ubydoobydo> and you say my system somehow became broken because i'm using 8.04.4lts?
[14:31] <ububuntu> holy people
[14:31] <rileyp> Dr_Willis, can you help me with no sound in youtube please
[14:31] <ovy> sir_confused leafpad starts faster than gedit (so thanks sih) and i presume i do have lots of shines activated like compiz and emerald
[14:31] <Dr_Willis> rileyp:  not really. you have sound in other apps?
[14:31] <rileyp> speakers are connected via hdmi
[14:31] <rileyp> yes sound in mythtv and vlc and xbmc
[14:31] <rileyp> its a karmic install
[14:32] <Dr_Willis> vlc can play 'flv' videos.. i wonder if it would have sound then...
[14:32] <Sir_Confused> ovy: you asked how to get stuff to start faster, I just named 2 ways to do it
[14:32] <ubydoobydo> yea..ok
[14:32] <rileyp> with myth o.23
[14:32] <indus> Dr_Willis, doesnt really work well
[14:32] <ovy> thank you, it helped
[14:33] <rileyp> virtually everything I download has sound
[14:33] <ububuntu> How can I network boot linux on my laptop (it has this feature in bios) using my linux desktop?
[14:34] <ubydoobydo> how does ubuntu become spontaneously curropted? and have 100% cpu use doing nothing?
[14:34] <Dr_Willis> ubydoobydo:  flash in the browser can crash and suck down the cpu
[14:34] <rileyp> any movie type app i try eg flv will play in firefox but no sound
[14:34] <patdk-wk> ubydoobydo, probably running firefox
[14:34] <ubydoobydo> i think you people are hacking me?
[14:34] <ubydoobydo> lol?
[14:35] <patdk-wk> ubydoobydo, how else would we fix it? :)
[14:35] <AdminX> ubydoobydo: Did you try the top command to see which processes were running?

[14:47] <andy12345> Hello all, I was wondering if someone could help me with my problem. I seem to be getting updates in the notification area, I'm guessing these updates are from the network as I often get ones from microsoft and google, I also get notifications when random people nearby broadcast stuff like about the world cup, How do i disable this?
[14:48] <DestinyAwaits> Dr_Willis, ping
[14:48] <Dr_Willis> random people? :)
[14:48] <Dr_Willis> andy12345:  you running any IM clients? or connected  to other social features?
[14:48] <andy12345> yeah i think they are just connected to the public network too

[14:49]  * DestinyAwaits Hi, Guys I wanted to know best book ever released on Linux System Administration.
[14:50] <user01> DestinyAwaits: I like the Linux Administrations Handbook
[14:50] <user01> Administrators
[14:50] <bullgard_> DestinyAwaits: There is no universal "best". Specifiy precisely what you want.
[14:50] <DestinyAwaits> no user01, i need the best book ever released
[14:51] <silv3r_m00n> >> CUPS is copyright 2007-2009 Apple Inc.  what is this ?
[14:51] <Dr_Willis> silv3r_m00n:  they own cups...
[14:51] <user01> DestinyAwaits: then it depends on what you need to determine "best"
[14:51] <Dr_Willis> silv3r_m00n:  they basically 'bought' it.
[14:51] <Dr_Willis> silv3r_m00n:  then claimed they invwented it
[14:51] <roberto_> how can I set gnash to let me save the file?
[14:51] <DingGGu> 북한 7:0 으로 게임종료.. 대참ㅍ
[14:52] <roberto_> !ko | DingGGu
[14:52] <DestinyAwaits> user01, I need the book which covers every topic in-depth.
[14:52] <user01> DestinyAwaits: I dont see a higher rated linux asdministration book on amazon.com Linux Administration Handbook (2nd Edition)
[14:52] <user01> DestinyAwaits: You would need separate books then
[14:52] <andy12345> Dr_Willis any idea what causes the notifications? I probably have to disable the notify app? or severe connections from the browser and empathy to it?
[14:53] <ubydoobydo> grr xserver is running, why isnt it detecting my nvidia card?
[14:53] <DestinyAwaits> tell me the name of books which covered topic in-depth
[14:53] <ubydoobydo> it syas its a gefore4 generic..but its gforce fx 5500...
[14:53] <bricky> cant update sofware, following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available
[14:54] <rileyp> Dr_Willis, I just dl a flash video and playe dit and it had sound
[14:54] <ubydoobydo> and i think it's using the intel onboard =c
[14:54] <bricky> sigh
[14:54] <user01> DestinyAwaits: I guess the best ever would be the man pages
[14:54] <DestinyAwaits> ;)
[14:54] <user01> DestinyAwaits: read through those
[14:55] <user01> DestinyAwaits: info pages can be good too
[14:55] <ubydoobydo> crap i can't enable restricted drivers either
[14:56] <DestinyAwaits> no i want a Linux Administration Book
[14:56] <DestinyAwaits> i knew man pages
[14:56] <Dr_Willis> andy12345:  irc clients, IM clients, other 'social' networks. You are using Ubuntu and not KDE right?
[14:56] <roberto_> DestinyAwaits, Linux System Administration is the old de facto howto for that
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> DestinyAwaits:  theres some avail for free online. Some are legally free even..
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> some of them can be a littel out dated.. but the core info is still good.
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> TLDP.org also has some good guides. but some can be VERY outdated
[14:59] <andy12345> Dr_Willis yes Ubuntu 10.04, how would i go about disabling it?
[15:00] <dreamy_> if i create a xorg.conf on /etc/X11 .. the system will use it ?

[15:01] <sburjan> hello. Could someone tell me the path where OO is installed ?
[15:02] <sburjan> I need it for using OO as a server
[15:03] <bastid_raZor> sburjan: openoffice??    /usr/bin/openoffice.org
[15:03] <sby> hai
[15:03] <sburjan> thanks.. I'll try that path to see if it works
[15:03] <EDinNY> can anyone help with dhclient.conf?
[15:03] <bastid_raZor> sburjan: using 'which command' will tell the path of command
[15:03] <derdon> hello
[15:03] <EDinNY> I want my resolv.conf to always have a "serch" line that I provide
[15:03] <derdon> are there themes especially for X-Chat?
[15:04] <derdon> it looks rather ugly here
[15:04] <netwav> Good morning everyone. :D
[15:05] <joshua_roberts> I am having issues with setting up monitors in ubuntu 9.10.   The system has two video cards, 2 heads each, 4 monitors total.  Each pair of monitors is a separate xserver.
[15:05] <bastid_raZor> EDinNY: prepend domain-name-servers <IP_ADDRESS>;   you can change the ip to anything you want.
[15:05] <andy12345> Dr_Willis, do i just go disable everything for browsers/"social" apps in gconf?
[15:05] <joshua_roberts> But when I maximize an application it covers both monitors, but i want it to only maximize on one monitor
[15:06] <joshua_roberts> How can I accomplish this?
[15:06] <EDinNY> bastid_raZor: done that, but I want the line "search mydomainname" in that file too
[15:06] <sburjan> bastid_raZor, : and tell me please, where is the user profile of OO ? I have no /home/user/.openoffice.org/3 hidden folder
[15:06] <raggi> hey folks
[15:07] <Danawar> Heyy ubuntu how would i run the bin file hldsupdatetool.bin as i am trying ./ and it is saying command not found
[15:07] <raggi> i'm really confused by /etc/profile and /etc/bash.bashrc on 10.x
[15:07] <raggi> /etc/profile isn't being sourced for non-interactive logins
[15:07] <EDinNY> sburjan, the first time you use OO.O it will create the dir
[15:07] <raggi> and /etc/bash.bashrc *is* being sourced for all logins
[15:07] <Danawar> ''-bash: ./: is a directory''
[15:07] <sburjan> thanks
[15:07] <EDinNY> sburjan: it will put it in your home dir
[15:07] <raggi> this seems contradictory to everything else, can anyone explain what's going on?
[15:08] <sburjan> the odd thing is that I have the directory, but ls -a doesnt list it
[15:09] <EDinNY> sburjan:  ls -a |grep open <- should list a few files which contain "open" including your oo.o dir
[15:09] <sburjan> yes :)
[15:09] <sburjan> sorry
[15:10] <EDinNY> gotta clear the clutter lol
[15:10] <raggi> anyone?
[15:10] <raggi> i mean, it'd be good to at least update bash(1) to reflect whatever it is that's been changed
[15:11] <h00k> raggi: Can you try to keep things all on one line, it's much easier to follow with all of the activity in here :)
[15:12] <shiftingcontrol> any body know good php irc channel?
[15:13] <Pici> shiftingcontrol: ##php
[15:13] <raggi> according to bash(1), /etc/profile should be sourced for all logins. in ubuntu 10.x /etc/bash.bashrc is sourced for all logins, even though it claims (in its header) to only be sourced for interactive logins
[15:13] <raggi> h00k: ^^^
[15:13] <joshua_roberts> can anyone help with monitor setup in Ubuntu 9.10
[15:13] <Pici> shiftingcontrol: You may need to be registered and identified to join, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration

[15:16] <paul15353> hey guys, would you recommend using ubuntu as a full time os or just as a part time os?
[15:16] <ubydoobydo> well freak me
[15:16] <lukus> paul15353, it depends what you need to use it for -> I do development work .. and some graphics .. I use it full time
[15:16] <shiftingcontrol> paul15353:depends on your usage.he problem is yu can't develop flash in linux
[15:17] <lukus> virtualisation works really well -> so you can always run windows from within ubuntu if necessary
[15:17] <paul15353> i would need for surfing the web, creating music and some video editing
[15:17] <EDinNY>  bastid_raZor:I have tried substitution and prepends, but either you can't do search that way or I was using the wrong keyword
[15:17] <lukus> you'll be fine
[15:17] <shiftingcontrol> paul15353:i m happy with ubuntu,i rarely use windows.(personal choice)
[15:17] <lukus> virtualbox is superb
[15:17] <lukus> wine is good for simple windows programs you need to use
[15:18] <shiftingcontrol> paul15353:linux has got all those features,yu can be safe,no need t worry
[15:18] <paul15353> would fruity loops(music editing software) be considered a simple windows program?

[15:20] <EDinNY> joshua_roberts: I have Applications->system_tools->Dolphin
[15:21] <bullgard_> joshua_roberts: Its name is MetaCity.
[15:21] <EDinNY> joshua_roberts: but I am not sure if Dolphin is installed by default.  I might have installed it after
[15:21] <paul15353> the one major problem im having with ubuntu is the way my internet(mozilla firefox) is laid out everything is really clausterphobic on it

[15:24] <joshua_roberts> I have nvidia graphics.  I have twin view on, but the desktop is stretched across both monitors
[15:24] <joshua_roberts> so when I maximize a window it fills both monitors
[15:24] <albertz> Gacha: im already in console. i looked up the xorg.conf but there arent any screen resolutions at all (i guess it automatically detects them). what is the proper way to disallow just anything >=1600x1200 ?
[15:24] <joshua_roberts> I have nvidia graphics.  I have twin view on, but the desktop is stretched across both monitors so when I maximize a window it fills both monitors
[15:24] <joshua_roberts> ok there on one line...  sorry bout that
[15:25] <joshua_roberts> this super huge chat window is hard to get used to.
[15:25] <Oli```> joshua_roberts: that happens to me sometimes (usually after a game crashes). I find that just restarting gdm works for me
[15:25] <joshua_roberts> I have tried that, no luck.
[15:25] <Oli```> joshua_roberts: control+alt+f1, login, sudo restart gdm
[15:26] <Oli```> Might work. Might not. Just make sure you save anything open as it'll kill your session.
[15:26] <Gacha> albertz: I had similar problem with an old monitor and the "nomodeset" option fixed that, try to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add nomodeset to the line beginning with # kopt=, then run sudo update-grub

[15:29] <Wavesonics> can I install with Wubi only a dedicated partition, thus avoiding the hard disk performance loss?
[15:29] <joshua_roberts> is it in the xorg.conf?  http://pastebin.com/fS5T8xX6  my monitors are part of a metamode under screen 0 so that they share a virtual desktop space.  would editing the xorg.conf fix this and let me have monitor one house the desktop and monitor 2 just be extra desktop space?
[15:29] <ubydoobydo> hmm, should i re-install ubuntu?
[15:29] <Dr_Willis> Wavesonics:  im not sure thats doable.   You may as well do a normal install if you have free partitions
[15:29] <Wavesonics> well i dont have a CD drive
[15:29] <Cheery> you put ass-backwardish close/maximize/min -buttons on the left side, how to get them on the right side?
