[05:37] <bazhang> MadGirl, ubuntu
[05:37] <MadGirl> rumour has it ubuntu is the one for me. good luck all.
[05:37] <hackulator> and once I do that, if I type "mount" in my command line and the new partition is listed, does that mean its def working correctly?
[05:37] <magical_walrus> Can someone tell me how to restart UnrealIRCd? (I failed the quiz for their support channel and was banned).

[05:46] <kamil> hi guys can somebody tell me how to make keyboards shortcuts for arbitrary commands ?
[05:46] <kamil> I think it should be possible using compiz
[05:46] <DasEi1> !shortcuts | kamil
[05:46] <maco> kamil: install compizconfig-settings-manager
[05:47] <maco> DasEi1: that has a very limited list. it does not cover "arbitrary"
[05:47] <macius> hey could someone help me? i just fglrx-amdcccle package with symaptic packet manager and i didnt realized untill i rebooted but it turned my direct rendering off lol thank god i somewhat remebered the packet names to remove so i could boot up lol :P but yeah anyone know why intalling the catalyst would do this? :S using ubuntu 9.04 with an ati radeon x1900 video card
[05:47] <kamil> maco: exactly that I found on internet but what package should I instal?
[05:47] <maco> kamil: compizconfig-settings-manager is the package
[05:49] <DasEi1> kamil,maco: so via acpi is another method
[05:49] <kamil> maco: I have it allready on newest vewrsion :) but how can I start it or find it
[05:49] <maco> DasEi1: kde lets you do arbitrary ones.  <3 kde
[05:49] <maco> kamil: system -> preferences -> desktop effects
[05:49] <maco> kamil: or maybe "advanced desktop effects" ... itll have a green jewel icon
[05:49] <mikeciance>  HI.  I am trying to use Ubuntu on a Toshiba NB205 netbook.  Due to the lack of a CD drive, I installed through XP using the Net Install.  I accidentally installed the base config (command line) at first, but I was able to apt-get and now the full graphical environment works.   My Wi-Fi does not work.  I have an Atheros card.  I downloaded the Windows Wireless Drivers package, which tells me to select the INF file for the driver.  I
[05:49] <mikeciance> ran the driver installer a windows PC and grabbed all the INF files it output, then I installed them with the utility in Ubuntu.  The installs worked at first, but still no Wi-Fi and now when I look at them it says the drivers are invalid.  Any ideas?
[05:50] <xobile> I installed Ubuntu 9.04 onto a SATA drive connected to a VIA PCI card.. I don't think the VIA PCI card/drive is recognized on boot though.. is there any way to boot to Ubuntu in this case?
[05:50] <bazhang> kamil, system preferences compiz config settings manager is ccsm settings control panel
[05:51] <maco> kamil: did you get it open? if youre having trouble, just hit alt+f2 and type "ccsm" in the runbox
[05:51] <mikeciance> xobile - did you install GRUB Bootloader?
[05:51] <kamil> yes I was looking there but could not find it
[05:51] <kamil> I have it open
[05:51] <xobile> i went through the installer.. but didnt see anything specific asking if i wanted to install GRUB
[05:52] <kamil> I should look for commands plugin i think
[05:52] <spo> is disconnecting my usb ntfs  hard drives  without unmounting them first  okay in ubuntu?
[05:52] <kamil> but can't find it :(
[05:52] <mikeciance> have you tried going into your BIOS setup options and selecting the ubuntu drive as the default boot drive?
[05:52] <maco> kamil: its in general
[05:52] <xobile> doesnt recognize it because it is connected via a PCI SATA card
[05:52] <maco> kamil: there's a "keybindings" tab inside it
[05:53] <magical_walrus> Can someone tell me how to restart UnrealIRCd? (I failed the quiz for their support channel and was banned).
[05:53] <unl0ck> i did the command that one guy said there.. my pc was restarted
[05:54] <unl0ck> how i can config my resolution manually?
[05:54] <mikeciance> xobile: how old is your computer?  you may want to update the BIOS
[05:56] <hackulator> ok, I created a partition using gparted, edited fstab, created a file name for my new mount point, but I am getting permission denied when i try to move a file in there
[05:57] <oddenodin> <ns register <reKlats?><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[05:57] <xobile> mikeciance: pretty old, ~2003 :D tried updating BIOS.. i guess im SOL
[05:57] <xobile> i was hoping there was some kinda bootloader that supported SATA PCI cards
[05:58] <kamil> maco, bzhang: ok thanks very much :) it's working now
[05:58] <DasEi1> hackulator: own the dir to the regalte user
[05:58] <bazhang> oddenodin, better change password and try again, this time in server window
[05:58] <mikeciance> xobile: beats me.  I'm in here for help too lol.
[05:58] <mikeciance> MY PROBLEM - trying to use Ubuntu on Toshiba NB205 netbook. Installed through XP using the Net Install.  accidentally installed the base config (command line) at first, but I was able to apt-get GUI.   My Wi-Fi does not work.  Have an Atheros card.  Downloaded the Windows Wireless Drivers package, which asks for INF file.  Ran driver installer a windows PC and grabbed all the INF files, then installed them with the utility in Ubuntu.
[05:58] <mikeciance>   Installs worked at first, but still no Wi-Fi and now drivers are installed but marked as invalid.  Any ideas?
[05:59] <hackulator> I don
[05:59] <Besogon> unl0ck, see /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:00] <DasEi1> hackulator: change for your needs : sudo chown -R hackulator /path/toMountDir
[06:00] <Besogon> !xorg.conf
[06:00] <mg1118ca> hello
[06:01] <mg1118ca> I am here
[06:01] <MGZT> t
[06:01] <xobile> hehe, thanks anyways, wish i could help ya too :S
[06:02] <hou5ton> anyone tried Ubuntu Studio?
[06:02] <DasEi1> unl0ck: or start nvidia-settings
[06:02] <mikeciance> xobile: i would be on this problem 24/7 except the wired connection is in my dad's room :)
[06:04] <hackulator> is there a way to function as root/superuser in the graphical interface
[06:04] <prince_jammys> hackulator: gksudo someprog
[06:05] <bazhang> !studio > hou5ton
[06:05] <prince_jammys> unless you mean run X as root (not advisable)
[06:05] <alazyworkaholic> I have a problem ejecting a cd. I'm told only the computer's other user can unmount /dev/scd0 from /media/cdrom0, & I see no good reason for that. I looked at user permissions in system/admin/users & groups & both me and the other user (added later in fact) have rights to use cd rom drives. I gave us both permissions to do everything on the list, but I still can't eject. What's going on?
[06:05] <ctmjr> mikeciance: by utility you mean ndiswrapper?
[06:05] <mralexandro> mayday mayday possible hardware trouble. hot dell xps m1330, will ubuntu shut down when to hot. like the black backround with the text and then off ???
[06:05] <hackulator> I mean being able to move files into a directory owned by root in the graphical interdave as opposed to opening hte terminal and using sudo mv......
[06:05] <KB1JWQ> mralexandro: What's dmesg say?
[06:05] <magical_walrus> What is the command for restarting UnrealIRCd?
[06:06] <prince_jammys> hackulator: gksudo YourFileBrowserProg   (probably nautilus)
[06:06] <mralexandro> KB1JWQ: wher can i find?
[06:06] <mikeciance> ctmjr: yes, thats it
[06:06] <KB1JWQ> alazyworkaholic: They have something on that CD mounted perhaps?
[06:07] <Firefishe> kb1
[06:07] <ctmjr> mikeciance: did you use the gui or command line?
[06:07] <bazhang> magical_walrus, is that a package in Ubuntu
[06:07] <Firefishe> KB1JWQ:  de N8PZT
[06:07] <mikeciance> ctmjr: i used the gui
[06:07] <magical_walrus> bazhang: I believe so
[06:07] <alazyworkaholic> KB1JWQ: not likely, they're logged in, but I put in the cd after switching to my account, so nothing would happen with the other account unless something happened automatically.
[06:08] <KB1JWQ> alazyworkaholic: Yeah.  Are they automounting it? :)
[06:08] <KB1JWQ> Unless you're root you can't force them to dismount it.
[06:08] <bazhang> magical_walrus, not seeing it here
[06:08] <sylvainrb> here's the problem: I made ubuntu start into terminal mode by unchecking system>admin>service>gdm and when I start X with startx command, I don't have any rights into X. How do I start X from the terminal with the usual rights from login directly into X. Thanks!
[06:08] <mralexandro> KB1JWQ: wher can i find dmesg
[06:08] <magical_walrus> bazhang: Oh
[06:08] <hackulator> when I use gksudo does that last until I reboot?
[06:08] <bazhang> magical_walrus, what version of Ubuntu is this
[06:09] <magical_walrus> 8.04
[06:09] <lmon123> hi, can anyone tell me if I upgrade to karmic alpha [which is showing around 689Mb of upgrade], then when karmic final releases from aplha how much could be the size of upgrade [approx?]
[06:09] <alazyworkaholic> KB1JWQ: yeah, I opened a terminal to sudo eject, but that's not how I want things to work. Automounting? I don't know.
[06:09] <prince_jammys> hackulator: it lasts until you close the app.
[06:10] <ctmjr> mikeciance: open a terminal and type this please sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[06:10] <bazhang> magical_walrus, seems to be in the package atheme-services afaict
[06:10] <magical_walrus> bazhang, Nevermind, I finally found the proccess and just killed it
[06:11] <alazyworkaholic> KB1JWQ: If automounting is what makes the cd's contents appear on the screen (i.e. what makes it possible to look at the contents without having to do some "mount /this/ /media/here" stuff) I'd like to keep it, but I also want to be able to look at a cd with both users logged in. This should be possible right?
[06:12] <mikeciance> ctmjr: it says "WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in the future release."
[06:12] <sylvainrb> from terminal mode, how do I launch X so I can use Synaptic and change admin options
[06:12] <lmon123> will upgrading from alpha karmic to final karmic[when its out] going to be large [like 680-700mb again?] or just the new packages?
[06:13] <ctmjr> mikeciance: ok thats fine now ndiswrapper -l
[06:13] <ram__> New to ubuntu programming which one is more convinent to use with Source tagging "gtags" or "ctags"
[06:13] <mikeciance> sylvainrb: type "sudo startx" into the terminal
[06:13] <spo> is there a way to clean ntfs based drives in ubuntu/linux?
[06:13] <sylvainrb> mikeciance: i tried that but X never started. Had to kill it
[06:13] <Bytes> Buenas
[06:14] <alazyworkaholic> lmon123: usually you download a couple hundred MB, but for me it usually only takes up a little bit more space once it overwrites.
[06:15] <mikeciance> ctmjr: -1 gave me the command list, trying -i now based on that
[06:15] <Bytes> Alguien habña español?
[06:16] <ctmjr> mikeciance: it is not a one (1) it is a l as in lol
[06:17] <lmon123> alazyworkaholic: ok thanks, so update-manager -d is alright?
[06:17] <lmon123> just being sure ^^
[06:20] <mikeciance> ctmjr: oh lol.  this IRC client uses a bad font, 1 and l are nearly identical
[06:20] <alazyworkaholic> lmon123: I haven't done update-manager -d myself, but I imagine so. Once my computer didn't upgrade well from one stable to the next so backup important stuff if you can. What I expect is that after the upgrade you won't use much more space.
[06:21] <cretsiah> is there a video stream thats like radio station stream?
[06:21] <lmon123> alazyworkaholic: thnx
[06:21] <mikeciance> ctmjr: it lists the 3 and says "Invalid driver!" next to each one
[06:22] <ctmjr> mikeciance: why do you have 3?
[06:22] <maco> cretsiah: what?
[06:22] <maco> cretsiah: are you looking for a podcast app?
[06:22] <TheFly> Yay ubuntu support. Im having an issue getting my microphone to record i can hear it in the speakers but when recording it soudns scratchy and breaks up
[06:22] <client05_> hello
[06:23] <alazyworkaholic> I don't get it. Before I put in a disc, couldn't eject it because only another user had permission. Sudo ejected. Put another one in just the same way. This time I was able to eject normally. Anybody have an idea of what's going on?
[06:23] <hackulator> I just downloaded and installed the virtualbox package from the website as opposed to apt, but now I cannot seem to find it in my menus
[06:24] <TheFly> lol spoke too soon its volume was set at max capture
[06:24] <TheFly> fixed ^^
[06:25] <mikeciance> hackulator: try typing virtualbox into a terminal window and see what it says
[06:25] <alazyworkaholic> hackulator: sometimes I have to go to System - Prefs - Main Menu to manually create a shortcut & go looking for the executable in /user/bin or sbin, or wherever else it might have installed itself.
[06:25] <mikeciance> ctmjr: there were 3 INF files that the windows driver installer output
[06:26] <mralexandro> anyway to get "skype" in ubuntu? :)
[06:26] <cretsiah> maco im just loking for a visual stream i can add to vlc to test something out
[06:26] <hackulator> when I do that it says it is not installed, but when I click on the .deb I downloaded from virtualbox.org it says it is already installed, and even gives me a list of file paths where ti has files installed
[06:26] <th0r> cretsiah: in vlc, in the Media menu, click on Service Discovery and check Shoutcast tv
[06:26] <mikeciance> mralexandro: yes, you just download it from the skype website
[06:27] <alazyworkaholic> mralexandro: sure, add medibuntu repository (google medibuntu) then sudo apt-get install skype.
[06:27] <cretsiah> ok thanx
[06:27] <th0r> cretsiah: that will add a whole playlist of video streams for you to test with
[06:29] <sam__> HELP, I made a mistake format -- mkdosfs /dev/sda1, HOW can I recover it?
[06:29] <alazyworkaholic> This cd drive is being a real pain. Now I put in another dvd & nothing happened. Sometimes I can get it to work by popping it out & back in, but isn't there a software way to make the cd drive try to check again that there's something there?
[06:29] <sam__> I use ubuntu-8.04
[06:29] <mralexandro> alazyworkaholic: how do i add that repostitory?
[06:29] <ctmjr> mikeciance: ok you need to find the one that is for your card make a dir and put the .inf files in it along with the .cat file and .sys file which  should be in the windows folder, then use the gui and uninstall the 3 drivers
[06:30] <TheFly> 0_o errr new problem.. now in order to record i have to have mic playback unmuted
[06:30] <TheFly> which makes anything i record useless and causes feedback
[06:30] <mralexandro> alazyworkaholic: sorry saw it now to google it:D
[06:31] <mikeciance> ctmjr: oooooooo so i need the other files in the same directory?  lol.  would be nice for the program to specify that :)
[06:31] <sam__> HELP, I made a mistake format -- mkdosfs /dev/sda1, HOW can I recover it?
[06:31] <alazyworkaholic> mralexandro: np. sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/`lsb_release -cs`.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo apt-get -q update && sudo apt-get --yes -q --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get -q update
[06:32] <alazyworkaholic> mralexandro: type that into a terminal & it ought to take care of anything. If it matters there's a GUI way, but this copy paste's faster.
[06:32] <ObamaFly> Problem: in order to record i have to have mic playback unmuted which makes anything i record useless and causes feedback
[06:33] <macius> hey can anyone tell me which video cards are ubuntu 9.04 firendly? using radeon x1900 atm but im having many problems with it since direct rendering stops after instaling fglrx just deleted everythign i installed and cant find a solution so considering buying a new card
[06:33] <ObamaFly> anyone run into that issue before
[06:33] <mralexandro> alazyworkaholic: i got it thanks:D
[06:34] <mikeciance> ctmjr: ok, need to go back downstairs to the PC to find that .sys file (on a mac now)
[06:34] <jetscreamer> turn on dri in xorg.conf i think
[06:35] <ObamaFly> I cant think of why the playback would have to be unmuted 0_o
[06:35] <ctmjr> mikeciance: ok,
[06:36] <mralexandro> alazyworkaholic: do you also know a "simple" html editor, like easy visual styled, like coffee cup for linux?
[06:36] <Zaiken> anybody know how to change permissions for the login window? i cant change the settings for the login screen. every time i try they just go back to the original settings.
[06:37] <alazyworkaholic> macius: I think 3xxx & 4xxx ati cards are good. The earlier one's aren't supported by fglrx, but I hear the open-source driver's installed by default work pretty well for those earlier cards & is getting better even for the newer ones.
[06:38] <moorthyvsm> hey Zai, you need login as root and change the settings in Login Window
[06:38] <Myrtti> moorthyvsm: say, what?
[06:38] <alazyworkaholic> mralexandro: sorry, I don't know anything about that. I can just suggest you search in add/remove for html. You might find something.
[06:38] <jetscreamer> gdm.conf is in a new place and it gets overwritten, iirc
[06:38] <Lpcnew> Hello all, iḿ from Brazil! =D
[06:38] <moorthyvsm> Its for Zaiken
[06:38] <macius> alazyworkaholic: alright thanks ill check those out :) hopefully they'll be a bit less of a head ach
[06:38] <jetscreamer> and the old one gets overwritten... even though it's still there
[06:38] <Zaiken> i tried sudo how do i login as root?
[06:38] <Myrtti> moorthyvsm: no, he doesn't need to login as root. There are gazillion other methods
[06:38] <Myrtti> Zaiken: you don't
[06:39] <Zaiken> didnt think so
[06:39] <Qu4R0w> any1 can help me with mounting ext3 partition??i already add to fstab.here mine=http://paste.ubuntu.com/254374/
[06:39] <mikeciance> ctmjr: found the sys file, trying now...
[06:39] <alazyworkaholic> Lpcnew: cool, I'm in Brazil.
[06:39] <Zaiken> so any ideas?
[06:40] <moorthyvsm> welll, if you open login window option in preferences, you will be prompted for a password
[06:40] <moorthyvsm> It just means like changing the identitiy to root
[06:40] <Zaiken> did that gave a permission error
[06:41] <moorthyvsm> wats the error?
[06:41] <Zaiken> dont remember, i cant even get it on this name though. for some reason errors don't popup on this one anymore
[06:41] <moorthyvsm> can you like this? System -> Administration -> Login Window
[06:42] <Zaiken> no i tried that
[06:42] <moorthyvsm> ohh
[06:42] <moorthyvsm> Didn't you get any password prompt or login Windows options?
[06:42] <mikeciance> ctmjr: tried through the gui, still says invalid driver.  anythign else i might need besides the .cab and .sys files?
[06:42] <Zaiken> i know i messed up permissions, just dont know how to fix
[06:43] <Zaiken> i did
[06:43] <mikeciance> ctmjr: also, the .cab files were in a subdirectory.  should i put them in a folder with the same name?
[06:43] <moorthyvsm> we aren't sure, what the changes you made....
[06:43] <moorthyvsm> can you just tell me the changes you have done..?
[06:43] <Zaiken> too many to list.
[06:44] <Zaiken> way too many XD
[06:44] <moorthyvsm> haha,,
[06:44] <Qu4R0w> please any1 see what wrong with my fstab=http://paste.ubuntu.com/254374/
[06:44] <moorthyvsm> No idea, to resolve this....
[06:44] <Qu4R0w> it not mount my sda8 auto on boot
[06:45] <ctmjr> mikeciance: no everything in the same dir. and are you trying the drivers one at a time? if there are any bin files you might need them.
[06:45] <Zaiken> well i can get into login window manager, it just wont save settings
[06:45] <ThreeFinity> Anybody here have any experience getting jackd and Creox c to work for their guitar?

[06:50] <bazhang> Magliadoro, its a websire to check if your windows app will run in wine.
[06:50] <Magliadoro> huh, why does it give that for the list command?
[06:50] <ctmjr> mikeciance: this is what you do get the zip file you downloaded unzip it on your desktop point ndiswrapper to that dir and try one .inf file at a time then if that does not work you must have the wrong drivers
[06:50] <Magliadoro> oh ok
[06:50] <Magliadoro> Thanks :)
[06:51] <mikeciance> ctmjr: they don't give you a zip file, they give you an exe self-extractign archive :)
[06:52] <Dexter> Qu4R0w, http://paste.ubuntu.com/254383/
[06:52] <mralexandro> exit
[06:52] <mralexandro> ops
[06:52] <mikeciance> ctmjr: and that archive doesnt even have the INF files in it.  you have to run another exe inside that exe and it extracts INF files into your windows folder
[06:52] <mikeciance> lol
[06:53] <Qu4R0w> Dexter: no nid "UUID"?
[06:53] <gogeta>  mikeciance or use cabextract
[06:55] <ctmjr> mikeciance: boy their not making it easy are they, the only files ndiswrapper needs are .inf, .sys, .cat and .bin as far as i know
[06:55] <Dayofswords> whenever i turn on my computer i get ubuntu  6 times, for 3 different versions of linux kernels and their recovery thing(i think, idr). i get something.something-11, something.something-13 and something.something-14, how do i hva e just the lastest kernel only option? its annoying going down 9 times for xp
[06:56] <th0r> Dayofswords: set the default option in menu.lst to point to the xp option
[06:57] <Dayofswords> well i dont want the defualt xp, i want their not be 6 ubuntu and just the lastest kernal
[06:57] <ctmjr> mikeciance: you are using the drivers for windows xp right not vista?
[06:58] <Dayofswords> (new to linux)
[06:58] <th0r> Dayofswords: then comment out the lines for each of the undesired kernels, again in menu.lst
[06:58] <Dayofswords> where is menu.1st?
[06:58] <maco> Dayofswords: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:58] <Dayofswords> thank you
[06:58] <bazhang> Dayofswords, you should hang onto at least one extra just to be safe
[06:58] <th0r> Dayofswords: open a terminal, type gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:58] <lightpriest_> maco, he could use dpkg-reconfigure linux-image
[06:58] <maco> Dayofswords: keeping 1 older kernel is generally good incase a kernel update breaks something and you need an old known-good one
[06:58] <mikeciance> ctmjr: yeah, the xp drivers
[06:59] <ctmjr> mikeciance: ok,
[06:59] <maco> Dayofswords: if youre on jaunty: "sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic" should remove the -11 kernel
[06:59] <Qu4R0w> see my fstab..it not load sda8 automatically..what error there=http://paste.ubuntu.com/254374/

[07:06] <th0r> Qu4R0w: what part of 'can't' is confusing?
[07:06] <kavurt> Qu4R0w, mkdir /media/suse for example
[07:06] <Qu4R0w> kavurt: or let it auto mount that partition that make i can open that suse partition from ubuntu
[07:06] <ThreeFinity> peedy: I can hear the guitar through the speakers, and when i hit play in creox it shows it auto connecting with jackd, but it does nothing to the sound
[07:07] <felix--> spo not much old, 7 years

[07:07] <Qu4R0w> th0r: /dev/sda8
[07:07] <Geoffrey2> the device shows up in lsusb.....
[07:07] <felix--> the big question is why e2fsck dont lets me check sda
[07:07] <kavurt> Qu4R0w, listen: create a folder first for suse
[07:07] <mikeciance> _get: maybe "C:\Program Files" or "C:\WINDOWS\System32" ?
[07:07] <mikeciance> _ged: maybe "C:\Program Files" or "C:\WINDOWS\System32" ? (spelled your name wrong)
[07:08] <Qu4R0w> using this=sudo mkdir -p /media/sda8?
[07:08] <peedy> ThreeFinity: jack is hardest to configure, try with ubuntu studio. it has ardour preinstalled with jack configured. you can record and edit in ardour.

[07:21] <mikeciance> *net
[07:22] <p1oooop> mikeciance: like I said :D
[07:22] <kismet> i have a brief question....is it possible to have a windows xp as virtual machine and dual boot
[07:22] <peedy> ThreeFinity: See, GNOME requires a sound server for its sounds and KDE can directly do that with ALSA. One thing I'd suggest is the you should give KDE a shot (apt-get install kubuntu-desktop). and try it with a different user
[07:22] <ThreeFinity> thank you :) i'll give that a go, but why with a different user?
[07:22] <p1oooop> mikeciance: maybe you want to get something that doesn't push the limits of suck
[07:22] <ActionParsnip> kismet: no if its a VM you will need to boot the host system first. therefore its not a dual boot and can't be
[07:22] <p1oooop> mikeciance: asus one is pretty good :D
[07:22] <mikeciance> ploooop: well i tried the Dell Mini 10v first, but i had keys getting stuck and coming off and all sorts of crap
[07:22] <stillcen> so question, i have never done this befor if i have a question do i just toss it out there? p.s. it is a dual boot ??
[07:22] <prince_jammys> kismet: you mean dual boot linux anad windows, and also have a windows virtual machine in linux?
[07:23] <Flimflam> hey
[07:23] <p1oooop> mikeciance: LOLZ...
[07:23] <felix--> ActionParsnip: boot recovery takes me to a root prompt: im using a liveCD. just WHY i cant run e2fsck if the media isnt mounted or used by any program
[07:23] <p1oooop> mikeciance: try asus... they make pretty good laptops
[07:23] <kismet> prince_jammys: i mean, haveing a dualboot windows xp and the same windows xp as a virtual machine in ubuntu
[07:23] <ActionParsnip> felix--: try with sudo
[07:23] <th0r> !ask | stillcen
[07:23] <felix--> ActionParsnip: i mean, to a prompt with the media already mounted
[07:23] <mikeciance> ploooop: it's actually a very nice piece of hardware, and the wifi is the only thing not currently working
[07:24] <felix--> ActionParsnip: im as root while running e2fsck
[07:24] <prince_jammys> kismet: i don't think so, no.
[07:24] <kismet> prince_jammys: ummm okay... thanks
[07:24] <ActionParsnip> felix--: your fstab is being read, use sudo umount to unmount them all
[07:24] <p1oooop> mikeciance: mm, well... you can always get a wifi card....
[07:25] <Draconic> Hello all, Are people up tonight?
[07:25] <kavurt> kismet, so you want to install xp and ubuntu in different partitions, and install xp as virtual in ubuntu?
[07:25] <stillcen> right; i got Ubuntu on my hard disk, and Window XP on a slave hard disk.  i edited the boot/grub/menu.lst with
[07:25] <stillcen> crap more coming
[07:25] <p1oooop> mikeciance: save yourself all the trouble and just get a small protrusion :D
[07:25] <mikeciance> ploooop: yeah, i may give in and spend some more money.  just hurts after dishign out the money for the laptop
[07:25] <peedy> ThreeFinity: create another user. and log in from there. create another user from system>administration>users (As far as i remember, I;m not at home,in college)
[07:25] <jason__> kismet, speaking solely for virtualbox, this is possible if you're /very/ careful, but it almost definitely won't work if you want to install guest additions (which you probably do)
[07:25] <felix--> ActionParsnip: mount does not show sda mounted, even the swap
[07:26] <p1oooop> mikeciance: meh.... we all have bad.... weeks
[07:26] <kismet> kavurt: kind of... i want to install ubuntu and windows in different partions... and in ubuntu i would like to run the windows xp partition within a virtual machine
[07:26] <ActionParsnip> felix--: how adbout /dev/sda1
[07:26] <alazyworkaholic> kismet: do you mean having both & with the virtual machine having access to the programs installed on the dual boot partition?
[07:26] <Flimflam> out of interest
[07:26] <ActionParsnip> felix--: you can't mount sda, its a physical drive and not a partition, you can only mount partitions
[07:26] <kismet> jason__: so it is possible.. but with a lot of work?? is that right?
[07:26] <felix--> ActionParsnip: i mean any sda?
[07:27] <stillcen> title Window XP    root(hd0,1)   make active  chain loader +1          and   when i boot i get the esc option to boot xp but it dont go?
[07:27] <Draconic> Huh lots of action tonight.
[07:27] <ThreeFinity> peedy: tyvm :)
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> felix--: you can boot to live cd instead, then you will only have to umount swap
[07:27] <peedy> p1oooop: does your netbook have ethernet? try setting up NetBoot from another computer and install via ethernet. connecting a usb cd drive and booting the cd is another option
[07:27] <felix--> ActionParsnip: READ
[07:27] <felix--> hi. my hard drive seems to be broken. i run e2fsck each time during boot, but didnt found/repair anything. boot fails at the time of starting gdm. a white square appears but not reaches to show anything. Now im using a livecd /// root@gnewsense:/home/deltah# e2fsck -b 8193 -fckp /dev/sda ///// e2fsck: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda / Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program? /// it isnt mounted, dunno what to do
[07:27] <mikeciance> ploooop: is this the kind of thing that is supposed to configure on install?
[07:27] <kismet> alazyworkaholic: yeah kind of.... so it doesn't metter where i am if i install a application in virtual machine.. it is available on the dual boot
[07:28] <mikeciance> ploooop: meaning, if i install again from my SD u think it might work?
[07:28] <Ben64> felix--: maybe it IS mounted, live cds tend to do that
[07:28] <jason__> kismet, it's possible with a lot of work, luck (your physical system has to more-or-less match the hardware virtualbox provides), using hardware profiles for the windows machine, and accepting a limited feature set (only 640x480, no 3d graphics, no clipboard sharing, etc.) while windows is in the virtualbox.
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> felix--: yes you can boot to live cd which you never mention in your text then read the man pages for fsck and use better options
[07:29] <peedy> mikeciance: does your netbook have ethernet? try setting up NetBoot from another computer and install via ethernet. connecting a usb cd drive and booting the cd is another option.
[07:29] <p1oooop> peedy: not mine, mikeciance's
[07:29] <felix--> Ben64 mount does not show any media mounted< only /sys /proc etc
[07:29] <kismet> jason__: so it is more recomended to have two different things if i want both?
[07:29] <badams> can someone please help me out? im trying to give dev/sdb2 more space http://imgur.com/UaK88.png
[07:29] <peedy> ploooop: sorry for the last message, I'm an IRC n00b
[07:29] <p1oooop> peedy:  lolz... np
[07:29] <mikeciance> peedy: yeah, the usb cd drive is another thing i am being cheap on right now lol
[07:30] <Ben64> felix--: use parted to find which partition is the one you wanna check, and fsck it
[07:30] <p1oooop> mikeciance: mmmmhm
[07:30] <jason__> kismet, it's /much/ easier to have a shared data drive between two different windows installs (one virtual, one physical).  You can put all your documents, multimedia files, etc. on there, and access it from both installs.  That's pretty easy
[07:30] <badams> it wont let me resize the extended partition
[07:30] <alazyworkaholic> kismet: I've looked for ways to make that possible with no luck at all. What jason__ says makes sense. The best I think I could manage was being able to indirectly access the files on the win xp drive by getting to them through linux then using the virtualbox additions to move them into the virtualized windows.
[07:30] <peedy> mikeciance: you can connect ur pc's drive using a IDE to USB cable
[07:30] <kismet> jason__: okay... i thought that i could reduce the work to install the applications twice
[07:30] <th0r> badams: the swap is in the way
[07:31] <p1oooop> mikeciance: how come I've never tried that :D
[07:31] <jason__> kismet, I'm confident that, unless you're installing a -lot- of programs, you wouldn't be reducing the work
[07:31] <ramontayag> hi all. i get an error when i try to remove sendmail http://pastie.org/585587 . i have 1gb of memory so that error about not being able to allocate memory shouldn't come out. i don't know if it's an ubuntu, linux or sendmail error. what should i do?
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> peedy: all drives have IDE ;)
[07:31] <kavurt> badams, I think you can remove swap and extend sdb2 and recreate swap
[07:31] <badams> th0r: thanks! that worked :D
[07:31] <kismet> jason__: & alazyworkaholic : thank you for your help
[07:32] <badams> just dragged moved the swap to the left of the empty space
[07:32] <alazyworkaholic> jason__: what's that shared data drive? How would that work?
[07:32] <kismet> jason__: another question.... stuiped thought maybe
[07:32] <peedy> ActionParsnip: yeah, technically but thats what that cable is called
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> peedy: its a PATA cable
[07:33] <Ben64> it's an ide cable
[07:33] <mikeciance> peedy: well, i think my goal for tomorrow is to try the "backports" package thing
[07:33] <p1oooop> ActionParsnip: hey AP, remember me :D
[07:33] <mikeciance> peedy: i'll see where I go from there
[07:33] <kismet> jason__: is it possible if i install an application within windows on dual boot on a shared folder... which i than use within the virtualbox network folder... so i have all settings?!?! i don't know if i could explain myself
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> p1oooop: its been a long night
[07:33] <p1oooop> ActionParsnip: it's like talking to a teacher or something :D
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> p1oooop: i like to teach. If everyone knew everything the world would be a better place
[07:34] <p1oooop> mikeciance: succeed and prosper
[07:34] <jason__> alazyworkaholic, for example, we have a partition /dev/xy2 that has a folder \path\to\data on it that we want to share.  We mount it in linux (so mount -t ntfs-or-whatever /dev/xy2 /mnt/xy2), then the data to be shared is in /mnt/xy2/path/to/data; we use guest additions to make that a shared folder data-share, and then run 'net use x: \\vboxsvr\data-share' to get it under the x:\ drive in the windows guest
[07:34] <peedy> ActionParsnip: I had that on the tip of my tongue. I'm in India and the shops give such names to hardware. Like PCI Ethernet card is called 'LAN CArd'
[07:34] <leaf-sheep> ActionParsnip: You used the rulers on your students? :(
[07:34] <p1oooop> ActionParsnip: however, that is, sadly, impossible
[07:34] <kelly> can anyone vouch that pidgin fails to connect
[07:34] <kelly> has been so for the last 3 days
[07:35] <mikeciance> plooop: thanks, hope i do
[07:35] <Ben64> kelly: connect to.....
[07:35] <p1oooop> leaf-sheep: LOLZ :D
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> p1oooop: sadly
[07:35] <kelly> Ben64, using msn protocol
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> leaf-sheep: no thats harsh :)
[07:35] <Ben64> kelly: nope works fine
[07:35] <p1oooop> mikeciance: it's 1 instead of l by the way
[07:35] <kelly> thanks
[07:35] <Ben64> only yahoo had a problem recently
[07:35] <Ben64> but the new version fixes it
[07:36] <jason__> kismet, this depends on the application.  Most complicated applications will have issues with this (like Office, games, and most things).  Some simple things (winscp comes to mind as an example, only because I use it a lot) will have no problem with this.  They store all their settings as files in the program folder.  A lot of programs make heavy use of the windows registry, which will be the problem
[07:36] <zefyx> does aptitude have a perl sqlite package i can install?
[07:36] <peedy> mikeciance: you might even try making the usb drive using UNetBootin. give unetbootin the iso image of ubuntu live cd, connect the flash drive and wait till it makes it bootable
[07:36] <zefyx> for DBD
[07:36] <porjo> I'm trying to use minicom inside Gnome terminal on Ubuntu 9.04. Works fine if I do 'sudo minicom -s', however if I leave off the '-s' I get a flickering screen...??
[07:36] <kismet> jason__: i see.. that helped me alot i guess... and saved me maybe a lot of time and effort to try to get things working
[07:36] <stillcen> let me ask my question this way;  How can i find the root of my slave drive?  have tried hd0,0 hd1,0 hd0,1
[07:37] <mikeciance> peedy: i had the image on the USB, it just wouldnt boot from it
[07:37] <porjo> I'm using minicom to connect to a Cisco switch - ttyS0, 9600/8/N/1 etc
[07:37] <mtbbiker99> xfce menue einstellung (eintrag weg), hilfe
[07:37] <mtbbiker99> german people here?
[07:38] <peedy> mikeciance: how did you get the image on usb?
[07:38] <th0r> !de
[07:38] <bazhang> mtbbiker99, #ubuntu-de
[07:38] <p1oooop> mtbbiker99: sorry... english chatroom...
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> stillcen: you mean partition, surely. you will most likely find it is hd1 is the drive then if you read the partiotion number in the output of: sudo fdisk -l   and subtract 1, that will give you the partition number
[07:38] <p1oooop> !de | mtbbiker99
[07:39] <anoop> how to make Jaunty play mp3?
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> !mp3 | anoop
[07:40] <p1oooop> anoop: isn't it implemented
[07:40] <p1oooop> anoop: double click on the file...
[07:40] <alazyworkaholic> jason__: I think I followed most of that, except for the last part. run 'net use x:..." is that command run in that "run" box in windows in virtualbox?
[07:40] <peedy> mikeciance: like what program did ya use?
[07:40] <stillcen> ActionParsnip;  no i am trying to set up my dual boot and the best i figure the error is in my root command in trying to find the xp on my slave drive which is sdb
[07:41] <jason__> alazyworkaholic, yes.  Virtualbox guest additions set up a virtual SAMBA server at \\vboxsvr that hosts the shared holders you set up in the VM settings
[07:41] <chrionix> Hi all, I'm trying to download sourcecode from sourceforge cvs, can anyone give me a hand with the commands?
[07:41] <peedy> jason__: keep the sharename different from the name of the directory you want to share. Works for me only if its different
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> stillcen: then if the XP is istalled on the first partition thn it will be hd1,0
[07:42] <kavurt> chrionix, do you need a command to download?
[07:42] <kismet> hey jason__ still there?
[07:43] <chrionix> kavurt: I tried this - cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@bettermud.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bettermud co -r HEAD bettermud ... but it times out
[07:43] <zefyx> does aptitude have a perl sqlite package i can install?
[07:43] <zefyx> for DBD
[07:43] <jason__> peedy, huh, interesting.  I've never happened upon a conflict; it probably would have left me pretty confused if I had.  Thanks.  kismet, apparently
[07:43] <peedy> anoop: type this in terminal, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extra
[07:43] <stillcen> i tried root(hd1,0) no dice.  this is what i typed in " title Window XP
[07:43] <stillcen> root (hd1,0)
[07:43] <stillcen> make active

[07:43] <user_> how to format usb flash drive
[07:43] <bazhang> user_, using gparted
[07:43] <kismet> jason__: do you know kvm... i read that some guys did it with kvm
[07:44] <peedy> jason__: might have been resovled in the later versions.
[07:44] <jason__> kismet, nope; I've never used.  peedy, I suppose.  I'll throw it in my box of things-not-to-do
[07:45] <alazyworkaholic> jason__: thanks a lot. Also, I'm new to virt & trying to decide whether to go with KVM or VirtualBox 3.0. What's your preference? From what I've seen KVM can be faster on the CPU but only gives you a really crappy GPU while the new virtualbox is much better now due to SMP & access to your GPU's hardware.
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> user_: depends what format you want
[07:46] <peedy> alazyworkaholic: One thing that i like about VBox is the seamless mode
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> user_: you dont simply format a partition, you format it to ext3 or to ext2 or ntfs
[07:46] <jason__> alazyworkaholic, I've never used kvm; so you can deduce that I cannot answer your question, but am happy enough with virtualbox not to be looking for an alternative.  It can be quite heavy on my CPU, but with two cores, that's not so bad; even if one core gets pegged, the other one goes right on, and I don't really notice.
[07:46] <dirtbag666>  hi there. annoying problem: for no obvious reason, KDM will redirect me to the login form after entering my login name and password (KDE 4.2.2 on Kubuntu 9.04) Any ideas?
[07:47] <bazhang> dirtbag666, perhaps ask in #kubuntu ?
[07:48] <thedancingdeer> how do i apply patch?? i got it from this page! http://code.google.com/p/quodlibet/issues/detail?id=273
[07:48] <user_> should i install gparted before format the flash dirve
[07:49] <bazhang> user_, yes
[07:50] <user_> this pen drive not open in xp
[07:50] <shyam_k> does ubuntu include non-free driver for nvidia to support 3d rendering?
[07:50] <bazhang> user_, are you in ubuntu now?
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> user_: you  can perform formats with CLI. You can use gparted if you wish: gksudo gparted
[07:50] <apparle> Can anyone make me a i386 DEB package for a source............I don't have good net connection to download all the libraries
[07:50] <bazhang> shyam_k, you need to install them
[07:51] <apparle> !nvidia
[07:52] <user_> ya in ubuntu, how to use cli
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> user_: you still havent specified what filesystem you want to format to
[07:52] <user_> ntfs
[07:53] <apparle> user_: why don't you try using gparted
[07:53] <bazhang> user_, for a flash stick?
[07:53] <apparle> user_: how big is your flash drive
[07:53] <user_> ya
[07:53] <user_> 2 GB
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> user_: sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs
[07:54] <bazhang> user_, that would be fat32 not ntfs
[07:54] <user_> ya
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> user_: then you can use: sudo mkntfs /dev/partitionnamehere
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> user_: if you want fat32 you can use mkdosfs (i think its that I dont have any linux boxes available to me)
[07:55] <user_> can i format flash in ntfs
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> sure
[07:56] <user_> what is the command should i use to format flash drive
[07:56] <th0r> ActionParsnip: mkdosfs is correct
[07:56] <apparle> user_: Its useless to partition a flash drive to ntfs that small.........
[07:56] <user_> i got install gparted
[07:56] <user_> ya
[07:56] <apparle> user_: Start gparted and you will understand it
[07:57] <shyam_k> has there been any news about nvidia around ubuntu community?
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> apparle: why, ntfs is much more robust than fat32
[07:57] <user_> its ask for root level
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> user_: gksudo gparted
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> user_: will run it with proper priveledges
[07:59] <jason1986> how are we all doing tonight?
[07:59] <apparle> ActionParsnip: what advantage do you get when using NTFS............plz explain......I don't know much
[08:00] <user_> there is no pen driver
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> apparle: the size does not dictate the file system. The use and need for robustness will drive the decision. FAT32 is very unresilient to things like hard power offs and users yanking devices from systems without proper unmounting. NTFS is much more resiliant to poor user use so is a much better choice than FAT32
[08:01] <Dextorion> jason1986, pretty good. Just had some breakfast and arrived at work. hehe
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> user_: does the pen drive show up in: sudo fdisk -l  ?
[08:02] <oguncak> hi friends. in pidgin, when i get new mail notifications, i click on it and appears a box that i have a new mail on hotmail account. when i click on "open mail", it does nothing. how can i solve that?
[08:02] <jason1986> what are you having for breakfast? anything good
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> apparle: ext3 is great for internal drives but for flash based media it will shorten the life as the journal is written to quite a lot so ext2 is a better choice if you want to use a non-proprietary fs
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> jason1986: just a big mug of tea
[08:03] <jason1986> how can you argue with that haha
[08:03] <Dextorion> jason1986, just cereals and a couple of sandwiches
[08:03] <jason1986> and here i only have some left over pizza ^_^
[08:04] <apparle> ActionParsnip: I want to make the USB drive openable in windows also so plz explain FAT32 and NTFS
[08:04] <thedancingdeer> i'm not able to download lyrics using quodlibet's lyrics plugin! can anyone help!
[08:04] <user_> its not working, is there any GUI way to format
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> apparle: you should read wikipedia. they will give muh more info than i can
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> user_: does the partition show up in the fdisk output?
[08:05] <mralexandro> where can i go to get help with a dhtml window menu?
[08:05] <user_> pen drive appear in computer but not in gparted
[08:05] <Flannel> mralexandro: ##javascript
[08:05] <user_> no its not working
[08:05] <mralexandro> Flannel: thanks
[08:05] <kraut> moin
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> user_: in terminal run: sudo fdisk -l     use pastebin to give us the output
[08:06] <user_> as gparted open terminal is not working
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> user_: i dont want you to run gparted
[08:06] <Jason2gs> Is it possible, to, like, feed an AVI (or maybe a cool picture) to a v4l webcam stream?
[08:07] <Jason2gs> So, like,
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> user_: i want you to run: sudo fdisk -l    some text will appear and you need to copy it then paste it to www.pastebin.com  so we can read it
[08:07] <Jason2gs> If you're streaming  your webcam to someone else, or to some site, you can replace the webcam feed with your own video.
[08:07] <Jason2gs> Is that possible?
[08:08] <user_> ya but its not show pen drive
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> user_: can we see the output anyway
[08:08] <mralexandro> Flannel: are you good with javascripts yourself?
[08:08] <oguncak> hi firends. on starup ubuntu, how can i by-pass the grub menu that counts down from 3 seconds? i find it useless for not using another OS????
[08:08] <user_> ya, system partion
[08:09] <user_> not the pen
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> oguncak: if you need to boot to recovery mode you will need it
[08:09] <user_> i can find it on computer but cant open
[08:09] <bazhang> oguncak, change the count to zero ?
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> oguncak: you can reduce the number to 1 or 2 but i dont suggest a 0 count at all
[08:09] <vadviktor> oguncak: you really shouldn't, let's say a kernel update f..s up, and then you'll be sorry for not having that 3 secs :)
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> user_: lets do this way:  sudo apt-get install pastebinit; sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> user_: paste the link that command outputs
[08:10] <oguncak> allright.. i think it will be useful when i got a problem :D thanks.. i am a newby!!
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> oguncak: every day is a school day
[08:11] <Dextorion> oguncak, change the countdown in /boot/grub/menu.lst to 1.
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> oguncak: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:12] <oguncak> i am proud to have such teachers and such a school :D thankkk youu..
[08:12] <StraightDave> hi folks, accessing cgi-bin gives me 500 Internal Server ERror....how to fix ?
[08:13] <user_> ya did it
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> user_: ok can you give us the link that it generated
[08:16] <user_> sudo apt-get install pastebinit; sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[08:16] <user_>  /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table
[08:16] <user_> http://pastebin.com/f5ca5f26b
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> user_: ok thats great, is the device new?
[08:18] <user_> no
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> user_: ah, ok is there data on it that you need?
[08:19] <user_> no
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> user_: ok then you will need to run: gksudo gparted /dev/sdb
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> user_: to create a partition on /dev/sdb which can then be formatted
[08:21] <Jason2gs> Can you feed an AVI video into a v4l webcam stream? So, if you're streaming your webcam to another person, they'll see the AVI, rather than the webcam feed.

[08:35] <Twisted> wondering how to get ubuntu on an older com that doesnt have bluetooth?
[08:37] <TheFunkbomb> hi, could somebody help me with conky?  I can't get it to stick to the desktop
[08:37] <scott1> I know this is linux its a little differnet,
[08:37] <scott1> I dont get how
[08:37] <pepperphd> its really annoying when a program terminates using curses terminates with an unhandled exception. can i make python kill curses before doing this so it leaves me with a usable terminal?
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> Twisted: use a cd
[08:37] <scott1> In windows it was like always C:\documents and settings\Owner\ music,video,documents desktop all in here, however
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> scott1: ubuntu is a distribution of linux. The linux bit is the kernel. The stuff round it is the distribution packages. Different distributions use different packages
[08:38] <Twisted> have it tryed installing but the stupid blutooth thing halted me
[08:38] <Flannel> pepperphd: No, because what happens there is curses doesn't re-set the terminal to a "happy" state as far as echo/etc is concerned (so its usable by a human), killing it early still won't make it reset that, your best bet is to restart the program, close it and let it shutdown properly
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> scott1: thats all stored in /home/$USER   which can be abbreviated to ~/
[08:38] <scott1> i dont understand it like i just download a .zip file with 12 audio tracks, i extract  them to music but whhy does the zip file goto desktop and still, and the music goes to music whats the location of the tracks
[08:39] <scott1> What do you mean can be abbreviated?
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> scott1: the default location in firefox is to download to dektop
[08:39] <scott1> instead of like c:\ its just /home/ ?
[08:39] <gogeta> scott1: dont understand how linux is diffrent?
[08:39] <gogeta> scott1: you should look up on the the history of linux
[08:39] <scott1> i dont get it at all :(
[08:39] <Flannel> scott1: instead of C:\Documents and Settings\Username it's /home/username
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> scott1: abbreviarted means shorten, if you type cd ~/    in terminal you will go to your home directory
[08:39] <kbp> scott1: yea "c:\" in Windows is "/" in Linux
[08:40] <arquebus> scott- your home directory in linux is like my documents in windows
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> scott1: as a casual user you dont have to worry about stuff like that as its all abstracted for you
[08:41] <Jason2gs> Can you feed an AVI video into a v4l webcam stream? So, if you're streaming your webcam to another person, they'll see the AVI, rather than the webcam feed.
[08:41] <scott1>   how come brasero takes so long to burn a cd?
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> Jason2gs: you could try using cat to pipe the data to the video device
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> scott1: try different settings
[08:42] <scott1> i was looking around in my windows folders
[08:42] <scott1> andi found ubuntu
[08:42] <scott1> is that how i put stuff in here from windows?
[08:42] <scott1> Or can i just acesss it from here
[08:43] <gogeta> scott1: can do both
[08:43] <scott1> i tryed to read up on it but its hard jargon
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> scott1: it will be hard at first. You can read ntfs partitions natively from linux
[08:43] <scott1> how can i?
[08:43] <scott1> I like linux alot its so much
[08:44] <scott1> cleaner and more organized i feel
[08:44] <gogeta> scott1: we all started at that point once you lern the base commands you lern quick
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> scott1: if its an internal partition (not on usb) it will be available to you already
[08:44] <scott1> can you teach me all i need to know?
[08:44] <KB1JWQ> ActionParsnip: Aw, you have a friend!
[08:44] <scott1> Yes actionparsnip it is,
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> scott1: not possible, you will need to do a lot of  websearching
[08:44] <sagaci> scott1: you can't learn it all in a night
[08:44] <gogeta> scott1: and just exp
[08:45] <scott1> what is this terminal,
[08:45] <scott1> ?
[08:45] <scott1> Is more or less CMD ?
[08:45] <sagaci> scott1: look up linux/unix folder hierachy
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> !terminal
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> scott1: its cmd.exe but with more power and intelligence
[08:45] <gogeta> scott1: linux bash is more powerfll then any gui unlike windows
[08:45] <sagaci> without the exe
[08:45] <scott1> linux bash?
[08:45] <sagaci> !bash
[08:46] <sagaci> Bourne Again SHell
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> scott1: bash is an interpretter and is default in linux, you can also use sh, dash to name but 2
[08:46] <gogeta> scott1: bash and term mean the same they just renamed it to be more user frendly
[08:46] <kbp> scott1: as a normal user, you dont need to use terminal much. It's just helpful for programmers/developers
[08:46] <sagaci> just a type of shell that you can use to interact with the files and processes on your computer
[08:46] <psycho_oreos> you can also access it via Ctrl+Alt+F{1-7} with 7 being the xorg (GUI)
[08:46] <scott1> a shell?
[08:46] <gogeta> scott1: if you used dos its simler
[08:46] <kbp> scott1: anything else can be done using GUI programs :)
[08:46] <sagaci> kbp: and updating, installing software swiftlier in some cases
[08:47] <scott1> what do you mean KBP?
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> scott1: just get aquainted with the OS, use it and get comfortable with it. in Ubuntu you dont really need a great lot of knowledge about the OS. As you use it you will get more proficient
[08:48] <kbp> scott1: ... it's like terminal is pretty cool when you know how to use it, but it's not compulsory. You can install/manage your pc, hdd, file manager etc. using GUI programs (GUI = graphical user interface)
[08:48] <scott1> terminal is a gui?
[08:48] <scott1> is that how it works then ,
[08:48] <psycho_oreos> you can do alot of things inside terminal, you can even surf the web, watch movies, listen to music, chat on internet, etc
[08:48] <psycho_oreos> no
[08:49] <scott1> thats what i dont get how you can do all of that in a cmd prompt (or close2 it ur saying)
[08:49] <psycho_oreos> terminal is similar to a gui in terms of what you want to use it for but its not very user-friendly
[08:49] <oldude67> scott1, gnome is to terminal as windows is to dos..(gui)
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> scott1: no, you can type commands in the terminal to achieve things, or you can use graphical apps, e.g. you can copy files in cmd.exe in windows but you can also use explorer
[08:49] <scott1> so
[08:49] <scott1> windows really runs on dos,
[08:49] <psycho_oreos> well windows as to cmd.exe :)
[08:49] <psycho_oreos> no
[08:49] <scott1> and windows is the gui
[08:49] <scott1> ?
[08:49] <psycho_oreos> windows used to
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> scott1: win98 and win95 did
[08:50] <oldude67> was just making an example
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> scott1: in linux thats how it works too in most cases
[08:50] <psycho_oreos> yes but since migration to NT kernel into mainstream, they've lost dos
[08:50] <psycho_oreos> well not fully anyway
[08:50] <scott1> you lost me psycho
[08:50] <kbp> scott1: gui = programs with graphical and colour stuff.  Non-gui = cmd or terminal (i.e. just text base)
[08:51] <scott1> migration to NT KERNEL ?
[08:51] <scott1> whats kernel
[08:51] <scott1> or nt
[08:51] <sagaci> !kernel
[08:51] <psycho_oreos> scott1, kernel is like core of the operating system.. the heart.. and NT is windows stuff.. it means New Technology.. windows 2000, windows xp, windows vista are all using NT kernel
[08:51] <scott1> Kind o like registry?
[08:51] <oldude67> anyone have the url for the pocket guide for him?
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> scott1: the kernel is the heart of an OS and manages hardware access and memory
[08:52] <psycho_oreos> registry is different but some similarities
[08:52] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[08:52] <oldude67> !hi
[08:52] <scott1> so, i bought this computer right its a HP laptop,
[08:52] <coz_> scott1,  in gnome to closest thing to a registry would be gconf-editor
[08:52] <pepperphd> before windows NT, windows ran on top of dos the way the X server (gnome, KDE, xfce) runs on top of terminals
[08:52] <scott1> If i wanted to switch over everything is that possible?
[08:52] <chrionix> guys, i'm using ubuntu 8.10, and when I load the update manager, it doesn't show me the chance to udate to 9.04, any ideas?
[08:52] <coz_> scott1,  switch to what?
[08:53] <coz_> chrionix,  open a terminal   update-manater -d
[08:53] <oldude67> chrionix, open terminal and try update-manager -d
[08:53] <coz_> sorry
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> chrionix: sudo update-manager -d
[08:53] <oldude67> lol
[08:53] <kbp> scott1: your laptop can use Windows/Linux/Ubuntu etc. except MacOS. So you can switch to any OS you like :)
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> oldude67: needs sudo duder ;)
[08:53] <coz_> yes that one
[08:53] <chrionix> coz, oldude67, ActionParsnip : Ahhh, thanks :)
[08:54] <pepperphd> scott1: to completely get rid of windows, just boot up the install cd and when it comes to partitioning the drives tell it to reformat everything. i assume you mean you dont want a trace of windows left on your pc?
[08:54] <sagaci> coz_
[08:54] <coz_> sagaci,  hey guy
[08:54] <ShapeShifter499> I have a powerbook g4 and ubuntu 9.04 is installed on it, I also want to put mac os x than install darwin 8.0.1 on top but how do I install the new os without loosing ubuntu?
[08:54] <sagaci> coz_: backup your data before upgrading
[08:54] <coz_> sagaci,   I dont upgrade guy :)
[08:54] <scott1> this computer right, came with 64 bit technology, i have 4 gb of ram, 250 gig hdd dual core amd turion 64x2 ,  i have vista home premium 64 bit, which i hate and want to get rid of if i can still do everything i do on here, which is barely play a few games(counter strike source)(starcraft)(diablo), use office(word excel powerpoint etc) and also download and burn music.
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> ShapeShifter499: you can resize the ext3 partition. Make sure your backups are up to date. I suggest redoing the whole lot with proper partitioning
[08:54] <sagaci> !wine
[08:55] <chrionix> coz, oldude67, ActionParsnip : Ahhh, thanks :)
[08:55] <scott1> So i am saying if want to access all my stuff on my windows drive, that came default with this computer- how can i just pull all the stuff i need or, delete everything and reinstall ubuntu fresh ,
[08:55] <oldude67> chrionix, your welcome
[08:55] <coz_> scott1,  first thing is to completely defrag your windows install
[08:55] <Ridders> hey guys, Im testing the alpha OS Jolicloud, which has ubuntu as the back end of it, I cant seem to theme the jolicloud userinterface though, any ideas on how I could do that?
[08:55] <ShapeShifter499> ActionParsnip: so just back up and start over??
[08:55] <kbp> scott1: if you know how to format your hdd, you can install Vista on one partition, Ubuntu on another one, then dual boot and you can switch bw them whenever you like
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> ShapeShifter499: its how i'd tackle it but ext3 can be resized to make room.
[08:56] <scott1> KBP: thats what i have now,
[08:56] <coz_> scott1,   then simply put in the ubuntu live cd and when it comes to the partitioner you simply slide the slider to adjust the amount of free disk spacke for ubuntu
[08:56] <coz_> space
[08:56] <coz_> damn fingers
[08:56] <gogeta> Ridders: thats not a supported ubuntu distro
[08:56] <kbp> a pc can be installed up to 7 operating systems i think....
[08:56] <gogeta> try there irc
[08:56] <Ridders> im on there irc lol
[08:56] <Ridders> no help at all
[08:56] <user_> lsof | grep sdb | pastebinit and mount | pastebinit bring menu of commands
[08:56] <coz_> Riddell,  let me google this one  I have not heard of it before
[08:57] <ShapeShifter499> ok ActionParsnip, sounds good, but may take a bit
[08:57] <Ridders> cheers
[08:57] <scott1> when the computer starts i hav ethe option to choose ubuntu however sometimes since ive installed ubuntu the windows has blue screened a few times and sometimes doesnt load drivers/services(volume doesnt work at all , wifi, critical things) But i dont know how to clear out the windows partition and reallocate all the space
[08:57] <gogeta> kbp: well relly thers no limit but you would need usb drives to do more
[08:57] <kavurt> kbp, I have 9
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> kbp: you can have as may as you have space to fit them on
[08:57] <ShapeShifter499> ActionParsnip: dd command backup sound good?
[08:57] <coz_> Riddell,  there is .. I believe a version of ubuntu for netbooks
[08:57] <ShapeShifter499> or what?
[08:57] <rek> hi, i need proprietary drivers i used with hardy heron now i'm running 9.10 i tried to install some glx packages but in system administration hardware drivers i don't see anything....and my pc after a few minutes stops working and i need to reset help...... bazhang kavurt gogeta and all the channel
[08:58] <shambat> in dhcpd.conf, how can I specify what IPs to hand out based on where the requests for IP is coming from?
[08:58] <scott1> ???????????
[08:58] <user_> still couldnt format the flash drive
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> user_: if you run: mount | pastebinit       give us the link generated
[08:58] <coz_> Riddell,    http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/unr
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> user_: you cant as there is no partition to format
[08:58] <kbp> scott1: when you get to know terminal, and if you are at uni/work and some1 look at your screen, they will scream "wow! that guy is so pro!" or "wow! he's an undercover hacker!"
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> user_: we need that info or we cant progress
[08:59] <scott1> ROFL KBP :P
[08:59] <crzedmonk> hi
[08:59] <scott1> so how can ido this
[08:59] <rek> hi, i need proprietary drivers i used with hardy heron now i'm running 9.10 i tried to install some glx packages but in system administration hardware drivers i don't see anything....and my pc after a few minutes stops working and i need to reset help...... bazhang kavurt gogeta and all the channel
[08:59] <pepperphd> scott1: knowing how to use a terminal is a good way to be sure that people wont touch your computer.
[08:59] <scott1> i need to make this possible for me
[08:59] <crzedmonk> anyone here help me fix flash?
[08:59] <Bryce1> so im trying to install ubuntu 8.1 onto my windows machine after i shrunk my c: drive using windows. how do i tell if ubuntu is using the correct free space?
[09:00] <coz_> Bryce1,  if you are using the live cd  and after clicking the Install icon   you will bet to the partitioner   which will have a "slider"  for adjusting the ubuntu space
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> Bryce1: the installer will see the unallocated space and offer to use it
[09:00] <kavurt> rek, which driver do you need?
[09:01] <spo> actionparsnip, i read that hdparm doesn't really support modifying usb drives
[09:01] <Bryce1> yes i see the guided option for using largest continuous free space but how do i tell if it is using the correct free space?
[09:01] <spo> i wonder what karmic support has for usb drives
[09:01] <rek> proprietary drivers in hardy worked in jaunty there are some problems
[09:01] <sagaci> rek: maybe better asking in #ubuntu+1 ?
[09:01] <ShapeShifter499> ActionParsnip: nvm I found what seems to be a good backup guide here ------> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> spo: thats the only way i know, sorry. karmic questions in #ubuntu+1
[09:01] <kbp> deadly silence on this channel again... phew! :(
[09:01] <rek> ?
[09:01] <oldude67> scott1, you can also look at this as well..http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html
[09:01] <coz_> Bryce1,  let me find a nice tutorial with pictures  hold on
[09:01] <Bryce1> haha k thanks
[09:01] <kbp> oh yea actually I have something to ask
[09:02] <scott1> why does my screen keeping going back and forth with the brightness
[09:02] <Bryce1> well i know how to completely wipe my hard drive but i want to use a certain free space on my c: drive
[09:02] <pepperphd> scott1: your pc is brand new?
[09:02] <scott1> not BRAND*
[09:02] <thedancingdeer> anyone knows how to apply patch for quodlibet's lyrics downloader?
[09:02] <scott1> but
[09:02] <coz_> Bryce1,   look here   http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installing
[09:02] <scott1> 6-9 monthso ld
[09:02] <rek> almost brand?
[09:02] <kbp> when I SSH to server from my desktop to run "sudo apt-get upgrade "; is there away to shut down my computer but the desktop still doing that job? I find it very boring leaving my pc on
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> !patch > thedancingdeer
[09:02] <Bryce1> ok i will thanks
[09:03] <coz_> Bryce1,    study the pictures and text   ...it will become clear as you work withi the live cd
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> kbp: you need to use screen
[09:03] <rek> ActionParsnip:
[09:03] <user_> http://pastebin.com/f3e2aa0f1
[09:03] <rek> hi, i need proprietary drivers i used with hardy heron now i'm running 9.10 i tried to install some glx packages but in system administration hardware drivers i don't see anything....and my pc after a few minutes stops working and i need to reset help...... bazhang kavurt gogeta and all the channel
[09:03] <kbp> *the server (not the desktop, I mistyped)
[09:04] <pepperphd> rek: i had problems with proprietary drivers in 9.10, and after a few days worth of frustration went back to 8.04 =\
[09:04] <Bryce1> ok thanks coz. i have decided to try wubi
[09:04] <scott1> so how can i acess all my windows stuff
[09:04] <scott1> from here?
[09:04] <jason__> ActionParsnip, using disown might also be appropriate here, if a full-blown screen isn't necessary
[09:04] <scott1> and just delete windows 100%
[09:04] <rek> pepperphd:  help
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> user_: ok try: lsof | grep sdb > ~/stuff.txt; pastebinit ~/stuff.txt; rm ~/stuff.txt
[09:04] <coz_> Bryce1,  mm ok I have never tested wubi   so I cant  offer any help with that
[09:05] <rek> we need support ActionParsnip
[09:05] <coz_> Bryce1,    http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Installing_Ubuntu_Linux_on_a_Windows_System_%28Dual_booting%29
[09:05] <user_> is this format the pen
[09:05] <coz_> Bryce1,   there is another site ^^
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> rek: are you by any chance using an nvidia gfx card?
[09:05] <Bryce1> ok thanks alot
[09:05] <coz_> Bryce1,  you will see on that image that the slider has been moved to the left  and turned ubuntu brown  for the ubuntu section
[09:05] <scott1> is there a shortcut for opening terminal?
[09:05] <rek> yep ActionParsnip
[09:06] <coz_> Bryce1,  and all you do is click and move the bar there
[09:06] <scott1> if your just idle at desktop like?
[09:06] <Bryce1> ok
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> rek: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180
[09:06] <rek> ActionParsnip: 32mb
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> rek: then simply reboot
[09:06] <rek> k
[09:06] <kbp> ActionParsnip: so there is no such command that let the server do the job by itself (and we don't need to connect to it ... ?)... that's a little bit inconvenient because everytime sudo apt-get upgrade it takes age to download files (>100MB) for upgrade
[09:06] <rek> i had 173
[09:07] <coz_> Bryce1,   I wouldnt be worried about doing this to that point just for practice  ...nothing is changed until you pass that particular dialog
[09:07] <user_> its resulted http://pastebin.com/f3a552275
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> kbp: cron a job to run the updates
[09:07] <coz_> Bryce1,  you can always click the "reset" button on the system
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> rek: then use 173 if its more compatible than 180
[09:07] <rek> ActionParsnip:  in dev i can see v4l and dvb  that's cool in 8.04 i did't see that
[09:07] <Bryce1> yes true
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> rek: how is that related to nvidia drivers?
[09:08] <Bryce1> im going to try wubi first then ill try dual booting through ubuntu
[09:08] <coz_> Bryce1,  so go through it a few times up to that point and play with the slider until you understand it
[09:08] <jason__> kbp, you can try "$ sudo apt-get upgrade &", followed by "$ disown", although it might need to be "$ sudo disown"
[09:08] <rek> ActionParsnip:  not related but 's cool
[09:08] <scott1> what are somethings i should know basic stuff in terminal?
[09:08] <Bryce1> i dont think you have to partition in wubi
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> rek: err..ok
[09:08] <coz_> Bryce1,  no   you dont
[09:08] <user_> its resulted http://pastebin.com/f3a552275
[09:08] <jason__> kbp, but you still need to connect to the server to run that command; if you want to run updates automatically, go with ActionParsnip's cron suggestion
[09:08] <rek> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] (rev a3) ActionParsnip in this ok?
[09:08] <coz_> Bryce1,  however ...if you are feeling that unsure about the partitioning  dont it
[09:09] <Bryce1> yep
[09:09] <ActionParsnip> rek: yeah i'd go with the 173 as you said: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-173
[09:09] <kbp> jason__ : so if i use sudo apt-get upgrade & disown, then I dont need to keep the connection after i run that command right? I dont mind to connect to it to execute a command
[09:09] <coz_> Bryce1,  although at some point you will want to install it on it's own patition  and avoid wubi  problems  which I have read about
[09:09] <scott1> !sudo
[09:09] <scott1> :)
[09:09] <scott1> !superuser
[09:10] <scott1> !sudo help
[09:10] <Bryce1> well i have a 30GB unallocated space for it im just not sure how to do it exactly
[09:10] <kbp> scott1: the reason there is nearly no virus on Linux is because of this "sudo" thing
[09:10] <scott1> really?
[09:10] <jason__> kbp, that's right.  screen (as ActionParsnip suggested) is another good option; you can reconnect and check on its progress.  With disown, it's difficult to see what's going on with your process after you disown it.
[09:10] <DJones> !root | scott1 Is this the info you were looking for
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> Bryce1: if there is unallocated space on the drive, you can tell the installer to autoassign that space. so you dont have to worry it will be handled for you
[09:10] <scott1> you mean you cant like get viruses like windows on here?
[09:11] <Bryce1> how to i tell the installer to do so?
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> kbp: linux viri do exist. They just arent very wild: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware
[09:11] <coz_> scott1,   there are viruses for linux but they mainly hit server installations if at all
[09:11] <pepperphd> scott1: the vast majority of viruses target windows machines
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> Bryce1: you need to tell it to use the largest contiguous unallocated space
[09:11] <DJones> !virus | scott1
[09:11] <coz_> scott1,  I have never experienced a linux virus  myself
[09:11] <Q|> !ruler
[09:11] <kbp> thank you jason__
[09:12] <Bryce1> yes but it selects a wrong drive
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> Bryce1: or if you partition the space yourself and mark the mount points appropriately, this will work also
[09:12] <coz_> Bryce1,  how many drives do you have ?
[09:12] <Bryce1> 2
[09:12] <user_>  its resulted http://pastebin.com/f3a552275
[09:12] <coz_> Bryce1,  ok you have to separate hard drives?
[09:12] <coz_> Bryce1,   what is on the secondary one?
[09:12] <Bryce1> so unplugg one?
[09:13] <coz_> Bryce1,  no
[09:13] <Bryce1> its a terabyte drive
[09:13] <Bryce1> just a file drive
[09:13] <coz_> Bryce1,   and you have  info already on that drive?
[09:13] <Bryce1> yes
[09:13] <kbp> ActionParsnip: I thought about virus before (and even tried to determine if the packages on repositories are safe - I worry some idiots would put a small script inside their program and put it on repository for people to use)
[09:13] <coz_> Bryce1,  well if it is choosing that drive  just defrag that drive first and then partition part of it ...say 60 gigs   for ubuntu
[09:14] <Bryce1> well i want to use the other drive
[09:14] <coz_> Bryce1,  separate hard drives in a system is a far better way to dual boot
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> kbp: its a possibility, you run that same risk with ppa repos
[09:14] <coz_> Bryce1,   doesn it reconize the primary drive?
[09:14] <Bryce1> yes it recognizes it
[09:14] <gogeta> kbp: lol that has happond the repos have been hacked in the past but they catch it fast
[09:14] <coz_> Bryce1,  ok did you choose that drive as the one the use?
[09:14] <user_> lsof | grep sdb > ~/stuff.txt; pastebinit ~/stuff.txt; rm ~/stuff.txt
[09:14] <user_>  resulted http://pastebin.com/f3a552275
[09:15] <spo> how do i find out the size of a directory?
[09:15] <rek> no proprietary drivers in use help!!!!
[09:15] <rek> installed it
[09:15] <rek> nothing happens
[09:15] <coz_> rek,    lspci | grep -i vga
[09:15] <Bryce1> when i choose the guided for most free space it chooses the terabyte drive first
[09:15] <rek> ActionParsnip:
[09:15] <rek> my pc will stop working soon
[09:15] <jason__> spo, to find the size of all files and folders in /path/to/folder, run "du -hs /path/to/folder"
[09:15] <kbp> ActionParsnip: actually it was just last week or so, there was a guy saying that apport trying to send private info (gmail passwd etc.) to the developers when Firefox crash... I couldnt verify it but a little bit scared so I never click send error report when a program crashes.
[09:15] <rek> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] (rev a3)
[09:16] <rek> it's a problem of 9.04?
[09:16] <Bryce1> i have a terabyte and a 300gb drives the 300gb drive has a 30gb unallocated partition that i want to install ubuntu on
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> spo: du -h /path/to/dir
[09:16] <Londy> Ubuntu isnt all that
[09:16] <coz_> rek,  ok and in the  hardware drivers   did it list the driver?  and which version was it?
[09:16] <rek> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] (rev a3) coz_
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> user_: ok, its not open and not mounted so you should be able to partition it
[09:16] <rek> 173
[09:16] <scott1> so i think i get it
[09:16] <coz_> rek,   although a a geforce2 is rather old
[09:16] <coz_> rek,  ok
[09:16] <scott1> after reading a little bit on sudo,
[09:16] <rek> tried also 18 i think
[09:17] <coz_> rek, did you reboot the system?
[09:17] <rek> 180...but could retry
[09:17] <rek> yep
[09:17] <apparle> which software is used to open PDF in ubuntu
[09:17] <rek> in 8.04 was so simple
[09:17] <apparle> whats the command for it
[09:17] <scott1> Sudo is kind of like a command, that your issueing as root.(admin) so i would have to sudo mount my old C: drive?
[09:17] <coz_> rek,   should be as simple in 9.04 as well
[09:17] <rek> it's a bug?
[09:17] <user_> how to do it, and i want to format the flash drive
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> rek: you must uninstall the old driver before installing a differernt one too. you can use: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia* && sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[09:17] <coz_> rek,   reboot the system again...not just restart x  by the way
[09:18] <rek> ActionParsnip:  it's automatic
[09:18] <rek> i no
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> rek: i dont trust automatic stuff
[09:18] <gogeta> scott1: windows always runs as root linux does not it runs in a user mode
[09:18] <rek> the terminal says removing 180 when installing 173
[09:18] <scott1> windows only runs as root, if you create account to do so,
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> rek: cool, ok then if that doesnt work try the next one down
[09:19] <dayo> maco: never fails. i keep getting messages to Dayofswords in my hilight window :P
[09:19] <gogeta> scott1: thats why stuff like vireses and spywhere are very hard t code for linux
[09:19] <scott1> you can create limited accts
[09:19] <gogeta> to
[09:19] <rek> ?
[09:19] <dayo> 06:59 #ubuntu: < maco> Dayofswords: keeping 1 older kernel is generally good incase a kernel update breaks something and you need an old known-good one
[09:19] <rek> nextone?
[09:19] <dayo> 06:59 #ubuntu: < maco> Dayofswords: if youre on jaunty: "sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic" should remove the -11 kernel
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> scott1: windows doesnt have root, it has administrator
[09:19] <coz_> rek,    open system/administartion/ hardware drivers
[09:19] <scott1> right,
[09:19] <rek> coz_:  there's nothing there
[09:19] <gogeta> scott1: yes but they never work well you normaly have to stay root
[09:19] <scott1> thats what i meant, you can create administrator accounts or that
[09:19] <user_> anybody know here how to format the flash dirve
[09:19] <coz_> rek,  ooooo

[09:35] <ActionParsnip> rek: you'll see Section Device   Identifier "Configured Video Device"
[09:35] <rek> ActionParsnip:  where can i put the line?

[09:40] <ActionParsnip> AcidBurn123: all apps are compiled for both 64bit and 32bit
[09:40] <hoo-hah> hi guys. got a simple question. I've got some scripts in ~/bin that I want to use in X (using run dialog, not terminal) but X doesn't recognise the path I set in shell init scripts
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> AcidBurn123: you can run 32bit apps (like godawful skype) by installing ia32-libs
[09:40] <rek> sys rq ?
[09:40] <hoo-hah> should I just add path in .xinitrc?
[09:40] <toxic> hello, i'm looking for a way to deactivate the secondary clip-board using the middleclic, so it doesn't paste my last selection anymore...

[09:41] <ubuntu> Hello. I recently moved some of my partitions over after deleting a storage one I had, and then... tried to install XP in the space leftover. I failed at that with some arbitrary error and now my linux partition wont boot, either. Tried to reset grub as the bootloader and that worked, but none of the options from there will actually load. Help? xD
[09:41] <roland_> i remember, that there is a console app tgat generates easily remembered passwords.... anyone knows the name=
[09:41] <AcidBurn123> ActionParsnip: Someone told me I won't be able to run flash. (11:40:16 AM) monox: AcidBurn123: you "may" face problems with Free apps that don't support 64-bit, though I've never heard of one. you "will" face problems with several closed apps such as flash player which may fail to work with the provided 32bit-wrapper layer
[09:41] <freakynl> hi, a collegue of mine has issues with the toolbars in openoffice.org. they show up as text only, whilst they are set to icons only (so instead of a B icon you see 'bold text', etc). resetting them to defaults doesn't help either, any ideas?
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> AcidBurn123: you can run native beta 64bit flash, it works REALLY well
[09:41] <ubuntu> And I know I haven't deleted the linux partition, as I can still get in to my stuff from livecd, as I am doing now. =/
[09:42] <AcidBurn123> ActionParsnip: so is the change recommended?
[09:42] <freakynl> ActionParsnip: well, really well is an overstatement but it runs pretty descent. still a huge cpu hog
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> AcidBurn123: deends on use and system. If you have 2Gb ram and only browse the web and chat then 64bit won't give you much
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> freakynl: true ut you can help that by using a slicker browser ;)
[09:43] <user_> how to format flash drive on ubuntu which cannot format on xp pls
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> user_: does the usb device show up in disk manager?
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> user_: in xp
[09:43] <freakynl> ActionParsnip: err so if i change browser flash suddenly will stop using 100% cpu on certain applets?
[09:43] <AcidBurn123> ActionParsnip: today I'll buy another 2GB RAM so I'll have 4GB in total. Also I have two hard drives 500GB + 160GB
[09:43] <user_> yes
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> freakynl: uses a lot less than that in my firepup
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> AcidBurn123: for 4gb ram i'd definately hit 64bit
[09:44] <ShapeShifter499> bye
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> user_: then create the partition in there and format it
[09:44] <AcidBurn123> ActionParsnip: better performance right?
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> AcidBurn123: 32bit can only reference little over 3gb ram
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> AcidBurn123: without pae, 64bit will give you an easier route to getting access
[09:45] <rek> doesn't work and gave mme problems at  the boot such as busy display etcccc
[09:45] <hoo-hah> hi guys. got a simple question. I've got some scripts in ~/bin that I want to use in X (using run dialog, not terminal) but X doesn't recognise the path I set in shell init scripts. Should I set the path again in .xinitrc?
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> rek: then its the wroing version of the nvidia driver

[10:05] <Submarine> hi there

[10:06] <Gnea> daivana: that's a socket, not a netstream
[10:06] <i77> Is there a way to get the latest version of transmission on ubuntu hardy heron?
[10:06] <daivana> I would know what IP is connected to my PC

[10:15] <albech> what is the difference between a ubuntu server installation and a debian server installation?? Would they not consist of the same packages?
[10:15] <albech> i can see the difference on the desktop
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> albech: different repos
[10:16] <eric___> quit
[10:16] <eric___> exit
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> albech: at a fundamental level there would be very little difference
[10:16] <albech> ActionParsnip: ok, thats what i though
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> albech: but then again most server installs are very similar even with different distros
[10:17] <albech> ActionParsnip: not trying to flame here or anything.. just curious.. i will stick with ubuntu in that case for my server
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> albech: i didnt think you were flaming. i thought it was a valid point
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> albech: i use gentoo on my fileserver but it only runs samba and transmission
[10:18] <ziroday> Hi, what is recommended for a Broadcom BCM4322 card, the B43 or STA driver?
[10:18] <albech> ActionParsnip: well i guess what distinguish the different the dists then would be the package manager and i do like the debian/ubuntu approach over others
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | ziroday
[10:18] <ziroday> ActionParsnip: I've been through there thanks
[10:18] <albech> ActionParsnip: i use gentoo as well on my embedded systems and my server, but i like the idea of LTS for a Xen server
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> ziroday: the firmware cutter wil give you the driver
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> ziroday: try both, see which gives you what you need
[10:20] <reves> why the hell does X cut off the bottom quater of my screens when i rotate a twinview session nvidia driven pair of monitors into portrait?  i am about to throw in the towel
[10:20] <ziroday> ActionParsnip: so will the STA driver. I'm asked if anyone knows the pro's and con's of each. Doesn't matter I've just looked it up
[10:20] <reves> and i guarantee nobody here will be able to answer this question. i have searched my ass off
[10:20] <Submarine> ziroday, the wl driver
[10:20] <ziroday> ActionParsnip: and that wikipage is woefully out of date
[10:20] <ziroday> Submarine: came to the same conclusion :)
[10:21] <Submarine> ziroday, basically, in my experience, none of the drivers works properly
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> ziroday: then update it, thats the idea of wikis
[10:21] <Submarine> ziroday, for some reason the wl driver does not receive broadcasts, apparently
[10:21] <ziroday> ActionParsnip: what to do you think I'm doing :)
[10:21] <uzi__> just a quick question, anyone know if reconstructor is available in ubuntu repository?
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> ziroday: i assume nothing ;)
[10:21] <ziroday> Submarine: broadcasts?
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> !find construct
[10:21] <Submarine> ziroday, ndiswrapper was really really slow (I think I'll have to retry it now that I've set the kernel to noapic nolapic, I suspect it lost irqs)
[10:22] <Submarine> ziroday, well, broadcast packets, including ARP
[10:22]  * Gnea wonders why pulseaudio and this audigy just do not want to get along
[10:22] <ziroday> Submarine: ah right, no such issues here :)
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: its an audigy is my answer
[10:23] <Submarine> ziroday, well, this prevents other hosts from sshing to your machine
[10:23] <ObamaFly> Has anyone found a workaround for catalyst in 9.04?
[10:23] <Submarine> among other problems
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> ObamaFly: could use the open driver
[10:26] <ObamaFly> ActionParsnip: Yeah thats what its looking like... last time i used the open driver i couldnt do anything graphically intensive
[10:27] <ObamaFly> its garbage
[10:27] <Submarine> it can also \\\\\\\\\\\
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> ObamaFly: thats why i always always buy nvidia :)
[10:27] <ObamaFly> ActionParsnip: Unfortunately its about 7 years too late for that
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> gotcha
[10:28] <ObamaFly> :/ and im dirt poor

[10:29] <Kingsy101> can someone help me, when I first installed ubuntu 8.10 it said in the top right hand corner that a visual update was available, so I installed it and it made a off

[10:32] <joaopinto> KingOfDos|lap, gdm as nothing to do with updates notification

[10:33] <wers> I am on an intel X3100. i used to have compiz all the time. A while ago, I accidentally changed my visual effects to "None" I can't Turn compiz on with GNOME's Appearance dialog anymore. I should use fusion-icon for that but the setting isnt saved for fresh sessions. any idea?
[10:33] <Kingsy101> joaopinto - I know, but do you know what I mean about the off button with log out written in the top right hand corner ?
[10:33] <joaopinto> vadi01, you would need to symlink their desktop dir to yours, but they will also have write acess to your desktop dir
[10:33] <vadi01> joaopinto: ok. whats the command?
[10:34] <vadi01> joaopinto: actually the users are getting authentication via an AD server...
[10:34] <joaopinto> vadi01, is not a simple command, you need to understand how a symbolic link works

[10:35] <vadi01> gnome-session-wrapper no such file or directory
[10:35] <Tamnakz> Can you use ekiga to chat on aim, yahoo or msn?
[10:35] <joaopinto> shay26, man wget
[10:35] <joaopinto> shay26, you want wget -O filename
[10:36] <Tamnakz> *can you use ekiga to do video chat on aim or yahoo?
[10:36] <joaopinto> Tamnakz, no, those networks use different protocols
[10:36] <TheNano_> Tamnakz: yes
[10:36] <Tamnakz> thenano: how?
[10:36] <TheNano_> Tamnakz: yes, I think it can use a proxy to rech them
[10:36] <buch> where do you actually find those open drivers?
[10:36] <aguitel> someone use firefox 3.6 ?
[10:37] <Tamnakz> thenano is it somethign you could walk me through setting up? or help me find instructions?
[10:37] <Kingsy101> has anyone got any ideas about my issue?
[10:37] <TheNano_> Tamnakz: wait plz
[10:38] <voodoor> Is there not an ncurses interface for selecting the apt mirror to use?
[10:38] <joaopinto> voodoor, no, selecting an apt mirror is just as simple as editing /etc/apt/sources.list, any console editor will do
[10:40] <Kingsy101> is this is a stupid question to be asking or something?  I didnt do it intentional tbh, I was trying to get apache and php installed and somehow it got deleted I have no idea how
[10:42] <nahoj> joaopinto: ok ty
[10:42] <aguitel> kavurt: if you enable others repo ,there is firefox 3.6
[10:42] <Submarine> nahoj, both ntfs and vfat work
[10:42] <ObamaFly> isnt there an initial setup for xorg.conf since im gonna be using the open driver
[10:42] <joaopinto> Kingsy101, that is the concerning paart "I have no idea how", packages are not removed unless you explicitely agreed with it
[10:42] <Submarine> nahoj, ntfs may incur some efficiency penalty due to the use of the 'fuse' driver
[10:43] <vadi01> how do i access a network file from command prompt say on ip <IP_ADDRESS>?
[10:43] <Magliadoro> !fuse
[10:44] <Kingsy101> joaopinto - brb its installed, I guess I need a re-start
[10:45] <TheNano_> Tamnakz: I may have mistaken ekiga with another service, I could find the other one maybe , but there is a service called gtalk2voip that maybe can be a help
[10:47] <Kingsy101> hmmm apt-get instal ubuntu-desktop didnt bring back that panel.. anyone got any other ideas ?

[10:48] <joaopinto> !resetpanels | Kingsy101
[10:49] <Kingsy101> rashed2020 - its a panel that got installed as a type of update when I first installed the operating system, it was to the right of the clock, and said log out
[10:49] <Kingsy101> once you clicked it it gave options to log out re-start shutdown etc etcd
[10:50] <rashed2020> Does joaopinto's suggestion fix it?
[10:50] <Kingsy101> 1 sec I am doing it now
[10:50] <ObamaFly> I seem to remember there being a initial configuration  for xorg.conf in terminal that asked a series of questions with prompts and generated a semi-configured xorg.conf
[10:50] <ObamaFly> i dont remember the command tho
[10:50] <rashed2020> joaopinto: I get "init: unable to send message: Connection refused"
[10:51] <joaopinto> ObamaFly, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg did that in the past, I am not sure it works since most of the config is out of xorg now
[10:51] <joaopinto> rashed2020, sudo
[10:51] <aguitel> joaopinto: ta de pinto duro nessa hoa?
[10:51] <joaopinto> !pt | aguitel
[10:51] <Kingsy101> joaopinto - cool that command fixed it, all my short cuts are gone but thats ok they can easily be added again.. thanks :)
[10:51] <ObamaFly> it does still work
[10:51] <ObamaFly> thx
[10:52] <rashed2020> joaopinto: Same =/ Not it also has "sudo: unable to resolve host (none)"
[10:52] <ObamaFly> i didnt want to start from scratch this takes long enough as it is lol
[10:52] <Tamnakz> Can someone help me get ekiga to work for video chat in aim or yahoo?
[10:52] <joaopinto> rashed2020, since you override the regular init I am not sure you can resume the boot
[10:53] <rashed2020> Bah, thanks.
[10:53] <joaopinto> Tamnakz, like I said 1 hour ago, it is not possible
[10:53] <joaopinto> rashed2020, it is possible when you start into single user mode, but that is a different story :)
[10:53] <Tamnakz> as other have mentoined, and as many websites tell me, it is. I simply don't know enough to do it on my own
[10:54] <Submarine> rashed2020, you cannot continue normal bootup after doing init=/bin/bash
[10:54] <joaopinto> Tamnakz, if may sites tell you it is possible theren there should be instructions there ;)
[10:55] <Tamnakz> there are, but in a computer language far beyond my knowledge
[10:55] <gauravsrf> hi
[10:55] <moDumass> heyhey all
[10:56] <moDumass> any idea how to graph dynamic data in calc?
[10:56] <^Phantom^> Why doesn't ubuntu support scanners?
[10:56] <gauravsrf> did any one have any idea about how to view windows remote desktop in linux ??
[10:56] <TheNano_> Tamnakz: it was gizmo on linux I had in my mind i guess ,sorry,  search for gizmo5 .
[10:56] <iceroot> Phil_Ewert: why are use saying something like that?
[10:56] <iceroot> Phil_Ewert: wrong nick
[10:56] <oguncak> hi evrybody.. when will gnome 2.27 be released?
[10:56] <rashed2020> joaopinto: "exec init" worked.
[10:57] <iceroot> ^Phantom^: what do you mean? of course ubuntu support scanner
[10:57] <rashed2020> Submarine: Sorry, the above was meant for you ("exec init" resumed bootup)
[10:57] <joaopinto> Tamnakz, if someone here knows about it, they will just write on the same language ;)
[10:57] <joaopinto> Tamnakz, check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=414121&page=2
[10:57] <joaopinto> ^Phantom^, ubuntu, more precisely supports scannners, just not every model
[10:57] <joaopinto> ups, more precisely linux
[10:57] <Webu> Hello, what's the recommended way to execute a long command from rc.local as a different user? I mean it would get executed at every boot as user "vlc" for example.
[10:58] <^Phantom^> Memorex 6142u Scanner is mine...
[10:58] <Webu> I've tried su vlc -c "command", but it doesn't seem to work very well :-(
[10:58] <joaopinto> gauravsrf, Applications -> Internet -> Remote Desktop
[10:58] <Tamnakz> joaopinto: any ideas on IM chat with video? my brother can't do audio in iraq
[10:58] <iceroot> oguncak: http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.26/#rnlookingforward
[10:58] <joaopinto> rashed2020, great :)
 tried but not able to scan the local windows computer so any guideline
[10:59] <joaopinto> Tamnakz, skype
[10:59] <^Phantom^> Dang GIMP woke up my mom and sister.
[10:59] <joaopinto> gauravsrf, you need to know the hostname/IP of the target computer, it does not scan the network
[10:59] <iceroot> ^Phantom^: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html
[10:59] <Tamnakz> can skype talk to services other than skype?
[11:00] <pc65> ciao
[11:00] <gauravsrf> joaopinto: tried but not able to scan the local windows computer so any guide
[11:00] <joaopinto> Tamnakz, no, you asked for an IM solution, I told you, skype :)
[11:00] <iceroot> Tamnakz: to real phones + mobiles phones but nothing like icq, irc, yahoo and so on
[11:00] <Tamnakz> ok
[11:00] <pc65> xdcc/send @50
[11:00] <wers> i accidentally changed my "Visual Effects" to "Normal". I can't activate compiz again using the Appearance dialog. Any idea why?
[11:00] <joaopinto> gauravsrf, we are not talking the same language, using remote desktop has nothing to do with scanning
[11:00] <joaopinto> gauravsrf, you need to know the IP address of the system you want to connect to
[11:00] <Tamnakz> alright, but skype will do chat, with video?
[11:01] <iceroot> Tamnakz: yes
[11:01] <joaopinto> Tamnakz, yes it does
[11:01] <Kingsy101> ok now for the actual issue that started all of this --> is anyone in here familiar with apache? check this out ---> http://pastie.org/585693 <--- the command that caused it is at the top of the pastie
[11:01] <gauravsrf> joaopinto: tried but not able to scan the local windows computer so any guide
[11:02] <^Phantom^> Aww, unsupported. :(
[11:02] <TheNano_> Tamnakz: not natively no, but there is other program who can talk to skype,skype can't chat with video , it need to use a call and then you will have video.  take a look at gizmo please , it has video as well , runs under linux and windows and can chat with every IM out there
[11:02] <Guest8193> I need a help with sound card
[11:02] <Tamnakz> thenano_ gizmo5?
[11:02] <^Phantom^> Guess I'll have to use my Vista VM to use it.

[11:07] <joaopinto> TheNano_, right, but you really should be concerned on providing a working solution, otherwise it will just get frustrated by yet another fail ;)

[11:10] <WinZ> is there a way to search for .doc files (which are in 1251 for compatibility) by content?
[11:10] <czajkowski> Guest8193: yes, lspci
[11:10] <WinZ> ubuntu, utf8
[11:10] <Submarine> Guest8193, this command outputs a list of PCI devices, one of them is the sound card
[11:10] <WinZ> .docs are created by OpenOffice Writer
[11:10] <shane_> would anyone be able to tell me where the hell i can find video drivers for this laptop?
[11:11] <joaopinto> Kingsy101, it is just as simple as: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5
[11:11] <Submarine> shane_, lspci and tell us the graphics card
[11:11] <kewin> hi
[11:11] <Guest8193> i wrote it and it's a long list there
[11:11] <shane_> how do i figure all that out..i just found the laptop in my storage
[11:11] <TheNano_> Tamnakz: will be back in 30 min, sorry
[11:11] <Submarine> guest8193, only one line refers to an "audio device"
[11:11] <kholerabbi> Hey, is there a way to share a folder of music between user accounts (on a single computer)??
[11:11] <psypher246> hi all. pls help with virt-manager (kvm) is there anything special that needs to be done to get install sources OTHER than http to work. cannot choose para virtualization or full virtualization as vm method or iso's as install source. thanks
[11:11] <Submarine> shane_, type lspci
[11:11] <Tamnakz> I've got skype going, and it recognizes my cam, but how do I get it to run in chat?
[11:12] <Tamnakz> thenano_ I appreciate it, but I'll be asleep
[11:12] <Guest8193> czajkowski: its long list out there
[11:12] <Myrtti> Guest8193: use paste.ubuntu.com to show it to us
[11:12] <Guest8193> Submarine: ok i look
[11:12] <czajkowski> Guest8193: onely one line as Submarine refers to Audio device
[11:12] <iceroot> Kingsy101: for installing lamp you only need "sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server" also also phpmyadmin if you like. dont need a tutorial for this
[11:12] <czajkowski> Guest8193: when folks say your name it should highlight, that means they are talking/adressing you
[11:13] <czajkowski> Guest8193: that way you'll know who to reply to
[11:13] <Tamnakz> can anyone help me get video to work in skype while doing chat? not calls?
[11:13] <Kingsy101> iceroot - ok I have removed both apache2 and php5
[11:13] <Submarine> shane_, it's totally impossible to do stuff about drivers without knowing the actual device, and lspci will tell you the device
[11:13] <Guest8193>   Submarine: this is it:   Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP73 High Definition Audio (rev a1)
[11:14] <Kingsy101> iceroot - I wanted php5 apache and phpmyadmin installed
[11:14] <iceroot> Tamnakz: where is the problem to call a person? its free
[11:14] <Kingsy101> iceroot - so what would be the command I would use ?
[11:14] <iceroot> Kingsy101: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 phpmyadmin
[11:14] <shane_> li just typed it im tryin to figure out which one is the video card...never used xubuntu before :(
[11:14] <Tamnakz> my brother in the middle east in the millitary, he's not allowed to do audio
[11:14] <iceroot> Kingsy101: but you also need mysql-server for phpmyadmin
[11:14] <iceroot> Kingsy101: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 phpmyadmin mysql-server
[11:14] <joaopinto> Tamnakz, you need to do a call, if you dont want audio just set "mute"
[11:15] <Submarine> Guest8193, try running alsamixer and seeing if there is no volume level set to 0, like "PCM" or similar
[11:15] <Tamnakz> joaopinto when I do it gives an audio playback error and ends the call?
[11:15] <Kingsy101> iceroot - it keeps saying Selecting previously deselected package php5-gd.   how do I do a total re-install ?
[11:15] <joaopinto> Tamnakz, that means you didn't setup the audio device properly
[11:15] <Kingsy101> so it installs a totally new version ?
[11:15] <joaopinto> Tamnakz, go to options, set output to pulseaudio, and input to your hw device
[11:15] <Tamnakz> joaopinto working on that now
[11:16] <iceroot> Kingsy101: its ook so, no need a reinstall
[11:16] <Guest8193> this is what i have writen when i wrote alsamixer
[11:16] <Guest8193> function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[11:16] <Submarine> wow
[11:17] <Guest8193> is it bad?
[11:17] <Kingsy101> iceroot - ok everything is installed now
[11:17] <Submarine> Guest8193: it's like the sound driver is not loaded!
[11:17] <Kingsy101> do you need to the start the apache package or does it start by default ?
[11:17] <iceroot> Kingsy101: fine you can access apache with http://localhst
[11:17] <Tamnakz> joaopinto it gives me 'problem with audio capture'
[11:17] <iceroot> Kingsy101: fine you can access apache with http://localhost
[11:17] <Tamnakz> how do I make sure it's seeing my mic?
[11:17] <Guest8193> seem like it, what now?
[11:17] <Kingsy101> iceroot - I get a failed to connect message
[11:18] <Kingsy101> iceroot - Page Load Errro
[11:18] <Kingsy101> Error
[11:18] <Submarine> Guest8193: lsmod|grep snd
[11:18] <iceroot> Kingsy101: what is the output of  sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 status
[11:18] <Submarine> Guest8193, this lists the drivers and only keeps those related to sound (snd)
[11:18] <Submarine> guest8193, what does it say? is there snd_hda_intel in there?
[11:19] <Kingsy101> iceroot - that doesnt give an output
[11:19] <Kingsy101> it just returns to the next line
[11:19] <scalar_> Hey all
[11:19] <Guest8193> no
[11:19] <iceroot> Kingsy101: ps aux | grep apache2  is there output?
[11:19] <grobda24> Why would my pulseaudio sound stop when I switch to a virtual console outside of the GUI ?
