[10:28] <jazzfish> hey guys - I've been struggling to get my wireless working on a Samsung R522 on a fresh install of Lucid and stumbled on this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/508746  Can someone help with installing the fix from lucid proposed?
[10:28] <bullgard4> !prefix | secon
[10:28] <secon> okay
[10:28] <EarlOfEgo> is there a command to see all groups on my pc?
[10:28] <llutz_> bullgard4: wrong place here, ask maintainers<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[10:29] <llutz_> EarlOfEgo: getent group
[10:29] <EarlOfEgo> thx
[10:29] <Myth17> Exploiter, the problem stays
[10:29] <collabra> secon: if no one can help you here, i'd suggest a channel more adept to your problem,... like ##linux or something.
[10:29] <thedoble> coz_ the installer is running now
[10:29] <secon> thx all
[10:30] <Myth17> also when i press L-shift alone it gives me m otherwise works properly..same for right shift
[10:30] <Myth17> :|
[10:30] <bullgard4> llutz_: Why is #ubuntu the wrong place? I am subsrcibing to about 15 mailing lists and even these lists I am not able to follow thoroughly.
[10:30] <collabra> !keyboard
[10:30] <collabra> Myth17: ^ see above
[10:30] <lipro> ciao
[10:31] <collabra> Myth17: you are probably using the wrong keymap
[10:31] <Myth17> collabra, how could keyboard layout change on its ownu?
[10:31] <collabra> Myth17: how come your shift key is making M's?
[10:32] <collabra> Myth17: i don't know either way
[10:32] <fanti> hello! i just installed ati's fglrx driver; 3d accel works _very_ fast now, but 2d desktop effects are slower than before with radeon driver. any idea?
[10:32] <Myth17> collabra, i notice another thing..sometimEs key gets typed in small letters and sometimEs in caps! is my keyboard jammedm? m:|
[10:33] <collabra> Myth17: very possible
[10:33] <Myth17> cant be a software issue
[10:33] <Myth17> its weird
[10:33] <collabra> Myth17: if it's not software,... it's hardware.
[10:34] <llutz_> bullgard4: did you run update-dlocatedb manually to check?
[10:35] <rww> fanti: Sounds about right. fglrx's 2D acceleration support isn't as good as radeon's.
[10:36] <MrRoboto> what is the most used programming language to make software for ubuntu, c++?
[10:37] <Shaul> MrRoboto: hard to say
[10:37] <el_seano> I thought it was C.
[10:37] <thedoble> coz_ it hasn't asked me for what packages I want to install yet - it says its installing the base system
[10:37] <llutz_> next kernel will be written in python :( (scnr)
[10:38] <LinuxVirgin> Hello
[10:38] <el_seano> is python kind of bloated for something like a kernel?
[10:38] <el_seano> is==isn't
[10:38] <bullgard4> llutz_: Yes I did and re-checked.
[10:38] <Shaul> just in time kernel :D
[10:39] <llutz_> bullgard4: file a bug-report then
[10:39] <MrRoboto> can I create graphical ubuntu programs with ruby?
[10:39] <Shaul> MrRoboto: ofcourse, but that's not ubuntu thing really
[10:39] <bullgard4> llutz_: Yes, I will. --  Thank you for your help.
[10:39] <coz_> thedoble,  right..it wont ask for some time...base system installs  then you will get a list  of choices in a while
[10:39] <thedoble> coz_ ok no worries, cheers
[10:39] <MrRoboto> I know, Im just taking a course in it so I thought I should give it a try at ubuntu to make ubuntu programs
[10:40] <coz_> thedoble,  the real nice thing is that all files are downloaded and are current so no updating after you boot into the system
[10:40] <thedoble> coz_ yeah, thats pretty cool - I will keep the mini cd in mind from now on
[10:40] <LinuxVirgin> Can anyone help me. When I first load up my computer in the morning I cannot get onto the internet using WifFI. I have to plug in the cable.  The Network manager seems so tempermental?
[10:43] <collabra> LinuxVirgin: i had to edit my: /etc/network/interfaces :to get mine to be consistant,.... do a: sudo pico /etc/network/interfaces     <---- and add: auto wlan0         at the end..... wlan0 should reflect your wireless,... wlan0, wlan1, wlan2,... etc.

[10:45] <neltharion> Hey guys, give me a good link on how to install Windows 7 in Ubuntu(dual boot) from partitioning to installing  GRUB. I don't want to mess it up. I already google it so don't tell me to google it again.
[10:45] <slackie> i'm running lucid, never seen something like this before
[10:45] <quiescens> habl: you can do "wine explorer /desktop=[id of your choosing],[height]x[width] [program]"
[10:45] <collabra> LinuxVirgin: it's pretty simple,... but if you don't feel comfortable with that,.... i'm not sure i can help you.
[10:46] <habl> quiescens: sounds nice, but is it also possible to set that as default setting?
[10:46] <LinuxVirgin> Is it possible collabra to use a private room and go step by step
[10:46] <collabra> LinuxVirgin: sure,... I'll im you
[10:47] <LinuxVirgin> Thank you

[10:58] <kandinski> Gerwin: we aussies live in the future!
[11:00] <thedoble> coz_ any thoughts ?
[11:01] <coz_> thedoble,  yeah choose only the ubuntu desktop

[11:01] <coz_> thedoble,  then hit enter
[11:02] <coz_> thedoble,  then sit back and wait...:)
[11:02] <noob-tux> just wanna let u all know that it's john lennon's boithday! ;) ubuntu + beatles music = orgasm! love to work things on my distro! \m/

[11:04] <chu> lol

[11:05] <novns> *say
[11:05] <rlp10> Can I re-phrase my question: how do you run a remote application using ssh so that it is displayed on the remote machine?
[11:05] <brrrt> i just upgraded to 10.10 - now everytime i after boot i have to manually ifdown/ifup eth0 to get dns-resolution working, any ideas how to fix this?
[11:07] <jrib> rlp10: set the DISPLAY variable appropriately and run the app
[11:08] <jrib> rlp10: erm sorry, I read that as "on the server" somehow.  For remote, just use "ssh -X" when connecting
[11:09] <collabra> !wireless > collabra
[11:09] <rlp10> jrib: thanks for your help, I did mean the first, and changing the DISPLAY is working
[11:12] <brrrt> how do i set up dns-resolution in maverick?

[11:19] <Ddorda> how do i make the blutooth to be disabled on startup?

[11:20] <snikker> jrib: i've typed <IP_ADDRESS>:8095 in the browser..
[11:20] <coz_> Ddorda,  you can go to system/preferences/startup applications
[11:20] <collabra> http://www.ubuntu.com/server/get-ubuntu/download  <------------------------sambal
[11:20] <sambal> can i get media from ubuntu?
[11:20] <brrrt> can someone please explain to me: how to setup dns resolution in maverick?

[11:20] <snikker> jrib:it this worked fine in lucid..
[11:20] <jrib> snikker: are you using a stock apache2 install from ubuntu's repositories with no modifications to the configuration?
[11:20] <jrib> snikker: erm, and what version are you using now?
[11:20] <snikker> maverik
[11:20] <coz_> Ddorda,    dont need to remove it just uncheck it

[11:21] <snikker> jrib: ah, ok..
[11:21] <sambal> hello
[11:21] <snikker> jrib: but maybe it's only a configuration problem..
[11:21] <sambal> thats from AMD
[11:21] <Ddorda> coz_: i meant only to disable the bluetooth, so when i boot i'll have the icon but bluetooth disabled
[11:21]  * soreau reboots coz_
[11:21] <sambal> i need for intel boards...
[11:22] <jrib> sambal: "amd64" is simply the name used for 64-bit
[11:22] <snikker> jrib: because i've use the default config with the package..
[11:22] <jrib> snikker: maverick support in #ubuntu+1
[11:22] <sambal> k
[11:22] <snikker> jrib: ok :)

[11:22] <coz_> Ddorda,   mm  I am not sure I understand...you want bluetooth to be disabled but still have the icon?  why?
[11:23] <coz_> Ddorda,  do you intend to use bluetooth during a session at particular points?
[11:23] <sambal> i need names of server intel boards supported by ubuntu
[11:23] <coz_> sambal,   here is one link   http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/
[11:24] <erUSUL> sambal: all of them? motherboards are usually not an issue in linux

[11:24] <gege> hehe
[11:24] <nneewwbiue> hihi
[11:25] <zfe> anybody can help me
[11:25] <zfe> with compiz and ubuntu 10.10?
[11:25] <nneewwbiue> does anyone know why my lappy cant install ubuntu ?
[11:25] <coz_> zfe,   I didnt see your question
[11:25] <estres> hi there, does any on know what will be the version of the kernel in the new release of ubuntu?
[11:25] <gege> wei
[11:25] <nneewwbiue> my friend said its because i have different chipset on my lappy
[11:25] <jrib> !10.10 | zfe
[11:25] <zfe> coz_, it seems i can't start desktop effects
[11:25] <zfe> ok
[11:26] <jrib> nneewwbiue: you need to tell us what happens when you try (on ONE line)
[11:26] <Ddorda> coz_: so what you suggest? it should be disabled and i'll open it from where?
[11:26] <nneewwbiue> jrib : when i run 1st boot on my cd
[11:26] <coz_> zfe,  ok   which graphics card do you have on that system.? if you don know open a terminal and copy paste t his command    lspci | grep -i vga
[11:26] <nneewwbiue> there is a blank page
[11:26] <coz_> Ddorda,  hold on
[11:26] <nneewwbiue> but when i try to my PC its run smoothly
[11:26] <zfe> coz_, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Manhattan [Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series]
[11:26] <Clogbuntoo> 0hai
[11:27] <coz_> Ddorda,   you could run  bluetooth-properties  to get to it I believe
[11:27] <Clogbuntoo> i'm under Ubuntu8 livecd now. How to save a "session", and how to resume it later? (without installing)
[11:27] <Ddorda> coz_: thanks
[11:28] <Clogbuntoo> |_|
[11:28] <coz_> zfe,  ok  you need to install the driver for that card and I would go to the  #radeon  channel for that  unless someone here is an ati  expert on driver  installation  ... I know very little about ati graphics
[11:28] <coz_> Ddorda,   no problem
[11:28] <zfe> ok, thanks
[11:29] <zfe> coz_, the weird point is that glxgears works
[11:29] <ikonia> Clogbuntoo: you won't be able to do that really as your running in memory/from a cd, so there is nowhere to save to
[11:29] <coz_> zfe,  ah mm  and when you go to system/preferences/appearance and the visual effets tab...what is ticked there?
[11:29] <zfe> coz_, "none"
[11:29] <zfe> and when i try to tick something else
[11:29] <Clogbuntoo> there's only one Linux that has livecd able to save session. if I was a coder, I'd add that feature from Puppy Linux to Ubuntu, making it Flashbuntu
[11:29] <zfe> "cannot enable desktop effects"
[11:30] <ikonia> Clogbuntoo: well, you're not and it's not added
[11:30] <coz_> zfe,   ok  I would join me in #compiz channle and actually  talk with soreau  if he is available  ..he is our ati expert with compiz  I am generally the nvidia guy :)
[11:30] <nneewwbiue> well anyone know where can i get ubuntu latest driver source that support chipset sis
[11:31] <nneewwbiue> ?
[11:31] <jrib> !persistence | Clogbuntoo
[11:31] <Clogbuntoo> Puppy Linux is the only Linux distro that saves "profiles" even in live mode
[11:31] <coz_> nneewwbiue,   oooo  sis drivers  you understand are NOT going to allow for 3d acceleration ...yes?
[11:31] <ikonia> Clogbuntoo: you're not using puppylinux so please stop referencing it
[11:31] <guntbert> nneewwbiue: please tell your problem in *one* line -- don't press <enter> in between
[11:31] <zfe> ok coz_ thanks a lot
[11:31] <coz_> zfe,   if you are not sure...where you type here to ask a questions simply type   /join #compiz
[11:32] <nneewwbiue> coz_ : it is the problem allow 3d acceleration or not
[11:32] <Clogbuntoo> Also, is there a GNOME set that looks similar to Luna XP Silver?
[11:32] <nneewwbiue> but the problem is i cant install ubuntu on my lappy
[11:32] <nneewwbiue> because my lappy using sis chipset
[11:32] <ikonia> Clogbuntoo: look on sites such as gnome-look.org lots of themes around
[11:32] <coz_> nneewwbiue, oooo
[11:32] <coz_> nneewwbiue,  that one I cant help with but let me search hold on
[11:33] <nneewwbiue> when i try run on 1st boot with ubuntu cd driver
[11:33] <nneewwbiue> the page was blank
[11:33] <guntbert> !enter > nneewwbiue
[11:34] <coz_> nneewwbiue,  ok there is an xserver-xorg-video-sis  installed by default  so first thing I would check is reboot the live cd... when you see the  keyboard icon at the bottom hit  enter and choose   check cd for errors
[11:34] <LinuxVirgin> Does anyone else experience the different icons on the top/bottom bar move around?
[11:35] <LinuxVirgin> on there own
[11:35] <LinuxVirgin> ?
[11:35] <sambal> can you give me names of intel server boards??
[11:35] <ikonia> sambal: no, this isn't a hardware channel
[11:35] <ikonia> sambal: try ##hardware
[11:35] <novns> LibertyZero, this is so called ubuntu magic
[11:35] <chu> LinuxVirgin: When you restart your computer?
[11:35] <sambal> link for hardware channel?
[11:36] <ikonia> sambal: ##hardware, I've just told you
[11:36] <chu> sambal: He gave the link, it was ##hardware
[11:36] <LinuxVirgin> Yes and when I change the screen resolution
[11:36] <nneewwbiue> coz_ : the same problem appears , because i even cant hit that icon ,
[11:36] <Clogbuntoo> Ikonia, what do you think of lesser builds?
[11:36] <thedoble> coz_ ok the install has completed -looks like its booted up OK, im gonna give it a go and see if there's any problems
[11:37] <coz_> thedoble,  very cool
[11:37] <chu> LinuxVirgin: Umm, hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's an issue that's been around for a while...
[11:37] <coz_> nneewwbiue,  ooo this is not good news  hold on
[11:37] <ikonia> Clogbuntoo: I'm not interested in other distros in this channel, this channel is for ubuntu support only
[11:37] <LinuxVirgin> Well at least I know now
[11:37] <LinuxVirgin> thank you
[11:38] <Clogbuntoo> of the lesser builds, in my opinion, the best is Puppy Linux
[11:38] <chu> LinuxVirgin: Do you use a launcher application, like gnome-do?
[11:38] <chu> lol
[11:39] <LinuxVirgin> chu. not sure what you mean
[11:39] <LinuxVirgin> chu, I have a dual boot. I install with wubi
[11:40] <chu> LinuxVirgin: Well, because of that issue (and I'm slightly OCD) I got one of hese launcher applications and just removed the icons. Rather then clicking the icon I just type Super+Space and type in (for instance) firefox to launch firefox rather than using the launcher icons which would move.
[11:40] <RunnerMan> hello
[11:40] <coz_> nneewwbiue,  ok when you boot the live cd  hit shift  or shift+e  to get to the menu and you want to then hit  e  I believe in order to change boot sequence and you want to  remove  "quiet splash"  witih nomodeset
[11:40] <coz_> nneewwbiue,  see if that allows the boot and install
[11:40] <thedoble> coz_ yep looks all good im just gonna put in my graphics drivers and it should be fine, thanks for your help!!
[11:41] <nneewwbiue> ok
[11:41] <LinuxVirgin> chu: i'll look into that.
[11:41] <nneewwbiue> i will try coz_
[11:41] <coz_> thedoble,   yeah I prefer the minimal because of it direct download install
[11:41] <nneewwbiue> thanks for the help
[11:41] <coz_> nneewwbiue,   cool let someone know if that works for you   I have to break here :)
[11:41] <LinuxVirgin> Although the gui desktop is helping me transition from windows
[11:42] <thedoble> coz_ yeah thats handy to know, cheers

[11:46] <chu> kurrata: The workspace switcher?
[11:46] <HaCkOr_Aneesh> Hey Guyz This is ExP|i(t-Hax0r
[11:46] <llutz_> kurrata: less/more are pager
[11:46] <kurrata> chu you could call it like that to i guess
[11:48] <chu> You know kurrata, that's a really good question... Usually you just click on the about message and it gives you the application name, but in this case, no...

[11:59] <zyx> hi, I'd like to convert an *.avi movie to *.wmv, to play it in my Xbox. Max size should be under 2GB (cuz It'd be on a pendrive). As far as I know ithis can be done with ffmpeg. How do i do that?
[12:00] <Papyros> jatt, thanks..
[12:00] <Papyros> my firefox is named namoraka , after an update.. how can i change this ?
[12:00] <zyx> you are using a beta software.
[12:00] <zyx> Papyros
[12:00] <rappyneedshelp_> i made a script to open in xterm and hold "xterm - hold ~/filetoopen" but i cannot add a syntax to that app after like this, "xterm - hold ~/filetoopen -c configuration.xml" how do i do that?
[12:00] <Papyros> Zyx, how can i change this ?
[12:01] <rappyneedshelp_> i get an error
[12:01] <Papyros> zyx, can i change this ?
[12:01] <zyx> Papyros, downgrade your firefox to an older version.
[12:01] <Papyros> zyx, how can i do it ? will a lost any data?
[12:02] <llutz_> rappyneedshelp_: change your script into "xterm - hold ~/filetoopen $@" to use commandline-options
[12:03] <Uberfaja> when ubuntu 10.10 will be avaiable to download?
[12:03] <zyx> Papyros, how did you install firefox? From the mozilla repo, or official?
[12:03] <zyx> Uberfaja: tomorrow
[12:03] <Uberfaja> i mean, what hour?
[12:03] <llutz_> Uberfaja: when its done
[12:03] <Uberfaja> yeah, makes sense
[12:03] <Papyros> zyx, with an update of repos.. i have the repos in my /apt/sources.list
[12:03] <srisimil> zyx: I don't know about ffmpeg, but you can do this with menocder. see http://www.howforge.com/how-to-convert-avi-to-wmv-by-mencoder
[12:04] <llutz_> Uberfaja: try at 10:10  :)
[12:04] <Uberfaja> lol'd
[12:04] <Uberfaja> 10:10 10/10/10
[12:04] <zyx> srisimil, thanks. <3
[12:05] <rappyneedshelp_> anyone?
[12:05] <zyx> Papyros, try to remove the current firefox (Namoroka), and intall it using the official (ubuntu) repo.
[12:06] <Papyros> zyx, will i lost my data?
[12:06] <Uberfaja> thx for help, gotta wait patiently :)
[12:06] <zyx> Papyros, no you shouldn't, but make a backup, just in case. I advice using Mozilla sync to store you bookmarks in the cloud
[12:07] <dns53> Papyros data is stored in your .mozilla folder and is not tied to the application
[12:07] <Papyros> dns53, ok thanks..
[12:08] <Papyros> zyx, thanks
[12:08] <pumpkin> i have the problem listed here (no more admin-rights for user, rights come back for 1 reboot after gksu users-admin) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1573897 . Any pointers to a permanent fix?
[12:10] <dns53> pumpkin so your problem is your current user does not have admin rights? was it the first account created when you installed ubuntu?
[12:10] <uLinux> how can i remove /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd?
[12:11] <pumpkin> dns53, yes. first and only account. sudo works, mounting via gnome or shutdown via gnome does not.
[12:11] <uLinux> it was uninstalled but the entry is there
[12:11] <llutz_> uLinux: sudo aptitude remove openbsd-inetd
[12:11] <pumpkin> dns53, the user is in the admin-group.
[12:12] <uLinux> llutz_: it wasnt removed :s
[12:12] <uLinux> whats that command update -rc
[12:13] <llutz_> uLinux: update-rc.d  but that only affects links to /etc/rc*.d not /etc/init.d scripts
[12:13] <uLinux> llutz_: so if the app is uninstalled can i just delete the script?
[12:13] <llutz_> uLinux: yes, how did you remove the app?
[12:13] <Friar> i'm getting an error when I use sudo apt-get update in maverick....http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/RyEnhgEQ
[12:14] <uLinux> llutz_: apt-get remove app --purge
[12:14] <Friar> I'm not really sure what to do with this.
[12:14] <ugliefrog> is there a command in the terminal that would allow me to see what internet address is being streamed...Im trying to grab the url to put in rythmbox....i m listening to a radio station but it pops it up in a flash controled window
[12:14] <llutz_> uLinux: the init-script should have been removed too by dpkg....
[12:14] <llutz_> ugliefrog: netstat -tulpen
[12:14] <llutz_> ugliefrog: or lsof -i
[12:14] <dns53> pumpkin users-admin does not work well with sudo, run it normally, it will allow you do anything requiring admin permissions
[12:14] <uLinux> llutz_: it gave an error cause identd user was logged
[12:15] <ugliefrog> llutz, ill give a try rhanks
[12:16] <uLinux> llutz_: i installed it again and removed :)
[12:16] <dns53> zFriar it is still under development and your mirror only has a partial copy of the ubutu repository. your mirror is probably in the middle of a copy.    wait 10-20 minutes and run  apt-get update again
[12:16] <uLinux> the entry is gone
[12:16] <pumpkin> dns53, no, it does not work anymore for me. But i found the bug on launchpad: it is marked criticaln and open since start 2010. 10.10 has a fix.
[12:17] <uerceg> How do I put Empathy icon on my upper GNOME panel?

[12:17] <pachoulya> Hi guys, anybody know how to remove music from ubuntu 10.10 to iphone? (sry 4 bad english)
[12:19] <Lord`Saladin> I need some help with vsftpd. I installed and set it up as per instructions, however, whenever I try to connect, I get a message telling me that the password is incorrect (which it isn't - I'm entering the correct password for the user). I've looked online and this seems to be a prevalent problem, but none of the fixes seem to work. Can anyone help?
[12:19] <Friar> pachoulya, I would try gtkpod. but it depends on what version of iphone.
[12:20] <pachoulya> model or firmware?
[12:20] <Friar> pachoulya, you can get gtkpod from synaptic. just search for it. It works for me with my ipod touch, but it is an old version.
[12:20] <Friar> pachoulya, I believe it depends on the firmware.
[12:20] <sniperjo_> anyone know of any cross platform mesh network programs
[12:20] <erUSUL> !ipod > pachoulya
[12:21] <erUSUL> sniperjo_: define "mesh network programs"
[12:21] <Friar> !ipod > Friar
[12:21] <timh> Hi, how do I display the Ubuntu version from the command line?
[12:21] <sniperjo_> erUSUL: Mesh network client
[12:21] <qrw6531> timh: cat /etc/issue
[12:21] <erUSUL> sniperjo_: p2p ?
[12:22] <erUSUL> !version | timh
[12:22] <llutz_> Lord`Saladin: grep local_enable /etc/vsftpd.conf
[12:22] <sniperjo_> erUSUL:  No, type of wifi setup
[12:22] <timh> qrw6531: thanks
[12:22] <erUSUL> sniperjo_: ok; network manager can not connect to it?
[12:22] <Lord`Saladin> llutz: I have that enabled.
[12:23] <sniperjo_> erUSUL: basically its where each computer in the network acts as a repeater for others to join
[12:23] <OneMillionDollar> omg 1338 users
[12:23] <do0d> i can not connect to password protected ad-hoc networks created by windows machine from ubuntu
[12:24] <do0d> i can not connect to password protected ad-hoc networks created by windows machine from ubuntu. why is that
[12:24] <timh> I have an up-to-date 8.04.4 host w/ ghostscript issues around particular PDF files. my 10.04.1 host doesn't have the same problems. Is there a way to upgrade imagemagick + ghostscript to the 10.0.4 versions w/o having to upgrade the entire 8.04 distro?
[12:24] <ZionIFL> wtf
[12:25] <llutz_> Lord`Saladin: /etc/pam.d/vsftpd exists and is enabled too?
[12:25] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: there is a upcoming standard for wlan mesh networking (802.11s), which is supported by *some* wlan drivers. i don't know if any windows / mac os / whatever driver already supports it.
[12:25] <glebihan> timh: you can though it's usually not recommended
[12:25] <do0d> i can not connect to password protected ad-hoc networks created by windows machine from ubuntu. why is that
[12:26] <sniperjo_> qrw6531: ah, i thought the standard was already "set"
[12:26]  * pksadiq is feeling bored *now*
[12:26] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: maybe, i didn't check for quite a while
[12:26] <sms_> How do I stop "ping localhost" from pinging localhost :D
[12:26] <glebihan> timh: you'd have to add lucid mirrors for the time of the upgrade, upgrade only the packages you need to, and then remove the lucid mirrors
[12:26] <Lord`Saladin> llutz_: Yeah.
[12:26] <llutz_> sms ctrl-c
[12:27] <sms_> Great thanks
[12:27] <marto> installed 10.04 on my new laptop. Sound isn't working aplay -l lists an intel HDA generic device and a ATI HDMI audio device. Anyone know of a guide for getting this working?
[12:27] <timh> glebihan: okay, those packages are going to pull a tonne of dependencies. i presume that that is considered high risk.
[12:27] <llutz_> Lord`Saladin: anything related in the logs? /var/log/auth.log /var/log/vsftpd.log
[12:27] <RadioHam> I am getting Google Earth crash with the following message, any ideas -  Google Earth could not write to the current cache or My Places file location. The values will be set as follows:
[12:27] <RadioHam> My Places Path: "/home/adrian/.googleearth"
[12:27] <RadioHam> Cache Path: "/home/adrian/.googleearth/Cache"
[12:27] <pksadiq> I think that this channel will be upgraded to official 10.10 within a week, isn't it?
[12:27] <glebihan> timh: well yes, if there are a lot of dependencies, it may break some other packages
[12:28] <llutz_> pksadiq: likely  tomorrow
[12:28] <pksadiq> llutz_: :(
[12:28] <andrea> hi
[12:28] <sniperjo_> qrw6531:  sounds like a silly question, but do i need to use 802.11s ? i am sure i have seen stuff for mesh networks with current standards/harware
[12:28] <Guest21767> hammer
[12:28] <pksadiq> Guest21767: Hi
[12:29] <Guest21767> :)
[12:29] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: maybe you mean ad-hoc mode. but that is very crappy.
[12:29] <Acne> hey guys, i can't autostart a script on boot, i want it to be the last thing to start on boot, how can i do that?
[12:29] <sniperjo_> qrw6531: crappy in terms of what ? data rate ? reliability ?
[12:29] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: reliability
[12:29] <timh> glebihan: okay, thanks for the information. I think we'll need to create a new linode instance w/ 10.04.
[12:30] <RadioHam> anybody been running the beta for 10.10, is it any good
[12:30] <erUSUL> Acne: /etc/rc.local ?
[12:30] <wizman> #toronto
[12:30] <erUSUL> RadioHam: #ubuntu+1
[12:30] <MagicJ> I am now gettijng the message "the bookmarks and history system will not be available..." when I start firefox - how do I fix this
[12:30] <sniperjo_> qrw6531: would ad-hoc self heal?
[12:30] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: plus, ad-hoc mode doesn't do any forwarding. you would have to use a routing protocol.
[12:30] <dns53> Acne what does the script do?
[12:30] <Guest21767> is there any italian here?
[12:30] <Acne> open up an application in a new xterm window
[12:30] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: mesh networking does all the forwarding/reachability checks in the wireless driver stack
[12:30] <pksadiq> !it
[12:31] <Acne> an application i open with ./myapp command in the terminal
[12:31] <Guest21767> psadik? sei italiano?
[12:31] <Lord`Saladin> llutz_: In auth.log it's telling me that /etc/shells  /etc/securetty and /etc/ftpusers are 'either world writeable or not a normal file'
[12:31] <Acne> so the script inside is this
[12:31] <Acne> one sec
[12:31] <RadioHam> is the new release due out tomorrow worth upgrading to?
[12:31] <Acne> this is the only line
[12:31] <Acne> xterm -hold /home/mouris/canaldigital/canaldigital.i686 &
[12:31] <pksadiq> Guest21767: No
[12:31] <timh> glebihan: is there a comfortable way to upgrade 8.04 to 10.04?
[12:31] <Guest21767> ok :) sorry
[12:31] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: ad-hoc can only link machines which are all in physical range of all others
[12:32] <dns53> timh you need to go through intermediate releases but you can do it
[12:32] <pksadiq> Guest21767: dont care
[12:32] <Lord`Saladin> llutz_: What permission should they be?
[12:32] <MagicJ> timh: you can do it with synaptic
[12:32] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: and ad-hoc is limited to 11mbit
[12:32] <Acne> any clue dns53 ?
[12:32] <glebihan> timh: I think there should be, as both are LTS releases, though I never did that so I'm not sure
[12:32] <dns53> timh 8.04 > 10.04  > 10.10
[12:32] <sniperjo_> qrw6531: yeah that was what i though, so i need to use a mesh network
[12:32] <pksadiq> what would be the total size of files to be downlowaded to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10?
[12:33] <RadioHam> erUSUL, what are the advantages of the new release?
[12:33] <Guest21767> where are you from guys?
[12:33] <erUSUL> pksadiq: depends on what you have installed
[12:33] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: yes. but i don't have any idea if non-linux systems already support that.
[12:33] <glebihan> dns53: he doesn't want 10.10 but 10.04 so I think one step only will be needed
[12:33] <Guest21767> it's my first time here, i forgot how using a public chat is :D
[12:33] <RadioHam> is it a major revamp or just a few updates?
[12:33] <pksadiq> erUSUL: If mine is a fresh install of 10.04, then?
[12:33] <erUSUL> pksadiq: more than 700 MiB for sure
[12:34] <timh> glebihan: thanks for your suggestions, RTFMing now.
[12:34] <sniperjo_> qrw6531: if i needed to use windows i guess i could do something real dirty like emulate linux on virtual box and connect them with a virtual interface
[12:34] <pksadiq> erUSUL: So I think better to download the ISO, or order a CD :), having 50 kbps :D
[12:34] <dns53> Acne so to start when that user logs  in?    system > preferences > startup applications
[12:34] <erUSUL> pksadiq: i usually dwonload the alternatecd via torrent and use it to upgrade that way direct dwonload is less
[12:34] <glebihan> timh: you're welcome, have fun :)
[12:35] <dns53> glebihan oops i missed that
[12:35] <a5h15h> not able to activate flymake-mode in emacs...on trying to activate it...no buildfile found is returned
[12:35] <Acne> ok i'll try that
[12:35] <erUSUL> pksadiq: only the alternatecd can be used that way
[12:35] <Acne> however
[12:36] <pksadiq> erUSUL: If I try to download, The next stable will be released before the download is complete
[12:36] <erUSUL> !final | pksadiq
[12:37] <Acne> the script runs this line and it works (xterm -hold /home/mouris/canaldigital/canaldigital.i686) but if i want to add commands afterwards it gives me an error, like this (xterm -hold /home/mouris/canaldigital/canaldigital.i686 -C config.cfg). How do i add the -C config.cfg so it will recognize it?
[12:37] <erUSUL> Acne: use quotes around the whole command
[12:38] <Guest21767> guys...just a suggestion..I'm not sure...i gotta connect via ssh from my office to my home computer
[12:38] <Guest21767> but my home computer /the server/ is behind a nat router
[12:38] <Acne> quotes around everything or just this (/home/mouris/canaldigital/canaldigital.i686 -c config.cfg)
[12:38] <Acne> becuase i did the last and it didn't work
[12:38] <Guest21767> how can i get there?
[12:38] <Acne> quotes only around the command i want to run
[12:39] <sniperjo_> qrw6531: would that work ?
[12:39] <Monkey_Dust> Acne: use single quotes or this: `
[12:39] <dns53> Acne write a script ie put what you want in a text file and mark it to be executable and not bother passing xterm command line arguments
[12:39] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: you cannot give wireless cards into virtual machines
[12:39] <Acne> dns53: i want it to output the information on a terminal window, thats why i did it that way, is there another way?
[12:40] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: and just routing or bridging to them will not use them as mesh points
[12:40] <Guest21767> help please
[12:40] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: mesh functionality must be done by the driver that is using the wireless card
[12:40] <sniperjo_> qrw6531:  ah ok
[12:40] <glebihan> Acne: I think using the following command should work : xterm -hold -e /home/mouris/canaldigital/canaldigital.i686 -C config.cfg
[12:41] <raven> what is the command to install to hd in text-mode?
[12:41] <Acne> i'll try, thanks
[12:41] <Shtl> hi All
[12:42] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: if the wireless card is usb and you can force the host system not to use it, you can give it into the virtual machine and use it in the guest system
[12:42] <Guest21767> hi
[12:42] <dns53> Acne  just create a text file with the contents:    /home/mouris/canaldigital/canaldigital.i686 -C config.cfg        so the command will get the right arguments, i think:   xterm -hold -e "/home/mouris/canaldigital/canaldigital.i686 -C config.cfg"   should also work
[12:43] <sniperjo_> qrw6531:  Basically i have about  20 machines which are spaced far enough apart so that each machine can see either machine beside it but no other ones and i need to join them to a network. The machines might not always be in the same order... Thats a self healing wireless mesh network scenario right ?
[12:43] <Shtl> i hve installed ubuntu 10.04 from CD, but i am not liking left corner buttons like close, max,min, of every window i open. I want them to be usual way, can any one help me to configure that?
[12:43] <pksadiq> Shtl: Change the theme
[12:43] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: yes
[12:44] <sniperjo_> qrw6531: would anything else work ?
[12:44] <Shtl> pksadiq: even then also its not changing
[12:44] <Shtl> in theme it shows but actual window is same again
[12:44] <ljsoftnet> whats the command in the terminal to know the name of the harddisk?
[12:45] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: only the crappy ad-hoc solution, but you need something like olsrd for the routing protocol. dunno if that exists in windows.
[12:45] <Shtl> ljsoftnet: df or fdisk
[12:45] <ranjan> hi all in one of my friends laptop the http_proxy variable is automatically
[12:45] <ranjan> set
[12:45] <pksadiq> Shtl:  install emerald
[12:45] <Shtl> let me check
[12:45] <ranjan> how can i remove the value from the http_proxy variable
[12:45] <Kuba> Where can I look for some usable logs if suspend isn't working? ;> (10.10)
[12:46] <ryokea> ranjan: run in a terminal "http_proxy="
[12:46] <ikonia> Kuba: you have been told multiple times 10.10 support is in #ubuntu+1
[12:46] <Acne> ok i made that text, but can i make  an icon on the desktop to run that script?
[12:46] <Kuba> ikonia: nope, this is the first time
[12:46] <sniperjo_> qrw6531: i thought in adhoc, all computers need to be within range of eachother ?
[12:46] <Kuba> ikonia: but thanks
[12:46] <ljsoftnet> Shtl can u just give me the command to list all partition
[12:46] <Shtl> pksadiq: no, is it necessary?
[12:47] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: not if you add olsr (routing protocol)
[12:47] <ranjan> ryokea: i used the command unset http_proxy is there any mistake in that?
[12:47] <Shtl> ljsoftnet: sudo fdisk -l
[12:47] <sniperjo_> ljsoftnet: fdisk -l
[12:47] <glebihan> Acne: use a symbolic link or a .desktop file
[12:47] <pksadiq> Shtl: I don't think so, I just changed some theme and it got corrected
[12:47] <ryokea> ranja: nah, unset should work as well
[12:47] <Shtl> pksadiq: let me check after installing emerald
[12:47] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: olsrd is a routing daemon that announces reachability information by sending udp packets
[12:48] <pksadiq> Acne: reght click on desktop and create Launcher
[12:48] <Acne> pksadiq: i did that, but it won't open it up, i think it opens it up and closes immediately
[12:48] <pksadiq> right*
[12:48] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: and depending on the information in receives from other olsrd, it adds/removes routing entries
[12:48] <Acne> glebihan: what is a symbolic link?
[12:49] <ryokea> Acne: a 'shortcut' to a file or folder
[12:49] <sniperjo_> qrw6531:  ah ok, so that would be a slow datarate
[12:49] <ranjan> ryokea: but it will get unset for some time then again its shows the proxy value again :(
[12:49] <pksadiq> Acne: is it a shell script?
[12:49] <Acne> how do i do that, i only know of right click at desktop and create launcher, but that doesn't work
[12:49] <ryokea> ranjan: have you checked to make sure a proxy isn't set in the system settings
[12:49] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: yeah. and ad-hoc mode is not very well implemented in some drivers.
[12:49] <sniperjo_> qrw6531: would adhoc on an N network still be 11mbit
[12:50] <Acne> i'm not sure, the only thing in that script is this: /home/mouris/canaldigital/canaldigital.i686 -c config.cfg
[12:50] <qrw6531> sniperjo_: yes, ad-hoc is specified for 11mbit only
[12:50] <glebihan> Acne: better use a .desktop file, here is an example one, save it to your desktop and edit it to put the correct label and icon : http://paste.ubuntu.com/509400/
[12:50] <Acne> cool, thanks glebihan
[12:50] <ryokea> ranjan: click system -> preferences -> network settings, click on direct connection to internet
[12:50] <glebihan> Acne: you're welcome

[13:04] <mae_tae> i encounter also problem like malformed ??????
[13:05] <MrStein> ikonia: I'm on a live system, I want it to use for something, not spend half a day reconfiguring it
[13:05] <ryokea> mae_tae: it would be advised to get at least 10.04 or wait a day for the final release of 10.10
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> mae_tae:  10.10 is to be  reelased Tomorrow.. ?
[13:05] <sreeju> please help me

[13:05] <ikonia> MrStein: no
[13:05] <ikonia> MrStein: sorry, Monkey_Dust no
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> mae_tae:  that may be a better  thing to do.. or get 10.04 today...

[13:12] <Killaklown> can someone please help me with fixing this blank monitor
[13:12] <ryokea> killakklown: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' to reconfigure your video settings
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> Killaklown:  you did have a working system then you installed the nvidia drivers? or has it ever worked?
[13:13] <sreeju> but i need Dock
[13:13] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: yeah I install nvidia drivers and it worked fine for like a few days
[13:13] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: had it up just idling yesterday.. when I came back it was blank ever since
[13:13] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: rebooted a few times since... still same issue
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> Killaklown:  theres a 'text' option you can give the grub menu, or the recovery option that should let you get to a  console, where you can try to fix things.
[13:14] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: i'm in recovery now
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> Killaklown:  yiou dont have a tv plugged into the tv out do you or any other monitors?
[13:14] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: no other monitors
[13:14] <pksadiq> sreeju: do try ALT + F2 and type compyz --replace and press enter
[13:15] <sreeju> anyone know other dock?
[13:15] <pksadiq> sreeju: do try ALT + F2 and type compiz --replace and press enter

[13:15] <sreeju> ok let me try
[13:15] <blue112> Hi here.
[13:15] <blue112> Why does Xorg takes over 30% of my CPU ?
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> Killaklown:  as a test you could run 'startx' and see if any errors show up, or if it works. You have any other pcs on your home network you can ssh from, to get to the linux box?
[13:16] <kurrata> sreeju open /etc/x11/xorg.conf and check if you have something like this Section "Extensions"
[13:16] <kurrata>   Option "Composite" "Enable"
[13:16] <kurrata> EndSection
[13:16] <ikonia> blue112: some effects can be quite demanding on some graphics cards, and the onboard CPU can be kept quite busy
[13:16] <ikonia> blue112: disable compiz effects, see if it calms down
[13:16] <blue112> ikonia, I don't have any effects enabled.
[13:16] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: thats not the issue... I can get to a screen to repair stuff
[13:16] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: secondly ... my screen goes blank
[13:17] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: I think when X11 tries to start
[13:17] <ikonia> blue112: what video card do you have ?
[13:17] <blue112> ikonia, and all I'm doing is chatting on IRC and whatching top
[13:17] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: right now im' in recoveyr
[13:17] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: recovery mode
[13:17] <blue112> ikonia, VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M92 LP [Mobility Radeon HD 4300 Series]
[13:17] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: therefore I cant run "startx"
[13:17] <pksadiq> blue112: try metacity --replace to stop compiz and check the CPU
[13:17] <blue112> pksadiq, compiz isn't abled
[13:17] <blue112> enabled*
[13:18] <ikonia> blue112: are you using the ati propritary drivers, from the system->administration->hardware drivers ?
[13:18] <sweb> how can i determine my vpn connection is encrypted or not
[13:18] <sweb> ?
[13:18] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: wait... I think I know ... whats the option in grub to boot just to text?
[13:18] <blue112> ikonia, how can I know ?
[13:18] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: no X11
[13:18] <ikonia> blue112: go to the tool I've just said and look if they are enabled or not
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> Killaklown:  i thougt the recovery console was no X...
[13:18] <blue112> ikonia, ok.
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> Killaklown:  theres a 'text' optink you can type in/edit the grub menu to use also
[13:18] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: yeah no X but... I'll boot normally like you say
[13:18] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: with text only
[13:18] <blue112> ikonia, yep, it's enabled
[13:19] <blue112> And glxinfos says "direct rendering: Yes"
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> Killaklown:  so you are using X right now?
[13:19] <ikonia> blue112: I wonder if that's the issue then,
[13:19] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: lol ...no right now I booted in to "recovery mode" at grub menu
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> Killaklown:  sop what are you using right now then? You can IRC from the console ya know.. :)
[13:19] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: what I will do is boot normally with the "text"
[13:20] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: i'm on irssi in recovery mode
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> Killaklown:  you can use 'text' then run 'startx' and I THOUGHT you could also do same thing with the recovery option.
[13:20] <coolroot> what does .chm means? what type of file? which application i will use to open this type of file?
[13:20] <blue112> ikonia, then, what should I do ?
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> If X isent running.. then you should be able to 'startx'
[13:20] <ikonia> blue112: try disabling it
[13:20] <blue112> ikonia, O_o ?
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> coolroot:  its a MS help file format.
[13:20] <ikonia> blue112: use the basic drivers instead
[13:20] <blue112> ikonia, basic drivers lags.
[13:20] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: ok thanks.. i'll go do that now and then come back
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> coolroot:  theres several chm viewers in the repos
[13:20] <kurrata> coolbhavi google "open .chm linux"
[13:20] <blue112> ikonia, and basic drivers won't support my dual screen layout
[13:20] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: thanks alot Doc :)
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> !info gnochm
[13:20] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: brb
[13:20] <ikonia> blue112: propritary drivers appear to cause you problems
[13:21] <kurrata> coolroot  google "open .chm linux"
[13:22] <blue112> ikonia, basic drivers won't support my dual screen layout :/
[13:22] <coolroot> gnochm:
[13:22] <coolroot>  Depends: python-gtkhtml2  but it is not installable
[13:22] <ikonia> blue112: but the propitary ones seem to cause you problems
[13:22] <pksadiq> !chm
[13:22] <blue112> ikonia, I don't have to have a useless screen.
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> coolroot:  update/upgrade/try again
[13:22] <pksadiq> !xchm
[13:23] <ikonia> blue112: it's the trade off you need to look at
[13:23] <blue112> ikonia, so ubuntu says "Use one screen or lag" ?
[13:23] <ikonia> blue112: no, ati (nothing to do with ubuntu) appears to have issues with your card/driver combo
[13:23] <pksadiq> xchm is enough
[13:24] <blue112> ikonia, then, what can I do to fix that AND keeping my dual screen ?
[13:24] <blue112> I can't change my graphic card, it's a laptop.
[13:24] <ikonia> blue112: contact ATI
[13:24] <blue112> ikonia, I doubt that they will ever answer.
[13:24] <ikonia> log it as a bug
[13:25] <ikonia> blue112: then what do you want ubuntu to do about it ?: they don't make those drivers or support them
[13:25] <pksadiq> blue112 I think you can use vesa instead of the current driver
[13:25] <blue112> pksadiq, I won't be able to dual screen then.
[13:25] <coolroot> Dr_Willis, i did update but same problem
[13:26] <raven> what is a linux system with only text mode?
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> raven:  one thats not running X.
[13:27] <ikonia> raven: what ?
[13:27] <ikonia> raven: the ubuntu distro can have X removed or disabled
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> raven:  go to the console.. and see what its like
[13:27] <ugliefrog> can some one tell me how i can get the streaming part of this inside rythmbox------->http://www.947thebrew.com/mediaplayer/?station=KBRU-FM&action=listenlive&channel_title=
[13:27] <pachoulya> Hm
[13:27] <raven> Dr_Willis, i need something like fedora 1 to build a cluster
[13:28] <pksadiq> raven press ALT + CTRL + F1 to F6
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> raven:  any disrto can do text only normally.. if thats what you are asking about
[13:28] <coolroot> ?
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> ugliefrog:  its using flash.. so it may not be doable
[13:28] <pksadiq> raven: sorry
[13:28] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: sup
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> Killaklown:  mOO! :)
[13:28] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: got it going .. although I still dont know how
[13:28] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: lol
[13:28] <pksadiq> :0
[13:29] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: decided to boot into safex mode
[13:29] <ugliefrog> Dr_Willis, Dangitness........thanks
[13:29] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: then reconfigured X
[13:29] <Killaklown> Dr_Willis: now I dont even have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file :( yet it still boots
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> Killaklown:  X auto configures for the most part.. and if you installed the nvidia drivers, I thought it made one.
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> Killaklown:  you can use the nvidia-xsettings tool to generate one.
[13:30] <Killaklown> ok
[13:31] <Killaklown> cool beans
[13:31] <Killaklown> thanks man
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> I normlly just install the drivers using the hardware-drivers tool, reboot, run nvidia-settings the first time, restart X server.. and thats it...

[13:34] <dns53> Moopz java -jar  file
[13:34] <Moopz> Tried that already, doest't work
[13:34] <pksadiq> Moopz:  or right click on file and open with Java runtime
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> Moopz:  thats how its done.. unless you got some other error messages you want to share with ut
[13:34] <blue112> Hi again.
[13:35] <blue112> Why when I run glxinfos it says X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
[13:35] <Moopz> pksadiq, doesn't work either. Tried with both Sun and OpenJDK
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> Gnochm isent even in 10.10 any more...
[13:35] <Moopz> java-jar: command not found is what I'm getting.
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> Moopz:  SPELL it right.
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> Moopz:  java               -jar foo.jar
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> Notice the SPACE :_)
[13:36] <LinuxLinks> the space is needed :)
[13:36] <Dr_Willis>  -jar is an OPTION
[13:36] <pksadiq> LinuxLinks:  Moopz knows it, I feel
[13:36] <pksadiq> :)
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> heh
[13:36] <Moopz> Now I get: Unable to access jarfile test.jar
[13:37] <Moopz> And I set the permissions so it should be able to be executed.
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> Moopz:  and is test.jar in the current working directory?
[13:37] <WXZ> in the terminal, how do I change the extension of a group of files in a direction
[13:37] <Moopz> Yes
[13:37] <sniperjo_> anyone got any experience with routing protocals?
[13:37] <WXZ> I figured out 'rename *.txt ??.t"
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> Moopz:  i dont think you set them +x, no nee to.. and you do have the  case correct? use TAB key to complete the name
[13:37] <WXZ> the ?? part is what I have trouble with

[13:38] <Moopz> Thanks for the help.
[13:39] <saedelaere> i try to create my first ubuntu package, and don't know how to continue. the program does not need to be compiled as  it is written in tcl tk
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> WXZ:  in most cases i recall  people dont want to use 'rename' they want to use 'mv' to move a file to a new name..
[13:39] <WXZ> I lied, I'm actually using "convert"
[13:39] <WXZ> ImageMagick
[13:39] <saedelaere> there is a configure ans install script which can be used to install the app
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> WXZ:  so whats the issue then?
[13:39] <WXZ> same issue, just instead of "rename" I want "convert"
[13:39] <saedelaere> can i use this script to create a package?
[13:40] <WXZ> convert *.png *.jpg doesn't work
[13:40] <saedelaere> i did this in a rpm spec file
[13:40] <saedelaere> and this works great
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> WXZ:   So you need to learn how bash Handles file globbing. :)
[13:40] <WXZ> sure.....
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> WXZ:  try it with echo..    echo foo.png poo.jpg
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> oops wrong example. :)
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> WXZ:  try it with echo..    echo *.png poo.jpg
[13:41] <WXZ> lol, poo
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> WXZ:  programs dont handle the globx.. bash expands them then sends them the whole list. You will need to use 'find' or xargs, to handkle it.. or some scripting
[13:42] <saedelaere> this is the spec file I was talking about
[13:42] <saedelaere> http://pastebin.com/ER6cjRWn
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> WXZ:  check out some of the bash guides under file globbing, it will show examples.. i gotta run.
[13:42] <coolroot> any other chm viewer aside from gnochm from the repos?
[13:43] <pksadiq> coolroot: I think xchm works
[13:44] <uLinux> what does sudo chmod a+x'
[13:44] <uLinux> ?
[13:44] <blue112> Why does glxinfo or fglrxinfo doesn't work with the catalyst drivers :/ ?
[13:45] <pksadiq> uLinux:  adds Execute along with the attributes already present with the file
[13:48] <a5h15h> i want to run the following command ...(setq flymake-log-level 3)...how is it supposed  to be done?
[13:51] <Syria> Hi, I have a web based application installed on my computer, how can I access this site remotely please? but the problem is that I don't have a real IP.
[13:51] <bodom> Hi there. Does my video card will be supported in Ubuntu 10.10? I have a nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] rev 162.
[13:52] <Kuba> Does encrypting a partition give a big overload in terms of system performance?
[13:52] <bodom> Kuba: in my experience, accessing an encrypted partition is 3 times slower than accessing s standard partition
[13:53] <ZykoticK9> Syria, you need to open a port on your router/firewall (probably port 80 by default) AND for DNS you might want to check out one of the dynamic DNS services (no-ip for example has their client in the default Ubuntu repo called noip2)
[13:53] <Kuba> bodom: oh, so on a netbook it is practically pointless (since its performance is ver low) thanks
[13:53] <bodom> Kuba: but it really depends on the algorithm you chose, the key lenght, and how fast is your pc
[13:54] <LeFrog> hello all
[13:54] <LeFrog> how many hours until ubuntu 10.10 is officially released?
[13:54] <Syria> ZykoticK9: I have a router connected to the same computer, should I do this using it?
[13:54] <bodom> Kuba: yep, I don't suggest you to encrypt partitions on netbook, instead you absoulutely need it. Maybe consider encrypting just a couple of folder and putting there your confidential data
[13:54] <ZykoticK9> LeFrog, the exact time/hour is never known
[13:54] <LeFrog> i see...
[13:55] <LeFrog> the RC is pretty much the same thing, no?
[13:55] <Kuba> bodom: a couple of folders? How could I do that? :)
[13:55] <bodom> LeFrog: they usually release when there will be 10.10 on every country, so watch hawaii clock
[13:56] <LeFrog> ok bodom
[13:56] <bodom> Kuba: hold on a moment
[13:56] <ZykoticK9> Syria, sorry I don't understand your last statement.  The router needs to forward the port to your hosting computer (it should probably be given a static internal IP).  Configuring routers is always different by model/make, so I can't really help with that part!?
[13:56] <kyentei> Okay, this is just annoying me. Why can't I figure out how to open a terminal inside gedit? (I have the terminal plugin for gedit installed)
[13:57] <Syria> ZykoticK9: Thank you.
[13:57] <Kuba> LeFrog: but, keep in mind that isn't said to be on time ;p What I mean is that when the 10.04 was relesed there was quite a big time shift
[13:57] <xerox1> i have just converted a pdf file to an epub using calibre; most things look good; but some words are split up in a strange way; any advice?
[13:57] <LeFrog> kuba: how so?
[13:58] <Scorcher21> aye anyone here technically savvy that may be able to offer some help?
[13:58] <bodom> Kuba: take a look at this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory
[13:58] <Kuba> LeFrog: afair there were some problems - fixing it and building new isos took quite a bit of time
[13:58] <LeFrog> i see...
[13:58] <ZykoticK9> !anyone | Scorcher21
[13:58] <Kuba> bodom: thanks
[13:59] <Scorcher21> ok understood having major issues trying to install 10.10,.. 9.04
[13:59] <Scorcher21> works fine
[14:00] <ZykoticK9> Scorcher21, 10.10 is supported in #ubuntu+1 (for the next day)
[14:00] <Scorcher21> using the live CD I get a purple screen with a keyboard and a picture of a person, then a screen with ubuntu written and five dots that alternate whie and red then nothhing monitor goes into standby
[14:01] <Scorcher21> fedora 13 does the same and ubuntu 9.10 gives me an out of range sigmnal
[14:01] <sms_> in terminal, how do I copy everything from /media/mountedcd to the root of /media/flashdrive
[14:01] <dhiry2k> hi while running rootstock i got error as qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped
[14:02] <Benwa> sms_→ cp -a /media/mountedcd /media/flashdrive
[14:03] <GregValheru> ppl, I want to install dosbox 0.74, but on its web site, DL section, there is no install package for Ubuntu, when I try to compile from source files, I get this msg when running ./configure command - http://paste.ubuntu.com/509424/
[14:03] <sms_> -a eh, ok thanks
[14:05] <Scorcher21> okay since getting no response to that is 9.04 a worthy OS or do I need to be upgraded. Finally got tired of windows this is new to me but Im a quick learner with semi-marginal comp skills
[14:05] <huang> hi
[14:05] <murderertoy> hi everybody :) i have a problem with ubuntu...
[14:05] <Scorcher21> welcome to the club lol
[14:05] <Oer> !hi
[14:06] <murderertoy> :D.... the problem is that i can't go to the terminal out of gdm cause the screen becomes Black
[14:06] <ZykoticK9> Scorcher21, from channel topic "Notice: Jaunty/9.04 !End-Of-Life on October 23rd" -- personally i don't like/do upgrades, but that's entirely up to you.
[14:06] <murderertoy> but no terminal playing...
[14:06] <huang> I'M Chinese
[14:06] <Scorcher21> your speakin french to me Im an absolyute newbie to linux... was a windows brat most of my life
[14:07] <ZykoticK9> Scorcher21, 9.04 won't be supported after the 23rd of this month...
[14:07] <Xenoxx> if your happy with 9.04 just stay there
[14:08] <Scorcher21> Ok so the termination point is on the horizon and I understand that what I dont uderstand is why I try to upgrade anything my monitor blanks out or goes to sleep
[14:08] <ZykoticK9> Scorcher21, "not supported" means no security update - it's NOT a good idea to continue to user an EOL version
[14:08] <raven> i need any good tutorial to build up a comoputing cluster please
[14:09] <GregValheru> ppl, I want to install dosbox 0.74, but on its web site, DL section, there is no install package for Ubuntu, when I try to compile from source files, I get this msg with  ./configure command - http://paste.ubuntu.com/509424/
[14:09] <KillGuta> Guys, why aren't the youtube downloaders working?
[14:09] <KillGuta> I tried cclive and the ones from the rep
[14:09] <KillGuta> They didn't work.
[14:09] <Scorcher21> and I understan what' not supported' means....  No.
[14:16] <glebihan> huang: there are people from everywhere here, but it's an english only channel
[14:16] <Jookia> Australia.
[14:16] <btQuark> greetings
[14:16] <huang> ha！
[14:16] <ZykoticK9> huang, do you have an Ubuntu support question?  (that's what this channel if for)
[14:16] <btQuark> i've got problems with ubuntu 10.04 and the nvidia-commercial driver
[14:16] <btQuark> using a celsius h250 workstation notebook (quadro graphics in there) i cannot get the device to wake up properly from sleep
[14:17] <btQuark> it does suspend, anyhow it does not wake up properly, or it does wakeup anyhow does not get its display initialized again
[14:17] <KillGuta> Guys, anyone know of a working way to download youtube videos without a website?
[14:17] <Jookia> KillGuta: A script? I've heard of youtube-dl.
[14:18] <Jookia> btQuark: I'm not sure if that's fixable from our side.
[14:18] <btQuark> the hints with "agp" in the various forums did not work, most likely due to the fact that its not agp but pci-e
[14:18] <KillGuta> Tried it, Jookia. Didn't work.
[14:18] <Jookia> btQuark: The proprietry nVidia drivers are closed-source, nobody can fix things besides nVidia.
[14:18] <ZykoticK9> KillGuta, while you are watching YouTube videos a file Flash#$J#K is created in /tmp - you can copy this file to another location to save it
[14:18] <btQuark> Jookia - so you're telling that ubuntu now *again* does not offer acellerated graphics?
[14:18] <sms_> can I have the cp command list every file and folder it copies?  The reason is that the open source drivers aren't good enough in Ubuntu 10.04. Try Ubuntu 10.10.
[14:19] <btQuark> only the uberpro-superduper-ubuntu has yet again decided to deprecate acellerated graphics
[14:19] <Scorcher21> give up on me zyko?
[14:19] <huang> I do not understand English
[14:19] <Jookia> btQuark: It's not deprecating them! It's a bug that nVidia won't fix!
[14:19] <glebihan> KillGuta: there's also a script for GreaseMonkey called "Youtube Enhancer" which will add download links on youtube pages
[14:19] <bazhang> huang, /join #ubuntu-cn
[14:19] <ZykoticK9> Scorcher21, are you talking to me?
[14:20] <Scorcher21> anyone else have a 'signal out of range' issue and if so howd you fix it?
[14:20] <Jookia> glebihan: They don't want to open up a browser.
[14:20] <Scorcher21> yeah
[14:20] <ZykoticK9> !tab | Scorcher21
[14:20] <KillGuta> glebihan, GreaseMonkey supports Chrome?
[14:20] <noob-tux> btQuark: why bother use ubuntu? go for windows.....spend more $ while we save more $ :P
[14:20] <Scorcher21> ahh thanks
[14:20] <ZykoticK9> Scorcher21, what issue are you having?
[14:20] <Jookia> Scrorcher21: That's a resolution problem. You need to lower your screen resolution.
[14:20] <btQuark> i've had that once with radeon graphics - then workstation graphics again, as i need to do real work, and it did not work as well, because "uh, opensource and no our driver is not fit for the purpose yet"
[14:20] <Scorcher21> as I said newbie
[14:20] <Scorcher21> getting an out of range signal when I try to upgrade
[14:20] <glebihan> KillGuta: never tested, but it should work
[14:20] <Jookia> btQuark: What do you want me to do, ring up nVidia tech support, file a bug and hope for the best? There's literally nothing we can do.
[14:20] <ZykoticK9> Scorcher21, for "signal out of range" lower your resolution
[14:21] <Scorcher21> tried that all the way
[14:21] <KillGuta> Gah, I'm such an idiot for asking such trivial things when I have google -_-
[14:21] <huang> Who Chinese?
[14:21] <Scorcher21> then it just goes into standy
[14:21] <bazhang> huang, not here
[14:21] <ZykoticK9> Scorcher21, what graphics card?
[14:21] <bazhang> huang, /join #ubuntu-cn
[14:21] <Scorcher21> nvidia ... 5300 i think
[14:21] <Scorcher21> been awhile sine I loked
[14:21] <btQuark> Jookia - i wouldn't regard a driver that works on a ridiculous number of platforms without issue and fast as "broken" when one weeny bunch of software does not get its act clean and some stable binary interfaces up
[14:21] <Scorcher21> AGP
[14:21] <huang> ok Thank you
[14:21] <bazhang> btQuark, please take the rants elsewhere
[14:22] <Scorcher21> as I said my 9.04 works fine
[14:22] <btQuark> ah, because you supersmug linuxies dont like to hear about problems?
[14:22] <Jookia> btQuark: ubuntu did their best to get the buggy drivers to work as best as they could.
[14:22] <Jookia> btQuark: No, because you said it yourself that it works in Solaris, why are you where?
[14:22] <Scorcher21> but when I try to upgrade I get  either the signal out of range for 9.10, and standy for 10.10
[14:22] <btQuark> that might the point of people not using your software because it does not work for them
[14:22] <bazhang> btQuark, this is not the complaints channel. if you need support then ask, but complaining is not for here
[14:23] <Scorcher21> and standby for fedora 13 also
[14:23] <btQuark> well, seems like ubuntu still is best kept in a virtual machine, aka "native environment"
[14:23] <Jookia> Good.
[14:23] <noob-tux> btQuark: from now on....read c++ programming tutorials.....and from the time u know how to read and write program....make ur own operating system! and u'll know why those programmers take time to debug those bugs found......
[14:23] <Scorcher21> hold on let get some specs here
[14:23] <Jookia> Keep it there then, I don't care.
[14:23] <btQuark> since all relevant hardware function still dont work
[14:23] <bazhang> btQuark, please stop
[14:24] <Jookia> btQuark: This isn't Ubuntu's fault, it's Nvidia's for providing crap drivers.
[14:24] <btQuark> sure.
[14:24] <btQuark> and the crusades death cases were not the christs' faults but the fault of those who refused to be christs
[14:24] <noob-tux> btQuark: in this world we know the good and the moron! unlucky u belong to the moron type! :))))))))
[14:24] <btQuark> infidels
[14:24]  * Jookia claps.
[14:24] <ZykoticK9> Scorcher21, i read back through the logs - I've got nothing for ya (the 10.04/10.10 LiveCD not working, while 9.04 does is unfortunately rather common - i believe you need to enter some kernel/boot options to resolve, but don't know what they are).  Good luck man.
[14:25] <bazhang> noob-tux, not needed. nor helpful
[14:25] <Scorcher21> lol ok
[14:25] <Scorcher21> thanx anyway bud
[14:25] <Jookia> So what're you guys doing? I'm writing a simple program to remind me to take breaks at my computer.
[14:25] <Scorcher21> Im drinking
[14:25] <dogmatic69> hi all, trying to get a usb wifi dongle working
[14:26] <Buffcns2> I'm also drinking
[14:26] <Scorcher21> cheers
[14:26] <Jookia> Any occasion?
[14:26] <bazhang> lets get back on topic please
[14:26] <Buffcns2> back at ya Scorcher21
[14:26] <dogmatic69> there is some nix drivers on a cd, but dont know how to get them installed :/
[14:26] <Scorcher21> work thirds its my night time
[14:26] <Scorcher21> yeah night is the occasion lol
[14:26] <Buffcns2> Jookia: hmmmm it's a day that ends in y
[14:26] <ZykoticK9> Scorcher21, Buffcns2 as bazhang said - try not to chit-chat about non-support issues (in this channel)
[14:26] <dogmatic69> anyone can point me in the right direction for installing the drivers? thanks
[14:26] <Scorcher21> sorry bout that
[14:26] <Jookia> dogmatic69: What kind of drivers? File formats, is there a makefile, is it code or a .deb or .rpm or anything?
[14:27] <cx42net> hi there !
[14:27] <dogmatic69> Jookia: looks like make files
[14:27] <Scorcher21> ok ill go play somewhere lese
[14:27] <Jookia> Okay
[14:27] <Jookia> Can you give me an idea of the directory structure?
[14:27] <dogmatic69> Jookia: could i link you to a dl?
[14:27] <cx42net> I defined a raid 1 in my bios but I don't know how to use  it under ubuntu : If I goes to System>Administration>Disk Utility, I can see two disks, not one. Can someone could help me please ?
[14:27] <Jookia> Sure thing, I've got nothing better to do.
[14:28] <Jookia> cx42net: Do you have two disks?
[14:28] <Doonz> cx42net: you must use the bios raid configuration utility
[14:28] <Doonz> yout mirrior isnt set up correctly
[14:28] <sebsebseb> Hi
[14:29] <cx42net> Jookia: yes I have two identical disks
[14:29] <dogmatic69> Jookia: thanks :) ill find the link quick
[14:29] <cx42net> Doonz: I did used it to configure the raid 1
[14:29] <cx42net> but now I don't know how to access to "one" disk that represent the two real disk in raid 1
[14:29] <Jookia> cx42net: Seems pretty accurate then.
[14:30] <cx42net> Jookia: how that ?
[14:30] <Jookia> Two disks, two disks.
[14:30] <cx42net> Jookia: well right, seen in that way, that is pretty obvious yeah :p
[14:30] <Jookia> Obviously I'm just messing with you, I dunno what the problem is.
[14:30] <cx42net> Jookia: but I defined them in raid 1 in the bios, how could I use that ?
[14:31] <Jookia> I have no clue, bro. I've never used RAID.
[14:31] <dzan> hi, is this possible: boot from a live cd, create an array ( with mdadm, raid 5 ) then copy all my data over the network ( still using the live cd ) then shutdown, add a extra disk install server to the disk and then still have the array there? ( it's because i want to use a disk with data on currently as os disk but the data can't be lost and must go to the array )
[14:31] <cx42net> Jookia: ok well no problem ;)
[14:32] <cx42net> is there anyone with some raid knowledge that could help me .
[14:32] <cx42net> ?
[14:32] <Doonz> cx42net: what do you see for disks in ubuntu
[14:32] <dzan> cx42net, starting myself :)
[14:32] <Doonz> do you see the two physical disks
[14:32] <cx42net> in the utility disk, I can see the two physicals disks yes
[14:33] <Doonz> do you have 3 disks in the system
[14:33] <Doonz> or jus tthe two in mirror
[14:33] <noob-tux> http://paste.ubuntu.com/509439/    <---btQuark hehehe
[14:33] <cx42net> yes, I have an ssd for the os, and two identical hdd for the data, defined as raid 1 in the bios
[14:33] <bazhang> noob-tux, why paste that?
[14:33] <noob-tux> oOps
[14:33] <noob-tux> sorry
[14:34] <Doonz> ok
[14:34] <ZykoticK9> cx42net, just FYI but a lot of the "raid" bios stuff is not "really" raid, but some bios software raid of some sort.  I don't believe the linux support is fantastic in some cases, so verify that your MB is supported.  I've never bothered to get mine working, the raid controls in linux don't interest me enough to invest the time required to research to get it working.  hope you have better luck (more patience) then I do/did ;)
[14:34] <Doonz> ZykoticK9: it has nothing to do with what your talking about
[14:34] <Doonz> cx42net: goto terminal type: sudo fdisk -l
[14:34] <Doonz> post output to pastebin
[14:34] <ZykoticK9> Doonz, cx42net sorry then
[14:35] <Doonz> ZykoticK9: no worries glad to see you trying to help
[14:35] <cx42net> Doonz: http://pastebin.com/u4EbxaaE
[14:36] <Doonz> were your drive 500gb in mirror
[14:36] <cx42net> yes
[14:38] <rudy__> what is the best and most thorough way to uninstall a program from ubuntu?
[14:38] <Doonz> ok something isnt right in the bios side of the raid configuration. the ubuntu install will not be able to see both disks that belong to the pair it would only show as one. my other concern is that when you have this mirror set up are you going to be able to monitor the health of the array. if your just using the 500gb as storage and not accessing the disk alot or need high end speed from them you could look at the linux software solution
[14:39] <dogmatic69> Jookia: i put in on dropbox, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1681123/Linux.zip
[14:39] <dogmatic69> its 1mb
[14:39] <Jookia> Okay
[14:39] <Jookia> So is it the WPA_Supplicant or the Module that you want
[14:39] <dogmatic69> thanks a lot :)
[14:39] <ineedhelp> hi
[14:39] <ineedhelp> um
[14:40] <ineedhelp> what does "choke" and "unchoke" mean in transmission client
[14:40] <moetunes> rudy__:  in terminal   sudo apt-get --purge remove app   will take the config files too
[14:40] <dogmatic69> Jookia: idk, its a usb wifi dongle and i want internet :P ive only been using linux for a month
[14:40] <rudy__> what if I don't know the proper name for the program?  the name in the menu is not the same name as the command line
[14:40] <Morpheus303> hi, i have a problem with torrent clients; i use transmission(but it does the same with deluge) and after a while the system crashes
[14:41] <Jookia> Hey dogmatic
[14:41] <Morpheus303> did some of you encounter the same error?
[14:41] <moetunes> rudy__:  well in synaptic you can right click the installed app and select to completely remove
[14:41] <ineedhelp> morpheus i have not encountered that, perhaps you must try updating it
[14:41] <Jookia> Curious, what does 'lsmod | grep sta' in the terminal say?
[14:41] <jon_> i need help with my internet i wont work
[14:41] <logion> when i try to umount a mount it fails saying : "device is busy". both "fuser -cu /path" and "lsof /path" return nothing; any ideas? (the folder a mounted LV if that is of any importance)
[14:42] <dogmatic69> Jookia: for me?
[14:42] <Jookia> dogmatic69: Yeah
[14:42] <ZykoticK9> rudy__, option 1 - use System / Preferences / Main Menu - and look at the properties of the menu entry to see what command line argument is run.  option 2 - from a terminal "apt-cache search foo" where foo is a word in the program you are looking for
[14:42] <rudy__> so far the only way i've seen to remove a program without command line as you said is to choose "remove" from within the ubuntu software center.. but I have no idea what that is actually doing to my computer.. and I don't know where files are going when packages get installed.. i don't know if they're in usr/bin or /bin or what
[14:42] <dogmatic69> Jookia: there is 2 lines, vgastate and rt28070sta
[14:42] <rudy__> aaah yes thats right
[14:42] <rudy__> i forgot
[14:42] <rudy__> silly me, thank you
[14:42] <Jookia> Okay, so what's your card?
[14:42] <dogmatic69> Jookia: with some numbers
[14:42] <ineedhelp> what does "choke" and "unchoke" mean in the transmission client?
[14:42] <Morpheus303> any ideas?
[14:43] <Doonz> FSCK is doing an auto check on one of my arrays. Of course the sucker is over 3tb is there a way i can see the progress of it?
[14:43] <ineedhelp> tough luck morpheus... computing is the blue pill for me:(
[14:43] <dogmatic69> Jookia: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300474363887&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
[14:43] <rudy__> like, where is the REAL command line.  i wanna see the output that is behind this thing.  can I log out of gnome and just be on a command line
[14:44] <Doonz> cx42net: any luck?
[14:44] <dogmatic69> that is the one i bought has lots of tech specks down the bottom
[14:44] <dzan> hi, is this possible: boot from a live cd, create an array ( with mdadm, raid 5 ) then copy all my data over the network ( still using the live cd ) then shutdown, add a extra disk install server to the disk and then still have the array there? ( it's because i want to use a disk with data on currently as os disk but the data can't be lost and must go to the array )
[14:44] <dogmatic69> *specs
[14:44] <ZykoticK9> rudy__, ctrl+alt+f1 (ctrl+alt+f7 to get back)
[14:44] <rudy__> thanks! :D
[14:44] <Jookia> dogmatic69: Type 'locate rt3070'
[14:44] <glebihan> ineedhelp: where is that ? I don't see those commands ?
[14:44] <ZykoticK9> rudy__, you're not going to see output though - dmesg command to see kernel output
[14:45] <Johanness> Joh
[14:45] <rudy__> its asking for my login :P
[14:45] <dogmatic69> Jookia: says lib/firmware/rt3070.bin
[14:45] <ineedhelp> in the transmission client if you open the torrent then go to peers, it keeps saying choked and unchoked
[14:45] <ZykoticK9> rudy__, so log in
[14:45] <ineedhelp> you must hover your mouse over the peer list though
[14:45]  * dddw is off for the day
[14:45] <Jookia> dogmatic69: Hmm, so you have the firmware and it's auto detected, type 'ifconfig'
[14:46] <rudy__> woah dmesg pumps out alot
[14:46] <ZykoticK9> rudy__, F1-F6 are the virtual terminal - then run in parallel to the GUIs (x sessions) which are F7 and above
[14:46] <dogmatic69> Jookia: seems like 3x entries, eth0 lo wlan0
[14:46] <Jookia> Uh
[14:46] <rudy__> is there a "kill program" hotkey
[14:46] <Jookia> Try 'sudo iwconfig wlan0 up' or 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up'
[14:47] <logion> allright, "umount -l /path" might have done the trick
[14:47] <Jookia> rudy__: Dunno, by you can type 'pkill' in the terminal followed by the name of the program.
[14:47] <ZykoticK9> rudy__, "ps aux" to find PID then "kill $PIDNUM" or "killall $PROGRAMNAME"
[14:47] <rudy__> thank you
[14:47] <logion> now i get "failed to suspend VG" when I try to extend the LV that was mounted on /home. any ideas ?
[14:48] <rudy__> i still havent needed to kill a program yet :P
[14:48] <Morpheus303> can someone say if it is a known bug and if it has already been corrected in ubuntu maverick with linux 2.6.35?
[14:48] <ZykoticK9> rudy__, you can also use a terminal "program manager" type program called "top"
[14:48] <dogmatic69> Jookia: first one had error (no up command) second one seemed to work (no errors at least but no output either)
[14:48] <rudy__> haha theres more than one way to do things just like perl
[14:48] <sms_> In terminal, how do I copy everything from /media/cd/ to /media/usb/, ending up with /media/usb/[content of the cd] and not /media/usb/cd/[contents of the cd] ?
[14:49] <HaPK_PerCar> I was wondering... When the next version of ubuntu comes out I'm going to reinstall rather that update. Do I loose all the configuration I've done previously if I do that?
[14:49] <Jookia> dogmatic69: Can you try and use the dongle now? Does networkmanager pick it up?
[14:49] <ZykoticK9> sms_, i'd guess ".... /media/cd/* ..." would work
[14:49] <Oer> Morpheus303, join #Ubuntu+1 for maverick/10.10 support
[14:49] <Jookia> HaPK_PerCar: Reinstalling loses all the data and configuration. Upgrading doesn't.
[14:49] <Monkey_Dust> sms_: cd to /media/usb/cd/[content] en copy or move it to /media/usb
[14:49] <dogmatic69> Jookia: its been in all the time :/ ill unplug and put back in quick
[14:50] <Morpheus303> my problem is in lucid
[14:50] <glebihan> sms_: cp -r /media/cd/* /media/usb
[14:50] <HaPK_PerCar> Jookia, so if I reinstall I also loose all the files in my home folder?
[14:50] <Jookia> dogmatic69: After putting it back in, can you pastebin the results of 'dmesg | tail' ?
[14:50] <Oer> Morpheus303, you asked if it is corrected in maverick
[14:50] <Jookia> HaPK_PerCar: I'm not sure, depends how you partitioned it. I think you will if it's all on one partition.
[14:51] <coz_> Morpheus303,  what is the issue again.. I came in late
[14:51] <HaPK_PerCar> can someone confirm this? do I loose every file if I reinstall?
[14:51] <GregValheru> glebihan - if you're still here, ty again for your help with DOSBox 0.74 missing package and with that, I can report that I have successfully compiled my first app in Linux. *happy face*
[14:51] <rudy__> back up ur shit before you format the drive
[14:51] <HaPK_PerCar> I mean, every file in my ubuntu partition
[14:51] <coz_> HaPK_PerCar,  if you reinstall over an existing install..yes you lose it all
[14:51] <sms_> glebihan, that makes the most sense, let's see..
[14:51] <dogmatic69> Jookia: bit hard without the internet :P has about 10x entries that say '[ some.number] VFS: busy inodes on changed media or resized disk sr0'
[14:52] <glebihan> GregValheru: nice :)
[14:52] <dogmatic69> numbers are like [ 2680.378093]
[14:52] <HaPK_PerCar> coz_, hm, I see...
[14:52] <Jookia> dogmatic69: Ah, that's either good or bad. Good if it's silent without error, bad if it straightout didn't detect you inserting the dongle. The numbers are the seconds from how long Linux has been running.
[14:52] <ZykoticK9> HaPK_PerCar, if you copy your /home/$USERNAME directory to another location, then copy it back all your setting "should" be restored.  You can see !clone factoid to get a copy of your package list.  i don't do upgrades myself, and simply copy home dir and my files are stored on another drive
[14:52] <HaPK_PerCar> oh well, no other thing to do that upgrade then...
[14:52] <coz_> HaPK_PerCar,   you need to back up to cd or external drive ...everything you want to save
[14:52] <keystr0k> I've added a binary to /usr/local/bin... I need to run it with sudo, but sudo cannot find it... (my normal user can)
[14:52] <coz_> HaPK_PerCar,   are these files  or applications you want to save?
[14:53] <keystr0k> I run "sudo drush xxxx" and it says "sudo: drush: command not found"   works fine with my normal user account
[14:53] <nsahoo> Is there a way to change the default Gnome Terminal size?
[14:53] <coz_> HaPK_PerCar,   do you have dropbox installed? it has 2gigs of free storage and well worth the effort
[14:53] <Morpheus303> in this chat, what does the red text mean?
[14:53] <HaPK_PerCar> coz_, yeah, quite a bit of work in there
[14:53] <coz_> HaPK_PerCar,  does it exceed 2 gigs?
[14:54] <dogmatic69> Jookia: ok... there is this little info i know... pluging it into pc its for (clean 10.04 x64 does nothing) plugging it into 10.04.01 x84 with updates seems to show it in the connection manager
[14:54] <HaPK_PerCar> coz_, hmmm, I don't think so, but it takes a lot of time to upload things to the dropbox cloud
[14:54] <coz_> HaPK_PerCar,  well not too much time considering that it will be safe and reinstalltion can be done without concern
[14:54] <ZykoticK9> nsahoo, if you edit the profile and change the font size in gnome terminal it auto resized the entire window as well
[14:54] <Jookia> dogmatic69: Then obviously the 64bit version doesn't have the drivers. You could try clean 10.10 (it comes out later today or tommorrow) to see if it's fixed, if its not or you don't want to check, just use x86.
[14:55] <nsahoo> ZykoticK9: I was asking about fitting more rows and columns by default
[14:55] <ZykoticK9> nsahoo, ah then disregard ;)
[14:55] <HaPK_PerCar> coz_, and what about programs and other configs? I loose all those too?
[14:55] <coz_> HaPK_PerCar,  for programs you can use aptoncd
[14:56] <dogmatic69> Jookia: so cant i install the drivers that is on the cd it came with?
[14:56] <rudy__> ya know, I like this os so much... even though I don't understand how it works yet... when I first tried windows I had to figure it out too.. but by the time I got this i was still a total windows noob.  Im tiredddd of not knowing how my OS or my system works .
[14:56] <coz_> HaPK_PerCar,  that will essentially back up the applications that you are using at the moment and reinstall them later
[14:56] <zaggynl> hi, I'm using dd_rescue to copy a HDD to another HDD, what does ipos mean?
[14:56] <HaPK_PerCar> coz_, I'll see that
[14:56] <Guest38812> hey friends
[14:56] <rudy__> it tooks like 15 mins in windows to open firefox
[14:57] <coz_> HaPK_PerCar,  both dropbox and aptoncd may be your saving grace ... this way you can reinstalll at any given time knowing that these things are safely backed up
[14:57] <Guest38812> i need so help with file recover from a sd card
[14:57] <rudy__> and i got dual CPU's with 2 gigs of ram!
[14:57] <dca> i need so help with file recover from a sd card
[14:57] <zaggynl> Guest38812: dd_rescue and scalpel may help
[14:58] <sms_> Huh, doesn't work:
[14:58] <sms_> cp -r '/media/Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS amd64/*' '/media/karmadrive'
[14:58] <sms_> cp: cannot stat `/media/Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS amd64/*': No such file or directory
[14:58] <ZykoticK9> dca, i'd also check out testdisk and photorec (in same package, by same people)
[14:58] <HaPK_PerCar> coz_, I have an NTFS partition, so I guess I can backup all my important files there. aptoncd seems useful
[14:58] <dca> zaggynl where do i get it?
[14:58] <HaPK_PerCar> coz_, thanks for the help
[14:58] <zaggynl> or testdisk
[14:58] <MKM> how to conver a pdf document into a .doc document....???
[14:58] <zaggynl> dca: they're in the ubuntu repository
[14:59] <coz_> HaPK_PerCar,  yes that is the other option for sure...I sometimes do that on the windows partition
[14:59] <zaggynl> just install them like any other program using add/remove programs or synaptic
[15:00] <glebihan> sms_: cp -r '/media/Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS amd64/'* '/media/karmadrive'
[15:00] <glebihan> sms_: don't put the star in the quotes
[15:01] <glebihan> sms_: or : cp -r /media/Ubuntu\ 10.04.1\ LTS\ amd64/* /media/karmadrive
[15:01] <MKM> how to conver a pdf document into a .doc document....???
[15:01] <sms_> glabihan: thanks seems to be working!
[15:02] <haythem> hi
[15:02] <unborn__> hi
[15:02] <glebihan> sms_: you're welcome
[15:02] <haythem> welcome
[15:02] <jrib> MKM: I don't know how, but why do you want to?
[15:02] <dca> MKM i think you can use open office
[15:03] <glebihan> MKM: my first guess would be to say that it isn't possible...
[15:03] <haythem> any one can help me??
[15:03] <jrib> haythem: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[15:03] <glebihan> dca: I don't think so, open office can't open pdf documents
[15:04] <dca> MKM: so i think you can upload your file to google docs then save it as doc
[15:04] <a5h15h> how to setup gccsense in emacs?
[15:04] <dogmatic69> Jookia: when i plug it in the notification thing says 'network - you are now disconnected'
[15:05] <agruman> hi, im using a mx1000 and my middle mouse button does not work, when testing with xev i dont get any events when pressing that button (all other buttons give events), what might be the problem?
[15:05] <jrib> agruman: by default it switches the scroll mode, no?
[15:05] <Braber01> Hi I just installed ubuntu netbook edtion and It confuses me because there's no minimize button or anything.
[15:05] <jrib> agruman: wait, I'm thinking of a different mouse
[15:05] <Jookia> dogmatic69: Well I'm not sure what to do man, I can't help anymore. I don't think you need those drivers, though.
[15:05] <agruman> jrib, it doesnt do anything, xev doesnt report anything
[15:05] <rudy__> lol, Dosbox thinks that the mounted ISO is my C drive
[15:06] <coz_> Braber01,  right... you may have to watch some videos on this ... netbook takes a bit of getting used to after regular desktop edition
[15:06] <jrib> agruman: you mean when you press down on the wheel right?
[15:06] <agruman> jrib, yes
[15:06] <dogmatic69> Jookia: cool thanks. ill try put the details in manually see if it does anything
[15:06] <Braber01> thank you coz_
[15:06] <agruman> jrib, according to howtos it should produce event 2, im thinking its either hw or some udev problem
[15:07] <coz_> Braber01,  but it isnt broken if that was your concern :)
[15:07] <coz_> Braber01,  although...do you have your video card driver installed?
[15:07] <jrib> agruman: haven't used mx1000 in a few releases, so don't know.  It definitely used to work
[15:07] <Braber01> I think I do otherwise I don't think I'd be able to watch blogtv.com
[15:08] <agruman> jrib, well everything else is fine, but id think that atleast xev should print something
[15:08] <jrib> agruman: does everything else work?
[15:08] <mocramis> hi. I have some issues using matlab: the keyboard respond like a qwerty keyboard wether it's an azerty one
[15:09] <mocramis> It may be caused by the fact  that matlab is using a x-windows style ....
[15:09] <agruman> jrib, yes
[15:10] <logion> fyi: i managed to fix the "failed to suspend" problem when resizing my LV by first marking is as inactive by using lvchange -a n /dev/vg/vg
[15:10] <mocramis> does anyone has an idea about it ?
[15:12] <jrib> agruman: anything interesting in /var/log/Xorg.0.log maybe?  Does the left click + right click simultaneously produce a middle click at the moment?
[15:15] <agruman> jrib, yes left + right gives event 2 ... hmm
[15:16] <jrib> agruman: you mean "button 2"?  Does it act like middle click?
[15:16] <agruman> jrib, yeah sry button 2
[15:16] <saedelaere> trying to ask again, i want to create a ubuntu package for a program that needs not be compiled. in fact I only have to copy all files to /usr/share/foo, the program already has an installation script which I want to use. now, from where do I have to execute this script? I don't think from debian/rules because this is a makefile. any help appreciated!
[15:17] <agruman> jrib, and yes it behaves as middle click
[15:17] <jrib> agruman: ok, I asked because X should do that by default until it sees a "real" middle click
[15:18] <KillGuta> Guys, do I need something to convert .flv to .mp3 through ffmpeg?
[15:18] <LinuxVirgin> Hi all. Having problems with my wifi. The internet manager does show any networks. Sometimes it will show avail networks but it temperamental. I had help earlier and added "auto wlan0" which worked briefly but again I cant access the wifi
[15:19] <jrib> agruman: anything in that log?
[15:19] <agruman> jrib, ok, X seems to add a macintosh mouse along with my logitech receiver, i only have the mx1000 connected
[15:20] <jrib> agruman: hmm, could be related
[15:20] <agruman> jrib, but it does not recognize it as a mx1000
[15:21] <jrib> agruman: for my logitech revoco it seems to tell me about "Logitech USB Receiver".  I actually used to have an mx1000 but that middle click stopped working for me; when I told logitech, they sent me this one for free :P

[15:23] <ovy> hi, how can i change my mouse pointer with a custom one from gnome look?
[15:23] <jrib> agruman: you could try in windows to rule out a hardware issue maybe?
[15:24] <agruman> jrib, :) i have /dev/input/event3 (Logitech USB Receiver) configured as /dev/input/mouse1 and /dev/input/event2 (Macintosh mouse button emulation) configured as /dev/input/mouse0
[15:24] <jrib> agruman: I get that too
[15:24] <agruman> jrib, ok, i have no idea what the Macintosh is doing there though ... heh
[15:25] <cx42net> Doonz: sorry I had to go for a while
[15:25] <cx42net> I read what you said, but I don't know
[15:25] <cx42net> Doonz: in fact it is weird
[15:26] <cx42net> I'm gonna take a deeper look about this problem and try to find a solution
[15:26] <cx42net> thanks for your help :)

[15:28] <X-Sleepy-X> Trying to install Ubuntu 10.04.1 Server i386 on my Compaq Armada E500 that has 64 MB of RAM. I've installed Ubuntu on it before but never this version. The problem is that when it comes to detecting the hardware it seems like if the installation fails to detect the hard drive. Thought the hard drive is detected by Windows and Puppy Linux. Anyone here able to help me solve this problem?

[15:30] <KillGuta> Guys, how do I convert an flv to mp3?
[15:30] <Gigacore> vipul: have you tried to mount it using Disk Utility?
[15:30] <X-Sleepy-X> ikonia: You mean on the hard drive?
[15:31] <ikonia> X-Sleepy-X: no, I mean the server hardware spec documentation, check what disk controller is in it
[15:31] <KillGuta> With ffmpeg?
[15:31] <zyx> KillGuta, can be done with that
[15:31] <KillGuta> Convert an flv to mp3?
[15:31] <KillGuta> I mean, how?
[15:32] <X-Sleepy-X> ikonia: I'm sorry but I'm not sure where to find that documentation.
[15:32] <ovy> why can't i copy amr files from my phone (it says unsupported)?
[15:32] <ikonia> X-Sleepy-X: the HP website
[15:32] <jrib> agruman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1417456 has some interesting xinput commands that might give you more info

[15:33] <pumpkin> Hi. Question about makefile. Why does target1 work and target2 not? http://pastebin.com/pv0WkND9 . The files 1.cc and 1.d are in the same folder. Thanks
[15:33] <KillGuta> Already tried that
[15:33] <KillGuta> Do I need something else installed?
[15:34] <ikonia> pumpkin: contact the person who made the make file, it's not an ubuntu issue
[15:34] <moetunes> KillGuta:  ubuntu's ffmpeg isn't built with mp3 support - you'll need to rebuild it
[15:34] <erUSUL> pumpkin: #workingset or ##c lok like a better place to ask
[15:35] <KillGuta> moetunes, will the official one work?
[15:35] <moetunes> KillGuta:  what do you mean by official?
[15:35] <KillGuta> moetunes, well, the one you get from the official site
[15:35] <KillGuta> As in not from the repository
[15:35] <ovy> wow ubuntu-ro is so empty, probably they're all partying at Linux Install Fest in bucharest
[15:36] <moetunes> KillGuta:  yep - or you could do apt-get sourve ffmpeg
[15:36] <moetunes> KillGuta:  yep - or you could do apt-get source ffmpeg
[15:36] <erUSUL> moetunes: KillGuta get the medibuntu libs
[15:36] <erUSUL> !medibuntu

[15:37] <Gigacore> guys, whenever I change/resume songs in rythmbox, the pidgin will minimize! any solution?
[15:37] <cage_raphel> Hello all.. i am currently running Ubuntu 10.4 on my pc, however i would like to downgrade it to Ubuntu 9.10. how do i do that?
[15:37] <erUSUL> !downgrade
[15:38] <erUSUL> fresh install ?
[15:38] <Gigacore> so make a fresh install
[15:38] <Gigacore> yes
[15:38] <ovy> cage_raphel, why would you want to do that? ubuntu10.04 boots up faster than 9.10
[15:38] <cage_raphel> hmmm.. ok. is that the only option? :(
[15:38] <Gigacore> guys, any solution for my problem?
[15:38] <cage_raphel> ovy: i feel that Ubuntu 10.4 gives some kinda issues after every update.
[15:38] <Random832> is it better to do a conventional install to a flash drive, or just do the livecd/casper-rw?
[15:39] <ovy> cage_raphel, tommorow 10.10
[15:39] <Gigacore> cage_raphel: issues like?
[15:39] <X-Sleepy-X> ikonia: I
[15:39] <cage_raphel> Gigacore: issues like, it gives error messages  when the system is rebooting..
[15:39] <X-Sleepy-X> ikonia: I'm unable to locate the requested information. Perhaps I'm looking at the wrong places but all I find is general information.
[15:40] <ikonia> X-Sleepy-X: first of all 64mb of ram is a very small ammount of ram for a modern distro, second are you disks in a raid configuration ?
[15:40] <Gigacore> cage_raphel: what's the error you are getting?
[15:40] <sten> hi guys, im trrying to add a folder to Path so that i can run my script in that folder directly in bash
[15:41] <sten> so first i do: $ cd $HOME/script/
[15:41] <jrib> sten: reason you don't just use ~/bin for your personal scripts?
[15:41] <sten> yeah its for a lesson
[15:41] <cage_raphel> Gigacore: i am a newbie.. i honestly dont remember the error message either.. i dont get the error message always.. but somestimes yes.. i do get the, where i am forced to give a cold reboot  my machine.
[15:41] <X-Sleepy-X> ikonia: I know that 64 MB is a very small amount but it has worked with Ubuntu Server in the past. The disk is a single disk in a notebook so I don't believe it's RAID.
[15:41] <jrib> sten: do you want to add ~/script permanently to your path?
[15:41] <sten> and i dont know if im doing right cuz it doesnt work o if its supposed to not work
[15:41] <sten> no just for the bash session
[15:42] <jrib> sten: tell us what you ran
[15:42] <sten> so
[15:42] <sten> path="$HOME/script/"
[15:42] <ikonia> X-Sleepy-X: apologies,k I thought you said it was a server, not a notebook, my mistake
[15:42] <sten> export path
[15:42] <sten> ./script
[15:42] <sten> command not found
[15:42] <sten> or script
[15:42] <jrib> sten: PATH, not path
[15:42] <ikonia> sten: PATH=$PATH:/home/script export PATH
[15:42] <Kuehlschrank> sten: export PATH=/$HOME/script/:$PATH
[15:42] <sten> yeah iv done that to
[15:42] <sten> ah
[15:42] <sten> ;D
[15:42] <sten> il try
[15:43] <ikonia> sten: is script a script, or a directory
[15:43] <X-Sleepy-X> ikonia: Perhaps I expressed myself incorrectly, I never mentioned it as a notebook, but i mentioned Ubuntu Server... :)
[15:43] <cage_raphel> Gigacore: the most common issue being.. once  my machine boots.. it takes me to a black screen.. with a blinking cursor.. and then it gives a error message ( which i have not made a note of ) and the caps lock and the scroll lock lights on my keyboard starts flashing.. and my system becomes unresponsive.
[15:43] <ikonia> X-Sleepy-X: no, it was me not reading it properly, my fault
[15:43] <jo___> hey, when I exicute a command my output comes after I already rerecieved my shell prompt. What am I doing wrong?
[15:43] <erUSUL> cage_raphel: the caps lock  and the scroll lock lights on my keyboard starts flashing..
[15:43] <erUSUL> cage_raphel: that's a kernel panic
[15:43] <jrib> jo___: not telling us your command...
[15:43] <sten> export PATH=/$HOME/script/:$PATH
[15:44] <sten> thanks!!
[15:44] <erUSUL> cage_raphel: the BSOD of linux
[15:44] <Kuehlschrank> sten: no probelm
[15:44] <jrib> sten: you should surround it in quotes
[15:44] <sten> ikonia: script is the folder and in that a script file is resideing
[15:44] <cage_raphel> erUSUL: yeah.. i remember those words on my screen.. kernel panic.. what does that mean?
[15:44] <aandrin> I've just updated to Ubuntu 10.10,  but whenever I start the PC, the grub thingy asks me what version of Ubuntu's kernel to boot.Is this odd?
[15:44] <sten> jrib it worked anyhow, any reason in particular i shoud quote it?
[15:44] <erUSUL> cage_raphel: it is a serious issue. but weithout the actual error message that come with the panic we can not know.
[15:44] <jrib> sten: good practice in case you have a directory there with spaces
[15:45] <sten> true!
[15:45] <jo___> jrib: curl -A "Mozilla/4.73 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.15 i686)" --cookie cjar --cookie-jar cjar --insecure --location somesite
[15:45] <cage_raphel> erUSUL: will a fresh install of ubuntu help me resolve the issue?
[15:45] <sten> thanks you guys
[15:45] <erUSUL> sten: just creating ~/bin/ and putting your scripts binaries there is enough. ~/bin/ gets automatically added to PATH
[15:45] <X-Sleepy-X> ikonia: Well, I've been trying to get it to work with three different CD's, the desktop version, the server version and the mini version. The desktop version complained about low memory, what a chocker.. ;) And the both latter ones displayed the same kind of error regarding the hardware detection. Though if I went to a shell i could use fdisk but still the installation would fail.
[15:45] <Gigacore> cage_raphel: do you get the list of earlier version of kernels at grub boot menu?
[15:45] <SOLEIL> i have ebook reader with linux core, i am trying to modify installation files' SKIN folder by replacing with modified jpg files. The SKIN folder is in tgz archive. Will it work after flashing my device with modified? How to replace files in tgz archive?
[15:45] <sten> erUSUL: yes, but i only want to add the path in the bash session
[15:46] <sten> not permanten
[15:46] <Kuehlschrank> sten: I am not sure wether to use the export ...
[15:46] <ikonia> X-Sleepy-X: guess you need to look at the exact error message
[15:46] <ikonia> sten: its only added to your current session
[15:46] <cage_raphel> Gigacore: how do i identify the list of earlier version of kernels  in my boot menu?
[15:46] <erUSUL> sten: ok
[15:46] <Kuehlschrank> sten:  for me it worked without export too
[15:46] <sten> hm
[15:46] <erUSUL> cage_raphel: i dunno; as i said hard to know with such little info.
[15:46] <sten> yeah but if you open a new bash it should also work
[15:46] <X-Sleepy-X> ikonia: Well, there's the problem, it doesn't show me an error message, I just figured it was the hard drive due to the expert installation mode.
[15:47] <sten> but not if you open a new terminal
[15:47] <Gigacore> cage_raphel: after updating, the newest version of kernel will be on the top.. and the older version will go to the bottom..
[15:47] <ikonia> X-Sleepy-X: it's probably just very slow due to lack of memory
[15:47] <cage_raphel> Gigacore: are u reffering to the grub menu which i get at boot up?
[15:47] <Gigacore> cage_raphel: so try if you can boot in properly with older version of kernel
[15:47] <Gigacore> cage_raphel: yes
[15:47] <KillGuta> Guys, why are there so many compile warnings in so much stuff?
[15:47] <cage_raphel> ok .. what should i look for in the grub menu?
[15:47] <X-Sleepy-X> ikonia: Perhaps, I'll give it some more time searching and if it fails I'll just ditch the notebook... ;)
[15:47] <KillGuta> Don't devs fix them when they see them? :O
[15:48] <erUSUL> KillGuta: why are you compiling?
[15:48] <sinedio> heya, I'm planning to install Ubuntu 10.10 alongside what I have now (W7 and LM 9). The MBR on this disk already has grub installed. I was planning to install 10.10 and tell the partitioner to install its loader on the partition where 10.10 will be installed. Is this a good way to do it ?
[15:48] <Gigacore> cage_raphel: older version of kernel.. that worked properly..
[15:48] <aandrin> After I updated to the latest version of Ubuntu, the Rhythmbox icon disapeared from the taskbar.I checked in the startup apps, but it's enabled, with the command /usr/bin/rhythmbox
[15:48] <ikonia> sinedio: it will work, depends if it's good for you
[15:48] <Gigacore> cage_raphel: if you don't remember the version, just boot into the oldest available kernel in the grub boot menu
[15:48] <KillGuta> erUSUL, someone told me to use the "official" ffmpeg because the one from Ubuntu doesn't have support for mp3
[15:48] <SOLEIL> how to replace jpg files in tgz archive with new ones?
[15:48] <rocket16> Apart from Pidgin, is there any other IRC client, which integrates with the Indicator applet and Me Menu?
[15:49] <ikonia> rocket16: empathy ?
[15:49] <ovy> sinedio, did the final version of ubuntu 10.10 come up?
[15:49] <erUSUL> KillGuta: yes but *I* told you this 16:36 < erUSUL> moetunes: KillGuta get the medibuntu libs
[15:49] <ikonia> ovy: not yet
[15:49] <erUSUL> KillGuta: so add medibuntu
[15:49] <Kuehlschrank> sten: add this to your  ~/.bashrc file
[15:49] <erUSUL> !medibuntu > KillGuta
[15:49] <KillGuta> erUSUL, I did. Same thing happened
[15:49] <rocket16> ikonia: Empathy is nice, but it lacks many features of IRC clients. :(
[15:49] <sinedio> ovy: nope, not yet, but it aint that much now :)
[15:49] <Kuehlschrank> sten: export PATH=/$HOME/script/:$PATH
[15:49] <ikonia> rocket16: pidgen isn't an irc client
[15:49] <sresu> How to access Linux filesystem from Windows? (I've heard about creating FAT as a bridge but not sure)
[15:49] <rocket16> I meant, something only built for IRC
[15:49] <rocket16> ikonia: Indeed.
[15:49] <KillGuta> Still the "unsuported codec" or something
 yeah thansks
[15:50] <ikonia> sresu: ask in ##windows
[15:50] <cage_raphel> Gigacore: how do i identify the oldest available kernel in the boot menu? i know u will feel like killing me for my most stupid questions on earth.. i am really sorry bro. but i really appreciate  you helping me to get this fixed.
[15:50] <ovy> sinedio, i tried the RC and i couldn't install video card
[15:50] <Kuehlschrank> sten:  no problem :-)
[15:50] <erUSUL> sresu: ntfs is a better option as bridge.
[15:50] <SOLEIL> SOLEIL, Some one Here to Help?  how do i replace jpg files in JPG archive?
[15:50] <sresu> erUSUL: How to do that?
[15:50] <Gigacore> cage_raphel: the newest version of kernel will be on the top.. and the older version will go to the bottom..
[15:50] <vexati0n> HALP!
[15:50] <cage_raphel> Gigacore: perfect! thank u so much.. let me try that and get back to u . :)
[15:51] <erUSUL> sresu: the windows partitin can act as bridge. no need to have a separate one. you will be able to access all windows files from ubuntu
[15:51] <sinedio> ovy: it's just for testing stuff, I'm sticking with LM 9 (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) as my main

[15:51] <vexati0n> seriously now... how long is GNOME going to take to fix the bug where you can't use the mouse to click on app menu items when the menu extends past the bottom of the screen and you have to scroll down?
[15:52] <ikonia> vexati0n: that's nothing to do with ubuntu
[15:52] <sresu> erUSUL: Is the other way round not possible to access Ubuntu files from Windows?
[15:52] <erUSUL> sresu: the drivers that exist do not work with ext4 afaik
[15:52] <sresu> erUSUL: I know it doesn't work that way due to file ssytems
[15:52] <sinedio> ovy:  what video card do you have ?
[15:52] <SOLEIL> hello people, anyone here can tell me how to edit tgz archive?
[15:52] <sresu> Ah-ok
[15:52] <vexati0n> ikonia: if ubuntu markets itself as a product, then it is. if i'm just an idiot end-user who heard about Ubuntu but knows nothing about linux, and I get Ubuntu as a monolithic OS, then yes it's an Ubuntu bug.
[15:52] <ovy> sinedio, GeForce FX 5500
[15:52] <Kuehlschrank> sresu: maybe samba
[15:53] <ovy> sinedio, nvidia
[15:53] <erUSUL> SOLEIL: uncompress it. do whatever changes you need to the tree. tar again
[15:53] <ikonia> vexati0n: then log a bug with ubuntu, and stop ranting about gnome, ubuntu is not gnome
[15:53] <cdbob__> Hopefully someday Ubuntu will be a popular os
[15:53] <sinedio> ovy:  it requires very old drivers that do not play nice with the new version of Xorg :/
[15:53] <cdbob__> It's great for home servers
[15:53] <vexati0n> cdbob__: ubuntu is a popular OS already. don't let the market numbers fool you.
[15:53] <ikonia> cdbob__: this is a support channel
[15:54] <vexati0n> it would be MORE popular if things like clicking on menu items worked... but apparently that's off-topic.
[15:54] <SOLEIL> erUSUL, i am newbie. and i am doing it to try modify UI graphics on my linux based ebook-reader. will u plz explain me step by step?
[15:54] <ikonia> vexati0n: log a bug
[15:54] <erUSUL> SOLEIL: what are you trying to do ? install a theme ?
[15:54] <ovy> sinedio, i know, .. i hope they include the drivers by tomorrow
[15:55] <ovy> sinedio, i mean the possibility to install the drivers cuz they usually don't include these drivers by default
[15:55] <sten> hey you guys, why is the rest of the PATH (the original paths) untouched when i alter the PATH in tha bash?
[15:55] <SOLEIL> erUSUL, i am going to modify original installation files and flash the device again with new firmware containing modified tgz. Maybe md5 checksums thing will obstacle?
[15:55] <sten> i mean i cant see the new path in $ env
[15:55] <sten> where is it stored?
[15:56] <Kuehlschrank> sten:  echo $PATH ?
[15:56] <erUSUL> sten: if you set path in a bash session that mod only is valid for that shell and its childern ( if you used export )
[15:56] <sten> erUSUL: yeah, but where is it stored?
[15:57] <Kuehlschrank> sten:  $PATH (i guess)
[15:57] <erUSUL> sten: what device? you are not making any sense... what firmware?
[15:57] <sten> i mean how can i print out the variables set in the session
[15:57] <sten> ok
[15:57] <sinedio> ovy: it's an incompatibility with the driver version your card require 73.something which will not work with Xorg 1.9. Basically its either nouveau driver or nothing :/ the card is really really old
[15:57] <sten> il refrace
[15:57] <erUSUL> sten: he path is set in /etc/profile ; /etc/environment and ~/.profile
[15:58] <hystreni> do any1 knopw how u raise the volume in wine or on spotify
[15:58] <Kuehlschrank> erUSUL: and ~/.bashrc
[15:58] <erUSUL> sten: and env *does* print correct path
[15:58] <vexati0n> ALSO... anybody know why Youtube videos in firefox appear as gray boxes?
[15:59] <erUSUL> Kuehlschrank: grep PATH ~/.bashrc --> nothing
[15:59] <mmaksimov> vexati0n, you need a flashplayer plugin
[15:59] <SOLEIL> erUSUL, its netronix device with linux based firmware. I figured out that it just copies theme's jpg files from TGZ archive while installing, so i thought of modifying TGZ archive with my own JPG images to change theme. (after i install OS for device again)
[15:59] <ovy> sinedio, well i'll give it a try tommorow and see if it works, if it doesn't i'll stick with ubuntu 10.04 till i get a new computer (it's useless to upgrade video card since the motherboard is also old)
[16:00] <Kuehlschrank> erUSUL:  yes but read the stuff above: he wanted to only have a certain path for a bash-shell so i told him to put the export PATH... in there
[16:00] <erUSUL> SOLEIL: that is complety offtopic here; ask in ##linux or another related channel
[16:00] <vexati0n> mmaksimov: i have flash, it works fine in Opera, and it also works in firefox as long as it's a stupid advertisement or something
[16:00] <sinedio> ovy: true
[16:01] <sten> erUSUL: ok so iv checked the profile, environement and so forth and they only state the system paths, what i mean is, where is my new PATH stored, that i did SET in the bash session. if im making any sense?
[16:01] <nothings1ecial> stentry typing set
[16:01] <Kuehlschrank> sten: in the $PATH variable
[16:01] <nozes> fui almoçar
[16:01] <sten> ok
[16:01] <erUSUL> sten: is in memory; i already replied --> 16:58 < erUSUL> sten: and env *does* print current path ( with a typo :) )
[16:01] <hystreni> #dance
[16:01] <nothings1ecial> sten: set | less might be better
[16:02] <Kuehlschrank> sten:  do " echo $PATH " should show them

[16:02] <ovy> sinedio, see you @
[16:02] <Random832> [in case anyone didn't see, i asked earlier] is it possible/a good idea to do a conventional installation to a usb stick?
[16:02] <agruman> jrib, the middle-click didnt work in windows either, so i suppose its hw related. will contact logitech and see what the say about the issue.
[16:02] <erUSUL> sten: also Kuehlschrank told you how to show it twice already
[16:02] <mmaksimov> vexati0n, there are ways too many different flash plugins, mine also faulted on youtube... as a last resort, you may install adobe's non-free version, I beleive there's package flashplugin-installer that does it.... however, it may conflict with the free flashplayers so you better remove them before
[16:02] <quiescens> random832: its most likely possible, very nearly anything is possible
[16:02] <hystreni> pooooooooooooooo
[16:03] <JoeSomebody> ununtu 10.10 comes out when ?
[16:03] <Random832> before the end of the month or it'll be 10.11
[16:03] <ikonia> vexati0n: that grey box appears to be down to a bit of a memory leak, are you using it on a 64bit OS ?
[16:03] <erUSUL> !isitout
[16:03] <Random832> i'd guess it'll be near the end of the month, the last one was
[16:03] <sslither2010> Random it is possible just not a good idea because you cshould not use a swap file as it will lead to short life span of usb stick
[16:03] <Random832> suppose i don't use swap at all
[16:04] <sslither2010> then you could do it
[16:04] <Random832> the problem is i had a laptop where the hard drive failed, and i _have_ a usb drive rather than trying to find somewherei can cheaply buy a 2.5" IDE drive
[16:05] <sten> erUSUL: yes, but i dont think im making my self clear, ofc i can find out what the set path is by echoing it out in the bash. And i think maybe im making it harder for my self, as you explained its stored in memory. What I did wonder was really if i could find the newly set PATH var in some textfile or whatever. If not, thats ok
[16:05] <sslither2010> but go look how usb sticks use the flash chips as storage and you will see why it will be a short life span
[16:06] <erUSUL> sten: no it is not written to disk. that's why all those init/rc files exist to set up that vars when the shell stars
[16:06] <tsimpson> sten: no, it's only stored in memory
[16:06] <sten> thank you! :)
[16:06] <sten> il try to be more precise next time!
[16:07] <sslither2010> Anyone know if the glass theme is going to work in 10.10

[16:29] <ikonia> sdmadmin: make a dd image and deploy it that way
[16:29] <Ken8521> !clone | sdmadmin not sure if it can be done over a network or not
[16:30] <Death__> edbian: i did what you guys said and it didnt work...
[16:30] <pankaj_sharma> !clone
[16:30] <Crazyguy> sdmadmin, take a look at clonezilla and clonezilla live
[16:30] <edbian> Death__, Did you get errors in the term?
[16:30] <Ken8521> ikonia, is it normal for dd not to copy the mbr?...

[16:31] <ikonia> Ken8521: no
[16:31] <vjredd> hi, this is a wine question, but most people might have got similar thoughts like me,  is it possible to install oracle developer suite under wine ?
[16:31] <ikonia> pankaj_sharma: open the package manager, search for postfix, click install
[16:31] <sdmadmin> i tried using clonezilla with drbl server, but while i tried booting the client over pxe, i got tftp timeout
[16:31] <ikonia> pankaj_sharma: same as every other package you've asked about
[16:31] <intel352> hey all, having a problem with ATI CCC Administrative. It won't open :-)
[16:31] <pankaj_sharma> ikonia: ok
[16:31] <ikonia> sdmadmin: a dd image will be clean and easy
[16:31] <Ken8521> ikonia, strange... i've never used dd, but i was helping someone yesterday that lost their mbr/grub after DD'ing an entire drive..
[16:32] <ikonia> Ken8521: probably didn't use the right options
[16:32] <Ken8521> ikonia, he was kinda dense, so i was thinking that also.
[16:32] <vjredd> hi, this is a wine question, but most people might have got similar thoughts like me,  is it possible to install oracle developer suite under wine ?  as microsoft office (word, excel, powerpoint) works well

[16:32] <ikonia> vjredd: try the guys in #winehq
[16:33] <sdmadmin> i have to install on more than 80 machines so dd image is going to be too cumbersome
[16:33] <sniperjo_> where is the best place to ask about wifi ?

[16:33] <ikonia> sniperjo_: if it's ubuntu 10.04 here
