[04:07] <rawkasaur> Hey, my computer only shows 749MB out of it's 2GB of ram.  I have a eeepc 1201n with a nvidia ion graphics card.  I believe that it has allocated ~1.3 GB of ram for the graphics card.  When I was running ubuntu from the live cd I was able to use all of the 2GB. Any ideas on how to get the rest of my ram back?
[04:07] <chelz> al-tabq: did it work before in this same version of ubuntu? and are you using OO.o from ubuntu?
[04:07] <juan_> need help with gcc
[04:08] <myron> juan_: try reading the man pages first "man gcc" then ask a more specific question.....
[04:08] <al-tabq> chelz, yea it worked before on other fonts, what's 00.o though?

[04:09] <Wilabob> chelz: is it a problem with the backup?
[04:09] <myron> Does anyone know if there is a way to force a device to work on input1
[04:09] <chelz> Wilabob: alright try this: sudo tar xpzf Backup.tgz -C /media/ubuntudisk /etc
[04:09] <chelz> Wilabob: we'll find out
[04:09] <juan_> ok  dont know where the compiled program is and how to run it
[04:09] <kimocoder> and mount the partition in loop
[04:10] <al-tabq> chelz, sheit, i figured it, the new fonts aren't truetype fonts but otf fonts

[04:11] <magicvibes> hi, is anyone able to help me recover my Ubuntu 9.10 from fail to load gnome.DesktopManager?
[04:11] <chelz> magicvibes: what caused that?

[04:11] <al-tabq> chelz, thanks a lot mate
[04:11] <magicvibes> chelz, my tinkering with gdm
[04:11] <Wilabob> chelz: with a space between /media/ubuntudick and /ect it said tar: skipping to next header and tar: /ect: Not found in archive and tar: exiting with failure status due to previous error
[04:12] <rawkasaur> chelz: This isn't what I'm talking about.  I have two 1 GB sticks of ram, and free -m shows Mem: Total 749.
[04:12] <rawkasaur> chelz: So I am missing 1251mb of ram.
[04:12] <Maletor> Can my root filesystem, safely be on a logical volume (that contains root and swap) and have that be on top of a raid 5? I will of course have a second raid1 partition with /boot
[04:12] <Maletor> ?
[04:12] <chelz> rawkasaur: does your bios see the memory?
[04:13] <chelz> Wilabob: /etc not /ect
[04:13] <rawkasaur> chelz: Yes. It shows 2 GB. I checked the bios settings to see if there was a was to disable the pre-allocation of ram, but there wasn't that option.
[04:13] <tsyj2007> chelz: yes

It hung inches past his knees, and was obscenely obvious when he tried putting on sweat pants.

Johnson tried to avoid looking at the nurse, for fear he would rip through the tape and suddenly h

[04:27] <chelz> Wilabob: type that exactly
[04:27] <Gnea> Berzerker-: click on Places, the drive(s) should show up in the list
[04:27] <Berzerker-> Gnea, it doesn't
[04:27] <tsyj2007> Gnea: I think you know a lot
[04:28] <Gnea> Berzerker-: check dmesg, make sure the drive(s) being detected

[04:30] <tsyj2007> Gnea: haha,you are humorous ...

[04:31] <Gnea> !raid
[04:31] <tsyj2007> Gnea: I have a problem..
[04:31] <Gnea> tsyj2007: and that is?
[04:31] <Myrtti> chelz: sudo su isn't the best way of gaining a root terminal, sudo -i is a better way...
[04:31] <magicvibes> How do I compress multiple folders into a single file ?
[04:32] <Myrtti> magicvibes: tar?
[04:32] <chelz> Myrtti: ah that's fair
[04:32] <Wilabob> chelz: Thats better
[04:32] <chelz> Wilabob: sudo -i would also work
[04:32] <chelz> Wilabob: seem like it's working?

[04:32] <magicvibes> Myrtti, can you suggest a guide to follow for someone new to without hub bub
[04:33] <tsyj2007> Gnea: I don't know why?
[04:33] <Wilabob> chelz: it got to it's usual spot then started spitting out malformed number
[04:33] <Myrtti> magicvibes: well, tar is basically what zip does but without compression. You can compress it with several compression methods.
[04:33] <chelz> Wilabob: what's the usual spot?
[04:33] <Wilabob> chelz: like usr/share/ then something else
[04:34] <Wilabob> chelz: it's back to regular things now
[04:34] <IdleOne> magicvibes: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/
[04:34] <Wilabob> chelz: I think it might be working !
[04:34] <chelz> Wilabob: wait for it to finish, then try booting into it and checking if what you wanted restored gets restored
[04:34] <chelz> Wilabob: btw in the future, it's better to use integrated backup tools rather than commands from a forum if one isn't experienced in the interworkings of tools like tar.
[04:34] <chelz> Wilabob: this is a better way to backup: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem
[04:34] <Wilabob> chelz: I tried that and it didn't seem to work for me
[04:35] <chelz> Wilabob: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/SimpleBackupSuite
[04:35] <chelz> ?
[04:35] <Gnea> tsyj2007: hrm, I use vim, not emacs, so I'm not sure...
[04:35] <Wilabob> chelz: that's the program I used first and it didn't seem to even start backing up
[04:36] <Wilabob> chelz: but it's going alot further...
[04:36] <Ultraparadigm> Hi peoples!
[04:36] <Gnea> myron: have you tried removing both, then plugging in only the one that's being problematic?
[04:36] <Wilabob> chelz: WTF? chinese characters?
[04:36] <Chr1z> I have a box that lost power and now it says unexpected filesystem inconsistency and runs fsck during boot which fails.. I prompt me for root pass and takes me to a repair prompt..I'm running fsck -f -c -y but it's been running for 8 hours and has checked 8 million blocks out of 64 million... is there a better way?
[04:36] <tsyj2007> Gnea: you know vim
[04:36] <Ultraparadigm> I have to reinstall my Ubuntu tomorrow because my hard drive died.  I wanted to know if it's still nessesary to creat a SWAP partition?
[04:36] <chelz> Wilabob: heh no idea. it's your system :P
[04:37] <Gnea> tsyj2007: yes, and?
[04:37] <Spaceghost> hi, I have a problem
[04:37] <tsyj2007> Gnea: yeah,vim is a good editor...
[04:37] <Wilabob> if this work's it'll be a miracle.
[04:37] <chelz> Wilabob: here's something you might want to use in the future: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/back-in-time-a-simple-backup-tool-for-ubuntu.html
[04:37] <Spaceghost> I install ubuntu in my pc, when I boot at live cd, it shows me a message for install the nVidia's privative drivers
[04:37] <Spaceghost> but now when I install, no
[04:38] <Spaceghost> and the resolution is very small, and I can't expande this in the menu
[04:38] <Spaceghost> :S
[04:38] <ykphuah1> ah, ubuntu gives me a blank screen after I click on "Install" or "Live" or "CHeck CD" in the grub menu on my new vostro 3400, is the alternate install disk the only way for me now?
[04:38] <ykphuah1> ubuntu 910 desktop amd64
[04:38] <Spaceghost> someone can help me with this?
[04:38] <IdleOne> Chr1z: 56 more hours and it will be done at that rate
[04:38] <myron> Gnea: yeah. it didn't work. I don't know how much this will help, but on windows it registers as an hid compliant mouse and uses mouclass.sys and mouhid.sys.
[04:38] <tsyj2007> Gnea: do you have a good deployed file
[04:39] <Spaceghost> and what command is recomended use in Ubuntu? aptitude or apt-get?
[04:39] <chelz> ykphuah1: try safe graphics https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Changing%20the%20CD%27s%20Default%20Boot%20Options
[04:39] <Gnea> tsyj2007: are you done?
[04:39] <tsyj2007> Gnea: yes,but not good
[04:39] <chelz> Spaceghost: apt-get
[04:39] <Berzerker-> Gnea, what's the format in fstab to put a space in a mount point
[04:39] <chelz> Spaceghost: apt-get install nvidia-settings
[04:39] <Gnea> myron: it sounds like a mouse to me. is it a standard usb optical mouse?
[04:39] <ykphuah1> chelz: when I press F4, there's only "Normal" and "Use Driver update disc"
[04:40] <chelz> Spaceghost: then go to System -> Administration -> NVIDIA
[04:40] <Gnea> Berzerker-: why do you need to put a space there?
[04:40] <rosechu> I'm writing a script to copy the files from one directory to another on a different drive, every time it runs it changes the file permissions of the copied files to be owned by root; I tried putting chown mycurrusername and chgrp in there, but it all just says root still.
[04:40] <tsyj2007> Gnea: for example,set cindent;set nobackup;set ai;set autoindent,and so on..
[04:40] <Spaceghost> chelz, I only install the system before of this is necessary put: apt-get update or apt-get upgrade, what of these?
[04:41] <Berzerker-> Gnea, I just want a space as the folder name
[04:41] <Berzerker-> Gnea, do I need to put it in quotes or anything?
[04:41] <Gnea> tsyj2007: I do believe #vim exists
[04:41] <Spaceghost> chelz, or both?
[04:41] <Gnea> Berzerker-: don't know. might just need to escape it.
[04:41] <tsyj2007> Gnea: yes,but you can do it a lot..
[04:41] <Gnea> tsyj2007: this is an Ubuntu support chat, not a VIM support chat.
[04:41] <mcurran> Anyone know the command/directory to have gnome terminal start as root by default - Like in KDE it would be sudo su or something and not /bin/bash.
[04:42] <tsyj2007> Gnea: yeah
[04:42] <chelz> Spaceghost: both, first update
[04:42] <Gnea> tsyj2007: so please, stay on topic.
[04:42] <Spaceghost> thanks, chelz I will try
[04:42] <tsyj2007> Gnea: ok ,thanx
[04:42] <chelz> rosechu: what tool in the script is doing the copying?
[04:42] <tsyj2007> Gnea:I  have know that..
[04:43] <Gnea> tsyj2007: now I have a question for you..
[04:43] <rosechu> cp
[04:43] <Gnea> tsyj2007: is english your first language?
[04:43] <tsyj2007> Gnea:I think not..
[04:43] <drum> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RyHDOCOoew
[04:43] <Gnea> tsyj2007: perhaps you might do better in an Ubuntu support chat that supports the language you are better at?
[04:44] <Ultraparadigm> Is it still nessessary to to create a SWAP partition for Linux?
[04:44] <tsyj2007> Gnea:my english is poor?
[04:44] <Out_Cold> so i have a fubar'd server install. I tried to set / inside LVM and now grub can't find it. I'm thinking i need to add a line to grub.cfg but i'm wondering how do i edit this if I can't get past grub loading?
[04:44] <arand> Ultraparadigm: With enough memory, no, if you want hibernation, yes
[04:44] <chelz> rosechu: what flags does cp use?
[04:44] <tsyj2007> Gnea:do you think so..
[04:45] <Gnea> tsyj2007: what language do you normally speak?
[04:45] <rosechu> actually, i just figured it out
[04:45] <Out_Cold> chelz, man cp. -r = recursive, -p = permissions, -v= verbose... and so on
[04:45] <chelz> Out_Cold: yep
[04:45] <tsyj2007> Gnea:is it important?
[04:46] <rosechu> well, someone else told me, heh... the drive I'm copying to is ntfs, doesn't support unix filesystem permissions\
[04:46] <Gnea> tsyj2007: it is if you want to help people and not make them mad
[04:46] <LFC_fan> i'm am trying Personal File Sharing in Ubuntu and installed apache2, now how do others access the files in Public Folder?
[04:46] <chelz> rosechu: actually ntfs does have a permissions system but ntfs-3g ignores it

[04:49] <chelz> Out_Cold: getting to a livecd or liveusb environment then chrooting would allow you to change grub
[04:50] <tsyj2007> Gnea:yeah,thanks,I think I was wrong once..
[04:50] <Out_Cold> can't change without being live though i guess... no way to edit from booting?

[04:57] <alien_> Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated
[04:57] <myron> Gnea: from lsinput "vendor  : 0x67b    product : 0x8103"
[04:58] <runarfreyr> Can anyone please help me with a network problem, Im behind a cisco switch. I can use the internet but text upload does not work very well and msn in empathy and / or any other client doesnt work as well. Believe me tried almost everything. Please if anyone is kind enough to help, been scratching my head for 12 hours over this :-/
[04:59] <runarfreyr> doesnt work at all
[04:59] <runarfreyr> Oh yeah and firewall is completely off
[04:59] <myron> Gnea: I have also tested it on two different computers (one with ubuntu 9.10 and one with ubuntu 8.04)
[05:00] <myron> Gnea: neither worked
[05:01] <myron> runarfreyr: when you say text upload you mean.....?
[05:01] <runarfreyr> Using ubuntu 10,04. Tried with 9,04 and 9,1. It worked with native windows. .. Myron I mean sites like blog sites and pastebin etc
[05:01] <chelz> runarfreyr: try other OSes, other computers, connecting directly without the switch, etc?
[05:01] <runarfreyr> It worked with native windows, not in virtualbox under linux though
[05:02] <chelz> runarfreyr: so this is happening after an upgrade to 10.04?
[05:02] <ubuntu123> my answer won't be wmware
[05:02] <runarfreyr> Nope,, always been like this
[05:02] <Gnea> myron: I don't see anything for it on the kernel side of things.... it might be so new that it hasn't been integrated yet.  try making a post on www.ubuntuforums.org about it, add as much detail as you can, like the output from lsusb -v
[05:02] <runarfreyr> it works when connecting directly to the main router but not through the switch, been trying to resolve this with the ISP
[05:03] <UbuntuBoy> Question: How do I set a program to it's default settings?
[05:03] <chelz> runarfreyr: the switch might be expecting ubuntu to do something that ubuntu's not doing
[05:03] <juan_> Hello out there to all of you vitamin d deprived people
[05:03] <chelz> UbuntuBoy: depends on the program
[05:03] <myron> runarfreyr: specifically, what is happening when you try to pastebin something?
[05:03] <runarfreyr> Nothing at all
[05:03] <rosechu> so, I have winxp home installed on vmware workstation, on ubuntu 9.10. I'm writing a script to copy files from ubuntu onto a internal drive that is accessible to the guest operating system. When I run the script, the files show up fine when I browse them on ubuntu, but they don't show up at all when I browse out there in winxp
[05:04] <juan_> when is this new distro of ubuntu happening
[05:04] <rosechu> I'm trying to figure out if this is an ubuntu thing or a vmware thing
[05:04] <runarfreyr> I figured maybe there are some settings in ubuntu, since native windows worked, ?
[05:04] <Guest34805> Ad-hoc mode in b43 has stopped working in ubuntu 9.10. any pointers to debug it?
[05:04] <kswan> juan_: ubuntu 10.04 is scheduled for release the end of April
[05:04] <gottto> rosechu: what file system is the internal drive?
[05:04] <rosechu> ntfs
[05:05] <gottto> k
[05:05] <juan_> what
[05:05] <chelz> rosechu: vmware isn't part of ubuntu so it isn't supported here. but you should look into vmware tools and folder sharing, since that's how it's done with vmware. you might try seeing of virtualbox does what you want, since it's fairly similar and also has a seamless mode
[05:05] <rosechu> i thought read/write is okay with that? :o
[05:05] <ARCHAN>  i cannot install a GDM theme with gnomeART ng ... it says error that it can not find a file.. how do i install gdm greeter ????   Installation is not possible!-No /etc/gdm/gdm.conf available . Thanks in advance for your reply.
[05:05] <juan_> I was expecting it to come out thursday
[05:05] <rosechu> I asked in #vmware too, because I'm not sure what the problem is
[05:05] <rosechu> vmware works fine
[05:05] <ubuntu123> lol, warning: salesman detected!
[05:05] <chelz> ARCHAN: copy and paste everything you get in the terminal when you try to run it into a pastebin post
[05:05] <UbuntuBoy> chelz: It is a game called Super Maryo (SMC in synaptic). I changed the resolution too high and can't switch it back. Is there a way to completely remove it and then reinstall it?
[05:06] <ARCHAN> chelz, ??
[05:06] <ARCHAN> chelz, terminal ?
[05:06] <myron> runarfreyr: the switch shouldn't be blocking anything it doesn't do anything with the information.... have you tried switching ports on the switch?
[05:06] <runarfreyr> yup
[05:06] <runarfreyr> Same thing, along with 3 reboots
[05:06] <chelz> UbuntuBoy: yes, in synaptic find it, right click and click on "completely remove". then apply changes. then install it again.
[05:06] <myron> Gnea: will do. Thanks for the help...
[05:06] <chelz> ARCHAN: yes, run it in a terminal
[05:06] <switch10_> UbuntuBoy: sudo apt-get purge <package name> && sudo apt-get install <package name>
[05:07] <juan_> I have an issue with finding a video driver that will work with ubuntu 9.10 I have a toshiba satellite 2405-s201
[05:07] <myron> runarfreyr:
[05:07] <juan_> laptop
[05:07] <ARCHAN> chelz, it is in my applications > sys tools > gnome  - art next gen
[05:07] <UbuntuBoy> chelz: did it like that and it still was set in the wrong res.
[05:07] <chelz> ARCHAN: what version of ubuntu are you on?
[05:07] <myron> Irunarfreyr: what router do you have?
[05:07] <ARCHAN> chelz, what command should  i execute ?
[05:07] <ARCHAN> chelz, karmic
[05:07] <ARCHAN> koala
[05:07] <chelz> UbuntuBoy: it probably stores its configuration settings somewhere in your home folder. you need to find them and move or remove them
[05:08] <UbuntuBoy> switch10_: I'll try tha.
[05:08] <juan_> If anyone knows of a website that has a video driver for my laptop I trully would appreciate it cause I don;t want to go back to windows xp
[05:08] <UbuntuBoy> chelz: Ok thanks
[05:08] <switch10_> UbuntuBoy: it is the same as you tried with synaptic
[05:08] <runarfreyr> The ISPs switch which Im talking about is a cisco 2900 catalyst. I have tried disabling my private switch, same thing so thats not the problem.
[05:09] <switch10_> UbuntuBoy: see if there is a hidden config folder in your /home
[05:09] <chelz> ARCHAN: how did you install it?
[05:09] <juan_> I truly do not want to switch to xp if I don't have to
[05:09] <ARCHAN> chelz, i installed it from ailurus .
[05:10] <runarfreyr> juan_ you dont have to. Use virtualbox or dualboot.
[05:10] <juan_> I already cleaned my hard drive and installed ubuntu
[05:10] <rosechu> okay, so.. I thought ntfs-3g allows read/write.. I copy to ntfs drive, and it doesn't show up in my windows xp guest operating system
[05:11] <ARCHAN> chelz, http://code.google.com/p/ailurus/ .. it is similar to ubuntu Tweak... from this, i installed  gnome art next gen
[05:11] <chelz> juan_: did you install ubuntu 9.10 karmic?
[05:11] <myron> runarfreyr: what isp are you using?
[05:11] <juan_> I can't make my visual effects go beyond the first option which is nothing I can't even make it normal
[05:11] <runarfreyr> Small one basicly, serves arround 12 apartments in the apartment block I live in
[05:11] <juan_> and I install Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic
[05:11] <switch10_> juan_: what kind of vid card is it?
[05:12] <rosechu> if it wouldn't be a huge burden, I'd wipe my ntfs drive and reformat it in fat32 or something.. wtf, why doesn't windows read what I add to the drive through ubuntu
[05:12] <juan_> It is a VGA card
[05:12] <kswan> juan_: did you try the Hardware Drivers menu under System --> Administration
[05:12] <switch10_> juan_: yes what brand/model
[05:12] <chelz> ARCHAN: uninstall it with ailurus
[05:12] <ARCHAN> chelz, and reinstall ?? i did that twice
[05:12] <chelz> ARCHAN: no, just uninstall it
[05:13] <chelz> ARCHAN: then do this: http://ubuntuguide.net/install-ubuntu-backgroundsiconslogin-themes-using-gnomeart-nextgen
[05:13] <juan_> I click System>administration>hardware drivers and nothing appears in the window
[05:13] <juan_> I am not sure which model it is switch10
[05:13] <UbuntuBoy> switch10_: yes, there is a data folder there, should I delete it?
[05:13] <ARCHAN> chelz, unintsalling.
[05:14] <chelz> switch10_: he said toshiba satellite 2405-s201
[05:14] <chelz> i'm looking for info on ubuntu on it
[05:14] <switch10_> UbuntuBoy: yes delete it if you are sure its for that game
[05:14] <myron> runarfreyr: hmmm..... so you tried plugging your computer directly into the isp's router and pastebin / blog services worked?
[05:14] <runarfreyr> Everything worked then
[05:15] <juan_> Its not the end of the world but it would be extremely sweet if I could enable the cube to show off of my friends how sweet Ubuntu is I even made fifteen copies to give out to my friends
[05:15] <gigetto> crank 2
[05:15] <ARCHAN> chelz, but there has no karmic version. what shall i click ?
[05:15] <Ultraparadigm> Does anyone here use a SWAP partition?
[05:15] <chelz> ARCHAN: download the jaunty one and follow the guide
[05:15] <nightsjammies> Wait, so is it possible to enable the cube?
[05:15] <ubuntu123> is ubuntu better than knoppix? how do you think?
[05:16] <ARCHAN> chelz, k
[05:16] <nightsjammies> Urp, sorry, wrong channel..
[05:16] <juan_> OK how do you find out what vga video card model you have in your laptop
[05:16] <chelz> !poll | ubuntu123
[05:16] <switch10_> juan_: sudo apt-get install sysinfo
[05:16] <chelz> nightsjammies: if you skip the part about the nvidia drivers, this might be of interest to you: http://www.howtoforge.com/enabling-compiz-fusion-on-an-ubuntu-9.10-desktop-nvidia-geforce-fx-5200
[05:16] <switch10_> juan_: its a gui that tells you all that important info
[05:17] <rosechu> can someone help me
[05:17] <chelz> !ask | rosechu
[05:17] <ARCHAN> chelz, it says "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: mono-common
[05:17] <ARCHAN> "
[05:17] <Juzzy> which pkg has base dev man pages like strstr?
[05:17] <rosechu> I've already asked it
[05:17] <nightsjammies> I've got nvidia, and I just upgraded to Lucid..
[05:17] <rosechu> I'll ask it again
[05:17] <juan_> sweet I am going to do that and I will be back
[05:17] <ARCHAN> chelz, and it's not in synaptic the monocommon
[05:17] <juan_> Ubuntu Rocks :)
[05:17] <switch10_> juan_: you have a TriStar 64C+ graphics card
[05:18] <nightsjammies> well, is nvidia 8200m 3d enabled?
[05:18] <rosechu> why doesn't windows xp see what I copy to a shared internal ntfs drive from ubuntu
[05:18] <juan_> He do you know that switch10
[05:18] <rosechu> and vice versa, I add to this drive through windows, ubuntu doesn't see the added files
[05:18] <chelz> ARCHAN: i just found this, it seems there's no version of gnomeart-ng for karmic because too many things have changed and it's taking a while to update it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=48c6c11add1c7bd5ce1bff992f61353c&p=8352731&postcount=4
[05:18] <switch10_> juan_: I used google and looked up your laptop model
[05:19] <juan_> sweet thank you so much
[05:19] <myron> runarfreyr: static ip or dynamic? And what specifically happens when you try to upload something with pastebin?
[05:19] <juan_> I appreciate it dearly
[05:19] <runarfreyr> Dynamic. Acts like theres no connection at all
[05:19] <runarfreyr> Does nothing
[05:19] <rww> juan_: manpages-dev
[05:20] <rww> sorry, mistab
[05:20] <rww> Juzzy: manpages-dev :)
[05:20] <switch10_> juan_: is yours the model with 256GB of ram and a 30gb HDD?
[05:20] <myron> runarfreyr: continues loading.... loads a blank page... times out.... ????
[05:20] <ARCHAN> chelz, ok :( thanks for your replies
[05:21] <juan_> I actually had my friend give me this laptop without a hard drive and so I went and bought a new one 250 gb
[05:21] <juan_> of hard drive
[05:21] <juan_> and I have 512 mb of memory
[05:21] <chelz> ARCHAN: sorry about that. you could try contacting the developer of that tool or installing jaunty if you really want to use it
[05:21] <ARCHAN> chelz, :-P
[05:21] <runarfreyr> Actually pastebin works now. Must have been the restart but msn is still not working. So ignore the text upload thing
[05:21] <switch10_> juan_: did you install sysinfo?
[05:22] <JohnnyDread> im having a pretty odd error (due to pretty odd circumstances) that google has as of yet been unable to help me with
[05:22] <juan_> No
[05:22] <switch10_> juan_: I am not finding anything good for that vid card
[05:22] <juan_> I have not
[05:22] <ARCHAN> chelz, should i need to install a older ubuntu to use this.. hahah! i don't wan tto.. i can wait till i get karmic version ;-)
[05:22] <rosechu> why doesn't windows xp see what I copy to a shared internal ntfs drive from ubuntu
[05:22] <juan_> uh that is going to suck
[05:22] <switch10_> juan_: do it.  hopefully you don't have that tristar
[05:23] <juan_> switch10 what do I put in the terminal to find out what graphics card I have
[05:23] <runarfreyr> lspci
[05:23] <chelz> !ask | JohnnyDread
[05:23] <runarfreyr> juan_
[05:23] <juan_> Yes
[05:23] <runarfreyr> juan_ : type lspci
[05:23] <JohnnyDread> I'm running 9.10 dual screen with and ATI card. The monitor are upside down and flipped within the display settings box. The issue is, when my mouse moves into the right hand screen a second mouse appears on the left hand screen and copies its movement. It cannot do anything, as the real mouse is in the 2nd screen
[05:23] <rosechu> sigh
[05:23] <JohnnyDread> sorry ubottu - was typing :)
[05:23] <juan_> ok I have done that
[05:24] <myron> runarfreyr: how are you connecting to msn on ubuntu?
[05:24] <chelz> juan_: so why do you need a gfx driver? what is the problem you are experiencing?
[05:24] <runarfreyr> empathy. What do you mean by how?
[05:24] <myron> runarfreyr: what service are you using? or are you just talking about msn.com
[05:24] <runarfreyr> juan:_ it says vga controller. What does it say there?
[05:24] <hyperviper> how do i get change my characters name???
[05:25] <juan_> I went to the visual effects option dialog and I click the normal option and it said searching for drivers and the another dialog pop up saying desktop could not something I forgot
[05:25] <runarfreyr> I use empathy with the default settings, so i guess its connecting through hotmail.
[05:25] <gottto> hyperviper: try /nick "newnick"
[05:25] <juan_> in laymans terms it said I couldn't switch
[05:25] <juan_> Do you know what I am talking about

[05:32] <switch10_> ok, first of all its a howto for breezy.  I have no idea if it will work on your version of ubuntu..  but here it is http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75393
[05:32] <UbuntuBoy> switch10_: Thanks for your help. It is invaluable to a newbie like me (I been using Ubuntu 5 months), I have some other questions so ill be sure to check sometime.
[05:32] <juan_> but I will try my best I always say where ever there is a problem there is always a solution
[05:33] <switch10_> UbuntuBoy: no problem
[05:33] <hyperviper> does anyone know how to change a name of a toon
[05:33] <gottto> hyperviper: try /nick "newnick"
[05:33] <runarfreyr> juan_: Just ask questions, read tutorials and try yourself ;)
[05:33] <juan_> True
[05:33] <myron> runarfreyr: hmmm... have you tried running empathy / pidgin from terminal to check the error reports?
[05:33] <juan_> Maybe one day with my help and others we will be a free software society
[05:33] <juan_> :)
[05:34] <runarfreyr> Wait. myron, gonna see if I get some errors up
[05:34] <disappearedng> what happened to gproftpd?
[05:35] <ubuntu123> there is a empathy sitting on the menu, what's it for?
[05:35] <coll> if im on ubuntu 9.10, when 10 comes out, can i just do an upgrade? or will this require a fresh install?
[05:35] <runarfreyr> no errors
[05:35] <runarfreyr> empathy is a IM app
[05:35] <myron> ubuntu123: its a universal chat client
[05:35] <ubuntu123> can it use irc?
[05:35] <myron> no
[05:35] <switch10_> coll: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:35] <NerdsMG> I just intalled 10.04 on my MacBook Pro. However, I have two hard drives, and GRUB seems to have taken completely over my Windows / Ubuntu drive instead of letting me use rEFIt. Any ideas how to get the bootloader to the partition instead of the MBR?
[05:35] <myron> sorry...
[05:35] <ubuntu123> i think that it's crappy as pidgin
[05:36] <ARCHAN> ubuntu123, but i like pidgin .
[05:36] <bazhang> NerdsMG, #ubuntu+1 for lucid
[05:36] <coll> switch10_, that will do the job?
[05:36] <runarfreyr> the latest that comes with 10,04 can
[05:36] <runarfreyr> And facebook
[05:36] <switch10_> coll:  yup thats it
[05:36] <ubuntu123> pidgin is on my blacklist, it's back by chinese
[05:36] <NerdsMG> Sorry. Thought it was a basic thing that a nub would over-look.
[05:36] <coll> thanks
[05:36] <ubuntu123> and its gui sucks
[05:36] <chelz> NerdsMG: you install grub to a partition instead of the root of the drive
[05:36] <switch10_> coll: and some cleanup may be necessary
[05:36] <NerdsMG> I tried that during the install and it yelled at me.
[05:37] <chelz> NerdsMG: what did it say
[05:37] <switch10_> coll: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean
[05:37] <juan_> Anymore info
[05:37] <coll> switch10_, i use the desktop version, i assume update manager will take care of everything?
[05:37] <NerdsMG> Error installing grub to /dev/sdb2
[05:37] <switch10_> coll: yup you can do it that way too.
[05:37] <coll> thanks
[05:37] <switch10_> coll: no problem
[05:38] <runarfreyr> Soo... Myron, thought of any suggestions? :-/
[05:38] <chelz> juan_: the gfx card you have does not support advanced fx
[05:38] <eremite> Does anyone know why freenode has a server named after L Ron Hubbard, head of the Scientology cult?
[05:38] <ZykoticK9> NerdsMG, typically Grub gets installed to the MBR of a drive such as /dev/sdb not to a partition /dev/sdb2 - just sayin'
[05:38] <juan_> I have a gfx card
[05:38] <Myrtti> eremite: why don't you ask in #freenode?
[05:39] <chelz> eremite: there're multiple people with the surname Hubbard. that's offtopic though
[05:39] <disappearedng> I can't find gproftpd in my repos why
[05:39] <juan_> how did you find this out chelz
[05:39] <myron> runarfreyr: sorry, got lost there.... do you have another IM account that you can test... AIM, yahoo?
[05:39] <NerdsMG> ZykoticK9: I wanted it on the partition because I already have rEFIt as a bootloader to pick the partition
[05:39] <chelz> NerdsMG: just do a standard "reinstall grub2" only install it to a partition this time, then reinstall refit
[05:39] <runarfreyr> jabber works. Havent tried yahoo. Gonna try it
[05:39] <ZykoticK9> NerdsMG, ok - so long as you know what your doing - it's all good.  best of luck.
[05:40] <runarfreyr> yahoo works
[05:40] <chelz> juan_: the lack of a driver in the Hardware Driver dialog and not being able to select features in Appearances
[05:40] <runarfreyr> so basicly its just msn
[05:40] <chelz> juan_: this bug applies: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/139953
[05:41] <Kutakizukari> Can anyone help with this question? https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+question/106073
[05:41] <juan_> ???
[05:41] <myron> runarfreyr: I'm wondering if this has more to do with the bug that was reported.... let me look a little more...
[05:41] <runarfreyr> ok. :) I guess I can smoke more cigarettes while drinking coffee and scratching my head :P
[05:41] <chelz> juan_: The savage graphics card does not yet work with Xgl, as it is missing required texture support. The error message from compiz will be as follows:  compiz: Support for non power of two textures missing
[05:42] <runarfreyr> Thanks myron for the help :)
[05:43] <juan_> ok so I type everyone of those sudo commands and I get back E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.12-10-386

[05:43] <coll> can you upgrade to the 10.04 beta now, and upgrade to the release when it comes out?
[05:43] <juan_> my bad
[05:43] <chelz> oh wow
[05:43] <switch10_> coll: I don't think so
[05:43] <juan_> chelz where do I put this info
[05:43] <juan_> that you have given me
[05:43] <chelz> juan_: er right. yeah if you compile your own kernel you i guess might get it to work
[05:44] <runarfreyr> It was possible with 9,10
[05:44] <chelz> juan_: eh ignore the stuff i've said so far
[05:44] <juan_> ok
[05:44] <switch10_> chelz: ya i sent him a link to do it..
[05:44] <chelz> switch10_: yeah i just saw that
[05:44] <chelz> sry
[05:45] <juan_> I tried everyone and I get back couldn't find package
[05:45] <juan_> is this normal
[05:45] <chelz> coll: you can but it's not recommended
[05:46] <Kutakizukari> Question got moved here can anyone help? https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/106073
[05:46] <juan_> I have a intel pentium 4
[05:46] <juan_> does that help
[05:46] <switch10_> juan_: all of those packages are old.  You have to find the new ones.  You have a lot of reading to do if you are planning on doing this.
[05:47] <coll> chelz, it's best to upgrade from 9.10?
[05:47] <chelz> coll: yes
[05:47] <coll> got it. thank you.
[05:47] <runarfreyr> coll you cant upgrade from 9,04, you first have to update to 9,1 and so on
[05:47] <myron> runarfreyr: well.... since pastebin is again working... can you post your empathy logs in ~/gnome2/empathy/logs
[05:47] <ubuntu123> why don't you just wait for next release?
[05:48] <runarfreyr> yup. 1 min myron
[05:48] <coll> runarfreyr, im on 9.10 right now.
[05:48] <ubuntu123> me too
[05:48] <myron> runarfreyr: if they aren't there try ~/.local/share/Empathy/logs
[05:49] <rww> myron: (psst, it's ~/.gnome2, not ~/gnome2)
[05:49] <ubuntu123> i have to say, the default theme of gnome sucks, it's too dark and for old men
[05:49] <runarfreyr> full path myron please
[05:49] <chelz> switch10_: i think as of intrepid savage cards support dri, per this manpage http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man4/savage.4.html
[05:50] <eremite> ubuntu123: the default Ubuntu theme is always ugly.  Change it if you dislike it.  It's easy to customize the theme.
[05:50] <eremite> Of course, opinions are subjective
[05:50] <chelz> switch10_:        Option "DRI" "boolean"              Enable DRI support.  [...]  Default: "on"
[05:50] <runarfreyr> Actually eremite, your gonna get surprised when you see 10,04. Its the first ubuntu that looks amazing :)
[05:50] <lifestream> Is it possible to limit how much CPU a program can use? Say, I want to cap it at 50%. ('nice' doesn't do this, it just makes the program slower)
[05:50] <myron> runarefreyr: /home/"user"//gnome2/empathy/logs or /home/"user"/.local/share/Empathy/logs
[05:50] <jmuniz> does anyone know where I can get ubuntuone support besides the irc channel? There doesn't seem to be anyone around there.
[05:50] <runarfreyr> myron can you give me the full path?
[05:50] <chelz> juan_: open up a terminal
[05:50] <eremite> runarfreyr: Ive seen it.  It's ugly purple garbage.
[05:51] <runarfreyr> the site Im gonna paste it to :)
[05:51] <myron> runarefreyr: /home/"user"/.gnome2/empathy/logs or /home/"user"/.local/share/Empathy/logs
[05:51] <runarfreyr> oh shit
[05:51] <runarfreyr> ignore
[05:51] <runarfreyr> I need to sleep

[05:51] <FloodBot1> runarfreyr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:51] <rww> runarfreyr: watch your language, please
[05:51] <chelz> juan_: type "compiz" (without the quotes) and press enter. then copy and paste its output into a pastebin
[05:51] <myron> runarfreyr: http://www.pastebin.com
[05:51] <runarfreyr> I know :)
[05:51] <switch10_> juan_: that is interesting.  make sure you back up xorg before making changes...
[05:52] <myron> :)
[05:52] <soreau> chelz: Is there a savage driver that might be capable of running compiz now?
[05:52] <juan_> it says checking for Xgl: not present
[05:52] <chelz> juan_: please pastebin it all
[05:53] <chelz> soreau: if there is i would think it would be included with ubuntu
[05:53] <soreau> juan_: That is not a problem. Pastebin the complete output to pastebin.com
[05:53] <runarfreyr> amazing. And now I cant paste to pastebin :-/
[05:53] <juan_> Checking for Xgl: not present.
[05:53] <juan_> xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:53] <juan_> No whitelisted driver found

[05:54] <myron> runarfreyr: hmmm and what is it doing?
[05:54] <jenia> i want to use eclipse to run and bebug my php files
[05:54] <runarfreyr> timing out it seems :-/
[05:54] <Mardok_> I'm trying to run Ubuntu with no monitor and only connect to it through VNC, but X won't start since no monitor is connected.  Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
[05:54] <runarfreyr> trying paste ubuntu
[05:54] <myron> runarfreyr: ok
[05:55] <juan_> thats what I got when I type compiz in the terminal
[05:55] <chelz> juan_: pastebin the output
[05:55] <chelz> juan_: http://paste.ubuntu.com
[05:55] <eremite> I only have 1 VGA port in the back of my computer.  Is it possibel to have dual monitors without buying a new graphics card, or can I use a splitter of some sort?
[05:56] <soreau> juan_: Try SKIP_CHECKS=1 compiz &
[05:56] <rodrigo> ola
[05:56] <chelz> eremite: there are spanning devices that make multiple monitors work with one video card, but it's almost always better to get a video card that supports multiple monitors
[05:56] <runarfreyr> eremite, with just one vga. Sadly no. Splitter would just split the same image to two monitors
[05:56] <yeryry> heh.. caps lock LED flashes when laptop crashes.. reminds me of an amiga ;)
[05:56] <jmcantrell> anyone use nautilus-actions? i can't get anything to show up in nautilus

[05:57] <runarfreyr> Thanks in advance
[05:57] <eremite> runarfreyr: what about displaying one of my virtual desktops on the other monitor?  Is that possible?
[05:57] <myron> eremite: that would require another video card.....
[05:57] <runarfreyr> I thnk not. I think you need to invest in another card
[05:58] <tiziazrou> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/EmSrfMk8  what happen with this please
[05:58] <myron> runarfreyr: hold on let me check something
[05:58] <runarfreyr> ok
[05:59] <Mardok_> gottto: Just my passwd file

[06:00] <Mardok_> gottto: Is that pretty much a .xinitrc file?
[06:01] <gottto> Mardok_: not really - I'll paste mine one min
[06:01] <myron> runarfreyr: try to paste it again to pastebin.com. It's possible that the post is going through, but the confirmation is not coming back to you.....
[06:02] <myron> runarfreyr: name the post empathy. I will watch for it
[06:02] <runarfreyr> Trying to paste a chopped down version
[06:03] <gottto> Mardok_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/406865/

[06:03] <gottto> np
[06:04] <Out_Cold> i'm trying to learn a bit about chroot-ing can i mount lvm parts then chroot into one?
[06:04] <gottto> Mardok_: and it is called   xstartup
[06:04] <chelz> Out_Cold: yep. you can chroot into any dir.
[06:05] <chelz> Out_Cold: i like this chroot setup: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7258942&postcount=1
[06:05] <Out_Cold> yea ok.. so i guess i should pull out the bt4 and pray..
[06:06] <runarfreyr> myron, i just get the php back from pastebin :-/ trying paste.ubuntu .... poster runarfreyr
[06:06] <gottto> Mardok_: I forgot that in my .xinitrc I have startfluxbox so you need something in that file
[06:07] <myron> runarfreyr: ok
[06:07] <myron> runarfreyr: what was the php message?
[06:08] <runarfreyr> post.php 0 bytes
[06:08] <juan_> hello
[06:08] <chelz> Out_Cold: i'd actually recommend an ubuntu livecd or liveusb when dealing with ubuntu systems, but your call
[06:08] <juan_> switch10 are you there
[06:08] <Mardok_> gottto: X still won't start because there's no screen anyway
[06:09] <juan_> Something went wrong everything froze
[06:09] <gottto> Mardok_: did you chmod +x the xstartup file?
[06:09] <Berzerker> anyone here use gwibber?
[06:09] <Out_Cold> chelz, i was just thinking that the lvm packages and much of what i need is already on the bt4 and really it is just ubuntu
[06:09] <switch10_> juan_: I am here..
[06:09] <juan_> hey chelz what do i put in where it says poster
[06:09] <runarfreyr> And it looks as its timing out... I really want to drive over that switch :P
[06:10] <dj_segfault> Can someone recommend a program that can remove cover art from MP3 files?  I'm hitting a bug in Banshee that prevents ipod sync for files over a certain size
[06:10] <juan_> sorry guys I had to reboot everything froze
[06:10] <runarfreyr> Can I paste it in private chat myron?
[06:10] <myron> runarfreyr: sure
[06:11] <switch10_> juan_: you backed up /etc/x11/xorg before you messed with it right??
[06:11] <chelz> juan_: you can put in whatever you want, but probably "juan_" would be good
[06:11] <juan_> I am new
[06:11] <juan_> :)
[06:12] <juan_> This is all exciting to me
[06:12] <juan_> and no I did not back up
[06:12] <juan_> besides I can reinstall I have a copy of ubuntu
[06:12] <fungo_> I think I have a problem with the command sudo apt-get update.when I run it,it won't stop.
[06:12] <{o-o}> any hostmaster here?
[06:12] <ZykoticK9> dj_segfault, EasyTag can remove mp3 art
[06:12] <juan_> there is not anything worth caring about if I lost it
[06:12] <chelz> switch10_: i don't think he messed with it
[06:12] <chelz> juan_: why did your system freeze?
[06:13] <juan_> not sure
[06:13] <switch10_> chelz: ha, ok, good
[06:13] <{o-o}> any good for serving in an internet?
[06:13] <dj_segfault> ZykoticK9: Thanks.  I tried EasyTag.  I highlighted all 6000+ files and told it to remove the cover art, and a few hours later when it said it was done, the directory was the same size.  I suppose I could try again.
[06:13] <switch10_> juan_: what command did you type before it froze?
[06:13] <gottto> Mardok_: here's the default xstartup - see that it uses twm - twm comes with X - you need X installed
[06:14] <gottto> http://paste.ubuntu.com/406868/
[06:14] <fungo_> it seems that it always get the same thing,but never hit,so he always try to do the same thing without result.
[06:14] <juan_> compiz
[06:14] <ZykoticK9> dj_segfault, the art in mp3 isn't going to take up much room (per-file i mean)
[06:14] <juan_> I will right back
[06:14] <{o-o}> hi everyone
[06:14] <Mardok_> gottto: When VNC connects, it just gives me an error message saying "Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode" and some logs basically saying "there's no monitor"

[06:14] <{o-o}> just wanna ask if someone know about free hosting unlimited.
[06:15] <fungo_> any one can help?
[06:15] <rww> ubottu: ot | {o-o}
[06:15] <tsyj2007> fungo_: what
[06:15] <tsyj2007> fungo_: Can I help you?
[06:15] <{o-o}> no i mean im not serving my own server
[06:16] <fungo_> tsyj2007: when I run sudo apt-get update it never stop
[06:16] <{o-o}> just wanna have free unlimited server.
[06:16] <chelz> fungo_: you possibly added that cn99.com site as a package source
[06:16] <gottto> Mardok_: which logs pls?
[06:16] <fungo_> yes
[06:16] <Deathvalley122> {o-o}: I use to do unlimited free hosting
[06:16] <fungo_> I'm in china
[06:16] <eremite> {o-o}: Impossible.  They do not exist.
[06:16] <dj_segfault> ZykoticK9: Normally you would be right.  Banshee has two serious bugs (neither on the list to be fixed anytime soon): one is that it downloads images that are much bigger than your normal cover art thumbnail and does not resize them, and the other is if the total repository size gets over a certain size it starts throwing internal errors and the sync dies.
[06:16] <chelz> {o-o}: this channel is for ubuntu discussion
[06:16] <chelz> !cn | fungo_
[06:16] <tsyj2007> fungo_: does your net well
[06:16] <bazhang> {o-o}, its offtopic here
[06:16] <{o-o}> okay im new here sorry
[06:17] <fungo_> ubottu: I have tried,but no answer
[06:17] <ZykoticK9> dj_segfault, i've never used Banshee so i wouldn't know.  Best of luck man, hope you find a fix!
[06:17] <Mardok_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/406870/
[06:17] <Deathvalley122> eremite: thats not entirely true cause I used to do unlimited free hosting
[06:18] <eremite> Deathvalley122: so, I cuold upload 10TB and you woldnt have cared?
[06:18] <bazhang> Deathvalley122, it has nothing to do with ubuntu support, please remain on topic
[06:18] <fungo_> chelz: is there any problem with the source cn99.com
[06:18] <dj_segfault> ZykoticK9: OK, thanks.  I guess I'll try EasyTag again.  I haven't found another program that syncs with ipods (as opposed to dragging and dropping files) like Banshee does, so I'm kinda stuck.
[06:18] <gottto> Mardok_: are you still using gdm on that comp? - you need to stop it and just boot it to cli
[06:18] <chelz> fungo_: if apt-get update or update manager is hanging there, then maybe
[06:19] <ZykoticK9> dj_segfault, try applying to just a few first and verify that it's working (before letting it loose on your whole collection)
[06:19] <Mardok_> gottto: Ah, okay
[06:19] <Deathvalley122> lol drive don't go that high but yes we use to do unlimited free hosting eremite not anymore though
[06:20] <eremite> Deathvalley122: then it wasnt unlimited, by definition.  Anyone that's off topic.
[06:20] <fungo_> chelz:maybe what?
[06:21] <mohan2> hi
[06:21] <chelz> fungo_: maybe there could be a problem with taht
[06:21] <Deathvalley122> lol its funny I tried to advertise my hostin WHT I think its called and they gave me a warning about my unlimited specs I had lol
[06:21] <bazhang> !ot > Deathvalley122
[06:22] <Alcor> ne1 get their Ubuntu load from OSDisc.com?
[06:22] <eremite> Alcor: no.  I always get my Ubuntu from Ubuntu.
[06:23] <fungo_> chelz: I'll change a source sever
[06:23]  * Deathvalley122 has pms turned off
[06:23] <mohan2> How can I use my mic and line as sound output, I am using jaunty 9.04.
[06:23] <eremite> mohan2: open a terminal nad type "alsamixer"
[06:23] <mohan2> *line-in
[06:23] <eremite> and**
[06:23] <mohan2> it's not working
[06:23] <chelz> fungo_: pastebin the output of this in a terminal:  sudo apt-get update
[06:23] <chelz> !pastebin | fungo_
[06:24] <eremite> Are you sure the volume is turned up in alsamixer for line-in?
[06:24] <switch10_> mohan2: alsamixer is not working??
[06:24] <rww> ubottu: ot | Deathvalley122: enjoy
[06:24] <mohan2> Alsamixer is working
[06:24] <jimbeam12> hey everyone
[06:25] <mohan2> but I'm not getting sound output
[06:25] <jimbeam12> worked one problem now the other lol
[06:25] <switch10_> mohan2: turn up the volume for your mic
[06:25] <jimbeam12> anyone have a ati card under ubuntu
[06:25] <fungo_> chelz: pastebin the output of this in a terminal????
[06:25] <unitheory> it is pointless to try to install proprietary nvidia graphics drivers on a live usb start-up disk, because i'd have to reboot to use them and changes would be lost. Is this correct?
[06:25] <switch10_> mohan2: in alsamixer
[06:25] <rww> unitheory: yes
[06:25] <Mardok_> gottto: I removed gdm from the runlevel and rebooted the machine, but it's doing the same thing.
[06:25] <unitheory> rww, thank you
[06:25] <mohan2> Nopes, I want to know how to tune line-in or mic as output.
[06:25] <chelz> fungo_: run the command in a terminal then copy it all into a pastebin at the url here: http://paste.ubuntu.com
[06:26] <rww> unitheory: unless the liveUSB is set up to have persistant storage, in which case I think the changes might be saved
[06:26] <jimbeam12> anyone know how to control fans speed have an ati hd5700
[06:26] <fungo_> chelz:get it
[06:26] <unitheory> rww, i used ubuntu's start-up disk creator and selected the option to save changes
[06:26] <ZykoticK9> Mardok_, if you want to disable GDM from Karmic use "sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf /etc/init/gdm.conf-disabled"
[06:26] <jimbeam12> downloaded the drivers but there is no option in the catylist drivers
[06:27] <rww> unitheory: that's what I mean by persistant. So yeah, it might save them in that case.
[06:27] <Mardok_> ZykoticK9: ??? Coming from the Gentoo user point of view, that's extremely weird, but okay :P
[06:28] <voss749> Gentoo has users?
[06:28] <Mardok_> touche
[06:28] <eremite> lol
[06:28] <ZykoticK9> !runlevels > Mardok_
[06:28] <eremite> I'd use Gentoo, but its been compiling since 2001 -__
[06:28] <ZykoticK9> Mardok_, that should blow your mind then ;)
[06:29] <rww> now now, play nice with the other distros. Gentoo doesn't take 9 years to compile... mine got done after 3 years.
[06:29] <mohan2> I feeling like I'm ignored.
[06:29] <Out_Cold> !ignore
[06:29] <mohan2> :(
[06:29] <ibm> how to chat between intern network
[06:29] <Out_Cold> oops lol
[06:29] <eremite> mohan2: be patient,  Not everyone is an expert in yoour specific problem.
[06:29] <Out_Cold> mohan2, whats your question?
[06:29] <ubuntu123> eremite, don't worry, just keep upgrade your gentoo, it will screw itself somedays.
[06:29] <switch10_> mohan2: you are trying to use your mic as an output.  I have no idea how, or why you would want to do that
[06:30] <chelz> ibm: you want to chat on an intranet?
[06:30] <ibm> chelz: yes
[06:30] <chelz> ibm: ask any of your bosses or coworkers that run linux what they use
[06:30] <{o-o}> hi anyone know how to add friends here as bookmark?
[06:30] <ubuntu123> the intranet chat is insane, you have phones
[06:31] <mohan2> Actually, my sound out pin is not working, so I configured mic and line-in as sound outputs.(in windows easily)
[06:31] <mohan2> I have realtek sound card
[06:31] <fungo_> chelz:done,then how? this is url:http://paste.ubuntu.com/406873/
[06:32] <mohan2> How could I do it with Ubuntu?
[06:32] <ibm> chelz: ???
[06:32] <jimbeam12> anyone?
[06:32] <chelz> ibm: ask any of your bosses or coworkers that run linux what they use
[06:32] <eremite> mohan2: you have tried turning up alsamixer, and made sure that your line-in is not muted and is in fact enabled?
[06:32] <chelz> ibm: ask them what they use to chat
[06:32] <ubuntu123> ibm, your hdds suck
[06:33] <chelz> fungo_: go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[06:33] <bazhang> ubuntu123, that is not helpful
[06:33] <switch10_> mohan2: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-ke/2009-June/000335.html
[06:33] <mohan2> Please let me know is it possible or impossible with ubuntu. Atleast tell me that
[06:33] <ubuntu123> yeah, don't beat a dead horse
[06:33] <andruk> grub on karmic (so grub 2) dies with "error: unknown filesystem" into grub rescue mode, and when i try to use "lsmod" it says "Unknown command `lsmod'"
[06:33] <chelz> fungo_: then click on the updown arrows to the right of "Download from:"
[06:33] <eremite> mohan2: its possible, you just need to answer the questions so we can help you figure out why you cant get sound working
[06:33] <bazhang> ubuntu123, this is not the chat channel; #ubuntu-offtopic for chat NOT here
[06:33] <switch10_> mohan2: of course it is possible... I just have never done it.
[06:33] <chelz> andruk: did this happen right after install?
[06:34] <ibm> chelz:ym
[06:34] <chelz> ibm: what?
[06:34] <Soli> mohan2: You could check out Jack. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JACK_Audio_Connection_Kit. Look for QjackCtl.
[06:35] <ubuntu123> bazhang, could you please stop to answer me? just leave me alone
[06:35] <ibm> chelz: yahoo mesenger
[06:35] <chelz> ibm: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[06:35] <mohan2> thanks @Soli
[06:35] <rww> ubuntu123: It's generally a good idea to listen to people trying to give you advice, instead of brushing them off :\
[06:36] <ibm> chelz: ubuntu 9.10
[06:36] <costre> smplayer with vdpau support made my ubuntuinstallation complete. 1080p now plays back perfectly :)
[06:36] <Soli> Jack sould work with the standard ALSO sound driver as well.
[06:36] <ubuntu123> i have a good idea about how can you fight against chinese pets
[06:36] <Soli> s/ALSO/ALSA/
[06:36] <mohan2> @soli I did loads of google before asking the query here.
[06:37] <ibm> chelz: ubuntu 9.10
[06:37] <eremite> mohan2: first result - http://www.ubuntugeek.com/simple-guide-to-sound-solutions-for-hardyintrepid-and-jaunty-jackalope-users.html
[06:37] <chelz> ibm: go to Applications -> Internet -> Empathy
[06:38] <chelz> ibm: if it's the first time you are running it, you should be shown a setup wizard
[06:38] <chelz> fungo_: still there?
[06:38] <fungo_> chelz:yes
[06:39] <chelz> fungo_: after clicking on the updown arrows, click on Other
[06:39] <chelz> fungo_: are you at that step?
[06:39] <mohan2> I have alsa and pulse @eremite
[06:39] <fungo_> chelz:there is no updown arrows?
[06:40] <chelz> fungo_: are you in Software Sources?
[06:40] <eremite> mohan2: what release?
[06:40] <chelz> ibm: is it working?
[06:41] <fungo_> chelz: sorry,
[06:41] <kingleo_> ciao perchè non riesco a visualizzare filmati in you tube?
[06:41] <chelz> !it | kingleo_
[06:41] <bootninja> howdy folks.  how are y'all doing tonight?
[06:41] <ibm> chelz: i am trying. thanks
[06:41] <eremite> mohan2: http://tinyurl.com/yap3amw
[06:41] <chelz> !hi | bootninja
[06:42] <gottto> Mardok_: I found your prob - you need an xorg.conf file with a monitor section cause it is autodetecting that one isn't there and freaking out
[06:42] <chelz> ibm: alright. if you run into any trouble just ask here.
[06:42] <andruk> chelz, no it happened after i imported a partition into virtualbox and tried to boot off of the hard drive.  :-)  slightly outside the normal mode of operation, i admit.
[06:42] <fungo_> chelz:which server you recommend?
[06:42] <chelz> andruk: did you try to boot the partition you were currently running?
[06:43] <bootninja> I'm having a bit of a sound issue.  everything works great on the laptop speakers, but when I plug in headphones, suddenly I have nothing.
[06:43] <mohan2> Friend I referred this link to configure sound card but it doesn't helped me. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SurroundSound
[06:43] <chelz> fungo_: click on the "Select Best Server" button
[06:43] <mohan2> @eremite
[06:43] <crazy2k> How can I make a nice banner for ssh?
[06:43] <nightsjammies> How would I go about installing one of the themes from here: http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter
[06:44] <chelz> crazy2k: That's called a SSH Login Banner. Instructions can be found here: http://www.review-ninja.com/2009/05/login-banner-ssh-banner-howto.html
[06:44] <ZykoticK9> nightsjammies, if you are using 9.10 it's probably easiest just to believe there is no such things as GDM themes
[06:45] <Guest84409> wi ftw
[06:45] <crazy2k> chelz: No. I know how to make it appear, I just need a nice banner.
[06:45] <chelz> nightsjammies: it's not easy, but here's some info for it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1292533
[06:45] <nightsjammies> I'm actually using 10.4, so I'm in the wrong channel. Oops.
[06:45]  * aetaric yawns
[06:45] <chelz> crazy2k: you can try generating some text with figlet or using a search engine to find ascii art you like
[06:45] <fungo_> chelz:seems problem has been solved
[06:45] <Alcor> goodnight all
[06:45] <chelz> fungo_: good to hear! :)
[06:46] <crazy2k> chelz: Thanks :)
[06:46] <nomad77> crazy2k: or use linux_logo/figlet etc.
[06:46] <fungo_> chelz:thank you
[06:46] <crazy2k> nomad77: What is that?
[06:47] <Soli> mohan2: What you probably need is the "Connection" and "Patchbay" screens of QjackCtl. Look near the bottom of http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/qjackctl-ss1.html
[06:48] <fungo_> thanks tsyj2007 too for helps
[06:48] <nomad77> crazyy2k: its basically an /etc/issue but you could borrow the banner,then mod it
[06:48] <chelz> andruk: well assuming that's what you did, booting to an ubuntu livecd or liveusb, opening Partition Editor and right clicking on the partition, clicking "Check" then hitting the Apply button should be done
[06:48] <Mardok_> gottto: I'll give it a shot
[06:48] <Soli> mohan2: Beware, you can easily screw your audio setting with that amount of tweaking power.
[06:48] <mohan2> @Soli, Thanks for help. I will do it now.
[06:49] <bootninja> I found a thread on the forums that walked me through upgrading alsa, but that didn't help anything.  It's been a while since I've run linux, so I'm not sure I remember what all info even helps with troubleshooting these kinds of issues
[06:49] <bootninja> I do know that all my mixer settings are correct.  nothing is muted
[06:49] <crazy2k> chelz: For some reason, I don't see the characters well-aligned when login remotely, and I'm using the same terminal with the same font I'm using here. What could be the reason?
[06:49] <chelz> bootninja: have you gone through the soundtroubleshooting wiki article?
[06:50] <bootninja> I guess that should be my next step :)
[06:50] <chelz> !sound | bootninja
[06:51] <chelz> crazy2k: are you using the same OS in both places?
[06:51] <ZykoticK9> bootninja, if you are using Karmic 9.10 be sure to start with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems/KarmicCaveats
[06:51] <gottto> Mardok_: you should try and fix line 167 in the Xorg log - (WW) Warning, couldn't open module i810
[06:51] <nomad77> crazy2k: http://deater.net/weave/vmwprod/linux_logo/
[06:51] <msandbu> anyone know of any terminal-based temprature monitoring software?
[06:51] <crazy2k> chelz: Ubuntu 9.10 at both places.
[06:52] <bootninja> isn't lmsensors the goto temp monitor?
[06:52] <hanasaki> is there a rdp server program for ubuntu?
[06:52] <ubuntu123> just type 'sensors' in your console
[06:52] <ubuntu123> then you get everything
[06:53] <chelz> crazy2k: it might be a tabs vs spaces thing or if you changed the fonts in use in your terminal
[06:53] <crazy2k> chelz: If I try to ssh localhost in this machine, the text is wrong too.
[06:53] <chelz> !vnc | hanasaki
[06:53] <bootninja> thanks for the resources.  I'll go peruse them for a bit
[06:53] <chelz> crazy2k: it's probably tabs vs spaces. try editing the file using a terminal editing program like nano
[06:53] <crazy2k> chelz: I just did "figlet my-banner > /etc/issue.net"
[06:54] <crazy2k> chelz: It's all spaces.
[06:54] <hanasaki> yes but chelz vnc does not work..  need a gdm login screen and its busted in karmic
[06:54] <Zenker> is there a way to change the sensors to F°?
[06:54] <Guest84409> \q
[06:54] <ubuntu123> in the /etc
[06:55] <chelz> crazy2k: what does it look like when you "cat /etc/issue.net"?
[06:55] <chelz> !FreeNX | hanasaki
[06:55] <chelz> hanasaki: there's also ssh x forwarding, but it's a bit different than rdp
[06:56] <crazy2k> chelz: Looks perfect. I'm noticing the one that appears when sshing has some exta "\
[06:56] <crazy2k> "
[06:56] <ubuntu123> it's 'Ubuntu 9.10', in my issue.net
[06:57] <ubuntu123> what's the 'issue.net' file for?
[06:57] <crazy2k> chelz: In the original it's "| '_ \ /" in some place, and in the other it's "| '_ \\ /"
[06:57] <bullgard> How can I determine my video driver for my VGA compatible controller Intel Mobile 915GM?
[06:57] <hanasaki> chelz:  yes but vnc or rdp are my only options.. network security constraints
[06:57] <crazy2k> ubuntu123: A banner that gets displayed when sshing to some computer if that computer has the banner option enabled and pointing to that file.
[06:58] <ubuntu123> so, it's useless then i can delete it
[06:58] <Shazballs> IF YOU WANT TO
[06:58] <ubuntu123> lol
[06:59] <ubuntu123> for security!
[06:59] <crazy2k> chelz: It seems to be a common problem.
[06:59] <Shazballs> srsly mahn
[06:59] <crazy2k> chelz: Extra slashes.
[06:59] <chelz> crazy2k: yeah i found this http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=505378
[06:59] <GSF1200S> anyone use skype on ubuntu?
[06:59] <Shazballs> yes
[06:59] <Serraphyn> Anyone know an application to develop flash files in Ubuntu?
[06:59] <Shazballs> no
[06:59] <chelz> GSF1200S: i know of people that use it
[06:59] <hanasaki> chelz:  really I need the unix rdp server so that windows can tget to it easy
[06:59] <Shazballs> I only answer yes or no questions
[07:00] <Rudd-O> quick usre question: I have 9.10 installed and I want to force a SPECIFIC KERNEL to boot with grub2.  how do I do that?
[07:00] <GSF1200S> chelz: im just wondering if static and weird noises is typical over skype
[07:00] <Rudd-O> GSF1200S: it is not.
[07:00] <Shazballs> Rudd-O, did you install the kernel?
[07:00] <bazhang> Shazballs, chat elsewhere please
[07:00] <Shazballs> I'm not chatting sir.
[07:00] <Rudd-O> Shazballs: no, the latest kernel update freezes the machine when using wireless, so I want to use th eolder kernel
[07:01] <Shazballs> Rudd-O, well you have to install the kernel to boot from the kernel
[07:01] <GSF1200S> Rudd-0: it should be completely clear? Its not horrible, but I get this faint static and then quiet popping sounds
[07:01] <chelz> hanasaki: you'd use xrdp then. http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/xrdp
[07:01] <chelz> hanasaki: sudo apt-get install xrdp
[07:01] <hanasaki> chelz:  done.  never got the thing to work.. have you gotten xrdp to work?
[07:01] <chelz> hanasaki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xrdp and http://xrdp.sourceforge.net/
[07:01] <chelz> hanasaki: i haven't tried. but that seems to be the only option for rdp support. i suggest vnc if you just can't seem to get xrdp to work.
[07:02] <chelz> GSF1200S: do you experience that with any other programs that use your mic on ubuntu?
[07:02] <GSF1200S> no
[07:02] <brontosaurusrex> GSF1200S: can you use anything else than mic input to test the transfer? (like an audio file), then you could split the test to at least two parts: 1. transmission 2. whats up with my cra** mic
[07:02] <crazy2k> chelz: And it's not fixed in the latest version in Ubuntu 9.10
[07:02] <hanasaki> chelz: issue is that the vncserver option does not work.. its busted in karmic
[07:02] <Rudd-O> Shazballs: ok, let me explain
[07:02] <Rudd-O> there are TWO kernels installed
[07:03] <chelz> hanasaki: look over this: http://www.mexlinux.com/how-to-install-xrdp-in-ubuntu/
[07:03] <Rudd-O> the one that ships with ubuntu, and an update.  the update HANGS the machine.  but booting with the one tha tships with ubuntu, is FINE
[07:03] <Rudd-O> now, I want to force the specific kernel tha tWORKS, to boot
[07:03] <Rudd-O> but grub2 is dynamic and there seems no way to be do what I want to do
[07:03] <Rudd-O> because it will fail as soon as the kernel is updated if I set a specific kernel to boot, because it is with numbers
[07:03] <GSF1200S> brontosaurusrex, chelz: My sound works fine and clear on exaile, I can record sounds via sound recorder and its clear. But, i get static on skype- its not horrible, but its there
[07:04] <Rudd-O> like default=0, that will fail
[07:04] <ubuntuboy> j sex
[07:04] <chelz> hanasaki: http://ubuntuwiki.net/index.php/Xrdp,_installing
[07:04] <switch10_> Rudd-O: remove the kernel that does not work in synaptic, then update-grub
[07:05] <brontosaurusrex> GSF1200S: i'am saying (if it is possible) the other side can send you a clean audio file via skype voice protocol, so you can check if this has anything to do with transmission itself
[07:05] <chelz> Rudd-O: finding out why the newer kernel has issues might help
[07:05] <chelz> GSF1200S: do you have the latest skype from skype.com?
[07:05] <switch10_> Rudd-O: or you could install startup-manager and use it to boot from the older kernel.
[07:05] <GSF1200S> chelz: yes
[07:05] <Rudd-O> chelz: I dont have time for that.  the machine DEADLOCKS and I can't wait until the bug report gets through and it gets fixed.
[07:06] <Rudd-O> switch10_: startup-manager
[07:06] <Rudd-O> interesting
[07:06] <switch10_> Rudd-O: its in synaptic
[07:06] <Rudd-O> there is no startup-manager
[07:06] <Rudd-O> No se pudo encontrar ningún paquete cuyo nombre o descripción coincida con "startup-manager"
[07:06] <Rudd-O> name is wrong
[07:06] <chelz> Rudd-O: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StartUpManager
[07:06] <Rudd-O> it is startupmanager together
[07:06] <Rudd-O> letme update the system first
[07:06] <Rudd-O> and I will install it later
[07:07] <Rudd-O> thanks for the tip, that was really helpful
[07:07] <chelz> !enter | Rudd-O
[07:07] <switch10_> Rudd-O: sudo apt-get install startupmanager
[07:07] <chelz> Rudd-O: of course the caveat of using a gui to mess with system files applies, stuff could break
[07:07] <Rudd-O> switch10_: yeah, that I know.  been managing debian and ubuntu systems for five years now :-) did an aptitude search to find the name of the package.
[07:08] <Rudd-O> chelz: sure, I already backed up the stuff.
[07:08] <bullgard> How can I determine my video driver for my VGA compatible controller Intel Mobile 915GM?
[07:09] <Rudd-O> bullgard: we can tell you that right now: the video driver name is 'intel'
[07:10] <bullgard> Rudd-O: But video.c: "ACPI Video Driver". Why this 'ACPI'?
[07:10] <Rudd-O> bullgard: meh!  that I do not know.
[07:11] <bootninja> ok, it looks like maybe I'm using the wrong codec.  according to the alsa-info script, I have an snd-hda-intel chip, using STAC9205 codec.  but when I look up that codec in ALSA-Configuration.txt, the 9205 only seems to talk about dells, and my laptop is a gateway.
[07:11] <Rudd-O> that is likely a subdriver for the ACPI powr management inside the card
[07:11] <Rudd-O> ahhhh
[07:11] <Rudd-O> AUDIO driver
[07:12] <razz1> has anyone used NXserver to remotely access another computer, How hard is it to set it up?
[07:12] <bootninja> does that sound like a reasonable conclusion, or am I not understanding this correctly?
[07:12] <bullgard> Rudd-O: What does your message: "AUDIO driver" mean?
[07:12] <roycebarber> yo peeps
[07:12] <chelz> bullgard: are you experiencing a problem?
[07:12] <chelz> !hi | roycebarber
[07:13]  * roycebarber has a question about usb wifi dongles. what would be a good one to buy? mine isn't supported!
[07:13] <bootninja> I dunno.  I've never had any luck with usb wireless
[07:13] <switch10_> roycebarber: look for something with a ralink chipset
[07:13] <Azh> hey guys, anyone use openvnc with firestarter?
[07:14] <bullgard> chelz: Yes I do. My Ubuntu 9.10 now and then freezes when I am using Chatzilla scrolling. (Chatzilla as a Firefox plugin.) {compiz is not switched on.}
[07:14] <switch10_> roycebarber: although I have the cheapest one money could buy and it has a realtek chipset, and it works great, so go figure..
[07:14] <chelz> roycebarber:  these should help: http://www.google.com/search?q=good+wireless+OR+wifi+usb+adapter+for+ubuntu
[07:14] <roycebarber> im using a d-link dwa-130 which i bought for Vista ages ago, and some forums say they can get it to work, but it's like walking on hot coals. ralink..hmm. not sure how to go about that. i shall consult with goog...ha!
[07:14]  * achiang upgraded to lucid beta from hardy, now wireless (ath5k) is broken. NM refuses to manage the device. is this related to a stale /etc/network/interfaces file?  i think i can recover if i knew which files to delete in order to convince NM to take over... any clues?
[07:14] <achiang> one odd symptom is, i can do an ifup ath0 and get networking for about 30 seconds before it disassociates from my AP
[07:15] <achiang> although this occurred during an upgrade to lucid, i think it's just a generic NM problem, so looking for advice on how to wipe out old config files and re-enable NM
[07:15] <bazhang> achiang, #ubuntu+1 for lucid
[07:15] <roycebarber> Ubuntu 10.04 supports Wireless N, right?
[07:15] <bullgard> achiang: Please ask this in #ubuntu+1
[07:16] <achiang> bazhang: bullgard: already did, no response -- like i said, please don't be thrown off by the mention of lucid; i think it's just a generic NM problem
[07:16] <SDr> hi
[07:16] <roycebarber> hmm i see form the other response.. +1 is the place 4 me
[07:16] <bazhang> achiang, nonetheless its the correct channel, be patient
[07:16] <achiang> just looking for some generic NM help, that's all
[07:16] <chelz> bullgard: what is the output of  lspci -nn | grep VGA
[07:17] <roycebarber> One last question... Any big downside to using the SMUXI IRC client?
[07:17] <bullgard> chelz: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller [8086:2592] (rev 03)
[07:17] <SDr> I'm looking for a noun, have you seen my noun?  what is the book in which teachers are writing the student's grade in, is called? (not the one students are taking home with them, but the one used in teacher's administration)
[07:18] <bazhang> SDr, try ##english
[07:18] <achiang> bazhang: ok, let me rephrase my question -- what do i need to do to convince NM to start managing my wireless device? delete some stale files in /etc somewhere? services conflicting with each other somehow?
[07:18] <SDr> bazhang, thank you :)
[07:18] <Guest52215> /MSG nickserv identify poo20185

[07:20] <Pokeruler> um*
[07:20] <Pokeruler> why would you identify as a guest o.o
[07:20] <Guest52215> I'm trying to figure this iPhone irc client out
[07:20] <chelz> bullgard: i do keep finding this thread: http://osdir.com/ml/ubuntu-x/2010-03/msg00002.html
[07:20] <PastorBarber> woah, irc on iphone. total win :D
[07:20] <Guest52215> I logged on with my regular username but can't figure out how to identify
[07:21] <PastorBarber> Does Google Android have a IRC Client??
[07:21] <switch10_> Guest52215:  are you using rooms?
[07:21] <chelz> bullgard: also i don't have experience with this, but this article might help: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance
[07:21] <chelz> !ot | Pokeruler
[07:21] <Guest52215> yeah pretty cool huh? iPhone and old school irc
[07:21] <chelz> er
[07:21] <chelz> !ot | PastorBarber
[07:21] <PastorBarber> got it the first time lol
[07:21] <Pokeruler> lol
[07:21] <PastorBarber> later peeps
[07:22] <switch10_> Guest52215:  Ya I use it as well :).  you get that Iphone syncing with ubuntu yet?
[07:22] <Rudd-O> startupmanager did not help
[07:22] <chelz> Rudd-O: remove newer kernels and pin the relevant kernel packages in synaptic
[07:22] <Guest52215> no, I've got a mac also (laptop, my desktop is Linux)
[07:22] <costre> murry-chounna
[07:22] <Rudd-O> it just edited GRUB_DEFAULT
[07:23] <Guest52215> so I just sync on the laptop with iTunes
[07:23] <Rudd-O> chelz: ok that sounds very workable
[07:23] <ddrj> any clue as to why ubuntu has recently been taking close to 5-10 minutes to load login screen? haven't done anything other than install a few updates and enable remote desktop
[07:23] <Rudd-O> chelz: steps to do that?
[07:23] <chelz> Rudd-O: select packages, go to Package and click on "Lock version"
[07:23] <Rudd-O> on synaptic?
[07:23] <Rudd-O> OK
[07:23] <chelz> although wait
[07:23] <Rudd-O> which package?
[07:23] <Rudd-O> should I lock?
[07:23] <chelz> i dunno if that stops newer kernels from being installed
[07:24] <Guest52215> switch10_ do you use rooms? I'm using irchon...it's free
[07:24] <chelz> since it's like newer kernels are different packages, they don't replace older ones
[07:24] <Rudd-O> yeah
[07:24] <switch10_> Guest52215: right on.  I don't own a mac, so when I got my IPhone syncing with ubuntu, I was pretty impressed
[07:24] <Rudd-O> linux-image-generic is version <IP_ADDRESS>.33 and it pulls linux-image-<IP_ADDRESS>.33 with it
[07:24] <Rudd-O> what now?
[07:24] <chelz> Rudd-O: ok one way to fix this is to use a wildcard pinning in apt_preferences for linux kernel stuff
[07:24] <Rudd-O> let me see if I can downgrade linux-image-generic
[07:24] <Guest52215> I've got a friend who did the same thing...he was so excited when he could sync with Linux
[07:25] <Rudd-O> there is NO WAY to downgrade
[07:25] <Rudd-O> damn!
[07:25] <Rudd-O> ok
[07:25] <Rudd-O> but I can pin it down to this version, and then my GRUB_DEFAULT will never be altered from the current value 2
[07:25] <Rudd-O> that is workable
[07:25] <Berzerker> does anyone know that program in linux that overlays the desktop with random info?
[07:25] <switch10_> Rudd-O: just remove the new kernel..
[07:25] <Berzerker> like cpu usage, ram usage, media controls, etc.
[07:26] <switch10_> Berzerker: conky?
[07:26] <bazhang> Berzerker, conky
[07:26] <brontosaurusrex> Berzerker: conky?
[07:26] <raddy> Hello Everybody
[07:26] <ardchoille> conky
[07:26] <switch10_> haha
[07:26] <Berzerker> that's it
[07:26] <Berzerker> thanks lol
[07:26] <switch10_> everyone knows that one
[07:26] <raddy> I have recently started getting this problem.
[07:26] <bazhang> also gkrellm iirc
[07:26] <eremite> I also like saidar
[07:26] <chelz> Rudd-O: in apt_preferences you can set all linux kernel packages other than the one you currently have installed to a priority low enough that they don't get installed
[07:27] <raddy> I am using 9.04 jaunty.
[07:27] <chelz> Rudd-O: you really should solve the bug though
[07:27] <Berzerker> so now that I have it, how do I use it?
[07:27] <Rudd-O> force version has no effect
[07:27] <bazhang> Berzerker, great how to a t ubuntuforums, let me find the link
[07:27] <raddy> When i add new ppa to the softwares sources, it gets added.
[07:27] <Berzerker> bazhang: thanks
[07:27] <Rudd-O> chelz: sure, but first things first lets get this machine stable
[07:27] <raddy> I have even manually added the gpg keys.
[07:27] <bazhang> raddy, please put your entire problem on to a single line
[07:27] <chelz> Berzerker: http://www.clububuntu.com/2009/03/installing-conky-in-ubuntu-light-weight.html
[07:28] <chelz> Rudd-O: well not installing kernel updates is bad for security. what's the issue that happens with the newer kernel anyway?
[07:28] <switch10_> Berzerker: conky-colors is cool too..
[07:28] <Rudd-O> chelz: this is a laptop.  security is not a problem here.
[07:28] <eremite> switch10_: what is conky-colors?
[07:28] <Rudd-O> chelz: whenever wireless is used, the machine HANGS HARD
[07:28] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5436679 Berzerker
[07:28] <chelz> Rudd-O: what brand and model number?
[07:29] <switch10_> eremite: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/CONKY-colors?content=92328
[07:29] <KayAteChef> I find that gnokme-network-manager hangs sometimes when  I use wireless
[07:29] <eremite> switch10_: you can make colors with conky by yourself, you dont need to download somone elses config files.
[07:29] <raddy> bazhang: particular package is not being shown in Add/Remove Software or Synaptic even after adding it's ppa, but when i try to manually install the deb file it says a new version is already there in the repository.
[07:29] <bazhang> raddy, link to the PPA please
[07:30] <switch10_> eremite: yes but it is way easier for Berzerker to configure :)
[07:30] <raddy> bazhang: https://launchpad.net/~gm-notify-maintainers/+archive/ppa
[07:30] <bazhang> raddy, you did update sources.list correct? (sudo apt-get update)
[07:30] <fulvio0> hi all
[07:30] <bootninja> hopefully just found my solution.  cross your fingers for me :)
[07:31] <raddy> bazhang: Softwares sources reloads the list every time i make changes.
[07:31] <costre> I experience quite a lot of "unexpected closes" in 10.04, but updates are coming in fast ... I guess things are being being taken care of
[07:31] <guntbert> !lucid | costre
[07:31] <bazhang> costre, #ubuntu+1 for lucid please
[07:31] <raddy> bazhang: moreover i selected to show "All available applications"
[07:31] <switch10_> costre: remember that it is in beta.  it is not released yet.
[07:32] <costre> ok, will do
[07:32] <shan> Hi! I am using ubuntu 9.10 and have a PVR 150 video capture card.  I am able to see the image only in black and white when I view it through mplayer /dev/video0
[07:32] <bazhang> raddy, you are using karmic? and you added the PPA thus:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name ?
[07:32] <shan> could someone tell me how to over come this and be able to view in colour?
[07:33] <raddy> bazhang: i am using jaunty. not karmic
[07:33] <eremite> shan: be more specific.
[07:33] <brontosaurusrex> shan: i'd guess your in pal land and your card is configured as ntsc, or something in that area
[07:33] <fulvio0> someone can help me with a littler problem on ubuntu
[07:33] <costre> shan, Use a interface like smplayer and choose different video output?
[07:34] <shan> brontosaurus rex: I have used v4l2-ctl and changed the format to pal
[07:34] <bazhang> raddy, and when you apt-cache search thatpackage is it found?
[07:34] <bullgard> chelz: I am still reading the article which you suggested. --  Thank you for your help.
[07:34] <raddy> bazhang: I don't understand.
[07:34] <raddy> bazhang: apt-cache?
[07:35] <bazhang> raddy, the package is gm-notify , correct? in terminal apt-cache search notify or apt-cache search gm-notify
[07:35] <shan> costre: I did use the s-video input and also the composite1 input. In svideo input I am getting a very grainy image
[07:35] <costre> shan, My bad, I missed it was about input
[07:36] <costre> in that case, my guess is PAL vs NTSC also
[07:36] <chelz> shan: you might need to install a newer ivtv driver
[07:36] <costre> shan, composite is supposed to be far grainier that svideo
[07:36] <shan> When I use the ntsc mode I get waves but in pal mode I get a good image but in black and white
[07:36] <chelz> shan: looking over this might help: http://www.simsemporium.com/Stuff/Mythtv+-+PVR-150+-+Ubuntu+-+New+Zealand+HOWTO.html
[07:37] <raddy> bazhang: correct result is showing up in apt-cache.
[07:37] <shan> thats what I thought too.
[07:37] <costre> shan, Can you change the output from the transmitter?
[07:37] <bazhang> raddy, and sudo apt-get install gm-notify ?
[07:38] <shan> chelz: I will surely take a look at it.
[07:38] <raddy> bazhang: but running that command wouldn't spoil the actual intention of my question?
[07:38] <ddrj> hi guys had a question... any clue as to why ubuntu has recently been taking 5-10 minutes to load to the login screen? i haven't done anything other than install a few updates and enable remote desktop
[07:38] <picard1421> is anyone familiar with microsoft acess?
[07:38] <andruk> how do i install the flash plugin for the chrome beta
[07:38] <bazhang> picard1421, relating to ubuntu?
 No, I am using a dvd player and don't have that option
[07:39] <chelz> ddrj: you can install something like bootchart to see what's taking up time
[07:39] <bazhang> raddy, thought you wanted to install it
[07:39] <raddy> bazhang: as i didn't say i have problems installing apps from newly added ppa in command line too, as i didn't try.
[07:39] <ddrj> thanks chelz!!!!
[07:39] <ddrj> checking
[07:39] <chelz> ddrj: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootCharting
[07:39] <raddy> bazhang: but not via command line
[07:39] <costre> shan, Really? Most dvdplayers I have used can change their output if you have a certain TV
[07:39] <bazhang> raddy, you mean not being in add/remove? not everything is shown there
[07:40] <bootninja> somebody wasn't crossing their fingers. no joy :(
[07:41] <raddy> bazhang: apps from newly added ppa are not being shown in Add/Remove and Synaptic, but it shows up while trying to manually install the deb file and in apt-cache search results, this my problem.
[07:41] <shan> costre: I will check to see if that is the problem, but earlier when I used the same dvd player and a different card I was able to view the images in colour?
[07:41] <brontosaurusrex> raddy: the command to install something without the keys is something like: sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install theapplicationname
[07:41] <costre> shan depends on the card I guess
[07:41] <shan> maybe
[07:41] <chelz> bootninja: all a learning experience
[07:41] <bazhang> raddy, how is that a problem? you can install them, correct? something aesthetic?
[07:42] <brontosaurusrex> raddy: with my guess that you got the PGP stuff wrong
[07:42] <raddy> brontosaurusrex: i didn't say i have not added the gpg signature files
[07:42] <brontosaurusrex> raddy: GPG i mean*
[07:42] <shan> chelz and costre please do send me a mail to shan at spiretek dot in if you can think of some solution.
[07:42]  * viktor echo listening to 8 Wonders - Eventuality
[07:42] <viktor> eh
[07:42] <ddrj> chelz: just wondering, does this show what's being loaded prior to the ubuntu login screen ? or after
[07:43] <shan> It will be of great help to me.  I have been working on this for the past 3 days.
[07:43]  * viktor listening to 8 Wonders - Eventuality
[07:43] <viktor> hess
[07:43] <chelz> shan: i'd try something that's outputting a signal you know for sure is either ntsc or pal, if that doesn't work then it might be a driver thing
[07:43] <guntbert> !ot | viktor
[07:43] <aboeing> hi, I am having a problem with ubuntu - i can ping other computers on my network, but I can't ping google. (windows computers can ping google). does anyone know what the problem might be?
[07:43] <viktor> sorry
[07:43] <costre> shan, Google the hell out of it :)
[07:43] <chelz> shan: talking to mythtv people could also help
[07:43] <ardchoille> Is there any way to theme the notification popups that appear at the top right of the screen?
[07:44] <shan> sure, is the mythtv channel with the same name?
[07:44] <chelz> ddrj: i think before, but it might also include to a dkestop
[07:44] <clp> how to use grep command to grap text in multi-lines, such as ^CV_API.*($)*;$?
[07:44] <bootninja> aboe: it sounds like you don't have access to a dns server
[07:44] <ddrj> awesome, ty
[07:44] <chelz> shan: #mythbuntu and #mythtv
[07:44] <raddy> bazhang: it is simply not an aesthetic issue, it is what how things should work, this problem occured for another recently added ppa to, but eventually it is working.
[07:44] <srv> Please introduce me a nice shell torrent client.
[07:44] <srv> not a GUI one
[07:44] <shan> thank for your inputs, I will try those channels too.

[07:45] <maginot> aboeing, thats not a one word setup
[07:45] <bootninja> aboe: if you're using dhcp then it should work automagically, least it always has for me
[07:46] <brontosaurusrex> srv: and being cool, you would need to read on how to use that remotelly with 'screen'
[07:46] <bootninja> aboeing: are you able to access internet from other computers on your network?
[07:46] <srv> brontosaurusre, hmm

[07:49] <raven> hi - how to read,extract a .PBF?
[07:49] <aboeing> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:49] <FlameLord> why is the zsh package around ten times as large as the zsh-static package?
[07:50] <FlameLord> wouldn't the zsh-static package be larger because it's compiled with libraries?
[07:50] <aboeing> http://paste.ubuntu.com/406892/
[07:50] <nomad77> !pastebinit > aboeing
[07:50] <aboeing> bootninja: yes, other (windows) computers can access the internet
[07:51] <maginot> aboeing, if you problem is DNS you can always try a public DNS server like: nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> if not work just back to the old <IP_ADDRESS> you had before
[07:51] <raddy> brontosaurusrex: i checked the signing key, even that is also correct.
[07:52] <tacotruck> yo ubuntu dudes...wats the command thats shows all the uuid address?
[07:52] <tacotruck> and the mount location... i.e. /dev/sdk1
[07:52] <musicrazyjavier> HOLA
[07:52] <aboeing> maginot: thanks. also, do I reset the networking via /etc/init.d/networking reset, or do I need to do something else for DNS?
[07:52] <nomad77> tacotruck: df ?
[07:52] <raven> how to read,extract a .PBF?
[07:52] <red2kic> tacotruck: blkid and fdisk -l
[07:52] <maginot> aboeing, just change the address and will work out of the box
[07:52] <musicrazyjavier> alguien que me pueda ayudar
[07:52] <maginot> no restart or anything is needed
[07:53] <FlameLord> oh wait, sorry, I see--zsh-static depends on zsh

[07:53] <bootninja> this is getting really annoying.  when I insert the headphones, I hear sound for maybe half a second before it cuts out
[07:54] <bootninja> so If I didn't know any better, I'd think it was just a bad jack, but I know that's not the problem
[07:55] <maginot> bootninja, so do you think isn't your jack problem ? Do you have anything on the logs?
[07:55] <aboeing> ok, now it knows the IP for google. but i still can't ping it:
[07:55] <tacotruck> damn! everytime i copy and paste when im vncing into my ubuntu box...the vnc connection closes!!!
[07:55] <chelz> raven: pbf or pdf?
[07:55] <aboeing> PING www.l.google.com (<IP_ADDRESS>) 56(84) bytes of data.
[07:55] <raven> how to read,extract a .PBF (Paragon Drive Backup)?
[07:55] <aboeing> 4 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 3009ms
[07:56] <raven> chelz its an windows mobile backup image
[07:56] <maginot> aboeing, ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:56] <tacotruck> and i cant get the vnc connection back up till i restart
[07:56] <chelz> bootninja: in Volume Control is the Headphones switch checked?
[07:56] <aboeing> maginot: it does the same thing. (I set the DNS to a local DNS) I can try <IP_ADDRESS> if you like
[07:57] <chelz> raven: you can try using windows utilities to do that in wine
[07:57] <maginot> aboeing, <IP_ADDRESS> is the public dns provided by google...
[07:58] <maginot> aboeing, it like a last resort alternative, I use it here, so I know it's working... do you are behind any firewall ? Its from a domestic network you are trying to connect?
[07:58] <bootninja> chelz: volume control meaning the speaker icon in the system tray, or alsamixer?
[07:58] <maginot> bootninja, alsamixer will work too
[07:58] <bootninja> in alsamixer I went in and moved all sliders to 100%.  that was the first thing I did
[07:58] <aboeing> maginot: <IP_ADDRESS> isn't working for me, this is a network at work that I am using.. the linux computers used to work
[07:58] <telmich> btw, what is gnome/ubuntu doing, if one plugs the volume control wide over 100%?
[07:58] <MoeRoman> Hi All
[07:59] <maginot> aboeing, so I suspect you are behind some kind of firewall ...
[07:59] <bootninja> aboe: do you have to login to a windows domain to access the web on your work network?
[07:59] <chelz> bootninja: speaker icon "Open Volume Control" is what it is in intrepid
[07:59] <aboeing> bootninja: no.
[07:59] <aboeing> maginot: I have asked our IT guy, and he says "there is no firewall"
[07:59] <bootninja> I don't see anything like that.  if I right click speaker icon I only get sound preferences and mute
[08:00] <maginot> aboeing, I think I come in the middle of you problem, just saw the dns problem, what kind of issue are you having ?
[08:00] <maginot> bootninja, can you go to the console and type alsamixer and see if any controls are muted or without volume ?
[08:00] <aboeing> maginot: the problem is i can ping things within my local network, but not to the outside world. windows computers and mac computers on this network are not having any problems
[08:01] <MoeRoman> Simple yet annoying issue: I was testing a BASH script, ended up renaming my Desktop directory in my home directory, and now - even though I renamed it back to "Desktop", my desktop shows icons for content under my home directory
[08:01] <maginot> aboeing, ok, lets start over. But you can access websites ?
[08:01] <aboeing> maginot: not on the linux computer
[08:02] <hon> Would anyone be able to tell me if you can use exFat/Fat64 on ubuntu?
[08:02] <maginot> aboeing, pastebin your /etc/resolv.conf together with your /etc/hosts
[08:02] <bootninja> maginot: I just verified that in alsa mixer, nothing is muted and everything is at 100% volume
[08:02] <costre> oh, yes! bluetooth keyboard+mouse installed and working like a charm! Things sure have changed since Hardy :D Ubuntu rocks
[08:02] <maginot> bootninja, your logs are showing anything when you try to play a sound or when you plug the headphone ?
[08:02] <bootninja> which logs?  dmesg?
[08:02] <chelz> hon: An experimental, open source Linux kernel module that supports the reading of exFAT files is currently under development.[5]  A closed source, read/write Linux driver, licensed and derived from the Microsoft exFAT driver, is available for purchase from Tuxera.[6]"
[08:02] <sYskk> how do i unrar a file in ubuntu ?
[08:03] <chelz> hon: from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT
[08:03] <brontosaurusrex> costre: did you have to install anything? karmic?
[08:03] <sYskk> i tried apt-get install rar and unrar but it says pack is no available
[08:03] <costre> sYskk, install "unrar"
[08:03] <aboeing> http://paste.ubuntu.com/406901/
[08:03] <bootninja> won't tar unzip rar files?
[08:03] <maginot> bootninja, dmesg is one of them... you can try /var/log/daemon.log /var/log/user.log and /var/log/syslog
[08:03] <costre> sYskk, change your download locations perhaps
[08:03] <hon> Thanks, Hon out.
[08:03] <sYskk> costre: how ?
[08:03] <chelz> sYskk: you need to go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[08:03] <costre> sYskk, synaptic preferences
[08:04] <chelz> sYskk: check universe main restricted multiverse
[08:04] <maginot> aboeing, ok, if you are not behind any firewall change you resolv.conf to have ONLY nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:04] <MoeRoman> How do I link my Desktop directory to my actual graphical Desktop?
[08:04] <srv> What's the best shell log viewer?

[08:05] <maginot> aboeing, for any reason are you talking here using the problematic computer? pastebin the out put of route -n (ip route show is good too)
[08:05] <aboeing> maginot: will that work, even if I can't ping <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[08:05] <aboeing> maginot: no, I am using a different computer to chat
[08:05] <srv> telmich: thanks
[08:05] <maginot> aboeing, we will get there...
[08:06] <ubuntu123> the <IP_ADDRESS> is not a server
[08:06] <ubuntu123> you will be redirected to local servers
[08:06] <maginot> ubuntu123, is the Public DNS provided by Google, <IP_ADDRESS> is the primary and <IP_ADDRESS> is the secondary

[08:10] <MoeRoman> Anyone know where I can configure my desktop to show the contents of my Desktop directory?
[08:10] <Joe123> I've got a slight problem on Ubuntu 9.10: when opening Firefox or Thunderbird the windows open at borders of the desktop (ie the last size of the window persists, but the position where it was closed does not)
[08:10] <bootninja> maginot: only thing I see in any of those logs that seems to have anything to do with sound is Mar 31 02:07:32 bootninja-laptop pulseaudio[4975]: ratelimit.c: 127 events suppressed

[08:12] <maginot> MrApple, roaming aggressiveness ...
[08:13] <MrApple> for my wireless connection maginot
[08:13] <aboeing> http://paste.ubuntu.com/406906/
[08:13] <Joe123> If this is some sort of 'feature' that is supposed to help keeping my windows ordered, I'd be happy to know where I can turn it off
[08:13] <bootninja> maginot: I know that's not the problem, because it worked fine in windows.  I had this problem last time I installed ubuntu about a year ago and then went back to windows and just freshly installed 9.10 two days ago. and it worked fine in windows
[08:13] <maginot> MrApple, can I ask what kind of problem are you havin?
[08:13] <MoeRoman> brontosaurusrex: cool, looking
[08:14] <phexter> if i try to branch something like lp:xyz with bazaar i get the following error message :- "bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist." branching over http works fine. any ideas / solutions?
[08:14] <bootninja> maginot: I did just see this in dmesg,"ALSA hda_intel.c:695: azx_get_response timeout, switching to polling mode: last cmd=0x001f1500
[08:14] <bootninja> " dunno if htat's relevant
[08:14] <IceDeep> I got a question, anyone know if it's possible to have say 2 Ubuntu computers, networked and share tasks/calander items through evolution? Also can I change my programs selected in the notification/email/im area if evolution can't do so and another program can?
[08:15] <maginot> bootninja, HDA intel is a very problematic driver =/ I think you will find a lot of bugs related... have you tried updating the kernel?
[08:15] <MrApple> I have internet threw my apts, each building has multiple connections to ensure a good connection, they think I've been dropping so much do to my wireless jumping from point to point, maginot
[08:16] <maginot> aboeing, very odd, everything seens to be right. You said you can ping other computer of the local network right, so can you ping the one you are using right now?
[08:17] <maginot> MrApple, sorry, still can't understand what the roaming aggressiveness will do for you.
[08:17] <aboeing> yes:
[08:17] <aboeing> PING <IP_ADDRESS> (<IP_ADDRESS>) 56(84) bytes of data.
[08:17] <aboeing> 64 bytes from <IP_ADDRESS>: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.140 ms
[08:17] <andruk> can i change where the documents folder is on Ubuntu? without using symlinks?
[08:17] <bootninja> maginot: so I'm noticing.  I'm using kernel 2.6.31 is there a simple method of installing a new kernel, or do I have to compile it?
[08:17] <MrApple> by making it less aggressive it will supposedly cause me to jump from point to point less
[08:18] <maginot> bootninja, if you are using ubuntu you try and see if update manager have anything new there
[08:18] <maginot> MrApple, but why can you just setup one default ap ?
[08:18] <bootninja> according to update manager my system is up to date
[08:19] <MrApple> they don't assign static ips
[08:19] <MrApple> maginot,
[08:19] <kanjeng> erwr
[08:19] <kanjeng> uh
[08:19] <maginot> MrApple, ok, but you don't need one to do that... you can just assign a default ap by it MAC address
[08:20] <MrApple> maginot, and I've done that but I still have issues with dropping randomly
[08:20] <MoeRoman> brontosaurusrex: wish I knew how to modify that back to default
[08:20] <MrApple> so they suggested this
[08:21] <brontosaurusrex> MoeRoman: i can paste mine if that is of any help?
[08:21] <MoeRoman> brontosaurusrex: yeah
[08:21] <maginot> bootninja, lets see if we can get any interesting output... what app are you using to play the sound? do you have vlc or something like that that we could run from the console and see what outputs it gaves ?
[08:22] <brontosaurusrex> MoeRoman: http://b.pastebin.com/bPpai5Mk
[08:22] <bootninja> maginot: indeed I can.
[08:23] <MoeRoman> brontosaurusrex: brb
[08:23] <maginot> MrApple, well, if you have to do something like that, first is see what kind of hardware you're using, to see if you have support for that
[08:24] <quietone> IceDeep: i used a WebDav tut at ubuntugeek.com to do similar on home network
[08:24] <Kartagis> I'm using thunderbird 3.0.3 and I set up a news server. however it says xxx:563 uses an invalid security certificate. all the settings are right. what can I do now?
[08:25] <SrO> Bonjour
[08:25] <IceDeep> quietone, Thanks. I will mark it down to check out. I know thunderbird might work as well. I was just hoping evolution would do it since it's built in
[08:25] <SrO> only speak english or somebody speak french?
[08:26] <Flannel> !fr | SrO
[08:26] <SrO> thank you Flannel ;)
[08:27] <bootninja> maginot: running an mp3 in vlc from terminal I get output:[0x28240d8] pulse audio output: No. of Audio Channels: 1
[08:27] <MoeRoman> brontosaurusrex: ta-ra! Done
[08:27] <aboeing> maginot: just wondering if you had any more ideas on what the problem could be? if not, thank you very much for your help so far - at least now i have a working nameserver
[08:27] <brontosaurusrex> MoeRoman: cool
[08:27] <MoeRoman> brontosaurusrex: Thanks man, solved
[08:28] <maginot> aboeing, let me think for a while, you setup seen to be okay... but just a sec, maybe we missed something
[08:28] <MoeRoman> brontosaurusrex: Cool thing is, I thought the default value was as you provided, yet I was not sure, however, after I restarted X, it worked
[08:28] <bootninja> aboeing: you could always try the old windows standby and reboot :)
[08:28] <SrO> nobody how can help me? somebody know how to use PDT eclipse with Zend Debugger?
[08:29] <MoeRoman> brontosaurusrex: have a nice one, and thanks again

[08:30] <MoeRoman> brontosaurusrex: contra? :)
[08:30] <theadmin> How can one determine the mime-type of file trough a terminal?
[08:30] <maco> theadmin: the file command
[08:30] <MoeRoman> Anyway
[08:31] <MoeRoman> See you all later
[08:31] <maginot> aboeing, ip route show, and #route del <IP_ADDRESS>  (remove that <IP_ADDRESS> from you route list... )
[08:31] <MoeRoman> MoeRoman out
[08:31] <theadmin> maco: Thanks. That does it.
[08:31] <maginot> aboeing, put together the output of ethtool eth0
[08:32] <theadmin> Wish i could find a list of all those commands somewhere :/
[08:32] <ja660k> is there a exe decompiler in ubuntu?
[08:32] <quietone> IceDeep: evolution's home page says it supports Web calendar. You could try  #evolution on irc.gimp.org
[08:33] <IceDeep> Thanks quietone  :)
[08:33] <theadmin> ja660k: decompiling is a tough process, it all depends on what language it's in. But you can RUN exe apps with WINE. See winehq.org for more info.
[08:33] <maginot> ja660k, maybe on #gdb they could give you a good answer
[08:34] <ja660k> theadmin, yeah i dont want to run it, its one of those "FREE SECURITY SCAN" things i just wanna see whats inside them
[08:34] <maginot> ja660k, I remember one time ago asking there something like what you are looking for
[08:34] <ja660k> maginot, thanks :)
[08:34] <white1> I am looking for support for sharing my wired internet to my wireless via infrastructure. I have looked everywhere, ubuntu forums google, and blog sites, nothing was useful the way I want to use it.
[08:34] <theadmin> ja660k: Submit it to ThreatExpert or VirusTotal...
[08:34] <white1> I have found support to do the sharing backwords though
[08:35] <ja660k> theadmin, okay
[08:35] <rocket16> Hm, Empathy takes several minutes to connect, why?
[08:35] <maginot> white1, you will have to use some iptables & iproute configuration, maybe #netfilter is the best place for looking further info (or google)
[08:35] <brontosaurusrex> do i need to 'fstab' virtualbox shared folders? (linux is guest in this case)
[08:36] <white1> okay I will check that room out thanks maginot
[08:36] <maginot> brontosaurusrex, fstab is just to mount partitions.... do you need to pre-mount any partition for using your share?
[08:36] <rocket16> I am trying to make a switch to Empathy, but it is no working nicely,
[08:36] <theadmin> bleh. "devicekit-disks: abstraction for enumerating block devices"... They coulda give a better description
[08:36] <Kartagis> I'm using thunderbird 3.0.3 and I set up a news server. however it says xxx:563 uses an invalid security certificate. all the settings are right. what can I do now?
[08:36] <chelz> white1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1360206
[08:37] <brontosaurusrex> maginot: i did 'sudo mount -t vboxsf mintShared ./'
[08:37] <rocket16> Empathy takes a lot of time to connect to the gtalk or irc, any solution?
[08:37] <chelz> maginot, white1: actually just using Network Manager might work
[08:37] <brontosaurusrex> maginot: and it worked for a while
[08:37] <ja660k> theadmin, this thing is riddled with trojans, i cant believe people actually fall for this
[08:37] <theadmin> ja660k: :D Many do.
[08:37] <maginot> chelz, Hmm will take a look, that would be new to me
[08:37] <chelz> ja660k: here's a challenge: find a way to get people to not fall for those
[08:37]  * rocket16 is waiting
[08:38] <rocket16> Friends, any solution?
[08:38] <ja660k> chelz, that is THE challenge
[08:38] <maginot> brontosaurusrex, well, we coud keep trying things, but #virtualbox is the right place
[08:38] <rocket16> Empathy!
[08:39] <brontosaurusrex> maginot: right
[08:39] <rocket16> !Empathy
[08:39] <Berzerker> what's the variable for displaying a username in conky?
[08:39] <chelz> rocket16: you could try running it in a terminal and seeing if anything looks off in the output
[08:39] <rocket16> chelz: Ok,
[08:39] <theadmin> For GNOME, huh. What is XFCE's instant messenger?
[08:39] <chelz> Berzerker: in bash and stuff it's $USER
[08:40] <Shazballs> why does google chrome run multiple processes?
[08:40] <chelz> Shazballs: that's offtopic
[08:40] <Shazballs> chelz, I didn't really think so
[08:40] <bootninja> shaz because that way one tab crashing doesn't crash the browser
[08:40] <theadmin> chelz: not really, it might be Linux/Ubuntu-specific
[08:41] <Berzerker> chelz: awesome, thanks
[08:41] <theadmin> Shazballs: But i have an assumption that this is because of separate tab thingy, so that one tab can't crash the whole browser
[08:41] <bootninja> ^^
[08:42] <maginot> chelz, really don't get it how that link would help sharing a wirelless connection to a wired connection ...
[08:42] <chelz> Berzerker: more on that is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables
[08:42] <johntramp> hi i have been given an external harddrive to copy some stuff onto. when i plug it in fisk says it doesnt contain a valid partition table. would this be because it has possibly been formated on a mac?
[08:42] <Shazballs> k thanks
[08:42] <Berzerker> chelz: I have lm-sensors installed, but it doesn't display temp
[08:42] <costre> Speaking of web browsers, pretty much the only thing I can't get to work is the flash over at www.isketch.net ... can anyone have a look and see if it works for them?
[08:42] <maginot> johntramp, maybe you have to format it before using?
[08:42] <chelz> maginot: i thought it was the other way around, that they wanted to share a wired to a wireless
[08:43] <johntramp> maginot: no she said there is some stuff on there already
[08:43] <chelz> Berzerker: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[08:43] <maginot> johntramp, see what dmesg tells you after you plug the device (it will say what it can't be mounted)
[08:43] <rocket16> Hm, to me, the Gnome-XChat is better than Empathy for irc
[08:44]  * rocket16 is happy with Gxchat
[08:44] <maginot> I use xchat, have nothing to complain of :D
[08:44] <bootninja> didn't even know empathy had irc support
[08:44] <chelz> white1: for the opposite, here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EasyWirelessToWiredConnectionSharing
[08:45] <bootninja> that why they swapped pidgin out for it?
[08:45] <costre> Xchat here too ... I don't know if encryption is easily solvable in gxchat as in xchat
[08:45] <chelz> bootninja: both empathy and pidgin rely on libpurple, which supports irc. i'm pretty sure.
[08:45] <maginot> bootninja, don't even know empathy =X
[08:45] <theadmin> Empathy is a huge meh so far :/ Don't mean to provoke a flamewar, but the interface is horrible so far
[08:45] <bootninja> chelz:  I wasn't contradicting you, merely expressing my ignorance :)
[08:45] <theadmin> chelz: No, empathy uses Telepathy, not libpurple
[08:46] <chelz> theadmin: you can always install pidgin
[08:46] <Berzerker> chelz: Next, run "sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools".
[08:46] <costre> can anyone running ubuntu try http://www.isketch.net and see if the flash displays correctly?
[08:46] <theadmin> chelz: I'm using it right now :D
[08:46] <Berzerker> chelz: I get this when I run it: Usage: /etc/init.d/module-init-tools COMMAND
[08:46] <[]zombie> hi there, all of a sudden i can't ssh to my desktop.... i get a timeout error...  can anyone help?
[08:46] <GSF1200S> how can I have ssh installed but it says command not found when I do ssh user@host
[08:46] <bootninja> GSF, are you root?
[08:46] <chelz> Berzerker: "sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools start"
[08:46] <theadmin> Berzerker: I think you need to append "start" after that line. or 'stop"
[08:46] <GSF1200S> bootninja: yes
[08:46] <rocket16> lol,getting back to old xchat
[08:46] <theadmin> costre: That's shockwave, not flash, an OLLLLLLLLLD windows thing
[08:47] <bootninja> GSF: and you're sure that you installed the ssh client not the server?
[08:47] <maginot> []zombie, what did you done so far to guarantee that your problem is not any connection or service not be running problem? Please do some tests
[08:47] <GSF1200S> i have both installed bootninja
[08:47] <costre> theadmin, That explains it
[08:47] <johntramp> maginot: http://pastebin.com/4iub1TK5
[08:47] <[]zombie> i just ran tcpcump, maginot
[08:47] <johntramp> dmesg looks okay to me
[08:47] <[]zombie> server can see my laptop trying to connect
[08:48] <bootninja> GSF: then the problem is probably path related
[08:48] <maginot> johntramp, if any one told you you had something inside it its lying or you removed, you have no partitions inside the device as fdisk just told you
[08:48] <bootninja> GSF what happens when you just type in ssh?
[08:48] <johntramp> maginot: what does #
[08:48] <johntramp>  sdg: [mac] sdg1 sdg2 sdg3 sdg4 sdg5 sdg6
[08:48] <johntramp>  mean
[08:49] <GSF1200S> bootninja, if I do sudo ssh user@host, it says not command not found.. if I log in as root and then execute ssh user@server, it says permission denied
[08:49] <bootninja> john: sdg is the hard drive you are trying to copy off.  sdg 1-n are the partitions on that drive
[08:49] <maginot> []zombie, tcpdump doesn't work for your problem, you have to check if the service is running, if you can reach the server and if the port you are trying to use is rightm, them check you firewall to see if something is being blocked
[08:49] <johntramp> maginot: yeah i realise taht
[08:49] <johntramp> maginot: but why does dmesg say sdg1-6 but fdisk has nothing
[08:50] <[]zombie> maginot: thanks, i'll check those things and get back to you
[08:50] <maginot> johntramp, to guarantee you have nothing inside, just run fdisk /dev/sdg (as root, is what # means)
[08:50] <johntramp> i am
[08:51] <theadmin> How to prevent Ubuntu from automounting /dev/sdb1?
[08:51] <maginot> johntramp, p will show the partition table for you
[08:51] <chelz> theadmin: edit /etc/fstab
[08:51] <chelz> !fstab | theadmin
[08:51] <theadmin> chelz: Huh. Just in case, it's a removable device. Will it still work?
[08:51] <al1as> hey guys
[08:52] <maginot> johntramp, I supposed this is an external HD of 1TB, right?
[08:52] <chelz> theadmin: oh, to prevent that fstab won't work
[08:52] <GSF1200S> bootninja, any ideas? i dont know wtf.. it worked before
[08:52] <suji11> hi
[08:52] <al1as> my rtl8187se is very unstable (disconnects after 20-30 seconds)

[08:52] <al1as> what can I do about it?
[08:52] <matteo1990> Hi all , i have an "ATI rage 128" on an old PC and uf i try to enable desktop effects it searchs for avaible drivers without finding anything. When i movee a window it takes lots of time... ANyone knows how to find and install proper driver?
[08:52] <maginot> al1as, buy anything that is not realtek lol
[08:52] <bootninja> GSF maybe when you run as root it is trying to connect and just not letting you login?
[08:52] <suji11> my package iok was accepted in ubuntu, it is now available in packages.ubuntu.com, how to i bring that package to debian repository?
[08:53] <al1as> maginot: windows works just fine with same card
[08:53] <chelz> theadmin: can this not be done via system>preferences>removable media? just turn off the mount when inserted or hotplugs
[08:53] <al1as> maginot: I know that realtek is piace of sh*t
[08:53] <costre> matteo1990, disable all effects :) That's where you end up eventually anyway ;)
[08:53] <al1as> any other recommandations?
[08:53] <bootninja> GSF:  sorry, I don't really know what to tell you otherwise.
[08:53] <maginot> al1as, thats because of the driver, try downloading from realtek a newer driver for linux (if they have any)
[08:53] <theadmin> chelz: No "Removable media" in preferences
[08:54] <johntramp> maginot: yeah 1tb external
[08:54] <maginot> al1as, and be sure if the drive that linux is using is the right one
[08:54] <chelz> bootninja: after typing the first few letters of a nick in irc you can hit the tab button to autocomplete the name. similar to autocompletion in the terminal
[08:54] <matteo1990> costre, i can't even enable them, the problem still remains for normal windows :S
[08:54] <maginot> johntramp, this HD was used on a Macintosh ?
[08:54] <bootninja> chelz, awesome
[08:54] <GSF1200S> bootninja, thats cool.. thanks for the help
[08:54] <al1as> maginot: *trying to download new driver*
[08:54] <johntramp> yeah
[08:54] <johntramp> she uses a mac
[08:54] <costre> matteo1990, That is worse. There is a tool for downloading and configuring video drivers, cant remember the name right now :/
[08:54] <maginot> johntramp, Hmm that may be the problem, mac uses HFS+ as default fs...
[08:54] <bootninja> now if I could only figure out this sound thing.

[08:56] <maginot> johntramp, did you ran #fdisk /dev/sdg and typed "p" to list the partitions of the disk?
[08:56] <chelz> theadmin: somewhere in preferences there should be a place for configuring Removable Media

[08:57] <chelz> bootninja: not if you use the source from ubuntu. if you use source from kernel.org then it is just as tricky. scan over this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[08:57] <johntramp> maginot: no just fdisk -l /dev/sdg
[08:57] <luis_> helouuu
[08:57] <maginot> johntramp, no, fdisk /dev/sdg , them type "p" to print the partition table, to exit just type "q"
[08:57] <johntramp> maginot: doing it that way doesn't make a difference, still nothing shows
